The Banshees hollered and bellowed from their nests above, agitated by the meteor passing overhead. The alpha came perched over the edge of it's nest, peering into the distance at the lights over the horizon. The nesting grounds of what he presumed to be another tribe of banshee's. There was a bright red light in the distance from where the meteor had crash.
Suddenly, he caught whiff of a sudden alluring scent. Like the spilled blood of a wounded angsik. But this one was much stronger. And it seemed to be coming from the lights over the horizon to the west, where the meteor had struck. Another potential prey, perhaps.
Instinctively, the Banshee gave a loud holler, signifying to the others that it was time to hunt. Spreading it's wings, he leaped from his nest and flew off toward the source of the scent. All as the other Banshees leaped from their nests and followed suit.
Jack, Elsa, Anna and Kristoff came out into the parking lot of the restaurant. Overhead of some the buildings across the street, they saw the rising smoke in the distance from where the asteroid had crashed. Traffic had all but stopped in the streets. People were standing outside their cars, peering ahead at the smoke in the distance.
Anna glanced to Elsa and Jack.
"What's going on?" she asked.
"A titan?" Kristoff said, glancing to Jack.
Jack shook his head.
"I don't know." He said, glancing to them..
There was a sudden sound off to their left. The four looked back down the street and saw the lights from the buildings and streets lights going out. The lights from the restaurant went out behind them. Along with the street lights and the building across the street. There were several screams and gasps from people as everything went dark.
"Jack, Anna?!" Elsa called out, glancing around in the dark.
Elsa felt a hand touch her shoulder. She glanced back and saw someone standing behind her. But it was too dark, she couldn't see who it was.
"Jack?" she asked.
"We're here, Elsa," She heard him say.
"We're right here."
Anna pulled out her phone and turned on it's light.
"What's happening?" Kristoff asked, curiously.
"It must have hit the power station." Jack said, looking back at them.
The phone in their pockets and purses utter a loud alarm. Jack pulled out the phone and glanced down at the screen.
Titan Alert
Please proceed to Emergency Shelters.
He Glanced up to Elsa, Kristoff and Anna.
"We have to get shelters, now!" He advised.
"My trucks parked around here." Kristoff said, pulling the keys from his pocket.
"We got to go!" He said.
"Come on!"
The entire command center was in chaos as the officers scrabbled to restore power. The lights were flickering on and off after the meteor had made impact somewhere in the city. General Ruenard was pacing anxiously along the walkway.
"Can somebody get the power back on?" He exclaimed to the other officers.
"The Emergency Back up generator should be kicking in any second now." One of the officers said.
The flickering lights finally settled as all the monitors came back online. As the monitors came along. One of the officers turned back from his monitor.
"System's back online, sir." they called to him.
"Bring up the satellite feed." Ruenard ordered as he walked up to the monitors.
He came up to the monitor as the screen changed to the satellite feed of the city. It was there that he saw a large impact sight in the western quadrant of the city. It had to be where it crashed.
Ruenard looked back at the officer behind him.
"Enhance on that sector." he said, pointing at the area on screen.
The screen enhanced over the area. The General paused, squinting his eyes, curiously at the monitor. On the screen at the sight of the impact was a large asteroid, pulsing a bright red light like a beating heart. Much like the one that crashed in the Yukon twenty years ago.
"Oh my god..." He uttered in a whispering tone.
"Sir!"
Ruenard glanced back at the officers at the monitors behind him.
"The asteroid has struck the cities power plants," the officer said.
"The entire city lost power!"
"Put me through to the Governor's office!" He ordered them.
"I want the entire city on Titan Alert!"
"General, we're picking up radiation signatures approaching sector four!" Another officer stated.
The General turned to the officer. He walked over to his station and came to face his monitor, he saw countless radiation signatures on radar approaching sector four. He stared confusingly, shaking his head. This didn't make sense. The ORCA transmitters should still be online. They have their own power stations.
"Are the Wall's ORCAs still transmitting?" The General asked.
The officer nodded his head.
"Yes, sir." He answered.
Jack, Elsa, Anna and Kristoff came up to his truck parked along the other end of the parking lot. Anna and Elsa both got into the back as Jack got into the passenger seat. Kristoff climbed into the driver's seat and shut the door behind him.
"Can we get to the shelters from here?" Kristoff asked, glancing to Jack.
"Just head that way," Jack insisted, pointing up the street.
"One of the shelters just a mile up the street."
