The jet was finally saved filled everyone with relief, but the moment of reprieve was short-lived.
The earth trembled beneath them, a violent shudder that rippled through the ground, making everyone tense.
The air felt suffocating and hot, charged with impending disaster.
Above them, the sky was tearing itself apart, filled with explosions that illuminated the heavens with blinding intensity.
Isabelle's heart raced as she stepped out of the jet, her hand instinctively gripping her scarf against the wind.
The soldiers and researchers followed, all of them looking skyward, their eyes filled with fear and confusion.
"Commander! What the hell is happening?" a soldier shouted, his voice barely audible over the rising wind.
"Is that an earthquake?!" another researcher screamed, his face pale, his hands trembling as he clutched his equipment.
