Kevin: Fujin, engaging.

Jeremiah: Jester, engaging.

Mavis: Twintails and Doc, engaging.

The teams engaged each other in the air. As expected Hayabusa 1 activated his ECM pod. It fizzed the Kestrel's HUD.

Jeremiah: My missile's not homing in properly!

Kevin: So this is how it feels to be affected by EW aircraft.

Hayabusa 1 launched a missile at Marcy, hitting her.

Home 1 - 0 Away

Marcy: Damn.

Hayabusa 1: (In Japanese) Show them the might of the Eagle!

Hayabusa 3 fired on Jeremiah but he narrowly avoided it.

Jeremiah: Too close for comfort.

Kevin: Use your gun, now!

Kevin strafed Hayabusa 2 and landed several shots.

Home 1 - 1 Away

Marcy: I got this one.

Marcy landed a missile on Hayabusa 3.

Home 1 - 2 Away

Mavis: We got one, somehow.

Marcy: It's a little hard, but not impossible.

Hayabusa 1's ECM pod deactivated, making life easier for the Kestrels.

Kevin: Their ECM is down. Attack! Attack! Attack!

The Kestrels pushed hard, firing missile after missile, with some hitting.

Home 1 - 5 Away

Jeremiah: Now we're doin' it, now we're doin' it.

Hayabusa 3: (In Japanese) Shit...

Hayabusa 1: (In Japanese) Don't let them get away with that!

Hayabusa 3: (In Japanese) I won't.

Hayabusa 3 fired two missiles at Kevin. Kevin pulled away at the last second.

Kevin: You're gonna have to do better than that!

Hayabusa 1 activated his ECM pod again. The jamming area was being shown on the radar.

Kevin: Kestrels, get out of the jamming zone. Attack from outside their range.

The Kestrel 2 and 3 left the jamming zone but Hayabusa 1 was glued to Kevin's tail.

Kevin: Dammit! He's onto me!

Hayabusa 1 fired two missiles. Kevin tried to do the same maneuver as before but the enhanced homing of Hayabusa 1's missiles ensured that they connected.

Home 3 - 5 Away

Kevin: Shit! I should've used my flares.

Marcy: Don't worry Fujin. I got you!

Marcy fired her gun from afar, many of her bullets hitting the F-2A's tail.

Home 3 - 7 Away

Hayabusa 1 flew off, giving Kevin the opportunity to leave the jamming zone.

Kevin: Thanks, Twintails.
