*Action* Ibiza under Attack p1

**Action** "Ibiza under atack pt1"
New Ibiza
Late Afternoon
Ronald Seagunt had planted his thermal charges into the New Ibizan volcano.
The explosives were in the correct position to blow the top of the mountain
off down to the magma well so that the hot lava would flow free.
Over zealous in his plan to rob the New Ibizan bank, Ronald couldn’t wait to
blow up the volcano, it would be a good sight to see. Make him feel powerful
watching the destruction he caused.
He found a place with a good view at the foot of the mountain and detonated.
The volcano blew up, but unfortunately for him the rest of the plan never
took place as the explosion knocked him off his feet. He flew through the
air backwards towards the power plant, he hit an outside transformer and
while being electrocuted he was pelted with falling rocks from the erupting
volcano until the lava flowed down the mountain and burned him and the power
plant to cinders.
***A short while earlier***
Ambassador Niples walked up and down the marina. Now he was officially part
of high society he should probably buy a private yacht. It was just the
thing for people like him to do.
The explosion on the mountain caused him and hundreds of others to look up.
The sun today wasn’t too bright so he didn’t have to shield his eyes too
much to guess what was going on.
Rivers of lava streamed down the rocky slopes of the volcano burning trees
and small abandoned cottages and gift shops. The densely populated beaches
were suddenly active with lots of people screaming and quickly hiring
pedlo’s and other boats so that they could escape the lava which was heading
towards the shore. But the red hot magma never reached that far.
After a few hours of panic, people came back to the beaches to collect their
belongings. The only damage seemed to be to the Ibizan power plant,
everywhere was fine but powerless.
A yacht came back into harbour and a man wearing a tweed jacket came out of
the hold – much to the surprise of the man steering.
“Oi! Who’re you and what yoo doing on my boat?!”
“Terribly sorry, wrong boat!” Seymour said hurriedly escaping the boat.
“Wrong boat my arse!” Shouted the man. “You were just hiding weren’t you?
Eh!”
But the well-dressed man had gone.
**On the beach**
Efof giggled to himself like a schoolboy coming across a rude word in the
dictionary. He had spent the entire day watching girls play volleyball on
the “special” beach. The eruption had spoilt his fun but he still kept
tittering about it.
“Good afternoon Efof” Said Seymour from behind him. Efof tried to make his
face as straight as possible and keep it like that.
“The lava must have dripped into the caves beneath us.” Seymour
hypothesised. Efof started to giggle again. “It’s a jolly good job, or the
whole place would have been burnt down. Even the Queen’s apartment which I’m
sure she wouldn’t have taken too kindly to.”
Efof frowned in thought, he always lagged behind in conversations.
“Caves?” He asked.
“Yes Efof, the caves with the giant alien insects frozen in a glacier.”
Efof looked puzzled, even though it had only been a few days since he had
visited the caves.
“We bought you an ice cream.”
“Oh those caves!!!” Efof happily recalled. “So if the lava went down
there……. Wouldn’t they melt the ice?”
Just as he said that, dull thuds could be heard coming from underground.
Sunbathers on the beach looked from one another in confusion. The sea
rippled and the sand shook. Then before anyone knew it, a small dune of sand
started to shrink downwards into a hole beneath. Two long bony tendrils came
out of the hole, and with great muscles pulled a body out of the sand. A
giant black and shiny grey monster reared its head, climbing fully out of
the hole. It resembled a household beetle but much larger, about the size of
2 oil trucks stood on six powerful but spidery legs. It looked around and
snapped with its front ant-like pincers.
Moving from its burrowed hole it sprayed an ice cream van with thick green
acidic liquid from its mouth, like a fly dissolving its food. The van burned
away and was dissolved into a pulp which the beast sucked up.
Efof and Seymour stood with mouthes hanging open watching the events in
shock. Efof quivered at the knees as he had a series of sudden flashbacks.
**Flashback**
He was back on the Ffionian science station he used to work on. Looking out
of the window he saw ships shaped like spiders pass by.
Another flash in his mind and he was on the devastated world of Ffion. His
homeworld, but 1000 years after he had been put into stasis. A crew of
people from something called the Blue Dwarf had freed him and were now
walking through a dessert which used to be the number 9 bus route. There was
a huge bug just like this one.
His flashback ended. The creature, gorged on the van turned to face him.
Seymour tried to pull him out of the way, everyone else around had already
ran off in confusion.
Efof screamed like a girl and ran away.
Seymour ran after him muttering “Oh dear oh dear, what a palaver.”
Two more of the giant bugs pulled themselves out of the ground and headed
for the town of clubs and trendy bars.
Hundreds of smaller aliens which looked like large spidery soldier ants that
they had encountered on Ffion had also been frozen in the glacier. As they
weren’t as strong as the beetles, not as many had survived. But the strong
few scuttered alongside their biological cousins.

He went to kiss her, but remembering her recent wave of vomiting, thought
better of it and went to kiss her hand. The first one he went for was
covered in vomit, so he changed his mind and went for the other. That one
was covered in blood.
What a predicament for a gentleman.
