Gar's Ace Combat Synopsis #1

Most of the Ace Combat games take place on a slight variation of Earth, in terms of technology and how the Continents are shaped.
Certain countries are obviously inspired by ones in real life, in this particular segment the main ones of interest are Osea (America)
Belka (Nazi Germany)
And Ustio, unsure where this is as it's a very small country
Now the game starts off from the perspective of a reporter interviewing a pilot on the "Balkan War" a War filled with the worst atrocities ever committed. This reporter is trying to get a good story as the Belkan war is almost 10 years ago and people have covered it before
During his research he comes across files that briefly talk about a pilot called "The Demon Lord" a pilot who is supposedly an absolute war legend who pilots feared when they faced him, and admired when they flew alongside him
This has the reporter interview pilots who have encountered him to confirm or deny this story.
The Balkan war saw Bella attempt to fight a War for resources, and other much needed supplies
Belka was considered the strongest country due to its legendary Air Force, and incredible breakthroughs in scientific development, meaning that its surrounding countries and Osea, which were trying to defend said neutral countries, were falling flat
Now the game begins in Ustio, the GALM squadron, composed of two pilots, Cipher and Pixy.
Both pilots are a part of a Mercenary Group, Mercenaries are typically shamed for fighting without question for the sake of money.
They fight for Ustio as a small squadron that is trying to defend Ustio so Osea can send reinforcements
Cipher is the main protagonist of the game, a silent protagonist, what you think of that is up to you.
Pixy is his wingman, a relaxed, sarcastic, yet proffessional Ace, who has the tag name of "Solo Wing" for flying safely to an airfield after LOSING ONE OF HIS WINGS

As the conflict starts, Cipher makes a name for himself, he alone ends up destroying the Balkan Bomber squadrons trying to destroy Ustio's last remaining base
From there him and Pixy work alongside eachother alongside aides to push Belka back
Now in Bella, there is a place called "Area B7R" also known as the round table,
This is where the biggest Air Dogfights start and end, and where pilots make a name for themsekves
Given that Mercenaries are considered expendable, Pixy and Cipher are sent there as decoys for the Balkan fighter squadrons patrolling there, so Osea and Austin can deal with limited air resistance at another part of the map
<Ustio My bad
Pixy and Cipher are sent to an area where they are outnumbered, and outgunned due to them flying relatively medium range aircraft
This is where Cipher gets his name
Cipher SLAUGHTERS the Belkans over the area, hunting down and destroying everything in his way, like a Rabid dog, with Pixy flying support
Belkan pilots call for air support, and a Belkan Ace Squadron is sent.
These pilots vary depending on your choices, but that's for another day
Cipher and Puxy destroy said Ace Squadron and come back alive
Belkan pilots spread rumours of Cipher and spicy, and their incredible strength
Cipher from this point, gets the name
"Demon Lord of the Round Table"
From this point it's rather normal, you bring Austin back from the brink, and pilots are hearing more and more about you.
<Ustio Fucking auto correct
Anyway, Cipher and Pixy not only save Ustio, but they go on the offensive and start invading Belka
In one mission, you are sent to escort bombers to bomb the hell out of a Weapons Factory. But the Osean Bomber pilots do something drastic
They start bombing the Civilian Oil factories as well, despite killing innocent civilians being a war crime
Pixy is driven mad by the people in the war losing their reason to fight and simply killing whatever they saw as an enemy.
Pity then defects, there is ALOT more to this but I don't want to spoil
Anyway
Pixy and other ace squadrons that witnessed this, form A world with no boundaries, a corporation set on setting nuclear weaponry on borders as to immediately cease any further war efforts that may start another war afterwards, this is confusing without much context but again, I want you to see that
Either Way, Cipher goes to stop this one final time, and he pushes through to the nuclear facility
Flies UNDERGROUND to destroy the ICBM launch sites, and flies out safely.
But then one final twist
Pixy is there
But no longer the same person, just a man who is desperate for purpose and trying to put an end to future warfare, has one more nuke hidden, but he fights Cipher to determine the best course for the War
And the future afterwards
Cipher is HOPLESSLY outgunned, Pixy flies an Experimental Fighter called the Morgan, an aircraft that was meant to be built to save Bella from losing the war, but wasn't finished
The Morgan has a Beam weapon on the top, that vaporizes you if it touches you
Burst missles, that burst in mid air to cause rapid explosions
And an electronic countermeasure system meant for effectively reducing the impact of a missle
Pixy however, is outskilled, and the repeated impacts of the middles Cipher shoots, tear off both weapons
Then he launches a V2 ICB missle
Cipher is now on a time limit, but he figures out something
The shock of the impact does not hurt the morgan, however, the explosion's smoke still gathers,m
Thus, he flies a head on Joust like flying against Pixy
Targetting him head on
Eventually, repeated smoke gathering in the front air intakes cause the Morgans engines to shut down
Pixy bails out, and survives, the V2 explodes in mid air
From there it's an epilogue on all the ace pilots Cipher faced, Its a very bittersweet ending for them, as they lost their comrades, their faith (More another time) and the war.
Pixy still fights as a mercenary, not enough proof to link him to linking him to the group
Cipher mysteriously disappears, shortly after the war, his wearabluts unknbeown
And Im done for now, fuck my hands
