The Mausoleum part 3

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Right after the second tape ended, Vision's camera footage shows that the beams converging from both the tape and Mage's scroll disappeared. All at the same time, Vision Scroll finished writing notes from the second story.

"So afterwards, Mage was bed-ridden inside the docktown Inn for one week just to recover from her dangerous encounter with Blacksnake and the Angler Leviathans before moving on. And for Mayor Anchor and his surviving townponies, right after driving the Angler Leviathans away from Whirling Seashell, they filled out a report to Earthsterdam about what happened as well as seeking aid to help in meeting their deadlines successfully. They responded by sending in assistant managers and a lead team to aid Anchor's wife while operating the dock warehouse, while handing out more job openings to the neighboring villages and towns within a 30 mile radius."

As soon as Vision is done writing all of her findings down in her journal, she immediately heard a violent rumble coming from inside the Mausoleum.

"What was that??" Vision yelped as she almost fell on her back while still inside the tent.

Speaking of which, Vision's assistant isn't nowhere to be seen. She last saw him examining another artifact which happens to be an old hoof-mounted crossbow inside a long, wooden weapons crate before he went to take five. However, that was like a half an hour ago before Vision finished with the second footage of Mage Meadowbrook's recording tape.

As soon as Vision came out of her tent, more rumbling started to flow throughout the excavation site as most of the archaeological team is losing their balance before falling on their backs.

In a fright, Vision sees that one of the tall, glass cases is about to fall due to the vibrating rumble coming from below the crypt. Just as the glass case is about to crash straight into the ground, Viridian was able to leap forward past Vision as he held it with both of his front hooves the moment he landed on his stomach.

Just as the rumbling stopped, Vision felt relieved that her assistant just saved one of the artifacts from breaking due to the ground shifting unexpectedly. However, Vision still felt concerned for the rest of the artifacts that are being secured outside of the tent.


As Vision's camera footage changes, it now shows her and Viridian trying to check on every pony in the vicinity. However, the entire excavation area fell under total silence for their entire team is no where to be seen.

"Where is every pony?" Vision asked anxiously as she turned her camera to the left and right while searching every tent in the area.

Unfortunately, Vision's blood starts to chill out of concern because she then sees through her camera that no pony is inside their tents either.

"This is getting really weird. Well, Professor Fossil is going to come down to check our paperwork somewhere this afternoon. But if she notices that most of my team is missing, things are going to get out of hoof!!!" Vision spoke in a frightful tone. "Something really weird is going on here!!"

Just before Vision could get a sitrep, she did noticed that her assistant Viridian is nowhere to be seen after he saved one of the artifacts from being destroyed by the small quake.

"Viridian??" Vision asked as her eyes widened with confusion. "Viridian, where are you??"

In a few minutes of silence, Vision frantically spun the camera around while trying to find Viridian. After scouring around the site for a few minutes, Vision went to her assistant's tent to see if he is there. Then again, when looking in his tent, Viridian is no where to be seen.

Although, inside Viridian's tent, Vision sees that, through her footage, he left behind a note on the table. But as soon as Vision examines the notice, she started to sweat underneath her breath.

"You should not have came here!!!!" The note says for it is written in a disturbing message. "This mausoleum isn't to be explored."

At first, Vision thought it was some sort of prank that was left behind by a group of random ponies since she already has full authority and approval from Professor Fossil to setup the excavation in the tomb.

However, since her entire team just vanished, Vision Scroll felt anxious to see what is going on inside the Mausoleum that is making this disturbing occurrence erupt.

"What do I do?? WHAT DO I DO??? Vision muttered in a panic, holding her hooves up to both side of her head.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGHHHH!!!" A loud, bone-chilling scream erupted from inside the masoleum.

"VIRIDIAN!! IS THAT YOU??" Vision shrieked as she frantically grabs her camera, her satchel bags with the tapes inside, and her flashlight as she ran towards the source of the disturbing screams.


Once inside the mausoleum, through Vision Scroll's camera footage, she now finds herself back into the very same catacombs that she just came by a half-an hour ago. While taking a few deep breaths, Vision walked down the hallways as she feels the breeze skimming from another hallway where a doorway leading to another stairwell awaits for her.

With her flashlight shinning towards the direction that she's walking towards, Vision felt paranoid about what is going to become of her team.

Regardless, Vision has to investigate the matter herself since no pony else is able to since they're all missing from plain sight.

As soon as Vision makes her way down the second stairwell, she finds herself in a small room. Through the illumination of her flashlight and her camera, Vision sees several open chests filled with dusty artifacts that haven't been taken out yet.

Even though Vision wanted to secure them for further research, she still is aware that the safety of her team is more important than just the job that they're expecting to do!!!

Before Vision could move on to find Viridian and the rest of her team, her satchel started to glow again. Without doing anything, one of the VHS tapes started to hover on its own as it came out of Vision's satchel as it flew straight towards one of the chests on Vision's right.

The moment the floating tape is hovering above the chest, one of the dusty treasures started to float as well for it is glowing in a brown, lighting hue.

With interest and with anxiety, Vision reluctantly sees that the floating artifact resonating with the floating tape is seen to be a huge relic in the shape of a golden ankh. Not a second too soon, the tape and the dusty ankh started to both shoot a beam at each other as they both form up a small projection screen for Vision to see through her camera footage.......
