An excerpt from the journal of Grunt Nicholas Jims
"Troops! Report in! What information do you have?" The general boomed over the speaker. "Sergeant Michael Jim reporting sir: Units five, seven, and nine are down. We have lost the satellite uplink with the Capital as well. Something does not seem right." The Sergeant reported dutifully. "The president has been moved from safe location 4-B to 6-L. Safety hatch has been secured. Evacuating the people now and moving them to Arks Hilddenside, Villsburg, Hiddenburough, and Skylit. The underground world shall hold them and sustain life for at least a thousand years or so." Intel Gatherer Banks said. Just then, all of the moniters blacked out and then turned on again. A man was standing in front of the camera.
"Hello. I take it you have received word that I have shifted the Moon's gravitational rotation, thus altering the tides and such of the planet. Also, the several nuclear missles that I have all ready set off should have been a clear indication that I mean business. The above-ground is no longer safe. With the nuclear gas filling the air, and the Gillicus Strain that I has sent into the world's air stream should kill every animal, every human, EVERY BEING that lives on this wretched ball of mud. I no longer wish to exist here..."
The man paused for a second and then gulped.. As he did, the general yelled at me, "finished tracing the signal yet?" I gasped, "its coming from the main war room! The locks are on manual override! I cannot release the clamps! We can't get in there!" As soon as I had finished, the man, almost as if on a cue of some-sort, started again. "As I said, I no longer wish to live on this planet any longer. I hope you all rot in hell." He unbuttoned his jacket and in it, contained enough bombs to take out the whole main stationed base. "You think that you have saved your nation's leader, as you think you have saved the others. Yet, how wrong you are. This entire feed is being broadcasted worldwide. When the camera goes blank in a few moments as I detonate the bombs. The spies that I have put next to your leaders will set off their bombs." The man pulled the cord and his bombs went off. All went black.
END OF EXCERPT
"What the... what the hell?" I looked at my left side and saw that whole side of my body was covered in ice. The other side, was on fire... What did this to me? How did I survive the bombing? And what was next, I had to find out...
