The Fate of Heroes

"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine." Josef felt the over the rubble that was now blocking there only known escape route.
"Well, at least were not dead, right? You guys? Fine, well, I think Ol' Fluffy over there doesn't like us for some reason, pity, I like cats."

After fleet Syphril quickly made way into the temple before the entrance caved in. He fumbled in the darkness. A grunt or two left his mouth as regained his sense of balance. Whipping his blade flames began to engulf it, providing what little light it did as he held it aloft, surveying the insides of the temple.

"Yeah I'm fine." After Kyle answered he felt a like something was missing, so he checked his head to make sure his hat was there. And it wasn't, Kyle then said,"Where the fuck did my hat go to?" Kyle then started to look for it in the dark.

[Mr.Chocobo]

Xeir nodded, and led them along the passeges, using Syphril's flaming sword as a light. After it got dark for a moment, both Syphril and LD's Scythes glowed. Syphril's a dark red, and LD's a black/white. The contrast of his colours was interesting, like light itself couldn't quiet understand the make of his Death Scythe.

They got to a split in the temple's sections. The dark brown brick of the temple cast odd lights on the walls because of their lights, it looked like spiders crawling the walls.
LD shrugged, his small stature shifting oddly with the gesture.
"Well! I guess we split up! Syphril, you go with half the people, the rest come with me. That way we have lights for both tunnels. And if neither houses the artifact we're looking for, we go down this third one." He said, pointing down the middle tunnel straight ahead. Xeir set Josef with LD, and Filis, then Xeir himself paired up with Kyle, Syphril, and Wilson.

They set off down their seperate tunnels, Xeir and his group down the right, LD's down the left.
-And then, Xeir noticed something. The walls were still teeming with light that looked like spiders.
Xeir thought for a moment they might REALLY be spiders, then shoved the thought away.
They turned a corner, reveiling a large room. It was made of a dark maroon brick, with tapestries of the walls. A large fireplace was on the rightside, it held a bright yellow fire blazing in it. It seemed to have nothing fueling it. On the left side of the room, there was gold. Lots and lots of gold. Gold plates, gold cups, lots of gold. And in the back of the room, there were spiders.
They were crawling all over themselves, hundreds of thousands of dark spiders.
And in the center of the room, was a large, elephant sized spider.

Wilson sighed hollowly, and a large lazor-rifle grew out of the ghostly figure that he was.
"This plan was retarded."
"Well shit." Xeir said.
"Maybe they were spiders on the walls." and with that, he drew his swordcane.

-LD led the way down their own hallway, and reached a darkly lit room. The candles on the walls barely lit anything.
There was very little in the room, save a huge, triple man sized, sarcophagus.
LD looked up at it, and Filis shifted uncomfortably.
"I sense life in that." Little Death observed, speaking mostly to Josef.

[kain17335]

Josef turned to LD, a smirk rolling across his face. "Well then, why don't we open it up, shall we?"
He walked over to the tomb, knocking on it saying: "Hellooooo? Anybody home?"

[Mr.Chocobo]

And then the sarcophagus flew open, knocking Josef back. Out of the masssive structure, a huge mummy wearing a dog's head carrying a huge spear stepped out, its huge foot making the chamber shake.

"I am Mythog. Why do you disturb me?"

[kain17335]

Josef back, landing with a thud as his boots met with the cold floor.
"Well, that depends on what your going to do to us, I'm just curious about why your here."

Syphril noticed the odd light gleaming from the scythe he had holstered on his back. Noticing it appeared to resonate with Kid Death's own Death Scythe he contemplated to himself what it could have meant before the group split. With little argument Syphril slumped behind Xeir as he led the way, the incandescently flaming steel sparing what light it could coupled with his radiating Death Scythe.

Upon reaching the room the glistening gold was the first thing to catch Syphril's eyes. Its luminous reflection of the fire's light gleamed in his eyes. Greed began to cloud his mind before the gargantuan arachnid appeared before the group. 'More fuel for the fire.', he thought. He stood back to let the others do their part, as he hoped to study the massive eight-legged pair of fangs that appeared to be hoarding the riches for its own.

"So uhhhhh, does anyone know what to do now?" As Kyle finished his question he saw his hat and said,"Hey, that's my hat god dammit!" Kyle was very pissed when he saw that they took his hat.

