Capital city outskirts, Thestania Empire
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! ROOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRR!!!!
A sudden rumble echoed along with a fierce roar brimming with rage. The Flame Dragons were furious after being confined in dark, narrow underground cages for many long years.
"Hetwig," "Schnabel," and "Zepter."
How it happened remains a mystery, but the three Flame Dragons captured by the Thestania Empire soared gracefully through the sky, scattering sparks of fire with each flap of their enormous wings. Their figure was truly that of the "Kings of the Sky."
Even though they were still some distance away, it was only a matter of time before the Flame Dragons arrived at the capital to unleash their wrath. The people of the capital, bewildered, climbed onto rooftops and high places, turning their eyes toward the source of the roars, and the color drained from all their faces.
"T-t-t-t-t-t-the Flame Dragons!!!!"
"RUN AWAAAAAYYY!!!!"
"If we don't hurry, everyone will be burned alive!!"
"Run, run!!"
"What the fuck is happening in this country!?"
"Idiot! Forget about that, just run!!"
"Mommyyy!! Mommyyy!!"
The imperial capital was thrown into chaos. Everyone hurriedly gathered their belongings, trying to escape the city through the main gate, but it was congested due to an overwhelming crowd. In the midst of the confusion, there were people injured, families separated, and some taking advantage of the chaos to loot. Even the guards struggled to maintain order, with a number of them joining in the escape.
The officials in the assembly were also in turmoil, but Duke Carnegie quickly stepped out of the council chamber and pulled out a radio from his pocket.
"Dad!? What are you doing?"
"I'm going to inform my 'new friends' that we need help."
Click... zzzzz...
"Es-Dee-Ef, can you hear me?! This is Carnegie!"
"Yes, I can hear you. What's the matter?"
"The feared situation has occurred... the Flame Dragons have unleashed!"
"Understood. Leave the rest to us. You should evacuate to a safe place."

Aircraft carrier Hōshō's Bridge, Sea west of the Thestania Empire
"Captain Matsunaga, there's a message from the flagship Kirishima. It seems we received a wireless transmission from Duke Carnegie in the capital... stating that the Flame Dragons have unleashed."
"Launch the F-35Js from the 3rd Air Wing. Make sure to avoid fighting over the city; we must lure them to the outskirts before taking them down."
"Understood."
Eight F-35J fighters taking off from the aircraft carrier Hōshō formed a neat formation as they headed toward the capital.
"What's the ETA?"
"Approximately three and a half minutes."
