Chapter 4
Disclaimer: I hate repeating myself
Billy was looking through the large library that had been put up on the top level of the base. She had been on a latter when, she felt a chilling wind next to her, and she fell to the floor with a hard thud, and a big purple book fell and opened next to her, the pages flipping in the wind. She rubbed her lower back as she stood up, and looked down at the book. she hadn't seen this one on the shelf as she picked it up and settled down in a large chair to read.
'The Tome of the Infinite'
She flipped through the pages and they symbols all seemed to blur together, an occasional sketch thrown and here and there. She looked around carefully and slipped it into her bag and slipped out of library before Tyler could see she was gone.
The door to Udonna's quarters was solid and made a large empty sound when Billy knocked.
"Enter", a loud voice echoed through the lock as Billy pushed the oak door with a grunt. She emerged in the center of the tree in Briar Cliff.
"Billy my dear how can I help you today?", Udonna greeted her with a smile and set her wand down.
"I was in the Library and this icy wind knocked me off this latter, and i SWEAR this book appeared next to me. I can't read anything in here, it's all in this weird language and alchemy symbols."
"My dear the forces of this world and the next are very odd, but don't read into this, It's simply a book of loar. Thank you.", She gripped the book and showed Billy her way out, after the heavy door slammed shut, she threw open the book and waved her hands furiously over the glass ball.
"Helka namen atu atu eleka namen!", She looked intently into the ball and back at the book.
"The Tome has finally appeared the time is at hand. If we can find it before she does, we can stop her in her tracks. Stop the future from happening and return order.", Udonna was very intent on whoever was on the other side of the globe.
She set to work quickly translating the text with her wand waving her hands furiously over the pages, and quickly the text melted and formed the image of five swords in a massive rock, her hands stop as she gazes onto the page.
She grabbed the book and her wand and tapes the door, opening it directly into Haley's study.
"Billy found the Tome, or should i say someone wanted Billy to find it. I started translating it and this is what I found.", She flipped this book open and set it down on a clear spot on the desk. They gazed at it together.
"Aren't those?", Haley trailed off
"Yes they are.", Udonna finished Haley's sentence, "Do we know where they are?"
"Mirinoi, the last time anyone checked. I can try and contact Kendrix, and see if the Terra Ventrue is still in orbit around Mirinoi. But are we sure these are the keys is finding it?", Haley asked
"No, but I'm going to keep working through the Tome and see what else I can find.", Udonna said with a quick smile.
Egypt
Kat dusted off her hands as they climbed back into the DATS jet.
"I hate the desert assignments i get sand in EVERYTHING!", Ace pulled off his boots and poured out a pile of sand onto the floor.
Megumi slid into the pilot seat ad snapped her safety belt.
"All rangers, ready for blast off", the jest thrusters burned a light blue as the jet flew into the sky.
"Where those grave robbers really after that little thing?", Ianto asked
"Well what is it?". Riley asked
"It looks like a scarab beetle made from gold and jewels. Maybe Haley will know what's up with it.", Kat commented slipping it into her bag.
New York
Billy knocked on the door to Haley's study before opening the door. Haley closed the book of translated text that Udonna had given her from the Tome.
"How can I help you dear?", Haley gave a cheery smile
"My, team is getting nervous, nothing here has been happening.", Billy said sitting down against the wall
"Well this is how things happened before the attacks started. Things will get back in a flow so don't worry.", Haley smiled at the young ranger.
Kat burst in with Stark in tow and Scarab in hand.
"Haley, the grave robbers where looking for something specific and we think this was it.", Kat handed the treasure to Haley.
"Where did you find this?", Haley looked worried flipping open the book to a page with a fold out map.
"Uh, valley of the kings. The 13th pyramid of the un-known rulers.", Stark said.
Haley turned looking at the map, and circled it in red before sitting the scarab down on the map and inspected it closely before pinching the front pincers and the light in the room disappeared and the scarabs wings fluttered creating a sapphire glow and an orb floated in the air above it. The scarab took flight and flew around the orb.
"It's a globe.", Stark whispered. the scarab flew through a point before everything faded. The Scarab sat on the map and the a pin point on the map glowed purple.
"Billy get Udonna. I think we found another relic.", Haley said with a smile before picking up the Scarab relic.
"Woh, since when are we treasure hunters?", Kat and Stark said almost at the same time.
"I didn't want to say anything until we had some concrete proof, but."
