Chapter 18: The Song of the Ancients pt 1
If I fall to the darkness
Pray the light reach my heart
And it guide my way home
"Hey Grandma, what kind of song is that?" Noah look at the four year old Randy, who is petting a baby clouded leopard. She smiled before looking at the stars.
"That is the song of the ancients." Randy awed as the cub licks her paw.
"A song from the ancients?" He asks. Noah nods her head before petting the cub.
"Its a thousand years old but I still sing it to keep me on the right path." She stops petting the cat and smiled "why? Do you like it?" Randy nod.
"Yeah and I think Brie likes it as well." Brie meows causing them to laugh. Noah smiled before looking at the stars.
"Randy?"
"Yeah?"
"No matter what happens… if you ever feel like your world is turning dark or that you're walking into the path of no return, and that you're losing faith." She turns to her grandson, looking at him as her eyes glow silvery blue "remember our song and it will guide you to your destiny."
"Randy, you can open your eyes now." Randy groans as he slowly open his eyes. The vision was a little blurry before it became clear "there we go." He looks up to see Aurora smiling at him "had a good nap?"
"Yeah I did." He sits up on the chair and stretches "I also had another memory of my grandmother."
"That's fascinating Randy." Meera nods in agreement. He chuckled before picking up his shirt.
"So is there a way that can get rid of the seal? You know like destroy it?" He asks putting on his shirt. You see, Randy was brought to Aurora's throne room to use some spell to weaken the seal inside of him. The results were kind of messy but at least the seal had weakened just a bit.
Aurora hums, looking through the books. Once she found what she needs, she pulls it out and opening it "there is a way." He raises an eyebrow.
"Really?" She nods her head, going through the pages before stopping at one specific page. Aurora began to walk up to him with Meera following her, holding the book in her hands.
"Yep and it's in this book." She sat down and put it on her lap, showing him the picture. On the page is an old temple surrounded by trees, and some rocks lying on the ground. He tilts his head as Aurora began to speak "this is an ancient temple that belongs to the Ancients. It's billion years old, existing for a very long time." She turns her head to him "this very temple was used for holding their treasures and secrets, all in one place."
Randy stares at the image before visions appear as his eyes glow silvery blue. It was showing him the inside of the temple with different halls, statues of the ancients and ancient writings etched onto the walls. Soon his eyes went back to normal before he spoke "will it help me with this seal?"
"Yes. You just go in there, find the room with statues and sing." He raises an eyebrow. Aurora giggles "yes, you heard me right, little one. Sing the song from your people, and it will break the seal."
"Okay." He then frowns "but where it at?"
"Deep in the Amazon Jungle." Both of them turns their head to Meera, who is smiling "you'll find it on Brazil, and don't worry, Mistress will take you there."
"But only if you want to go, Randy." He looks at Aurora, who is closing the book "it's your decision if you want to go through with it." She got up and walks to the shelf as she put the book away before turning around to face him "so what do you say, little one?" Randy look down on his lap, balling up his fists. This is all happening too fast, too fast for him to process. To find out that you're a Lualon, have powers that was sealed inside of you and to top it all off, you were offered a chance to an ancient temple, deep in the rainforest. He just wasn't prepared for this… he wasn't prepared to take on this journey, but he will do it for his sake, and because he doesn't like being hold down for too long.
Randy inhaled before exhaling, closing his eyes and lifting up his head "I'll do it." He open his eyes and look at his new friends "I'll go to Amazon and break this spell even though it might be risky."
"You sure?"
"Yeah I'm sure and besides." He grins "I don't like being restrain for too long." Aurora blink her eyes in shock, staring at him before laughing out loud. She clutch onto her sides, laughing while he and Meera stare at her in confusion.
"Mistress? Are you okay." She asks. Aurora stood up straight, calming herself down before a big smile appears on her face.
"You." She points at Randy "are definitely Noah's grandson. She was right about you being the most free spirit child." Randy blinks before chuckling, scratching his cheek.
"Yeah." He look at his ring and smile fondly "I guess I am."
"Hey Jinn." Jinn looks up from his food and stare at Howard, who had a frown on his face "where's Cunningham?"
"Don't know." Howard's frown deepens.
"That's what your brothers said." Jinn shrug one shoulder, taking a bite from his gravy fries.
"Maybe because they don't know either."
"Or maybe because you're hiding something." Jinn glance at him.
