Author's Note: This chapter will be extra long compared to my other ones, I decided against leaving a cliffhanger and just putting the whole mission into a single chapter.


The Little Birds fly close to the ground, only 30 meters above the fields after moving past the vast mountain ranges that divided Alnus Hill and Sadera.

"Reaching AO in ETA 2 minutes." Sam speaks on the radio.

"10-4. Weapons tight. NODs on." Ryan firmly replies on the radio to everyone, letting the wind gush into his face before he flips his NVGs down and over his eyes.

The Little Birds were into a small formation, with the MH-6Ms in the center in line with two AH-6Ms in the front leading the charge and two AH-6Ms on the side to provide cover.

Everyone else flips their NVGs down, checking their weapons as silence fills the radio for a minute.

"Vulture and Raptor teams, this is Hornet 2-1, flight of two F-35s, four AGMs for the section, standby for SEAD over." One of the F-35 pilots says on the radio, flying by the group of Little Birds, one gives a thumbs up and another pilot gives a nod to the team.

"Solid copy Hornet. Give 'em hell." Sam responds on the radio.

The two F-35s suddenly burst into speed, their engines suddenly propelling them forward to the walls of Sadera where two watchtowers could be seen up ahead.

"Good tone, good tone. Fox-three, Fox-three." The pilot says on the radio before two rockets drop from the fighter jets and the thrusters from the missiles activate, sending two propelling to one tower as another set of missiles are sent to the second one.

The missiles make impact, crumbling the towers and causing whoever on there to fall to their death before another missile from another tower starts to follow the jets.

"Shit. Got a spell on me, maneuvering." Hornet 2-1 starts to try and swerve before flying up, pushing the nose of his jet up he starts to fly the jet to do Kvochur's maneuver, causing the spell to barely miss his jet and blow up right next to him before stabilizing and suddenly bursting to get away from the walls.

"All teams you're cleared to move in, Hornet 2-2 out. Good luck." The other F-35 pilot says before leaving with his partner.

"Raptor 2-1 copies."

"Vulture 1-1 copies all."

The Little Birds start to push upward, keeping themselves low as they push through the opening in the walls and hover low to the ground.

Bells started to toll around the capital, maybe a majority of the force was on the front lines, but that didn't mean that they weren't outnumbered here.

"Seems we kicked the beehive once again... this time let's actually make this the last time, I've had it with this place." Chris remarked, of all people here, he just really hated being in the capital, last time he was here he had a stone shard in his chest.

"Vulture moving to clear a path." The AH-6M pilot says on the radio as the 4 AH-6Ms start to push forward faster than the other MH-6Ms as they climb up to the designated landing zone.

"Guns guns guns. Guns guns guns." One of the AH-6M flies over the mass of forces, sending a hydra missile at them as the other AH-6Ms lay down fire with their M134 miniguns.

A few seconds afterward, dense smoke from the gunfire started to fill the area before the 3 MH-6Ms hit the dirt.

"Let's move." Ryan says, patting Kali's shoulder before raising his rifle and hopping off the MH-6M with Kali.
