OPEN WATER

Drew and zak were in the Saturday sub. They had just surfaced and were on their way to an island to meet up with Doc and Doyle. They had just stopped the serpent queen from destroying the Atlas pin and the world and all they wanted tp do was get home. "Well they got away." Drew said to her husband on the other line.

"They?" He asked. Drew smiled.

"Just enjoy the win" She said smirking. Doc smiled.

"Hey what are you doing fur ball?" Doyle asked watching Fisk through the head out the window.

"I think he just settled our vote." Zak said from the other line.

"Well we'll meet you at Solomon island ok?" Drew said. Doc nodded and Doyle snickered.

"What?" He asked.

"You were named after an island?" Doyle asked. Doc rolled his eyes.

"No it's just a coincidence." He said to his brother in law.

"Anyway." Drew interrupted. "We-" She was cut off by static.

"Huh?" Doc asked. Then their was a loud bang from Drew's end. The last he saw was them falling over and the screen went blank. "Drew? Drew! Zak!" He yelled at the screen. He pressed a few buttons but nothing happened. Doyle ran over to him.

"What happened? Are they ok?" Doyle asked. Doc shook his head.

"I don't know the screen went blank." He said. Doyle sneered. He walked over to doc.

"What! That's your wife and son how can you sound so calm? What if something bad happened to them?" Doyle practically yelled. Doc glared at him.

"I'm trying to be calm because panicking never helped when it came to Drew." He said. Doyle was confused.

"What?" He asked. Doc got to the flying controls and started to steer to the Saturday sub's last location.

"You may be her brother but I know Drew better then anyone. She taught me that panicking just makes things harder." He said.

"O really and how do you know that for sure?" He asked.

"Because during the first trip to weird world no matter how many of her comrades Drew saw being killed, She never panicked. She just kept on thinking of new strategies. Drew was new to our organization and yet she came out the strongest. If it wasn't for her No one would've made it out alive." Doc said with a straight face. Doyle's face saddened.

"Ok let's go." He said and Doc nodded.

Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Drew came to the surface and looked around. The Saturday ship was still a float but had a huge whole in it. She touched her forehead and saw red. Her world was turning. She shook her head.

"Focus" She said to herself. She grabbed onto the sub and tried to pull herself out. Komodo was there and grabbed er sleeve and helped her up. She stood up and looked around and put a hand to her head. "Ow. Zak?" She struggled to say. She went through the whole and down the ladder. But fell over as soon as she went below. Komodo followed her. He nudged her to see if she was ok. Drew stood up. She grabbed a towel and wiped the blood away and wrapped her forehead quickly. "Looks like the sub's not going anywhere guess were going to have to wait it must've suffered more damage then I thought." She said to herself. Drew looked around again. "Zak!" She yelled again.

"Mom!" She heard a faint yell Drew looked around then ran back to the top of the sub. She looked around then saw Zak About a quarter mile out.

"Zak!" She yelled. "Komodo stay down there." She said the dove into the water. She swam as fast as she could. Zak started to swim to her but slowly. When they caught up Drew hugged him. "Are you ok Sweaty?" She asked. He nodded.

"Mom your forehead." He said. Drew smiled.

"Im ok lets-" She started. She turned around to see the sub getting further and further away.

"Mom why is the sub leaving on its own?" Asked Zak. Drew thought for a moment.

"Zak don't let go of me ok." Drew said. Zak looked at her.

"Huh why?" he asked. Drew looked at him.

"Please Zak just do as I say."he grabbed onto her arm as they tried to stay afloat. "We're stuck in a current the subs not moving we are." She said. Zak's eyes widened.

"I know! I'll try to grab onto the boat with my claw." He said reaching for it only to find he didn't have it. "Oh no! I left it on the sub." He said. Drew nodded.

"Ya I left my sword their to." She said. Zak wrapped his arms around his mom's arm.

"Mom what now?" He asked. Drew sighed.

"I guess we wait for your dad and Doyle to get us." Drew said. Zak nodded. Meanwhile the current kept dragging them further and further out. Zak looked to see A small a island.

"Mom you think we could swim to it?" He asked. Drew shook her head.

"It's way to far Zak It's miles out. The best thing to do is stay put. I'm sure your dad will be able to see that their's a current and he'll search down current." Drew said. Zak's grip tightened.

