Description "Only those with the courage and tenacity to overcome the most terrible odds can be a true member of Der Schwarz Fuchsgeschwader.  It takes more than just knowing how to fly a plane.  It takes the skill and cunning ways of the fox to be a true hunter of the skies.  Honor, loyalty, and duty above all.  A willingness to give your life for that in which you believe in with your whole heart.
THAT is what makes up a TRUE hero of The Black Fox Squadron."
~Oberst Anna-Katrin von Bödeker, co-commander of Der Schwarz Fuchsgeschwader, in a speech to new recruits, May, 1944.Oberst Anna-Katrin von Bödeker had this medal commissioned in early 1944, when she joined Generalleutnant Adolf Galland as co-commander of a newly formed experimental jet fighter squadron.  Worn on the left tunic pocket and similar to a Panzer Badge , it was awarded to all men who served in the squadron after their return from their first mission.

863 were awarded posthumously. 

Upon completion of 25 missions, the bearer would receive a gold version to replace the original silver one.


(As an aside, TheEvilColonel , this is also the medal that was given to Commander Valentine by Anna-Katrin for his birthday.)

Anna-Katrin:  You little flea-bitten bastard.  Just you wait until I get my hands on you.  I'm going to wring your scrawny neck for what you did.  And believe me, weasels can fly.  Rather far, in fact.

Especially when dropped from a very tall building with a rock tied to their tail....

(Thanks!  I appreciate the compliment!  And it's all good....I'm on a Jesse-hunt....  )

Jesse: Uhm, that is not flying. It's falling. 
    And, um, what would you do if I, well, put sugar in your gas tank, and put corrosive acid on your propeller. *Snickers*

Anna-Katrin:  Flying, falling, it's all the same.  Depends on whether or not you just get dropped.....or launched.

And you go near any of my squadron and my boys will have you skewered on a roasting spit faster than you can go *POP*, my flea-bitten squirrelly friend!  *devilish grin*

"She suddenly feels a pressure on her head as Jesse reappears. His slightly human face is twisted in an annoyed scowl as he cleans a revolver."
Jessie: Look, Annie, the correct term is a weasel. Ferret and raccoon are acceptable as well. *Bends down like a C and looks into Anna's face. It is red and full of rage.* Just to mention, you are quite cute like that. *Jumps down, shakes, and walks off.* Then again, I've always had a thing for slightly crazy gals.

Anna-Katrin:  Why you little fleabag!

*I draw my Luger and fire off a shot at the weasel's head.  Unfortunately, the rage has me trembling and my shot misses by mere inches.  I let out a string of curses as my pistol jams when I try to get off another shot*

You'll pay for all of that, you little shite.  I can promise you that!

Jesse: Now, now, please, you could hurt someone with that. 
   *Scoffs* Not me, though. I've done some bad stuff. Trampled by a horse, almost eaten by vultures, got into a staring contest with an iguana, nearly pierced by a bayonet, tried stealing a banana from Wukong, and I tried to channel my inner mungoose and was bitten by a rattlesnake. The Wild West were good times. *Sighs sadly and looks at the ground.* I miss ol' JJ. Them outlaws sure knew how to use guns.
     *Looks at the seething redhead, who is desperately trying to get her jammed gun to work* Ehm, Annie, small tip from the pro... try a revolver, they don't jam.

Jesse: *Dodges nonchalantly, Shrugs twice, tosses an unloaded revolver at Anna, along with a bag of bullets* I did nothing, I simply have a thing with weapons. Bellona likes me. *Grins impishly* Though I did manage to empty your clip *drops the rounds to the floor with a cling, wags eyebrows beneath aviator's glasses*, but I forgot about the one in the chamber. Well, it was an honest mistake. 
   Though I do need to tell you something; *suddenly he runs at her with the speed of a cat, up the inside of her pant leg, up her jacket and exits at the collar, he pulls her in and cups his snout to her ear* Come closer, closer....: You're cute; the Cadet's got taste when it comes to women. *Snickers, small impish peck on the cheek, then leaps for safety- Suspension in midair lasts longer than suspected, though.*

*I let out a screech as you leap off my shoulder, waving my hands in the air, furiously rubbing at my cheek and trying to grab at you at the same time*

Anna-Katrin:  You glorified rotten squirrel!  You have NO IDEA who you're dealing with!!

*My fingers somehow manage to wrap around your tail and I pull, HARD*

Come back here, you little mongrel!

Jesse: For the last time, Weasel. Come on, it's three syllables, three. Wea-sel. Wee-sell. It's easy. 
      *Tail is grabbed. I scream in surprise. Dangle upside down.* Woohoo! *Slightly pained wincing.* You got a mean grip. Could you please let me down? *Glasses disappear. Puppy dog eyes activated [Think of the cutest raccoon cub ever].*

I hope he did not cause too much trouble... Anyways, I'm not taking any chances this time. Anna, *sqiunts* search him!

