The First Thornton Stationery Aerial Fight

During the beginning of The June 2021 Thornton Revolution, Jebidiah Thornton personally tried to blackmail Henderson Scunthorpe to build him an army of Thornton Zeppelins. DeSaad Pepper, Wilfred Pebble, Alfred Lennie and Jasper Scunthorpe confronted Jebidiah, whilst he was blackmailing Henderson, and defended Henderson against Jebidiahs wrath. Bernard Smith and Darius Wiggleton swung into the warehouse where the Zeppelin was being contained. Shards of glass flew everywhere. They ran into the Zeppelin after knocking out Jebidiah and turned it on. The roof opened up and released the Zeppelin into the world.

Jebidiah got up and radioed for some Thornton Armoured Attack Helicopters (TAAH) to be deployed. The Zeppelin was heavily armed with Gatling guns and turrets that were currently manned by Darius, DeSaad and Wilfred. Henderson piloted whilst Jasper navigated with Bernard on communications. A brutal airborne battle commenced as the Zeppelin arrived over the Alps near the Liechtenstein border. A lucky shot from one of the TAAH's almost destroyed the engine of the Zeppelin, sending it spiralling into the alps.

The gang ran into the control room and armed themselves with Glock 19s, an MP5 for Jasper, and Darius armed himself with a newly bought Gepard GM6 Lynx. Arctic battle armour was provided for everyone (including an arctic fox fur coat variant for Darius to prepare for their dive into the Alps and with one click of a button, they jumped into the snowy wasteland below.

Bernard was the first to land with Jasper, Henderson, DeSaad, Wilfred and Darius following. The Zeppelin crashed into a couple of Helicopters, though some of the Assassins and Thorntoniers escaped. Darius shot a couple of rockets at some of the helicopters which proceeded to blow up in the sky. Bernard then began to helicopters and then coiled back into the smallest form he could possibly be. With the ultimate strength of a thousand black horses, Bernard launched into the air and went straight through three TAAH's. Quite a few of the assassin's froze so stiff that they didn't even activate their parachutes but some of the Assassins, who were used to Bernard's unorthodox fighting methods, pulled the rope almost immediately.

Jebidiah and the 5 remaining helicopters landed in front of the group and pulled out their modernised muskets. Jebidiah pulled out a six shooter and everyone stood still as they watched each other through masks and pierced eyes. Bernard landed back down in a superhero pose and roared at Jebidiah. Jebidiah stood unfazed and then, with a look of horror, turned around.

A Vietnamese style Helicopter was furiously fluttering towards them and inside was a screaming, spitting, barking and DISKO dancing Cecil Longstaff. Everyone proceeded to run for their lives in the opposite direction as Cecil crashed the helicopter into the snow.

Cecil Longstaff slowly walked away from the wreckage, completely intact and, with a wicked smile, epically placed some aviator shades on his head. Jebidiah looked in fear as Bernard started galloping towards him, Cecil coolly increasing his pace and Darius performing an illustrious cat walk with the elegance and grace of a gazelle towards Jebidiah. The others bounded playfully towards the terrified troopers with wicked grins. Jebidiah pulled out a grapple gun and said "This will not be over scummies" and shot his gun at a helicopter that had secretly appeared to save him. Cecil and Bernard spat in fury while Darius through a rock at the helicopter.

Jebidiah stuck out his tongue as he flew off into the sunset.

The rest of the assassin's were rounded up and were marched by the gang over three miles of snow, they had to carry an injured Henderson as well, until they were rescued by BATTY after the DPDA had contacted them to pick them up for the next phase of their operation.
