“They're attacking Japan! Ice wants to see us all right now, we're scrambling!” Merlin yells over the cacophony.

“Do we even have time for this shit?” You yell back, suddenly snapping to full awareness and snatching your flight suit, trying to struggle into it as you hop frantically after Merlin.

“They're only hitting the southern islands and the west coast!” She shouts. “Katya's talking with the fleet already, they're calling for air support while they make for the ocean, but Katsumi's asking Ice for help covering Tokyo!”

You manage to struggle into your flight suit before you hit the living room, where most of the Witches are already clustered around Ice and Katsumi. Ice is surrounded by the faint glow of magic, and, as she explains the situation, you can see it perfectly in your mind's eye. It's your first experience with her talent, and you've got to admit, it's kinda creepy.

2/3 (whoops)

“Ok, here's the deal. We've got confirmed attacks coming in from south of Nagasaki and from the north-northwest of Toyama. Even money it's the Chinese throwing in with the Soviets. No word yet on Korea.” Ice says, her voice strangely calm. “We've got two tasks here. First, we've got to cover the fleet until the Chicago and Antietam can bring their weapons and radars up and the Sara can start launching fighters. Second, Katsumi has asked, officially, for support over Tokyo proper. It's her fear that the attackers may be trying to draw air cover west and south, and leave the city relatively open for an attack from a source at sea. If they do that, it's going to take a beating. There's almost no antiair coverage, and only an understrength battalion of IJA troops scattered in there.”

She pauses, the control evident in her voice contrasting starkly with her indecision yesterday- and her behavior at Adak. We're back at war and there's no hiding it now, you think.

She looks at you. “Frank, I want you and the twins to take Katya and Rosalie out and cover the fleet. The rest of us will set up a CAP over Tokyo till the situation is under control. Understood?”

[] “Aye, Ma'am.”
[] “All due respect, we can cover the city better than we can the fleet. Let's switch tasks here.”

Good point, and even if the Soviets didn't GIVE any Vampires to the Chinese, that doesn't mean that the Soviets won't want their Vampires to take another swipe at Japan while the IJN and IJA are kept busy by the Chinese attack.

“Aye Ma'am.” you affirm, nodding once. “What do you want us to do when the fleet's got their own CAP up?”

Ice looks over at you. “Join up on us. Once the cruisers can bring their AEGIS suites online, the fleet's covered from just about anything on the surface or in the air anyway, and the sara's wing has new model tomcats. Japanese antisub aircraft are up, and there's a six six one in the area, so we're-”

She's cut off by a series of loud whuds and the sudden buzzsaw scream of multiple anti-aircraft guns opening up.

“Shit! They got here sooner than we thought. Don't worry about this place, the base force will cover it! Go go go!” She orders, taking off at a run for the hangar.

You struggle into your rescue vest at a dead run, Rosalie passing you by like the fucking roadrunner- you swear to god she yelled “beep bep” as she passed.

She'll deny it later, of course.

Your bird is, thankfully, fully armed- though you're unfamiliar with the missiles hanging from her wings, they look remarkably similar to sidewinders with an extra set of fins. The fact that each wing slings six of them on triple racks on the outer pair of hardpoints sits just fine with you, though. Your inboard hardpoints boast six more AMRAAM looking weapons- though painted in the characteristic blue of the IJNAF.

You scramble into the cockpit and begin your startup while the Japanese ground crew straps you in- thank god they had an APU hooked up. You hear Merlin hop into place behind you, the muted 'click' of her connecting to the intercom followed shortly by a burst of static as she gets your radios set to the local frequencies.

You've started rolling before your canopy drops, the chock blocks removed as soon as your first turbine started up. The hangar doors gape open, Merlin doing her sensor checks as you hit the canopy controls.

I'm on time for a Strikers '89 thread?

My body is ready.

Outside, the cold dawn is split by columns of smoke- some nearby- and streams of tracers lazily arching into the sky. For their part, the guys on the ground aren't giving your attackers an easy time of it- air traffic control is still directing the last few flights off the deck, while the base force's type 87 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns track low-flying attackers, keeping them well away from the runway and hangars.

