Location: Batanes, Philippines
The ZF Motif and its carrier strike group, along with the ZF Victory and its fire support group, are heading to Okinawa, but suddenly a group of Crimson Moths armada that came from Taiwan is heading towards them. The ZF Agera and the U-2000 have arrived at the same time when the two fleets were blocked by the enemy ships. Capt. Peterson has talked to Cmdr. Faulke and Jaime to discuss the situation.
Capt. Peterson: This isn't good...
Cmdr. Faulke: I know, this is gonna be a bloodbath
Jaime: This isn't good at all, Sir.
Capt. Peterson: Yes, this means war.
Gabriel heads to the Motif's bridge to talk to Capt. Peterson. He also assured that the Victory strike group is also there.
Gabriel: What's going on here?
Capt. Peterson: We'll go to war against these guys.
Gabriel: Do what we must.
One of the Crimson Moth's destroyers has fired a missile at a destroyer from the Motif strike group but was intercepted by an anti air missile from it. The destroyer from the Motif's fleet fires a Mk54 torpedo at the destroyer, damaging it.
Gabriel: We've done it!
Capt. Peterson: Yeah, we did.
The ZF Motif has launched 6 JAS-39Ns and 2 Nesher Ns and begin to fight the Crimson Moth's fleet. The Suzaku has launched 6 F-2Ns to intercept the Motif's fighters and the JAS-39Ns use their EW cloaks to avoid radar detection. This would be tough for the F-2s as they would only focus to attack the Neshers, which look older but they also have advanced avionics. Lt. Alefounder and Lt. Owens are two of the pilots onboard the JAS-39Ns and they made a single kill each.
Gabriel: Get ready, Sean
Lt. Owens: Yes, sir
Gabriel: And you, Joey?
Lt. Alefounder: Same, we're both ready.
Capt. Yelland: Good for you two.
5 Kfir NGs, 5 AV-8Ds, and 10 JAS-39Ns from ZAF have joined the battle, this would cause a damage to the Crimson Moth's morale. Apart from Zaphnath Force, Darkhaven has sent 10 Mirage F1s and 5 MiG-21bis to fight the Crimson Moth's fighters. Lanz is flying a Kfir NG while John Alex is flying a Mirage F1.
Lanz: This is great, John
John: Yeah, we're gonna win this.
Lanz: I know
The ZF Victory and the Honshu have faced each other, both battleships have fired their main guns against each other but the Victory is also equipped with missiles from its VLS, which has an advantage over the Honshu. The ZF Victory fires two Brahmos missiles at the Honshu, damaging its aft guns. The ZF Blue Tang has fired a Mk48 torpedo on a destroyer and sinks it with ease, while the ZF Agera fires a torpedo at the Honshu's propellers, making it unable to move on its own. Georg Istlaven has fired a torpedo at the Honshu's hull, damaging it, while the JAS-39Ns from the ZF Motif have fired RBS-15s at the Suzaku's flight deck and hits it with ease. The Suzaku has lost 3 F-2Ns and a T-2M
Sean: Great, you scored on one of their ships.
Joey: Yeah, thanks mate.
Chikasi Akitake and Raizō Sadaharu, who are flying the F-2Ns, couldn't find the JAS-39s due to their EW cloaks being activated. This would be an advantage for Zaphnath Force's fighters to fight the two Crimson Moth aces. Sean has locked at Chikasi and fires an I-Derby ER at him at no escape zone, which shot Chikasi down. After that, a MiG-23B Flogger has arrived to help the two PMCs fight the Crimson Moths. It is flown by an old Zaphnath member named Mark.
Lt. Owens: Hey, old friend
Mark: Long time no see
Lt. Owens: Yeah, it's been a while since.
Three MH-60Rs have arrived at the Suzaku and the troops that came from the choppers have performed an irregular warfare inside to capture the Crimson Moth's aircraft carrier. On the other hand, two JAS-39Ns have fired RBS-15 missiles at the Honshu, with one of them hitting the bridge. Three destroyers have fired 5 missiles at the Honshu, putting a nail on its coffin. With the Suzaku being captured and the Honshu being sunk, the battle became a huge blow to the Crimson Moths. This battle would give them a hard time to reconstruct their maritime force, with the loss of 3 missile destroyers, a heavy cruiser, a submarine, an aircraft carrier, and a battleship.