"When will that be mom?" He asked. Drew wrapped an arm around Zak.

"Well sweaty, I'm sure they saw that we were in trouble. I'm sure Doc has located the sub. It'll take an Hour to get here and I'd say about an hour to find us. So I'd say about 4 o'clock the latest." She said.

"So were going to be here a while?" He said. Drew nodded.

"Aw man I'm going to miss weird- I I mean discovery channel." He said nervously. Drew shook her head. Zak started to get worried. He was always with cryptids that real predators frighten him a little bit. He realized what situation they were in. He gulped remembering watching jaws.

"Are you ok Zak?" Drew asked her son. He nodded. "Well you can let go of me now the current stopped." She said. Zak realized he was squeezing the heck out of his mother's arm. He let go.

"So does this mean we can swim back?" He asked. Drew shook her head.

"Sorry sweaty but we can't risk getting into the current again." She said. Zak sighed. Drew took out her orange mask that was hooked to her side. They had hardly enough air in their suit helmets for a bug to breath after all that time in Kumari. Drew strapped the normal orange face mask on and started to look under water. Zak could feel his heart skip a beat at his mother's behavior.

" M-mom? Are you looking for something?" He asked. Drew looked up at him and put her mask over her head. She thought for a moment. She could see that Zak was scared. Drew didn't want to frighten him anymore. He was able to face Snarling Cryptids but he was still 11. Drew shook her head.

"Nope Sweaty, just being aware." She said trying to choose her words carefully yet it seemed she didn't do a good job. Zak stiffened.

"Are we in danger mom cause I really don't want to get eaten by sharks Like that kid on Jaws!" Zak said frantically looking around. Drew sighed.

"Zak, you need to calm down. Yes, Sharks exist jaws was fake. Sharks aren't man eaters." Drew said trying to sound a realistic as possible. Although deep down inside she didn't want to get eaten either. "Now take out your mask." She said. Zak did and put it over his head.

"Mom how can you be so calm! We're in the middle of the ocean! Doesn't's that faze you at all?" He yelled at her. Zak regretted what he said. His mom looked hurt. "Mom I'm sorry." He said. Drew nodded.

"It's ok I'd expect you to react like that. You were relying on me and I kinda got you down huh?" She said with a half smile. Zak sighed and looked away from her and Drew did the same. Ten minutes went by when Zak Turned around to apologize. When he did Drew was no were to be seen.

"Mom? MOM!" He yelled. He turned around to see his mom A little ways away. Zak was panicking and close to tears. "Mom! Mom!" He yelled again. Drew quickly turned around.

"Oh no! ZAK!" She yelled. "Shit. Think Drew stay calm." She breathed in and out. She opened her eyes and called out to him.

"Zak! Stay calm swim to me!" She yelled swimming to her son. Zak wiped his eyes and started to swim as fast as they could to each other. They were ignoring each others present for so long they didn't realize they were sucked back into the powerful current. Drew reached out and grabbed her sons hand and pulled him in. She wrapped her arms around him. And rested her head on his. He was shaking. Drew rocked him back in fourth. "Shhh it's ok sweaty I got you." She said soothingly. Zak nodded.

"I'm sorry mom." He said. Drew thought for a moment and nodded.

"It's alright." She said.

"Love you." Zak said.

"Love you 2. Now Zak focus we can't let that happen agin ok?" She said. Zak nodded. "Good now we need a way to tie us together." She said. Zak got an idea in his head.

"The peace of string inside of our belts!" Zak said

"Great idea Zak! I guess you do take after your father in the brains department." She said. Zak smiled and reached under water opening up a small compartment that held a strong peace of string that was rolled up like dental floss. He grabbed the tip that wasn't connected to the belt and put his mask on. He dove under and hooked it onto his mother's belt. He surfaced and put his mask on top of his head. "All set?" Drew asked. Zak nodded.

Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Doc and Doyle arrived at the location. Both men landed on the sub. They searched everywhere but couldn't find them. All they found was Komodo gnawing on a wire. They put Komodo in the air ship and Brought the sub up. Doc was pacing back and forth. Fisk was talking to Komodo. "Man Drew you better not have drowned!" Doyle said but received a killing look from Doc. He put his hands up in defense. "Sorry." Fisk ran over to doc and Doyle.

