A/N: Today's crossover is with a show called Zak Storm. It ended up way long, and I still feel like I could've done more with them.

I imagine that Zak as modern-day kid, so there are about two hundred years' difference between their time frames.


"We're lost, aren't we?"

"I grew up around here, we aren't lost."

Acxa threw Keith an unimpressed look. "We've been wandering this desert all quintant. It's getting dark. Which way is home?"

"We turn right here."

Keith marched around a large boulder, determined to prove Acxa wrong. He immediately came to a halt and threw his arm out to stop Acxa.

The siblings teetered on the edge of a steep fall. Twenty feet below was a pond.

"Definitely lost."

"We are not-"

Crack!

With no warning, the ground gave way beneath them. Keith and Acxa yelped, then tumbled down the stony hillside. They hit the surface hard and plunged deep underwater.

Luckily, Keith could swim well. A quick check found Acxa faring just as well. In seconds, they burst out of the water.

Keith shook his head and took a breath. He grimaced and spat when he tasted the salty water on his lips. There was an awful lot of splashing for a pond, he thought as he lifted his head.

Keith's mouth dropped open. He forgot to tread water and briefly sank before rising to the surface with a splutter. Acxa grabbed him, but he waved her off. She looked up and noticed what had shocked Keith.

The water stretched endlessly in front of them. It looked more like an ocean than a pond!

"What happened?" Keith asked.

Suddenly, there was a rushing sound from behind, accompanied by shouts.

"Oy, there's someone in the water!"

"Woah, stop, Chaos!"

Keith and Acxa turned quickly in the water to see a large ship bearing down on them. Before they could panic, the ship veered to the side and came to a halt that seemed too fast for a water-bound ship.

The ship was somehow a mix of ancient and modern. The main structure was weathered wood. The front was carved in the image a massive skull with eyes that glowed. The masts were a transparent blue that separated in the middle, folding backward as it stopped.

While Keith and Acxa gaped, three kids poked their heads over the edge of the rail.

The first kid couldn't have been more than thirteen or fourteen. He had cheery blue eyes and a bandana of sorts pushed up over his messy brown hair. He wore a black vest over a red shirt. The hilt of a sword decorated with the image of a skull with glowing green eyes showed over his right shoulder.

The second boy was a good deal larger and a couple years older at least. He wore armor made out of various junk items. He wore a flight cap that had horns and flight goggles over his bright orange hair. He had a small goatee, and an open and sort of blank expression on his face.

The third kid was a girl, maybe the first boy's age. Her thick pink hair and pink-tinted, pointed ears hinted that she wasn't human. She wore something on her forehead that was pointed like a star. Her clothes were purple and slightly scaly. She watched the siblings with serious pink eyes.

"Hey, you need help?" the first boy called down.

"Let's leave them!"

Keith's mouth dropped open as the skull on the boy's sword started to talk!

"Pirates don't pick up every stray they find in the sea!" the skull said.

The boy laughed. "Easy, there, Calabrass. We can't just leave them! Crogar, grab a rope."

The larger boy turned away, then came back with a rope. He lowered it to the siblings.

Keith looked at Acxa, who shrugged and took the rope. Keith climbed after her, and they soon reached the deck.

"Hey, I'm Zak Storm," said the first boy. He paused, and seemed disappointed when neither sibling showed recognition. "The Viking's Crogar and the fish princess is Cece."

Keith eyed Cece, wondering if the "princess" was literal or a nickname.

"Are ya gonna forget me?!" the sword demanded, making Keith start.

"Oh, yeah. The grumpy sword is Calabrass," Zak said with a chuckle. "Caramba is around here somewhere, ah, there he is!"

Keith turned and saw a yellow metal sphere with arms and legs come out from behind a door. The front of the sphere had a screen that was showing a smiley face. The thing -Caramba?- held thick towels that it gave to the siblings.

The confusion was cleared when the screen part of the sphere lifted up. The small green alien sitting inside had big blue eyes and a single antenna that drooped over backward. He had his hands on a set of controls that must have controlled the robot suit.

