Chapter 7: The Ancient Ruins and Bonding

Back at the Hollow Earth, The group continued to walk when Holly, Tyler, and Inja Chen stopped and saw Ben and Kira staring at an old ruin.

Holley: It's ruins.

Buck and the others saw the ruin as well.

Buck: Human civilization? Down here?

Tyler: Of course Buck, how do you think Simon's old lair were made and the cave paintings down here.

Laura: He told me he as another lair down here, but he doesn't use it that much.

Mike: Simon has another lair but he doesn't use it? That's weird.

Inja: Well to be fair Mikey, Simon protects the surface so he doesn't really need it.

Ling: But it did belong to a Kong that kicked Simon out when he was young, but then Tiamat came in and killed the ape and took the lair for herself. Then in 2020 Simon was going to get it back, until Tiamat attacked him but he managed to beat her and get that lair back.

Ben and Kira looked at another ruin and they realized that these belong to the Iwi, Ben's people.

Ben: *signs* "These are the symbols of my people!"

Kira: And they appear to be more older as well.

Tyler and Holley looked at the symbols and they were amused, their daughter and son were right. The symbols belonged to the Iwi and were much older.

Holley: The markings are older than the ones on Monster Island. Centuries older.

Tyler: Iwi were perhaps much older than we thought they were. It's amazing.

Then everyone turned their heads and saw the entirety of the ancient ruins.

Holley: But the architecture is consistent with the Iwi.

Ben and Kira stood and saw that the entire place was overgrown with vines and branches, perhaps something bad happened to the Iwi down here.

Ben: *signs* "What happened to them?"

Kira: Do you think something bad happened to them dad? like a Titan or another tribe?

Tyler: I don't know Kira, but I hope we'll find out soon.

Buck moved some hanging leaves out of the way, saw the entirety of the ruins. He and the others were amazed by this new discovery. Mikey took some pictures with his camera.

Mike: Oh, this is remarkable.

They then went on a staircase, Buck was confused that there was no moss on the stairs.

Buck: Now that's weird. There's no moss on these ones.

He then walked to a carving that had him amused by it.

Buck: Hello.

He moved the branches to show it to the others, Tyler, The Chens, Laura, Kira, Ben, and Mikey were shocked and amazed by it. A carving of what appears to be a rabbit with bat wings.

Holley: Mobil

Mike: The Giver of Life in Hollow Earth.

Holley: Her lineage must go back further then we initially thought.

Kira: This is awesome, I can't wait to tell Todd this news when this is over.

Holley turned to Ben, and her adopted son told him that this was a temple where the Iwi worshipped Mobil.

Ben: *signs* "This site was a temple...A place were they worshipped Mobil."

Holley: Yeah.

Then a small glowing dragonfly flew by and landed on a triangular stone that looked like a button, Ben saw this and went to press the stone.

Buck: No, no, no.

Ben pressed the stone and a stream of water poured down, everyone was shocked by this. Ben and Kira turned to see that the water was going down the stairs and followed it. Tyler and Holley followed their daughter and son and the other joined as well.

Mike: It's like some kind of a irrigation system. {Laughs} Only this predates everything Mesopotamians, the Lemurians...I mean, these guys were the first, man!

The group continued to follow the water.

Holley: Ben.

Tyler: Kira, slow down please

Mike: It keeps going.

Holley: Wait, wait, wait.

Mike: Oh, sorry.

The others stopped and saw that there was a wall in front of them, but it looked like it was made of silk.

Buck: Oh, whoa. What the..?

Kira and Ben looked at the silky wall in awe.

Buck: Now, that was a trip.

Mike: Great Mulder and Scully, look at that.

Laura: A silk wall.

Holley: What could have created this?

Mike: Ancient alien astronauts. Yeah.

Ling: Do you think Mobil build this wall sister?

Inja: Probably, if not it must've been her mother that built it.

Buck looked at the ground to see that the water was running underneath the wall.

Buck: Look at this here. The water's running underneath. And this organic. (He then pressed the wall with his finger, causing a blue crack to appear.) Yeah. (He presses his head on the wall.) Some kind of bioelectric hub.

He then presses the wall again, this time with his hands and a huge blue crack appeared on the wall. Everyone was amazed by this.

Holley: It's like camouflage. Wow.

Tyler: It's incredible.

Kira and Ben went up to the wall, and the two then opened up the wall causing an electricity to be heard.

Mike: Should they be doing that? They shouldn't be doing that, right? Should they...?

Holley, Tyler, and Inja were amazed and looked to their daughter and son, of which they told them that this was the place they saw in their dreams.

Ben: *signs* From me and Madison's dreams.

Holley: This must be the source of the signal.

Buck: Oh, we've gotta check this out.

Holley: Yeah.

Buck, the Chens, and Laura helped open it just a little bit until it was big enough for them to go through.

Holley: Okay. Go, go, go. Go.

Holley went first, then Buck, Tyler, the Chens, Ben, Kira, and Laura were now in the area. Mikey wasn't sure if he should go with them, but he went with them to go into the city.

In the Subterranean Realm, a group of Warbats flew and ate a flock of Hellhawks. Ruby and Earl watched the flock until they turned to their friends, Major and his kids.

Earl: Come on guys, let's go.

GreenScale didn't want to go with them, but since Ruby and Earl knew the way to the lava temple, she decided to go with them. The 7 Titans continued their walk to this lava temple that Ruby and Earl told them, a flock of colorful Hellhawks ate some Hollow Earth Grubs and flew with their foods. While the simblings and the others walked in the background, Ruby was talking to Earl.

Ruby: Brother?  I've been noticing 4 years ago, that you and Chelsea be more closer to each other.

