Scene bridge
a"Dammit…"
"The jackal God comes to after a few minutes, recovering from the boy's devastating blow."
a"Jesus… How strong is that guy… I felt like my head almost came off…"
t"Sorry about that, I'm still getting used to my strength…"
a"...!"
"Taiyo walks over to grab his staff, then proceeds to inch closer to the fallen warrior."
t"You're pretty strong, I'll give you that…"
t"Way stronger than any of those demons…"
t"But…"
a"I think you just need a shift in perspective is all…"
a"..."
a"Shut it…"
a"I don't want to hear that from you…"
"Anubis thinks while he lays on the floor."
a"This damn brat…"
a"He's just a child…"
a"How could I let him best me…"
t"You remind me of someone I used to know…"
t"He was loud, obnoxious, arrogant, and always resorted to violence…"
a"..."
t"He wasn't the brightest either…"
a"Why are you…"
t"But he had a good heart…"
t"He was a good boy."
"Taiyo, now standing over Anubis, removes his goggles."
t"I've always been good at reading people…"
t"And if my memories serve me right, then the person I've recalled just now, might have just been you…"
a"Huh…"
a"What are you talking about…?"
t"...?"
t"Are you not aware…"
a"Of what?"
"Taiyo thinks back to the word Anubis had used."
"Outsider."
t"Tell me, who do you think I am?"
a"You're the newly appointed Pharaoh… hand picked by Ra…"
a"I heard during one of the other god's meetings they chose a japanese boy, named Taiyo."
"Taiyo kneels down."
t"And that upset you."
a"Of Course… Egypt should be ruled by one of its own, especially when it's in such a dire state right now.."
a"Like Sekhmet, or Horus…"
t"I see…"
"Taiyo thinks."
t"He must not know…"
t"Anubis…"
t"What exactly is a Pharaoh…"
a"Seriously!? You don't even know that much…!"
a"A Pharaoh is a person who takes the responsibility of defending and representing the masses."
a"To act as a king, imbued by the power of the gods."
a"That's how pharaoh's have operated, they called upon a certain god and that good would imbue their will through them…"
t"I see…"
a"That method is a tired one…"
a"It worked a lot better before…"
a"When the other gods would act as the Pharaohs themselves…"
t"Hmm?"
"Anubis was not sitting up, as the two were eye level while speaking."
a"There was a God, who acted as Pharaoh for a while…"
a"he was the only other one…"
a"Besides Horus, who I would have accepted as king…"
a"But he's been missing for quite some time…"
t"I see…"
"..."
t"You know… when I was brought forth by the gods, they told me something ridiculous…"
t"They said I was a god."
t"Well the reincarnation of one…"
a"!!"
a"Haaa??!"
t"Yea… I figured you didn't know…"
t"Apparently… I'm a god who's been reincarnated over and over…"
t"Until now, I thought it was all just a bunch of bologna."
t"But ever since we started fighting…"
t"I feel like I've started to remember things…"
t"It's still hazy… I only get it in short bursts…"
t"But mostly… I remember a small little puppy…"
a"!!!"
t"He was always following me around…"
t"Whenever I went off somewhere, he'd be trailing right behind me… he'd always bark when someone would get in my way…"
t"I remember a feeling of gratitude… or appreciation…"
t"Anubis…"
t"You've been working hard this whole time haven't you…"
t"Sorry I've been away for so long…"
"Anubis's eyes widened."
"Now without the goggles, The boy could recognize the man's face more clearly."
"His familiar aura from before."
"His scent."
"And his sense of righteousness."
'They were all just like him…"
a"Amun…!"
"Taiyo smiles."
t"Heh…"
t"Well the name Taiyo."
a"Amun!!"
"Anubis jumps over to the brown-haired boy and holds him in a bone crushing hug."
a"Amun! Boss!"
a"You're here! You're really here!!!"
