An Unleashing Collection

Chapter 12

Zak was slowly brought down to the hole and he landed at the edge. He was wearing a diving suit, though more advanced then modern day ones also it was orange and it din't have those flipper things, and he had a comunicating devise in his ear.

"Zak?" The 13-year-old heard his mom's voice from the comunicator.

"Yeah?" He replied.

"Are you ready to go down?" She asked.

"Well whats the danger down there?" He scoffed. He looked down to see the water.

It was crystal blue but also clear. Zak could see fish swimming around, no sharks, no sting rays, no giant crabs, he saw some stilagmites and stilagtites and also some colems, some bushy green stuff latching on to the bottom floor and on to the sides of some colems.

"Zak there are many dangers down there. There are small spaces where it can be hard to get through. There could be a chance that your suit will rip if you squize through one."

"I'll be fine mom." The white and black haired teen replied and then grabbed onto the rope jumping down into the water. The water covered him and all that surrounded him was few fish, seweed, colems, stalagmites, stalagtites, and such. He began to swim around, swerving at corners, ducking under low hanging rocks, passing by fish, and looking at wierd creatures that lived underwater for many centuries. Zak looked around and spotted something in the distance, it seemed to sprakle and have many tails. Wait! Tails! He raced over to the hole only to see the figure now gone. He sighed.

"Zak? What happened?" Drew asked.

"Nothing. Just thought I saw something." He replied beginning to squize inside the hole.

"Well just be careful. Watch out for those holes too." She warned.

"Wait! Holes?" Zak pushed himself backward but got stuck. Crap! He thought as he wrestled trying to get out of the tightening sides of stone. It seemed to grow smaller and smaller the longer he tried to get free. He heard a crack and then a rip. He gasped when water entered his helmet. He pulled forward trying to get out of the hole. He made it but the sharp stone teared his helmet off of him. He dug his headphone away from his ear since it was an electracle object and held his breath. He knew that he wouldn't last long so he just swam ahead. Couple minutes later his lungs groaned for air and Zak was losing his will to keep his mouth shut. He was just swaying there in the water enveloped habitat. He could see the light of the sun from some openings on the top of the roof but it wasn't big enough for him to even stick his head in maybe even his nose. Or maybe he was just drifting away from it to the bottom. Wether or not he did not know. Something approached him at a fast speed. He couldn't see what it was. Only that is was small, furry, but also feathery. It also another being behind it as well as furry but this time leathery. Its colors were smeared in black, red, sapphire blue, dark blue, with a tint of brown. Zak's lungs coulnd't take it any longer and his mouth opened making him choke in the water and bubbles to fly up to the surface of the water. He coughed but helplessly. The figures went faster and the last thing Zak could see was light blue caring eyes staring at him and something cold touching his nose. Then everything went black.


Zak eyes fluttered open and he gasped while lifting his upper body up only to come into cantact with hard rock. He rubbed his head muttering to himself of the pain.

"Hey! Your awake!" A blue head appeared from an opening.

He looked at it closely and found out that it was like the head of a fox with sapphire blue eyes with the look of twinkling stars in them. Black fur with six tails that had the same pattern as with a blue tip with two more blue stripes and then the final a brown one. Her paws were dark blue and she had brown tipped ears.

"Nii-san! The gaijins is awake!"

'Nii-san'? A black head plopped through the opening while the other exited. This one looked male. He had red eyes with red tipped ears and two tails that were red tipped and red paws and had one streak of red on his muzzle. He looked calm and his eyes seemed half way closed like they had been like that for a long time. Though he didn't look tired at all. He smiled, dispite his appearance he seemed friendly.

"Yo!" He said and then walked away.

Zak crawled out of the the opening and then looked around. They were in a cave but it was only big enough for four 13-year-olds as much as Zak could guess. He looked at both of the two fox creatures then finally had seen what was sprouting from their backs. The black one with blue had angel like wings, white feathers that looked as soft as clouds but as powerful has an eagles. The black one with red had frightening dragon/bat-like wings, leathery webbings and a red base with black fingers.

