I'm back and with a new story! Happy new years everyone and I hope that you enjoy this new story! Don't forget to review afterwards guys.
Man sometimes I wish I wasn't Kur. It gets really annoying especially in times like this when my powers short out. "Zak hold these Loveland frogs back!" Dad yelled as we ran for the airship.
"I'm trying! My powers are still being difficult though!" I said as I tried to control the Loveland frogs.
"Zak you need to hold them back if we want to find that creature that has been terrorizing this town." Mom said as we kept running. We got a report of a large cryptid a few days ago being seen here that has been terrorizing the town every night. We don't even know what it looks like because it apparently is a shape shifter.
We all heard a loud screeching noise. All the Loveland Frogs heard it too I think because they ran off. "That's the noise that the locals said they heard before the cryptid showed up." Dad said as he put on his glove. Something landed in front of me and I stumbled backwards.
It sounded like it was laughing and then a second later it shifted into a Blue tiger. Just my luck. The one thing that messes with my powers. "Come on little tiger. Come with us." I said as I tried to control it. My powers weren't freaking out from it luckily. It snarled at me.
"Zak be careful." Mom said behind me.
"I know what I'm doing mom." I said as I moved closer to the tiger.
It darted away and I ran after it. "Zak be careful of the swamp!" Mom said. Too late. I ran right into the swamp.
"Oh man!" I yelled as I tried to get out of the swamp. I couldn't move though because of the mud was making a suction on my legs every time I tried to get out. The blue tiger walked over to me and had a victorious look on its face. It bit down on my shirt and began to pull me out. "Your friendly aren't you?" I said as I got out of the swamp. It nodded its head at me.
"That I am. But only when I want to be." the Blue tiger said to me as it sat down. It talks? I didn't know that it could talk.
"How are you talking?" I asked as I picked up my claw.
"Because I am not just a cryptid but also a human like yourself." the tiger said. It began to morph until it became a skinny blond girl. She had deep blue eyes and was actually muscular for a girl.
"Your human?" I questioned.
"Partly. I prefer to stay as cryptids though because it is fun to freak the towns inhabitants out." the girl said as she stood up.
"How are you both cryptid and human?" I asked her.
"Now that just isn't any of your business now is it boy." She said as she began to walk away from me.
"Wait then whats your name?" I asked as I followed after her.
"Jaden." She said. She then morphed and flew off. I gotta remember that name so I can tell my parents. I began to walk back to the airship.
"Zak did you catch the cryptid?" Dad asked me as I walked over to them.
"Yeah but it wasn't a cryptid. It was a girl who said she was part cryptid and human." I said as we got on the airship. I explained everything that happened then to them.
"Wait how is that even possible. I have never heard of a human who is part cryptid before except for you Zak since you are Kur." Mom said as we sat in the control room.
"I don't know. Like I said she didn't tell me much before she flew off." I said as I cleaned mud off of my claw.
"Then we need to find her again. Besides we also need to stop her from terrorizing this town." Dad said to me.
"But how are we going to find her?" I asked as Fisk and Komodo came into the room.
"I don't know. We will be able to tell when we find her though from what the towns people said to us." Mom said.
"Come on Fisk. Lets go find her and bring her back." I said as Fisk and I left the control room.
"Where are we going to look for her at though?" Fisk asked me as we walked off the airship.
"I don't know." I said. I heard a loud screeching again. Sounds like we found her. Now to just capture her.
"What was that?" Fisk asked me.
"The girl we are looking for. Come on Fisk." I said as we began to walk towards the screeching. After a while we came across a cave and I could hear the screeching coming from inside it.
"Zak I don't think this is such a good idea." Fisk said as he got in front of me.
"Stop worrying. I'm Kur. I think I'll be fine Fisk." I said as I took my claw off my belt.
I heard a soft whimpering as we walked down the cave. "Please let me go." someone said as Fisk and I came into a small room.
