Lexi 26
Lexi was yelping with each change she made. Her image seemed to blur into different creatures. First it was bird, then Lexi, golden retriever, then Lexi, and then ferret, then not Lexi. She turned into a crab. She started changing from animal to animal and stopped turning into Lexi.
My mom and dad tried to run to her side, but were repelled by some sort of human proof force field.
"Wait!" I yelled over some of the wind that started to stir from the force of the force field.
"I think I can help."
I raised the claw and tried to calm her.
"Zak do you remember what you said came of that last time."
"I know, but this time she's half unconscious."
Almost immediately I was in her head. There were various pictures of different animals many smaller ones and some middle sized ones. Calm down! This was similar to what happened with Fisk. Except there wasn't a Lexi fighting it.
I was back in my own body.
"Lexi calm down!" When I said that all of her transformations slowed until she was Lexi who shot up and yelled.
"Ahhh!"
I'm guessing that was her nightmare world.
"Lexi?"
"Yeah?"
"She's back!"
Fisk ran over, put the back of his hand to her head then as soon as he knew she wasn't already sick hugged her until she looked completely squashed.
"Okay, nice to see you too Fisk," she grumbled.
Fisk left the hug and picked up komodo who growled at being picked up by Fiskerton. He put him down at the foot of Lexi's bed and he growled and jumped back down.
"Thanks," she said to me.
She looked at my parents and then broke the awkward silence by saying,
"Ooooohhhh!" We all jumped at her sudden outburst.
"What? What is it?"
"When I left, yes I was sick but I heard some plans."
"What were they?"
"The Nagas are going to attack, starting with Kumari Kandum, and then working they're way upward. They're going to release kur's, ~points to me~ army. Argost has sided with them, or tricked them a-and we have to stop them."
"What?"
"That's right they're summoning up every cryptid on the earth who wants to come or doesn't."
There was a long pause then I spoke.
"We have to raise an army. Against them."
"Do you have anything in mind?" Mom asked me.
"Yeah."
"Zak and I will sketch out plans for the army, or who it consists of."
"Doc and I will gather up some new weapons then, and some of the older ones."
Lexi jumped out of bed and wobbled a bit considering she might still be a little dizzy. Fisk caught one of her elbows and she smiled at him then jogged a head. I reached into a cabinet and pulled out some paper behind me and followed Lexi.
She plopped herself down on the couch and patted a spot for me to join her.
"Okay so, I was thinking, we could use the Secret Scientists help."
"And the Hassi, and people of Kumari Kandum."
I scribbled down on the piece of paper the people who would help.

"Well technically speaking, we are related."
She frowned and said, "You forgot Doyle."

"Perfect," we commented at the same time.
"Okay, they're going to strike Kumari Kandum first."
"Who, Whoa, Whoa. When?"
"In about one school week."
"So… Five days?"
"Yea genius."
"What? I was home schooled."
"Come on."
"What are doing?"
"We're going to call the secret scientists."
"You're turning us in?"
"Yes stupid. I'm calling the people who want to freeze us in time, so they can come pick us up."
"Hey, Alright."
"Come on. MMMM! Do you remember that arrow I got? That's how I escaped you're power! That's why I could block you out . It stole a lot of power and energy, and that's why I was sick, but guess what else it can do?"
"What?"
"Give me the claw." I reluctantly held my claw out to her. She took it and pressed the arrowhead to the center. She held the two artifacts away from her body and then pressed the two to the broken phone screen. She brought them away then mumbled 'arrow by hand call'. Instantly a screen flashed in mid air and hovered just over our heads. A fuzzy image slowly broke through to a clear one and seven secret scientists stared in awe at the portal image.
"H-How did you?"
"No. The question is what do you want, we'll figure out the rest later," Dr. Beeman announced over Dr. Cheechoo.
"We need you're help." Lexi said walking from behind the screen. The claw and arrowhead were hovering underneath enclosed in a purple ball seeming to project a purple, tented screen in which the secret scientists communicated to us clearly.
"Looks like Sleeping Beauty's awake."
"Thank you for noticing, but in the short time I left I learned that in about five days the Nagas will have completed their army and they will strike with Argost upon Kumari Kandum, slowly making they're way to the surface world. They'll attack and Zak and I have made plans for our own army against the Nagas."
"We're not doing it."
"Okay first of all, we haven't invited you yet, and second of all this is one war you can't be neutral in. You're either with us trying to stop the Nagas from destroying all humanity, or you can side with the Nagas, who will by the way destroy you when they're finished with everyone else."
Dr. Bee blinked.
"Now," I said cutting in.
"Are you willing to make arrangements so we can gather our army in a meeting?"
"Where are Doc and Drew?" dr. B asked in a defeated tone.
"They're creating, and salvaging weapons that might help against the attacking cryptids."
"Where should we call the meeting?"
