Captain Fairchild glowed gold as the aura of invulnerability wrapped his airframe. The shrapnel from the shells bounced off of him. "Prepare yourselves!" he shouted. He then activated the speed boost. A trail of blue fire streamed from his engines as he shot ahead, easily avoiding the AA guns.

Lt. Martin discharged several flares to avoid an anti-air missile fired from Major Douglas's riders.
Colonel Sukhoi sped onto the scene. "Riders, try to take out Major Douglas. I'll handle Lt. Martin."
Lt. Martin smirked. "Don't think so!" She then let loose a burst of autocannon fire that the Su-25 dodged by rolling on his side. Luckily, the howdahs had a force field so the riders couldn't fall out.

"How are things going on back there?" Major Lockie asked. He shot an AA missile battery, disabling it. He then locked onto a box containing a question mark. A bust of 25 mm fire revealed it to be a random ammo box. He was rewarded with three sticky bombs and two anti-air missile launchers for his riders. "Forget the guns! I got a power-up! Use the hand held AA missile launchers on my ramp! Also, grenades, when one of the competitors or a drone plane flies by, throw the grenade at them."
