We'll meet again
Don't know where
Don't know when
But I know we'll meet again
Some sunny day
Across the world, the world governments began immediate drafting able bodied males between the ages of 16-45, and especially the United States military. Russia and China did the same, together becoming the biggest army on the planet. Back home in Michigan, a legendary high school well known for its very own spats and conflicts with Iraq, Syria, Japan, Belarus, Russia, and even the Federal Government of the United States, Wylie E. Groves High School, the command board was flashing red. Taking over and restoring abandoned military bases left over from the cold war, the high school stocked up on B53's, B57's B61's, W87's, W88's, countless nuclear missiles, and even demanded that the Federal Government reintroduce the "Fat Man" and "Little Boy" bombs. Built underground beneath the high school immediately after the September 11th terror attacks by Al-Qaeda in 2001, the massive state of the art nuclear command center, doubling as a massive bunker opened for business by the 2001-2002 school year, under the command of General Trell Brown, who immediately had the center connected to all US military bases, and Washington DC. If the Seat of Government were to be incapacitated, then the military could be run from this hidden, indestructible base. The school may be destroyed, but the center will remain.
Wylie E. Groves high school began stockpiling nuclear missiles and warheads in 2003, a mere month before the Iraq War began, with MULTIPLE underground missile batteries being installed across the cities of Beverly Hills, Southfield, Lathrup Village, Madison Heighs, Hazel Park, Birmingham, Pontiac, Bloomfield Hills, and southward into the City of Detroit, Highland Park, Hamtramck (Elizabeth Cleveland Middle School/Jayne Field/Lasky Playfield), and then eastward into the neighborhoods of the east side of Detroit where abandoned fields were abundant. From there, the installations continued onto Grosse Ille, and north into Grosse Pointe Woods and into Macomb Country, and around Selfridge AFB. Southward, Groves installed missile batteries on the restored NIKE Missile Battery D-57/58 at Newport and North Telegraph Rd in Carleton, Mi.
By 2004, when the General graduated with full honors as a high school senior, the Iraq war was in full swing. Groves continued to amass nuclear stockpiles , threatening to invade and overthrow Capitol Hill themselves if the demands were not met, with the Federal Government wilting under the school's threats. In response, Birmingham Public Schools issued a statement that the high school has gone rogue and will be distancing themselves from the situation, as they could no longer control the militarized students, no doubt, making many parents VERY proud. The school's response was to invade the district office, arresting and imprisoning everyone. Wylie E. Groves then proceeded to militarize Detroit Country Day, Berkshire Middle School, and Greenfield Elementary School.
The school fell into obscurity from then on, occasionally re-appearing in the news because of a major dispute between Delta Airlines and the high school.
Twelve years later, with the breakout of World War Three, Wylie E. Groves shined bright once more.
RRRRRRRRRIIING! RIIIIIIIIIING!
In his apartment, watching the rapidly unfolding events, Trell grabbed his android cell phone and answered. To his surprise, a former teacher, now an assistant principal, answered.
"Good afternoon, General Brown. It's been twelve long years."
"Yes, I know", Trell responded, a smile spreading across his face. "How's it going, Mr. Wilcox?"
"Well, we have a situation down here at the NCC, and the boards are flashing red. I suspect that the city is about to be under attack once more. We've been monitoring the Detroit River and there are about twenty eight to forty-two battleships up and down the Detroit river. Most of them arrived last night. How long will it take you to get here to Groves?"
"Well if the DDOT city buses are even running, most likely three and a half hours. The streets here in the city are void and empty and the gangba-
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMM!
The General's phone went dead as a mortar shell completely decimated his Holcomb st apartment building, killing many of the residents. Mr. Wilcox frantically dialed his number, to no response. He promptly turned on his heels and rushed back to the underground NCC
Trell crawled out from under the debris that was once Lanier Court Apartments, with lacerations, bruises, and a broken arm. As he lived on the top floor, when the building collapsed, everything fell apart around him, with only the roof collapsing on him. Most of the top floor residents also survived. The crazy guy, Charlie, who lived under him didn't fare so well. When the building collapsed, Trell''s entire apartment dropped into the unit below, Killing Charlie instantly.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMM!
Another thunderous and loud roar from the Fire Nation shipson the Detroit River decimated the Cass Corridor, the new Little Caesars Arena that was currently under construction, Comerica Park, Ford Field and Joe Louis Arena.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMM!
Another volley of mortar rounds were fired upon the Renaissance Center GM Headquarters and RenCen Marriott, where the tower collapsed straight down, evoking memories of a dark day fifteen years earlier. The people trapped in the Coach Insignia restaurant had absolutely no chance. A mortar hit Hart Plaza, where it collapsed and imploded in upon itself. The Coleman A. Young Municipal Center took a direct hit, with the building crumbling and toppling over onto Jefferson Avenue. One Woodward Avenue, designed by Minoru Yamasaki took a mortar shell, with the explosion taking out a massive chunk of the side of the building. This building then collapsed onto Woodward Avenue. A rogue mortar round hit the Fox Theatre further up Woodward Avenue, destroying the ancient building.
By the time Selfridge got their planes off the ground, it was too late. The Fire Nation Destroyers had Anti-Aircraft batteries installed on their ships.
BAM!
BAM!
BAM!
BAM!
BAM!
One by one the planes fell. By the time it all ended more than 40,000 across the City of Detroit were dead, with the majority of the city in flames.
