Zak Storm - The Chosen One

"I'll Never Let You Go!"

Ria's gaze remained stuck in one place. "I just don't believe it..." she breathed. That's all she could get out at that moment. She took a few steps forward, then stopped and looked into bright blue eyes. 

Z: "Hey Ria..." 

R(falls into Zak's arms): "Zak! My God, you're alive! I missed you so much." 

Ria burst into tears. Tears of joy. Ria pressed her brother to herself. "I'm so sorry, so infinitely sorry. I didn't want that argument to be the last time we saw each other before you were hypnotised. Please forgive me!" Zak patted her shoulder reassuringly. "I already have! It's okay. Forget everything." Despite all the joy, Zak had not yet realised the whole situation. "How is this possible? I was dead... and Skullivar had-" Ria put her finger on Zak's lips. "That is completely unimportant at the moment. The main thing is that you are alive again." Ria hugged Zak again. 

When she broke away, Crogar and the others came running. "Zak!" Crogar picked up Zak, and almost squeezed out his air. "Crogar is happy that Captain Zak is back!" "Yes... I... also Crogar... okay, would... you please let me... breathe... again!" Crogar put him down and he gasped for air. Then he looked into Cece's eyes, which said more than a thousand words. Without saying anything, she took Zak in her arms. "Please never do that again, okay?" Zak returned the hug. 

Ria took Calabrass and handed him over to Zak. "I think this is yours..." The two watched each other for a long time. 

Z: "Calabrass... nice to see you." 

C: "Well... I... I missed you a lot, Captain." 

R(whispering): "He's never said anything so nice!" 

C: "It was... as if a part of me was missing... the adventurous, daredevil side..." 

Zak smiled at Calabrass. "Nice to have you back with us, Captain," Caramba said happily. 

"But seriously, how did you manage to revive me?" Zak asked confusedly. "Well... you missed a lot when you were in the afterlife. But thank you for your advice... before..." Zak grinned at her and the old familiarity was back. 

"Ria has been granted her wish," Cece said. "The one from Chronos?" Ria nodded. "Her greatest wish was to go home, that we all leave the triangle. Nevertheless, she had decided to bring you back to life." Zak looked at his sister in amazement. "Did you do that for me? You have renounced your freedom to bring me back?" Ria smiled crookedly. "It was the only possible chance. We will definitely go home at some point, but revive a dead man... it's only possible with magic." Zak was close to tears. "Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I can't believe it." Zak hugged Ria and they thought they would never let go. "I won't let that happen again!" whispered Ria in his ear. He looked at her with a smile...

But they had forgotten a little thing...
