Miyoshi was not at all surprised when the report came in of six more missiles being launched. She was certainly pleased to hear that these were also the [i]last[/i] six, but there were six missiles to take care of in not a lot of time. Fortunately, the subsonic Kh-55s were significantly outclassed in speed by both Deep Blue and the missiles it carried. That didn't mean it would be easy, though. The missiles spread out a great deal as soon as they were launched, meaning Miyoshi and Six would have a lot of distance to cover to down all the missiles in time...or at least, their missiles would. Miyoshi wasn't planning on trying to pick off all of them with guns like she had the last two. Time was of the essence.

"All right, Massao, let's do this," she said to her aircraft. Locating the three missiles closest to her, she sprang into action. First, the necessary radio calls. "Roger, Overwatch. Moving to intercept cruise missiles, over," she responded to the AWACS. Her radio responses often had a receptionist-like tone to them - almost robotic. "Six, I'll take the right three, you take the left three. Let's knock 'em out!" she said, more animated than when she had responded to Overwatch. As soon as she clicked off the radio she pulled hard up on the stick, executing two successive Immelmanns to get behind her three missiles.

The missiles were indeed quite spread out - if she was going to go for guns the quickest way would be to cross them all in a single angled run. She still had five long-range R-37Ms left, as well as two medium-range K-77Ms and four short-range K-74M2s, so she elected to use the missiles for time's sake. Flicking the fire selector over to the K-77s, she came in behind the missiles. They were far, far in front of her, which was deliberate so she could see and target them all instead of having to weave about. Targeting the first one, she fired off the first of two K-77s with a "Fox Three" on the radio. Switching to the second missile, she did the same. Out of K-77s, she switched to short range K-74s and pushed the throttle forward. This gave her insurance in case the first two missiles didn't hit their marks for whatever reason, and also allowed her to be in range for the short-range missiles. In a matter of seconds the fast Foxbat was within firing range, and with a final "Fox Two" the K-74M2 left its hardpoint and streaked towards the third missile. Looking out of her canopy, Miyoshi could still see all three missiles with her peripherals, and waited for her missiles to connect.
