the story!
Chapter 13: The 2nd Temple
The 4 Ham-Hams continued their way to the path of the 4 Temples, now heading for the 2nd one, though in front of them, was about 50 hamster yards away. As they walked, Bijou was thinking. She was staring to realize her feelings for Hamtaro. She'd found out why she enjoys talking to him, helping him out and also why she smiles when she sees him at the Clubhouse: because she loved him. She looked at Hamtaro, who was concentrating on Hale's path, and definitely knew that she loved him. She then started daydreaming about what it would be like for him to be her boyham and how much she'd enjoy it. In fact, she was daydreaming so much that she didn't notice that the others stopped, causing her to bump into Boss.
"Hey Bijou, you should watch where you're going." Boss told her.
"Sorry, Bosz." Bijou apologized. "I'll be more careful."
The temple was slightly shorter than the first one. It was now purplish- black, 2 Sheiug-like eyes in the middle that didn't glow, and had no symbols, not like the 1st temple. Like he did to the 1st one, Hale put his right hand on the place where the barely-visible door was and closed his eyes to obviously find the code to open it. A few moments later, he was done and backed away a bit and said a different pair of words for the code: " Nygario haoi ploi joso yi galko!" The Sheiug eyes then glowed red and started to slowly vanish. The door also vanished with it at the same speed, so the entrance was now visible, phantom-like to the Ham-Hams.
"Let me guess: this temple's topic is ghosts?" Boss guessed.
"I'm thinking the same thing." Hale answered. "Wonder what the guardian will be like. The symbol looked like a black fog, so it also must be a ghost of some sort."
They then entered the 2nd temple, which was a bit brighter than the last one, and walked through the same maze-like path. But this time, the entrance path was like a haunted house at a Ham-Ham fun park during Ham-O- Ween because strange movements went around them. Orbs passed by, cold spots gave them the chills, an apparition keeps reappearing and the Ham-Hams felt as if they were being watched...and they were, for in the unknowingly fake orbs, special cameras were installed and Sheiug and Spat could watch the Ham-Hams with it. They were somewhere at Ham-Ham World.
"Heh heh they're NOW here?!" Sheiug became shocked. "HAHAHA! Those puny slowpokes are too late already! Even with help, I can defeat them."
"They don't know what surprise is gonna hit 'em when they get here!" Spat chuckled.
"Very true, brother. heh heh heh...Very true..."
Back at Ham-Ham Planet, after 10 chilling minutes, they reached the expected middle room, which was the biggest room in the temple. Another Spat statue was in the middle and, as expected, was holding a piece of Hale's turbo engine on the right hand. Hale just hesitated to get it and looked around.
"Got the same feeling too, Hale?" Hamtaro discovered.
"Yes." Hale told him. "The guardian is here, but he's hiding." All 4 of them then looked in every direction, looking for the next one they must fight. Then they heard a swoosh noise. Hale gasped and turned to where it came from. Nothing.
"Grr...where is he?!" Boss angrily wondered.
Soon a ghastly cackle filled the air.
"Who are you?" Hale demanded.
"If I stay invisible, this match will be too easy." the voice said to the worried Ham-Hams, with Bijou slowly going to Hamtaro for protection. Then a dark hamster appeared in front of them warp-like. Hale was shocked.
"It's...it's..."he stuttered.
"Sheiug?" the dark hamster asked. "No I'm a clone/ghost version of my master. Notice my different colored eyes."
He was right, for instead of red, his eyes were glowing green.
"So is that what Sheiug looks like, only with green eyes?" Hamtaro asked Hale to be sure.
"Yes that would be him exactly. The real Sheiug has red eyes, and they're MUCH more creepier than those. I should've known as soon as I saw this clone."
"So also hiz look tries to zcare uz.!" Bijou figured out. "You're both only evil clownz! I shouldn't be zcared! You're only a copy of a big bully!"
Heh heh brave one, aren't you?" the clone chuckled. "Always accusing of what things are like before they even happen. Well now you'll see only a sample of what my master's power is!"
He then floated up with electricity sparks flowing through him. The Ham- Hams watched, the reflecting light shining in their amazed eyes. The dark clone then opened its mouth and made it grow. As it grew, the teeth inside started to become more sharp-pointed like a ham-pire. When the enormous jaws ceased to grow, the mouth was as large as an average wall poster.
