The hijacked plane was an international flight.
However, it wasn't a large passenger plane, but rather a small one.
It had a total passenger capacity of 132 people, and the plane itself was only about thirty meters long.
The water slide Kevin created was built with his full effort, reaching a maximum height of one hundred meters, which was Kevin's limit.
As for its length, depending on Kevin's sustained ability and the plane's gliding time, it could be extended indefinitely.
Therefore, Kevin only needed to ensure that the water he controlled touched the plane's undercarriage, and he could almost guarantee that the plane would glide on the slide he created until it made a successful emergency landing.
However, this was easier said than done.
Firstly, Kevin needed to consider the plane's weight.
The more water he controlled, the greater its weight, and the lower Kevin's precision would be.
At the same time, the heavier the object supported by water, the more Kevin's control would deform due to the increased weight.
The plane's weight itself was not low, plus the weight of passengers and luggage on board, as well as the landing weight carried by the plane's diving momentum.
If Kevin wanted to completely prevent the plane from landing, the water he controlled needed to have the bearing capacity to withstand all of these weights.
At the very least, it needed to provide a buffer, otherwise, as soon as the plane touched the water Kevin controlled, its undercarriage would be directly smashed, and it might even disintegrate on the sea surface.
Just thinking about it made Kevin feel immense pressure.
But the greater the pressure, the more inexplicably excited Kevin became.
Who hasn't fantasized about becoming a hero when they were young, imagined themselves saving everyone alone?
Kevin had too, but growing up and the grind of society had made him lose those fantasies long ago.
But now, Kevin had the ability to realize his fantasies, to truly use his Supe abilities to do something he had wanted to do but couldn't before.
Anyone would feel excited about this.
And amidst this subtle anticipation and excitement, the water current Kevin controlled finally touched the plane's undercarriage.
...
"Everyone! Put on your oxygen masks! Assume crash positions!!"
Seeing the sea surface getting closer and closer, Maeve immediately shouted to the people on the plane.
Trusting Kevin was a gamble for Maeve; she didn't know if Kevin could truly catch the falling plane, but at this point, Maeve had no choice.
The plane was about to approach the sea, and all Maeve could do was trust Kevin.
Trust this little transparent who had never been prominent in The Seven before.
Bang!
As the plane was about to approach the sea, Maeve felt a violent impact.
Even as a Supe, on a plane where she couldn't maintain balance, Maeve was almost thrown out.
Feeling this, Maeve's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly looked outside through the window.
Then, Maeve saw that it seemed to be raining outside.
However, unlike normal falling raindrops, the 'rainwater' outside was moving from bottom to top, and as if possessing life, it adhered to the outside of the plane's cabin, connecting together to envelop the plane.
Water droplets merged with each other, forming larger 'water screens'.
The water screens connected, forming a huge net that completely enveloped the plane from bottom to top.
This... this is Kevin's ability?!
Maeve's pupils trembled slightly.
She had never heard that Kevin had the ability to control seawater, and she believed that not only she, but even Homelander would be shocked by this.
But after the surprise, a flame of hope ignited in Maeve's heart.
If Kevin could really control seawater, then the people on the plane might truly be saved!
Why is an emergency landing on the sea surface difficult after losing power? It's because under such a huge impact, the sea surface is actually no different from hard land.
Even because of the ocean waves, each rising and falling wave is equivalent to hills of varying sizes, so an emergency landing at sea is even more dangerous than on land!
But what if someone could control the waves?
If someone could turn the waves into a soft surface, or as Kevin said, into an extra-long slide that the plane could pass through, then the possibility of a successful emergency landing would greatly increase!
Maeve felt her heart pounding intensely at this moment.
She was as excited as she had been years ago when she first joined The Seven and saved others in front of the public for the first time.
However, just as Maeve harbored hope for Kevin, the plane suddenly tilted completely to one side.
Looking out the window, she saw that the wing on one side of the plane had inexplicably broken off completely in the middle. The broken wing caused the plane to lose balance, making it unable to descend steadily as it had initially.
