Hours after when Neon Nimbus finished the meeting in the briefing room, all personnel were dismissed after she told them about a possible threat in Equestria. That meeting made everypony seemed nervous about anything happening in Equestria or even other places. But all they can do is try to stay strong and brave like they were trained as. They were paranoid, but mostly full of hope as high as the sky. Most of the Pegasi after the meeting were talking about what Neon Nimbus mentioned and talked about in the meeting about the possible threat. Instead of friendly conversations that usually they talk about, is now becoming serious and solicitous. They seem to be woken up by the situation right now.

HandyFlash went to Canterlot's Soda Cider Slider after the briefing, along with his squad. Rainbow Dash wanted to go for two reasons, to take the paranoia out, and second, she loves cider. Fluttershy wanted to hang out with her friends to make it feel like she was safe just like the rest of them. The whole squadron had a very bad feeling about this.

As soon as they went inside the Cider Slider cafe, they see they weren't the only ones who were in the E.R.A.F to arrive at the place. They saw Neon Nimbus and Cloud Dash inside. Neon Nimbus was just ordering some cider and apple deserts while Cloud Dash was sitting at a table with his hooves on the table, looking at his cider.

HandyFlash told his friends to just order what ever they want as they did. Rainbow Dash followed HandyFlash, who was heading to Cloud Dash. They were still wearing their uniform for the Air Force to remind them of the unit. Cloud Dash looked up when he heard hoof steps in front of him. He saw HandyFlash and Rainbow Dash standing there looking at him. He waved in welcome.

"Oh. You guys came here to? Same for me and Neon Nimbus. Just getting cider to get the stress out if the threat becomes serious. Are you guys here to do the same?" Cloud Dash asked with half-mooned eyes showing that he was staying calm. They both nodded and took a seat on Cloud Dash's table.

Rainbow Dash layer her head on her hoof tiredly. "You worried about Equestria? For me, I'm worried about this world. The Freezer Wind can attack anywhere." She said.

"It's Razor Whisk." HandyFlash corrected. "And she can have a good point."

Cloud Dash took a sip of his cider. "Yes. I just hope they won't attack Fillyppines, my homeland. I have a lot of family members there. To focus on the Air Force, I just drink Cider to calm myself down. I'm drinking mango cider right now. A fillypino favorite just like Equestria's is the Apple Cider. Makes me a little homesick but I'm sure I can handle it." he said and took another sip. He gave his 2nd and 3rd mugs to HandyFlash and Rainbow Dash.

Rainbow Dash took a sip. "Wow. More tangy on the first sip." she commented.

"Yeah. I agree." HandyFlash chuckled.

Neon Nimbus went to their table and sat down as well. The three of them saluted. "Ah. Look who also came here to take a breather." She smiled.

"Yes General. A lot is on our mind after that briefing." Rainbow Dash told her. She nodded.

"Don't worry. You weren't the only ones at least. But least those simulations in training helped you alot. Your test results were over outstanding than I thought." She said while looking at her computer watch.

"Ay. But I mostly got outstanding levels on Hovering vehicles more than Jet Aircraft. So don't really expect me to be a professional on jet aircraft." Cloud Dash payed his head on the table. "I'm so exhausted."

"How? That briefing only took ten minutes and you just had a long nap later." Rainbow Dash gave a sly smirk.

"I meant my head. I wouldn't say emotionally exhausted, but too much in my mind that makes me weak to think." He responded.

"Reminds me of my E.S.A.S years. My brother and I-…" Neon Nimbus stopped. She coldly put her forelegs on the table and looked down. Her eyes showed sadness as her forelegs shakes a bit. She bit her lip trying to hide the tears.

HandyFlash looked at her curiously. "General? Something wrong?" he asked gently.

Neon Nimbus stayed silent. She wasn't paying attention to what HandyFlash just asked. Instead, she was thinking about controlling herself to stop showing her sadness to the three pilots. She looked down more which made her mane block the sight of her eyes. Her mind was clouded with her past. Her hoof went in her bag and kept it in there just to look at something while her hoof was in there, trying not to show HandyFlash, Rainbow Dash and Cloud Dash. She was looking at a sapphire bracelet that was the perfect size of her hoof. French Script font writings on the bracelet said 'I love you little Sis. From, Hot Shot.'

