The Aggressive Neighbor

Mattian-Bumsian Border [0600 Hours]

A lone JE-21 SkyEye flies by the border. It was not escorted, only because it was on the last leg of its patrol for any border patrolling fighters that Lame Bums might be sending.

The politicans in Raptior were paranoid about a Bumsian attack. The "agressive neighbor," as they oftenlly called the country, was always prepaired for a fight. Even as a company took over the entire nation, rumors went about that the company-nation may strike the Jewittist Republic for its "radical," in the Bumsian eye, views on anti-racism and pacifism. Also, not to doubt, that the host nation of the only competition with Bargain Basement which in fact is Truitt and Hughes Corporation and Stevenson Arms Company, both resting in Truitt herself.

The SkyEye, codenamed "Omniscience," was right on the border. With no weapons onboard and with a Jewittist Gaurd crew instead of the usual Aouren crew, even if it flew over the Bumsian territory, they had no right to shoot it down.

Constantly sending threats like "If you pass the border airspace, we will shoot" and "Dare to cross and the slaughter of Jewittism will come" were sent oftenly. Lame Bums was being known as the "corny nation of CEOs and warmongering idiots," by many comedy stations which protrayed actual news channels. There was even a COX show, which oftenly made fun of BOX reportings.

The crew was made of the usual elevan. Neither had a 9mm standerdized automatic "kricket" pistol which most pilots and crewmen were required to carry, and few knew how to even operate a firearm. Two pilots, five equippment engineers, three systems managers, and a single engine servicer.

They had just left "Safe Zone" of the Mattian East Borderland Air Network where there were runways and Aoure bases. They now were flying over baren unprotected and unsettled mountainous terrain. Their mission was to go from the Pakihli Airzone, about mid-border, and go all the way to the North Mattian-Bumsian border where they would meet the Mattian East Borderland Air Network's northern Mission.

The pilot, with the nickname "Elvis," was a Gaurd bomber and served in the late Somalian War. He piloted one of the five bombers to survive the threats of the rogue Bumsian missiles. He oftenly belived that the Bumsians wished for the end of the Republic there, but he was even more inspired to say this in public, where national security was oftenly thetend because Mattianese and Shirean citizens were afraid of falling to the Bumsian's proclaimed "unstoppible" army.

The crew was silent, working on their own tasks. Himself and his co-pilot, a trainned Cargo Freiht Bombardeer, looked out of their cockpits onto the terrain. He looked on his radar and noticed something odd. The border line was not right. He had planned for this section to be pretty straight-stretched, but the actual border in detail and being this close showed it to zig-zag and curve.

He had flown right into Bumsian airspace. "Wow, this ain't good. Everyone hold on." He said banking the aircraft at a 30 degree angle. He was used to Cockatiels, not SkyEyes. The SkyEye's Safety Management System alerted everyone that the wings were being over-stressed. "Damn it Elvis-" Began his co-pilot pulling against the bank to line back up the wings with the horizon. "We got no radar warnning, and hell, I bet yeah they can't even see us." He finished.

They lined back up and slowly applied the rudders to make a leveled turn back into the border. All of the crew was worried about the aircraft's actual performance now, as the wings were overstressed and probably were beyond in-flight repair. No one even watched as four red dots showed up on the Long-Range Radar Detection Suite's screen in the back of the fuselage.

Flying in a Truitti-learned pattern the fighters seemed to be going in mach speeds and started to slow. When they entered Admediate Radar Detection, it showed up on the cockpit screen. "What the Hell, who hasn't been watching the damn radars?" Exclaimmed the pilot as he sent a messege saying "This is Truitti AWACs Freiht Zero-Niner-October-One. We have suffered wing damage and are unable to manuver largely. Requesting guidance."

He tried to play off as a damaged AWACs alright, and although half of it was true, he had sensors. Nothing was said for a few minutes, and then a Missile In Air Warnning went into effect. The radars showed four missiles, one from each plane, flying in the direction of the SkyEye. "Please cancel missile engagement! We are unarmed!" He yelled over the line. They were about 16,700 feet in the air, but only about 3,400 feet above the terrain below.

The missiles kept comming, faster and faster. He and his co-pilot released chaft and flares, but to no availe. The missles continued. "You damn bullies think you can fly into our territory, well, we will not listen to you anymore! Damn Jewittists are too headstrong. Let your deaths be an example to the world." Yelled a pilot in some Afrikaan tense, which had to be a Bumsian Squadron Leader.

The missiles hit, all four. Two hit the rear epinage, raping the plane of its pitch controls. The plane now was dead as the other two hit the same engine, right on the left wing.

