Chapter Two: The Storm Family
/Central Park, New York
Dianna Storm eagerly watched the deer as it stood at the river to take a drink. She closed her eyes and focussed, trying to form a decent thought.
Ever since she was four, Dianna possessed the ability to communicate with animals and listen to their thoughts and feelings. Though she was confident, her abilities wouldn't work perfectly. She had done research, finding literally no one else on the planet shared her ability to talk to nature, so, assuming that she was the only person in the world to be able to do so, Dianna worked to improve her ability, to perhaps show it to the world one day.
She tried to picture the word 'hello' in order to try and get the deers' attention, but before she could, her phone rang, the infamously catchy 'keyboard cat' tune echoied through the forest as a frantic Dianna tried to turn it off. The deer raised its' ead, looking round before darting off into the forest, to be invisible.
Dianna looked down at her phone, realising it was her Father; Hunter. She answered the call and raised the phone to her ear. "What do you want" she asked, "I was in the middle of something important." Dianna patiently waited for her Dad to respond. "Hey, sorry Dianna, but I've got to pick you up, I've been called back for my job. I'll have to take you to your Mothers'. I'll be waiting in the car, you do know your way back, right?"
She sighed, "yeah, Dad, I know how to get back to the car. I'll be there in five." Dianna hung up and pocketed the phone before making her way back to the parking lot. She appeared out of the treeline, walking down the path to where the gigantic Land Rover DC100 sat neatly in a parking space. Hunter opened the door of the matte black car and climbed out, greeting his daughter, "hey, c'mon, lets' go kiddo." he grinned as she walked past him, though she was only thirteen, she was 6'2, almost as tall as her father, who stood at about 6'5. "don't call me kiddo, Dad, you know that's really annoying." she groaned as Dianna opened the door and climbed into the passenger seat of the Land Rover.
The matte-black, hummer-like 4X4 speed down the highway, passing countless taxis and busses as they left the massive park and headed home. "Why have you been called back, Dad?" Dianna asked. "I can't really tell you much, but, My boss, Dr Serizawa thinks another monsters' appeared.
"You mean like Godzilla?" Hunter shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know, Dianna. He revved the engine of the car and the vehicle accelerated again. They rounded the next corner and approached one of the many apartment blocks that filled the City. "I got your things from the house, so don't worry, you don't have to go a few weeks without you iPad." Hunter joked as he pulled up outside the entrance of the Apartment building. Dianna got out and before Hunter could even say goodbye, she happily jogged into the building with her bag.
Hunter sighed and closed the door of the Land Rover before driving off. He picked up his wireless headset, a modified Racal Amplivox 150. He pulled on the device and turned it on, tuning it into the Monarch Private Forces channel. "Come in Newark One, this is Wolf Actual over." he tried to get a message out to the military cargo plane waiting for him at the airport. "Copy that, Wolf Actual, where are yoiu, man?!" someone called out in response. "I'm just on my way now. see you in about two minutes.
Hunter arrived at the airport and drove down the private access entrance. A security guard stood in front of a barrier, arms folded, "I'm gonna need your ID sir." The man asked as hunter pulled out his passport, it read:
F/N: Hunter
L/N: Storm
Code Name: Wolf
Authority: Code Alpha
Designation: Counter Godzilla Force
"Thank you sir you can make your way to the plane now sir." The guard spoke stepping out of the way as the barrier raised. Hunter accelerated and drove into the airport. The massive cargo plane was already taxiing to the runway, ramp still open.
"Alright, Max, keep the ramp down, I'm coming in." Hunter spoke into his headset as he chased after the aircraft, "Wait, what?!" The voice on the other end called out in shock as the Land Rover rocketed towards the open ramp at the back of the plane. The officer beckoned everyone aboard away from the centre of the cargo bay as the car shot up the ramp and into the plane, the ramp closed quickly after.
"You know, sometimes I wonder if you even think before you ask, sir!" Max Marsh yelled as Hunter climbed out of the car. "Yeah, well you need to act the part if you're gonna work as a monster chaser. You gotta take risks sometimes." Hunter called out as he walked past technicians who began to fasten the car to the floor of the bay. "You know, JJs' got an awesome surprise for you, Man!" Max laughed, "You know hwo you were born on an army base? I hope you know how to drive a tank!" he jeered as he walked over to his seat.
"it's gonna be a long flight you know. All the way from New York to Janjira." Max jeered as he took a seat and strapped himself in. "Okay! Mz, take her up!" He yelled into his mic and his brother accelerated down the runway. The nose of the massive cargo plane rose and the plane lifted up into the air, to begin its' trip to the Janjira base.