"General Neon?" Rainbow Dash asked. Neon Nimbus finally snapped out of it and looked at them like nothing happened.

"Oh sorry. Anyway, what's wrong?" She gave a weak and fake smile.

"Uh. My question is, is there something wrong with you?" Rainbow Dash asked and gave a serious look.

Neon Nimbus sighed. "No. Everything is okay. There is nothing else wrong with me." she replied without showing a glance.

"Oo-kay…anyway, anything new that you all heard recently?" Rainbow Dash said, trying to change the subject.

"You all will be staying in Canterlot for a while just in case an emergency has been called. All your aircrafts is already in the hangar in New Canterlot's Air Force Base. As for the others that are in the Task Force X, their jet aircrafts are in Cloudsdale awaiting further orders from me." Neon Nimbus told her.

"Why only Arion Squadron jets here?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Hmph. I had a feeling you would go here just for the cider. So just in case, I brought your jets along." Neon Nimbus smirked. Rainbow Dash stared at her.

"Oh. Your a smart one." She chuckled.

"What? I keeping track with everypony in the E.R.A.F. Plus I found out you way beyond love cider from-…" Neon Nimbus was interrupted when her computer watch got an incoming call. She looked at her watch and saw who was calling her. It was Baltimare's Navy. She immediately responded. "General Neon Nimbus, State your alert."

"General, this is Captain Delta in the ERS Baltimare, we picked up reports of unidentified aircraft approaching east Baltimare. Unknown fast objects on radar are approaching Baltimare. They are 120 miles away at this time." A captain said.

"We acknowledge. We'll be sending quick reaction pilots to your location. We will try to intercept them but if they ignore us, they will be shot down." Neon Nimbus told the captain and shut off her watch. She looked at HandyFlash. "Colonel, get your squad in the air. Cloud Dash, you too."

"Yes General." They both said. Cloud Dash gave the clerk the number of bits for the cider and rushed outside to fly to Cloudsdale.

Rainbow Dash ran up to Fluttershy and the others, who just finished their cider. "Guys, we are being reported to Baltimare. Strange aircraft is approaching the east and we need to check it out." she told them. They all stared at her with a shocked expression on their face.

"R-R-Really? Danger already?" Fluttershy started to shake in fear.

"I'm sorry. But I'm afraid it's true. Come on, we need to head to the airfield now. Our planes are in Canterlot's hangars right now. Let's go." Rainbow Dash said as she dashed past the door into the airfield of Canterlot and saw HandyFlash with Neon Nimbus. The rest of them catched up and waited for them to say something.

"Alright pilots, now I know you're wondering what's happening. You guys are going to Baltimare along with Warrior and Eagle Squadron. They have been noted to take off already and I should say the same to you nine as well. Don't be nervous when you take off. It's just like the simulation you took. I'll be at the radio tower. I'll tell you when to go. Now get in your aircraft Arions." Neon Nimbus said as she flew up to the tower and put on her headset.

The Arion Squad members didn't hesitate and just went in their aircrafts. They noticed that their aircraft had their personalized color schemes, their cutie mark was on their helmets and headsets and also on the jet's wings as well. Soon after examining their aircrafts, they all sat down on their own jets and nervously put on their headset and half mask without a helmet.

(A/N: I'm making them wear half masks which are like regular pilot masks and visors except no helmet.)

HandyFlash turned on his radio channel and called his squad. "Arion, switch to channel 9." he said.

"Roger. I got good connection HandyFlash." Rainbow Dash said on the frequency. "How about all you?" she asked to the rest.

"Sounds good." Thunderlane said with a bit of enthusiasm in him.

"Connection fine." Blossomforth said.

"I-It's good." Fluttershy nervously said.

"All set." Dumbbell said.

"Ready for new orders." Flitter waited.

"Hey! I can hear you guys!" Derpy said excitingly.

