SACAGAWEA's POV
"What do you horrid people want?" asked Amelia. Putting her hands on her hips, being the tough woman she is.
"Tell me where the other two outsiders are" said Napoleon.
"There are no two other outsiders, this is it." I said, "no. That is not true, there is knight and a mummy as well" explained Napoleon...
A knight...and a mummy...Ahk and Lance...
"You have the expression of realization on your face, perhaps you know them?" he asked.
"You know what I know?" cried Jed from the miniature's box. "You're short, shorty!" he laughed. Napoleon flared his nostrils as the miniatures were cracking up.
"I will release 5 of you. You will help me hunt them down"
"Why is that?" asked Amelia stepping out of the box, looking down at the short man.
"Because," he said tip toeing to reach the same height as Amelia, "the mummy is the reason Kahmunrah did not take over."
"You're from the Smithsonian!" cried Octavius, "You...horrid beast!"
"No wonder you captured us!" said Amelia.
The exhibits from America burt into chatter.
"SILENCE!" he cried.
"I want you," he said pointing to Amelia, "and you" he said pointing at me, "and you" pointing at Attila, "out the box, now"
We obeyed his orders, we needed to find Ahkmenrah and Lancelot, to warn them about Napoleon before he got to them.
"you can pick two more." he said to me.
"válassza a majom ... látom a két apró is felmászott rá." whispered Attila.
(translation: choose the monkey...I see the two tiny ones climbing onto him.)
"Okay" I whispered back.
"I will have Dexter, that is all" I said. Dexter climbed out and onto my shoulder. Jed and Octavius were holding onto his fur, both gave me a thumbs up.
"We will find them," I started, "and when we find them...we will bring them back" I lied. Amelia had her eyes widened, as if she believed me. Attila had a worried look on his face. "Let us start our journey" I said, leading the way to the exit of the storage.
"What?" cried Amelia after we escaped from the French, "we can't give them in!" she said. "Exactly, what were you thinking, woman!" cried Jed, who was still on Dexter.
"Don't worry, we'll warn them and hopefully contact Larry in time to ship us back." I said. Attila nodded and opened the door. Sculptures were crawling, some were store in glass - like how I was stored, and begging to come out. Some lost their minds and were screaming for help.
The pictures on walls were speaking. Some were arguing...many walked around from picture frame to another picture frame.
"Lets pray this does not happen back at home..." said Octavius.
We made our way to an unknown land. Where they had marble as walls. The floor below us were tiled in a pattern. More sculptures were moving. The sounds of their stone clicking rather annoyed me.
We continued on our journey hoping to find Ahkmenrah and Lancelot... Then we heard cries...and sword fighting...
"It must be them! Charge! Run like the wind!"
NICK's POV
"Nick I still think this is not a good idea" said Tilly.
"We did him a favor, he doesn't have to deal with this for 4 hours" I said.
"How do you know you knocked him out for 4 hours?"
"I just...know" I lied.
We came across a door. Both of us shrugged and opened it...the results shocked the both of us...
"RUN!" I cried.
This is the moment where I cry and pee my pants. Because I'm pretty sure it's not just me who is being chased by a tyrannosaurus rex.
"TILLY! WE SHOULD...WE SHOULD TRAIN HIM! LIKE HOW DAD TRAINED REXY!" I cried.
"THIS-ISN'T-REXY!" she panted. "OR TRIXIE! THIS IS...AHHHHHHHH!"
In front of us stood a "Hatcher," a large triceratops. How do I know? This guy has his own sign thats half his sign behind him.
"Tilly...torch out" I said. The torch is the mightiest weapon that ever existed...in human history...who am I kidding a freaking nuclear bomb is.
Behind the triceratops stood...skeletons of humans, cavemen, monkeys...apes...the whole bunch.
"Is it just me...or are there skeletons everywhere?" said Tilly, who was so scared, she was shaking. The two dinosaurs roared. Tilly and I covered out ears.
Above us soared the flying...the kind of dinosaur that can fly. Around us were fossils of who knows what? They're all dead anyway!
A bone landed in front of me...I took the chance and picked it up.
"Who wants to play fetch?" I squeaked. No reaction. "Try throwing the bone" suggested Tilly.