"Taiyo looks both surprised and happy."
t"Boss?"
a"Hai!"
a"You're the Boss!"
a"The only God who's ever led our land during my time!"
a"Amun! The God of Wind, the dawning Sun, The patron of Thebes, my Boss!"
t"Ahh…"
"Taiyo can see the boy's tail wagging under his back."
t"This is a pretty grand switch up…"
"The two now sit side by side in front of the parapets of the bridge."
a"Boss Boss! Tell me, when did you reincarnate, what are you doing here, why are you in a Japanese body!?"
t"Ehhh, how about one question at a time…"
"Taiyo holds his crook to the side as he and the dark good reconnect."
a"Okay…"
a"Well how did you end up here?"
t"It's a long story…"
"After a moment, Taiyo finishes telling Anubis the events that led him here…"
a"I see… so this must be like your tenth reincarnation then…"
a"That sucks Boss."
t"About that, why are you now calling me Boss?"
a"Ehh? What do you mean Boss?"
a"As a jackal, I follow the head of the pack."
a"Within our pantheon, I'm part of a certain group of gods unrestricted by the Oath to interfere with humanity."
a"Out of all of us, only those in the 5th generation are unbounded by the oath."
a"And thus, I'm obligated to follow the leader of our pack."
a"And that's you."
t"Me…!?"
"Taiyo thinks, what could he have done in his past life to set himself as the leader."
a"So you haven't been able to regain your memories yet either…"
a"I get that…"
a"Regaining your memories is the hardest part of reincarnating…"
a"It's not something that gets easier… I understand what you're going through Boss…"
t"Yea…."
t"So what about you…"
a"Hmm?"
t"I mean… You look no older than me… And From what I can almost remember, you were like an actual Jackal before…"
a"Ohh!!!"
a"That's pretty complicative… You want the long version or the short version?"
"Taiyo looks over at the doors, feeling Bastet might need more time."
t"Give me the long version."
a"Long ago... Before time had a name…"
t"Give me the short version."
a"Oh, I've sort of been reincarnating too…"
t"Ehh?? Seriously!"
a"Hehehe! Of Course!"
a"Afterall, who do you think created the practice for preserving the soul for reincarnation!"
t"That was you!"
a"Yep!"
a"Well technically my mother, but I'm the one who mastered it!"
t"Oh!"
a"I'm the one who originally used mummification on you too!"
a"That way you reincarnate into the same body every time!"
t"Seriously… that's incredible.."
"Anubis brings a finger to his nose."
a"Hehe…! Well it's to be expected, I am the god of Mummification as well!"
a"But do feel free to praise me more, Boss!"
t"Heh…"
a"Anyways, after I performed mummification on your body, it preserved your soul during your constant reincarnation events."
a"Not long after that, I had a run with a demon and almost died…"
a"So I used mummification on myself!"
t"Seriously!?"
t"That's pretty insane…"
a"Heheeh!"
a"I've only reincarnated a few times, but the more I do, my body becomes more human and human."
a"I thought it's be best to follow you on your path."
t"I see…"
t"Well I guess it's good that you were able to retain your memories throughout all that."
a"Yea Yea Yea!"
a"No!"
a"I didn't preserve my memories."
t"Ehh!"
a "I told you, regaining memories is hard."
a"Everytime I reincarnated I wouldn't get them back for at least 15 years."
a"I would simply live out my life until I remembered who I really was…"
a"By the time I regained my senses, you had already died, so I never got to see you…"
t"Anubis…"
t"That's crazy…"
a"Yea I no it's pretty wild…"
a"Once I remembered I'd simply continue my duty on preserving lost souls."
a"keeping the death count to a minimum…"
a"But I gotta tell you Boss."
a"Humans are really scary…"
a"They cause way more death than any demon ever could…"
a"It's been killing my morals over the years…"
t"..."
