CHAPTER 2: Hurricane Heather

 

Over Ried Continent, Caitlyn was on the plane headed to Unison Continent. She was watching the Bob Owen show. It was the segment with High Priest Lee. Caitlyn's necklace started glowing again. The flight attendants were handing out food. Suddenly, the plane shook violently. The flight captains turned on the seat belt signs.

Pilot: Ladies and Gentlemen, if I could please have you return to your seats and fasten your seat belts. It’s going to be a bumpy ride.

In the cockpit, the pilots were fastening their seat belts.

Pilot: The weather service said that there are storms forming within seconds in the area that we are passing thru.

Co-Pilot: Within seconds?

Pilot: Yes, as in it is taking seconds for thunderstorms to form.

Storm clouds started quickly forming. The clouds were very dark gray and some were pitch black. The turbulence made the plane shake violently. A lot of people were holding on for life, some were praying, crying, and a couple people were having fun with it. Caitlyn looked out the window and saw nothing but constant lightning flashes illuminating the thunder clouds.

 Co-Pilot: What should we do?

Pilot: Increase the speed and get out this area.

The pilots made the plane go faster. The turbulence stopped and they were finally in the clear.

 Pilot: Well, you don’t see that every day.

AT RIED DISTRICT.

Jolin, a beautiful Asian young lady, was training her martial arts in the gym. Her friend, Lalaine, a Hispanic young lady, walked in in uniform.

 Lalaine: Jolin, guess what?

Jolin: What’s up Lalaine?

Lalaine: Guess.

Jolin: You're pregnant?

Lalaine: NO!

Jolin: You're going to try to get pregnant?

Lalaine: No. Okay stop guessing.

Jolin: Then what is it?

Lalaine: I passed the Instructor's Test this morning and they are promoting me to Instructor also. They're transferring me to the Unison District today just like you.

Jolin: (excited) Yes, so both of us are going to Unison District. Thank God, I thought I was going to be there all alone.

Lalaine: Yup. Why are you in here training? Shouldn't you be getting packed? The flight leaves in like 2 hours.

They heard a loud clap of thunder outside so they ran to the hallway. A lot of people were gathered looking out the window. It was downpouring.

 Lalaine: I thought was wasn't supposed to get rain today.

Jolin: Well hopefully they don’t cancel the flight because of the weather or else we won’t be leaving until tonight.

ON TANAMO CONTINENT

There was a tour group taking a tour through the jungle.

 Tour Guide: As you can see, our jungle is the world's most luxurious jungles on the planet.

Tourist 1: What about the reputation of it being the planet's most dangerous jungle.

Tour Guide: It just depends on what part of the jungle you are in. There are a lot of dangerous creature lurking around, along with poisonous plants and insects. You must know what part of the jungle they reside in. Our tour path does not cross into any hostile territory. Now ladies and gentlemen, once we get up this hill, you will see the most spectacular view of Mt. Finine.

They made it up the hill and the crowd was amazed by the view of Mt. Finine. Mt. Finine is a dead super volcano the size of Mt. Everest. The tourist got out the bus and started taking pictures.

 Tour Guide: Mt. Finine is the world’s largest super volcano. Its last eruption was about 300,000 years ago; in which it was an extinction level event.

Tourist 2: Is it dead?

Tour Guide: Yes, it is. We don’t have to worry about an eruption in our lifetime.

A mini tremor shook the ground. The tourist and tour guide looked around in confusion. The tour guide looked at the base of the volcano and saw there was steam coming from it. Deeper into the jungle, two forest rangers were walking.

 Forest Ranger 1: Another scenario, what if a huge bear pops out of nowhere and just started beating the shit out of you. Not even eating you, just beating you to a pulp.

Forest Ranger 2: Where the hell do you come up with these things man?

Forest Ranger 1: I don’t know, they just pop up.

Forest Ranger 2 stopped.

 Forest Ranger 1: What's wrong?

Forest Ranger2: Just listen.

Forest Ranger 1: I don’t hear anything.

Forest Ranger 2: Exactly. The jungle isn’t silent like this. We would hear something. Birds, insects, animals running around, it's too damn quiet.

Forest Ranger 1: Wow, I wonder what is going on.

UNISON CONTINENT

In the cafeteria, Markus and Josh was getting food from the buffet.

 Markus: What type of mission do you think it is?

Josh: I'm betting it is either a search and rescue, or a treasure hunt?

Markus: You can’t bet on both; it must be only one thing you're betting on.

Josh: Fine, I bet it's a treasure hunt.