I threw the bone. The whole fossil gang ran towards it.
"RUN!" cried Tilly. But before we knew it, they were back, running after us. Pretty scary to have dead fossils and skeletons RUNNING AFTER YOU! Everywhere we looked there were fossils, it was a hall of doom. T-rexes with heads stuck on a stick, trying to bite you. Tiny dinosaurs that run as fast as light, trying to chew your leg off. I swear Tilly dislocated a baby dino's head.
"You dislocated his head!"
"I had no choice! It's either die or kill!" she cried.
We reached another hall and closed the - thank god they were solid stone, doors. The sound of bones clashing echoed the hall...
"Nick..." said Tilly with a face of horror.
Oh, give me a break. The hall of animals? Or mammals? Are you kidding me?
"Tilly...here's the plan...when you see a gap...RUN THROUGH IT!" I said running past the lions who roared and almost destroyed my Smithsonian uniform that didn't belong to me in the first place.
"HOW ARE THERE NO GUARDS HERE?" cried Tilly, who almost got stomped by an elephant. We saw an exit, and the both of us headed towards it. In a flash of orange and black strips - ORANGE AND BLACK STRIPES!
I was down on the floor with a tiger above me. I reached my torch and clicked the button. A spot of light was shone onto the floor. The tiger released me and went over to it, I shifted the position of the light, soon the big-cats were playing around with it.
"Nick" Tilly whispered. "Make an exit" she said, glancing at the door and then soon back at me.
I let the light guide the lions and tiger, not to mention hyenas to the other side of the room. I switched the torch off and ran out the door.
"Close, close, close, close, close!" I begged as me and Tilly tried to close the heavy door.
thud.
Both of us sank down onto the floor.
"I'm going to need a lot of therapy" said Tilly.
"The nightmare's just started." I said pulling her up.
SACAGAWEA'S POV
When we got there...they must have left.
I went in the room which had a priceless painting in it. The Monalisa.
"Hello," I said softly. The painting smiled. "Have you seen a pharaoh and a knight come across here?" I asked. She nodded. "There was more than just that. There was a witch and a girl with armor, alongside a man in a uniform with a tie." she said.
"Do you realize what this means?" said Amelia with a bright smile. "Ahk and Lance are here, along with Meg and Larry!" she squealed.
"Merci" Amelia said to the painting.
We exited the room, that was more like a hall, I noticed.
"They shouldn't be far if we caught them here." said Octavius, Dexter chirped in agreement.
"Menjünk!" said Attila.
(Translation: Lets go)
MEGERA'S POV
We strolled through the Louvre, have I mentioned how much I hate how we needed to cut through so many places.
For example: Jewelry from Around the World.
Something there did catch my eye though. A golden mask in a glass case, beside them was a gold piece of fabric with a green stain on it...
Ahkmenrah must have seen me staring, he walked over and held me in his arms. "Don't ever run from me like you did before" he said, he kissed my cheek and hugged me tighter.
"It tore my dress" I said.
"Yeah...it did"
"I didn't know that" I chuckled.
I turned to face him and placed a kiss on his lips. There was a slight fear in me...what if the tablet doesn't get fixed? What if 'diversion' meant...parting Ahk from this world and sending him to the underworld or wherever the dead goes...
"I love you, and we'll figure out whats wrong with the tablet"
"You read my mind" I said.
"Don't I always, love"
I smiled and gave him another kiss.
"You know...when you passed out...when we first met, I couldn't take my eyes off you?" He said. I couldn't help but blush. "Or...during my coronation 3000 years ago...that dress you wore was absolutely stunning, jewel." He said.
"You...never told me so I never knew!"
"Well, now you know. And I hope you know how beautiful you are, and how much I love you." He said.
"Let's go, lovebirds" said Lancelot, pulling Ahk away from me. I smiled. Lance really couldn't let Guinevere go...
After a few steps, Lancelot stopped at his tracks. Staring at a tiara or a diadem...a smile appeared on his face.
"What is it, Lance?" asked Larry, who just noticed the three of us stopped to stare at the beautiful piece of jewelry.
"This belonged to her" he said simply. "When she was crowned queen...how did they get this wrong? This does not belong to Queen Elizabeth I, for Merlin's sake!"
