((alright updating it just to end this arc, I won't be posting for a while though due to my partner still refusing to work with me again, thank you for reading.))
The Type-00A Flight-Enabled Version avoided radar detection and penetrated into the Sogne Fjord from the southern coast at low altitude. Yoko looked at the navigation screen displayed on her console. She flew 40 km without rest along the mouth of the river that opened widely, and changed course towards east-northeast. From there, she lowered her altitude further and almost grazed the water, and then pushed further inland. The flight was going well. The performance of the Wings were perfect.
(This system will change the face of the battlefield…!)
Yoko imagined her enemies and allies jumbling in confusion as she soared through the sky. It was a striking and brilliantly hellish scene.
Her navigation told her she had reached the next course-changing point. She complexly bent her course left and right, and increased her course similarity to the shape of the fjord. When he had penetrated up to Leikanger area about 160km inland from the mouth of the river, the eastern sky started brightening. The Type-00A prolonged Flight-Enabled Version took the course towards the tributary that led to her destination of Gudvangen.
Rising perpendicularly left and right, the fjord's steepness increased more and more. Weaving through it, Yoko flew the Type-00A prolonged Flight-Enabled Version with almost suicidal speed. Yoko was not flying while depending on only the information from her sensors right now. Although she was not conscious of it herself, her sensitivity that had been honed to the limit ran through the TSF's armor and let her directly perceive the surrounding space. Although even Yoko herself didn't know it, she was doing something at this very moment that only she could do.
Suddenly, the Gudvangen dam appeared before her.
Yoko manipulated her control stick with quick but delicate movements and made the Type-00A Prolonged Flight-Enabled Version ascend.
The wall of the dam drew closer at a violent speed. However, the climbing angle of the Type-00A Prolonged Flight-Enabled Version was slightly insufficient. If she crashed, she wouldn't be able to escape serious damage. But—
"Eat This!"
Yoko activated the Right Arm Unit. She selected the 1200mm Over the Horizon Cannon. She had loaded 1200mm explosive cartridges that contained highly concentrated liquid explosives in the cartridge chamber, and aimed it at the pedestal of artillery guns that protected the dam. Through the vision of her Sensors that electronically intensified the light intensity, she saw in the dim light of dawn the figures of Russian soldiers desperately trying to intercept her. However, they wouldn’t make it in time. Yoko pulled the trigger. She fired artillery shells one after another along with the shrill sound of cannon fire. Yoko corrected the ascending angle of the Type-00A Prolonged Flight-Enabled Version using the recoil, and then drew a beautiful curve through the air and ran over to the sky over the dam wall.
And at the same time, an intense explosion occurred at the impact point of the 1200mm explosive cartridge. Yoko had driven the cannon shell into the gun barrel of a field gun with the greatest caliber among the artillery group. Like a scalpel brandished by a skilled brain surgeon, the explosive cartridge that flew into the gun barrel with a precise aim released the energy of its liquid explosives at the bottom of the gun chamber, and the tail end of the field gun was blown away. The armor fragments blown away by it and the blast torn apart the surrounding soldiers, and pulverized all the equipment and facilities. The concrete platform collapsed from the following explosions that occurred one after another, and detached from the dam wall and fell down to the fjord below. Burnt steel, concrete, and also countless soldiers were thrown down beneath the dark water's surface.
The ground troops, who had advanced near the dam at the signal from Yoko's attack, started their bombardment. There was no counterattack from the Russians.
Artillery shells exploded on the surface of the dam wall one after another. Lumps of concrete were blown away and countless crack appear on the wall. However, the dam that had been built to oppose mighty water pressure did not simply crumble and collapse.
Yoko reversed the course of the Type-00A. She switched weapons to a Type-87 Support Assault Cannon equipped with sabot-type 36mm high initial velocity Tungsten steel piercing shells. She aimed at the maintenance road on the upper part of the dam, and fired rapidly 5 times. The armor piercing shells impacted within a 1m diameter circular area, and created a mortar-like hole. But, the dam still stood.