I saw Jaden in a Blue Tiger morph and a small girl who was cowering in a corner. "I'm sorry but that just isn't who I am child." Jaden said as she walked closer to the girl.
The girl began to cry. "Hey Jaden let the girl go!" I yelled as Fisk and I ran up to her. She snarled at us and ran out of the room and down a tunnel. "Fisk I'll go after her. Take the girl back to her family." I called back to Fisk as I ran for the tunnel.
I came into a small opening that looked to be used as a room. I heard a low growling and when I looked up something dropped on me. "Why must you meddle in my affairs child? You have no business with me and I have none with you." Jaden said as she pinned me to the ground.
"You cant keep terrorizing this town." I said as I tried to get free.
"I can and I will continue to for as long as it keeps me content. I am the strongest cryptid around." Jaden said with an evil grin. I began to try and control her. My powers shorted on me and she stumbled back. She said something in a different language. "You, your Kur?" Jaden questioned.
"You know about Kur?" I questioned as I sat up.
"Boy I am a cryptid. All cryptids know of Kur." Jaden said as she looked me in the eyes. She morphed back to her human self.
"Okay now that you have calmed down you are coming with me." I said as I began to control her. She listened to me and followed close behind me. I'm kind of surprised that my powers work on her since she is also part human.
"Zak is that the girl you were supposed to capture?" Fisk asked me as I came out of the cave.
"Yeah Fisk. Lets get her back to the airship for my parents to figure out what to..." My powers shorted on me again. I heard Jaden groan and a second later she was running off in a Tapire Lauara morph. "Yeah that figures." I said as I began to run after her.
"Keep away from me little boy. I am not to be taken from my home anymore." Jaden said as she dove into the swamp. Anymore?
"We are taking you away from here. You cant keep terrorizing this town." I said as I stopped next to the swamp.
"This is my town now kid. I am going to do what ever I want with..." I cut her off when I took control over her. I made her come out of the swamp and follow me back to the airship. Fisk and I got back to the airship a while later and Dad locked Jaden up in a containment unit.
"It was really hard for me to catch her. My powers kept surging on me." I said to my parents after I explained everything that happened. I watched Jaden try to break out of the containment unit.
"Maybe you can try and convince her to leave the town alone." Mom said to me.
"I doubt it but I will try." I said as I walked over to her. She glared angrily at me.
"Let me go right now or you and your family will suffer a most excruciating fate." Jaden threatened me.
"Then promise to leave this town alone." I said as I leaned on the glass.
"Never! I took this town as my own after I was kicked out of my last by a group of people like you. I am not going to let it happen again." Jaden said angrily.
"What do you mean you were kicked out of your last town?" I asked her.
"Some spider like person and a creepy looking man forced me out of my home so I took refuge here while I healed my wounds. I took a liking to this place and made it my home." Jaden said as she sat down. Argost kicked her out of her last home. I should have known.
"Well you don't have to terrorize the town." I said as I took out my claw.
"Its in my nature. I do what I want. I never harm the towns people anyways. I kidnap them, then I knock them out and return them later. No harm no foul." Jaden said as she began to pace back and forth.
"Yeah well we are the good guys, unlike Argost who kicked you out of your last home." I said as I opened the containment unit.
"I don't trust any humans." Jaden said as she looked me in the eyes.
"Yeah well you can trust me. I am Kur after all." I said as I helped her down out of the containment unit.
"Yeah which means you are evil. You are going to just control me for your bidding." Jaden said as she made like she was going to leave.
"I'm not evil. Kur may have been evil but I am going to try and change that. I can help you too if you want." I said as I blocked Jaden from running.
Jaden chuckled at me. "You cant change me kid. I'm twelve years of evil. Now be smart and just let me go." Jaden said as she pushed me out of the way.
I raised my claw to her and began to control her. I put her back in the containment unit and sat down next to it. This girl is soo stubborn. "Sorry but we aren't going to let you go unless you leave this town alone." I said as I watched her scratch at the glass.