"The climate has gone to shit, the lands covered in sand, people are starving, diseases and viruses are running a mock…"
a"Even without demons, the world will probably eat itself whole…"
t"..."
a"But now…"
a"Now we got you Boss!"
a"And you have the Bennu with you!"
a"Once we get the scarab your resurrection will be complete!"
t"Ehh? Scarab!?"
t"How do you know…"
a"Oh yea, me and Giri giri were here searching for it…"
a"We heard of travelers that went through this labyrinth in search of the scarab, it's most likely somewhere deep within there."
t"Hah… Seriously…"
t"All that tomb raiding was for nothing…"
t"Wait, why were you looking for it."
a"Sekhmet wanted it."
a"The scarab is said to hold unfathomable power…"
a"Sekhmet planned on absorbing it to take down the Spider."
t"Spider?"
a"A greater demon that's been attacking this side of Egypt."
t"I see… Well if it's anything like the Scorpion one I fought then it shouldn't be any problem."
a"Hehehe I expect no less from you, Boss!"
a"No demon could ever compete with your dominating power!"
t"Thanks…"
a"Well, do you want to go check in on them now…"
t"Let's give them a bit more…"
t"It's been bothering her this whole time, so I want Basteto to be able to do makeup with her sister on her own…"
t"Then we will figure out this whole spider thing together…"
a"Dang… even after all this time, you and Bast are inseparable huh…"
t"...!"
t"What do you mean?"
a"Ehh? You dont no…"
a"Well I guess you wouldn't…"
t"Hhmm?"
t"Me and Basteto…"
t"How were we…"
a"Well, I think that's something you'll have to ask her yourself, Boss…"
t"Hmmm…."
"Suddenly they hear a large explosion being emitted within the labyrinth…"
"!!!"
t"What was that!"
a"I don't…!!"
"A big pile of rocks comed burrowing down, covering the entrance."
"The two are now exiled from entering the labyrinth."
t"What the hell is going on…!"
a"Dammit!"
t"Basteto…!"
"Inside the labyrinth, Sekhmet and Bastet view silhouettes of a being with multiple arms."
"Once the smoke clears, its figure emerges as a half humanoid/tarantula hybrid."
b"Sister… that's it!"
sk"Stay back!"
tr"Nyut Nyut Nyut!"
tr"I see you've finally tracked down my location!"
"The black figure says, its multiple red eyes shine as they look over at the two women."
tr"The lioness goddess, come to face me again…"
tr"things won't be as easy for you as last time…!"
tr"And another…"
"The demon looks over at Bastet."
b"Bastard… you're the one who hurt my sister!"
tr"Nyet Nyet, so another Goddess huh?"
tr"No matter, I'll quickly dispose of you both and continue on my mission!"
"Sekhmet braces herself, before lunging forward, attempting to strike at the demon. It dodges her attack, and spits a spider web to the area of her landing."
"This catches her foot, making her unable to move."
sh"Tch!"
"Bastet From behind tries to shoot a fireball at its back."
"It does no damage upon impact."
"Turning over to look at her, the demon quickly purses the dress head and grabs her by the neck."
b"Nyaaaeeh!"
tr"Nyet Nyet, silly little girl… you're a weak one…aren't you…"
b"Chhh… crr… I… I'm not…!"
tr"Nyet nyte!"
tr"Yes you are!"
sk"Let go…!"
Turning over to look at Sekhmet while still holding up Bastet, the demon taunts."
tr"Hoo~ Or what!?"
sk"Grrrrr!!!"
"Sekhmet's eyes are fuming, her rage starts to rise."
b"No… this is bad…"
b"if my sister's rage gets out of control again…"
tr"Worthless gods, you caused me a lot of trouble stopping me from invoking chaos on those villagers."
tr"Time for a little payback…"
tr"Let's see if you can break through my webbing before I snap your sister's neck!"
"Bastet's eyes grow hazy as she struggles to keep them open."
"She starts thinking in her fleeting consciousness…"
b"No… Please…"
b"Amun…"
"Upon calling out his name, the ceiling of the labyrinth starts to burst open."