Elvis tried to take the SkyEye down easily on a flat rocky plain he saw, which he failed. The plane hit the plain right-on, bursting. The upper fuselage, the cockpit namely, was the only noticble piece of carnage.

Elvis looked around. His head was running and he heard yelling, moans, and burnning screechs of the sensors infront of him. Then a missile hit right behind him. The pilots in the air wanted the crew dead.

The missile hit, and if it was not for the reinforced cockpit door to prevent rogue crewmen from attacking the pilots, than he and his co-pilot would also be dead.

He layed there for at least an hour in silence. His co-pilot was alive and oftenly looked at eachother to ensure eachothers' life. "We need to call for help." Moaned the co-pilot.

Messege Sent to West African Protection Air Command (WAPAC)

Aouren Freiht Zero-Niner-October-One has been shot down over Bumsian airspace. We lost control of manuverability and bled into Bumsian airspace and was engaged. Our last noted possition was seven and a half nautical miles north north west of Tarfginwary, Mattia.

Requesting admediate search and rescue. It is myself, First Leutinet Markus Willington and Bombardeer Commander James Hendris. Pilots of the crew. I am unsure of any other survivers in the carnage. Hit by four missiles, trail of debris can probably been seen from air.

We are unarmed and have not even a reserve firearm.

[end messege transmission]

At hearing this, Tarfginwary, a noted Aouren Special Operations Base, was abuzz. Four HURST-5D Ghost Koda Stealth Attack Helicopters were deployed. Each having their single pilot and an Aouren onboard.

They sped across the mountains and past many caves. After thirty to forty five minutes of flgiht, they past what looked like half of a horizontal elevator from a large aircraft. The first of the trail.

After a few minutes, an other group of four took to flight.

The first group was a demolitions team, tasked to destroy the wreckage trail. The second would be the search and rescue.

War
It's nothing but a heartbreaker
War
Friend only to the undertaker
War is the enemy of all mankind
The thought of war blows my mind
Handed down from generation to generation
Induction destruction
Who wants to die

"Say, we blasted the shit out of those bastards, eh?"

"Hehehehee. Damn Jewittists. Those bastards stole my job, killed my parents, and my brother. I finally got 'em back."

"Excellent. That's what you get to do here. See why we have this job?"

"Hahahaha."

"Back to where I was. The king cannot move two squares in one move! You were checkmated!"

"No, I wasn't! Check the rulebook!"

"You bet sure as hell I did! You were checkmated!"

"No! I took your rook!"

"When we get back to base, that rook's going back on the board."

"You touch that rook and I'll spank you."

"Yeah, right!"

War
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again
War
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing

"Knight One to Knight Three, change your damn radio. That shit's bugging me." The plane codenamed Knight Three obliged, and changed the radio to something more exciting. There were five military radio stations located in the capital. Although it was nearly five hundred miles from the border, the stations blasted music with transmitters nearing a million watts each, and could be picked up easily in other countries.

Justice will be served
And the battle will rage
This big dog will fight
When you rattle his cage
And you'll be sorry that you messed with
The f.c. of l.b.
’cause we’ll put a boot in your ass
It’s the Bumsian way

"Aw, now that's much better. Keep it there."

"Hehehehe...."

"Say, shouldn't we tell those guys when we get back with our shift that we shot the shit out of some Jewittists?"

"Nah, it's just Jewittists. They won't mind."

"You sure. Wouldn't they get suspicious if half our missiles were gone?"

"Nah, that's why we got the funding increase."

"I'm still not sure. We should still report it."

"Nah. That's an order."

The planes continued on their patrol flight, seeing nothing really out of the ordinary. The occasional railgun battery, farmers working hard at the harvest, forests stretching for miles. They made a bank and began to return the way they came, heading back to base. About five minutes later...

"Knight Four to Knight One. Check your long range radar."

He checked the radar. Behind them were four red dots.

"Four bandits, Speed 1-5-0 knots, Course 2-6-5 degrees, Range fifty miles."

"It's those damn Jewittists again."

"Let's smoke 'em!"

"All right, chaps! Cut the chatter! Focus on the nearest duck!"

"Yeeeehaw!"

With that the patrol flight closed the range, speeding past mountains and caves at mach speed.

"Weapons Free! Fox two!"

Four more missiles flew from each plane, one for each helo. In the meantime this coded message was squeezed out back to the base.

Jewittists sighted along eastern border, five miles in. We are engaging.

OOC: i like your new siggy. If you did not beat me to it, I might have put it in mine instead.

