Hola Muchachos! Here's the next chappie! Oh PhantomGirl12 tis fine, tis fine. I understand.
Oh and some of you, if you noticed or not that my doggy (RIP Izzy girl!) shares the same name as Isabel in this story (minus the 'la') Well Izzy had the same personality as Isabel in this fic. So all ya'lls will get to see a lil' of my departed puppy's personality.
8- Forwards! Backwards! Upside down?
"Van Rook!" Zak hissed rising to his knees. His Cryptid powers sparked in his eyes, and his ground his molars. Several men clad in black had a hold of his friends. His eyes flashed from blue to orange, the air around the group seeming to crackle like lightening.
There was so much tension, Celestic began to bristle. Temoria and Isabel looked at the two boys of the group worriedly. Lashing out Celestic managed to get one of his many tails around the man's arm. And pulled with all his might.
The man cried out in agony and the bone, was visible just through his flesh. He dropped Celestic screaming and withering on the floor in agony. The vulpine was about to smash into his friend's assailants when he was hit with a jolt of electricity.
"Try that again little pest!" Van Rook growled. Celestic let out a strangled gasp, his fur still spiked with electricity. After that the air seemed to thicken heavily. And Iz found herself unable to draw in air, she wheezed helplessly as she was crushed by the invisible force.
Zak's whole body seemed to arch upwards, and his hair spiked straight up. Eyes flickered more rapidly between the two colors, as though a battle was going on within the teen's head.
A guttural almost animalistic growl erupted deep within the boy's throat. Van Rook watched as the boy doubled over, the growling continuing at a steady threatening pace. His body seemed to shift, it appeared as though his bones were rearranging themselves.
"Z-Zak…" Iz wheezed, legs kicking out weakly as she fought for air. In that moment the heaviness seemed to break, and the teen looked up. Eyes glowing with Cryptid powers, a fang, protruding from his upper lip curved as he snarled. Isabel would have sighed with relief if she wasn't so frightened by the look of her closest friend.
"Get. Away. From. Them." Came a most unnatural and frightening voice, from Zak. Instead of heeding the teen's warning, the black clad man drew a switch blade, and held it close to Isabel's throat. Jade eyes bulged, filling up the whole girl's face. Those huge jade orbs glanced…just briefly at the shiny object so close to her throat. She was sincerely afraid to swallow, desperately unsure if in doing so would slit her throat.
Zak wasn't the least bit impressed by this motion, amber eyes narrowed to slits, and he lowered his whole kneeled frame. In a movement almost to fast for Isabel to notice, she was soon within the teen's arms.
Blinking…once…twice. Eyes still wide, she looked towards her friend. He didn't look at her, but his eyes were straight forward, narrowed to dangerous slits. Following his gaze she noticed his immediate glare was directed to Van Rook. Looking down her jade orbs widened and she let out a tiny squeak just bordering on a gasp.
Below the both of them, at Zak's feet was the man who'd pulled the blade on her. He was laying there, in a pool of his own blood. At first…could he have been… was it possible? That he could be d-dead?
Had Zak really…really, killed someone…?
No, upon further inspection, she saw the man breathing shallowly.
Sitting her down gently, though she hadn't any strength in her legs, sank to the floor, Zak turned his attention to the man holding Temoria.
The man's head did a quick double take from Zak to his fallen comrade, and he slowly released the spirit beast. Temoria immediately landed next to Celestic who was still reeling from the electrical charge he received.
"You cowards!" Van Rook glowered at his men, who only blinked and backed away. Rushing over to their fallen comrade they quickly scooped him up and hightailed it out of there. Van Rook wasn't the least bit pleased.
He quickly rounded on the nearest people to him. Who so happened to be Temoria and Celestic. Raising his foot he was ready to stop the two small spirits into dust, but as he raised his foot, he found he could not move it properly.
Just under his foot, was Zak, hands clenching tight to the man's boot. Shocked, though no one could see it behind the mask Van Rook was toppled over.
Before Zak was about to pounce on the downed Van Rook two tazers dug deep into the teen's flesh and were set off. Roaring in pain the boy collapsed, steam rising off of his slightly charred flesh.
"Ugh…"
Zak's eyes returned blue and he looked back weakly to find that his friends had been recaptured, this time by Argost's minions.
You're probably wondering what is wrong with Zaky! And if Drew and Doc have any leads. And more importaintly, when will Temoria's whole role will come into play? Well you'll have to wait for the next chapter, which will be hopefully long, and a split chappie. (Going from the family, to Zak and the crew.) Don't forget to Review!
