Chapter Seven: Gathering Storm
The two helicopters hovered over Suminodo Station as the vehicles' occupants looked down at the massive Military Staging area. The helos came in to land on the road outside the station and a squad of soldiers approached the helo containing the Team. Agent Thompson climbed out of the Heliccpter and showed the first soldier his ID. "Of Course, roght this way, Sir." The marine said, beckoning him and Hunter to follow. Hunter turned to his group. "alright, Zack, Angel, with me. Everyone else, we're gonna need a replacement for Gigan One." Max groaned in boredom as he got out of the Halo chopper, now he would have to find parts for a drne which he didn't even break. Godzilla broke the drone, and he didn't see the King of the Monsters anywhere, gluing the rotor blades back on.
Agent Thompson, Hunter, Zack, Angel and Admiral Stenz stood round the smart table inb the centre of the operations room. "now, If Godzilla and Mothra are heading north, that puts Nagoya, Yokohama Tokyo and Sendai at risk.." Stenz pointed out, drawing a virtual line up Japans' eastern coastline. "Sir, I don't need to go off topic, but where's Dr Serizawa?" Hunter asked.
"We picked up some seismic activity near Odo island, he's leading an expedition there. Back to the plan, Thompson, you're in command of the military of Japans' Self Defence Forces. The Prime Minister has authorised total military lock down of all eastern costal cities, giving the armed forces the best abvility of fighting off the monster if it comes to this. I recomend you set up in Sendai first, as they are most likely to make landfall there."
Stenz turned to the Storm siblings, "Commander Storm, You and your team will follow Godzilla and Mothra on a Hercules C130, tracking their movement and acting as an early warning sustem if either monster changes course. You will also have the Anguirus in the Hercules' cargo bay, so if you need to chase them on land, that won't be a problem." Hunter spoke up. "Commander, Sir?" Stenz nodded, "yes, after showing your true leadership potential, I've had your promotion to commander already confirmed."
Stenz looked round at the people who stood round him, "okay, we only have one shot at this people. We cannot allow another city to fall. First Janjira, then San Francisco and now Osaka. If we allow Godzilla to make landfall in any more cities, he may put the human race in danger, if not intentionally, collateral damage will kill us. Any questions?" no one spoke up. "good. Now go to your posts, we need to start as soon as we can people, humanity depends on our actions."
Hunter walked out of the improvised Operations room. he looked at his team, "alright, we're gonna be following Godzilla and Mothra. if they reach a city, its; gonna get dangerous. Get some armor from the base and meet me at the Hercules in ten, got it?" everyone went to the armory, leaving Hunter and Zack outside of operations, "you alright, Zack?" Hunter asked, his older brother shrugged, "I don't know. I know your the squad leader and all, but I feel responsible, after all, I am the oldest. I just don't want you or Angel to get hurt."
Hunter put his hand on Zacks' shoulder. "don't worry, we cna handle ourselves." he grinned before heading to the armory.
did you get the joke that was the title of the chapter, since the main characters' name is Storm? (laughing awkwardly, embarrassed)
Next chapter coming soon.
