Jamie gulped nervously looking at the skeleton

"Ew...I touched a dead person..." she said kicking her leg a little bit. The others seemed unaffected. Even

Izzy seemed passive. Hsi Wu knelt down and picked up the bag, opening it up

"Hey check it out!" Hsi Wu said pulling out a large tie-dye shirt out. It looked almost new; His other shirt,

having been destroyed when he took his demon form, was long gone. He shook it out and slipped it over

his head."How do I look?" he asked, a devilish grin on his face.

Jamie hated to admit it, but he actually looked pretty good in it...it was a good look for him...

Irony aside.

"I wonder what else is in here..." Drago said to himself as he took the bag and began pulling out the items

inside.

"Drago-"

"Let's see," he said ignoring her, " more clothes, a pair of sandals, two flashlights, a couple of unopened

bags of trail mix, and-"

Drago held up what looked like a bag of dried herbs and a brightly colored object that looked like a cross

between a pipe and a light bulb

"What heck is this thing?" he asked holding both objects up with his hand he wasn't using to light the area.

Jamie turned bright red when she suddenly realized what it was.

"Um...that's a bong... and that other stuff is probably pot..."

Drago cocked an eyebrow and then dropped the bag and the bong on the floor with a somewhat disgusted

look

"Who needs that stuff?" he asked, though it was more statement than question.

Shendu gave Drago a look of something that was a cross between both pride and dark amusement.

Tchang Zu picked up on of the flash lights

"I wonder if these still work..."

Jamie was doubtful, but when he mashed the button, it came on easily.

"Well, that solves our light problem," Bai Tsa said picking up the other one and turning it on as well. Izzy

picked up one of trail mix baggies and opened it up.

"Don't tell me you're gonna eat that stuff," Jamie said.

"It's vacuum packed," Izzy said simply grabbing a small handful and eating it without any hesitance, "This

stuff keeps forever and besides... I'm hungry."

Jamie sighed.

'great not only are we taking stuff from a dead guy, apparently we're eating 40 year old food too...'

Tso Lan and Xiao Fung meanwhile, had examined the skeleton itself.

"Hm...Male. About 34 ears of age."

"Died of blood loss from the coloration of the bones, probably caused by this," Xiao Fung said yanking the

arrow out of the ribcage. The entire skeleton crumpled into dust. Tso Lan immediately picked up the Peace

necklace, apparently liking it.

As for the mood ring, Dai Gui picked it up and gave it Izzy, slipping it, inconspicuously,on her left ring finger,

mutering something in Izzy's ear which made her giggle.

Jamie could only hope Bai Tsa failed to notice this.

"Okay, I think we've done enough grave robbing for today," Jamie said, " Can we just get going, please?"

"The child is correct, the longer we linger here the more likely it is that we might not be able to find the exit

before the sun sets...And I have no desire to be here after sunset," Shendu said.

Drago shoved the other trail mix bags and hippie clothes back into the back pack, tossing it to Hsi Wu.

"Whatever..."

Cobra, Ice and DJ Fist had made a circle in the sand out of sea shells, preparing for their little tournament.

"Yo, got the crabs?" Strikemaster Ice asked

"Got 'em right here, Ice man," Cobra said holding up his shirt, which he'd removed and used as a crab net;

There were about 20 in all.

"Cool. That plus the shorite over here leaves 21. that's seven for each of us."

"I got only one question..." Cobra asked, "What we gonna do with the losers?"

Ice made a fireball in his hand

"Cook 'em"

"Sweet," Cobra said flashing a thumbs up.

DJ Fist nodded.

Drago sniffed the air. Thirty minutes had passed, The air was steadily getting fresher.

"We're getting closer," he said to no one in particular.

"Good," Izzy said, "It's kinda chilly down here..."

"We're underground, what did you expect?" Bai Tsa asked rolling her eyes.

Dai Gui gave her a sour look. He picked Izzy up and set her on his back, carrying her piggy back style. Izzy

squeezed his shoulders affectionatly, "Thank you Dai Dai, that's much better."

Jamie almost laughed at the face Bai Tsa made, running smack into Drago and Shendu, who had stopped.

"Hey, Why'd you-"

Jamie suddenly caught sight of what had made them stop. Her jaw dropped.

"Whoa..."

000000ooooo000000

It was a city.

A huge, underground city.

She'd seen pictures of artist concept s of what ancient Aztec cities might have been like.

This trumped that.

There were buildings everywhere, House's, a few temples, Some sort of large, round building that was nearly

as big as a school. Or so she believed, it was too far away to tell for sure.

Even Izzy was struck dumb at this discovery.

"We found...an ancient.... undergroud...Aztec city..."Jamie said numbly.

Drago turned his head, looking at her.

"Gee, you think?"
