Col.John Arnold climbed into his personal F-22A Raptor, having secured his luggage in his drop tanks, he was going to see his friends, Emily and William from the Imperial Prep School he attended, hopefully this would impress them..

He took off, and headed towards UK2, setting his cruise to supercruise, an hour later..

John said on the radio "London Tower, this is Raptor One, carrying Col.John Arnold to see Prince William and Emily, requesting permission to land at London Field..." He had been to UK2 before, to William's wedding.. He set up everything for landing, gear down, flaps down and he was ready...

Prince Willium and Emily waited for him with there daughter,Princess Libby. Willium saw his friend waving at him. He and Emily came up to him and started talking and huging. Willium was so happy to see him again. "So how are you John".

Prince Willium and Emily waited for him with there daughter,Princess Libby. Willium saw his friend waving at him. He and Emily came up to him and started talking and huging. Willium was so happy to see him again. "So how are you John".

John climbed down from his F-22A Raptor and grinned and said "Well, very good, I've done, since I last saw you a decade ago, shot down 24 enemy fighters, defended my homeland, and now I am cracking down on enemy mercenaries that are based in my homeland. How've you been since Imperial Prep?" He shook William's hand and hugged Emily, and shook Libby's hand and he said "Well, I am back in UK2!, ah, so good to see you two again, I have fond memories of that school.."

What William would notice different, is that John's face looked war-torn and weary, same for his hands, and that John had a handlebar mustache grown, also he'd notice that John was no longer cocky about his chances in the Military, but more sure of himself. John had served in the infantry for 7-8 years before going into the air force, and he had served in the front lines, thus it took a toll on him, John shook himself from his thoughts and said grinning to William "I am not who I used to be, serving in the front lines, being shot at, forced me not to be so cocky about my chances, so, did you join the RAF yet?" John grinned as they walked along and smiled, glad to be relieved of his military duties for the week..

"Ah yes. I was shot down at the Falkland Islands a few months ago but that don't stop me from firing back. My plane is gone but when I recover I might go back or Emily might stop me from going".

Willium and Emily laughed and contiuned talking with John. Emily started first, "So how is your wife John. Have any children yet with her".

Willium and Emily laughed and contiuned talking with John. Emily started first, "So how is your wife John. Have any children yet with her".

John smiled and said "Alex is fine, I have one kid, luckily for me a daughter, not as much trouble as a son." He laughed and continued "I named her Nymphadora, like Tonks out of Harry Potter, but we call her "Tonks" for short. Ah yes, I was shot down quite recently, I was attempting to insert a squad into an communist compound, but my helicopter got hit by a RPG, and I had to avoid crashing, and I managed to land it safely, anyhoo, I got the Medal of Honor 4 months ago.., where should we go for lunch William, this is like Imperial Prep School days remember, remember when we smuggled Emily into the school?" At this last memory he laughed, and smiled at Emily and said "Ah yes, those guards scared the heck out of me, but I called his bluff.."

"That's a good name for your daughter but it is long." Willium gave a leaflet to John and showed Emily. 'This is where we are going for lunch". Willlium picked up Libby and started walking towards the car.

John smiled and said "Ah yes, that's a good place, I haven't been off of work for 2 weeks now.." He walked towards the car and said "I purchased a new Ferrari 308 GTB car last year for my personal car, it was a gift actually.."

"Ah that must be nice to see sometime". Willium, Emily,Libby and John got into the car and headed off towards Oxford restaurant for lunch and then fly to Willium and Emily's royal summer home for a few days.

As they drove to the restaurant, John looked thoughtful and said "Calizorinstan is about to go into another war, this time we have allies, the United Federation of Allied Nations, and our glorious New Prussian Empire allies, and the Global Unification of Socialist Nations, versus the the Corporate Alliance, which all of the above we are a member off. So, we've been having a major military buildup, more so then a year ago.."

"When's the war going to start my country can join in as well to help you". Willium was worried his country hadn't gone to war in five years now and wondered if they were able to do it again.
