hola. i've done some thinking, so i kind of know exactly what i'm going to do with this story now. haha. alrighty, here's the second chapter..and thanks for the reviews.oh and by the way, this chapter, nothing really happens. it just goes alongside the movie plot, until the next chapter. this was in a way, a placeholder, you could say. the 'drama' starts next chapter. so this is a brief one. not even worth reading i guess.

The small entrance had led them into something quite incredible, besides the fact that the entire place was full of things what would make anybody nervous.

Skulls and skeletons hid in the corners, and webs laced the room from above and below. Mutt held the light up so he could see better.

"Wow." Indy muttered. Mutt had to agree, this was amazing. He nodded unconciously, stepping forward before a firm arm stopped him in his tracks. He glanced at Indy, who was examining a pair of fresh foot prints on the floor. " Don't touch anything."

Letting his arm drop, Indy bent down. "Somebody has been here. Or, somebodies."

Mutt studied the tracks himself." They're the same size. They might be the same person twice."

Indy looked at the kid, then smirked, patting his back. "Not bad kid." Using the boy's shoulder, he pushed himself up.

Dropping the backpack down, he examined the room cautiously. Indy did the same, though he was a bit faster at it. Noticing a skull, Mutt called Indy over. "Hey, look at it's skull." It had been large, just like the skull they were looking for.

"Why's it like that?" he asked quietly, looking up at the man for an answer.

"They used to bind their infacts skulls to get it to look like that."
To Mutt, that seemed kind of disgusting. He quickly shook the images of it out of his head. "Why?"

"To honor the gods." Indy walked away from Mutt and the skull, continuing to look around.

Jones held up a flashlight to one large sack. It looked like a caccoon, wrapped up tightly. In the corner of his eye, he could see another. He shone the light on that one breifly, before Mutt came from behind.

"What is it?"

Indy didn't answer that question, but only began counting to himself as he shone the light on a few more.

"1, 2, 3, 4,5...6...7." He gave the younger boy a look. "Looks like Orellana might have made it back after all."

Turning to face the sack nearest him, Indy bent down. "You gotta knife kid?"

Mutt quickly handed him his. Indy silently thanked him, as he began to run the knife down the center of the sack. Once he was finished, he handed the knife back to the kid. He proceeded to pull the sides apart, revealing a prefectly preserved body. They both stood, staring at it with the same facial expression.

"Woah.." Mutt said under his breath. "It looks like he just died yesterday!"

"It's the way he was wrapped." Indy stated, as he looked it over.

Without notice, the mummy's preserved face began to deteriorate right in front of their eyes.

Mutt's mouth gaped wide open, like a fish. "W-what just happened..?" he asked, completely confused.

"He''s been wrapped up for a real long time." Indy explained." Air doesn't agree with 'im."

Indy reached in and pulled out a knife from beside the body. Mutt watched him like he was adjusting a bomb. Indy held up the knife, and was about to pocket it before he noticed the boy. "Well, I don't wanna keep borrowing your's."

Mutt nodded, in a confused manner. "No, I mean, right. I understand."

Indy shook his head, and put it back. He knew it wasn't such a good idea. At least not to the kid.

Mutt licked his lips and turned around. He began to walk over to one of the sacks in particular. "Hey, is this one opened already?"

Indy pushed himself up from the ground, and dusted off his pants. He went over to the sack and furrowed his brows. It was open already.

Pulling apart the sides, he was stunned. The body was covered in armor. "It's Orellana himself!" He said, looking at the kid.

Suddenly, the lantern Mutt had been holding began to point upwards, towards the body. They both gave a look, as Indy lifted the body a little. He smirked, at seeing something. He quickly scooped up the body, and tossed it over the boy's shoulder. "Hold this." He said, a bit of excitement shown on his face.

Mutt held his breath, without thinking. He looked at the mummy on his shoulder. It's face right next to his, and its own mouth gaped open. A set of shivers went down his spine.

Indy carefully picked something up, from behind where the body once been. He held it up to the boy, who had by then tossed the body down and wiped his shoulder. "Kiiiiddd."

Mutt turned his attention to him, and his eyes widened. As soon as he layed his eyes on it, he was shocked.

It was the skull! Admiring its every peice, Indy turned it in his hands. "It's the skull.." Mutt said. "But, what's it doing here?"

"Ox must have put it back where he found it." Indy said.

Mutt's knife he had held in his hand, was pullled away from him and stuck straight to the skull's cranium. Indy gave a confused look, and Mutt pryed his knife away from it.

"Crystal's not magnetic."

"Neither is gold."

Indy gave a small chuckle. " What is this thing?"