Still, you feel very vulnerable as you line up, not even pausing to run up your engines before letting off the brakes. Your wyvern seems anxious to get into the fight as it leaps skyward, afterburner plumes trailing a good hundred plus feet behind it.

You're not first off the ground- that honor goes to Rosalie. There's a few IJNAF birds up here, including a pair of their Shinden II fighters, but you don't see any immediate threats, either.

The immediate airspace looks clear enough that you don't waste too much time worrying about the rest of the squadron as they scramble. Instead, you make make a broad turn to the south, noting that most of the fires nearby seem to be from the base- with a few points in the outlying suburbs originating from downed aircraft. Nearby, a few other colums crawl skyward from Iruma Airbase, but you can't tell the extent of the damage from here.

“Rosalie, form up on me. We'll get over the fleet right now, the twins and Katya can follow along when they get airborne.” You order, thanking god that you can actually see the port- and while it's hard to tell, yes, most of the fleet's ships are moving. Even the Saratoga herself is pulling away from the pier, her battlegroup momentarily enlarged by the presence of a few IJN combatants, most notably the IJN Ise- the Japanese answer to the Soviet Kirov battlecruisers.

Rosalie takes up the 'traditional' witch spot in a formation- alongside and perilously close to your canopy. You only spare her a glance- noticing the set of her features and the determined look in her eye. It's easy to forget she's got more years in than you do- not by much, but a few- and that French navy witches are renowned for being supremely defensive of their ships.

“Merlin, we need some eyes. Heat 'em up.” You order, keeping your own head swiveling as you do so. No high altitude tracks, nothing over Tokyo proper that you can see- looks like the west is still relatively secure.

The Twins and Katya join up just as Merlin starts feeding your sensor data to one of your large multifunction displays. The ships show up in stark display against the sea, your multiple sensors painting a composite picture Hollywood would be proud of.

“Warhound, Warhound. This is Mafia. Keep 'em off of us for ten minutes, and we'll be at the mouth of the harbor. Think you can do that?”

You bite back a scathing response at the tone in the man's voice when Merlin highlights several new thermal tracks out to sea.

“Missile launches, Frank.” she says. “Not many, though, and I don't see a source.”

I'm not sure it's so much that, compared to arm chair warriors who think it'll go exactly like in their video games.

Example: going for the key target while there's still escorts as the enemy will adjust and form a wall to block, resulted in an wasted effort and time not spent taking down other high-priority targets.

It doesn't help that some people are out to either splatter witches or be a goddamn glory hound.

With the Widow, no matter what happened, bounce was always the right choice. As long as you hit B to Bounce you won everything.

Ghost is doing a far better job with actual tactical decisions.

“Rosalie! Kataya! Get down there and don't let those vampires go. Sharptooth, stay up high with me.” Your pair of striker witches nod, rolling inverted and headed for the deck, their weapons up.

Witches actually excel at killing anti-ship and cruise missiles- it's one of the many reasons the navy still loves it's witches. While their value as spotters has decreased with the advent of radar and missiles, their value in defending the fleet has skyrocketed.

The two girls jet off below you- headed out to sea and what you hope will be a short and successful intercept.

“Mafia, we've got inbound vampires. I've sent my witches to intercept, but you might want to run up CWIS just in case.” You drawl over the radio, keeping a close eye on the MFD. The missile tracks- twenty of them- are racing to meet your witches, now highlit in blue.

“Got it Warhound. Be aware, we're tracking some inbound bogies at angels 30 from the northwest. No more than twelve, one-two.”

You frown. Northwest? And thirty thousand feet is damn high for missiles or witches, and any bomber would be screaming for the deck right about now. But where the hell could they have come from? The soviets only have the one carrier, and that's not supposed to be finished yet.

“Got it mafia,” you respond, flicking over to intercom. “Merlin, can you tell me anything?” You ask, twisting your fighter to a more northerly direction.

“Nothing yet. There's some kind of jamming there... I think they have a witch with them, but I can't tell.” She says over the intercom.

“Eight minutes, Warhound.” The officer back on the Chicago says.

As opposed to armchair warriors who think they're brilliant military tacticians? The setting clearly has both historical and cinematic elements, and magic on top of it.

