Zak Storm - The Chosen One

New Plan: Infiltration

Ria banged her fist on the table. "You did what?" Cece asked in horror. "You let them go?" Ria walked up and down as her friends asked her what happened. "Did I have a choice?! I thought... Zak would make it." Discouraged, Ria sank into a chair. "I completely failed... If I had stopped Zak..." Cece sat down next to her. "We all make mistakes, but now it's time to make it up to him, and bring Zak back to the Chaos, safe and sound." Ria smiled slightly, but she had somehow always suspected that something like this would come. 

She got up and went on deck. She bent slightly over the railing and looked at the vastness of Beru. Ria was so introverted that she didn't even hear Cece coming. 

C: "You know, I also doubted Zak at first. But inside, I knew he had a strong character, so Skullivar won't have it so easy with him." 

R: "How do we get close enough to Skullivar without his entourage tearing us to pieces?" 

C: "For that, we would have to be invisible and be able to walk through walls." 

R: "I think I got it! That's the solution!" 

Ria ran below deck again, and just left Cece standing there. "Will you ever consecrate me?" she shouted as she followed her. Ria spread out a huge map of Vapir on the table. "So, we need every available man we have. I will ask Luna for help again." "What about the Sunbirds?" asked Clovis. "Under no circumstances must they get into a battle between good and evil. Their power would destroy us all," Ria said. "But we don't have that many allies!" Caramba replied. "That's exactly where the problem lies: we're outnumbered. But with the right tactics, we might get to our goal," Ria explained. "So, we're going to do this: The Sirens give us backup, and divert the boat patrols as we sneak in. Clovis, then you come into play; you have to open the door for us, and Crogar clears the way. As soon as we get rid of the guards, we split up: Crogar and Cece, you go into the cell wing and look for Zak. Caramba, Calabrass and I look around the throne room. Once one of us has found him, either I will send Cece a message or vice versa. We only have this one chance - are you ready?" Everyone nodded resolutely. The plan wasn't perfect, but at least they had one. 

They were on their way to Vapir when a small boat came towards them. "Well, look at who still dares to appear here. Flint, the would-be pirate." Flint put on an innocent face. "I come in peace." Ria frowned. "Why should we believe you?" "Because I can help you. I can take you to Skullivar's fortress." Ria looked at Flint suspiciously. "Well, let's say we trust you: Why this sudden change of sides?" Flint had meanwhile gone on the deck of the Chaos. "Because Skullivar has totally lost his mind!" Ria looked over questioningly at Cece, who nodded. Ria extended her hand to Flint. "All right. Let us agree on a temporary ceasefire." She pulled Flint's arm down, and looked at him darkly. "If you deceive us or anything else, I will send you personally to Valhalla."
