Scene spider lair
"Within the canyon, The Spider demon, SUPAIDA, went through a rigid metamorphosis, its body now more durable, with black spikes surrounding its body."
"It furiously brought its fist down onto Anubis, sending him flying across the platform."
a"Gaaahhh!!!"
b"Anubis!"
"Bastet says, running to his direction in an attempt to heal him."
"The demon however, gets in her way and attempts to strike at her."
"sk"Grrh!"
'Sekhmet jumps in between them, blocking the demon's blow and pushing Bastet out the way."
b"Sister!"
"The Goddess and the demon go neck in neck, trading blow after blow."
tr"!@#$@%^&!!!"
sk"Grr!!"
"Sekhmet seems to be getting the upper hand, but then the demon manages to sink its long teeth into her."
b"Sister!"
"The Spider demon is successfully able to inject its venom into the war goddess."
sk"!!"
"This causes Sekhmet to stop moving temporarily, her skin growing dark purple patches as the venom courses her body."
tr"!@#@#@@@@~@@!!"
"The demon lunges at the immobilized woman, striking her in the stomach and sending her across the map."
"Anubis then appears from behind, charging a black flame attack."
a"Take this!!"
"Anubis shoots his blast, but to his surprise, it has little to no effect on Supaida."
a"What the…!"
"The demon then jumps and injects its venom into the Jackal."
a"Kaaaahh!"
b"No… how are we supposed to…"
"The demon then sets its eyes on the red head."
tr"#@$%$@#!%^&... He won't come…"
b"!!"
tr"!@#$%% I made sure of it!@#$%^$.!"
b"What Are you talking about…!"
tr"That boy… right now… my army of 100 demons should have ambushed him by now…!"
b"!!"
tr"He'll never make it here in time!!"
tr"You will all die in this desert, and then the scarab's power will be mine!"
"The demon says, lunging at Bastet's direction, she in turn puts up a pink shield, holding it off momentarily…"
b"No… this can't be… Amun!!"
"Taiyo sinks."
"Submerged in darkness, the demons had completely taken over his form."
"He laid unconscious in the middle of the black void, no sound, no light, and no hope could reach the young boy."
"?""Sh…"
"?""Shin…!"
t"....!"
"?""Get up… Shin…!"
t"...!?"
t"Wendy…"
"Taiyo, somehow… starts to hear the voice of his big sister…"
t"Nee-san…"
w"You can't stop…"
w"You can't give up…"
w"Not now…!"
t"Wendy… I can't…"
t"I'm not strong enough…"
t"I can't do anything…"
t"Not for them… not for myself…"
t"Not for Basteto…"
t"I'm sorry…"
t"I know I promised you…"
t"I'd become… a hero…"
t"But I can't do it…"
t"I'm not as strong as you…"
w"..."
w"No, you're not…"
w"You're stronger…"
t"...!"
w"Shin…"
w"You haven't given up yet…"
w"I know you…"
w"You're too stubborn to just give up!"
t"Wendy…"
w"Dont give up!"
w"Your Nee-san is rooting for you!"
t"Nee-san!"
"Taiyo awakes, still submerged in the chaos, he attempts to rise up to the light."
"His hand is able to break through, it reaches the sun's radiance, illuminating his exposed hand."
"Taiyo feels his magic start to stir up, his strength returning."
"His goggled covered face holds an unyielding rage, his teeth grit, as he starts to pull himself out of the madness."
th"Sir… Do you see him."
r"Yes, quite a gruesome event he's found himself in."
th"Yes, quite gruesome indeed."
r"This is the first of many Trails this boy must overcome."
r"Sooner rather than later, Amun will have to relearn…"
r"What it mean… to be a God…"
"Ra and Thot watch through a magical apperasion, the event that Taiyo has befell in."
r"A God must be ruthless… "
"In his words Taiyo grabs a demon's head and crushes it."
r"He must be fearless…"
"Taiyo grabs another demon and lunges across the map, its body burst onto another group of demons."
r"A god must be powerful…"
r"And use that power… Without mercy!"
r"There is no room for Kindness… for Hesitation!"