"Something's gonna happen..." Boss said, getting ready with the Ham-Hams for whatever would occur to them. The Sheiug clone then pulled its opened mouth back, obviously about to give out something. That's what happened, amazingly: when he then pushed its mouth forward, an army of Phantom-Hams came out with their large claws out ready to attack.
"OH NO!" Hamtaro became instantly worried. Then something came into the Ham-Hams' (not Hale's, though) minds. They soon knew what to do. All four of them then bursted out of the way by splitting up and running into different directions. Most of the Phantom-Hams then crashed into the area where the Ham-Hams originally were, but only few stopped in time. Because there were only four who didn't crash into the walls, they each chased the Ham-Ham they chose. The Sheiug clone's mouth then grew to normal size and he just decided to watch what would happen to them.
"Here they come!" Hale yelled to the Ham-Hams, still running. Bijou then almost got bit by the one chasing her, causing her to somehow run even faster. All were starting to get exhausted and became worried that they would get defeated by the Phantom-Hams. The Hale got a plan. He had found out how to trick the Phantom-Hams by making them hit the Sheiug clone instead of him. To commence his plan, still running, he stopped where he was and yelled out.
"Hey Phantom-Hams, why chase one when you can try to get me and have more chances of defeating one of us?!" He cried out. This confused both the Sheiug clone and Phantom-Hams and worried the Ham-Hams who listened.
"Hale are you crazy?!" Bijou wondered. "You could dzie!"
"Don't worry, Bijou." Hamtaro told her. "I think he's on to something."
"You better be right, Hamtaro." Boss told him.
The Phantom-Hams surprisingly understood Hale's yell and all glided to him to try and kill him. He then ran away, though for only 5 seconds, toward an area straight across the Sheiug clone. Now he was 10 feet away from the clone. The Phantom-Hams stopped in front of him. They then opened their mouths and brought out their familiar purple acid. Hale barely dodged the attack by doing a somersault, making the attacks go under him (this scene would look better slow-mo) and hit the Sheiug clone.
"AARRGGHH!!" The injured clone yelled. The acid was burning his whole body with smoke sizzling out.
"Get this stuff off me!" he screamed out.
The Phantom-Hams instantly glided to the Sheiug clone to try to get the acid off him.
"You idiots! Don't hit me, you must hit THEM!" he yelled at them as the Phantom-Hams struggled to get the acid off him. It was shame, though, for the acid was as sticky as advanced super glue and couldn't come off of the angry Sheiug clone. Because the Phantom-Hams still tried to get the burning acid off of him, their claws got stuck on the acid and they couldn't get free from burning their selves.
"Awesome idea, Hale!" Hamtaro cheered him on.
"Way to make them suffer!" Boss yelled.
Soon the clone of Sheiug and the Phantom-Hams, who were stuck together, soon started to slowly fade away.
"Any last vords, 'Sheiug'?" Bijou teased the dieing clone. Soon the fading 'Sheiug' said his last words before completely disappearing: "Even with my death occurring, you still won't have enough to defeat my master! You will all paaaaaayy!"
Soon the clone of Sheiug and the Phantom-Hams disappeared like regular ghosts would.
"Glad that's over." Boss replied to the scene.
"..but it's not all over." Hale told him.
"Why is it you who gets the comebacks?" Boss groaned, but Hale just ignored his comment.
"These 2 matches we had are telling us that each time we face a guardian, we need a strategy to defeat one. Maybe in the next one I'll really need your help."
"Zhen ve'll be zere zo help you." Bijou smiled.
"Teamwork it is!" Hamtaro yelled out.
"Very good point, Hamtaro." Hale pointed out. "It may seem like I'm doing all the work but it's very likely that even I will ask for assistance."
"I guess we have been doing nothing good." Hamtaro sadly said. "We were just getting in the way."
"Don't talk like that!" Boss immediately told him "That's very disrespectful! I can't believe a Ham-Ham would say something like that!"
"Well it's true!" Hamtaro replied.
"Uhh...well kinda, but you still shouldn't say that, you got it?!"
"Sorry..."
"Zon't hurt hiz feelings, Boss." Bijou tried to calm Boss. "Or maybe it vill hurt my feelings."
"Sorry Bijou." Boss apologized, blushing a bit. "I'll watch my attitude next time."
Hale then ran to the unharmed statue of Spat and didn't hesitate to grab the piece of his turbo engine. Again he focused on the part and made it disappear to "another place".
"Okay guys, we're halfway done, so let's get this over with." Hale said
