There were close to two hundred million people in Falcon Scott, and relocating them to Eastern Antarctica was going to take at least three weeks.

The second week of the siege was over.

We're 2/3 there, hang in a little longer

Fall of falcon scott (49) (Joemuda note in one chap crazy)
Goliath walked forward, the world quaking
under the weight of his steps.
The sea of Nightmare Creatures was
flowing past his titanic feet, and all around
them the furious blizzard was slowly
retreating, the winds dying down as pale
starlight washed over the vast killing field.
On the tall, broken wall of the city,
thousands of turrets were roaring as they
sent rivers of bullets into the attacking
horde. The moonless night was torn apart
by the glow of overheated barrels, the shine
of swift tracer rounds, and the flashes of
railgun rounds striking their targets in a
conflagration of force, heat, and blinding
light.
A few of those heavy tungsten rounds had
hit Goliath, only to disintegrate fruitlessly
without leaving even a Scratch on the stone
hide of the menacing titan.
The soldiers of the first army trembled as they joined the barrage - the mundane
soldiers, the Awakened, the towering war
platforms, the few Masters that were still
alive after two weeks of the dreadful siege.
On the ground near the breached sections
of the wall, others were shivering as they craned their necks to stare at the
approaching titan.
...However, Sunny remained still. Tw
'Closer... get closer.."
He was perhaps the only human in Falcon
Scott who wanted the colossal giant to walk
faster. The Siege Souvenir could only be
used once, so he had only one shot to
shatter Goliath's stone carapace.
Standing indifferently by his side, Saint
raised the long javelin and placed it on her
shoulder. The four shadows moved, fusing
with her onyx armor.
It shone with black radiance, and the feeling
of great power emanating from the graceful
figure of the taciturn stone knight instantly
became much vaster, much deeper, and
much more terrifying.
At the same, darkness flowed from Saint's
gauntlet, slowly spreading across the length
of the white javelin. Its whiteness was
consumed, replaced by a lightless
blackness. While the Transcendent Devil
herself was augmented by the shadows, her weapon was now enhanced by the [Blade
of Darkness].
There was the [Mantle of Darkness], as well,
which made Saint stronger when
surrounded by darkness and shadows.
Sunny summoned the Shadow Lantern,
allowing it to consume all surrounding light.
Soon, the three of them - Sunny, Saint, and
Jet - were hidden from sight within a circle
of deep shadow. N
'Almost there..."
The fastest of the Nightmare Creatures -
those that had survived the barrage,
meaning the strongest and most vile of
them - were already moments away from
reaching the wall, separating into four wide
rivers of flesh to attack the four breaches.
Goliath, meanwhile, was a few steps away
from crossing half of the killing field.
Sunny looked directly at the hateful giant
and prepared to give Saint the command..
At that moment, however, something
changed.
The titan's massive, malformed head turned
slightly, and his sole eye stared back. Si
Sunny shivered.
There were thousands and thousands of
humans on the wall, and all of them must
have looked like mere ants to Goliath.
However, somehow, it felt as though the
titan was gazing directly at him.
The weight of that gaze was almost
physical. No... it was much more dire than
that.
Sunny gritted his teeth, feeling a very bad
premonition grasp his heart.
"What.."
Then, the milky surface of the giant's eye
quivered... and slid away like an eyelid.
Behind it, a second eye was revealed. Unlike
the first one, which was white and had
neither an iris nor a pupil, that one was of a
furious red color, as if made of pure magma,
and had three incandescent pupils floating
in its depths, like windows into a scorching
inferno.
Suddenly, Sunny was enveloped by
unbearable heat He felt water streaming
down on him, and looked up to see the
snow clouds melting in the skies above.
Bizarrely, it was raining in the middle of the
polar winter.
Beneath him, the seventy-meter tall
defensive wall of the city suddenly moved
and groaned. Glancing over the parapet,
Sunny saw with horror that the impregnable
alloy... it was melting, too.
All around him, the mighty MWPs were
collapsing into puddles of liquid metal, the
pilots screaming as they burned alive. The
barrels of the powerful turrets disappeared
into streams of incandescent drops, and the
mighty railguns grew silent. A few meters
away, Samara screamed and flinched back
from her rifle, a vicious burn marring her
cheek.
