Hank and Alex had successfully managed to get out of their seats and Erik and Hunter joined them as the four walked out the jet. Shielding her eyes from the sun, outside the submarine Azazel, Angel and Riptide glared at the four. Using her wings, Angel lifted off the ground whilst Azazel bared his knife.

Sending an energy blast straight towards Riptide, Alex made Riptide fly back with force and hit the submarine. From behind Alex and Hank, Azazel appeared and wrapped his red tail around Alex's neck and grabbed onto Hank's arm and they both disappeared. Erik and Hunter exchanged shocked looks then nodded at each other. Erik began to run towards the submarine as he pulled off a large chunk of the wall which landed on Riptide, whilst Hunter floated in the air and sent a green ball of light in Angel's direction. A green wave of light swirled around a large log and Hunter sent it straight towards Angel, falling on her.

Flying above the sea, Hunter caught a glance of Hank and Alex on the boat where they were fighting Azazel. Hovering above the boat, Hunter threw several balls of green energy in Azazel's direction. Beast when running towards Azazel and they disappeared. Landing on the boat unsuccessfully, Hunter rolled onto the deck on her back beside Alex who was only just recovering from being chucked onto the floor.

Running towards the two teenagers from all sides of the boat, armed men started yelling at them both.

"Gangway, Gangway!"

Getting up, they both stood back to back and slowly lifted up their arms. A small buzzing could be heard in the distance as Hunter looked up to see Angel flying towards the ship.

"this bastard can't die can she?" Hunter muttered as Alex glance over his shoulder to see Angel.

"Get down!" He yelled as Angel spat out a small ball of fire.

Ducking down quickly a small explosion happened by her feet as she scrambled backwards. Beside her, crates tumbled over as guards dived down for safety. The plate which was on Alex's suit that would help with his aim sizzled and caught fire as he quickly threw it off him and onto the floor. Just as Angel was about to strike again, Banshee burst out of the water and let out a loud scream, sending soundwaves towards Angel making her tumble back in the sky.

Banshee began to glide above the sea whilst Angel chased after him. Then the guards with guns returned and pointed them towards Alex and Hunter who had just gotten up again. Rolling her eyes, they both lifted their arms above their heads but as they both caught a glance of Banshee they covered their ears.

The guards dropped down onto the floor and howled in pain whilst Alex and Hunter grinned. Making a runner for the end of the boat, Alex jumped off the ledge and grabbed onto Banshee's arm whilst Hunter did the same but carried herself.

Fully well knowing Angel was after the two boys, Hunter closely followed and sent several balls of energy in the dark haired girls direction which she unfortunately missed.

To her left, Sean and Alex hit the sand with impact as Angel chased them down. Stopping above the sea, Hunter sent a big ball of green light barrelling towards her but she unfortunately dodged it. But what she didn't dodge was a red line of light sent from Alex on the beach, slicing half her wing making her fall to the sandy ground.

Hunter had an enormous smile on her face as she turned to Alex as she landed on the ground. "Dude! you did it!"

Alex looked up the sky with an exhausted look on his face but he was proud, Hunter could tell.

On the other side of the beach, Azazel was about to gouge out Hank's eyes with his tail until Shaw stepped out of the submarine, commanding him to stop. Azazel glared at Shaw as he went to attack Hank but he deflected it, the Azazel appeared behind Hank, who then punched him and knocking him unconscious.
