10,000 feet above the beach aboard a Corona Dropship:
As the Corona soared closer to the beach, Cyrus punched Raphael across the shoulder. "Hey! Wake up brother. Dropzone is coming up." He said walking to the ramp of the dropship and punching the release. The door slowly lowered to reveal clear blue skies. Cyrus smiled as he felt the cool air whip across his bare chest, the only thing he was wearing were swim trunks...
Raphael sighed, being that he let Cyrus talk him into this stupid stunt. Yet, deep down he knew he loved it. He too was bare chested, only wearing swim trunks. His wings tucked tightly to his body to not catch air to early. He moved to the ramp and stood on the opposite side of Cyrus. "You sure you are up for this? Think you might be a little rusty." Raphael teased.
"Oh really? Think my new mods won't be able to hold up? You know I used to do drops in the dark with a full kit right? This is a cake walk with my new limbs." He shot back. He looked at the crew chief who nodded. "Try and keep up Raph!" He said before sprinting down the ramp and into the open sky.
Raphael smirked and dove down after him. His wings still tucked in tight, the two fell in tandem, slowly circling each other in a straight nose dive. As the pair reached 2000 feet, they both spread their arms slowing their rapid descent. Once they were stable, Cyrus activated some new augmentations he always wanted to try. Several panels on his arms and legs opened like aerobrakes which increased his surface area and allowed to further slow his descent. Raphael mentally shook his head and opened his wings. doing the same. As they both neared the water, Cyrus deactivated his aerobrakes and turned himself into a cannonball. Hit hit the water with so much force that a normal man's legs would have snapped. Raphael on the other hand gracefully glided down, slowly circling the beach before he dipped low and flew mere inches above everyone's heads. He laughed as he did his fly by and pencil dived into the sea behind Cyrus's massive cannon ball splash.
