Chapter Five: The Last Battle
The small group had only been running for a few seconds before another loud crack was heard followed by the ground shaking, hard. The next thing Alan, Tin Tin and Fermat knew they were falling two floors. They didn't have time to even cry out before they hit the water with a splash.
"What the...!" Alan yelled after spluttering up water.
"Were we kn-kn-knocked out?" Fermat asked as he dogie paddled towards a floating dresser.
"I don't know but this water is freezing! We need to get someplace dry." Tin Tin yelled over the roaring wind. They began to swim towards the house but a sudden current began to pull them out towards the ocean, or wherever the ocean was supposed to be anyways.
"No! We can't be pulled out! Grab on to something!" Tin Tin yelled, grabbing onto a tree trunk. Fermat and Alan did the same.
"I – I can't feel my arms! I do-do-don't know if I am going to be able to ho-ho-hold on much longer!" Fermat yelled.
"Hold on!" Tin Tin and Alan yelled back. Then the water was gone. It was like the ocean had sucked it all back in. The three hit the ground thankful they had not been that far up.
Holding on to each other and anything else they could grab on to help pull them up towards the caves.
"The wind is s-s-so strong! We need help!" Fermat yelled. Alan shook his head.
"We are getting help! Look how strong the wind is blowing in the distance." Alan yelled back. Fermat's eyes grew large at the site. Around them they felt like they were being beaten up, but nothing like it looked in the distance where trees were being up rooted and flying like paper airplanes. The rain was so thick around them it you could barely see.
"Wow..." Fermat mumbled but no one heard him. He barely heard himself. Slowly they made there way through what was left of the forest, dodging flying debris as they went.
Finally after what felt like hours the three cold and windswept adults made it to the miraculously undamaged cave.
Alan ran a hand over Tin Tin's bulging belly and received a tiny kick to the hand from the upset baby within. Grinning in relief the three cuddled up together modesty swept away with the wind as they tried to get warm. As if on cue the cave seemed to warm up a little bit and become a lot more full as at least twelve young and older ghosts appeared around them.
"You are safe for now." Tommy smiled.
"We have made this a protected area and therefore can tell you our plans." Tommy told them. "The satellite at the top of the mountain has been made another safe spot for a little while anyways. There we have gathered all the tools you will need to set up a trap. When the eye of the hurricane comes you must race to the socialite and use it to create a giant electric field. We will be fighting Kendra and the demons, leading them toward you and the trap. Be ready! As soon as everyone is ready it is important that you all get well away from the electrical field. God will supply the electricity we need to be destroy Kendra and those that walk with her." Tommy told them quickly. The three nodded wide eyed.
Fire appeared in the middle of the cave along with food, water and sleeping bags. The three scooted over to the fire and sighed.
"Thank you." Alan told them.
"Your welcome." Tommy smiled. "Now get comfortable, rest up and discuss how you might do this, the eye will be here in three days, tops."
"What about everyone else?" Fermat asked worriedly.
"Everyone is fine, worried but fine." With that the ghosts disappeared, but the shield keeping the wind out remained. Alan, Tin Tin and Fermat talked about the quickest ways to get up the mountain, then out of plain board om planned out a Plan B, C, D and even an E. Fermat and Tin Tin got into a deep discussion about ways to create the electrical field, Alan slept off the pain that was still coursing though his body from the wreak.
By the third day they, (being Fermat and Tin Tin) had analyzed all possibilities to death, it was Alan however who brought up a very good point.
"With what electricity are we going to use?" Alan mumbled in the afternoon of day two. Now they were all quiet as they sat back and silently watched the storm outside and wondered what there families were doing. They discussed the different ways God could create the electricity, but that too was in the back of there minds. Tommy appeared out of no where, causing the three to jump high almost hitting there heads on the top of the cave.
"The eye approaches! Get ready!" Tommy yelled, the three stood at the end of the cave stiffly trying desperately to warm up there stiff muscles. The storm seemed to quiet then altogether stop. It was a strange change after listening and seeing the storming for so long. The shield disappeared and the three began to run as fast as their stiff bodies would let them. They did not get very far before they stopped dead in there tracks in shock. The forest around them was gone. Trees lay everywhere, they turned towards the house, half of it was gone.
"Come on, we have to stop this!" Alan yelled before they began to run and jump over trees and debris once again towards the now very visible top of the mountain, where the undamaged satellite stood proudly.
"Alright, were going to line the ground with thin metal wire in a fifty by fifty square feet set by metal poles. We have to move quickly, let's go!" Tin Tin stated as they rummaged through the pile of metal equipment. The two men nodded, grabbed the equipment they would need and set to work.
Putting the poles down was easy enough in the very wet earth, however getting the wires to stay was a completely different story. The wire had to be right above ground but not touching it. Getting it to stay was the true challenge. It took two hours to complete the square, then they had to hook it up to the satellite. A loud continuous roar was heard in the distance causing the three to jump.
