>[DEPLOY FLARES]

Thumps reverberated through the airframe as a salvo of brilliant magnesium streaks were dispensed from the belly of the Fulcrum. The enemy missile locked onto the brightest decoy and struck its warhead onto it without hesitation, causing it to erupt in a fireball just short of your tail. The shockwave violently rocked your Fulcrum, jarring your battered airframe even more than it already was, but you were still flying.

"Just one more bandit. Just one."

You gritted your teeth and yanked the stick hard, wrenching the Fulcrum into a break-turn in order to position yourself as the attacker on the Flanker's rear, and the G's sustained by your aircraft threatened to make the whole thing to fall apart, but the risk was worth it. The Flanker came zooming past over your canopy, shielding your cockpit from the sunlight with its massive frame for a split-second. You could see its nozzles flare in twin cones of searing blue flame and the air rippling in blurs from the heat before you.

You were on the offensive now. The reticle on your HUD snapped onto the Flanker's nozzles instantly for a lock as you lined up your gunsight precisely on the bandit's center. It was your turn to pull the trigger on the bastard.
