Thank you so much for all the reviews, favorites and alerts everyone! ^_^ Please read the Author's Notes, it might be important. So, please make sure there's nothing important in the notes.

Disclaimer: The Secret Saturdays does not belong to me. I also do not own Godzilla, who is mentioned in this chapter.

This story is Major AU.

Summary: The Saturdays are sent to a town to investigate some black wolf sightings. They meet Zak, a kid who roams the forest next to the town. But Zak is the black wolf and also has cryptid powers; can the young hybrid keep his secrets safe? Especially after Argost seems to know that he's hiding something. And on top of all that the Saturdays and the Secret Scientists are starting to get a little suspicious.

Reviewer Questions: supersora557 asked if Zak and Wadi were going to get together in this. Sorry, but romance is not what I'm going for in this so there really isn't going to be any. But there might still be hints here and there.

anon asked why Zak M wasn't a cat. Zak S and Zak M are like opposites, opposite personalities, opposite hair colors, opposite powers, but they are both still human. Because they are both still human it makes sense that they both would be wolves.

no 1 special, your review just really warmed my heart. ^_^ Thank you. J

cryptidkitty7077, I get sidetracked like that too! ^_^

Also, I would like to thank anyone who proposed ideas for the story. I appreciate it, but in the end I thought of something I wanted to do.

One last thing and it is semi important so please take a moment to read this. I went through my old chapters and cleaned them up a bit. It is nothing that will effect the story now so you don't have to go back and read them all again. Unless of course, you want too. But also, some things I had planned to include I completely forgot about or they completely lost their purpose. For example, the scratch Zak had on his hand in Chapter 4? It was supposed to do something but it never ended up doing anything except possibly confuse people into thinking it was important. But, as I said, none of these changes will affect the story now.

Also I told a lot of you that this chapter would be pretty groundbreaking and solve a few things. I'm sorry, I was going to make it one huge chapter but after 5,000 words and 10 pages I split it. I also wanted more time to work on getting the right feeling into the next chapter if that makes sense. I also wanted to assure everyone that this story is not abandoned by updating.

Chapter 19: Cherufe Trouble And Power Practice

Aside from a few calls about Cryptids, which were easy to deal with using Zak's powers, the next couple weeks were fairly quiet in the Saturday house.

Zak was having a wondrous time exploring the surrounding woods and at night he would go out and howl for fun. He was also adjusting nicely to living in an actual house instead of in the wild like he had for most of his life.

He was still wearing the Saturday uniform and one woman had told Drew that her 'son' had very interesting hair. Zak wondered if perhaps she'd been talking about Fiskerton instead of him. (1)

Drew, Zak noticed, seemed to be watching him extra carefully. Of course, they always kept an eye on him because he had a tendency to play with the off-limits experimental weapons, but Drew almost seemed to think he was up to something.

Why, Zak thought as he absentmindedly pressed buttons on a machine he wasn't supposed to be near, he had no idea. But even so, he had to be careful how wolf-like he acted.

Drew scanned the search results again, but came up with nothing more than when she did so only a moment ago. Ever since the incident with the Smoke Mirror, Drew had been having doubts about whether Zak was hiding something. Her suspicions even went as far as to question whether or not he was even completely human. It sounded nuts, she knew that. Zak looked perfectly human, but sometimes his behavior was odd in a way that made her wonder if her suspicion wasn't as crazy as it sounded. And then there was his old shirt. Drew knew that there had not been any bite marks on it before he and his doppelganger had disappeared and fought. She realized it was possible that the doppelganger Zak had dubbed Zak Monday had bitten Zak, but the bite marks had not been human, instead it had been some kind of canine. But then there was the fact that if Zak had been bitten by a canine he should have some kind of wound to show for it. He had some small injuries but nothing serious like what one would have expected.

The mystery of Zak, the kid they found seemingly abandoned in a forest, only deepened.

One that subject, they had searched up and down for any sort of documentation for him but they weren't able to find a single thing. No birth certificate, no medical records, no school records, nothing at all to indicate that Zak even exists. They asked him if he knew his last name but Zak had just shrugged and said he wasn't sure if he even had one. They also wondered how he ended up living alone in the forest in the first place but Zak insisted that he was not abandoned and they didn't want to press the issue because it seemed to be a sensitive one.

