"Do you think your cryptid influencing powers can handle this?" Drew asked her children as they saw a frog-like creature swallow an insect.
"A frog?" Zak chuckled to his mother.
"I think they can handle a frog." Megan said.
"Every cryptid is different, Megan," Drew told her. "There's still so much we don't know about this... 'Thing' that Zak and Whitney can do."
"It's a controlled experiment," Doc smiled to his wife. "They've gotta test these abilities sooner or later."
"Dad has a point." Whitney agreed with her father.
"For safety reasons though, most of us should get behind a tree or bush." Cherry said.
"Oh, Cherry, it's just a frog..." Doc replied.
"Yes, but your children are unpredictable these days, Solomon," Cherry replied with a light smirk. "It's better this way than someone else getting hurt."
The other teenagers were soon seen behind trees.
"So Zak and Whitney have powers?" Akito smiled. "Awesome!"
"What kind of powers?" Lee asked.
"Zak can usually have creatures such as cryptids do whatever he wants," Drew replied. "Almost like the Pokemon Princess able to command Pokemon whether trained or wild."
"Amazing." Akito said.
"And Whitney can make your ears bleed just by calling your name." Zak teased with a smirk.
"I doubt that." Tony said.
"Remember, The Hand of Tsul Kalu is just an artifact," Drew told her son. "A tool to help you focus. See, you're the one with the power."
"Be careful." Whitney warned her brother.
Zak nodded and soon took the artifact while approaching the frog.
"This should be easy." Megan said.
"Find your center, let your instinct tell you when-" Drew began to instruct.
"Mom," Zak cut her off. "I got it."
Megan looked a little nervous and worried, though she did her best to keep her cool. Zak's eyes soon glowed with the artifact as he came closer toward the frog.
'Was his power that light that I saw?' Megan thought to herself.
The Saturday family looked excited and thrilled for Zak as he did what he needed to do, though Komodo was more hungry than anything else.
"Not food!" Drew scolded the family pet.
"Aww..." Komodo muttered.
"Sorry, Komodo, but the frog isn't food." Whitney cooed.
"This looks pretty good, Mr. and Mrs. Saturday." Marc commented.
"I'd say so," Doc agreed. "I think we've identified another cryptid. Nicely done, Zak."
"Oh, you like that, huh?" Zak smirked smugly. "Zak Saturday working the Cryptid Powers! Frog on, frog off, frog on, frog off!"
"Oy vey." Whitney groaned.
"Please don't play with that." Doc told Zak.
Zak continued anyway and Whitney soon smacked the back of his head to make him stop. "Ow!" The boy then complained.
Whitney smirked.
"Why, you?!" Zak glared.
"Stop it, you two." Doc scolded his children.
"Yes, Dad." The Saturday siblings said.
Doc nodded to them. Megan hid a small giggle.
"I'd like to measure the wounds on that glow," Doc told Zak. "Think you can keep that going, Zak?"
"No problem." Zak smiled so that his father could take a closer look.
"Don't push The Hand of Tsul Kalu too hard," Drew cautioned. "Mythical objects can be an unstable thing."
"Mom's right." Whitney said.
"It's okay, guys, I know-" Zak told his mother and sister.
"Careful with the tongue, Zak," Doc warned his son as he did his work. "Its saliva is highly toxic."
"Zak looks a little pressured." Tony commented.
"No kidding." Marc said.
Zak was indeed pressured by both his parents and he was even sweating intensely. The frog soon began to bloat.
"Uh, is that supposed to happen?" Lee asked.
"Break it off, it's too much!" Whitney told her brother.
Fisk tried to join in.
"Guys!" Zak replied. "Really, I got it!"
More and more bloated frogs seemed to suddenly appear.
"Uh-oh..." Megan gulped.
Komodo soon turned invisible and everyone ran away from the frog swarm. Megan yelped as she tripped and fell. Lee was just about to go and save her, but to his surprise, Zak actually did it, and where that was a good sign.
"This way!" Cherry told the others.
Everyone soon joined the Saturday family as they made their escape all together.
"I just had to have a brother." Whitney groaned.
"Oh, no, the W.O.O.H.P jet!" Marc gasped.
"Don't worry, we might come back." Tony told him coolly.
There was soon a beeping from Doc's wrist.
"That's from home." Doc told the others.
"Is that a jet?" Whitney asked as she saw the W.O.O.H.P jet flying on its own and was flying to the teens.
"That's our jet!" Akito and Estelle replied in unison.
"But how is it flying?" Lee asked.
"Your jet is flying on its own?" Cherry asked her niece and nephews out of confusion.
"I have no idea how, Jerry must have put an upgrade in it." Akito said.
"Typical Jerry..." Cherry rolled her eyes slightly. "Where was he when Mystery Inc was going downhill since Velma became bitter?"
