The EMP burst scrambled the electronics of third dragon, causing to fly erratically and modern weapons systems to malfunction. Unfortunately, its magically powered breath weapon and its associated targeting mechanism was perfectly functional, allowing it to return Jason's fire.
Captain Fairchild tried to defend Jason by locking onto the erratically flying dragon with his Maverick missile; unfortunately, just as he got a lock and launched it, a stray high explosive rocket fired by the malfunctioning dragon struck him on the flank, blowing a sizable hole in it. Fuel and hydraulic fluid poured from the wound to make matters worse, the liquids caught fire.
"Holy s---! I'm on f---ing fire!" he shouted. He then accessed his databases for an intact airport he could land at.

Sara's breath of fire melted the armor off the final dragon, exposing its vulnerable magical power core.
