Just one week ago, it had been one year since Brady and Boomer arrived on Kinkow. It had also been one year since Boz decided to make sure Brady would stay on Kinkow, no matter what the cost. The last year has been a wild one, in which he felt a teenager again after five years of peace and order. And he would gladly recall the memories made in the past year. He could still remember clearly how he thought he had lost the kings on their coronation day and all days up until now. If he had to choose a favorite, he'd say there was no favorite, because it would dishonor the other amazingly great days. But the adventure most painful when the king decided to play Junga Ball – he still slightly limped from that wound – and the most joyful was with the plant doubles. Yes, he did remember his own double had probably wanted to kill him and his brothers, but if it weren't for the shenanigans of Adam, Boz would've never known the alternate versions of Brady, Boomer and Mikayla.

At this moment, Boz had gone deep into the jungle and was now talking to the alternate Mikayla, referred to as Kayla from now on. After that adventure, he had visited Kayla a few times and now went every week to update her on what happened at the palace and she informed him about how Brady and Boomer learned to get along. Commoners and Tarantulas don't really mix, but alternate Brady and Boomer lived together for two months, at least, and their behavior towards each other was really improving.

"He really did?" Kayla asked Boz, and Boz nodded. The strawberry blonde was recalling some memory of past week, at their birthday; Boz had been lying in bed with a fever, but he still got his wish fulfilled – you couldn't fool the island with time-travel – and even the kings congratulated him with his birthday.

"Yeah, he just wished for Mikayla to give compliments all day. And I'm glad I didn't have to hear that all the time, it's worse than hearing how Lanny plots schemes against them!" the two laughed, and then a silence followed. You could almost hear how alternate Boomer was practicing his skills in order to be prepared for anything – and this time, he wasn't using Brady as target practice, luckily.

"I want to give you something," Kayla said, and she took some kind of necklace. After she took it of, Boz noticed it was rather small tube with some green liquid in it, just two or three drops of it. Boz had no clue as to what it could be, and just decided to stare at it, hoping Kayla would explain. And she did, as predicted. "This is something Jomun, our Dirt Fairy healer, made us. This is a bit of her potion which heals all sort of wounds when poured on the wound. And since I'm no longer living in fear of my life…" she trailed off and put it in Boz's hands.

He shook his head "You don't have to…" he searched for the right words, "I can't accept it. It's too…"

"Take it. With your Brady and Boomer roaming free, you never know when you need it." Knowing that she probably wouldn't take it back, or wouldn't accept it back, he closed his hand around the tube and placed it in his pocket. Who knows, maybe it could really come in handy in the future. You'd never know with Zadoc almost coming back to life.

"I have one last question," Kayla told her friend, "Why do you trust us so much?"

"What do you mean?" Boz asked her. Kayla shrugged.

"You trusted me and other me with your secret. So why us? Why not somebody else?" Boz sighed. He actually hadn't thought about that. Why trust Mikayla and Kayla with this secret, why couldn't he have picked anybody else to trust? Well, because…

"Because you've already proven yourself to be trustworthy. Before I decided to come here, I asked her that if I would tell her a secret, if she would keep it, and she said yes; plus, I don't trust Lanny at all, Mason will probably spoil it to the kings, who would keep bugging me with stupid questions about the future. You don't ask for it." Kayla nodded – it sounded believable. Boz looked at the watch around his wrist – he bought one just in case – and then looked back up at Kayla. He hated the part where he had to leave her. Kayla immediately knew the look he was giving her.

"You have to go now, haven't you?" Boz nodded.

"Yeah, I gotta go. The kings can arrive at the castle any time now, and they will probably bring lightning bugs with them."

"What! How do they even know about them?" Kayla asked, and Boz looked kind of guilty.

"I might have accidentally told them about it. I see you next week, then!" Boz said as a goodbye, and then swung away to the castle. He always made the weekly goodbye short and quick, since he always hated to go away from her. Yes, he knew that in the castle Mikayla was waiting, but that wasn't the same. He seemed to trust Kayla more than the counterpart he actually grew up with. Where Kayla would know all about what he has done, Mikayla knows only one or two per cent of it: that he was from the future. Kayla knew about Kaita where Mikayla didn't.

