After taking his seat, Thomas immediately heard the order to scramble. [color=0054a6]"This'd better be good, I'm in no mood to fight."[/color] Running to his plane, he threw open the cockpit and climbed in too fast for his own body, smashing his tailbone on the chair. 'No time to be hurt, gotta fly.' Thomas preformed a system check, left flap was slow to respond, and right HMG was low on ammunition, the plane was not in shape to be in a dogfight, but he had no choice.  After a quick messing with the hydraulics to improve the flap, Thomas took to the air, throwing on his oxygen mask a second after take-off, a dangerous move, but Kerry knew what he was doing. 

After a second of flying, Kerry saw Roland's plane, hearing a declaration from a plane's loudspeaker. [color=0054a6]"Not these nutjobs."[/color] Kerry said, ruefully. Turning on the plane radio, he tuned for a while, not finding anything. [color=0054a6]"Damn!"[/color] Thomas then turned to more conventional means, turning the lights on and off again in morse code. [color=fff200]"Plane not in fighting shape, taking over-watch position."[/color] Hopefully Roland noticed, hopefully more pilots take to the air, hopefully he didn't get shot, hopes have a habit of being false, but Kerry hoped.

Upon seeing what he was matched up against, Kerry flew upwards, preforming a barrel roll (Not a aileron, damn you Star Fox!) in order to avoid gunfire. Upon regaining his composure, he realized that Roland was flying head-first into the enemy formation! [color=0054a6]"The hell are you doing?!"[/color] In order to stop Roland from killing himself, Kerry focused his nose onto a fighter, after a second, a missile locked on, and Kerry fired from above, the missile would prove difficult to avoid, as the fighter was focused on Roland, and the missile hopefully came from outside of his field of view. "Hopefully", there was that word again.
