P.S. Please. PLEASE. PLEASE! READ MY OTHER STORY: SPECIAL SPECIMEN! I BEG OF YOU! Please . . . okay. Thanks!
5,000 years ago, a fierce warrior known as the Scorpion King set out to conquer the known world. He led his troops in a bloody battle.
After a vicious campaign that lasted for seven long years, The Scorpion King and his remaining army were defeated and driven deep into the desert of Ahm Shere.
One by one . . . They slowly perished under the scorching sun until only the warrior himself was left. Near death the Scorpion King made a pact with the dark God Anubis that if Anubis spared his life and gave him the strength to conquer his enemies, he would give him his soul.
Anubis accepted his offer and spared his life. The Scorpion King received an Oasis in the middle of Am Shere and Anubis gave him control of his army . . . And like an evil flood they washed away all that stood before them. They threw people from their homes and set afire to whatever else was left.
After the task was done, Anubis forced the Scorpion King to serve him for all time. He took away his mortal soul and his army returned to the sand from whence they came. Where they wait . . . silently 'till they are summoned once again.
Inuyasha walked through the tomb slowly with his favorite gun out just in case. The spider webs hanging from the ceiling didn't help subdue his uneasiness. He turned a corner gun first and stepped forward slowly. Ten . . . He turned around and . . . was face-to-face with his son.
"Ahhhh!" Shippo, Inuyasha's son (A/n: Everybody happy now?) Fell backwards onto the ground.
"Shippo. ?" Inuyasha's voice almost cracked. He held his hand out to help his son up.
"Yeah. What did you think? A mummy had come back to life?" Shippo accepted the help and got up and dusted himself off.
"I'll tell you the story sometime." Inuyasha sighed, "What're you doing down here anyway. I thought your mother and I told you to wait in the temple."
"But I."
"No 'but's! It's dangerous down here, Shippo."
"But, I saw your tattoo, The pyramid, and the eye. In the temple!"
"What?" Inuyasha eyebrows rose. Shippo pulled off his wristband that covered his tattoo and pointed.
"See. Right here."
"Hey. Uh. Well . . . You go back up to the temple and I'll come take a look at that in a minute."
"Okay." Shippo walked the opposite direction of his father and back to where he'd come, "What should I do?"
"I don't know . . . Surprise me." Inuyasha sighted, "Build a better mouse trap."
Inuyasha made his way down the tunnel to Kagome(A/N: She doesn't even look like she had a kid in this movie. :D ). She was gently dusting off a huge tablet like door.
Kagome was busy. When she heard a hissing noise, she looked confused for a moment then, she looked down to see a snake. Red one with black and white stripes slithering around her feet.
"Go away." She lifted it up with her foot and sent it flying across the room right at the time that Inuyasha came into the room. He barely dodged it.
"Those are poisonous you know."
"Only if they bite you." Kagome smiled, "So, what was that about?"
"Oh. Nothing. Shippo just wanted to show me something." Inuyasha sighed, "I swear that kid gets more and more like you every day."
"By 'More like me' do you mean cute, sweet, and devilishly charming?" Kagome smiled at him.
"No..By 'more like you' I mean, he's driving me crazy!" Inuyasha moved next to her and stared at the tablet,"So, where are we with this?"
"Hammer and Chisel!" Kagome held up a miniature hammer and chisel. Inuyasha looked at her like she was crazy. There was a small silence and Kagome gave in,"Alright, Alright we'll do it your way!" She grabbed a crowbar and gave it to Inuyasha.
"Thank you." Inuyasha took it and pulled back. Kagome squeezed her eyes shut and the loud crash that followed after rang in her ears. The tablet fell down.
Kagome made her way over to it and look around. The room's ground was riddled with Tarantulas and black scorpions. None of them seemed startled at their presence and they didn't look like they had any intention of biting them. Kagome stepped carefully over them and went to the door in the far back of the room. It was practically covered in spider webs.
" Since I had that dream this place has been all I could think about." Kagome stated.