"Aw, come on, Maman, Velma wasn't that bad, was she?" Felicity asked.
"She wasn't very nice to Shaggy and Scooby when we went to comic con and met The Blue Falcon." Cherry replied.
"That bad?" Vincent asked.
"I just couldn't believe Velma Dinkley could be so cruel." Cherry sighed in memory of that.
"What did she do?" Lee asked.
"She just made fun of people who like comic books and thought they were a waste of time." Cherry replied.
"Yikes." The teenagers said before jumping into the jet.
CRASH!
"Ooh, that didn't feel so good." Marc groaned.
"Oh, great, it's ruined." Felicity deadpanned, sounding a lot like her mother right then and there.
"I'm sorry about your jet, but we must return home." Drew told the Amazing Spiez.
"Please, take us with you." Megan begged.
"That would probably be for the best, Drew." Cherry agreed.
"Well... All right..." Drew gave in. "You guys can come to our homebase."
"Thank you, Mrs. Saturday." Estelle smiled.
"My pleasure." Drew smiled back.
"Cool, is it a break in?" Zak asked.
"You know the rules, Zak." Whitney smirked to her brother.
"Dang it." Zak groaned.
"Aw, man!" Fisk mumbled.
They soon all rode off together to get down to business.
"This place looks nice." Megan said.
"I'm glad you think so, Megan," Drew smiled. "We're a family of course."
"True." Cherry nodded.
Once they got inside the homebase, there were invaders. Zak, Whitney, and Fisk were forced to stay inside the air craft while Doc and Drew fought the invaders since it was too dangerous for the children, even if they were teenagers.
"Man, your dad's an awesome fighter," Akito smiled. "I'd like to see him against Dad someday."
"Maybe that can be arranged." Zak smirked.
"The problem is trying to find a way to get Dad here." Estelle said.
'Drew, you're looking hot as ever~' A mook tried to flirt with the white-haired woman.
"Who is that?" Megan asked.
"Just some crony from one of our greatest enemies." Zak scoffed.
"I wish we could help Mom and Dad, but they think it's too dangerous for us." Whitney told the others.
"Let's help them out." Akito said.
"But Mom said to stay right here." Whitney replied.
"Okay, Whitney, you stay here and be a wet blanket while we help Mom and Dad." Zak smirked.
Fisk laughed in agreement with Zak.
"Wait up." Whitney groaned.
"Zak Saturday to the rescue!" Zak called out before coming to the rescue with the others only to see the bad guys were gone and the house was nearly in shambles.
Doc and Drew slightly glared to their children.
"Oh..." Zak replied. "What? You knew we weren't gonna stay in the air ship."
"It was his idea, I wanted to stay behind, but he tried to twist my arms!" Whitney blamed her brother.
"Gee, thanks." Zak deadpanned.
"Is anything broken?" Felicity asked.
"We'll be all right, but thank you, Felicity." Doc told her as they soon rearranged the furniture.
"How many enemies do you have?" Lee asked the Saturday family.
"Heh, that's a good question," Zak replied as he helped his sister move the couch back up on the floor. "So, any idea what Van Rook and his new sidekick were after? Pretty bold to attack us at home, don't ya think?"
"It must be something big to attack us at home." Whitney agreed with her brother.
"Don't try and change the subject, you're still in trouble here." Drew firmly told her son.
"I'm just trying to be part of the team!" Zak defended.
"You and your sister aren't our partners, Zak, you're our children," Drew replied. "And I must say bringing you both into mercenaries with fist fights don't exactly win Parent of the Year awards."
"She's right." Whitney said.
"Mom, Dad, come on," Zak frowned. "These guys get to go on missions, besides, Dad, talk to Mom, you're the one wanting me to test my abilities."
"Well, that's true." Doc had to agree with his son.
"And how else will they be able to test their abilities?" Cherry asked.
Drew sent a slight glare to Cherry and her husband.
"Uh, I'm 100% with Drew on this one," Doc said nervously. "There's a clear line between adventure and danger, and I kinda wanna keep the kids on the safe side of that line."
"You coward," Cherry scoffed. "The Fudo kids have been on adventures for a long time, I've felt it deep inside of them since Atticus called me at 3:00 in the morning to tell me that Mo was pregnant that they would have kids with a thirst and hunger for adventure and solving mysteries just like we did."
"Really?" Drew asked.
"Trust me, Drew," Cherry replied. "Besides, didn't you let Zak and Whitney help you fight against those snakes?"
"The Kalmykian Snakes were different," Doc defended. "We didn't know they exploded."
"Yeah, but we handled it," Zak told his father. "I'm not saying I wanna go looking for trouble, I just think Whitney and I are ready to do what you guys do. You know, fight the bad guys, save the world, these guys are our age and they're Amazing Spiez."