"What makes you said that?" Howard crosses his arms, frowning in slight suspicion.
"Because I know."
"Really? By the way, are you going to the Lasertorium tomorrow? I heard there's going to be a competition." Howard stands up and slam his hands on the table. He glared as Jinn stare with a deadpan look.
"Stop changing the subject."
"I'm not changing the subject; I'm just asking a simple question."
"Well, I'm not going." Jinn raises an eyebrow.
"Oh? And why not?" Howard sat back down, still frowning.
"Because I don't go anywhere without my bro." He chuckled.
"You seem to go on rides without Randy."
"That's because he was dealing with some ninja stuff, but this… this is different." He said. Jinn took another bite from his fries, ignoring the heated stare from Howard. If there one thing he'll admit is that he adore Howard's affection for his best friend. Sure he can be rude and troublesome but he's loyal to his friends, and that's what he like about him.
'And it's kinda cute when he's mad.' He thought, eating his fries "so you think that my brothers and I are hiding something from you?"
"I don't think; I know you're hiding something and you better tell me right now." Howard answered as Jinn stands up. He then lean in making him stare in confusion until their face are close to each other "what are you do-" Howard's sentence was cut short when Jinn licks his lips before sitting back down.
"You're so cute when you're angry." He said, taking another bite from his fries as Howard blush. He mumble under his breath as he began to eat his fries while Jinn snickered "definitely cute."
"Shut up, Jinn."
In the Amazon Jungle, birds are flying around in the trees, feeling the wind in their feathers. As they fly, a little squirrel is on the ground, eating nuts while unbeknownst of him, a huge predator is stalking on their prey.
It crept closer and closer without being heard, trying not to alert their prey. The squirrel still doesn't know that he's being hunted as he continued eating his food before hearing a hissing sound. The squirrel stops and slowly turns around to see a female clouded leopard, leering at him with hunger in her eyes before she pounce, catching her prey in her paws.
Her prey tried to break free but couldn't cause of her strong grip. She licks her muzzle, hungrily before opening her mouth wide. The squirrel shake in fear, still trying to break free and right when he about to taste freedom, the clouded leopard clamp down her jaws on her prey's neck, biting down on the jugular and killing her prey instantly. After making sure it was dead, she picks up the squirrel and walks away and deep into the jungle to enjoy her meal.
"Randy, can we talk?" Randy turns around and looks at Nomicon.
"Sure. What do you want to talk about?"
"I want to talk about that woman." Randy sighs.
"Her name is Aurora."
"And she's bad news."
"You're just saying that because you don't trust her." Nomi roll his eyes before walking to his pupil.
"Randy, listen and listen very closely, she is not to be trusted. She could be working for that priest, and planning to take you to him."
"She'll never do that." The 800 year old book raises an eyebrow.
"And how do you know that?"
"Because I trust her and I can tell just by looking into her eyes." Randy said. Nomi's eyes widen in disbelief "and besides Nomi, loosen up a bit." He grins before hearing a voice.
"Little one, time to go."
"Coming." Randy yells before smiling "see you later Nomicon." He gave a two finger salute as his soul was suck back into his body.
Meanwhile, Aurora is watching TV before Randy woke up "welcome back little one." She said as Randy stands up "so ready to go?" She asks while turning off the television.
"Yeah I'm ready." He said. Aurora smiles as they walk out of the room. As they walk in the hall, Meera had slither out of the library "Hi Meera."
"Hi Randy." She slither up to him and nuzzle his cheek. He laughs as Aurora smiled.
"Meera, watch this place while I'm gone. I'll be back in about eight minutes." Meera nods as she watch them leave the palace.
"Be safe."
"We will." Aurora wave at her pet before they left the palace. Once they're outside, she turns to him and grins "so ready to head to the Amazon Jungle?"
"You know I am." She giggles before grabbing his hand.
"Then let's go." She snaps her fingers before they disappeared into thin air.
Nukpana stares in boredom, watching his master talking to someone in the crystal ball. He don't understand why he's working for that low-life skank. And what's with her attitude? Did she have her period or something?
He silently growls when he heard the bitch yelled at his master. Disrespectful just plain rude. She dare yell at him! Oh wait till they meet again, he'll give her the piece of his mind. After what felt hours but only three minutes, Simone close off the connection. He sighs in exhaustion, walking to his chair and sitting down "what she said?" He stole a glance at his snake before closing his eyes.
"She wants us to find him. But I told her, I don't know where he is."
