The dawn of an ace

The birth of flame flyer was on the 16th April 1998 in Manehattan hospital she was a black Pegasus with hair that stuck backwards and looked just like a flame with red, orange and yellow sections and her eyes were a fiery red. Her father worked with the police and her mother at a bakery, they also had a 3 year old brother who had a fascination with the navy. When Flame Flyer was taken home for the first time, there were lots of toys waiting in her room to be played with, she was routing through all her toys when she came to a toy plane, it was green on top and red on the bottom and had bright blue windows. Every day she would play with this plane flying it in her right hoof all around the house sometimes knocking things over in her path! If she wasn't playing with her toy, she would usually be flying around and usually crashing into things.

Two long years had gone by and Flame Flyer was taken to her first air show, she liked the fighters that displayed especially the Equestrian F-15 c's the Ultimate of the eagle fighters, she loved the roar of the two engines on afterburner, the sound filled her ears but she didn't care how loud it was unlike the other fillies who would keep on crying. Because she liked the F-15 so much she was gifted a model of one. When she went home, Flame flyer would just constantly stare at the model all day and all night she would just keep on smiling and kept on focusing on it totally unaware of what was going on around her.

Five years had flown by and flame flyer graduated to the R.E.A.F cadets flying Cessna 182's where she started getting cocky. When other pilots were trained on the basics like roll, pitch and yaw, Flame Flyer was already doing loops and barrel roll's and flying under low bridges scaring her instructors to a point where they wouldn't fly along with her. After many dangerous flights, Flame Flyer was told to go to the Commanding officer's room, he didn't seem happy, "What do think your'e doing pulling off dangerous stunts like that? The Cessna 182 is not designed for your style of flying is it?!"
Flame Flyer replied with a strong serious face,"No sir!"
The C.O replied back, "Exactly, that is why I'm pleased to say were moving you to 430 ace training squadron because I think there is potential in you and there are aircraft that are born for your style of flying and you can do it 6 times faster! No pony ever has gone to 430 squadron at your age, you will be challenging some of the top pilots in all of Equestria! In a few minutes time there should be C-23 coming to take you to Norwood air base, good luck!"
Flame Flyer kept her face stiff and replied,"Thank you sir!"
The C.O replied,"Now get out of my sight!" When she left the office her bottom jaw dropped as far as it could and she flew, did a little loop and let out a large,"Hurrah!"

Twenty minutes later, the C-23 Sherpa touched down at Norwood air base. Flame Flyer was greeted by a Tornado GR-4 with its wings fully swept back at an altitude of about 200 feet, she got really excited. Norwood air base was next to the coast and had two runways with a length of about 9,000 feet for the north/south facing one and about 8,500 feet for the north west/east east facing one. Norwood air base was also the primary airbase for Lancaster bombers during World war two then being replaced by the bigger more powerful Avro Lincoln after the war, which was then replaced by the Avro Vulcan. The Squadron for the bombers, (672 squadron) moved to Harmony air base, 23 miles south west of Norwood air base and 4 miles away from Ponyville. 672 squadron currently operates B-52's, as it is one of few intercontinental bombers left in the world.

Flame Flyer was immediately told to go to the briefing room, there she found the C.O for the base who was to be given a tour of the base, "Welcome to Norwood air base, this is one of 27 air bases in Equestria. Now Flame Flyer, time for your tour of the base, first to the west hangars." The C.O and Flame Flyer stepped into a Land Rover Defender 110 and were at the west Hangars within an instant, they stepped out and the C.O started talking, "Equestria may seem a peaceful place but actually were at a constant state of alert from multiple countries up north, these countries are the New Lunar Republic, Nationalist Republic of Sombra and Changelingland, so we must keep on top in power of these countries, at these hangars, we have E-3 A.W.A.C.S, which stands for Airborne warning and control system."
After an hours tour, Flame Flyer was directed to her training aircraft, a Hawk T.1, noted for it's agility and in fact needs less maintenance than any other aircraft in the world. Flame Flyer loved the aircraft and gave it a big cuddly hug and then remembering that the C.O was right behind her she turned and gave him a salute.

