LTC "Mosquito"

In the altitude of 10 km from the ground, we flew further away from the base at a cruising speed of 500km/h.

Wilson: "How far is the A.O?"

Torres: "About 4000 km from here."

Wilson: "Well, ETA in about 8 hours and will arrive at 0800 hours at the border of demon's territory."

Torres: "Why don't you chat with Colonel Sobri here? I want to go to sleep. He is a bit of an introvert, though. Goodnight."

Sobri: "Torres, don't sleep yet! I need you."

Wilson: "Too late, Colonel, she has fallen asleep."

Sobri: "Too bad, then. General, what is your full name? I see that girl behind you has fallen asleep as well."

Wilson: "Wilson Galliard is my real name, what is yours?"

Sobri: "The same one as the one in the jet, the correct one is "Waskito" and not "Mosquito.""

Wilson: "Sobri Waskito Aji? How did you get the name "Mosquito"?"

Sobri: "Well, because I managed to evade an engagement from 30 Sukhoi's fighter jets. You know, just like how a mosquito avoids human's hands. Besides that, I also managed to land my jet with only one of its wings intact. My kill count is 105 for now."

Wilson: "Wow, that's a good one, Colonel."

Sobri: "Thanks, General. I will turn on the auto-pilot now."

Wilson: "Sure thing Colonel."

Sobri: "How long did you spend your time in military General?"

Wilson: "In this world? About one month, I think."

Sobri: "I see."

5 hours later

We continued our flight while my jet afterburners were turned off. The green screen in front of me showed me everything I need to see during the trip. Actually, I have taken off my flight helmet since I was pressurizing my cabin even more so I could breathe in without that flight helmet of mine.

"Sobri, I wish I could have something to drink right now," I said as I put a gesture like drinking from a bottle.

"Haha, You could always take it from your back, couldn't you?" he said to me.

"You're right," I said as I put back my flight helmet.

I put my right hand on the stick and my left hand on the throttle. I gave code for Sobri to move away from me. He moved his jet about two miles from me, then I put the afterburner on.

"Gradivus 1 Slash," I said as I fired the railgun to a random place then make a culbit turn.

"Wow, Wilson, are there any enemies?" She asked as I did a pugachev cobra.

"Yes there is, it is my thirst," I said as I rolled the plane back beside Gradivus 2.

"Why don't you tell me?" She said as she gave me a water bottle from behind.

"Thanks," I grabbed the water bottle from her hand and pressurized the cabin again.

I took off my flight helmet and put the water bottle in my mouth and chugged the water, and put the remains in a container behind Maria with her help.

"Have you leak yet?" I asked Maria.

"Shut up, Wilson, I want to go to sleep now," she said as she went back to sleep.

"Haha, goodnight, little princess," I said as I turned on the afterburner again.

1 hour later

"There are blips 500 km from here. Should we evade it, General?" Gradivus 2 said to me as I looked at the blipping radar showing 30 different targets, both in-ground and in the sky.

"We better evade it, turn on your afterburner. I don't want to take the chances," I said as I pushed the throttle to the max.

The ground radar showed that the terrain below us started to become lower, indicating that we would enter the ocean soon.

"I think it is safe now to lower our altitude," I said as I lowered my plane while maintaining the speed of Mach 3.1.

As I lowered the altitude, I could see the reflection of the sky on the ocean surface. Full of stars and with the reflection of the full moon.

"What a nice view, huh? Colonel?" I said to Gradivus 2.

"Yeah, we even not realize that we are traveling at the speed of 3000km/h now," Sobri said to me.

"Haha, your afterburner must be in its full output, isn't it?" I asked him.

"Not really, it's in 30 percent output of its maximal output," he said as the exhaust from his jet glows even brighter.

"Haha, wait for me," I pushed the throttle harder.

The wings of the strike wyvern were folded. The jet further slashes the open ocean. Splashes of water were splashing since we were flying very low.

"Colonel Sobri, what are we going to do in the demon's territory?" I asked her as I flew upside down and saw the open ocean.

"Well, Torres said that we need to do reconnaissance on Demon territory. They made a move by making a new demon king. General Meyer hopes that the demons aren't going to launch an offensive soon. Once we get there, we will decide what are we going to do," he explained the situation to me.

"Let's just say that he is going to be on the offensive side, what are we going to do," I asked him.

"Then the recon op will be changed into a search and destroy op," he said as he banks his plane to the right.

"Roger that, Sobri," I said as I followed his plane from behind.

Below us was the dark ocean. We took a longer route to avoid the things that were guarding in front of us. That longer route added about 2000 km to our journey, but that doesn't matter since we could use our afterburner.

"How far have we gone?" I asked Sobri.

"About a thousand kilo according to my HUD," I said to him.

"Have the person behind you awaken up yet?" Sobri asked me as he pointed one of his hands to Torres's direction.

"Nah, General Alexson hasn't woken up yet," I said as I pointed my index finger in her direction.

"Haha, the girls couldn't stay up late, could they? Well, General, I have to wake up Torres since I will be flying this plane when we are entering the demon territory," he said as he maneuvered his plane violently.

"Sure, I need a nap too. Although General Alexson can pilot the jet herself if she wants to, our jet has more advanced things, you know," I said as I flipped my plane upside down while pulling 9G maneuver.

Torres: "Sobri, What the hell?"

Sobri: "I just tried to wake you up. Your turn to pilot now."

Torres: "Roger, that, Colonel."

Maria woke up soon after that violent maneuver. She woke up, but without any saying, she just asked me one question, "Wilson, just follow the coordinate, right?"

I put my head comfortably and closed my eyes, "Yes, just follow the coordinate. Wake me up in the demon territory, ok?"

I closed my eyes as our jets flying across the open ocean.
