I begun my patrol with taking off from Yukawa, my ship was stationed there for repairs. I announced my arrival in hopes of meeting up with a commanding officer, but instead of finding a sensei, I recieved unknown transmissions from ships that were later identified as Nova Power Generation fighter crafts, located directly above New Tokyo. I didn't have to search too much, I immediately stumbled upon Katamite and Juntoku Genji, harassing a foreigner called Dan Bundy. I told the Dragons to stop threathening the foreigner and leave off, but instead of complying, they opened fire at the vessel.
Quickly, Chūjō Hajime Hiroito arrived to take charge of the operation. He ordered Bundy to leave the area so that the Naval Forces can deal with the situation. As soon as the foreigner left, Hiroito sensei also ordered the Dragons to vacate the area, but they weren't willing to do so until Hiroito-sama released a Blood Dragon captive he had on board. The Dragons opened fire, we were ordered to retaliate. Our priority target was the Katamite, but it was not the easiest thing to hit him, seeing that the opposing ships kept my vessel under fire. However, our brief firefight was soon interrupted.
The KNS Kataki, a Naval Forces gunboat arrived to the scenario. At first, I thought it was here to assist us, but as soon as I could get a closer look at the vessel, I realised that not only was the gunboat outdated in design and registration codes, it also had weird, organic mutation-like things placed on it, which later turned out to be deadly turrets most probably of alien origin. The Kataki opened fire at our gunboat, the IKN Jintsu, which was so far standing by with charged guns, awaiting the Chūjō's orders to engage. Realising the fact that our gunboat would stand no chance against the alien armament of the Kataki, we were told to switch targets and fire at the rogue gunboat in order to prevent the Jintsu's loss. The Blood Dragon vessels thought that the Kataki gunboat was here to assist us and they switched targets to bring down the gunboat too, I don't believe it ever occoured to them that the rebel ship belonged to the rumoured "organisation", the Aoi Iseijin. The fact that two alien vessels soon arrived right above the Kusarian capital pretty much supports my anticipations.
Regardless, reinforcements kept pulling in on all sides. My sensors read that the two alien ships that arrived were designated as "Ishkur" and "Qingu", probably temporary names assigned by my flight computer. A Golden C. vessel, registered under the name of Amy Masako also entered the fight, but she was covering the Kataki for some reason by shooting at our ships. The Imperial reinforcements however, were more remarkable. The Magellan, an unarmored destroyer arrived to give us backup, but was soon chased off by the concentrated fire of both the aliens and the Blood Dragons. Toko Oyashio, a Police officer and Aoyagi Ritsuka also came to assist, I honestly don't know how or when they left the fight. After loosing the Magellan, the Jintsu also took heavy damage and had to dock. We still kept our fire at the Kataki, the renegate gunboat was successfully destroyed.
The destruction of the Kataki seemed to have forced the alien forces into disarray. We kept our fire at the larger alien... thing, it started to flee with throwing mine-like energy orbs at us, fortunately our cruise disruptors had an effect on them aswell, a lucky shot made the alien blow itself up. While we were shooting at the smaller and really agile alien, Amy Masako was also taken down by Hiroito-sama. Even though we couldn't really cause any damage to the fast alien ship, it fled the area. We were better off with not pursuing, we were left alone with Hiroito-sama against the two Blood Dragons. We both picked one target, Katamite fought Hiroito sensei and I took on Juntoku Genji. My opponent was skilled, the Blood Dragon warriors are worthy of their reputation regarding flying tallent. I managed to scratch the Katana's hull a few times, but my opponent had the upper hand.
The dogfight went on for about twenty minutes, I still had it going when Genji hit my flight stabilizers. The ship was then not only hard to control, but the fire spread to my engines, taking my drives offline. I had to eject before my ship was destroyed. The DragonTail gunboat from the 6th Squadron picked my pod up, I got away uninjured.