"Fisha shwima!" He yelled.

"Huh Drew and Zak were taken out by the current?"Doc asked.

"You understood that?" Doyle asked.

"Zak he taught me uh never mind. We can't use the airship alone. At such high altitude we need to be at in order for the airship to continue to run we'd probably fly right over them. Let's go to Solomon Island." Doyle nodded.

They arrived at he island and asked almost every fishermen for help. Almost all of them decided to help. Doyle and Doc went into two different boats that went in opposite directions.

"Drew I'm not going to lose you again." Doyle whispered. He answered his walkie talkie. Doc was on the other end. "Yo you find them?" He asked.

"No but we have a bigger problem. Zak and Drew picked a bad time to leave their weapons behind. The locals say that they've been having problems with hammer head sharks."

Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Zak and Drew were still afloat in the current. They have been in the water for over two hours now. With each hour that was passing Drew was becoming more nervous but was trying hard not to show it. Drew held onto Zak around the waist while Zak had his arms around his moms neck. All he could picture was sharks circling around them and a big mouth coming out of no were and razor sharp teeth ending him and his mother. All of a sudden Zak jumped and pulled away from his mother. "Was that you?" He asked panicking.

"What?" Drew asked.

"Something touched my leg!" Zak yelled. Drew grabbed her son and shook him.

"Zak calm down! It was my foot! There's nothing down there look." Drew said trying to calm her son who was ready to have a stroke. Zak shook his head.

"No mom something's down there!" Zak yelled.

"Zak if there's anything dangerous down there." Drew started.

"Like sharks you mean! Mom just come out and say it already!" Zak yelled moving around. Drew squeezed his shoulders.

"Yes Zak! Like sharks and if you keep splashing around you going to see one up close and personal." Drew said trying a different approach to calm her son down. Zak Froze and his eyes widened. He swam to the side of his mom and both looked down into the endless pit of blue. Zak gulped.

"So is it like the movies?" He asked. Drew looked at him. Her wet bangs hanging over her face.

"What do you mean?" She asked. Zak didn't look at her he just stared into the water.

"One little nibble, One little drop of blood is all it takes for us to be finished." Zak said. Drew sighed.

"You watch to much movies Zak." She said giving him a smile. It wasn't real though because she knew that what he said was all to real. Sharks aren't man eaters but they'll think your prey if they smell blood and they can smell blood miles away. They sat there in the water waiting. For what neither could tell anymore. Was it for help? Or was it for death?

Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Doc and Doyle were with their search parties. They looked all over the area were the sub was and even followed a current. They had no idea that the current had dragged Drew and Zak miles out and to make things worse they were following the wrong current.

2 hours later

Zak sighed. "I'm pretty sure it's past four." Zak said leaning his head on his mother's shoulder Drew put an arm around him.

"Ya judging by the sun it's around five." She said.

"Can we start swimming now?" He asked. Drew shook her head.

"No we need to stay still and conserve our energy." Drew said. Zak sighed and looked all around.

"Nothing but blue. It makes you feel so small." He said. Drew nodded.

"It sure does kiddo it sure does." She said. Zak looked back at the land.

"Mom there's no other option, I really think we should try to swim." He said. Drew looked at Zak. She sighed.

"Alright you win." She said. She looked right at Zak. "Nice and easy ok? Don't splash. I'll look under water and you look up." Drew said pulling her face mask down. Zak nodded. They began swimming slowly. Drew looked around and came up for air every now and then. Zak nervously looked around because he was afraid of what he might see. As they swam Zak realized how brave his mother really was and that this was the reason she was always overprotective. "I don't have a good feeling." Drew thought to herself. Drew continued to look carefully below the surface. Zak kept jumping. He kept seeing pointed gray things and every time he thought they were fins, but he was just seeing things and he knew that but still, knowing that there were creatures that he couldn't use his powers on scared him. He gasped at the sight of a fin only for it to be a trick played my the mind. Drew herd the gasp and surfaced. "What is it Zak?" She asked quickly. Lifting up her mask. Zak shook his head,

"I-it was nothing." He said.

Another 2 hours

Drew and Zak continue to swim. Both are wearing their masks and both are determined to reach land. As Zak is swimming he feels pain on his hand and bolts up right. "Ow something bit me!" He says. Drew looked at him.