"Yeah. No surprise Derpy." Cloudchaser chuckled jokingly.

"Neon Nimbus to Arion 1, you all set?" Neon Nimbus asked while at the tower looking at them.

"Hang on General. We need to check if these jets are ready." HandyFlash told her as he looked at his controls. "Arion 1 to all aircraft, initiate aircraft scan. We need to make sure these will work well when we reach the air."

"Roger Colonel. Scanning now." They all pushed a button on their controls as a force field appeared around them and showed a wave moving around on their aircraft. Luckily unicorn magic was also used for the aircraft which made things easier.

"Alright Arion Squad, my scans says your aircrafts are all set. You are all cleared for take off." Neon Nimbus told them.

The jet engines on their aircrafts started to warm up which made a loud noise of roaring. They all turned on their visors, readied their weapons and the throttle.

"Here we go Arion. The big blue sky is ours." HandyFlash said on the frequency. They all breathed calmly and awaited for the next move. They all started to move forward when they pushed the throttle which made the engines roar even louder. Fire came out of the engines and started pushing them more. Speed was increasing as their afterburners were making their speed up to 300 miles per hour. A few seconds later, their speed was now up to 900 miles per hour. Now was their chance to pull up which they did. The ground was not felt on the planes anymore. It just felt like you were hanging on a rope without touching the ground except going in high speed.

"Arion 1, take off successful. Gear up." Neon Nimbus called.

"Roger. Okay Arion, we're good. Gear up." HandyFlash ordered as they did as well.

They all looked at the view in amazement. They have never been flying this fast in a fighter aircraft before. It was more different because the wind wasn't blowing on your face which can make your mane block your eyes. Inside the jet, they didn't have that problem. Clouds went past them pretty quickly as they had a smooth flight.

"Woah. I can see Ponyville up here." Thunderlane commented while looking at Ponyville in the distance.

"I see you're already enjoying the view. Huh Thunderlane?" HandyFlash chuckled.

"What? Pilots like us have a good views of the sky." Thunderlane said.

"Yeah. Unless an enemy is behind you." Blossomforth rolled her eyes.

"Where?!" Fluttershy looked around shocked.

"Calm down Fluttershy. I was just joking around with Thunderlane here. We don't even see any enemies yet in the airspace." Blossomforth said. She didn't mean to shock Fluttershy like that.

"This visor looks pretty cool. Fancy technology." Flitter commented while looking at the visor.

"I know right? It's like a computer on your glasses and another one right in front of you." Cloudchaser talked about the HMD visor goggles on her and the HUD in front of her.

"Mine has cup holders in the bottom of the seat!" Derpy randomly said.

HandyFlash reacted when Derpy said that. "NO WAIT! Derpy, that's the eject trigger." he said.

Derpy froze her hoof in shock. "Oh. Sorry. I forgot that part of the simulation but don't worry. I know the rest." Derpy apologized with the embarrassment in her voice.

"Alright. All planes, ascend up to 5,000 ft. We're not the only ones going on this mission." HandyFlash ordered while pulling up to altitude. They all pulled up as well after HandyFlash reached the point.

Rainbow Dash looked at her HUD and saw that the speed was 1,324 miles per hour. That was her same exact speed of her dashing through mildly. She was nervous to accelerate the afterburners to see how fast it would go even more. But she had to stay in level with her team so she didn't interact with it.

Cloudchaser looked down and saw birds fly around a few meters below her. It was strange to see birds flying when your above them because she was used to seeing them soar while she was on the ground most of the time. She liked this kind of view. How much she wished to have a house at this height, but having one this high might be almost impossible by the unexpected turbulence and storm clouds.

Dumbbell remembered when Rainbow Dash did the sonic rainboom at Cloudsdale and wondered what it was like to be that fast. To do the sonic rainboom, Rainbow Dash had to break the sound barrier in order to proceed. Can she do it while on her plane?

ESM was on Blossomforth's plane. Her controls were more different on her panel, but it was understandable. She could tell her job was more important to keep her team and allies planes to be updated and improved. Good thing her plane had more defense than the others. She can keep them updated while dogfighting or striking.

