Chapter 6.2: Epilogue
3rd Person POV
A heavily-armed military helicopter flies over an unknown cost. A man inside the helicopter presses a button on his headset and begins to talk into his microphone. "Currently doing a fly over of the mysterious continent, so far no intelligent life spotted." He looks down. His eyes widen. "Holy Crap! I've just spotted a bunch of what looks like soldiers in blue, yellow and red lying face down on one side of the trenches and what looks like a rebel army on the other side of the trenches, also doing face plants, and it's not just the soldiers, a bunch or horses are lying down too. What are they doing?" A female voice replies from his headphones, with a bit of a smirk. "At this point, it doesn't matter. Anyone passed out in a battle obviously not intelligent life." The pilot replies shakily from his helmet. "I'm pulling out. This is just too weird."
(Line break)
Your POV. In a living room.
You switch on the TV, turning to a local news channel. The news anchors step on stage, a man and a woman, of undiscerned descent. The woman shuffles her papers, clearing her through, before looking at the camera. She begins to speak in a clear, controlled voice. "Recently, an Island appeared off the coast of Hawaii, after a light display," she pauses, and then indicates a blurry video, doubtlessly taken from a cell phone. In the video a small dome of light stretches larger and larger, pushing away the land and sea around it. She resumes speaking. "..After a light display which rearranged the area near Hawaii, and appears to have actually increased the size of the earth, although we have maintained our stable orbit, and it seems to not have affected much, as even the satellites orbiting earth have only registered a slight change in the diameter of the earth, and no change in gravity. One of our scientists discusses this phenomenon."
The camera slowly panned left, revealing a pale man, of stocky build, wearing a lab coat. "W-well, r-recently our c-calculations have shown th-that the mass of the earth w-was actually s-slightly higher than our predictions, based on d- diameter and circumference, and the appearance of this landform could explain that, as it could m-mean that it was s-separated from our d- dimension earlier in the history of earth, and it would also explain the myth of Atlantis.." The stammering scientist trailed off, tugging at his lapel slightly before stepping off-stage.
The camera panned right, passing over the female anchor before finally settling on the male anchor. The male anchor began to speak. "Perhaps more interesting is not only the fact that there is a sizable population, but that the entire population appears to be sleeping, although the military has quarantined the island in case their 'sleepiness' in due to an unknown super-virus. More about this strange development later, after sport and local news, and now it's time for a commercial breakā¦"
You turn off the TV, quietly pondering what you had just heard.

Yay! I finish part 1! My first fanfic EVER and I complete it! ON DEADLINE!(kinda.) Eternal thanks to NicoXChiku says Cata, My first reviewer ever. I plan to release chapter one of part two sometime between now and when maniacal chainsaw wielding monkeys fly out of my butt crack (which will happen next Thursday at about 4:30) ***winks***. On a side note, I need help. There are way way WAY too many misplaced fanfics in the +anima section. Please tell their owners politely to move them to their correct section.
Thank you!
p.s. Update early: LIKE A BOSS!