"Yeah, and ever since you had that dream I haven't had a decent night's sleep." Inuyasha walked into the room. He stepped on the spiders and scorpions haphazardly. Kagome ignored the crunch sounds.
"I feel like I've been here before. I know I've been here before."
"Kagome, nobody has been here, not for 2000 years anyway."
Kagome reached her hand out and pulled on a handle. There was a clunk sound and the door behind her opened.
"Then, how do I seem to know exactly where I'm going?"
Outside of the structure they were deep inside of three men were getting off of their horses and making their way inside.(A/N: That was hard to write. '''';;)
Shippo was busy placing a piece of cheese on his newly made mouse trap. He heard voices and footsteps. He quickly grabbed his backpack and scrambled up into a tall rickety lookout site to hide. The three men came into view. One was buff and dark skinned, another was skinny and white with a very country look to him, the last one was burly looking and had a tan skin tone. He was talking to the others.
"You guys see if it's around here. I'll go take care of the happy couple." He pulled out his gun and went in the other direction.(A/n: Had to change that phrase because Inuyasha didn't have a last name in the first story.)
Kagome and Inuyasha were in separate rooms. They were both looking around with their torches in hand. Kagome walked into another room and completely stopped. She moved her torch and the room changed. It became full of color and the door in front was opening before her. Kagome watched astonished. A women walked out and Kagome could see inside. There was a box guarded by two soldiers. The door began to close slowly and the women's hand reached out to lock it. There was a star shaped lock on the door and the women began to turn it. Kagome watched closely, just as the women turned around Inuyasha walked into her point of vision and it all disappeared.
Kagome began to move the torch back and forth in a attempt to make the vision come back but, she only succeeded in looking like she was crazy. Inuyasha took his crowbar and started to work on the door. He turned and looked at her for a moment before laying on the sarcasm.
"Y'know, if you move that fast enough you can almost write you're name?"
"I just had a vision. It was like my dream but, it was here. I was actually here in ancient times."
"Well," Inuyasha tried to open the door one more time,"If you really were here, can you show me how to open this thing?" Kagome stepped forward.
"Alright..Hold this." She handed him her torch. She grabbed the star-shaped lock and turned it in the pattern that the women had turned it. The same clunk sound came and the door opened. Inuyasha watched it quizzically.
"Okay, now you're starting to scare me."
"I'm starting to scare myself." Kagome remarked.
Meanwhile, the men were still rummaging through the stuff in the temple. Shippo decided to have a little fun though and pulled out his sling shot. He grabbed a rock and pulled it back. He aimed and shot the skinny pale one in the head.
"Ah! Jack! Someone's hit me head!" He had a very strong country accent.
"Shut up, Smitty!" The man now known as Jack replied kind of harshly,"This place is cursed. We don't want to wake the gods."
The last of the three men was following the trail of Kagome and Inuyasha closely. He had just come to the room full of scorpions and tarantulas. But, apparently he didn't know they were there because they had crawled halfway up his legs before he felt them. He shook them off and ran out of the room.
Kagome's hand reached up and pulled a huge clump of spider webs off of a huge round thing. It had a engraving on it with a scorpions among other things.
"This is the emblem of the Scorpion King. He's suppose to be pure myth. No artifacts or anything have been found to prove he existed."
"Maybe they didn't want them to find him." Inuyasha ground out. Kagome was looking down at a chest that was in front of them.
"Let's open this."
"No Kagome. I got a bad feeling about this."
Inuyasha and Kagome didn't even hear the footsteps of the man that was coming up behind them from the trail.
"Oh. It's just a chest. No harm ever came from opening a chest." Kagome and Inuyasha continued to argue.
"Yeah, and no harm ever came from reading a book either, but you remember how that one turned out."
"Oh..Come on. We can't stop now."
"Alright, you just remember I was the voice of reason here." Inuyasha moved his crowbar to into the lid of the chest.
"Yeah, for once."