They also had bigger things to worry about at the moment, what with Argost having at least two keys to Kur's Tomb. The Alkali Lake Monster's horn had been stolen from them when Drew had discovered her long lost brother and the Royal Medallion from Kumari Kandam when Argost had taken over the city. And then add the fact that they never actually found the black wolf back in the forest. Although the townspeople reported that they haven't heard any howling or seen signs of the wolf at all since they left. It was like it had just disappeared. The whole situation with that wolf had been odd, in Drew's opinion. Wolves weren't even supposed to be around that area.

Speaking of wolves, they had been hearing howling lately and where they lived there were no wolves around just like with the forest. Why was one so mysteriously here now?

Drew sighed. She still couldn't find anything about what Zak could be and what he could be hiding.

Today the family, and the wolf in disguise, were called by Dr. Cheechoo to Mount Osorno in South America. (2)

Doc and Drew were investigating the strange animalistic noise that Dr. Cheechoo's sensor was picking up and Zak, meanwhile, hoped to go snowboarding on the snowy mountain but was stuck waiting patiently.

Zak sighed while playing with the snow with his shoe. He never liked waiting, but sometimes it was, sadly, necessary. At least it gave him time to reflect.

Lately he'd been feeling different, like… He wasn't sure exactly, but something was different. He liked living with the Saturdays more than he thought he would. It was odd for Zak, to not only have other people around, but those other people looked after him like… Like parents… Zak hadn't really had anything remotely like parents in a long time. Ever since his parents had died Zak had stayed away from, well, anyone, really. Sure he ventured to the town sometimes and snuck into the library but he'd been living on his own for years now and wasn't used to people trying to take care of him and keep him safe. Zak wasn't sure how that made him feel. On one hand, Zak didn't want to rely on anyone else. He could take care of himself just fine. He has been for several years. Yet, on the other hand, Zak didn't want to be completely alone and a part of him liked that he didn't have to be the one thinking about survival all the time.

Zak sighed once more. He was really confused.

But it didn't look like he'd get more time to ponder it because at that moment with a boom the volcano top exploded and started spewing lava. Now that was not something one saw everyday. It was, however, the figure that emerged a moment later at the top that caught Zak's attention.

"Uh, what is that?" Zak pointed at the top of the erupting volcano.

However the adults had already taken off to rescue some stranded skiers and contain the lava as best they could. Zak looked around and found a pair of binoculars to get a better look and whatever he was expecting, it wasn't a giant green lizard.

Doc came running back toward the camp and seeing that Zak had yet to move to safety he shouted at the eleven year old to do so as he was passing by.

"Yeah I know, I was getting to that but-" Zak tried to explain what he saw but Doc was in too much of a hurry to listen and was gone before Zak could finished his sentence.

"Never mind." Zak grumbled. "Just thought you might want to know about the lizard guy but ok, that's fine."

'I have to get a closer look.' Thought Zak, and, taking the binoculars with him, he ventured closer.

In retrospect, getting closer to the erupting volcano and the lava that was rapidly getting closer was not the best idea he'd ever had.

Zak tried to get closer where there wasn't any lava, he really did, but suddenly it was all around him and there was no escape.

'That looks… Really hot…' Thought Zak as he look around for some way to escape his rather serious predicament.

To Zak's relief, he saw Doyle flying with the help of his jetpack close by.

Doyle's eyes widened and he seemed surprised when he saw that Zak was in the middle of a small, and rapidly diminishing, circle that was surrounded by lava. Doyle really should have expected this by now. He quickly turned in Zak's direction and picked up the eleven year old troublemaker just in time to transport him out of danger.

Zak felt very relieved and he was glad that he had not been killed by the not-so-slow-surprisingly-fast-moving lava. If he was going to die, he would prefer it be much more heroic than death by lava because of curiosity.

Doyle was taking him somewhere, and Zak hoped there wasn't any lava where they were going, he'd had enough of it for the day. He looked towards the ground and it looked to him like the immediate danger was over. The stranded skiers had been rescued and the lava had been redirected and was no longer headed toward the town.

They landed on the snowy ground and almost immediately the rest of the Saturdays were running up to them. Zak wondered if they had seen him nearly get fried… He hoped not.

'Oh… They look angry…' Hopes dashed, Zak realized that the news he had nearly been fried had obviously reached them.

"What were you thinking!?" Doc yelled.

"I don't think he was!" Drew yelled.

