Groom Lake, The US
4th October 2036
2100 Hours
It was a silent night in Groom Lake or what most people called Area 51 as people still believed that Aliens were being kept there. Inside the base, the landing strips were empty, lights were shined on every corner of the wall that protected the base, radars were spinning nonstop to catch hostile and unknown planes, and guards were everywhere to protect the base, it was the most protected base in the entire state. Inside the base were a lot of hangar bays, totalling over 20. Those facilities stored top secret weapons and aircraft for the United Earth Air Force to test without the public knowing. Inside hangar No.4 were an aircraft no one would have expected, an aircraft that would protect the United Earth Federation until its retirement, there lying the next successor to the Legendary B-21 Raider, the B-51 Aegis Falcon. It was the new 7th gen bomber in testing before production, manufactured by Northrop Grumman. General Wilhelm von Schwartzenfeld, head of the United Earth Air Force, admired its beauty and design, knowing that the money was worth spending into the bomber's development. He looked at the side and saw one of the engineers inspecting the aircraft.
"So, when will this bomber make its first flight?" General Schwartzenfeld asked one of the engineers.
"General, It is now ready for its first flight. We checked everything, including the hybrid engine, the oxygen tanks, and others and it is fine." The engineer replied back.
"I want it ready now. And where are the two pilots?" General Schwartzenfeld asked one of the captains who were there to inspect the aircraft.
"Sir, they are currently making their way here." The captain replied back
"I want the plane to test both air and space flight" General Schwartzenfeld replied back and after that, he went to the control room where they would analyse the aircraft information and performance.
After around five minutes of waiting, both pilots reached the hangar bay and made their way into the plane. Both pilots were former B-2 pilots who survived the war including the nuclear winter and now they were back in the air force. All of the engineers and the maintenance crews left the hangar bay for safety. Inside the B-51, one of the pilots started to activated the engine and after both levers were pulled, the engines started to come to life. The bomber made its way out of the hangar bay and reached the air strip No.2.
Inside the control room, General Schwartzenfeld explained the test to both pilots and after a few minutes of explaining, he told both pilots to take off. One of the pilots pulled both levers which control both engines to the maximum thrust and the engines started firing up. Only fifteen seconds after starting the engine, the bomber successfully took off due to the thrust to weight ratio of the aircraft. 5 minutes had passed and the bomber reached the altitude of 60,000 feet and reached the speed of Mach 7. Inside the control room, General Schwartzenfeld told both pilots that the bomber passed the air flight test and it was time to test the space capability. At this time, the bomber had already reached another time zone. The pilots guided the bomber to space and switched from scramjet engines to rocket engines. Everyone in the control room started to sweat as the bomber's temperature rose due to the bomber exiting the atmosphere and communicating with the pilots was getting harder. Over ten minutes after the switch, the bomber's speed exceeded mach 15 and reached an altitude of 350,000, thus officially reaching space. Everyone in the control room, including the General and both pilots started cheering as this was the second aircraft with capability to go to space beside the F-47A Raptor II. The pilots continued to conduct the test further to prove that it was truly space capable. After 15 minutes of being in space, General Schwartzenfeld ordered both pilots to return back to base immediately. After 15 minutes of waiting, the B-51 Aegis Falcon landed at Groom Lake and proved that the B-51 Aegis Falcon was space and air worthy.
General Wilhelm von Schwartzenfeld signed a contract with Northrop Grumman to mass produce 50 of the B-51 Aegis Falcon for the United Earth Air Force (UEAF).
Luminaris City, Eldoria Kingdom
5th October 2036
1100 Hours
Lt. Harries and all four of the sergeants including the kid were making their way to the academy to see what it looked like when the loud roar burst out on top of the city. Lt. Harries noticed it immediately and looked up to see 5 F/A-XX flying around the kingdom. He looked back at the city entrance when he saw a V-280 Valor landing in front of the entrance. The guards and mages who were protecting the gate were shocked with no words to say as they had never seen such things before.
"Should we attack it or what?" one of the guards asked the mage.
"We don't need to. It doesn't attack us so it is not hostile. And, what in the word is that? A bird made out of iron with blades that rotates on top?" The mage replied back.
