Top Gun 20th Gen Saga

The runway shimmered like liquid steel beneath the rising sun. Kael Riven stood alone at the edge of Hangar Seven, flight helmet tucked under his arm, watching the silhouettes of aircraft breathe. They didn’t idle anymore—not the way old jets once had. These machines waited. The Aquila-X9, a 20th-generation air superiority fighter, unfolded its wings slightly as Kael approached. Its surface rippled, adapting to atmospheric pressure before it even left the ground. “Pilot recognized,” the aircraft said—not aloud, but directly inside his skull. “Heart rate elevated. Emotional state: defiant.” Kael smirked. “Yeah? Get used to it.” This was the Skyborne Combat Institute, where the world’s best pilots came to either become legends—or vanish into classified reports. Above them, contrails crossed like scars in the sky. And today, the sky would choose who deserved to fly.
