Chapter 6 is finally up. Sorry that it took awhile. I was also told that I was misspelling Argost's name. Silly me. Anyways, I have been a little busy. Zak is now in the hands of Argost. Will he be rescued by his parents or will Argost succeed in getting the Kur Stone? Read and find out. Enjoy!
Chapter 6 Zak's Cryptid Powers
Inside Argost's dark castle, he kept Zak hostage in a big room. The room was pretty creepy. (Let's just say it looked like one of the rooms from the Haunted Mansion ride at Disneyland.) Zak was tied to a chair and was struggling to get free. Argost walked in the room and approached Zak.
"Don't struggle so much young Saturday," said Argost
"Let me go! HELP!" yelled Zak
"Yelling isn't going to do you any good so why don't you sit back and watch my new show. Did you know I started my own series?"
Argost put the TV on and Zak just stared at the screen. Argost left the room and went into his chambers to prepare himself for the other Saturdays. Meanwhile, Drew and Doc were in the lab having a conversation with the other scientist on screen; who were involved with the Kur Stone 5 years ago.
"I can't believe that happened to you guys," one of them said
"Who knew Argost would stoop this low," said another
"We have to find a way to keep that Kur Stone safe and getting Zak back at the same time," said Drew
"We just don't know what to do. We need help," said Doc
"Maybe you can just go and attack," replied one of the scientist
"That's what Argost wants us to do. We have to think of a way to get Zak out of there," said Drew
The conversation continued for about an hour until they all agreed on a plan. It might fail, but it will give the Saturdays a chance to get to find Zak. Around 2:00 in the morning, Doc and Drew supplied themselves with weapons and other stuff and they were on their way to Argost's Castle. Around 2:45, they made it. Doc was holding a suitcase. Drew looked at Doc with concern.
"Are you sure this is going to work?" she asked
"It should. Even though there's nothing in here, I can distract Argost with this while you find Zak," said Doc
"Please be careful. I just have a bad feeling in my gut."
"I do too, but this should work for a few minutes."
"Be careful."
Drew kissed him and they both headed inside. Inside, it was dark as they had expected. They pulled out their mini lights so they could see what was in front of them. There were two creepy hallways. Neither of them looked safe, but they knew they had to go through them, so Drew went one way while Doc went another. Doc clutched the suitcase under his arm and continued down the hallway. Suddenly, the lights went on and standing right in front of him was Argost and his henchmen.
"Doesn't anyone knock anymore?" asked Argost
"Where is Zak?" asked Doc
"Oh he's fine for now. Give me the suitcase."
Doc held back and started running down the hallway. He looked behind him and Argost's henchmen were giving chase as planned. It wasn't long until Doc was knocked to the floor and the suitcase fell out of his grasp. Argost picked it up, opened it, and waved the empty suitcase like he just one a million dollars.
"I knew you wouldn't bring it to me. I guess I have no choice, but to feed your family to my creatures," he said
"You wouldn't!" said Doc
"Oh, I will and you'll be next."
Doc got up and fought off the henchmen, but there were too many of them. They grabbed him and forced Doc on his knees. Argost smacked Doc with the empty suitcase and then kicked him. Doc didn't care what would happen to him in this situation. He was hoping that Drew found Zak. Meanwhile, Drew was being chased by Argost's other henchmen. She made it to the second floor that Zak was on. When she couldn't outrun the henchmen, she pulled out her fire sword and attacked. She knocked them all out cold. After she put her sword away, she kept looking for Zak. It wasn't long until she found him.
Drew rushed over and hugged him. Zak was happy to see her. She kissed him a couple of times and tried to untie the knots. She stopped and heard Argost's voice. She looked around and realized that it was only the TV. She pulled her fire sword out and slashed the TV in half.
"Hey, I was watching that!" complained Zak
Drew gave Zak the "what the heck is wrong with you look." Zak turned his head away in shame.
"I'm sorry mom," he said
"It's alright. Lets just get you out of here," said Drew
She continued to untie the knots until she heard the sound of growling. At first, she thought it was Zak's stomach, but she looked around and creatures came out of the shadows and surrounded them. Argost then appeared to them.
"How sweet. A mother rescuing her baby," he said
Drew stood her ground with her fire sword ready to strike. Zak started struggling again and Argost laughed at them.
"Don't think you're getting out of here alive. My creatures aren't that kind," he said
The creatures crept closer and Argost left. He felt that he had accomplished something. He was going to wait until they were all out of the way and then he would find the Kur Stone by stealing the Saturday's research. One creature swiped at Drew, getting her in the leg.
Drew did gasp at the surprise attack. Zak was starting to freak out from the attack.
"Mommy, are you okay?" he asked
"I'll be fine sweetie. I promise I'll get you out of here," said Drew
Another creature tried to swipe at Drew, but this time Drew swung her sword and got the creature right in the mouth, then she blasted fire at the creature that scratched her. The creatures were approaching Zak until they locked their eyes on Drew. They were going after her. The creatures continued to swipe and roar at her. She was suddenly backed into a wall. Drew knew that if she loses anymore fighting space, she's done for. Zak was struggling more than before.
