Planes: Interception

Aftermath

It was still pitch black at night time, the Prime Minister was discussing with the two courageous pilots who put their lives on the line for others.
The PM began the discussion, "What happened out there?" she said so seriously that the two pilots couldn't help but gulp.
Ben spoke.
"Well, we were simply flying over the channel at about 6000 feet until a missile locked onto and was fired upon number 7 which he somehow evaded, we were ordered to neutralise the threat, which we did then number 9 had been shot in the right wing, she is now in the hanger being checked on, I heard she fell unconscious shortly after landing."
The Prime Minister didn't say anything and walked out the room. 
Jeremy just froze, "Well then, that was quick." he stated.
"I don't know about you but I want to get some sleep, I don't want to think about tonight anymore, I'll go insane if I don't rest." Ben yawned.
"You and me both, Mate." 
--------- 
In the hanger at the end of the runway, two mechanics were inspecting the damage on Ember's right wing.
"This is...no ordinary bullet that's hit her looks like a military grade incineration bullet it's completely burnt part of the wing, inside and out, the aileron is completely baked, she'll have to have both wings replaced." 
Dusty was standing at the other side of the hanger, watching in guilt, He felt like it was his fault for not keeping an eye out, he should have taken the hit, not her, Dusty couldn't help but let a small tear fall. 
---------
The sun rose among the fields and the base, Ember's wings had been replaced which looked exactly the same.
Ben and Jeremy were watching the TV before they were briefed on what would happen in the day, just then all the programs had been interrupted for an announcement, the Prime Minister was on screen.
"Fellow citizens of the United Kingdom, Last night Russia carried out a despicable act of war on two brave pilots escorting classified entities, our air force responded with force and bravery, Russian forces also attacked one of the entities, almost compromising their safety and protection, Russia has always been testing us, but this time parliament is drawing the line, It is unfortunate to say that from now we are at war with Russia, to protect our country from those who seek to ruin our ordinary way of life, I wish not to use nuclear weapons in this war, but should Russia carry that out on us, we will respond in the correct manner, I thank you for your time." 
Both Ben and Jeremy were speechless for almost a minute.
"We need to get those two home before they are caught in the crossfire," Ben spoke quickly. 
-----------
Russia, Moscow, Local time 
The president of Russia was holding a meeting with his senior members of the council. 
"The UK declared war on us, over two pathetic 'sentient' planes?" 
One of the council members spoke up, "Appears so." 
The president spoke again slamming on the table.
"We outnumber them, they are fools to think they can overcome us, and we will fight them, Find where those two sentient planes are, find the base where they are being hidden.....AND DESTROY IT!" 
-----------
Back at Coningsby, Ember was finally waking up after being repaired.
"Wha-What happened, Where am I?" She opened her eyes to a blur as she was still coming round, she saw an orange shade approach him.
"It's me, Dusty it's ok, I am here." 
Ember's sight had cleared to see it was dusty standing in front of her, She squealed and rolled right into dusty as if to hug him.
Dusty was stunned at how quick she reacted and he did feel a little awkward but he would rather Ember be happy than worry about himself.
Ben had walked into the hanger catching the two lovebirds by surprise.
"All having a good time here?"
Dusty and Ember both turned and looked at Ben.
Ember was blushing heavily, "Oh-uh it was nothing I just woke up and my wheel slipped and I fell into Dusty"
Ben just gave Ember one of his 'really' looks, "Mhm, Sure" he said sarcastically, "Anyway I hate to be a downer but we have some bad news."
"What could that be?" Dusty asked.
"Well, After the attack last night, we are now at war with Russia, Meaning we need to get you back home."
Ember remarked, "But, we didn't even know how we got here, how would you know how to get us back?"
Ben scoffed, "We know how to get you back, but I'll explain later, problem is to get you back we would have to fly into North Korea." 
Dusty and Ember's eyes widened, they knew North Korea was not a country you wanted to go to, even in there world they were the exact same.
Ben continued, "For now, we don't need to go yet, we still need to plan and prepare which will take a couple of weeks at least, so you may as well get comfortable for a bit, if you want we could go flying later, however, we would have to stay above land and not go out to sea." 
"Agreed" Dusty and Ember both simultaneously said.
Ben backed way a little.
"That's gonna creep me out one da---"  
A loud explosion was heard from the other side of the base, Ben ran outside to see what was going on,
"Oh my god." He whispered
There was an armada of 35's all diving upon the base, the CO ran into the hanger, 
"WE'RE BEING BOMBED, WE'RE BEING BOMBED, SCRAMBLE, SCRAMBLE, SCRAMBLE." 
Ben, ran over to the two scared planes, 
"Wait here, I'll lock down the hanger, you'll be safe, this hanger can resist direct missile and bomb strikes, just stay quiet, if they do find you, they shouldn't be able to get in and the ground forces will deal with them." 
Jeremy had come running out of his quarters, running towards his typhoon with his flight gear on, It was terrifying for everyone on the base, all the alarms were sounding in all areas of Coningsby and all the pilots were running towards their typhoons because by now it was kill or be killed.