IC:

Helo Group Wing One

The group of four were the first of two groups heading in. They were HURST-5D Ghost Kodas, stealth attack helicopters, and somehow had fighter jets comming right at them.

"Damn, they've spotted us! Must have some sort of a ground-based tracker." Reported the head Koda as it slowed. "Deploy the packages." Commanded the rear Koda, the lad of the group. "Alert the other Group Wing to head farther north, as not to be detected."

After confirmation, the four slowed and lowered altitude just slightly. They were already dangerously 100 feet from the surface, and were now hovering just two feet above the rocky and edgey terrain.

Four Aourens jumped out with their GISS suits activated. They ran admediately in a pattern around where they had dropped.

Three of the four Aourens were demolition experts, given the job to destroy the remnants of the AWACS that went down. The other was a rifleman.

They pulled out non-covered anti-aircraft man-portable launchers. TOWed and guided. They aimed into the distance, waiting.

The helicopters slowly continued on ther pre-set couse, which would bring the fighters right to the Aourens.

Missiles came screeming at them. They launched flare and chaft countermeasures and turnned as nickels with thier rudders.

All missiles missed, but one clipped the leading edge of the rudder of the lead Koda. "I'm hit, can't control, going for a hard landing."

The other group continued on, not even picking up the other Gourp Wing on their long-range radars. The cockpit was their mission, not the equippment that might have fell.

The demolitions awaited for the incomming fighters and locked on and firred. After firring, the group of four split. Two were to go investigate any downned fighters and the other two were to find the downned Koda.

Knight Squadron, 0705 hours.

"Sir, all missiles missed."

"Damn, they must be stealths. Will sidewinders work at this range?"

"We'll soon find out."

"Fox three!"

Four more missiles, sidewinders, flew at the choppers.

"Missiles in the air! 12 o'clock!"

"Evasive Maneuvers! Get out of here!"

The flight of four Keilers broke formation and went this way and that to avoid the missiles. They fired flares, and two missiles were fooled. The others were not so lucky. A missile slammed into the left fuel tank of Knight Three, sending the plane down in flames. Another hit Knight Two, which clipped off one of the rudders but otherwise failed to detonate. Knight Two burned west back to base at full possible speed.

"Bastards! It was a trap!"

Knight Four closed in on where the enemy missiles were first detected, and unloaded a single CBU-105. They were pretty sure that whatever the hell it was that fired the missiles, it wouldn't survive - or so they thought as the ground for fifty yards in all directions went up in smoke, flame, and debris.

"Knight One to Knight Three. Do you copy? Repeat, do you copy?"

"Yea, I read you! I've crashed behind the mountain! The beacon is on , but I dont ---- longer the batt---- --- -....."

Damn thought the squad leader. He lost one plane, another damaged, and a lot of missing munitions to account for. As the flight landed back at base, he was approached by the colonel.

"What was that?"

"Jewittists, sir. About five miles inside."

"Inside our territory?"

"Yes sir. We destroyed their first craft, but it was followed by four more. We engaged them and destroyed at least one of them. But then out of nowhere, missiles flew. One pilot's down at the coordinates 107-155. The other was damaged but made it out alive. Sir, I'd recommend sending out a search brigade to find that man. We can't let him fall into enemy hands, and this Jewittist threat must be destroyed."

"So it shall be."

A search brigade loaded up and moved out of the base. They headed into the mountains where the distress beacon was sighted. They had their infrared and thermal imaging systems on, as everyone knew about the GISS - having been passed through military intelligence. It had to be Aoure, no one else could have pulled it off, thought the colonel as he led the expedition to find the downed pilot, and kill or capture these Jewittists.

Sub-Munitions Strike Point

The sub-munitions from the bomb sent the two heading torwards the downed chopper into the air. When they recovered they noticed that one had a broken rib cage and was bleeding excesively in his right shoulder.

His partner put pressure on the wound and called in. "This Aoure Dawg Division, Shwartz speaking. We were attacked by some bomb and Jarvis is bleeding internally. Need admediate assistance. Known to have a friendly shot down, and two enemies also. Bound to have a resuce party on their way. Requesting GISS support."

"Denied." Said a stirn voice over his radio, which was fiberaudioly connected into his ear. "Area might have other fighters in airspace. We are sending in a convoy of two HAGLEV assault vehicles and a single Bradley.

The HAGLEVs are being retrofitted with GISS coverings for extraction."

Confirmed the voice, giving some relief to the two men.