Flame Flyer was back in briefing and now went by the name Burner, her colleague went by the name Eclipse, a colt who was brown and had black hair that spiked forward, he was always wearing sunglasses. The C.O briefed on her mission, "You will be flying today over Ponyville as you will be joined by Rainbow Dash for some Practice combat you will not be permitted to go over 10,000 ft on this mission, you will be joined by Bullet Rider and Rupture, good luck!"
Bullet rider was a Colt with a mane like Iceman's hair from Top Gun and his fur was a bright yellow he liked to chew gum whereas Rupture had no mane and had red fur, his face always looked like an evil genius.
Burner got into her Hawk with a solid face with Eclipse right behind her. Burner and Bullet rider were on the runway and gave their Rolls Royce Adour turbofans up to maximum thrust and were on their way.

After 7 minutes, Burner and Bullet rider were over Ponyville with rainbow dash waiting for them on a cloud, Pinkie Pie, Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Applejack and Fluttershy cheering for Rainbow Dash with Twilight and Pinkie being Cheerleaders! A.T.C cleared them to engage. Immediately, Rainbow Dash went down with Burner and Bullet rider doing a split s maneuver to get her. Next, Rainbow Dash thought it would be funny to go low level past her friends and through Ponyville and to try and get the pilots to not follow her but Burner followed Dashie and gave Bullet rider orders," Bullet rider go around the outskirts of Ponyville and try to flank Dashie"! Bullet rider broke off and wnt around Ponyville. Rainbow Dash shot past her friends nearly knocking them off their hooves Applejack replied," My sweet Celestia, I hope she don't do nothing like that again, well at least it can't get any worse!"
Of course the ponies forgot about Burner who now went screaming past their heads! Fluttershy got so scared that she ran away faster than ever before and Applejack's hat was blown away about 50 feet! Applejack then said in a calm way," well that was noisy", and fell onto her back with a big sigh.

Rainbow Dash flashed through Ponyville and straight past Derpy who was staggered and then walked backwards and knocked a colt into the river, he was angry and Derpy said," Sorry"
but she flew away and didn't bother to help him out of the river then Burner went through and the jet wash made every loose object fly away. Coming out of Ponyville, Rainbow Dash kept her straight course and when she started going she said to herself," Too Easy", but then she turned and saw Bullet Rider come towards her and Bullet Rider shouted ," Rainbow Dash you have been flanked, yeah!"
Rainbow Dash went to a cloud and sulked," How did I not see him, I'm the best flyer in all of Equestria how how how?"
She started to break tears. Then Bullet rider started talking to Burner, "You sure know some tactics girl!"
Burner replied, "Do you know any?"
She said this with full confidence. Then Eclipse said," you just got owned there Bullet rider!"
and Rupture agreed, "I must agree, you got owned there!"
Bullet rider replied to Burner, "Ha ha ha ha, I'll get you next time, anyway lets head back to the barn!"
Bullet rider kept his smile for good 30 seconds.

Burner let out a smile and then looked forward again, her smile was wiped off her face, when she saw a dark blob in the distance, "Hey Bullet rider whats that in the distance?"
Bullet rider scanned for this blob and then finally got a glimpse, "what the hell is that? Is it an F-15?"
Rupture said, " The F-15 pilots are working in the far east so it can't be an F-15"
Eclipse asked, "How about F-18's?"
Rupture replied, "no, all F-18 pilots are off duty today!"
Then Burner, saw an orange light envelop the strange aircraft she new what it was, " Crap, missile, and it's heading towards you Bullet Rider, Eject I repeat, Eject!"
They managed to eject about 3 seconds after their aircraft got destroyed, they were just about safe distance from the explosion. Burner quickly alerted the tower "Tower, we have an enemy aircraft over Ponyville request support, Bullet rider and Rupture have ejected to safety!"
The tower responded, " Roger that Burner, alerting Q.R.A pilots and an S.A.R helicopter to pick up Bullet rider and Rupture, estimated time of support is 2 minutes, can you make out what aircraft it is?"
Burner replied after a few seconds, "Oh no, it's an N.L.R Su-35 Flanker I repeat, an N.L.R Su-35 Flanker!"
The tower replied, " Do as much evasive maneuvering as you can!"
Burner put an angry face on and was ready to evade.

