Into the facility

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

The Japanese special assault team officers have been driving the infiltrators to the rebuilt facility, while driving, Matthew had a concerned expression on his face. Will he and his father be arrested and get sent to jail? But, he pushed all of the negative thoughts out of his head and continued to remain equanimous.

After a six minutes drive, the Japanese special assault team officers have all made it to the facility. One Japanese police officers wearing a gas mask on his face pointed to the right with his arm which the driver obliged and urned to steering wheel to the right, driving past many personnels in hazmat suits in the process. A brief second later, the car stopped in front of a security barrier where one Japanese officer with an assault rifle on his back walked up to them.

"Koko ni wa nani ga arimasu ka? (What do we have here?)" The officer asked.

"Ken'eki zon ni shin'nyu shite iru no o mitsuketa dansei no hon'no ichibu.(Just some men we found infiltrating the Quarantine zone.)" The officer replied bitterly.

"E to, karera wa tashika ni sore o suru tame ni machigatta yoru o erabimashita. (Huh, they sure picked the wrong night to do that.)" The officer said with a chuckle.

Carlos looked behind him through the van's back door window frame for a moment and saw something very astonishing. In front of him was a giant blue coloured egg, it seemed to be glowing as well. A brief second later, the two officers drove him and his son further into the facility.


On the grounds of the facility, six Japanese workers were seen rushing towards the giant glowing egg with two metallic weapons cases. Once the workers got near the egg, they set the case on the floor and opened them. After that, they brought out stun rods for self defense in case if anything goes off.

"You guys have ten seconds until it shoots out it's EMP."

Suddenly, the egg began to glow quicker and quicker until it let out a small wave of EMP which shock the facility's electronics but thankfully, none of them shut down.


In the control room of the facility, there was a scientist examining the sound wave created by the unknown creature in the egg with a computer.

"Seven point two seconds and getting stronger." Reported the scientist, then, he turned around and looked at Dr. Toshihiro who was standing behind a railing "We're trending exponentially doctor." He told him as he began to move to another section.

Toshihiro has spent fifteen years in studying the giant egg that was found in this nuclear power plant. Not once in his life has he seen something like this. What could possibly be in that egg.

"My gosh, this is worse than we thought." Toshihiro said gripping onto the railing.

"Excuse me, Dr. Toshihiro?" An American worker called him.

Toshihiro turned around and looked at the worker.

"Two men were just arrested in the Quarantine zone." He reported.

"We have bigger problems here. Tell Dr. Satomi to take a look." The scientist ordered.

"She did sir, but she sent me up here." He told him "One of them said to me that he used to work here doctor." He added which surprised him.


On another level of the facility, doctor Toshihiro and his wife were seen making their way to the interrogation room of the facility. While walking, they can hear the heating quarrel occuring inside of that room. Once they reached the interrogation room, Toshihiro and Satomi looked through the window of the room and saw a man in a grey jacket being interrogated by one of their colleagues.

"You're not fooling anybody sir."

"I'm not trying to fool anybody!" Carlos exclaimed furiously "I'm just trying to prove that what happened here fifteen years ago was not caused by an Earthquake, typhoon or any other natural disasters. So please just stop." He pleaded.

The interrogator began to ask him another question but, Carlos immediately cut him off when he let out a vexed groan.

"Look, I'm tired of this conversation." He told him in a irked tone "I want to see my son. I want to know that he's alright." He demanded. Then, he looked at one of the Japanese security officers.

"This guy knows." Carlos said pointing at the security officer "Watashi no musuko wa dokodesu ka? (Where is my son?) He asked in Japanese. Then, he looked back at the man interrogating him.

"I want my son." Carlos demanded "And I want my bag and computer disks." He added as he slammed on the table gently and stood up.

"And most importantly, I want to talk to the person who is in charge." He said "Not you, or you." He finished pointing at his interrogator and the security officer. After that, he turned to his right and looked at the people staring at him behind the glass.

"Alright? You're all looking at me right now, like I'm in a fish tank, right?" He asked sarcastically "Fine. Because I know what happened here." He told them which caught Toshihiro and Satomi's attention.

