Zak Storm - The Chosen One

Too many Questions - Too few Answers

The crew had stayed in place. "What exactly can this new power do?" Ria raised her arms unsuspectingly and let tendrils grow out of the ground. "Whoa! What about the Borg Processor?" asked Caramba, both impressed and anxious. Zak hung upside down. "Okay, that was quite funny, but would you be so kind as to let me down again?" "I don't know how to do that?!" Ria dropped her hands but nothing happened. Nothing helped, causing Ria to stamp her foot in anger, and then the tendrils withdrew and Zak landed rudely on all fours. "Ouch..." Ria couldn't help grinning. "I'm sorry..." 

Now that this theory was confirmed, Cece set out to find the next Waypoint using the Planetarium. The closest would be Zite, but how would they get there? 

Cece's Point of View 

I couldn't concentrate properly, and I couldn't get this page out of my head. Why was Calabrass depicted on it? What was on the rest of the page and what was the contents of the book the page came from? So many questions were buzzing around in my head, and I didn't know the answer to any of them. Suddenly, Zak came in and asked about my progress. Terrified, I hid the page behind my back. "I haven't found the Waypoint yet, but I'll let you know." Zak looked at me intently. I hoped he wouldn't notice anything. Phew. Luckily, he went again, but I wasn't sure if he bought this from me or not. 

Zak's Point of View

Cece tried to hide something, and you could see that in her expression. Thoughtfully, I got back to the wheel of the Chaos. It all got crazier and crazier. Suddenly, I saw again a very brief appearance of a dark being. It felt like the thing was going to plant itself in my head. What's wrong with me? Am I hallucinating, perhaps? I wanted to tell the others, but no, they would think I was crazy. I looked at Calabrass, who somehow also looked suspiciously away... 

The mood on the Chaos became more and more uncomfortable. But no one dared to throw their theories into the room. Cece had gathered the crew together. "So, I found the Waypoint of Zite, and it's exactly... there!" Cece pointed to a small spot on the map of Zite. "That sounds great, but we still don't know how to get to Zite... Calabrass doesn't have enough energy to get us all through... We have to find another way," Zak said. Cece was about to clear away the Planetarium, when a book fell on her. Zak bent down to help her, and discovered the page Cece was trying to hide. "What is it?" Calabrass tore his eyes open. "Cece, where did you get that from?" asked Zak. "I found it on the island we were on, and I didn't know if I should show it to you." "Isn't that Calabrass?" Zak looked more closely at the paper and saw the woman. Calabrass did not make any sound at all. "Calabrass, are you hiding something from us?"
