Currently, you were idling in your Eagle as you waited for clearance to take off. It was just as boring as it sounded.

"Whoa, Valk, it looks like we got admirers!" Lara quips.

"What?" You blink as you look around. Your gaze falls up on the perimeter fence, and you could see a rather sizable crowd of people gathering. Easily at least a hundred or so. Many with cameras or cellphones snapping pictures.

"That is so weird." Amy mumbles, unsure of how to react to all the attention.

"How nice!" Lilian says cheerfully.

"Wonder who they're here for..." Lara wonders.

"Well, all of us, of course." You shrug. "I mean, we HAVE been saving people's necks and asses left and right. Wouldn't be surprised if we picked up some recognition at this point. And have you seen these bitching paint jobs Smokey's guys did? I bet half of them are out here for the hardware alone."

"Hm, that's true. Guess ya got a point there, Valk!" Lara says happily.

"Wait, what are they doing?" Amy asks.

You glance back again to see some of the onlookers raising a hastily made banner. You squint to try and read what's on it and you feel the bottom of your stomach drop out.

"Aaaaaaaaw, how cute!" Amy coos.

"Ah, it looks like you have quite a few admirers, Valk!" Lilian chuckles. "I'm quite jealous that you command so much respect from your underclassmen!"

"Woo, go Valk!" Lara cheers.

Out at the perimeter fence, you could see Professor Fleisher and his students, a few you recognize and a lot you don't, raising a banner with the crudely written words "GOOD LUCK KARLA!"

Oh. My. God.

"T-that's sweet." You manage to croak. In reality, you were embarrassed as hell. Like, there they were, displaying your name in large, crudely painted letters out to everybody who was looking! You were very VERY glad your mask was on, or else it would give away how red your face was. Honestly, you had half a mind to just eject and run away, but you realize that doing so would most likely put you CLOSER to them.

You manage to work up the nerve to wave back at them. At the very least you could acknowledge their efforts. The little crowd cheers and whistles in response.

Oh how you wished that your onboard fuel and munitions would just spontaneously combust right about now.

"Wild Cards, you are clear for takeoff." The tower controller announces. "And whoever's Karla, you have quite a crowd out there."

You then began to calculate in your head the cost benefit analysis of crashing your Eagle into the control tower.

"Come on, Valk, I know you're popular and all, but you're gonna get left behind!" Lara says as the rest your flight begins to taxi to the main runway.

Jolted back to reality, you quickly follow suit.

Well, you might as well give them a bit of a show before you leave. It's the very least you could do.

"Hey, girls, can you circle the airport in formation and inverted for a bit?" You say, trying to suppress a giggle.

"Um, why?" Amy asks suspiciously.

"Because I'm asking nicely?" You retort.

"Oh, I don't see the harm in it!" Lilian says.

"Heh. A bit of a farewell gift?" Lara chuckles, catching on. She all people would know.

"Something like that."

With that, Lara, Amy, and Lilian take off first. As you taxi onto the runway, you see them already getting into formation and begin circling the airport. Finally, your Eagle's engines roar as they push you down the main runway. Once you're in the air, you take position behind their formation.

"All right, now invert and fly straight over the runway."

"Roger!"

The three planes ahead of you then roll so that their cockpits were pointing to the ground and their bellies were facing up. You invert as well and inch closer and closer to Amy's Super Hornet, lowering and raising your plane quickly t give the impression that it was thrusting into Amy's craft.

"H-hey! What are you doing!?" Amy sputters, no doubt looking at her radar and wondering why you were so close.

"Nothing. Just keep straight and level." You smile. You look down to see the little crowd going wild. You sort of wonder what Professor Fleisher things. He was never too big on theatrics.

"Wild Cards, please clear the airspace. we have other air traffic to take care of." You hear the air traffic controller say with a bemused tone.

"Roger that, Tower." You say, finally pulling away from Amy's plane. "All right girls, let's go."

"You're such a naughty girl, Valk!" Lara laughs.

"Indeed. Belkans certainly can be devious." Lilian giggles.

"What... what did she do?!?!" Amy wails.

At this point, you're looking at your flightplan. Currently, you were to return to the Pillar in B7R by taking the most direct route. However, you see one little detail on the map.

"Hey, how about we make a quick detour over Avalon Dam?" You suggest. "Let's get a little sightseeing in before we head back to base? What do you all say?"

"Sure!" Lara says happily. She'd go along with anything, like an excited puppy.

"I don't see the harm." Lilian muses.

"Oh man, I always wanted to see it at least once!" Amy says with surprising enthusiasm. Probably because this was where Belkan War and A World With No Boundaries was finally put to an end by the Demon Lord.

Now, after all these years, Avalon Dam was nothing but an empty ruin. Abandoned after the Belkan War, the facilities here were left to flounder and rust away to the passage of time. As a result, the artificial lake behind the dam never refilled, leaving the old missile silos hidden under the lake bed exposed. However, there was little left. The entire area had been picked clean by the Allied Forces, and whatever couldn't be taken was destroyed.

Nevertheless, it was a mecca of sorts for war history and flight fanatics. Every year fans and admirers would take the long journey up to the abandoned dam just to catch a fleeting feeling of connection to the hero who most likely saved them all.

"All right, it looks like we've got a flightplan." You smile, finalizing your route.

A little while later, and your squadron flies over the bare, empty lake bed behind Avalon Dam. You could see the empty missile silos jutting from the long dried lake mud. You tried to imagine the epic fight between former wingmen and comrades that took place here twenty years ago. Down below, you could see that nature was surely but slowly reclaiming the lake. Trees and grass were slowly growing in an advancing green wave. You reckon that in a few more years, the missile silos would be completely overgrown with brush.

Probably a good thing, in your opinion. Nothing good could ever come from weapons of mass destruction.

