Chapter 2
Tracy IslandJeff Tracy sat at his desk in the control room working on some files, his boys were in the lounge, Amanda was walking on the beach, and Brains was in the lab with his son working on one of their new and exciting inventions.
'Thunder Bird 5 to Tracy Island! Mayday! Mayday! Come in; Thunder bird 5 has been hit! MAYDAY!" John's panicked voice filled the control room, causing his father to jump before he turned to the communication panel.
"John, I'm here what's going on up there? JOHN!" Jeff yelled into the open channel. When he didn't receive an answer, he turned to his other children. "Scott, Virgil, Gordon! Head to Thunder Bird 3 Silos now! We're going to Thunder Bird 5, John is in trouble!" Jeff yelled as he sounded the alarm. "Brains you have control of rescue operations. I think that Thunderbird 5 has been hit by a meteor." With that Jeff and his sons disappeared, headed toward Thunderbird 3.
"Brains, this is Jeff, Thunderbird 3 is ready for take off, are we clear?"
"You are clear for ttttttt. . . . . . .tttttttt. . . . . . .launch, have a safe flight."
"FAB Brains. Thunder Birds are GO!"
Thunder Bird 3 rose from out of the ground and launched into space at an alarming speed.
Fermat turned and ran down to the beach to where Amanda was walking.
"A…A…Am … Amanda." Fermat cried out of breath.
"Whoa Fermat breathe, breathe the sweet air." Amanda said with a giggle as she caught Fermat so he wouldn't fall. "What's going on, where is the emergency?" Amanda asked as Fermat pulled away.
"Hey Amanda, how are you, is everything alright? Fermat, what's wrong?" David said as he came out of the forest.
"No, Amanda you need to know, Thunder Bird 5 has been hit by a mmmm…mm..mee… Meteor, and your family just left." Fermat said to both of his friends. The color left Amanda's face as she stared at Fermat.
"Is John alright?" Amanda asked as looked up at the sky with worry for John. She then looked to the sea. And saw a submarine surface not far from shore.
"Oh my God! Look at that. I don't think a Meteor hit the space station. That sub looks like it carries missiles on it. I think someone may have targeted Thunderbird 5. I think we need to tell Dad. They might be in trouble." Amanda said
"Look they're coming to shore. What about my Dad. He's still in the control room!" Fermat cried as they watched the submarine move closer to shore.
The three of them ran to the Villa and snuck into the vent shaft as the occupants of the submarine made their way to shore.
Inside the three children climbed around till they came to a room with nobody in it.
"Let's get out here okay. We need to be able to run if we need to. This is the easiest place. Fermat we need to warn your dad before those people find a way into the house." Amanda said as she sat down to think.
"Come on, we need to get to the control room." Fermat said as he made his way out of the room to warn his father.
Once they reached the control room Amanda explained what they had seen on the beach. "I think we need to contact my dad, He needs to know that we are being invaded. Amanda said as she stared at Brains.
"I agree." Brains said as he opened a communication channel to Thunderbird three. They all began to worry when there was no answer. "Dad never ignores a message. It doesn't matter what he's doing." After several more attempts with no answer, Amanda turned to Brains. "Brains I think we should hide in the tubes, at least until we can make contact with Thunderbird three. You hide in that one and we'll hide in the other one, maybe those people won't be able to find us if they make it into the control room.".
Brains nodded his head and hid. Amanda then pushed both boys into the other tube and shut the grate. Now all she had to do was find a place for her to hide. She turned away from the tube when she heard a strange noise at the locked door. The intruders had found their way into the house and to the control room. Amanda was in trouble. The door crashed opened to show two men and a woman. One man was black with a mean look on his face; the other was Asian and had that creepy feeling of power. He had no hair and dark brown, very intimidating eyes.
"Who the hell are you? What are you doing in my home?" Amanda demanded while standing in front of the computer screen.
"Now my dear girl why don't you stop being demanding and go sit in the chair over there." The Hood demanded
Amanda felt a strange presence in her mind.
The Hood looked at her when she didn't move. She just stood there defiantly not following his orders.
"Are you not afraid of me? Am I not scary enough for you to back down? Let's just see what's going on in that little head of yours my dear." The Hood said with a twisted grin. He put out his hand as if he was going to reach for her head. Then his eyes turned red. The presence in her mind soon became an unbearable searing pain.
'What is he doing to me? What's going on why is the room spinning?' Amanda thought. 'What is that feeling? It should not be there at all. Something in my mind! How is he doing this? STOP! MAKE IT ALL STOP!'
The Hood got into Amanda's mind with some difficulty, and then proceeded to try to find every thing she held dear. He wanted to break her and use her against her family, but something was not right, for his head started to hurt.
Amanda was on the floor with her hands on her head and crying. She has never felt this much pain.
"Wh… Whh What are you dooo…… doing to me? Stop it! It Hurts. Do you enjoy watching me in pain?" Amanda asked. The pain was becoming unbearable, and she felt the world fall a way from her.
"Just sleep child while every thing is going to hell. You don't need to be awake for me to use you." The Hood said with an evil look on his face
In Thunderbird 3
"Virgil I want you to get the readings for Thunderbird 5. I want to know exactly what we're dealing with, Scott I want you and Gordon to get the medical supplies ready, we may need them when we get there. Am I clear boys?" Jeff asked
"Yes Sir, the readings are coming in now and things don't look good. There is a hole in section 4 and breached in sections 2 and 6 the oxygen levels are dropping at a very slow rate. John is still alive, but very hurt." Virgil relayed the information.
"All medical supplies are ready. How's John dad, we only have a fixed amount of painkillers." Scott said
"Dad I got all fire gear is ready, I suggest we get into our fire suits we are docking in less than 4 minutes." Gordon said.
Jeff Tracy nodded his head and got ready for the docking procedures. He was worried about John and how that last transmission came in. His last transmission was full of static and panic.
"We are docking in 5.4.3.2.1. We are docked and ready to get aboard." Gordon told everyone.
Once docked every one rushed out of Thunderbird 3, and into the air lock of Thunderbird 5.
"Lets get these doors open now boys. Your brother is in pain and needs his family." Jeff said.
The airlock slid open to reveal the destruction in the control room.
"Gordon get these fires out on the double! Virgil you help him, Scott you and I will tend to John. Now move Boys!" Jeff yelled over the roaring flames as he made his way to his injured son.
John heard voices and opened his eyes, only to shut them in pain. "Dad, guys is that you? Boy am I glad to see you." John said with a dazed look on his face.
"John you ok? What hurts the most?" Scott asked as he approached his brother.
"My arm" he paused, "Sorry, everything does." John said with attempted humor.
Soon Jeff was holding his son by his shoulders so Scott could rap a bandage around John's ribs.
"Alright let's get out of here and back to the island so Brains can take over the medical treatment." Jeff told the boys.
Gordon nodded his head then headed to the air lock. He put in the code for it to open, but it stayed shut He took a calming breath then tried again. When he received the same response he turned to his father.
"Dad the lock won't open, the door is jammed!" Gordon told them.
Before Jeff had a chance to answer the communication panel cracked to life. "Hello my dear Thunderbirds, it looks to me that you are in a very dangerous situation."
