Lexi 7
As I neared the location I soared near to the ground. My wings were sore, but my legs were asleep. Then I remembered, the collar1 it wasn't working. Maybe it went away when I left Weird World. I transformed into a wolf and continued speeding through the forest. I had to hurry. I approached they're property. I jumped in the air, turned into a wasp then lowered myself and regained wolf form. I galloped to the Saturday's new meeting room. From what I could see they were in a meeting. I could see the faces of Drew and Epsilon, and I could see the backs of the heads of the secret scientists from earlier.
I leaped in the air one more time and smashed through the window, shutting my eyes tightly, startling everyone in the room. I had to tell them anyway at some point so why not make a smashing entrance. I slid across the long meeting table and when I reached the end I was launched off and smacked into the wall. I heard gasps from the scientists and the first captors of my journey readied themselves with gun shaped weapons.
"Wait!" I shouted. Weapons dropped and I transformed into Lexi.
"Lexi?" Several people stared in horror and Doc and Drew just stared.
"Yes?"
"What's going on?"
"You need to come."
"Do you know where Zak and Francis are? What happened to you?"
"Zak and Francis are fine for the time-being. And me, well I've always been able to do that. Any living multi-cellular organism I touch, I can turn into."
Doc and Drew looked at each other. I panted and broke the silence.
"Come on, they're in Weird World. I barely escaped Argost a while ago, and I doubt he left Zak and Francis there unguarded. I'll explain a little more on the way there, but we have to help them!"
"Right. Epsilon, you come with us."
In the Airship…
"What else happened while you were there?"
"Well, Argost thinks I'm a different breed of kur, but I didn't know that possible."
"I knew it!" Epsilon shouted.
"What?"
"He thought I was kur when I fought the Kelpie."
"How'd you know that?" Epsilon asked me.
"Francis told me."
"This makes sense now." Drew said.
"What?"
"You're the reason Zak could turn into hat wolf, aren't you?"
"Yeah, that does make sense."
"Were you the one who turned into a tiger that Miranda saw?"
"That would be me."
"Hmmm,"
"I think I'm going to fly the rest of the way."
I walked out and opened a door to one of the wings and transformed into one of my best figures yet. Several years ago, I had come into contact with a griffon and I rarely use it, but I decided to use it anyway. I dove off the wing and unfurled my golden colored wings and soared a bit, before letting myself be seen.
I flew at top speed along the airship, occasionally getting ahead. As soon as Weird World came into view, I dove through the window pulling my wings close and tumbling head over heels until I hit the wall opposite to me.
"Lexi!" I shook some glass off of my head.
"Yeah?"
"Are they coming?"
"Yeah."
"Zak!" Doc jumped through the previously shattered window and grabbed onto the bars.
"Do you know where the keys are?"
"I think I know." Said the secret scientist who I later knew as Miranda Grey.
She and the other guy, who I learned was Dr. Beeman, were holding up Munya, the spider guy, and she held the keys with her other hand. They dropped Munya and he groaned.
They ran over to Zak's cage and unlocked the door. Then they hurried to Francis's cage and opened the door.
Zak's POV
I ran out of the cage and straight to my dad and mom, who had just gotten in. I gave them the best hug that I could.
"Mom, Da, you wouldn't believe the plan we pulled off to get Lexi to go get help. First she pretended she needed to go to the bathroom, we recorded some things, and it so funny!"
"Glad you had fun, but it's time to go."
"Definitely."
"Hey, where'd Lexi go?"
"Maybe she left already. I think I saw her go out the window.
My mom and dad looked at the scientists and Epsilon.
"Don't look at us."
"Maybe she did already leave. And if she did leave and didn't go to our house she's probably back in Mississippi."
"We'll try the house first. If she was there Doyle would've seen her."
"Uncle Doyle's there? Why?"
"He broke his arm when he battled Abbey back in the tunnels."
"I hope he's okay."
"He'll be fine, but right now we need to go home and find Lexi."
At the house…
"Uncle Doyle! Where's Lexi did she come by here is she here?"
"What I don't get a hello?"
"Doyle!"
"Okay, fine. She came by here, and she left a note."
"Well, where is it?"
"Kitchen counter."
I ran over, picked up the note and read it aloud.
"Sorry, couldn't stay, things to do, places to see.
C ya!"
"Wait, so she left. She's only been with us for a couple of days."
"She also said something like, it would keep Zak out of danger and her out of danger. Something like you won't have to deal with as many problems, if she disappears then people will spend more of their time wondering about her, they'll probably still come after Zak, just not as frequently."
"I have to admit that is a pretty good idea."
"Come to think of it the scientists did say they were going to try and find her if we called and she wasn't here."
"Then let's take advantage of it and use what she's created."
"Great, I'll call them right now…"
