Lucas/Tristan's pov
A few days had passed, with radio silence from our foe. If that was a blessing or a curse we had yet to find out. I was just hoping whatever Riker had in mind, if he did, that he would inflict it on me; sparing my friends; but most importantly, my Marina. We were only six months away from our wedding day; and I could hardly wait. We were currently a few hours away, on a school field trip to the beach
My thoughts were interrupted by a feeling of shock going through my body, making my Marina's screams sound as though they had been muffled by the very sea waters we call home. I then heard maniacal laughter; and Riker's voice
"I ran your body through with a stingray stinger. You know, you're bleeding pretty bad, you can hardly walk. And I can see Marina trying to use her mermaid magic, but it is being overruled by my own tricks."
I could tell he was taking me somewhere, and that he had paralyzed them all in place temporarily. I really was suffering from blood loss, becoming dangerously woozy. He went on, as I lay limp and defenseless in his arms
"Now, I trained my sharks to find you and end you; and the fact that they can catch the scent of your blood can only help!"
And with that I blacked out just as I hit the water.
