A/N: I got a writers block with this fic. It was ment to be as a one shot and I kind of regret posting more chapters because the updates are slow and I wasn't sure If I could finish it but I'm happy I got new Idea's and also wrote the plot to finish the story.
Flint and mungo wanted to climb back in the tree when it looks like it wasn't the right time to approach Terk now that She's more upset than ever before.
But their eyes were met with Kala's disappointment and stern gaze. Pating her foot on the ground.
"Get over there and apologise" "Now!" Kala pointed. Flint and mungo cowered slightly like children who are being scolded.
They swallowed and made their way to the lake where Terk is being comforted by their pack leader.
Terk? Flint said carefully. And mungo watched over his shoulder.
"What do you want?" Terk wiped her face.
"Just go I,m not in the mood for your childish behavior" Terk wanted to get up but Tarzan grabbed her hand.
"Terk atleast her them out. Tarzan said quietly and Terk sat down again but this time facing them.
"Were sorry Terk" flint and mungo said. " we just saw it as a oppertunity to get back at you for all time time you bossed us around"
"So now that Terk is weak and vulnerable you thought it was the right time to get back at her" Terk sniffed. "Very many guys."
"Terk. We shouldn't have done that. But It felt good getting back at you for a moment" "All we wanted is tolet you know what It's like to be picked on and stop with the taunting and bossin around" Flint tried to explain.
"Well I stopped now" Terk said a bit angry, Happy now? I hope so because I won't talk to you guys ever again.
"Terk come on they are Sorry and swallowed their pride to apologise" Tarzan said. " Can you Atleast accept their appology.
"Maybe not the nicest or charming Gal in this jungle but Even I know It's not cool to pick on someone who is in her darkest hour" "So No I won't accept"
"Terk listen, Everyone has done something they regret later. After they hve realised their mistake" Tarzan said making his friend turn around.
But you can't punish them forever. " Because I know one day you will make the same mistake and you also want to be forgiven by the ones you've done wrong" Tarzan said.
Terk's scowl faded and her pouty lips curved into back to normal. "You are right. Terk said but it still stings"
"We know mungo said. And we will help you defeat La"
"Thanks guys Terk squeaked happy ans sad at the same time" and came up to them for a group hug. And Tarzan watched them with Glee.
"But you are still a bunch of idiotic butt sniffin bozo's Terk said turning into a tough tomboy again grabbing their heads and making them headbut against eachothers faces.
"ouww" flint and mungo whined in unison. And fell on the ground.
"And that's for making me cry! Hmmpf! Terk said and marched towards the trees.
Tarzan rolled his eyes with disbelief. But atleast they are friends again in Terkina language.
The weather in Africa has changed from warm to blazing heat. It was like africa Is in a oven. But in the jungle it seems peaceful but that might change since La won't wait forever she will strike again.
Tarzan must kill her before she has reached her maximum power. If he fails then La's spirit becomes immortal and shall hunt Tarzan's decendants until the end of the Earth.
Tarzan won't let that come that far. La must be stopped no matter the cost.
Jane wants to come with Tarzan but he couldn't let her come with him. She almost got hurt last time they confronted La. And she would make him more vulnerable when she is there with him.
Tarzan and the gang entered the city of opar. It was quiet. Too quiet. Mungo and flint looked around and flinched everytime they heard something When a cold haunting wind breezed over the deserted eerie atmosphere
A demonic chuckle was heard echoeing in the chamber when the doors closed.
trails of sand fell down and the room started trembling and large sharp blood soaked with rotting limbs and skeletons attached to them started closing in on them from the seiling.
The city of Opar will be your tomb! Terk heard the same words in her dreams.
"oh No!" Terk breathed. We are doomed.! Terk yelled and watched in horror as the spike trap is coming closer.
Tarzan saw a small gap that could lead to their eacape. The gap almost got closed but Tarzan rushed and kept the gap open using all of his strength to keep the gap open.
"Hurry up" ! Tarzan shouted and everyone crawled under the gap.
Terk came to his aid when Tarzan struggled and helped him keeping the gate open.
Surpisingly Terk still has her gorilla strength left.
Terk you don't have to do this! "Get yourself to safety and I'll do the rest" tarzan said.
"No,I won't leave you behind". "That horrible dream I had can't become reality.! Terk said and gritted her teeth and pulled the gate further up so that Mungo's chubby frame could pass.
a strange Scentaury of ice was seen in the distance and down there was a black hole kind of portal. They had to find a way to cross the hazard of ice.
A cold frosty area was there with large mountains but underneath it was dark bottomless pit and if anoyone falls down then the unlucky one will dwell in the abys for eternality.
at the end of the tunnel was a bright violet glow.
Terk felt chills and recognized the room it was the same area in she saw in her nightmares.
Tarzan told everyone to stay back and walked to a large Ice Pilar on the seiling of the cave. "Tarzan wait" Terk said . Let me try" IMade their way through the sharp deadly ice spikes.
