Legends of Amacia Attack on Tartarus
Chapter 35: The Growing Storm

The Growing Storm

Far above the Black Fortress on the surface over Mt. Aconcagua, the strange electro-magnetic storm phenomena now covered half of South America. It swirled like a monstrous hurricane over the continent spanning a thousand miles across as it continued to spread by the hour. The magnetic field of the Earth fluctuated and shifted wildly as the magnetic bubble surrounding Amacia slowly began collapsing as the day of the celestial alignment approached. Gabriel’s Hammer moved closer to its inevitable close encounter with the Earth. Planet X with its mini-solar system had reached its perigee inside the orbit of Mercury and was speeding around the sun toward the tiny planet. The extremely close proximity of Planet X to the sun caused drastic fluctuations in the solar output, savagely diminishing the sun’s magnetic fields allowing the solar wind to become a solar hurricane of ionized plasma and deadly cosmic rays blasting out from its core.

Colossal flares and coronal mass ejections unlike anything ever seen before erupted from the sun as it exchanged electrical potentials with Planet X and its seven planet-sized moons. Planet X’s brown dwarf star became energized with its close encounter with the sun, sopping up the sun’s energy like a sponge. This caused it to shine in the visible light wavelengths just above the near infrared, and throw out an increasingly powerful solar wind of its own, adding to the sun’s tempestuous solar hurricane. These two powerful solar winds savagely compressed the Earth’s weakening magnetic field, which strained to hold back the cosmic hurricane filled with cosmic rays and coronal mass ejections the size of Mars, and numerous Y-class flares. The gravitational and magnetic attractions of the sun and planets, including Planet X and Gabriel’s Hammer wreaked havoc with the Earth’s ability to shield itself from the cosmic storm brewing from the prophesied celestial alignment.

Massive magnetic storms began to pop up all over the world, spreading brilliant auroras well into the tropics, knocking out power grids of entire countries, and frying various satellites completely at random. Then to add insult to injury, the Earth started plowing headlong into another dense filament of debris from Gabriel’s Hammer. Dan watched the orbital view on the portal’s hologram when he saw incoming over the Atlantic in the western hemisphere. The incoming storm of debris was as bad as the last one that hit the US. The first fragments came in over northeast Canada and Greenland. The pieces ranged from the size of Volkswagens to fifteen hundred feet across. The Earth plunged into the debris filament and rocks blazed out of the sky laying waste to a seven hundred mile wide swath from Greenland to the inland sea that was once the Mississippi River. Everything north of a line from Indianapolis to Bangor Maine was eradicated. This particular storm was even more terrible than the last one because methane ice mixed with cosmic asphalt, sulfur, and magnesium fell with the debris, burning everything to ashes north of that line in the impact zone, adding smoke and ash to increasingly polluted atmosphere. A dozen large pieces of debris fell on the Greenland ice cap, fracturing it and destabilizing it tremendously. Massive floods of melt-water from the icecap poured into the North Atlantic as colossal icebergs began breaking off the Greenland ice sheet shortly after the impacts.

Dan shook his head sadly and said a prayer for the remnant. Then at a whim, he decided to try to see if he could look into Amacia. The portal hologram zoomed in on Mt. Aconcagua and to his surprise, he was able to zoom in right to the mountain, but couldn’t go any farther. He wondered because this was a new development. He had never been able to do that before now. He looked at it and the wasteland the phenomena had made around the mountain for a few moments, and then shut the machine down. He was weary with seeing the terrible state of the world for in the hologram he could see every hot spot of World War III as well as the terrible natural disasters that were increasing with regularity. He shut it off and went to the cafeteria for a drink with some bite to it.
