## Chronology

### New World War Arc

In the beginning of the Raid of Valkyries Base, The bomber corps, consisting of 19 Antares-type fighters, 41 Sirius-type bombers, and 25 Vega-type twin-engine bombers, was on way to Kielseki from the Valkyries Air Base. Antares-type fighter, platoon leader Spetz monitored the surroundings in the Malmund Mountains formed a sea of ​​clouds.

Suddenly, the Vega-type twin-engine bomber scattered in violent explosion and fell into the sea of ​​clouds burning. Spetz was shocked that he had no idea what happened. The formation fell into a state of panic with the death of a dozen units that came easily as friendly planes began to explode one after another. A total of 48 medium-range air-to-air guided ammunition (AAM-4) fired from 12 JASDF F-15J fighters flew accurately and attacked the Imperial Army Air Corps. One of the domestic missiles, AAM-4, which can intercept even cruise missiles, had a problem during flight, but the other 47 missiles landed on the aircraft they aimed at accurately.

Spetz can't see where the enemies attacking come from. However, the sight that spread in front of him was the appearance of the imperial aircrafts that exploded one after another and rained flames. The formation collapsed and each aircraft flew in its own direction to escape an unidentified attack. He decided that it was dangerous to be in a high altitude with good visibility, and started a reversal plunge. In the rear, explosions continued and many lives were lost in the sky. He had no idea what's going on under the sea of ​​clouds. He rushed into the sea of ​​clouds to be exposed to the attack.

After passing through the sea of ​​clouds, there was a small space in the Malmund Mountains. He had no choice, but to go through there. Already in a nearly vertical dive position, he lifted his nose and passed through a stone that stretches over the Malmund Mountains.

Immediately after that, an unidentified enemy attack hit a pillar in the Malmund Mountains. When he turned around, the stone pillars collapsed with the explosion. He was once scared, but after fending off the attack; he began to climb toward the sea of ​​clouds to join the formation. As he approached the sea of ​​clouds, he began to hear thunderous roars.

While fighting fear, Spetz climbed up to complete his duties and eventually passed through the sea of ​​clouds. There were unidentified enemies flying around at an incredible speed. The remaining Antares-type fighters point their noses in the direction of the F-15J fighters in an attempt to shoot down the enemy aircraft, but the speed difference is too large and they are shot down easily. Autocannons fired from F-15J fighters also seem to have tremendous range and power, smashing friendly bombers into pieces. He saw the red circle mark on the F-15J fighters and a slightly white circle around it which he believed that was from the Japanese Army.

Intuitively, he immediately picked up the radio and called the headquarters that he was under attack and Japanese fighters were incredibly fast. A line of bullet ran in the sky while he was reporting. The 20mm cannon fired by the F-15J fighter grabbed the right wing of the Antares fighter. The tip of the wing disappeared, and the aircraft began to rotate while blowing flames from the right wing. He fell in the sea of clouds again while the Antares fighter spun.

The aircraft vibrates significantly due to the continuously rotating aircraft and the right wing that has lost part of its aerodynamics. A flame was blowing out from the right wing. It desperately controlled the aircraft. The right wing aileron did not move. By making full use of the left wing aileron, rudder, and elevator, the aircraft was finally able to move to level flight.

As soon as Spetz tried to operate the radio equipment, it somehow broke down and stopped functioning altogether. Worrying over fuel, he focused all of his nerves on heading back to base.
