Zak Storm - The Chosen One

The Waypoint to Aeria

The Chaos went ahead to the portal to Aeria. Ria looked around a bit in the cabin. She stroked over the old books. Thoughtfully, she pulled out a little amulet and looked at it. "Could it really be?" she asked herself. "Are you looking for something?" Frightened, she turned around when she noticed Cece was standing in the doorway. "You scared me!" Cece approached her. "So that it's clear, if you try something on us, I'll make you pay in person." Ria was not intimidated by her. "Prove it!" she replied. Cece left her with only a cold look. Ria shook her head. She believed she knew why Cece behaved like this. 

When Ria left the cabin, she couldn't get out of her amazement, as never before had she been to Aeria. "Wow, it's beautiful..." "Apart from the dizzying height, the fact that tornadoes are doing their thing here and that a thunderstorm could tear us to shreds at any time... Then yes, it's beautiful." Ria and Zak grinned at each other, which Cece didn't like. "Is someone jealous?" quipped Clovis. "Oh gosh! How did you get there?" said Cece. 

Zak looked forward again and Ria stared at Calabrass. If she was right, things would change drastically. Suddenly, Zak shouted, "Waypoint ahead!" "Didn't you forget something?" Zak frowned, but Caramba didn't need to explain anymore, as Zak had already understood. "Oh yes, the Guardian..." A huge Phoenix piled up in front of them. Zak jumped on the railing and demanded the Eye of Blazz. 

Just as Calabrass lit up, the amulet on Ria's neck began to glow. Now it was clear. Ria could no longer keep her secret, as she had to come to the crew's aid. Following the amulet, she closed her eyes, and cried, "Guardians of the Fire, give me your strength!" A lightning bolt blew up and Ria was now also in a fire armour. Zak was as shocked as his friends. "Zak, we have to attack him together!" Zak agreed, although he had not yet understood the situation. The two of them, together, fired out a fire fountain and the Guardian was thrown back. When Zak turned around, the Phoenix pulled out his tail and slapped Calabrass out of his hand. The Phoenix came dangerously close to him, and when he tried to strike, Zak protectively put his hands in the air and enormous lines of electricity formed. 

After this action, Zak looked at his trembling hands. Ria took the chance as long as the Guardian was distracted, taking Calabrass and putting him in the Waypoint. The Guardian disappeared and a ray of energy fired into the air from the Waypoint. When the crew calmed down a bit, Zak confronted his sister. "What was that, please?" Ria did not speak, as she lacked the right explanation. She also received questioning glances from the crew. "Zak!" "What the hell has just happened?"
