Another aeromorph, this time in her natural element. Supporting other aircraft during a dogfight by engaging other airborne opponents. Armed with sharp claws, a mouth mounted laser, concealed missiles and probbaly other weapons. Here we see one of her preffered tactics for dealing with hostile aircraft: ignore the plane and attack the pilot directly! Needless to say if he doesn't eject soon, he's going to be one crispy critter.

BONUS STORY TIME!

High above the clouds, a major dogfight of aeromorphs and normal aircraft fighters around a single large aerial carrier, Hregsvlegr, erupts as huge mid-air explosions from its nimbus missiles, launched from the aerial carrier, and rip the planes in midflight, vaporizing them that gets caught in the blast. A single seated fighter, a CFA-44 weaves through the aerial carrier's AA fire and picking off enemy fighters and aeromorphs one by one that gets caught in his sights, saving his squads in the midst too. Carter, Phoenix squadron's best ace and leader, smiles in the face of battle, enjoying the sky, in small brief moments, he takes his eyes off the front and look at the beautiful contrails that is around him as if time had slowed down for him to enjoy before going back to the fight...

Suddenly, one of his allies gets shot by a black and red beam in the distance, ripping friendly aeromorphs and fighter planes in its way. A crescent shaped winged aeromorph roars in fury as it guts one of the F-14 aeromorphs and spirals down to Earth. It then made its head a quick turn to him which made him wince in fear and kicks its engines forcing an afterburn to him! Shaking off the fear, his smile returns as he too charges head on to the ferocious beast, going full speed at it. He soon felt his sights focused on it flying towards him, an aeromorph version of the XR-900 Geopelia, opened its mouth and saw it charging its weapon. With no hesitation, he readies his cannon and lets loose a volley of lead to it, to throw it off. It worked as it dove to the clouds.

"Where the hell do you think you're going lady?!" He growls and chases after him, it is sometimes to mostly difficult for any pilot going against an aeromorph, but Carter loves a good challenge as the two dances in flight, trying to get a bead on each other until they went into the thick cloud layer and pulled back up, into the major dogfight, and lost sight of the XR-900. He scanned high and low, left and right, front and back for her. Until his squad mate called him out on the radio, "Captain, below the cloud layer!" Carter then tipped his plane to the side to look at the cloud layer, and saw it made a mad dash to him, and he swears he can hear it roar in fury. It then latches onto his plane, shuddering and wavering a bit as it was behind his cockpit, trying to shake it off. "Dammit!" He couldn't shake it off, and saw it crawling up to him and opened its mouth and saw the charging black ball of death, dead shot at his cockpit!

"Carter!!" a CFA-44 aeromorph variant comes charging in hoping to get there in time, gun aimed at the beast of an aeromorph on Carter's plane... And then fired...
