Ch.8 of the story. I would really appreciate any comments on this as I cannot tell if anyone is actually reading it of not. To head off any angry comments that is not my opinion of Americans, it is the opinion of the characters and the US Major is just a jerk out to further his own career.

Castle Digram
Three weeks later
Three weeks had passed since the raid on Castle Birming with no major encounters with the Horde having been reported. There had been small skirmishes between MCF and Orc patrols but on the whole it had been quiet. This time had allowed for the establishment of new bases throughout the Kingdom of Calia to cover routes vital to the horde’s counter attack, which everyone knew was coming.
Calian Boarder
0630 Hours
Two Upgraded MIG-23MF ‘Floggers’ thundered across the sky on their assigned patrol route that would take them over the outskirts of the neighbouring Kingdom of Stukain. The pilot of the lead aircraft looked down at his radar screen and noticed two contacts closing fast off to their starboard side, coming from deep in Stukain territory. Quickly contacting his wingman he radioed in a fast moving contact to the Command centre in Castle Digram and both MIGs turned to face the two incoming bogies.
“Gargoyle Two to Gargoyle One” the wingman said,” We’re being painted by Attack radar.”
“what?” the lead pilot said as he saw the same warning start up in his cockpit,” Dragons don’t have radar, paint them back.”
“Copy that Gargoyle Two”
A few moments after both had painted their targets a positive identification was made by the MIG pilots as the bogies entered visual range.
Gargoyle One swore as he recognised the aircraft and their Roundels,” If there is one thing worse than Dragons, Americans.”
He began broadcasting on all frequencies,” Attention American Aircraft, you are entering Calian Airspace, Squawk IDET Immediately.”
The two US military aircraft came alongside, allowing themselves to be fully identified as two US Navy F/A-18F Super Hornets armed with full Air-to-Air load out and three drop tanks.
“Gargoyle One to Control.........We are no longer alone......”
Castle Digram
Air Base X-Ray
0900 hours
Colonel Vulpes and King Digram stood at the Castle Windows and watched as the USAF C17 Globemaster III touched down, followed quickly by the two F/A-18Fs that had escorted the transport and its passenger from the US Airbase in the Kingdom of Stukain. Vulpes couldn’t help but notice how out of place the US aircraft looked alongside the collection of combat aircraft operated by the MCF. Even while the Officer was walking from the plane to the jeep Vulpes could tell that he was thinking how outdated and useless the MCF equipment looked compared to ‘his’ modern aircraft.
Within a few minutes the Officer was standing before Vulpes and King Digram who was busy eyeing the differences in the uniforms of the two ‘Future Soldiers’. Vulpes sized the US Officer up and took in the fact that he was only a Major before speaking.
“I am Colonel Vulpes, Commanding Officer of the Multinational Combat Force detachment deployed to this world and this is his Royal Highness King Digram, ruler of this nation.”
The Officer’s reply caught both beings by surprise as the Wolf spoke in a tone of disapproval.
“I know who you the two of you are, I am Major Eden and so, now that the false pleasantries are over, let’s gets down to business.”
Without further words he sat down at the table set up between them and opened his Briefcase, removing his paperwork and spreading it out for Vulpes to see.
“What is all this” Vulpes asked as he and the king sat down.
“I am here to have you sign over all the ‘In Theatre’ assets under your command over to that of the United States Military.”
Outwardly Vulpes showed the same neutral expression he had shown from the start but inwardly he was seething, he could tell that this was an officer looking to further his own career and he would be damned if he was going to hand over his command to the US military.
“I have no intention of taking my orders from you Major.”
Calian/Stukain Border
0905 Hours
“Unicorn One to Unicorn Two” Rebecca Marriott, the flight leader, radioed to her wingman,” Looks like we have a visitor.”
She gestured straight down and the wingman followed where she was pointing and his eyes went wide in shock for, almost directly ahead and below them, was a large Horde Dragon attacking a small village in Stukain territory.
“Unicorn Lead to Control.....”
A lieutenant rushed through the castle to the meeting room with the message from Unicorn flight in his handpaw. Busting into the room he apologised for the intrusion while at the same time informing Vulpes of the sighting which sent both Vulpes and King Digram running for the Control room in the dungeon. On arrival they immediately began looking at the live video feed being transmitted from the two MIG-23s, via a Grumman E-2 Hawkeye, to the control centre. Upon confirming it was indeed a Horde dragon the two MIGs were given clearance to engage the contact.
“...Roger, making our run now” Unicorn One confirmed as she took her MIG into a steep dive and, upon arrival on the deck, flicked to 23 Mike Mike as the pair made their approach.
The Woods, Calian/Stukain Border
0910 Hours
James Hanson and several other villagers watched as the Dragon tore their homes apart in complete safety as nothing the locals could muster would have been able to do any damage to the massive scaled monster. Suddenly he heard a strange rumbling noise from in the distance that seemed to be getting louder fast and he turned around to look up the valley to where the sound was emanating.
A glint of what looked like sunlight on glass caught his attention and he pointed this out to the other locals taking refuge in the strand of trees who all stood transfixed as the two metal birdlike creatures thundered overhead without moving their wings and headed straight for the Dragon who seemed to realise that something was heading in and spread its wings in challenge.
Rebecca squeezed her control stick’s gun trigger and loosed of a string of tracers that tore into the Dragon’s wings and the Wingman opened up as well, tearing the Dragon’s wing membrane into little pieces and causing it to roar at the aircraft in pain. As it did so a string of tracers worked their way up the neck and into the head, shredding the brain and killing the Dragon instantly and causing it to topple over sideway and land on an already half destroyed house, crushing it completely.
As they regrouped and started t climb away they saw the surviving locals come out of the woods and look up at the MIGs in what could only be Awe.
Castle Digram
0920 Hours
Colonel Vulpes and King Digram returned to the meeting room and found Major Eden staring out of the windows at a dragon on the airfield conversing with several pilots.
“Stupid creatures should all be shot” Major Eden muttered as he turned to face Vulpes,” that will be the first thing I’m going to change around here once I am in charge.”
“I wouldn’t go making any changes yet Major” Vulpes said, letting the hint of hatred slip into his voice,” because I have no intention of relinquishing command to you.”
“I’d think carefully about that Colonel, I can make your life....” the Major started to say but was cut off by Vulpes.
“Your attitude is counterproductive to the alliance we have formed with the people of this land and I’ll be damned if I am going to allow you to stuff it all up with your arrogant opinions” he said as he motioned to the guard outside the door and within ten minutes the USAF C17 was taking off again taking the Major back to the US base in Stukain.
King Digram turned to face Vulpes as they watched from the window as the big transport and its escorts clambered airborne,” they’re going to give us problems aren’t they?”
“Very much so your Majesty” Vulpes replied as the ground crews brought two MIG-29 Fulcrums out of the hangers and prepared them for their combat mission.