"And you keep telling everybody that this place is a death zone, but it isn't." Carlos told them "You're all being dishonest. Because, truth here is that all of you are hiding something in here. I'm right aren't I." He asked looking at everyone. And the interrogator inside was flabbergasted by his correct assumptions.

"My wife died here!" He shouted furiously "Something killed my wife. And I have a right to know! I deserve answer and the truth!" He finished with an enraged expression.

When Toshihiro heard this, he looked down on the man's stuffs and saw that he indeed has three computer disks on him. Satomi looked down and saw that the disks dates way back fifteen years ago just like what he had said.

"Look honey, all of these disks were fifteen years ago." Satomi said with an astonished expression.

"I thought that all of the data from that day was lost." Toshihiro said with a bewildered expression.

Toshihiro was going to investigate the disks to see if the man was telling the truth but suddenly, the entire facility began shaking and the lights began to flicker on and off which startled everyone.

"You see? There it is again." Carlos told them "I'm not deranged. That was not an earthquake, it was an electromagnetic pulse. It shuts off all electronics from miles to miles, and it's back again. This is what provoked everything in the first place!" He exclaimed.

"Don't you all see that?!" Carlos asked furiously while looking through the window.

Suddenly, all of the lights around the facility were starting to turn off.


Back in the control room, scientists and workers in the room were seen trying to workout what is happening. The waves on the computer have suddenly skyrocketed up to the roof!

"Pulses are second apart." Said the scientist who talked to Toshihiro. Then, he began to run to the other side of the room "They're getting more powerful, it's affecting the power grid." He told them.

"Any radiation leakage?"

"Gama levels are still zero sir." A worker replied. "It consumed all three reactors dry." He added.

Dr. Toshihiro and his wife Satomi have both made it back to the control room and we're now looking at the giant glowing egg through the window. They noticed that it was glowing more rapidly now. Suddenly, fall bits of shells from the egg began to fall onto the ground which made the Japanese workers take some steps back in fear.

"It's done feeding." Said Toshihiro.

"What's this?" A worker asked snatching a piece of paper away in Satomi's hands. Then, he looked down at it, and what he saw traumatized him "It's the same pattern fifteen years ago. It's what caused the meltdown." He said with wide eyes.

"An electromagnetic pulse." Toshihiro said walking down to the front.

"That's what it's building to." Satomi's said walking down the stairs to the front as well "Converting all that radiation until it hatches." She told them.

"We have to shut down." Toshihiro said.

"Secure the grid!" The boss ordered "Wildfire protocols." He added.

Then, the scientist at the front grabbed a radio and began to alert all of the employees outside.

"All personnel, clear the first perimeter immediately!"


When the order was heard through the speakers, all of the Japanese workers on catwalk platforms began to run away from the giant egg to get black to the ground. One of the workers even pressed a red button which sounded the alarms. Then, the eggs was surrounded with electrical wires.

Back in the van where Matthew is still held in, the Japanese officer inside of the car was being given orders to through a radio. A brief second later, the officer unbuckled himself and got off the van.

"Hey! Where are you going? Hey!" Matthew called but, the officer was already off the van.

Matthew looked in front of him and saw wires covering the egg and a helicopter flying out of the hole. The sight has perplexed him completely.


Back in the control room, the scientist has received words that the grid has been secured. So, he turned around and faced Toshihiro.

"Grid's secured sir." He said.

Toshihiro looked at the egg again for a brief moment and saw that it was still flickering a bit. He wasn't just going to disregard this, he needed to step up the plate. He then let out a sigh.

"Kill it." He ordered which shocked his wife for a bit.

The scientist obeyed the doctor and pressed a button. After that, the wires surrounding the egg began to shoot electricity directly at it. While the electricity was zapping the egg, a loud screech can be heard coming from inside it. It even broke a part of the egg shell which fell on the ground and scattered the employees.

A brief moment later, the pulses on the computer have all died out.

"It's dead."

"Get a visual." The boss ordered.