"The battle..." Alan whispered wide eyed.
"Oh..." Tin Tin shivered in fear.
"L-l-look!" Fermat yelled looking behind them. What looked like a giant swirling wall of water was coming towards them.
"How long do you think until the other half of the hurricane hit's us?" Alan asked starring at the wall of the storm. Fermat did some quick calculations in his head.
"Less then an h-hour." He whispered. They turned towards the direction of the battle only to find that they were now able to see it.
The battle was like nothing any of the three adults had ever seen even in there dreams. Two giant cloud one the purest of white, the other blacker then black pushed against each other. The white cloud slowly moved the battle towards the three adults. Lightning flashed in the rapidly darkening sky as the hurricane came closer.
"What are we going to do" Alan yelled over the roaring battle and storm.
"Lightning!" Fermat yelled. A grin spread across Tin Tin and Alan's face. They raced to the pile of poles and began to erect a long sturdy pole while Fermat worked on hooking it up to the system they had created.
"What are the chanced that lightning will strike exactly when needed?" Tin Tin yelled.
"It will," Alan yelled. "We need to run!" Upon looking back they found the battle much closer. The battles mere presents could be felt like static electricity. Of course that could be because they were closest to the dark side of the battle.
You could see inside the clouds better as they got closer. Only half of both sides were left. When an angel was stricken down they would disappear in a cloud of white smoke. A demon would go up in flames. The fight was being fought with long bright swards and shields each intricately decorated.
Tin Tin screamed as she watched a sward punch though Tommy's chest. Tommy gasped wide eyed before disappearing in a thick blinding white cloud. Tin Tin sobbed into Alan's chest as he hugged her close to him. The demons were in position and Kendra appeared at the front facing Alan, Tin Tin and Fermat. She began to laugh.
"You see? You don't have a cha..." Before she could finish her sentence a large strike of lightning crashed loudly onto the pole. Blue electrical currents ran spectacularly though the wires. The demons froze, Kendra yelled in utter rage before they were all engulfed in a giant black flame. The screams heard from within would forever haunt the three to there own dying day. All at once the flames were gone and so was the demons. The three turned over to where the angels had been standing but they too were gone. Alan turned his head away before shouting in fright. The hurricane was right behind them, they would never make it back to the caves. They ducked to the ground hugging each other waiting for the inevitable. Nothing happened. Looking up cautiously they were shocked to see clear blue sky's for as far as the eye could see. A warm healing breeze blew through and the three, soaking wet, throughly exhausted , stunned and muddy adults stood up and looked around in shock. The satellite stood smoking next to them.
"What a week." Alan mumbled. Tin Tin grunted looking down at her belly.
"The baby agrees." She grinned.
"We sh-sh-should get back to the house and find out how everyone is." Fermat stated and they began the slow journey towards the house. Upon seeing the house they all stopped and sighed, up close the damage did not look as bad.
"Let's go home." Alan smiled and they headed once again for home. Alan pushed open the front door and they began to walk around and over the debris until they got to the hallway.
"Hello?' Alan yelled.
"Alan?" A faint voice was heard in the distance.
"Where are you?" Tin Tin called.
"Silos!" The now identifiable voice of Brains called back. They made there way tiredly down the stairs to the Silos.
"Oh good." Fermat said at seeing everyone safe and sound. Brains ran up and hugged his son. Ohana hugged Tin Tin and Alan stood back and smiled in the corner. He lifted his watch and set it to pick up another distant back up satellite, to far away to use during a storm.
"Base to Thunderbird Five." Alan said. Johns slightly unfocused face appeared on the tiny screen.
"Alan?!?" John looked elated. Alan looked the same.
"It's over! It's ALL over!" Alan grinned. John sat frozen, letting the word wash over him. Over. He grinned wider.
"Great news!" John smiled.
"How are the children?" Tin Tin appeared over Alan's shoulders.
"There just fine. A little home sick maybe, but there having fun."
"Good to hear. Alright I will let you go call the rest of the family and tell them the great news and that were all doing fine down here. Oh, and were ready for a vacation!" Alan grinned. John nodded.
"FAB." John pressed the hang up button reluctantly before pressing another.
"Thunderbird Five to Thunderbirds." John spoke. Four faces appeared on the large screen. They had been hiding out at Lady Penelope's home since the storm began.
"What's going on, John?" Any word from the island?" Jeff asked. John grinned, his father had only asked that question every time Johns face appeared on screen.
"They are all alive and doing well. Alan told me to tell you it's ALL over. " John smiled at the releaved look on his fathers face. Loud cheers were heard behind Jeff.
"Alright boys, it's time to go home." Another round of cheers were heard.
"Oh, and I have a message for Alan, they want a vacation." John stated. Jeff laughed.
"And they'll get one."
