TRANSCRIPT

(BARTLETT and GENETTE sit on a bench outside one of the cargo plane hangers
watching the sun go down. POPS in inside the hanger making adjustments to a
dismantled aircraft and RANDOM PERSONNEL can be heard in the background playing
with POPS' dog KIRK.)

Genette V.O.: The whole affair with the unidentified aircraft was covered up,
there was even a rumour going around that it was actually a UFO. Officially the
world was still at peace. Having witnessed the battle myself, I wasn't allowed
to leave the island.

Bartlett: Why do they even bother reprimanding me anymore? I know I'm gonna be
stuck at Captain forever.

Genette: Who do you thinks covering up the battle?

Bartlett: Listen, the only thing across that ocean is Murska Air Base, that's
Yuktobanian territory.

Genette: But, haven't we been allies with the Yukes since the war 15 years ago?

Bartlett: Yeah... That's why we got people working their asses off trying to
confirm what the hells goin' on over there. I bet they've got hotlines ringing
off the hook somewhere upstairs. The Government doesn't want to get the public
railed up with all this y'know. But it doesn't matter, soldiers like us are too
stupid to think for ourselves, so we just gotta keep our mouths shut when they
tell us to. I feel kind of bad for you actually.

Genette: (laughs), it's alright, I get to be with you guys.

(POPS' voice comes from inside the hanger, he walks out and joins the
conversation.)

Pops: Captain's probably hating this more than anybody.

Genette: Hm?

Pops: He used to have a lady friend over in Yuktobania.

Bartlett: Ah, that's just an old war wound now.

TRANSCRIPT

(The scene starts from the perspective of a hand camera mounted on a top corner
of a simple room. Genette's face is close to the lens as he makes adjustments
before moving backwards and standing in full view.)

Genette V.O.: This was the room, or the cell I had been assigned to.

(We see a side shot of Hamilton, who is making a phone call inside the room. He
puts down the phone and taps the receiver as in deep thought, before turning his
head to the camera and talking to Genette.)

Genette V.O.: Captain Hamilton. Unlike his superior, the Base Commander who
locked me in here he's been very reasonable with me, he even got my camera back.
He told me if his uncle wasn't a soldier, he would have liked to have had a job
like mine.

Hamilton: Well, we don't have any reason to hold you anymore.

Genette: What do you mean?

Hamilton: Yuktobania just declared war. They've launched an offensive
simultaneously too. Our Naval Port at St. Hewlett is being bombed right now.

(Hamilton straightens his hat and leaves the room. Genette pushes back the bind
and watches the three remaining Wardog planes takeoff to support the defence of
St. Hewlett.)

Genette V.O.: There were only three of then now.

TRANSCRIPT

Genette V.O.: When the rescue chopper arrived, the captain was nowhere to be
seen. The only thing they found was the retreating enemy intelligence vessel.
This island used to be a place of exile from the rest of the world. It then
became our first line of defence against them enemy.

(The scene changes to the crew lounge, it is close to midnight. Genette is
sitting on a bed while Chopper puts on some music. The song Blurry plays. There
are various posters one of which is the Sky Kid poster on the walls. Chopper
sits down on the sofa and pats Kirk who is lying at his feet.)

Chopper: Who'll be the flight lead tomorrow? I wouldn't waste my energy worrying
about that if I were you.

(Chopper sits down with a sigh)

Chopper: We're an auxiliary squadron you know, so his Highness the Lieutenant
Colonel will just come down from the mainland and take over, that's all. Whew! I
love this sound, calms me down, I'm gonna sleep well tonight!

Genette: I heard the one that broke the Captain's heart 15 years ago was a recon
major in the Yuke army.

Chopper: Yeah, I did my history homework. We were allies back then. Man, the
Base Commander sure wasn't being subtle about making accusations. Haha

(Chopper attempts to impersonate Perrault)

Chopper: Was there anything suspicious about the Captains behaviour? He says.
Hell, I'm more suspicious about that screw in his damn head.

(The alert siren sounds, Chopper collapses on the sofa in a mix of weariness and
frustration.)

