Linda was dropped off in her office by the palace driver. She was just getting along with her work that beautiful morning before she heard that calls came from the company's oil rig, off shore, that some huge dangerous bats had invaded the rig. The company management had informed the Joint Military and Police Task Force immediately so that they can protect the company staff on the rig.
Before the arrival of the Joint Military and Police Task Force on the rig, the deadly bats had attacked and killed some staff working on the rig. The birds are human and animal eater. They are vampire bats specializes in eating flesh and drinking blood. The guards had to start fighting back after they discovered they were vampires.
The guards at the rig thought the birds were the likes that migrate at a particular period of the year. They never knew they were vicious birds. By the time they would realized they are dangerous, they had picked five staff with their claws. The rest of the staff had to take to their heels and ran for cover.
The guards on sighting what was happening, started shooting the birds. There were many birds in number. They invaded the rig all at once.
The guards tried their best in preventing the birds from taking more staff. They shot their riffles continuously at the bats killing some of them.
But the birds did not stop their attacks, they started destroying glass windows. They broke the windows and flew into the offices and residence of the staff to see if they can get the staff inside. They got two staff unaware.
They were carrying them away before the guards engaged them in serious gun fight. They destroyed the bats who dropped their victims on the rig. They were rescued but had been seriously wounded by the claws and the bite from the bats.
It was at this point that the helicopters conveying more troops to support the guards at the oil rig got to the scene. They were three choppers that brought more soldiers to combat the dangerous bats.
As they landed on the choppers platform, about fifty men took positions immediately and started shooting at the birds which are quite many in number. The birds seemed desperate and hungry.
The machine guns in the three choppers could not be used on the birds already on the rig because of the damage they could cause on the equipment. These guns were directed to the birds advancing towards the facility while the soldiers on the rig faced the bats on the rig.
These swarm of bats resisted the fire power of the weapons of the Joint task force for several hours because of their numbers before they were eventually subdued.
The men of the Joint Military and Police Task Force destroyed all the bats with just five of the men sustaining very serious injuries from the bats' attacks.
After the destruction of the vampire birds, the oil rig manager thanks the Captain that led the task force team, Captain Gius Hart, for the rescue operation. He also asked if the captain know where the birds might have migrated from.
We can't ascertain their location for now. But be assured we would find out and destroy them all, he assured the oil rig manager. The task force team then left the rig for their base.
The military intelligence team constituted team of scientist researchers, headed by Captain Charles Jones to investigate what led to the bats growing so huge and becoming vampires. The team proceeded to the oil rig to get blood samples of the giant birds for their tests.
They got their blood samples from the few bird samples the staff on the rig kept aside for the scientists. The remaining birds killed by the guards and joint task force had been thrown into the sea.
The blood samples were brought back to the military laboratory for analysis.
Meanwhile, the birds were regrouping in their hideout to unleash another round of terror on the Ralite city.
It is about 10am in the morning. The 150 sky scraper building owned by Fald Construction Corporation, called Brivania Building, is full of activities. The Fald Construction Corporation is holding her shareholders yearly meeting.
The company hall in the 150th floor is filled with guests. The shareholders were all in the meeting and serious discussion on next level agenda of the corporation were being discussed.
Prince Richmond is in attendance. He is among the directors of the corporation. The meeting has been peaceful since commencement. But after about forty five minutes that the meeting has been in session, unexpected occurred.
All of a sudden, noise came from the glass wall of the building. Bang! Bang! Bang! Everyone attention were shifted to where the sound was coming from. And to the amazement of all the guests, they saw giant bats struggling with the thick glass wall to penetrate it. The meeting was disrupted. The shareholders became panicked. They rushed towards the exit door in a bid to escape.
But the Prince get hold of the microphone and asked the people not to panic. "Please don't panic." "Just remain calm." "Let us not rush so that we won't wound ourselves at the exit doors."
The Prince did not rush with other. He remained seated while his guards who were already in the hall shielded him while pointing their guns towards the glass wall to gun down any bats that penetrate the wall.
While the guests were going out of the hall, the bats were seriously hitting the glass wall with their beaks and claws to break their way into the building. The birds were also everywhere in the city, carrying people walking, in the vehicles and in all unprotected places. The bats were having a feast day already. There claws and terrible teeth were causing menace on the people they had prey on.
There is pandemonium in the city. People are running to hide themselves from the bats. The people in the building where the birds could enter were taken.
Prince had called to inform the head of the Joint task force of what is happening in the city. The General had also instructed his troops to respond to the distress call in the city immediately.
Ten helicopters, military trucks filled with soldiers and 20 military hummer jeeps with machine guns were despatched to the scene immediately.
