KABOOM!
An explosion rocks the village with a thundering force, creating an almost earthquake like situation. All the Smurfs in the village ran out of their homes to see what's going on, they saw large amounts of smoke rising throughout the sky from a Mushroom house nearest to the body of water that the Smurfs Village sits by. Papa Smurf rushed outside and asked, "What's going on!"
"It's Chernov's house Papa Smurf," cried Handy, "It got smurfed again!"
Chernov is a 4 apple tall green Smurf, he is quite skinny and he wears a camouflaged smurf hat, jacket, and pants. He was known for his Chemistry experiments but this time is different, usually when an explosion occurs inside Chernov's house it blows out the windows and doors. But this time his entire home was blown to smithereens scattering pieces of it everywhere, and a fire as taken it's place.
"Quick my smurfs!" cried Papa Smurf, "Put out the fire!"
Most of the smurfs grabbed a bucket or whatever that they can used that can carry liquid and rushed over to the lake, scoop up some water, throw it on the fire, and repeat. There was nothing left of Chernov's house, just a burning wreckage of a mushroom house. The smurfs had no hope on finding Chernov alive but right now the Village must come first, however there is a more grave danger.
Chernov's house is full of chemicals, more like stained with them. The most abundant chemical compound in his house is Sodium Chloride, table salt, the salt has been stained deep into the basement of Chernov's house after about a year of experimenting with Sodium Chloride. Most of the Sodium Chloride Chernov has is locked up in the basement, which is quite safe from the fire.
But the smurfs don't know that, they were tossing in water from the lake and into the basement rather than putting out the fire. Handy managed to find a mechanical pump hose and it used pressure to spray water out of a hose and into the flames, for some reason the fires don't fissile out. That's because it's loaded with Sodium, and the more Sodium heats up the faster it will burn.
After 20 minutes of pouring water onto the flames, the fires began to increase in size. The basement is now loaded with water and it dissolves the Sodium Chloride in the basement making the water salty, suddenly the foundation gives inward and whats left of the structure implodes straight into the saltwater filled basement. The Sodium fires made contact with the saltwater and violently reacted, causing it to explode.
The second explosion sprays the Smurfs who were putting out the fire with steaming Sodium Hydroxide, this caused the Smurf's blue skin to burn and they all scream for mercy. Papa Smurf can't believe his eyes, he sees smurfs collapsing on the ground and noticed their skin was being burned away. Some smurfs managed to dive into the nearby body of water but that's not good enough.
To top it off, the Sodium causes a massive amounts of Hydrogen and Oxygen to be released from the water and it fueled the flames. The nearby trees are beginning to burn and the Smurfs were running out of options, Papa Smurf doesn't know a clue about Chemistry so this is a major blunder for the Village Leader. "Papa Smurf!" cried Hefty as he comes running by, "Look at my hand!"
Papa Smurf looked at Hefty's hand, it was severely burned and the skin was literally being peeled off. "I didn't touch any flames Papa Smurf!" he cried, "This stuff got onto my hand and it started burning it, I tried pouring water on it but it doesn't seem to help!"
Injured Smurfs retreat as more fresher Smurfs take their place, they have no clue how to treat Chemical Burns as Chernov is the only one in the Village who knows about Chemistry. Now he's dead and what's left of his house is threatening to take the village along with him, as Handy sprays more water into the flames he made the situation even worse.
Chernov's house is the only Mushroom House in the entire Village to be powered by electricity, which he used for lighting, power high tech computers, and to split apart Chemical Compounds. Electrical wires made contact with the saltwater and made a current, the saltwater begins to be degraded fueling the fire with more Sodium and Hydrogen but now Chlorine is out to play.
There were a few gas tanks Hydrogen, Oxygen, Acetylene, Methane, and Carbon Dioxide including a few small bottle size gas tanks full of Chlorine, which were easily knocked into the saltwater which was now boiling. The boiling water is about 140 degrees Celsius, as hot as a Kitchen Stove, it's heating those gas canisters up until they can't hold their contents anymore.
They all explode at once, the third explosion has created more fires which begins to heat up the air to 43 degrees Celsius. The Smurfs can literally feel the heat, it made the injured Smurfs' chemical burns hurt even more. The heat from the Methane, Acetylene, and Oxygen caused the Hydrogen to bond to the Chlorine creating Hydrochloric Acid. A stronger and deadlier type of acid.
As the water slowly turns into acid, it gives off Chlorine gas. Since the gas is heavier than air it stays put in the basement for now, but it's soon was sucked into the Sewage line leading to the Septic tank. The acidic water shot into the Septic Tank and causes the sewage to give off more Chlorine, which soon begins to travel through the other pipelines and into the Smurf's homes.