Why the fuck was Chicago shutdown in the middle of hostile strike range?

[x] recall sparklies
They can hit the deck fast if more missiles are inbound, and we might need them upstairs.

[x] Keep the witches out to sea running a barrier patrol against more missiles. We'll get this group.

We wait until the fleet can get its proper AA and anti-missile defenses up. Who's to say the Reds don't have more hidden launchers waiting for an opening.

[x] Recall the witches after they intercept those missiles.

You consider leaving the girls out to sea- they'll make a fantastic barrier against antiship missiles- but if there's hostile witches up there, you'll probably need them.

“Mafia, I'm letting my witches run that intercept, but then I'm recalling them. My RIO's saying she thinks there's hostile sparkles up there.” You warn the fleet. The Chicago seems to be the lead ship of the group, at least when communicating with you.

“Understood Warhound. The Saratoga's launching witches, they can take up the BARCAP when yours leave.” the operator down on the sea says. “Seven minutes.”

“Merlin, any luck?” You ask, beginning a climb. Altitude doesn't count for much in a BVR fight, but every little bit helps.

“Nothing. They definitely have at least one witch with them though- she's jamming everything I have.” Merlin sounds almost distraught.

A heavily Russian accented woman's voice breaks across your radio right after.

“That is because you are weak little harlot. The butcher of the Bering sea is mine! You do not deserve to share the sky with him!”

[] “Who the hell is this? Clear this channel!”

[x] “Ain't no one calls Merlin a harlot and lives. Come get some.”

“No one calls Merlin a harlot and gets to keep breathing. Come get some, red!” You roar back, slamming your throttles wide open and feeling your fighter lurch in the sky as her experimental turbofans wail like dying suns, suddenly unleashed.

“My beloved shows his teeth!” The Russian answers back. “The rest of you, handle the small fry. The butcher is mine and mine alone.”

The formation ahead is of four aircraft- navalised flankers, it looks like- and one witch, her long black hair streaming behind her freely, a PP-19 already up and tracking your fighter.

“tch.” she chides, pulling the trigger and sending a stream of tracers across the sky at you, forcing you to roll over them. “My love has perhaps lost some of his edge? Spending too much time around loose women?”

“Frank, She's still tracking!” Merlin cries.

“Be quiet little whore! This fight is between two lovers! Do not pollute it's purity!”

[x] Into the clouds! We have sensors other than the Mk.I eyeball, she doesn't!

Insanity aside, she'd have a marked advantage down low, and if you remember what little you talked with other witches, fighting at altitude is harder for them- without supplemental oxygen and insulated flight suits they have to maintain a specific shield, draining them more quickly than a fight down low.

Of course, there's every possibility you're remembering that wrong, but hey. Worth a shot. You get the briefest glimpse of the twins ripping into her escorting fighters, their wyvern flashing as their magic flows through the magitech suite and into the fighter. The sea flankers scatter like chickens under a rocket powered hawk, their formation breaking apart in a desperate defensive effort.

“Tch.” Your unnamed assailant says, observing the same. “Do not worry, my darling. They do not matter. It is just you and I!”

“I-I can't find her, Frank. She's jamming everything.” Merlin says, her voice strained. “I... I'm useless again. I'm sorry”

You instinctively roll right, dodging a stream of tracers by inches, breaking into the sky above the clouds. Up here, pillars of white vapor crawl up several thousand feet above the layer below, creating an almost surreal forest.

While they won't stop you, they do block lines of sight, which might be useful.

“My love, this is beautiful. A fitting place for us, yes?” The soviet witch says, breaking into the clear well behind you. “You have chosen a good place for us to dance. But you cannot run, beloved. Come, show me the skill that made them begin calling you the butcher!”

You pull around a cloud pillar, hoping she'll try and cut you off by taking the shorter route around the front- and she doesn't disappoint, she's right where you thought she'd be.

Her sharp intake of breath is all that gives voice to her surprise as your 25mm rounds slam into her sheild.

“My love truly shows his claws! Ah, our children will make great heroes!” She says, her shields flashing with the impact as you sweep past, pivoting in place and bringing her own weapon up to return fire a split second too late as you disappear around the far side of a cloud again.