The choppers engaged the huge bats in gun battle immediately they sighted them in the city. The soldiers were also fighting them on ground. The military hummer jeeps with machine guns were shooting at the birds too. It was an intense fight. The birds were many in number in the city. The residence of the city had all gone hiding from the vicious birds. The streets were emptied, only the soldiers who were combating the bats were on ground.
The Prince and others guests in 150th floor of Brivania Building escaped the bats through the power of the fire arms of the guards with the prince and the choppers that came to their rescue.
The huge bats who had succeeded in breaking the thick glass wall would have feasted on the guests in the building but the power of the fire arms of the guards couple with that from the machine guns from aircrafts destroyed them.
The Prince and other guests escaped on hurt.
Prince convoy was heading towards Linda's office when he called to check on her. "Where are you Linda?" the Prince asked. "I'm in the office and I'm fine," Linda responded. "Hope the bats are not causing any menace in your office," the Prince asked. "No! The soldiers are already in the company premises protecting us," Linda responded. Please hide yourself and don't go out until the situation in the city improves. I will send the palace escort along with limousine to pick you later in the day. Please just remain calm, the Prince advised Linda.
The route to the palace from the Brivania Building was filled with troops combating the giant birds. The Prince's escort were also battle ready shelling bats that come their way as they returned to the palace.
The bats were everywhere in the city. They have respect for nobody. Anybody exposed without weapons to protect themselves were overpower by the bats which then feast on them.
It was a terrible sight but the soldiers on ground, those in the army hummer jeeps with machine gun and choppers with authomatic riffles were everywhere shooting and destroying the vampire bats.
Meanwhile, at the military laboratory, Captain Charles Jones team had discovered from the blood tests of the giant bats that their gene has gone through mutation over the years, when compared with the gene of original bats.
What as lead to these changes in these bats are still unknown to the team. And they need to know their base to answer these questions.
Unknown to the Military Intelligence team, the giant bats were brought to existence by the volcanic eruption that occurred in 1815 on Tambs mountain in Indones. The birds were living in the cave close to this mountain at the time of eruption.
The volcanic eruption whose lava extended to the cave caused destruction of majority of the bats at the time. But some of the birds that survived the fire and the heat were mutated. They became the giant, huge vampire bats over several years. They were initially feeding on animals in their habitat. However, they had grown so big that it is human they want as their prey now.
For the next five days, the army engaged the giant bats in serious gun fight as they continue trooping out in large number to the city. All the military personnel were involved in the battle while the citizens hide from the bats.
The bats did not exempt the king palace. They bombard the palace with all their full strength to destroy people but the palace guards and re-enforcement of soldiers drafted to the palace overpowered the bats in the palace. The King and the Prince did not need to fight in this battle because the military firearms could overcome the invading bats.
The military Intelligence team, headed by General Paul Fred had to quickly come up with the lasting solution to end the bats menace in the city. A meeting of the Military Intelligence team was conveyed and it was concluded in the meeting that the military can only end the violence of the bats by locating their nest for destruction.
So they all agreed that that's right thing to do to destroy the bats. The General therefore ordered the research team to provide the military intelligence team the location of the bats' nest.
Captain Charles Jones and his team swarm into action. They decided to use the military helicopters to trace the bats location. For the next two days they searched all the bats nest nearby and far.
On the third day of their search, they saw the bats coming out of a huge cave near Tambs mountain in Indones very far away from Ralite city.
The bats on sighting the aircrafts around their base came out in mass to fight the military personnels. The gun battle at the cave mouth was with extreme force before Captain Charles Jones and his team could escape the violent bats. They nearly crashed two of the aircrafts.
When the team eventually landed their aircrafts to inspect the cave and it environment, they were surprised with the numbers of bats that rushed out of the cave again to engaged them in another round of fight. Many of the men were injured in the dangerous fight with the bats at the mouth of the cave.
Captain Charles Jones had to quickly stop the inspection and ask his men to return to the choppers. However, the good news is the bats location, the breeding place of the ferocious bats had been discovered.
Captain Charles Jones later called to inform the General Paul Fred of their finding and the assault on his team. Re-enforcement is on the way.
Immediately he got the news, the General ordered military jet fighters to the spot with specific instruction that they should destroy all the bats in the cave without any escaping. That will end the activities of the ferocious birds on humans.
Four military jet plane fighters with missiles were despatched to the scene while Captain Charles Jones and his team withdrawn from the site.
The pilots of the jet plane fighters already have map of the location of the bats' nest. The research team saw the four jet fighters as they were returning to the military base. The jet fighters arrived the location exactly an hour later.
They targeted the mouth of the cave and it environment then projected their missiles to destroy everything within that vicinity. Each jet fighters sent four missiles each to ensure all the bats in the cave and environs were destroyed. They waited for some minutes to see if any bats will come out of the vicinity. But no bats were seen again in the environment.
There were no more vicious bats flying to kill people. The savage birds had been defeated.
