Part 8: CZECH REPUBLIC
Vanzilla 2.0 was in Jet Mode and we were flying over central Europe.
Nicole: Well guys we're back in Europe.
Lori: So why are we going back to Europe?
Nicole: This time we're not going to see any volcanoes. We're going to learn all about the history of some of Europe's countries and more. Our first stop is the Czech Republic.
Lucy: I've always wanted to go to the Czech Republic.
Haiku: Me too. I heard that it's home to some of the most haunted castles in all of Europe.
Lori and Leni were hugging eachother in fear.
Leni: (Fearful) H..H..Haunted!?
Lori: This is literally gonna be scary!
Brittney: The Czech Republic is home to lots of history and more.
Jessie K: That's right. It has lots of history that dates back to 870 A.D. and it is an amazing country because of its architecture and castles.
Lola: I can't wait to see the castles.
Lana: I wonder what animals are there.
Shanan: There's lots of animals in the forests. But I doubt there are any in the castles.
Nicole: We're here guys. Welcome to Prague, the capital city of the Czech Republic.
Naruto: It's an amazing city.
Sakura: It's beautiful.
Fu: It sure is.
Jessie K: This city has lots of history and it's one of the oldest cities in Europe.
Brittney: Yeah.
Me: It's as beautiful as I remember it 6 years ago.
Varie: What beautiful art in the buildings.
Lapis: I've been here myself and it was amazing.
Hinata: What do you think we'll see here?
Nicole: Lots of great stuff here.
Me: I know. The President of the Czech Republic is a friend of mine. 6 years ago I saved her country from the terroristic plots of Vostok, a rogue Soviet Union KGB General that was wanted by the Russian Federation for Terrorism.
Lincoln: J.D. that's amazing!
Allie: I remember that dad. Vostok was a very dangerous man and he was trying to reinstate Communism.
Fu: What does KGB stand for?
Me: It's a Russian Organization. It stands for Комите́т госуда́рственной безопа́сности. That's Russian for Commitee for State Security. It was Russia's version of the C.I.A. and the United States Department of Homeland Security. But when the Soviet Union fell from power in 1992 at the end of the Cold War it split into two divisions: The Federal Security Service and the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation.
Jessie K: That's right dad.
Anastasia: That's interesting.
Linka: That's amazing. I'm glad that Vostok is gone for good.
Me: He's not dead. He has been locked away in the Black Dolphin Prison in Russia. The Black Dolphin Prison is Russia's toughest maximum security prison for men and is one of the most dangerous prisons in the world. It's reserved for Europe's most dangerous criminals.
Lori: That is literally scary.
Leni: Totes.
Lana: How did you stop this Vostok jerk J.D.?
Me: That is the interesting part. The assistant of the President showed me and my family an ancient legend of the Czech Republic: the Golem.
Sakura: What is the Golem?
Brittney: It's a creature made of solid rock. Centuries ago, a rabbi created the Golem to defend his people from Religious Persecution. Unfortunately it worked all too well. After it completed its terrible task it kept on killing. Endangering the people it was charged with protecting. So to make sure that the Golem could be controlled the Golem Scriv was created.
Linka: The Golem Scriv?
Brittney: It's an ancient artifact. It's a special wand that is said to contain the power to write on any surface. Whoever has the Scriv controls the Golem. The Golem obeys only the commands of the one who has the Scriv.
Varie: That's amazing.
Allie: It sure is.
Laney: How do you know so much about this Brittney?
Brittney: Being a goth girl has its perks. We not only know magic and darkness but we know all about the worlds of myth from all over.
Lucy & Haiku: Goth perks.
Raven: I know alot about the Golem too.
Me: That's awesome.
Luan: That's what I call a Rock of Horrors! (Laughs to Rimshot) Get it?
We all laugh.
Me: (Laughs) That's a good one Luan.
Eddy: (Laughs) Rock of horrors! (Laughs) That's a good one.
Cody: (Laughs) That's funny.
Raven: (Laughs) Rock of horrors. I just got it.
Naruto: Can a creature like the Golem be destroyed?
Brittney: From what I remember the Golem is indestructible. Missiles, Tanks, Bullets or Flamethrowers can't destroy it.
Me: The only thing that can destroy it would be if we destroy the entire planet but that would be insane.
Jessie B: Yeah that would be crazy.
Mary: Yeah it would.
Nicole: We're about to land guys.
We landed and got out and saw the president of the Czech Republic, Alena Stasny waiting for us.
Alena: J.D.
Me: Alena. It's great to see you again after 8 years.
Alena: Ah it's been so long. You are growing up very fast.
Me: I get that all the time. [to everyone] These are my friends and my children.
We introduced ourselves.
Alena: Ah it's an honor to meet all of you. We in the Czech Republic have heard that you saved all of Denmark from a prehistoric monster that was destroying it.
Me: That's right.
Lilly: Word about that sure traveled fast around all of Europe.
Carol: It sure did.
We later went to the Prague Museum and saw the Golem.
Lola: Whoa! So that is the Golem.
Lily: Incredible.
Lynn: This is amazing.
Alena: Yes. Thanks to J.D. and his family Vostok was captured and the Golem is now a popular attraction in the museum and Prague.
Me: That's right. May I give a demonstration of the Golem?
Alena: Certainly.
