The sunrays come through the tree leaves, as you look over your shoulder to make sure none of the others had followed you at all. Once it was clear, you take a seat. As you clear your mind, they start to glow red. As you just stared ahead of you. Now in a trace inside your mind, where you crept around ever so softly.
Your astral self set in your mind looks around, it was dark with just a few candles to light your way. You go as soon as you take a step a path was created for you, the more steps you took the longer the path got and the more candles lite your way. Not bothering to look behind your back you just kept going and going. Till you finally come to a stop.
Infront of a greyish door, placing your hand on the handle you turn the knob as you open the door. Going inside, shutting the door behind you. Standing in the middle of the room, looking ahead there was dark hall with no lights to light your way. Going down the hall, you heard screams of pain and suffering. The sound of clawing nails, the smell of death. Filled your nose. This was more then your brain could take, you hurry up and speed up your walking, as you felt as something was coming after you suffocating.
Turning your speed walk into running, you hurry as your heart started to pound. You just had to reach the other end of this pitch dark hallway. Since you could remember you could never reach it in your mind. There was something here, you knew it. Since those flashbacks in your mind. It started to get you to think of this dark place in your mind.
You kept running, when you heard the laugh that always sent chills down your spine. You dared not look back, but you did since you never knew which way the laughter came from. Tripping you start to fall through the floor. Turning around you look as you see two bright dark red eyes, looking straight at you into your soul. A huge grin then forms, as the teeth where shown. Your eyes filled with fear, as you get ready to attack, but the mouth opens as it shots long bandages,wrapping around you. Stopping you from doing anything. It pulls you down, with fast speed.
With the others, after the discovered the entrance to the Tower of Omens.
"Better go and g-"Cheetera, your screams where heard. As well a huge energy blast that shot up into the sky. That caught everyone's attention.
They all look at eachother, and waste no time to hurry up and run over to you.
"Zahra!Zahra!"Lion-O yells, his speed was greater then others to hurry over to you. His brother wasn't that far behind.
"Zahra!"Cheetera and twins call for you as joins in with them.
Just as they where about enter where you went to. You emerge out, making them all stop. They look at you. You look back at them, just fine. Though their faces told a different store. There was panic in all their faces.
Arching an eyebrow at them"Whats wrong?"you asked them, in your normal tone voice.
"Are you ok?"Cheetera asked you.
You look at her, then the rest."Yes, why wouldn't I be?"you asked her back.
"We heard you screaming, then a huge energy blast came from where you were."WilyKit tells you.
You look at her, then back the rest"I don't know what your talking about."
They look at eachother then back at you."Zahra are you sure?"Lion-O asked you, you look at the prince. He had the same concerned face on like Tygra did.
Walking pass them, not wanting to be cornered at all by them"Was there anything found on the Tower of Omes?"you asked them as you changed the topic.
Amun hurries up and follows you, the others follow you as well. Though Panthro looks at you not the least bit happy about what just went down.
"...We found the entrance to the Tower."Cheetera tells you.
"That fast? Where is it?"you asked her.
"Not to far."She tells you.
It didn't take long to reach the cave that lead to the Tower. Upon entering the cave, following Lion-O who took led again. There was a pathway that led to a door at the end. Though it didn't seem harmless unless someone looked down. Below the path, laid sharp spikes. The twins along with Amun and Snarf, stop and look at what was below them scare. Amun just looked at it not the least bit amused.
You stop walking as you look at the twins, you go over to them. To try and comfort them of their fear, when you heard a loud clicking sound. You stop as you look over seeing Cheetera had gotten one of the keys that hung above you all to try and open the door.
It was quiet with everyone, when you heard another loud sound that came from straight ahead. You look on, when you saw the pathway quickly start to vanish. The twins, Snarf and Amun start to run quickly the way you where and the others. You hurry up and run to them.
"Zahra!"they yell for you.
You fly to them as you quickly grab hold of them, once they all jumped on you. Their force pushed you back, as you rammed into the others. As the floor beneath them vanished as well. Lucky Panthro grab hold of the little ledge that was left. Everyone grabbing onto Panthro. You had to grab onto Tygra's waist with WilyKit in your arms and Amun on Lion-O's head.
You look down at the spikes, you would easly get everyone out. But the pain you just suffered from when the others rammed you,and you rammed the others from them. Was taking its toll.
"Zahra, can you make us something?"Cheetera asked you.
You try to focus but the pain was a bit much"No, sorry."you tell her
"We got it."WilyKat tells you
"Yeah"WilyKit tells you, as she gets out your grasp and makes her way up through the others.
"Find the key"Panthro tells them. As they climb up on him.
"Leave this to the masters"WilyKat tells everyone.
"Hurry,there's hundreds to pick from"Lion-O grunts.
"Why waste time picking at a key"WilyKit
"When you can just pick the lock"WilkyKat tells as he picks it. When he unlocks the door, as it opens up.