Smitty and Jack were still in the temple looking through things. Shippo took out his sling shot again. He shot Smitty in the butt this time. He cried out again. Shippo hid behind something, He gave a little laugh and it echoed through the room. He clamped his hand over his mouth and look around. Jack had already heard it unfortunately.
Kagome were busily trying to open the chest. Kagome had the crowbar and was trying to pry it open. Inuyasha was left to his own devices while he was waiting, he looked around and his eyes fell upon one of the dead guys. He had a certain necklace around his neck that caught his eye. It had the same star shape as the lock on the door. He took it from around his neck.
"Hey, honey." Inuyasha got Kagome's attention,"Let's do it your way." Kagome smiled and took the necklace.
Kagome placed the crest in the lock on the chest and turned it slowly. The chest popped open. She opened it slowly and inside there was a bracelet. A solid gold bracelet with a scorpion body but, a dog head.
"The Bracelet of Anubis." Kagome whispered to herself.
Shippo just didn't know when to quit. He got his slingshot out again and shot it one more time. This time the shot didn't hit it's target but, it was caught in mid-air by Jack which was not good. Jack spun and his eyes locked on Shippo and his hiding location and that really wasn't good either.
"I'll take care of this" he whispered to Smitty and started to make his way up to Shippo.
The intruder behind them was just about to shoot. Kagome had just got her hands on the bracelet ,but it would not last long. Dirt began to fall from the ceiling and the ground began to shake underneath them.
"Oh my gosh!" Kagome threw the bracelet back in the chest.
"Well, it's a bit late for that isn't it!" Inuyasha looked frantic.
"Put it in rucksack!" Kagome picked up the chest and tried to give to Inuyasha.
"I've got a better idea! How about we leave it here!" Inuyasha moved to put it back.
"Well, it's a bit late for that isn't it!" Kagome moved in front of him.
"What does it say!" Inuyasha held it in front of her so, she could read it.
"Um..It says..'He who disturbs this bracelet shall drink from the Nile.." Kagome looked up at him,"Ah..Well that doesn't sound too bad."
Just as she said that, the wall burst open and water came along with it. The guy with the gun took off without Kagome and Inuyasha knowing. They went another way and saw the water coming down the other way. So, they ran (What could they do).
Jack was coming up Shippo's watchtower with a dagger in his mouth. There was nowhere to run and the tower was swinging dangerously on edge.
"Jack's gonna make fin fillets outta you, my son." Smitty commented.
Just as he said that, their head leader ran through the passage he'd went through and he ran right pass them.
"Jack, Smittus, let's go, we're leaving!" He yelled as he went out the door.
"Oh..Come on. Let's go!" Smitty called up to Jack and headed for the door. Jack grabbed the sides of the ladder and slid down to the ground (A/N: That had to hurt. Splinters!). He kicked out the supporting part Shippo's tower as he left uttering some sort of foreign linguistic communication.
Kagome and Inuyasha were running down the hall with the water in tow. They ran to a dead end with nowhere to run and the water rushing up to them. With nowhere to go they grasped each other and the water rushed over them.
Shippo at the moment was also in a bit of a predicament. The tower was going to collaspe at any moment and he had nowhere to go. The tower teetered to the left and into a pillar. Shippo grabbed hold of it as It fell to the left and caused a domino effect on several other pillars too. Shippo managed to get down somehow and surveyed the damage with one word.
"Wow."
Kagome and Inuyasha were trapped. They had swam up as far as they could for air but, there were bars blocking their escape and the water was steadily rising.
"This is bad, Kagome!" Inuyasha stated the obvious over the sound of the rushing water.
"We've had bad before!" Kagome replied.
"This is worst!" Inuyasha took a breath as the water began to rise over their heads.
The pillar Shippo had fallen off of was sliding down into the wall. Shippo hurried over and tried to push it back into place or stop it from crashing into the wall but, there was nothing a little kid could do about a huge stone pillar falling. He scurried off just as it hit the wall which crashed open and sent his parents flying out into muddy water. Of course, they were too busy coughing up water to notice the damage done to the temple.
"Mom...Dad..I can explain everything."