Markus: And I bet it is a search and rescue

Josh: How much?

Markus: 20 dollars.

Josh: You're on.

They sat down and the news was on. It was a weather report.

 Josh: HOLY SHIT LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT STORM!

Markus: TURN UP THE T.V.

Someone turned up the T.V.

Reporter on T.V.: This massive storm developed in just an hour. Storms with this intensity takes about 2 days to get to a category 5 storm. Hurricane Heather is now headed towards the northeast area of Monochello Continent. Everyone on Fort City, and all towns and villages are ordered to evacuate the area immediately before the storm hits.

While they we’re watching the news, a group of students were talking loud. Markus threw his biscuit at them.

Markus: HEY, shut up, we are trying to watch this because we're the ones that will have to do search and rescue when shit hit the fan.

2 Security Guards walked up to Markus and Josh.

 Guard: The Headmaster would like to speak with you in his office. Could you please follow us?

Markus and Josh looked at each other in confusion. As they were walking to the office, they were trying to figure out why they were being called.

Josh: Markus, what you do this time?

Markus: I didn't do anything, what did you do?

Josh: Nothing.

Markus: Did you sleep with his sister again?

Josh: No. Did you kill another one of his dogs?

Markus: No, and the last dog I killed of his was by accident.

Josh: Yeah right.

Markus: Should we just make a run for it and say these guys never came to us?

Josh: We'd have to head straight for the temple.

Markus: Let’s go then.

Markus and Josh started running and the guards chased them.

OUTSIDE GINIA.

In O.W.O.C, Captain Jenkins walked in the headquarters and met up with Adam and Lloyd.

Jenkins: It's been 3 hours and we got a category 5 hurricane that appeared out of nowhere in Ried Continent. How the hell did that happen? You think it has anything to do with the rising heat due to the ozone.

Adam: It's hard to say, but we have a big issue with the hurricane. Besides the winds being clocked at 250 mph and it is producing a shit ton of tornadoes, you need to look at one thing that makes this catastrophic.

Lloyd pulled up a satellite of the hurricane.

Jenkins: It’s already completely out of Ried Continent and head towards Monochello Continent.

Lloyd: You see the areas that are neon green?

Jenkins: Yes, there's a lot of them.

Adam: The hurricane formed over the most polluted area of Ried Continent. Those green spots are areas of highly concentrated hydrofluoric and sulfuric acid.

Jenkins: How do we know that?

Lloyd: There are a lot of reports stating the rain was eating the metal before communications cut off.

Jenkins: Hopefully a lot of people evacuate like they were told.

They looked out the window to view the storm on Ginia.

Jenkins: They called a World Conference, so I must get to Ginia. It shouldn’t last long. You two hold down the fort while I am gone.

Adam: No problem Captain.

Jenkins: Anything else happens let me know so I can let the World Leaders know.

BACK ON GINIA

In the middle of the ocean between Ried Continent and Monochello Continent. A group of hurricane hunters were flying towards the hurricane in a huge plane. There were 2 pilots and 3 meteorologists inside the plane.

 Pilot 1: We will be approaching the storm in 1 minute.

The plane looked like it was headed into a huge cloud wall. The clouds were pitch black with lightning flashing constantly. As the plane made it to the storm, the turbulence became heavy.

M1: Winds are being clocked at 250 miles per hour.

M2: Wow.

Pilot: I can’t see anything in front.

It looked like they were driving at night with no lights on. The lightning illuminated the clouds and rain around them. Then they made it to an area where the clouds turned neon green.

 Pilot: Hey guys look at this.

The glass and metal of the plane started dissolving instantly.

 Pilot: What the hell is going on?

They entered an area of acid rain. The pilots and meteorologist on the plane were killed instantly when the downpour of acid rain dissolved their flesh. The plane crashed near a large group of cargo ships that were getting pummeled by the storm. Large 100 feet tall waves and high wind gusts were tossing all the crates in the ocean. There were also about 20 water spouts that looked like F5 tornadoes, tossing around the ships and crates.

About 5 miles from the group, another large cargo ship was handling the storm by itself. The captain was on the main deck.

Captain: This is bullshit. They said it was supposed to be clear skies all the way. So why are we in a hurricane? They didn't even warn us.

The rain stopped as they entered a neon green area. When the rain returned, it started eating the metal within seconds. The metal all around them quickly dissolved and they were exposed to the rain. The crew screamed in agony as the rain dissolved their flesh. Then a huge waterspout tossed the ship.
