Delernil 952 February 12, 2014 Author Share February 12, 2014 "In all me years in the Army sir," Golden Age responded, "Never have I seen a recon mission prove to be what it was intended to be. There's always some bastard, be it us or them, who gets in the way and creates a conflict. Fate is never kind to the ignorant" ((I keep imagining a tiny B-17 for some reason XP)) (I keep having flashbacks to that film Memphis Belle. I just imagine you as the tail gunner ) Night Comb nodded. 'Went on a recon mission with two other planes. One shot down and one barely made it back to base. Ours had bullet holes all over it.' He added as he flew the plane. It remained steady and he did some quick math. 'We should be there in about an hour, if I'm correct. Anybody great at math, or have some paper?' He asked as he did the math again. ------------ Traveller remained silent as he scanned the sky for enemies. He saw a group of 4 black dots in the distance. He called them out over the comms. 'Four possible planes, 2 O'clock position.' I only love you platonically. As in plate tectonics. As in two bodies sliding against each other. <3 -Makusu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longgone 873 February 12, 2014 Share February 12, 2014 "Bloody..." Golden Age muttered. If they proved to be the foe, he imagined his words were cursed.He left his position and went up to the cockpit. With a small pin. He pulled a piece of paper out of his breast pocket and handed it to him. "Here ye are, sir" he said with a grin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longgone 873 February 12, 2014 Share February 12, 2014 Golden Age obeyed and walked as quickly as he could back to his position. He placed his hooves on the gun and readied it, preparing himself to prime it at a moment's notice. He hoped to god they were friendly. He hoped they were just a fighter escort. Four was not a lot to deal with, but he couldn't remove his anxiety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delernil 952 February 12, 2014 Author Share February 12, 2014 Night Comb quickly grabbed the piece of paper and put it away. It could wait. 'Traveller, what do you have?' He asked over the comms. ------------ Traveller frowned and loaded his guns. 'Definitely hostile. They just climbed, they think we haven't seen them yet. They're going to pounce.' He said with worry. I only love you platonically. As in plate tectonics. As in two bodies sliding against each other. <3 -Makusu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuclear Neurotic 56 February 12, 2014 Share February 12, 2014 Traveller remained silent as he scanned the sky for enemies. He saw a group of 4 black dots in the distance. He called them out over the comms. 'Four possible planes, 2 O'clock position.' "Alrighty!" Nuclear replied, saluting before sitting in her spot. 'This is pretty nice. Though it's weird being in the air and not being a pegasus.' she mused, looking out of her station. She narrowed her eyes watching the sky's horizon. 'Hmm..." she thought. 'Hope they are friendlies...' http://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/corporate-crime-r5482 http://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/nuclear-neurotic-r3593 http://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/euphoric-euthanasia-r5033 (Sig made by Lugia) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delernil 952 February 13, 2014 Author Share February 13, 2014 Night Comb checked over the instruments. 'We can't evade. Stay on course. Traveller, Golden! Get ready to shoot.' He said with a frustrated sigh. If they were hit somewhere critical, they'd be bailing out over griffon territory that was miles behind the front line. ---------------- 'I can't tell...they're extremely fast though.' Traveller answered as he loaded his guns and took aim. They would dive down and attack, then disappear before trying again. Traveller would try to get as many hits as possible before then.

Nuclear Neurotic 56 February 13, 2014 Share February 13, 2014 Nuclear bit her lip nervously, She was expecting a fight, but now that it was actually happening she was a little frightened. 'Oh Celestia..' she thought, furrowing her brow as her yellow eyes watched the suspicious aircraft. The gray mare breathed slowly, her hooves hovering over her controls in case of a confrontation. http://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/corporate-crime-r5482 http://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/nuclear-neurotic-r3593 http://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/euphoric-euthanasia-r5033 (Sig made by Lugia) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delernil 952 February 13, 2014 Author Share February 13, 2014 Night Comb breathed slowly. He had rarely flown against fighters. All of them had been concentrated far south of where he was based. He tensed up as he realized they were nearly there. 'Ok, Nuclear. Get ready to photograph but keep your hooves near your gun.' He ordered. 'Traveller, anything?' ---------------- Travelled gulped. The black dots were getting bigger again. 'Theyre here.' He said flatly S he aimed his machine gun and waited for them to come into range. I only love you platonically. As in plate tectonics.

longgone 873 February 14, 2014 Share February 14, 2014 Golden Age felt his heart skip a beat. "You said 2 o' clock, aye? It's a bloody tail gun, not a turret!"Despite this, he primed his weapon. And aimed it as far left as it would go. Hoping to catch them if they chose to swing by the rear after their pass. He didn't know the science of bullet compensation, so he hoped and prayed he had tracer rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delernil 952 February 14, 2014 Author Share February 14, 2014 Night Comb steadied the plane. He couldn't look anywhere but forward. He focused on flying. ----------- Traveller aimed the guns at the second plane coming around. He fired them, and red streaks went across the sky. Tracers. He held down the button but they were too fast. The planes swung around again and fired. Bullets ripped into the section between the tail and Traveller. 'Shit!' He cursed as they climbed and he fired again. This time he hit home on the third plane. It burst into flames, leaving three left. I only love you platonically. As in plate tectonics. As in two bodies sliding against each other. <3 -Makusu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longgone 873 February 14, 2014 Share February 14, 2014 Golden Age flinched as he heard an felt the bullets rip through the plan a few feet behind him. He caught one coming around the rear. Golden Age fired as the plane rolled into a dive an in attempt to get under its prey. Golden Aged managed to hit the belly as it rolled which resulted in it bursting into flames before him.

Delernil 952 February 14, 2014 Author Share February 14, 2014 'They must be having the same problem. Inexperienced pilots.' Night Comb mused as he watched the kill go down. He knew the plane had been damaged when the fuel gauge read '0' to one of the tanks rigged in the back. 'Damn.' He said, tapping the gauge. The fuel tanks they had created were likely damaged. --------------- Travelled fired his gun once more. Another took a shot to the fuselage. It continued unhurt until he realized the hydraulics must have been hit. The pilot couldn't move his plane. He let out a sigh. 'One left.' I only love you platonically. As in plate tectonics. As in two bodies sliding against each other. <3 -Makusu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longgone 873 February 14, 2014 Share February 14, 2014 Golden Age scanned frantically. "Anypony have eyes on the bastard?" he asked.He quickly tried to think of the possible blind spots that would exist. He hoped he somehow didn't get underneath the bomber. He had no idea how much of a beating a B25 could take, but he knew all planes had a vunerable belly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