Back on the ground, a Japanese worker was seen walking up the catwalk platforms stairs to get a clear visual of the egg to see whether it is truly dead or not. It wasn't glowing or producing any other EMPS at the moment which was the first good sign. Once the worker made it up on the catwalk, he walked to one of the cracked areas of the large egg. When he got to it,he turned on his flashlight and shined onto the egg, at first, he saw nothing but mucus and tiny shells but then, he saw something moving in the middle. He was going to take a closer look at it but suddenly, yellow claws and a blue coloured leg shot out of the egg which immediately murdered the worker.

Then, a large blue creature popped out of the egg with it's claws on the ground, his wings also popped out of the egg's sides. A brief second later, it lifted it's right leg up with it's claws glowing white and slammed it on the ground which resulted in releasing an electromagnetic pulse which knocked out all of the electricity in the area.

"My goodness. Check the grid!"

But it was too late, all power has been lost due to the EMP strike.


Back in the interrogation room, Carlos could hear the electromagnetic pulse sweeping through the area. A brief second later, the lights in the room shut off and the door which required a security code to open, swung open on its own.

Even Matthew heard the EMP in the van, he also witnessed all electricity being knocked out. Then, he heard a screeching noise.


"Activate the backup generator." The boss ordered.

A worker obeyed his boss and powered up the back up generator. Once he has pressed the buttons, the power was back on. Then, the workers and scientists inside of he control room saw a large blue coloured griffon which was 210 feet tall! The sight has traumatized them all completely.

"Everybody out! Now!" The boss exclaimed.

Then, everyone in the control room began to evacuate the room.


Back outside, the blue coloured griffon was seen trying his best to break free of his containment situation but, the electrical wires were holding it down.

Meanwhile on the catwalk, Carlos Cade was seen walking on the catwalk to see what was happening after he walked out of the interrogation room. And it was absolute chaos! Many workers were seen running away from something. Carlos turned to his right and saw a large blue coloured griffon trying trying to break free out of the hole.

In the van, Matthew also witnessed the entire event as well as the griffon. He turned around and emergency vehicles driving by him so, he tried to get their attention by banging on the van doors window frame.

"Hey! I'm over here!" He exclaimed but, they couldn't hear him.

Around 20-30 Japanese workers in emergency vehicles arrived in the scene with some carrying weapons cases. But then, they saw the creature slowly raising it's claw above the wires and gripping onto it. This has made the cranes holding the electrical wires collapse onto each other with one falling into the hole.

Back on the platform where Carlos is, the man has witnessed the entire ordeal. He looked behind him and saw a crane falling down into the catwalk that he is on. He looked back in front of him and tried to stop one of the Japanese workers evacuating.

"Wait! Wait! Wait!"

But it was too late, the Japanese worker ran past him and the crane collapsed into the platform which made two of the workers fall to the floor.

Back in the van, Matthew looked out the window and saw a crane falling down towards him so, he stepped back and prepared for the impact. A brief second later, the crane hit the van which made the car roll.

"Matthew!"

After a five seconds roll, the van lied down on its side, the impact also released the cuff that was locked on the pipe, now, Matthew was free, so, he stood up and walked out of the van that he was held in. He then looked in front of him and saw a worker trapped in the crane being dragged to the hole while he was banging on the window for help but, it was too late, the crane has fell down into the hole, bringing the worker down with him in the process.

The falling of the crane has pulled two wires straight which prompted the EOD officer to look behind him. And when he did, he saw his father on a catwalk platform above him.

Carlos looked at his son with a concerned expression on him, then, a brief second later, the catwalk collapsed.

"Dad!" Matthew screamed in terror.

He ran forward to see if he was okay but suddenly, a growling noise stopped him. Matthew turned around and saw something extremely unique, in front of him was a giant griffon that was 210 feet tall climbing out of the hole. Once the creature has climbed out, it began to move forward which made all of the workers scramble out of the area unfortunately, one of the worker was crushed to death by the foot of the creature, and a car was flipped onto its side.

When Matthew saw the creature crawling towards him, he scurried back into the van for shelter. He looked next to him and saw a gas mask so, he grabbed it and put it on his face. Even with the gas mask on, Matthew can still see the 210 feet griffon in front of him.

Once the creature has freed itself, it spread it's blue wings on both of it's sides, and took off into the skies.