"And what happen after that?"
"She throws a fit and demand me to find him before cutting off the connection." He chuckled when Nukpana hiss "something irking you, my friend?"
"Yeah that bitch. Master, I don't understand why you're working for that pathetic being."
"Because I'm doing it for her." Everything was silent in the room. Nothing but the sound of their breathing. Soon there were sound of movement before going silent again. Feeling a presence, Simone opens his eyes to see Nukpana staring at him with his green eyes. But this time, his scaly friend had changed his form.
Nukpana had become a human. He had brown hair that reach his shoulders, fair skin and pointed ears. He's wearing a black poncho, black pants, gray combat boots and ruby collar around his neck. This is the reason why he's different from all the ordinary snakes, and it's because he can change into a human. To see him like this kind of surprise him for he rarely change into this form.
"I see you're in your human form." Nukpana nod "mind telling me why?"
"I did it for specific reasons." Simone raises an eyebrow.
"And what reason is that?" The snake/human blinks his eyes slowly, staring at his master with a deadpan look before walking away "Nukpana?"
"I can't stand her or her attitude." He said, turning around to face him "she always complain and throw a fit every time when nothing goes her way. She's too bossy, has a uncontrollable anger, she thinks that she's the queen and everyone should obey her, and have I mention that she whine too much." Nukpana groan "she is a grown adult and she whines like a baby. When your sister whines, it's adorable but when she whines, it's ugly."
"Nukpana, you don't mean that." Simone said, trying hard not to laugh.
"Oh I do mean it. She's pretty but she isn't pretty like my mate. I swear Master, one of these days, that bitch is going to cry back to her momma." Simone chuckled.
"If she has a mom."
"Well I guess she doesn't, and I think her mother must've mistaken her as a gorilla." Simone burst out laughing as Nukpana smiled. He's glad that his master is acting normal for once, and besides it's good for him to be happy.
Somewhere on Brazil, deep in the Amazon Jungle, two people are seen walking through the trees. One is wearing a deep red robe while the other is in a ninja garb. As they continued to walk safely through the jungle, the ninja begins to whine "how much farther are we?"
"Randy, calm down."
"But Aurora, we been out here for seven minutes. Do you even know where the temple is?" Aurora smiled.
"Yes I do." She then looked around their surrounding "in fact, this is my stop." She stops walking making Randy stop next to her "well, little one, the temple is down this path so good luck."
"Wait you're leaving me?" She nods her head before walking in the other direction. He blinks in disbelief "but why?"
"Because someone else will take you." She giggled "don't worry, no harm will come to you, and besides." She looked over her shoulder and smirk "call it a family reunion." He raises an eyebrow.
"What?"
"You'll see." She then wave him goodbye as she walks away "bye Randy. Have fun on your journey."
"Wait Aurora." Before he even took a step towards her, she suddenly disappeared into thin air, leaving no trace that she was here. He stares at the spot where she disappeared before frowning in annoyance "thanks a lot, Aurora." He sighed, closing his eyes before opening them again "okay Randy, you can do this… just follow the path and you'll get there." He took a deep breath and release it "let's do this." He began to walk through the jungle as he follows the path to the temple.
Unbeknownst of him, the same clouded leopard is watching his every move. She had a confused look on her face as she stares at the intruder. Why does he look familiar? Why does he smell like her old master? So many question circled around her head before shaking them away. Whatever, she'll find out once she captures him, and until then she mustn't lose sight of him. The clouded leopard began to follow the intruder, silently as they walk towards the temple.
"Fowler, do you know where Cunningham is?" Theresa raises an eyebrow.
"Why don't you ask Azazel? Wasn't he with him when the theatre was attacked?"
"I did ask him but he said "I don't know" and it made me mad because he was with him." Howard took a deep breath, calming down before releasing it "I swear they're hiding something and I'm gonna get to the bottom of it." Theresa rolls her eyes as they walked down the street.
"I don't know Howard. Maybe they really don't know or they don't want to worry us."
"I called bullshit."
"Hey." Theresa frowns, narrowing her eyebrows "it could be true, hell, you never know." Howard's frown deepened a little.
"Yeah tell that to the judge." She sighs as they walked past the arcade shop "seriously though, if they're lying about Cunningham's whereabouts then I'm so going to beat their asses." When they got far away from the shop, three boys walked out before sighing in relief.