Pulling out his keys from his pants pocket and plunged them into the ignition. When suddenly they heard the sound of faint hollers and shrills in the distance. Elsa and Anna gazed out the window and overhead, they something flying overhead. Shadows which resembled into that of Banshees.
"Uh, guys." Anna said
Kirstoff and Jack looked out the passenger side window. Suddenly, they froze with a blank stare of fear. Seeing the banshees flying overhead getting closer and closer. Their ear piercing hollers, sounding louder and louder the closer they got.
"Banshees!" Jack said.
Kristoff turned the key forward as the engine then started up.
"Hang on!" he said, glancing back behind them.
He pulled the truck out of the parking stall before shifting it into drive. He then drove out onto the street, trying his best to avoid other vehicles and people running down the street.
"Move!" He said, gesturing for them to move.
"Get out of the way!"
The alpha banshee peered below at the people running. It's vision piercing through the darkness of the night. Seeing the potential prey below them as they scattered like a herd of sturmbeests. The alpha uttered a high shrieking below to his fellow pack members.
Several of the Banshees then dove down over the people running below. Pouncing over the people below, gnawing them. While lifting others into the air.
It was a shock when a banshee flew down from above and pounced over a person running in the street. Kristoff quickly turned the wheel and came around the creature. He glanced back, sighing in relief.
"That was close." he said, turning forward.
"What are they doing here?' Anna asked, turning up at him and Jack.
Elsa shook her head. This didn't make any sense. The ORCAs should still be transmitting during a blackout. The frequency alone was enough to keep them and the titans away from the city. So then what were they doing here?
"I don't know," Jack said.
"We need to get to the shelters, NOW!"
There was a sudden flash from above. Peering up they saw several scorpions flew overhead, firing at the banshees.
Scorpion gunships pursued the Banshees swarming the city.
"Bogies in range!" One of the Pilots announced over the intercom.
"Engaging!"
The gunships opened fire over the banshees. The machine gun bolts struck the banshees, causing them to utter a bellow of pain.
Peering down at his monitor, the pilot lined up the shot before pulling the trigger over the lever. Firing the machine gun torrent under the cockpit.
The Scorpions torrent cut down the banshee, who hollered in pain as it fell to the ground.
"I got em." The pilot said over the comm.
Suddenly, the side of the aircraft was then struck from the side by the Alpha banshee. Spinning uncontrollably, the Banshee slammed his head forward as he smashed his muzzle against the cockpit.
"Mayday, Mayday!" He radioed.
"He's on me. I'm going down!"
Just as the scorpion was to crash, the alpha banshee quickly leaped from off the gunship. The scorpion then crashed into a nearby structure before erupting into a massive explosion.
Hell's Gate Command Center.
General Ruenard frowned upon hearing his pilots over the intercoms. He came over to one of the intelligence officers.
"Whats the status on our ground units?" he asked, curiously.
"ETA on Ground units, five minutes, sir." He answered.
Ruenard looked across the room at the other officers and commanders.
"I want all available air units to be up in five," he order to them.
"All ground units rolling into the city."
"Sir, Governor Agnarr wants to speak to you." One of the officers said.
Ruenard turned to the monitors at the forefront of the room.
"On screen." He said.
The main screen switched to Adgar calling from his office.
"General Ruenard, whats going on?" Agnarr asked.
"We've been getting reports of an unidentified object striking down near Compton. And now we're hearing banshees have entered the city?"
"We have the situation under control. Governor," Ruenard insisted to his son.
"Code Titan has already been issued and I've already deployed air and ground units into the city. They have been ordered to use live rounds."
"Live rounds?!" Agnarr exclaimed to his father.
"I didn't give you the authorization."
"Lives are at stake, Governor," the General insisted.
"And Code Titan states that this becomes a military operation. The Banshees are ignoring the walls Orca transmitters. And protocol states any creatures that go past the walls, the Military is to use any means to ensure the safety of all civilians."
Agnarr narrowed his head. He understood the practicals of Code Titan and knew it meant placing things under the command of his father. Though he trusted his father with the safety of the city and public, he was concerned with most of his methods of doing so. Yet even still, this was a matter of public safety and protocol insisted this be a military operation.
"I'm giving you authorization to handle this situation," Agnarr then said, glancing up to him.
"But your forces under no circumstances are to use missiles."
"Yes, Governor." Ruenard said, nodding his head.
Kristoff continued to maneuver through the street, avoiding all other vehicles and banshees that flew in from above. There were so many of them flying overhead.
Something hit the back of the truck, causing it to jolt upwards.
