Zak continued to practice his powers, still not used to having them back. Months had passed since he'd last faced Argost, which made it hard to believe the yeti was still alive. If he was alive, he would have announced it with episodes of Weird World, which he hadn't.

Zak sighed, and released the cryptid he had been controlling. It scurried away into the bushes. People nearby screamed.

"Zak, is something wrong?" Drew asked, even though he hadn't been acting weird. Except for releasing a shunka warakin.

"Nothing, Mom." Zak answered. He looked around. "You really think Tsul'Kalu is here?"

"Well, the local sightings say so." Drew sighed. More people were screaming. "Zak, what did you do?"

"I might have released a western dire wolf on some people."

The people screamed even more. "And why did you release a shunka warakin on the locals?"

"Hey, maybe it'll attract Tsul'Kalu." Zak pointed out.

"That is the most ridiculous thing you've ever said." Drew announced. But then Tsul'Kalu came flying over the bushes and the screaming increased. "I stand corrected. That was true, but that-- that was just weird. You can handle yourself, right?"

"What, why are you asking?" Zak wondered.

"Because you set it on the people, you're grounded. So you're not participating this time." Drew replied, to Zak's disappointment. She went over to join the big foot.

"Oh, come on!" Zak exclaimed. He used his Kur powers and brought several nearby cryptids together. "Well, at least that works."

When he released the cryptids though, he unconsciously caused them to go join the shunka warakin, which he didn't know until his mom called him.

"Zak! Get over here!"

"Oops." Zak apologized.

"'Oops' nothing! Just get them under control!" Drew shouted. She was fighting off the shunka warakin. Tsul'Kalu was fighting off some of the other cryptids.

"Okay, okay, don't start yelling about it."

Zak's eyes started glowing orange. The cryptids backed away. They all began to roar and squawk. "Zak, what are you doing?!" Drew exclaimed.

"I-I don't know what they're doing!" Zak stuttered. His eyes were still glowing.

"But aren't you controlling them?!"

The cryptids began to attack the people again, all with their eyes glowing orange. "Do you think I'd be doing this? Something's going on!"

"Just keep trying!"

"I can't!" Zak cried. Suddenly the cryptids went crazy.

"Then maybe it's time you stop!"

"You think I'm not trying?!" Zak moaned. "What are you talking about?"

"Zak, who are you talking to?" Drew asked. He didn't seem to hear her.

"What are you talking about, trespassers? The people?" Zak asked. "Not the people? Then who..."

"Zak, what's wrong?" Drew pestered. Zak was listening intently, but not to her.

"Not the people, so what?" Zak repeated. Then he figured it out. "Is it another cryptid? Which one?"

All the cryptids were growling, squawking, and roaring. "Very good." a familiar someone clapped. "You've figured out that much."

"Oh no, you really are alive?" Zak exclaimed. The animals roared.

"Zak?" Drew called. He still didn't hear her.

"Greetings and bienvenue, world." Argost stepped out. "I'm back!"

"Argost..." Zak didn't hear his mom murmur the yeti's name. He didn't hear anything she said.

"Why do you always say 'bienvenue'? Are we walking into your house or something?" Zak wondered.

"Oh, it may not make sense today, but one day, it will." Argost cackled.

"Argost," Drew mumbled. "How much bloodshed will it take for you to give up?"

"As much as you want, to bring at me, that is. Kur or not, the world will be mine."

"Not likely." Zak's eyes glowed, and the cryptids rose. Argost smiled.

"You're are becoming more and more Kur. Is destroying some one the way you go?"

Zak released the cryptids. "Zak, what are you doing?" Drew questioned.

"If you kill some one, you're just as bad as that person, remember? Killing Argost would be just like killing all those people." Zak pointed out. "Argost may be horrible, but it's still killing."

"You'll wish that you did the other choice soon." Argost laughed, and left.