"Holy shit, I think I'm losing my edge here." Jinn said as Malphas push up his glasses.
"It only been one day and already Howard is getting suspicious." Azazel said.
"A tiny suspicious." Both boys looked at their older brother.
"What?"
Malphas sighs, rolling his eyes "I mean, even though he's getting suspicious of us, it doesn't mean he's onto us. He's not even following us or giving us weird glances or snooping into our stuff. The worst he can do is start playing twenty questions." Both boys groan making him chuckle at their antics.
"Dude, don't say that."
"It's true."
"Okay that's enough." Azazel said, stopping them "we still need to find Randy before anyone finds out he's missing." His brothers nod before walking in the other direction.
Meanwhile Aurora is at the restaurant, ordering her food "can I have a hamburger, some fries and onion rings. Also I would like to have a large soda please. Thanks sweetie." She smiled as the waitress walks away. She stretches a bit as the same boys walked inside.
"Man I'm starving." She raises an eyebrow, wondering why they sound familiar.
"Me too, let's sit down and eat some burgers." Aurora slightly turns her head to see Azazel, Jinn and Malphas walking to the empty booth behind her before looking away. Now she remembers, it the demon kings.
'Oh god, you sure pick the wrong day to pig out huh?' She thought as they came closer.
Once they were seated, Jinn groan "but seriously though, do you think this lady can just take someone? There's got to be a reason why she took him."
"Do you think she's working for Simone?" From the sound of that name, Aurora leans back and listened into their conversation.
"No way, dude. That woman took him for herself and only for herself. Besides whoever she is, she can be slick." She bit her lips, holding back her laughter.
"Yeah you're right." Jinn stops talking and look at the waitress "oh three burgers, three large fries and large sodas. Thank you, gorgeous." The boys wave as the waitress walks away while blushing.
"Flirt."
"Fuck you, Malphas." Malphas chuckled.
"Sorry, I'm not into incest." Azazel laughs as Jinn flip him off "love you too, bro."
"Dude, that's messed up." His older brother shrugs his shoulders.
"Whatever."
"Man you so lucky we're in here or I'll slap you." He looked at his younger brother and smirk.
"You can try but I'll just stop you."
"Whatever. I don't care if you had quick reflexes."
"Grumpy pants."
"Four eyes."
"Can we please stop fighting?" Jinn points at Malphas.
"He started it."
"And I'm ending it." Azazel said as Jinn pouts while Malphas snickered. He rolled his eyes, putting his arm behind him before pulling it back "oh sorry ma'am." Meanwhile Aurora, who was lost in thought, felt a bump on her head before turning around to Azazel. It only took two seconds before realization hits her like a ton of bricks.
She smiled and wave like it was no big deal. He sighs in relief "oh good. For a second there, I thought you were going to yell at me." She shook her head "that's good." She giggles before hearing another voice.
"Say ma'am?" She looked at Jinn "do you talk?" She nodded "then why you ain't talking?" Aurora looks away, feeling uncomfortable all of the sudden. Don't get her wrong, she'll love to talk to them but she is afraid that if she talked then Azazel will recognize her just from her voice. She can feel Jinn's stare and it makes her even more uncomfortable.
'Please stop staring at me.' Sensing that she's feeling uncomfortable, Malphas smack him upside the head.
"Ow… what was that for?" Jinn ask, rubbing his head.
"You're making her uncomfortable." Malphas answered. Jinn's eyes widen before looking at Aurora, who's trying so hard not to look at him.
"Oh my god. I'm so sorry ma'am." Aurora looks back at him "look I was just curious, wondering why you're not talking and I guess I got carry away." He chuckled, nervously "please forgive me." She giggled "so I take that I'm forgiven." She nodded. Jinn sigh in relief "thank you. I don't want a pretty woman like you feeling uncomfortable."
"Jinn, stop flirting." Aurora laughs, turning back around right when the food came. The waitress puts her food down and walks away.
"What? She is pretty."
"Jinn, seriously please stop." She covered her mouth as another waitress bring them their food and walks away after they thanked her "why you flirting with her?"
"Because she's gorgeous."
"Oh lord." Aurora took a sip from her soda. Malphas shook his head while Azazel took a bite of his burger.
"Dude, you don't know how old she is." His younger brother smirks. He bit into his fries, looking at Malphas who's eating his fries.
"She might be fifteen years old."
