Ollie exits the room equally quickly, standing a few feet away from the door. It's against the instincts of everyone watching not to run to Procopius' aid now that he's outnumbered four to one, the Yanmamon beginning to hiss and swarm as they circled the heavy winged dinosaur-dragon. Ollie snarled, his lip curling as he closed his eyes and sent up a silent prayer that this idea wouldn't get his brother killed for Ollie's own curiosity overreaching.
"Hands over your ears please and thank you, especially you Lothar I know how sensitive feline senses can be." Ollie said, clamping his hands down over his ears as Procopius pressing his back against the wall, eyes ticking back and forth as he waited for the Yanmamon to get close
"Teeth Grinder!" Procopius called and almost instantly his voice was drowned out as he dragged his wings and his arms down the metal plates of his center mass. The SOUND that was produced, echoed back and forth upon itself by the small chamber was one of the most deeply unpleasant things that Ollie could imagine As he ducked down and gritted his teeth even with his hands over his ears.
The sound that the Yanmamon made was equally drowned out but watching their writhing, jerking body language as they jumped and sputtered away from Procopius in all directions showed that it wasn't exactly fun for them either. They bowled one another over, desperate to find any means of escape when their only useful sense was blinded by the seemingly endless cacophony of noise!
"Be ready! We guessed that without their hearing they wouldn't be able to find their way back to the hole in the ceiling they came in from. Which means there's only one exit on ground level." Ollie said, gently placing his hand on Circe's chest and pushing her back behind her two guardians as the quartet of albino insects rolled and stumbled over one another toward the doorway where Ollie and the trio were standing. They had been at a disadvantage on the Yanmamon's open ground, split up and attacked piecemeal but now the bugs were blind and being herded in an abject panic toward a choke point where they would run headfirst into Mandrake and Lothar one or two at a time.

Ollie exited the room shortly after Mandrake and his family and suggested everyone to cover their ears before apologizing to Lothar about knowing how sensitive his feline senses were. Lothar then said "Apparently my senses aren't as sensitive as our "friends" in the other room given hearing seems to be the only way they can find their way around." With that said Lothar, Mandrake, and Circe covered their ears before Procopius let out a cacophonous racket with one of his abilities. As the sound echoed back and forth it could be barely physically felt by Mandrake and his family so one could only imagine how miserable it was making the Yanmamon.
Apparently the sound had stopped as Ollie was now speaking so Mandrake and his family ceased covering their ears. When Ollie touched Circe the timid spider child squeaked and dove behind Mandrake apparently not enjoying being touched by most others. She was now clinging to Mandrake's cape and snuggled firmly into the Wizardmon's back as if glued to him. Then here came the panicking Yanmamon about to run head first into Mandrake and Lothar causing the pair to step back to avoid being crashed into. Mandrake made the known gesture with his finger that indicated he was hinting at the group to remain silent. Lothar nodded and since Circe was smothered in Mandrake's cape it seemed silence was gonna be easy enough for her. As the Yanmamon scurried by Lothar nodded at Mandrake before silently moving behind them before the Leomon began punting the blind bugs like soccer balls. With luck that would knock them out so they would be out of their hair.
Mandrake, in an effort to remain quiet, then telepathically said "Perhaps there might be a secret exit at ground level if we look back in the other room, Ollie."

WHACK. THUMP. WHACK. THUMP. WHACK. THUMP. One after another the insectoid guardians were walloped from behind by Lothar's impressive strength and sent sailing a short distance up the stairs they had come from. Each of their heavy bodies making a loud smack against the stone where they landed and letting out a hissing groan as they rolled down the stairs to a stop near the group but didn't get up to menace them any longer. "Well. That's my heart attack moment for the day taken care of." Ollie said, the sound of his voice not rousing the defeated guardians so he let out a sigh and returned to his normal speaking voice. "Sorry to hoist that all upon you. Procopius and I figured that your combat experience probably out stripped our own, not to mention your power levels. Herding them toward you in a blind panic was the best plan we could come up with on short notice. I apologize for shoving you as well, Circe, I wanted to make sure you were behind somebody when they barreled through." He said, standing back up to his full height and having to readjust his glasses so that they would fit correctly after being knocked slightly ajar by all the excitement.
"I'm no...what was his name again Ollie? The strategist guy." Procopius said, trying to make use of the knowledge passed to him by his human partner.
"Sun Tzu." Ollie said without trying to continue Procopius' statement. If his partner had something to say then Ollie wanted his partner to say it without getting talked over.
"That's the one. I'm no Sun Tzu but I took a look at what and who we had and what we knew about the bad guys and came up with a plan that was better than nothing. Everyone's limbs still attached and whatnot." He said, shrinking down to his more comfortable Rookie form.

