Ranger watched as the entire fleet was on edge in response to the other ships they had encountered, the feelings and what she picked up over the JTN set her on edge as well. There was no actual shooting, yet, but Range could feel the tension growing in the air and knew that it was likely inevitable. When she had the chance she slowly began preparing her airplanes. Bringing up her dive bombers first and the P51s second.<br/><br/>The mini mental models of herself were all running around like mad to get things prepared for the coming battle, even a few were dressed like firefighters and brandishing fire extinguishers should the carrier be hit. The propellers on the aircraft began to rev up and several mini models ran across the deck with small flags, ready to wave off the pilots. Range's own<em>adult </em>model was deactivated to conserve processing power to help aid her fighters.<br/><br/>The sound of the torpedos detonating caused a few of the Mini models to shiver and duck, but soon they got their game back together and waved the fighters off.<div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button"> The Dauntless Dive Bombers</div><div class="spoiler_body"> (http://www.aviation-history.com/douglas/sbd-2em.jpg)</div></div>took off first into the sky with a roar of their engines, three of them in total taking off quickly before Ranger heard the first of the rounds fired and saw them race across the sky.<br/><br/>"Come on hurry up!" She shouted and watched as the first of her P51's took off into the air, the mannequin like model sitting in the cockpit turning his head to watch the fight and following after the dive bombers before putting itself in the lead.<br/><br/>The four planes made a loose Delta shape and moved in perfect unison towards the enemy ships, moving at random to avoid stray shots and ducking or doing barrel rolls. Range had wanted to tell Ari what she was doing, but was afraid of how she would react should she mention her airplanes.<em>'I'm sure she will forgive me if I take out an enemy ship or two.' </em>She thought with an almost predatory edge in her mind.
