TJC Victory

The Bombing of West Boston and Belmont was a big event towards the end of the book *Divide and Conquer*. During the Battle at Gabriel's house in the Boston hills, an unidentified flying object, which was predicted to be a rocket or even a blimp, dropped a big bomb only 5 miles away from the House, where chaos was taking place. The Bomb wasn't radiated, and wasn't necessarily destructive, but it did damage many places like the small town of Belmont, Gabriel's house, the Fig Forests and Farms, the Boston Sewers, and parts of West Boston.

## Events Leading up

##### Main Article: Execution of Gabriel and Katelyn

The Execution of Gabriel and Katelyn event lead up to this battle. JMBZ guards were about to execute them both, but luckily they survived.

## Backup

While Gabriel, Katelyn, and Seraphin were fleeing from swarms and swarms of JMBZ guards, five helicopters appeared above them. Austin, Vincent, and a bunch of other TJCTO Crews were piloting the helicopters. They wore TJC armor suits so they could recognize each other. It later appeared that Zachary and Joshua were commanding the army of reinforcements.

## The Battle

Thanks to the TJC reinforcements, the JMBZ were easily devoured by TJC crews. Joshua practically deafened JMBZ guards with his sonic voice nanotech. Deafening them caused a huge advantage for the TJC combatants.

A few minutes later, an unknown flying vehicle five miles away dropped many nukes. Jayden warned them all in the nick of the time the nukes touched the ground. They all rushed into the bunkers in Gabriel's house. The nuke caused a roaring boom, completely destroying buildings, houses, trees, vehicles, etc. Many JMBZ guards were seen melted by the inferno heat wave.

## Casualties

Many people died or were melted during the explosion, but the news stated that many people vanished after the explosion, the most famous being Juan, who was later found burnt. Unfortunately, over 100 people went Missing. However, most of the people were found either alive or dead. Lots of JMBZ Commanders, including the Head Guard, who was hanged after he was kicked out from the deck, vanished. Authorities concluded that the fire simply evaporated them.

## Destruction

The Destruction on the areas affected by the Bomb were large. Belmont, the city the Bomb was dropped on, was almost completely wiped out, with 95% of the City being reduced to rubble. Due to this, Belmont was incorporated into Boston. Due to the Sewer Operating System being in Belmont, the Sewer System in Boston, Cambridge, and it's neighboring cities collapsed. The Sewers were undergoing a series of inspection, due to them being uncleaned for over a year, but the barrier between the sewers and the surface broke, which exposed the disgusting smell to the people. The New Year that year was considered the "Stinkiest Christmas of them all." Eventually, the sewers were developed in a smaller fashion, and the cleaned, extra, underground space was used for a new set of high-speed metro. Gabriel's old house, which was nothing but a frame, was razed down. Most of the materials were used to build his other house on Charleston Island. The lot still belongs to Gabriel, who has a side business selling Figs that grow on the hills near it.

## Legacy

The Bombing of West Boston and Belmont has a lasting legacy. The UN recognized the bombing as a Terrorist Attack, but did not figure who exactly planned this event. In Boston, the Bomb is very much remembered. Many people go to the Bomb Memorial, which is a small model of the Parthenon. Millions of flowers are put in front of it every year. The Governor of Massachusetts made a Memorial Day for Massachusetts for the day that the bomb dropped.
