Kouja no Senshi
Chapter 14: Witches 5, Temples, & Crest Orbs Arc
Act 23: The Maharajah's Palace

(OP: Ready Steady Go by L~Arc-n-Ciel)

At the palace of some sort, the group had arrived to the place while the Golbats kept flying around. The eight looked at the town before noticing some people in the place.

Voice: Hello.

Then, out came a man toward the group.

Man: I see you are rather lost. But then, I can't imagine where in the world you guys would look at home.

Indy: Oh, we're not lost.

Luigi: (confused) We aren't?

Mario: We're on our way to Penkot. (points to the others) This is Willie, they're the Griffins, this is Short Round, this dinosaur's Mr. Yoshi-

Yoshi: Yoshi!

Mario: And my brother and I...we're the Mario Bros.

Indy: And I'm...Dr. Indiana Jones.

Man: (surprised) Dr. Jones? The archaeologist?

Daisy: Hard to believe, isn't it?

He shook hands with the explorer.

Man: I remember first hearing about you when I was studying at Oxford. Chattar Lal, Prime Minister for His Highness, Zalim, the Maharajah of Penkot.

He then shook the others' hands.

Jack: Enchanted to meet you guys.

Willie: (grins) Thank you very much.

He kissed her hand, then Daisy's before Luigi gasped, with his face turning red with jealousy.

Chattar Lal: (to everyone) Welcome to the Penkot Palace.

He led the the others while Indy motioned Willie to go ahead. She smiled before she headed in with the Marios and Indy following. That evening, as Hinduish music was playing, Brian looked around before noticing something wrong.

Brian: Stewie, where's my razor? I need it to take off the longer parts of my fur to get presentable.

Stewie: Trying to impress some girls, huh?

Brian: Stewie, shut up, will you?

WIth Yoshi, he passed by the guards while familiar voices were heard.

Rob's Voice: So you're telling us you got it all set up?

The dinosaur peeked, yelping as he saw the familiar Death Busters, wearing disguises.

Mimette: That's what Ayami's saying.

Eudiel: (glares) It better be something...

Mimette: Jealous?

Jason: Ayami knows better...I mean why else do we have to disguise ourselves as guards while invading the palace?

Yoshi looked worried and backed away, quickly heading off while looking worried.

Yoshi: Yoshi!!

Inside, some females were dancing while some musicians played some music. Some people chatted about while Chattar Lal led the gangs (dressed in tuxedos and dresses of their color) to the area.

Chattar Lal: We're fortunate tonight to have a ceremony for unexpected visitors.

Mirage: Very interesting.

Mr. Bounce: And the right music too!

Then, the four came to a man named Captain Philip Blumburtt.

Chattar Lal: This is Captain-

Philip: Philip Blumburtt, a captain full of rights. And you, sir, are Dr. Jones, I presume.

Indy shook Philip's hand with a grin.

Indy: I am, thank you. (motions to the others) These are the Kouja no Senshi and Team Spicer.

Loud: Don't mind us. We're just passing by.

Kagome: Right. Nothing to hide.

Chattar Lal: Captain Blumburtt and his troops are on a routine inspection here. The British find it amusing to inspect us in their convienience.

Philip: I hope it isn't inconvienient to you, sir.

Chattar Lal: The British worry so about their empire. Makes it all feel like well cared for children.

With Yoshi, he screamed as he was running.

Yoshi: Yoshi, Yoshi!

Mario: Yoshi? You-a okay?

Yoshi: Yoshi, Yoshi!

Luigi: Relax. Things are okay.

Yoshi: Yoshi!

Argit: Geez, what's up with him? Did something spooked him?

Then, to Indy's delight, out came Willie, wearing a dress similiar to the club, though with some orange rims on the rear of the skirt.

Indy: You look beautiful.

Willie: I think the Maharajah is swimming in loot. Maybe it wasn't such a bad idea coming here after all.

Sailor Irk: (scoffs) Way to change your mind, lady.

Indy: (blushing) Well, you know. Anyway, you look like a princess.

Willie: (giggles) Of course. Uh, Mr. Lal, what do they call the Maharajah's wife?

Cartman: A bitch!

Stan: (annoyed) Cartman!

Kyle: Do you want us to get kicked out?

Cartman: Screw you! Indians always got bitches for wives, kinda like how Nascar got poor and stupid people as fans and racers.

Kenny: (anger mark) (F**k you!)

Chattar Lal: I don't think Zalim Singh took a wife just yet.

Willie: How interesting...well, uh, maybe he hasn't found the right woman.

Meg: I get dibs on him, though.

Chris: What do you know about him? You don't even know what he looks like.

