We see Thunderbird 1 flying towards the left hand of the screen before we cut to see Scott Tracy inside.

Scott:

Thunderbird 1 to Thunderbird 2, what is your ETA to the danger zone?

We cut to see Thunderbird 2 flying to the left hand of side of the screen again. Alan and Gordon have joined Virgil. Scott's voice is heard over the radio.

Virgil:

Scott, we are ten minutes behind you.

Scott:

F.A.B. Oh wait, that must be it.

We cut to see Scott in Thunderbird 1.

The R.Y. Skydancer.

He sees it in the starboard hatch of his craft. The Angels are pursuing it.

I can see it on starboard, around two thousand feet below me. The Angels are on it's track. That means we've found what we're after. The situation could go critical. I'm going down to assist.

Thunderbird 1 descends down alongside the Angels.

Destiny:

International Rescue, we have destroyed the other Skydancers. Now it is this one that's left. The pilot is making for a crash dive for the power plant.

Scott:

I see it, Destiny. Thunderbird 2 is right behind. I hope the others will make it out around the power plant if the situation calls for it.

We see Stingray rushing through the oceans of the water.

Troy:

Maintain accelerating at rate 6, Phones. We're almost there.

Phones:

P.W.O.R.

We see the Jet Air Car and Supercar over the water of the sea.

Professor McClaine:

We will assist where and when we are needed.

The crew of the Supercar spot the Skydancer, Thunderbird 1 and the Angels in the air.

Jimmy:

Look. Up there. That must be them.

The Skydancer continues heading down.

We gotta do something to help them.

Mike Mercury:

No, Jimmy. We will only get in their way.

Thunderbird 1 and the Angels continue trying to shoot at the Skydancer, but it's too quick to dodge.

Destiny:

Scott, if we keep firing at it we may miss and hit the power plant instead.

Scott:

Right.

We see Captains Scarlet and Blue aim their Mysteron guns towards the Skydancer where it begins colliding towards the power plant.

Captain Blue:

If we don't get this aim right we may hit one of the Angels.

Heather increases speed and pivots down even further so the craft can continue plummeting down like a stone.

Scott:

Destiny, pull away. It's getting to near to the ground.

Thunderbird 1 and the Angels pull out. The occupants inside the Jet Air Car and Supercar watch nervously. The Skydancer continues charging down. Captains Scarlet and Blue aim carefully. ZAM! ZAM! The craft was hit. The Skydancer then begins dropping down almost vertically.

Captain Scarlet:

We did it, Adam. We did it.

However, the Skydancer drops towards the building!

Captain Blue:

Watch out!

CRASH! KABOOM! KAROAR! BOOM! POW! The aircraft collides at the bottom of the office building. BANG! BOOM! Captains Scarlet, Blue, and CEO Intelligence feel the building shaking erratically. The bottom explodes with fire, making it impossible for anyone to get out from the bottom. The smoke rising engulfed anyone trying to get up from above through the windows. Captain Scarlet's mic swings down and the lights on his shoulders flash white.

Destiny:

Paul, are you alright? Paul?

Captain Scarlet:

We're ok, Destiny. But the atomic station is not safe unless the fire is put out.

The fire only burns at the front of the building, but would soon begin to burn around the rest of the complex and impact a nuclear fallout. Thunderbird 1 and the Angels hover above the air, overseeing the burning flames.

Milo:

Now set the city to emergency power. The generators must still run. We can't shut them down from here.

Captain Blue:

The leak will run into the earth and the water. The whole place will still become a nuclear bomb.

We see the chaos unfold on the monitor for the villains. They begin to cackle watching the devastation.