Once again Lothar's strength had come through as one by one the Yanmamon were punted up the stairs the group came down when they entered these ruins. While an impressive sight Mandrake knew that his fiancé was holding back his strength. After all if he didn't those dragonflies would definitely be in worse shape than they now were in. Looking back at the group, Lothar said "That should hopefully keep them out of our hair long enough to escape from here. Perhaps if the hole in the ceiling they came out of is big enough we can use it to possibly get outside. Mandrake and I have a Grapple Gun we can take turns climbing while Circe can use her magical webs or climb the walls to get to the hole."
When Ollie apologized to the group about herding the group of Yanmamon in a blind panic their way, Lothar said "Don't worry about it, Ollie. Mandrake and I knew what the plan was when the Yanmamon came our way and since I was the more effective close range fighter it was logical I took care of our "friends" back there." When Lothar said the word friends he jerked his thumb back in the direction of where the Yanmamon landed.
When Ollie then apologized to Circe the anxious and timid girl peaked out from behind Mandrake and quietly, but still audibly, said "It's okay."
"For a plan that was improvised on your part, Procopius, it was certainly effective given you had the forethought to use the Yanmamon's weakness against them since you had an ability that made a lot of noise. The closest I have to such an ability would of likely brought the ruins down on our heads. After all an ability that drops flaming meteors should not be used everywhere." Mandrake said as he returned to other room where the hole in the ceiling the Yanmamon came from was and looked up at that hole as if seeing if it was big enough for their needs. Circe was now clinging to Mandrake's hand instead of his cape. As for Lothar he had followed Mandrake and Circe into the room not knowing if Ollie and Procopius would follow.

"I'm not sure of how dropping a meteor shower works, logistically, when we're standing indoors and underground. Honestly that's one question that I'm glad to never have an answer to." Ollie said. He was curious about Mandrake's abilities, he was curious about everything all the time. But the dropping of flaming meteors was one experiment that would most likely wait until they were above ground and at a safe distance.
"I don't know if that's our way out, by itself." Procopius said, craning his head to look up the shaft. "We're deep underground but not so deep that we wouldn't see daylight coming down the shaft if that's where this thing led. Plus, if it's where those things came from I don't think they've seen the sun in quite a while." Procopius said, tapping his foot as he tried to mentally roll the problem around. His head searching back and forth as he took in the room.
"Counterpoint. There is literally zero other exit to this room that isn't blocked by a pile of napping yanmamon and giant stone blocks. So if there IS a way out it has to be somewhere up there. At the very least getting closer to the surface is probably a good plan in general." Ollie said. The way the two of them bounced ideas back and forth like a game of verbal tennis was very obviously a ritual between the pair of brothers and on this round, Procopius had to concede the point
"Can't argue with you there. Someone's gonna have to help me up, though. Probably you, big guy." He said, turning and looking up at Lothar. "I keep myself in the best shape that I can but there only so much climbing I can do in a body with no elbows." He said, wagging his stubby arms in the open air as he and Ollie stood underneath the hole, peering up into the ink darkness above them as they waited for the others to find a plan of attack to get all five of them up the hole. Well, four of them, since the only thing that Circe had to do to get up was approach one of the chamber walls and start walking generally upward.