I pull out the Scriv and it glowed purple.
Me: Golem, awake!
The Golem's eyes glowed red and it was amazing.
Terra: That is so awesome!
We went to a training yard.
Lori: So you want us to fire bullets at the Golem?
Me: Yes Lori. It's to show that the legend is true. I'm sorry that this is too much for all of you but seeing is believing.
Luna: Oh I get it dude.
Luan: This is gonna be cool. A bullet of wonder! (Laughs to Rimshot) Get it?
Most of us laugh while everyone else groaned.
Me: (Laughs) That's a good one Luan.
Alena: Luan is a good comedian.
Me: Her jokes can make anyone laugh. Ready everyone?
Leni: Totes!
Lisa: Affirmative!
Me: Golem, attack!
The Golem went to the Loud Siblings and they fired their guns and fire powers at him and the bullets weren't having any effect on him. They were bouncing off it.
Varie: Whoa!
Aylene: Unbelievable!
Vince: This is incredible!
Cody: It is indestructible!
Zoe: The legend is true!
Me: Golem, stop! So what do you all think?
Lynn: The legend is true.
Leni: Totes! That was cray cray!
Jessie B: That was amazing. Seeing is believing.
Alena: That was a great demonstration.
Me: Thank you Alena.
Later we learned about all of the Czech Republic's history and more and Alena showed us some catacombs from under the President's Manor ballroom. We went in them and saw some ancient rooms.
Me: These rooms are ancient.
Jessie K: Yes. The manor has been remodeled and rebuilt alot over the centuries. These catacombs are hundreds of years old.
Varie: I believe it.
Anna: I believe it too mom.
Suddenly a ghostly figure appeared out of nowhere and grabbed Jessie.
Jessie B: Hey! Help me!
We followed the ghost and it dropped Jessie off at a wall.
Me: Are you okay Jessie?
Jessie B: Yes. But what was that?
Lucy: That was a ghost. It brought you here for some reason.
I smell something really foul coming from behind the wall.
Me: Ugh! I know that smell.
I take a pick axe and chip open the wall and we found the skeletal remains of a woman.
Haiku: Gasp!
Anna: Whoa!
Mary: Looks like she was buried alive.
Allie: I wonder what happened to her?
Lucy: Gasp! That's Anna Kafka!
Brittney: I've read about her. She disappeared almost 300 years ago.
Lola & Lana were shaking in fear.
Lisa: Hmm. (Looks at the body) Looks like the vertabrae at the neck area has been twisted. This indicates that her neck broke either from a homicidal nature or an accident.
Me: How did you know this is Anna Kafka, Lucy?
Lucy: I've read alot about her story.
Lucy revealed Anna Kafka's history and it was shocking. Almost 300 years ago in the 1700's she was giving her music to a man named Franz Dunček. Franz Dunček's life was considered a sham because of his bad music life and more. Anna gave her music to him and played for everyone. He gave her money and Anna's music made Franz was made rich and famous because of it. They wanted to keep all the fame and glory for themselves and give the Kafka family nothing. But when Anna confronted him in order to get her rightful recognition Franz murdered her in cold blood and buried her in the catacombs where we found her almost 300 years later.
We were horrified.
Me: So the Dunček name was smearing the Kafka name through the mud because of greed, fraud and murder.
Varie: That's horrible and Anna Kafka's spirit won't be at rest until the Kafka family gets their rightful recognition.
Me: That's evil and this is a cold case almost 300 years in the making.
Jessie B: I know this case all too well. I attended a ball with Jonny and the Dunček Scholarship winner is actually Anna Kafka's descendent Irena Kafka.
Lucy: I remember her.
Laney: Me too. The music of the Kafka family is a great work of art and is a magnificent wonder.
Lola: I agree Laney.
Lisa: Indeed. It's all a work of art.
Lily: Yeah. But how are we gonna expose the Dunček family for their crimes?
Lucy: Let me work my magic.
Lucy contacted Anna's spirit and she appeared.
Me: Anna Kafka. It's a pleasure to meet you here in the 21st Century.
Anna: Yes J.D. I've heard so much about your achievements despite me being dead.
Lucy: I'm sorry that Franz killed you. But I promise that the Dunček family will pay for their crimes in full.
Anna: Thank you so much to all of you.
Me: Jessie who is the descendent of Franz Dunček?
Jessie B: That would be Miloš. He is the descendent of Franz.
Me: Okay. We have a lot of work to do.
We immediately notified Alena and she was shocked. Irena was told everything and a huge scandel broke out amongst the people of the Czech Republic. Miloš denied everything but Anna's spirit and her tale of everything that happened to her and telling everyone from beyond the grave was more than enough proof for everyone to hear. The Dunček name was now mud and the Kafka family honor had been restored. Anna's spirit went up to the Great Beyond.
Alena: I'm glad Anna Kafka's spirit is now at rest.
Me: Me too Alena.
Jessie B: I've said it before. And the Kafka family will finally get the wealth and acknowledgement that they were denied all these centuries.
Brittney: After almost 300 years.
Naruto: Yeah. I'm glad she is at peace now.
Sakura: Me too.
Irena: Thank you all for helping me and my family.
Me: You're welcome Irena.
Varie: The Dunček name will never be popular in the world of music again.
Jared: No it won't mom.
Later we packed up and headed to our next destination.
