Maria sullivan's mystic sword was known as blade number 12 the King of the sea Neptune its gift was to have control over all matter of water liquid and moister, and as you can put it together the slum kids were on a boat they were in Maria's domain. As Tone was driving the speed boat still trying to make a daring escape he was startled when he felt the boat shake, it was as if they were experiencing an earthquake but everyone on the boat knew they weren't on solid ground they were in the middle of the sea, but the water beneath them rumbled louder than any thunderstorm each passing second the boat shook with more and more fury Coco the pink haired girl who was the only one standing in the boat besides Porsche before her accident couldn't keep her balance.

Since she wasn't strapped down with any seatbelt she felt as if she was being forced to bounce around but she wasn't the only one in this situation Porsche who was still laying on the boats floor bleeding from her leg wound because of the shard of ice still pierced through it, the constant rumbling didn't help her situation each rumble each shake made her cry out in pain Coco seeing this felt sad and she didn't know why before today she never had spoken to Porsche well technically she didn't speak to Porsche at all as her Porsche and Roach went around stealing throughout the few mansions they could hit while still on the mainland, Porsche only barked orders telling her and Roach what to and what not to steal Coco didn't know Porsche and vice versa, but seeing her laying there injured in pain and probably afraid it filled Coco with sadness and pity she wanted to help her, she wanted to help her just like she knew that she should have helped Jake as he fought for his life for all of their freedom. But she didn't or more like couldn't because she didn't know what she could do and looking at Porsche she still didn't know what to do, she didn't know how it was possible to help but she had to try as they both laid there being jostled by the rumbles Coco reached out the Porsche and grabbed her hand squeezing it tight, and in turn Porsche squeezed her hand just as tight this was all she could do for her all Coco could do was attempt to comfort her.

Tone still attempted to drive but it was damn near impossible because he couldn't get his bearings, and he would lose them completely as he felt a strange situation occur, they all felt it a first they could feel themselves being rocketed upwards the sheer speed and force felt as if it was trying to squash them with pressure, then as soon as it began it stopped everything stopped there was no more rumbling but the situation for the kids on the boat had changed their predicament had got a lot worst for them, using her weapon Neptune Maria was able to shoot up a water spout that towered in the night sky keeping the boat and its inhabitants from going anywhere. This action allowed her brother Nefertari to catch up to their location and as he did he used Neptune's twin brother his on weapon Glacious to freezes the water spout in place by plunging his harpoon into the tower of water, the water spout Maria had erupted had been turned into an ice sculpture it looked like a great frozen oak tree in the middle of the ocean, the boat stuck at the top was now a birds nest and the slum kids were new born chicks that were way in over the heads.

"Were dead!"

Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

Tone said out loud not caring if he killed the moral of the others he knew they thought the same as he did, as he said those words of defeat laying back in his seat, back on the water's surface Nefertari was freezing water back towards the direction of the port he froze a make shift road with this icy road the others could make their ways to the boat, and with the road they could drag all the thieves back well that was the plan any way before any of the Sullivans still on the port could take a single step on the frozen road a sound was heard from far away it was a high pitched screech. At first it was so far away so faint that not all of them heard it and those that did thought it was just their own imagination, but the screech was heard again this time getting louder and closer everyone heard it this time from the Sullivans to the kids on the boat it sounded familiar as they heard a third screech they could decipher the sound, it was a birds cry and they were correct out of the dark sky as if it had emerged from the shadows a large bird perched itself on top of the frozen water spout. When I say the bird was large and mean it was huge it was bigger than any average animal and bigger than any human, the giant bird that was sitting on top of the frozen water as if it was a tree branch was classified as a behemoth, an animal that had evolved because of the actions of the great blacksmith when it landed the bird let out another loud screech it was so close to everyone in fact that its cry were deafening it spread its massive wings they seemed so large and wide that they covered the sky and the giant beast began to flap its wings. The force of the flapping was so strong it cracked the ice not only that it sent Nefertari flying who was still at the bottom of the frozen sculpture as he was sent flying all the young man couldn't help but say.

"Shit."

It was all he could get out as the bird was starting to take flight, but as it did the bird had the boat secured with in its talons, the boat was the target Nefertari thought.

"Shit Maria!!"

He screamed an irritated.

"I know."

Was the young woman's response she spun Neptune with fury and like before the water responded what seemed like hundreds of tendrils were formed by the water these water tendrils raced towards the giant bird to capture it, but despite its size the bird was quick it evaded each one as it tried making an escape as Nefertari finally landed freezing water underneath him he tried to assist his sister by doing his ice missile attack but at maximum output, thousands of ice shards flew through the sky but unlike before none hit their target the behemoth managed to evade all attacks then escape disappearing back into the night sky.

"They came out of nowhere."

A middle-aged woman said on the port.

"No."

Nolan answered.

"That was no coincidence, nor was it random."

And he was correct even though it was dark, and he was farther way from the bird then Nefertari Nolan Sullivan was positive he saw someone sitting on top of the bird's giant head, he couldn't make out details, but he was sure he saw a figure and he knew that figure was controlling that bird's actions.

"Yes, yes this wasn't random at all behemoths unless because of extreme circumstances don't leave the badlands, someone tamed that beast."

He started rumbling his chin.

"And that someone was connected to those thieves this was a very organized affair."

On this night the heist to rob the Sullivan was a success they were able to steal six out of ten swords stored in their armory, plus bonus things that were swiped yet the success came with so much pain they made their escape with the only a single casualty and only a single sacrifice, the maid Gilda who was executed and Jake who was now captured by the Sullivan family.