In about a few seconds, they reached Cloudsdale and saw a few aircraft take off from the Cloudsdale Airfield. The aircrafts that just took off saw Arion squad and flew next to them. It was Cloud Dash, Lancaster, and some new pilots. They followed Arion squad to Baltimare.

"Warrior 1 to Arion, you all doing okay?" Cloud Dash asked while focusing on controlling his plane.

"We're all good. I see you bought some friends along." HandyFlash said looking at Lancaster's aircraft with the other new planes.

"We were ordered to help you Arion 1. Trust me, we will be worth it to help out." Lancaster said still following them.

HandyFlash was confused. "Really? Am I a important asset or something?" he asked. Neon Nimbus called on the channel.

"Yes. HandyFlash, I'm putting you in charge of this mission. You watch over your squad and the others then give orders what to do." Neon Nimbus told him.

"Why me? Can't it be somepony else?" He asked without whining.

"Your a more experienced pilot even before the Equestrian Royal Air Force was created. That's why I'm putting you in charge." She said. She knew HandyFlash was one of the experienced ones in fighter jet projects before.

HandyFlash stayed silent. But eventually responded. "Very well. What's our orders?" he asked.

"Captain Delta from the ERS Baltimare detected unknown possible threat aerial vehicles approaching East of Baltimare. Could be Razor Whisk and his UAVs but we have no IDs at this time. If possible, you can either intercept them to fall back or shoot them down if they are ignoring your warning. I'll send reinforcements if the battle gets to heavy like fireworks in the sky. Contact me if you reach your destination." Neon Nimbus sent the orders to Blossomforth which made the flights around her receive the objective and coordinates.

"Roger General. You can count on us." HandyFlash said.

"Let's do this pilots!" Rainbow Dash said as she hit the throttle of her afterburners which sent her aircraft going faster.

"Dash has got the right idea. Let's go!" HandyFlash also used his afterburners to catch up with Rainbow Dash. The whole flight did the same as well.

-(Baltimare, 5 minutes later.)-

'Dear General, I have a great feeling of what this mission you are letting your air force handle. For I am cautious for their actions. Could they succeed without a problem or anything? But I am glad that you chose the right pilots for this mission. Though I still have a bit of a apprehensive feeling about them, though your choices and rights are as shiny as the gem. You would show me the path for me to admire, as much as I'm happy, you shining as fire.'

"Ah. Welcome to Baltimare. This is actually my first time to be here." HandyFlash commented while looking out his seat.

"Hey Colonel, I see your enjoying the view as well." Thunderlane joked.

"Like what you said, pilots need a good view right?" HandyFlash chuckled.

"Good point."

"Anyway, General, we reached Baltimare. Beautiful view but not the time to relax." HandyFlash called on the channel.

"Roger Arion 1. Head east of the city. Captain Delta will contact you all as well and give you a sit rep." Neon Nimbus told them.

"Arion Acknowledges. Approaching the sea of the city. Captain Delta, this is Arion 1, part of the E.R.A.F that was sent here to assist. We believe you know about what's going on here." HandyFlash contacted Delta.

Delta responded. "This is Captain Delta, good to see you all in the sky. Anyway, we have a possible threat about unknown aerial flyers coming from the east. Can you assist?" Delta asked.

"That's what we're here for sir. Awaiting the coordinates." Rainbow Dash said.

"Just straight east of here. Check your radars just in case because the only thing you'll see is part of the mainland and sea. I wish you all good luck. I will keep you all updated." Delta hung up and reported to the radars.

HandyFlash turned his aircrafts slightly left and went straight to the sea. The whole squads followed him because he was selected as leading the squadron flights in this mission. He didn't expect it, but it was his job to watch the flights.

"Arion, Warrior and Eagle flight, check your weapons and everything. Activate shields and scan your hull integrity in your aircraft." HandyFlash ordered every pilots as they activated their shields. Yet again, unicorn magic that was given in the planes helped a lot.

"This is Arion 3, everything checks out. Just…waiting for you all." Fluttershy said on the channel.

