So, my awesome mom, Tinkbrown, showed me this awesome movie called Fifth Element, and this idea just came into my head. This is going to be a pretty long story, so please bear with me with this one. Please R&R!
Fifth Element in Wonderland
The sand blasted away at the outside of the pyramid, but it did not break the concentration of the archeologist diligently working inside. He carefully dusted away at the wall in front of him, revealing murals and symbols.
A small Arabian boy was holding a mirror near the door, reflecting the light from outside onto the wall where his master was excavating. The boy slumped forward slightly, nearly asleep, so that the light reflected elsewhere. The archeologist yelled, "Aziz! Light!" and the small boy jerked forward, and adjusted the mirror.
A teenage boy sat in the corner sketching a sailboat paused to mark a tally under a small table in the corner of his paper. "Aziz. Light." he murmured.
The archeologist dusted away another section of the wall, and said, "Fascinating! Look at this! It says that every 2000 years, a great evil will enter the world, bringing chaos and ruin. But, it can be defeated by a weapon, a combination of all four elements, fire, water, earth, and wind, and a perfect being in the center, a fifth element."
The priest, listening from around a corner, pulled out a canteen of water, and poured a small packet of poison inside. He crossed himself, then muttered to himself, "Lord forgive me. He already knows too much."
The priest strode into the room clutching the canteen, and threw on a forced smile. "Here, have a drink, Professor!"
The archeologist grabbed some drinking glasses, and set down his brushes. As the priest poured the poisoned water into the glasses, the professor explained the mural to him. The priest's eyes widened, and he hastily handed the glasses to the professor and the teenager. "Well then, a toast to your success!"
The professor raised the glass to his lips, paused, then said, "You don't toast with water!" then threw his glass on the ground, sending shards of glass everywhere.
The teenage boy set down his glass, then ran to fetch the bottle of wine from the truck outside.
The priest gasped, realizing that he had just failed, and the professor returned to uncovering the mural.
The teenager picked up the bottle from the truck, and walked through the tall hallway. He had just entered the hall when an enormous metal structure landed just outside the entrance of the hallway.
He gasped, and dove behind a pile of crates that the professor had drug inside the pyramid. An enormous metal panel swung down like a door, revealing the inside of a futuristic corridor.
From inside the corridor came these strange men in metal suits. They were huge and cumbersome, and they had wiring and piping out of their backs. Their heads (?) were more low on their bodies, giving them the appearance of gigantic hunchbacks. They hobbled inside the pyramids, all lined up in military rows. The teenager scrambled for a pad of paper, and quickly sketched one of the creatures.
The priest scurried up to one of the creatures, and followed it, telling it about some of the discoveries the archeological dig had made. The creature walked up to the wall the professor had been interpreting.
The professor finally noticed the coming of these creatures in the chamber, and gave out a small squeal. One of them shuffled up to him, and stared him straight in the eye. The professor raised a finger, and asked in a feeble voice, "A-Are you German?" The creature immistakably shook his small head back and forth.
Over by the wall, the creature that the priest had been talking to held out a finger, and a small key slid out of it. He, she, it searched for a sertain spot on the wall, then inserted the key into a crack in the design.
The entire wall slid back, revealing a secret chamber behind it. A small hallway led to a circular room, where, in the center, stood an enormous sarcophagus.
Five of the huge creatures shuffled down the small hallway, and the creature the priest talked to, who seemed to be the leader of this group of creatures, told the rest of the group, "Take the stones." When he spoke, he sounded like he had small pebbles bouncing around in his lungs; his voice sounded raspy and deep. He also spoke in broken English, sometimes his sentences would be oddly formed.
The creatures slowly shuffled towards the four corners of the room, where there were four pedestals each with their own rectangular-prism-shaped stone. They all gathered around a trunk, and placed the stones inside. The leader shut the trunk, and instructed the others to take it to the ship in his gravelly voice.
The professor stood, still in awe, watching the creatures take the sarcophagus to the ship along with the trunk with the stones. He finally dropped on the ground, scared to death, literally. The teenager, who had watched the entire scene from behind the crates, pulled out his revolver, and removed the safety.
"YOU KILLED THE PROFESSOR!" he screamed, waving the gun at the creatures. The priest ran in front of the gun's barrel, and said in a soothing voice, "They did not kill the professor. They are here to help us."
The teenager waved the gun, and yelled, "Help us, that's bull-!" He quickly aimed the gun at one of the creatures, and fired.
The bullet ricocheted off the creature's armor, and hit the wall. The enormous door started to slide forward, closing off the chamber.
The leader of the creatures, who was still inside the chamber, started to shuffle slowly towards the door. The priest beckoned for him to get a move on, but the leader only had one speed, and that was agonizingly slow.
The leader said, "When it is time for evil incarnate to challenge the Earth, we will return the Fifth Element to you. Until we arrive, you must pass on the secret."
The priest shook his head, and said, "But what will we do without you?"
The leader was almost to the door, but he was not fast enough. He extended the finger the key had come from, and stuck it out of the closing door. "Us not important. Only life important." The doors slammed shut on the leader's arm, leaving the extended finger with the key out in the open. The priest grabbed the key, and ran outside where the creatures were leaving in their ship.
As the ship rose into the sky, the priest yelled up at it, "I will pass on the secret!"
