Family Connection Part 3
Henry and Ammon found some disguises, dressed as workers as they walked through the excavation site, looking through until they found what they have been looking for, a hole in a mound that was untouched so far by the Nazis. Having some rope, Ammon helped lower Henry down into where the hole led, as Henry looked down, he saw a scale model of an ancient city.
"Glad they didn't find this yet." Henry said as he noticed the place was undisturbed as he finally landed down on the ground. "Looks like this model is scaled to the place here, which means…"
Henry searched his belt until he pulled out a mirror and using it to reflect the sunlight from the hole, he shined the light until the sunlight's color changed on a certain spot in the model city. Henry smiled as he found where the Ark was buried.
"Jackpot." Henry smiled.
Meanwhile Ammon was waiting above when a group of German soldiers and diggers came to him.
"What are you doing here?" One of the German soldiers demanded.
"I was posted here sir." Ammon answered quickly. "Is there a problem?"
"Not anymore, just get back to work." The German said rudely and left with the others.
Ammon went back to the hole, where just in time Henry was there to get Ammon to help him up. As Ammon lowered the rope, Henry took it and climbed out, greeting his friend with a smile.
"I take it you know where the Ark is." Ammon asked.
"I do, get some loyal diggers, we find it during the night." Henry replied.
As Ammon stayed at the excavation site to find some diggers, Henry made his way back to where his camel was and taking off his disguise, put back on his normal outfit, getting ready the night. And as night came, Henry found Ammon, where the few diggers and Henry led them to where the Ark was buried, which was thankfully mostly out of view by the night guards.
"Henry, if you find the Ark, how do you plan on getting it out of here?" Ammon asked.
"I don't know, but it's better away from the Nazis." Henry answered. "I'll find a way, I always do."
Suddenly Henry heard the diggers hit something hard as he turned around and saw the workers stunned. Henry came to the spot and with his wings he cleared away some more sand, finding that it was a stone door.
"Dig some more." Henry asked politely and the diggers did until they uncovered the whole door.
As the door was uncovered, Henry felt for the handle and found it, opening it and looking in, seeing that he had to be lowered down by rope again.
"I'll go alone, cover for me if any German comes." Henry told Ammon.
"You got it Henry." Ammon replied.
As Henry was lowered, one of the German soldiers on guard, walking about noticed the strange activity and decided to alert his commander. As the soldier was going to his commander's tent, the commander himself was enjoying a nice dinner, if you could call it that, with the Frenchman.
"So, Dr. Thomas, what exactly will the Ark do once we find it?" The German Commander asked the Frenchman.
"Well, it will surely make sure the Reich has an unimaginable power, one that no one would dare stand against, Mr. Schneider." Dr. Thomas answered, while taking a bite of food.
And then a German soldier came in, unannounced.
"Herr Kommandant!" The German soldier saluting.
"Yes, what is it?" The German commander named Schneider asked.
"There's some diggers doing work outside the excavation site." The soldier reported.
"Well, looks like someone has found something we haven't." Schneider smiled as he got up, Dr. Thomas getting up as well as Schneider silently got the German soldiers up and ready to go inspect.
Meanwhile Henry looked around as he came down and searched, using his flashlight, seeing if there was any hint of the Ark. Ammon looked down and called to his friend.
"See anything Henry?" Ammon called out.
"Ammon, quiet!" Henry shouted back in a quiet tone.
And then Henry saw it, what looked like a case containing something, the case had elaborate biblical images and Henry came up to it and shining the light, read the ancient text written on it. He found it.
"Ammon, get down here." Henry softly called to his friend and with the help of the diggers, Ammon came down to his friend. "Help me get this open."
And Henry and Ammon came to each side of the case and on a count of three, they slowly lifted off the top, placing it down gently aside, going back to see what the case contained. And there it was… The Ark.
"Henry, you found it!" Ammon said happily.
"Indeed I have." Henry smiled and went back to call up to the diggers, only something was wrong, very wrong indeed…
"Well, if it isn't the famous Henry Jones." Dr. Thomas chuckled as he, along with Schneider and a bunch of German soldiers were staring down at Henry. "Thank you for finding the Ark for us."
Schneider nodded to a couple of German soldiers and they threw down a rope for Henry and Ammon to climb up on.
"If you want to live Dr. Jones, I would climb up if I were you." Schneider advised.
He had no choice, Henry had to climb up or else the German would just come down and kill him and Ammon.
"Lets go Ammon, we got no choice." Henry told his friend.
As soon as the two were on the ground again, Schneider faced Henry.
"Because you found the Ark for us, you will be given a proper death, but once we're done taking the Ark where we will use it for the glory of the Reich." Schneider informed Henry.
During the night and into the morning the diggers, guarded by the German soldiers, brought up the Ark which was made ready for transport in a convoy. While Henry and Ammon were both tied up, in view of the Ark being made for transport, Henry thought of a plan.
"What are we going to do Henry?" Ammon asked his friend.
"I have an idea." Henry said and nodded to his back, Ammon looking and seeing that Henry had a small hidden knife.
Henry carefully used it to cut his ties, but didn't go and help Ammon, only staying there and pretending he was still tied up. There was a reason for that as a couple of German soldiers arrived to take the two away to be killed. As one of them grabbed onto Henry and pulled him up, Henry used that moment to act as he punched the soldier right into his muzzle and then wrestled his gun away from him, using the gun as a club to knock out the other soldier out cold. As the other soldier recovered, Henry did the same to him.
"Get out of here Ammon!" Henry said to his friend as he gave the gun to him.
"What about you my friend?" Ammon asked.
"I'm going after the Ark, just prepare to smuggle it back to England so it can be transported to America." Henry told his friend.
And as soon as the German convoy carrying the Ark was ready, they started to drive off to their destination, at the same time that Henry came out from a tent on a horse. Henry saw the convoy start to go and actually talking to the horse, got it to ride off to catch up.
The question would be how Henry would win against a whole German convoy, with soldiers armed to the teeth and cars armed with machine guns…
And that's it for now!
Some of you might find it weird that Henry's riding a horse, when this is a world where no humans exist and animals reign, well as I explained in the beginning, all the animals still retain their original skills.
And I'll see you in the next part!