"Actually I'm eight hundred and six years old, but in human years sweetie, I'm nineteen years old but you were close." The demon kings slowly turn their head to her. Aurora eats her onion rings, fully aware that she's being stared at. Yeah okay, she talked but hey she figured that maybe she can play with them for a bit.
"What?"
"By the way, I simply love your disguises. The effort you did to make it more human and to hide your power, fascinating." She bit into her burger before swallowing "it was so well thought of, I'm almost didn't recognize you. Good job if I don't say so myself."
"Who the hell are you?" Azazel asks as she sips on her soda. It was silent between them for none said a word or even speak, and it was still quiet as they wait for her response. Azazel have the urge to yell but right when he's about to do it, Aurora spoke thus breaking the silence.
"You know, darling. If I tell you who I really am then you'll just attack me like a madman, and I don't think little one will like that his friend is hurt. Besides, telling some stranger their secret identity can spell doom don't you think?" And with a knowing smirk on her face, she turns around and stare at them "your highness." It was at this moment, everything came crashing down. The demon king's eyes began to change color; with his whole eyes being blue and ice blue slit pupils "ooh that's new."
"Who are you." He demanded. Aurora leans into his face as her whole eyes turn red. She grins from ear to ear, watching how his brothers turn defensive before speaking.
"I'm a type of girl you don't want to fuck with." She leans back, eyes going back to normal "and if I was you, I wouldn't think twice of using my powers in public. Don't want to start a riot now do we?" She turns around and went back to eating. As she ate, Azazel glared at her as his eyes went back to normal before they went back to eating their food 'it seems like I struck a nerve. Oh well, it means I get to play with him some more; especially with his brothers.' Aurora smirks, eating her onion rings 'this is going to be fun.'
Randy groans, sitting on the rock "this is ridiculous. How in the world did I get lost in a jungle?" Yes people, you have heard him right. Randy Cunningham aka Norrisville Ninja is lost in the middle of the Amazon Jungle. How he got lost you ask? Easy, sidetrack. While he was walking, a macaw flew over his head catching his attention before he follow it. As he follows the bird, he began to see more animals in the jungle, and he was so intrigued that by the time he's finish, well, you get the gist of it.
Randy sighs as he stands up and stretches "okay I just need to retrace my steps and I'll be back where I started." He nodded before walking. Suddenly, a clouded leopard drops down from the tree, watching him from afar. She tilts her head curiously as he looks around the jungle "where do I go." She blinks her eyes. This intruder is very interesting and very familiar like she knows him for her entire life. She shook her head before following him when he starts moving again. She'll get her answers but right now is to follow him through the jungle.
For couple of minutes, Randy had walked blindlessly. He had gone at different directions, different paths and different angle but no matter how many times he tries, he got himself even more lost. His left eye twitch in anger as he growl under his breath "you got to be kidding me. I have walked for ten minutes… ten fucking minutes." His eyes began to glow silvery blue "THIS IS BULLSHIT." He screams, scaring the birds. As he screams in anger, the leopard is crouching in the tall grass, watching his every move.
After letting out his anger, Randy took a deep breath and releases it thus calming down "calm down Randy just calm down. Everything will be okay." Suddenly, a sound of a twig breaking had alerted his attention. He turns his head and looked around, trying to find the source of the sound "hello? Is anyone there?" He asks, walking to the tall grass while unknowingly a wild cat is moving silently from the distance. He continued walking, looking from left to right before he walked into a open area "this is new." He said before spotting a glass frog sitting on the giant log "oh hey little fella." He bends down in front of the log, staring at the frog "I never see you before." The frog croak causing him to chuckle "come on, let's put you somewhere safe." He gently pick him up and put him on the ground "bye little frog." The frog hops away as he wave goodbye.
Randy giggles taking a glance at the field before snapping his head "what is that?" He said, standing up and looking through the grass. He could've sworn he saw something moving in there which kind of look like an animal. He squinted his eyes, zooming in on that one spot before his eyes widen in fear 'oh no.' Oh no is right because in the grass and staring back at him is the same clouded leopard, crouching down and getting ready to pounce. It was at this moment that Randy felt fear for the second time in his life, and so he did what every sane person does when they see a wild animal. He run and scream in the other direction as the leopard gave chase "why me?" He screams, running for his life with the leopard right behind him.