"I was thinking!" Zak insisted. " I was thinking that there was some lizard thing on top of the volcano and maybe someone should check it out!"

"Giant lizard thing?" Doc questioned skeptically.

"Yeah! It was just standing at the top of the volcano. I tried to tell you guys but you left so quickly." Zak explained.

"That is not the point right now! We can talk about this lizard thing later." Drew said before sighing. "Zak, you nearly got yourself killed. You realize that, right?"

Zak was quiet now. Yes, he did realize that. He just didn't want to think about it. He acted like it was no big deal, but the truth was that it scared him how close he had just come to dying.

They seemed to take his silence as a meaning that he got the point and no further scolding was necessary so Drew switched from "angry he nearly got himself killed" to "happy he was ok".

Zak, still deep in his depressing thought-fest, was completely caught off guard when Drew suddenly hugged him and said "Just be careful, sweetie."

Zak was in shock. It had been a long time since he'd been hugged like this by… Well, anyone, really.

"Yeah, okay -" Zak abruptly stopped talking when he realized that he'd been about to call Drew Saturday "Mom".

Drew, completely oblivious to Zak's near mistake, released him from her embrace.

"Now let's go see if we can figure out what those weird noises were."

Doc and Drew started walking away, conversing about what the noises they picked up could have been. Doyle also started heading to the ski lodge where the scientists had decided to convene for the time being.

Suddenly something occurred to Zak, once he got over his shock.

"Since when am I "sweetie"?" Zak asked no one in particular.

Fiskerton shrugged.

At the ski lodge Zak was sitting at a table with the binoculars he had yet to return to their proper owner. He had been sitting there looking through the binoculars since everyone had relocated to the lodge. He was on a hunt to find the lizard thing he'd seen earlier, and as a predator, his prey would be found. He was determined to find it again and show everyone because, to his annoyance, the others seemed a little skeptical. Grudgingly, he supposed a giant lizard showing up at the top of an erupting volcano was a little hard to believe. But he was a kid who turned into a furry wolf!

'… Not that they know that, but still!' Zak mused irritably.

Most of the others, meanwhile, where at another table having a scientific discussion about what could be causing the weird noises they had picked up. Zak wasn't sure if they had any ideas yet, but then again, he wasn't paying attention to them at all anyway. His vigilant watch on the volcano required his full attention.

While Zak continued his lizard-watch, Fiskerton was getting a little concerned about his partner-in-mischief. Normally they would at least be outside having a snowball fight by now, but Zak just sat there looking at the volcano which was, in Fiskerton's opinion, looking very boring now that the eruption was over. The Fiskerton Phantom didn't think he'd ever seen Zak sit still for that long before… Frankly it scared him.

"Let's go outside and have a snowball fight!" Fiskerton tried to convince Zak to take a break from his volcano watch but the eleven year old, who would have normally jumped at the idea, wasn't interested at the moment.

"Maybe later, Fisk." Zak told him, barely taking any attention off his mission.

Fiskerton wasn't sure what to do now and wondered if perhaps Zak had caught some sort of disease. Maybe he should tell his parents in case something was wrong? Yes, that was a good idea. Fiskerton wanted Zak to act normal again. His parents would know what to do.

"I know he's not behaving normally, but Zak's not sick, Fiskerton. He's just determined to prove his lizard theory and should be back to normal soon." Doc said, reassuring his Cryptid son after he'd confided in them his worries over Zak's behavior.

"Are you sure?"

"If he keeps acting like this or starts showing any other symptoms, we'll think about running some tests to make sure." Doc told the troubled Cryptid and Fiskerton was now slightly reassured of Zak's health. Or at least knew that if the strange behavior continued they would make sure he was ok.

Fiskerton then left and the Saturday parents went over to where Zak was still sitting.

"You do realize that Fiskerton thinks you're sick, right?"

"Huh?" Zak actually turned away from the volcano to look at Doc and Drew. "I'm fine! Why would he think that?"

"You've barely moved since you got here. At first we thought that maybe nearly dying had an effect on you, and we'd hoped that maybe you'd think a little more next time, but you're not reacting from a near death experience. You've just been watching that volcano, waiting for that thing you saw." Drew had her hands on her hips. Both Saturday parents had hoped that Zak's earlier experience would teach him to be more careful, but it seems like he brushed it off like it happened every day. "And - Zak! Are you even listening?!"

