Chapter 27: Facing the mystery
Jawara is now heading straight to San Francisco trying to rescue as many people as he can, the thunder tornadoes were there, destroying thousands and thousands of lives, you can see how people are running in vain to find shelter. Jawara takes out some people with his laser beam and sends them somewhere else to be safe. Unbeknownst to him, Iris somehow managed to record all the events. The 25 tornadoes merge into one, forming a mega thunderstorm, Jawara manages to get 15 more people out, at that moment, the thunder tornado sucks him in, as the Airspace-wanderer is severely damaged, Jawara can't get out of it. The people on board the plane scream desperately
_We're going to die!
_That thing is going to electrocute us!
_ Let's resign ourselves to the fact that we're going to die
The Airspace-Wanderer is electrocuted much worse than a single lightning bolt can do to a tree, which makes it shake a lot and makes it almost impossible to stand up inside.
Jawara communicates with the passengers to keep calm
_"Crew, this is the captain speaking, I will make a request to get out of the tornado, it would help me a lot if you stay calm, I can get you to safety"
As Iris managed to film, she publishes an article in the company where she works, she also communicates it to the rest of the world with the help of more reporters.
_Here Iris Patterson, we are observing the fusion of 25 tornadoes into one, but we also see how the Airspace-wanderer was taken away, will the passengers manage to survive? We are yet to see what will happen.
The thunder tornado begins to rise and, worse still, it heads towards the Atlantic Ocean. Jawara is extremely desperate and distressed, people keep shouting for help, Jawara cannot maneuver the Airspace-wanderer, adding that he does not have a co-pilot. Suddenly, he begins to feel that the plane wants to disintegrate and electricity wants to enter it. The tornado had already thrown them into the ocean! Water slowly starts to enter the plane and worse yet, the tornado had not disintegrated, people scream in terror, Jawara leaves the cockpit and organizes the passengers to go down to an emergency compartment, people lose their balance and stumble since the plane was no longer stable enough to walk, water starts to enter at high speed, the tornado's electricity enters with great force, fortunately, they manage to enter the compartment in time, you can hear how the entire Airspace-wanderer burns and the water destroys it, you can hear how the compartment burns from the outside, suddenly, you no longer hear the plane burning, you only hear water. The Airspace-wanderer was already 1,500 m underwater, the compartment is keeping them alive for the moment, there is no way to contact anyone, the plane continues to sink, Jawara knows that at any moment the compartment will break and everyone will drown, Jawara does not give up and tries to contact Dorothy to go help them, remembering that her car has the ability to dive into the sea and can fly.
Dorothy, following the tornado, finds where Jawara and the other people sank.
_What happened to Jawara! - Blossom says very distressed.
_I don't know, what I do know is that that mega tornado sucked up the Airspace-wanderer.
_Please, Dorothy, find him! But I also beg you to go help the people of North Africa.
_I can't do that.
_No! If you can, you have to do it, you saved many people before, why not save people now? You promised you would help us! Don't forget our deal
_Things are done with order and precision.
_ Then with order and precision they will know that you are an alien, and your father is a maniac alien who wants to destroy the Earth.
_ Stop lying! If you don't look for us and forget about the existence of the alien race, you don't have to fear that we will destroy you.
_ I doubt it! Many scientists study space, I don't think they can hide for long, much less with much....
At that moment, Jawara manages to contact the Fast Sea Car
_Dorothy! I need your help, the thunder tornado threw us into the Atlantic Ocean and we are now 2,000 m underwater
_What are you saying! - Blossom exclaims extremely distressed
The tsunami forms and goes straight to North Africa, and drags the Airspace-wanderer with it
_Dorothy! We have to save it! The tsunami is going to destroy the Airspace-wanderer
_The fact that it is in the depths of the sea is already a problem
Dorothy and Blossom see from above how the mega tsunami forms, it has a height of 800 m, the Airspace-wanderer is going straight to be dragged by it.
_Blossom, are you ready for me to debut the Fast Sea Car as a submarine right now? - says Dorothy.
_What are you saying? The tsunami is going to drag us away! - says Blossom feeling afraid.
_Well, you already experienced the alien attacks firsthand, does this scare you?
_ Do not underestimate the power of the
nature.
On the other hand, Jawara is still looking for a way to keep the Airspace-wanderer afloat, the compartment still gave them oxygen, but it is a matter of minutes before it breaks and everyone in there drowns.
_ How do you plan to get us out of here now? - asks a passenger
_ We are going to die!
_ Can you save us like you saved people from the black hole?
At the moment, they can feel the sea throwing them with force, Jawara manages to stabilize the Airspace-wanderer from the compartment by removing all the water, they come to the surface, Jawara tries to get out of the compartment.
_ Don't open! We are going to drown! - says a passenger stopping him by the arm
_ The water has already left the plane! - said Jawara - I have to maneuver it because if not, everyone here is going to drown.
