Lotus Blossom

They start off slowly, doing 5 synced Ahlstrom Loops. Junior tapped his communication helmet and Aria nodded, clicking her controls. Junior quickly went into a minimal-atmosphere reversal while Aria repeated in symmetry with a light-lance assisted turn into a rolling twin scissor with Junior. As they were carrying out the rolling twin scissor maneuver they worked there way up into a banking roll and then split vertically, angled at a 90 degree horizontal for a reverse backpedal into a minimal-atmosphere turn, polished with seven tight loops at the very end. @Edema Rue "....Anything else?" Junior muttered, flying in on the same aerospace realm as Lord's poco and pulling his aircraft up beside his flightleader's.

Junior looked to Aria in the cockpit next to him, then back at Lord. He spoke in a monotone: "It won't happen again, Lord."

"So.... What we've been doing, basically." Junior raised an eyebrow.

Junior swerved in nearby to Lord's aircraft, holding altitude right by Aria's poco.

"Copy that," Junior replied, "In the air on standby."

"Redirecting target once more," Junior smiled as he swerved his ship in an Ahlstrom loop. He hear Aria reply over his headset: "On route for Jock." He nodded. "Copy that." They reached pivotal altitude, gaining high groundspeed. "Lord, we're coming up from behind him," Junior said across his communication headset. He was waiting for an affirmative from his flight leader, and as soon as he got it he was prepared to blast the GravCaps. His right hand lay on one of the levers, agitated.

Junior dodged, weaving through the missiles, and broke from the Rolling Twin Scissors Maneuver to dive on Twig's ship. As he sliced through the thick, fiery canvas above, the world beneath him blurred into a mosaic of fleeting landscapes. The wind whistled tales of freedom and rebellion, but to him, it was just another choreography of calculated maneuvers. "Locating target, firing at the nose," Junior muttered through his headset. The sky, once his sanctuary, had become a mere battleground where dreams were traded for victories. "Light lancing over meteor, radar locked," He said as he fidgeted with the piloting board. The roaring engine, his only company, drowned out the symphony of the sky, leaving only the metallic cadence of chaos. The organized chaos of war. "Releasing light lances," He said as he sent missiles towards Twig's right wing. But in the descent towards Twig, he couldn't deny the hypnotic allure of the plummet, the cruel beauty of a dance choreographed in destructors, light lancing, and adrenaline. "Destructors on standby." The heavens had lost their innocence, and the only stars he chased were painted on the wings of his poco.

Olviere heard the cockpit rattle. Quickly, he adjusted the triggers and levers. "Aria- Docking out for a moment, malfunction with Gravitational Capacitors." The shutter went away and a bright orange light came on his main board. He swerved back upwards. "All good." They targeted Twig's ship and began the Rolling Twin Scissor Maneuver, again with Junior taking on attacker and Aria being the defending aircraft. "Setting off destructors in three... two..." He pulled a lever and clicked forward a latch, releasing destructors on the locked-in target, heading straight for the tail of Twig's ship. @The Honorable One

"Banking Roll into Twin Scissor," Junior suggested as he used a light-lance-assisted reverse backpedal around to direct his destructors to Twig's airship.

"Redirecting attack," Junior quickly shot over his communication headset to Aria.

Junior advanced the twin scissor and swerved in from the left. He dived down quickly and set his sights up, attacking from below with another (non-lethal obv) light lance.

Junior took on attacker position, as Aria's aircraft served as the defender. They accelerated quickly towards Whiplash's ship.

Junior clicked his headset. "Copy that, Aria. Target: Whiplash." He swerved in front of her. "Rolling Twin Scissor in three... two..."

Junior used the chandelle maneuver to dodge, and then targeted his radar on Whiplash's ship. In a flash, he light lanced off a meteor and sent a destructor blast, set on route for the aircraft's wing.