Burner went up slightly and then went down to confuse the pilot, she pulled a 7'g turn left and then a 7'g right, the Flanker went down at blistering speed and was on her tail Burner entered the gorge with the Flanker on her tail, she though she could get away because of how narrow the gorge is and how small her aircraft is but she was wrong, the Flanker followed her and she was flying on the edges of the gorge switching sides to confuse the lock on of the Flanker. The Flanker pilot switched to the gun and was firing it, Burner was doing left barrel rolls for some time until the pilot became used to this and she flew up out of the gorge almost vertical. The Flanker pilot watched as Burner evaded the path of bullets, the Flanker pilot pulled a transition to ascent so hard that pressure clouds formed on the wings and they bent upwards so much they looked like they were going to break, and slammed the afterburners fully on, then, Burner had the Q.R.A pilots on her channel saying, " We are 2 miles from your current position, hold on !" Her confidence grew a little after she heard the pilots on the radio but there was still not a lot of it in her.

The Flanker had cleared the gorge and Burner did a quarter loop right to put him off, then the Flanker pilot saw two blips on the radar, the pilot scarpered and banked left and wasn't seen again. The Q.R.A Typhoons escorted Burner home, there was so much sweat coming off her face, it was enough to fill an entire lake. Burner was coming in to land and nearly crashed after using her concentration on the Su-35. Burner went to the mess hall with Eclipse for a drink, then an officer came in, dressed up in his best uniform, went over to Burner and Eclipse gave them orders, " The C.O would like to see you his office A.S.A.P, we have a vehicle waiting outside to take you there."
The dashing officer escorted them to the car and the officer went back into the mess hall.

When they entered, Bullet Rider and Rupture had been dismissed and the C.O waited for Bullet rider and Rupture to leave before talking, " I've never ever seen a pony like you Burner no pony has manged to evade a Flanker in an aircraft like the Hawk, I see you don't even need to train in Hawk T.1's, so after one flight, I'm moving you two to 98 squadron where you will be against the big guns in F-15's you will go down in history books as no pony ever has transferred to this squadron after 1 flight. Briefing on your next mission is after the weekend, for now your off duty, congratulations!" Burner and Eclipse then said together in a calm attitude, " Thank you sir !" The C.O replied with, " Yeah whatever, go on get out of here, and I wish you luck!"
They both walked out with a salute.

Moving up a League

Burner felt proud about moving to 98 squadron, but there was still a dark fear embedded in her brain that if she ever encountered the pilot again, she would be killed in a burning fireball. She put this fear at the bottom and thought about her first mission briefing with her new squadron. Burner and Eclipse went out to play cricket with the other ponies assigned to 98 squadron.

20 minutes after playing cricket, it was mission briefing time and Burner had excitement clearly shown on her face as she wanted to know her first mission. "Right listen up, your task is to intercept bombers coming in from the Pliohippus sea, your task is to get them to break away before they threaten the dummy targets set up 10 miles inland."
Most of the ponies let out a sigh of displeasement. A colt shouted to the C.O, "Why the hell must we do this? We already know what to do, we just fly next to a bomber and make sure he turns away?"
The C.O replied with confidence knowing he would win this conversation, "well, what if it was a bomber with machine guns in the tail and you didn't plan or know about it? You would be shot to bit's as easy as shooting a target that's at point blank range! What if there was fighter cover and you didn't know they were there? You're screwed! You need to know these things to stop your ass getting kicked by the enemy, so you will go up without any more questions or I will make sure your an ace janitor. It's either cleaning toilets or completing your training so you can move to 195 ace fighting squadron, which do you choose?"
The pony felt obliterated by what the C.O said and his confidence had seeped out of his skin like water out of a colander.
The C.O then explained about the rules, "Right, the rules are you are not permitted to go over 30,000 feet and not to get within 150 feet in distance of the bomber, there is no fighter escort but the are machine guns in the tail and they are flying at an altitude of 20,000 feet. You will be split into pairs and there are 8 bombers to intercept, Burner, you are paired with Sonic Hammer, Whirlwind with Nimrod, Taurus with Valkyrie, Sovereign with Sky Drifter, Shadow with Sky Raider, Dark Ray with Death Rider, Mosquito with Doom and Pounder with Shadow. Now scramble to your jets!"

Burner and Eclipse made their way with their new colleagues (who were on their first mission with 98 squadron too) Sonic Hammer and Raptor. Sonic Hammer was a colt with jaws as wide as the mouth of an estuary, eyes that were as orange as fire and grey fur and a dark blue mane. Raptor was Sonic Hammer's female co-pilot who actually looked a lot like Rainbow Dash but had dark green fur and a lime mane. They made their way into their F-15d's and they took off. Burner felt proud of flying her dream aircraft (well sort of), the acceleration was more forceful and was more maneuverable.

