However, the mysterious international organization “CANY,” long rumored to be colluding with military high commands worldwide, secretly seized control of the military. They plotted to subvert the entire world from within using a new class of weapons that had never reached actual deployment. The Allied Command Headquarters, quickly detecting the unsettling movements across nations, secretly assembled the world's finest fighter planes and their pilots.
