After the catastrophe was over, the only countries remaining on the map would probably be Padaski, Moon, Panthera, and a few others.
All the others that hadnt been wiped out wouldnt have many people left.
…
The Moonians became very active online.
Earlier, they had been complaining to everyone about how unreliable the underground shelter was, determined that they would die.
Some had knelt on the floor and prayed while others embraced one another.
Right now, they were all jumping up and down, and their faces were covered by tears of joy.
“Moon is amazing! I cant believe we actually survived that!”
“The IVE Extractors are so powerful! Hail the underground shelter! Hail Mr.
Soan!”
“Mr.
Soan has saved us all! We owe him our lives!”
“Ive said some disrespectful things to Mr.
Soan, and I want to apologize to him! Im sorry, Mr.
Soan, but youre right! Im such an idiot! I hope you can forgive me!”
“I wont worry if I were you.
Mr.
Soan would never be offended by someone like you.
He probably didnt even see your comments.
However, I do feel offended, and youd better not let me find out who you are or where you live.
Otherwise, Im going to find you and beat you into a pulp!”
“Count me in! These people are detestable! I want to punch all of them in the face!”
“Theres no need to do that! Im going to slap myself! Heres the video!”
“Heres another one calledSorry, Moon! Im truly sorry!”
…
Apologizing wasnt all they were doing.
Many people were appealing to the government, asking them to save the people on the arks.
Most of them were teenagers or in their early 20s.
“Tony is my idol! Please bring him back to Moon!”
“Tony has done great things for our country.
We cant let him die!”
“Dont forget about Charles! Hes an important figure to Moon! We cant let anything happen to him!”
“Please bring Thomas back! I cant live without him!”
“OMG! My goddess Mildred has posted a video asking for help! We must help her! Please send the flying soldier to Neige and bring back our goddess! If Sky Eye wont go, we will!”
“Yes, we will!”
…
People who werent into celebrities were shocked by such suggestions.
The astonishment soon passed though.
Some were amused by these youngsters, while the others were infuriated.
“Is this the purpose of your lives, being fans of celebrities What do you see in them, anyway”
“Do you want to save them on your own Go ahead! No one will stop you! We wont cry for you when youre dead!”
“Youre still alive because of your country and Mr.
Soan! Without them, you would have died a long time ago! You cant even save yourselves.
How are you going to save other people Dont make me laugh!”
“Who are these people Have their parents taught them nothing How important can those celebrities be They make it sound like the world would end without their idols.”
“What have those people ever done for our country Did they make donations Did they help with scientific research What contributions did they make All they have are their pretty faces!”
“Look at the world outside! People are dying everywhere! Some of them are more handsome than your idols, but it didnt help them at all!”
“If you have to be someones fan, be Mr.
Soans! Hes young, handsome, and so much better than your idols!”
“Comparing Mr.
Soan to those people is an insult to Mr.
Soan! Theyre useless and cant be more helpful than Mr.
Soans pinky! Those fans are beyond saving! Just let them be!”
…
Youngsters were always rebellious.
Once they were determined to follow someone, they wouldnt change their minds no matter what they were told.
The fans revolted, arguing with whomever that was accusing them.
They believed that their idols couldnt do anything wrong.
Sammy was Tonys loyal fan.
He contacted some of the most agitated fans and tried to start a secret rescue mission.
“Guys, we cant let our idols die out there! We must do something!” Sammy created a chat group that included all the fervent fans.
It was impossible to pretend to be a fan to join the group because one had to answer a series of questions that only the most loyal fans knew the answers to.
Moreover, the Moonian website was the only working website at the moment.
One wouldnt have a search engine to search for answers.
Vivian said, “Thats right! We must find a way to bring them back!”
John wrote, “What can we do The government wont save them.
My dad asked me just then if I was into celebrities, and I told him I wasnt!”
Sammy said, “If the government wont save them, well force them to! I have an IVE Extractor here, and its operated by people of our age.
We can replace them when they change shifts.
Well then open the door and charge out!”
“Charge out Seriously People are going to die!”
“Yes! I know that, but itll show the government how determined we are! Theyll never let us die! When they come to save us, well ask them to save our idols first, or well never come back!”
“I think thats a plausible idea.”
“But its too dangerous outside!”
Sammy said, “Thats exactly why were doing it! Itll prove our determination! Theyll have to save us!”
Vivian said, “We wont be in danger! Havent you seen our technology We have the most advanced technology in the world! Im sure theyll find a way to save us! Everything will turn out fine!”
Seeing that no one replied, Sammy asked, “What do you say Think about it, but I need to remind you that we dont have much time left.”
