The couple proceeds throughout their vacation in Hawaii.  Though, when it is time to leave, something is peculiar.  They fly with the other members of Phantom's team, but into a different city than intended.

"Well, boys, you know what to do..."  Phantom said before turning to a confused Peter and Ava, "Suit up, we are going out for blood." Phantom finished with a slight chuckle.

The two turn to get their superhero suits but are stopped by Vandal.

"Not those suits.  These," he says pointing to 2 suits on a wall.

The two sheepishly put them on, only to slouch uncontrollably.

"Phantom, why are these so heavy?" asks an Armored White Spider.

"Because they are loaded with grenades," Phantom replies.  Everyone stares at him, "I'm joking.  It's made of an alloy stronger than Vibranium.  Plus, that's not heavy." 

Peter and Ava look at each other still slouching, "Then why are we slouching?" asks an Armored White Tiger angrily.

"The actual suit weighs 2 tons, I gave you both a lighter version of the armor" Phantom replies while glaring.  The plane's backdoor opens to reveal cities with skyscrapers reaching into space.

"Before you two do anything stupid, I will have to give a briefing..." Phantom says darkly.  His team laughs at the remark while Ava and Peter give a sigh.

"We are going to break into a vault containing a very important asset..." Phantom pauses staring at Ava and Peter, "I know you guys can do stealth, so you're with me in the break-in.  The rest will be a diversion." 

Phantom's team nod while Peter and Ava get used to their new armor.

"Well, time to go,"  Phantom says before jumping straight out followed by the other passengers.  Hornets are seen ready to engage while Phantom pulls out a burst assault rifle, shooting at a Hornet's cockpit killing the pilot while still gliding in the air.  More Hornets make their approach on the free-falling figures.

"Strike Two to Monarch.  I see 7 in the sky.  Status is 5 recognizable." echoes a pilot's voice on his communications network.

"Monarch to Strike Two.  Engage targets and impede break-in.  Over."

"Copy, weapons hot." replies the pilot revving up his vehicle mounted chaingun.

"Strike Three to Strike Two!  Strike One is down!  Repeat!  Strike One is---" the receiving pilot looks up to see the two other Hornets spinning out of control.  Realizing they are dead, he attempts revenge.

"Strike Two to Monarch!  Requesting immediate support!  Strike One and Three are down!  Repeat, Strike One and Three are down!"

Before further reinforcements, White Tiger and White Spider accidentally fire missiles blowing all 3 Hornets into heaps of burning metal.

Phantom levitated by them, "Nice shot.  Now to the objective."  They all land on the flat ground.

Still shaken by the events that have taken place, the couple proceeds until they are met by a sniper.  White Tiger is almost shot, but White Spider takes the bullet for her. On his knees, he is almost killed, if not for Phantom killing the sniper with a headshot.  Peter looks up at Ava with weak eyes while she is crying under the mask while gripping his hand tightly.

"Phantom to Warlord!  I need immediate evac!  One man down!" 

"Peter!" Ava shouts hurriedly as she can sense his pulse fading.
