USS VIRGINIA

Isabella was calmly looking at the screen; there was no one or anything that could stop her now. Then the sonar started making noises, as if a missile or missiles were coming their way.

Almost two hundred objects were moving fast faster than any torpedo. They all prepared for impact. But there was none, instead they heard banging outside on the hull.

Yorkars! She thought. Protectors of miserable humankind. What we she had done with that army by her side. She would have to be there at that moment. She would have taken over the world first then free Tusuer to fulfill the prophecy.

They were about five to six hundred feet from what it looked like a mountain under the water. She got on the periscope and she looked at different spots on the underwater mountain. Angels floating around and moving fast all over the submarine. Damn giants!.

"Captain, sonic gun, two hertz. Get it ready NOW! They are destroying us" Isabella ordered.

The alarms went off loudly, and the interior control room light changed to red.

"Signora" said an officer "the engine room is starting to flood, the hull has been banged and they've made hole, water is pouring in"

"Seal the area, seal it, we are not done here!" she didn't care for the crew in the engine room. The process of sealing and locking began when the officer pressed a button.

She changed the lens on the periscope from normal to thermal and saw a weak blue light inside the mountain. She aimed the sonic gun to that spot and the light diminished from weak to nothing. She aimed the laser sight where she had seen the light before.

"Captain, fire charges to the mark place with the laser. Time them to four minutes after impact. Then turn around and let's get out of here as fast as we can" she ordered the captain.

The captain repeated her order to the torpedo room over the speakers. His forehead was sweating, his body was shaking. Even his objective in life was to serve the Descendants cause and himself being one, he did not want to end like this, either way it could happen, the Angels outside did not stop banging the hull or the explosion could kill them all.

Isabella saw the charges being shot moving fast to the mountain, no Angel could stop them.

Two Angels floated in front of the periscope view, they were different than the rest. It was them, Aekhem and the female Angel. The look in their eyes made Isabella step back from the periscope for a second, she felt a chill in her back. She took the periscope again and saw the female Angel's long middle finger in front of her, then darkness.

The alarms kept going off, she felt the submarine turning around one hundred and eighty degrees and increase its speed. The banging did not stop, louder and louder. They were practically peeling off the submarines sheets of metal one by one.

Isabella yelled again:

"Release the immediate explosion charges Captain!"

The russian turned to her and she said:

"DO IT" she snapped.

The captain gave the order and explosions outside started and with them the submarine moving from one side to the other, water started coming in from all over.

Outside, Aekhem saw the charges being dropped and a trail of explosions began following the submarine that was moving away fast.

There was nothing they could do now. Explosives were shot to the prison. Too many charges, he hoped for the charges to destroy the prison from the top down and maybe Tusuer would be buried forever, but he could not wait there to see it.

He had to get as many Angels as he could away from there.

Garktold went to him and Abigael and made him a sign to go up. Some Angels were being killed as the submarines trail of bombs started exploding.

The Angels near the prison as soon as they saw the charges land on the mountain started moving away as fast as they could.

The explosion was a great ball of fire inside the water about nine hundred feet from them, they knew it, they didn't have time to reach the surface, there was nowhere to hide from it or take cover.

Aekhem turned to Abigael, her eyes full of terror, allhe could do was to hold her against his body, he put his wings around them bothand closed his eyes. His back towards the explosion. The explosion wave hitthem and send them off with all its strength tothe opposite direction.1J����
