You are KARLA WEISS, a Belkan fighter pilot looking to carve your own place in the skies!

You just can't peel your eyes off the map.

Every time you look at it the big red line going from B7R to Oured, you know, somewhere deep inside, that along that line might be where you father could be, living or dead. Judging from the cargo he took from the Vault, it was almost a no brainer that he his last mission was a vengeance attack against Oured. The last gasp of a vengeful and dying regime. Considering Oured wasn't an irridiate crater, it was safe to assume that Dad balked or something went wrong. You really hoped that it was the former.

You had relayed your findings to Uncle, too, seeing as how he'd have better resources to investigate.

Suddenly, you're interrupted by a knock on your door, and, as was typical with Lara, she just straight up opens the door and pokes her head inside, completely defeating the point of knocking in the first place.

"Yo, Karla! You ready to roll or what? Our next patrol is soon!" She says happily with her usual pre-mission anticipation.

"Yeah yeah, just a second." You grumble, quickly folding up the map so Lara wouldn't see.

"Yeah yeah, I'm coming." You sigh as you get up. "Lilian and Amy already there?"

"Of course!" Lara grins.

"Right, right."

You follow Lara out to the hangar, wincing as your met with a small blast wave of heat the moment you exit the barracks. You silently curse whoever designed this base, not putting an enclosed path from the barracks to the hangar areas. The glaring sun from high above and baking pavement below was almost unbearable at times. Finally, you reach the hangar, where you see Samantha casually conversing with Smokey.

"Holy shit." Smokey gapes after having apparently taken a bite out of one of the MREs you had recovered from the vault.

"See? I wasn't full of shit!" Samantha laughs. "It's actually pretty damn good!"

"Goddamn Belkan space magic." Smokey grumbles and looks up to see your arrival. "Oh, hey. Your planes are ready to go."

"Thanks, Smokey." You nod respectfully and turn to Samantha. "Anything new?"

"Not really. Artemis and Dahl are still squabbling over the other Vault. I'll be surprised if that thing ends up intact after all of this." Samantha shrugs. "They don't seem to realize that we raided the other one, and I made sure to have everything we took shipped back to HQ. Well, ALMOST everything."

"I see." You nod, looking at the crates of old Belkan MREs.

"Hey, R&D didn't need ALL of them." Samantha huffs.

"Hey, I'm not complaining!" You laugh.

"Come on, let's go already!" Lara tugs at your sleeve like an excited child.

"Good luck out there. Should just be a normal patrol." Samantha nods.

"When is it EVER a normal patrol whenever somebody mentions it?" You glower.

"Whoops, sorry!"

You just shake your head and drop into the cockpit. You turn to see Lilian and Amy already in their Typhoon and Warthog respectively, while Lara hops into her Eagle.

"All right, so where should we go?" Lara grins. "It's been a while since we fought those Dahl punks! Let's go skirt their line and see if the take the bait! How about it?"

"I'd rather we not be so confrontational." Lilian sighs.

Well, on the one hand, the more enemies downed ,the more you were paid. You don't get rich off of not doing anything. Then again, maybe it would be nice to have a breather...

"Let's play it safe for once." You say. "I think I had enough of being shot at for the time being."

"AAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWW." Lara whines.

"Hey, I'm not complaining. More sleep for me." Amy grunts. "I'm just gonna set my autopilot and doze off now..."

"Oh no you don't." Lilian scolds Amy sternly. "You should take your work more seriously."

"Fiiiiiiiiine."

You all fly aimless over the desert for a bit. By now, Dahl and Hyperion had wised up enough not to try and send any attack forces deep into Atlas territory, thanks in no small part to you and your squadron's efforts. You usually didn't have to worry about any attacks from them. Really, only OB would be bold and/or suicidal enough to try and attack you this far in. Down below, you pass over numerous small settlements and mining facilities operating under Atlas' umbrella of protection. You can actually see people coming out and waving to your flight as you pass. You guess that even ou in these remote parts, the Wild Cards have gotten rather popular.

"Y'know, I was wondering." Lara speaks up, breaking the silence. "Whatever happened to the Butterflies? I miss the lil buggers."

"Last I checked, they're still flying support for the Atlas forces at the Vault." You say sadly. "They're just going in and out constantly. Not a lot of time for them R&R."

