It was during the School's Summer break so its a 2 month break period so Me, Anna, and Natalie could focus on our plans for now. Anna is trying to pinpoint on the whereabouts of Maestro after he had gone missing for months now. It is strange that he went missing during a teachers convention.
"Hey Vaughn you better take a look of this." Said Anna as she was typing on her computer.
"Yeah? Any leads on Maestro's location?"
"Apparently, he's somewhere in Africa. Other than that the info brokers don't have a clue about it." Said Anna.
"I know someone stationed in Africa whose neutral on any side."
"Currently they're in a state of civil war and most are currently in battle. I could fly us off there if you want." Said Anna.
"Well, you have a spare helicopter then?"
"Even better Vaughn... A Gunship. I actually bought it from a trade show back in the day it should be still good I've done the maintenance of that but I need munitions for it." Said Anna.
"Well you're looking at a Arms dealer of course I have munitions for gunships. Also I might upgrade it with better guns and ammo."
"Great then call Natalie and debrief her about this operation. Anyways I have to go for now I have to pick up the heli." Said Anna as she's preparing to leave.
"Land by the southern base in the Rayleigh Desert. I'll bring Natalie there we'll meet up in a few hours."
"Sure thing boss." As both me and Anna left the apartment to do their part of this rescue operation.
Meanwhile in a disclosed location...
"Hey, Natalie I have a proposal to make. It's a bit serious but I need your help. Maestro is in Africa right now, well his last known location I need you to help me get him out of there."
"Wait should he be in a Teachers Convention?" Said Natalie.
"Yeah, you do realize he has gone missing for more than 2 months now right?"
"I'm quite surprised he hasn't come back to school." Said Natalie.
"Let's get to the serious topic. We'll be going there via air travel you might need to bring your exosuit. I have to meet up with colleague there to get more info about the Maestro's location and situation, since they're in a civil war at the moment we'll be joining in so be prepared to get your hands dirty once we drop in there."
"So what place are we meeting up then if that's the case." Said Natalie.
"Go to my old Desert base just south from here you know the place already. Our ride there will be waiting. Don't be late this time okay as soon as our ride arrives we leave immediately."
"Sure I won't be late this time. Who's flying the heli though?" Said Natalie.
"Oh, I know someone who could."
As we separated for now to prepare for our trip to Africa to retrieve Maestro back as soon as possible. He could be dead or alive if we know retrieving him is important. So I prepared some of my tools. Like my heavily modified AK, the old exosuit, and Vulcan as my melee weapon.
A few hours later in the early morning at the Desert base... While I was there, Natalie arrived as well in a... Questionable form of clothing.
"Oh you arrived at the right time Natalie. Also that's not very tactical clothing you have there."
"What's wrong with it. The weather is hot as hell plus I only need my arm and feet enhancements for this operation. I mean most of my protection can be deflected by my sword remember." Said Natalie.
"I didn't expect you to be wearing such revealing top for a serious war operation."
"I know what I'm doing Vaughn don't try to nag me into changing clothes. I'm mean a crop top is the least I could do plus less weight equals more agility right?" Said Natalie.
"You do have a point there be sure not to get shot in the chest okay?"
As we wait there we hear the roaring sound of a helicopter coming to our direction.
"Sounds like our ride is here."
"Quite small for an aerial vehicle don't you think?" Said Natalie.
"I mean we don't need any other necessary equipment plus like you said less weight equals more agility. She will be our air support don't worry and that bird right there has enough firepower to out gun any ground forces or any aerial force that we might come across."
"Wait, she? Who is the pilot?" Said Natalie confusedly.
As the helicopter lands a window opens and Anna can be seen inside.
"Get in you two we're leaving." Said Anna.
"What!? Anna's piloting us!?" Said Natalie with a surprised face.
"Yeah, she'll be our insurance too if things get hairy anyways let's get going ladies. We might not have much time to save Maestro if we stand here idling." As me and Natalie mount on the helicopter going to Africa and I debrief them on the plan that we'll be executing.
"We'll be meeting up with an old friend of mine from the old times he's now a General of one of Africa's most powerful armies that protects the peace of that country. His name is General Jeffery he was a transferee soldier from the west that became a leader of his own platoon here and now one of the most powerful men in the country.
They're in a current state of a civil war between the Republic and the Rebels. We'll be supporting their final assault of the Rebel's main base of operations once we take them down he might give us information about Maestro's whereabouts."
"So we're basically their backup?" Said Natalie.
"Close but we're there to go head straight onto the frontlines. I've implemented a software that identifies who's friendly and who's an enemy in your scanners and HUD's as soon as we land there weapons hot alright?"
"Alright!" Said Natalie and Anna simultaneously.
"Hoorah!" As we all synchronize our war cries.
After a few minutes thanks to the helicopter ride we arrived within African airspace and began calling out Jeff's operators for our confirmation of our arrival in the battlefield.
"Goldbear this is Victor-Alpha-9 we have arrived in your designated airspace. We would like to ask for permission to engaged on the marked tangoes in the area."
"This is Goldbear, Victor-Alpha-9 you are clear to engage any marked tangos in your area. Weapons hot." Said Goldbear.
"Weapons hot, Anna clear em out."
"Affirm, clearing out marked tangoes." Said Anna as she begins her rounds using her munitions to take down as many enemies as possible. After a few minutes of going through waves of enemies from the air we radioed Goldbear again.
"Goldbear, this is Victor-Alpha-9. We would like to request a safe place to land. Ground Force Charlie is in need of help in the eastern flank."
"Negative, Victor-Alpha-9 the ground is too hot we can't let you land until everything is safe for both of you." Said Goldbear.
"Do you have any suggestions for a place for us to drop in Goldbear?"
"Not at the moment Victor-Alpha-9. We can't give you clearance to engaged on the ground until you finish off your aerial support runs." Said Goldbear.
"Seems like we're gonna be here for a while. Anna, any ideas?"
"Should I use explosive munitions?" Said Anna.
"Well we should request clearance first to prevent any collateral on the ground." Seems like this war is more than we've imagined but this is for the sake of Maestro's whereabouts. Plus I get to experience war again in the flesh too. Ooh, this is very exciting now.