"He's right." Whitney said.
The alarm soon went off.
"We'll talk about it." Doc said before running off.
"Talk about what?" Drew told her husband. "Talk about they're thirteen and eleven!"
"Wait, what?" Megan asked.
They soon all went into a secret room to see where the call from danger had come from.
"It's Doc," Doc told the call. "Answer."
A holographic image of a woman in a coat appeared.
'Oh, thank heavens you all came.' The woman replied.
"Who's the lady?" Tony asked.
"A family friend," Whitney replied. "Dr. Grey."
"Miranda, what happened?" Drew asked.
The woman then showed that her home had nearly been destroyed in the Frozen Tundra.
"What happened?" Megan asked as she cupped her mouth as that looked quite horrible.
"What didn't happen?" Dr. Grey complained. "I'm not all right either! My home's been destroyed by bad people!"
Zak, Whitney, and Fisk all looked curious.
"Care to explain?" Cherry asked. "Because that could be anyone that's evil."
"I've called earlier and I've left several messages." Dr. Grey replied.
"You did?" Cherry asked. "But it's been quiet all day."
"Let me take a look..." Doc replied before he tapped into the screen and saw that the service had been filled up with DVR recordings of a series called Weird World.
"Zak, you left the DVR on recording?!" Whitney glared at her brother.
"Uh, that's for research?" Zak smiled nervously as he took out the remote to select an episode.
"How?" Akito asked.
Zak then used the remote to put on an episode.
"Riveting..." Whitney deadpanned to her brother.
"It looks interesting." Megan said.
"Hey, thanks." Zak smiled to her.
Megan smiled back to him.
"You're gonna ruin Mom and Dad with your meddling!" Whitney huffed. "You're such a meddling kid! I can't believe you're older than me by two years!"
"I never would have guessed." Tony said.
An evil someone soon came onto the show and whipped the camera as the screen was then turned off.
"Huh?" Marc asked.
"That doesn't seem normal." Felicity commented.
"It's saved under Favorites." Drew told her son about him recording his TV show in place of important calls for them all.
"Well, maybe research is my favorite." Zak folded his arms with a pout.
"Doc, check for satellites." Cherry told the Saturday man of the family.
"Why does he need to check for satellites?" Tony asked.
"To check out the site of where Miranda is." Cherry replied.
"I can't read any." Doc told the gothic woman.
"That means you'll have to go in person then." Cherry then told Drew and Doc.
"Then what are we waiting for?" Megan asked.
"Be careful." Miranda warned the Saturday family.
"Hey, it's us." Zak smirked casually.
"You're taking the children along with-" Miranda was about to ask.
"No," Drew told her. "I did not say-"
"We're going!" Whitney cheered.
"Sorry, Dr. Grey, gotta go!" Zak said as he hung up on Miranda before running off. "Come on, people, action time!"
"They remind me of a very edgy Ben and Gwen Tennyson." Akito commented to himself in a Slappy Squirrel fashion about the Saturday siblings.
"They sure do." Estelle said
"I guess you have no choice, Drew." Cherry told her old friend.
Drew sighed sharply as she still wasn't sure about taking the kids along for the adventure.
"I'm sure everything will be fine." Lee said.
"Come on then." Drew replied.
"Adventure time." Cherry said.
"Ooh, thank you, Maman!" Felicity beamed and hugged her mother. "Thank you! And Akito, Estelle, and Vincent said you were cold and unfeeling even though you were their favorite aunt!"
"Really...?" Cherry lowered her glasses with an icy smirk toward the Fudo siblings.
"We were just kidding." Akito smiled nervously.
"Yeah, it was just a joke," Estelle added. "Um... Duck from the Loonatics taught it to us."
"Yeah, it was Duck's idea." Vincent helped out.
"Hmm..." Cherry hummed slightly to her niece and nephews.
All three of the Fudo siblings smiled widely.
"Hit the road." Cherry told the others.
"Phew!" The Fudo siblings breathed in relief.
"If I wanted a wacky smart aleck to go on an adventure with, I'd call Ace Ventura: Pet Detective." Cherry muttered in slight deadpan.
"What was that?" Felicity asked.
"What was what, enfante?" Cherry replied.
"I thought I heard you mutter something." Felicity said.
Cherry rolled her eyes as she then repeated herself and spoke up, though she hated repeating herself. "If I wanted a wacky smart aleck to go on an adventure with, I'd call Ace Ventura: Pet Detective."
"Why?" Felicity asked.
"Oh, like you don't know about Ace Ventura." Cherry smirked.
Felicity simply blinked.
"No time, we gotta get going." Cherry interrupted her daughter's thoughts about her bringing up Ace Ventura.
"Agreed." Akito said.