He ran with adrenaline pumping through his veins, trying to lose the cat by going around trees, jumping over ponds and running through bushes but he couldn't shake her off. Sooner or later, he's going to run out of energy 'come on, where do I go?' He gasps before ducking when the leopard tried to pounce on him "not today kitty." He said before running away. She growls in annoyance, running after him. Randy ran and ran before stopping in front of the river "oh come on." He ran the other direction, glad that he lost the cat but angry that he got even more lost.
He groans, stopping himself to take a breather. Once he catches his breath, he spoke "why? Why do I always get a man-eating – aaaahhhh." His sentence was cut short when the clouded leopard pounces on him. Randy moans in pain before looking up at the cat and taking her features. She had dark grey fur with dark dusky-grey blotched patterns. She had black spots on her head and her ears are black, stripes running from the corner of her eyes and over her cheeks, stripes from the corner of her mouth to neck and along the nape to shoulders. Elongated blotches trail down her spine and form a single median stripes on the loins. She also had dark dusky-grey blotches on the side of her shoulders which emphasized by dark stripes, and passes onto her foreleg, which breaks into irregular spots, irregular blotches on her flank bordered by long, oblique, irregular curved stripes. The underparts and legs are spotted, and the tail is marked by large, irregular, paired spots.
Randy couldn't believe that he is staring at the most beautiful cat in the whole world "a clouded leopard." He whispered. As he stares, he noticed that she had four red bangles around her legs before looking at the silver collar around her neck 'wait a minute… that collar.' He squint his eyes to look at it closer. On the collar, there's a charm that looks like a star 'no way.' His eyes widen in realization as he looked up at the leopard. It was silent between them minus the sound of her breathing before he spoke "Brie?"
The cat now known as Brie stares at Randy in confusion before getting off of him. She blinks her eyes as he got up and walked to her "is that really you?" Brie narrowed her eyes.
"Who are you?" Her voice sound like honey. He can't believe that this is the same cat he had when he was four. He swallows a lump in his throat, fighting back his tears.
"It's me Brie. Randy Cunningham."
"Randy?" He nodded. Brie's eyes widen in shock. That's why he smells familiar because he was the one who took care of her. This is no intruder; this is her master "RANDY." She pounce on him again before licking his face thus, making him laugh.
"I miss you too." He said, laughing with tears down his face. So this is what Aurora means by family reunion. She knew Brie was here and that's why she brought him. When he gets back, he's totally thanking her. He gently sits up and stare into her brownish-yellow eyes "oh my goodness, Brie. You gotten big, I mean look at you."
"Look at yourself. You gotten cuter since the last time I saw you." She said, making him blush.
"I'm not cute."
"Yes you are. Ain't nobody's cuter than my master." He groans as she giggled before she gasps "oh my god."
"What? What is it?"
"I almost killed you. I can't believe I attacked my master, my guardian, my best friend." She bowed her head in shame "I'm a failure." He chuckle before petting her.
"It's okay Brie. We haven't seen each other for years, so it was bound to happen. And besides you didn't know it was me." She nods her head.
"Yeah you're right."
"Yes I am. By the way, why did grandma Noah took you away? Did I do something wrong? Cause last time I ask, she said you were sick and-"
"Whoa, wait a minute… wait a minute." Brie got off of her master and stares at him in confusion "who told you that?" Randy stood up and frown behind his mask.
"My mom told me."
"Randy… I was never sick." He blinked his eyes "don't you remember? I'm unable to get any virus or disease into my body." She said, walking to him.
"So why were you taken away?"
"It's not important anyway." He raises an eyebrow. Why did she tell him that it's not important? Is she afraid of telling him the truth? He wants to ask her these questions but decided against it, showing his respect for his friend. If she wants to tell him then she'll tell him when she's ready. Randy looked at the trees, watching the birds before another question popped into his head.
He snaps his head to her and spoke "hey Brie."
"Hmm?"
He digs into his suit and took out a picture that Aurora gave him when they got here "do you know where this is?" Brie stare at the picture "Aurora told me that someone will take me there. And I thought maybe you might know cause I'm kind of lost… so do you know how to get there?" He asks nervously.
"You mean the old ancient temple, deep within the Amazon Jungle?" He nodded "yeah I know how to get there. I pass that place so many times, I developed photographic memory." She smiled before hearing a chuckle. She looked up at her master and raises an eyebrow "what?"
Randy shook his head as he put the picture away "nothing it just… I thought you already have photographic memory."
"Shut up." He laughs as she walked past him "come on this way." She said. He rolled his eyes playfully before following her.
