Slowly, oceanic temperatures returned to normal levels. Its currents began to revert to its normal paths. Storms calmed. Earthquake seized. Floods diminished.
Humans again suffered loss against its old enemy; greed.
Like a rainbow after a storm, rescue and relief operations commenced as millions lost their lives and millions went missing. Hand in hand, humans again helped each other regardless of society's classification (race, religion, politics, etc.) in building the world again.
Simultaneously, the culprits met the end of their selfish plans. NEA hunted the brains of the operation. One by one, their selfish hands finally were tied. The second apocalypse involved quite a number of well-known and powerful people across the globe. In hopes of global domination, they managed to pull off the biggest genocide the world as ever seen. It's scary where ๐จ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฅ could take a person's mind.
As the world returns to the way it used to be, one big question was left unanswered.
๐๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ช๐ด ๐๐ฐ๐ฆ ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ณ๐ช๐ฅ?
NEA teamed up with experts in finding me. Days passed but there were no signs of me anywhere. They've searched the regions of the atmosphere I was last seen on. The countries where I would likely crash. As well as the bodies of water under my last location. Billions worth of rewards were put out just to help in the search.
But despite all their persistent efforts.
No Joe Madrid surfaced on Earth.
The world waited patiently for NEA's official announcement regarding the matter. Then it came...
A day after Christmas day of the year twenty thirty one. Billions of hearts were on their toes as Ed broke his silence...
"This.."
All suited up with black there he stood in front of all the cameras.
"--unfortunate event that struck all of us is still unbelievable to me up to now." He started.
"I've known Joe since we were kids. We've been through the highs and lows in life as brothers.." His voice broke as he wiped his tears in front of the world at my funeral.
"Joe never had an easy life. He had to earn and learn everything that built him to the "Joe" that we looked up now." He sobbed along billions of viewers across the Globe.
"We've searched high and low but he is nowhere to be found. I'm sorry broth--" He couldn't stop his tears and decided to step off the camera.
"He's saved us all again from Elon, from people's greed, and from another end of the world. It's believed that he sacrificed himself to close the final vortex that was swallowing everything on the surface. Elon's remains were discovered floating in the Ionosphere and it's safe to say he's gone as well." The Russian president, the current NEA commander replacing Joe, continued Ed's speech.
"People of Earth, We are saddened to confirm that..." Ed returned to the broadcast.
"...the great Joe Madrid,
My brother, my best friend,
is gone."
"Goodbye, brother"
The world stopped.
It wept.
It mourned.