Everyone starts to climb up using Panthro."Here hold on."Tygra tells you, as he throws up Snarf, he then pulls you up. Holding you on your injured side. You winch in pain."Sorry"he tells you. He then pulls himself up, just fine with you."There"he lays you down.
The twins run over to you, as he goes and helps up Panthro along with Lion-O."Are you ok Zahra?"WilyKit asked you.
You hold your injured side. As you nod your head at them. Placing your hand on it, you hum to yourself. In just a few seconds you where healed just fine. Standing up to show them and the others.
"Good your ok"Lion-O smiles at you, placing a hand on your shoulder.
You just look at him, as you turn looking down the hall"...The book must be near"
"The book could be just beyond that wall."Lion-O states. Panthro looks at the hall, with a smile as he starts to walk only to step on stone and almost to get diced by the now spinning razor blades that blocked everyone's path now.
Cheetera pulls him back"Legends, said the ancients made a series of obstacles outside the temple to keep outsiders away."Cheetera explains.
"Then this whole place is a death trap"Pathro looks on at the spinning blades.
"...Gotta move fast"Cheetera smiles, as she dashes her way through the blades, just barely dodging them. Till she made to the end. As she stop this trap. Everyone walks through the now open door, as she comes and follows behind.
The next room, there as nothing but small little fountain in the middle, and the bottom of it was gold coins.
"Look treasure!"Wilykit exclaims, her eyes brighten up.
"We're rich"WilyKat says, as he waste no time to plunge his hand into the water. To take out the coins, causing ripples in the water.
"No wait!"Lion-O tells them. Only to be to late, as the rippling effect caused the light that was being made by the coins, to move. Causing water to start to pour out everywhere around everyone.
Everyone hurries to high ground, you just get into the air. As you look at the water now raising, your eyes widen at the sight. As an image of you being forced underwater went through your mind.
You felt yourself being suffocated as you start not to look panicked, looking around as you hurry up and fly to corner only to have some water fall from above it did you scream, as you get plunged into the water, under it.
Your eye shot open wide. As you start to struggle against the current that was pulling on you. Horrific images flashed through your mind, of you in inclosed spaces, others holding you down, your screams could be heard in your mind.
You scream in the water, causing you loose your air you had in your lungs, you quickly cover your mouth. You just kept sinking, your powers started to act up. Your vision was starting to get blurry, as you felt someone grab hold of your wrist,as they pulled you up. They could tell by the look on your face, you had lost air.
Without a second thought,you felt air being given to you as you where still underwater. You also felt someone else's lips on yours. Whoever it was supplying you with oxygen that you needed. Seeing you would be fine, they quickly pull you up quickly. As they did you release air again, as water comes into you. Causing you black out.
"Zahra, Zahra!"a voice calls out to you.
Something wet licks your nose as it whines"Zahra!"another voice calls out to you.
You finally come to it, as you felt fresh air on your face. You start to open your eyes as you cough up water. You felt someone pat your back.
"..."you look around to find sunlight. The clear sky. Then look around you see everyone looking at twins looked ready to cry as a matter of fact they had been crying. But seeing you alive and well, they wasted no time to get over to you,as they hugged you. Amun too sat in your lap.
"Zahra."Lion-O places his hand on the side of your face tenderly. You felt it, as it made your stiff up. Turning to look at him, he was looking at you with warm eyes. Though he was worried about you as well. He gives you a warm smile. Taking his hand off the side of your face, you stand up all the way. The twins help you up, Amun jumps out your lap as he stands by your side. You look and the Tower of Omens that had emerged from a waterfall."Lets go"Lion-O tells everyone.
Everyone starts to make their way to the Tower. You couldn't believe that it was found. Something lite inside of you, once you enter the place. It was huge inside with stairway like structure that twirled around.
"The book must be up there"Tygra looks up as does the rest of you.
"You did it Lion-O"Cheetera tells him
He smiles at her, then looks over at you. You where still looking up. He saw something in you, he remember what you told him, just as he was about to say it.
"Indeed he did, and this will be the last thing he ever does"a raspy voice.
That made your heart stop and blood turn cold as you turn around quickly to find, no other then Mumm-Ra your father. Standing there looking down at you all with a lanter. And in this lantern was no other then Jaga, though it wasn't him. It was more his soul.
"I led him right to you"Jaga"I'm sorry"
"Jaga, your alive"Cheetera
"...Hardly"Mumm-Ra tells her"He's nothing but a vapor in a jar and I little use for him now"He throws the lantern.
"Noooooo"Lion-O yells, Cheetera waste no time as she runs to get it. She got it just in time.
Mumm-Ra then shots a blast of energy at her, making her fly and hit a pillar.
"Cheetera!"You yell along with was about to go to her, when Tygra stopped him.
