Indiana Jones In Equestria
Chapter 2: Wherein Indy Cannot Even...
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"And that's my adventures so far, well, up until here anyways." Indy concludes.
"Well, enough about me. How about you? How'd you get into Archaeology?"
"Me?" Daring asks, putting a hoof on her chest. "Well, my life of adventuring and archaeology started when I was a little filly..."
TWO HOURS LATER...
Indy was flabbergasted after learning that the weather was made in Equestria and even more so upon hearing that two celestial alicorns controlled the two main celestial bodies, which basically, by Indy's standards, contradicted everything about science that he's ever known. Not only that, but her mother of all people, err, ponies got her into archaeology. Daring giggled, something she normally never did, at Indy's confusion.
"What's the matter Indy?" Daring teased. "I thought you said you studied mythology before?"
"Yeah, but, not like this." Indy said, lost in his own thoughts. In truth, he had no idea what to say. In fact, he had no IDEA what to make of his predicament.
"Well, we're here!" Daring said, opening the door to her house. Said house looked like it was ransacked by somebody.
"Looks like someone's been here." Indy pointed out.
"Caballeron."
"Caba-who?" Indy asked, still confused.
"Caballeron. He's rival of mine, of course I have other rivals. He wanted to work with me, I refused, and we've been rivals ever since."
"Kind of reminds me of Belloq." Indy remarked.
"Who's he? A friend of yours?" Daring asked.
"No." Indy seethed. "We were classmates at one time. He plagiarized my paper on stratigraphy and took credit for the work and claimed I plagiarized his work. Because of this, he was awarded the Archaeological Society Prize with me unable to prove the theft. We've been enemies since then."
"I see." Daring said.
"DARING DO! YOU HAVE SOMETHING THAT BELONGS TO ME!" a voice from afar called out.
"Ahuizotl."
"Who?"
"Another one of my worst rivals." Daring explained.
"Amen to that." Indy said.
True to her word, Ahuizotl was indeed strange, especially to Indy, since he'd never seen anything like him before in his career, as of yet. Indy got a good, albeit a brief one, look at Ahuizotl. Ahuizotl had a strangely shaped rectangular muzzle, pointed ears and dark fur, and had an extra hand on his tail.
What else is new in this messed up place?!?!?! Indy thought, still not comprehending what the hell was going on.
"Jones, c'mon, we've gotta get help!" Daring said.
"Right." Indy said as he and Daring both dashed off to go get help.
"CURSE YOU DARING DO AND..." Ahuizotl trailed off, still shaking his fist in the air and trying to piece together the name of her bipedal compatriot. "whatever your name is!"
Meanwhile...
Both Daring Do and Indiana Jones ran out of the jungles and outside of the quaint little town of Ponyville, out of breath, sweating.
"And to think *wheeze*, I outran a gigantic rock that almost crushed me!" Indy wheezed, out of breath.
"What?" Daring asked, confused.
"Long story, I'll tell you later. Right now we need to get help, and get me out of here." Indy said.
"You're handling this surprisingly well." Daring says to Indy.
"I've seen stranger things." Indy says to Daring.
"Like what?"
"I've seen a man overwhelmed by a power he couldn't control, went crazy from said power and destroyed an ethereal dimension. I've also seen a man have his heart ripped out, with said man still alive and with his heart still beating." Indy explained.
Now it was Daring's turn to be surprised.
"C'mon, Daring. Let's go before Ahui... whatever his name is comes looking for us." Indy says, metaphorically shaking Daring Do out of her surprised stupor.
