<Last time on The Earthnauts from Space . . . in the story Where the thunder roars! part 1 . . . >
👽 🛸 ECHO: “Thunder to base. I should be entering Israeli orbit and airspace in a few moments!”
👽 UNION (off camera on the subspace radio): “Yes, good friend! As before, if you witness any hostile action against the refugee camp, you are authorized to immediately return fire and neutralize the threat!”
👽 🛸 ECHO: “I certainly will! I can see the area from orbit. I’m moving in on an intercept vector now, and I can detect hundreds of rogue earth weapons beginning to arm themselves! I need to hurry! Now, let’s see what you’re able to do now, Thunder!”
<And now, Part-2 of The Earthnauts: Where the Thunder Roars!>
👽 🛸 ECHO: “This is IFS Thunder on a reentry trajectory towards the Israel-Syria border” 🇮🇱 🇸🇾
👽 ECHO: “Long range scanners indicate a large land force approaching the Golan Heights region.”
👽 UNION: “I have been analyzing this information. The ground force is made up of dozens of tanks and projectile-launching vehicles”
👽 LAGRANGE: “But what is interesting, my esteemed former students, is that the vehicles do not seem to be manned by the armies they belong to!”
👽 MEDALLION: “I sense that the Imm know of this. It appears that the vehicles have been commandeered by the . . . the . . . the Agagans!!! THEY are controlling the vehicles and are racing toward that children’s refugee camp and hospital! I believe they are posing as the non-Israeli armies to try and start another civil war on Earth!”
👽 🛸 ECHO: “It’s what they do prior to sending a larger invasion force like they did countless planets. I don’t have much time now! I’m moving into defensive intercept approach now! Israel is dead ahead!”
<6:04 AM . . . Children’s refugee camp in Israel’s Golan Height’s region. Sinister war machines are moving swiftly toward the camp and weapons are arming>
👽 🛸 ECHO: “This is IFS Thunder. I’m approaching the war machines from the East. I don’t think the Agagans know we’re here!
👽 OCEANA: “I believe they’re distracted by the Israeli forces mobilizing. But there’s only a small number compared to the force coming! They need help! But we will have to reveal our ship . . . and US to the world!”
👽 UNION: “Yes, my best friend’s younger sister! A terrible event is about to unfold, but the people of the Great Imm Leader need our help! I believe there’s no choice this time!”
👽 SNEAK: “True, best friend! Our people have helped the land of Israel for thousands of years alongside the great Hosts of Imm and the Great Imm Leader Himself! We mustn’t fail, we simply must help . . . ”
🚨 <6:07 AM . . . Roooouuuuh! Roooouuuuh! ROOOOUUUUH! ROOOOUUUUH! . . . The frightening sight and sound of hostile rockets fill the air as the Agagans’ hijacked war machines fire on the innocent children’s refugee camp and hospital!!! > 🚨
👽 🛸 ECHO: “The enemy forces are attacking the children’s camp!”
👽 MEDALLION: “Only the space-faring descendants of Amalek would dare be so evil!”
👽 UNION: “Oh no! Our worst concern has been realized!”
👽 OCEANA: “Stop them, Echo!!!”
👽👽 CHANCE AND ELI (together): “Get them!!!”
👽 UNION: “Echo, you have your orders. COMMENCE FIRE, FIRE AT WILL! FIRE AT WILL! NOW!!!”
👽 🛸 ECHO: “In the name of the Great Imm Leader, and the Engedian Star Force, I hereby declare BATTLE!!!”

👽 🛸 ECHO: “I’m in pursuit of the projectiles launched at the camp, but those ground tanks are dangerous too! Commodore, what should I do?”
👽 UNION: “Attack the tanks near the intersection of the rocket’s flight path. That should throw the columns behind into disarray and then target all projectiles!”
👽 SNEAK: “These Agagans are total jerks! Well, Echo’s cooking up one of his best ‘lectures’ yet!”
👽 🛸 ECHO: “I see the column now and the first of the tanks. I’m moving in!”
👽 🛸 ECHO: “You Agagans want to attack a kids’ hospital? Maybe YOU should go visit the hospital!!!”

👽 UNION (unpictured): “Our advanced sensors have detected the Agagan’s control base. It was taken over from Earth militants. We need to strike it immediately!”
👽 🛸 ECHO: “It’s about 45 ‘nautical-Earth miles’ to my “10 o’clock” position as the Humans say it.
👽 🛸 ECHO: “There it is. And I detect the presence of 4 Agagan craft in the area. Likely inside the base!”
👽 UNION: “I speculate they are there! Destroying the base should neutralize their honing beacons to order more Agagan ships to earth!”
👽 🛸 ECHO: “There’s one thing left to do. Firing now!!!”