The three squadrons confirmed that everything was all set. Blossomforth was in charge of the electronic warfare support measures for her squad. So she decided to activate it at this moment. They'll never know if the enemy comes unexpectedly like turbulence.

Neon Nimbus called as soon as they were set. "Neon Nimbus to all planes, I'm detecting the unknown flight just in front of you. Be ready for anything. If they listen to your orders to fall back, don't engage. If they don't, take them all down." she said.

"So these are computer controlled planes we're dealing with?" Dumbbell asked.

"They can take orders too ya know." Rainbow Dash said to him.

"All right. Arion 1 to all flights, decrease speed to eight hundred and prepare for possible combat. Surround them and let me do the talking. Do not engage unless I give the order to." HandyFlash updated them and flew behind the unknown flight. The other planes did as well. Arion squad was behind the unknown fighters, Eagle squad was on the left and Warrior squad was on the right.

"Eagle 1 here, In position and awaiting new orders." Lancaster said while looking at his squadron.

"Warrior 1, standing by." Cloud Dash said.

"Attention to all unidentified aircraft approaching at bearing zero-four-two, this is Colonel HandyFlash, leading the flights surrounding your group. You are approaching East Baltimare without any permission or stating your intentions. You will be considered hostile if you do not turn back to your direction where you came from. Descend to one-thousand meters and turn your courses to the opposite way or you will be shot down." HandyFlash gave one warning to the unknown visitors. The unknown group of aircraft just kept going forward.

"They ain't talking or doing it Colonel." Cloud Dash said.

"All unknown aircrafts this is your final warning. Descend to one-thousand meters and fall back or be shot down without hesitation." HandyFlash warned one last time, gripping his trigger of magic cannons on his aircraft.

"All units, this is Eagle 3, I got an enemy lock on! Evading!" Ace said while pulling up and dropping flares.

"Arion 1 to flight, you are clear to engage all enemy aircraft! Don't let them reach Baltimare!" HandyFlash fired cannons at the enemy UAV flight.

"Hah! Their destination will be below the sea!" Thunderlane said and break left to one of the unknown fighters and fired.

"Neon Nimbus, send in Raptor squadron. We might expect reinforcements from these things." HandyFlash said while chasing down an enemy UAV.

"I was thinking the same thing. They're on route right now. ETA three minutes." Neon Nimbus said.

HandyFlash was staying on a UAV that was trying to evade him, but it wasn't working. HandyFlash fired a magic missile at the UAV which made it shred to pieces.

"Splash one." HandyFlash said.

Rainbow Dash was being chased by one. She did barrel roles, loops and twists which confused the UAV. She used her afterburners to pick up the speed as the UAV followed her. Unexpectedly, she decreased her speed which made her plane face up and stop for a few seconds and balanced back. She was now on its tail because the UAV kept going. Cobra Maneuver.

"Gotcha!" Rainbow Dash got a positive lock on and fired a missile and rolled up the cannons. The UAV was destroyed. "Hah! Target destroyed!"

Another UAV was approaching Rainbow Dash in front of her. It fired a missile, but the missile was destroyed by machine cannon fire and the UAV was shot down by a missile. Rainbow Dash looked at the plane that did that for her. It was Fluttershy.

"Woah! Fluttershy, that was amazing!" Rainbow Dash yelled proudly.

"Uhm…Thank you." Fluttershy said.

"This is Warrior 1, more UAVs are approaching North East. Possible fifteen of them." Cloud Dash said and aimed his plane at the incoming aircraft. "Fox 3!" he yelled and fired five multiple magic missiles. Two missed, but three were shot down. "Triple splash right there." he said.

"Let's see how many can we destroy." Rainbow Dash's plane starting breaking right where the planes were. "Get your colors ready pilots."

"Arion 5 to all planes, your weapons are now enchanted. Let's start the fun." Blossomforth hit the throttle and started moving towards the enemy while firing machine cannons.

"This is Eagle 1, we'll deal with the fighters in this stage. You shoot down the reinforcers." Lancaster said while chasing down one enemy.

Flitter corrected her visor. "Roger. HandyFlash, when are the others here?" she asked.