"Well, Ollie, my abilities are magical in nature so such things follow a different sense of logic. I can tell you are inquisitive about everything around you. I am also a lot like that in many ways." Mandrake said with a friendly chuckle.
Circe looked nervous to speak her mind for a moment as she stood there her fingers twirling before she, to Procopius, quietly, but audibly, asked "Uhm but we heading down a creepy tunnel to get here so shouldn't going up eventually allow us to reach the surface?" Right there she was showing how she was much more like Mandrake than her Arukenimon mother. Not just cause of Circe's gentle and kind nature but also because of how astute the young spider child was.
"I wouldn't be surprised if those Yanmamon have always lived here which explains why they seemed not to happy with us in their territory." Mandrake stated before Ollie made a very good counterpoint regarding there being no other way out that wasn't blocked.
"Fair enough, Procopius. Not all digimon are natural climbers by design. I can help you out there." Lothar said as he removed the bag on his back before digging around in it reaching into the Infinity-Store in the bag and removing the Grapple Gun before putting his bag onto his back again. Looking up the Leomon narrowed his brown eyes taking aim before firing the line securing it in place for the others to climb. Circe, meanwhile, fired magical silk threads for the same purpose. Lothar looked over at Ollie before looking back at Procopius before he asked "How does Ollie do when it comes to climbing? If necessary I can also carry him too."

"I can do my best. I won't lie to you and say that I'm some kind of athlete in the making, because you seem to have a pair of working eyes." Ollie said, gesturing down at his scrawny young body as the line was shot up into the dark. He paused for a moment just to make sure that they weren't waking up anything else that might happen to have been living up there. When the quiet prevailed he continued on with his train of thought. "I can take my time. I'll get up there eventually. Just make sure you hold onto Procopius, he's ticklish." Ollie said, cinching the straps of his backpack tighter to his shoulders and triple checking that everything was zipped up tight.
"Just tell everyone you meet about all my little embarrassments, Ollie why don't you?" He said, standing close to Lothar to allow the large feline digimon to grab hold of him without too much trouble. He squirmed a little trying to find a comfortable way to rest his weight but didn't want to disturb Lothar's climbing especially when they started to get higher off the ground.
"And yes, Circe, you make a point. Like I said, moving upward is at least some kind of progress unlike either waiting here to starve to death or trying to blast our way out and getting met with a few hundred tons of sand trying to fill the hole we make." Ollie said as he began to softly climb up her threads behind her. He didn't gain on her too fast and gave the shy arachnid plenty of breathing room to get comfortably to the top ahead of him just so that she wasn't crowded.

"Don't worry, Ollie. I am not exactly the athletic type either." Mandrake said before lightly chuckling before he then said "But I'm sure, like myself, that you do well enough to get by."
At Procopius and Ollie's exchange regarding the small machine digimon being ticklish Lothar said "Don't worry, Procopius. I won't try to tickle you on purpose." Lothar then reached down and gently grabbed ahold of Procopius before hoisting the machine digimon towards his back which was a silent hint to hang on. Looks like Procopius was likely to end up with a piggyback ride from this. Then Lothar began climbing up the rope with Mandrake following a short time later after telekinetically lifting his staff and putting it in the Infinity Store in Lothar's bag before sealing the bag afterward. Climbing was much easier with two hands after all.
As for Circe, she was climbing with excellent proficiency but was not going at max speed trying to keep Lothar in sight since she knew Mandrake was right behind the Leomon. As for Ollie, the inquisitive teen would notice that upon touching Circe's super strong silk that it wasn't sticky, or rather not grossly sticky since it was just sticky enough so that a climber wouldn't easily fall, as the purpose of this strand was for climbing not catching food.

"Yea, yea, yea, rub it in why don't you?" Procopius said as he was lifted up onto the back and shoulders of the towering lion digimon. He was mostly joking, especially since the reality was he wasn't getting up there without the Leomon's help so he had best be nice.
Ollie did indeed make an admirable showing for himself on the way up, especially using Circe's webbing rather than an actual rope he was able to rest his weight upon it and hoist himself up a little at a time even with his heavy pack on. He grunted and huffed a little bit toward the latter half of the climb but he did manage to finally pull himself over the lip of the shaft at the top and roll over onto his back, panting and only a little bit red in the face.
"Gym class...who needs it?" Ollie said to no one in particular as he rolled over onto all fours and then shoved himself to a stand.
It wasn't immediately obvious what kind of space they were in until Mandrake got the lights up and running again. When the room was lit up again Ollie let out a shocked gasp at what he was seeing rows upon rows of coffin sized drawers, stacked up on one another and leading forward in a cramped, dark hall, large enough that even standing at his regular height Lothar would have to scrunch his shoulders in.
"This is it. This is the catacombs. Whatever civilization these ruins are from. These is where they buried their kings."

