LAST TIME...

"Futatsu no koe kasanatte

Dare yori mo kedakaku umare

Waga kyoudai Double-Action.

Kyou mo asu mo sekai wa ware-ra no tame. Go around!"

As the music faded out the crowd around them started to clap. All 6 of them stood in a line and bowed to the now big crowd.

Shortly after Ms. Watkins came into the room. She saw what was going on and sighed. That sigh got the attention of the gang and they turned around to look at her. "Must you six always gather a crowd?"

"Yes we do. It's what we do best." Ryan said with a grin.

Ms. Watkins let out another sigh and put her hand on her forehead. "Okay, that's enough antics for now. We have Pyramids to see!"

The gang pumped their fists and when Ryan finished putting his speakers away they left the hotel going to an adventure they would never forget.

Chapter 5

"We have to get through the desert on these?" Jessica yelled out in frustration.

Before everyone was a small herd of camels. There were eleven of them. One for each student, Ms. Watkins and the tour guide.

"These camels are the best I have and have taken many travelers like yourselves many miles through the desert." The guide said. "And not one has died." He paused for a second. "Well, there was this one that died mysteriously..." He looked at the class. "Ah, well he was an old one anyway. Let's go, eh?" He said quickly to change the subject.

Keith stepped in front of a camel that was presumingly his. "Introducing, your brand new camel! Watch out they spit."

As if almost on cue his camel spit in his direction but Keith managed to duck before it hit him. Everyone else started to laugh.

"Can we just get a move on Mr. Owens?" Ms. Watkins pleaded.

"OOOO!" Jon said. "She called you 'Mr. Owens'. She only does that when she is mad."

"That will be enough 'Mr. Castle'." Ms. Watkins said.

Jon's eyes widened after she said that. Everybody "ooo'd" him as he got onto his camel.

Now that everyone was on their camels they started to head out to adventure.

***20 Minutes Later***

"It feels like we have been out here forever! When will something show up?" Asked Michelle.

"I have a feeling we will be seeing something in a few minutes." The tour guide said. Just as he said that a pyramid came into site. "See, what did I tell you."

Everyone perked up on their camels and look on the near horizon. There was, in fact, a gigantic pyramid straight ahead. Everybody let out a round of "Wow."

"I can't wait to see what is inside of it."Ryen said.

"Yeah! I bet there are all kinds of gold and jewelry in there!" Said Michelle.

"I don't know. I mean if people continually go to this pyramid, there won't be any. And if there is, it's quite possible that the jewelry and gold that is inside was put into plexiglass boxes a while ago so no one steals them." Jon said.

"Way to be a downer, Jon." Jessica said.

"What? I'm just saying..."

"Alright, we are here." The guide said.

As the camels stopped, everyone's head went completely vertical as they all looked up at the ancient structure in front of them.

"Wow. This thing is huge!" Mike mentioned.

"One hundred feet, to be exact." Said the guide. "It is one of the oldest pyramids we have. I believe it was one of King Tut's pyramids. Not the main one, but one that had many things that belonged to him inside. But, as you know, all of the contents are gone to museums around the world."

"Aw, man!" Screamed Jessica. "And I was looking forward to getting a ring."

"Seems you can't even get a ring for free let alone from a guy, eh Jessie?" Keith said.

"Hey! That was a low blow." Jessica pouted.

"But didn't I tell you that there was probably going to be nothing here?" Jon said, boasting.

"Oh well. It's not like you were going to take anything anyways, right?" Ms. Watkins said with a scowl. The two girls shook their heads frantically.

The guide then got off of his camel and so did the group. They all walked to the door and the guide pushed aside some curtains that were hanging from the wall.

The gang walked down a very lengthy hallway and towards the end they started to see some artifacts that had been left due to their non-value. They "Oo'd" and "Ah'd" as everything passed and then Jon spotted some paintings on the wall.

"Hey guys, look!" Jon shouted in excitement. "Look at these paintings on the walls! They look like a battle." He walked up and down the painting until he came to a certain point "And look at this guy he's holding a spear. I wish I was in that battle. I would've killed most of the guys out of everyone."

"Yeah, probably all the guys on your side, right?" Jessica chimed in.

"I wish I had a stick right now! I'd hit you so hard your mama would feel it!" Jon retorted.

"Now, now. We all know that you would miss her and end up poking your own eye out. So, the only one who would feel anything would be you." Mike said.

"Aw, c'mon! Give me some credit!" Jon pleaded.

"I'll give credit when credit is due. How about that?"

