Divine inspiration

Disclaimer: I own Sidney, the triplets and Pickles. That's about it.
And now, the people who have reviewed this fic. *Plays some award ceremony music*
Eileen - Indeed you are right my friend!
Bradleigh - "I put on womens clothing and hang around in bars!", yes what a fantastic song.
Red witch - Yup Todd's all better now. Glad i'm no the only one that had trouble with FF.net.
You win praise and adoration!
Chapter 13 - Confrontation.
The group entered the temple. It was almost pitch black inside.
"Todd?", started Lance, "you have night vision, what do you see?".
"Not much", said Todd, his eyes shining in the poor light, "alot'a walls wit' hyloglyphs on 'em. Thats about it".
"It's this way", said Bastet, pushing her way to the front of the group, "i know my way around my own temple".
The gang followed her, hoping that they were going in the right direction. Eventually, a small shaft of light shone into the passageway.
"Finally", said Kitty with a sigh of relief, "we get some light on the situation".
The group followed the lgiht until it led them into a large chamber, filled with burning torches. Dozens of cat statues, large and small, were all around the room. In the middle of all this stood the triplets, Imitate holding the sistrum. They looked up as the group entered.
"See, i told you they'd get to us", said Dopleganger waving her arm at the group.
"What are we gonna do Imitate?", asked Mimic nervously.
Imitate stared at the group and smirked.
"They aern't in full rank", he said, "they shoulde be easy to beat. Mimic, deal with them, Dop and i willl recite the incantaion".
"If they read that", said Bastet, "the world will be in BIG trouble".
"Tell that to him", said Pietro, pointing at Mimic, who had transformed himself into a T-rex.
Mimic raoared and ran towards the group. He noticed Kitty and promtly borught his huge foot down on her. He gave a surprised squeak as she just walked through his leg.
"Sorry, you, like, have to do better than that", she said with a giggle.
Mimic snarled and truned at on the rest of the group. While this was happening, Imitate and Dopleganger were holding up the systrum. They were repating something in Arabic. The torches around the room burnt suddenly brighter.
"Too late, were screwed", said Bastet, throwing her hands in the air.
A bright light sone around the pair, their eyes started to glow red. Mimic looked over to them and changed back to his normal form.
"Come on guys, lay some of that imortality on me", he said.
Imitate flung his arm towards his brother, sending out a beam of red light. Mimic steped back for a second, then his eyes too glew a strange red colour. Immitate turned to the group and smirked.
"I really wish we had time to chat", he said, "but we have a world to take over and a ceratin someone to let loose. Tatty bye".
He clicked his fingers and the three disapeared.
"How did he....", started Evan.
"They are omnipient now", said Bastet, they can do whatever they wish, just be thinking about it.
"Wait....", said Logan, "they said they were gonna free a certain 'someone'. You don't think...".
"Pickles", said Sabertooth with a snarl.
"Well, lets get after them", said Pietro, starting for the door.
Suddenly a rumble could be heard and the ground stared to shake violently.
"That is NOT funny Lance", said Bastet, "were in a really old temple you idiot, the whole thing could collapse on us".
"It isn't me!", said Lance defensively.
"Well if it isn't you", said Logan, "then what's making the ground sh....".
He didn't get to finnish his senance. Suddenly a sea of sand came rushing into the temple, covering everything, including the teenagers. Everyone struggled against the sand, trying to stay upright.
"Okay...now we really ARE screwed", said Bastet.
The sand rose the group higher and higher to the roof.
"Kitty Kurt, you can get outta here. Go", said Logan.
"But..", started Kurt.
"GO!", said Loagn again.
*BAMF*
Kurt disapeared in a claud of brimstone while Kitty phased through the wall.
"Well, this is it", said Lance with a sigh, the blinked, "unless.....".
He concentrated. The temple began to rumble even more.
"Are you nuts?", said Todd, "you'll drop the tepmle on us".
Lance ignored Todd's protects and put all of his effort into his power. He jerked his hand to the side and one of the temple wall's collapsed, spilling out the sand, and the mutants, outside.
"Okay....that was impressive", said Logan, then looked at the temple, 2okay, now would be a good time to run".
The temple was now shaking violently, having a truckload of sand rush in, then have an earthquake underneath it had made it unstable. Loosing a supporting wall was the ;ast straw. It swayed dangerously. The group scrambled out of the way as it fell to the ground. Once the dust had cleared Bastet stared at the pile of rubble that was once her centre of worship.
"My temple!", she said, "okay, now i'm mad".
"I think we'd better get back to America", said Sabertooth, "we gotta stop Pickles. If he gets imrtality...do i have ta finnish that sentance?".
"He's right", said Bastet, "but first i'm putting on my cerimonial hunting outfit".
She walked off into the rubble for a minute, fishing around for something. She gave a laugh of delight and picked up a box.
"Hey it wasn't destroyed", she said happily, "i wont be long".
She ran into the Blackbird with the box.
"What the heck?", said Kitty, walking up to the group.
"I think she's lost it", said Evan with a nod.
A few seconds later, Bastet emerged. She was wearing a lion-cloth and a VERY tattered piece of clothing for, for the lack of a better word, a top. All the bot's jaws dropped. A grin spread across Pietro's face.
"Hey do you think we could convince Sidney to get one of them. She looks pretty darn ho....", he stopped in his tracks, noticing the death-glare he was getting from Todd, "errr....never mind".
"Right", said Bastet with a nod, "all i have to do is touch my sistrum and i get all my power back. Of course, those three ARE all powerfull now and i'm...welll...i'm a mortal.. I think we might have a shot, but we'll need help".
"We can stop off at the mansion on the way to Stokes', pick up whoever we can", said Logan, getting into the Blackbird, "come on, we gotta move".
The group piled into the jet once again. After a few hours, they landed in the mansion grounds. Xavier wheeled out.
"I have contected Jean and Scott, they won't be able to make it in time", he said, "but Rogue's here, as is Storm".
"And Tally", Kurt reminded him.
"Errr...no, Tally isn't there", said Xavier, he really didn't want to go into the subject right now.
"What do you mean?", asked Evan.
"We'll tell ya'll later", said Rogue, running out with Storm close behind, "we gotta get ta Stokes' now!".
Yes, i know it was a short chapter, but, hey, i'm limted to small bouts of inspiration at the moment. Remember to review, until next time chucks!