"I don't know. Probably a bit delayed." he replied.

"You called us? Thought you might need some help." Another voice said on the same channel.

Cloud Dash recognized that voice. "Ah. Dimitri, where were you? You were missing all the fun."

"I was just making sure my kicks can hold. I bought my squad along with me." Dimitri said while looking at his three other squad members.

Flitter looked at Dimitri's group. She noticed more aircraft showed up from behind them as well. "Who else did you bring?" she asked.

"Oh yes. General Neon Nimbus told me to bring more pilots along. By the way, the others I brung along with is not in the Task Force X. So go easy on them." Dimitri said. "Daniel, Kira, Kelly, take out the enemy UAVs." he ordered.

"Roger." They said as the four of them headed out to help Lancaster's squadron.

"Arion 6 to new comers, welcome to battle. Introduce yourselves." Derpy said politely.

"Black Moon 1 here, names Eclipse Moon. Nice to meet Task Force X operatives out here." Eclipse Moon introduced himself.

"Thermal 1 here, my names FireBlaze. Former E.R.G operative. At your service pilots." FireBlaze said. "By the way, the one next to me is Ghost 1. His name is literally Unknown. Yes, his name is Unknown." he said about the silent pilot.

"Astroid 1 here, Firebolt. What did we miss?" Firebolt asked while looking at all Arion, Eagle and Warrior squad engaging enemy UAVs.

"Nothing much. Enjoy shooting down those enemies in radar." Thunderlane said while shooting down three enemies.

"Good luck pilots." Cloudchaser cheered them.

"I forgot to tell you, we have an AWACS in the air above you. His names Meteor, callsign Aurora." Eclipse Moon remembered.

"All flights, this is Aurora, I'll warn you all if any enemies are approaching anywhere. My friend Ash is up here as well to help activate repair mode if your aircraft is damaged. His callsign is Hammer." Meteor said on the channel.

"Report up here for resupply or repair pilots." Ash said in a second plane next to Meteor's.

Minutes have passed as the air battle kept going. Arion squadron gave some tips to the non-Task Force X pilots. They were pretty good for their first battle. But later, it might get more challenging. Each pilot of all squads got about five UAVs shot down average. The skies were clear then Delta called in.

"Captain Delta here, looks like you pilots stopped the rest of them. Thank you very much." Delta thanked all of them.

"This is Raptor 1, request permission to go back to the airbase." Dimitri requested. His fuel was low and so was his weaponry.

Neon Nimbus called. "Request accepted. All pilots low on fuel are good to return to base." She said.

Meteor was still in the air, looking at the radar. He was almost asleep until he heard a beep on the sounds. On his radar, an aircraft was heading towards the group.

"All pilots on this net, we seem to have something on radar." Meteor told them.

"Another UAV?" Ash asked while looking around.

"Negative. That's weird. It says somepony is in that thing." Meteor mentioned about the unknown plane.

Eclipse Moon looked on his left and saw an aircraft heading at them. It didn't look like a UAV. It looked like a pilot seated plane. He called the others.

"This is Black Moon 1, I see what Meteor means. Look on the left of us." Eclipse Moon kept staring at the plane that was pretty far away from them.

"This is Arion 1, I'll send my squad to check it out." HandyFlash said and break left to the aircraft along with his squad.

"Yeah. Who knows? It can be a late friendly or something." Dumbbell thought about it.

"I have a bad feeling about this." Flitter commented.

"Well take it out off your chest." Daniel rolled his eyes.

"Daniel, don't stress out the pilots. Understood?" Kelly said to him.

"Very well."

Arion squad was getting closer to the unknown aircraft. As soon as they reached it, they took a good look at it. It was a black and gray aircraft with a pilot seat. At first they thought it was a friendly who was sent there to help out. They tried communicating on the channel, but the pilot didn't respond. They scanned the plane again. The plane didn't look like it was in the E.R.A.F because HandyFlash knew that his father did not create that type of plane.

In the blink of an eye, the black and gray aircraft quickly pulled up and looped behind them. It fired it's missiles at all of them at once. But luckily they all evaded successfully.

