As the sun rose we saw a horrible sight. For behind the mound was a wall of fiery smoke. Quickly we conferred with Albert and he agreed. "This is a warning!"
Albert's Words seemed to be prophecy for as the sun rose the pillar of Smoke gleamed with a great intensity. As we looked upon it we saw the way it seemed to be on fire.

I woke roughly a minute before the commotion set off. I Hobbled over to the door and walked out. I looked over to where the kids had said Mike was stationed. I nearly fell over as I took in the light plume of smoke lit a fire by the sun. It was an omen.
The general and his lackeys poured out of the swat truck Excited. "Did he flood his area trying to escape?" The General Exclaimed. The kid from Richard's group came forward again. "This is a waning" Albert exclaimed, The rest of the group quickly formed a half turtle around him. Richard then stepped forward. "He saw us conversing with you."
The General spun around and glared at him. "How the hell would he do that? Richard turned and pointed at a slit in the top of the dirt mound. "He constructed that so he could keep an eye on you guys!" Trip broke in "He saw us rat him out to you boneheads!" The general sneered at him "So now he will watch us beat him" With that an explosive launched from the base of the smoke and exploded chaotically in the sky.
Startled everyone moved back as the smoke actually lit flame and turned into a pillar of fire raging as if an angry god had set it there to show his wrath! They all remained silent As the Pillar raged with animal fury. Overhead news choppers caught the action.
Richard flicked his hand at his group and they resumed their positions They Backed to their original positions and formed a turtle conversing what had just happened.
