GW: I'll be randomly updating stories as I go along so please bear with me. God, I'm a mess right now. On that note, here's the next chapter and hopefully the mummy will finally appear!

Zuko: Yes! I will finally-

Everyone: Shut up!

Zuko: You guys are mean! Enjoy the chapter.


Chambers of Death

The heroes have moved onto another part of the cave and started work at chipping away at the ceiling. It was mostly everyone except Renee, Winter, and Glowworm. Renee was reading from a book while the authoresses…lazied about.

"You two could try to help," Danny scolded the girls.

"We believe that over-exerting yourself will kill you eventually," Glowworm shrugged.

"Yeah. You guys are doing okay without us," Winter added.

"She's right. We don't need two weak hybrids, especially a wittle bunny wabbit!" Hal mocked as Bandanna laughed.

"IT"S ON NOW!!" the hybrids screamed as they began to work twice as fast as the others. Renee was ignoring the brawl as she read aloud, "According to these hieroglyphics, the statue is overhead. If we keep digging, we'll reach his legs." Soon Renee was helping the digging.

"And when those smelly animals go to sleep, no offense GW, Hobbes, and WLS," Eddy apologized.

"None ta-Hey!" the authoresses and tiger complained as Eddy continued, "We'll sneak up on them and take that book right from under their noses."

"Sneak up on who, Eddy?" Ed asked stupidly.

"Ed, please pay attention next time," Double D groaned.

"Are you sure we can reach the compartment from here?" Rai asked doubtfully.

"Sure, Raimundo, if those beastly animals haven't gotten their first," June smiled, then frowned and said to the GW, WLS, and Hobbes, "Again no offense."

"Again, none take-Will you guys knock it off!?" Hobbes shouted as Glowworm and Winter sweat-dropped.

"Say, where'd our smelly fat cat go?" Hero inquired as she looked around.

"Who cares!?" Sparky laughed.

"Sparky!"

"Sorry, mommy," Sparky smiled innocently as the team continued.


Meanwhile, Pete was crawling, with difficulty, through a small tunnel and holding a torch in one hand.

"Whoever invented tunnels will pay heavily!" Pete grumbled as he went along. Suddenly, he froze and looked up to see a giant mural. It appeared to be a man…with blue-jeweled insects on him.

Pete plucked one off the wall and examined it. "Blue gold? This will pay a lot!" he placed in his bag, then mimicked the almost terrified look on the man's face before he continued harvesting the bugs…


"Let's look for some treasure!" Jake Spidermonkey exclaimed as he stuck a crowbar into the compartment, ready to open it. Lumpus, who was using littler tools to open the compartment, stopped the monkey and scolded, "You may not be as dumb as that monkey Lazlo, but you're close enough!"

"Why can't we open it?" Edward said.

"Ozai was no fool," Lumpus stated. "He'd probably set some traps to protect his treasures."

"Alrighty, then," Crocker said as Jake backed off. "We'll let those DIGIMON do the work." The Digimon gulped as they set to work.

"I'm not going to open that chest," a Renamon said. They gasped when Edward pulled out his gun and aimed it at the poor Digimon.

"We shoulda stayed in Hawaii," an Agumon gulped as he, the Renamon, and a Gatomon grabbed crowbars and started to work on the compartment while the others stood back, scared to death.

Jack, Crocker, and the animals exchange nervous looks and take some steps back.


Meanwhile…

Our heroes were still working away into the ceiling. Renee was entertaining the whole group with Egyptian deaths. By 'entertaining,' I mean that she was totally grossing them out.

"So, lemme get this straight," Rai said, "they would stick a sharp, red-hot poker in your nose, cut your brain into tiny pieces, then rip it all out of your nose?"

"Ouch! That must really hurt!" Eddy cringed.

"Sounds like the movie I saw last night, 'I was an Egyptian Zombie Killer: The Sequel," Ed said stupidly.

"Ed, did you eat your breakfast this morning?" Edd sighed.

"I forgot to wear clean underwear this morning, you guys!" Everyone looked at Ed like he had corn growing out of his ears while Hero said warily, "Okaaaay."

"Anyways, the art of doing that to someone is called mummification," Renee continued. "You're already dead when they do this.".

"Even if they're dead, it's still…" Hobbes drifted off.

"Yeah, that kinda pain could bring anyone back to life!" Rai said.

"Really, you two are acting worse than Ray-Ray," June rolled her eyes.

Suddenly, a huge chunk of the ceiling gave out, startling the team.

Rai grabbed Renee while Danny grabbed June, Edd grabbed Hero, and Hobbes grabbed GW while everyone else jumped out of the way. A giant stone casement drops out of the ceiling and crashes to the floor.