Within 10 minutes, the target was in sight Burner ordered the Bomber pilot, "Bomber pilot, shut down your guns I repeat shut down your guns or you will be shot down. "
The Bomber pilot shut down the guns which were slowly making their way down. Burner then Ordered Sonic Hammer, "Keep me covered while I get close to the bomber.
Roger that Burner."
The even though the guns were shut down, the bomber pilot was still intent on reaching its target like pressing on regardless. Although Burner ended that, "Bomber pilot turn away from the coast, I repeat turn away from the coast."
The Bomber turned away from the coast. Burner looked at the Behemoth as it turned away with the sun engulfing it as it sets. Burner said in a calm soothing voice to the pilot, "Thank you for your co-operation."
Then A.T.C were directing Burner and Sonic Hammer to come home.

Burner and Sonic Hammer enjoyed the view of the sun starting to be engulfed by the Monstrously Gargantuan mountains up north, they wished they could look at the view for hours, but within 10 minutes they were ready to land and they were to land side by side with Sonic Hammer slightly in front. Then, rather subtly they gently touched down with hardly a bump, the roar had now turned into a quiet whistle. They were the first ones to arrive at base, the whistling F-15's were shut down, the cockpit canopies came up and Burner quietly muttered, "Good F-15!"
She Clambered out along with Eclipse and they Both gave their F-15 a good pat on the fuselage, they then walked over to Sonic Hammers F-15. Burner lifted her hoof in the air and Sonic Hammer Understood what she was doing and put his hoof in the air, they then touched hooves, Raptor and Eclipse did the same. Confidently, Sonic Hammer Congratulated Burner, "Great work out there Burner, well done!
Couldn't have done it without you Sonic Hammer."
When they put their hooves down the C.O clamber out of Land Rover and came straight over to Burner and Sonic Hammer, "Well done you four, Because the weekend is nearing I letting you four on leave, whereas the rest will be still on duty because they can't be bothered, so when I tell them, they're on duty all weekend, it will finally sink into their thick skulls that this is important. Anyway, well done on today, use the weekend wisely."
All four saluted and walked off, the C.O waiting for the inevitable.

The Four ponies stopped, turned around and looked at their sleeping F-15's with Raptor Implying, "Well their our F-15's, now loyal to
us, it sounds nice I think."
The other three ponies nodded in agreement and let out a little smile as they walked further away from their F-15's.
"So What will we do on leave then Burner?" Eclipse asked.
Burner replied with, "I don't know yet. you don't have to follow me if you don't want to you know either."
Strictly, Eclipse argued, "No I wan't to come with you, I want to know more about you."
Then Burner replied while she chuffed, "Alright alright, don't explode! Anyway, I think I've planned something, how about we go the mountains tomorrow and then visit Ponyville on Sunday, does that sound good?
Yeah that sounds good Burner, I will come along with you."

The Raid

Saturday brought a bright clear day to Northern Equestria, no clouds were in sight, Flame Flyer and Eclipse (real name being Sky Soarer) were climbing Equus mountain, the highest in Equestria with a height of 7,939 feet above sea level. Equus mountain was part of a group of mountains called the Merychippus Mountains. At the summit Flame Flyer and Sky Soarer enjoyed the view that surrounded them both, it took their breath away, all that could be heard was the tranquil howling wind. Then their peace was shattered with the passing by of an F-15d of 98 squadron re-doing that intercept mission. It screamed by the summit at 600 mph, then came another F-15, this time a corona enveloped the aircraft, indicating that it was going faster than the speed of sound, the awesome speed knocked Flame Flyer and Sky Soarer over like they were bowling pins hit by a bowling ball, the boom shook the ground like it was an earthquake, then there was the afterburners which looked like a pair of angry devil eyes as the F-15 zoomed into the distance, "Bloody hell that was forceful," Flame Flyer shouted as there was still a lot of noise coming from the angry afterburners.

Later that evening they checked in to a hotel in the Crystal empire which was on the outskirts of the city,the palace really showed it's vast size compared to all the other buildings that bowed down to it. This building makes the Burj Khalifa in Dubai look like a pen compared to it!