Across the entire southern section of the
city wall, the great defensive barrier bent
and deformed, moments away from
collapsing entirely.
Countless people plummeted to their
deaths or were consumed by the
immolating heat.
All of it happened in an instant.
'Gods.."
Knowing that there was no time to waste
Sunny shuddered as he changed his
command slightly and sent it to Saint.
The onyx knight instantly moved.
Taking a single step, she raised the javelin
behind her. For a moment, Saint's entire
body turned into a graceful arch - from the
tip of her foot, to her hip, to her shoulder, to
her fist.
Then, her hand whipped forward, and the
battlement under her shattered from
immense pressure. Even her vambrace
cracked, shards of onyx falling down like
precious gems.
At the last moment, the four shadows slid
from her fingers and wrapped themselves
around the Siege Souvenir.
The long, immeasurably heavy javelin shot
forward with the speed of lightning.
Immediately, there was a deafening boom
of sound barriers being pierced, anda
powerful shockwave rolled across the
battlement, throwing people off their feet.
The artificial Memory streaked across the
black sky like a line of pure darkness,
creating a whirlpool of hurricane winds in its wake.
A split second later, it hit Goliath's right in
the eye.
There was a flash of light, and then a worldshaking thunderclap.
And then, the sound of shattering stone.
The Siege Souvenir plunged right between
the titan's three pupils, disappearing into the
red molten eye entirely. Then, it burst from
the back of the giant's head in an explosion
of broken stone.
[Your Memory has been destroyed.]
As Sunny watched in stunned silence, vast
cracks snaked through Goliath's head. The
colossus froze in a strange pose, its torso
leaning slightly back. His eye was
completely destroyed, and his head...
His head shattered and fell apart, giant
slabs of stone plummeting down from a
great height. The walking mountain swayed,
twitched, and then slowly started to tilt.
Everyone - both the humans and the
Nightmare Creatures - froze, watching the
titan fall in utter shock.
Sunny blinked.
What.. what just happened?'
As if responding, the Spell whispered softly
into his ear:
[You have slain a Fallen Titan, Minor Shard
of the Stone Titan].
[..Your shadow grows stronger.]

  The Fall of falcon scott (50)
  The colossal, headless body of Goliath tilted
  forward, and then started to fall. Because of
  its enormous size, it seemed as though the
  giant's corpse slowly floated through the air
  instead of crashing down in an obliterating
  avalanche of stone.
  However, hundreds of Nightmare Creatures
  below were already panicking as they tried
  to flee and escape being crushed to death.
  Sunny froze, momentarily stunned. '...What
  just happened?
  He... he had killed the damned bastard?
  How? That was not what was supposed to
  happen!
  Sunny had poured countless hours into
  creating the Siege Souvenir and making
  sure that Saint would Transcend in time.
  However, he had never expected to slay the
  Fallen Titan with one strike. A titan was a
  titan! They were not supposed to die so
  easily.
  The plan was for the javelin to shatter the
  stone carapace on the chest of the giant,
  creating a path toward his heart. Master Jet
  was supposed to enter the breach and
  destroy Goliath's soul cores from within,
  while Sunny and Saint would attack from
  the outside. Together, they were meant to
  slowly bring the giant down... and maybe
  even survive the process. Tw
  When the titan had revealed his
  incandescent eye and started melting the
  city wall, Sunny was forced to switch targets
  and command Saint to aim for the eye
  instead. He had never thought that Goliath
  would be killed by that single strike.
  ...Was that eye the titan's Achilles heel?
  Kim had not noticed a pronounced
  vulnerability after they encountered the
  giant on the coastal highway, though.
  Maybe her powers were not enough to see
  it? Or was the vulnerability only exposed
  when Goliath revealed his inner, hidden eye?
  In any case, the titan... the titan was
  undoubtedly dead.
  Sunny had killed him.
  For a moment, a dark glee ignited in his
  heart. 'That's for Erebus Field, you foul
  bastard... and for me, too. That is payback
  for almost killing me..."
  But then, his glee disappeared. By all
  accounts, Sunny should have felt
  exhilarated - he had killed a titan, after all!
  But instead of joy, he felt chills running
  down his spine.
  Suddenly tense, Sunny looked around. The
  armaments of the defensive barrier were all
  but destroyed, and the wall itself was
  damaged and deformed. A few sections had
  collapsed entirely, but most still stood.