"GET AWAY FROM MY MOMMY," yelled Zak
Suddenly, his eyes started to glow an orange color. The creature's eyes were glowing too. They all walked away from Drew and went towards Zak. Drew couldn't believe what she was seeing. The creatures slashed the ropes off of Zak and then they broke down the door and suddenly run out up to the third floor. The door that leads to the third floor closed behind the creatures. Zak's eyes stopped glowing and he collapsed to the ground. Drew held Zak in her arms.
"Zak, how did you do that?" she asked
"I don't know. I was trying to focus on getting out and then I felt this power inside of me growing," said Zak
"You have Cryptid Powers."
"I have what?"
"Did Argost hurt you or did something to you?"
"All he did was tie me to a chair and made me watch his series, which I find pretty cool."
"ZAK!"
"What?"
"Never mind, let's go find your father and get the heck out of here. Are you able to walk?"
"I think so."
Drew helped Zak to his feet and he walked around in a small pace and felt fine. Drew nodded and she led her son down to the first floor to find Doc. When they came to a weird hallway, they saw the empty suitcase. Drew gasped. She knew that something happened to Doc. Zak didn't get it at all.
"What was in that suitcase anyway?" he asked
"Never mind that. Look for your father," said Drew
Zak looked around until he heard something. Like a moan. Zak showed his mother what he discovered. She placed Zak behind her and she kicked the door down. Inside, was Doc getting beaten up by the henchmen. Drew gasped at the awful sight. Doc looked like he was in pretty bad shape. His vision was starting to get blurry. The henchmen stopped and took charge at Drew. She pulled her fire sword and attacked them. Zak ran ahead and reached his father. Doc's hands were tied together and his body was tied too. Argost had him tied up like a punching bag. Zak tugged on the ropes to set Doc free, but it was no good.
Suddenly, Argost walked into the room. The henchmen walked backwards into the shadows disappearing as if they were magicians. Argost was surprised to see Drew and Zak.
"This isn't possible. How did you escape?" he asked
"You must be a pretty lousy creature trainer," said Drew
Argost growled and took charge at Drew. She jumped and unleashed fire from her sword. She hit Argost in the back and he collapsed to the ground. He seemed to have passed out from Drew's powerful attack. Zak was pretty amazed.
"I didn't know you were that strong mommy," he said
"One thing Argost never learned. Never come between a mother and child," said Drew
"But how did you release so much power?"
"I really don't know Zak. I was only concerned about you and your father."
Drew quickly cut Doc free. He was wounded pretty badly. She and Zak escaped out of Argost's Castle with Doc. By the time they left, Argost woke up and he realized that the Saturdays escaped from his grasp again. He roared with frustration and slammed his fists into the ground. One of the henchmen came in and ran up to Argost.
"Are you alright sir?" he asked
"Don't touch me!" snarled Argost
"The plan failed?"
"Yes, and I can't figure out how little Saturday escaped that room with his mother. Maybe Drew was more powerful than I thought."
"Sir?"
"What are you still doing here? GET OUT!"
The henchman left in a hurry. Argost went to his favorite room and sat in the chair. He tapped his claws together trying to figure out what went wrong. Meanwhile, the Saturdays made it back home. When Fiskerton saw Zak, he jumped on him and gave him a kiss. He was happy again. Drew helped Doc to the couch. Zak and Fiskerton stopped what they were doing and they were looking at Doc.
"Is Daddy going to be okay?" asked Zak
"Yes, he got lucky. Zak please get me the first aid kit," said Drew
Zak went to the bathroom and grabbed the big medical kit. Fiskerton helped him carry it to Drew.
"Thank you boys. Now why don't you get ready for bed," said Drew
"Can I set up a sleeping bag in your room?" asked Zak
After what he's been through, Drew nodded in agreement, but it was for only one night. Zak got his sleeping bag and pillow and Fiskerton followed Zak into his parent's room. Drew cleaned Doc's wound and then bandaged him up. She decided to let Doc sleep on the couch. Before she went to bed, she made sure that Doc was comfortable. Then she went to bed. The house was quiet for awhile, but then Drew was awakened by Zak and Fiskerton climbing on the bed.
"What's wrong?" she asked tiredly
"I had a bad dream. Can I sleep with you?" asked Zak
Fiskerton nodded which meant "Same for me." Drew pulled the blankets up and Zak and Fiskerton climbed in. Drew was actually glad to have Zak with her because it made her feel that she is protecting him and Fiskerton too. It wasn't long until they were all asleep again.
The stars shined and the moon was hiding behind the clouds. Things seemed to be peaceful once again. Doc did wake up a couple of times, but he just fell back to sleep. He knew that he was home again and Zak was safe.
This is the end of Chapter 6. Chapter 7 will be up soon and I hope you look forward to it. Zak is finally safe at home, but what will Argost plan next time? Read and see what happens in the next chapter. See ya later.
