"...I'll leave the driving to you two then. We just need to head north."
Dark turns to V as she sets her pot out next to her.
"...Well,
good on you for considering yourself for once."
"...You're mean."
Vinessa, glancing at Jack and Thompson with visible discomfort, just sheds her vine armour as she moves her flower form into her pot.
"Neever said I was nice."
"Hmph."
Despite that, Dark smiles softly, though not like anyone is likely to have noticed as he picks up V's pot, before heading into the truck with V's pot in hand.

<–——= The Daybreak Airbase: Airstrike =——–>
The two forward jets would roll over and descend while turning, the front one launching a pair of anti-tank missiles at nearest worm, before both roll back and climb hard to gain altitude, continuing to roll onto their other side, front jet launching missiles horizontally over the base, which then explode into a shower of flaming white phosphorous which descends over the airfield. The rear jet meanwhile would line up for the first building it sees, proceeding to drop both cluster and napalm bombs onto it...
The nearest worm, out of 5 in total, is taken out, causing some instability in the flame vortex shield.
Such that while all the missiles, cluster and napalm bombs, and such, are all fired
outside the shield, with most of them initially being stopped by the shield, some still manage to pierce through to deal some damage to the airbase itself. A fair bit less than the damage that would've been caused had the shield been up, unfortunately. But at least some mages and people scrambling to mobilise combat platoons and vehicles are taken out, along with some of the mages posted on the defence.
As the rear jet passes by, however, a pair of plasma laser blasts are fired at it from behind, aimed at its wings, obviously aiming to take it down. Similarly, the front jet is fired at with a volley of boulders.
The left flank banks sharply while pitching up, quickly gaining altitude as it spirals, slowly coming back around to head for the base early.
Meanwhile the right flank continues more or less straight.
As the forms continue to grow, one begins to resemble...a hedgehog on four feet, while another resembles some kind of bird.
<--= Inside the Airbase: Featuring Set =-->
As Pearl mentions the dragons, Set may be able notice what appears to be a wyvern-shaped plant tripping over something while another dragon helps it.
"Oh. Well, I'm Kalvess, and the-"
Kalvess is then suddenly cut off by one of the dropped bombs detonating right above the section of the building she is in, shrapnel, debris, and a cloud of dust now being all that is visible where her and the other dragon were just standing.
"Why am I not surprised by this?"
Phospha and Pearl both, meanwhile, jump out of the way of the collapsed roof, some mages in the room on much more alert now, noticing their external defences clearly are already getting penetrated.
"...KALVESS, TARRAH-"
Phospha immediately rushes to the shrapnel and debris pile to try and dig out the two dragons with some telekinesis, Pearl more concerned about the roof potentially caving in on them. Meanwhile, a man in a white cloak runs over...
"...Phospha. That would be the two small dragons we'd recruited just a bit ago in that pile, right?"
Phospha stops digging for them. Not that she was doing it very fast anyway. "...Y-Yes!?"
"...Forget about them. We'll cover the rest of the defences. Just...
get your people out of here, alright? The portal's just over there."