THIS CLOSE!!! Now what?! Now we need to wait, oh, for the next time that a**hole decides to show up! And not to mention all of the- *stops* Huh... *smile stretches across his face* Anna...

*30 minutes of Beethoven's Fifth later, all of Jesse's stuff has been neatly sorted out on the carpet in the middle of the office*

Valentine: *wiping the sweat off his forehead* Hah! A job well done! Now... with these toys we might actually have some leverage in the future negotiations! No, don't look at me like that! Can't you see that the force doesn't work? It's been three times already! That weird snake-cat is going to want to have all of this stuff back and then we can voice our demands!
...
Yeeeaaah, I haven't thought that much in advance... I honestly don't know what to demand... Hey, why don't you demand an official apology for doing "that" to you? It's a good start!

But who knows what the weasel has in store? He cackles maniacally in the darkness, blowtorch in hand and blueprint illuminated by the dimmed, flickering light from a dying lightbulb. He has friends, hairy, thumb-having, banana-eating friends... and one with quite the large staff - whom he still hasn't convinced to fight the oppressive, spiritless reign of Commander Valentine. 

Jesse: How many bananas, Wukong? C'mon, give me a number!
Wukong: It is not about the price, but about reason. Have you not been through enough?
Jesse: No, I want my weapons back - and I want to melt a few jet wings.

*Dominic and Anna-Katrin are spending their time drinking merily, watching the Lifeguards form perfect squares in the garden from the balcony, making jokes at everyone's expense, danging some waltzes across the office and, of course, a little of romantic kissing. They try to make the best out of their free time since their vacation at the villa got postponed, again, due to 'unforeseen circumstances'... again.*

Jesse: Come on! I mean, you're no longer bound to One Side, Wukong. You can go wherever you want to...
*The monkey hangs his head. Jesse looks apologetic. 
Jesse: Sorry, I kinda... forgot. 
Wukong: It is okay. I am just a bit worried. 
Jesse: 'Bout what? *Puts down blowtorch. Takes of glasses and eye patch* 
Wukong: I have not heard Arthur in a long time. I feel his distress, but his presence is being supressed somehow.
Jesse: Markov? Don't tell me that f*cker is here too. I thought we got rid of him in Seattle when everything went black. Lucky for me that I have been here before. 
Wukong: It might be Markov, but I do not think so. This enemy is even more powerful. I think it is the Queen. 
Jesse: *Pulls at neck fur* I'd forgotten about her. That might cause some trouble. *A tremor is felt throughout the Spirit World, throwing Jesse and Wukon on to their backs.* Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit - not good, not good, not goooood!

(Yeah, so this is basically before what happens with Markov and Valentine and the fire and the chaining.)

(Ah! Got it! So... is this basically a loose end or..? Because it seems that we are slowly moving towards merging all of these timelines, which would actuallly be lovely since I am not that good at following different timelines of the same plot simultaneously yet XD)

Valentine: Alright dear... I'm gonna take a short walk in the city and go meet some of my old pals on the way. The barons, yes. Wanna come with me or... Of course we are going to a pub! Why do y- *ducks and runs outside before getting seriously injured* Crazy woman...

HobbyWriter In reply to TheEvilColonel [2016-05-25 18:11:22 +0000 UTC]

( Yes, I think so. The fact that Jesse has made a fool out of the commander on so many occassions and parts of the two universes merging somewhat into each other would make a great idea. I have actually thought about this, but this would make an awesome story - once we reach the end of this of course. Now, to the next. )

* 'Crazy woman,' Valentine sighs as he slowly makes his way outside [I think he lives in an apartment-ish building, which is why I tell it like this]; however, he had not made it farthenr than the stairs until he caught sight of an elderly, silver-haired man in strange clothing. Valentine frowns, praying for not another situation like Jesse, and he nodded courteously as he placed his foot onto the first step.

Person: *Arms crossed, leaning against the wall* Yes, she is a crazy woman, but they are also the greatest wives - if it's the right kind of crazy, that is. Good luck.
    *Valentine nodded in agreement with the stranger's statement, but then his eyes opened wide as he suddenly registered the stranger's presence and words. He twisted around and bounded up the stairs, prepared to pounce and maybe skewer the stranger, but he found nothing but an empty hallway. There was as if there had been no stranger.*


(Sorry, but I had the Skipper, now I needed another character from his universe - no, he's not gonna be reoccuring. It was a cameo from the too-be-great Kanis Lhycàn)

[Sadly, Markov killed her husband. You do not want to mess with her husband. He was a gentle, Chinese giant, but he had fists of steel and bullet kicks.])
