Al was hovering above the water. The instinctive fear of water was strange and new to him, and he could only guess it had something about the Vitus experiments and his fire powers. He was stumbling in the air constantly since he had no idea how to control his new found flight abilities. Whatever Lexi was doing had to get them out of here fast..

Suddenly something slammed into him out of nowhere, knocking him straight out of the sky. Whatever had tackled him sunk its teeth into his shoulder, as they both plummeted into the hallway. Pain shot through his already sore arm and he could feel the blood leaking down his arm as his attacker continued to dig its teeth into his left shoulder. There were still surviving Vitus on the ship? Since when did they start biting people? That really didn't matter right now, because if he didn't get it off of him soon it would take off his entire arm. "Get...the hell.. OFF OF ME!" His entire right arm burst into flames burning his attackers mouth, and it jumped off him shrieking and screeching in pain. Now that he was free from his assailant's weight Al could finally get a look at his attacker.

He clutched his wounded shoulder with his right hand, and set his left hand aflame. "Did that hurt you overgrown dust mop? Come try and get another taste!"
