Fortnite Nuking

The Fortnite Nuking occurred when the Republic Of Kekistan decided to retaliate to the Kekistan Blitz that was occurring. This was to be done by dropping an Atomic Bomb in New Athens with hopes of killing Elena Janet in the process. The plan was approved 5 months after the blitz had begun and 6 months after the beginning of Operation Autism Storm. The plan entailed sending as many aircraft over the city as possible to buy time for the the nuke to be dropped.

### The Raid

The plan was set in motion as a wing of 200+ Aircraft approached the city, air raid sirens blurred and many seeked shelter. As The Royal Ashtronian Air force scrambled to meet the incoming raid, flak crews scrambled to their guns. The opposing sides engaged in combat 18km north of Fortnite Island as the Keks planned to use it as a navigation point. Both sides gave it their all with many planes engaging in dog fights with a few instances of friendly fire and accidental ramming occurring. But fate had the final say as an Ashtronian pilot fired all of his Missiles in a barrage at the bomber carrying the payload, most of the rockets missed, however, 4 hit the aircraft removing most of the planes flaps as well as destroying the 3rd and 4th engines, sending the bomber into a death spiral towards Fortnite Island. In a final act of desperation the trapped Bombadier armed the nuke and managed to inform the air-wing, immediately pulling out.

### Detonation

About 20 seconds later, the plane crashed just off the coast of the island detonating the nuke with the resulting explosion immediately making Fortnite Island uninhabitable for thousands of years. This also caused all electronics within 150km to be fried by the E.M.P that followed, knocking many planes out of the sky. Due to the nuke landing in water, a tsunami was caused flooding the island for a week and causing 18% of New Athens to be flooded, mostly the coastal region. Later on when the radiation fell, some was washed into the city, though only a small bit actually stayed when the tides receded.

### Aftermath

Though the main part of The Kekistani plan failed, it still was able to inflict damage on their target city. Though unfortunately not killing Elena Janet, it was able to cause damage due to the tsunami and radiation. Because many had stayed in air raid shelters a large number of people in the flooded parts of the city were drowned when the water inevitably seeped into the shelter with no way for residents to escape. Along with that the entirety of the New Athens Subway was submerged forcing many out into the streets.

Overall the civilians death count is estimated at 30,000~, for the air battle about 400+ planes where lost within the span of an hour and about 950~ air crewman dead, a number unheard of since WW2. With this, the Royal Ashtronian Air Force suspended the blitz.

Whilst the chaos of the tsunami occurred, a Pro-Ashtron government figure along with some others discovered that the evil part of Elena Janet was possessing her physical body whilst the good part was stuck in The Ross Wallace Shield, as the good soul had called out to them whilst they took refuge in Ashtrons treasure room. With this a march on evil Elena was performed with the Royal Ashtron Guards immediately imprisoning evil Elena and calling for a cease fire with Kekistan which was agreed to. This allowed peace talks to begin.
