Chapter Two, Zak's 14th
Zak woke up one day (Several months after the last chapter took place) and found the entire house devoid of his family (as if the absence of Fiskerton, Komodo, and Zon wasn't enough). He found a note on the fridge saying the following:
Hey there kiddo,
I thought you would like to have a scavenger hunt on this specific day. So here is the first clue: Zon used to sleep here. Go and find the next clue. Good Luck Zak.
– Drew
Reading the part about Zon brought a tear to Zak's eye; he hadn't seen her (or practically any Cryptid at all) since Leondias Van Rook's funeral. He looked at the grave outside which only made him even sadder, so he went to Zon's old nest.
Zak: Okay… so where's that clue… ah!
Zak managed to find it. It said:
Yo, Mini-Man!
This… should sound familiar. "… Two is plenty." Remember where I said that? That's where you'll find the next clue. Later!
–Doyle
Zak took a moment to smirk at the note.
Zak: [So Doyle's here too huh] (These [] mean thoughts)
He immediately went to Van Rook's grave and found another note at its foot. This time, he could tell, from his father.
Zak,
Your next clue is located next to an object we normally don't let you use due to… past actions. Your mother keeps breaking these all the time. Don't tell her I wrote that.
–Doc
Zak immediately headed for the family room, but-
Zak: That's strange, it's locked. Okay, so where else in the house can you find a TV? … ! DUH! (He heads to the "main entertainment area" of his)
He found the next and last clue. When he read who it was from he was in shock.
Zak,
It's been so long pal. How are you? Anyway, this is the last clue so head to the main family living room okay were all back and waiting for you.
Fiskerton
Zak: (Just stood there Dumbstruck) F-F-Fisk? He's HERE? (He ran at high speed toward the living room)
Zak entered the now unlocked living room, only to find it pitch-black (almost).
Zak: Were IS everyone?
?: {Right here, bro!}
All(except Zak): SURPRISE!
All the lights went on and the widows opened (you know what parts of the windows I mean; the blinds.). The family room looked practically different; there were streamers of all colors from gorgeous to sinister to lovely hanging from the ceiling. The floor at the center had a hardlight (Solid hologram) image of a dance floor. The walls were draped with red, blue, green, and yellow, but mostly the family colors: orange and black. He could see the following people: Drew, Doc, Doyle, Ulraj, Wadi, and most surprising of all, Fisk, Komodo, and Zon.
Zak: … FISK!(He Ran up to Fisk to give him a great big hug) I… I never thought I'd see you again.
Fisk:{Aww… Zak…} (These {} mean that Fisk, Komodo, Zon Etc. is the one "talking")
Komodo: {HEY! What about us?}
Zak: Awww, who'd ever forget you guys? (He went to embrace Komodo and Zon.)
Doyle: Happy birthday Mini-Man.
Zak: how- what- how-
Doc: when you were asleep last night the computers picked up some thing strange, but before I could identify it, I received reports of Cryptids being seen by the Secret Scientists from around the world. Then the next thing I know, these three are standing right next to me!
Fisk, Komodo, and Zon laughed.
Doyle: Hey, Um… don't mean to be rude (that a lie and every one knows it), but it IS a party, so let's party!
They did a few a games, including twister in which Zak lost miserably to Fiskerton. Then he opened his presents.
From Doc, he received a truly magnificent version of the Cryptipedia. It had additional info on all Cryptids. Doc told him there is less likely to be anything there that isn't accurate.
From Drew he received a tinier version of the battle glove his father wears. It fitted him like, well, a glove.
He got two things from Doyle: one a new Zon Glider and two, an Electric Guitar, colored Orange with Jet black Stripes.
From Wadi: A Bright Blue yo-yo.
From Ulraj: an armband to go with the battle glove.
Zak: thanks guys.
Doc: Anytime Zak. …Anytime.
Doyle: uh… Professor, (Reference to "Kur Rising")(Doyle walks to Zak holding another present.) there's uh one more.
Zak: what?
Doc: You br-
Doyle: Hey! Prof, this isn't from me… in fact… I don't know who sent this.
Drew: Wait a minute, sent? What do you mean sent?
Doyle: There's no name on it. And I've checked it anyway I could. It's should be safe to open.(He just gives it to Zak at that point.) Well, here ya' go.
Zak just stared for a moment. Then he slowly opened it.
It had a journal in it that looked brand new, and had a black cover on it. It came with a note.
Dear Zak Saturday,
How are you? Me? My name, Kur, is Jordan Mason. Yes, I know al about you. Rest assured your secret is safe with me and my father, Ansem. I found this Journal on one of my dads Excavations and I think it may be useful to you in the next few days to come. It's in some unknown ancient language but I'm sure it's nothing your parent can't translate (I hope). Don't bother finding me, I'm on the run. Wait for us to visit you, okay. I hope we can be good friends.
Jordan
P.S. I'm a fan Of Weird World too.
Zak: … … …
Doc: … Zak?
Drew: Mason… Mason… it rings a bell…
Doc: I know why. Professor Ansem "the wise" Mason (a character from Kingdom Hearts 2) was part of the excavation team that found the Kur stone 14 years ago.
Drew: oh, of course. I forgot about him.
Zak: … … uhh, Mom?
Drew: Hmm?
Zak: here (he hands here the book) please could you…?
Drew: (She opens the book to find…) Wh…! This language- I- I can't read it!
Zak and Doc: WHAT!
Drew: wait! I found something I CAN translate.
Zak: Really?
Drew: hmm… "When read by the eyes of Kur, this book will be seen in his language, regardless"
Wadi: So, only Kur can read it.
Zak: Gimme! (He just up and snatched the book from Drew's hand) (He then tries to read it but…) nothing… I can't read this at all…
Ulraj: It's okay Zak, you tried.
Zak: yeah…
Afterwards, they had some cake (filled with ice cream) and then all the guests left.
Later that evening.
Zak's Dream
?: Zak
Zak: Huh
Imagine him in the middle of pitch-black nothingness.
?: Zak, Please Wake up! Something terrible is about to happen!
Zak: wait, WHAT!
Real World
BOOM. (that sure woke everyone up with a start)
THEIR HOUSE WAS UNDER ATTACK!
