The Sky Games

Chapter 1 Part 1 - The Beginning

The day is here. The very fateful day where many feared. 60 men has been chosen to fight in a remote island. They're getting prepared. Smith is one of the chosen. He is a professional pilot. Despite his talent, he is still scared of what could happen in the battlefield. "Attention, competitors! The game will begin shortly," said the host. Smith sweats of fear falls with his hands shaking uncontrollably. He reaches the throttle and the yoke of his aircraft.

"3..."
"2...
"1..."
"Begin the battle!"

Smith pulls the throttle at the maximum speed then slowing to adjust to the surrounding air. He begins ascending off the ground to the sky. He turns left then right and so on, hoping he wouldn't stumble upon other competitors. "I'm not going to die in this game... I want to survive... Fuck!" He shouted. As he was concentrating on flying, his radar sensed two missiles speeding directly towards him. Panicking, he took a sharp turn, evading the missiles. "What the fuck was that?!"

It has only been 5 minutes and there's already an aircraft attacking him. Fearing death, he tries to escape from the attacker. His aircraft is a special military aircraft, K-76. It's speed is almost as fast as the North American X-5 fighter jet. Even with such speed, the attacker is still able to catch up with Smith. The attacker is using a special aircraft invented in purpose of wars, G-86. With the speed slightly better than the K-76, it can easily catch up with Smith. It can launch two or four missiles at a time. But this aircraft is modified, so it can only shoot two missiles at a time and the cooldown before using it again of twenty seconds is raised to five minutes. The use of machine guns is unlimited but saving ammos is still necessary.

"My aircraft can't shake him off... What do I do now?!" He looks around in the cockpit and notices a communication radio. "I could use this to negotiate with him!" He sets up the radio to communicate with the G-86.

"Hello? This is the K-76 pilot! Please settle down so we could negotiate!"

...

Silence breaks out for a moment. Then, his radio started making noises.

"...Smith?"

A familiar voice is heard through his ears.

"Jake? Is that you? Is that really..."

"Yes."

"You were chosen too?!"

"Mhm."

"But I didn't see you at the training facility!"

"I was scheduled to train a week earlier because the training facility were full."

"I see... It has been so long hasn't it?"

"Yes. We were good friends. Speaking about good friends, do you think we could team up?"

"I didn't see anything against it in the rules. So I guess it is fine. Let's team up!"

"Sure!"

So they flies together, next to each other, as a team.