When he finally had arrived at the castle, he realized he had been too late to avoid anyone getting hurt. As he entered the palace, he saw Lanny looked like he had been hit by a lightning bolt. On the inside, Boz laughed his head off because of Lanny's new look, and on the outside he looked like he had no idea what was going on. He already went to bed, to his own bed in his own room for a change. He always slept there every evening he had visited Kayla, commoner Brady and Tarantula Boomer.

And that night it wouldn't be any different.

Boz is running.

He does not know why, or where he is going, but he knows that there is something behind him.

Something bad.

Something evil.

And he does not stop running until he falls to the ground, exhausted.

As he opens his eyes, he sees shoes he recognizes as Mikayla's shoes.

He quickly stands back up and makes eye-contact with her.

He does not know what's happening, but he has never seen Mikayla as a girl he would fall for, and yet it feels like it is happening now.

And the look on her face tells him they both want it.

He leans closer to her, and he notices she does the same until their lips meet each other.

As they pull back, Boz suddenly loses all emotion. He feels no love no happiness, no sadness, no fear.

And as he stands there, emotionless, his eyes fall on Mikayla again, who now seems afraid.

Out of nowhere, he draws a small knife and before Mikayla can react, he plunges the knife in her chest.

And without remorse, he watches as she bleeds to death in front of him.

He screamed very loudly when he woke up from that terrible nightmare. He panted and sat straight up in his bed. He cursed loudly and then lay down again. He had been having this dream for a while now, and every time it was the same. And they always came on the day he had visited Kayla. The first time he had it, the kings had been scared because he'd been screaming in his sleep. When he found out when he'd get them, he would sleep in his old bedroom for the comfort of being alone and not disturbing the kings.

Boz hated having dreams like that: not clear, him kissing Mikayla ("Ew, that's just gross!") and a bit later attacking her.

The next morning, Mikayla told the boys they had to be in the throne room at ten o'clock in the morning. And off course Boz would come as well, because she had asked him to be there and never leave the Kings alone anymore. But that was getting a bit difficult; since he had become a guard, he almost always got some tasks he had to fulfill, meaning that he couldn't be with the kings all the time. But whenever he had free time, he would stick with them as long as possible to possibly prevent some events to happen.

"Alright," Mikayla started when the kings were seated on the couch and they were ready to listen, "Because of the lightning bug incident, let's review where on the island you two aren't allowed to go alone." With the pen in her hand, she drew a line around the island of Kinkow, meaning they weren't allowed to go somewhere – anywhere – on the island alone. Boz nodded.

"And we've agreed that I'll stay with you the entire time, whenever I have time." He said, but he noticed the boys didn't listen to him. They had never listened, but he hoped that one day, they would listen. In return, he didn't hear what Brady said about Mikayla. If they wouldn't listen to him, he wouldn't listen to them.

Then, without any warning, Lanny and Mason ran in, both a bit panicky. "Look sharp! The Elders are coming!" he shouted, and threw the map on Mahuma's head (by accident). Boz, not knowing the Elders would visit today, also started to worry about how he looked like. His machete at his left side (he was right-handed) and he looked tidy enough to be in the present of the Elders. While Boz checked himself, Mikayla and Mason explained to the kings how influential and trusted they are, and how they're like their bosses.

"They never bother us unless there's big trouble with the kings!" Lanny added to the conversation, "I guess the finally got my letters." He chuckled, convinced nobody could hear him. But Boz heard, and the monkey-boy had a smile on his lips because of Lanny's comment.

"I guess those letters never even arrived," Boz said. Lanny's letters never arrived at the Elders, because Boz took them. He had no idea what for punishment was given to letter stealing on the mainland, but here on Kinkow you could just do it as long as you had a good reason and you weren't caught. Besides, the kings weren't that bad, although Lanny was very certain they would lead the island to its doom.

Mason put the crowns on their heads and told them to show the Elders some respect when they eventually walked in. Before Boomer could insult them, Boz put a hand on the king's mouth and whispered to him not to call them the big bird, cookie monster and the guy living in the trash can. So Boomer didn't call them that, and Brady welcomed them in the castle (under the pressure of Mikayla) and Mason smiled at them.

"So nice to see you all again!" Mason said them, as enthusiast and polite as possible, "I'm sure you've heard what a wonderful job the kings are doing." The Elders couldn't laugh with that, especially Timothy Kalooka-Khan.