Chopper: Aw, you're kidding me, an air raid? Gimme a break man!

TRANSCRIPT

(The morning is clear after the attack last night. Pops approaches and lands at
Sand Island, after spending the night on the mainland. The camera observes Pops
landing, watching the nose wheel gently roll onto the runway.)

Genette V.O.: From the sky, the morning after. Pops came back like nothing had
happened; as if the open skies had always been his one true home. Only seventeen
hours had passed since the war began. Yuktobania's war strategies seemed to be
minutely timed to avoid giving Osea anytime to launch a counter attack.

(The camera moves to the Crew Quarters. The camera is once again in the
perspective of Genette's recorder, and is pointed at Nagase resting on a sofa
and writing in her book. There are other people in flight suits passing in front
of the camera.)

Genette V.O.: I got a notice of assignment as a member of the press corps, I
guess Captain Hamilton had pulled a few strings for me. I didn't waste any time
going to work.

(The camera shows Genette's lens moving back and forth, trying to get Nagase in
focus.)

Genette V.O.: Second Lieutenant Nagase, inside the crew room. She's sitting by
herself, writing something in her book. Nobody knew what she was writing.

Genette V.O.: I realised these people may well be the story I was looking for
all this time. In fact, I was sure of it.

(Nagase looks out of the window as a jet is heard flying past.)

TRANSCRIPT

(The first shot we see is an overhead shot of an airbase. However, it is vastly
different from the island paradise of Sand Island. The sky is dark and it is
snowing heavily. The Wardog squadron land at the base.)

Nagase V.O.: We set off for the Northern Region to re-fuel. This place is
paradise compared to what's further ahead. Beyond our destination lies to closed
gate to Nord Belka. Fifteen years ago, the Belkans set off seven nuclear bombs
there to stave off the advancing allied forces, entombing themselves to the
frozen valleys to the north. That bit of history should have been enough of a
lesson for us all. The seven Belkan cities near the gate were vaporised, and the
local area is still highly radioactive. Our landing point was in the state of
North Osea, formally a haven for Belkans, but now entrusted to Osean rule. If
you refer it to that name in front of a local, he'll put a scowl on his face and
tell you that this is South Belka.

Nagase V.O.: Hierlark meant a lot to us. Our flight training look place here on
this airfield. On the base, we were surrounded by junior cadets, eager to hear
war stories. The newspaper article written about us by that journalist Genette
made it here faster then we did. Somewhere along the line, we had become the
most experienced pilots in the entire war. Us, Captain Bartlett's nuggets.

(The shot now moves onto the four aircraft and junior cadets flying south-west
back towards Sand Island. As Grimm and Chopper talk, the camera show both
aircraft cockpits in the same shot.)

Nagase V.O.: We were directed to take these inexperienced pilots back with us to
Sand Island then we returned.

Chopper (over radio): Man, we'd better thank Pops for this.

Grimm (over radio): Why's that?

Chopper: 'cos, he's the person who pounded basic fighter manoeuvres into us, now
we can lord it over all these guys.

Nagase V.O.: You said it.

Nagase V.O.: These pilots had only a tenuous grasp of flying, much less mid-air
refuelling, so we had to land at every base along the way. I can't believe we
have to send them off to guard the western coastline.

TRANSCRIPT

(We see a image that looks as if it is taken from a ground telescope, the focus
is fuzzy as it looks at the stratosphere. We see the recently launched laser
module docking with the Arkbird.)

Nagase V.O.: The white bird rose up once again, laser cannon in its wings. It
was a moving sight. In my heart though, I wish it didn't have to be used in war.

Genette V.O.: None of them found out why they had targeted the base until much
later. Of course by that time it was too late.

Genette V.O.: When my article, the Four Wings of Sand Island was published to
wide acclaim, I grew bolder.

(The camera appears to be from Genette's camera again, he is recording the Base
Commander Parrault talking with two other officers.)

Genette V.O.: Here was a profile view of the Base Commander. The emperor of this
base.

(Hamilton knocks down the camera.)

Hamilton: Don't! He's in a bad mood today, if he catches you, he'll have your
head.