"What is that?!" he said glancing back.
Anna and Elsa looked back through the back window, where they saw a bright green banshee standing in the back of his truck. The banshee stood up as it began to hit the roof of the truck. Elsa and Anna gasped as a large dent suddenly formed above them.
Kristoff glanced forward.
"Not my Truck!" he said, turning the wheel.
He swerved the truck from left to right. The Banshee was thrown from side to side, struggling to keep balance over the truck. Flapping it's wing, it attempted to pull the truck into the air. Lifting the back end into the air, only for it to prove too heavy.
"Wow, wow!" Anna gasped as the truck was lifted into the air.
Kristoff quickly put it into four wheel drive as he pressed hard on the gas peddle. The banshee felt itself being pulled along. Finally, it released the back of the truck, causing it to land with a sudden thud.
Glanced to his rear view mirror, Jack saw the banshee was still chasing them. The banshee cocked its head to them before letting out a loud hollering. It them flew down toward them.
"It's still behind us!" he said.
"Hang on!" Kristoff said, as he turned the wheels.
The truck then swerved to the right in attempt to evade the banshee. Just as it was to pounce over the back of the vehicle, the truck had gotten out of the way, causing it to crash over the street. Kristoff glanced back in the rear view mirror and saw the banshee laying over the road behind them, hollering.
He uttered a sigh of relief.
"That was close." he said, turning forward.
There was a loud propelling sound getting louder and louder. Jack and Kristoff glanced up and saw a gunship being pounced on by two banshees, forcing it down to the ground. Kristoff gasped as he slammed on the breaks. His truck slid to a stop just as the gunship crashed over the street in front of them, erupting in a sudden blaze of fire.
"Wow!" Anna said in awe.
Kristoff glanced back at her and Elsa.
"Everyone alright?" He asked.
The two sisters nodded their head.
"Yeah, we're fine." Anna insisted to him.
Jack glanced up at the crashed scorpion. The flaming wreckage laid in the middle of the road with the one of the Banshees laying over top of it.
"Jesus." he said.
It was right at that moment that they saw several military vehicles driving from around the wreckage. Several Humvee like vehicle drove passed them, the turrent over top firing up at the banshees.
"We gotta get inside, now!" Jack said, turning to Kristoff.
"I can't get through." Kristoff said, pointing at the wreckage in front of them.
Jack glanced to the inte next to them. The apartment building they lived in was just a few blocks from here. There was no way they would make it to the shelters. Not with the military coming this way. Nor with all the banshees swarming around. They were siting ducks out here as it was.
He glanced to Kristoff.
"Quick, go that way," he said.
"Our apartment just a few blocks from here!"
Kristoff pulled the lever to reverse and pulled the truck back. He then shifted back into drive and drove ahead down the intersection.
Godzilla trudged through the forest below him, the trees crumbled under his feet. He came up into a clearing, where the star had crashed. It was there that he saw a large meteor, pulsing a bright red light. He stared down over the meteor, growling. His dorsal fins pulsing a bright blue light.
Honeymaren and Ryder came out over a ledge in the nearby hills. It was there they saw Godzilla standing over the crash site of the meteor. His dorsal plates continued to pulse. Ryderheld up his arm, shielding his eyes from the light.
"(What's happening?)" Ryder said, glancing to his sister.
Honeymaren squinted her eyes. She came up over to the edge, where she glanced down at the meteor, pulsing a bright red light. She glanced up to Godzilla, seeing him stare so agitated down over the meteor.
"(It's a warning.)" she said, glancing back at her brother.
"(Warning?)" Rydar said.
"(Of what?)"
"(An ancient evil.)"
The two glanced back and saw Yelena coming up over the ledge.
"(Mother!)" Honeymaren said, turning to her.
Yelena came up to the edge of the ledge. She peered down over the asteroid pulsing a bright red light. She stared in horror at the sight. Widening here eyes in shock, shaking her head.
"(It cannot be.)" she said.
"(Mother?)" Honeymaren asked, as she came next to her.
"(What is it?)"
There were several loud bellows from above. Ryder glanced up to the sky above, where he saw a horde of Banshees flew from overhead.
Godzilla glanced up at the many banshee's which flew over him. He growled at them, causing many to holler and fly back from him. Godzilla turned and roared, his spikes pulsing a bright blue. The banshee's flew back in mid air before from the monster king.
It was as she had feared. She glanced back to her two children before she uttering the very words which the tribe feared would come.
"(The Destroyers have come.)"
