Chapter One: New York Hit Hard
The people of New York never saw it coming…the meteor shower that nobody knew about. The first meteor crashed into the Empire State Building, dissolving it immediately in a cloud of dirt and dust. Innocent passersby were running for their lives as rocks the size of cars were now slamming into the sea and land.
People sleeping in their beds never had a chance. They were thrown from their beds, dashed against walls that collapsed against them, only to find themselves buried under miles of green sea.
Chaos had broken; what was happening? Where was God? As the rocks crashed into the ground, people asked themselves those very questions as they ran in terror. This was, by far, the worst thing that had ever happened…
Location: NASA Space Center, Texas
Harry stepped through the double doors of the main NASA building, followed by Ron and Hermione, who walked hand-in-hand. They marveled at the sights and wonders, only to be brought back to Earth by a NASA official, who shook hands with them and greeted each one of them individually. "Which one of you is Harry Potter?"
"I'm Harry," Harry said, motioning to himself. "These are my friends Ron and Hermione."
"Nice to meet all of you. I'm William Artel. I assume you know why you're here?"
The trio suddenly became very serious. "Yes," Harry said with a straight face.
Inside William's office, he got straight to the point. "I have asked you here because you can help us. I know you three are only seventeen, but if you accept this mission, you will be the youngest people ever in space."
Harry shivered, and he didn't know if it was from the air conditioning or the fact that he might go into space and not come back. He figured it was choice two.
Ron shook his head. "Wait. You mean, that if we go through with this, there's a chance that we might not make it out of there alive? And you expect him to go!" He turned to Harry. "You're not going to go through with this, are you?
Harry sighed heavily. "Mr. Artel, what do I have to do?"
Ron stared at him as if he were crazy. Hermione was shocked. "Well," William said, "you need to go up on the asteroid and drill a hole big enough to fit a nuclear warhead in there. Then, you're going to take off, and once you're out of range, you'll remote detonate the bomb. But here's the thing: we're sending p two shuttles, two teams of six. There will be two pilots and four astronauts. So, you'll be training with--"
"If I do this, I'm gonna want to take my own people," Harry interrupted.
William nodded. "Okay, we can do it that way. Are you saying you'll help us?"
Harry let out a big sigh and stared at William. "Yes, sir."
