Chapter Seventeen: More traps
"Kame do you know how far is Black from here?"
"I'm not sure, but I guess we're in the middle of the temple"
Keitaro and Tama looked at each other and then they screamed.
"Half the temple!"
Kame just nodded. Keitaro sighed and then said.
"Well, I guess we'll have to keep going then"
They kept walking through the corridor looking for traps. After a while they get to a big iron door.
"Let's try to open it"
"I don't know Keitaro, it looks heavy"
"We won't know until we try"
Keitaro and Tama pushed the door but it didn't move. They kept trying to no avail.
I better help them-
Kame waved his flipper and the door open. Keitaro and Tama fell to the other side. Tama yelled at Kame.
"You could at least tell us"
Kame rubbed his forehead.
"I'm sorry"
Keitaro just sighed and then looked around the room. It was a circular yellow room with a water fountain in the middle. In the other side of the room there was a door.
"There isn't anything unusual about this room"
"Good, I didn't want to fall into another trap"
"I'm not sure I remember something about this room"
"Come on Kame. This room doesn't look dangerous, let's move to the next one"
"Ok Keitaro if you say so"
Keitaro was walking to the door when something in the water caught his attention. He suddenly stopped and walked to the fountain. Tama looked at him surprised
"Keitaro the door is over there"
"I know Tama; I just want to check something"
"Keitaro no! I remembered what's wrong around this room"
But it was too late Keitaro was standing next to the fountain. He looked at his reflection it was smiling like him, and then all of a sudden the reflection winked at Keitaro. He jumped of surprise. They we're shocked when the reflection of Keitaro rose from the fountain.
"Y…yo…you, what are you?"
The reflection walked towards Keitaro and smiled.
"I'm you. Or better said I'm all you can't be"
"What?"
"I looked like you but my personality is the opposite of you"
"What do you want?"
The reflection laughed.
"All you have"
"You are crazy"
"No, you're. You want to undo the best thing that has ever happened to you"
Keitaro smiled and the answered.
"It may be the best thing that has ever happened to me but I didn't do anything to get it. Can't you see it's wrong?"
"That doesn't matter to me"
Keitaro looked at Kame and asked.
"Can't you do anything about him?"
"I'm sorry he was made from a wish I can't undo him"
"Then how I stop him"
The reflection walked towards Keitaro.
"You don't, I will stop you"
Tama yelled at Kame
"Use your fireballs"
Kame shot some fireballs at the clone of Keitaro. The fireballs make several holes on the clone but after they pierced him, the clone got back to normal. Keitaro was surprised
"What!"
The clone smiled.
"Surprised, I'm made of water remember"
Keitaro smiled.
"Tanks for remembering us"
The clone was surprised.
"Kame freeze him"
Kame waved his flipper and froze the clone.
"That was quick thinking Keitaro"
Keitaro looked at the frozen clone and then asked Kame.
"Do you think it will stay like that?"
Kame waved his flipper again and moved the clone to the top of the fountain. Then he froze the entire fountain.
"At least he'll make a nice ornament"
They walked to the next room. Once they stepped trough the door Kame close the door behind them.
The new room was very big it was filled with stone statues; in the middle of the room was a bigger statue of an armored man holding something that looked liked a crystal ball filled with a blue liquid.
"I remember this room"
"What do you remember?"
"Those statues are or better said were men"
Keitaro looked at Kame and asked nervously.
"What happened to them?"
"A monster turned them to stone"
Tama began to shiver.
"Do…do you think the monster is still here?"
Kame just nodded.
"But don't worry I also remember that you can kill the monster with dandelion powder"
Keitaro asked him.
"Where are we going to get dandelion powder?"
"Here"
Kame answered making some powder.
"I forgot you could do that"
"Well we just need to find the monster and throw some of the powder on him"
"Where do you think it is?"
"Maybe it just left"
"I don't think so"
"But I don't see him around, why don't we just leave this room"
Keitaro thought of it for a second and then answer.
"Ok, Tama. Let's go"
When they were close to the statue of the armored man, its eyes began to glow red the crystal ball fell from his hand breaking and the blue liquid began to pour. Then the liquid began to climb the statue turning the stone into grayish flesh.
"I…I…think we found the monster"
Kame flew in front of them.
"Stay behind me and don't look at the monster"
The liquid finish covering the statue and the monster began to roar. Kame threw the dandelion powder at the monster.
"I hope it works"
"I hope so too, Tama"
The monster began to sneeze the blue liquid.
"It's working; we just have to wait until he sneezes all the liquid"
Tama and Keitaro yelled.
"What!"
"It won't take long…This will help"
Kame appeared a brick wall around them to protect them from the monster. After a while the sneezing stopped, Kame went out to look if the monster was defeated.
"It's ok, the monster is gone now"
Keitaro and Tama were relieved.
"That's great"
"Let's go to the next room"
Keitaro looked around and asked Kame.
"What about all those people?"
Kame answered troubled.
"I'm sorry Keitaro there isn't anything I can do about it"
Tama patted Kame on the shell. Kame just nodded.
"It's ok"
They walked to the next room. It was another corridor.
"Do you remember anything about this corridor?"
"If I remember it correctly there aren't any traps in here"
"That's great"
Keitaro's stomach growled. Keitaro scratched his forehead and smiled.
"Kame, could you make something to eat, please"
Kame waved his flipper and appeared a small feast.
"Thank you, Kame. I was hungry"
"I guess we all knew that"
They ate in silence. When they finished they started talking again.
"Keitaro can we take a nap now? I'm very tired"
"I don't know Tama. What do you think Kame?"
"As I said before this place is safe and to be fair I'm tired too"
"Ok, guys we'll rest here for a while"
Keitaro lay in the floor and began to think.
Just a couple of rooms more and I'll finally make it…I can't wait…-
With that in mind Keitaro fell asleep.
So what do you think? Please leave a review.
