Thunderbird 2 stops suddenly!

Virgil:

What's wrong Scott?

Scott:

I've just realized! My grapple is still attached to the tower. Virgil, you'll need to attach your grapple to the tower whilst I re-position.

Virgil:

F.A.B!

KABOOM! BANG! BANG! BANG! The fire still continues to grow and explode, burning through the building wildly.

Scott:

Now let's not waste any time around here Virg.

Thunderbird 2 flies alongside Thunderbird 1, directly parallel to Scott. A grapple is lowered from the front of Thunderbird 2, like seen in Thunderbird 6 (1968). He fires much lower down the tower, as the grapple then sticks to the wall of the trembling building. Thunderbird 1 then releases its grapple from the tower, as it is retracted back. Then, Scott re-aims and then fires next to where Virgil grappled on to. BANG! KABOOM! POW! KABOOSH!

Ok Virgil! You can let go. And step on it because that tower is gonna go any minute now!

Virgil:

Right!

Thunderbird 2 releases grip over the tower, before turning back around and lowering the grabs back into position. KABOOM! BANG! The fire still roars and explodes furiously. CLAMP! Thunderbird 2 grabs the top of the tower.

Ok. Lifting now.

With Thunderbird 2's grabs sharply grabbed onto the tower; she pulls back up slowly as the top of the building is ripped off. The metal breaks off, snapping and exploding more wreck off. The people Virgil take away are now safe.

Touching them down now.

Scott:

F.A.B Virgil! Nicely done.

Virgil:

Thanks.

KABOOM! POW! BANG! The tower still is in grave danger of about to topple down! As Thunderbird 2 flies over a few streets safe from the tumbling building, dropping them down carefully whilst the fire tenders begin driving to collect them. Virgil releases the top with the grabs before he blasts back up and races back towards the tower. Scott then begins receiving too many distress calls at once.

Scott, I'm on my way back now!

Fire Brigade:

International Rescue, we can't hold out the fires around here much longer!

Stranded Caller:

International Rescue, we can't hold out in the tower for much longer!

Fire Brigade:

International Rescue, we need you, now!

Stranded Caller:

International Rescue, we need you, now!

Scott:

Alright! Just hang in there everyone!

Virgil:

Thunderbird 1, I'm alongside! How are we going to get those people from inside the tower? We don't stand a chance of getting through to them!

Scott:

I know Virgil. I can't hold her up for much longer!

Stranded Caller:

International Rescue, the f...fire! It's... it's getting... too... too hot!
