Here's the first chapter. This chapter talks about how the family gets separated. This Chapter is short and I'll do my best to make the other chapters longer. Please enjoy and you may leave a comment if you want to.

Chapter 1 Separated

It was an early morning. The Saturdays were preparing for a flight in one of their aircrafts. Doc has received an emergency message about an important artifact floating in the ocean. Drew seemed to think that it was important to retrieve it before Arogost got to it. Zak and Fiskerton were pretty cranky when boarding the aircraft.

"Mom, its Saturday. Why do we have to get up so early?" asked Zak

"There's an important artifact we have to get to before Arogost does," replied Drew

"The artifact could have appeared during my school lessons, but no."

"You would like that wouldn't you? Now come on, there's no need to keep your father waiting."

Fiskerton just grumbled. He can't really talk, but he can say a few words. Zak understands what Fiskerton is saying most of the time. They understand each other's feelings. Zak pat Fiskerton's arm.

"I know Fisk, I'm tired too," he said

Komodo watched them board the airship and he quickly followed. When Zak and Fiskerton sat down in their seats, Doc was looking on the tracking device for the artifact. Zak likes doing things with his parents, but when it comes to his sleeping in on the weekend, he draws the line.

"How come I can't stay home?" asked Zak

"Yeah," said Fiskerton

"Last time we left you boys alone, that metal mouth freak broke in the house and tried to eat Fisk," said Doc

"But dad, I wasn't expecting that to happen. Fisk and I were just trying to have fun."

"Alright Zak, that's enough. You're coming and that's that."

"We're sorry if this ruined your weekend sleep in, but this is something we have to do," said Drew

Zak didn't say anymore. He sat back in his chair with his arms folded. Fiskerton tried to cheer him up, but nothing was working. Komodo was playing with his toy ball. He loved that toy. Fiskerton tried to play with Komodo, but Komodo wanted to play alone so Fiskerton did other things. The Saturdays took off in the air and was headed for the ocean. About an hour later, they found the artifact. It was on a wooden board and was wrapped up.

"This is a little strange," said Drew

"What's strange?" asked Doc

"Well think about it, isn't the artifact supposed to be heavier than the floating board."

"You're right. I'll go down and check it out and if it's okay, I'll bring it up."

"Be careful."

Doc put on his aqua outfit and jumped into the ocean. Zak jumped from his chair and watched from the window. Fiskerton was making curious grunts.

"I agree Fisk. This does seem fishy," said Zak

Zak and Fiskerton rushed over to Drew. By the time they reached her, Doc was coming aboard with the artifact. Drew took it and carried it to the table. Zak and Fiskerton followed while Doc was removing his aqua suit. Drew carefully unwrapped the artifact. She was shocked to see that it was a piece of the map. Doc came over and looked at it.

"I can't believe it's another piece to the map. I guess we got lucky," he said

"But still seems strange that Arogost wasn't here," said Zak

"This could be a fake," said Drew

Suddenly something jumped out of the wraps. It was a tiny tube that transformed into a screen. On the screen was Arogost himself. Drew dropped the artifact, but Zak caught it and held onto it.

"Brace yourselves," said Doc

"No need to get excited Saturdays. The artifact is real. I just wanted to thank you for risking your life in retrieving it. When you grabbed it, you awoke the bomb in the ocean. Too bad you won't live to see me taking that artifact piece," chuckled Arogost

Doc grabbed the video tube and threw it out of the airship.

"We need to get out of here!" he yelled

But it was too late, the bomb set off and caught the airship. The airship exploded. Zak was still holding onto the artifact when the explosion attacked the airship. The explosion blew the airship in half and sent it flying in different directions. Everything blacked out. There was nothing.

TO BE CONTINUED

This is the end of Chapter One. Don't worry, nobody dies in this story. I thought I should point that out because of how this chapter ended. The next chapter should be up soon and I hope you look forward to it. See ya later.