"Woah woah woah woah woah! That was too close." Cloudchaser sighed in relief.

"Who is this guy?" Thunderlane curiously asked about the attacker.

"I don't know. But he doesn't look friendly." Fluttershy said with her nervousness showing in her voice.

The unknown plane fired its machine cannons at all of them. All of them lost 12% of their shields but are still good to go.

"Well, look what we have here. It's nice to meet some members of this E.R.A.F unit." The unknown pilot said. It was a male voice.

Neon Nimbus recognized that voice. It was…"Razor Whisk, about time you came out the trash." She rolled her eyes.

"I remember when the last time saw me. I was with your older brother. Maybe I should have-…" Razor Whisk was interrupted when HandyFlash and Rainbow Dash hit his plane with two missiles. "So that's how you all want to fight. Very well. It's your funeral." Razor Whisk did a cobra flip maneuver and fired his cannons back at the two Arion pilots. Minor damage was given when that happened.

"Your going down!" Blossomforth yelled and stayed on Razor Whisk's tail.

"Stay on him! Stay on him!" Flitter followed next to Blossomforth and tried aiming at Razor Whisk's plane, but flares kept dropping out.

Arion 7 here, I'm on top of him." Dumbbell said while following his trail.

HandyFlash stayed on the side of Razor Whisk's plane as he was trying to evade his squad. Razor Whisk was heading to Baltimare and sped up ahead and cleanly went passed the other squads without hitting or scratching them. HandyFlash was about to hit Cloud Dash.

"CLOUD DASH! BREAK RIGHT! BREAK RIGHT!" He yelled as they both turned the opposite way. Their planes almost collided.

"Woah! Very close call. Warrior 1 and Arion 1, you both okay?" Firebolt asked while looking at their planes.

"We're good." Cloud Dash said.

"Same here." HandyFlash added.

"That was insane." FireBlaze commented.

"Sir, That aircraft is heading in the city. Hurry!" Eclipse Moon pointed out that Arion Squadron was still chasing down Razor Whisk.

HandyFlash sped up to Razor Whisk and stayed on the side of him. His eyes widened when Razor Whisk was now going through Baltimare buildings without hitting a single building. HandyFlash and the others couldn't break left or right or ascend or pull down. They had to go through.

"I don't like this!" Rainbow Dash yelled as she was evading the buildings.

Fluttershy saw a building in front of her. She turned left and saw another one and breaked right this time. She ascended in a necessary spot as the others did as well. They looked around the area for Razor Whisk, but he wasn't seen. It almost looked like he disappeared and thin air. After what they went through, you evading the inside buildings. They don't know how he would disappear. They looked around in the air and saw no smoke the city. So that means he didn't crash.

"Arion 2 to Capt. Delta, do you have visual Razor Whisk? We lost him." Rainbow Dash asked.

"Negative. I'm looking at all radars. Nothing." Delta said.

A voice was heard in their channel. It was Razor Whisk. "Your pilot skills are not tough enough to get me shot down. Face it, I will have my will pilots." Razor Whisk said and hung up. He was now nowhere to be found.

"Fudge Nuggets…You all okay?" Neon Nimbus asked.

"We're good. But we're low on fuel." HandyFlash responded.

"Roger. Your clear to return back. They won't be back." Neon Nimbus said coldly.

"General? Why was he talking about…your brother he said?" Fluttershy asked kindly, hoping it won't effect her.

"I-…Nothing...just return to base." She lied. She didn't want to get a conversation about her brother. It hurts her.

"Roger. Good work everypony. Let's head back."

"The finest Ciders for you all." Cloud Dash laughed.

All squads turned back to Cloudsdale airbase while some headed to Canterlot Air Base. The first battle worked out pretty well. But they only have two questions. Where is Razor Whisk? And Who is Neon Nimbus's brother and why does she not want to talk about it?

'Dear AI, my orders worked out pretty well. But I also feel your paranoia about what will happen next. I just hope Arion Squadron is not curious about my life. Because they heard about my brother. Although I need to show them if they are trustworthy enough. Let's just await what happens next AI.
