Chapter 1

Lightning struck, and the rain fell on there heads heard. New York was being hit with one huge hurricane. Scott sat at the control panel, which was covered with plastic so it wouldn't get to wet.

Virgil had the firefly moving things off the streets so the fire trucks could help them out. With help from the mole which made holes in the ground for the water to go through. Piloted by none other then John.

This mission was almost over. The eye passed over three hours ago. The boys were doing all they could do, they couldn't stop Mother Nature, but they could fight against her.

"Alright John wrap that up. The earth looks like Swiss cheese now." Scott said John laughed at Scotts attempt at a joke.

"Alright Scott emerging now." John said and made his way to the surface. The Firefly fired a missile at the rubble in front of it blasting the stuff into nothingness.

"That's about it Scott." Virgil said and turned it around and began to drive away from the fire blazing mass.

"Alright Virgil Brains said that this is it. The storm is over. The people are in the school on the hill. All accounted for.except those other few that we couldn't help. We should make our way back to the Villa." Scott said and began taking mobile control apart. He carried most of the stuff into Thunderbird 1.

"Hey Scott.Looks like Ned cook's here." John said parking the mole in Thunderbird 2's pod.

"He hasn't taken pictures or started filming us yet.so don't worry as of yet." Scott said

Joe Ned's cameraman opened his camera machine and stepped away showing he wasn't ganna do what he was suppose to. It was a way they could thank them. Scott smiled and waved. Ned and Joe waved back. Scott got into Thunderbird 1 and began to do his preflight checks and noticed another news team driving up. A woman got out and pulled out a camera. Ned turned and started to talk to her. The woman started to yell Ned looked at her and shook his head, and walked away. Joe lit a cigarette and sat down on the hood of the other car.While the camera team was setting up there camera he flicked the ciggy into their van and watched it start to smoke and catch fire. Scott looked dumbfounded at Joe. He didn't look like the troublemaker type.

"Um.your vans on fire." Scott said a walked over and used the fire extinguisher on it. The cameramen looked at Scott as if it was he who was on fire. Scott had taken the film cartridge and hid it under his sash and walked over to Thunderbird 1 and got in. Taking off shortly later.

Tracy Villa was quite that night. John sat in his father's usual chair while his father took a small break. Alan's eye lit up and John answered it.

"What's up Alan?" John asked in his usual Thunderbird 5 voice.

"Hey John.Where's father."

"On the can.any trouble or is this just systems check."

"Oh neither. I just thought that Brains might want to know about the very small meteor going after base. It's to small to attracted too much attention. And I've calculated the arrival area.the south beach. It should hit in the next thirty minutes or so." Alan said John nodded as he wrote it all down. He reached over and pushed the lab button and Brains voice came over the small speaker box on the desk.

"Brains here." He said. It sounded as if he had fallen asleep in there again.

"Could you come down to the lounge please.There is something here you have got to know." John said and winked at Alan and closed the window. Alan's portrait once again became blank. Brains walked in and seen John instead of his father.

"W-Where's Mr. Uh Tracy?"

"Here brains.Alan thought you might like to see a meteor shower up close and personal.If you like it or not."

"Would I." Brains said taking the piece of paper from John and walked out of the room.

Brains played with the little meteor all night long. Placing it in this chemical and that solution.nothing really happened. It was just an ordinary little rock.So to speak. That's when he took it out of the container and Scott walked in. To Brains amazement it was no longer a rock, but a diamond of sorts.

"Brains nice rock where'd you get it?" Scott asked Brains looked up at Scott.

"O-Oh hi Scott. This is the meteor." Brains said and looked at the rock again. He blew on it to get the mud, and sand off of it. The rock began to glow, Brains put it down on the counter and took off his glasses and began to clean it. The ground began to shake and brains fell forward and hit his head. Scott fell to his knees and held onto brains and the world around them began to spin. Scott had to close his eyes so the colors wouldn't make him sick. Then it stopped. It just stopped, even the clock on the wall did.then it started to speed up and Scott shook his head and it stopped too.
