Intervention - Quantum Fold Chapter 5/6
Two silver spheres sliced across the setting sun. They gleamed—once, twice—then banked hard, descending fast.
Adrienne looked up, breath catching. “Kayla,” she hissed.
Kayla whirled and yanked her behind a crumbling overhang, barely wide enough to shield them.
Two orb-like crafts hovered overhead—smooth, polished, and silent. Their descent was slow, calculated.
The air thickened, tingling with static electricity. Adrienne’s skin prickled.
“I think they see us,” she whispered. “I can feel them.”
“Yeah,” Kayla murmured. “Be ready to jump. But I want to know if they land—and where.”
The silver spheres drifted in tight formation, circling deliberately. Adrienne and Kayla adjusted within the shadows, staying low, eyes locked on the sky.
“They’re searching for something,” Adrienne said, her voice tight.
Kayla’s eyes narrowed. “If they weren’t… they’d have touched down. They’re scanning.”
Adrienne swallowed.
“They’re hovering—again. Directly above.”
Kayla shifted. “Jump! To the shelter!”
Adrienne didn’t move. “No. Not without you.”
Kayla’s eyes flicked toward the road. “The soldiers have seen them.”
Sudden movement near the trucks. Activity exploded around the vehicles—shouts, A burst of gunfire split the air—the bark of the .50-caliber machine gun and tracer rounds zipping through the darkened sky.
Then a thunderous—CRACK, CRACK, CRACK—so loud it felt like the sky split. The girls flinched, instincts taking over, clamping hands over their ears.
Instantly there were three intense explosions—blinding—followed by seismic booms. The ground trembled.
Adrienne gasped.
The trucks—gone. Vaporized leaving deep smoldering craters and a scatter of ash.
Less intense explosions followed as the orbs hovered, picking off soldiers and reptilians trying to flee.
The orbs rapidly circled once, then let loose a barrage—repeatedly the thunderous CRACKs from the orb’s energy weapon. White-hot blasts peppering the hidden entrance and the entire top of the mound, detonations strobing in rapid waves. The mound erupted. Debris rained down as the girls ducked, shielding their heads, dust choking the air.
When the chaos stilled, where the entrance had been was a vast, gaping crater. Multiple large craters pocketed the top of the mound and the center had collapsed inward.
The orbs hovered in place as the dust settled. Then—they shot straight up and vanished.
Adrienne stared into the settling dust, barely able to speak. “Oh my god… What did we just witness?”
Kayla her voice brittle. “That was the entrance. No doubt. But now…”
She didn’t finish. She didn’t need to.
Whatever the trucks came for… was dust now.
