SEARCH AND RECOVER

The full moon, shining through a thin veil of cloud, was almost ethereal against the dark black of the midnight sky, hanging over Infant Island.

With whirring rotor blades, spinning quickly, mechanically and coldly, the three black choppers descended onto the beach, each emblazoned with a circle and, within it, a pair of crossed swords, all in blood-red paint.

Six black-garbed men, all with their faces covered by black balaclavas, poured out of each one, missile launchers carried expertly as they gathered like the fully-trained soldiers they were.

As each one raised the missile launchers to their shoulders, a deep, rumbling noise began to grow steadily closer. The wall of trees before them parted, and the huge, segmented shape of Mothra rose up behind her sunken-in face, blue eyes glowing like lights in the night.

As Mothra let out a low, menacing chirp, the front most four soldiers squeezed the triggers and sent a missile each flying forward on thick trails of smoke. Each one collided with Mothra's face before she could create, exploding into a thick, expanding white cloud of smoke that enveloped the larva's entire face.

From the trees nearby, the Cosmos looked on in shock as Mothra screeched into the smoke.

"Oh my Lord…" Moll whispered fearfully.

After a few seconds, Mothra fell sideways, crashing down to the ground in a cloud of dust as the squadron of men surrounded her.

"Mothra!" Lora cried out in horror. Immediately, four of the men turned to catch sight of them.

"Run!" Moll shouted, pulling her sister behind her by the arm.

One of the soldiers whipped out a small grenade, throwing it into the trees after the tiny girls. A second later, a cloud of gas billowed out from the foliage, rising into the air.

The soldiers gathered around, two of them pushing the leaves and vines aside to reveal the twins lying unconscious on the ground.

With a nod from his commander, one of them lifted a radio to his ear.

"Capture successful. Move in for removal."

A dozen lights cut through the air, as more choppers began to descend towards the mammoth, unconscious insect.


I know that was short, but I wanted to emphasise the swiftness and efficiency of the attack.