The locals started to gather behind the gate to witness what was going on there. All five of them rushed to the entrance to see what was going on. Lt. Harries pushed through the crowd toward the landed helicopter. He reached the helicopter and the helicopter's hatch opened, 2 soldiers in advanced juggernaut suits, holding their machine guns came out and Admiral McClusky and a man came out of the helicopter. Lt.. Harries and his men gave the Admiral a salute immediately. The locals and the guards were confused as they had never seen the Admiral before and why all five men were respectful to the man.
"Admiral, may I ask you why you are here?" Lt. Harries asked Admiral McClusky.
"I am here to meet the ruler of Eldoria. Mr. Jake Mitchell will be the representative of the UEF." Admiral McClusky replied back and then made his way into the city. The guards asked him the reason he was here and he told the guards about his intention. The guards asked him the reason why he wanted to meet the queen and he replied back saying that he wanted to have a diplomatic connection with Eldoria. He introduced himself to the guards that he was a 4 stars Admiral of the United Earth Navy. The guards were confused as they had never heard about the UEN before and they thought that he were making things up. The guards were stopped by a man who had heard about the commotion and told Admiral McClusky to follow him to the tower if he wanted to meet Valoria. Admiral McClusky asked the man who he was and the man replied back saying that his name is Eldrin and he was the 2nd strongest mage in the kingdom. He said that Valoria knew him very well. Admiral McClusky was sceptical at first but reluctantly followed him. Admiral McClusky walked through the city with 2 juggernauts protecting him. Lt. Harries and four of his men followed too.
"So, this is Luminaris City, Eldrin?" Admiral McClusky asked Eldrin "I have never seen elves before, only heard in stories."
"I suppose your country doesn't have elf, huh?" Eldrin replied back and looked at Admiral McClusky "And also, how is that iron bird able to fly? Is that a new kind of magic?"
"Oh, no. This is not magic. It is just science that we humans from our country have been perfecting for almost 300 years now." Admiral McClusky replied back.
After hearing this, Eldrin went silent and they continued their way to the tower. Eventually, they reached the tower. The tower was high and Admiral McClusky almost broke his neck when he tried to find the top of the tower. Eldrin asked only Admiral McClusky and Mr. Mitchell to enter the tower. Admiral McClusky told the 2 juggernauts and the 5 soldiers to wait for him. Lt. Harries asked Eldrin if he could go with them to insure Admiral McClusky safety. Eldrin told him not to worry but reluctantly agreed to the request. After climbing the tower for some time, they reached the top and Valoria, ruler of Eldoria, was there, unsurprised as she already knew that they were about to be there. Admiral McClusky saw Valoria and he asked Lt. Harries and the juggernaut to stay where they were. He came up to her and respected her with a bow as he already knew that people would bow to her when they met her. Valoria told him that she would be pleased to have a diplomatic connection with Admiral McClusky's country, which was the United Earth Federation. She asked him to sit down at the table to discuss their diplomatic relations. He sat down at the table and asked Mr. Mitchell to give her the diplomatic treaty paper.
"So, your country is called United Earth Federation but I have never heard of it before." Valoria asked
"Our country was teleported here. We don't know the reason yet but you are the first country we contacted after the event." Admiral McClusky
"So, you wanted to build oil rigs under the sea around our land to extract resources. You also wanted to build a navy base and an air base here. But why? And what is an oil rig" Valoria asked Admiral McClusky after she read the diplomatic treaty.
"An oil rig is a structure in the sea and it is used to extract oil and natural gas. The reason we asked for permission is because 12 years ago, our country hadn't been united yet, so countries can claim water 200 kilometres from their coastline. We wanted to be fair with you. We will offer protection of your country back." Admiral McClusky replied back.
"Hmm, seems fair, but you haven't answered my question yet, why do you want to build bases here? " Valoria asked back.
"We saw that there are other new continents and we wanted to make sure that they don't get too close to our territory. And, are there any kingdoms that are currently under constant threat from other countries like your kingdom?" Admiral McClusky asked
She went up, grabbed a map from a bookshelf and spreaded it on the table. "I believe there are countries that are under constant threat.'' She replied and pointed at Sylvaran "This kingdom is called Sylvanran. It is under constant attack from Varyndor after the demon king was sealed." She continued "This is Angel Grove. It used to be big but Zyphoria attacked them last year and they lost most of their land."
