The Adventures of The Neo Detectives: Part Four

Journey to the Hacker's House

They were sitting in the Neopian Express. "Are you sure about this, Shirlie?" Bouncer asked, bouncing in his seat. "Yes. Pretty sure. Anastasia must have moved to Mystery Island!" "But how do you know?"

"I remember she was carrying a magazine about Mystery Island when she came to apply for the job..."

"Are you sure that that's good enough proof?" Courage asked Shirlie. "I know it doesn't seem very reliable, but I have a hunch.." Shirlie takes a photo of Milky out of her pocket, and looks at it sadly.

They finally arrive at the dock, where they'll have to take a boat to Mystery Island. A coconut with legs greets them. They all climb into a boat, and the coconut rows.

When they arrived, Bouncer and Dragonboy said they were hungry, so they stopped by the fruit store, and bought some Tigersquash. "We'll have to look around for Anastasia." Shirlie says, and takes out a map of Mystery Island.

They search, and search, and search.....

At the end of the day, they're all tired and hungry. They take the boat back to Neopia, this time with a different coconut. Lindsey suggested to stop by the bakery to get something to eat, so they all walked there.

But suddenly, Bouncer cried out excitedly, "Wow! Looky here! I found an average Nerkmid!!" Everyone rushed over, oohing and ahhing, over the treasure Bouncer had found. Suddenly, the same yellow Kau ran up behind them, grabbing the Nerkmid!

But this time, they were ready! Lindsey, Shirlie, Dean, and the others, ran after the Kau. With Courage and Dragonboy in the lead. The Kau ran to the dock and jumped into a boat, and rowed away so fast, that the coconut didn't get a chance to climb in! The others also jumped into a boat, with the coconut, and rowed after the Kau.

When they got to the shore of Mystery Island, they saw Anastasia waiting for the Kau at the water's edge. She had long black hair, and big, evil looking dark green eyes. She was clutching a bottle of swirling blue and silver liquid in her hand.

The Kau climbed out of the boat and ran up to Anastasia, holding the Nerkmid in his paw. Easter, Dragonboy, and the others, hid behind some tall palm trees, watching Milky and Anastasia. Milky suddenly looked dizzy. He fell over, then stood up, blinking.

"Who are you? Where's Mommy? Shiiirrrrrliiiiieeeeee!!" The Kau started wailing. "So it was magic! Just like Shirlie said!" Easter whispered to the others. "We have to stop her!" Shirlie whispered back, then jumped out from behind the palm trees.

"You give me back my Kau, Anastasia!!" Shirlie yelled. Anastasia looked startled, but soon realized what was going on. She splashed the liquid on Milky, making him fall over again. This time, when he got up, his eyes were the same dark green color as Anastasia's. He growled at Shirlie and went to stand beside Anastasia.

"No! Milky! It's me! Shirlie. Don't you remember me?" Shirlie cried out. "Please recognize me........"
