Sunshine (Bradley 'Rooster' Bradshaw x OC)

Chapter 22

"Hangman, watch out. There's a MiG to your right. He's firing!" Rooster warned out.

"I'm hit! I'm hit!" Hangman told us.

"We're hit! We're hit in the right engine!" Coyote reported the damage to his pilot.

"I'm shutting it down! I'm shutting it down!" Hangman said, trying to recover from the hit.

"Coming in, Hangman. Coming in. Hangman, that bogey's still behind you. I'm manoeuvring for a shot." Rooster said as we flew up behind them.

"Stay with him, Rooster, stay with him! Take the shot! Nail him! Nail him!" Hangman shouted out, knowing he couldn't take another hit.

"Shit. Hangman, I can't get a tone." Rooster grumbled.

"Shoot, Rooster! I can't get him off my tail!" Hangman worried as the lock beeping sounded out with rising tension. "Rooster, we're hit! We're hit again!" Hangman stressed their danger to us as they took another hit of bullets.

"It's okay. Both engines are functioning. We're okay." Coyote claimed, looking around.

"Hangman, on the count of three, break hard right. Three, two, one. Break right!" Rooster ordered and they pulled out the manurer swiftly. "Firing!" Rooster shot off the missile. "Damn it, I missed !" Rooster cursed in frustration.

"Don't let him go. Keep on him, Roos. Keep on him." I encouraged him.

"I got him. I got him." Rooster nodded as the tone sounded out. "Here comes a shot. Scratch three!" Rooster cheered as he took the shot and blew up the jet.

"Rooster, move! There's a MiG on your tail ! There's a MiG on your tail !" Hangman warned us as I glanced back to see it.

"Ah shit" I cursed out at the sight.

"We've got a problem here. We've only got one missile left." Rooster worried.

"I got him! I got him! He's right on us! He's between our tails!" I reported back.

"Shit." Rooster pulled us into a roll as we avoided gunfire.

"You haven't lost him. He's still with us!" I looked back again. "What are you doing? You're slowing down! You're slowing down!" I panicked.

"I'm bringing him in closer, Sunshine." Rooster told me simply.

"You're gonna do what?" My voice cracked with shock. "This is it, Rooster!" I reminded as I looked back again, knowing we only had one shot at this.

"I'm gonna hit the brakes, he'll fly right by." Rooster explained calmly.

"Shit! He's gonna get a lock on us!" I worried.

"Now!" Rooster shouted as he braked and pulled us behind the MiG. "I got a good lock. Firing. Scratch four!" Rooster shouted out as we took out the MiG with our last missile.

"Mustang, this is Voodoo three. Remaining MiGs are bugging out." I reported back to the ship as I let out a breath I had been holding in.

"Alright, Sunshine?" Rooster glanced back at me as I frowned.

"This is it" I reminded him and he faced forward again.

"Then let's make it memorable" he said, getting another idea. "Mustang, this is Rooster requesting flyby." Rooster stated calmly as we approached the ship and had taken our masks off.

"Negative, Ghost Rider. The pattern is full." Rooster laughed at the response and I sighed with a smile knowing he was going to go through with it anyway. I laughed happily with a cheer as Hangman, Rooster and I did the flyby before landing.