Genette: What happened?

(Hamilton shrugs as he walks away down a corridor. The camera move beck to the
crew ready room where Nagase is sitting on the sofa again talking to Genette and
thinking out loud.)

Nagase: The Arkbird...

Genette: Huh?

Nagase: The White Bird in outer space, with Yuktobania outclassing us in
firepower, it was the presidents one trump card in the peace negotiations. And
now it's fallen right out of our hands.

Genette: So you're saying we don't know how long the war will drag on.

(We now see the same fuzzy shot of the Arkbird we saw from White Bird #1.)

Genette V.O.: The Arkbird. A super weapon capable of attacking from space, far
beyond the reach of the enemy. Its power generator was destroyed by explosives
hidden within a supply satellite they launched from earth. Once again, the
balance of power had tipped towards Yuktobania.

Genette V.O.: General Hamal. Supreme commander of the Osean Army deployed to
Yuktobania successfully stormed the enemy beach and established a command centre
on the spot. The general who claims to have been given full operational
authority by the President then made the following declaration: "We will march
forward and we will not lay down our arms until the Yuktobanian capital has
fallen".

(The screen changes to a picture of Oured from the bay.)

Genette V.O.: Oured, the Osean capital. The winds of war have yet to reach here,
the air still smells of peace.

(We now see Nagase, Chopper and Grimm standing on Courtroom type stands in a
darkened room. A booming, aggressive voice talks back to them.)

Nagase: But that wasn't us! By the time we got there they had already

Grimm: That's right, we heard them over the radio, they called themselves the
8492nd squadron.

Osean CM officer: 8492! 8492! Is that all you people have to say! There is no
squadron in our military with that number!

Chopper: Damn it! What the hell's goin' on here!

TRANSCRIPT

(The scene opens with several shots of the crew ready room back at Sand Island.
The squadron are sitting at various places waiting for their mission briefing.)

Genette V.O.: Despite the hectic mood of the staff at HQ, the start of the
briefing was delayed. But the weary pilots, knowing full well that they would
have to force their exhausted bodies back into the air once the order was given,
weren't the slightest bit disturbed by the delay.

Grimm [to Nagase]: Hey, what are you writing there?

Nagase: I just can't remember this next phrase.

Chopper: Here, let me see!

Nagase: Hey!

Nagase: The Princess couldn't feed the dove that day, she was too sick.

Grimm: May I take a look?

Chopper: Razgriz, the Demon of Razgriz got her right?

Nagase: You know the story?

Chopper: The demon from the North Sea! I remember, my Grandma used to tell me
bedtime stories about it, and every time she did I'd be too scared to go to the
bathroom in the middle of the night.

(Nagase laughs while Hamilton speaks from outside of the camera.)

Hamilton: Settle down people.

(The camera moves to the briefing room, where Perrault and Hamilton are standing
in front of the screen with the mission details.)

Genette V.O.: I know a little about that famous legend too. When history
witnesses a great change, Razgriz reveals itself; first as a dark demon. As a
demon, it uses it's power to rein death upon the land, and then it dies.
However, after a period of slumber, Razgriz returns.

TRANSCRIPT

(This scene is shot as if through Genette's camera. There is a party and there
is a lot of music and celebrating. Pops is in the camera talking to Genette.)

Pops: Heavens! The ace pilots who sunk the enemy submarines are right over
there! And I'm the person you want to interview now?

Genette: No it's not that! It's just I heard that you were once a fighter pilot
yourself.

Pops: I just fly fright planes for the maintenance crews now. The Captain,
Captain Bartlett that is, it was time for an old man like me to stop trying to
compete with the young guys. Talk about a lack of respect!(laughs).

Genette: Where did you meet Captain Bartlett?

Pops: We were both shot down and we bailed out behind enemy lines in the last
war. We got back through the bullet-ridden battlefield and made it back to the
allied front lines. I tell you, it was tough getting the army to believe we were
on their side.

Genette: Shot down? You two!

Pops: Hey, it was a long time ago. Everyone makes mistakes right?

