Hey, I'm back! Did you miss me? Well I hope so! Now, this chapter won't be as long as the last one, I mean that one was looooooooooooooong, but I hope it's not to short. So on with the story!
Chapter 4: Teeth, Mummies, and Tombs, Oh My!
After riding down the elevator, Flora, Tak, and Sydney were in the burial grounds. It was a dreary place. Bones and tombs were everywhere and the area was covered with Nerblis.
"Ug, this is not a happy place." said Sydney.
"You could say that again." said Tak.
"Come on you guys, this place is cool. Many great pupanunu people are buried here." said Flora.
"Why are we here again?" asked Sydney.
"We, namely you and Tak, need to find the golden tooth, put them into the statue, awaken the King of Warriors, and retrieve the staff."
"Okay, sounds easy enough. Lets go!"
Sydney jumped down platform-to-platform, Flora and Tak brining up the rear.
"She's defiantly a… character."
"No kidding. But what freaks me out is the fact that she knew about my dream and everything."
"Really? Weird. Oh, hey, I see the tooth! It's up on the platform."
"Great, now all we need to do is find a way up there." said Sydney.
"Ga! Where did you come from?" said Tak almost falling off the platform.
"What? When Flora yelled where the tooth was, I came back."
"Wow, that was speedy." said Flora.
"Thanks. Now… where do we go?"
"We have to get up to that platform."
"RIGHT! Look for a path… or something."
So they looked… and looked… and looked… and after sometime they found a path that would lead them up to the platform. Unfortunately, there was a Nerbil in the way.
"How do we get passed that- that thing?" asked Sydney.
"Well if you had powers, you could use them to destroy it." said Flora.
"Wait, Sydney you have powers don't you." said Tak.
"Well… yes, but I was hoping to show you at a different time. Oh, alright, I'll do it."
Sydney closed her eyes. Suddenly her hands were glowing red. Tak looked closer, her hands had fireballs in them. She stepped on the path in front of the Nerbil. Before the Nerbil knew what happened, Sydney lifted her hand and shot the Nerbil with one of the fireballs. It disappeared on the spot.
"Oh my…" said Flora.
"That was cool!" said Tak running over to Sydney.
"Thanks." said Sydney, blushing. They ran up the path to where the tooth was and placed it in the statue. It lit up and the sign on the statue and the door lit up. The door then opened up, revealing a crypt.
"Is that suppose to happen?" asked Sydney
"Yes. We have to get the staff and bring it back to Jibolba." said Flora.
"Well then lets get it and get out of here." said Tak running in. Sydney and Flora followed in after Tak.
The tomb was as nice as expected. It was covered with cobwebs and dust. There were boxes made out of bones and a crypt in the middle. The top of the crypt started to move. A mummy stared to get out and with a 'thump' fell to the ground. He got up, dusted himself off, and started hacking up a lung.
"Whoa, you ok?" asked Tak.
"That happens all the time. You get these dust balls in your throat, they feel like little rocks. (hack)So you're the great warrior of the Pupanunu People's Prophecy hm, come to take the staff of your ancestors. Well you don't look so great to me!"
"Me? Oh, I'm not the great warrior, that's Lok's job. I'm just here to take the staff to Jibolba."
"The Prophecy says only the great warrior can have the staff. If you can take it from me, hm, you are meant to have it."
Tak walked forward, grabbed the staff, and pulled. He got the staff, but he also got an arm.
"Whoa."
"Ah man that's my fightin' arm. What a drag."
"Ewe."
"Take the staff great warrior, use it wisely and often. And DON'T EVER TOUCH ME AGAIN! Hm."
With that, the mummy turned around and walked back into the crypt.
"Well, that was weird." said Sydney.
"Diffidently."
"Who cares! Tak, what you hold in your hands is a powerful weapon." said Flora with awe.
"You mean that little stick thing is a weapon?" asked Sydney. Flora gave her a dirty look.
"Yes it is." Flora said shortly.
"Well, what can it do?" asked Tak elbowing Sydney. She fell silent.
"You're able to jump onto higher places. And you're able to hit enemies farther away and if we get acorns, you can use the staff as a blowgun."
"So it's like a two of one deal, cool!" said Sydney.
"Ok, so, off to are next task." said Tak.
"And that would be?"
"Finding the plants to help change Lok back."
"Oh, right, lets go!"
