Toboe squeaked as the car turned sharply and her face smashed against Marcus.
"Oh dear!" He yelped as he collided with the door.
The German swearing was getting fainter and fainter as Marion drove faster and faster. But everyone knew that wasn't the last time they would see Heidrich.
Toboe adjusted herself in her seat and a loud sickening POP was heard as she pulled her shoulder back into place. "Oh dammit! I'm a mess!"
"Heavens, child! What ever did you do to yourself!?"
Marcus only got a glimpse of it, but the scar on that same shoulder seemed to have opened... yet the blood he saw... was it really blood at all? The golden bracelet on Toboe's left wrist pulsated, the crystals blinking on and off. She hit it against the back of the seat, swearing.
"Wait," Marcus said in awe, "Let me see that...." He gasped as he took a closer look at the artifact on the girl's arm. "This... Indiana! She has the Band of Seth!"
Seth, the Ancient Egyptian God of Chaos, represented everything that threatened harmony in Egypt. His powers were rumored to be concealed in a band when Horus had battled him after he had killed his own brother, Osiris. How Toboe got was unknown... that is until she pulled it away from Marucs.
"Yes, the Band of Seth. My grandfather found this in 1938 in a dig in Egypt. I don't remember the whole story entirely, but it was sure as hell as amazing as today was! Dam* Pops, I never knew you really had it in you!" She tried to bring the subject of the bracelet to an end before getting chewed out over something else.

Marion looked at three sitting in the back seat and slowed the car down a bit since they lost sight of their pursuers. "So where are we going exactly? Now that we lost those Nazis back there," she said, driving the car out of the alley and into an open street.

Indiana, having loaded his revolver, was examining his shoulder. "Only a flesh wound..." He mumbled and holstered his weapon.
After glancing out the back to make sure no one was following he called up, "Marion... I need you to get us to the Airport... we're heading to London...."
Upon hearing the mention of the Band of Seth, Indy's head whipped about to look. "Now hang on a minute.. Let me see that..."
(( aaand I just googled that... and you just got my official... 0.o Whuuuut? Band of Seth? That's a new one to me... and google and wiki apparently.. n.n; care to explain? ))

((I just invented it, sorry about the meaningless reasearch. ^^; I don't know much about mystical Egyptian objects... I don't think anyone does... LOL, I should have warned you I do stupid s*** like that!))
Toboe hesitated but thrust out her arm in reluctance. "Look, all I did was touch it and put it on! I thought it was harmless and didn't work! Did I know I could do something like this? Noo... I don't even know how to use it!" She was still covering the wound on her right arm, embarrassed.

(( Well I can make up Sh*t Too you know... :3 Let's make this interesting... ))
Indiana's eyebrow twitched, "Use it? What do you mean?" His curiosity was growing, along with his annoyance. "You're acting like it's some kind of weapon..." After a few short moments, the archaeologist sighed, "...I don't believe it... It's genuine... the make of the band... dates back to Ramses the Second... It even bears his name on the side..." In wonder he continued to examine the piece, "The silver lining the side is about the same age, but it was added later... you can tell from the amount of tarnish... But look at the inside of the band..." At this Indy gently guided Toboe to turn her arm over, "... there.. See? It's barely worn... meaning..." He looked up at Toboe, eyes gravely serious, "You might be the first person to ever wear this thing..."
He sat there in silence and then looked to Marcus, "Keep an eye on her..." With a great effort, Indy climbed into the front seat, and plopped next to Marion, wincing when his shoulder jarred. "'scuse me..." He grunted and forced a smile before digging beneath the seat.
(( +w+ Marion Indy Time~!! ))

((Squee~!))
Tracie blinked. The first person to wear the Band of Seth... AWESOME!! She giggled and cradled it with glee. She still wanted to know how to use it, but since no scroll came with the thing... it was basically useless... except for how it made her travel back in time. She remembered the last thing she thought about when she put it on... her grandfather. It turned out when she put the thing on, it was exactly ten years ago... Indiana had passed away in her time...
A tear trickled down her face and she wiped it away quietly. Marcus however, noticed her tear and gave her a hug.
"There, there, dear. We'll be alright. The Nazis are gone. Good work though on fighting them off! Though you did injure yourself..."
"It doesn't hurt..." She admitted, "Deka doesn't hurt.."
"Deka? What is that!?"
"N-Nothing, nevermind..."

Indy pulled out a First Aid kit and, removing his shirt, began cleaning up his wound. Looking up at Marion he smiled weakly, "You.. might want to look away for this..." The blood was still sticky and a good amount of it dried onto his shirt so that on removing the cloth it bled anew. "Hngh!... Guh... Just a flesh wound..." He growled through clenched teeth. He had been lucky, the bullet had just grazed his shoulder leaving a mostly clean gash.

Marion kept staring forward but grinned and peeked at him from the corner of her eye every now and then. "So, Jones...I don't know why I bother hanging around you when all you do is get us into a mess," she said in a sarcastic tone. "So tell me exactly why we're going to London."

"Well excuse me for wanting to share the fun..." He grumbled. "The Lance isn't in a single piece... Now the Spearhead... That's in a Museum in Germany. I'm not going after that... that's already hopeless.. They probably have it... But!"
Indy glanced back towards Marcus and Toboe, but quickly returned to his wound. "For the shaft of the spear... No one really knows why they were separated, but according to legend the shaft came into possession of Joseph of Arimathea, an early christian missionary... same guy who buried Christ.
He traveled to England, bearing vessels of Christ's blood, and on arriving, planted his staff, and from that grew the Holy Thorn.....
Now they don't have flights that go straight to Glastonbury.. uh-That's where the thorn is... So we fly to London.. and then figure something out. That's where We'll find the Thorn and Heidrich's people... and maybe stop them... I dunno."

"Great," she said, getting closer to the airport. "What do we do once we get to London? It's possible Heidrich's henchmen are waiting for us there, too."

Toboe shrugged, "Why not call your dad? Maybe he's got something." She leaned forward and stole a bandage to cover up the gash on her shoulder.
"Dr. Jones? Has he recovered from your last escapade?" Marcus asked.
"I missed the Grail Mission!? Dammit!" Tracie cursed.

Marion nodded. "Thta's right. How is your father? It's been awhile since I've seen the old man."

"Whoa! Whoa...whoa... Wait a second..." Indy broke in, "Hang on a sec... Marion...? You don't seriously believe her story do you?... She is not my granddaughter!" His voice was low, but grave and sharp, Jones leaned forward, to emphasize his point, "I don't have children..."
Indy glanced at Toboe and the band about her wrist. Four symbols caught his eye... And it all clicked. "Stop the car..." He mumbled.

Toboe's heart lurched. Was she in trouble? What was going on now? Did Indiana finally believe her? She didn't know weather to be afraid or joyful at this revelation. "Indy?" She asked timidly. Marcus eyed his best friend, "What is going on?" ((I changed Heidrich's character a bit 'cause I'm a lazy ass. ))

Marion suddenly stopped the car and blinked. "What's wrong?" she asked and looked back at Toboe. She shrugged a little. "I never said I believed she was your granddaughter but well..." she said and looked back at him. "Look at her. She does have a lot of your features. Maybe she's related to you anyway. Somehow..."