"Rocks and boulders explode out as two figures can be seen emerging from the flying rubble."
"Taiyo and Anubis fly down to the ground, after burrowing their way through the roof of the hidden tomb."
"Looking directly at the Spider holding Bastet by her neck, Taiyo lunges forward in their direction."
"Using his staff, he strikes down the spider's stretched out hand, and slices it off."
tr"Gahhh!"
"Following that attack, Anubis lets out a black fireball towards the demon, pushing him back."
"With that, Sekhmet snaps through the webbing, lunging at the demon while he's off guard and landing a powerful kick to its torso, sending him longing across the maps and into the wall."
"Recovering quickly, Taiyo holds his arms out to catch Bastet in his hands."
b"...!"
"He looks down at her form with a concerned look."
"All the while, flashes of subtle memories start to flash in his head."
t"Basteto…!"
t"Are you okay!?"
b"A…mun!?"
t"Yes, it's me… I'm here…!"
b"When did you… how…"
Bastet recollects the recent events."
"She then takes into account their current position, and starts blushing profusely."
b"Eheheh! Why are you holding me!!!"
t"Huh? Oh sorry."
"Taiyo carefully puts her down, allowing her to face him."
t"I'm sorry, I never should have let you go in alone…"
b"Eh… No Amun you…"
sk"Sister!"
"Sekhmet pushes Taiyo out the way in a cartoonish manner."
sk"Your okay…"
"Sekhmet says, embracing her sister tightly."
b"Sekhmet…!"
"Bastet feels how warm her sister's arms are around her neck, feeling her hold her close."
b"It's okay, Im okay…"
"Bastet says, hugging her sister back."
"Taiyo recovers from the push and looks at the scene before him."
t"Looks like they've made up…"
a"Hehehe, it's as expected."
a"Gir giri is nothing but a softy at heart…"
"Sekhmet's eyes momentarily move to the goggle-eyed boy."
b"That's him sister…"
sk"Amun…"
"Interrupting the scene, the spider demon arises from the debris."
tr"DAMN YOU!"
tr"Incolent little pests…!"
tr"Why do you keep getting in my way…!"
"Taiyo turns his attention over at the demon."
t"This guy… he looks like the scorpion."
tr"Hoo~ You know my brother?"
t"Brother…"
"Yes, the Scorpion, he went out in the western desert in search of the scarab, while I, the Spider, searched the east…"
"If you encountered him, then that'd mean…"
t"I killed him."
tr"!!!"
tr"I see…"
"Taiyo grips his staff, preparing for the upcoming retaliation"
tr"Heheahahaha!!!!"
tr"Serves that weakling right, he was but a fool!"
t"Kissama…"
tr"Hehehe… no matter…"
tr"Don't think for a moment just cause you got lucky with him you'll be able to defeat me…!"
tr"My power far surpassed his!"
tr"I'll make quick work of you a lot, then I'll find the scarab, and attain the ultimate power!!!"
t"That's not going to happen!"
b"Right! We won't let you have your way!"
a"Yea… if anyones getting that scarab it's going to be the Boss!"
sk"We'll kill you."
tr"Damn pest… who do you think you are…"
"...!"
t"We're Super Heroes!"
a"Eh?"
sk"?"
t"We fight to defend the innocent, and purge evil…"
"Taiyo smiles looking over at the other two."
t"My hunch was right before…"
t"You guys aren't bad people at all…"
t"You came to these deserts for the sole purpose of taking this guy down…"
t"That makes you… us, heroes."
a"Oh… I like the way you think, Boss!"
sk"Umu."
b"Nyeheheh… I guess that's one way to put it…"
b"Let's do it, Amun!"
t"Right!"
Show ennead
"The Bennu, the Cat, the Jackal, and the Lioness."
"The four now stand firmly in a line together, prepared to defend Egypt from this threat by any means necessary."
"After the drop of a pebble, the battle had begun."
