Hey guys, I'm back! I didn't just fall off the planet! I'm also feeling better, which is a plus. Alright, I'm doing another part of the episode 'Life in the Underground' at the part when Ulraj (thank you Max Saturday Korchak!) Wadi, and Zak are stuck underground.

And people are still just naming off episodes! I need details, because I'm picky like that!

Max Saturday Korchak- thanks a lot for the Ulraj's name! Would you mind telling me which part of 'the unblinking eye'?

97kingdomwolf- thanks! And I'm feeling better now, and hoping to get a better chapter out to all of you!

Shizuku Tsukishima749- thanks again!

Brokenxclock- thanks for the French bit! I needed that! I just keep forgetting to change it…

MugetsuPipeFox- thanks!

The scene opened to see a rock fall sealing the exit of a rock tunnel from the trio in it.

"We're alive!" Wadi cheered.

"We're buried alive." Zak pointed out.

"Way to keep hopeful honey." Drew muttered under her breath.

Dirt and grime started falling into the cave, starting to build around the children's feet.

Wadi tried to climb the wall, her nails catching nothing on the smooth wall. "We have to reach the surface!" she exclaimed.

Zak walked towards her, defeat in his features as he grabbed her hand "Wadi, we don't even know which direction the surface is!" he gently pushed her away from the wall "if we try to dig its only gonna make it worse." He gestured to the wall of sand enclosing in a circle around the three.

"What about your claw?" she tried "call back the worm Kryptid!" sand started to fall onto Zak's shoulder, but he made no attempt to move.

"It's gone Wadi, I- it could be miles away by now" he explained, eyeing the sand on his arm "I just don't know!"

"Your parents!?" her voice became more desperate.

He held an arm up against the stream "even if they know we're gone, why would they look underground?" he reasoned.

"That's it." Drew exclaimed in frustration "as soon as we get out of here we're going to implant a chip into that boy, just like a dog."

Doc nodded in agreement.

"Then perhaps you would like to fix this by yourself?" Ulraj asked bitterly, the sand already at his ankles and growing higher by the second.

Zak sighed, how could he explain? "Guys, I'm sorry." he admitted "Look, I never meant to be such a jerk, I just… my life's been even more dangerous lately, and… if there's somebody I don't want to see hurt, its you." he lifted his arms up in surrender, the sand at his waist. His voice was soft and kind.

Ulraj corssed his arms, but Wadi smiled at him. The sand was now at their shoulders and going to their neck. "Uh two" he closed his eyes in embarrassment and waved a hand up and down "you two uh, both."

"Oh, please quiet pretending you don't like each other" Ulraj looked at the heavens "I don't even find her attractive."

"What!?" Wadi and Zak both shouted, Zak in embarrassment (knowing just what he was implying) and Wadi in confusion.

Doc snorted "I almost wish I had a video camera. Zak's first time being jealous."

"Ha ha." Drew grumbled tartly.

"I simply hate losing anything to Zak." The sand was at their necks.

Zak struggled and got his arms out of the sand, bringing on blindly foreword, his eyes tightly shut "I'm sorry I couldn't save you." Drew and Doc both noticed the 'you' and the fact he left out himself.

Wadi grunted and grabbed Zak's hand "I'm sorry it wasn't a very good birthday party." She told him, grabbing Ulraj's hand as well.

"And I'm sorry I can't breathe dirt." Ulraj wheezed.

They grabbed there last breath as the sand traveled to their mouths.

"That was almost romantic." Drew commented.

'Happy birthday kiddo!' Drew's voice rang in his mind. He wanted his last thoughts to be happy ones.

Fisk's voice screeched in his ear, then Doc's voice went through 'we thought you might like to be a normal kid for a while. at least for one day.'

"The one day he was supposed to be normal was the day he almost suffocated." Doc muttered regretfully.

'Normal people let their friends help them!' Wadi yelled

'Do I look like I'm allowed to be normal!?' Zak hissed in reply.

Drew and Doc both winced.

'And have you ever wondered how Kur would control such an army?' Argost's voice rang last, and Zak gasped. That just might work! 'One that travels on land, sea, and air?' the sand was above his mouth and steadily heading towards his nose 'or even across the entire globe!?'

'I know you can hear me!' Zak shouted to the Kryptids possibly nearby 'wherever you are, I need you!' his eyes started glowing orange 'please! I'm not your enemy, please…' he was struggling to maintain consciousness 'please.' The glowed once again.

The worm burst through the floor.

Ta-da! I'm done! Tell me if I should write Zak's speech to the Kryptids! I might just for the heck of it!