"Evil little boy. You know that you cant resist the temptations of being evil." Jaden said as she morphed into a Tapire Lauara.
"I am not evil. I will never be evil." I said as I stood up and walked over to her. She grinned evilly at me.
"Then why do you take me from my home? I find that a evil thing to do." Jaden said as she looked me in the eyes.
"Zak its time for us to get going now. Are we bringing her along or not?" Mom asked as she came into the room.
"Yeah mom. She refuses to leave the town alone so I guess we are." I said as I noticed Jaden look at me like she was going to seriously hurt me.
"Come on Zak. Its time for you to be getting to bed." Mom said as we left the room and began to walk toward my bedroom.
"What are we going to do with Jaden then?" I asked her.
"I don't know. We cant let her go or she might just start to terrorize more towns. We'll talk about it tomorrow." Mom said as we walked into my bedroom. "Good night Zak." Mom said to me.
"Night." I said. I closed my door and went and laid down on my bed. It took me awhile but I finally fell asleep.
*Jaden *
Annoying humans. Capturing me like this and taking me away from my home. This is my town they cant just take me from it. I have been here for much longer than them. I never hurt any of the inhabitants. I watched as the boys mom, I think she said his name was Zak, passed by me and into another room. A few minutes later a Komodo dragon came into the room and watched me. "What are you looking at fellow cryptid?" I asked as I watched it come over to me.
"Why are you soo mean towards us?" the Komodo dragon asked me.
"Because you are taking me from my home. Now leave me alone." I said as I turned away from it. I sat down against a wall and tried to sleep. I morphed into a blue tiger and curled up and went to sleep. I woke when I heard someone tap on my cage.
I watched as Zak opened the cage but I acted like I was still asleep. "I think she is still asleep Fisk so don't worry." Zak said to a Lemurian who stood next to him.
"You need to work on your interpretations of others child." I said as I stood up. "Are you going to release me now?" I asked him.
"Are you going to stop terrorizing the town?" Zak asked me.
"I do as what was done to me when I was younger. So that would be a no." I said as I morphed back to normal.
"What was done to you?" Zak asked me.
"None of your business child." I said as I turned away from him. My past is my business and I will not share it with one who is taking me from my home.
"Do you want to get out of here?" Zak asked me. I hate this kid so much.
"My past is my own business and I will not share it with anyone." I said as I faced him again.
"Even Kur?" Zak said with a smirk. I really want to just hit this kid.
"No one will know my past." I said as I walked up to him.
"Why do you hate us so much?" Zak asked as he watched me sit down.
"I hate you for taking me from my home. I hate humans because they hate me too. Where ever I go I am outcast. They don't want a part human, part cryptid freak in there town." I said as I morphed back to normal.
"Then stay as a human." Zak said to me.
"Why do that when I can get back at the people for hating me by terrorizing them." I said with an evil grin.
"Zak what are you doing with her?" Zak's dad asked as he came into the room.
"Nothing dad." Zak said as he closed my cage.
"Well is she going to stop terrorizing towns?" Zak's dad asked him. I morphed into a Tapire Lauara and began to claw at the glass.
"No she isn't dad. She said she is only doing it because they hate her so she is getting back at them." Zak said to his dad like I wasn't even here. I noticed a small air vent above my head. It was small enough for me to morph into a Flashlight frog and get through it. I chuckled evilly and morphed into a frog. I spat venom at it and it opened up.
"Goodbye foolish humans." I said evilly. I umped into the vent and began to crawl through it.
*Zak *
Oh man I forgot about the air vents in the containment unit. Now I have to go and track Jaden down before she gets out of the airship. "Fisk you check the control room and the lab. I'll go and check the bedrooms and the kitchen." I said as I took my claw off my belt. I checked the bedrooms and the kitchen. I couldn't find Jaden and neither could Fisk. Where did she go? I was in the hall when I heard walking above me.
"Cant catch what you cant find boy." Jaden said through one of the vents.