  The defenders had suffered heavy losses,
  especially among the pilots burned to death
  with their MWPs. Many soldiers had lost
  their rifles, and the outer layers of their
  powered armor suits were severely
  damaged. However, there were still enough
  of them alive to continue the fight... maybe.
  Luckily, most Awakened had managed to
  dismiss their steel Memories, saving them
  from being destroyed, and were now
  summoning them back.
  Everyone was still in utter shock,
  mesmerized by the sight of the slowly
  toppling colossus.
  Something was wrong, though. Very, very
  Wrong.
  ..Goliath should not have died that easily, or
  that fast.
  Master Jet, who had been hanging outside
  the wall, ready to push herself forward to
  follow the plan and attack the titan, climbed
  back and looked at him, a rare expression of
  bewilderment written on her face.
  "Sunny, what the hell.. how?"
  He did not answer, staring past her at the
  falling mountain.
  I killed him. I did.."
  Even before the body fell, wide cracks
  appeared all across it. Chunks of stone were
  splintering off and falling down. From the
  distance, it almost looked as if the giant..
  was been diseased, his skin covered by
  Sores and ulcers.
  And the cracks. Behind some of them,
  instead of solid stone, there was nothing but
  darkness. As if parts of the titan's body had
  been hollowed out long before the battle.
  Moments before the massive corpse
  crashed into the ground, Sunny's eyes
  widened.
  'Curse it!'
  In the next second, the colossal mass of
  stone collided against the earth, making the
  whole world shake. Enormous clouds of
  snow, dirt, and debris rose into the air, and
  countless Nightmare Creatures were
  crushed under the obliterating weight. A
  thunderous roar rolled over the killing field,
  and shards of stone shot outward like
  bullets, decimating even more
  abominations.
  One more section of the wall collapsed.
  However, that was not what Sunny was
  looking at. His gaze was locked on the
  massive corpse itself.
  When Goliath's body hit the ground, large
  portions of it cracked like the shell of a
  rotten egg. And from within...
  A tide of darkness flowed, eviscerating the
  few wounded Nightmare Creatures that still
  clung to life and stretching toward the
  broken city wall like black tentacles.
  The Heart of Darkness..!
  The river of black beetles had mysteriously
  disappeared some days ago, and almost at
  the same time, Goliath's speed had
  decreased.
  The beetles liked to tunnel through
  mountains and devour mighty creatures
  from within. The Fallen Titan had been like a
  walking mountain himself, and mighty
  beyond belief as well. Someone should have
  guessed that the giant might have been
  parasitized by the legion of the tiny, dreadful
  creatures. But no one had.
  It was so clear... in hindsight. Sunny himself
  had been too blinded by the threat of the
  titan to consider such a possibility. His
  preconceived notions of what constituted
  power, and his personal animosity against
  the stone giant, resulted in a ruinous case of
  tunnel vision.
  'Damn it!'
  He glanced at the city defenses once again,
  realizing that almost everything that could
  have been used against vast swarms of tiny
  vermin had been destroyed by Goliath. The
  First Army had been prepared to face one
  overwhelming enemy, not myriads of
  dangerous, but comparatively weak
  creatures.
  He looked at Jet, his lips trembling.
  "Bloodwave..."
  She frowned.
  "What?"
  Sunny grabbed the Soul Reaper by the
  shoulders and barked:
  "Bloodwave! Summon Bloodwave here! He's
  our best hope of stopping the Heart of
  Darkness!"
  She hesitated for a short moment, then
  looked beyond the wall and hissed an
  explicit curse. Then, Jet took a step back
  and started summoning a Memory that was
  supposed to give the fearsome Saint a
  signal to abandon his duty of protecting the
  ships and join the battle.
  Sunny, meanwhile, was already moving,
  calling upon a few Memories of his own.
  He had no idea how they would be able to
  handle both the vast horde of Nightmare
  Creatures that had come with Goliath and
  the tide of black beetles with the defensive
  barrier ruined and barely holding.
  The wall was severely damaged, and many
  of the soldiers had either died or were
  rendered helpless, their weapons destroyed.
  ...And yet, they had no other choice but to
  fight, and claw the victory out of fate's grasp
  somehow.
  There was simply nowhere to retreat.
