Dark Jandroy: A silent hunter.

Prairie and Sheckley were starting up their planes...
Prairie was waiting for Alouette.

"Move move!" Sola said as she ran into the cargo plane,Jan followed.

"Hai Guyz-" Jan said.

"Oh will you ever..." Sola interrupted.

Alouette hopped aboard the Interceptor, with Prairie awaiting clearance for takeoff...

Jan and Sola's plane wreckage was in the way...

The cargo plane started to lift off.
"Strap yourselves in!" Tails said over his shoulder.

The Hellcat and the Interceptor were capable of vertical takeoff... but they still had difficulty with the wreckage in the way.

The sky had a black cloud amongst the white ones...this one was moving fast.

Alex noticed the black cloud and signaled for Wrench to haul tail out of the area, which he proceeded to do.

The cloud was massive!! it was a swarm of fighter/bombers heading towards the abandoned base. No giant ships though. Dark Jandroy was smart enough to know that it was too slow for them.

"Hang on!!" Tails gained speed,lifting the plane up with the stick and flying up,now heading for a direction not even Elisa knows.

"Follow me." He said into the radio which was easy to find and use.

Sadly,since this plane belonged to Dark Jandroy,he can tap into the channel as well.

Rellik was beginning to try to hold the bombers and fighters off.

The fighters were strong elites,out-maneuvering Rellik with instant teleportation devices and short bursts of strong plasma bolts.

The bombers had no weapons for defence...they only carried bombs.

Tony was also in the Sea Swan looking back at the fighter swarm, "I think now's a good time to try out Mac's new toy," he said to himself as he opened the weapon case, reveling a modified crossbow, several bolts of different types, most notably EMP pulse bolts, and three packs of C4. Tony loaded a bolt into the crossbow and armed the EMP bomb before firing it into the fighter swarm.

The bolt pierced into a bomber and the attached EMP pulse deactivated it's engines, plus a fighter teleporting next to it.

The bombers fell towards the ground,exploding in a burst of flames.

The fighters were catching up,nearing the cargo plane.

"Oh dear." Elisa saw a few fighters teleport beside the plane.

Prairie tried to get a lock on the fighters that telported in...

The fighters didn't notice the others,they had strict orders to eliminate the cargo plane.

Rellik had his main missile on a single fighter. He pushed a button, and the missile began chasing the fighter.

The fighter went full speed just to avoid the missile,it also shot out a few flares.

Prairie opened fire on the fighters with the Interceptor's vulcan cannons, spraying many shells within a matter of seconds.

Sheckley was tailing a fighter, focusing the Hellcat's lasers on it.

The fighter fell victim to the vulcan cannons,smoke poured out of the back and it started to fall.

A large fighter,bigger amongst the rest was approaching fast..it had 6 turbo engines and 80 missile tubes.

"I know that plane.." Sola seemed to be a little anxious.

Alouette looked back at the fighter... she certainly knew this was a cause for concern.

"Orders sir?" A grey haired fox was the pilot of such a plane.

"Obliverate them all..." Dark Jandroy said,the channel shared with Tails' plane.

"Guys...we're gonna get into a heap of trouble." Sola said.

The black fighter burst its speed tremendously,firing missiles at its back and zooming past every other plane.

It took 2 seconds for the missile to find a target of its own.

Alouette looked at the missile heading towards them... she whimpered.

A fireball was thrown in front of the missile, and it burst into several smaller fire balls, providing a group of make-shift flares.

25 of the missiles fell for the trap,exploding in strong burst of high-yield explosives...

25/80 down

The grey fox looked behind her shoulder,a camera placed behind her plane allowed her to see what was going on. Her missiles were reloaded for a second run. She spun the plane around and aimed for a clear opening,readying the missiles tubes.

"Incoming!" Sola pointed at some missiles.

"I got it handled." Tails said,arming a defensive auto-cannon which allowed Elisa to use.

Elisa fired the auto-cannons at the missiles with care not to hit her own friends.

Rellik's main missile hit the back of the ship due to the lack of targets it was seeking for. "No, no, no. Tails! Bad idea!" Rellik yelled through his transmitter, trying to chase the ship and dodging the autocannon's ammunition.

"I'm hit!" The black ship started to smoke,the main thruster was damaged and the missile fire controls were fried.
"I'm gonna have to call it quits..see yah." She gave a public announcement and used the emergency turbo drives to blast out of the area within 4 seconds.

Elisa stopped firing..
"Then?!" She shouted.

A missile slammed into the cargo plane's tail,causing fire onboard.
"THEN?!" Elisa shouted again.

Sola grabbed the fire-extinguisher unit and tried to douse the flames.She lost her balance and fell,nearly falling off the plane by grabbing the bar from the explosion.

"Oh great." Jan went over to help Sola up but slipped and fell as well,grabbing onto Sola's leg to not fall off to an end of his life.

"Pull us up!!!" Sola shrieked.

One last missile inbound was about to crash into the plane...headed for the front...Tails cannot do any evasive maneuvers because doing so would cause Sola and Jan to fall off but staying still there would cause the plane to explode...

Elisa was a little helpless either...She was thinking quickly..a sight of Sola's hand slipping from the bar was already enough to make her panic.She must stay relaxed to successfully pull this off.

Elisa abandoned the auto-cannon and carefully reaching out to Sola who was also desperately reaching out to Elisa's hand. Elisa had trust in her friends..but will it pay back?

The missile was about to crash into the cockpit..Tails closed his eyes and prepared for the worst,having thoughts about death,a scary thought to have.

The cloud of bombers were heading home after dropping their payload onto the abandoned base...

But a seperate cloud of fighters were fast approaching in all directions.