Two of the choppers from Group Two headed in the direction of the downed fighters and droppd them off in about the same area as where the sub-munitions deployed.

They ran on foot with their GISS suits activated to the closest smoke stack.

Meanwhile, the team en route to the downnned chopper stayed put, knowing if the moved, their chances of losing the injured would be too great. The pilot would have to stay put until the convy arrived.

750 meters West of Sub-Munition Strike Point

The man codenamed Knight Three gazed at his surroundings. A few alarms were still lit, but for the most part they were dying down for want of energy from the dying battery. The dust was clearing. The plane had crashed hard in a shaded area just behind a mountain. He pulled out his Colt .45. He would need it.

Damn he thought. The Aoureans are on other other side of this mountain. He laboriously rolled a 100lb bomb which had somehow disconnected from the plane away, about 60 feet from the plane. He turned the manual arming switch on, and legged it so he was behind a large boulder. He had a plan for when the GISS guys came. He just hoped he was far away enough himself. In the meantime he pulled out a picture of his family: a wife and two young children. I must get back home...


Three Miles West

The convoy of vehicles rolled forward through the burning Iranian desert sun and heat. All the soldiers were on the lookout, this way and that, for anything suspicious. Just as it started to get boring and the soldiers started sweating big time, the first plume of smoke came into view as they rounded a corner. It was the remnants of the Sky-Eye.

"What the...."

"Forward! It's the Jewittists!"

The drivers of the vehicles put their foots down on the pedals and burned toward the downed plane.

Crash Site - "Knight Three"

Four Aourens walked in a diamond formation with their suits activated. They stepped lightly on the rocky surface of the mountain, as no to attact too much attention. They neared the tip of the mountain's edge. They knew what was around.

One Aouren said through his fiberaudio transmitter "Left goes left, right goes right. They have one pilot in these things, and he might be armed if alive. He can't shoot at both groups."

They split at once, not seeing eachother, bu barely haring their breaths and footsteps.

Two from the east came in on the pilot. They saw this odd object, like a bomb. They approachd it slowly, arms raised. The toher two watched boulders, rocks, and debris for any movement from the top of the mountain. Ther watchful eyes ready.

The first Aouren walkd up to the bomb very slowly, and looked it over. The other stayed about 20 meters back.

He kicked it. Mistake.

Group Two - en Route to AWACs

They had dropped their two Aourens prematurely as not to be detected by any search and rescue teams on their way.

The two Aourens slowly krep up to the AWAC's cockpit and yelled in Comminuklech "Respect?"

Only a true Trutiti would knwo what he ment. "Respect." Said a weak and pitiful voice in Comminuklech, as if he was a weakend parrot.

The two Aourens pushed through the cockpit's bullet-proof door and found two pilots. Both alive.

"Nice to see you guys' eyes open. Brought some toys for you all." Each Aouren pulled out an M89A2 Crickt Automatic Modified Handgun and four clips for it, added onto its already locked clip.

"I don't know how to use a gun." Said the co-pilot. One Aouren smiled as he turnned off his suit as to show himelf and said "Point and pull the trigger. Automatics don't need marksmanship."

They got the pilots out and looked them over. Mostly cuts and bruses. A roaring sound was heard outside. "The convoy this quickly?" Asked the lead Aouen as he looked outside and saw dust. He magnified his Automatic Next Generation Visual Aid System and saw a very distinctive german-design tank. An Ostkampfwagen IV.

The convoy was just reaching the outter rims of the debris from the AWACs, about 8 miles from the actual cockpit. The search and rescue from Lame Bums would be there first.

Crash Site - "Knight Three"

He watched as this indistinct figure moved closer and closer to the bomb. Then suddenly it blew up in a blinding flash as he ducked behind the boulder and the flame went over him. Immediately, before the smoke began to clear, he leaned around the boulder, searching for the enemy. He saw another indistinct figure, GISS probably he thought, and Bang! Bang! Bang! - he discharged three bullets from his Colt into the figure. He again ducked behind the boulder. In the distance he heard the rumble of vehicles. Two more minutes...Let me survive two more minutes...


Downed AWACs

The Humvees closed the range with the plane. As soon as people were seen and voices heard, the colonel took decisive action. One of the Ostkampfwagens unloaded a 90mm ETC shell on the cockpit from barely 500 meters away, engulfing the thing in flames and the boom was heard for miles around. A few of the Humvees sprayed the area with their .50cal machine guns, also hopefully killing the Jewittists. Amid the confusion, two dunebuggies ran past the burning wreck, enemy or not, headed for the downed pilot, threated by two more Aoureans.