"We have to get to the book."he tells his younger brother, who takes in what he said and runs off to go to the book.
"Go I'll take care of Mumm-Ra."Panthro states.
You just look at your father, as he jumps down and starts to engage Panthro."Zahra, come on."Tygra tells you.
You stood there frozen, here your father was before your eyes. All you had thought of doing to him,here was your chance. But your blood was frozen, all you could do was run after Lion-O.
You hurry up as you follow Tygra, you where behind him a bit, only to stop as you look down and see as he transforms into his other form. The more muscular form with wings added. His magic was much stronger in this form, as he showed Panthro. Whom he blasted back with ease. Then took to the pursit of Lion-O.
Once he passed you, everything shut down in you. As you fall to the ground below. Unable to move at all. Memories swept through your mind. Of all the horrific things that had befallen you with him.
Drowning in depths of the hell you faced with him. Nothing but darkness clouded your mind now. As you got lost in it, when you heard two things. One was a that same soft sweet voice. That called out to you, and the second was the painful screams of Lion-O.
When his screams echoed through your ears. Flashes of his face entered your mind, of his smiles he had that he showed you. Along with what you asked him to do for you. Realizing now what he meant to you and finding this book meant as well.
Something inside you sprang loose, empowering you. Regaining your senses, you stand up as you look up at the top. Your eyes glow fierce, as your energy surrounds as if fire was around you. Shooting off into the air, you waste no time. As hear Lion-O's screams more. In just seconds you reach the top, to see your father hitting him with his energy.
"Arghhhhhhhhh"you ram right into him which knocks him off his attack on Lion-O.
He turns and sees you, as you stand infront of Lion-O. He looks at you, as he smiles at you.
"Well, well it seems you've come back."Mumm-Ra tells you.
"I won't let you hurt him, or the others!"you yell at him.
"And what can you do?"he stands up over towering like always"Your powers are nothing compared to mine. I taught you everything you know."he tells you.
Your hands flare up, as you shot a beam at him. He blocks it with ease. As he laughs at your little trivial attempts.
"...Is that all?"he looks at you.
"I have more...Mum-na-to-Ra!"you yell,as your energy blazes more. That he had to put up an arm to block it. He looks on at you, black veins appeared around your eyes."I am just as powerful as you, I will defeat you. You will not be allowed to take what hope I have left."you tell him.
He backs up from your energy, Lion-O very weak looks on at you. So does Cheetera, Panthro and the others make to see you blazed up. Their eyes widen at the sight.
Mumm-ra, grunts at you as he stands up fully"YOU,dare stand up to me. You dare!"he yells at you.
He gets ready to blast you, but you bet him to it as your energy expands"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"you shot it at him. All of it. It hits him, as he screams from the pain, you kept it up.
"She's doing it!"WilyKit looks on as she smiles.
You thought so as well, as you push on more reaching your limits. But all good things must come to an end. As you had thought your energy engulfed him. You heard his laugh, before you knew it a blast came hitting you hard.
Everyone was shocked, as you knew you felt it go through your torso. You started to fall backwards, your attack stopped. Laying on your side, as you see your father come out he smiles down at you.
"..."he looks at you, you then barely look over at Lion-O. He saw the look as his smile got bigger. He walks over to the prince. As he blast him, as you hear him scream.
"Noooooo!"you yell, as you push yourself up. And before you knew it. You dive yourself over Lion-O as you take on his attack. You take on all of it. Causing blood to be spat up as you, as you dig your nails into the ground. Your father increased his power on his attack. You scream more from the pain, as tears pour down your face from it.
They fall on Lion-O, as he looks at you. He saw the pain you had on your face. His mind flashed back to that evening on what you told him. His eye widen.
"ZAHRA!"he yells for you.
He looks at you, your eyes where open but he saw nothing but emptiness. The pain was so much you passed out already but manged to stay over him to protect him.
From the Lanthern Jaga saw what was happening, with his last bit of powers he expands a huge white light. That makes Mumm-Ra retreat.
Once he was gone, Lion-O looks up at you. Tears where still falling from your eyes but you weren't blinking. He reaches to touch you, but as he does, you fall over onto the ground. He gets up realizing what just happen.
"ZAHRA!"he yells your name. As he picks you up in his arms. The others retrieve the book. Lion-O held you in his arms, as he rocks you. In hopes to wake you up. But got nothing from you. He held you tightly as he could smell your burnt body, he buries his face into your hair, as he tries hard to fight back his tears.
Tygra looks on at you, he wanted to run over to you as well. But he couldn't his brother was holding you now. He just looked at your lifeless body not moving at all.
Lion-O looks at you, when he noticed your eyes lids started to close."ZAHRA! Noooooooooo!"he yells for you. But your eyelids close anyway. Despite the fact he was yelling for you, till he could not see your eyes anymore.
