Miyoshi watched the cruise missile disintegrate in front of her, her missile hitting its mark in short order and the AWACS confirmation coming shortly after. She immediately pulled up, executing an Immelmann to get higher and back towards the rest of the flight. She watched Excalibur Six rip off to take care of a bandit on Lioness' tail, and was about to follow into the fray when she saw the two Bears launch the next salvo of missiles. Immediately she got back on the radio with Six. "Six, I have visual contact with four cruise missile launches. I'm moving to intercept. I'd welcome the help, over." As soon as she said "over" she began a shallow left bank, timed so that hopefully when she pulled out of it she'd be right behind the missiles. The missiles were split into two pairs, as the Bears hadn't been right next to each other when they launched. Miyoshi targeted the right pair.

As she banked, Miyoshi observed the chaos occurred to her sides and 6. It appeared that the rest of the squadron was pulling their weight nicely. [i]This is going to be a fun squadron,[/i] she thought. Soon enough she had completely looped around, opening the throttle and diving once she straightened out to catch the two missiles below and in front of her. She had noted Six's "Guns" call from earlier, deciding she would follow suit to save some missiles. Her R-37M missiles (among other things) were sitting in their bays, waiting to deliver swift Mach 6 justice. That time wasn't now though, as she approached the two missiles she had targeted. Flicking the fire selector, she called out a requisite quick three "guns guns guns!" and fired on each missile in turn in precise, short bursts from her M61A2 cannon. Looking over to see the other two missiles out to her left, she got on the radio. "Six, I can scythe over and get the other two if you're tied up or helping the others. It's no problem, over."
