[▪︎Rub'Al-Khali, Saudi Arabia▪︎]

In the largest desert in Arabia, a large military camp that stretched for miles is located in the middle of nowhere with hill-like Sand dunes surrounding the camp in a huge circle.

It was fenced with sentry posts at each corner, giving the camp a square like shape with numerous tents arranged in columns inside of it.

Numerous armoured trucks, helicopters, tanks and a whole lot of military equipment were grouped at the end of the camp.

Many individuals wearing a thobe with guns hanging around their necks walked around the camp conversing in Arabic.

A robust man with a huge rifle slung on his back walked and approached a large tent in the middle of the camp with two guards standing in front of the entrance.

When they saw him, they nodded with respect and allowed him to enter.

Inside the tent, a middle aged man with a huge beard wearing a thobe and a hijab was sitting behind a mahogany desk writing something.

"I greet you Leader."

The man said and bowed with reverence.

Hearing this, the man stopped writing and looked up.

He smiled when he saw the person who greeted him.

"Kareem, how are you today? Do you have anything to report?"

The man asked with a friendly tone.

"Yes Leader. I'm here to tell you that all preparations have been completed. The operation will proceed smoothly in the next two days."

He said in an anticipating tone.

"That's great news! I hope you've successfully prepared the special addition?"

He asked with joy.

"Yes Leader, we have prepared it according to your wishes. But Leader, if you will satisfy my curiosity. Please tell me why we are targeting that particular building? I mean wouldn't targetting that buliding trigger him?"

Kareem asked nervously.

"Kareem, you have been with me your whole life. You should know I dont do things without a reason. I'm doing this to cripple that company, because of his technology the US military has become more powerful than before and this has allowed them to run amoke in the Middle East and that's not acceptable. It's an international company now, but by crippling the main headquarters and America's financial districts we can finally remove them from interfering in our affairs!"

He explained passionately.

Kareem got excited when he thought of how weak that country will become for awhile when they complete their operation.

"Thank you for explaining Leader. Let me leave you alone so that you can continue what you were doing, I will make sure they are no complications in this operation."

Kareem said with a twisted expression and left the tent, leaving the man alone in his thoughts.

'That superhuman is becoming too dangerous as of late. Ever since he signed a deal with the US government, they have gotten more unruly as his gadgets has increased their military might. His 'UT' drones alone has doubled the military's capabilities not to talk of the EMF grenades. I dont fear anyone except ALLAH and I will make sure That country gets to know. I just wish I also had some of these superhumans in my command, my goal would be completed by now if I did but there is a reason for everything and I can still fulfill my dreams without them. America will know what it means to mess with Arabians in the next two days, I hope they will enjoy my gifts like the way I will.'

He thought with a devilish grin covering his face.

[▪︎Fort Drum, New York State▪︎]

It's currently eight in the morning but I'm still bored.

I'm part of those who work in the control room in this military base and it's really boring to work here.

I'm sitting in my chair watching and checking the screens in front of me for threats, we are twenty in this room but only twelve have reported.

All of us are bored out of our minds sitting here, like who in their right minds will attack one of the hearts of America.

Now that we have a brand new highly advanced satellite from 'V Tech' that gives us real-time images of the country with higher communication and navigation capabilities,the probability of an attack is close to nil.

Nothing serious is going to happen to this country with all our tech and superheroes so my job has been extremely monotonous.

Watching screens till the day ends is not really fulfilling, but I guess I'm the one who signed up for this and the pay is good so I won't complain.

Let me rest for a while, not everyone has reported so I can afford to relax for a little while.

The next moment I put my head on the table and closed my eyes, trying to sleep.

"Hey what's that? The radar isnt picking up anything but the main satellite is. What the hell is going on?"

A woman in the room exclaimed in a confused tone.

I woke up and due to her voice and glanced at the screen.

A small red dot was moving towards the World Trade centre on the satellite screen but the radar wasnt picking up anything.

Judging from the movement, it was a plane but the radar wasn't picking up anything.

Using the keyboard, I zoomed in and saw a 'Boeing 767' a few minutes away from crashing into the North Tower In the World Trade center.

".....SHIT!"

I freaked out and shouted, drawing everyone's attention to what was shown on the screen which freaked out the rest.

"Mayday! Mayday! Mayday! A plane is ETA three minutes from crashing into the The World Trade Center! Military action is needed immediately!"

A man frantically shouted into his headpiece.

The whole room was thrown into chaos as everybody was moving about doing everything they can to prevent a catastrophe from happening.

I just sat there, shocked out of my mind when I saw the plane hit the north Tower and exploded sending waves of heat everywhere killing a lot of people in the process.

Everyone including me became horrified when we saw it with some of the women even crying as they witnessed the destruction.

"Oh GOD...please help us."

A man prayed with tears in his eyes.

I hope his prayer will be answered, otherwise... this will be hell on Earth.