"This will finish it!"
Yoko switched to the Type-74 PB Blade, and made the Type-00A Prolonged Flight-Enabled Version swoop down toward the center of the mortar hole at high speed.
With a terrible impact, the whole dam seemed to shake for an instant. And then—finally, the dam collapsed.
The huge amount of water that had been held back easily blew away huge lumps of concrete, and fell down into the fjord that had become a muddy stream that no one could resist.
"Mission accomplished."
Yoko said with a grin. The muddy stream would submerge the Russian Uranium mining base, and keep it beyond recovery for a long period of time.
And the real battle test of the Type-00A Prolonged Flight-Enabled Version that carried the Wings had also been a complete success on the first try.

Re: War Hounds(CW)((anybody who wants to add please PM me))
((Finally got my cousin to help me again))
Wheeeeeeeeee—
The artillery shells that came flying emitted a shrill wind-cutting sound similar to a dying scream. When the pitch reached its peak due to the Doppler effect, the artillery shells reached a business complex about 30m away from the Type-00A Takemikazuchi. The electrical energy stored in the warheads activated an explosive compound within them, and it was released as a huge amount of thermal energy all at once. A tremendous explosion occurred, and the pulverized portions of the building were sent flying all over the ground. Those pieces also rained down on the Type-00A, which was hiding itself in the shadow of a trailer car that had been turned on its side along the roadside. Of course, the Type-00A wasn't covered with damage due to an impact of that extent. Sitting in the cockpit, Yoko Tsubasa had a calm—no, an even more expressionless face than usual as she checked the surrounding situation through her Sensors. The reason for her lack of expression was because, right beside Yoko, there was a girl stuffed into the auxiliary seat into the cockpit.
"U-Umm! Can't you hear some kind of clanking noise!? Is it okay? No, rather, it should be okay, right? The Type-00A's armour wouldn’t be dented by fragments like this. Ah, but there's been that clanging noise since earlier. It's the sound of fragments hitting the armour, right? Getting hit could be bad... B-But, just this amount will be okay, right!?"
The girl, who had fallen into a half-panicked state, violently shook Yoko's shoulders. It was a sight that would have made their favorite female employer faint if she had seen it. Shutting out the incoherent and looping words of the girl from her consciousness, Yoko concentrated on the information being sent through her camera monitors. Although the second and third artillery shells exploded, they had fallen farther away from them than the first shot.
Eastern Germany, Berlin. Yoko and the others were in the center of the city. Since urban battles between the EU and the Soviet Union had occurred countless times there, the city was desolate and in ruins. After confirming that the enemy hadn't grasped the position of the Type-00A, Yoko cautiously turned to face the girl in the auxiliary seat, who was trembling as the tension finally went out of her. Whether it was because she was tired from shouting or had given up since Yoko never replied to her, she was now quiet.
"Have you calmed down?"
"Yes... umm, I'm sorry... I can never get used to situations like this..."
Watching as the girl became dejected like a different person, Yoko gave a rare wry smile.
Neha Gupta, age 15. Just as her name and dark swarthy skin indicated, she was from India. However, although it couldn't be imagined from her short stature and innocent looks, she was regarded as one of the young aces in the next generation of the TSF engineering community.
(No, rather than an ace, she's more of an idol.)
Yoko gave another wry smile, but it was noticed.
"Ah, why did you smile just now? Is it because... I shouted loudly?"
"Don't worry about it. I wasn't laughing at you."
"But—"
"Yoko! It seems this round of bombardment is over."
As if interrupting Neha's word, Troy's voice flowed out from the communicator. Troy had gone 50 meters ahead of the Type-00A aboard his F-22A Raptor and had hidden his machine in the shadow of rubble created from some crashed buildings.
"We'll move forward, then. Make sure to cover us."