Procopius' words didn't bother Lothar at all. In fact as Procopius was moved onto Lothar's back the Leomon had an amused smile on his face. While the group was climbing Mandrake made note of the strong showing Ollie was managing especially when climbing with a heavy backpack on. Looks like the teen was stronger than he initially appeared at first glance.
Little by little Lothar was the first to pull himself over the lip of the shaft while seating himself on the floor before gently setting Procopius down on the floor. Now that Lothar and Procopius had made it up Circe cautiously followed not liking how dark the room was but remained where she stood. She was soon followed by Ollie hoisting himself over the lip of the shaft as well clearly tired from the climb. Mandrake was right behind breathing deeply as he said "That was a tougher climb than I'd thought it would be but you handled it amazingly well, Ollie." Mandrake took note of how dark it was being barely able to see anything and used a weak version of his Thunder Ball attack to light the room just as Lothar was standing up. As the coffin sized drawers in a cramped hall came into sight Lothar knew he would have to duck a bit to fit while everyone else didn't seem to have that problem. Circe didn't enjoy the unsettling sight and squeaked in fright as she scrambled for Mandrake tugging hard on the magicians artificial left arm before squeezing it hard enough that a soft squeak was heard. Yup there would definitely be a dent to work out later but that was the least of Mandrake's worries at this time. "Perhaps we should make our way out of these catacombs and avoid touching anything to be respectful to the remains of these kings." Mandrake said. Sure it was possible that these were just creepy decorations to drive away intruders or these ruins could of been pulled out of another world through a Digital World anomaly. Either way it was better to be safe than sorry.
Lothar then seemed to be trying to lighten the mood as he said "It seems me being tall is finally proving to be a disadvantage, huh Mandrake?"
"Indeed, old friend." Mandrake said with an amused glint in his eyes as he used his telekinesis to lift the Grapple Gun and return it to the Infiniti Store in Lothar's bag.

"If it's just between you and I, I'd prefer to not have to handle it so well next time." Ollie said, flopping onto his back with his arms unrolling around him, propped up on the massive bulging backpack he carried. It supported his lower lumbar if nothing else as he dragged himself up from the floor and did his best to not look too red in the face in front of mixed company.
"I don't know. The climb was fairly easy for me." Procopius said with a knowing smirk sparkling past his face and through the gaze of his eyes as he slipped off Lothar's back and his plastic feet clopped the sandstone floor. Ollie's head jerked to face his digital brother, staring daggers at him directly and snarling before they both broke the charade and shared a grin together.
"Honestly Circe, I'm right there with you. I'm not the kind of man who believes in magic or curses. If I was though, this would be the sight that made me believe it." Ollie said. The room was steeped in a heavy feeling. Death was not quite the right sensation, more like an indescribable weight and seriousness that came with a room so full of history and importance.
"Just in case there DOES happen to be a pissed off Mummymon hidden in one of these I second the proposal of not touching anything- Ollie!" Procopius said, not even having to turn around in order to catch his partner in the act of starting to press a page of paper up against one of the coffins in order to do a pencil rubbing of the writing there. Ollie grumbled a little but set the pencil down anyway and stuffed his hands in his pockets.
Every single one of the coffins had something written on the foot-ward side, in a dialect of the digital writing system that read like trying to decode it with a golf ball in each cheek. After a few moments of heavy staring the digimon might be able to decipher that each of the messages began with a classical epitaph, the monuments of a king, their deeds and other such overinflated royal nonsense, especially since multiple kings were attributed to the construction of the same monuments or great victories several decades or centuries apart.
Just beneath the epitaphs would read endless curses, warnings and powers of the gods called upon all those who would disturb these tombs at rest...like the unlucky quintet marching through and pumping coffins with their shoulders every time they turned their heads.

