The Fall

BOOM HRRR

For the first time in a long time, I heard an external sound, and it was the sound of a meteor hitting the atmosphere.

BRRR

"Release the meteorite. You can't do anything anymore. There is no turning back anymore. You have to reduce your own speed."

I did so. I let go of the meteorite and watched it move away from me. Time seemed to speed up and I felt that everything was going to happen very quickly now.

Turning around, I began to slow down. The jet engine hummed, struggling to handle the load.

BOOM

I heard a loud explosion below me. The meteorite was moving at such a high speed that the air under it could not escape in time and give way to it. This led to increased pressure and friction, and as a result, the oxygen beneath the meteorite ignited. The meteorite was also not happy with the friction with the air and also turned red when its temperature rose.

 'Damn! It's waiting for me too!' As soon as I thought this, I immediately hit an invisible wall and felt my body enter an ocean of air. Everything around my body caught fire.

The temperature rose to several thousand degrees. And if I hadn't slowed my fall, my body would have heated up to 4,000 degrees. Even I would have a hard time enduring it.

'It's time to prepare for the explosion.' I wasn't going to give all the work to the meteorite. This might not be enough, so I had to use my ultimate ability to the fullest. The Kaiju couldn't be left with any chance.

Gathering all my energy, I began to concentrate and direct the energy inside me. My body lit up. A second star appeared in the sky.

BRRR

"Unplug the jetpack!"

I don't know how I noticed this message because it was very noisy and everything around was on fire. As soon as I read this message, my communicator exploded and went to pieces.

A slight panic came over me as I realized what had just happened. I quickly detached the jet pack from me and it immediately flew away from me, moving erratically. I could see that he was all red and burning.

BOOOOM

The jet pack exploded so hard I had to cover my eyes. A ball of blue fire formed from the explosion and tried to catch up to burn me, but I fell too fast, leaving a shockwave behind me.

I was left alone without communication. Turning to face the ground, before me was a vast white space in the form of snow and ice. All this I was going to destroy. Those were the last seconds of peace. This continent shrouded in frosty death will experience another kind of death - fire.

Time moved quickly and I saw how the meteorite was about to touch the ground. Before the impact, my gaze became determined. If I show weakness or question this decision now, then I will die here.

I was energized and ready to hit the ground running. My desire to drag out the moment was shattered when the meteor hit the ground. There was a loud explosion below me and a shock wave quickly moved through space and hit me.

I underestimated the power of this shock wave. She hit me so hard that I thought my internal organs were knocked out of me. But it slowed me down.

I had only half a second before the collision. I didn't actually see when I was going to fall because after the shock wave I was surrounded by thick fire and smoke. I physically had no way of knowing when I would reach the ground, so I decided to explode before impact.

BBBOOOOOOM

After releasing all its energy, a powerful explosion rang out and everything went dark after that.

POV: General

The meteorite met the ice and, as if not noticing it, sank quite deep. It was very fast and the next moment everything exploded.

There was a bright light from the explosion, followed by a great deal of fire and dust. But most of all there was ice. The ice was sent into the air, and what could not fly began to push the ice in all directions.

In just an instant, the entire Continent split into many pieces, and a huge wall of ice and fire rose above the clouds. This wall of ice and fire not only rose, but also moved from the center of Antarctica along with many kilometers of ice that broke away from the ground.

But this was not the end of this disaster, because another star was falling high in the sky and this star shone even brighter than the meteorite. There was enough light for the darkness to escape from here. Even at the equator, people noticed an atmospheric glow coming from the south. People who lived closer to Antarctica were surprised that night turned into day. They did not see the meteorite, but the atmosphere was glowing.

There was night, then night became day. After that there was a bright flash. Finally, the darkness returned, taking over the territory that had belonged to it moments before. It seemed that the world had returned to peace, but it was not.

Antarctica died in minutes. After the meteorite fell, another star hit the same place and another explosion occurred. This explosion was less powerful, but it was like a flash of the sun. Immediately after the flash, the atmosphere over Antarctica caught fire, turning into a sea of fire that covered the sky.

The wave of ice and fire that was moving across the continent received an additional boost. This wave, which was several times higher than the clouds and, having received an additional push, turned into a wall of meteorites that flew all the way to the nearest continents.

Kilometer-long blocks of ice fell into the ocean, causing huge splashes of water.

Fortunately for people, there are constant storms around Antarctica. The so-called "West Wind Belt of Antarctica" collided with the shock wave and reduced its strength. But despite this, it was visible from space how the clouds were blown away, and this whole mass of clouds began to move from Antarctica. It was as if half the planet had been laid bare and you could clearly see the contours of the land.

Strong winds moved over the ocean and land, uprooting trees and destroying roofs. The further he moved, the weaker he became. But after the wind came a wave 10 meters high. It was the first wave created by the wind.

No one asked questions because everyone heard the tsunami warning siren and everyone was watching the external TV announcement of the evacuation. Even people who lived far from water had to prepare for possible earthquakes and unpredictable weather.

The next wave was 20 meters high, and it traveled across the entire planet, and only after overcoming the distance to the equator, it halved. This wave was formed because a lot of ice was pushed into the ocean.

The ice that was squeezed out of the center of the continent spread across the ocean. Huge icebergs the size of Great Britain scattered around. Some hit Australia, and some collided with small islands and completely obliterated them without even noticing. Only a reminder of these islands remained in the form of scars deep in the ocean.

People were saved by the fact that the authorities were ready and in fact these waves were slow. These waves took several days to travel across the planet. All these days, the sirens on the streets of the cities did not stop.

Antarctica was on fire, it seemed that even the ice was on fire. A huge wave of ice and fire slowly began to fall as it reached the edge of Antarctica. Dust and fire covered the sky and slowly expanded, forming red lightning. After a while, the fire disappeared, leaving only black clouds of smoke and dust.

It was impossible to see what was happening on the Continent, and all that remained of the former ice kingdom was a circular outline of tall ice mountains that resembled landscapes from fantasy films. These mountains were thick slabs of ice that jutted into the sky with sharp edges, and these slabs of ice resembled the scales of a dragon.

Everything beyond these mountains was hidden behind dark clouds. But one thing was clear - there was no more ice or water there. Only the scorched earth that once rested peacefully under the ice.

It was an act of desperation.