"Um. . . ." Zak said as he gaped.

"What is it gaijin?" Said the black and red one.

"I was going to ask if you would tell me why you have wings but I'd rather know your names first."

"Oh. Well I'm Aaron." Said the black and red one know known as Aaron.

"And I'm Kaylee!" Said the black and blue one cheerfully. "Now."

The red and black one joined with her. "You."

"Have."

"To."

"Tell."

"Us."

"Your."

"Name."

"Gaijin."

To Zak it was like a full sentence rather then different cryptids saying it. "I-I'm Zak. Mind if I ask another question?"

"Hmm?" Grunted Aaron as Kaylee sat down beside Aaron, "Shoot."

"Well four questions accually?"

"Go on." Aaron stared at him.

"Can you turn into human form? Why are you living in a cave alone together? Are you two twins or just brother and sister? How old are you both?" Zak asked and Aaron answered the first one simply.

"Yes, in fact we can, we just do not wish to right now."

Kaylee answered the next one solemnly, "Our parents were killed in the night and since others feared us we were chased out of our village and so we came to this cave and hunted around. We have stayed here for four years."

Aaron answered the next, "We are nii-san and onee-chan but not twins." Zak raised up his hand and Aaron roughly said, "We are part japanese so it is hard to prounounce some words, mostly ones that include family members, thats mostly all. Onne-chan means sister as nii-san means brother." He struggled with the english meanings and Zak put his hand down.

Kaylee did the last question, "I am nine and my brother is eight. Now its time for our questions. How old are you?"

"Thirteen."

Aaron spoke up, "Where is your family? Are they dead too?"

"No their not dead but they must be worried sick about me."

Kaylee's turn, "Why were you in the river tunnel?"

"Searching for, should I say, the Nine Collection members. It was said that you two are two of the nine members."

Aaron sighed, "Our parents told us about how we were part of something called a 'Nine Colection' but didn't tell us anything else."

"Then I guess I can tell you and maybe show you who I really am. But we not show me your human forms first?" Zak suggested.

"Alright!" Kaylee hopped to her feet and Aaron lazily got up.

The fox cryptid began to morph into a girl about up to his shoulder. She had black hair with a blue tint. She was wearing a blue shirt that said 'PEACE' on it and then she had normal half-jeans half normal pants that were white also she had black shoes. Aaron turned into a boy about the same size but he had a tooth pick in his mouth with a red shirt with black sleeves that were only down to his shoulder. He had his hands in his pockets of his blue jeans, not to shaggy, not to tight. He had black hair as well but it covered half of his left red eye and it had the ens of each strane were lightish red. He had white shoes.

"Whoa, cool." Zak smiled and then high-fived Aaron.

"Yep." He responded then sat down again with his legs crossed, Kaylee did the same.

Zak smiled like an idiot and scratched the back of his head. "Guess I have to tell you then. I'm Kur." He said flatly. They both blinked and yawned.

"Who dat?" Aaron asked placing his lazy eyes on Zak.

"Its a ancient evil sumerian cryptid who can control cryptids to do his whim . . . I mean my whim. Hahaha!" Zak laughed.

Aaron jumped in front of his sister protectively and growled.

Zak stared at him harmlessly then said simply, easing the mood down from its tension, "I'm not evil and I wont control either one of you. Whats the whole point if I want to be good?" Aaron eased off and then sat back down calmly.

"So," Kaylee asked, "What were you looking for us for?"

"I wanted you to join my family. Theres this evil mad man named V.V. Argost trying to capture all of the Nine Collection for something evil, well duh, but he already has one and shes a real good friend to me too. We're planning to rescue her but we need to get everyone of the Nine Collection before Argost does. Will you?"

"You just want us to join your family? Just like that? I think we'd have to meet them first." Aaron scoffed.

"Well then we'd have to go look for them." Zak said plainly.

"Fine." Aaron grunted then got up and put his hands in his pockets. "Alright. Lets go." He began to walk toward the exit that Zak had never noticed and exited the cave. Zak and Kaylee follwed him.
