From DEEP DIVE #2: SILDA THE ELECTRIC EELThe predator burst into the cavern, followed by its two friends. Their gray, muscular gray bodies were lined with scars and stubby fins. Six hungry yellow eyes followed Max and Lia. The Ssnapperfish opened their jaws to reveal rows of teeth like needles. They'd tear my head off in a heartbeat, Max realized. Spike burst through the water, shielding Max and Lia with his body, and swishing his nose-sword from side to side. The snapperfish watched him, their ugly bodies still. Spike darted right at toward the center of the group. The snapperfish scattered, then countered. One clamped its teeth over Spike's tail, and another grabbed his jutting sword. Spike writhed, but couldn't shake free. The remaining snapper moved in and his jaws closed over Spike's back. "No!" shouted Lia. The swordfish twisted in pain. Max had no weapon. He had left his hyperblade behind, stowed on his aquabike. And if he didn't do something soon, Spike was finished.