"No more pulling wool over our eyes, Sasquatch!" Timothy told Mason, and Brady and Boomer laughed. If Boz was their age, he would've laughed too, but he had matured and wouldn't laugh at the nickname of their trusted advisor and, over time, one of their good friends.

"He calls you Sasquatch, too!" Boomer laughed. But they stopped when Timothy, the other Elders, practically everyone in the room (except the king) looked at them. "I'm sorry, you were saying?" Boz had already an idea where this was going, and he hoped the kings wouldn't do anything stupid just yet. If they had to do something stupid, then they had to do it when nobody was watching and only they knew what was happening.

"Dark Side is growing." Timothy said, "Come!"

They all walked to the edge of the Dark Side – except for Lanny, who didn't want to tag along and would rather spend time with his weird fish. When they finally arrived, Boz stared at the statue of the first real threat the kings had to face. Zadoc was, after all, the one who brought the Dark Side to life and everything he touched was made evil. Now Boz thought about it, Zadoc could have been the number one threat of the island if it weren't for Kaita. Kaita and Zadoc were the real deal in comparison to Malakai, but still – you couldn't underestimate any of them. And seeing Zadoc here, knowing he'll soon be alive again, was the first step of Brady and Boomer becoming mature.

"I don't know what he's doing," Brady said, "but shouldn't we be giving him some privacy?" Boz turned his head and saw Timothy measuring something in his own strange way. The others might not know what was going on, but Boz did and the young man decided to go stand behind his eight year younger brothers.

"Two feet!" Timothy exclaimed, while he stood back up, "Dark Side grew to feet!" He clearly sounded scared. Boz's eyes widened as well. The Dark Side can grow? Well, he's seen it already when they fought Kaita, but never this slow and never without Kaita. Whatever that caused, it couldn't be good.

"How can that be?" Mason asked, apparently having the same thoughts as Boz… sort of.

The Elder looked at the royal advisor, "It creeps further because of the kings!" Boz frowned. Okay, he could understand the Dark Side growing, because it sort of was a living thing, but he couldn't understand why Timothy would blame his brothers. They didn't do anything wrong. They got into trouble, yes, but that's all.

"That's ridiculous!" Mason exclaimed, "Our Kings are born leaders. They are young heroes on a great journey."

"Dark Side! Light Side! Dark Side! Light Side!" Boz heard Brady say, and he turned his head towards the kings, who were jumping over the fine line between good and evil. Boomer made a comment about tickling, but Boz made an end to it when he grabbed them by their shirts and told them to behave. "You're kings, so you better act like kings. Or, if that's asked too much, behave when these guys are around." He didn't think the kings were listening, but as a guard and their personal bodyguard he had to make sure they were safe, and also that they would behave. He almost missed Mason asking what proof he had for blaming the kings. Seeing them like that, Boz almost started to blame them, too, but he knew them too well to actually blame them.

"Since day they arrived, it creeps. Creeps, I say!" He pointed his finger at the two teenage kings, who weren't even paying attention to these words, which could be very important in the future. Eventually, Brady noticed the Elder was looking at him.

"Wait, are you pointing at us?" he asked the respected man, "because your finger is way too crooked to tell." Another fault of Brady's part – he actually should've never said that in order to become a bit respected by the Elder. Instead, he was looking at the kings as if a dog had peed on him.

"So brash, so young … And they have shown you nothing. If they are Kings of Legend, there would be signs! Signs, I say!" Then, a bird pooped on him, making the kings laugh, and made Boz smile. He wiped the poop out of his eye (yes, it landed in the eye) and then spoke directly to the kings. "Have you even seen the Lady of the Cave?"

No, they have not, but they will tomorrow. Boz thought, and he looked at the surprise on the faces of Brady and Boomer. They couldn't expect the kings to know about the Lady of the Cave, but if they did, they probably assumed the kings were actually running the country.

"Wait," Boomer said, "this island has cave ladies, too? There should be a great book where all this information could be found." No reaction. That was Boz's reaction. Is Boomer really that stupid or is he just playing dumb? He shook his head and sighed, while Mikayla took care of Boomer's stupid comment.

"You mean the Great Book?" she said. Boomer, who then realized his fault, tried to find a good come-back, but couldn't find one. So he just told her he didn't like her tone, to cover the way he hadn't known he actually had been giving the definition of the Great Book instead of asking someone to write. The center of conversation turned back to Mason and Timothy.