"You know... this place is actually kinda spooky." Lara mutters.

"It IS an old battlefield..." Amy points out. "A lot of pilots died trying to assault this place."

"The most we can do is to never forget their sacrifices." Lilian says solemnly.

However, a metallic glint catches your eye. You squint as you try to get a better look, and you catch sight of what looks like... an airplane wreck?

You remember that quite a few planes from both sides were shot down during the fighting here. The search parties never did find all the wrecks, though. Not that they had any reason to, actually. Still, you were curious as to what it might be.

You double check your map and see that there's a small airstrip nearby. Originally built by AWWB to supply the base, it was converted to a temporary HQ while Allied Forces dismantled the missile launch facilities. Now, it was just as abandoned as the damn and the silos, but the runway itself should still be intact...

"Hey, I found a plane wreck people seemed to have missed. I'm gonna go check it out."

"Oooooh, a treasure hunt!" Lara says excitedly.

"Really?" Amy grunts.

"That sounds intriguing!" Lilian says in agreement.

Landing on the runway was a lot simpler than you thought it would be. Though the ride is bumpy, the runway is actually in pretty good shape for the time it's been laying out here without any sort of maintenance.

"We'll have to make this fast." Lilian says, checking her watch. "Atlas is expecting a prompt return."

"Don't worry, we won't take long." You assure her.

In a stroke of good luck, you find a few abandoned jeeps left inside one of the hangars. A bit of hotwiring (from Lilian, of all people) and some "percussive maintenance" was enough to get one of them running, and in no time you head for the plane wreck.

"What do you think it might be?" Lara asks.

"Maybe it's one of the Wizard planes. They never did find all them." Lilian suggests.

"Or maybe PJ's F-16. They only found bits and pieces, but not the whole plane." Amy guesses.

"Heck if I know, any plane is fine!" Lara chortles.

"Lara, stop it right here!" You pat your wingmate on the shoulder. "It should be right there!"

Lara puts on the brakes and the four of you hop out of the jeep. At first, you're not sure what you're seeing, until you see one of the angular wings of the crashed planes. Even the burn marks from fire and a thick coat of dried mud couldn't hide the dulled red paint underneath.

"Oh my god." Amy gasps as she clasps her hands over her mouth. "Is it...?"

"It is!" Lilian's eyes widen.

"Huh? What is it?" Lara looks a bit confused.

There's no doubt about it. Even after having slammed into the ground at speed, set ablaze by unused fuel and munitions, and left to the elements for over twenty years, the plane before you was recognizable as like the difference between night and day.

"...it's a Morgan." You breathe. "Not just any Morgan. PIXY'S Morgan."

"What... what do we do with it?" Amy asks.

You wonder. You could mark the location and request Artemis come out and salvage the plane. You suspect you'd get a hefty finder's fee for the plane, or better yet, might even retain possession of it. Then again, you're pretty sure aviation museums would kill to get a plane like this in their collection.

Or you could just let it lie where it lay.

I could upgrade them, but it's much more credit-intensive. The Lvl 1 - Lvl 2 upgrade for the F-15E costs over 100k, which is better than half of my total.

I'd spend money on ACI if they weren't deliberately trying to rip people off. They were fucking high the day they figured the price for fuel. I'd buy an unlimited option if it was under $150. But that'll never happen.

"Well, no sense just leaving the plane out here to rot." You muse. "A bird like this deserves to fly again."

"Huh, I don't quite agree..." Amy frowns. "Then again, it IS a pretty bitchin' plane..."

"Besides, if Karla found it who knows who else can?" Lara slides in to back you up. "Might as well call dibs on it while we can!"

"I'll mark it down on the map and let Samantha know." Lilian says as she glances at the watch. "Oh dear, we'll have to get moving."

"Right, right." You say and take one more look a the downed Morgan. You're so anxious to see it back in one piece.

The four of you quickly return to the airstrip and board your respective planes. You're a bit anxious taking off without the presence of an air traffic controller to guide you, but at least the airspace was clear out here so you didn't have to worry about midair collisions. The four of you manage to take off with little issue and in no time at all you're back on track.

"All right, I just got off the radio with Sam. She'll be sending a salvage crew over to retrieve the wreck. All hush hush, of course."

"Good to know." You grin.

"Okay girls, heads up." Amy warns. "We're entering B7R. Might as well be in hostile airspace now."

"Heh, bring it on!" Lara chuckles.

No, please, Lara, don't tempt fate like that.

As you engage a hard, high-G turn, you can see three missiles streak past your plane, your quick maneuver getting you out of the line of fire in the nick of time.

"Girls! Status!" You bark.

"One is up." Lara announces.

"Two is up." Lilian says.

"Three is up." Amy reports.

You would breathe a sigh of relief if you had the time to, but you didn't. Your radar was showing three contacts on your tail, and at least another flight's worth engaging your wingmates and keeping you all separated. The worst possible scenario.

"Mayday, mayday, this is the Wild Cards! We need immediate backup!" You yell as you jink your Eagle, a stream of tracers lancing past your wing.

"And here I thought you'd just decide to take us all on at once." You hear a familiar voice chuckle.

"Babylon, less chatting and more shooting." You hear another voice snap.

"Oh, quit being such a stiff, Lancer! Haven't you ever played with your food before?" Bablyon laughs.

"Not when the food has killed my men." Lancer growls.

Your third assailant stays quiet, but continues to try and close the distance between you. You find this guy to be the most unnerving. No quips or banter here. Just cold precision.

This wasn't good at all. You had three ace pilots on your six gunning for you.

"Valk, are you okay?" Lara asks as you see her Eagle dodge a missile fired by the Flanker she's dancing with. "I'm coming to help!"

"We're coming too!" Amy says as she shakes a Flanker off her tail.
