"Woah!" Beth held onto a wall to stead herself as she felt the yacht tremble.
"What the hell was that?" Derek asked also steadying himself with a nearby wall.
Steve paled. He knew that tremor could only mean one thing. "They're close."
Johnny's eyes widened. He ran to the side of the ship as saw smoke rising in the distance. Doctor Jordan wasn't wrong; his mom and Erica were close. Closer than anyone would have liked. "Shit! We're out of time!"
"Beth, can you get this ship moving?" Steve asked.
The blonde mock saluted. "I'm on it!"
"I'll keep trying to rig the power!" Derek blurted out before running back below deck.
Debbie was all alone now with Johnny. "Would do we do, Mrs. J?"
She looked to the frightened teen and back toward the rising smoke. She steeled her resolve and answered earnestly. "We fight!"

Meanwhile, Erica and Sara continued to mix it up. Neither one had been able to put the other away and it was starting to grate on their nerves.
"What's it going to take to keep you down?!" Sara snapped.
"More than you got!" Erica growled viciously.
The two were deadlocked in a wrestling match that saw them inching ever closer towards the harbor. They'd already cut a destructive path through the city so why not change the venue and take their epic clash to the sea.
The mad giantess caught the Asian beauty in the nose with a fist.
Sara caught Erica in the side with a knee.
They were each jockeying for position before eventually throwing each other to the ground.
The clash of titans had devolved into a stereotypical catfight with each woman clawing and tugging on the other's hair. They were quite literally rolling on the ground and bulldozing anything in their way.

Beth finally got the engines up and running and was pleased to see her father's yacht moving further away from the harbor and the destruction the giants caused to the city.
"Great work, Beth. We should be far enough away soon to execute the plan." Steve sighed.
She looked at her mentor seated by the window and noted just how tired he looked. This day had worn on him just as it had her and her tried to keep up a strong front for everyone despite how clearly exhausted, he was.
"Did you mean what you said earlier?" She asked.
"About making sure this technology doesn't fall into the wrong hands." Steve responded. "Yes, I did. It's simply too dangerous and after today I know I'm making the right choice."
The blonde pursed her lips. "What'll happen if you shut the project down?"
"I don't know." He openly admitted. "I'll be lucky if I don't hang after this."
Silence...
