"Hurry up!" Jamie shouted.

The boys pedaled even more laboriously. The sky was now dark as coal and the sudden thunder brought more dread into the boys' heart.

"Did you just hear that?" Bogart asked. "It was frighteningly loud!"

"It was the loudest I heard all my life," Tonton seconded.

From out of nowhere, flashes of lightning appeared in the sky. They were random and their bright yellow and white streaks cut across the sky.

The four stopped and stared at the wonder. They never had seen such thing in Subangdaku. Lightnings alternately flared in random patterns, and the once dark firmanent glowed in marvelous lights.

"It's beautiful!" Bogart bellowed.

"And scary at the same time," Kiko objected. "This has never happened before."

The boys continued watching and after a another loud thunder, the lightnings exploded into one final burst of radiance. The sky once again turned pitch black, covering Subangdaku with darkness again.

"Wow, that one is the loudest ever!" Bogart exclaimed again.

"How did that happen?" Tonton asked.

"Is there a storm coming?" Kiko uttered. "It's not in the news."

"It's actually weird," Jamie said. "Those thunders and lightnings are too close. They were like fireworks but grander and brighter."

"But we can't deny it, guys," Bogart spoke with smile in his lips. "That was magnificently beautiful!"

The three looked at one another and the boys instantly laughed.

"That was a crazy thing," Kiko said. "Hope someone has taken a photo of that"

"Or photos," Tonton agreed. "Science books will kill to have those images."

Once more, they all laughed in unison. They began their bicycle ride again and despite the sudden peals of thunder and lightning, the night was not as cold as they expected. Passing by the haunted house and seeing the atmospheric showdown did not bring enough chill; the boys were sweating hard.

"The sky is clear again," Jamie finally broke the silence. "I thought it would rain after that, or at least some cold breeze."

"Don't you think it's beautiful?" Tonton voiced out. "The stars are incredibly brighter and clearer."

"Yes," Bogart agreed. "I can see the Big Dipper."

"We can actually stop for a while and look at the stars," Kiko suggested.

"It's late already," Jamie said matter-of-factly. "But I kind of like that."

Jamie chuckled and stopped his bike. The three boys also did the same. Bogart immediately jumped into the lush grass and the others followed.

"It's lovely!" Jamie whispered.

"It's magnificent," Kiko agreed.

"It's the Little Bear!" Bogart pointed.

"It's the Polaris!" Tonton echoed.

A moment of silence ensued as the boys absorbed the beauty of the sky above.

"The grass smells fresh that it makes me feel sleepy," Bogart said.

"Yes," Jamie agreed. "I'm also feeling tired and lazy that we should better get going."

The two were about to rise when Kiko jolted and pointed at something. "Hey, guys, look! That could not be a star. It's moving way too fast."

The other three followed his finger. Indeed, there was something very bright moving in the sky. It was even brighter than Polaris.

"It's just a plane," Tonton said uninterestingly.

"It can't be," Bogart countered. "It is not blinking."

"It is!" Tonton insisted.

"But it does not blink the same way planes do," Jamie finally said. "It's not red or yellow."

"It seems very far," Kiko spoke up, "but it moves really fast."

"It's a meteor," Bogart voiced out. "Is there a meteor shower tonight? "

"Nope," Kiko answered. "It's not in the news and it's not in the books."

"It's just a random meteor," Jamie said. "Come on, guys, let's go home."

The other boys rose up but Kiko remained seated on the grass, fixated on the sky.

"C'mon, Kiko, let's go. " Bogart said. "Why are you still staring at the sky?"

"I think it's getting bigger, guys," Kiko answered. "It seems like it's moving toward us."

The three looked up again and stared in silence. Indeed, the "shooting star" seemed to grow larger, from a mere little dot like the tip of a pencil to a bigger round like the tip of a board marker.

"Whoa!" Bogart gasped. "I think you are not mistaken."

The "meteor" was now obviously brighter than the surrounding stars; it was five times larger than the Polaris. Seconds passed by and it grew much even bigger.

"Something's not right about what we are seeing," Tonton finally shattered their reverie.

"This is really very wrong," Kiko agreed.

They continued to gaze in disbelief as the "thing" took on much larger size. It was now like the size of a baseball and it grew bigger at a much faster pace.

"I'm beginning to get scared," Bogart mattered.

In just few seconds more, it grew to a basketball with blinding brightness. Neighboring stars were swallowed by its radiance and the once eerily dark sky gradually shone.

"It's coming towards us!" Jamie shouted after realizing that the meteor would probably fall into the village.

As if on cue, the boys quickly rode their bikes and begin pedalling. It was harder this time, sweating more than before even though the night breeze had already become colder. In panic, Kiko turned around and his eyes grew with what he saw.

"Oh no!" Kiko shouted. "It will hit us."

The three turned around and were almost thrown on the ground. The bright thing was now almost a meter wide. As it approached the village, loud thunders were heard.

"Faster!" Jamie ordered.

The boys moved faster while the light and thunders intensified with each passing moment. Bogart turned around again.

"This can't be!" And the boy tripped over.

"Bogart!" Tonton yelled and immediately stopped and ran toward his friend to assist him. He was crying now. The other two also halted.

Kiko looked at the sky again and the meteor was covering at least half of the sky. Its white light was glowingly profusely. "It can't be happening."

They shielded their eyes, afraid that the extreme brightness would blind them. The thunders grew more deafening as the light engulfed the entire sky. It was a moment of fear and chaos, and in the heart and mind of the four boys, the end had come.

In the blink of an eye, the thunders blasted one last time as the sky exploded into blazing brightness. The Biker Brothers were all thrown away....
