So… um, yup. Another chapter. Holy crap! I got like, 4 reviews in one day after posting my last chapter! Soo, this is yet another Life in the underground bit, and it's gonna show Zak getting Wadi mad at him and the speech to the cryptids.

Shizuku Tsukishima749- I planned on it!

MugetsuPipeFox- I'm not sure if seeing is the proper term either... I'd guess so since you're 'seeing' my chapter!

Max Saturday Korchak- So which part? The rooftop confrontation at the beginning of the episode between Episilon and the Saturdays? Or the part where Fisk wants to leave town and Zak tells him that 'not all monsters are evil?

Brokenxclock- ah well, i'll try to avoid that. I just realized I never did two of the episodes you requested 'The Thousand Eyes of Ahuizotl' and 'keep your enemies closer' I'll try to find keep your enemies closer (I can't find the link for it I used to use.) and what part of the thousand eyes? you probably already mentioned it, but i forgot. please remind me!

…

…

Zak and Wadi watched as Ulraj tried to pick up the scent of the cryptid. Fisk tapped his shoulder, and Zak gave a small gasp and the taller cryptid leaned down with a finger to his lips. Wadi started walking foreword as Fisk pointed out Argost on the clock-tower. He tapped his wrist.

"Didn't we already see part of this!?" Drew grumbled.

Zak ran in front of the duo, whom were walking away "Uh, hey, guys, uh, I" he corrected himself "Fisk and I have to check something out." He walked closer to the furred creature in question. "alone." He finished.

Wadi began to worry about her companion's strange behavior "What?" she held her hands up, as though she wanted to grab him "why would you-?"

"It's nothing" Zak interrupted "I mean it's... you know we just have to do this… we'll be right back, I promise." Zak bumbled through the sentence, having no clue what to say to appease the girl in front of him.

"Is it just me?" Drew interrupted the recording "or does Zak stutter a lot in these clips?"

"I thought I was the only one who noticed." Doc agreed "you think it's from Wadi being the vicinity or is it another thing about Zak that we haven't noticed?"

"I'd guess a mix of both." She answered "he stutters here and there around us, but he does it a lot more around Wadi."

"Zak" Wadi warned "if there is danger, you should let your friends help you."

Deciding that the only way to get rid of the duo was to anger his crush, Zak spoke "Look, Wadi, whatever boy-girl stuff is going on with you and me… this Is pretty much the worst time for me, okay?" he grabbed his head and waved his other hand. "I'll be right back!"

The look on Wadi's face made him want to cringe, but he refused to falter.

"if that is how you feel." The familiar line rang out, and Wadi stormed off, Ulraj following after giving a shrug to the boy in question.

Drew burst out laughing "he really is bad with girls, even worse than other boys his age!"

The scene cut to a store, probably after Zak's talk with Argost, just in time for two cryptid worms to burst out of the ground.

The three gave a little shout, and Doc and Drew didn't miss how Zak's arms instinctively swung out to shelter the two behind them.

Ulraj and Wadi got into battle poses, but Zak intervened "Wait! This is my job!"

Drew snorted "Zak is just trying to get himself slapped.

"What is wrong with you Zak Saturday!?" Wadi yelled.

"See?"

"I never doubted you, honey."

"I thought you were trying to be normal!" Zak looked away, frown deep in his features "normal people let their friends help them!"

"That's not going to go over well." Doc commented.

Enraged, Zak let his eyes glow orange as he hissed at the angry girl "do I look like I'm allowed to be normal!?" he let that seep in a second before continuing "just… let me do this and stay back!"

Once again, Drew and Doc winced.

The scene cut once again to a cavern filled with food, Zak and the others atop the cryptid worm.

A wolf cryptid popped out of the food pile in greeting. Wadi walked towards him "I do not think this is an angry mob." She commented.

"They are hiding." Ulraj replied "all these food supplies, this must be the reason they invaded that town. The gorilla cryptid and bat cryptid popped up from the supplies as well "Not and an army, a survival camp."

"But... what are they trying to survive?" Wadi questioned.

The wolf walked away as Zak's eyes glowed orange "me…" he breathed.

He walked towards them, Wadi and Ulraj staying behind "hey, look, yeah, I'm Kur, I get it." he spoke as quickly as possible to get past the introduction "But, listen… I know your scared" his voice turned soft as he tried not to think about how it was his fault all of this that had happened "But all of this, it isn't going to help."

The cryptid's listened with rapt attention. As did Drew and Doc.

"Look, humans are freaked out by cryptid's already and stealing food and causing earthquakes is just gonna make things worse… I don't know what's gonna happen with this Kur thing either, but" he walked over to the wolf cryptid, who lowered his head so Zak could pet it's nose "if we're gonna get through it, everyone's going to have to work together, okay?"

"As soon as we get out of here I'm giving him a lesson on not being a hypocrite" Drew told Doc "right after I chew him out for the whole, boot and the rope thing back at the fire cave."

"Ahem." Zak looked over at Wadi and Ulraj, who were both shown to have their arms crossed in an I-told-you-so manner.

"Or... maybe they already did that for me."

Zak blushed and looked away "ahhh right."

The scene skipped one last time to show the others watching as the cryptids fixed the town.

"The level of cooperation between cryptid species… is unprecedented" Doc commented.

Zak looked away "I guess they know something big and bad is coming…" he muttered under his breath.

Drew placed a comforting arm on his shoulder.

He walked foreword, eyes glowing orange, and he called out to the cryptids "alright, I'll call you if I need you. I promise."

He waved as they slithered and walked away, and Ulraj's voice rang out "and will you call us too?"

"Huh?" he whipped around. Wadi and Ulraj stood there.

"I mean, obviously you will be calling Wadi." The two blushed, and Fisk walked over, making 'congratz' noises.

"So uh…" he started nervously "down there… when we thought we'd never see each other again-" Wadi turned towards him, cutting him off.

"It was... a good party after all." she gave him a small kiss on the cheek. "Happy birthday Zak Saturday!" she cheered, waving goodbye, before running off.

He waved goodbye dumbly, words forgotten.

"awww, he's such a little lovestuck dork!"

Fisk came behind them, saying something along the lines of "avovvong!" and giving him thumbs up.

Zak glared at him tartly, the moment broken.

The screen faded to black.