"Taiuyo starts to rage, his form coated in blood as he strikes through the horde of demons."
t"KAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!"
"Blood splatters all around the demolished canyon, Demon's guts are flying around, and Taiyo unleashes the full force of his Rage."
"His rage in the demon's, his rage in the God's, his rage in himself."
"He allows it all to be unleashed right here and now."
"Every punch, every kick, is filled with anger and rage, skulls shatter, torsho's are ripped in half, arms are ripped off, Taiyo grows more brutal with each passing second."
"During the onslaught, visions and flashes start to course the boy's mind."
"Pictures of a small redhead girl infest his mind."
"A short girl, with red bangs, she's looking over at him."
"The Nile river sat between them , as they stared at each other across the water."
"She waved at him."
"And he waved back."
t"Basteto…"
"The color red clouds the boy's vision."
"He then sees the red haired child holding his hand as she leads forward."
b"Come on Amun!"
t"Basteto…!"
"His vision is clouded by crimson."
"The last vision he sees is the red haired girl cryIng down to his face as she holds him."
b"Don't leave me… Amun!"
t"BASTETO!!"
"After minutes go by, Taiyo stands alone, his form covered in blood, as he stands on a canvas painted in crimson."
"He can be heard gasping and hyperventilating, exhausted by his recent slaughter."
"Red"
"So much red."
"All 100 demons have been slaughtered by his fists alone."
"He then looks around, for the closest vanishing point, trying to get a sense of where the others might have ended up."
t"Red."
"All the red around him, triggers a reaction in the young boy."
"Not one of scarceness or of fear, but one of Protection."
t"Basteto…!"
"He's able to pick up on another demon's aura, this one being much different then the lesser demon's he had just vanquished."
"He tightens his muscles, presses down on the ground, and then leaps into the air, almost as if he's flying, as he heads in the direction of the demon."
"Back in the open Labyrinth, Bastet, Sekhmet, and, Anubis can be seen held up together in spider webs, shaped like cocoons."
"The demon holds the three, trapped in its web."
tr"!@#$%^&*!!!!!"
b"The group have all been poisoned by its venom, Bastet being the only one with the power to fight it off due to her divine protection."
"But in the state she is in, she is unable to help the other two, who are slowly losing their lifeforce due to said venom."
b"No… Everyone…"
"Bastet eyes water as she looks at her friend and her sister."
sk"S-sister…!"
a"Bast…"
tr"!@#E@$%^&*(W@#$%"
"Bastet feels her tears start to form, as she looks at the demonic entity approaching them."
"She speculates it plans to consume them like vermin, which is why it hasn't killed them yet."
"Once the patient takes its full effect,they will all be susceptible to the demon's appetite."
b"No… what do we do.."
b"How can we…!"
"Bastet thinks of Amun."
b"Amun…!"
b"Please be okay…"
b"Those demons… they couldn't have defeated you…"
b"I won't believe it…"
"Bastet starts crying, for even if Taiyo wasn't dead, she couldn't find it in her heart to believe he would save them not after the fight they just had."
b"Amun…"
b"If only… I could apologize…"
b"For what I did…"
b"I…"
b"I wish I could see you again…!"
b"Amun…"
b"My… Pharaoh…"
"The demon approaches Bastet, its large mouth opens wide as it inches closer to the girl's form."
tr"#!@$%^&GRaahhhh#$%^&"
"The demon attempted to consume the young woman, until…"
b"!!"
b"Amun!"
"The room shifts, as a presence is felt up above…"
t"!!!"
"They all look up, to the form of a boy looking down on them."
"Covered in blood, he breathes as if he's just finished running a marathon."
"He jumps down to the ground, standing firm on his feat."
