Thunderbird 2 whisks over the city hurriedly, flying at maximum speed, watching the city above, with the tower in sight.
Virgil:
Tower dead ahead now Scott!
KABOOM! KABOOM! KABOOM! POW! BANG! ROAR! BOOM! KABANG! The city begins exploding in flames! The towers. The standing buildings. The roads and paths.
Thunderbird 1, what's going on? The city is exploding around us!
Scott:
Must be the fires beginning to grow. Unless it's some trick of the IronSword! Doubt it though if he and his army deal with magic and stuff.
KABOOM! BANG! The tower slips more! Scott frowns.
Virgil, hurry it up! She's falling!
Fire Brigade:
International Rescue, the fires are beginning to grow rapidly. We don't think we can control them for very long. Considering the rate and quantity, Washington is about to turn into the fourth of July!
BANG! POW! BOOM! The fire grows on the holding tower as Thunderbird 1 blasts as far as possible to keep the tower steady, which still isn't enough.
Scott:
I don't know how much longer I can take this for. Thunderbird 1 to rescue tower, the smoke and flames will begin to rise. Run up as far as possible in order to escape.
Stranded Caller:
Right International Rescue!
John:
Thunderbird 5 to Thunderbird 1, I've ran a scan Scott. Just that building left.
Scott:
Thanks John. Wish we had of checked earlier.
Virgil:
Thunderbird 2 to Thunderbird 1, coming alongside.
Thunderbird 2 then hovers from above the tower, observing from just above. We then see four stranded people wave from the very top floor.
Right Scott, I see the people at the top. Deploying grabs now.
Scott:
Virgil, is that the best option. I'm not sure I'll have her steady if you take off the top.
Virgil:
That's the only thing we have time to try. Keep her as steady as possible Scott.
Scott:
F.A.B!
Thunderbird 1 does her best to maintain the still position. As the huge red and grey grabs are lowered from Thunderbird 2's pod. Thunderbird 2 then hovers above the wonky tower with the grabs being lowered above only the first few floors. As the grabs are lowered into position before clamping it on, Scott realizes...
VIRGIL, STOP! HOLD EVERYTHING!
