The Curse of Gold II: The Curse Lives On

Chapter 7: Cataclysmic

             As the ship entered the storm, acid rain began to pour. Each drop was heavy. The brewing dark clouds almost blocked the front view of GEA. A panicked Donna decided to head west to pass through the storm barrier.

            "ETA to Navatheas four minutes!" Donna had shouted before lightning struck GEA.

            The rain got heavier. Thunder became more acrimonious. The clouds turned more caliginous. The radio system was static since the storm had blocked it. There was no way to contact anyone outside it. Suddenly, the radar detects that they are almost at the eye of the storm. The rain got cleaner. Thunder calmed itself. The clouds became pure. Everyone braced for landing after Donna made the aircraft dive to escape the storm.

            Finally, they were gone from the hellish storm. Navatheas was beautiful. The crew saw a golden beam spewing out from the middle of the castle. The radar showed that it was the one causing the massive storm barrier. Finding a place to land, the crew began to prepare their suits and weapons.

            They landed at a flat plain on Navatheas. The landing was smooth. Soldiers were the first ones to alight from the aircraft. Then they were followed by the lieutenant and Captain Fernando. Donna stayed with Captain Jones for emergency retreats. As they stepped foot on the land, the clean rain poured. A light mist appeared. Alana and the other crews and the troops scouted the perimeter while Donna watched and Lieutenant Dan watched the radar. They saw green dots on the screen, which indicated the troops. However, they began to see red dots - which indicated hostile enemies - on the radar. The red markings appeared gradually after each beep on the radar. There were many of them.

           "Everyone, you are currently surrounded by several hostile enemies. Prepare your weapons and engage as soon as they attack. I repeat: Enemies are surrounding all of you. Engage once attacked," Donna said.

           The crew separated. As Alana scouted the main castle, she saw a tenebrous man-like creature standing at the top of the donjon. He had claret-glowing eyes that stared down at Alana's. Alana froze. Just when she was about to attack, the creature had moved. Alana felt a cold feeling inside her as she stared right at the unknown creature. It was cataclysmic.