"I'm Keith Kogane. This is my sister, Acxa," Keith said. He shook hands with the kids. "Do you know where we are?"

"Oh, great, some newbies," said a slightly accented voice from behind.

Keith turned and jumped. He could handle fish people, aliens, and talking swords; those were slightly normal to him by then. What he was less used to was a much younger kid -what was he, nine?- whose robes and cowl were the same transparent blue as his body. The only different color to the boy was his black pupils and pale green eyes. He floated a few inches off the ground.

"You're a... ghost?" Keith said slowly. He took the ghost-boy's hand when he offered it, and found it surprisingly solid and cool.

"Hello, I'm Clovis," the ghost-boy greeted. "And I'm not a ghost. It's called an ectoplasmic spector of awesome!"

Keith smirked at the words and the way the boy flexed his arms. Acxa nodded to him, amused as well.

"Well, to answer your question, you're on the Chaos," Zak said, probably referring to the ship. "And inside the Bermuda Triangle."

Keith frowned. "But we were in Arizona just a few minutes ago."

Zak perked up. "You're from America?"

"Well, I am. She was born in space," Keith said, pointing to Acxa.

Caramba cocked his head. "I'm familox with over two thousand racox of alien, but none like you."

"I'm half Galra, half human," Acxa explained. "And you are a Wahoolian, right? I've heard about your technox advancox. Is that suit your inventox?"

Keith blinked at Acxa. What was she saying?

Caramba beamed. "Yes to both questox!"

Keith cocked his head. "I've never met a 'Wahoolian.'"

"Um…" Acxa decided it would not be tactful to mention that the Wahoolians had been scattered across the universe. "There are many races out there."

"True. Wait a second," Keith said, mind backtracking. "How can we be in the Bermuda Triangle? That's just a myth."

"That's what everyone says," Clovis said, sounding bored. "Basically, the Bermuda Triangle is where all things lost eventually end up."

Acxa elbowed Keith. "Told you we were lost."

"We weren't that lost!" Keith sighed. "How do we get out?"

"Uh…" Zak looked away awkwardly. "Right now… you can't."

"What?"

"No one gets out of the Bermuda Triangle," Clovis said, way too seriously for such a little kid. "People get in, but they don't. Get. Out."

"Still creepy," Zak said.

Clovis grinned, then vanished in a puff of smoke and a farting sound. Zak shook his head with a fond grin, then turned back to the siblings.

"My crew is finding the seven Waypoints. Calabrass is the only one who can unlock them, and then we can all go home."

"How long will that take?" Acxa asked, getting nervous.

"We have been working at it for two months," Cece said. "We have unlocked two so far."

"So… That's…" Keith shook his head. "Everyone will be worried."

Zak's cheery expression faded. "I know. My dad's probably worried sick about me. He knows I'm trying to get home, but… And Cece's got a whole kingdom to go back to, Caramba's got his colony, and apparently Crogar has about ten siblings. I'm not sure about Clovis, but he's got to have someone."

"Ah, quit yer mopin!" Calabrass grumbled. "A finer crew I have yet to see, and it will take no time in gettin' to the final Waypoints!"

Clovis abruptly shot out of the floor. "Not to interrupt, but we have a problem."

"What's that?" Zak asked.

"The Demoniac!"

Everyone whirled in the direction that Clovis was pointing. A large ship made of dark metal was cutting quickly through the waves. The new ship also had a skull-looking front, but it seemed much more sinister with its red glowing eyes.

"Golden Bones," Zak growled. "Can't we get a moment's peace to show some newcomers around for once?"

"I do not think Golden Bones cares, Zak Storm," Cece said.

Zak smirked. "I know. Chaos, full speed!"

The siblings were startled when the kids' ship gave a rumble. Engines on the back roared to life, and the ship sped off. Zak ran up to the empty helm and grabbed on.

"We have skeletons incoming!" Clovis called, pointing toward skeletal pterodactyls ridden by skeletons with metal armor swooping overhead.

