There was a deathly silence enveloping the city as everyone nervously anticipated the opening of the gate. Ark was standing high up, on a military construct that had been made at the last minute.
It was a tall wall made out of assembled steel, that was to act as a barrier between them and the apocalypse beasts when the battle would begin.
The region they were in was completely devoid of people, not a single non-military personnel was in sight, which was because they were the first to evacuate.
No one wanted to be in the center of the mess when it would happen.
Along with Ark, were the rest of the squad, only Thalia and Natasha were not with them. Natasha was still in their truck while Thalia was making the last minute preparations.
The construct they were standing on was not just purely for show, mounted upon them were three-barrel torrents, similar to the torrents the military vehicles mounted atop their roofs.