"Stop calling me boy!" I yelled as I shot my claw at the vent. I tore it open and she fell out onto the floor.
"You really think you can catch me? I can change into any cryptid I want in a matter of seconds." Jaden said as she morphed back to normal.
"I'm not letting you get out of this ship." I said as I raised my claw to her. She began to growl and a second later she lunged at me. I dodged and kicked her into a wall.
"Insolent little brat! I am evil, while you are good. I will not lose to a weak human like yourself." Jaden said as she glared at me.
"We'll see about that." I said as I took my dads battle glove out of my pocket. Good thing he doesn't know I have it yet. I put it on and Jaden lunged at me again. She had claws now.
"I refuse to lose to you!" Jaden said as she tried to claw my arm. I hit her hard in the chest with the battle glove and she was sent flying down the hall.
"Yeah well I'm Kur so I will just control you." I said as I tried to control her. She lashed at me like my powers had no effect on her.
"That may be but I am much stronger than you Zak." Jaden said as she charged me in Tapire Lauara morph. I tried my powers on her again but they still didn't work. What is going on with my powers today!
"Why don't you just try being good for once." I said as I dodged her.
"I tried that before and it wasn't as much fun. Also I got hurt in the process." Jaden said with an evil grin as she morphed back to normal. I lunged at her and she tripped me. I fell hard to the ground and she pinned me down. "I told you I wouldn't lose to a weak human like your..." Jaden was cut off when Fisk tackled her.
"Thanks Fisk." I said as I watched her struggle to get free from Fisk.
"Release me Lemurian or you will suffer with the humans." Jaden threatened. I walked up to her.
I watched her morph into a Blue Tiger. "Stop being so mean towards us and we..." I was cut off when Jaden whipped her tail and hit me hard in the crotch. I fell to my knees from the pain. She laughed as she morphed back to normal. I heard Fisk trying to suppress a laugh also.
"Didn't think I knew about your weak area did you." Jaden said through her laughing.
"Okay I was going to help you but you can forget it now." I said as I stood up.
"Ha like I need your help." Jaden said as she rolled her eyes at me.
"You do if you want to go back to your home." I said as I took my claw off my belt.
"I can just destroy you and your family. Then I will go home." Jaden said as she grinned evilly at me. I grabbed her by the neck and slammed her into the wall.
"You wont destroy my family because I can just kill you if you try." I said angrily. No one messes with my family. Jaden looked at me surprised.
"I knew that Kur was truly evil like myself." Jaden said with a smirk.
"I am not evil and I never will be." I said as I tightened my grip on her neck.
"You know that you cant resist the sweet temptations of being evil. You get to do what ever you want when ever, you listen to know one but yourself. Its the best way to live." Jaden said as she tried to get free from my grip on her neck.
"I am not going to become evil like you are." I said as I looked her in the eyes.
"Its not a choice. You are Kur so you will end up becoming evil. I chose to become evil personally because everyone hated me." Jaden said as she tried to reach for my claw.
"Yeah well I am not going to become evil. Fisk go get the containment unit ready for Jaden." I said to Fisk. He nodded and left. "You know people probably wouldn't hate you if you weren't soo evil." I said as I turned back to Jaden.
"Yeah well you cant change who you are." Jaden said as she looked up at the ceiling.
"Yes you can and unless you do we aren't letting you go." I said as I loosened my grip on her neck.
Jaden rolled her eyes at me. I began to pull her down the hall towards the containment unit. "You know you are kinda cute when trying to act mean towards me." Jaden said to me with a smirk. Wait, what? I lost my grip on Jaden and she bolted down the hall.
"I hate this girl so much." I said to myself as I ran after her. She caught me off guard once but I am not going to let that happen again.
*Jaden *
Foolish kid. He underestimated my knowledge. I knew that a prepubescent boy like him would fall for something like that easily. I found the door and ran towards it. "Your not going to get away that easily." Zak said as he ran up to me.