"We have so much catching up to do."
"Yes we do."
"Meera, I'm back."
"What took you so long?" Aurora sat down on her chair and smiled.
"I decided to pig out."
"Good grief." She sneaks a glance at Meera and grins.
"Hey, someone's in their human form." Meera turn to her mistress as she stare at her human form. Meera had white hair with butterscotch yellow patterns, fair skin and pointed ears. She's wearing a pale pink bell sleeve crop top, black skirt, black knee high boots and sapphire collar around her neck "you look beautiful."
"I appreciate the compliment." Aurora raises an eyebrow.
"Something's wrong, Meera." The snake shook her head "come on, you can tell me."
Meera crosses her arms, walking to her friend before sitting down on the chair. She sighed, closing her eyes before speaking "Nukpana called me today."
"Oh boy."
"And he wants me to meet him tomorrow." She frowned.
"For what?"
"He didn't say but I bet it's about Randy." Meera put her arms down and sighs "why he always leaving me in the cliffhanger?"
"I don't know, darling. Besides he's your mate." Aurora chuckled while she glared at her "hey it's true."
"Whatever." She said, rolling her eyes. It went quiet as her mistress continued to chuckle before she spoke.
"By the way, I met the demon kings today." The snake/human snaps her head to her.
"What?"
"Yeah I met them at that restaurant place."
"You mean PJ McFlubbusters?" Aurora snaps her fingers.
"That's the one."
"So what did you do?" Aurora grins mischievously "oh god. I know that look… please tell me you didn't."
"I tease them."
"Mistress why?"
"Cause I feel like it." Meera pinch the bridge of her nose.
"Aurora… I love you, well, I love you very much but I think you're asking for a death wish." Aurora leans back in her chair.
"Why you said that?" Meera puts her hand down and frown.
"Why? Why?" She stood up and face her friend "Mistress, we are dealing with not one, not two, three demon kings and one of them happen to like Randy." She emphasized the word 'like' as she continued talking "I have a hunch that they're looking for him."
"And they are."
"So why you tease them? Mistress, they could've killed you."
"And they won't."
"Why is that?" Aurora closes her eyes, grinning from ear to ear.
"Because they wouldn't dare use their powers in public, and even if they do, they'll keep it down to the minimum." She open one eye and stare at her "besides if they kill me, well, I don't think Randy will be happy about that, and I'm certain that break his future mate's heart." Meera's eyes widen.
"What?"
"Yes my darling friend" Aurora closes her eye "King Azazel is planning to make Randy, our adorable friend, his precious mate." She chuckled "ooh~ things just got interesting."
"And very surprising." Meera whispered as Aurora laughs.
"Yes indeed. So should I tell them that I know where he is?" Meera hums for bit before responding.
"Let's give them a week."
"Okay."
Back in the Amazon Jungle, Randy and Brie is walking through the jungle as they look for the temple. The Norrisville Ninja look at his surroundings "who knew the rainforest can be so peaceful." Brie nods in agreement "by the way, how long have you been here?"
"Like about three years." Randy's eyes widen in shock before turning to Brie.
"You're lying."
"Nope." He cursed under his breath.
"Oh Brie, I'm sorry. I mean if I knew you were here I would've bring you back home." Brie chuckled.
"Its okay, Randy. Besides your friend kept me company throughout the years." He smiled behind his mask.
"That's good."
"So how old are you?"
"I'm fourteen." Brie stops walking and snaps her head to him.
"WHAT?!" Randy stares at his feline companion before laughing.
"Shocking huh?"
"Yes very shocking." She sigh "boy, time sure fly by when you're having fun." He nodded "come on, we're almost there to the temple." She started walking again; with Randy right behind her. It was silent between them, just enjoying the comfortable atmosphere before he started whistling "what are you whistling?"
"The theme song of whoopee world." She raises an eyebrow.
"Is that an amusement park?" He nodded "well that song is kinda catchy." She smirk "keep going." He started whistling the song again before she sang along. They continued walking, singing the song together before Brie stopped "hey Randy." Randy stops singing.
"Yeah?"
"We're here." He looks in a front of him to see the 15 ft ancient temple. It looks actually the same on the picture. The temple is made from stone marbles with green moss growing from the sides, and tree roots are on the left side of the temple. Some of the stones are missing with some of the stones are changing color from grey to white. He was in awe, looking at it as he followed Brie.
