Amasis Returns
"I apologize for the stupidity of my two gentlemen, Mr. Morbucks." Alex stated.
"Well, what's been done is done. All we can do is move forward." Morbucks replied. "Thank you again for bringing back my daughter."
"Your welcome."
"See you." Morbucks shut the door to his manor. Alex walked back to the dragon where Mario, Luigi, and Momoko were at.
"Mario. Luigi. You guys got very lucky." Alex stated. "I was able to persuade Mr. Morbucks to drop the charges for kidnapping. I had to pay him over 200,000 yen to have him drop the charges. Are you really that stupid?"
"No." Mario replied.
"You must be or you wouldn't have kidnapped Miss Morbucks."
"We thought she was the princess. We don't know what she looks like."
"Are you that serious?"
"Yeah." Luigi said. Alex sighed and thought for a bit.
"Ken must have forgotten to show them a picture of the princess." he said under his breath. "Damn it, Ken. How can you be so forgetful?" Then, he turned toward the two elmeti. "Okay, the princess looks to some extent a miniature version of her." He, then, points to Momoko.
"Okay. But where do we go now?"
After the debate, the four rode Shyvore back to the Professor's lab. The professor greeted them again. Then, a truck was being driven nearby and then the ball bearings broke and the truck. The wheel came out from under the truck causing the truck to crash. A case, that looked like a sarcophagus came out of the back of the truck. The driver came out of the truck after the crash.
"God, damn it!" he shouted. "Oh man. My truck is totaled." He looked at the sarcophagus. "Oh well, at least the case is fine." As he reached for it, the case shook many times. "Oh my god, the coffin's alive!" The driver fled without hesitation.
"Let me out. Someone let me out." a voice said from inside the coffin. For Momoko and Miyako who was outside at the time with the professor, the voice seemed familiar.
"Who's in there?" Momoko asked as she got closer.
"Blossom, is that you?" the voice asked.
"Yeah."
"Blossom, help me remove the case. So, I can get out." the voice didn't see anything except darkness. Momoko tried to push the lid to the sarcophagus open but it wouldn't budge.
"It's not moving."
"Well, we will need to bust the lid open. Just be careful not to smash me too." So, Momoko grabbed a heavy sledge hammer as the rest of the members came out. She brought the hammer down and the lid greatly cracked. Some of the light was able to pierce the darkness through the cracks. "I might be able to…" Then, his fist smashed through the cracked area. The girls and guys saw a human hand, the color of a gold tan someone would get on the beach. "I might be able to stick my head out of the hole."
"It's a big hole so your head should be able to fit." Then, the person stuck his head out. It was a jackal head that stuck out. This surprised the elite. "Amasis?"
"I am."
"I thought you were just an illusion."
"Who are you?" Amasis didn't recognize them due to them being in a different outfit.
"Oh, I'm Blossom just in a different outfit."
"Okay." Momoko continued to help Amasis out of the sarcophagus. He was grateful for her assistance.
"Thank you, Blossom."
"You're welcome."
"So, let me get this straight." Kaoru stated. "You and your race exist?"
"Yes. My race, the nubi exist in Dupinawa City."
"Oh. Then, what was that tale you said in the trip. Was that real?" Amasis pulled out the scroll he had with him and showed it to them. It was written what looked like hieroglyphs.
"Yes, it was a real story." he replied. "That was a real tale my mother told me when I was little."
"Why are you here exactly?" Miyako asked.
"I am looking for answers. Is there more to this tale than what is there? Why is it only known as a fictional story when there are details aandevidence of it happening in the past?"
"Hopefully, we can do anything we can help, but where these events taking us?"
"All of us are on a journey for some reason. Whatever it is for you, I hope it is for the better. As for me, I am off on my journey. I wish you luck on your journeys." Amasis began to walk away.
"Amasis, good luck!" Momoko said. Amasis smiled as he left.
Then, Momoko, Miyako, Kaoru, Haruto, Tukumi, and Zhong Lee thought about what the future would have in store. They would hope that the future would be bright for them. Momoko remembered the tale Amasis told them before he left. And the tale went like this:
"In the kingdoms, darkness was the king of all of them; the world was always dark and sorrowful. The people were always lacking hope. The darkness lasted for many generations. One of them left looking for peace of mind and when he returned he spoke of heroes of light. But no one would believe him.
Then one day, the children of the stars came. There were six of them each of them. They were ones kind of heart and can be comparable to angels. Then, hope entered the hearts of the people. They went around from kingdom to kingdom lifting away the darkness from that location. The children of the stars then went to the palace of darkness with many following them. They battled against the king of darkness, and banished him from the land forever.
From that day onward, light would be the monarch. A just ruler leading all the kingdoms to a future filled with hope. The kingdoms then had peace and harmony after generations of experiencing the darkness of cruelty an hatred. They will forever feel the light of faith, hope, and love."
