The eyes that looked back at Aviva were not the brown eyes of Chris. No, they belonged to something much different. They belonged to a Devil.
"Chris?" The quiet voice of Aviva shot through the darkness of the Tortuga.
"Chris, can you hear me?" The only sound that greeted her was that of a monster; snarling and growling from behind the mask of a close friend.
Aviva looked pleadingly into the eyes of the monster,-with tears in her eyes- silently beseeching the devil to release her friend. Instead, all she got was another bag tossed down into the main chamber of the HQ, accompanied by the harsh laughter that only Donita could give.
A groan escaped the large brown bag that had just been unceremoniously placed in the void. Slowly, Aviva took her notice off the wild looking Kratt, and turned her attention to the new arrival. As she opened the bag, Aviva came to the realization that there was more then one person acting as the package. After struggling with the knot that held the bag closed, Aviva was finally able to release the Kratt's crew of Jimmy Z, Koki, and Martin- the final Kratt brother.
"Aviva, that you?" the whisper came from Martin. But his voice had been transformed, gone from it was the joy and the jest that so often could be found in it.
Before Aviva could respond a second bag was released from the heavens. The only differences in this bag were that it contained only one person, and the occupant made no sound as they hit the ground. Martin this time was the one to scurry over to the bag and free the occupant. When he was at last able to pry the binding ropes off the bag and let both fall to the ground, he could not help but let out a faint squeak as the piercing green eyes of Zach Varmitech gazed back up at him.
There was a large chorus of "Zach?" and "What's he doing here?" that came up from the group. Jimmy Z actually had to be restrained by Martin, for he went flying towards Zach to inflict pain onto the villain's body. As Martin subdued the fuming Jimmy, he noticed that Zach had some major injuries already. By the looks of it, a broken leg, a split lip that was bleeding heavily, and a slow drip of crimson blood trailing from his head. The silence in the room was only broken by panting of Jimmy and the growling that came forth from the possessed Chris.
After a minute or two, Martin was the first to break the bearer that filled the air.
"Zach, what happened to you?"
Nothing, not a single word was said by Zach. It was then that Martin noticed that it was not Zach's lip that was split; rather the blood was coming from inside his mouth, seeming to pour off his pail lips and onto the floor. Martin reached towards Zach's face, and as he did so Zach pulled back.
"Its okay Zach. I'm not going to hurt you," Said Martin in response to the attempted retreat of Zach. Once again Martin reached out to Zach's face. This time Zach did not pull away, instead he closed his eyes as Martian opened his mouth to examine the inside. Now it was Martin who pulled back. All that the blonde brother could manage to say was "Oh my god." Again and again, this was the only thing Martin could manage to choke out until Koki asked,
"Martin, what is it? What happened to him?"
Martin fixed the crew with a funny sort of look, almost as if he still could not believe what he had just seen, and said
"They cut out his tongue."
