Love Lasts Forever
Chapter 14: The Temple And The Scepter
Previously on Love Lasts Forever: Hamtaro and the gang are still going strong, and they're SO close to the temple. Meanwhile, Glacier is sending two of his best warriors( also brothers) to guard the three fourth mile line! Meanwhile, Hamtaro and the gang become targets for a hungry golden eagle! This bird had nothing to do with the enemy, but it wanted one of the gang for lunch! Hamtaro gets nabbed, but he quickly cuts the eagle's leg and gets let go! Now, they have to confront the guards and get the weapon they need to heal their friend, Lapis! But- there's something else in the way...
The guards had their names engraved on their armor. The one with gold armor had black fur and a white spot around his left eye. His name was Yang. The one with silver armor had white fur with a black spot around his right eye. His name was Yin. They stood side by side at the front of the sign. Yang stepped foward and said, "Are you the group of travelers we have heard about?" Hamtaro nodded, even though he had no idea who this guy was talking about. Yin frowned and said, "We can't let you pass." The gang sighed and looked at each other. "What are we going to do now?" Bijou said sadly. Hamtaro looked at them and said, "We have right from the Prince to pass. We are on a quest." The guards looked at each other, and then they drew their weapons. "Well, if you work for Bo, then we'll have to kill you!"
Hamtaro told everyone to get back. This wasn't going to be easy since they had shadow weapons. Hamtaro fought as much as he could. Spat helped, but the two guards were strong. Yin pinned Spat and Hamtaro down by the shoulders, and Yang came slowly at them with his sword. Hamtaro could feel his bag of powder under his back. Then, Hamtaro realized something.
"Boss!" he shouted. "What were you thinking about when you blew the powder at the dragon?!" Boss replied, "Water! Why?" Then, Hamtaro smirked, pulled a little bit of powder out of the bag, and blew it at them, thinking of the eagle. Before they knew it, Yin and Yang were in a fuzzy bowl-shaped thing. It was huge. Then, they realized what they were in. They were in a bird's nest! And, there behind them, was the hungry golden eagle. That was the last thing they ever saw.
About fifteen minutes later, the group could see the temple. It was made of a glowing gold, and it was sort of like an Egyptian palace in a sort of way. There were two angelic statues on either side of the square open door, and on the inside was a small gold stand, standing at the top of a staircase! Hamtaro told spat to stay at the bottom of the stairs, just in case. Boss stayed with him, and the two girls sat in a corner, watching Hamtaro. The staircase Hamtaro had to go up to reach the weapon was a long one! It took a pretty long time to get up there!
Finally, he reached the top of the staircase. He saw a small pawprint mark on the center of the stand. He was confused. Hamtaro bent down and put his hand on the print. "I wonder what this-is?!" The top of the stand melted away into a cool, gold water, and Hamtaro reached in. What he drew out of it was beautiful. A scepter. At the end, there was a cresent moon with a gem on each point. One was silver, and one was gold. Then, Hamtaro thought, "The Scepter of Heaven's Light!!" The trip downstairs wasn't very long. Hamtaro raced down the stairs with the Scepter in his mouth. "Going somewhere?" Hamtaro stopped to a halt at the end of the stairs. It was Glacier.
Next time on Love Lasts Forever: Hamtaro knows that he can bring good back to Glacier with the Scepter of Heaven's Light. Until he finds out that the wielder of the Staff of Darkness, who is Glacier, cannot be healed at all. So, Hamtaro has one choice. He must destroy Glacier and get the weapon to his sick friend. Either this, or the whole world falls in peril.
