Chapter 3
Two of the Desert Scarabs, Tomos and Nabile, follow the stranger far into the desert.
Tomos: -wipes away sweat from forehead- Whos stupid idea was this?
Nabile: -slaps him- Yours, you dumbass. Must I pull up Chapter 2 to remind you?
Tomos: No... -guilty wimper-
Nabile: Oh, shut yer trap and keep moving. -kersmacks him on the back of his head-
(They see a city in the distance)
Tomos: Where on earth are we?
Adam: -pops up- Actually, you're on Neopia, not Earth. That's were humans live!
Me: -whacks him on the head with an overripe ummagine and drags him away- Enough out of you!
(Next scene takes place with them in a crumbled, old building)
Nabile: -runs sand though her fingers- This place has been dead for a loooong time.
The duo searched amongst the ruins trying to find clues as to where the mysterious prince and his Uni friend went. But they had little success.
Nabile: -smacks the narrator- Little? You mean no success! Ugh...I'm surrounded by idiots...Anyways! They can't just have disappeared. They must be hiding somewhere.
Nightsteed (from behind wall): Naww...ya think?
Jazan: -forces gag into his mouth- Shush!
Tomos: They're here--but where is here? In all the stories of the desert, I've never heard about a ruined city.
Back in Sakhmet, others are wondering the same thing.
Amira orders her advisors to research into the prince's background and the city he claims to rule--Qasala.
Shoyru: -scribbles something down with a quill, folds it up and passes it to the kacheek-
Kacheek: -opens it up and reads the note- -giggles and sends back a response-
Shoyru: -reads note- -writes response and sends note back again-
Ruki: Hey! We're supposed to be doing research! Not passing notes!
Shoyru and Kacheek: Sorry...
Ruki: Ugh...how stupid. Why do I have a candle if there's sunlight pouring in through those curtain-less windows?
Kacheek: Amira just likes to waste her daddy's wealth on useless crap like that.
Me (whispering from behind curtains): Hmph, maybe she should try waisting it on better makeup...
Other people behind curtain: -giggle-
Blumaroo: -walks by with huge stack of books- Echo...echo..echo...echo... Hey guys, this library echos!
Shoyru: Aw, sweet! -shouts- Qasala...Qasala...Qasala...
Kacheek: -shouts as well- Pizza...pizza...pizza...
(Echo comes from out of nowhere) Pot...pot...pot...Crack...crack...crack...YO MAMA...yo mama...yo mama...
Ruki: Where the heck did that come from?
Swordmaster Talek: -hides behind rack of books-
Me: Psht, anyways...(camera moves over to next scene)
Enarka: -kneels before princess- My lady, we have found something about this Qasala, but there can be no truth to the stranger's claims.
Amira: Really? Do go on. Why have I not heard of such a place?
Enarka: According to this historical redcord, Qasala WAS a thriving city with a well respected royal family. The whole city was obliterated in a terrible sandstorm over 200 years ago. I'll give this imposter some credit. He did his research, but he is no match for our records!
Amira: Ha, some research if he claims to be a ruler of a place destroyed over two centuries ago! What an idiot! But thank you Enarka -shakes shoyru's hand- As always you have proved invaluable.
But Tomos and Nabile the street urchins know nothing of this, as they search the ruins for some sign of the mysterious prince.
Tomos (is now somehow on his ass after he got scared by a little scarabug that came outta nowhere): Let's go back Nabile. This place is spooky!
Nabile: We haven't found so much as a rusty coin. We're not going back without something to show for it. Now get up, you wuss!
Tomos: There's nothing here but dust and rocks. No coins, no prince, nothing! Let's go home while there's still enough light to see the way.
With nothing to show for their trouble, the two friends head back to Sakhmet, unaware that they are being watched.
Nabile: Wait, did he just say we were being watched?
Guy with script: No, now keep moving.
(camera moves over to Jazan and Nightsteed hiding behind wall)
Jazan: See, my friend? They left without trouble.
Nightsteed: Woah...what happened to your robes? And..oh crap...what happened to my face? My beautiful, beautiful face! Unis aren't supposed to look like this! Oh, what am I going to do? WHAT AM I GOING TO DO? ACK, help me!
Jazan: -smacks him- Get ahold of yourself, man! Now, let me get back to my sinister moment there. -turns back to camera with eyes glowing red- But it won't be long before they become my loyal subjects, when the princess is mine and the prophecy has been fufilled. Mwahahaha!
Darth Vader: Hey! Stop trying to pull off a cheap imitation of me!
Jazan: Oh, shut up you!
Darth Vader: -pulls out lightsaber- Well bring it on, bitch!
Jazan: -goes into ninja pose- Ready when you are!
(Mortal Combat theme music plays)
Will Nabile and Tomos ever find out what's going on? Will the prophecy be fufilled? Will Nightsteed ever get back his beautiful face? Will there ever be this much smacking and whacking in the next chapter? And will Jazan and Darth Vader have a fight to the death? Find out soon!