Genette: Oh, no I didn't mean it that way. Even if you're not flying with those
pilots your age and experience provide a lot of support for all of them. I just
wanted to tell you that. I've seen they really listen to what you say, and you
always have helpful suggestions for them.

Pops: Well, thank you.

Genette: I think they're all going to need you, now more then ever.

Pops: I'll do what I can.

Genette: These people, it's like they're walking a tightrope that could snap at
any second. They're all going to reach their breaking point sooner or later.

Pops: Yeah...

TRANSCRIPT

(It is raining heavily at Sand Island. The squadron have left for another
mission. We see Genette in the crew room near the sofa Nagase was sitting
before.)

Genette V.O.: She had left here book in the crew room.

(Genette picks up Nagase's book, examines the cover and flips through the pages.
The words and pages are damages and pieces of paper with writing attempt to
restore what was on them.)

Genette V.O.: "A Blue Dove for the Princess", that was the title of the book she
left behind. A favourite book from her childhood. The pages had torn off over
the years and she had been writing down the words that were on those pages.
Trying to remember every sentence and every verse.

Nagase V.O.: I love this book so much, but I only have faint memories of what
was inside. I feel I've gotten so far away from everything since then.

Genette V.O.: I remember how she looked when she told me that. I couldn't help
from wondering, did she choose to crash on purpose, rather then being force to
take part in the invasion of another country.

TRANSCRIPT

(The scene opens with a panoramic shot of a snowy forest. As the camera moves,
we see Nagase pointing her handgun at an enemy soldier with the rescue team
behind her.)

Genette V.O.: When the rescue team found her, she has holding a group of
soldiers who were sent in to capture her. Behind her were the helicopter crew
who crashed while trying to rescue her. She had saved them, treated their wounds
and hidden them in a safe place. I needed to rethink my image of her after this,
after witnessing her amazing toughness and tenacity. She even managed to obtain
a little information about the soldiers she captured. It seemed the people of
Yuktobania were also beginning to have doubts about their leaders in the current
war. And word of Nagase's squadron was getting around, as the force who sunk two
of their most powerful submarines. The Yuke army soldiers had nicknamed them
"The Demons of Razgriz". She was obviously very proud of that when she told me
about it later. Perhaps her pride was for Captain Bartlett, the man who had
trained them, or perhaps it was for her current captain. However, none of the
officers in the upper echelons of their own army was proud of them, Bartlett was
still missing, and that made his old trainees the subject of suspicion and
criticism.

TRANSCRIPT

(Pops and Genette are outside a hanger, inside in the remains of a Yuke plane)

Pops: Look at that wreckage. I'm amazed they're still making 'em like this.

Genette: They?

Pops: This looks like a standard fighter jet, but it's actually different.
They've done a lot of things to reduce the number of parts and cut down
manufacturing costs. Without sacrificing the planes strength and performance.
Very cost effective, you could make three planes for the price of two this way.

Genette: Who's this 'they' you're referring to?

Pops: North Osea Grunder industries. Formally the South Belka munitions factory.
Run by the Belkan government.

Genette: But Osea has taken over that land now, South Belkan technology is being
used for Osea. Why does Yuktobania have this?

Pops: Good question. Actually, speaking of Belka. Osea recruited some Belkan
flying aces after the war fifteen years ago to strengthen our air force. You
know about this?

Genette: No.. Really?

Pops: An aggressor squadron comprised entirely of Belkan aces, our old enemy.
Well, that's the rumour anyway. Even an old fox like me is sure they exist. I
bet the current administration isn't even aware of the story.

Genette V.O.: The so-called 'impenetrable fortress' fell in half a day. And the
momentum of the Osean army had reached a peak. It's final stronghold lost the
Yuktobanian army was setting up a barricade in the urban area up ahead. The next
battle could see a lot of bloodshed, with innocent civilians caught in the
crossfire. However, the men and officers of the Osean army were optimistic. They
thought as long as the three fighters from Sand Island were taking part in the
action, everything would turn out alright. They had become the centre of the
armies' strength now.