Meg: Shut up, Chris.

Finally, the entertainment was done before the people in the palace and eight guests came to the mattress seats. Cgattar Lal came to the side as he spoke.

Chattar Lal: His supreme highness, guardian of the Rajput tradition, the Maharajah of Pankot, Zalim Singh!

Then, the door opened up before the crowd saw a figure, a young boy arriving to the area before he and the crowd sat.

Meg: (shocked) That's the Maharajah? That kid?!

Brian: Maybe he likes older women.

Stewie: Oooh, burn on that one. Ha-ha-ha!

Zalim only yawned a bit while

Mickey: Wow, so he's a kid.

Chattar Lal: More or less.

Indy: Captain Blumburtt was just telling me something of the interesting history of the palace. Of the importance it played on the mutiny.

Chattar Lal: (annoyed) It seems the British never forget the mutiny of 1857.

Sam: Neither do we but perhaps some of us wish to be reminded.

Indy: Yes, but you know, I think there are other events before the mutiny going back a century, back the time of N, but more interesting.

Chattar Lal: And what events are those, Dr. Jones?

As he spoke next, Williey tried taking the pearl necklace off the unsuspecting man before she and Luigi noticed the cooked snake on the platter.

Nack: If memory serves me correctly, this area, this provence, was the center of activity for the Thugnee.

Mouser: Thank God that my name isn't mentioned!

Bowser: Who would want it to be so?

Man: (notices) Ah, Snake Surprise.

Luigi: (gulps) Oh dear...I hate to ask, but what's the surprise?

The part of the snake was cut before they saw live baby eels coming out before the group looked shocked and Luigi fainted.

Daisy: Oh, Luigi...

Strong Sad yelps as he pukes under the table.

Chatter Lal: (annoyed) You're cleaning that up, sir!

Chattar Lal: Dr. Jones and weasel, you know perfectly well that the Thugnee cult's been dead for nearly a century.

Sailor Solaris: Oh really?

Philip: Yes, of course. The Thugnees were an obscenity that worshipped Kali with human sacrifices. The British Army nicely did away with them.

The others, meanwhile, watched as the eels went inside the man. Luigi looked back up before fainting once more.

Indy: Well, I suppose stories of the Thugnees die hard.

Chattar Lal: There aren't anymore stories.

Mr. Happy: Out of curiosity, should some remain?

Chattar Lal: Hmph! Well, if that was the case, then they either died over the years or didn't bother to reform their group. Either way, the Thugnee cult is no longer a threat.

Sam: I'm not so sure. We came from a small village, dozens told us that Pankot Palace was growing powerful again because of some ancient evil.

Chattar Lal: Village stories, dog. They're just feared folklore. You're beginning to worry Captain Blumburtt.

Indy looked before noticing the eel while Philip was shoving it away.

Philip: I'm not that worried, Jack Spicer, just interested.

He shoved the eel away as the dung beetles, cooked up, were passed around. Each one took a piece of the beetle, much to Willie's surprise. Then, one of them noticed the six not eating.

Man: What? You are not eating?

Willie: Uh...I had bugs for lunch.

He chuckled before eating the bug.

Willie: (to Luigi) Give me your hat.

Luigi: Why?

Willie watched more before looking at the man eating the bug.

Willie: Because I'm gonna throw up.

Luigi: Eep! Not if I throw up first. Chris, give me your hat.

Chris: No way!

Yoshi only shrugged before using his tongue, catching a piece of food before eating it.

Brian: That Yoshi of theirs...eats anything at all.

Max yelps a bit.

Max: Sam, my psychic senses are tingling...

Sam: Say...do you heard anything called the Devil's Toybox?

Chattar Lal: Yes, we have heard legends of the Devil's Toybox and the artifacts within it. Those who has a powerful Gift can use them. Why?

Sam: Well, we were expecting that one of the artifacts are here in the palace...

Chattar Lal: Look, I assured, the palace has nothing sinister to hide.

Sam: Hmmm...

Indy: You know, the villagers also told us that the palace had taken something.

Chattar Lal: (shocked) Uh...Dr. Jones, in our country, it's not unusual for a guest to insult his host.

Mr. Bounce: He's got a point.

Indyo: Oh, I'm sorry. (chuckles) I thought we were talking about folklore.

Willie, meanwhile, tried talking to the guest.

Willie: Excuse me, sir. Do you have anything simple like soup?

Philip: What exactly was stolen?

Danny: A sacred rock.

Chattar Lal: (chuckles) You see, Captain, a rock.

Then, the soup was brought to them. Willie opened it up before she smelled it.

Luigi: Smells good...me first!