Mandrake knew Ollie was going to be fine so he said nothing to Ollie's words but when Procopius spoke up about it being easy for him, Mandrake turned to look at Ollie's digimon brother before the magician sarcastically said "Of course your climb was easy, Procopius, considering you were getting a piggyback ride from Lothar." Mandrake's sarcasm wasn't nasty. More like mischievous and playful so Circe quietly giggled but said nothing but her quiet giggles grew louder as Ollie was snarling at his brother before the pair stopped and grin which made it obvious it was merely a charade.
Circe looked at Ollie blinking in confusion when the teen mentioned not believing in magic or curses while Mandrake seemed to pick up on the young ones' confusion and it didn't take a telepath to understand why Circe was so confused so Mandrake said "Strange you should say that you don't believe in magic or curses, Ollie, seeing as you have been spending time with Circe and myself as our very nature is magical."
When Procopius mentioned the possibility of a pissed off Mummymon being hidden in one of the tombs, Circe didn't like the sound of that at all but when the lego dinosaur called out to Ollie, Circe dove behind Mandrake. Mandrake, with Circe clinging to his back, walked up to Ollie and said "I understand your excitement and respect your enthusiasm to learn but we need to be careful, Ollie." Mandrake's tone was kind and gentle so as not to make the young man uncomfortable. Then Mandrake caught sight of the writing on the tombs and leaned forward a bit squinting for a better look. The multilingual magician noticed what was written before he said "Looks like these words start with a classical epitaph before going into tons of overinflated nonsense like monuments of a king, their various deeds, and sure seems long winded and unnecessary to me. Hold on according to these tombs multiple kings seem to be attributed to the construction of the same monuments or some kind of great victory only decades or centuries apart. How strange."
"Looks like your knowledge of ancient digimon languages is coming in handy, Mandrake." Lothar said.
"Hold on there seems to be more." Mandrake stated before he continued "Something about endless curses, warnings regarding gods being called upon those who disturb the tombs."
"I am not liking this r-room even more. Let's go. Sooner w-we get to the surface the better." Circe said sounding more frightened and more eager to move on but refused to release her grip on Mandrake.

"In human monarchs that was actually rather common behavior, ESPECIALLY in ancient Egypt which is what these tombs are reminding me of most specifically." Ollie said as Mandrake noticed the impossible discrepancies in dates. "The pharaoh, or equivalent in this case, would often take credit for the monuments and achievements of their predecessors. Most peasantry at the time had no idea how to read and their only window into history would be the sermons given by priests and temples. It's not like anybody would be able to investigate these tombs to match up the dates." Ollie said, obviously frustrated by the practice. One of the many subtle ways that the people of the past frustrated the simple desire for truth in future historians.
"Oh for sure. What kind of idiots would wander face first into a tomb when every one of the coffins is covered in curses and warnings!" Procopius said, equally frustrated but for a...different reason. From his perspective their biggest problem right this second was getting OUT of the crammed tight tomb they had wandered into. "We can worry about matching up the written words to archeological evidence when we AREN'T crammed shoulder to shoulder surrounded by dead people!" Procopius said. It was ironic that Circe was the one who was least comfortable with this situation considering she was the only one who could comfortably maneuver. Even Ollie, small for a human as he was had his shoulders and his arms crammed up against his sides, softly disturbing dust from the feet of the coffins with every step he had to make.
The group was basically forced to shove themselves forward single file as they passed seemingly endless rows of kings. It reached a point where backing up and out toward the entrance wasn't really possible as the way they came in vanished in the all consuming dark. One step forward, a little bit at a time. They could only imagine how uncomfortable it was for Lothar's hulking animal frame.
"I think...I can see...someth- WOAH!" Ollie said as he suddenly lost his footing and took a tumble down a heavy ramp of sand, kicking up plumes of it as he rolled head over heels for a long stretch before flopping onto his back, separated from the group but able to see Mandrake's light as he waved and called up to them from about a story or two below them. "Over here! Watch your step before you..." He froze as Mandrake's light illuminated him from above and the entire group caught sight first of the desiccated, grey fleshed hand that was grasping onto his right shoulder.
And then the full body of the blank eyed, drooling Mummymon came into view.

