Sky 8.400 m above sea level, 400 km east of Harlow
The rising sun illuminated the sky 8.400 meters above sea level. Fifty Estrelas, the Lemurian Empire's pride and mainstay fighter aircraft, flew in perfect formation, soaring above the sea of clouds.
Their mission: to annihilate the approaching enemy fighter squadron...
"C-confirmed! The enemy has launched missiles!"
The missile alert system blared incessantly. Though the responses from the magical radar remained suboptimal, there was enough feedback to engage in battle effectively.
"Once we have a lock, fire all missiles!"
Following the orders of the Ace of Aces, all units began targeting based on the faint magical signals and prepared to launch their magical missiles.
"First wave of magical missiles... fire!"
"Fire!"
"Fire!"
From the 50 fighters of the Sahenantis Lightning Invasion Fleet, the first wave of air-to-air magical missiles was unleashed. The missiles trailed arcs of purple exhaust as they shot straight ahead, soon intersecting with the volley of air-to-air missiles fired by the enemy fighters.
BOOOOM! BOOOOM! BOOOOM!
Several missiles from both sides interfered with each other's guidance systems, causing the active radar proximity fuses to malfunction and detonate prematurely. The resulting explosions triggered additional detonations in nearby missiles, but the surviving missiles from both sides continued on their paths toward their respective targets.

Sky 8.500 m above sea level, about 200 km east of Harlow
Forty F-35Js from the 5th and 6th Air Wings of the JASDF promptly assumed an interception posture and launched the first volley of AAM-6 missiles after confirming the location and scale of the enemy fighter squadron from the E-767 AWACS patrolling at an altitude of 13.000 meters.
Their mission was to annihilate or neutralize the enemy aerial fleet.
Data displayed on the radar screen revealed that the enemy fighter squadron was just slightly below the two JASDF squadrons. Real-time visuals were continuously transmitted to the projector screens embedded in the pilots' specialized combat helmets.
Friendly aircraft were marked as green circles, while hostiles appeared as red inverted triangles.
The radar screen clearly distinguished friend from foe. So far, the enemy had not employed any electronic jamming devices. Whether this was due to overconfidence in their technological superiority despite equal numbers, or simply because the concept of electronic jamming did not exist in their tactical doctrine, remained unknown. Regardless, caution was paramount.
"Enemy missile launch confirmed—40 missiles!"
Shortly after the first volley, a report came in from AWACS. While the JASDF had launched missiles before, this was the first time they had faced a situation where missiles were fired at them. A wave of tension rippled through the pilots.
"Feather 08 transmitting enemy missile trajectories to all units."
"Roger... Archer 05, Archer 06, Archer 08—initiate evasive maneuvers."
