<<AWACS Long Caster warning,I have multiple blip on my radar,heading from 4 o'clock>>

When half of the Hawkeye squadron is tasked to destroy the enemy squadron from Japanese mainland,the rest stick with the Alicorn to protect it from the threat of PLAN,but they soon realize that they underestimated the enemy:the PLAN's vengeance was way large than they had imagined.They want to sink the ship that destroyed Shandong.

<<6 destroyer-size ship,2 cruiser-size vessel and an aircraft carrier,if that is not a carrier I will throw this burger outside of the window,I believe that this is the Chinese,they are a formidable force>>

<<I think we should call the Anderson if they are close,the Japanese if they can too>>-Grimm suggest

<<No>>-Long Caster let down the suggestion-<<We're alone,Admiral Anderson is too far,at least 900 km away,they won't get us in time unless they have something that is flying fast and high range enough,and this is international sea,we can't call the Japanese to help,they want to avoid war>>

<<So no help?>>

<<At least until the rest of the squadron are back,oh they have started to send their wings,you are permitted to engage if they are within 20 km from our ship>>

<<Just that?Can't we intercept further?>>-Blaze complains

<<Unfortunately no,so I recommend you to get to higher altitude>>

25km away

<<I can't believe that they bring the whole force worth 2 fleets just to sink a single ship>>-a Chinese pilot told his wingman-<<Is this a serious mission?That is overkill>>

<<That ship sank our sister ship Shandong,don't complain,we can't underestimate it>>-other wingman told him.None of the men knew the capability of Alicorn,they just followed orders,if things went wrong then things went wrong,that's it.However,they given a chance:

<<AWACS Long Caster from Osean Defense Force warning all bogeys,you're going to be intercepted if you continue to fly in this direction>>-a warning blast through the radio of the squadron,confusing the pilots who don't know what is the current situation.

<<Osea?They new country?Is this an act of war>>-a pilot whisper to the communication line

<<Relax,ignore that warning,our country has thought about it,and our job is to sink it.Beside what can they do with that disabled ship?>>

*Bang*

A single shot flew by their squadrons,lit up two fighter jets in flame,their figure blew up and fell into the ocean. Immediately,fear is spread all through the enormous air fleet,the radio start to scream:

<<What is that!?The thing that got our wingmen downed?>>

<<Wait,that direction is...Liaoning!>>

On board Liaoning

"They should sink that ship,for the sake of our nation pride,and the men that died on Shandong"

"I will make sure they would destroy that ship"

The Liaoning,covered by 6 destroyer and 2 cruiser,along with another fleet,is going for a multi-pronged mission:to deliver Alicorn to the bottom of the ocean, revenge the Shandong and prevent Osea from receiving the ship.On the flying deck,everyone are busy sending aircraft to the air.

"That damn submarine,my son was in Shandong when it was destroyed,he died right when he take off,I must take revenge for him too.Ready for the secondary strike,fire those missiles"

From the escort ship,hundreds of missiles take the taste of sky,they quickly redirect and fly to the Alicorn,tending to match up with the air fleet.He gazes at the launching missiles,as they get far away from the fleet,when someone's voice gets into his ear.

"I have a blip on the radar,warning,a missile is heading toward us at Mach...12"

A single line broke out by a navigator in the control room of Liaoning,confusing the captain and anyone who heard it.The captain thought that he misunderstood something,but he will soon understand that he heard nothing wrong,death is coming.

*Klang**Bang!*

Multiple noises confirmed the warning of the navigator,but it was too late. On the deck,a hole around 60cm pierced through the floors of the ship. From the deck,the confusing and curious maintainer on the ship looked down to see the salt water under the ship,but not for long.

*Bang!*

Another noise erupted the carrier deck,an explosion shattered the engine floors and fired up several meters to the deck,consuming up all the men who were unlucky enough to standby.The carrier soon met one more blow from the ammunition bay,splitting the ship into two halves.

"Evacuate!Evacuate!"-the screams roam around the carrier.Under the remains of the ship,dozens of small boats get as far as possible from the sinking carrier.Despite that,the speed of sinking has crashed down some boats's effort to escape.The sinking was fast,to the point that Shandong still have more chance:

"What power did they proceed with?"-the captain asked himself-"My son died from this?"

On the Alicorn

"Nice shot captain!"

"I used to being deployed at the Comberth harbor in the Continental war,at the battle,I managed to land one shot 30km away under the storm"

"And that is the story of the hero of Comberth harbor"

"Enough,back to work."

Back to the air

<<Be careful,from above!>>

The F-22A of the Hawkeye squadrons dive through the shocked J-15 from above,blow out dozens of fighters within a few minutes,further worsening the unstable condition.

<<Easy kills,can't believe that they are pilots,they can't even fight back>>-Blaze criticize the enemy's skill.For an ace like him,fighting weak enemies is a boring job,although he isn't a cold blood maniac,meeting a worthy ace is still a must feel experience for this old pilot.

<<Chill out,they are in shock,if a 600mm shell fly passed me at Mach 14 I would faint>>-Grimm commented

<<Warning,many missiles is coming at the Alicorn>>

Under the flying battlefield,hundreds of foam stripes are being formed at supersonic speed,heading to where the submarine is standing.If those missiles could touch the ship,they would deal a fatal blow.

<<Wait,how the hell->>

<<All aircraft,intercept those missiles,fire>>

From the aircraft,multiple missiles were fired in front of the incoming projectile.They ignited into multiple explosions and destroyed any missiles that were unfortunate to catch in the explosive barrier,,the rest slipped by and was dealt with railgun,the interception was successful.The cloud of orange fall back to the sea.

<<There are still a few left!>>-Long Caster warn again erupt the squadrons-"Intercept them,they are subsonic"

<<We can't,we ran out of missiles>>

<<Railgun ammunition zero>>

*Kleng!*

Four regular missiles fly past the wall as they watch helplessly,crashing into the hull of the Alicorn,instantly tearing the outside of the already damaged ship,ripping a huge hole for seawater to get in.The Alicorn soon learns its body to the right under the weight of water.

<<Dammit,damage under the waterline,uncontrollable waterflow,the right aft is sinking!We can't control the ship elevation anymore>>

<<Sorry,we can't do a thing,our aircrafts ran out of missiles>>-Long Caster apologize,he wanding the aircraft surrounding the sinking Alicorn-<<I will call for help>>

"I understood.Men"-Torres take the radio mic right after that-"It was a honor serving on this ship,but now we,include me,have to leave,don't worry,we will continue to protect our ideology,on a different ship,now,shut down the nuclear reactor,we are leaving"