"Zak what are you talking about?" She said panicky. Zak flinches and takes off his mask.

"Ow!!" He yells agin. Drew lifts her mask.

"Zak what is.. OW!" She yells. Drew Starts to feel it to. "What the?" She asks. "Yow!" Zak pulls his mask down and looks underwater. His eyes widened. He serviced.

"Mom! Ow! It's millions. Ow!!!! Of little pink globs!" He yelled. Drew pulled her mask down and looked. She slapped her neck and surfaced.

"F- " She said but her cursing was blocked off by Zak's instead.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE THESE THINGS!" He yelled. Ignoring that her son's panicking behavior.

"There jellyfish Zak." She said.

"Then why ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!!! Do the hurt so bad!!!" He yelled. Drew coughed.

"Their tentacles are covered with cells and when the come in contact with something they send piousness barbs into our flesh. Ow!" Drew yelped.

"So these things are poisonous?" Zak asked. Drew shook her head.

"Let me Ow! Finish!" She said batting one away. "It just causes painful blisters." She said.

"O well that's not to WHAT!" He yelled. Drew shook her head.

"Anyway let's try to fight them off." She said and went under followed by Zak. They started kicking and punching at the jelly fish bought each time kept receiving painful Shocks. Both went up for air.

"Mom it's no use there are millions!" She said. Drew nodded.

"We're in a swarm. Come on we have to swim through it. It's gonna hurt but you won't die. There not hostile so they won't follow us." She said.

"Ya that's what you said last time about the atmosphere jelly fish ." He said. Drew smirked and they started to swim. Both kept yelping out as they swam through the countless amounts of jelly fish. Their orange swim suits proving useless. Zak wanted to cry. It hurt so bad. He looked over to his mom. She stopped yelling. He was amazed. All she had was determination in her eyes. And she kept swimming. Zak Nodded to himself. He had tears in his eyes but didn't let them fall. He stopped yelping and squeezed his eyes shut. "Charge!!!" He yelled swimming as hard as he could. Drew smiled and soon they were out. "Wohoooo!!!!" Zak yelled then cringed. "Man it feels like I'm on fire!" He said. Drew nodded.

"It'll go down before you no it." She said hugging her son.

"OW mom stings!" He said. She let go. Both looked at each other and started to laugh.

"You ok to go on?" She asked. Zak nodded. Drew put her mask down to continue to search under water. As Zak continues to search upward. As Drew was looking she looked straight down to see a little dot coming. Drew got in front of Zak and tried her best to move him behind her. Zak Looked at her as his mom came up and took a deep breath and went back under.

"Mom? Mom what is it?" He asked.

"Uh oh we splashed to much! What is that thing? Uh oh it's coming straight at my face!" Drew thought to herself watching the creature. She brought her head out of the water. "Zak watch out it's a barracuda!" She yelled. Zak eyes widened.

"What! You're not talking about those hostile fish with teeth are you?" He asked. Drew nodded.

"And this is a biggy!" She yelled. She looked at Zak. His face showed fear. "Tch!" She said going under.

"Mom!" Zak yelled. He went Under and saw his mom trying to lure it away. Drew was careful as she dogged its attacks.

Left, right, doge. Whatever happens this thing can not draw blood." Drew thought. Then It dashed it her. She leaned backwards so that it was over her and kicked it so hard she thought she herd It cough. Zak and Drew surfaced and grabbed each other. The Deadly fish circled around them but then swam off. Zak looked at his mom. She nodded. It was gone. Zak was the one to hug his mom this time. She smiled and wrapped her arms around him. He buried his head in her neck.

Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

The search parties returned to land. They have been searching for over six hours. Doc and Doyle begged them to help search again but they shook their heads. "We'll search again tomorrow. You can't see anything in the dark." A man said. Doc sighed and sat in a chair and held his head in his hands. Doyle was pissed.

"What do you mean it's to dark. My sister and her son, My nephew are out there!"He yelled. The man flinched at his rage.

"I'm sorry sir we'll go as soon a day break arrives." He said walking away.

"It's sad really to loose a child and his mother." One of the fishermen said to another. The other man nodded.

"To bad. But we all know by tomorrow the chances are that we'll be searching for dead bodies."
