Chapter 7: The Beach
Christina's POV
Everyone boarded the large jet, I sat down in between Raven and Sean. Raven twitched uncomfortably in her seat, flying wasn't something she was comfortable with. The plane rose off the ground and into the air. I squeezed Raven's hand letting her know she was there, Raven smiled at her grateful for it.
"How long till we get there," I asked.
"Not long but I suggest you hang on," Beast replied, moving the speed
The plane lurched forward going into hyper speed, everyone had to contain themselves before possibly puking. After 30 minutes we were coming up to the coast,
"The crew of the Aral Sea is dead Shaw's been there. They've set course for the embargo line," Charles said his face dropping.
"That boat crosses the line our boys are gonna blow it up," Moira said a grim look on her face
"Unless they're not our boys," Charles said closing his eyes focusing once more. Suddenly, alarms began blaring in the plane jerking it to avoid a missile.
"A little warning next time," Theresa scowled.
"Anything strange on radar," Beast asked.
"No nothing," Moira said flicking switches trying to find something.
"Well he must be underwater and obviously we don't have sonar," Beast sighed, letting out an exasperated sigh.
Sean's head picked up realization coming up,
"Yes we do," he said, his face pure seriousness which was a surprise to everyone.
Sean, Charles, and Erik unhooked themselves from the seat, lowering the hanger. Sean prepared himself to jump, out of the corner of his eye he saw Erik coming.
"Woah you back right off," Sean pointing an accusing finger at him, Erik put his hands up.
"Remember," Charles shouted putting his hand on Sean's throat, "This is a muscle you control it," he finished.
Charles began the count down; Sean jumped though the hanger falling through the air. He let out a supersonic scream pushing him up into the air before diving into the sea. He looked around in the water, letting out another scream the pulse of his scream ran through the water locking onto the subs coordinates.
"Banshee's got a location on Shaw," Charles said with his fingers to his temple.
Erik moved ready to lower himself onto the wheel.
"You ready for this," Charles asked.
"Let's find out," Erik said, he climbed down holding on to steady himself.
Charles projected where the sub was. Suddenly the water began to churn revealing the propellers of a submarine. The sub began to rise out of the water and up into the air.
The top latch of the sub popped open revealing two figures climbing out,
"It's Riptide and Jason,"Theresa said.
I watched in horror as two tornadoes appeared heading for the plane. The plane lurched violently tossing me back, I grabbed onto the net on the ground, its official I hated flying. Raven screamed in panic, as the plane began to violently shake, Vanessa tried to calm her down.
Suddenly, a part of the ceiling of the plane was ripped off, a rush of wind caused things to begin to fly in plane escaping through the hole. The wind wiped at my hair hitting me in the face, I kept a tight grip on the net the only thing keeping me on the plane. Jason hovered above the opening,
"Theresa you know it didn't have to end this way," Jason said lowering himself inside the plane.
"YOU STAY AWAY FROM HER,"I yelled.
She yelped when the net ripped itself from the floor, Theresa slid as the plane dipped down. Raven cried out in panic reaching her hand for Theresa's to grab onto, her hand missed.
"THERESA NO," Raven screamed.
"THERESA," Erik's voice boomed as he held him and Charles down using his magnetism as the plane tossed.
Theresa screamed as Jason latched down on her leg throwing her through the hole,her body hurled through the air. Jason saw the plane was about to crash, he jumped through the opening before the plane reached the ground. The plane landed onto an island beach, Shaw's sub also crashed onto it. Erik let go of his hold of the plane, he groaned as Charles weight pressed upon him as they fell back.
"Is everyone alright," Charles said after getting himself off of Erik.
Sean let out a strangled "yes" getting out of his seat; Vanessa helped Raven out of her seat. I struggled with my seat; the belt was squeezing my body tightly. Charles ran over to me getting me out, I sucked in a breath the seat belt was constricting my flow of air.
"Theresa oh God," I gasped.
"She's fine," Charles said, raising a hand to his temple.
"I'm going in," Erik said.
"Beast, Havok, and Vanessa you three back him up," Charles said.
They all nodded ready to face the others; they headed out of the plane and heard the familiar fluttering of wings. Angel flew above them firing acid balls at them. Vanessa shot bolts of lighting towards angel who dodge each of them.
Riptide and Azazeal excited the sub, Riptide summoned up two tornadoes sending it to us. I prepared to go flying in the air but nothing happened. A girl with jet black hair and looked awfully a lot like Theresa appeared out of nowhere smirked and raised her hand up dissipating the tornadoes, Riptide was caught off guard and so was I. Who is she?
She quickly sent shots of fire at him, one of them hitting him on the arm. He patted his arm trying to put the fire out, Alex shot out a plasma ray knocking Riptide unconscious. In a flash, Azazeal was by them wrapping his tail around Alex's neck, Hank lunged at him and both Alex and Hank disappeared in a puff of smoke.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"I'm Alissa, Theresa's sister," She stated.
Theresa's POV
I felt like my body weighed a ton of bricks, as I pulled myself onto shore. I coughed up the salty sea water that was in my lungs. I got to my feet looking around I saw Shaw's submarine had crashed along with the plane, Riptide was unconscious, Christina, Vanessa, and a girl with jet black hair like mine stood by him. I stood up.
"Christina who is that?" I asked holding my side.
The girl turned around and my knees almost buckled.
"Alissa?" I gasped.
I ran to her and we hugged each other tightly.
"How are you here?" I asked.
"I teleported,"Alissa replied.
"I know you two have much catching up to do but we more important things to worry about," Christina said.
"Right. Is everyone alright?" I asked
"Yea- oof," Vanessa said but she was thrown back by an invisible force.
I turned to see Jason charging, I sent my shadow at him knocking him to the ground. I sent a sharp kick to his ribs, grabbing my leg he tossed me over onto the ground. I struggled against him, he punched me in the face. Grasping the cool blade in my sleeve, I punch him cutting him in the face, with a kick to his manhood he toppled over. I jumped kicking him in the face, and Christina instructing him to go to sleep.
"Should we go in there?" I asked.
"Probably not," Christina replied.
"Oh my God. Look up," Vanessa said.
I looked up to see Shaw's floating corpse it hung in the air before Erik dropped it with a sickening crunch.
"It's over," Erik stated.
Christina put her fingers on her temple and her face dropped I looked at Charles and his face suddenly dropped too.
"Christina, Charles what's wrong?" Raven asked.
"The ships their-" Charles and Christina said in unison
"Aiming their guns at us," Erik finished for them.
Everyone turned their attention to the ships , Moira ran to the plane trying to find a way to tell them to stop.
"They will never accept us. After we just saved the world from nuclear war," Vanessa said.
"They think were Shaw," Charles said.
I watched in horror as missiles were fired at us by both the Russians and Americans, Christina pulled up a force field it surround us spreading further. The missiles crashed against the force field, Christina dropped to her knees exhausted.
"We need to leave," Charles said helping Christina up to her feet.
We all locked hands with each other, Charles letting Azazeal know where to go. Before I could blink we stood outside the estate, Charles wiped Riptide, Azazeal, and Kenneth's mind clean about us and this place.
"Well it seems we have a lot to talk about then," Alissa said.
"Yes, we do," I replied smiling.