"Roger. Hey, little girlie."
At first looking blankly as she heard Troy's suddenly blunt voice, Neha soon realized that the "little girlie" was directed towards her.
"L-Little girlie!? Do you mean me!?"
"Let me tell it to you clearly. I can’t stomach how a brat blessed with a comfortable and easy life like you is researching something like TSF development. Just remember that."
"!…"
Yoko sensed Neha catch her breath.
"Are you satisfied now, Troy? We should go soon."
"…Yeah."
Yoko made the Type-00A rise out from the shadow of the trailer vehicle, and began to move southwest down Greifswald Street using her Jump units.

Re: War Hounds(CW)((anybody who wants to add please PM me))
Several days before—
"I'd like for you guys to escort this girl to Yukon."
While visiting the War Hounds hangar, Renee, their usual female client showed Yoko and the others Neha Gupta's data. The prodigy girl who was accepted to the EU General Engineering University at a young age, Neha Gupta, everyone expected that her interest and talent would bring about ground-breaking progress in Tactical Surface Fighter-related engineering fields.
"Heh... A girl like this huh? Looks like the retirement of oldsters like me isn't far away."
Martin said. Troy, on the other hand, frowned as he looked at Neha's profile.
"…A weapons geek, huh."
"What is it, Troy? Your face says you don't like it."
"Yeah, I don't like it. Soldiers like us are supposed to risk our lives with weapons made by a brat like this?"
Troy flicked the monitor that displayed Neha's wide-eyed face with his finger.
"If your personal feelings are going to get in the way of this mission, please say so clearly. I'll remove you from the mission."
Renee said. Troy shrugged and shook his head.
"Neha Gupta wishes to move from the EU to a research base in Yukon. Since the Russian's also have their eyes on her talent, it's a sensible decision in the current situation."
Renee said that Neha's talent might influence the state of the war. They were to secure her person in Berlin and guard her as she was transported abroad. For War Hounds, this was an easy job.

Re: War Hounds(CW)((anybody who wants to add please PM me))
"I had a bad feeling about this from the beginning."
Troy's complaining voice flowed out from the communicator. The job that should have been easy had changed into a desperate escape battle soon after Yoko and Troy had joined up with Neha. Spies who had infiltrated the EU agency that had been the intermediary for this mission had called a squadron of the Soviet Union army in order to prevent Neha's departure from the country. As a result, Yoko and the others had gotten caught up in a TSF battle within the devastated ruins of Berlin.
"There was already warning signs when Renee said it would be easy, damn it."
Troy's Raptor readied its two AMWS-21 Combat System Assault Cannons and searched for enemies nearby. It seemed that the enemy were hiding among the ruins while aiming at Yoko and the others.
"Umm... won't any support or backup come for us?"
Neha timidly asked.
"The EU is already sending a backup squadron."
"Eh? When did you call for them?"
"While you were shouting earlier."
"...Ah, but thank goodness! Then we just have to hold on a little longer, right?"
"Unfortunately, that's not the case. The enemy reinforcements will arrive first."
Yoko shifted her body in order to show the display of the wider battle situation to Neha.
"No way."
Neha's face started to tear up. Deciding that another bout of panic on her part would be bad, Yoko gave a weak smile.
"Don’t worry. It’s not a problem."
"Are you sure, Yoko?"
Troy said. There was clearly concern in his tone. Certainly, this situation definitely did not allow for any optimism. But—.
"Our reinforcements are currently approaching from the west side of Berlin. We'll head over there and shorten the distance between us."
Yoko pointed at a location called Kreutzberg in the southwestern part of Berlin's streets.
"The meet-up point is here."
Troy quickly looked up the course in his Raptor. The destination was about 5 km away from them. It was such a short distance that you could barely call it a drive away.
"It's close even by walking…isn't it?"
It was just as Neha said. However, those 5 km were crowded with enemies.
