(Inglorious Hotel, Surf Point)
A group of people were huddled around one of the radios in the lobby. Several workers were mopping up the floor or carrying munitions.
Suddenly, the voice of one of the field marshals came through.
"Attention, we have captured Chong AFB."
Just then, three more voices cut through, announcing that Dialset, Sunberry and Osmiridium had been recaptured.
Loud cheers broke out from the group gathered around the radio.
"Finally, it's over!" a Raven guard said. She appeared to be no older than twelve.
"If it were only sooner," a Human soldier said sagely as he wiped a tear away from his face - which was scarred up from an rocket attack that killed several of his fellow soldiers during the attack on Southport.

(Chong AFB)
Most of the bombers that tried to take off were downed by Seaboard Coalition troops as they moved in to take the air force base.
A few managed to get through though.
Several coalition troops and vehicles swarmed the buildings forcing any remaining Chong sympathizers and employees from their hiding places.
The few soldiers, mages and mechanical troops that protected the installation were no match for the sheer number of Seaboard Coalition forces.

"We're doing pretty good. I think we killed most of Chong's forces," Strut said. "Strut out."
He then turned to Shaggy and spoke. "Let's join up with Nick's group."
Anton and his two men came out of a nearby building.
"We're heading up with Nick's group," Strut said.
"Let me reload first!" the soldier snapped as reached inside the Humvee, snapped a box of ammunition to his light machine gun and fed the belt into the gun.
Anton loaded a rocket into his launcher and strapped some more spare rockets to his body.
The archer loaded some more armor piercing arrows into his quiver.

Paul radioed Captain Fairchild. "Hey Captain, we're heading to Galena HQ to destroy it. We'll need your help."
"Roger that. I was getting bored anyways. Fairchild out."
The sound of jet engines was soon heard over the group.
Suddenly, his voice came back over the radio. "You may wanna get moving. I Got some living vehicles and Chong troopers about four or so miles away on radar. Also, HQ's heavily guarded so be prepared for a hell of a fight."

(Neptune City)
Lt. Martin had already downed the enemy fighter but her body was riddled with bullet holes. The dragon was still fighting, even after it had eaten over 100 25 mm high explosive rounds.
Major Lockie flew over the large dragon and aimed his 105 cannon at its head. "Kiss your ass goodbye," he growled as his gun fired. The powerful explosion at such close range made him - as well as the reloading crew inside him - flinch. But it did its work, the head of the dragon was completely obliterated and the dragon crashed to earth, destroying several small buildings at its impact site.
"Thanks," Lt. Martin said, winking at him.
If it were possible, Major Lockie would have blushed. A burst of AA fire hitting his belly reminded him that he was in a war zone.
------------------------------
Thanks to the fact that the Chong chemical bombers had no fighter escort and were not alive, the other living fighter planes shot them down with minimal effort.