"I said it when I went to get them from Chicago and I'll say it again: Boomer and Brady are the Kings of Legend." Mason said it very convincing, but Timothy wasn't one to be convinced easily, especially not when it came to ruling the island he was born on. He's seen four kings since he was born here (including Brady and Boomer) and he would help them were possible, but Brady and Boomer didn't look like kings, didn't act like kings, and they were totally not fit to be the Kings of Legend. Timothy didn't think of the possibility that their incompetence might be the key to their success.

"Kings of Legend are supposed to wipe out the Dark Side," Timothy said, "not to make it grow across the island like their foot fungi." Boz didn't know if his hearing was working fine, but he was sure the Elder said 'fungi' and not 'fun guys'. He made that conclusion since 'foot fun guys' just sounded gross. Too bad, Brady and Boomer didn't know the word 'fungi'.

"Aw, he called us fun guys!" Boz heard Brady say and before the king could say anything else, Boz hit him on the back of his head. Sometimes he and Boomer needed to get that one hit, to realize they were still human and still as vulnerable as the homeless. Brady and Boomer glared at him, knowing that if they made a comment, they would get another hit. Plus, their twinstinct didn't help too much.

"They are the Kings of Legend" Mason said, while he went to stand behind/between the kings, "and I'll stake my reputation on it."

"So you say," the Elder told the Sasquatch. "If Dark Side continues to creep, it will reach the Zadoc." He now was facing the creepiest statue ever, and so were the others. A sudden silence fell upon the group as the watched the statue of one of the most dangerous men Kinkow has ever known. Boz gulped. This was the man Brady and Boomer would fight, this was the man who would come to life eventually in a way Boz had yet to discover. Yes, he didn't know how Zadoc came to life, but pretty soon he'd know. And, as he remarked, for once the kings were completely taken aback by the might and hidden power of the Zadoc.

"Wow!" Boomer said, "It's so clean! Even the pigeons are afraid to poop on it." Indeed, no bird dared to poop on it, because they all felt the evil inside the stone prison. The Elder turned his head to Boomer.

"Everybody is afraid to poop on it!" Timothy said, and Boz tried to wipe out any disgusting image that might pop up in his brain, "If the shadow hits the statue, Zadoc will come to life and then we will have fight that we cannot win!" The Elder started to get very worried, because he started babbling and he left Mason, Mikayla, Boz and the kings with the scary statue.

"Don't worry about them, my kings." Mason tried to comfort the kings, "I'm not nervous about this one bit! I believe in you." But when Mason turned around, the kings were again fooling around, by jumping over the fine line between good and evil again. Before Mikayla and Mason could do anything, Boz grasped them by their shirt again and placed them on the ground, a strict look on his face. The look in the eyes of the kings told him they didn't like him at the moment, but Boz didn't care.

"Would you guys cut it out?" He almost yelled at them, "We might as well be facing a very dangerous situation, and the people will want to see two leaders when something serious happens, and I'm not talking about the Makoolas. Darn it, you're kings, so act like kings!"

"You'd better stop shouting!" Brady 'advised' Boz, who then held back, and just sighed. They'd never hear what else he has to say. The twins walked back to the castle with Mason, while Boz stayed behind, watching the statue. Zadoc, hear me, he thought. Soon, we will meet. I don't know who is responsible, maybe it will be the Dark Side, maybe Lanny, maybe someone else, but I will be ready when you wake up. And I won't give up until you're dead of back in your stone prison.

"Boz?" He turned around, and relaxed as he saw Mikayla – he almost forgot she stayed behind, too, but he didn't know why.

"What is it you want to know?" Boz said with a smile. Mikayla stood next to him now, looking at the statue with a worried face.

"I know I shouldn't ask, but… what will happen next? Will Zadoc come to life?" Okay, so Mikayla did ask questions, but it didn't matter. He felt the need to tell her everything, like he told everything to Kayla, but something else kept him from telling her everything. He sighed, and turned his head to her.

"Zadoc will rise. It won't be pretty, but I think nobody got hurt. No need to worry, the kings will solve the problem." That's all he told her. She had to figure out the details herself, and he was glad he finally could tell someone. Ever since the plant doubles came, so much had changed and so many things had improved: Mikayla and Kayla both knew what he was, an someone else could be on the look-out for Lanny, as well as disabling his plans.

It's nice to be part of a team, Boz though as he and Mikayla left Zadoc behind.