Jawara leaves the compartment, people close it tightly and do not return to their seats out of fear, Jawara fixes the plane to the point that the water can no longer enter, but he still cannot start. He runs to the cockpit, when he arrives, he cannot turn on the plane, it is too much work, many of its functions were still activated and that is why he was able to fix the water problem effectively, although the Airspace-wanderer could do wonders, it was already very damaged, adding to the lack of a co-pilot. Jawara can see how the plane was already on the surface, but he could also feel how the plane rose upwards, he saw the Earth in the distance, it was North Africa about to be devastated by the mega tsunami in a matter of seconds, Jawara contacts Dorothy again.
_The tsunami is going to sweep me away, Dorothy! I need you to help me!
_We're going! I need the Fast Sea Car to be in a position to enter the sea
_Dorothy- says Blossom- for the love of God, save some people! Many lives are going to be lost!
_I understand that you are altruistic, but I can't do it.
_Yes, yes you can! The Fast Sea Car can fly at high speed.
_Order and rules must always prevail, and if I do, I will do it the right way.
_Dorothy!
At the base of the Legion of the Sentinels
_ We have records of Margaret Townsend- said Dae-Hyun- only Michael Tyndale and his wife know that she is a warshapian, an alien who is an undercover spy for INFINITY, to hide her identity, she pretended that a young member named Sigrid was her sister. So everyone there believes that she is human.
_ How long can it take the members of FIREFLY to know that there is a spy among them? -said Jonathan- because the point is not that there is a spy, a spy can be discovered soon, can be discovered after a long time or never, but we are not talking about a human, we are talking about an alien.
_ They will only know until Michael Tyndale tells the truth about her or Maggie decides to reveal her identity- said Cameron- if she were a Sentinel, she would be Sky Panther but a woman.
_ She may be 7 thousand years old but relatively she is a young woman of 24 in our human age- said Diana- What is INFINITY going to do to her!
_ I see that you care a lot about her- said Elaine
_ I spent a lot of time with the Townsend children during the time that you were kidnapped, I became very fond of Margaret.
_ She is her doppelgänger- said Fiorella- she is not your daughter, Diana, she is not Cameron's daughter. I don't see it logical that we worry about her!
_ Fiorella, with all due respect- said Cameron- if you decide to say that because they are doppelgängers they do not deserve to be seen as we see our loved ones on Earth, it is your decision, but you are not going to stop me from being Margaret's doppelgänger or not, she is my little girl. And if you want me to use this terminology, your husband's doppelgänger will have to walk over my corpse before he kills her.
_ Cameron! I am not here to say that now, yes, I will say a lot of doppelgänger but even so, as I still miss Yoann a lot, I still see him in his doppelgänger, you should be more considerate with what you say!
_ Shut your mouths, both of you! - said Dae-Hyun- it is possible that we will advance certain missions now that Armin Blake already knows about the existence of The Fighting Cats and his daughter Dorothy already knows that Blossom Malenfant knows partly about the alien existence. That's what we need to focus on now!
The Tsunami is just seconds away from hitting North Africa, people start running in anguish, the tsunami hits and so does the Airspace-wanderer, it is falling and crushes many houses, Jawara tries to resist the hard blows it is receiving, the Airspace-wanderer loses both of its wings, it can no longer fly, Jawara receives many blows due to the force of the tsunami. On the other hand, Blossom shows her fury when she sees that Dorothy does not help people.
_What's wrong with you? - says Blossom very angry - We must save these people!
_Not now Blossom! - Blossom throws herself against Dorothy trying to take the wheel and go help the people who are being swept away by the mega tsunami and save her husband, the Fast Sea Car
loses control and starts spinning around, falls into the sea and drags him along with her. Since Dorothy had already activated the submarine function, nothing happens to them.
_That's enough Blossom! If you keep going like this I won't be able to save your husband and we're both going to die.
_I'll have to reveal what I already know
_ That's not possible, because if you die, the secret will die with you
Dorothy stares at Blossom, she feels a little intimidated but still doesn't give in, she feels a certain familiarity when she sees Dorothy face to face.
The Fast Sea Car goes with the current of the tsunami, Dorothy and Blossom can see everything that the tsunami is destroying, they see many people, cars, houses, among other things. Blossom keeps insisting to Dorothy to help some people, but Dorothy doesn't listen to her. Why doesn't she want to help anyone now? If she really doesn't care about people, why when the storm Leslie hit Germany, did she help many people? Or is she showing favoritism? Is Dorothy displaying natural Warshapian characteristics or is she giving free rein to her Mystery Girl nickname? As Dorothy drives the Fast Sea Car, Blossom watches Dorothy closely, suddenly seeing her eyes glowing, the same color as the lights in the Shadow Hole, the same color when she went to help her from the spaceship attack: very bright navy blue. She remembers her husband saying the time he saw her crying next to the Shadow Hole, her eyes looked like that, and she was crying in pain. It was logical that she was still grieving for her mother and her sister (who also doesn't know that she is alive) but neither she nor her father know all the details, such as that Fiorella died here on Earth. Blossom feels a certain degree of fear now. Blossom remembers what she saw exactly in the hole of shadows: the silhouette of a life, a life that seemed not to be human, the lights, the screams that came from that place, the ships that chased Blossom, the truth about INFINITY, Armin Blake, The Fighting Cats, the existence of the Multiverse, made her much more afraid than ever. Dorothy acts very strange, she seems to be a woman more given to reasoning than to the heart (personality characteristics and philosophy of the Warshapians). There were many questions to answer.
