It starts with me looking up stuff on the computer. I was on an app that detects Volcanic and Seismic activity. Something caught my eye in Washington state.
Me: Uh-oh. Earthquakes in the small town of Dante's Peak.
I pull up a satellite map and found out that the whole town is right next to a volcano that's scheduled to erupt in the next 24 to 72 hours.
Me: (Gasp) This is bad! We got to move.
I slide down into the Living Room where the Loud Kids, Naruto and the girls, Dawn, Jeri, Jessie, Joan, Varie, Aylene, and Vince are playing games, reading books, and playing card games.
Me: Guys we have a volcanic destruction alert in Washington state. A small town named Dante's Peak is in grave danger.
Sakura: What's wrong?
Me: Dante's Peak is a small town that has a volcano 2 miles northeast of it that's gonna blow within the next 24 to 72 hours.
Varie: What!? Why haven't they left yet?
Me: It says here that evacuation orders are being made. We have to go there and help people. Who wants to come with?
Vince: I will gladly help partner.
Me: I had a feeling you would.
Lincoln: I will go too.
Linka: Same here.
Fu: I'm in.
Sakura: I'll go too. People may need some medical help as well.
Naruto: I'll go too.
Hinata: I'll help too.
Tenten: Me too.
Ino: I'll go too.
Lily: I'll help too.
Laney: I'll go too.
Lucy: I'll come with too.
Dawn: Same here.
Marie: I want to help out too. This'll show that I'm on the path towards redemption.
Varie: I'm coming too.
Carol: Me too.
Me: Wow. I've got a lot of volenteers. All right lets go.
We flew out towards Washington State and we arrived in 1 hour.
The whole town was in the high school gymnasium and the streets were quiet.
Me: It sure is quiet here.
Varie: It's an evacuation meeting.
Then without warning a huge earthquake rattled the area
Me: It's begun.
Less than a minute later the Volcano erupted.
KABOOOMMM!!!!!!!!
Ash clouds and rocks went high up into the sky and it was an incredibly intense sight.
Me: WHOA!!!!
Vince: Unbelievable!
Lincoln: That is one of the scariest things I've ever seen.
Me: No kidding.
Carol: This is not good guys.
Fu: Yeah.
Me: All right guys we have to evacuate everyone within a 20 mile radius of the volcano. Help as many people as possible. Go up the volcano and get people down from it. Lets go people! Lets go, lets go, double time, lets go!
We split off and rescued as many people as possible as the earthquakes were getting worse. The sky was getting dark as the volcanic ash plume was creating a dirty thunderstorm. Lightning was illuminating the ash clouds and ash was snowing down. The whole town was totally in peril. People were trying to drive out and some were running on foot. The town was crumbling apart and everything was being destroyed.
Varie was getting people out when she saw a little girl sitting on the porch of a blue house crying and her little kitten is with her.
Varie: Are you all right?
?: (Crying) No. My parents are gone and I'm scared. Me and Lila are afraid.
Varie: It's okay sweetheart. Everything is gonna be all right.
Naruto: Varie! We're heading to that hotel over there for shelter.
Varie: Okay. [to the girl] You'd better come with us.
?: Okay. I'm Claire.
Varie: It's a pleasure. I'm Varie.
Claire came with them.
Fu and Sakura came down from the Volcano and with them was an elderly woman and her dog Ruffy.
In a hotel room that had lots of seismographic equipment and computer gear they met Paul Dreyfus, Stan, Nancy, and Greg.
Paul: Oh my goodness.
Claire was still crying as Varie was comforting her.
Ruth: What is happening out there?
Sakura: Ruth, that mountain is a volcano and it's gonna destroy the whole town with the fury of Mount St. Helens.
Ruth: (Shocked) What?
Me: Varie!
Varie: In here.
Me and everyone else came in.
Lincoln: Everyone has been evacuated.
Ruth: Wait a minute where's Rachel, Lauren and Graham?
?: (On a Radio) Paul? Paul it's Harry. Can anyone hear me?