"Man, that sucks." Amy says sympathetically. "You'd think they'd have us come in and assist."

"You'd think that." You shake your head.

"Heads up, girls." Loki, the harbinger of inconvenience, speaks up. "I'm picking up a big flurry of activity to your west."

"Enemy contact?" Lara asks with excitement.

"Not exactly. Looks like a skirmish." Loki explains. "I'm picking up lots of Dahl transponders, but a lot of contacts don't have IFF. Presumably OB."

Ah, so it seemed to be a spat between Dahl and OB forces.

"Are they any threat to us?" Lilian asks.

"Not at the moment, but the furball is slowly drifting towards Atlas space." Loki warns. "I don't think they've noticed you, but I'd get ready, if I were you."

"All right girls, we're going in!" You announce.

"Yes!" Lara squeals.

"Figured." Amy says."The Warthog doesn't climb so well so I'll just, uh, stay close to the deck."

"Don't doze off!!" Lara taunts as she immediately puts her Eagle in a climb to gain altitude. You and Lilian follow suit. As you get higher, you manage to get eyes on the air battle. It's easy to spot with all the missile trails, as well as the small, fast moving dots and the occasional flash of light from an explosion. As you try to get a better look, you can see it's quite an odd battle. On the one hand, there's the Dahl force, painted in the signature Dahl green and brown corporate colors. It's mostly a mix of older pattern aircraft, like F-5 Tigers, F-4 Phantoms, and MiG-21s. Hell, you even see A-6 Crusaders and the occasional MiG-15 in the mix.

On the other hand, the OB force were sporting the more modern MiG-29 Fulcrum, with a few Flankers and Super Flankers mixed in for good measure. However, it was proving to be a surprisingly even battle, with both sides slugging it out.

"Dang, they're really going at it, aren't they?" Lara whistles. "Can't wait to blow them all up!"

"Hm, perhaps we should assist the Dahl forces? It would certainly put them in our debt." Lilian suggests.

"Or they'll just shoot us in the backs." Amy warns.

Doing useful things with data like saying 'hey people at the desk, look at this and make useful observations' is kind of how the military functions.

"Focus on the OB planes!" You instruct. "Maybe those Dahl guys will have a sense of fair play."

"All right! Let's kick some OB ass!" Lara whoops as she dives down towards the furball. You and Lilian follow suit as your radar whines with positive locks, though you make doubly sure that your weapons are focusing on OB planes instead of Dahl ones.

You, Lara, and Lilian unleash a torrent of missiles into the furball below. Four of your missiles track and break away to follow a pair of very unlucky Fulcrums. The Fulcrums don't even have a chance and evaporate under the missile impacts. You see Lara and Lilian's missiles streak in from the sides of your vision, Lara's missiles nail a Super Flanker directly in the midsection, snapping it in half while Lilian hits another Fulcrum directly in the tail, blowing its engines off and sending the front half tumbling to Earth, the pilot ejecting in desperation.

At this point, the flow of the battle seems to change instantaneously. The Dahl planes seem to hesitate as they try to figure out what's going on, while the OB planes immediately recognize who you are and begin orienting towards you. You count at least fourteen Fulcrums and six Flankers.

Maybe the Dahl planes could help you out?

You continue on your dive, blowing straight through the furball and using the extra speed to gain some distance from the OB planes. The maneuver takes you straight past your attackers, causing them to hesitate. On the one hand, they could try and pursue you, but on the other, they'd be presenting their backs to the Dahl planes. You see the Flankers turn to pursue you while the Fulcrums stay on course to continue engaging the Dahl planes.

"Looks like we're gonna have some company." You grunt.

"Bring 'em on!" Lara laughs.

"Wait a minute..." Lilian mumbles.

Suddenly, an F-20 Tigershark and F-14 Tomcat burst through the the Fulcrum screen and settle in on the tails of the Flankers. Two of the Flankers immediately break off, but the other two remain stubbornly on your tail, up until the Tigershark and Tomcat tear them apart with close range missile fire.

However, you remain wary of the two Dahl planes, as they were still on your tail. You get ready to turn and engage at a moment's notice, when you hear a voice over an open channel.

"Wait!" The voice crackles through your headset. "Lilian, is that you?"

"S-Shiba?!" Lilian gasps. "What are you doing here?!"

"What are YOU doing here?!" The Dahl pilot responds in kind.