"Taiyo lunges first, bringing the weight of his crook down to the spider's form."
"The demon dodges, before moving back and evading an incoming kick from Sekhmet."
"Taiyo and Sekhmet use their combat knowledge to land several blows back and forth to the spider."
tr"Kaaaaa!!!"
"The spider attempts to trap the two by shooting its webs at them, which causes Taiyo to be wrapped around them."
t"What the!!"
"Sekhmet dodges the web, seeing the move before."
"She now barrates the demon with several powerful blows."
"The demon in retaliation, seeps its claws into the girl's form, eliciting wounds all over."
b"Sister!!"
"Taiyo bursts out of the webs, and dashes downward, his crook abandoned."
t"Haaaa!!!"
t"Taiyo jumps forward, punching the demon with all his might."
"Sekhmet, who jumped back, shines a pink hue as Bastet heals her from afar."
sk"Sister!"
"Taiyo grabs the demon's fists, as they stay locked in a standstill."
tr"Dammit… If it was just the lioness… this would be playing out real differently!"
tr"You… you're not like her, or that Jackal…"
tr"Your power… it's heretical!"
"Taiyo grips the fists in his hands, holding a stern expression."
tr"Tell me, did you enjoy killing us Demons, Killing my brother!"
t"You're wrong!"
"Breaking their stale might, Taiyo lands several blows on the demon's body."
t"You hurt, you harm, and Kill for no purpose!"
t"I fight… to prevent you from taking anything else from us!"
"Punching the demon away, it shoots a large shot of Webs to his direction."
"Suddenly a boulder rises from the ground, stopping the incoming attack."
"Taiyo looks over at Sekhmet who nods."
tr"What the…!"
"It then gets hit by another rising rock from behind, pushing him in Taiyo's direction."
"Quickly, he summons his crook, and manages to get it around the demon's neck, spinning him around, and then throwing him in the air."
tr"Kraaaah!!!"
"Sekhmet then jumps in the air, and lands a powerful kick up to the demon's back, sending him the opposite direction."
tr"Kaaaaaahh!!"
"From afar, Anubis and Bastet both charge a powerful fireball, shooting it directly at the demon."
tr"Krrraaaaaaahhhhh!!"
"A big explosion ensues, as the demon presumably bursts into nothing."
b"We did it!"
a"Hahaha! Of Course we did!"
"Taiyo watches as the demon's ashes rain down."
t"That was close…"
pause
"His eyes then feel the gaze of another hovering over him."
"Looking down, he meets the meek expression of Sekhmet, her golden eyes peering at him."
"Taiyo gulps, a subtle part of him feeling he should be in fear of the Goddess, and her infamous rage."
t"Uhm…"
"Sekhmet then suddenly bows her head."
sk"Pharaoh!"
t"!!"
sk"Sekhmet acted out of line…"
sk"Sekhmet didn't mean to insult you…"
sk"Sekhmet begs for your forgiveness.."
t"...!"
t"Sekhmeto…"
"Taiyo looks at the blonde's bowing form."
"He expected her to be much more angry and abrasive…"
"This was without a doubt a much more stark contrast."
t"It's okay… really…"
t"I'm just glad everything worked out…"
"Sekhmet perks up, looking up at the boy now…"
"Taiyo and her make eye contact, and thus, a flash of memories start coursing through the boy."
"Moments of a cute lioness sleeping soundly while others fought around her."
"These figures seem to be a green man and an ibis headed man."
"Between them was the small lion, sleeping soundly."
"Being in peace while surrounded by familiarity."
t"Listen… my head has been kind of a mess lately…"
t"With everything that's been getting thrown at me alongside meeting all of you…"
t"It's been messing with my way of thinking…"
sk"??"
t"But…"
t"For the time being, I'm on a mission to take out any blight infesting these deserts…"
t"So until that's resolved…"
t"I'd appreciate your help, Sekhmeto…"
"Her eyes light up."