"The demon looks back at the boy, preparing for him to make his move."
tr"#$@%^YOU!!@#$%^&"
tr"How did you get through them all!!@#$%"
"Taiyo is mute, he stands before the event, seeing everyone injured and captured. A large array of webs surrounds the bleak lair."
"His teeth grit, his hand reaches back for his crook and flail, which he quickly combines together."
"tr"No matter…"
tr"One more makes no difference…!"
tr"Very soon… you will meet the same fate as your friends!"
"The demon says, spitting a shot of its venom at the boy's direction."
"But before the venom could reach, Taiyo's form quickly vanishes."
tr"What the…!"
"Suddenly, the round crook makes its way around the demon's neck, its head being forced forward to be met with Taiyo's pissed off expression."
t"Kissama…!"
"Taiyo's is enraged."
"Gripping the crook, he twirls the demon down, spinning it across the map."
tr"Gahhhh!!!"
t"!!!"
"Bracing itself, the demon regains its composure, looking back at the blood stained man."
"Taiyo steps forward, the ground breaks upon his forwardness, lunging forward to attack the demon."
"He swings the crook around, trying to strike at the demon,which it evades."
tr"Such ferocity.. Such anger…!"
t"Grgrhrhrhh!"
"Taiyo grumbles, the three watch in awe as he tries to take the demon's head."
a"No… he won't win like that…"
a"Boss!
sk"Umu…"
b"He's right…"
b"If raw power was enough, then sister would have had no problem…!"
b"Amun!"
"Taiyo starts landing blows, but the demon's hard exterior proved to be durable enough to withstand the boy's blows."
'Taiyo see's this, taking a moment to step back."
t"!!"
b"Amun…!"
tr"Try as you might… but you won't be able to defeat me like you did those other demons…"
"Taiyo braces himself, calming himself down from the stimulation of the recent events."
"The room is filled with silence, as the onlookers watch the two face off in a stare off."
"Taiyo, in a sudden move, drops the crook on the floor."
tr"!@#"
"He then slowly reaches behind his belt, for a black dagger."
"His arm grasps the handle, holding it within its sheath."
"A sweet mark drops on the boy's face, as he starts to recall a recent memory."
s"Alright, let's see what else you can take."
"Taiyo and Sobek stand within an old Egyptian armory, with sets of armor and weapons covering the room."
t"Eh? I don't really think I need any of this stuff."
"Taiyo thinks, the clothing he wore was already oven for durability, not to mention his body was probably stronger than any alloy within here, so a sword or any weapon of such kind would be pointless."
s"These aren't just simple weapons, these are divine arsenals."
s"Weapons created by Ptah, the God of craftsmanship."
s"By his hand were all of the greatest weapons in history created."
s"Like Mihjolnir, or Excalibur."
t"Seriously!?"
s"Yes, Ptah had created these weapons in the event a pharaoh would need one…"
s"I encourage you to pick one of these divine weapons before you set out on your journey."
t"Okay…"
"Taiyo looks around the room for anything that peaks his interest."
t"None of these looks that eventful…"
"Taiyo thinks, before his eyes fall upon a small black dagger."
t"What about that…?"
"Sobek looks over to what the boy was referring to."
s"That…"
"Taiyo hears the hesitation in the crocodile's voice."
t"Eh? Any reason why not?"
s"That blade is called Hatspuchet."
s"It was a black dagger created by Ptah at the request of Horus…"
t"??"
t"And…?"
s"That blade was imbued with a certain spell."
s'A spell bounded by 'Death'..."
t"Death??"
s"Yes… a blade that when used, would assure absolute death upon whoever it is used upon…"
s"However… there is a limitation…"
"Sobek reaches for the dagger to show a visualization for the boy."
