The Undying Ace (Ace Combat Pilot x Infinite Stratos)

Episode 1: New Skies

A world without war is a fairytale, but a world like this. Is a damn nightmare, a world where your sins take reign, and shadow your morals....

Y/N: "Finally... Strigon Team has fled the airspace, just in time"

<<<Alright, Garuda 1, you did it!>>>

I hear my opponent's AWACS celebrate for my defeat, feels funny in a way, makes me feel like i was a villain of their story, or some boss in a child's video game

Y/N: "Hey Garuda, you listening?..." I say as my aircraft starts to break up "Please... End The War... Save My Homeland..." I close my eyes, hearing the fire outside my cockpit as smoke starts to fill the interior. But before i go, i open my eyes, and look at the dreadful gloomy sky, this sky was calm and clear once, it used to mean a world of peace, now all it means is-

*BOOOM*

......It's dark, is this what the afterlife is like. Damn, kinda disappointing really, was hoping to find some hot chicks up here, or did i go down? I try and walk, but i'm stuck to something, my seat. Is this fate's way of saying that Nos and i were meant to be, until eternity? Probably, i lean back and strangely enough, the roar of the jet engines starts to fade back into my hearing, i can hear it outside, with the world still dark, i feel around and feel my dashboard, then my throttle, then my flightstick, hehe i can still navigate Nos even while blind, then as i lean back again, i get the feeling of my helmet on my head again, and the mask on my mouth, i feel the oxygen going into my lungs again, then i can feel my heart beat, slowly thumping at first, but then soon speeding up, finally, i open my eyes and see the beautiful blue skies again, but how did i get here, wasn't i shot down?

 As i'm wondering why i'm up here i start maneuvering around the sky, looking around i see that i'm over a city, doesn't look like Gracemeria though, can't even see the King's Bridge, i remember on that broadcast, i heard the pain in their voices of how sad they were to lose it, it was just a bridge but they treated it like a family member, fun times listening to that DJ, back to reality, it also doesn't look like i'm in Estovakia either, from all the buildings, i don't even think i'm in Anea anymore, place looks a little too high tech, coming from someone piloting an experimental plane, i try contacting the AWACS or any Estovakian forces but there's no response

Y/N: "Damn, what the hell is going on?" I level my plane out and put it on autopilot as i lean back and speculate, while i'm doing that, a holographic screen appears in my helmet "The hell?" it reads-

GUN: 800

MSL: 160

ADMM: 00

UAV: 00

DMG: 99%

Huh, never seen something like this before. But damage 99%, that doesn't sound all too good, despite damage being that high, i was able to maneuver it just fine earlier. Then again, that Garuda was able to move in that F-15 extremely well even after i hit him like three times. I take Nos out of autopilot and look at how much fuel i have left....
