OK, it's taken a while, but she's sent me the next chapter, so I can post them both on HER account (if you didn't read the last version of Countdown, posted on my account – Snow747 – this is what happened: I posted it for my friend because she had to wait three days to post, but it took her an eternity to send me the next chapter. Mine has now been deleted, and so this has been posted). The reason I'm still posting this is because she doesn't know how to post it herself and I haven't had time to teach her.
Disclaimer: She owns nothing.
Author's Note (from the actual author, not me): Although the beginning seems irrelevant, it isn't. (Well, ok. In my words).
It was cold morning and the US army were transferring 4 atomic bombs into a naval base in Brighton, England. After the long and rough rigorous journey by sea they met the SAS commander who would lead them to their final destination. Being British, the Commander suggested elevenses, so the Commander and the top soldiers went to have tea while the rest of the under-experienced soldiers dozed off!
The boat's swaying had caused a lot of trouble with the nail holding the trolley to the humvee. The nail suddenly snapped and the trolley holding a bomb started to roll. The bomb shook! A mile away there was an abandoned (or thought so) mining hole. The trolley rattled and rolled down the hill towards it. The bomb's bearing couldn't take the strain of the boat, and now this! It started to tip one way and then the other, side-to-side, it couldn't take it! It tipped; unfortunately right into the shaft/hole.
Fairy headquarters: Foaly's office
Foaly, being Foaly, knew everything going on in the shafts, ships coming in, ships coming out, threats flying in and threats being destroyed! But this fateful morning he could not figure out or explain what was entering in abandoned shaft 175.
That morning Foaly walked in with a grin on his face and a coffee in hand, he had this automatic feeling of happiness that this would be a glorious day (or so he thought)
Shaft 175: 2ND hour
The bomb sinks rapidly towards Haven and Atlantis at approximately 10 miles per hour. In 7 hours it will reach Haven and Atlantis, shredding them to pieces!
Author's Notes: She would like me to tell you that the next chapter is coming soon and 'expect the worst'. She also wants to know what you think, so please review.
Thank you for reading!