Jon's head dropped and he sighed.

Ms. Watkins placed a hand on his back. "Shall we move along now?"

Jon nodded his head slowly with disappointment and the gang traveled on.

They walked down deep hallways and looked at all the hieroglyphics on the walls.

"Do you know what this means?" Jessica asked the tour guide.

"I do not." The tour guide replied. "These are characters that no one knows. There are researchers currently looking for answers to these and I am not sure how far, if at all, they have gotten."

"I see." Jessica replied as she took one more look at the markings.

The group continued on until they reached a dead end.

"There is more behind this wall, but because we don't know what is behind this wall, or how to even get to it, this is where the tour ends for this pyramid.

Everyone turned around, allowed the guide to get in front and then they proceeded to the entrance.

"This pyramid wasn't as big as I thought it would be." Keith said while walking.

"Well, you heard the guide didn't you?" Ryen said. "There is more to the pyramid, but we can't go in there. Kind of sucks though, because I'm sure there are some cool things in there."

"Well, we'll just have to wait until they figure out what's behind it." Ms. Watkins said.

"Yeah, but that could take years!" Keith said as they walked out of the pyramid.

"You'll just have to be patient." Replied Ms. Watkins.

"Um, sorry to interrupt, but shall we head to the other pyramid?" Interrupted the tour guide.

"Oh, yes. Sorry." Ms. Watkins replied.

They all got on their camels and the tour guide lead the group northeast.

They past a few different lizards and snakes along the way. Not to mention a vulture decided to follow them.

When they finally reached the pyramid the vulture perched itself on a near by dead tree to keep watch over them. They all got off of their camels and Jon turned towards the vulture.

"You know, we aren't going to die anytime soon." Jon stated. The vulture merely squawked at him. Jon shook his head and walked to the rest of the group.

As Jon got there the guide was finishing a few rules before heading into the pyramid. There wasn't much in there. All it was, was one room that had hieroglyphics on the walls and a small pillar in the middle of the room with a lamp on it. Everyone gathered around the small pillar.

"Legends say that the person in the lamp was, what we call today, a magician. He was on the run from the emperors right-hand man, Kamenwati. It is also in the legend that Kamenwati had the same powers as the magician. And around five thousand years ago, the magician lured Kamenwati into this room and sealed him in this pillar. The only drawback to this, is that in doing so also sealed the magician in this lamp. And since that day, the two have gone untouched."

"So cool." Jon said. "Is there anyway I can just touch it?" As he "asked" he took his right pointer finger and slowly approached the lamp.

"No! You must not touch it!" Yelled the tour guide.

But before the guide could get to Jon he placed his finger on the lamp. Everyone stood still waiting for something to happen, but nothing did.

"You idiot. Didn't I tell you NOT to touch the lamp before we came in?"

"If you did I didn't hear you. I was talking to the vulture."

"Well, you better be happy nothing DID happen or else we would be in big trouble. Oh, and you can take your finger off of it now." The guide said.

"Oh, yeah." Jon replied. He went to take his finger off, but it wouldn't. "Hey! What's going on? I can't take my finger off."

"Very funny." Said the guide. He grabbed Jon's wrist and tugged. Nothing happened. "Why won't you remove your finger?"

"I'm trying, but I can't. Mike, Ryen, Keith, give me a pull."

The three guys got behind him. They all pulled on each others waists and even with all their might, Jon's finger was STILL stuck to the lamp.

"Didn't I tell you not to touch it." The guide said.

"No you didn't. And even if you did, who knew this would happen?" Jon retorted. "I wish my finger was off of the lamp." With that sentence Jon pulled one more time and his finger came off of the lamp. Jon stood there looking at his finger. "What just happened?"

They all stood around puzzled as well.

Keith looked at the pillar and thought something looked different. Only after a second of thinking, it hit him. "Uh, guys?" They all looked at him. "Isn't there...something missing?"

They looked at the pillar and all together they yelled, "The Lamp!"

They searched the ground for it but couldn't find it. Finally, Jon found it. "There it is!" He yelled. He ran after it as it was flying in the air. Thinking that it was going to fall and hit the ground he ran under it. But, surprisingly it did not. It floated down into his hands safe and sound as if it were being controlled.

The group ran to Jon and stood around him. They were all looking at it and then the ground started to shake. It was shaking so much that no one could get a firm stance.

"What's going on?" Michelle yelled.

"Legend says that once someone removes the lamp from the pillar the great Kamenwati will be released!" The guide yelled back.

"Oh! Great!" She replied.

