Early that morning
Abraham, Marie, Tommy and Catherine were in a bunker with other soldiers and scientists.
Albert Einstein was among the group. Apparently, he managed to escape D.C when the invaders attacked and he managed to get to Moscow a few hours after Abraham, Marie and Tommy.
"We have the missile ready, ma'am," a scientist said to Catherine.
"What will happen if this fails?" Tommy asked.
"I have calculated the time," Einstein said "If the nuclear missile fails, the Martins can conquer the Earth in about six days."
"The same number of days it took to create it," said Marie
"Attention. Attention," someone's voice crackled over an intercom. "Please put on your emergency goggles. When the bomb goes off, do not look directly into the light."
Everyone grabbed a pair of goggles from a scientist and put them on. Abraham, Catherine, Marie and Tommy then joined Einstein and a few other scientists at a scientist at a sandbag wall against a concrete wall. They looked out and saw a tripod and few floating war machines coming towards them. They were about two miles away.
"The missile can' be launched, so we're going to drop it on them," Catherine's main advisor said to her.
"Alright, everyone get ready," she said.
"Ten seconds to detonation," the voice on the intercom said "nine…eight…seven…six…five…four…three…two…one…"
BOOM! An explosion lit up the whole area. Everyone covered their eyes or looked away as the light and heat swept through them. Then, the blast wave swept through the bunker.
"Einstein, what can you see?" Abraham shouted to him. Einstein grabbed a pair of binoculars and looked through them. Through the binoculars, Einstein could see something moving.
"I can see something moving," he shouted to Abraham. Einstein looked through the binoculars again and he saw the tripod and floating war machines come out of the dust cloud, completely unscathed.
"They haven't even been touched," Einstein shouted to Abraham. Everyone else heard him.
A few moments passed before the blast wave stopped. When it did, everyone took off their goggles.
"It's hopeless," said Abraham "Guns! Tanks! Bombs. They're like toys against them!"
"It'll only end one way," said Tommy "We're beaten,"
"No," said Catherine "We're not beaten yet. Order an evacuation of the city. We will fight them all the way to the Egyptian borders. Hopefully, we will have help waiting there for us."
"And if there's no help there?" said Abraham.
"Then God help us," Catherine replied. She walked back towards the city with her advisors and scientists.
"We're in for a rough time." Abraham said to Marie and Tommy.
One hour later
People were still evacuating from the city. Only ¼ of the population had managed to escape so far.
"How are we doing?" Catherine asked her main advisor.
"¼ of the population is out so far ma'am," the advisor replied.
"Good. Let's get ready to leave."
VVVVRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOMM! Catherine shot around and ran to the palace overlook. Her worst fears came true.
A tripod had pushed It's way out of the trees and was now firing at the city. One of the lasers hit the side of the palace, creating an explosion.
"GET EVERYONE OUT OF THE CITY!" Catherine screamed. Her advisors ran towards the steps that led to the building's foyer.
Outside, chaos was in the streets. People were rushing around to try and get out of the city or find a place to hide as the invaders closed in. Abraham and Marie were helping Catherine's scientists pack important document into a truck.
"I hope Catherine makes it out of there," said Abraham.
"Same here," one of the scientists replied. Marie handed him a box of documents.
"Good luck," the scientist said to the two as the truck drove away. Catherine came running out moments later. Her two advisors close behind her.
"Quickly, into my helicopter," she said. The group ran towards a building across the street. They burst through the building entrance and ran up some steps to the roof. A pilot was waiting for them.
"Hurry," he shouted to the group. They quickly got in and the helicopter took off. Just in time as well because, seconds later, a laser went underneath the helicopter hit the building, destroying it completely. Another laser missed the helicopter and hit the palace, reducing that to rubble as well.
"GO!" Abraham yelled at the pilot. The pilot drove the helicopter away from the advancing tripod. Just as they were near the heart of the city, a laser hit the back of their helicopter. The craft span out of control and headed straight for the Kremlin.
"EVERYONE GET DOWN!" Abraham yelled.
Seconds later, there was an explosion.
