Plot
There are rumors of a legendary treasure hidden in the Mobian Desert, deep within the Desert Ocean Zone!

But is this treasure truly worth taking? Or is it best left where it rests...?

Prologue
''[In the Mobian Desert, in the Desert Ocean Zone...a large temple sits in the sands, hidden by a vicious sandstorm. A big, dog-like beast in Pharaoh's attire stands at the very top of the temple...]''

???: .......

[Then, two strange little creatures fly out of the temple, joining the dog monster.]

??? 3: Ahh, the sandstorm looks nice today!

??? 2: .....

??? 3: Eh-he...

??? 2: [Rolls her eyes]

??? 3: To be honest, I actually kinda hope some fools try and get in here. I'm so bored...

??? 2: You're always bored.

??? 3: Well there's not much to do here unless people actually try and invade...

Part 1
[In Station Square...]

Scratchy: {"What should we do, Johnny?"}

Johnny: Well... we can head over to the arcade and play it over there.

Scratchy: {"Cool!"}

''[Meanwhile, Linebeck happens to be looking over an old book of sorts. Cinnamon the Rat peeks over his shoulder without the ferret noticing.]''

Cinnamon: Whatcha reading?

Linebeck: [Jumps and nearly drops the book] JE- [straightens up] Don't scare me like that!

Cinnamon: Oops, sorry.....whatcha reading?

Linebeck: A book on ancient history in the Mobian desert.

Cinnamon: That sounds boring... >.>

Linebeck: If you knew anything about ancient history, you'd know that there's usually interesting artifacts left over from these ancient civilizations.

Cinnamon: Really?

Linebeck: Yes really.

Cinnamon: It still sounds boring...

Linebeck: ಠ_ಠ

(Back with Johnny and Scratchy, he happens to stumble an arcade game, in which the points read "9998", which would indicate that there are 9,998 tickets inside this arcade machine. He looks determined)

Johnny: Do want. o3o [inserts a coin into a machine]

(Outside the city, Alasdair roamed a field, heading back to town after a good hunt.)

Alasdair: Good to be home.

(Back with Johnny, he presses the button at the exact moment before the machile triggers an alarm as an acheivement)

Johnny: w00t! I did it, Scratchy! I--

(Suddenly, the machine bursts into a wave of tickets that washes both Johnny and Scratchy away and outside of the arcade room, which then creates a barricade)

Vegas walked by and saw the huge wave of tickets.

Vegas: O_O; Oh wow you guys really know how to play those games.

Johnny: [emerges out of the pool of tickets he won; gasps for air] That was.... awesome... Sratchy...!

Scratchy: [also gets out for air; gasping] Sneas... sneas... sneasel! (Easy... for you... to say!)

(Johnny then gets up to his feet and sees Vegas)

Johnny: [sees Vegas, despite his blurry vision] Vegas?

Vegas: Yeah, it's me John, how the heck did you manage....? *She began using her finger to circle around the array of tickets.

Johnny: [chuckles] I guess you could say that luck was on my side.

Scratchy: [groans, then gets up and looks at Vegas] Sne? Sneasel sne? (Huh? Who are you?)

Alasdair walks by seeing the scene, confused by it's nature. "How the hell did you end up like this?"

In the Desert Ocean Zone...


 * (Jon- Should I bring Jeremy in?)
 * (Ryu-Sure.)
 * (Jon- 'kay)

(Jeremy is walking through the desert, wearing robes around his head and sunglasses, to prevent windy sand from impairing his vision and looks around)

Jeremy: [thinking] ''Hmm... this place seems familiar... if I'm correct, there might be some treasures somewhere in this desert, which could make me a fortune.''

''[As he continues to walk, he comes across what appears to be a massive sandstorm! But strangely, it is not moving from its spot. It's like a sandstorm wall...]''

Jeremy: [thinking] Huh... a sanstorm? Heh, why stand here when I can make an attempt to walk through it...?

(He then attempts to approach the sandstorm wall, in hoping he can walk through it. The wind is whipping harshly around him, and he's being battered by the sand.)

Jeremy: [is forced to crawl slowly and uses one arm to defend himself from being hit by the sand; thinking] ''Damn... this sand's hitting me then and there, and my aquakinetic is too inneffective against this kind of weather... I just got to hold my ground and keep moving.''

(Jeremy struggles to nagivate through the harsh sandstorm as he continues along the way. There doesn't seem to be an end to the sandstorm...)