The plane began to shake violently, and the luggage that had already fallen outside due to air turbulence now flew wildly inside the plane.
Some people were hit on the head by luggage and knocked unconscious, while others let out sharp screams, no longer even wearing their oxygen masks.
At this moment, the plane tilted again, completely losing balance, and plunged headfirst into the seawater.
...
It's over!
When he used water to touch the plane's undercarriage and tried to envelop the fuselage with water, Kevin knew that his previous thoughts were too simple.
The plane's descent speed was too fast; even with Homelander stabilizing its posture, it was diving diagonally in a gliding posture, and that speed still exceeded Kevin's reaction speed.
Kevin had just enveloped the plane with a water screen, and in less than a second, the plane was already about to touch the sea surface.
Kevin's previously conceived water slide plan was declared bankrupt before it even had a chance to be implemented.
Watching the plane about to make contact with the sea, Kevin didn't think much, clinging to the bottom of the plane, pointing one hand towards the sea ahead, and exerting his full power!
In this instant, the seawater parted to both sides, creating a path for the plane to pass through.
However, Kevin's speed in controlling the water flow was still slower than the plane's gliding speed.
He simply didn't have time to part a large enough area of seawater before the plane had already passed through the parted water.
The unparted seawater made contact with the wing, causing it to break off completely from its root, and the plane also lost balance due to the impact.
Homelander, who was responsible for maintaining balance, had already left the bottom of the plane and flown far into the sky to observe everything as soon as the plane touched the sea surface.
Therefore, now only Kevin himself was responsible for maintaining the plane's balance.
The plane's speed had slowed down, but it was still over two hundred kilometers per hour.
Seeing this, Kevin gritted his teeth, diverted some of his energy, and while parting the seawater, also formed a barrier net in front of the plane.
After passing through the first barrier net, the plane's speed slowed down a bit.
After passing through the second layer, the plane tilted to one side, but its speed became even slower.
By the time it passed through the third layer, even if the plane plunged directly into the seawater, it would basically not disintegrate.
It was at this moment that Kevin completely released his control over the seawater, allowing the inherent impact and pressure of the seawater to completely stop the plane.
"Sto-stopped?"
His heart was pounding fast, and Kevin felt his hands trembling. He floated in the sea, not wanting to move even a single finger.
Although Kevin had already rehearsed this before, including the cleanup work for a failed rescue, he had already made plans.
But when he truly saved an entire plane full of people, he still felt somewhat dazed, finding it hard to imagine that he had actually accomplished something that seemed utterly impossible.
After floating in the sea for a while, Kevin finally paid attention to the plane's condition.
The plane was now completely submerged in seawater, with surging seawater pouring into the cabin through various openings, and it looked like it wouldn't be long before the entire cabin was filled.
If it were another Supe, they might be completely helpless in the current situation, only able to watch as the passengers on the plane were swallowed by the seawater and all drowned.
Fortunately, it was Kevin who came here, and fortunately, he had the ability to control seawater.
When the plane completely stopped and was submerged under the water, Kevin, before the seawater had completely rushed into the cabin, controlled the water flow to lift the plane out of the water.
The seawater above parted, and the water that had originally poured into the cabin also flowed out under Kevin's control.
In less than ten seconds, Kevin successfully lifted the slowly sinking plane onto the sea surface, allowing it to float.
Once everything stabilized, Kevin entered the cabin through the damaged door on the plane and shouted into the cabin:
"Hey! Is everyone alright?! Is anyone able to speak?"
"Al-alright!"
"We... we survived?"
"Oh my god, it's Kevin! It's Kevin!! Kevin saved us!!"
Scattered voices rose, and some people who had withstood the impact of the fall and hadn't fainted, hugged each other, cheering with joy and tears.
"We survived!! We survived!!! Oh my god, we survived...Woohoo..."
The cabin filled with the excited cries and sobs of the survivors.
Maeve, slumped on the ground, listened to these vibrant voices, a relaxed smile spreading across her face.
Her smile this time was genuine, without a hint of falseness.