Somewhere in the middle of her speech Zak had gone back to looking at the volcano.

"Yeah! But, look!" Zak pointed out the window and the Saturday parents squinted and saw something traveling down the volcano toward the town.

"Is that-?" Doc could barely believe his eyes.

"Yep." Zak said with a satisfied smile. "It's a giant lizard thing."

"It's heading towards the town!" Doc realized and the parents started rushing to stop the creature from reaching the town and potentially reeking havoc.

"We have to stop it!" Drew exclaimed and the commotion gathered the attention of her brother Doyle, who came over to see what to fuss was about.

"Whoa. What's with the green mini-Godzilla."

"It's a giant green lizard, just like I said I saw." Zak still had the satisfied smile on his face.

"Let's go, we need to stop it before it reaches the town." The family left the lodge to go towards the lizard.

Suddenly Dr. Cheechoo, who was going to stay behind, noticed something peculiar. "Were those my binoculars?"

As they were rushing toward the Cryptid Doc had looked it up and gotten a match in the Cryptipedia. It was called a Cherufe and it's skin was way too hot to get near it. Quickly, everyone went and put on extreme temperature suits and went to stop the Cryptid.

The Cherufe was traveling down the volcano towards the small town faster than one would think it could go. What it was going there to do when it got there, they didn't know but Cryptids plus any kind of settlement usually ended in disaster. As Cryptozoologists, it was the Saturdays' job to not only protect the town from the Cherufe but the Cherufe from the town.

The Cherufe roared when they got closer to it, and Zak decided that his first course of action would be to try his powers.

The Hand of Tsul 'Kalu glowed as Zak focused his ability. He could feel that something was upsetting the creature but he wasn't sure what yet. Before he could try to find out the Cherufe attempted to hit Zak with its large tail. Seeing the tail coming toward him Zak threw himself to the side and out of the way. His focus on his powers was destroyed and the connection lost.

The Cherufe was very angry at the creatures that dared to stop its decent to the town below. It roared in anger as the snow melted around its feet and left a unique trail.

The good news was that the Cherufe stopped its journey to the town and instead turned its focus on the pesky creatures that dared to get in its way.

"Hey mini-man! Catch!" Doyle shouted and tossed Zak a small cylindrical container with a tube and a hose like device attached on the end.

Zak caught the contraption and used it to spray the Cherufe with… water?

Zak was confused as to why Doyle wanted him to drench the Cherufe in liquid. Did he think cooling it down would calm it or something?

Then Doyle came flying by again on his jetpack with another one of the hose things pointed at the Cherufe. It looked like some sort of mist was coming out towards the Cherufe. Suddenly ice started forming on the Cherufe's body and soon the it was frozen inside one big Cherufe-shaped ice cube.

'Oh.' Zak thought 'That's kinda cool… In more ways than one.' He chuckled a little at his pun.

The fight seemed to be over, but then the Cherufe ice cube started cracking and in a shower of both small and large chunks of ice the Cherufe broke free.

"Alright, new plan!" Drew yelled as she ran up to the large green lizard and kicked it in the head.

The Cherufe reeled back from the blow but before it could recover Doyle threw several concussion grenades at it. The grenades exploded with a flash and a bang and the Cherufe was suddenly in a cloud of thick, grey smoke.

Zak's eyes glowed orange with a mystical power as he tried his powers again. The Cherufe was very angry and agitated so it was a challenge for him to keep the connection going. He shut his eyes so he could concentrate better and hoped nothing would hit him while he wasn't looking. He could feel the Cherufe's anger thundering through the connection. It was like raging ocean even in his own head.

'Calm down…' Zak thought and tried calming the Cryptid using his powers.

It wasn't working very well though, and Zak tried concentrating on why the Cryptid was so angry. Aside from the Saturdays attacking it, of course.

'Wait…' Zak thought, he'd felt something there…

Suddenly his eyes snapped open and it all made sense.

"Wait! Stop! It's not trying to hurt anyone!" He shouted.

The Cherufe roared again and swiped at them with its almost claw-like hand, but then it got down on all fours and wiggled out of its own skin.

The Saturdays looked a little surprised at the revelation, but Zak had just figured it out and was happy that the Cherufe looked a lot calmer now.

"It was just shedding its skin?" Doyle questioned, wondering how all the mayhem was caused simply because the creature had been shedding its skin.

