User blog:007Jamesdean/A Highrise Inferno

Me, Lola, Laney, Lisa and Lily were in the Simulator.

Varie, Aylene, Jeri, Jessie, Lori, Carol and Sakura were in the control room.

The Simulator activated and Me, Lana & Lola, Laney, Lisa and Lily found themselves in San Francisco, California.

We saw behind us a massive and tall highrise skyscraper and it was on fire.

Lola: That building is totally on fire!

Me: I know this building. We're in the movie "The Towering Inferno" from 1974. I used to watch this movie all the time and it's one of dads favorite movies from his past.

Laney: Wow! What's that movie about?

Me: It's about a tall superhighrise multipurpose building that is on fire because of faulty electrical wiring in a storage room on the 81st floor. This building is 1,800 feet high and it was on the grand opening ceremony for the building and it turned into a night of tragedy and the demonstration of the heroic actions of the firefighters.

Lily: That's horrible.

Lana: If this building was set on fire because of faulty wiring then that means that whoever built it sure had no idea what they were doing.

Me: You're probably right Lana.

Lisa: Faulty wiring is a very proficient cause of electrical fires in buildings and back in the 1970's we weren't trained to fight highrise structure fires of this kind.

Laney: That's not right.

Me: I agree. Also the 1970's was known as the Decade of the Disaster Movies. "Earthquake", "The Poseidon Adventure", "Avalanche", "Hurricane", "The China Syndrome" and much more. But California has filmed more disaster movies than anyone else.

Lily: That's really cool.

Lana: Neat.

Me: Yeah. But lets help these people out!

Lisa: Affirmative.

Lola: Lets go!

We flew up and saw the building engulfed in flames and some people were trapped inside. We saw an elevator go down the building and an explosion blasted the elevator off it's track and the people inside knocked out a window and a woman fell out and Lola rescued her.

Lola: Are you all right ma'am?

Mrs. Mueller: Yes I am. Thanks to you.

Lola: My name is Lola Loud and we came to help out.

Mrs. Mueller: Thank you Lola.

Lola landed on the ground and Mrs. Mueller was safe.

Lily: Good save Lola. Now we got to help get those people in the elevator down.

Lola: Right.

Me and Lisa were on top of the elevator.

Me: It's hanging by it's cable.

Lisa: Yes. We're gonna have to cut it and set the elevator onto the street.

Me: Got it.

Lisa: I'll cut it with my cutting laser and you lift it and bring it down to the street.

Me: Right.

Lisa pulled out a Cutting Laser and cut the cable.

Me: That did it. Okay everyone, hold on tight!

I pull the elevator out and flap my wings and hover down to the street.

10 minutes later, I landed the elevator on to the street and all the firefighters were cheering for us.

Me: It was our pleasure to help you all. Now we have to save the other people up near the roof.

Me and Lisa flew up to the Promenade Room and we see a Breaches Buoy carrying people to the building across from the tower.

Me: That's a cleaver method.

Lisa: Indeed.

We go into the Promenade Room.

Lola and Lily are putting out the fire around the building.

Lily fired some glowing water at numerous flames and extinguised them.

Lily: Lola can you absorb fire?

Lola: I don't know. Let me check.

Lola flew into the building and surprisingly she can absorb fire.

Lola: Well what do you know? I CAN absorb fire.

Lola ran down the halls of many floors and absorbed as much fire as she could. She was helping and saving as many people as possible.

Lana and Laney were in the control and utility room and she was looking over the wiring. She found numerous wires in one power box that were really messed up.

Lana: They sure did have no idea what they were doing. These wires are all corroded and broken.

Wess: No kidding. How do you think they got that way?

Lana: There's acid on them and they were cut with a knife.

Wess: So someone wants this whole building to burn?

Lana: From the looks of it I'd say yes.

Laney: That's arson and whoever did all of this is gonna be booked on numerous charges.

Wess: Well the man that installed all these wires in the building is Roger Simmons. He's the electrical engineer and Mr. Duncan's son-in-law.

Lana: He REALLY had no idea what he was doing and he put all these peoples lives at risk.

Laney: Yeah. We need to get him down and tell everyone.

Lana: Lets go sis!

Lana and Laney ran and they got outside and spread their wings and flew up to the Promenade Room.

They got there and helped get the people down.

Me: Okay we got everyone down.

Lana: That's good. Mr. Duncan we found out some very startling info.

Mr. Duncan: What did you find out and thank you for saving us.

Lana: You're welcome. Me and Laney found that some of the electrical wiring was corroded by acid and cut with a knife and was responsible for the fire. Simmons here is responsible for starting the fire and the deaths of 180 people.

Roger: That's absurd!

Laney: Don't play games with us! We know you did it Simmons. The writing is on the wall.

Lana: Yeah. I found this in your pocket as we were carrying you down.

Lana pulled out a bottle of sulfuric acid.

Mr. Duncan: (Enraged) I will hang you for this!

Me: Mr. Duncan he will face trial for his crimes. Right now we need to investigate and see if anymore wiring systems had been affected. This was done out of spite and hatred towards Mr. Duncan.

Laney: I have a feeling you're right J.D. and killing all those people might have been collateral damage.

Lana: Well lets go.

We fly into the building and did a thorough sweep of it and saw that all the electrical and junction boxes all over the building have corroded wires and it was the reason why the sprinker system doesn't work.

Lana: This is worse than what we thought. Simmons probably wanted Duncan dead so he can get all of his money.

Laney: You're right Lana.

Lana and Laney report their findings and the police booked Roger into the jail without bond.

His trial began and lots of witnesses came forward. The trial lasted for 2 days and Roger Simmons was found guilty on all charges including 1st Degree Murder, 1st Degree Manslaughter and Agravated Arson. He was immediately sentenced to death.

Me, Laney, Lana & Lola and Lily got our pictures in the paper and it said "Heroes of San Francisco Highrise Fire". Roger Simmons was executed the following day in the gas chamber.

The exercise ended and we went into the kitchen for dinner.

THE END.

Another Fanfiction Complete.

I wanted to do a chapter based on "The Towering Inferno" from 1974. This was a wicked movie back then and was a big hit back then. It's one of my dads movies from his past and it was awesome. How scary would that be to be stuck on an 1,800 foot high skyscraper while it was on fire? It would be a total nightmare. Almost all the stars in that movie are all dead. Paul Newman, Steve McQueen, William Holden, Faye Dunaway, Richard Chamberlain, Susan Blakely, Jennifer Jones, and even O.J. Simpson starred in that movie. I don't know if any of you saw that movie since it was made 44 years ago and I think some of your family might know this movie. But is they do let me know. This chapter is to pay tribute to those that starred in the movie. Let me know what you all think.

See you next time.
