MAGGIE'S HEART BEATS ERATICALLY INSIDE HER RIBCAGE, ALMOST LIKE IT IS TRYING TO BURST FREE FROM HER BODY, nerves are infiltrating her senses as she watches Angel lift herself up in the sky as Riptide started to create another powerful surge of wind, but before it could grow the become a whirlwind, Alex had already blasted the dark haired man back with his own energy blast.

Instinctively, Maggie raised her arm just as Azazel popped up behind them, ready to strike Alex down but before he could, water encased his arm, before it froze around him making it impossible to move as she bawled her fist, knuckles turning a pale white colour from the sheer force. The red tinted man grunted, face contorting angrily as his tale swiped upwards and around her throat.

Immediately her hold on the water ceased as she started to tug on the tale around her neck that was closing off her airway. Both Alex and Hank latched onto her to try and free her but the mutant had other plans as he teleported them up in the air above the sea. The three X-men shouted loudly as they fell down from the sky, Azazel just above them as he had let go of them. But the Beast had other plans in mind than falling to their dead as he dug his claws in Azazel's skin. "If we go, you go!" He shouted over the wind.

Maggie was already trying to stop herself from wildly moving about in the air as the navel fleet ship came closer to them to focus on the water and hopefully softening their landing, but it appeared that the red tinted mutant was far more fearful of plummeting down than he was of taking the three mutants with him to safety as the roughly landed on the ships floor.

The brunette gritted her teeth as the fight commenced again and she raised her arms high up in the air, concentrating all her powers on the water that surrounded the ship as Hank and Alex fought Azazel with everything they had. "Boys!" Maggie called out as a large wave began to form, its shadow appearing on the metal floor as it blocked out the sun, "You better hold on to something."

With those words spoken, Maggie froze her own feet to the floor and in one swift downward motion she let the salty ocean water crash down on them with great force. For a moment all she could see was the water that surrounded her before she spread her arms out forcefully, separating the wave into to that pushed Azazel from the side of the ship and into the freezing cold ocean waters alongside a lot of other American soldiers on the ship.

The brunette blinked as slowly all the water disappeared again, yellow suit wet and hair stuck against her forehead.  "A little warning next time maybe?" Alex called out from where he and Hank were a tangled mess of limbs, the blue giant of a man holding Alex with one arm while his other was holding onto the railing for dear life.
