"Mobius 1, standing by for take off." Brian said.
"Galm Team, standing by." Drake said.
"Razgriz, on stand by." Thomas said.
"Scarface, standing by." Andrew said.
"Garuda Team, standing by." William said.
"We are to take off as soon after Mother Goose One gets airborne." Brian said.
At the base, Sea Goblin has just landed, and everyone inside started running for the C-5 Galaxy that is waiting for them. Inside Mother Goose One, President Wilford and the others has boarded.
"Go ahead, pilot. We're ready to take off right now." Wilford said.
"Right away, sir." the pilot said.
Everyone started to take their seats. Guy and Chris has taken their seats. Guy then opens his laptop to check the countdown.
'3, 2, 1, 0.'
Guy is horrified before saying...
'Time's up."
In San Salvacion, a bright blueist-greenist light starts appearing in the middle of the open spaceship while eight triangle tip structures started moving towards the light, as if it was charging the light as it gets brighter and brighter. The people that were on the rooftops stared in amazement, Cathy among them. The eight moving structures move closer to the light until it finally stops. Suddenly, the light got brighter and brighter until a laser beam fell on the roof, but nothing happened, except making the people there flinched. Suddenly a big pulse of light traveled down the laser until it hit the roof. As soon as it hit the roof, the building exploded and collapse, destroying the skyscraper and exploding into a massive fireball. Panic and chaos ensues on the streets below and the citizens of San Salvacion started screaming and running for their lives as the fireball is expanding.
"Oh my God!"
"RUN!"
"Get down!"
"Get out of the car!"
The wall of fire continue to expand, and destroyed everything in its path. Buildings, signs, and even killing people in the process, as well as setting fires everywhere. Debris from the destroyed buildings are thrown and vehicles has been lifted into the air due to the surging air from the explosion, but not before crashing down into other vehicles on the ground.
In Gracemeria, the same process has occurred over the Gracemeria Skyscraper. As the citizens of Gracemeria was looking up, there was a bright light before a laser beam hit the building, followed by a pulse of bright light traveling down the laser. The light hit the skyscraper and destroys it in a massive explosion, causing panic in the streets below. People starts screaming and running for their lives as the fireball is expanding. The same process follows: the wall of fire continue to expand, and destroyed everything in its path. Buildings, signs, and even killing people in the process, as well as setting fires everywhere. Debris from the destroyed buildings are thrown and vehicles has been lifted into the air due to the surging air from the explosion, but not before crashing down into other vehicles on the ground.
In Bright Hill, a retreating helicopter was carrying the rest of the Bright Hill staff when a laser bean hit the building before a pulse of light destroyed it. It also destroyed the helicopter in the process, killing those that were inside.
In Gracemeria, the wall of fire, or firestorm, continue to destroy the city and people are either trying to run for their lives, or take shelter as the fire approached them. The fire destroyed buildings bridges, etc. It also destroyed the King's Bridge and the Old Castle, where the Golden King, Emmeria's prize possession and statue, is located at before reaching Gracemeria Air Force Base and destroying it.
In San Salvacion, the firestorm is expanding in a huge circle, as if the destroyed area looks like a giant pie of pizza from an aerial view. The fire destroyed sites like Peace Park, San Profetta Airport, and Route 7, where its famous Arch is located at.
In Oured, the firestorm continue to expand and destroy the city, destroying the large skyscrapers in downtown Oured, including the Willis Tower and government buildings. At the air base, Mother Goose One has already taken off. Now the aces has to take off, but they have to do it quickly cause all of them noticed the firestorm coming towards them.
"Come on! Come on! Take off! Move it!" Andrew said.
"Mobius 1, taking off!" Brian said.
The aces begin their take off roll, with the firestorm getting closer to them. Some of the aces where able to get airborne. Now only Drake, Andrew, and Brian needs to get in the air. Drake, Andrew and Brian went full throttle as they try to beat the firestorm as it reach one end of the runway.
"Come on, guy! Get up! Get up! CLIMB!" Marcus Snow yelled.
Drake, Andrew, and Brian managed to get airborne in a nick of time before the firestorm could have engulf their aircraft and could have killed them. Afterwards, Mother Goose One and the Aces has managed to get to a safe distance from the firestorm and escape Oured.
Back in San Salvacion, people are running towards the tunnel screaming. Amber, who is still in her car, has no idea what is happening. It wasn't till she looked at her rear view mirror and then back is where she got her answer. A wall of fire is approaching her car.
"Oh, my God. Come on, Danny. We gotta go. Come on, Peanut." Amber said as she gets out of her car.
After grabbing Danny and Peanut's lease, Amber and Peanut starts running for their lives. Realizing that the fire is coming closer and faster, Amber decides to find shelter. She finds a door that leads to some boiler room. Amber has managed to bust the door open and take shelter before the firestorm could engulf her along with Danny and Peanut.
The firestorms continued for the rest of the night, mostly in capital cities around the world.
That's the end of this chapter. Please review.
