Thunderbird 5...
(John's POV)
After ending the transmission I get another call,
"Thunderbird 5 come in?" I hear Lady Penelope's voice say
"Thunderbird 5 here" I say
"EuroRail-MonoRail has agreed to manually slow down the train to 200Km/hr" she says
"Good" I say
"Anything else you need John?" she asks
"No that'll be all Lady Penelope" I say
"Ok... FAB 1 out" she says and the call ends so I move back to where I was
"Thunderbird 1 from Thunderbird 5 come in please" I say opening the communication channel
"Thunderbird 1 here... We're just packing up and waiting for dad" Scott says
"Ok... This might make it quicker... Lady Penelope has got the company in charge of the European MonoRail network to manually slow the train" I say
"That's good news" he says
"Sure is" I say
"We should be done soon then" he says
"Report back when the mission is complete" I say
"F.A.B Thunderbird 1 out" he says and the call ends

Thunderbird 2...
(Virgil's POV)
"Nearly finished Alan?" I ask as we finish packing the equipment away
"Yep" he says
"That train is getting closer" Gordon says and the horn can be heard again but even closer
"Yeah" I say
"I'm done here" Alan says closing the last heavy duty equipment storage door
"Ok closing main hatch" I say and press the button to close the pods door and the door slowly rises from the ground and shuts
"How's dad getting in?" Alan asks
"We're flying over to Paris to pick him up" I say and walk over to the door
"Lowering TB2" I say and I pull the red lever near the door and I can hear Thunderbird 2 lower itself onto the pod

After about a minute later I hear the locking systems activate and the door lock release,
"Let's get going" I say and we walk into the cockpit
"Thunderbird 1 this is Thunderbird 2 going to Paris to meet up with dad" I say activating my communicator
"F.A.B I'll catch up soon" Scott says and then we end the communication
"Prepare for take off" I say and I begin the launch procedures
"F.A.B" both Alan and Gordon say

Thunderbird 1...
(Scott's POV)
"Oh no" I say to myself as I see the EuroStar just behind the trees as it speeds through the junction point
"Thunderbird 1 to Thunderbird 5 come in" I say activating my communicator
"Thunderbird 5 here" John says
"You need to evacuate Paris Gare de Lyon" I say " that train just went past here" I finish
"F.A.B" he says and the call ends
"Thunderbird 2 come in" I say changing frequency
"Thunderbird 2 here... What's up Scott?" Virgil says
"Get the first carriage of the EuroStar uncoupled... That train is on a collision cause for Paris Central" I say
"What about the people in the station?" He asks
"John is on that" I say " get everyone in the train to the back and uncouple the lead carriage" I say
"F.A.B" he says and the call ends and then again I change frequencies
"Dad come in? I say but there's no answer
"Dad come in?" I ask
"Dad?" I ask again but there's still no answer
"What the hell's going on?" I ask myself and I prepare for take off to Paris

Paris, Gare de Lyon Station...
(Jeff Tracy's POV)
As I arrived at the station platform I could hear the storm above rage across,
"Right let's do this" I sigh and I get to work walking over to the secondary guide break controls
"Dad come in?" I hear Scott say from the communicator but I don't answer
"Dad come in?" I hear again so I turn off the communicator
"For the last time" I say and I continue to work on activating the guide break as I hear a faint horn
"There's the train..." I say but I continue to work

3Kilometres outside Paris...
(Virgil's POV)
"Arriving at moving danger zone now" I say as we approach the EuroStar
"Activating remote radio relay" Alan says as he press the green button to activate it
"All set Gordon" I say
"F.A.B" he says and he presses the button "this is International Rescue... Please make your way towards the back of the train and uncouple the lead carriage... You only have 15 minutes until you hit the slop to Gare de Lyon" he says
"Yes International Rescue" we get back
"Turn off the lights in the lead carriage to confirm all people are clear" he says and I look out the window to look at the train
"13 minutes" Alan says
"Come on" I say to myself
"The lights are going off" Alan says looking out the window and they were and it was almost instant but all the lights went off
"They're clear... Scan the carriages to confirm" I say
"F.A.B" Alan says going back to his spot
"Well?" I ask
"All clear" he says and at that moment the lead carriage speeds ahead of the others as they slow down
"Thunderbird 2 come in" I hear Scott's voice
"Thunderbird 2 here" I say
"Train cleared?" He asks
"Yep" I say " but the lead carriage is unstoppable" I finish with
"Don't worry John got the station cleared... The final person just left the building" he says
"That's a relief" I say
"Have you been able to get a hold of dad?" Scott asks
"I haven't tried... Why?... isn't he answering?" I ask
"No he's not" Scott says
"The trains on the entry slop" Alan says
"Oh no" I say
"Dad!" Gordon and Scott yell and I see Alan start to cry and Gordon run over to comfort him
"This can't be happening" Alan says and then the train enters the tunnel and then there's the sound of breaking and bricks being smashed
"Land this thing" Gordon says
"On it" I say
_______________________
Gare de Lyon Platform, 1 hour Later...
(Gordon's POV)
After we heard the impact from where we were... We instantly began to land and now we are standing at the platforms edge looking at the impact hole made in the brick wall... strange thing is though is that no blood or body was found after the crash...

-1 Day Later, Tracy Island-

...The world soon found out about our identities since they found the name tag of dad's uniform at the scene of the accident

International Rescue is currently on hiatus due to those events... The world continues calling out but we don't know what to do any more even John came home from Thunderbird 5

Even though there's no body we know that the death of our dad was real...

Paris International Airport, 3 Days Later...
(Mystery POV)
"Flight 229 to New York City is now boarding at gate 16" the announcement said so I got up from my seat and walked to the Gate
"Name and ticket please" the woman attended says
"J. Artcy" I say handing her the ticket
"Yes that checks out... Right throw there sir" she says and I nod before walking through to the plane
"Last call for flight 229 to New York City" the announcement said and as I take one last look at the terminal... I know I'm ready for my new life