Jeremy: [growls; thinking] ''Why won't this storm end...?! It's like I never seen a light or anything like that... I guess I'll have no choice but to use aquakinesis, even if it's a risky attempt. Fire might not work well with water, but what about sand? Only one way to find out!''

(Jeremy then charges up for a water attack, in an effort to combat the sandstorm. Eventually, he summons a giant wall of water which then obstructs the sandstorm! The giant wall of water crashes through, agitating the sand on either side of the wave. The water wall and the sandstorm almost seem to be combating each other.)

Jeremy: [doing everything in his power to combat the sandstorm] GGRRRAHHH!!!! I refused to be pushed around by this annoying sandstorm!

[An opening starts to show through to the other side.]

Jeremy: Hm? [sees an opening while still combating the sandstorm]

''[It grows larger, revealing clear air on the other side. Jeremy hurriedly heads over there as the water wall Jeremy left is losing power against the trechareous sandstorm. In the distance, he can see what looks like an enormous temple!]''

Jeremy: [looks at the temple] A temple, huh? I bet there are artifacts or anything that's worth the steal and make me a quick buck or two... [chuckles evilly as he approaches to the temple, only to have a swirling mass of glowing symbols appear in front of him after a few steps!]
 * (Ryu-Hey guys, you better hurry, Jeremy's already at the temple! :U)
 * (Jeremy: Try and catch me if you can, kiddies. >:3)
 * (Charlene: Challenge accepted.)

(Meanwhile with the Trolls, they are wandering around to find the temple, with Liam lost along the way)

Cloud: Where is Liam?

Macabre: Liam was with us a while ago.

Punchout: Eh.

(With Liam...)

Liam: Hello? Where am I? Toxic? Cloud? Macabre?? [wanders around, which makes him even more lost]

[Back at the temple, the two little creatures observe the swirling mass of symbols from inside the temple, looking out of a balcony window.]

Faust: Oooh, looks like there might be a fight!

''[The symbols compress into a sphere which ruptures roughly a second after its creation, causing a Panther and a five-tailed fox to spill out onto the sands! After a few seconds of gathering her senses the Panther rises, only to find her companion already on her paws.]''

Panther: H-How..?

Fox: You forget my age, hun: I've been through many a rough warp in my time.

Panther: Oh, right. ^_^"

(A couple miles away an airship is flying towards the sandstorm...)

Pixel: Ahhh yes we're closing in on the storm Sledge.

Sledge: *Sarcasticly* Fantastic, iv'e always wanted to study a freakin' sandstorm in the middle of a fuggin' desert!! *Sighs* Remind me what we're doing here Pix?

Pixel: You just said so yourself, we're here to study that sandstorm. From what i understand this storm does not move nor die down, it's almost like a giant wall.

Sledge: Uh huh, and I'm here because.....?

Pixel: Protection from any "Undesireable creature" that may be lurking around.

Sledge: Yes, because ice is very effective in the desert. Don't forget Screw head, i don't do well in the heat.

Pixel: That's what that armband i gave you is for, it will keep your body at an extremely low temprature.

Sledge: That still dosen't help the fact that ice attacks aren't any good in the desert.

Pixel: We'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

[Back near the temple, with Absinthe and Faust still watching from the balcony...]

Faust: [To Absinthe] Should we activate the Guardian?

Absinthe: Not yet...let's see where this goes...

(Back with Jeremy, he suddenly encounters Charlene and Fortuna!)

Jeremy: Eh? Whaddya two want?

Charlene: [Turns around] I could ask you the s-

Fortuna: We want ADVENTURE!!! X3

Charlene: [Facepalms]

Jeremy: ...wow.

Charlene: Tell me about it. -_-'

Fortuna: [Blinks] Tell you about what?

Charlene: [Double Facepalm]

Jeremy: ...anyways, I got some "treasure hunting" to do, so if you two don't mind, I'll be on my way.

Charlene: Actually, Moebian, I can't allow you to enter the temple; It's a Mobian burial area and I must respect their hatred of your kind. [With a wave of her paw the two are trapped within a dome of energy.]

Jeremy: So, you think you can stop me from getting my hands on taking something valuable?

Charlene: [She takes a couple steps back, placing her at the center of the dome] Think? You must be mistaken, dear child; for I know I can prevent your entrance into the temple. This much is certain.

Fortuna: [Outside the dome, which distorts her voice to those inside it] Oooooooo, she's callin' you out!

Jeremy: [ignores Fortuna's insults, has a slight annoyed expression] I'd like to see you try.

