Dead Again

Afton had thrown himself out of the mothership after running for around an hour to find the exit. Judging by the way he couldn't feel any air resistance or even breathe, he knew he wasn't yet in the atmosphere, so instead used his efforts to try and get as much distance from the mothership as possible.

He wasn't sure how big the explosion would be, but knew it might actually be more dangerous than the ship just passively hitting the Earth as it was... But, without any other options, this was the one with potentially the best results.

Eventually, he reaches the Earth's atmosphere, and immediately feels himself encounter air resistance... It was like hitting a concrete wall, but unlike water tension, his first impact wasn't the only obstacle.

He feels his body begin rapidly heating from reentry, but shields himself with his plant arms, creating an aerodynamic, yet durable shell to protect him from the air, heat, and eventually explosion from the mothership... Good thing too, since his makeshift fuse had just ended.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*

Unlike the survivors on the ground and inside the bunker, Afton was by far the closest person next to it. Allowing him to take the brunt of the explosion.

And BOY! was it an explosion!

Just the shockwave from it easily crushed his root shell that had a strength easily surpassing steel. The vibrations of it also passed through and into Afton, almost instantly collapsing his lungs, heart, and other internal organs... Indeed, the impact also almost turned his brain into jelly, without his massive Endurance and Cybernetic implants in his skull, his brain would have turned to jello and leaked out of his ears...

Once Afton's vocal cords heal, he gives a loud scream of pain and starts a wrenching, wheezing cough even as he continues to fall through the air, eventually spitting out blood that sticks loosely to the side of the warped shell her was confined in. Indeed, the shell was now tumbling through the air, head over heels due to the explosion...

It's only a few seconds later that Afton feels something through the agonizing pain he was in... It was an odd sensation, but he could feel his and the shell's momentum begin to slow... Eventually coming to a halt in midair...

He controls the roots and opens aside in the shell to see what was happening, quickly gaping at the sight he beheld. The remnants of the mothership were slowly pulling matter back into itself, the gravity well that was gathering actually managing to catch Afton mid-fall.

He begins to start panicking, unable to think of a solution to avoid whatever was about to happen... Another pulse and he was now quickly flying back towards the wreckage.

He scrambles to do something, rapidly absorbing the shell back into his plant arms and making swimming movements to try and resist gravity... All his efforts were futile, however, doing literally nothing against the unstoppable phenomenon that was occurring.

Afton reaches around one hundred miles near the wreckage when the gravity well abruptly snaps back, almost tearing Afton in half from it... The energy coalesces and explodes outwards, instantly obliterating Afton due to it.

He is literally atomized from the explosion, each atom in his body blasted out of existence. Killing him...

[Miracle Maker is in effect]

Afton snaps back in reality, (oh) along with gravity. He sucks in air after realising he was still alive, but isn't given a break as he starts tumbling back to Earth yet again... Around him, he could see the remnants of the mothership falling with him... Titanic pieces of metal and machinery plummeting to Earth-like unstoppable projectiles.

While [Miracle Maker] had revived him, he hadn't retained his momentum from the explosion, probably because he'd been blasted into nonexistence...

Additionally, Afton wasn't really sure where he'd land... From his position, he could see he was somewhere above the continent of Africa, but he, unfortunately, didn't know much about the place, aside from the fact that a place called 'Wakanda' exists. Though, even if it was the high-tech place from Marvel, they'd have already been killed by the Alien genocide virus.

He had thoughts of trying to glide over back to America, but knew he'd probably not make it, even if he made makeshift wings with his plant arms...

Afton falls for another thirty minutes or so, and is 'pleasantly' greeted by the sight of the mothership meteors finally hitting Earth... Instantly, Afton is able to see many massive impacts in and around Africa. The ones that hit the continent itself release massive clouds of dust into the air, while also making shockwaves that annihilate most things in a couple hundred miles radius.

As for the ones who hit the ocean? Well, judging by the monstrous tsunami's produced by it, any survivors of the genocide virus wouldn't be 'surviving' any longer.

Afton would put this disaster on a similar level as the meteor that wiped out the dinosaurs. And was incredibly worried about his friends and family back over in America...

There was the fact that Africa was almost on the other side of the planet from America, but that didn't mean they wouldn't feel the effects of this disaster.

As for how he was going to get back in the first place? He had no idea... He couldn't even judge the time it'd take to swim from Africa to America, and he didn't know what he'd do if he found only destruction once he got back...

It was with these thoughts that Afton finally reached the end of his flight, his tumbling body smashing into a large hill covered in a vibrant array of flowers and plants... Though, this wouldn't last long as the shockwave from a meteor was about to slam into it...

Afton just lies back on the flowers and allows the shockwave to wash over him, not really sure what to do in this situation... His thirst for revenge had temporarily be quenched, but he knew that the aliens would be back eventually... Even if his family had not survived, he'd make sure those fucking bastards never claim the planet.

With that, his last thoughts before the wave of mud, rock, earth, and dirt were of Josie, Rose, his friends, and the abominable green cunts that'd destroyed almost everything he'd built.
