Discoveries
Kinabalu National Park, 9 am, the next day
Sam led the way through the dense foliage as his fellow explorers follow close after. "Hey not that I don't think you know where you're going but why can't we just slice through all these plants?" asks Ed, having difficulty moving his large frame through the jungle.
"Because a lot of these plants are found no where else but in Borneo so we have to be careful." replied Miki, easily moving her smaller body through the foliage.
"Except me because I'm taking samples." said Logan, placing one of his samples in a vile.
"Besides this gives everyone an equal amount of work to do." said Sam.
"Look out!" yelled Ed, seeing something Sam hadn't. Sam jumps aside as a jaguar leaps past him. "Looks like I'm going to get some extra work.", Ed pulls his pistol.
"Don't kill it, I promised that I wouldn't kill any major predators." said Logan.
"Then to plan b."
"Which is?"
"RUN!"
"I could of thought of that." said Sam as they run the big cat give chase.
Marutoma research site, 9:25 am.
Clark puff on his cigarette as he goes over what hade been uncovered of the temple. It resembled a giant pyramid with a spike on top and four spiked towers on the sides. A curious thing was what the satellite had found underground. About thirty feet down, a massive chamber existed. It was roughly 150 meters tall, 75 meters wide, 200 meters long. Clark couldn't understand what something so large was meant to be use for.
Then it hit him, could the Cosmos' warning of the dragon been true? The thought sent a chill down his spine. "No, no it can't be." he whispered to himself, "Nothing could still be alive in those ruins after all these years, those Cosmos probably didn't even exist, they must have been figments of my imagination."
"Sir." said his research director over the phone.
"Yes."
"We've translated the writing on the door."
A massive door had been found to be covering the entrance with massive writing on it. When they had found it the Cosmos' warnings had returned to Clark's mind as he pondered whether the massive wall of stone was to keep raiders out or keep something else in. "What did it say?"
"It said 'Those who dare open this tomb must do battle with its Guardian, the brother of Bagan, Mogu.' Should we still dig through?"
"Yes, even if they left some protector in that tomb, there is no way something could still be living in there after a million years."
Kinabalu National Park, 10 am.
The group had somehow escaped the Jaguar. "Why'd it just give up like that?" asks Miki.
"Jaguars prefer to ambush their pray, it may of just given up because we started running." said Sam.
"Don't move a muscle." said Ed, he walks up behind Sam. "Hey doc did you make any promises about scorpions?"
"No."
Ed stabs a knife into Sam's shoulder, he pulls the knife out to show a very large, black scorpion. " You're a magnet for danger in this forest aren't you? If that had stung you, you'd be dead. See how small the claws are? That means it has very strong venom." said Ed, "I've never seen this type before, doc have you?"
"No I haven't. I'll have to clarify but I think we just found a new species." said Logan, placing the dead scorpion in a vile.
A loud scream echoes through the jungle. " What was that?" asks Miki.
"Trouble."
Marutoma Research site, 10:30 am.
"Sir." said the director over the phone.
"Yes?" asks Clark.
"The drill couldn't penetrate the door."
"Then blow it down."
"But sir-"
"Don't but me! I'm you boss and if I say blow the door down, you blow it down. There must be something good in a temple this large and we must have it."
"Ok sir."
Kinabalu National Park, 11 am.
The group run through the forest as fast as possible, "Where in the world did that come from?!" yelled Sam.
"I don't know nor do I care, I just don't want it to catch me." replied Ed. A praying mantis twice the size as a man erupts from the foliage behind them.
"Its called a Kamacuras, it's a prehistoric mantis species I read about. The landslide must of released it from some kind of suspended animation. Good news is, he would of killed any other Kamacuras in the area." said Miki.
"Oh that's so comforting." said Sam.
"Hey doc? Can I kill this thing?" asks Ed.
"Please do." said Logan.
"Good.", Ed spins around and plants empties his pistol in the giant insect's head, killing it instantly.
"You couldn't of done that a hour ago?!" said Sam as the group stops.
"Hey all that running got us a lot closer to our destination."
"According to the satellite, it should be right over that fallen log over crevice." said Miki.
"I don't need that computer to tell me that we were almost eaten by a praying mantis's big brother!" said Sam, panicking.
"Hey I killed it and besides, its more like its grandfather." said Ed.
Marutoma Research Site, 12 am
The charges were in place as Clark watched from his window. The Cosmos appear beside him"Clark, please stop, Mogu may not be nearly as powerful as his sibling but he still sees any human around him as an enemy, he will slaughter you and all your men if you set him free." they warned.
"Oh please, you don't even exist. Beside nothing could live after a million years." said Clark, confident of himself. "Blow the charge."
"Yes sir." said the director, he signals for the charge to be detonated. The explosion blasts stone over the area. The workers look on as the dust settles. A red ball of energy launches from the darkness and destroys the drill. Two red eyes gleam in the tomb's dark opening.
Well another chapter done, sorry for killing Kamacuras so easily, he has never stood a chance against Godzilla so I thought it makes since. Next chapter has a good bit of monster action as Mogu attacks.