"Sobek attempts to unsheath the blade, but is proven unable to."
t"!?"
s"This blade is bound by an incantation…"
s"The blade will only unsheath itself, when it is used by the one it deems worthy…"
t"Worthy of what?"
s"Of being Pharaoh…"
t"Oh…"
"Sobek hands the blade to Taiyo, which he grabs."
s"Young Pharaoh… "
s"Whether you're able to unsheath it or not is up to you to find out…"
s"However, do be wary of this blade…"
s"For its power to invoke death is no laughing matter."
s"Hatspuchet…"
s"The Widow's Blade."
"Now standing against the demon, Taiyo gets the black blade handle."
"The demon, growing impatient, lunges at the boy."
"Its claws extended, attempting to rip the boy's head off, only to be met with a slice in front of the boy."
"The Black blade has been unsheathed, and in a quick manner, Taiyo cuts off the demon's extended arm."
"The demon falls back in pain, blood gushing out its wound."
t"!!"
"b"Amun!!"
sk"!!"
a"No way…!"
a"That's… Hatspuchet!"
a"The Blade of the Widow!"
a"The power to conjure absolute death!"
b"That blade… I've heard of it!"
b"It's said it can only be unsheathed by the true King!"
Taiyo holds the blade to his face, preparing for battle."
tr"Damn You!!"
tr"DAMMMNN YOUUU!@#$%^&*!"
"Taiyo lunges at the demon, slicing in every direction he sees it fall back too."
"The tip of the blade strikes through one arm, then another, and another."
"The blade even touches a thread of webbing nearby, which triggers a chain reaction."
"The webbing holding up his allies burst through the blades' effects, unraveling them free from their prisons. "
b"!!"
sk"!!"
"Getting the upper hand, Taiyo gets on top of the demon."
"The demon's body is firmly on the ground, Taiyo straddling on top, with the blade pointed directly down."
t"Kissama!!!"
"The demon uses its remaining arms to hold back his arms that are pushing the blade down."
"They're at a stalemate."
"TaIyo in frustration, begins to scream."
"The demon in retaliation screams as well."
t"Kaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!"
tr"Rrrraaaaaaahhhhggg!!"
"Slowly, Taiyo's blade starts inching closer and closer down to the demon."
tr"NO!!!"
"The demon injects its venom into the boy, however, that does not stop him."
"Through the pain, Taiyo keeps pushing forward."
"His determination, his resolve, never wavering."
t"KAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!"
"The tip of the blade cuts the demon's chest."
tr"!@#$%^!!!"
"Taiyo has won the stalemate, with full force, he brings the full length of the blade down into the demon heart."
pause
"After a small light, the demon explodes from the blade's contact."
"Its blood and guts scatter across the ground."
"Taiyo's face is covered in blood, as he stares at the demon's remains."
"He stands up, looking over at the three individuals he had come here to save."
"He see's Bastet in the middle of healing the other two, purging the venom from their bodies."
t"!!"
"Taiyo feels a sense of relief, seeing that they're all okay."
"He drops the blade in his hand, his body follows not long after."
b"Amun!"
Bastet attempts to run to him, but a sudden explosion stops her."
"The Widow's blade, capable of destroying anything and everything, upon hitting the floor, it had destroyed the debris they were standing on top of."
"This shattered the floor, making the place Taiyo laid turn into an open pit, in which he fell down within."
"Hsi body falls at least 20 stories down, hitting the ground below him, the venom still coursing his body as he lays there unconscious."
"Bastet quickly turns around."
b"Sister!"
'Sekhmet nods her head, grabbing her sister in bridal-style and leaping down into the pit."
a"!!"
a"Hey! What about me!"
"The two fall down into the pit, Sekhmet's feet clawing into the dirt walls to slow them down."
"Landing safely, the two see the boy's body lying on top of the rocks. The black blade rested nearby."
"Bastet runs up to him, placing her hands on his chest and begins to invoke her magic through him."
b"Come on…!"
"A pink light starts to glow around them."
"However, the dark markings around the boy's body showed no sign of leaving."