Earl: Yeah, what's the problem?

Ruby: So I've been wondering, do you have a crush on her?

Earl: What? A crush? I-uh-

Ruby: It's ok, you can tell me

Earl: Ok, I do have a crush on her *blushes more*

Ruby: Well, tell me what she and you have been doing

Earl: Well she's lovingly when I first met her. Even being polite at times as well. She even just kissed me on my cheek.

Ruby: Yeah but did you enjoy it though?

Earl: Obviously yes.

The group went through some trees, before Kassie Jr and GreenScale moved some trees and showed the group a huge lake. A beautiful lake filled with fresh clean water. Earl, Ruby, Major, Doug and Jaxon were amazed by the lake and realized that they were thirsty and needed a drink and a quick bath to clean them.

Doug: Are you sure we can trust your kids?

Major: Well my kids will learn to survive like me and my wife, besides we need a drink and bath anyway.

Jaxon: Alright, if you say so then.

Ruby, Earl, Doug and Jaxon went into the water and cleaned themselves and drank it. But Kassie Jr and GreenScale stayed behind, as they began drinking water.

Then, a large ripple was seen in the water, and Major looked what was behind and realized that Earl would win in a fight against predators. Ruby, Earl, Doug and Jaxon looked at Major and were confused by his look until they turned as a huge shadow was casted behind them, while Ruby, Doug and Jaxon were horrified by it, Earl snarled at it. It was a large serpentine lake monster called a Drownviper, and it was ready to attack him.

Earl: Stand back, I'll handle this beast to myself.

The Drownviper hissed before attacking Earl, he grabbed the serpent with his claws as Ruby, Doug and Jaxon ran out of the lake, while Major just backs up and watched the fight. Earl flipped the serpentine but it got back up, it hissed at him and he roared at the beast. It launched itself at the Angry Beast before he went on martial arts, by kicking at it, pinned it down, and tried to use stomp on it with his foot. But it used it's tail to grab on Earl's arm and bites on his chest. Enraged, he knocks Drownviper down and punching at it in the head, but in response, the serpent bites him on the leg, and threw him into the water, before it went into the water in an attempted to drown him.

The Drownviper then bites on his leg, until Earl slashes on it with his claws, making it roared out in pain. This gives Earl to went full Martial Arts style to fight back. Earl then emerged from the water, as the sea serpent to land on his neck, but then, Ruby grabbed by the serpents neck, and straling it.

Ruby: Now!

Earl then nodded as he then slashed his claws on Drownviper's neck, killing it. Everyone cheered at his victory, and so were Kassie Jr and GreenScale.

Earl: Why did you do that? You could've died, trying to save me.

Ruby: That's what you do in a clan. You helped us for a good thing.

Earl: Well...Thanks.

Ruby: Anything for my brother.

Later on, the sunset came and everyone were eating the Drownviper's remains. Kassie Jr and GreenScale had never had this much food in their entire life and were happy to eat something that could share. GreenScale watched them eat, and walked to them just a little bit. Major turned to see his daughter, GreenScale whimpered and feeling down. Major soon tore a piece from the carcass and gave to his daughter for them.

Major: Surak, give your meal to your sister for share.

Kassie Junior: Sure thing.

Sure enough, he walked up to his sister and sat down next to GreenScale, and Ruby looked at them and was happy to know that Kassie Jr and GreenScale were now okay with her and all of them looked that the beautiful sunset sky knowing that they had become a family.

Norwegian island of Kvitøya, Crimson's Lair.

On the surface at the Norway, the submarine had arrived where Crimson's lair was. There was a lot of red energy around the area.

Shaw: We're entering Tiamat's domain, but something is off. Tiamat's energy is distorting our radar. We don't have a visual on Godzilla. Shaw turned to one of crew member.

Shaw turned to one of crew member.

Shaw: Take us forward, silent running...five knots.

Crew member: Yes sir.

(Play this at 1:26)

The sub was now on silent mode, turned on it's lights and was going into the lair. Then Simon's atomic breath shot and hit the icy lair, he was trying to get Crimson's attention. He continued to shoot his atomic breath, then from the bottom of the icy lair came out Crimson in his new form, he now has legs, frills, much longer then Tiamat, and a red glow to his body thanks to the radiation in his lair.

Name: Crimson the Baleful

Classification: Titanus Tiamat

Behavior: Territorial

Body Length: 1,082 Feet

Powers & Skills: Acid Ink Beam, Cyclonic Vortex, Constriction

Range: Seas Worldwide

Crimson: KHHHHSSSS!!

Simon: GRIYAAAGGHHHHH!!

Crimson charged at him and he did as well. Simon grabbed him with his claws but he swam away and shot his Acid Ink beam at Simon's face causing him to briefly be blind, but he was still able to see thanks to his thermo vision. Crimson then coiled her body on Simon and using his sharp titanium like scales to cut into Simon's skin. The King of all Titans with his regular vision back, he bit down on Crimson but he made sure that he didn't tear a piece of his skin off. Crimson felt this and Simon roared at him, Crimson then bit down on his head and covered him with his fins to blind him and started to activate his electrogenic cells in his body and started to boil the ocean and steam started to show up. Simon charged up himself before releasing a nuclear pulse to get Crimson off him, then he shot an atomic breath blast out of the water, cutting him into numerous chunks. After surfacing to throw one of his severed limbs aside, Simon then went into the lair. Ready to evolve and becoming more powerful then ever.

Shaw: He's going to Crimson's lair.

And with that Simon was now in the lair, ready for the threat of The Skar King, one of the most evil Titans to ever exist.