"Yep." Zak confirmed, activating his powers on the now calmer Cryptid. It was much easier to keep the connection going now that it wasn't so angry.

"I'm gonna lead it home." He told the others before heading back toward the volcano with the Cherufe following behind.

On the way toward the volcano Zak's mind wandered again to the recent events in his life. And then somehow he ended up explaining the whole thing to the Cherufe following him back to its home.

" - So you see, I'm just not sure what to feel anymore." Zak confessed to the creature and sighed as he stopped walking and plopped down in the snow.

The Cherufe, who was in a stunningly better mood, turned out to be a much better listener than he would've ever thought. It grunted and while still on all four legs walked to where Zak had sat down in the snow and offered an encouraging gentle head butt to his suit covered arm.

"Yeah, thanks for listening." Zak smiled "I think I've finally got it figured out. I like this, going around the world on adventures and helping Cryptids. I like living with the Saturdays, more than I ever thought I would. I don't wanna be lonely and alone anymore."

The Cherufe grunted.

"Oh, right. You probably have someone waiting for you, don't you?" Zak said, standing up, shaking the snow off and continuing up the volcano.

Further up the volcano, Zak waved goodbye to the Cherufe as the creature dove back into its volcanic home before something suddenly occurred to him.

"Wait!" Zak shouted after it, "You better not tell anyone what I told you!"

The trip down the volcano had been very quiet with only the sound of Zak's footsteps in the snow. However, once he finally made it back down to the area of the ski lodge he walked straight into the middle of a confrontation.

V.V. Argost and his assistant Munya had arrived.

'What are they doing here?' Zak wondered, regarding the two with extreme caution. He wasn't very happy to see them. Of course, he never was, but after being kept overnight at Weird World he was extra cautious.

"Greetings and bienvenue." Argost noticed Zak and he smiled in the chilling maniacal way he usually does. "Ah, little Saturday, it was very rude of you to leave without even saying goodbye."

Zak gulped nervously. Weird World was not a place he wanted to visit ever again.

"Leave him alone Argost!" Doc threatened. He still hadn't forgotten the aftermath of Zak's capture and how worried they had been.

Despite the implied threat, Argost didn't seem at all worried.

"No matter. Munya, we are leaving, it seems we've missed the fun." Argost's jet appeared in the sky and the crazy TV host and his servant flew away.

Zak relaxed a little now that they were gone. He already knew that whenever Argost of his henchmen appeared, things rarely end well.

"Am I the only one who thinks that was a little odd?" Doyle asked, still watching the sky where the jet disappeared.

"Odd? Maybe, but I'm just happy he left." Drew crossed her arms.

"He's right." Doc reluctantly admitted, a little discontented to be agreeing with Doyle because of their usual rivalry. "Argost left too easily. Why would he come all the way here and then just leave?"

"Maybe what he came for wasn't around anymore?" Zak speculated. "Could it have been the Cherufe? It's back in the volcano now."

"I don't know, we should keep an eye out, but for now our job is done." Doc said and the family said goodbye to Dr. Cheechoo and went back to the airship.

As soon as they got back to the airship, Doc and Drew went to study the hologram of the pieces they had of the Kur Stone. It seemed too strange that Argost would fly all the way there and then just leave. The only reason they could think of was connected to Kur.

"There." Drew pointed to a certain spot on the holographic stone. "It's the Cherufe. I can't believe we didn't realize it before."

"So that's why Argost showed up." Doyle said. "Something connected to that creature is one of the keys."

"We need to get back down there." Doc stated. "If the Cherufe is that important then Argost must have been trying to lead us away. He never left."

"Oh no!" Drew suddenly exclaimed, still looking at the holographic stone. "We have to hurry!"

"What?! What does he want with the Cherufe?!" Zak asked, worried about the lizard creature, but no one heard him. They had already left the room and Zak hastily followed.

The eleven year old quickly caught up with the others just in time to see Argost's jet flying away for the second time that day.

"No!" Drew shouted. "He got away!" She looked distraught and Zak had a very bad feeling.

"What happened?" Zak asked cautiously, almost dreading the answer.

"The Kur Stone had an image of an egg on it. I assume it was the Cherufe's." She explained sadly.

Zak paled, but it was Doyle who voiced what both of them were thinking. "You mean he stole an egg?!"

"We think so." Doc said sadly.

