During the October War, after escaping Thor’s Academy with the other students, Klein & Heibel had been doing their best to stay up to date on how the war’s going. Before long, they contacted Rean and Class VII about an airliner that was hijacked by jaegars around the Eisengard Range. They used civilian hostages, nobles included. Klein and Heibel swapped info before Klein acquired an orbal rifle. While the two snuck in through one way, Class VII went in another way to rescue the hostages. During the confrontation, Klein and Heibel took care of the foes on the bridge to gain control of the airliner; Klein took out the lookouts while the Jaegers were busy fighting Class VII.

After properly restraining the mercenaries, the Thors Students secured the safety of the remaining hostages before setting the airliner in route to Roer Airport, where the heroes handed the culprits to the RMP and Nortia Provincial Army. Klein and Heibel gave much credit to Class VII for they played only support roles. With the mission done, Klein and Heibel decided to join Class VII aboard the Courageous then continuing to fly solo, and would help Rean’s party out in the future.