With the animals, they hear the crash. Jack, Crocker, and the animals have their weapons pointed to the ground while Lumpus could are less. He orders the Digimon to pull harder.

"Pull!" Lumpus ordered. The three Digimon pulled hard as the seams of the compartment moved slightly and became loosened.

"Pull!" Lumpus yells again as the compartment becomes looser.

"PULL!" Lumpus shouts one last time as the Digimon give one last pull. The compartment comes undone…

An intense burst of liquid sprays out of the seam and hits the three Digimon. Their skin melts off their face as they scream in agony.

As they are dying, they're already half-skeletal as they hit the floor.

"I want my mommy," Jack gulped as everyone looked in horror.


Back with our heroes...

The dust started to clear as the heroes regained their senses. Raimundo, Danny, Edd, and Hobbes were still holding onto Renee, June, Hero, and GW in that order when Eddy and Hal started to chuckle. The teammates let them go and blushed furiously as Renee cleared her throat and stared at the massive stone casement.

"Oh my god…," Renee gasped as they went near it. "It looks like a sarcophagus!" I bet you can all guess whose sarcophagus this is…

"What kind of fruit-loop would bury someone on the ceiling?" Danny asked incredulously.

"They didn't," Renee said. "They buried him at the foot of Anubis. He was either someone of great importance…or he did something very naughty."

"Maybe he was both," Glowworm winked to the readers.


Back with Pete…

The fat cat was still busy harvesting those 'blue-jeweled bugs.' He dropped one into his bag, then started to pry another one from the wall, chuckling greedily. It rips off, he drops it into his bag…only it missed and dropped into the sand.

Then, the shell cracked open to reveal a hideous little scarab. It raced over to Pete's boot, quickly burrowed into it, and slid inside.

The cat's eyes flew open as he started to scream. He dropped his knife and frantically starts to claw at his pant leg. He goes higher and higher until he rips his armor off to reveal a large lump moving across his chest. He tries to claw at it, but it keeps burrowing upwards.

It crawls up his neck as he started to choke and gag.

Then, the beetle went into his head…


With our heroes…

Rai, Renee, and their pals were cleaning the dust off of the sarcophagus, revealing a single, ominous hieroglyphic. Renee stared at it as Eddy said impatiently, "Well, who is the dead coot!?"

"Eddy, show some respect for the dead!" Edd scolded.

"It says…'He who shall not be named,'" Renee said in a confused tone.

"That sounds cursed to me. And I'm done with curses!" Hal said.

"Ditto," Sparky agreed.

"I second that emotion," Bandanna added.

Rai rolled his eyes as he dusts off a huge lock. "There's some sort of lock here. You say these things are made of granite with a steel interior?"

"Quarried granite with a cobalt lining," Renee said.

"Well, whoever this pigeon is in that sarcopho-whatever, he sure wasn't getting out," Eddy said.

"No kiddin'. Without a key, not even our powers can open this. It'll take us a whole month!" Danny groaned.

Renee came to a realization. "A key? A key! That's what he was talking about!"

"Who was talking about?" Winter asked as Renee rummaged through Eddy's pack.

"The teen on the barge. The one in the armor, she was looking for a key!" Renee pulled out the box, which is now a key. Eddy tried to take it back.

"Hey, that's mine!" Eddy whined as Renee smacked his hand away. "Naughty Eddy," Ed scolded playfully as Eddy whacked the lovable oaf's head and mumbled, "Shut up, Monobrow!"

Renee quickly unfolded the box and it turned into the exact same shape as the lock's keyhole. Renee and her teammates smiled happily.

At that very moment, screams of Pete could be heard echoing through the labyrinth. All of them turn off running, but not before Eddy grabbed the key.

Pete was screaming and dancing wildly around the labyrinth, in extreme pain in his head.

Rai, Danny, Eddy, Hobbes, and Hal tried to grab him, but the fat cat pushed them away and ran down the hall as he kept screaming. He then slammed his forehead into the wall and dropped to the ground. Dead as a doornail with his eyes wide-open.

The heroes are also equally stunned as they stare at the dead cat. Hobbes shook his head and said to himself, "I really wish I was with the blond midget right now."


GW: How did everyone like the chapter? (turns to see everyone stunned)

Edd: Good Lord, Glowworm! You killed four people in ONE chapter!

GW: Well, I didn't exactly name the chapter 'Chambers of Death' for nothing, you know. Okay, here's the thing: This story, National Treasure: FF Style, Beauty and the Homunculus, and Wrath, Sam, & Co. will all be my projects for now until they are completed. Any other future stories will come after these four stories are done. Kingdom Toons will be deleted, but not cancelled after these four stories. I will post a new Kingdom Toons with a different and, hopefully, better cast. Thank you and until next time…

Ed, Edd, and Eddy: Read & Review!
