Thus far the night fight had been going well, the two flights were hitting their targets despite the much heavier resistance and giving the squadron more run for their money, still it did not deter them as her fellow squad mates showed of their skills. Valkyrie had a mixed load out of air to air and air ground ordinance for this operation and she was glad she did, her fellow pilots she was assigned to had most of the fun hitting multiple targets, the Swede on the other hand conserved her and took targets of opportunity in follow up attacks after her team mate’s ones, scoring a few ground target hits. 

Valkyrie heard of the situation Yuna had got herself into with multiple MiG’s on her tail, she moved to go intercept and protect the flanker, however heartbreak beat her to it, the harrier no doubt bringing an unexpected surprise for those pilots coming out of nowhere. One of the last MiG’s broke of, not wanting the smoke as the saying goes. [color=00aeef]“Cobalt 6, Fox two”[/color] came onto the airwaves, moments later the MIG was struck and went up into a ball off flames lighting up the dark sky for a moment. [color=00aeef]“Cobalt 1, Cobalt 8, Apologies for the delay, won’t happen again.”[/color]

[quote=@Rhona W]"Cobalt Squadron, this is Skywatch. Be advised; I have a formation of four bandits approaching hot at high speed. Altitude ten thousand; radar identifies them as F-15's, but I'm getting issues resolving a steady picture at this range. These must be some of the mercs the Libyans have hired. Be on your guard, their aircraft may be heavily modified or unusual types, given the radar returns, over!"[/quote]

Great just what they needed, another PMC, Valkyrie could barely make them out from where they were, she was able to make out the markings, matching, she heard rumours of such craft from a PMC, but she had never come across them in her time, one had already engaged Brightspark while another tangled with Yuna. Another one climbed and the last one went after Yuka, they seemed aggressive, they want aggressive, she’ll give them aggressive. 

The Gold trimmed one will be her target for tonight’s dance, considering they were occupied in going after Fuka, Valkyrie throttled up and moved in to engage the enemy PMC fighter. Soon enough the Gripen was lining up at the enemy fighter’s six o’clock. [color=00aeef]“Not on my watch”[/color] She said to herself, she was not going to give them a chance to try and get a hit on her fellow squad mate. She attempted to get a lock, taking a few seconds the target lock beep went off. [color=00aeef]“Cobalt 6, Fox 2”[/color] She calmly announced as the missile went after its target.

[quote=@Smike]"Roger Calico, I see them. Sparrow, I'm continuing ground attack for now. Peel off and help Cobalt 5, but stay loose. You might have to help both of us."[/quote]

[color=f7941d]“Roger Peacenik, moving to assist,”[/color] Sparrow was kitted mostly for air to air compared to her squad mates, this was the plan to run defence while they fubar the enemy base. And by god were they doing just that. Like it was on cue, Emilia saw the navigation lights of an enemy fighter moving in on Brightspark while he was taking out ground targets, she quickly moved into intercept the craft, while getting a target lock, it was enough to make the craft bank hard left and abandon the idea of attacking Cobalt 5, she wasn’t about to let it out of her sight, leaving would give a chance for it to return and re-engage. 

Soon enough the message came from Skywatch of additional bandits on radar, she simply had to listen on the radio as she continued engaging the craft she was chasing, the pilot was at least a more decent one than most they had engaged. In the process she missed the fact one of the new arrives engaged in one hell of a duel with her wing mate she was supposed to protect, she cursed herself under her breath, [color=f7941d]“Cobalt 10, Fox 3”[/color] She announced finally getting a proper lock, the enemy craft went up in a ball of flames, somehow the pilot managed to eject but that was not her concern for now and hauled ass back towards Brightspark. 

She arrived in time to see the enemy F-15 had actually been taken out with pilot ejecting, she was happy to see that at least but upon hearing of the damage Brightspark spoke of, wiped the smile of her face as she manoeuvred into formation with him to try and survey the damage, it was hard to tell during the night sky how bad it is, but it didn’t look pretty. [color=f7941d]“Cobalt 5, Your stabilizer is not looking pretty, how she feeling?”[/color] second later, beeps started going off in her cockpit, someone was attempting target lock, of course she forgot about the Mirage’s coming in. [color=f7941d]“Hold that thought”[/color] she said as a target lock was achieved.

She immediately deployed flares, and performing the Cobra maneuver on them, coming back to normal position behind them. Lighting one up with her cannon, scoring several hits on its stabiliser and smoke emanating from the nozzle, forcing them to break off and retreat, she immediately concentrated on the second one who was trying to lock onto her team mate, she attempted lock on the Mirage forcing it to move off and perform various defensive maneuvers to avoid a missile lock, but at least it kept them of her team mates back.