_Look! There is the Airspace-wanderer, let's go for it- says Blossom.
Dorothy, with the attraction ray of the Fast Sea Car, saves the Airspace-wanderer, takes it to the surface and they go far away, leaving behind the people who die in the gigantic tsunami, much despair is heard, but Dorothy decides not to go back. Blossom is very grateful, but she is very angry with Dorothy, Dorothy should have helped those people, Dorothy takes the Airspace-wanderer back to the United States, Blossom could not take it anymore and begins to cry bitterly. When they finally go down to Earth and help Jawara out, they find a very sad scene: the people Jawara saved died, the compartment broke and all the people drowned and, but still, the sea dragged them, so they were not there, Jawara leaves the plane dizzy and weak, and seeing that the people did not survive, he sits on the floor and screams with rage and pain, his mother arrives and tells him: "I told you", that makes his agony grow stronger. Blossom looks defiantly at Dorothy, she is furious with her, it is not possible that she has not helped anyone. She is also not happy to see that her husband did something reckless, but she is much more angry with Dorothy, seeing that she did not want to save anyone, you can see Dorothy walking away, her gaze denoting pain and indignation.
_You are a damn wretch! - Blossom yells at her, she could not even want to take it out on her due to the enormous rage she felt, until she was finally able to get out only a small part of her rage. She continued crying bitterly.
Dorothy turns to look at her, they look at each other for a few minutes, until Dorothy breaks the ice.
_Don't get carried away by what your eyes see - after telling her that, Dorothy walks away leaving Blossom full of pain, you can hear how the ambulances arrive for Jawara, who had fainted due to the strong blows she suffered from the tsunami. Thanks to Dorothy, he survived, it was a matter of seconds before Jawara lost his life, the design of her creation helped a lot, but it was not enough. Blossom sees how they take her husband to the hospital, she is very angry with him, she decides not to get into the ambulance due to the anger she felt. Although she can see how the paramedics take her husband away, she loses track of time, the paramedics go to her and talk to her, but she does not hear anything, her gaze was lost, there was no way for Blossom to think rationally, the ambulances move away with their loud siren and Blossom remains standing there for a long time.
The press arrives to interview Blossom, among them was Iris
Blossom can't hold back and tells the truth: she's talking about Jawara's recklessness, as her emotions dominated her, she dedicated herself to speaking only from the heart, so she spoke badly of her husband to the press. She also said that Dorothy decided not to save anyone, that makes Iris feel indignant too, she begins to feel a certain degree of resentment towards Dorothy as well. Surprisingly, she didn't say anything that she already knows. Joshua arrives and takes her away from the press.
_ Blossom, I know you have reasons to be furious, but you must calm down now, think about your baby!
_ You don't know, my brother- said Blossom a little calm- those poor people! There are things that are not in our hands to do, but if they were in that woman and she decided not to help, that's what bothers me the most!
_ Yes, I know, but it seems that you took out more of your anger on Jawara than on Dorothy, you're just like dad, you know? Like him, you are more prone to wanting revenge.
_ I do it more for my loved ones, I would not tolerate at all if they caused much harm to those I love, that unfortunate lady for whom dad went to prison... for example.
Joshua lets out a sigh, Blossom continues thinking and thinking if she should or should not tell the truth.
The next morning, Dorothy goes to see Yadir, she wants to meet the one she felt love for at first sight, that same day he was discharged, so he was already in his apartment. Fortunately, in the earthquake that occurred, Yadir did not suffer any damage, he only floated at the moment when gravity was lost, but he did not suffer any damage. Dorothy knocks on the door, Yadir opens his door and cannot believe what he sees: It is his love in person! She was more beautiful in person than in the photo, what characterized this girl is that she had a tense look and denoted firmness, in contrast to Yadir, whose look was peaceful and reflected kindness.
_Hello, my name is Dorothy Webber, and yours?
_I....I... I'm Yadir Patterson, uuu... uuu... nice to meet you- Yadir hesitates to see Dorothy- my brothers and my friends already told me about you.
Dorothy smiles and lowers her gaze, although deep down she knows it's true, and suspects that Yadir must already have doubts about her. Dorothy is a firm, bold, tenacious, idealistic girl, very attached to the rules, orderly, honest, precise, fair, with impressive ethics, as well as being stubborn and headstrong, but deep down she is very loyal and benevolent. Unlike Yadir: he is a modest, peaceful, diplomatic, conciliatory, conservative, kind, receptive, flexible and very generous boy.
_You know, Dorothy, you're much prettier in person than in photos? - Yadir is embarrassed by what he said to Dorothy - Dorothy, I'm sorry, really, I didn't mean to
_ Oh yeah? Don't tell me, do you like the "mystery girl"?
Yadir is surprised by what Dorothy said, it was clear that she knows about the conversations they've had about her.