Mr. Bounce: (realizes) Oh wait, I just remembered what people in this time served in India...

However, before he could, he noticed eyeballs before screaming as did Willie.

Both: AHHHH!!

Luigi once more fainted.

Miss Whoops: (sweatdrop) Too late.

Sailor Moon: Something connected. The villagers' rock in the old legend of the Sankara Stone.

Chattar Lal: Dr. Jones, they're all vulnerable vicious rumors. I seem to remember that in Honduras, you were accused of being a grave robber than an archeologist.

Indy: (sighs) Well, the newspapers greatly exaggerate the incident.

Chattar Lal: And wasn't it the sultan of Madagascar who threatened to cut your head off if you ever return to his country?

Some: Eeeew!

Indy: Now that is a misunderstanding.

Chattar Lal: Then your hands, perhaps.

Indy: (sighs) It wasn't my hand. Still, it's a misunderstanding.

Chattar Mal: (narrows) Exactly what we have here, Dr. Jones.

Zalim, overhearing the conversation, finally spoke.

Zalim I have heard the evil stories of the Thugnee cult.

Homestar: (surprised) He can speak?! I thought he has taken the vow of silence!

Marzipan: That's monks, Homestar!

He then looked at him while everyone remained silent.

Zalim: I thought the stories were told to frighten children. Later, I learned that the Thugnee cult was once real and did unspeakable things. I'm ashamed of what happened here so many years ago. And I assure you, this will never happen again in my kingdom.

Indy: Uh, have I offended you? Then I am sorry.

He looked a little concerned while Chattar Lal, glancing at Zalim, bowed.

Zalim: I also heard of the legends about the Devil's Toybox and the dangerous powers within, but there is nothing like that here.

Psycho: That's not what my psychic links say!

Sarah: Psycho!

Wise Guy: Ixnay!

Indy, Sam, Nack and Numbuh 2 only looked suspiciously at Zalim.

Man: Ah, dessert.

Then, each of them was given a Gorilla head in a cup.

Man: Chilled monkey brains.

He ate the brains while Willie and Luigi looked at their food before both fainted onto one another's arms and onto the ground.

Stewie: Hmph, what's with them? It's just another name for jello inside a fake monkey head.

Miroku: (grins) In that case, more for me!

That night, after Luigi recovered, the Kouja no Senshi and Team Spicer yawned a bit as Indy looked at them before he took a wrapped cloth from Yoshi.

Mario: Uh, I think I'll just check on Willie.

Short Round: That's how you bet a dream.

Meg: Does that make any sense?

Julayla: You can tell us later what happened, all right?

Indy: All right.

Indy neared the door. However, before he knocked, the door opened up, with Willie in her yellow robe.

Indy: Um...I've got something for you.

Williey: (frowns) There's nothing you have I could possibly want.

Indy: Well, all right.

He turned away from her before holding up an apple. He bit into it before Willie, noticing it, went to it before taking a bite out of it. Indy chuckled, showing the plate of fruit before Willie took it and headed back in the room.

Willie: Oh, you're a very nice man, Indiana Jones. (giggles) Maybe you could be my palace slave.

Indy took a glanced at Willie, eating a piece of fruit before entering. He then looked at the jewels on her.

Willie: Wearing your jewels to bed, princess?

Willie: That's right...and nothing else.

The hero looked stunned and surprised.

Willie: That shock you?

Indy: Um, nothing shocks me. I'm a scientist.

Willie: So as a scientist, you do alot of research?

Indy: Always do.

Willie: And what sort of research would you do on me?

Indy: Uh, I'd have to go with nocturnal activities.

Willie: You mean like what sort of cream I put on my face at night? What position I like to sleep in?

Indy: (blushing) Um...mating customs?

Willie: Rituals?

Indy: Primitive sexual practices...

They leaned closer to one another.

Willie: So you an authority in that area?

Indy: I'd say yes on that.

The two finally kissed one another for a long moment. Finally, they broke the kiss softly as Willie smiled to Indy.

Willie: I don't blame you brothers for being sore, I mean I can be hard to handle.

Indy: Oh, I had worse.

Willie: But you never had better.

However, Indy looked concerned.

Indy: Oh, I don't know. As a scientist, I don't want a prejudice in my experiment. I'll let you know in the morning.

He then closed the door behind the two. However, Willie frowned, opening the door.

Willie: Why you conceided aide! I'm not that easy!

Indy opened the door as he glanced at her.

Indy: I'm not that easy either. Sometimes, the trouble with you, Willie, is that I think you're too use to getting your own way.

Indy headed to his bedroom as Willie glared.

Willie: And you're just too proud to admit you're crazy about me, Indiana Jones!