Meanwhile in the New Lunar Republic, two Tu-160 Blackjack bombers were being prepared in underground hangar and within minutes of being prepared, were making their way for take off, each Tu-160's pair of four engines made a roar so loud that it could be heard from more than 20 miles away, the reheat lighted up the sky like no other aircraft and after they both gone, they were destined for a raid. The Tu-160's were flying over the Pliohippus sea at 150 feet with their wing fully swept back, they were doing about 650 mph. The Tu-160's maintained their height so that the surface to air missiles did not lock on. When they passed the S.A.M sites, the Tu-160's broke off, one heading for Manehattan and the other for Crystal Airbase, home to Apache attack helicopters and EH 101 Merlin Transport Helicopters. The Tu-160 going for Manehattan swept its wings forward and climbed to 1,000 to start it's bombing run, panic started on the streets, and ponies were evacuating the city. Bombs started dropping on inner Manehattan. A lot of destruction was caused with three Skyscrapers falling into the streets and going through the ground like it was made of water several other skyscrapers were seriously damaged and on fire. Luckily no pony was killed, due to the evacuation. The Tu-160 put it's wings back to fully swept position and made it's way over the Pliohippus sea and went home.

The second Tu-160 got ready to start it's bombing run, Bombs were being dropped on Apaches and Merlin's, the Helicopters when hit were flipped over and part's were scattered over the airfield, the mission seemed a success, but a S.A.M locked onto the aircraft and hit it underneath the tail fin, which was then ripped off with some of the fuselage, but by chance, the Tu-160 flew into the control tower, killing the operators, on the ground, 17 crew were killed by shrapnel and helicopter part flying in all directions. The damage cost of the raid was estimated to be billions.

The raid was all over the news channels, all over the world. The President of Equestria had said this on the news, "Tonight, two Tu-160 Blackjack bombers attacked Manehattan and Crystal Air base, there have been 17 deaths only at the airbase, that is why, Equestria has declared war on the New Lunar Republic."

Flame Flyer had actually watched the Tu-160 attack the airbase in Horror, she sought for revenge, she put on an angry face through the window and then said to Sky Soarer, "Bastards are gonna pay for this."

The War

Next Day, Flame Flyer and Sky Soarer (Now reverting back to Burner and Eclipse) were to return to base for mission briefing, "Right today, you will be taking down the fighters at Nightmare airbase right in the corner of the the N.L.R, you are to take them down to protect the bombers while they take down the radar sites and the Tornado GR4's will take down the S.A.M sites, operations will start at 1600 hours. Now a word of warning. There is a pilot out there that is so legendary, that even our aces cannot take him down, he goes by the name, Virus. The morale of the pilots was shred like paper, their faces forced to be worried, terrified. This is the Pilot burner encountered a couple of weeks back, she was lucky. Be careful in the skies, he's waiting for that perfect moment to strike."
The wing commander then said, "Now lets get this war finished as fast as the one in ' 91!"
The pilots scrambled for their jets. All the aircraft at the base fired up, making the base seem alive, first, the Typhoons went up to protect the AWACS and Joint STARS, which were the next batch to take off, then the Tornadoes, then the F-15's, with Burner going sixth.

Fifteen minutes later Burner and her squadron were passing the 66th parallel, which divided the two countries. The demilitarized zone went on for a good 5 miles and the first town of the N.L.R is near the fence. The F-15's crossed the first town, which unknown to them, was defended by flak guns, as they learned when one of 24 strike eagles sent to destroy the runway, was ripped apart by a direct hit, with debris flying in all directions, all the F-15's broke apart from formation and dashed for the edge of town. One pilot on the radio said, "Well it can't get any worse than this!"

It got worse, even though they were out of date, especially for the N.L.R, MiG-23 Floggers belted out of the mountains, there was 8 of them and one went for Burner, "Shit we have one on our tail Burner, do evasive maneuvers now!
I know we have one on our tail Eclipse, hold on!"
Burner turned a hard left, "Be careful Burner he might do a yo-yo!
I know dammit, I'm going to set up a trap." Burner was still pulling a hard left, and saw that the flogger was doing an low yo-yo. Burner turned gently now and switched to her M-61, the MiG-23 was racing toward Burner, "Burner were going to get shot up!
Shut up Eclipse, 3...2...1, air brake!" The Flogger shot by Burner, who was now chasing it, "Firing gun!"
The MiG was gobbled up by the 20 mm rounds, the Flogger was engulfed by flames and falling out of the sky rapidly, "Wow what and outstanding piece of performing that was!
I would give you a bow if I could Eclipse!
This is Rapier, I have a bandit on my tail, requesting support!
Burner here, roger that! Lets switch to A.M.R.A.A.M's.
C'mon lock on dammit, yes lock on firing AIM-120!
Bandit down!
Thanks Burner, I would have been toast if it wasn't for you!
Any time pal!"