Mandrake took in the information provided by Ollie regarding rulers of ancient Egypt and, like the rulers mentioned on the tombs they were near, also took credit for the acheivements of previous rulers. Then Procopius began sounding frustrated but who could blame him really given the group was crammed in a narrow hallway filled with coffins. Sure Mandrake, Circe, Ollie, and Procopius were much shorter than Lothar but somehow the Leomon was keeping patient and stoic though he was definitely not comfortable. Then Lothar said "At least the rest of you have more elbow room than I do." Sure Circe was shorter than both Ollie and Mandrake, with said Wizardmon being fairly short for a champion level digimon at four foot tall, but Circe was three foot three so not that much smaller than her shorter caretaker.
"Then let's think more about what we learned about these tombs while we try to get out of these cramped quarters." Mandrake said as the group made their way in a single file line with Circe still clinging to Mandrake as the Wizardmon's light allowed them to see where they were going. Lothar meanwhile was considering dedigivolving to his rookie form for the sake of not being as cramped as he was. Ollie was at the front of the group and mentioned seeing something before loosing his footing and taking a tumble down what looked like a ramp of sand plumes of sand being kicked up as the teen rolled head over heels before falling onto his back. Mandrake carefully made his way to where Ollie tumbled from and braced himself as he shined his improvised light down where Ollie took his tumble finding the teen and unfortunately potentially more trouble at the sight of a Mummymon clutching Ollie's shoulder. "This trip continues to get better and better." Mandrake said with a tone laced with sarcasm before he glanced over his shoulder at Circe with a look that clearly indicated the child to stay where she was and Circe whimpered before releasing Mandrake before moving back so Procopius could follow. Then Mandrake slid down the ramp while remaining on his feet with Lothar following right behind relieved at the prospect of more room. Upon coming to a stop Mandrake said "All right, Mummymon. Let that young man go. We are just trying to get out of these ruins and mean no disrespect." Lothar moved with caution before getting to Mummymon and Ollie and gently snatched the teen hoping that Mandrake had distracted the other digimon enough for him to move Ollie out of potential danger.

The moment Lothar's hand grabbed hold of Ollie and started to pull him gently away from the undead Digimon warrior the Mummymon sparked to life. Lothar was able to extricate Ollie physically from the threat but the sound of shredding leather made Ollie's eyes go wide as a sudden weight was lifted away from his back. "NO!" Procopius shouted as he looked up and saw that the Mummymon had torn Ollie's backpack free of his back and was waving it around as it moaned and snarled like an animal, removing a hooked golden crook from the flesh of its desiccated back and beginning to swing it like a powerful weapon in wide, potently hostile arcs.
"No! No! Give it back! Give it back!" Ollie pulled against Lothar's grip as the Mummymon's unequipped hand swayed and clawed in the air, sending unattached papers and pencils flying from the zippers and openings that were scattered all over the sandy ground. The mummymon made no move to speak, it only continued to attack with the crook and flail that were so stereotypical in art of mummies from Egypt. It's long and lanky limbs seemed to move without joins, a soft crackling from beneath its grey skin seeming to show that not even it's own bones could stop its motions anymore. It was just a grey skinned bag of dust and malice seeking to annihilate intruders. There was no intention behind it's dull moon shine eyes, no hatred, just a construct lashing out in alignment with its programming.
"My brother said. Give. It. BACK!" Procopius rushed forward, digivolving as he ran. Raptordramon RAMMED its head and neck into the side of the Mummymon's body, sending the creature stumbling and sprawling to one side. A cloud of sand and dust, undisturbed perhaps for a thousand years was kicked up around it as the arm clutching the backpack was waving and lashing out in the air like the undead guardian meant to use it as a weapon.
"Stop! STOP! Please! That's everything I have!" Ollie squealed and screamed, his face puffed up red, his voice crackling and breaking as he ran past Lothar like he was going to physically jump up and try to grab the backpack from the Mummymon's hands, only succeeding in getting himself within arm's reach of the beast that brought its hand down toward the sobbing young man.
"AMBUSH CRUNCH!" Procopius' head swung down hard, teeth locking around the Mummymon's wrist and holding, tugging like a dog with its teeth around a bit of knotted rope, locking the Mummy's arm in space and keeping it from swinging the backpack around any further.