"Wow." He said, walking towards it before putting his hand on the stone. He rubs it, feeling it under his fingers 'this is just like my vision.'
"If you thought this is beautiful, wait until we get inside." He turns to Brie, who's grinning in excitement "come over here." He put his hand down and went to stand next to her. In front of her is a 9 ft door with weird symbols and in the middle is a symbol shape like a diamond.
"Okay I see the door but how do we get inside?" Brie's grin grew bigger.
"Put your hand on that diamond." She answered, pointing at the diamond. He raises an eyebrow, staring at it before putting his hand on the door; where the diamond is. Right when he touch it, the diamond lit up in bright light before the door began to open making him pull his hand away. They watch in amazement as the door gets wider and wider before it was completely open "let's go Randy." Brie ran inside as he stood there in shock "come on Randy." Randy shook his head.
"I'm coming." He said as he ran inside. Not after he went inside, the door began to close before being completely shut. Inside the temple, everything is dark, cold and eerily quiet. The sound of footsteps echoed throughout the halls before a voice was heard "Ninja Flashlight." Suddenly, the halls are lit up as Randy and Brie walked down the halls as he holds onto the flashlight.
"You have a flashlight in that suit?" She asks.
"Yeah, this suit comes with everything." Randy responded, shrugging one shoulder. Brie hums as they continued walking and looking at the symbols "this temple is huge."
"Yeah it is." The clouded leopard looks at the drawings, gazing at them with fond interest "I wonder how long this hall is."
"I'm thinking 20 feet long."
"Randy."
"Hey it might be true." Brie rolls her eyes before spotting the door.
"Hey I found a door." She ran towards it with Randy right behind her before stopping in front of it. She stood up on her hind legs, putting her paws on the door as she look for something.
"What are you looking for?" Randy asks.
"The diamond. You know the one from outside." She narrowed her eyes "I know it's here. Noah said that there's another diamond to open the door." She pushes off from the door and began to walk around "where is it?" As she looks around, Randy stares at the door and shining his flashlight while trying to find the diamond. He then walks backwards and away from the door before stopping just two feet from it before raising his flashlight.
"Brie, come here." Brie turns around and walks back to her friend.
"You found the diamond?"
"Yeah but one question." She raises an eyebrow.
"What?"
"How do we reach it from here?" He asks while pointing his finger above the door; which she followed before groaning.
"You got to be kidding me." Right above the door is the diamond symbol "there's no way we can reach that." She sighs in disappointment "this is so not Bruce." Randy hum in thought, looking around the halls before spotting a hook in front of the symbol. He smirked before using his scarf as a grappling hook.
"Ninja Grappling Hook." He said as he put the flashlight in the sash before swinging to the door. He then planted his feet on it and began climbing up "hey Brie, I found the solution to our problems." Brie looks up and gasps.
"Oh my god, don't hurt yourself." He chuckled as he climbs upward.
"Don't worry, I got this." He keeps climbing until he's facing the symbol. He smiled in victory before planting his hand on the diamond, and just like the first one, the door began to open right when it lit up "I did it."
"Nice job. Now get down from there." He nodded before dropping down, using his scarf as a bungee cord making him land safely before untangling it from the hook. Brie sighs in relief "you're one crazy kid." He laughs as the door fully open itself "come on, you got to see this. Noah shows me what it looks like inside the temple, and I got to see it in person." She said walking forward as Randy shuts off the flashlight before following her. After they walk past the door, it began to close on them as they walk towards the light.
Randy covered his eyes by using his arm before the light receded "man that was bright."
"Whoa. Randy, look at this." Randy uncovered his eyes, and blinks them to adjust the light before gasping in pure awe. The inside was more beautiful from the outside. The room was lit in pale blue hues with a long stairs leading to a circular rock pillar made from stone marbles; which had a statue of the moon and sun. The statue is pure gold with a hint of silver powder, the sun is gold while the moon is silver, standing side by side.
A waterfall coming from both side of the room, flowing down to the water below and making a wave like motion, a stone bridge set above and across the room, attached to the walls and leading out from two entrances. Across the room is another hall which is lit up by fire torches, big hole on top of the hall with a golden pedestal, lit up by fire and above of them is a drawing of the moon and sun, glowing in a pale blue light.
"Oh my god."
"Randy Cunningham. Welcome to the temple of the Ancients." This is when their journey truly begins where they will find so many secrets inside the ancient temple. This is when the true story begins.
