Next Saturday

What exactly happened to Saturday Family long after the threats of both Kur and V.V. Argost were finally dealt with? What lied in store in the future for them? This is a Chronicle to answer those questions. Though, i should point out; it might be a while before i write more, i have at least four other stories that have been demanding my attention. I hope you can understand that.

1. Chapter 1

Next Saturday

Disclaimer- I own nothing

It has been many years since the Saturday Family thwarted the combined threat of V.V. Argost and Kur, and I can assure you, much has changed for them in that time frame. For one thing; after that threat was diverted, the Saturday family was finally able to rebuild, and move back into, their old home, and even add some new features to it in the process. They continued to do what they did best; study and protect Cryptids, but, given what occurred during the "War of the Cryptids" that became slightly more difficult to say the least. Fortunately though, thanks to some help from the Secret Scientists, they were able to mostly keep that incident under wraps, and afterwards, the Secret Scientists offered them all a place back into their fold. Apparently, the "War of the Cryptids" was proof to all of them that they really needed Secret Scientists who knew about such creatures on their side, lest another similar catastrophe occur in the future.

Now, of course, the family patriarch; Dr. Solomon "Doc" Saturday, and his wife, Drew Saturday, were both somewhat hesitant to accept this offer at first, seeing as these were the very same people who tried to capture their son, Zak Saturday, and put him into cryogenic storage. Though, the family's personal Cryptids; Komodo the mutated Komodo dragon, Zon the post-prehistoric dinosaur, and the Fiskerton Phantom (known simply as Fiskerton or Fisk), were undoubtedly against trusting the Secret Scientists again. They were all very close to Zak, you see, which means that just about anyone who tries to hurt him in some way is instantly their enemy for life, no questions asked. However, while Zak himself was also not too sure that his family could ever truly trust the Secret Scientists again, especially since his Cryptid influencing powers could resurface at any time and make him a threat in their eyes all over again. In the end, Zak decided that it was probably for the best that the Secret Scientists were around to keep a vigil for things like that. The last thing he wanted to do was become the new Kur again, and truthfully, he believed that if there was anything out there that could stop him, should he lose control of his dark side, then he probably should not try to neutralize it or turn it away.

Zak explained how he felt to his parents and, after much thought, they decided that their son was probably right, albeit begrudgingly. They accepted the offer to return to the Secret Scientists, but, even then, both Doc and Drew have remained on their guard whenever they were around their "colleagues" within the organization. Because, even though they (mostly) agreed with Zak about having a safety net against his Kur nature, they would both still fight to the very last man to protect their one and only son. Anyway, the Saturday family continued to try and return to their original status quo; studying the ways of the world's Cryptids and making sure that they remained hidden from the rest of the world. And just like in the past, this has caused them to come into conflict with a slew of villains and baddies; some of which were emerging new foes, while others were returning old ones. However, there was one adversary that the whole family knew that they couldn't keep at bay for very long; modern progress.

For you see, while the Saturday family has made it a point to move certain cryptids away from populated areas, they could only keep them out of the public eye for so long. More and more people started to catch glimpses of these creatures and attempted to expose them in one way or another. Pretty soon, the Saturday family could no longer keep the cryptid world a secret from anyone anymore; almost everyone on the planet now knew that these creatures were real and not just legends. Now, granted, the aftermath of the reveal was somewhat softened by the earlier integration of extraterrestrials on Earth (Ben 10). But, even so, as one would expect, the cryptid world still had many things to deal with, like; racist groups, media-related scrutiny, black market hunters and a few businesspeople who wanted to try and use them as funny mascots. Suffice it to say; the Saturdays were now needed by the world of cryptids now more than ever, and they knew it.

However, the Saturday family would soon have to deal with more… internal matters further down line, and they probably never would have even known just how serious those very same matters were until one wild and busy week in late July.
