95 Unthinkable (1/2)
As the building burnt down it became a clear beacon in the night. It drew the gaze of others from nearby factories and pedestrians on the street. The raging flames made every passerby on the street wonder what happened as they drew closer to the steel mill.
Sirens blared in the distance as they steadily neared the compound. It looked like madmen were behind the wheel as multiple DCPD cars swerved all over the street to get to the scene of the fire faster.
The purifiers tried to tend to the wounded at hand with little hope. There were far too many people to save and the burning building falling down wasn't helping. As the DCPD came even closer along with the prying eyes of other people the purifiers really started to feel the heat on them.
Leopold who had been assigned to help guard the perimeter was almost speechless when he learned the cause of the whole situation. ”I can't believe Cornel actually lost his mind and started killing everyone like that. It makes no sense Cornel is a good man with a heart of gold he would never do such a thing”.
A short man who overheard what Leopold said, ”whether you believe it or not doesn't change what happened”.
Leopold looked over at the short man to see it was Randolph who he was talking to. Randolph was second in control when Cornel was around now he is the interim leader until someone else is appointed.
”Randolph, I know it will change nothing, but you knew Cornel better than me this mess must be a trick set up by some magi”. Leopold uttered as spit escaped his mouth ever time he flapped his lips.
”It might be it also might not finding out the truth will have to wait until after we deal with this mess. The DCPD stationed around here is apart of the purifiers so we don't have to worry about them. I also already made people stay behind to keep people from wandering in. We just need to make everything look like a normal fire and hope nothing else happens. Until I can inform our cities representative of what happened”.
Leopold wasn't a fan of having to wait for anything he wanted immediate action to be taken. For the sake, his fallen friends especially to clear Cornel's good name. He was filled with sorrow and rage the two feelings made Leopold tense up and yell at the sky in his anger.
Leopold heaved heavily as the scene of the starry sky filled his eyes. The beautiful stars calmed him down a bit as they twinkled with an immaculate luster before hundreds of the stars in the sky turned deadly and came crashing down on the compound.
It happened so fast Leopold didn't even have time to switch to an afterthought before everything turned to white in his eyes. The falling stars drowned the purifiers in a sea of explosions that none had any hope of escaping from.
The hundreds of repetitive explosions severely damaged surrounding buildings, cars, and destroyed windows. Caused nearby civilians to cower in their home, on the streets, and at their workplace in complete fear for their lives.
Robert who was at a nearby convenience store was already surprised by the first explosion but became completely gobsmacked when the force from all the hundred other explosions pushed him back and forced the DCPD cars rushing to the compound to flip over.
When everything was over the people nearby still willing to poke their heads out bared witness to the aftermath of what happened. There was nothing left of the steel mill a molten crater replaced were it once stood.
As for the perpetrator behind such an unthinkable act, she was leisurely sitting on top of a building a few miles away playing with her black tale as she looked up at the stars.
