Mithias tumbled downward, his heart racing, if he had one. Wind rushed by and as hopeless as it seemed, that quiet part of him deep within that wanted to continue to exist refused to accept defeat. ...It wasn't hopeless.

Meters before breaking the surface of dark blue ocean, Mithias stopped. Yes, he stopped, mid-air with arms out, face-first, looking at the water below him. He paused for a moment, sensing the alien life slithering in the dark depths, then he floated up to a more normal position. He had had telekinesis the whole time, and of course he could lift himself. 

Looking back, he didn't see any sign of Alucard. That was so very strange. Alucard had seemed uncharacteristically sad for what he was about to do. Mithias actually didn't want to have to kill him. Mtihais hovered above the water for a moment contemplating what the hell had just happened and what the hell he was going to do about it. In any case, the tyranids would have to be dealt with first, and Kaldor Draigo seemed to have been most effective at that, at least, when it came to not simply blowing up the entire zone. It seemed the Imperium wasn't at fault for the invasion after all. Had they meant it when they offered to shelter the others behind their walls? The vampire sighed and ran a hand through his long black hair. The wisest move right now was to inform them first, then he could attempt to educate the other factions. The Alliance would be second, then the Outliers. Hell knows, the Gou-ald would probably just blow up the...

Suddenly, the water below Mithias turned jet black and opened up like a sinkhole in the blink of an eye. With a rush and a crashing splash a 100-meter long, mutated monster shark with faces on its sides and tentacles for fins launched its open-mouthed face directly at the vampire. Reflexes jolting into action like lightning, Mithias shot upward, narrowly evading the surprise attack. He screamed in horror as he did this completely fumbling for... weapons, fucking... anything! Fucking hell! 

The nightmare fell back down into the water like a humpback after a breach, and Mithias could swear he saw a grin of white teeth aside its head. He didn't need any further encouragement to get moving, and began telekinetically flying as fast as he could.

Shortly later, Mithias finds himself entering the Empire's territory.