"Her strength was given a purpose."
"To fight against evil, to use her power, to protect, the opposite of what her father created her for…"
sk"Hai…"
sk"Boss!"
t"You too…"
sk"??"
a"Oi!! Boss!"
"Anubis and Bastet walk forward to the pair."
b"We were able to take out another great demon, together!"
t"Yea…!"
"Taiyo looks at Bastet, looking his eyes on her as he studies her complexion."
"Ever since they've arrived to this place, memories have begun flashing in his mind upon certain interactions."
"He waited to see if anything involving Bastet would elicit a response, but nothing came."
b"Nya?""
b"Whatcha staring at Amun?"
t"Eh…!"
t"it's nothing…"
b"Bastet looks up around the labyrinth."
b"That demon, and the other one too… they were both searching for the scarab…"
a"Seriously… How the hell did two demons find out about that thing…"
t"No idea…"
"Taiyo's eye's roam the room as he thinks of their next steps."
t"In any case, that scarab should be here somewhere right?"
t"Why don't we make our way through this labyrinth and try to find it…"
b"Haaa! Really!!"
t"Yea… it's better safe in our hands then some demons…"
b"Right!"
b"Come on Sister, let's get moving!"
s"Wooo…!"
"Sekhmet says, walking alongside Bastet as the two go on the nearest path."
a"Hehehe let's get to Tomb Raiding then, like Indiana Jones."
t"You know Indiana Jones!?"
a"Ehh… Of Course…"
a"I've watched plenty of movies growing up, especially the classics…"
t"Seriously…"
"Taiyo was surprised, Bastet for the most part was unaware of any pop-culture phenomenons."
t"What else have you seen…?"
a"Hmm well I've seen Rocky…"
t"Star wars?"
a"Of Course I've seen Star wars!"
t"Terminator?"
a"I'll Be Back!"
t"Hahaha!"
t"What about anime!?"
a"Hehehe! Of course I have!"
a"I've consumed more trash, summoned to another word isekai than I can count!"
t"Hahahaha!!"
b"What are those two talking about back there…?"
sk"Mmhm."
"Bastet looks back at the two with a peculiar expression, which quickly switches to a warm one upon seeing Amun enjoying his talk with Anubis."
"Sekhmet notices her sister's eyes shift, but decides to stay quiet as they walk through the tomb."
"Taiyo takes the long crook in his hand, and snaps it into two, it magically turns back into the smaller crook and flail he carries."
"Anubis's eyes sparkle as Taiyo places them on his back."
a"Woooaahh!! I didn't know you could use the crook and flail like that Boss!"
t"Hmm? Really…"
a"All the Pharaohs before only used them separately, not together like that!"
t"Oh…"
t"Well to be honest that's my first time actually using it like this too…"
t"I kind of just figured it out on the way here…"
t"Sobek did keep saying they're supposed to be used in unison…"
t"When I held them together, it suddenly just clicked…"
b"Amun didn't even use them when he fought the Scorpion demon."
a"Seriously?"
a"Then how did you take it down?"
b"Nyehe… with his big muscles~"
a"Ehh?"
b"You should have seen him!"
b"He went, Pow!"
b"Bam!"
b"Boom!"
"Bastet says, expressing several different action poses."
a"Cool! So cool!!"
a"Taking down a greater demon with your fists alone, I wish I could've seen it."
b"Hehee.. It was super cool!"
t"Hehe… I guess…"
"The group continue their walk through the labyrinth, sparking more conversations."
a"So Boss… how are things going with you and you know who…"
"Anubis notably lowers his voice."
t"??"
t"You mean Basteto…"
a"Yes! Who else…"
t"I can't say I know what you mean…"
'
a"Oi Boss! You don't gotta act all dense with me!!"
a"I see the way she looks at you…"
a"Not to mention how excited she was when we heard you were returning to Egypt…"
t"Basteto was…"
"Taiyo thinks back to his time with her, Basteto seemed pretty confined back when they were in the pyramid, it was only when they sailed off to the desert that the two really began to bond more."
t"He looks down to the red haired girl who in turn looks back at feeling eyes fall on her, their sudden eye-contact causes her to blush."
t"Still no memories…"
a"Eh…"
t"Nothing…"
"Taiyo stays quiet, as he thinks about Bastet a bit more…"
t"Basteto… what exactly do i feel about her…"
a"Oi!! What's that up ahead!"
