As the blinding light slowly disappeared. A loud explosion rattled the Prince and his troops. The helicopter that is trying to land is now violently spinning out of control.

They watched helplessly as the burning chopper descends. The pilots are struggling to save the stricken aircraft. From the ground, the burning engine of the chopper can be clearly seen.

The helicopter is violently spinning clockwise, making a soft landing impossible, even though the pilots put in all their efforts they cannot control the aircraft anymore. Then the helicopter hit the trees and then crashes sideways, sending its rotors flying towards everyone, luckily no one is hit. It crashes at the bank of the small lake in the park.

After only a few seconds, the Blackhawk is now reduced to a mangled wreck. The people in the ground rushes into the rescue. The Prince also tried to help but he was held back by his close security.

"You can't go, your highness, it's too dangerous. It might be an assassination attempt." 1st Lieutenant Crowall told the Prince as he held him at his place.

In the midst of the heavy rain, a group of people is working together to save the lives of the 5 crew of the downed Blackhawk.

They make their way on the mangled wreck of the chopper. After 5 minutes or so and ignoring the safety of their own, they managed to retrieve the injured crew.

"These two are in critical condition, we need medical assistance now", shouts the soldier.

Some bystanders tried to call the nearest hospital, the troops tried to radio in help.

"Wait, my phones dead!"

"Me, too"

"Radio's down too", another soldier added.

Everyone is surprised. None of their electronic devices are working.

"How far is the hospital?", the soldier asked the bewildered bystander.

"The nearest one in town is still under renovation the next one is 15 minutes by car, 30 to 40 minutes by foot", the bystander replied.

"Tsk, we're too far out, Quick go ask for a transport", the Prince interjects.

"We are going now to the hospital on foot, you two. Go ask for transport at the town square, pick us up on the way.", 1st Lieutenant Crowall ordered.

A couple of soldiers then head back to town in the midst of the heavy rain. The park was located on the outskirts of town, The vehicle that the Prince rode already returned back to the town. Thus, the soldiers need to run back to the town square, where the convoy of military vehicles is parked.

But as they make their way downtown. They've noticed something peculiar. Most of the people they've run into are bewildered. Not only because of the very bad weather and with a helicopter crash nearby with some already are rushing to the scene. But there is something else.

"There's no electricity and my phone's dead!" one of the locals said.

"Well, my car can't start great!", a local man shouted as a couple of soldiers fully armed with their decked out SCAR-L's passed

After a couple of minutes, they finally arrived at the town square.

"Sir, Blackhawk down, the Prince request transport for Medevac (Medical Evacuation)", the soldier told his superior who's guarding the vehicles.

"2nd Lieutenant!, We have a problem", the superior then ran towards one of the vehicles.

The 2nd Lieutenant was busy working on a vehicle. Along with other soldiers checking their own vehicles even in the midst of the heavy rain. Then upon hearing them he then quickly leave his work and asked them, "What's the problem?"