Indy: If you want me, Willie, you know where to find me.

Willie: Five minutes! You'll be back over here in 5 minutes.

Indy: (smirks) Oh, you'll be asleep in 5 minutes.

Willie: Five, you know it. I know it.

With that, both doors closed while Indy went to his bed, looking at the clock. In her room, Willie also looked at the clock.

Willie: (smirks) Five minutes...

In his room, Indy put the alarm clock down.

Indy: Four and a half.

Sora: Whatcha doing?

Indy: Counting down the minutes. Don't ask.

Riku: We won't.

Willie took off her robe, revealing her pajamas and fixed her hair while Indy did the same. At both sides, they looked at their own faces before flopping onto their beds, anxiously waiting. In Willie's bed, she turned a bit before flopping onto the floor.

Willie: Whoa!

In Indy's room, he paced around a bit while the men were fast asleep.

Indy: Palace slave. Ha-ha-ha. Good one.

In Willie's room, she paced as well.

Willie: Nocturnal activities my foot.

Indy: I'm see you here?

Willie: I'll tell you in the morning?

Indy: I can't believe it.

Willie: He's not coming.

Indy: She's not coming. Oh, I can't believe I'm not going.

Just then, a couple of men in turbans grabbed the male sleepers, awakening them, and Indy, by the cloths, starting to choke them. They gasped in fear as they were choking, with Naruto hitting one to the wall. The candle stick fell down as it rolled before Indy grabbed a vase, hitting the one choking him.

Luigi: (choking) Mario!

Mario: Luigi!

He hit the other on the head before they were tossed to the ground, with the others along with them. All while an angry Willie came out, glaring.

Willie: Indiana Jones! (rolls her sleeves) This is one night you'll never forget! This is the night I slid right through your fingers!

All while unknown to her, the gang were being choked more inside.

Bobcat: (coughing) Gasping, almost dying...

Willie: (angrily) SLEEP TIGHT AND PLEASANT DREAMS, JERK! (frowns) I could've been your greatest adventure...

She then stomped toward her room while back inside, the others awoke, with the gang gasping.

Yoshi: Wah!

Ash: Indy, your whip!

He tossed it to Indy, who hit the foes, letting the gang go. The foes quickly ran, though Indy used the whip, grabbing one of them. The foe tossed the whip accidentally to the fan before he was pulled up and choked, breaking his neck, much to Chris and some of the heroes' fright and Luigi's fear.

Luigi: Ick.

Mr. Nervous: Eeeep! That doesn't look good!

Indy: Everyone, get the light switch!

Phage: (frowns) This was no mere trespassing. Someone is trying to kill us!

They turned the light switch while the Marios with Indy headed into Willie's bedroom. Indy first entered, much to her delight.

Willie: (grins) Oh Indy...

He walked over to her.

Willie: Oh, be gentle with me. Be gentle with me.

Indy: Uh-

At that moment, Luigi entered as well.

Luigi: Mario!

Willie: Huh?

Mario jumped to the bed, looking below, much to her's confusion. He then peeked up before looking around with Indy helping.

Willie: Guys, I'm here.

Luigi: We know that, but-(notices) guys, something wrong?

Mario: Just this little detail.

Indy: If there were two assassins...that means...

He kept looking around, much to Willie's annoyance and Luigi's confusion.

Mario: Hmmm, no one's here.

Willie: No, I'm here.

Indy: (frowns) Not you. You don't count.

Willie: Hey, Indiana, you're acting awfully strange.

Luigi: He's always like that whenever exploring and bothering people's rooms.

Indy: (annoyed) Luigi! You do whatever, Mario and I have to continue examining.

Willie: Everything?

Mario: Well, except you.

Luigi: (frowns) Mario, you have Peach, remember?

Mario: Not what I meant.

He looked at the statue, looking concerned.

Willie: (frowns) Anyway, I'm in need of privacy, Indy.

Indy: I think I found it, guys.

As the others arrived, she yelped as the statue moved, revealing a secret door. The group looked inside before Mario lit his fireball, looking at the ancient writing.

Mario: "Follow the footsteps of the Sankara."

Sailor Mercury: What does that mean?

As he spoke next, Yoshi, Short Round, and the four Griffins arrived to them with Indy looking at the cloth.

Indy: "Do not betray his truth." Short Round, Yoshi, Chris, Brian, Meg, Stewie, go get our stuff.

The dinosaur only looked more concerned before nodding. Willie only moaned in annoyance while the six headed out. Mario then noticed something inside it.

Mario: A tunnel?

Sailor Mars: I sense something down there.

Psycho Me too! Who wants to go first?