"Anubis runs up, past Taiyo taking the place of Sekhmet up ahead as he looks at what seems to be broken relics of the Egyptian Past…"
a"So cool!"
b"Ehh… they're just broken statues…"
b"No need to get all excited you big mut."
a"Haa! Big talk coming from such a small little kitty."
b"Haaa!!!"
b"Hmph…"
b"You're still a jerk as ever, stupid Anubis…"
a"And you're still as much of a brat as ever, Bast…"
b"Haa!"
b"What your deal!"
b"You've been such a jerk, back on the bride you said some really mean things!"
a"Yea… I guess so…"
a"I'm sorry about that, Bast…"
b"...!"
a"I didn't want you to get in Girigiri's way…"
a"I was just trying to look out for her…"
a"I know how distracted she gets when people she cares for are around…"
b"..."
"Bastet punches the jackal on his arm."
a"Hey! What was that for!!"
b"There, now we're even!"
a"Gah… such a damn brat…"
b"Better to be a brat than a big mutt with bricks for brains!"
a"Haaa!!!!"
b"Bleeegghh!!"
t"Kiiiiiiiis!"
sk"Smooch smooch."
b"GROSS!"
"Sekhmet and Taiyo tease from the back, as the two watch the dog and cat bicker as they walk forward."
t"Those two don't get along huh…"
sk"No."
t"Hehehe…"
"Taiyo looks over at Sekhmet."
"The lioness goddess, the twin sister of Bastet."
"Upon appearance, no one would guess they were twins, let alone sisters…"
"Her complexion was muted and gloomy, her skin a tan brown, blonde hair like a lion."
"And her bust was notably way larger than her sister's…"
"Possibly an H-cup."
"Compared to Bastet's B-cup…"
"Taiyo suddenly feels Bastets eyes on him again."
"Looking up, she is clearly staring daggers at the boy."
"Taiyo quickly feigns ignorance, whistling to himself."
sk"She missed you."
t"...!"
sk"Sister…"
sk"She missed you…"
t"..."
t"I see…"
sk"A lot."
t"..."
sk"Sekhmet glad to see her… so cheery… happy…"
t"I figured she was always like that…"
sk"That's true…"
sk"But…"
sk"It's different, when she's with you…"
"The two share a silence for a moment, before Sekhmet asks a question."
sk"You don't want to be Pharaoh?"
t"!!"
t"Where's this coming from…"
sk"Don't no…"
t"..."
sk"..."
t"I don't like that these demons are invading…"
t"I want to put an end to it…"
t"After that…"
sk"After…?"
t"I don't really know what'll happen after…"
sk"I see…"
"..."
sk"Boss…"
t"Yea…"
sk"Are you strong?"
t"...!"
"Taiyo thinks of the recent events, the way he crushed demons with his bare hands. How he's able to leap to the sky."
t"I guess so…"
sk"Umu…"
sk"Sekhmet don't care if you become Pharaoh…"
sk"Father deemed you worthy…"
sk""So Sekhmet will follow your lead…."
sk"But…"
t"...?"
sk"Prove to Sekhmet you're strong…"
t"You want me to prove… my strength?"
"Sekhmet nods."
sk"If not to become Pharaoh…"
sk"Then to stand beside her…"
"Sekhmet says, referencing her sister."
t"..."
t"Sekhmeto…"
sk"Sekhmet won't hand over her sister without a fight…"
sk"Umu!"