Me: I got it. [Picks up the radio] Harry? We hear you. My name is J.D. Knudson. Me, Varie and my friends here came and got everyone within a 20 mile radius out of the town.
Harry: You saved this whole town from destruction J.D. and we owe you all big time. Where's Paul?
Me: He's right here.
I hand the radio to him.
Paul: Harry, where are you?
Harry: We're up at Mirror Lake at the lodge. The road's down but we're okay.
Paul: This is turning into something really catastrophic. I'll send the helicopter as soon as the ash clouds clear away.
Harry: Listen Paul get the heck out of there before it's too late okay? Don't wait for us.
Me: Let me talk to him. [Paul gives me the radio] Harry, we're gonna come up there and get you so hang tight. Is Rachel, Graham and Lauren with you?
Harry: Yes they are. Graham and Lauren went up the mountain to get Ruth. Where is she?
Me: She's right here with us in the hotel room. She and her dog Ruffy are okay. Fu and Sakura brought them down. Just hang on Harry. We're on our way.
Harry: Thank you so much J.D.
Me: You're welcome. [Puts the radio down] Varie, you get everyone out of here at sunrise. Vince, you see if there's anything worth saving here in town when the ash stops.
Varie: You got it. Be careful.
Vince: You can count on me partner.
Me: Fu, Sakura, Naruto, you three come with me. Lets go!
We ran off and flew towards the Volcano. Over the forests we saw the road gone.
Me: A rockslide wiped out the road. No wonder.
We then saw numerous trees on fire caused by lava flows and the entire lodge was burning.
Sakura: The lodge is on fire!
Fu: [Points to the lake] Look. Waves on the water. They must've taken a boat onto it.
Me: Maybe, lets move!
We flew out over the lake and saw that it was green and all the fish are dead.
Naruto: All the fish are dead.
Me: This is not a good sign.
I take a beaker out and put some water into it and discovered that it was acid.
Me: This water has been turned into acid because of volcanic activity.
Naruto: They went on a lake of acid?
Sakura: That's crazy!
Me: Lets go!
They flew farther and they saw a boat heading for a nearby dock and someone was paddling with something.
Me: That's them! Come on!
Naruto: SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!
Naruto made four Shadow Clones and they flew towards the boat and picked up the people.
Me: It's Harry, Rachel, Graham and Lauren.
They got to the shore and we looked them over.
Me: Are you Harry?
Harry: Yes. I'm Harry Dalton, Volcanologist.
Me: It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm J.D. Knudson.
Sakura: I'm Sakura Haruno.
Naruto: I'm Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze.
Fu: And I'm Fu. I don't have a last name.
Rachel: We've heard so much about you all. Is the whole town evacuated?
Me: Yes. The whole town is evacuated. Ruth and Ruffy are in the hotel we're at and Varie is having everyone leave at Sunrise.
Graham: Thank goodness. We thought they died in the lava.
Naruto: No they didn't. Now we have to get you guys out of here.
Me: Yeah. I sense an even bigger eruption on the horizon in the next to 12 hours.
Naruto: Yeah. I can feel it. Lets go guys.
Sunrise came and we picked them up and flew towards the sight where Varie, Vince, Carol, Lincoln, Linka, Laney, Lucy, Lily, Marie, Hinata, Ino, Tenten, and Dawn were at. The National Guard was called in and FEMA and the American Red Cross were called in too.
Me, Naruto, Sakura and Fu were carrying Harry, Rachel, Graham and Lauren and just as we entered the town the Volcano exploded with a powerful Lateral Eruption.
KRABBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Me: WHOA!!!!!
Varie: Look at that!
Me: Let's hightail it guys!
We flew out of town just in the nick of time as Pyroclastic Clouds raced down the volcano at a blazing speed and destroyed the entire town completely.
We landed by Varie, Vince and team.
Vince: J.D.! Thank goodness you're safe man.
Me: Yeah. That was intense.
Varie: J.D.!
Varie hugged and kissed me.