At that moment the ground stopped shaking. Everyone looked at the pillar. They walked towards it slowly and as they reached it a beam of light flew out of the hole in the middle and out of the pyramids top. After a brief second of shock, they all ran out of the pyramid. As they got out the beam of light flew towards the ground. About twenty feet in front of them the beam hit the ground with an explosion so hard the shock of it caused everyone to fall backwards.

As the dust cleared a man was standing in the crater that the beam created. "I'm...free." The man said. "After five thousand years, I am finally free!" He threw his right arm in the air and flew into the sky as lightning came out of his hand and into the sky.

"Kamen...wati?" The guide muttered.

Kamenwati looked down to see the group staring at him. He stopped the lightning and brought his hand down and floated to the ground slowly. "Well, what do we have here? Future humans." He started to walk towards the group. "Seems I get to have a little fun before I reek some havoc." As he was walking towards them he stepped on a book. He picked it up and looked at it. It was Ryen's Mighty Morphin Power Ranger comic. "Well, what do we have here? This seems to be some sort of collection of parchments. Pray tell, what is this called?"

"It's called a book." Ryen said as they all stood up.

"I see." He said. "And, what exactly are these, things, in here."

"It's a book about one of my favorite Television shows." replied Ryen.

"What is a, 'Tele-vision'?"

"It's a rectangular box that allows you to watch fictional and non-fictional shows. Kinda like going to a play, but you're not actually there." Keith explained.

"I see. And, what are these adorable creatures, here?" He turned the book around so they could see it and it was two pages describing the "grunts" that were used in the three seasons.

"Those are the Evil Head Master's henchmen, also known as 'grunts'. The silver ones are 'Putties' and the silver ones with the 'Z' on them are 'Z Putties'. The birds were only used a little bit and are called 'Tengas'." explained Keith.

"Then, these are powerful beings, then?"

"Are you kidding? They are-" Ryen started before Jon placed a hand over his mouth.

"They are very Powerful. They could destroy the world in one punch." Jon "finished" what Ryen was going to say.

"Well then, let's see what they do to mere humans, shall we?" Kamenwati said with an evil grin.

"What are you talking about?" Jon asked. But Kamenwati wasn't listening to him and as Jon finished his sentence he took his hand and placed it on the page of the book with the Putties on it and said something in a different language.

Jon looked back at everyone and said, "Guys, be careful. I think I know what's going on here."

They all nodded and Keith placed a hand on Jon's shoulder. "I think we all know what's coming up next."

"Good. Then you know what we have to do." They all nodded in unison. Jon turned back to Kamenwati and shouted, "Shell and Jess, you take Miss Watkins, the guide and the class in the pyramid. If they enter, do your best."

They both nodded and replied, "Right!"

They were about to enter the Pyramid when Jon shouted, "Michelle!" She stopped. "I also need you to take care of the lamp. It's what he's after." She nodded again and again attempted to enter the Pyramid but Jon yelled out again. "Michelle!" She froze, still facing the Pyramid. Jon looked down and said in a lower voice, "I'm counting on you." Michelle looked down and then ran into the Pyramid.

Jon then looked at Kamenwati. "Right. Mike, Keith, Ryen you're with me. If this is how it's gonna go down, we're doing it our way!"

As he finished his sentence Kamenwati finished his spell and dropped the book in the sand. It started to glow a very bright yellow, so bright it made the guys shield their eyes. By the time they opened their eyes there were a lot of Putties, Z Putties and Tengas standing in front of them.

"Wow. That's a lot more than I thought were coming out." Jon said.

"I'd say there are about sixteen here." Replied Ryen.

Jon looked back at him. "I didn't need the specifics."

"Sorry." replied Ryen.

"Apologize later. We've got some butt-whoopin to do." Ryen nodded.

Kamenwati raised his hand and after a little pause, he brought his hand down and yelled, "Get them!"

The grunts ran at them and the guys stood their ground. As they were running Jon yelled out, "Ryen and Keith take the Putties, Mike the Z Putties and I'll take the Tengas." They yelled out, "Yokai!" To acknowledge the orders. The four of them split up and ran at the group of grunts.

Ryen and Keith started to battle the Putties. Ryen went two-on-one with two putties. He threw a punch that was blocked by one and the other took a shot at Ryen. He blocked it, dropped to the sand and did a split which then made the two putties hit each other. He then spun from the ground to his hands which freed his legs to spin in a circle taking out the Putties. Just as he stood up another showed up and kicked him in the stomach. Ryen flew backwards and landed hard on the ground.

