Chapter 6

Shanghai, PRC

20th December 2012

It was afternoon in Shanghai, a bustling city in China with a population of 18,884,600. It was the most prosperous city of China; the city was been divided into two parts by the Yangtze River. The Pudong area was a place of commercialization and capitalism. Skyscrapers like Oriental Pearl Tower, Jin Mao Tower and Shanghai World Financial Tower dominated the skyline while on the other side, laid the old Bund building that dated back to the colonial age. This skyline will soon be changed by the most destructive tidal wave which China had anticipated for almost 5000 years.

It was eight o' clock in the night in Shanghai and thousands of people were out their workstations to have a great dinner, party and even one night stands with their colleges or friends. They were been stopped in their tracks when the full moon in the night sky began to disappear. One of them was Arian Chong, an executive from Singapore due to a business meeting and an amateur astrologist.

He took out a pair of binoculars that that had a magnifying power of 50 and he saw a circular shadow began to cover the circumference of the white surface of the moon. He and the citizens of Shanghai watched in awe, as the Earth's shadow was going to cover the moon and turned it bright red in a total eclipse. After 6 minutes later, the moon's surface had turned from white to red.

The joy that Adrian felt had cut short by a sudden warning of a huge tidal wave coming into Shanghai Area in an alarming speed. The public immediately panicked and started to run around like crazy. Adrian tried to follow the panicked public but he was been force to his ass when the public pushed him as they running to higher ground.

He looked around and saw a 30-story building on his right. It was an apartment building. He got up to his knees and started to run toward the building. It was a difficult run as he tried to run horizontally but the panicked public was running in the opposite direction. He fell several times but eventually, he make to the building just in time before the tidal wave hit Shanghai and started to swallow unfortunate citizens of Shanghai.

He ran as fast as possible to the top of the building and saw a 40-meter wave was sweeping into the city. Lights in Pudong and the Bund went off as the water short-circuited the power lines. The Pudong area had submerged under 40 meters of water. He dropped to his knees and looked down. Even though it was the depth of night, yet he could saw the surge was picking up large trucks, cars and even wooden buildings that had an unknown destination. OK, Adrian, you survive it. He mumbled to himself. How worse it could get?

He heard a loud sound from his right. He turned around and saw a bigger surge than the last one, some 400 meters high. The surge also carried a Chinese Nuclear Powered submarine within its wave. He tried to leap down the building but he was been swept away as the 400 meters wave destroyed the Oriental Pearl Tower and the Jin Mao Tower...

Canary Islands, West Coast of Africa

21st December 2012

Time: 12:21 pm

The La Palma volcano was releasing thick columns of steam and small earthquakes rocked the island. The local government had already evacuated the locals on the island to a save location but some of them were willing to risking their lives to stay on the volcano to study the volcano.

Rachel Walter was a USGS geologist who worked with two other geologists to study the recent activities of the volcano. Although she was a scientist, yet she believed the 2012 doomsday prophecy. She looked at her watch and it was 12:22 in the afternoon. The volcano was still pouring out stream and sulphur dioxide.

She entered the makeshift command post at the west flank of the volcano. Not far from there, laid the crack that scientist had discovered a few years ago.

"What is the verdict?" Rachel asked. Her voice was cool and deadly.

"Same as yesterday." The technician replied.

"Earthquakes. Steam columns."

There was a blinking red light on the control panel. The very thing Rachel did not hope looking. They heard a very loud noise and it was the volcano. The volcano which was silenced for almost a thousand years now coming back to life. The volcano had blown the lid off. Rachel immediately called her colleagues to escape from the volcanic eruption. However, she was too late.

The water inside the volcano had overheated by the volcano had exploded the west flank of the volcano. The crack suddenly enlarged to mammoth proportion. It began to slide off from the flank, dragging the makeshift command post down along with Rachel. The flank crashed into the Atlantic Ocean. The displacement of water had created a tsunami which was taller than the Empire State Building of New York. The mega tsunami began its 5 hour journey to destruction.

This chapter took me almost two weeks to compile but I like the way it ends. Starting from Chapter Se7en, this fan-fiction not just tell how the Eds survive 2012 but also of the characters of 'Kids Next Door', 'Dexter's Laboratory', 'Power-Puff Girls' and 'The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy'.

Your feedback is important for this fan-fiction.
