Zak Storm - The Chosen One

By Unfair Means

Zak turned around, expecting the worst, but: "How often do you want to pursue us, we-" Then followed a cold silence, and neither Zak nor his friends got a word out. "Flint???" Zak said, still in complete surprise. "So, that's how you greet me again, Storm." Flint got closer and Ria did not let him out of sight for a second. "Ria - never thought a stunning girl like you would ally herself with Storm." With a false smile, she replied, "For you, it's Eleriah Storm," and switched back to her serious face. "Aha, the sister." Zak was just more confused. "How the hell do you know each other?" "Flint plays the running boy for everyone and everything, and now for Skullivar, I suppose." "That's true in some part. And now, give me the Planetarium!" Flint wanted to reach for the artefact, but he was innocable. "What did Skullivar offer you for this?" Flint did not respond to Cece's question. Instead, he pulled out a mirror and held it against the sun. The glare allowed Flint to escape with the Planetarium. 

Without hesitation, the crew began the chase. "I don't want to imagine what Skullivar would do with the Planetarium if it fell into his hands." When Flint realised he was being pursued, he threw a small grenade on the ground, causing a smoke cloud to rise up. "If I catch him, he can experience something," Cece said.

By the time they left the pyramid, Flint had disappeared from their sights. "He escaped us." Ria, however, had her sights set on him again. "Not so hasty," she said as she pushed a small sand dune to the side. "Zak, you're on!" "Calabrass - the Eye of Dezer!" Zak hit Calabrass on the ground with a huge force, and Flint was thrown away. Suddenly, the ground beneath them began to wobble. "I think we made someone very angry." In fact, the scorpions rose from under the sand cover. "Flint, the coward, he's fled!" Clovis steered the Chaos and collected the rest. "Chaos! Full power ahead!" 

They came closer to Flint but still hunted by the scorpions. "You take care of the crab cattle, and I'll take care of Flint." With an elegant jump, Zak landed on the deck of Flint's ship. "Give me the Planetarium!" Flint continued to push himself to the edge, but what Zak didn't notice was the approaching scorpion until he confronted him. With his stinger, he cut a wound in Zak's wrist. With his face distorted in pain, he held his wrist. While Zak was distracted, Flint cradled a vial of a black and white liquid, and when Zak tried to grab the Planetarium, Flint grabbed the moment and spread the liquid on Zak's arm without him really noticing it. Triumphantly, Flint grinned. 

The scorpions multiplied and Zak ordered a retreat. Disappointed, Zak returned to the Chaos. "Flint escaped with the Planetarium." For a long time, Zak looked after him. Flint wouldn't get away with it that easily.
