Indiana Jones (The Mane Six) and the Cursed Book of Thoth
Chapter 2 Hope You Ponies Packed for the Desert
Previous ChapterThe Mediterranean Sea
Six interplanetary ponies and a well-hatted human sat close together in an inflatable life boat. It seemed the Nazi fighters that struck down their plane had thought Indiana was dead. That did not mean, however, that the Germans were not still hot on their tails - pun intended.
"Turn the boat to the right!" Indiana Jones ordered.
"Where are we?" asked Twilight.
"Judging by the temperature, I'd say we're in the Gulf of Sidra, hope you ponies packed for the desert."
Rarity's eyes went wide, "I haven't!"
"So what's the plan when we get to shore, Indy?" asked Applejack.
Indy thought for a moment, "We'll need to find a way to Cairo. A friend of mine lives there, the one problem is hiding you six from sight," Dr. Jones looked to the two winged mares that were pushing the boat along in the back, "How much weight can you carry?"
Fluttershy stuttered a bit but Rainbow cut her off, "I can handle it!"
Cairo, Egypt
Rainbow Dash managed to, with great struggle, lift all of her friends into the air while Indiana talked to the Libyan locals. The plan went swimmingly and now the seven were in the home of Indiana's friend Sallah. The seven were well fed by Fayah, Sallah's wife, and had a nice place to rest for the night.
In the morning, Jones told his pony companions, they would have to search the Nile River for an ancient tomb belonging to a prince named Neferkaptah.
Outside the City Limits of Qift, Egypt
The Nile River was long and deep. It may have taken days for the seven to find what they were looking for, that was, if one hadn't read the legends.
Sallah drove Indiana Jones and his pony companions into the city. Just as they were nearing the city's boarders, a honking car sounded behind them.
"Those guys look mad!" Pinkie Pie said.
"Nazis?!" the ponies shouted.
Indy thought quickly, "Sallah! Stop the car, go home to your family! I've got this!"
Sallah pulled over and Indiana and his pony friends jumped out.
"Give 'em hell, Indiana Jones!" Sallah yelled as he sped off.
Indy and his six pony companions stood in a standoff with the Nazis in their black convertible.
"Guten Tag, Dr. Jones," said a smug Nazi officer in the front passenger seat of the convertible, "und who a'e your friends?"
"Good day, Nazi sheep," Indy spat, "These are just some ponies who want nothing more than to get this over with like me!"
"Oh, ve'll get zhis ova with!" The Nazi officer barked some orders in his native tongue and three Nazis stepped out from the back seat of the car.
Before the Nazis could react, Rainbow Dash swooped in and knocked all three off of their feet.
Indiana smirked, "Hey, nice one!"
"Oh, it iz zo on!" said the Nazi officer.
The car began to drive forward, barreling towards Jones and the ponies. Before anyone could react, Indy pulled out his revolver and shot out the car's front tires.
The Nazi officer was furious and jumped from the car, he pulled a submachine gun from the back seat and raced towards Indy and his companions.
The seven scattered in different directions at the command of Indiana. They all knew where the Nile was, it was just a matter of outrunning the crazed Nazi to get there.
The Nazi officer mostly focused on catching Indiana. He was fruitless as Indy raced through the city. He dashed through alleyways, used his whip to swing over groups of pedestrians, and climbed fences. As Indy ran, he eventually was caught up to by Pinkie Pie.
Pinkie bounced alongside Dr. Jones. Then, she felt a twitch, her Pinkie Sense was acting up, "Everypony look out below!" she squealed to anyone who was listening.
When she finished her sentence, Rainbow Dash followed by Fluttershy descended from the sky on top of the Nazi officer. The three went tumbling to the ground.
Just as Rarity was galloping towards Indiana, the Nazi's gun slid in front of her, "Such brutish behavior!" Rarity chastised as she crushed the gun with her hooves.
Finally, Indiana, Pinkie, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash reached the coast of the Nile. Twilight and Applejack stood there waiting, "What took y'all so long?" Applejack laughed.
"A damn good maneuver is what!" Indiana said, looking to the four ponies behind him.
Now, all that was left to do was to find the tomb of Neferkaptah, make sure the Nazis don't get the book, and take the ponies back home.