"After being in that life or death situation, the demon most likely injected a lethal amount of this venom into the boy."
"As well as exhausting his physical and magical limit, preventing his regeneration to fight out the poison."
b"No!!"
b"Why isn't it working!!"
b"Wake up!!"
b"Wake up wake up wake up!!"
"Bastet continues to try to heal him, her magic glowing non stop as she imbues her authority over him."
"But even so, the boy remains unresponsive."
b"Amun…"
"Bastets face hovers over the young boy's."
b"Wake up… please…"
b"Egypt… still needs you…"
b"I still need you…!"
b"Baka…"
"A tear falls onto the boy's cheek."
"Bastet's eyes glimmer, as she takes in the boy's complexion."
"He had just fought through a hundred demons, and just taken out their ringleader too…"
"Even after the big fight they had..."
"He still came back."
"For them…"
"For her…"
b"..."
b"I love you."
b"I love you…!"
b"Amun…"
"She brings her lips down to his, kissing the unconscious boy."
"Sekhmet watches in silence, noticing a spike in her sister's magic."
b"Bastet held the kiss for a while, her tears continuing to fall on the boy."
"After a moment, she brings her lips away from his. slowly opening her eyes to gaze at him again."
"After a few seconds, Taiyo begins to start coughing, the dark marks around his body slowly vanishing."
b"!!!"
t"Cough! Cough!"
b"Amun!"
"After a minute, Bastet's magic dissipates, as she sees the black marks on his body fully vanish."
t"...!"
t"Bastet…o…!"
b"I'm here!"
b"Your Bastet is here!"
b"Amun!"
"Taiyo reaches a hand to his face, bringing them to his goggles and slowly removing them."
t"What happened…"
t"The demon… What happened… did I…"
b"Shhh, It doesn't matter… You're okay now…"
b"You don't have to worry anymore…"
t"..."
t"Basteto…"
"Taiyo looked up at her face, her eyes were warm, but still visibility saddened."
t"I'm sorry… for what I said to you…"
b"!!"
t"I'm sorry… I made you cry…"
b"No…"
b"I'm the one who's sorry…"
b"I never should have kept something so important from you…"
b"Amun…"
b"Taiyo…"
b"I'm sorry…"
b"You got yourself in this mess because of me…"
t"..."
b"All I do is cause problems for you…"
b"I'm so sorry…"
t"Basteto…"
b"..."
t"Don't call me that…"
b"...!"
b"Huh…"
t"..."
b"B-but… I thought you…"
t"Forget what I said…"
t"It doesn't matter…"
b"But…!"
"Taiyo brings his hand up, caressing the girl's cheek softly."
"He then cups it with his full hand."
"Her skin was soft to the touch, and warm too."
"He feels one of her tears touch the edge of his thumb."
"Their eyes staring directly at one another."
t"Call me Amun."
t"Nothing else…"
b"...!"
b"Is it really okay…"
t"Yes."
b"You won't get mad if I do…"
t"I won't…"
b"You'll still…"
"Bastet brings her hands up, holding the hand that held her cheek."
b"You'll still keep me by your side…"
t"..."
t"Basteto…"
t"There's nowhere else I'd rather you be…"
"A tear falls on her cheek, before it's wiped away by Taiyo."
t"Basteto…"
t"I'm dumb… and pretty simple-minded..."
t"I can only see what's right in front of me…"
t"I don't have any ambitions, or interests."
t"I dont have some grand dream worth fighting for…"
t"I'm just a nobody…"
t"I'm not special…"
t"I'm not… some God."
t"But despite all that…"
t"You stood by my side…"
b"!!"
t"You've believed in me, no matter what challenge presented itself…"
t"I don't know what I did…"
t"To win your admiration…"
t"And I don't really care…"
t"But a part of me…"
t"Wants to live up to the expectations Amun has laid out…"
t"To be a man worthy of such… devotion…"
t"So it may be selfish for me to say this…"
t"But…"
t"Please continue to stay by my side."
t"Basteto…"
"Bastet's tears fall uncontrollably as she stares down at the man beneath her."