👽 OCEANA: “Mr. Ben’s nation, the USA 🇺🇸 is launching Earth air-fighters! And so is Israel!
👽 MEDALLION: “No doubt that they have spotted the IFS Thunder!”
👽 LAGRANGE: “Israel really has no idea how much we’ve helped them before!”
<At a nearby IDF Airbase . . . >
🇮🇱 IDF Fighter Dispatcher: “All planes. You’re ordered to intercept the saucer craft attacking hostile ground forces!”
🇮🇱 IDF Command Pilot: “We are headed there now. USAF fighters are inbound and joining our intercept. US Forces have seen this craft before over the city of Colorado Springs . . . last Haunnakah!”
🇮🇱 IDF Pilot #1: “Well, this craft is obliterating the hostiles, and even shot all the missiles from the sky with one shot! The blasts are so powerful that scientists are detecting them on the Richter Scale! What kind of craft is this?”
<Back at Mr. Ben’s house . . . >
👽 MEDALLION: “Look! It’s them! The Agagans! Four jerk-class war disks rising from the base remains! They just teleconveyored their fleeing ground forces up.”
👽 LAGRANGE: “They’ve moved from the base, but are now moving toward the refugee camp! They just won’t give up!”
👽 🛸 ECHO: “Typical. The cannot stand failure or not getting their way, and they just get angrier and more bent on vengeance each time they fail!”
👽 CHANCE: “Echo, the Agagans will surely destroy all of those children at that camp if we don’t intervene. Your laser blasters won’t stop them in time!”
👽 ELI: “I think you should use the weapon that Commodore Union developed . . . the Eclipse Gun!”
👽 ECHO: “I’ll modulate the gun so it’s enough to develop a reverse singularity and shove them from the system! Targets acquired . . . FIRING NOW!!!”
🛸 IFS THUNDER (Eclipse Gun Fires): GAAAWAAHHHP-P-P-P-P-!!!!!!! ☢️ 💥 💥💥☢️
<From high Earth orbit, the flash of a powerful violet-blue explosion spreads across a large area . . . and a small white hole forms where the IFS Thunder just fired . . . >
💀 💀💀💀 Agagan ships (hit and blasted from Earth Orbit): BOOOOM!!!!!!
👽 🛸 ECHO: “That did it! The Agagans just got kicked out of Earth orbit!”
👽 GRAND ELDER NOMAD: “Good work, Captain Echo! You have saved many lives today and scared the Agagans back to their realms . . . for now!”
👽 LADY TIA: “Well done! Are you and the saucer OK?”
👽 🛸 ECHO: “I’m fine, but the IFS Thunder’s detection scanners are recharging after the Eclipse Gun’s power drain! And the flight thrusters won’t allow me to two times the speed of Earth sound yet. It will be about 10 minutes before I go . . . ”
🇺🇸 USAF Command Pilot: “IDF forces, we’re joining your pursuit . . . THERE! There it is, that UFO! A classified briefing revealed that this same one has been seen twice flying over the USAF Academy last year!”
🇮🇱 IDF Command Pilot: “And again, it was on OUR holiday Haunnakah!”
🇮🇱 IDF Pilot #1: “Sir, we will let you and the lead USAF pilot fly into position. Our squadron and the USAF one will provide cover!”
👽 🛸 ECHO: “Ok, Union and friends, I have about 14 minutes before all power’s back. I wonder what I’m going to . . . uhhhh!”
🇮🇱 IDF Command Pilot: “<Attention unidentified craft. This is Major Andrew Reuben of the Israeli Defense Forces.>
🇺🇸 USAF Command Pilot: “<And this is Lieutenant-Colonel Porter Rhodes of the United States Air Force! Identify yourself!”>
👽 🛸 ECHO: “Uhhhh. Union? Grand Elder? What should I do?”
👽 UNION (from the radio transmitter): “Don’t try to leave yet. Let’s have a nice talk with them and let them know we mean no harm!”
<To Be Continued . . . >
Join us next time for Part-3 & the Conclusion of “Where The Thunder Roars!”

(FURTHER DISCLAIMER: The Earthnaut’s actions in the Middle East are neither for nor against any Earth nation or people, whether Israel, US, Russia, Syria, or any other nation on Earth [the Middle East or not]. The real enemy was the descendants of an ancient Human people that were taken to the stars, stole alien technology, and are now using it as a means of conquering and inflicting tyranny on all planets. They steal human weapons to try to cause upheaval ahead of Earth conquest. No Earth nation is in league with them, and it is clear once they know what is really behind the attempted attack on the children’s refugee camp).