"Thanks for the information. We appreciate this and we are officially an ally." Admiral McClusky stood up and gave Valoria a hand shake. Valoria, despite not understanding the move, still knew that she had to give a hand shake back.
2nd Division Carrier Strike Group
1 miles from Luminaris City's port
1200 Hours
CIC Room
"Continue monitoring the radar." Rear Admiral Grant said to the radar operator. He looked at the displays and the phone rang. He picked it up and it was Admiral McClusky. He told Rear Admiral Grant that he needed to send a V-280 Valor to pick him up in 30 minutes. Rear Admiral Grant complied with the order and he ordered a V-280 Valor to be ready in 20 minutes.
"Sir, we detected 8 bogeys, 200 nautical miles west from the city. Approximate arrival time is 35 minutes. " Radar Operator shouted
"Send the information to the fighter squadron now. Protect the strike group and the city from them." Rear Admiral Grant replied back.
F/A-XX Fighter Squadron
50 nautical miles west from the 2nd Division Carrier Strike Group
"Everyone, have you received the radar information from the carrier?" Striker 1, squadron leader, asked the rest of the squadron.
"We have received it. They are currently 130 nautical miles away from us." Striker 3 replied back.
"125 nautical miles away. Target locked! Waiting for permission to fire." Striker 4 talked to the radio.
"I repeat stand by. Any hostile act from them will be considered a threat only then you have permission to fire." Striker 1 told Striker 4 through the radio.
"This is Rear Admiral Grant. Valoria, the ruler of Eldoria, has requested us to intercept the dragon. I need you to intercept them now." Rear Admiral Grant spoke to them through the radio.
"Yes, sir." Striker 1 replied back "All right everyone, use the afterburner, increase your speed to Mach 2."
All five F/A-XX increased their speed toward the dragon squadron. After a few minutes of using the after burner, they had visual on the dragon squadron. But because the dragons were also fast, they went past the dragons
"Shit, I repeat, turn back now. The Dragons' approximate speed is 270 knots. Disable the afterburner. Decrease your speed to 300 knots." Striker 1 told all 4 other pilots and then he did a j-turn to go back. All other fighters did the j-turn and they eventually returned back to their formation. They met up with the dragon squadron and Striker 1 made a hand gesture, telling them to go back. The dragon's pilot didn't understand his gesture and one of the dragons suddenly breathed out what appeared to be a ball made with compressed air toward Striker 1 but due to Striker 1's quick reaction, he dodge the ball.
"Everyone, lock on the targets. Destroy all of them." Stiker 1 spoke through the radio.
All F/A-XX slowed down and got visual on the dragons' back.
"2 targets have been locked, missiles away, missiles away!." Striker 2 pushed the button on his control stick and two missiles were deployed from the internal bay, flying toward the two dragons. 8 missiles were fired from the 5 fighters and dragons tried to evade the missiles but weren't successful.
"I repeat, the mission is completed. Returning back to the carrier." Stiker spoke through the radio back to the carrier.
2nd Division Carrier Strike Group
Half a miles from Luminaris City's port
1300 Hours
After around 20 minutes, all 5 F/A-XX landed at the carrier. A V-280 Valor was sent to rescue the soldiers who survived the attack and two survived.
"Who are you? And what is this that I am in?" one of the soldiers who survived asked.
"You should be grateful that Rear Admiral Grant ordered the rescue of both of you. Both of you are now prisoners of war. Our fighter squadron tried to warn you not to enter Eldoria's airspace but instead you attack them." One of the rescuers replied back.
"What country are you?" the prisoner asked again
"We are the United Earth Federation. Our country was recently teleported here." The rescuer answered.
"What is that? A floating fortress?" The prisoner looked out the helicopter window and saw UEN Vanguard.
"You can call that but for us, it is like a floating air base." The rescuer replied back.
The helicopter landed and two soldiers were waiting there to escort the prisoner to the cells. Admiral McClusky had also just arrived at the carrier with Valoria coming too because the Pentagon wanted Admiral McClusky and Mr. Mitchell to visit Sylvanran and she also wanted to visit there too. Admiral McClusky went up to the soldiers and told both of them to treat the prisoner well. After this he went to the commander bridge and told Rear Admiral Grant to set course to Sylvanran. He spoke through the radio, telling the destroyers, battleship, cruiser, and submarine that they were now heading for Sylvanran.
