Chapter 36: "Armageddon"
Day 9
Station Square
1:09 P.M.
Mayor Blaze was holding a live speech at City Hall. Shalita and
Bane were reporting it.
"So now as we get back to continuing our lives in peace, let us
take a moment of silence for those who have fallen needlessly during
the destruction of our city..."
At the news station, as a group monitored the report, a metorologist
monitored a storm she's been watching for the past 4 days. It was
stalled off the east coast of Station Square, building up. Her boss
came up to her, looking at the radar.
"So what do we got, Leadeny?" he asked.
"Well," the human started pushing back a lock of her orange/blong
hair. "This is Tropical Storm Aleena. If she keeps out there any
longer, we could be looking at a category 1 hurricane," she said.
"Good gravy, as if we haven't had enough problems," he said,
looking at the screen of the report. "Monsters, nutball echidnas,
murders, riots, mad evil dictators, city-tromping robots, evil chao,
kidnapping, and now THIS! What's next?!"
As if in answer, there was a commotion, and there, the Queen herself
was among their presence.
"Queen Aleena!" the humans bowed.
"What can we do you for?" the boss asked her.
"I need access to Shalita's transmission mic. The city needs to
be evacuated IMMEDITELY," she said.
"Yes, whatever you want, your magesty! Right, Leadeny?" the boss
asked, turning to her. And realized she never adknowledged Aleena's
presence.
"Hold on, sir. I'm recieving a report from the plane monitoring
the hurricane," Leadeny said.
Her boss fell over, twitching.
"Leadeny, your supposed to bow in the presence of the Queen!" he
hissed to her.
"Oh, it's okay. Let her continue her job," Aleena said.
As Shalita continued to monitor the report, she recieved a
transmission in her ear. She nodded and quietly walked up to Mayor Blaze.
He gasped, stared at her then turned to the camera.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have a new situation in our hands. We
need ALL, I mean ALL of Station Square evacuated immeditely. This is an
extremely dangerous situation. We will release details as soon as
possible. Please. Pack up and leave NOW."
Back at the station, the boss had given everyone leave, and they
were fixing to head home. Aleena had taken interest in Leadeny's work
and was watching the radar.
"This is...wow. This is a hybrid storm. These things are almost
unpredictible. We can expect hail and lightning with this puppy,"
Leadeny said.
"The winds have suddenly shot up," Aleena pointed.
"You're right. This storm is developing too quickly. We maybe
looking at a strong Category 1 hurricane.
"Yes, but what's fueling it so quickly? The waters on the bay
aren't all THAT warm," Aleena pointed.
"You're right. Mam," she said, turning to her. "We maybe looking
at a Category 5 hurricane to arrive here within the hour."
The streets were jam-packed with cars while Manic and Sonia
directed traffic.
Chuck and Bernadette were helping some of the elder people get
out of the city.
No one expected what happened next.
Manholes all over the city started gushing with water. A tidal
wave started washing over the coastline, flooding the city street. People
who were in their cars got out and starting running for it.
Within 45 minutes, as Hurricane Aleena rolled in, the city was
in shambles. In one building, the windows explosed out, and a watery
figire shaped. A large dragon head. Chaos. And she roared as she
viewed the destruction of the city.