Zak suddenly felt very grim. He knew Argost was bad, but to actually take a Cryptid's egg? That was much worse than what he usually did and Zak didn't even want to think about what he needed the egg for. What purpose would an egg serve in the search for Kur? And especially the egg of a Cryptid like - 'Wait!' Zak suddenly thought.

He twisted around to stare at the now still volcano. After a few moments the others noticed his suspicious gaze.

"What's up mini-man? Something wrong?" Doyle asked.

"It doesn't make sense…" Zak murmured. He had a feeling he was missing something and because of that feeling he decided to investigate. He didn't know if it would even work but he had to try anyway.

The orange glow bathed the area in a subtle glow and the color illuminated on the soft white snow. The Saturdays looked confused, and they wondered what he was doing. They looked around in alarm but couldn't see any reason Zak would need to activate his powers. Zak took little notice of their confusion. He was too busy concentrating. He may have occasionally attempted something like this before but he never had much success with it.

He closed his eyes in concentration and tried to mentally reach out to Cryptids that he couldn't see. Eye contact has been essential in the process but Zak thought with practice he could faze out that aspect.

He had a suspicion but to confirm it he needed to connect with the Cherufe in the volcano. Obviously he couldn't just go in the burning lava and look for it so he was resigned to attempting a connection from outside.

"Uh, do any of you know what he's doing?" Doyle asked the others.

"I don't know, but I don't think we should interrupt." Drew motioned for everyone to be quiet.

Meanwhile, Zak was deep in concentration for several minutes but didn't seem to be getting anywhere. He was about to stop searching when he suddenly… Sensed. He could feel several Cryptids. He could feel Fiskerton behind him and he could feel the Cherufe in the volcano. To his surprise he discovered there was another Cherufe living in the volcano as well. Zak focused solely on the Cherufe he had helped earlier, he hoped it would accept the connection a little better since they had already been introduced.

When he connected with its mind his suspicions were confirmed. He felt annoyance, a lot of annoyance that its nest had just been broken into but no furious anger. He felt protectiveness for its family, but no feeling like it's going to go on an uncontrollable rampage.

Zak smiled and let the connection fade and the familiar orange glow disappeared.

"You wanna clue in the rest of the class here?" Doyle said.

Zak was still smiling. "Argost didn't take an egg."

The eleven year old could tell they really wanted to believe him but were having a little trouble.

"How do you know that?" Doc asked.

"I managed to link with the Cherufe from earlier. It's annoyed that it's nest was broken into, but it's not furious or anything. It tried to tear apart a town because it was shedding its skin. Just think of what it'd be doing if its egg was actually stolen."

The family looked very relieved that an innocent Cherufe egg had not been abducted.

"But if he didn't take an egg, what did he take?" Doc wondered.

Zak shrugged. "I don't know. All I know is that whatever it was, they don't seem to care that it's gone."

Drew sighed. "Well that's odd, but at least the eggs are safe. There isn't anything else for us to do here."

The group started walking back to the airship when Drew turned to Zak. "By the way, Zak, I've never seen you use your powers without being able to see the Cryptid."

"Well," Zak confessed. "That was the first time it's actually worked…"

In the middle of the night, a lone figure hide in the shadows. Planning, waiting, for the perfect moment. Months of preparation had been put into this operation, getting the house layout, working out how to bypass the security system, and by the end of the night he would have a few more rare creatures to sell.

(1) In case you didn't get it, that's obliviousness.

(2) True story. In the episode Dr. Cheechoo welcomes them to Osorno, according to my Cryptid field guide book, the Cherufe is from South America and there is a volcano called Osorno in Chile. And the original Cherufe mythology legend is from South America. Yeah that's right, I did the research. :P

Ok, so as I said in the note before I started the chapter this was originally going to be massively long and pretty groundbreaking story wise. However after 5,000 words and 10 pages I decided to split it into two chapters. I want to take my time on the next chapter because it's really important and I want it to be good. However I wanted to assure everyone that even after so long this story will NEVER be abandoned. Also, I'd like to totally apologize about how long it's been since I've updated. You guys deserve a much better apology but hopefully the long chapter will make up for it a little. J

Also, I'm taking a little bit of artistic license with Zak's powers. How they work is never really elaborated on in the show but I imagine this is somewhat how it works.

Oh and the story image is mine! I made it myself. I'm aware it's not very good, but hey, at least I tried. J

Please review so I know people still read this!