You decide to stay quiet and see how this plays out. After all, it wasn't every day you came across an acquaintance of Lilian's. Especially one flying for one of the "enemy" sides. You also take the chance to pull back a bit to get a closer look at Shiba's plane. It wasn't flying Dahl corporate colors, instead sporting a blue and white finish, which suggested he was flying as a merc, just like you were. On the tail, you noticed what seemed to be a scowling unicorn skull set in front of orange flames. Definitely going for the intimidation factor there, you guess.

The Tomcat, however, didn't look too different, sticking with the standard dull grey paintjob they usually got when rolling out of the factory. Like you, it just seemed to be hanging back and enjoying the show.

"You never mentioned that you were flying for Dahl!" Lilian gasps.

"And you never mentioned that you were flying for Atlas!" Shiba counters.

"Well, technically, I'm flying for Artemis." Lilian corrects. "And- wait. WHY ARE YOU HERE."

Jeez, that must be the first time you ever heard Lilian shout. It was pretty scary, actually.

"Saving up for the wedding, of course!" Shiba says matter of factly.

"D-d-d-don't say that over an open channel!" Lilian squeals. You figure if you put an IR scope on Lilian's Typhoon right now it'd be cherry red.

"What the hell is going on?" Lara asks over your private channel, utterly confused.

"I don't know, but I'm kinda enjoying it." You chuckle.

"Hey guys, what did I miss?" Amy's Warthog rises up to fall into formation with you. "I was mopping a few Shilkas and-"

"Well Holy shit! Amy, is that you?" The new voice, which you presume is coming from the Tomcat, speaks up. "It's Uncle Mickey! You remember me?"

"Ummmmmm.... maybe...?" Amy says uncertainly, suddenly caught off guard.

"Aw, that hurts deep, you know!" Mickey says with feigned sadness. "I suppose you were still just a baby then. How's your father Greg doing? The retired life treating him well?"

"I-what-um." You can clearly picture the gears spinning wildly in Amy's head as she was trying to figure out what was happening.

"Wild Cards, I'm picking up two Dahl contacts flying in formation with you." Loki butts in as always. "Is everything all right?"

"Hahaha, I have no idea what you're talking about!" You force a laugh. "Nobody out here but us Wild Cards!

"Huh, I suppose it might be some technical glitch." Loki mumbles as he puts two and two together. "I'll reboot the system, then. See if that fixes up the problem."

Well, that bought you a little more time.

"So uh, Angel, Magnet, anything me and Stripes should be know about this?" You finally speak up on the open channel.

"Don't ask me. I have no idea what the hell is going on." Amy grunts.

"Oh dear, I never expected to have to explain this..." Lilian says. "Everybody, this is by fiance, Shiba Kazama. Shiba, this is my squadron, the Wild Cards."

"Pleasure." Shiba says as his Tigershark waggles its wings as a show of respect. "I suppose I got you all to thank for keeping Lilian safe."

"That's MY line!" Lilian tuts. "I assume we can thank you, Mr. Simon."

"Shit, just call me Mickey. Mr. Simon sounds like my grandpa." The Tomcat pilot snorts.

"How the heck do you know Amy, anyways?" Lara asks.

"Ha, me and her dad used to be mercs in the Belkan War!" Mickey says nostalgically. Shiba's dad was also part of our crew. Decided to keep an eye on him to repay a few debts I owe his old man."

"Still not ringing any bells." Amy grumbles. "And how long are you gonna follow us for?"

"Jeez, looks like she hasn't picked up any of her old man's manners!" Mickey cackles. "Actually, Greg didn't have much in the way of manners either."

"Q-quit talking about my dad like that!" Amy wails.

"Anyways, looks like we've overstayed our welcome." Mickey grunts. "Come on, Shiba, let's get out of here."

"Um, see you guys later." Shiba says sheepishly he turns around. "Actually, maybe not, because we might end up having to fight..."

"Hey, why don't you guys try joining up with Artemis?" You ask. "You know, that way we'd be on the same side, and you won't be treated as cannon fodder by your bosses, considering they make you fly in those outdated deathtraps."

"Heh, it's not as bad as it seems." Mickey chuckles. "Besides, what kind of self respecting mercs would be we if we dropped our employer like that? Never backed out of a contract in the Belkan War, and I'm not about to start now!"