Since the Chlorine effects are immediate, the Smurfs rushed back out into the blazing heat to escape the Chlorine. Some of the Sodium traveled through the pipelines and got into the Septic tank were it reacts and ignites the Methane inside the Septic Tank causing it to explode and rupture, spraying a part of the village with Smurf Fecal Matter and shot ungodly amounts of both Fecal Matter, Hydrochloric and Sodium Hydroxide acids, and more Chlorine Gases into the Smurfs' homes.
The temperature begins to rise once more, the electricity was still going and it literally energizes the flames with charged particles and fire begins to spread to the other Smurf houses, seeing that the situation is hopeless Brainy packs his backs and abandons the village as the Smurfs ran out and scream.
Hope soon came as a thunderstorm builds overhead, there was already a column of smoke drifting up towards the sky and the rain soon came pouring down. Papa Smurf soon realized that the rainy season was rough this part of the year, the Village Dam can't hold back the water and with no Smurfs around to make sure it doesn't burst... it burst.
A wave of water crashes through the valley and drowned the village with floodwater, to the Smurfs it was hell but the final stage was yet to come. As the floodwater swoops over the Sodium Fire at Chernov's house, all the Chlorine that as build up shot out like a rocket and the water contacted the acid as the electricity was still tearing apart it's molecules. The Sodium that hasn't contacted the water made contact with it and it explodes, shooting more flames in all directions.
The electricity charged up the water close to Chernov's house, Handy and other smurfs who were swept near the house were immediately electrocuted and were killed. Chemical reactions soon take hold and the floodwater becomes acidic and begins to turn green, bright green. And thanks to the Chlorine gas which was scattered all over the place bonds with the Hydrogen in the water and created more Hydrochloric Acid.
It becomes so concentrated with Hydrochloric Acid that Mushroom houses that were sticking out of the flood waters were being literally melting away, Smurfs who managed to get on top of the roofs of the buildings were soon killed by choking on the Chlorine gas or being Chemically bathed into the Hydrochloric Acid.
Papa Smurf and a few remaining Smurfs climbed up some trees to escape the Hydrochloric Acid and the Chlorine Gas, the Village leader can't believe of the destruction that was being unleashed upon the Smurfs. He saw Vanity Smurf hanging on top of a tree for dear life and he lost his grip, Papa Smurf watched in horror as Vanity falls into the Hydrochloric Acidic Water. The Smurf screams in pain as he almost immediately dissolves into goo right before Papa Smurf's eyes, "It's over," muttered Papa Smurf as he noticed that the Hydrochloric Acid was eating away at the base of the tree.
He jumps off the tree and grabs hold of another as he watched that tree topple over and literally gets dissolved into the acid, finally the wind picked up and it scoops up the Chlorine Gas below and took it upwards. The pale yellow green gas engulfs Papa Smurf, his eyes immediately burned and he can't no longer breathe. His instinct was to climb higher which he did, only to find there is no more tree to climb.
Papa Smurf took off his hat and tried to use it as a gas mask, he no longer hears his fellow smurfs screaming. He only hears the roar of the Chemical Firestorm building below, the air temperature soon reached 60 degrees Celsius and Papa Smurf succumbed to the heat. Blind and unable to breathe, he lets go of the tree and looses consciousness.
Before he lands in the acid, Feathers came out of nowhere and caught the fortunate Smurf with his foot and carried him out of the firestorm. Smurfette happened to have escape the Chemical Storm before hand and tries her best to run as fast as she can, she was literally barefoot as she kicked off her high heels so she could run faster. Behind her was the Chlorine Gas Cloud and it was catching up to her, right before the gas swallowed her whole Feathers swoop down and grabbed Smurfette with his other foot and carried both Smurfs to safety.
It's not over, it has only just begun. No place in le Pays maudit is safe from the Chemical Nightmare, Chlorine gas soon gets sucked up to the storm above and it mixes with the water to form more Hydrochloric Acid. This Chemical Disaster should be given it's own name, it would be called Toxic Corrosion. When the last of the Mushroom Houses in the Smurf Village have been destroyed, the acid became so hot that it caught fire.
More Chlorine Gas was soon released, more Chemical Reactions took place. If you were to be in a plane a few kilometers up above the region, the Toxic Corrosion would be nothing more than a firefly. But don't be fooled at the small size, this environmental disaster would soon touch the entire le Pays maudit. There is no escape, surrounded by a desert and an ocean, everybody who lives here is trapped. But they're not going down without a fight, and some might be able to survive.
Especially the Human beings who live here...