Charlene: I already have. [She gestures to the dome about them]

(Jeremy looks around the dome)
 * (Jon- I assume the dome's getting smaller?
 * (Hunt- No, nothing of the sort. It's simply highly improbable for him to be able to break through a barrier cast by a vampire who's over five centuries in age without knocking her out first.)
 * (Jon- I see.)

''[The dome is made of a glowing green energy which ripples as though it were water, although the fact that there is not the slightest breeze inside of it says otherwise. If he's not careful, Jeremy could wind up suffocating in here...]''

Jeremy: [growls] You just made a fatal mistake trapping me inside this dome...!

Charlene: [Not looking worried in the least, she rolls her eyes] No, you made the potentially fatal mistake of attempting to disrespect the dead. [She locks eyes with Jeremy] I don't take that lightly.

Jeremy: [in a sarcastic chuckle] Yeah, real f***ing hilarious. Even so, you're gonna regret... [slowly losing his breath] sealing me inside...

Charlene: [Having no trouble talking, not needing to actually breathe] No, child, you'll regret threatening a vampire.

Jeremy: ... [is gradually losing air and is unable to talk]

Charlene: Oh good, you realized I've got the dome sealed off from the fresh air outside and decided to shut it. Maybe you aren't as dumb as I thought you were. [She snaps, allowing the dome to let air pass through it]

(Jeremy gasps for air, stands on one knee while gasping as water comes out of his body, as if he was sweating from being nearly suffocated.)

Charlene: [Chuckles] Not so tough without air, are you now?

(Jeremy still gasps for oxygen to recover, and he decides not to talk back at Charlene, knowing that she will likely seal him back inside.)

Charlene: [She watches him for a bit, her expression becoming more cruel by the second.]

Jeremy: [stops gasping for air as he finishes recovering] ...what are you looking at?

Charlene: How incredibly vulnerable you are right now. I could just leave you in here to roast as the dome collects heat, bury you in sand and let you choke on that, seal it off from air and let you suffocate... [She grins] Oh so many things I could do to end you... The only problem is, how do I pick?

Jeremy: How about you put more action into it than putting more [slams his fist on the sandy ground] WORDS?!

(Jeremy releases a surge of water which hurls towards Charlene at incredible speeds!)

Charlene: OhmNef. ''[The water is blasted away from her, leaving her completely dry. She folds her arms and looks down at him tauntingly]'' Words can do incredible things, child.

Jeremy: So does [launches Aqua Tail at Charlene] THIS!

[Charlene grabs his tail and throws it to the ground, her strength and speed far surpassing Jeremy's, before stomping on it and slamming an open palm into his back]

Jeremy: GRAH!

[Absinthe and Faust are watching the fight with interest.]

Faust: How'd she know we've got dead dudes buried here?

[Back down below, Charlene follows up with a roundhouse kick to the side of her opponent's head before taking a step back]

Charlene: Learn some respect for your elders, child, least you be truly killed for your insolence. [With that, she steps out of the dome, leaving the unconcious Jeremy inside]

Fortuna: That was awesome!!

Charlene: [Smiles] I suppose it was, wasn't it? Come on now, lets get back to your studies.

Fortuna: Okay! ^_^ [She head off towards the temple, Charlene following]

(Back with Johnny, Scratchy and Vegas...)

Scratchy: Sneasel? Sneasel sneasel? (Say Johnny? What are we gonna do about the tickets?)

Johnny: Hmm... [gets an idea and whistles in another direction] FREE TICKETS FOR EVERYONE!

(Within seconds, kids come storming in and grabs a lot of tickets he won earlier before storming inside the arcade, loud cheers and excitements can be heard inside)

Johnny: [chuckles] Ah kids, you gotta love 'em.

[Johnny can then hear chanting of sorts..]

???: We're going on a treasure hunt, we're going on a treasure hunt!~

??? 2: Please. Shut up.

(Back on Pixel's airship)

Pixel: A scan of the sandstorm show's an opening within it, we can get through from there. However i'm uncertain on how long it will stay open for so we should move quickly.

Sledge: Well sand isn't exactly well suited for running on.

Pixel: I know, so i propose we ride on the back of Harrier, he's the fastest pokemon i have. *Hold's out his arm, releasing a robotic bird like pokemon*

Sledge: This... will not end well, i'm sure.

Pixel: Right, lets go!

(A door open's in which Sledge and Pixel, Carried by Harrier, Set off from at high speed. Pixel's airship cloaks soon after.)
