It all happened so suddenly...

Booooom!

Before Alex could even finish speaking, a deafening explosion rocked the ground beneath them, this time knocking both of them off their feet.

The shockwave rippled through the air, sending a cloud of dust and debris flying.

However that was just the start of it all.

The tremors that followed were even more violent than before, forcing both Alex and Mira to brace themselves

Mira instinctively crouched, tensing her body as she maintained her balance.

Her eyes dated to Alex, whose expression was even more grim than her own.

His look told her everything she needed to know — there was no time left, they were too late.

The planet buster had already activated.

"We have to move!"

Alex shouted, but even as the words left his mouth he could feel his anxiety and fear increasing.

The tremors beneath them weren't just aftershocks — they were the planet itself unravelling.