TRANSCRIPT

(Genette and Pops are sitting the crew bunk room talking, Kirk is lying on the
floor near his bowl.)

Genette: Would it surprise you if I said the President Harling is nowhere to be
found in the capital?

Pops: Not really. The hard-line war Osea's waging right now, hardly resembles
the peace policy the President was promoting. Let me guess, he disappeared just
before we invaded Yuktobania right?

Genette: Exactly! My journalist friends tell me that nobody has seen him enter
or leave the office since. All of his decisions are communicated through the
Vice President. And it gets better, a lot of the military officers who resigned
in disagreement with the Presidents arms reductions planes have started to
return to the capital.

Pops: I found out something myself, that Belkan aggressor squadron I was telling
you about, apparently they're called the 8492nd squadron. Also, and here's the
kicker, Captain Hamilton, the adjutant base commander here, was assigned to the
8492nd.

Genette: What!

(There is a roar or fighter jets outside. Pops looks out of the window.)

Pops: Oh, they're back.

(We now see the three planes taxiing back to the hangers.)

Nagase: There's no point talking to that blockhead commander. He treated our
President like an idiot, just because he wanted peace.

Grimm: What about his adjutant Captain Hamilton?

Nagase: Rodger that, the captain and I will go see him, Grimm you go let Genette
and Pops know.

Grimm: Right, be careful.

(We are back in the bunk room, Grimm is now with them.)

Genette: What!? Nagase and the captain went to see Hamilton?

Grimm: What is it! Did I do something wrong?

Pops: Let's hurry!

Genette: You got it!

(Genette, Pops and Grimm walk to Perrault's office.)

Pops: We don't have time to warn the Captain and Nagase, we'll have to talk to
the Base Commander ourselves.

(They enter Perrault's office.)

Perrault: Thank you for coming second lieutenant. I was just thinking about
calling you over.

Pops: Me?

Perrault: Special Forces, Second lieutenant Peter N. Beagle, or I guess you
prefer "Pops". Fifteen years ago, you and Bartlett were shot down over enemy
terrain. Bartlett's squadron HQ was destroyed, and all it's data was fried by
Belkas magnetic pulse weaponry. When you made it back to the allied front lines,
it was Bartlett's word that convinced them you were his squadron leader. Is that
really true.

(Perrault raises a handgun concealed behind his back and points it at Pops.)

Perrault: Bartlett turned out to be a spy, so, who are you really?

(Pops, Genette and Grimm slowly back towards the office door.)

Perrault: Can't prove anything about your military record, can you?

(Grimm, obscured by Genette turns out the lights in the room, using this moment
of confusion to escape. As they run Perrault starts shooting wildly, one bullet
narrowly missing Genette's head).

Pops: This way!

Perrault: Arrest 'em on sight, they're spies, shoot them if you have to!

(It is still dark around Sand Island, soldiers armed with assault riffles patrol
the apron. A spotlight moves around the area and passes along a container which
Pops, Nagase, Blaze, Genette and Kirk are hiding behind. Only the squadron
member are armed with handguns and they keep a close watch.)

Genette: Hamilton's got the base commander deceived too.

Nagase: I punched that guy's lights out. That bastard was wearing a Major's
insignia on his shoulder.

Genette: I don't know who it is, but someone's trying to widen the rift between
the two countries and keep this war going. If Osea continues to win, then this
war will be over.

Nagase: And they're after us to prevent that? Your kidding!

Genette: You people are the pillar of morale for the entire Osean army now.

Pops: And now you know something you were better off not knowing, the
president's disappearance.

Genette: Listen Pops, who exactly are you?

(Footsteps are heard coming towards them, Nagase prepares herself, Grimm runs to
the container breathing heavily.)

Grimm: It's not good, they've seized our planes in the hangers.

Pops: Hanger C in the rear probably isn't so heavily guarded.

Grimm: Yeah, but over there, there's nothing but...

Pops: Will escape with my training jets. Good thing I maintain all of my planes
well eh? Let's try it. Genette, you take the seat behind me.

(The squadron roll out of the hanger and get onto the runway, take off and
escape Sand Island.)