"Sekhmets looks forward, as the two walk in silence."
"After checking out several sections of the labyrinth, the team decided to call it quotes."
t"Alright, I think it's best we call it quotes for today, it's getting pretty late…"
b"Yes I agree, plus we need to return those villagers back home!"
"Taiyo and Bast look over to the other two."
a"Oh yeah... Let's go get them then…"
"The group leaves the labyrinths with a plan to return."
"Heading to a secluded area of the canyons, our newly formed group make their way through the bridge."
a"Lets see, I can smell them just up here…"
"Anubis says, as they reach a confined place in the rock complex."
t"Why did you take these people again…"
a"Eh…? We just wanted their help finding the scarab, they're the ones who said they saw it near here so…"
t"Still, you shouldnt take anyone against their will, that's really bad."
a"Hey don't look at me! I was just following Sekhmet's orders."
t"That's no excuse, you're a grown man, you can make your own decisions."
t"Next time, try to get Sekhmet to ease up, don't just mindlessly follow along with her decisions…"
a"R-right…"
a"Sorry Boss…"
t"And you…"
t"When we get back to the village, you better be ready to apologize!"'
sk"!!"
t"You caused a lot of people trouble, I wouldn't be surprised if those people don't forgive you…"
sk"Umu…"
"Sekhmet pouts."
b"Nyehe, Amun can be so Bossy~"
t"Haaaa!!!"
t"Don't think I forgot about you!"
b"Nya!"
b"W-w-w-what did I do!"
t"You think I don't no…."
b"!!!"
t"You ate all the snacks I hid in the boat!"
t"Right before we set off I checked and they're all gone!"
b"Nyaa!!!"
t"I told you to pack your own food back in Cairo, and yet you ate all of mine!"
b"Eto…!"
b"Sorry!"
t"Tch."
t"Now I have to pack some more food for the trip back, and this time, you're paying for your own."
b"Eeeeehhhhh!!!!"
b"B-b-b-but!"
t"No Buts!"
b"Poo~"
"Bastet pouts alongside her sister."
"The group make their way to the villagers, all sitting around in a circle, surrounded by several lions and Jackals."
t"!!"
"Taiyo looked at the scene, no one seemed to be scared or distressed with all the wild animals around."
"Some kids were sleeping on top of the lions, with another getting their cheeks licked by one, the others were simply conversing and enjoying each other's company, petting the Jackals here and there."
x"Hoo! Lady Sekhmet and Sir Anubis have returned."
"The crowd looks over the arriving group, releasing sounds of welcome."
a"Oi, hope you guys have been treating our guests with respect."
"Anubis says, talking to his Jakels, who in turn bark at their master."
"They walk closer to the group of 10-ish people. Bastet runs up to some big kitties and starts scruffing their cheeks, Sekhemets walks up to another crowd of what seemed to be male lions."
"She gives them a nod, in which they nod in return."
x"Lady Sekhmet, are you done with your mission, are we able to return now?"
"Sekhmet turns her head and nods."
sk"Umu."
"The crown releases sounds of relief, and they all prepare to make their safe exit out of these canyons."
"One of the little kids ran up to Taiyo, poking his crook."
x"Mister! What's this…"
t"Hmm, it's a crook, it's used to handle livestock."
x"Ehhh, are you a farmer?"
t"No."
x"Then why do you have that?"
t"To beat up demons…"
x"Wooah, cool!"
t"Thanks, alright everyone, let's head on out of here!"
x"Okay!"
"Elsewhere, a demon can be seen crawling through the terrain."
"The spider demon, which was believed to be defeated, was still alive."
"During the explosion, it was able to shed its old skin. Tarantulas shed their exoskeletons in a process known as molting. "
"The demon could be seen growing, evolving into a new form."
"Its malice and hatred growing, as it sets its anger towards the new group of gods in his way."
kr"GrrrrrhHhrhejdw!#@$%^&*!!!!!"
