Zak Storm's Sister

A discovery

Zak's Point of View

Me and Cece were buying supplies in the market. Caramba was busy adding some finishing touches to a new gadget he's been working on for me, Clovis was helping him (more like clogging up his nostrils with the smelly stench of his farts) and Crogar was sleeping, but we knew after we saw him trying to whack Clovis with a deckchair the other day when he disturbed him, that if we woke him, we'd have to talk to his sword. (Episode 7: Troll Diving when Clovis accidentally woke Crogar by falling on top of him. I just find that part really funny.) 

"Alright Cece, what do we need?" I asked. "Um... * she took out the shopping list * Bread, meat and apples." "Cool. The market's just up there. I'll pay." I replied, but then heard screaming. "Something is wrong. Bones?" Cece asked, and then we heard the many poundings of footsteps, and a gang of skeletons rounded the corner and stood a few metres away from us facing one of the stalls. Then one of them turned, and said "Zak Storm!" "The skeleton patrol!" Calabrass replied. They took out their guns and started firing at us. "Run!" I shouted, and we ran towards the beach to where we anchored the ship. 

Rosa's Point of View

I was walking along the beach, when I came across a ship. Perfect! The people can help me. I ran along the beach. 

As I slowly climbed onto the ship, I looked around but as I stood on the deck, a big, burly man opened his eyes and looked straight at me. "INTRUDER!" He shouted, and grabbed what looked like an aeroplane wing on a bone and ran towards me. "Ahhhh!" I screamed, and ducked before he hit me. Then, a ghost and a robot ran out of a side door (Well, I suppose the ghost flew). "Crogar, what's going on?" The ghost asked, and as he looked at me, I screamed again and ended up falling off the side of the ship. 

"Intruder was tossed overboard. Crogar's fine muscles always protect the ship!" I heard the big man reply as I slowly climbed back up. The robot looking thing saw me and walked towards me. He grabbed my hand and helped me back onto the ship. "Thanks." I replied, but then the big man looked up at me, growling. "Crogar, stop! It's okay! Who are you and what are you doing here?" The robot asked. "I'm Rosa... Rosa Storm, and, well... me and my brother were surfing a few days ago and we both got pulled into a vortex which took us here, but he wasn't with me when I woke up. I've asked around, and everyone on this island seems to know him, but I don't actually know where he is. I saw him once attacking some skeleton... but then I haven't seen him since." I explained. 

Everyone's mouths dropped the minute I said my surname. "Um... is everything okay?" I asked, nervously. "Yes, everything's fine." The robot said, and the front hatch opened to reveal a little green alien. "I'm Caramba, nice to meet you. This is Clovis..." He said, pointing to the ghost who waved at me. "And that's Crogar." He concluded, pointing to the Viking. "Crogar is sorry for accidentally nearly smashing Captain's sister." Crogar said. "That's okay, wait... Captain? You know where Zak is?" I asked. "Of course, we're his friends. In fact, I think that's him right now." Caramba said, pointing to the other end of the beach. 

I looked closer and I saw my brother running towards the ship with the fish-looking girl from the other day and a sword on his back, being chased by a band of skeletons. They both hid behind a rock, and the skeletons ran round the corner. Then they slowly crept back onto the ship. 

"That was a close call." The girl said. "Yes..." Zak started, but then stopped in his tracks when he saw me. "R... Rosa? What are you doing here?!" He asked. "Well..."