"Y-yeah. What he said." Shiba says in agreement.

"Shiba, you didn't even fight in the Belkan War." Lilian points out. "And I never did agree with you going into such a dangerous line of work..."

"I could say the same to you." Shiba huffs. "You don't even need the money. Why are you flying?"

"I-" Lilian pauses, as if not sure how to answer that question.

"Oi, Shiba, it's time to go." Mickey grunts. "Looks like duty calls."

"Okay." Shiba says somewhat reluctantly as the Tigershark and Tomcat turn to head back to Dahl space.

You find your trigger finger twitching as you watch them leave. It would be so easy to knock their planes down now and force them to punch out so you wouldn't have to later in... less controlled circumstances.

Then again, something about that didn't seem fair.

"Nah. Wouldn't really be that fair of a fight, then." You say. "You really want that?"

"Yeah, you're right." Lara agrees. "But that means we might have to face him in battle again. A real battle. Lilian... are you prepared for that?"

The rest of the flight back is rather quiet.

No, but I doubt the company would take much of a gamble on the off chance one or both of them won't shoot at each other if they met in the unfriendly skies of B7R.

If someone in Atlas gets wind of it, then our efficiency as a unit is in doubt and we'll not get sent on any more missions, meaning we don't get any more opportunities to blow up Vaults.

So because your irrationally paranoid, you would not even bother asking one of the few people who can help them out for that help? After all, its in Sam and the companies interests if one of their pilots doesn't not have to go up against the person they will marry, kind of ruins productivity and profits...

>>39705750
Fucking exactly, we need Sam's help on this.

"Ah, well, you can say we had a bit of a reunion on that last patrol." You say. You figure at this point you could reliably trust on Samantha not to rat you out on sensitive matters. "Dide Lilian every mention that she had fiance? Name's Shiba Kazama."

"Yeah, and that he also happened to be a merc." Samantha nods and then freezes in realization. "Don't tell me-"

"Yep. Turns out he's flying for Dahl." You confirm. "No shooting yet.

"Shit, that's still gotta be awkward." Samantha frowns. "Doesn't explain Amy, though."

"Yeah, that's where it gets real ridiculous. Apparently, Shib's the kid of one of her dad's old war buddies, and his mentor also happens be one of her dad's war buddies."

"Shiiiiiiiiit." Samantha winces. "That's gonna be awkward as hell."

"No denying that." Samantha nods and then pauses. "Wait a minute... Shiba Kazama... where have I heard that before..."

"Wait, you know him, too?" Lara's eyes widen.

"No, no, not personally, but I swear I heard that name somewhere before..." Samantha bites her lip before snapping her fingers. "Right! He's the son of the owner of Yamato Airlines! One of the biggest airline companies in the world!"

"What." You blink.

"WHAT?!?" Lara gasps. "If he's loaded, why's he scraping in an income on a merc's pay?"

"Who knows. Guess you'll have to ask him." Samantha shrugs. "Then again, why's Lilian running with us, then?"

>>39705786
All right, fair points, I see where you're coming from. I'll try to tone it down.

"Point." You concede. "Doesn't explain how you know him."

"Used to be a big story a few years back. The Kazama's kid went AWOL and they've been looking for him, since. He probably joined up with Dahl under a fake name."

"So he's a fugitive?!?!" Lara gasps.

"No, a missing person." Samantha clarifies. "Last I heard, his parents were offering a huge bounty for information leading to his location. Not sure if you want to rat him out like that, but the option's there..."

"...what kind of bounty are we talking about?" You ask.

"Well, the equivalent of 50,000 credits." Samantha says. "It's a pretty big one."

"Dang." You whistle.

We're not gonna fuck over someone Lillian cares about for cash. We'll shoot him down if it comes to it, but that's just dirty.
>>
>>39705793
>Right! He's the son of the owner of Yamato Airlines! One of the biggest airline companies in the world!

Somehow I find this heartwarming. After all those years Shin finally gets his wish to be in the airline business.
>>
>>39705798

Seems like if one of his dad's old war buddies is watching out for him, either he had a really convincing argument or his pops is in on it.
>>
>>39705853
You got them mixed up MF.