[Mr.Chocobo]

-"I am here to protect my fallen master's tombs. If you wish to proceed and gain their knowledge and treasures, you must defeat me, which no living man hath done." Mythog said, his voice rumbling like thunder.
He took a defensive stance, his massive feet pounding down on the ground, causing the room to shake. He pointed his massive, golden spear at Josef.

Little Death made a 'hmph' sound.
"Well shit." He said, drawing his glowing Death Scythe. He lept forward with little effort, and slashed at the mummy's dog head. It scratched a large rift in the golden mask, the slash seemed to linger, like a hole in space.

-Xeir ignored Kyle, charging at the spider. He drew his rapier from the cane that held it, and started slashing at the massive spider's legs. The horrid arrachnid screeched and flicked one of its mandables at him, sending him flying.
"Gah!" He yelped as he hit a wall. He stood, apparently unhurt.
He flexed, his tenticals assulting the spider's feet, gluing them to the floor.
"Get him!" He called to his team. Wilson pulled a gun from his ghostly embodyment, seemingly from the air, and started firing.
A mass of spiders, normal sized, swarmed at Syphril. Their black bodies made the floor look horrific.

[kain17335]

Josef looked at the Mummy's spear, and with a sarcastic voice said: "Hmm, compensating for some thing?"
Just as Little Death 'distracted' the Mummy, Josef jumped up the Mummy's leg, stabbing one of his long katana's into it's chest, just as he pulled it out and was about to jump off he shouted: "DESTROY" as he pulled the blade out of it's dark heart.

[ThatOneGuysBro]

As Syphril studied Xeir, even more so than the massive arachnid before him, he'd hardly noticed the swarming spiderlings that had slowly begun to shroud the ornate flooring with their pitch black legs that flitted about, a cringe-inducing sound emanating from their movement. A contorted look of disgust over shadowed his facial features. 'Little shits. You're so meager you're not even in the way.'

With that Syphril drew his glaive and lept into the air, a strong, pounding force exerted from his legs as he ascended. His steel began to shimmer brilliantly with crimson flames yet again. He thrust the glaive bladeward towards the ground as it cracked the refined plated flooring, deeply embedded. With a single word Syphril made short work of the hordes of spiders. "Incinerate." As soon as the word left his lips the flame disappeared from the blade, an incandescent light shining from tip of the blade buried within the floor. In an instant a ring of flame burst from the cracked flooring and grew with every blink, consuming the bulk of the eight-legged assailants.

As he dropped to the ground with a commanding 'thud' he regained his composure and grasped his weapon, still struck in the ground, ready to draw at an instant's warning. With that, he turned his attention yet again, to study Xeir as he left the matter of the large beast in his hands.

[duskskully]

Kyle just stood there without a weapon in hand, unless you count his hands. He soon wondered what he could use as a weapon until he got a good one. Kyle then remembered that he could lift up the ground and throw it at the spiders. Kyle then picked up a piece of a ground yelling,"Raaaaaaaaaaghhhhhhh."As he threw it.

[Mr.Chocobo]

-The spider shrieked as the slab of rock hit it, cracking part of its exoskeleton. The few spiders that were left froze, then skittered away. The huge spider flailed about, tearing free of Xeir's tenticals. Its dark blood spattered the floor. Xeir tossed his swordcane at it like a spear, ampailing it through the thorax. It convulsed once, then died.

"Well. Wasn't that fun?" Wilson said whimsically.

- The mummy screamed in rage as a gaping hole appeared in it's chest. But inside, there were no organs. Just sand.
"YOU INSOLENT PEST!" Mythog roared, shaking the whole temple.
He swatted LD away from his face as if he were nothing more than a fly, then grabbed Josef in his massive hand. The vice like grip tighted. Josef could tell there was sand pouring out of the wound he inflicted.
Below him, LD and Filis were combating the great terror's legs. LD with his scythe, Filis with his huge hammer.

[kain17335]

"LET GO OF ME!" Josef smashed his fist against the mummy, it didn't seem to do much damage however...
So Josef opened his hand and place it on the mummy's massive one, muttering: "Destroy." Under his breath as the mummy's hand began to disintegrate.
