Chapter 10 - CHAPTER TEN: SUPERBOLIDE

A long time ago, humanity was still in the age of industrial development and innovation, it was impossible to predict future disasters, a period were natural disasters was the only threat to man, but an external source decided to put his own salt to worsen the situation.

Records were hidden from the rest of the world and only left access to the most higher ups, even the president of all countries weren't given any accountability, the matter was treated as a terrestrial disaster, all begun on a particular year and time, this events led to the change of the present situation.

In a far distance away from Earth, and beam of light flashes at hight speed covering thousand kilometers in seconds, it level of speed was so fast that, only a flash of light could be seen. A meteorite, the size equivalent to earth's moon was crossing the universe at high speed and it came from an unknown destination, it's trajectory was going directly to an unknown planet far behind Pluto, the beam of light would be later name superbolide, but it's target would never be known in the history of astronomy because....

"BOOOM!!!!" The superbolide collided with the planet distorting it's orbit to move far away into the outer space 'the nothingness', the black planet was swallowed by the darkness of the outer space, as strange miasma could be seen coming out of the planet like clouds of black mist, the superbolide did not stop on his journey, due to the shock, it size and speed had drastically reduce and it's trajectory changed to that of a blue planet 'Earth'.

In a Nazir base camp, and group of soldiers are preparing their arms for war, all of them had nervous expression, the Allied forces are getting stronger and stronger, and the pressure is unbearable, as all of the soldiers were sitting near the fire site; Ketchum was a young man who left his home and joint the military, sitting near the fire site, he looked at his plate of potatoes poorish, "What are we doing here?", he asked but nobody was in the mood to answer, he stared at the sky and thought that, all decisions he took right up to this moment were all mistakes, and now, there is only regrets left, he regrets why he disobeyed his parents on not to joint the military, and forgo the family's plantation.

It is at that moment that, a large flash of light could be seen in the sky, it was illuminating that, some people had to close their eyes, and ball of light could be seen falling from the sky, but it did not take long for the mass to separate into different fragments and dispersing around the planet, one of this fragment happen to pass by Ketchum Groupe, the all saw it and thought it was a missile from the Allied forces, as the picked up their weapons ready to die for their country.

The flash of light came in contact with a farmland field, creating a large crater, the German forces came first as the were the first to weakness it, in the crater, a large atone could be seen, the size of tank, it was steaming heat and the air around it was so hot that the could not come closer that twenty meters, seeing this Ketchum realize that, this was not a weapon coming from the Allied forces.

The commander in charge of the operation gave orders very fast, because he feared the Allied forces would sneak attack, and right now, the situation was quite troublesome, these is not found in protocols of emergency?, he thought, so he ordered one of his subordinate to call for reinforcement and alert the higher ups. Taking out the emergency phone out of his large bag, he started sending strange Morse codes, but before he could connect the line of communication.

PAFF.....POW..TRIGGGGGGEEEERRRR

"Don't leave any of those rats to escape, KILL, KILL THEM ALL!!" a group of forces larger than that of Ketchum's group appeared and started firing at them, the messenger was short on the eye, leaving a large hole there, he died on the spot, "Take cover!!" Shouted the German commander, which everybody obeyed without asking questions, unfortunately Ketchum was closer to the large hole, as he turn to run for cover, and bullet caught him off guard on his left leg, which made him fall, missing the opportunity to hole onto something he fell like a bag of sand inside the hole, eventually he screamed out of pain, both from the heat and his wounds, and fear, his fall was stopped by the large rock in question, and if one of Ketchum companion was here, the would have freak out on Ketchum conditions, Ketchum stayed motionless on the spot and did not move, he was unconscious or maybe death.

Meanwhile, outside of the large steaming crater, a fierce battle was going on with sparks of lights and running bullets with beautiful lightening taking away souls at each minutes, the German forces were overwhelmed by the forces of their rival, the have already lost five soldiers know only fifteen was left, the were not prepared for this, the had to join their main force and prepare to raid France but now, the are going to die without even accomplishing this mission, the commander was depressed and fell that life was heavy on him, he wanted to end all, but soon he saw the determination of his soldiers, in his mother tongue he spoke.

"My companions, we will surly die today" all soldiers carried resolute expression knowing their fate, "but...are we going to die like sheeps?, Not me for sure, I would rain on them with the last blood I have for, I love my country, I would fight for it to the end, today I stand as your commander to show you the right path to be a hero!!" A suicider tone could be heared from the Commander's speech, and all the soldiers were prepared, "who is with me?!!" He shouted, "we will all die like brothers!!" Said all the soldiers, "Yes for are country and conviction we fight, Charge and destroy them to the end!!" The Commander's shout pushed the soldiers to run inside the battle field and forgo their cover, ignoring the rain of lightening and shower bullets taking their lifestyle one by one, but as one of them sucked in coming clo9to the Allied camp, and flash erupted from his body, forcing the closest Allied forces to shout in disbelief and fear.

"CAMIKAZE?!!", "BOOOOOOM!!!"

The smoke created by the explosion, blinded the Allied troops rendering visibility zero, this angered their actual commander, Christopher Collins, who got enraged and ordered that the should shoot anything that move, so the troops started shooting inside the smoke, and screams could be heared, General Collins smiled at the hearing of those screams, which was like melody in his ear, "keep shooting, none of those rats should run" He ordered, and after twenty minutes of firing, the engine stopped, and everyone expected the end but..

FEWWWWIIIIIIII....TOCK, something fell on the ground, near a soldier, the soldier in question looked at the object and screamed, but too late, "A grenade!!" Boom!!, the shock swallowed the soldier and it was the beginning of the counter attack.
