The Ruins of Presidia: August 23, A.C. 432
Alarms and warnings were playing off the F/D-14’s RWR warning system. To get a sense of what’s happening, Monarch’s F/D-14 was in a flat spin; shot down by the experimental PW-MK1 flown by Crimson 1. Crimson was about to return to base, when a missile struck his critically wounded plane. He looked behind him and saw the missile trail coming from the F/D-14. “Not bad, kid…” crimson stated. Due to the safety mode of the Cordium powered aircraft being turned off. In a few seconds, he’d explode in a ball of fire. Crimson 1 took this time to say his final words. “Monarch, when you hear The Thunder, When the Storm comes for you, Remember me…” A sudden flash of white light pierced Monarch’s eyes. The damaged experimental plane he saw was now a ball of flames and dust.
Monarch noticed his plane was going to crash, he tried pulling the ejection handle, but nothing happened. He glanced at his WSO Prez, who had passed out due to the sheer amount of G forces she pulled in the dogfight. “I’m sorry, Robin…” Monarch said, as he watched his altitude meter plummet. 500, 400, 300, 200, 100, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10, and black. He woke up an hour later. Frantically, he opened the canopy of the plane, and stumbled out of the wreck. Noticing Prez’s bruised and bleeding body from hitting her head on the dashboard multiple times, he took off her oxygen mask, lifted her visor, took off her helmet, and hoisted her into a bridal carry. He set her down on a hill, knowing that she had a rough day.
When she woke up, she pushed Monarch to the floor. “Why the hell did you do that?” She shouted angrily at the Monarch. “You could have killed me, you know.” “Pulling 180 Degree turns in a dogfight like a maniac was so dumb of you!” She said, glaring at him. Monarch decided to take off his helmet. He almost never did, but he felt like now was the time. His dark and short brown hair stood out amongst the scorched earth beneath them. “It’s not my fault.” “If you want to have someone to blame, blame it on Crimson.” “That’s what I did anyway.” Monarch said. The two looked at each other, staring at their eyes. Monarch was the more Unique, having a shade of olive green, while Prez had a dark blue. “I… I blamed Crimson, for shoving you into Gloc.” “I felt, so enraged, that I just had to.”
