As Maverick continues to remove the stress he felt after nearly getting seduced by Prinz Eugen by flying at supersonic speed. His former wingman Lt. Cdr. Johnny "Magnum" Monroe is in a tight spot at this moment. His routine patrol duties with a newcomer has turned ugly as six Siren jets appeared out of nowhere and caught them flatfooted. His new wingman bugs out and left the veteran pilot to fend off the enemy by himself. He quickly sends out a distress call in the hopes of being saved by any friendly ally in the area.

Magnum: Mayday! Mayday! This is Lt. Cdr. Johnny "Magnum" Monroe. I'm in deep shit right now. I got six bandits surrounding me. I can't get them off my tails. If there's anybody else flying in the area. I need help right now.

Both the USS Washington and Maverick quickly picks up the transmission and communicate with the endangered pilot.

????: This is Lion's Den. What is your position Magnum?

Magnum: "Zero five zero at least five miles west north west off Hawaii."

????: Damnit! He's almost near Azur Lane headquarters. Launch the alert five aircraft now!

????: Yes sir!

Maverick: Magnum this is Maverick! How far are you from my position? State your angels bro!

Magnum: "Maverick? Great to hear from you bro. I'm zero five zero at least four miles west north west off Hawaii. Angels right five two zero!"

Maverick: Shit! You're almost near my airspace. Hang in there bro I'll be there in thirty seconds.

Magnum: "I'll try my best bro. I just hope that you can get here before they shoot me down."

Maverick: Roger that bro! I'm on my way.

Maverick heads off towards his former wingman's position. As soon as he gets there he sees his buddy completely surrounded six Siren jets. The lead jet open fires with its guns on Magnum. The bewildered pilot dodges by executing an barrel roll. Another jet fires one of its missiles. Magnum once again dodges by banking hard right. He starts to panic as he tries his best to evade all of the enemy's fire. He radios Maverick about his precarious situation.

Magnum: Maverick! Where the hell are you? I'm completely surrounded here. I'm on the defensive. I can't get a decent opening to counterattack!

Maverick: "Right behind them buddy. Hang in there. I'm going to engage now!"

Magnum: Bout damn time!

Maverick gets behind one of the jets and goes for a missile lock.

Maverick: I got a good lock! Firing! Fox 2!

Maverick: Splash one!

Magnum gets elated after Maverick splashes one of the jets. He is now in the clear for a counterattack. He gets behind one of the remaining five Siren jets.

Magnum: Ok you assholes! You just met your match! Time to send you to hell. Fox 2!
