Finale- The Ultimate Enemy, Time

His body felt like it was on fire the next time he awakened. Tears stained his cheeks and his eyes were bleary. He blinked a few times until his vision finally cleared.

He took in his surroundings once more, and found a few extra guests. Iz was chained to the wall, her jade eyes half lidded. She looked exhausted and Zak growled silently to himself. Had they done something to her? His hands fisted, they'd pay if they did.

Celestic was fully awake glaring at the device placed on his torso. Zak wondered faintly what that advice was for, but since Celestic stood stoic still Zak could only assume it was like a shock collar.

He heard a groan and looked over to see Isabel stirring softly, her eyes opening fully. She looked around groggily until her pale, tired jade eyes landed on Zak.

The Cryptid Tamer looked at her worriedly but was afraid to call out. What if someone heard him? He wanted to prologue whatever was going to happen until the cavalry arrived.

Speaking of the cavalry where were they? He must had to have been out quite a while… they should've known that Argost would keep them in Weird World.

He took in a deep breath, eyes closing as he thought.

It's cramped in here Saturday…you don't have as much room as I'd like you to… His eyes snapped open and he looked around wildly before realizing the voice was in fact coming from inside his head. He let out a breath he didn't even realize he was holding.

'What do you want?" Zak growled softly, irritated, cobalt eyes snapping like fire.

You're body would be nice, the creature replied smoothly, hidden humor lacing his billowy voice. But I don't believe you'll relinquish such an, important part of you to me. Though your soul will suffice. It's giving me antiquate energy. Little 'double A'.

Zak snorted in disgust. This, whatever it was, was beginning to get on his nerves.

"Awake again I see," his head snapped towards Argost, who smirked happily. Eyes swimming with humor, and malice. Zak bit back a shudder that wanted so terribly to tear through his body.

"What do you want Argost?! You keep avoiding the question, and I want answers," Zak seethed through clenched teeth. "Why did you involve Iz and the others, they have nothing to do with this!"

"Oh but my dear Saturday," Argost scolded wagging his finger. "They have everything to do with this."

Zak wasn't sure he liked what Argost was implying.

"Here, in this room we have all three Spirits," Argost said extending his arms in a showy fashion. "The Celestial Envoy," He motioned to a seething Celestic, the vulpine's peach fur spiking in all directions as he let out a low growl. "The Spacial Guardian." He tapped Zak's head with a pointer finger, before his gaze drifted to Temoria the tiny tigress still asleep within her containment. "And the Temporal Keeper."

"What?" Zak growled in confusion.

"This is the most grand of symphonies!" Argost exclaimed giggling as though he couldn't help himself, and maybe he couldn't. He motioned towards the unconscious Temoria. "Her powers are, 'special'. They require a sacrifice, and the presence of the other two Spirits."

"A sacrifice?" Zak said bewildered, that word catching his interest the most. "A…sacrifice…" His eyes widened as realization hit him like a typhoon and he struggled against his bindings screaming at the top of his lungs. "Leave Iz out of this!"

"I'm afraid I cannot," he replied simply. "I would've used you boy, but you are now the host of the Spacial Guardian, you die and my plans come to a screeching halt." He walked towards Isabel stroking the girls' bangs from her face he snickered.

"Get your filthy hands off a her!" Zak growled molars cracking as they ground together. Eyes flashed to a different color, more amber than anything, though Cryptid powers were not in the equation.

"Touchy," Argost mused walking back towards Zak, who snapped at him the first chance he got.

"Why are you doing this?!" Zak asked, his voice cracking. He didn't want to lose his friends! He couldn't lose his friends!

"I need to erase a former mistake," Argost said walking towards the door. "And now begins the fun. Turn on the devices!" As he opened the door he turned to look one last time. "Oh and little Saturday, do try to block out the screaming, it won't be good for you mental health later on. Ta ta!"

As the door closed behind Argost, Zak could only wait in horror as the machines began coming to life. Thus began the end.

The End

Yep. That's the end, no I didn't cut it off because I'm lazy, this was my intention all along, this is seriously the end. Rip off huh? Well I guess you can just kill me now, but before you take your pitch forks and torches out on me, you might want to know...there is a sequel to this as well. ^^'
