Summary

  Note: this is part of the Phalanx Covenant crossover.

  The Phalanx has Blink; the others convince her to push past her fear, and use her power to instantaneously slice it in pieces, then M punches it apart. But Harvest arrives with reinforcements.

  Sean and Everett scuba-dive to the ship; Frost takes Jubilee aboard, and they find T-O rats, which Jubilee blasts apart.

  The Phalanx corner the children, but Sabretooth comes to their rescue and starts slashing. Harvest reassimilates the parts, but Sean arrives and blasts it apart, then thanks Sabretooth, who claims he just wanted to eat the children.

  Paige introduces herself; Sabretooth sniffs and then slashes her, to everyone's horror. But she sheds her skin with its T-O infection, revealing a metal body underneath.

  Then Harvest reassembles. Sabretooth and Sean attack, while Frost rounds up the children. Clarice realizes they have to stop the Phalanx here, or it will just keep coming, so she goes alone and slices it, the ship, and herself apart. Sean tries to grab her hand but loses her and falls into the water.
