Assassination attempt.

The moment the Emperor rank Serpent showed its intentions of killing them, Ebony and Ivory transformed into their Haiti and Skoll form and jumped out of the boat.

The wild waves around them which had returned to being wild, became calm and solid allowing both of them to stand on the water.

Grrrr!

Both wolves growled causing the emperor-ranked Sea serpent to halt and take a good look at them. 

'Is there a psychological battle that is going on without us knowing?'

The Ash Corps were both afraid and confused as both parties stared at each other for a good minute without doing anything.

"I shall give both of you face." The Sea serpent said to Ebony and Ivory, before turning to Blake who summoned them.
