Chapter 2
Behind The Hieroglyphs
They woke up, everywhere was dark. They could recognize, that the room was cramped. Rico spat out a flashlight and they saw the wall of the room, but it was different. Room have a triangle shape and the ceiling was in the form of spitz.
"Of course, we are inside the pyramid, on the peak" Kowalski said, they looked around, on the walls were strange symbols, probably hieroglyphs.
"So how can we get out from here?" Skipper asked, Rico spat out a dynamite, but Kowalski stopped him.
"It'll not work Rico. It a magical pyramid, we don't know what will happen, but I'm sure that nothing good" he said and looked closer at the symbols on the walls "I bet that I've seen it... somewhere..."
"Can you translate it?" Skipper asked.
"No, I can't understand this hieroglyphs. But this one I saw..."
"Frogs!" Rico said.
"What?"
"Oh, of course. Rico is right, when we fell down in the Prince's palace in Frogs Kingdom we found these hieroglyphs on the walls. Behind them was hide the last diadem I think that this time, it have a mystery too" Kowalski said and hit part of the wall with the familiar hieroglyphs, nothing happen "Maybe it's a normal... Ah!"
The floor disappeared and they fell down. They were in the room with the same shape like the earlier room. There were a lot of entries to the corridors, it was like a maze.
"We'll never get out from this pyramid" Kowalski said they looked around, walls have the hieroglyphs too.
"Just don't touch it again" Skipper warmed Kowalski.
"We have got a help" Private said and took something from the wall "Look"
It was a map of the pyramid. Corridors were leading to other rooms, from some of them was going next tunnels. But everything was leading back to the room, where they were.
"It's our new mystery, to get out of the pyramid, we must complete the tasks of these corridors and I can see..." Kowalski went closer to the one wall "Here's a recess in the round shape, we must find something to go further"
"Kowalski, it'll take forever. Ava is closer and closer to take the power and we still don't know where the power is"
"Have we got any other choice? This time kaboom will not help Rico" Kowalski repeated when Rico furtively spat out the dynamite.
They went to the first corridor on the left, flashlight wasn't needed because candles on the walls lit by themselves, it was weird, but it wasn't something special for them. They got to the round room, on the middle was something laying on the stone table. Rico took one step but Skipper stopped him.
"Do you think that it'll be easy to get there?" Skipper said, Rico spat out a coin and gave it to Skipper. He threw it and the coin went through the room, running a arrows-shooting. It was a trap.
"Oh, right, how we'll get there?" Private asked.
"We need Mort" Kowalski said, they looked at him "What?"
Meanwhile about Mort. Lemurs went through the zoo and stopped near the penguins' habitat.
"Wait, where are the stupid penguins?" Julien asked.
"I have no idea, your majesty" Maurice said.
"I smell here a smelly penguins scam" Julien said and Mort grabbed his foot.
"I'll save king's feet" he said, Julien kicked him.
"DO NOT TOUCH THE FEET!"
Mort landed on the fishbowl and it opened. Lemurs went to the dark HQ.
"It looks that the penguins left the HQ about two or three days ago" Maurice said.
"Wise head thy" Julien said and looked at the door of Kowalski's lab "What is the noise, it's annoying and as your king I can't be annoying, why I'm annoying, stop it Maurice!"
"What can I do?" Maurice asked, then noise became more loudly and finally the door crushed.
"Hello my dear peng-you-ins" evil dolphin said standing on his segway.
"Oh, Mr. Mammal-Fish, hello" Julien said "Actually, we're looking for the stupid birds too"
"What... so they aren't here?" Blowhole asked.
"No"
"But I have an evil plan, who will try to defeat me?"
Julien hit Blowhole by one hand.
"You're defeated, happy?"
"No"
"So you have got a problem, we're going" Julien said and climbed on the ladder.
"Where, if I can ask?"
"To the Egypt"
"What's the idea at all? Why there?" Blowhole was surprised Julien shook his head.
"Fish, fish, fish. Didn't you listen to that ghost-humans in cold kingdom still without king I suppose"
"And what?... Oh right, they told something about the pyramid"
"Are you going with us?" Maurice asked.
"Of course not, good luck" Blowhole said and turned back from them. Lemurs got out of the HQ. Blowhole sighed "Ok, I'm going too"
"It's too dangerous, I don't think, that we should get this thing now" Kowalski said.
"Have you got any other idea?" Skipper asked, Rico was faster from them both, he ran through the room and got the stone table.
"Rico! Are you ok?"
Rico nodded and grabbed the thing from the table, but was it a good move? Suddenly they heard a noise and the pyramid shook...
"Kowalski, what's going on?!"
So for long updating, but I'm still working on it, so the next chapter can take a long time too, I hope you forgive me, review please!
