Hello, it's me again ! I was wondering whether or not I should post the second part of the episode right now or if I should wait a week, like I said, but I'd like to stay on the same schedule than the Rewatch event that is happening on Tumblr currently. So I am posting this now ^^

Enjoy !

Episode 2: Ring of Fire, Part 2:

Scott's POV:

"We have to destroy this dish. I need options, Brains. Fast."

It's not that I start to feel pressured, but I sure start to feel pressured. If this mission is a failure it isn't two or three lives that we are going to lose – although it would already be way too much – but possibly more than a hundred! By the Hood's hands. We can't allow that. We can't let this city burn. To tell the truth, failure is not an option.

"Yeah!" My friend answers, showing me a modelization of the solar collector through my 3D projection device. "The primary support arm. Remove that and the entire dish will detach. I'm sending you coordinates now."

Think fast, Scott. Do you have any other option to save everyone? Forget the electronical way, it doesn't work. Virgil can't move the dish manually either, because it would crush the control room. Oh, and those people still need to get out of here by the way. Ok, looks like you have no choice, after all.

"Virgil, get the engineers out." I call through the radio, already heading for the ladder. "I'm taking out the dish."

"Are you sure about this?" My brother asks.

He doesn't like this plan any more than I do. If I cut the dish, not only will my life be in danger, but so will his and the engineers'. But we have no choice, and I know he knows it. The sun is rising, already causing damages to the city. We can't risk several hundred existences just for the safety of our owns. Not even for the safety of three other people. The city comes first. Besides, I have another argument he can't complain against.

"It's what Dad would have done."

Silence in the radio. I'm not sure Virgil agrees with me on this, but at least, he doesn't say anything. He must know how much I need to be sure I'm doing the right thing. I don't care if it means putting my own life in danger.

I'm outside again. I don't lose any more time and start climbing the primary support arm. Somewhere in the background, I can hear Thunderbird Two getting closer to the control room. Once I'm at the base of the dish, I start lazering.

"Virgil, I'm cutting my way through." I tell my brother, praying for him to be already out with the engineers.

I can hear him talking to them through the radio, but I have no idea where he is. Let's just hope he has finished rescuing them. The last metal bar gives away. I just have the time to grab the dish before it starts falling.

Ok, now I really need to get out of here. I can finally see my brother. He is hanging on Thunderbird Two's rescuing seats, next to the three engineers. I knew he could do it! Damn, this thing is falling fast! Come on, Scott, stop thinking or you will be the one needing a rescue. You just have to make this fucking jet pack works.

It doesn't work…

"The heat must have fried my jet pack!"

OoOoO

Virgil was securing his hold on the cable and making sure that the engineers could not fall when he heard his older brother's cry. His heart froze. What did he mean by "fried jet pack"? Almost too scared to check, the young man took a look anyway. What he saw made him chocked.

"Scott!" He cried to his sibling who could not heard him. "Scott!"

The oldest Tracy was ridiculously small on the dish, compared to the giant Virgil was seeing in his mind. Scott was the oldest of his siblings, but also the strongest, the wisest, the anything-est! He was indestructible! Nothing could happen to him, right?

The dish fell all the way down the hill and Virgil followed it with Thunderbird Two. He didn't care about the engineers anymore. The only thing he cared about was his brother.

"Scott, do you read me?!" He yelled into his radio when everything subsided.

He didn't get an answer, but he didn't really need one, because as soon as he had cried, he had seen what he was looking for. Scott was there, stuck under a huge metal bar, and even without checking, Virgil could tell he was dead. His big brother was dead.
