Elly looked up into the sky. It was darkening at the edges. It was very still and quiet. And then she heard a rumbling noise and saw a flash of light. The first one came quite suddenly out of the darkness. Elly raised her arms and focused her eyes and directed her forces against it. Silver flashes filled the sky and the asteroid exploded. Then she saw the hail - a whole cloud of asteroids of all sizes approaching.
She concentrated fully with her mind, her eyes, her Earth body and her own powers given by her people in the outer reaches of the universe. One by one asteroids forming the hail flashed silver light and then exploded into smithereens and floated harmlessly down to Earth.
Elly sat down. She was exhausted but her mission was accomplished. The Earth was safe and life here would continue. She stood up and turned around. Sandeep stood there staring at her with his mouth open. "Goodbye, Earth friend!" she called and then concentrated her mind for her journey back through space.
Sandeep watched as she dissolved into a shimmer of coloured light. Then the field was empty. "Wow!' he said,' Wondergirl saves the world!.. but where is she now?"
The End
