《HAVEN: THE SKY SCRAPER》Chapter 17: Leviathan
Advertisement
Over in Haven, Phoenix and the team around him are scanning through satellite images and coordinating the army, he notices a group of aircraft worryingly close to where the navy and rescue ships are heading.
"Get me the admiral, get me the admiral now!" He snaps at the others around him.
"What is it Phoenix?" She asks appearing on the main screen.
"The Leviathan is closing in on your location along with red giants" Phoenix informs her in a state of panic.
"How far away?" She continues to ask.
"You should be able to detect them on your scanners in the next twenty minutes or so" he continues.
"Thank you" she replies and the screen goes blank again.
The Red Giants are so called because the aircraft are large in scale and quite literally painted red.
"Your majesty, the Leviathan is inbound" she informs him.
"You've got to be fucking kidding me" he mumbles making his way to the bridge of the ship.
"All ships prepare for combat" Blackcroft announces through a speaker.
Sailors begin to load and reposition guns on the warships, alarms can be heard going off as they enter combat mode.
"This is something we could really do without having to deal with" Nathan moans.
"Full steam ahead" Blackcroft instructs her subordinate.
"Eye, eye, captain, full steam ahead" he replies.
The engines rumble and the ship drastically increases in speed.
"Nautilus, all aircraft airborne, now!" Nathan instructs the aircraft carrier through his headset.
One by one planes take of vertically and zoom overhead.
Before too long blobs appear on the scanners indicating that they are now within range.
"All aircraft standby to engage" Nathan continues to instruct them.
"They're not focusing on us, what are they …" Nathan snaps, as he runs to the other side of the ship, viewing the Leviathan making its way past them in the distance.

"They're targeting the docks" he mutters with a dreadful realization coming over him.
"BLAST THAT THING OUT OF THE SKY! NOW!" Nathan demands.
"YOU HEARD THE KING" the Blackcroft instructs the sailors.
Rockets begin to fire from the ship targeted directly at the Leviathan, flak is fired from the aircraft and the rockets detonate a good distance away from it.
"Naval warships also inbound" Phoenix can be heard announcing through the screen.
"This is going from bad to worse" Nathan mumbles to himself.

Rise of the Business [Class]
'Rise of the Business [Class]' is a story about a world where humanity ended up fleeing through space, after suffering several great disasters at home. On arrival we crash-landed and were soon attacked by magic wielding civilizations who learned how to deal with our weaponry with a speed that belied their seemingly simplistic nature. We were lost. But eventually we survived by abandoning technology and adapting. But this tale takes place thousands of years later, after humanity has had time to rise and falter more than once. It tells of a time where we adapted too much, focusing only on combat and magic and learning to rely on the [System] that our ancestors built in order to compete and survive on this hostile planet with the others. This is a story about our final chance during a time when all of humanity is under siege again, where we struggled to adapt too late and ultimately had to learn how to summon a collection of people from Earth through time and space to come help - but not to the 'besieged time' but back a couple of hundred years - before it went too far down the wrong path, so they can hopefully change things enough to prevent a return to that timeline. Follow Livia as she is ripped from her favorite library and end up getting lucky, or unlucky? On her very first day on the Elderwood continent. While a trio of native lads excitedly leave home to find adventure, oblivious to how very soon they might end up entangled in the fate of the world. But the question that remains to be answered, that this first leg of the journey aims to find out; is what can a LitRPG bookworm like Livia do if called on to change humanity and prepare us all for the future, all before her 21st birthday? Find out soon, as we are finishing up book 1 in the coming two weeks. Cheers for reading this far, have a biscuit!
