Chris sat down as Ryan continued to the business class and did just as he instructed Ryan. He buckled his seat belt, closed his eyes and began meditating. He meditated until the seat belt light had turned off, and at that moment he unbuckled himself and stood up. He began walking towards the front of the plane at a normal pace when three other men also stood up. The man in the first row stood there waiting for the other two as Chris walked past him. Chris stopped just before the entrance to the first class and turned around. The three men were now facing him only a few steps away and they stopped wondering what this kid was doing.
They didn't have to wonder for long though because Chris opened his mouth and spoke to them. "That's as far as you three are going." At the same time they all heard some fighting going on in the business class. The three men glanced backwards and Chris said, "And your two friends aren't going to be joining you." A look of surprise and anger came across their faces as they all rushed towards Chris, pulling their knives out.
Using the Force Chris pulled the knife out of one man's hand as he was pulling it out of his pocket. The man stopped running with a look of surprise on his face as he saw his knife fly right into Chris' hand. The other two, however, thrust their knives at Chris. One slashed diagonally down intending to cut across his chest, while the other thrust his knife forward towards Chris' heart. Chris, however, dropped down on his back, grabbing the arm of the man thrusting his knife forward, and pulling it down into the path of the slashing knife. Blood dripped from his arm as he received a gash across his forearm from his companion. He shouted, but did not drop his knife.
Lying on his back, Chris swept his feet behind the man who had just cut his friend. Trying to keep his balance ha grabbed his friends shoulder and the two of them stumbled backwards, but were caught by their unarmed friend. Chris sat up, slipped his shoes off of his feet and grabbed them as he stood up. The three men advanced towards Chris who now had his hands in his shoes, protecting his hands and forearms from their small knives. One of them slashed his knife vertically at Chris' chest, but Chris blocked it with the shoe on his left hand and at the same time swung his right hand, slapping the man across the side of the head with his right shoe. While he was doing this the other man with a knife thrust his knife at the right side of Chris' rib cage, but Chris continued rotating from his swing to the man's face and the knife went right between his right arm and the side of his body. Chris used his momentum from the rotation to kick the unarmed man in the side of the head, making him fall to the ground. Chris was now on the other side of the three men, and the man that had just thrust his knife at him decided to take this opportunity to try to rush into the cockpit.
He started running, but Chris threw the shoe that had been on his right hand at the soft spot on the back of the man's head where it connected to his neck. He fell down unconscious, while the unarmed man scrambled across the floor grabbing the knife that Chris had left on the ground when he grabbed his shoes as well as the knife of his unconscious companion. He advanced towards Chris, slashing furiously with both knifes in every direction, trying to make sure he couldn't dodge both knives. Chris, however, backed away, dodging slashes here and there, while blocking a few with the shoe still on his left hand.
The other man, taking advantage of Chris being distracted by the furious attack of his friend, threw his knife past his friend at Chris' chest. Chris however spun around, catching the knife in his right hand as it flew past him and bringing the knife to block one slash while his shoe blocked the other in such away that the blade stuck into the shoe and with the twist of his wrist Chris pulled the knife out of his hand. Backing away again, Chris dropped the knife in his right hand and used the now free hand to pull the knife out of his shoe. He blocked another slash with his shoe and with the knife still in his right hand, punched the man in the nose. Dizzy from the blow, the man fell backwards into his friend who had run forward after throwing the knife. He grabbed the knife from his now unconscious friend's hand, but before as he lifted his head to look at his opponent all he saw was the sole of a shoe and then blackness.
Chris gathered all the knives from the unconscious men and from the ground and walked to the front of the plane as a flight attendant was bringing the first officer back. Chris handed him the knives and began explaining what had happened when Ryan came running in. "There are two more back there," he said. "The other passengers are holding them while I get somebody from up front to take care of them."
"Let's get these guys tied up," the first officer said. "Then we can take care of the others back there." He turned to the flight attendant that had brought him back. "Go find some rope so that we can tie them up." She ran off and was back with rope a minute later. After tying the three unconscious men up, they went back to the business class where sure enough five passengers were working together to hold the still struggling terrorists.
After all five terrorists were tied up Chris turned to the first officer. "Can you do me a favor?" Chris asked him.
"What's that?" the officer asked.
"I think that United Airlines Flight 93 might have terrorists on it, too. I thought I heard one of them say something about that. Can you find out if everything is okay with that flight, and if it is warn them that there might be terrorists trying to hijack the flight?"
"We'll check on it," the officer said. "In the mean time you just sit back in your seats."
"Thanks," Chris said and started walking back towards his seat in first class.
After waiting in his seat for a few minutes the captains voice came over the intercom. "We will be making an unscheduled stop in Cincinnati. We will be beginning our descent in just a few minutes and would ask everybody to return to their seats, put your seats in the upright position, and fasten your seatbelts until we have landed and have announced that you may undo your seatbelts."