" Be careful.." Mungo squeaked. If we fall down into the abyss then were dead!
"Gee I had no idea. I thought we'll end up in banana land." Flint said sarcastically.
" Can you please be quiet?" One loud noise and this ice cave will collapse" Tarzan shushed them.
They both swallowed nervously and followed Tarzan. After climbing and almost falling off the edgy area's they finally placed their feet on solid ground. Flint and Mungo huffed exhausted feom the anxiety they felt.
"Stay here Tarzan ordered I'll make sure the coast is clear.
Tarzan hid behind a Ice wall and peeked around. There was a anchient Altar with languages that only the people of Opar could read. It looks like writing of Atlantis.
Terk saw the strange light becoming brighter. Terk curiously came closer and tried to touch the purple light.
" Terk! Terk" !No stay back! Tarzan yelled alarmed.
Terk got out of her trance and looked into the purple light that grew bigger and a face was seen. Large claws reached towards Terk's face to grab her.
Tarzan sprinted towards Terk to come to her aid pushing her aside. A ghost like form of La appeared from the light and charged towards the group.
She flied through the bodies of Flint and mungo they trembled when they hit he ground
Tarzan and Terk came to their Aid nut It was too late they closed their eyes and their breathing stopped. Tarzan and Terk mourned briefly for the two gorilla's.
Terk looked behind her shoulder watching La grow bigger looking more sinister as her pupils disapears when the power of the stolen souls consumes her.
Tarzan clutched his spear in both hands ready to fight her and this time end her no matter what the others think. Taking a life is wrong but letting a evil entity like La live is worser.
La looked at Tarzan's spear with spite. All Tarzan has to do is throw that spear with perfect aim to the power shakra in her heart and she'll lose all her power.
she couldn't let Tarzan find out her weakness and will use Tarzan's desire to protect against him
"Your Little ape girlfriend will be next" La grinned and charged towards Terk.
Tarzan saw it coming and tried to push Terk out of the way. La's plan worked Tarzan was off guard while protecting Terk and took his soul instead of hers.
Terk was on the verge of tears when Tarzan's body became cold
Terk shook Tarzan's lifeless frame..
She feared this will happen just like in her dreams. "Tarzan you have to wake up please! Terk sniffed. " Don't leave me here by myself" "don't die! Don't die" Terk pleaded hoping her best friend will open his eyes.
Terk felt Queen La coming closer holding her staff. Ready to strike. " This Tomb will be your grave" La shrieked.
Terk grabbed a handful of snow and dirt and threw it in La's eyes blinding her for a moment.
Terk knew she hasn't alot of time left and made a run for it.
La rubbed the snow from her eyes and saw Terk disappear in the Ice cave maze.
Terk heard La's demonic snickering and laughter echoeing behind her.
"There is no where to run" " Every time I capture a soul I'm one step closer to immortality" Let me feel the warmth again when I suck yours out of your corpse"
Terk tried to ignore La but Terk feels fear creeping over her spine.
" Let me cast you to the underworld where all the restless souls wander" "And I'll expose you to your greatest fears"
Terk looked behind her and stopped in her tracks. She reached a dead end and could hear La's footsteps coming closer.
"I'm going to to get you" La giggled. " I'm going to get you! La said louder.
I'M GOING TO GET YOU! "
Terk clasped her hands over her ears and tried to find a way out before it's too late. She could already see La's reflection in the ice many feet away from her.
"Enough with this come out and face me monkey! La said through annoyance and snickering.
Terk looked for a fragile spot and started chopping it La heard the sound and knew where to look for her. Terk created s new path and quickly crawled under the ice.
Terk inhaled in relief but jumped when La looked under the ice reaching out a large claw towards Terk but La couldn't grab her.
"You will never save your friends unless I set them free"! La said scratching the ice floor with her long sharp finger nails and faded into nothing.
Terk heart raced and panted. If she didn't found the new passage La would have killed her just like in her dream. Terk was scared and alone in the dark ice caved atmosphere in the city of Opar. Terk got up and tried to find her way.
All she could hear was drops falling on the ground and hopes there isn't another creature in the dark corners waiting to strike her.
"Tarzan Terk cried. " I'm scared. " But I'll save you, I'll face that devlin myself" "But I won't leave with out my friends La" Do you hear?! Terk shouted. A crack in the distance was heard Terk Made a EEP noise when a purple light passed by.
For a minute she feared that La came back to finish her but nothing happened. Terk looked around restless as she walked to the area where she saw the light.
When she came close she could hear the ghostly howl from tormented souls. Terk swallowed part of her wanted to turn back but turning back means running into La again and doesn't know how to defeat her ghost form.
The howling sounds are so terrifying but she must push forward. Because she knew that in that chamber she will find Tarzan's spirit and realse him.
