Alex was inches away from the control pad when the place went black.
"What just happened?" Alex asked
"The station just lost power' said Fox
"Then how are we supposed to stop the bomb?" Alex asked
"We cant" said Fox
Then they felt it.
A huge blast that rocked the entire station and everyone in it. It was at that moment that they knew that the reef encounter and Australia were in for a big surprise.
People in Perth and Coral Bay were just starting to wake up, unaware that a giant tsunami was about to come crashing into them.
"What are we going to do now?" asked Alex
"We need to find a way to stop that wave" said Fox
"Isn't that impossible?" Alex asked
"Maybe. but we have to try." said Fox
The people at the beach were the first to notice something different. it look like the water was running away from the beach. But they didn't take to much notice because they thought it was just the tide. At this time reef island no longer existed. Completely wiped off the map by the enormous tsunami. Around 6 hours later people started wondering about the ocean. It was high tide and it looked as if there were no water and something in the distance was growing bigger very slowly.
"So theres nothing we can do?"
"Unfortunately no"
Alex listened to the conversation Fox was having with Alan blunt. He didn't like the sound of it.
"Can't we just ask the Australians? they might have a good idea." said Fox
"We've already talked to them. They're trying to think of something. None of there ideas are realistic." said Alan.
"Cant we just fire a couple of rockets at it? I think it might shrink the wave a bit so it wouldn't do as much damage." interrupted Alex.
Fox stared at him.
"The kids got a point. That might work. It wouldn't destroy the wave completely but it would make it so it did considerably less damage." said Fox.
Everyone in Perth was watching the wave as it got closer and closer. Some people had fled, some had just watched and hope it wouldnt be as bad as it seemed.
"Do you really want to do this?" Fox yelled over the noise of the engine.
"Yeah I'm sure! it was my idea remember?" replied Alex. They were flying at an incredibly fast speed over the Indian Ocean.
"Ok. But if you get hurt its not my fault!" he replied
"I'll remember that!" said Alex.
Fox saw it first.
An incredible wave was hurtling towards shore.
"There it is!" he yelled
They followed the wave until they saw land. When the wave started getting bigger he told the pilots to fire.
When the rockets hit it was a sight people watching would never forget. Three fourths of the tsunami was destroyed. The remaining part was just your avarage surfing wave.
"Way to go Alex! Your idea worked!" Fox yelled
