Drew ran straight up to her son, picking him up and embracing him tightly.

"Mom? What happened? Where are we?" He asked tiredly, opening his eyes.

"It's okay sweetie," Drew said gently, placing him back on his feet where he was grabbed by a very excited Fiskerton.

"Heh, easy Fisk! I just got tossed around like a rag doll, I don't need you doing it again!" Zak laughed as his brother let him go with a giggle.

"You're one to talk, I feel like I just got a house dropped on me."

"Doyle!" The redhead sat up, rubbing his head in pain, smiling weakly.

"What?" He winced, getting to his feet.

"It worked, you're back to normal!" Zak declared with relief. Doyle began looking over himself frantically, bringing his hands up in front of his face.

"Ha! That's a relief! For a while there I thought I was going to be stuck like that forever," He sighed, obviously glad to have his average human body back.

"I think that would have been a nightmare for all of us," Drew admitted, ruffling her son's hair and then bringing her brother into a hug. "So don't do it again otherwise I'm throwing you out of the airship without that jetpack of yours," she said in a frightfully calm voice. Doyle smiled sheepishly.

"This is a nice reunion and all, but we need to get out of here before the Naga find out that we've taken down their queen, who I assume will be waking up shortly," Doc stated begrudgingly. The rest nodded. The group, now consisting of 6 members quickly left via another exit and scrambled towards the opening, although it was now clear that there was no easy escape route.

"How the heck are we supposed to get up there?" Zak asked, looking up at the pipe on the ceiling.

"We could use the claw," Drew suggested.

"No, it wouldn't hold the weight of all of us," Doc cut in, we might have to find another way out. There was a low hissing from nearby. "Doyle, I want you to take Zak and Komodo back up the pipe, the rest of us will have to find another way out!"

"Dad! We can't do that!" Zak argued.

"There's no time Zak! We need to get out as fast as possible!" Doc shouted back, him, Fiskerton and Drew already nearly out of earshot. "We'll meet you in the harbour!" Was the last thing Zak could hear clearly from them as their shouts merged with the echo from the rock.

"Come on Miniman, time to go," Doyle's serious voice caught his attention. Zak took the claw in hand and used it as a winch to reach the top before throwing it down to Doyle. Doyle held onto it with one hand, with his other arm around Komodo's belly and did the same, grappling the top of the pipe until they too had disappeared from view.

… LINE BREAK

"Don't let the humans escape!" Doc, Drew and Fisk were surrounded by the Naga in the lagoon area of their lair. They stood their ground but were losing the fight. One of them tried to coil around Drew but received a sharp, painful stab from her Tibetan Fire Sword. Fisk punched one only to be swept off his feet by another's spiked tail.

"Drew!" Doc cried, "get into the water! I'll delay them."

"No Doc!" She shouted back, swiping her sword at a Naga that was too close for comfort.

"Trust me! I'll follow you as soon I can!" Drew held her breath and dove beneath the surface, Fisk following her. Doc took out the cortex disruptor and began firing rounds at several Nagas until he had it knocked out of his hands at which point he retreated into the water. Something wrapped around his foot, dragging him upwards. He burst out of the water and gave it a hard punch with his force glove, making it release him. With a deep breath he went under, swimming as fast as he could into the open river. He couldn't hold his breath any longer by the time he reached the surface and was gasping for air as soon as he breached the waves. What was worse was the fact that he couldn't see his wife anywhere. He was struggling to stay afloat when he heard the sound of beating wings above him. He felt talons latch onto him on both shoulders and hoist him out of the water with a squawk. Doc immediately knew who his savour was as he was lowered down towards the harbour pier. He dropped down onto his knees with Zon landing beside him.

"Nice swim professor?" Doyle jeered, looking at the soaked man catching his breath.

"You don't know the half of it," Doc growled, standing up straight.

"Well, I guess now that's sorted we can go back to finding Kur," Drew sighed, wiping her soggy hair out of her eyes.

"Let's hope you've learned your lesson Doyle," Doc scolded, folding his arms with a cold stare.

"Oh, don't worry I have, I'm definitely not doing that again, not in a million years," the ex-mercenary replied.

"Well, looks you were right about the relic Drew," Doc said, rubbing his chin, "I guess we can't use it to find Kur."

"Yeah those things are definitely bad omens," Zak piped up, "I guess we're gonna have to use Fiskerton's instincts." The lemurian babbled something and got down on the floor cross legged, humming to himself. The three adults groaned.

"He'll get it eventually, just trust him okay?" Zak said positively.

Doyle was rubbing his head in discontent but there was a small smile tugging at his lips "Yeah," he said softly, "I guess we're gonna have to." Drew noticed and put an arm around her brother, slightly giggling at her adoptive cryptid son. "This family," Doyle sighed, shaking his head, "you've got to either love it or hate it."

Drew smiled at her brothers playful remark, "aren't those two the same thing?" Doyle laughed half heartedly, with Fisk joining in making the laughter contagious to everyone else.

"If the Naga came back we'd all be done for," Zak laughed.

"I suppose we should get back to the airship before that happens," Doc suggested, searching the river surface.

"Fisk, Zak come on, it's time to go," Drew called, giving her son a kiss on the cheek as he passed and giving a brother a moderately gentle smack on the back of the head. He ignored her and continued on as she stopped to talk with Doc. "Do you think that's over and done with?" she asked him.

"Doyle may be ignorant, cocky, rebellious, annoying, money hungry, stubborn..."

"And your point is?" Drew asked.

"His heart is in the right place," Doc said somewhat doubtfully.

"I'll tell him you said that," Drew grinned.

Doc rolled his eye, "Come on, the boys will be wondering where we've got to." The couple walked off together hand in hand to catch up with their family that had been mended for the time being. The time being wasn't going to last long as the war was soon to begin...
