Chapter 3: "fire and wax: A battle unfolds"

As the ominous presence of terrorism returned, the community found itself face to face with a more formidable adversary. Armed with guns, the terrorists broke through the gates, intent on wreaking havoc. However, they were met with an unexpected and fiery resistance.

In a strategic move, Alex unleashed a torrent of fire, creating a barrier that slowed the invaders. The chaos intensified as one of the terrorists attempted to diffuse the flames using a smoke grenade, but it only added to the confusion, creating a thick fog.

Amidst the chaos, a remarkable sight unfolded. Fifteen kids, coated in heavy wax, emerged as living shields against the flames. Having bathed in wax as a protective measure, they braved the scorching heat to thwart the terrorists. Alex, quick on his feet, harnessed the potential of his LPG-filled balloons, igniting them to amplify the defensive fire.

The situation escalated further when a helicopter arrived on the scene. Tragically, it unleashed a barrage that claimed the lives of many, casting a shadow over the community. However, the tide began to turn as the military, alerted by the unfolding events, finally arrived.

Witnessing Alex's skills and bravery firsthand, the military recognized a formidable ally. In a surprising turn of events, they offered not only condolences for the losses but also a promise of significant support. They pledged funds, arms, and aid, with one condition — the community, under Alex's leadership, had to ensure the safety of the nearby residential, commercial, and industrial areas.

As the chapter unfolded, Alex found himself at a crossroads, balancing the weight of newfound responsibility and the hope of securing a safer future for his community. The alliance forged in the crucible of adversity was now poised to face the challenges ahead with newfound strength and support. He is now an actual leader of the alliance "fire-rex"
