Chapter 10 Attack at Bondi Beach.

Dr. Chase was swimming as fast as he could go and was a little way from the boat but the monster was gaining up on him. Dr. Chase had swam faster, faster, and faster. But the monster was so close that it could have reached out it's hand and grabbed him. Instead, it swam a little down And launched itself out of the water breaking the surface.

About to pounce. It's webbed hands were inches from his head. And its teeth were just about to dig into his skin and feast upon his flesh. Until I leap out of the water. Attacking it and dragging it back down into the depths.

Giving, Alex's dad the chance to make it back to the boat. I pulled this thing further down, down, down. It was not happy that I interrupted it's meal. As it  turned its attention to me. Did that make you mad? I asked it.

It responded by letting a loud hissing. Good. Because I am going to make you really mad.  Aqua! Alex called out. Keep it distracted. I'm going for the harpoon. Please don't hurry. I want to show this thing who's waters these are. Johnny. Scott. Watch her back.

Alex along with my two sharks swam back to the boat fast. The creature was about to go after them until. Hold it. I grab it's foot and toss it to the ground. Where do you think you're going? I'm just getting started.

We both swam charging each other about to engage in a bloody battle literally. I was going to make this thing bleed. Alex had made it back to the boat calling out. I need the harpoon. Alex. Dad. Are you alright? I'm fine. Thanks to, Aqua. Alex, why do you need the Harpoon? Because, Aqua is down there fighting that thing with her bare hands.

We need it now. Here. Frank gave her the harpoon and Alex Dove back down into the water. And saw fast back to me. Meanwhile, I pounded it and even rocked at it slamming it through two large rocks while it tried to take a bit out of me. It tried to bite into my arm but when it did, the armor pads caused it to break some of it's teeth.

Crikey. These pads do work. Thank you, Frank. This thing was not happy about that. It was about to attack but Johnny and Scott arrived to help me out and swimming in from behind. Aqua. I got it. Give it here.

I told her. I got this. She responded. Give me the Harpoon! I shouted. I can do this! Don't. But she did. Alex had tossed that pointy stick. It went zipping right by me and Boom! It hit that thing right in it's left shoulder. I did it.

As soon as that tip had broken it's skin the poison on the tip would have caused it to start feeling the effects right away. It started to panic at first but somehow it managed to pull it out of it's skin like it was nothing. And that made it really angry as it let out a loud roar and tossed the harpoon right back at Alex.

Causing it to not only cut a hole in her suit but also causing a cut in her skin which caused some of her blood to be released into the water and when this thing had gotten the scent it was going after her like a hungry vampire. Oh, no. Get back to the boat now.

Alex, started to make her way back to the boat while me and the sharks tried to hold this thing off. But, Alex needed to hurry back even faster because when the harpoon hit her it also had cut the tub that was connected to her air tank.

Which meant that she was losing air and at a fast paste. My sharks had managed to cut into it and sink their teeth into it as well. As they attacked it and I was slicing into it with the harpoon but this thing acted like it didn't even feel it. But it was making it angry.

And it had enough. All it wanted was it's dinner and it was getting away. So, It grabbed both Johnny and Scott and tossed them away like tennis balls. And then it grabbed me and forced me down and by using it's strength had broken the helmet that I was wearing and as I hurried to take it off.
