Chapter 11

Final

Jake looked around, but he didn't found it. The mashine was near but he couldn't see it. Threw the phone, LaoShi explained, that it was hide in a little barn directly on the border of the three states.

Worldwide, the people could see the satelite-pictures of the radioactive cloud, which was just a few miles away of New York. The magical-gouverments of thier contrys explained them the situation and they knowed what will happen. Or should happen!

In the plane, Frederick's parents and the soldiers looked also worried into the news. The Buttersleeves had friends and family in New York. And they knowed many people there. They couldn't imagine what will happen if the rain contaminates the city and all the people there. Mrs. Buttersleeves hold her husbands hand and cryed...

Frederick was sitting with Jonathan in a ambulance-truck and they drove very fast above the streets. The paramedics where afraid of Frederick who hold the closed can of Pandorra in his hand. With the other hand he hold Jonathan's one. Jonathan couldn't feel his legs. Frederick said him, that all will become good.

Jake could finally see it. A little wooden barn. In the woods... Jake start to sink. It heavilly rained. Trixie and Spud breathed as less as possible. But both where proctected under thier uniforms. Jake opened the big heavy door of the barn and could see it. The mashine...

All over New York city, the sirens warned the people. The population was in panic. The rain was deadly.

"I saw something simular in a Russian disaster-movie!" a man told to someone other during they ran into a subway-station.

"And how it end?" the other one asked.

"Not good!"

Jake and his friends stood in front of the big mashine with all his switches and lights. They read the manual and they knowed that they had just one try. If they aren't sucessfull they will have to wait two hours before they can try again because the mashine have to reload. But they hadn't two hours. They had two minutes... maybe less. More than 10 million people where in danger...

"Okay, what we have to do?" Jake asked.

"Well..." Trixie said and read the paper. "...that switch and that button... well and now we just have to wait for that moment, the mashine beeps and than we just can hope that we hit the right cloud." Trixie explained.

Spud looked outside to the sky. Everywhere clouds. The sky was totally coverred. "That won't be difficult!" he said.

"Okay,... O please god... let it work!" Jake said and pressed the big red button in the middle of the board.

A loud noise filled the air and than they saw a bright white sphere going up into the sky. A second later the whole sky start to shine in a bright white. Everywhere across the United States the people could see it... And than it was over. Jake carefully opened his eyes and saw that the rain stopped, and the sky was clear.

"Aww...yeah..." Jake shouted and he and his friends cheered. They looked on the rising sun and where happy. It was over! All over the world the people saw the cloud disappearing from the satelite-pictures and start to cheer.

It was autumm now. 3 months passed since the blackout and the world came back to normality, if that was possible. After the blackout, the shares on the global stock exchanges collapsed. Dollar, Euro and other important currencies lost more than the half of thier worth. And because many buildings like factories or offices where destroyed, thousands of people lost thier jobs and that just in the state New York. And in the middle of this new 'Great Depression' Jake flew with Trixie and Spud above the urban areas of Pennsylvania.

The whole area was abadoned. More than 1 Million people had to leave thier houses and around 3 million still lived in the contaminated area. Everyday the number of cancer-patients growned. Hundreds of thousand people where sick. The magical-world send help to the humans. From all over the world both worlds send help. Couverments made contracts with the magical-world. And although the world was in a difficult situation (because the ecological-crisis) they tried to find a way to live toghether.

Jake and his friends finally arrived the town of Meadowood, where Jacob lived with his family. They land in front of the house and rang the doorbell. It was quiet, the town was under the radioactive rain and uninhabitable for humans, a few magical-creatures moved here but the humans almost all leaved. A young girl opened the door and was happy to see Jake.

"Oh, hi! Jacob is waiting for you! I tell him that you are here!" the girl said and walked back into the house. When she turned, Jake could see a old scar, maybe from a beat.

Jake knowed that Jacob had to beat his whole family after they stood under the rain. And finally they didn't became sick. Jacob arrived on the door with a bunch of flowers in his hand.

"Hi! I'm ready! Is Frederick on the way!" he asked.

"His plane from Bosnia land 2 hours ago!" Jake said. "We will meet him there!"

After Trixie and Spud, who fortunately where healthy, climbed on Jake's back and Jake took Jacob in his arms they start to fly to the power-plant, which was just a few minutes away. From far, Jake could see the big hole in the reactor-building. If the blackout didn't happend the fire-brigade had could prevent a explosion. Jake land on a hill near the power-plant where they meet Frederick, who also had a bunch of flowers in his hand.

"Hi! I'm also arrived just a minute ago!" he said. "Where is the rest of your familys?"

"We send our parents to a beach-holiday to Draco's Island! To calm down them." Trixie said.

"After they had to hear from the news that we are working with a fire-breathing monster, they where so angrilly... but also very proud." Spud explained further.

Jake looked around and also start to tell: "My parents and my sister a still looking for a new home for us. We can't live further in the humans-world because all over the people know me now and everybody want's to be my friend or my wife, or they want children from me..." Jake said and laughed. "And they are looking for my father. You know he can't walk since that night."

Frederick knowed what Jake meaned. He was escorting Jake's dad to hospital and he was the first who heared that Jonathan was so hardly injured that he will never be able to walk again. Since them, he sat in a wheel-chair.

"Okay, let's go!" Spud said and Jake also took Frederick to fly them directly above the destroyed reactor.

It was the day 100 after the blackout and the explosion of this plant. Around the hole the magical-world made a forcefield for the radioactivity. Under the forcefield the core of the reactor was still burning.

Full of sadness and sorrow... they threw thier flowers down to the ground. To commemorate for all the dead and sick people after this disaster, which destroyed big parts of the country, but also opened the gates for a new and better future for the magical-world and the humans...