Also, that's actually pretty harsh, especially if Shin actually married his love interest in the manga.
>Oh no my son is following his father's merc roots WHY ALL THIS AGAIN AGGGNHHHH

>>39705853

Think you mean son there Manga

Can Sam pass a message to him somehow? Tell him that we don't want him flying against Lillian, and if he's stubborn and won't pick the smart choice of joining us, we'll call in the bounty

It's not like his reputation matters if he's flying under an alias

>>39705802
We totally should use it to blackmail him to at least atop flying for Dahl here, at best come fly for us
>>
>>39705810
No we wouldnt shoot him down unless he was gunning for us or the girls, at that point I think the marriage would be off
>>
>>39705885
If he gets forced to make the decision before he's ready might get resentful about it.
We don't want that to screw with Lillian's relationship.

"I dunno, it doesn't feel right ratting him out like that. If we're gonna beat some sense into his thick skull, it's gonna be in the air." You harumph.

"Heh, gotta respect that pilot's honor." Samantha nods. "I'll keep this quiet, then."

"That's mighty nice of you." You observe.

"Well, I can't be a good boss if I don't earn the respect of my employees." Samantha puffs with pride. "Besides, it's a nice little tidbit to save for a rainy day."

With that, Samantha gives you a slight nod and makes her exit. Smokey and his crew immediately get to work fixing up the planes, leaving you alone with Lara.

"Man, two lovers on opposite sides of the conflict..." Lara muses. "Sounds really damn romantic... like erm Romeo and Juliet! Yeah! Lilian and Shiba can be just like 'em!"

"You do realize that Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy, right? They both die in the end."

"AW, why'd you have to go spoil the ending for me?" Lara pouts.

"I... what? But that story's been around since foreve- you know what, forget about it." You sigh. Goddamn Lara.

Maybe you should update Uncle on this? He'd be interested in this, but god knows he's got enough work to do already...

Might as well get his two cents. Maybe he'll know his uncle, give us a read on him.

But then again....
would uncle save this info? Or tell the bigwigs?

He might remember it, but I don't think he's the type to spread things around unnecessarily.

Well, you might as well tell Uncle about this. The moment you get back to your room, you pick up the phone and dial up Uncle.

"Ah! Karla, what do you need today?" Uncle says in his usual cheerful tone. "I'm afraid I don't have any solid leads just yet, but I'm sure I can narrow down the search area."

"Yes, yes, but it's not about that." You say. "What do you know about Shiba Kazama?"

"Oh, one of the great mysteries of the age! The heir to one of the largest airline companies in the world, just up and disappearing! Don't tell me you've actually come across him?"

"In fact I have." You say. "He's working as a merc for Dahl."

"Interesting!" Uncle muses. "I wonder what set of circumstances would have him leave his privileged lifestyle..."

"Well, enough about that." You sigh. "Do you know anything in particular about him?"

"Not really, apart from the details everybody already knows before he disappeared. He wasn't considered a security risk so we never really bothered to do any serious background checking on him.

"All right, then what about Mickey Simon?"

"Now THAT is a name we know very well." Uncle grunts. "Served as a mercenary for the Allied forces in the Belkan War. He was part of the Ustian 88th Tactical Fighter Squadron. I believe your wingmate Amy's father was also part of that unit and... ah yes! Of course, a certain Shin Kazama was also a member of that unit. They were a particularly fearsome unit, second only to Galm Team. Obviously, Greg Gates and Shin Kazama retired after the Belkan War, but Mickey Simon continues to be a mercenary for hire. I guess out of all of them, he couldn't leave the lifestyle behind..."

"Not sure whether to respect or pity that." You muse.

"Indeed."

"Oh right, how's Milly doing, by the way?" You ask, wondering how your little squire was doing.

"Very well, actually. She'll be eligible for active duty very soon. She's requesting to be able to fly an F-16 like you used to."

"That's good to hear." You grin. "Anyways, I gotta go. Take care, Uncle."

"You take care too, Karla." Uncle says happily.

You then hang up the phone and drop down on your bed, staring at the ceiling. Today has just been an INCREDIBLY odd day...

>And that's it for tonight! As always, next thread is next week. Don't forget to catch the premiere of Vertical Tank Quest on Saturday and PJ Witches on Sunday!

Today didn't have much combat, but this was just as hectic as if it was.
Well, at least my head is.

Well, the thread started rather late on the account of Ultron, so some stuff had to be cut, unfortunately!