Varie: Thank goodness you're okay.
Rachel: J.D. you have no idea how grateful we are that you saved all of Dante's Peak.
Me: I'm glad we could help Rachel.
Lauren: Claire!!
Claire: Lauren!
Lauren and Claire hugged and it turns out that Claire and Lauren are best friends in school.
Lauren: What happened to you Claire?
Claire: My parents are gone. I have nowhere to go.
Rachel heard this.
Rachel: You poor thing.
Me: Rachel? What are you gonna do now? Are you gonna rebuild Dante's Peak from the ground up or move on and live somewhere else?
Rachel: We're gonna move somewhere else.
Laney: That's a wise choice. Volcanoes destroy everything and have hurt and killed numerous people over the centuries.
Carol: Yeah. Volcanoes only destroy because of intense pressure.
Marie: This was absolutely horrible. I can't believe how much power Volcanoes have. Were there any fatalities?
Me: No. We got everyone out and we suffered no casualties. But some people have bad injuries. Seattle has built a shelter for all the people.
Graham: That's good. Now we all can recover and move on.
Ruth: Thank goodness.
Hinata: I'm just glad that everyone is all right.
Ino: Me too. But lets look over the injured and see if they need any help.
Sakura: Right.
Later in Seattle they were looking over the injured and there were lots of hurt people.
?: Claire?
Claire saw a woman with brown hair.
Claire: Mommy!
She hugged her mom and cried hard.
Varie: Are you Claire's mom?
?: I sure am. I've heard so many good things about you Varie. I'm Heather.
Varie: It's a pleasure to meet you. Claire has been forever scarred by this whole catastrophe.
Heather: I know. We don't have a home anymore. It's all gone.
Varie: We have lots of new houses going up in Royal Woods, Michigan. I figure it would be perfect for you all to start over there.
Heather: That's a great idea. We have nowhere to go.
After all the people recovered we had a press conference in Washington D.C.
Me: Good afternoon everyone. I'm sorry for interrupting your activities again but less than 24 hours ago, a massive volcanic eruption of Mount St. Helens strength completely destroyed the little town of Dante's Peak in Washington state. The volcano produced a powerful level 6 Eruption on the Volcanic Explosivity Index chart and there is nothing left of the whole town. Me, Varie and my friends Vince Pusateri, Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, Fu, Hinata Hyuga, Ino Yamanaka, Tenten, Dawn, and the Loud siblings all responded to this catastrophe and got everyone out of there. There are no casualties but the whole town of Dante's Peak in it's entirety is a complete and total loss. The evacuation warnings came too late and it was mass panic among the entire town. That volcano completely destroyed the entire town and there is nothing left of it now.
A newspaper article showed the whole catastrophe and it was terrible. The volcano now has a striking resemblence to Mount Sr. Helens and the entire southwestern side of the summit of the volcano was completely blown apart in a powerful lateral eruption. This means that the volcano is lying dormant yet again for the next few thousands of years.
The people of Dante's Peak now live in Royal Woods and Detroit and they now live in a new home.
THE END.
Another Fanfiction complete.
Dante's Peak was an intense movie that I've known since I was a kid. I've always loved learning about all of Earth's Volcanoes and how they affect everyone. I can't believe that Dante's Peak was right by that volcano and it completely destroyed the whole town with all that pressure its built up over the centuries. Pierce Brosnan from James Bond did a fantastic job and so did Linda Hamilton from Terminator. Can you imagine how scary that would be to see a volcano erupt 3 miles from your home and then have a Mount St. Helens eruption later on? That would be a nightmare on a whole new level. I've seen volcanoes erupt in documentaries and they have enormous power. Histories most famous volcanic eruptions over the centuries have claimed more lives than any other natural disaster ever known on the planet. Funny thing about Dante's Peak is that the volcano in that movie doesn't exist and they used a special permit on Mount St. Helens National Park to film it. The Town is real, it was filmed in a small town in Idaho called Wallace. Let me know what you all think.
See you all next time.