"Caramba, get below. Everyone else, defend the Chaos!" Zak yelled. He looked at Keith and Acxa. "Can you two fight?"

In response, the siblings grabbed their Marmoran blades and formed their swords. Acxa's blade had a similar form to Keith's, but slightly longer and slimmer.

Zak grinned. "Whoa!"

Crogar took a hunk of metal with a bone handle from his back. The metal opened up and expanded, revealing itself to be a wing of an airplane! From behind her back, Cece pulled a ray gun with extensions that were reminiscent of a crossbow and Clovis pulled a ball and chain from out of nowhere. Caramba, sporting a distressed look on his digital "face," ran through a door on the deck.

"Here they come!"

Cece shot down a pair of the pteros, but three more dove toward the ship. Crogar struck one, Clovis hit another, and Keith and Acxa attacked the final from both sides. The pteros broke into pieces, throwing their riders into the sea.

"Good-" Zak broke off. "Prepare to be boarded!"

Keith whipped around to see a trio of metal hovercrafts alongside the Chaos. Skeletons leaped onto the side of the ship and scrambled up to the deck.

Keith, Acxa, and the crew attacked the skeletons, methodically smashing them into bits. Keith and Acxa soon learned that the skeletons could put themselves back together, so they tried to hurl them off the ship.

Keith was grappling with a skeleton, when a yell from Zak made him look up. A ptero was diving down on him!

"Calabrass, give me the Eye of Blazz!" Zak yelled, leaping over the helm.

Keith shoved the skeleton away, but knew he wouldn't be quick enough for the ptero. He braced himself, then something blasted through the ptero in a blaze of fire. The ptero and skeleton rider fell to the deck, and Keith's rescuer landed on the deck in a crouch.

It was Zak. His shoes had changed to a vibrant red and a lenses in his bandana glowed red. His left arm was covered in layered black and red armor, and Calabrass' blade was on fire. Calabrass' eyes had become orange.

"Woah!" Keith said. "Where can I get a sword like that?"

"I'll trade ya," Zak said.

"Now just hang on a barrel blasted minute!" Calabrass demanded.

Zak laughed. "I'm kidding. No one else could put up with your mouth, anyway."

Another wave of skeletons cut off the conversation. Keith dodged away, and found himself back-to-back with Acxa.

"This is crazy," Acxa said, kicking a skeleton. "We have to get back home."

"You heard the kid. We might not anytime soon." Keith slashed a skeleton in half.

"I'm blaming you."

Keith shoved a skeleton over the railing. "Excuse me?!"

"If you hadn't gotten us lost, we wouldn't be in this mess!"

"We have to lose the Demoniac!" Zak yelled. He was back to normal and bolting for the helm again. "Chaos, bear port into those rocks!"

"Left to the rocks," Keith murmured. His head jolted up. "Wait, I know where we were!"

The Chaos abruptly swung to the left. Keith was thrown off balance. He knocked into Acxa, and the siblings stumbled toward the railing.

"Keith! Acxa!" Zak yelled.

Before the crew could make a move, the siblings hit the railing and tumbled over. They hit the water with a large splash.

It took Keith only a second to get his bearings and swim for the surface. He surged out of the water, and Acxa did the same a second later.

"Zak!" Keith yelled, eyes blinking free of the water. "We're right… back where we started?"

Acxa looked at Keith, then noticed the silence. She looked around and realized that they were floating in the pond that they had first fallen into.

The siblings stared around for a moment, then paddled to the edge and pulled themselves out of the water.

"What happened?" Keith asked after a few minutes.

Acxa, having already thought it through, answered slowly and uncertainly. "Clovis said that all things lost end up in the Bermuda Triangle."

"We weren't lost," Keith muttered.

Acxa ignored him. "Well, once you realized where we were at back here, we weren't lost anymore, right?"

Keith snorted, but it made an odd amount of sense. He shook out his wet hair and stood with a sigh.

"I hope they were alright," Keith said.

Acxa stood as well. "You know, something tells me that they will be just fine."