At the same time Keith was fighting three Putties. He threw a punch and hit one in the stomach and then did a side-kick which hit another in the chest which sent it flying. The third one came out and tripped Keith sending him to the ground. The Putty then ran to Keith, picked him up and threw him to where Ryen was laying. The two Putties that were free from fighting ran to the Pyramid and inside.

Also at the same time, Mike was battling four Z Putties. He ran at one and did a flying jump kick and sent it flying. It hit a tree, the "Z" on the front glowed and it then shattered into pieces. The other three showed up and they all exchanged punches and kicks, they were an even match. After a few more hits Mike finally got one in on one and sent it flying. It landed on the ground, shook and shattered. The other two backed up and went to punch at the same time but Mike blocked them, flipped them to the ground and punched the "Z's". With his fist still on them, the "Z's" started to glow and the Putties shattered causing Mike's fists to hit the ground.

Near Mike was Jon. He was dealing with five Tengas. He charged at them and did a somersault under all of their punches. He emerged on the other side and started to block all that came his way. He threw a few punches himself and managed to land a few. He ran towards the Pyramid, ran up the side and did a quick flip. The Tengas all ran into each other and he landed behind them. The last out of the three left ran at him but he blocked a punch and connected with a palm to the chest which sent the Tenga flying into the group of downed Tengas.

Just then Jon saw the two Putties run into the Pyramid. He looked over and saw Ryen and Keith on the ground. He ran over to them and picked them up. Mike showed up just after. "C'mon guys. Get yourselves together. Two putties went into the Pyramid., we need to go help the girls." Jon said. Ryen, Keith and Mike nodded and the guys ran into the Pyramid.

They had just made it inside of the pyramid and the putties were flying out of the pyramid. The guys dropped to the ground quickly and the Putties flew over their heads. They looked up to see Jessica lowering her leg and Michelle lowering her arm. The guys stood up and walked to the girls.

"Wow. Wasn't expecting that." Mike pointed out.

"What?" Jessica asked. "That we girls couldn't handle our own?"

"No, not that. What I wasn't expecting was to have to clay brains almost embedded in my skull. I knew you could hold your own. You always could."

Jessica blushed a little and smiled. Then quickly changing her mood and saying, "Well someone has to save your behind every now and then." She then punched him in the shoulder.

Mike grabbed his shoulder and winced in pain. "That hurt!"

"Guys, that's enough fooling around, we have to get back out to Kamenwati." Jon stated. They all nodded and they ran out after Jon.

When they made it out Kamenwati was muttering to himself in a different language. They all came to a stop outside of the pyramid with Ms. Watkins and their classmates.

"You! You lied to me! Those, THINGS, were not powerful! They were weak! How dare you deceive me! Now, behold! I will show you true power!" He lifted off the ground and raised both hands in the air as if he was lifting something heavy. Suddenly the ground started to shake which caused everyone to fall over.

"What's he doing?" Michelle asked.

"Um, what's that?" Asked their classmate Steve.

They all turned around to see what Steve was looking at only to see the pyramid was lifting off the ground. They watched as it soared in the sky and over their heads. Kamenwati flew higher in the sky and stood atop the pyramid. He looked down at everyone and said, "Lowly humans! I shall return to finally get my revenge on those who imprisoned me!" With that the pyramid flew off into the sky.

Slowly everyone stood up and continued to watch the spot where the pyramid just disappeared.

"Can you believe that just happened?" Keith exclaimed. "We were actually fighting putties!"

"We not only FOUGHT putties, we kicked their butts!" Ryen yelled.

"Relax guys." Jessica said.

"Yeah, it's not like we took out a lot of them." Michelle said.

"Still!" Keith yelled. "We fought putties and won! You've got to admit it was fun." Keith then noticed Jon wasn't celebrating. He walked over to him and put an arm around him. "What's up?"

Jon stood still with a blank look on his face looking at his finger. "I'm still wondering how my finger got stuck to the lamp and then it just came off. I mean...my finger was really stuck." He walked away from Keith. "I had absolutely no way to get it off. Yet somehow when I wished it off, it came off."

"Maybe..." Ryen thought and walked forward. "Just maybe, the magician in the lamp heard your wish and took your finger off."

They all looked at him as if he was crazy.

"What?" He asked.

They all started to laugh and Mike put an arm around him. "You're kidding right? No way that could happen."

"Yeah, I guess you're right."

They laughed and walked over to their camels, got on and rode off back to the hotel.

After such a big adventure the gang thought that their adventure was over, but they were wrong, very wrong...
