Things hadn't exactly gone to plan. Ken's EMP had done nothing but harm their own chances, and now his target had drawn him over a flak gun. The explosion of flak and the sound of shrapnel connecting with his plane's hull made Ken flinch slightly as he directed his far slower plane after the escaping JD4, rolling behind a building to escape the flak gun.

Ken continued to push his plane onward, but it wasn't enough, his old plane was far too slow to catch the much newer fighter, so he stopped trying, and dove downwards.

Ken flew towards Larcen and his pursuer, pushing Hu as fast as she could go. Though that was far from the hardest he'd push her today. That would have to be right about now.

Ken pulled Hu up, avoiding going straight up to prevent a stall, but still at a great enough angle that it could still be a risk. He lined up his plane with the pursuing JD1, pulling past Larcen and his stalling plane as he did so. He gave the Brit a small salute, hoping that he managed to see it, before clenching the controls and pushing onwards. He gritted his teeth, fired a homing missile, and dove.