"I am going back to my home now." I said as I ran off of the airship. I heard shouting in the distance. Sounds like the town is here to welcome me back.
"There is it! Get it and kill it now." The mayor ordered. Seems like they formed a mob. I tried to morph into a Duah but nothing happened. This isn't good. I began to run for the swamp.
"Come on morph!" I said to myself as I ran. Why cant I morph! This has never happened before. I could smell smoke coming from behind me. I felt a sharp pain in my back and when I looked back I was bleeding. I hid behind a tree to catch my breath.
"Find that monster and destroy it. We'll set this whole swamp on fire if we have to." The mayor said in the distance.
"Lets just set the swamp on fire now and let the fire do away with her mayor." one of the citizens said to the mayor. They must have agreed on it because a second later trees began to catch fire from the area they were at.
"Come on morph!" I said as I tried again to morph a Duah. Still nothing. I cursed and began to run again. I tripped over a fallen tree and fell hard. The whole area was engulfed in smoke now. I coughed badly as I tried to get through. I heard shouting in the distance but ignored it. I fell into the swamp then.
*Zak *
The whole town is burning this forest to the ground just to kill Jaden. I know that she is evil but I still have to help her. She is a cryptid sort of so I have to help all the cryptids. I ran through the forest towards the area where I sensed a cryptid in distress. I am glad my powers are still able to tell me when there is a cryptid in trouble. "Jaden where are you?" I called out to her. I heard something thrashing in the swamp and I went towards it. I found Jaden thrashing in the swamp.
"Come on morph!" Jaden shouted as she thrashed in the swamp.
"Jaden you have to get out of here now." I said as I took my claw off my belt.
"I cant I'm stuck." Jaden said as she struggled worse.
"Just morph and swim out." I said through my coughing.
"I cant. Somethings wrong and I cant...." Jaden went under then. Oh man this isn't good. I dove into the swamp to get her. I pulled her out and she was unconscious. Just my luck. I laid her down on the ground and checked for a pulse. I found a small one.
"Oh man." I said as I tried to get her to breath. I want to try CRP but my mom hasn't finished teaching me how to do it yet. I gave in and tried to do CRP on her. It worked because a second after I was done she spat out a bunch of the swamp water.
"What are you still doing here?" Jaden asked me as she sat up. I noticed that she had bad burns and a few wounds.
"Come on we have to get out of here." I said as I helped her up.
"I don't need your help." Jaden said as she pushed me away.
"Hey you should be thanking me. I just saved your life." I said as I noticed the fire beginning to get worse.
"Well I didn't ask you to so why did you?" Jaden asked me as I helped her as we tried to find a way out of the forest.
"Because I am not evil. I don't care if you are either. I still have to help you since you are part cryptid." I said as I noticed a small opening in the forest for us to get out at.
"Let me go." Jaden said as she tried to push me away again.
"What do you want to die?" I questioned her.
"I don't need your help. I can get out of here on my own." Jaden said as she pushed me away.
"You are soo stubborn! Don't you realize how hurt you are." I said as I watched her stumble forward. I grabbed her before she could fall.
"Don't you realize that I don't need a weak little prepubescent boy like yourself to help me." Jaden retorted at me.
"Alright you know what, you don't want my help. Fine. Lets see how you manage with those wounds and burns then." I said as we got out of the forest.
"I have managed for twelve years on my own. I'm sure I'll be fine." Jaden said as she limped away from me. I began to walk back to the airship.
"She isn't going to make it long with those wounds." I said to myself as I stood outside the airship. I heard someone coming and a second later Jaden came over to me. "You going to let me help?" I asked.
"Yes but right after I am back to normal I'm long gone." Jaden said as she avoided eye contact with me. I chuckled and led her inside to the medical lab.
First chapter done! Zak really doesn't like Jaden that much. Will he be able to get her to leave the town alone? More chapters coming as soon as possible. Hope you enjoyed and please remember to review.