All but one MiG-23 was left and got onto their frequency, "MiG-23 pilot to F-15's I surrender, please, let me live.
Alright, this is Dark ray, what is your name?
Night shift.
Okay Night Shift, I will escort you back to Equestria, but first, deplete your ammo.
Right, here goes.
I've now depleted all my ammo.
Good, follow me then."

The F-15's went on with no trouble to their target the F-15E's started their strafe runs, with long lines on SU-27's and SU-30's.
The other F-15's watched the strafing run. It was raining at the airbase too with thick clouds making the base seem like an evil place to be.
Whole piles of Flankers were flipping upside down and exploding into small pieces.

Burner saw a hole in the cloud and there were three Flankers diving towards the F-15's with 6 R-73 missiles fired, one going for burner, the F-15 was screaming at them because of the missiles coming towards them, "Using Flares!"
The missile whisked past her. Unfortunately 2 F-15's were shot down and the other 3 F-15's that were locked on used flares.

"Burner, it is a pleasure to finally speak to you, I was impressed by your flying over Ponyville, now look at you, flying F-15's, who knows where you will be soon! Unfortunately for you that won't happen, for it's now time to kill you!
Not unless I kill you first!
I like your'e attitude! Anyway where are my manners, my names Virus!
I know your name is Virus you bastard!
Now that's not very nice is it? Hang on, what's this? An F-15 trying to kill me, I like this guys defiance!"
Virus performed a Kulbit maneuver over the F-15 and fired an R-77, it hit the F-15, making it plummet to the ground, in pieces.
"Now where was I? Oh yes I was just going to say, your'e not going back to Equestria, goodbye Burner!

He fired his last missile, another R-77 at Burner, she went at the missile head on, "Don't eject yet Eclipse! I can evade it!
Oh don't worry Burner it won't miss!"
She waited until the last second and rolled hard right, the missile skimmed the belly of the F-15, Virus was amazed.
"Impossible, well, at least I have my cannon to play with. Die!"
The two pilots went head on with Virus jamming the remaining missiles Burner had, Virus rolled and was descending so he could fire Burner was ascending and firing, Burner missed but Virus hit the F-15, Virus took down the Port engine of the F-15 and ripped apart a tail plane.

All of a sudden a new unfamiliar demon-like voice was heard on the radio, "Virus, return to base you need the fuel to get home
Of course Nightmare Moon!
Face it Burner, your'e just not good enough!"
The transmission from the enemy ended and Nightmare airbase was in ruins, and for the other two Flankers they were easily destroyed by Sidewinders.
"Eclipse are you okay? Eclipse respond, are you okay?
She turned to see if he was okay but she saw he was covered in 30 mm holes, "Nooooooooo!"
She was sobbing her eyes out with tears like waterfalls.

She got back to base, with her aircraft on fire, she lost concentration and crash landed, she opened the canopy, and watched the fire trucks come up to the burning aircraft, With her eyes still watery. Burner tried to pull out Eclipse, the fire crew tying to take her away form the wreckage, but she fought them and managed to drag out Eclipse, she gave the motionless, lifeless body out with his head pointing backwards and shaking as she moved, but the fire crew pulled her away but she refused to resist this time. She collapsed and fell to the ground.

Burner woke up at the base hospital, the next day, to find an unfamiliar face looming over her, she sat up and pulled the pony towards her. She started talking angrily, "What the Bloody hell do you want with me?
I was the pilot who surrendered yesterday I..... You had bloody well have a reason why you are here or I will beat the crap out of you right here, right now!" The pony was in shock and gave a massive gulp, then the commanding officer walked in, "That will not be necessary Burner let go of him!" Burner was furious and pushed him away, "Now listen to him Burner, he has something important to tell you.
Thank you sir, ahem now I have some info on Virus, where he is based at, where he refuels and when he scrambles. Okay he is based at midnight airbase, which is near the dark palace where Nightmare Moon lives. It is in the sector F8. Now he seems to scramble daily between 0900 and 1700 hours, although since the war started I have not seen him so he could possibly be scrambling before 0900 hours and past 1700 hours, he also refuels in the Lunar mountains a few miles north of Midnight airbase. That's really all I know, I don't know his weaknesses I have never done any combat practice with him.
Well there is only going to be one result, and Virus shall die no matter the cost, that bastard killed my friend so I must avenge him.
