A couple of machete slashes are seen as you cut through different layers of foliage to move towards your intended target. You had glanced down to a small map as you saw some matching statues. You smirked and cut down a few more vines and continued onward. Behind you, you heard a female groan and turned around to see the Pro Hero X, your partner for the expedition, currently pulling a boat out of a slight puddle of mud.
X: See? This is why I prefer urban environments.
(Y/N): No one said you had to come along either.
X: Screw off, would you? You said you needed assistance. And I am the one who can control X-rays and clear the path for you.
(Y/N): Yeah, yeah. Just keep moving. We're almost there.
You slashed a few more times and finally came across a small jungle road. You smiled and continued onward with your hunt. You smiled as you eventually found a large pit at the end of the road. You smiled as you saw X walking up next to you. She looked down into the pit as well and peered over to you.
X: Yeah, yeah.
As she moved to lift you, you took a step back.
(Y/N): It was a smile of joy. We found the tomb! That's why we're here in the first place! Now come on.
You took off your backpack and took out a grabbling hook. You mounted it onto a rock and extended the line down into the tomb. You looked over to X and reached out to her. She looked at you and placed her hand on her hip in a sassy pose.
X: X-ray manipulation.
(Y/N): You are aware that x-rays aren't powerful enough to make you fly, right?
X: Shut up. I never said I would use my quirk for it.
(Y/N): Just figured I'd offer you a hand.
You leaped down from the side of the pit and slowly descended downward into the tomb. X leapt down behind you, flipped forward, and landed on her feet as you made a slow decline down. X looked around the main chamber, she peered at the walls and four doorways leading from the massive pit. You took out a flashlight and held it in your mouth as you tightened the rope around a different rock in order to secure it. Once it was done, you looked over to X and saw her still looking around.
On that front, you decided to check to make sure your equipment was still secured. Your food rations were fine, plenty of medical supplies, and your weapons were still armed in case of any unwanted attention. You stood back up and looked back over to X who then pointed southbound.
X: That way will most certainly lead us to death the fastest. (Points North) Safest, but the longest. (West) That way will is also good. (East) Dead in with a massive pit that will drop about 900 meters or about 3,000 feet if we round. Each pathway will lead us down to the main tomb.
(Y/N): We stick to the safest option and we move down from there. You want point?
X: Sure.
You handed her a flashlight and she began to walk to the north passage. As you two walked, there was a slight breeze coming in from the walls. You would check it out every few moments but not that often. Still, you were curious about what was to come from it. After a few more minutes of walking, X stopped herself and stretched a little, and yawned slightly.
(Y/N): Gettin' tired?
X: Little bit. I mean, we have been walking for several hours now.
(Y/N): X, it's only been 20 minutes.
X: WHAT?!
You could feel some pebbles fall onto your head. You glare at the pro hero.
(Y/N): Keep your voice down. We don't know what else could be down here!
X: Oh please. I already scanned the place.
(Y/N): I meant the integrity of the walls.
X: Oh you worry too much.
You looked at her unamused as you slowly peered your head upwards. You then pointed up, getting X to follow you. When she did, she saw the numerous red eyes currently looking down at you both. She gulped and slowly saw the eyes move around the black void above you both.
X: What...what is that?
(Y/N): Well, whatever the hell it is, you woke it up.
X raised her arm and fired off her quirk. You rolled your eyes and pulled a handgun from your backpack and fired upward. After a few more seconds, a giant bug fell from the ceiling and landed behind you both. You slowly took a few steps back from the corpse.
(Y/N): Ok...that's not right.
X: Can we please go.
(Y/N): Not yet. We can do this!
You walked past her as X shuddered and continued to follow you. The main pathway was pretty straightforward. Although it did take about 3 more hours of walking. Something X wasn't that big of a fan of. Still, she reluctantly followed you down deeper into the tomb. Finally, though, you both arrived at a large centralized chamber. You smiled as you walked into the chamber and looked around. A massive smile formed on your face as you turned back to face your partner.
(Y/N): We did it!
X: Great. Get your artifacts and let's get out of here. Please. This place gives me the creeps.
(Y/N): Relax will you.
X: Hey, we just saw a giant beetle. Sorry for freaking out so much.
(Y/N): Says the woman dressed like a honeybee.
You heard X pout as she followed behind you. You climbed up a pile of gold, taking photos every so often. Once you made it to the middle of the tomb, you smile and lightly touched a small ring with your gloved hand. Your smiled widen even more as you looked it over.
(Y/N): This is what we came here for.
X: A ring? You know bartering it off will get you arrested.
(Y/N): Oh hell no. All this is going into the museum. I plan on duplicating this. Making it into an engagement ring.
You smiled down at X as you smiled a bit more. X looked up at you and slowly began to realized what it was you meant. A blushed form on her face as she blushed a little Her blush grew as she tried to gather herself at the words. You walked down to her and took her hand in with yours.
X: I love you.
(Y/N): I love you too.
You both leaned in and kissed one another. It was a worthwhile treasure hunt.
