Lexi 11
Ulraj's POV
I paced rapidly and in concern, every time that kraken came around it kept attacking our serpent. I turned to continue pacing then I saw an orange-ish yellow/ white submarine. I ran up towards the wall of the giant air bubble that surrounded my city. I was all set to greet them when two playful looking dolphins caught my eye.
One was a shiny color, and the other was a deep rich blue. They were hastily around my city. It was odd. I had never seen a dolphin that color blue before, or yet alone either of them around here.
"Um, your highness?"
I spun around noticing for the first time that the Saturdays were here.
"Oh, Dr. Saturday. It's nice to see you. Where's Zak?"
"Zak is coming, but a better question would be: Where's the kraken?" Drew said.
"W-we don't know."
"What? Well where could it be? It's supposed to be a huge monster!"
"I know, but it has this method of hiding, despite of it's massive size, in small dark crevices and trenches."
"I'd say it's because of it having mostly muscles instead of bone."
"Most of the time it just appears."
"So, you're saying we're going to just wait until it appears."
"That's the plan. So you said Zak was coming, where is he?"
"Zak, Lexi!" The two dolphins stopped in their tracks.
"Zak turned into a dolphin?!" I shouted. The two dolphins swam towards the bubble.
The silver dolphin swam down to our level and popped through the bubble. It took a moment but he morphed back into Zak. The blue dolphin swam up to the top and popped through there. She fell a couple feet then turned into the girl I recognized from the video.
She landed gracefully and looked up. What I found particularly weird was their lack of wetness.
"Z-Zak how did you do that?"
"Something to do with my powers probably." I've known the Saturdays long enough to know that just knowing it had something to do with his powers wouldn't be enough information for them to let him use it. I'd let this one go. I didn't have to know everything. Before I ask about Lexi, Zak spoke.
"So, where's the kraken?"
"It's probably waiting to attack. We should probably go sit down."
"Wait so we're stuck here waiting?"
"That's the plan, it will most likely attack when our guard is down or the most excitement occurs," I said using inference from earlier attacks.
"Lexi?"
Zak looked over his shoulder. Lexi looked like she was talking with the fish.
"Yah?"
"We're going inside. Ya coming?"
"Yah."
"Stop saying 'yah."
"Fine Mulawhaha." (Mul-a-wha-ha)
"Mulawhaha? Is that a different language or something? I thought you were only fluent in French and English."
"I am, that is in official languages."
"What?" Zak asked.
"Mulawhaha is Lexi language for whatever."
"Mulawhaha, now come on."
She smiled smugly at an exasperated Zak and followed us to a building.
We entered it and all sat around a table. There was an awkward long period of silence, and then Lexi got up.
"Shouldn't we be planning how to take it down? Or are we just going to improvise, like Doyle?" Zak asked at the same time she walked up to the table. Then I noticed the seat left to her had been untouched. I guessed she referred the corner of the room better.
"I think we're improvising this time," she said.
Lexi's POV
"If that's the case, I'm going out."
"Too where?"
"Mmmm, I don't know. Around I guess. Maybe go hunt for some kraken, or converse with some sharks."
"Can she do that without your power assisting her?"
"She has her own power, not just mine."
"While you discuss this, I'm going out, like I said."
I walked outside and sat near the bubble wall. Then I continued pouring out my feelings to the fish I had talked to earlier.
I hadn't sat for long when I heard some footsteps behind me. I sprung up and got into attack position and face my attackers, all five of them.
Zak's POV
"So you're saying she has a similar power except for regular animals, and when combined she or you could turn into any living multi-cellular organism?"
"Yep. That about sums it up."
Ulraj looked at me then the wall, and suddenly drew tentative.
"Scatter!" He suddenly shouted.
I jumped from my spot to the side of the room and Ulraj jumped in the opposite direction. For a moment, nothing happened but within a millisecond Lexi came crashing through the wall. She hit the table, got up and brushed herself off.
"Kraken?" Mom asked readying her sword.
"Nope, much worse," she grunted. We all looked out the hole Lexi caused, and it turned out that wall was surprisingly thin, so it must've been easier to break through.
To our surprise and fright three angry secret scientists walked towards the hole.
"I thought you said they were searching Peru."
"She did, but we figured it out." Dr. Grey said.
"It's nice to see you're back on track Miranda." Drew said facetiously.
"Why don't you just give up already?" I asked.
"I'm sorry we just can't give up on tracking the world's most powerful and dangerous being." I was just glad she didn't say monster.
"Especially since there are two of you now."
Before I could attack them with the claw, Lexi pounced on Miranda in puma form.
She jumped off then turned around for an attack on Dr. Beeman. When that was a success she jumped for Professor Mizuki. Unfortunately he dodge and she slid all the way and popped out of the bubble, where she turned into a whale shark. I guess she didn't like being a whale shark because she turned into a dolphin.
"Zak what is going on? Why are the secret scientists here?"
"They're hunting me down."
"Why?"
"Reasons?"
"Are you the most powerful and dangerous being they're referring to?"
"That would be me,"
"And is the other Lexi?"
"Yes."
I didn't want to explain further, and thank goodness for me because the kingdom shook and the sea serpent wailed and started to thrash.
"Looks like squiddy is here." That was probably my lamest catch phrase yet.
Lexi turned to herself while still in the water and swam up to the serpent and it's attacker. She winked at me and swam right up to the krakens eye. She tapped on it and it turned its attention directly to her. I started running to the edge of the bubble and then stopped.
If I went out now, then I could drown, without Lexi to transform me. I could try to swim to her, but it was still a great distance. I gained my attention span back and looked at Lexi and the kraken. The serpent was down, and Lexi was still dodging the kraken. Then I saw one of its long slimy tentacles come up and wrap itself around her.
"Lexi!" The kraken brought her towards its toothy mouth and soon she wasn't visible. But then the kraken practically exploded and I saw Lexi emerge again. This time she was in kraken form. Before I could do anything else She reached one long slimy tentacle toward me and wrapped it around me pulling me into the fight. I instantly though in my mind: kraken, kraken, kraken, kraken over and over again.
When I opened my eyes again I was a giant squid. The kraken shook Lexi off and flung her against a large peace of coral. She slipped to the ground unconscious and in Lexi form. I turned and instantly thought: Zak, Zak, Zak. I turned and grabbed the claw from my belt and my eyes started glowing orange. The kraken suddenly calmed down, and I read its thoughts. Yup. It had come up to serve kur. I calmed it and made him bring Lexi into the air bubble, while I swam there myself.
We all entered and the kraken swam away.
"That cryptid won't ever show its face again," I said.
"Wait, you mean it's gone? We missed all of it?"
"Yup."
"It won't attack my serpent?"
"Never again."
"Is Lexi okay?"
"She just hit her head, she'll be fine, let's just take her back to the house."
"I'm sorry we couldn't stay longer Ulraj, until next time!