"Straddling his waist firmly, she drops down so her face is against his chest."
b"AMUN!!!"
"Bastet hold the boy tightly."
b"Amun! Amun! Amun! Amun!!!"
"Taiyo says nothing, allowing the girl to bury her face against him even deeper."
"He wraps his arms around her, the two embracing on the rocky ground."
"Sekhmet released a small smile, seeing her sister get closure brought her some peace."
"Her eyes are drawn over to the black blade, seeing it slowly dissipate into magical particles."
"After a few seconds, it fully vanishes into thin air, seemingly as if it was never there to begin with."
sk"!!?"
a"Heyyyy!!!!"
"They look up to see Anubis's head peering down."
a"What happened down there!"
a"DId they kiss and make up!"
sk"UMU!"
b"S-sister!!"
t"??"
"Taiyo is momentarily perplexed before he senses an odd feeling from his lips."
b"Bastet looks over at Taiyo, Blushing the same shade as her hair fearing the boy recalled her previous actions."
a"Oi! If you guys are done then can we get out of here now!"
b"Mou!! Anubis no baka!"
"Bastet feels stunged having her moment ruined."
Scene sinai
"Now together, the group made their way out the back canyon, Walking up a cliff to view the land before them."
"The end of the labyrinth has led them to a secret chamber, inaccessible to the outside world."
"Seeing the distance a good bit away, the group averted their eyes to an oasis that bridged the chamber and the cliff."
"They stand atop the cliff, marveling at the sight."
b"It's beautiful…"
sk"Umu."
a"Dang… I wonder if the scarab is actually in there…"
"Upon his inquiry, the small amulets Bastet was holding started to float in the air, glowing a slight hue."
b"Haa!"
b"No way, it's actually reacting."
t"Hooo… Guess that paid off…"
"The group looks at the floating amulet, signaling the scarab to be with the chamber."
t"Well, we came all this way…"
b"We finally found it!"
t"Yea… I was starting to think we'd never find it…"
a"The scarab… it has to be in there!"
sk"Umu…"
"Taiyo stretches, viewing the sunset before them, issuing the end of the day."
t"Well, I'm sure you guys are more than eager to retrieve the scarab, but I for one am completely beat…"
a"No kidding… I got the piss beaten out of me today Boss."
a"I could surely use some rest myself."
sk"Umu…"
'Bastet nods."
b"I agree, we've all been working hard nonstop…"
b"And there's a perfectly good hotspring right here!"
t"What do you say we rest and clean up, and finish our adventure bright and early tomorrow."
b"Sounds like a plan to me, Amun!"
"Finishing his stretch, Taiyo looks over at the three."
"Sekhmet, Anubis, and Bastet."
"Three friends he's made along the way."
"Though the journey so far has been long, and tough…"
"He came out the other end with unique experiences, and managed to make new connections with such extraordinary individuals."
"t"Sekhmeto…"
t"Anubis…"
"His eyes garner over to the red-head."
t"Basteto…"
t"We may have only known each other for a short while…"
t"I'm counting on you guys, so let's rest up and give it our best!"
"Everyone" "RIght!"
"The group stand on top of the cliff, the sunset illuminating their forms."
t"I still don't know what it means to be a Pharaoh… or even a God…"
t"But…"
t"I know no matter what challenges I may face…"
t"As long as these guys are by my side…"
"Taiyo looks over at Bastet, who meets his gaze and gives him a bright smile, which elicits a small blush to his cheeks."
t"And with Basteto's support…"
t"I know… I can overcome anything…"
"The sunset continues to fall, slowly bringing forth the night sky. And thus, bringing a close to this chapter of the boy's adventure.
Yet, as the horizon stretches endlessly before him, new trials and challenges lie in wait, promising that his journey is far from over."
