Shorty Junior and Emily's daughter peeked around the edge of the chamber.

The wicked priest from the Temple of Doom chanted holding the swords over his horned headdress eyes wild.

Emily's daughter spoke, "Sure is taller when he gets close."

"I'm not afraid!" Shorty's Junior declared.

"Didn't say I was scared," she countered. "Just said he was taller."

"Taller like that?" The boy pointed.

A tall silhouetted figure with wide shoulders entered the altar area. The shadow's fedora hat overshadowed Mola Ram's chanting, blocking the fires of death from his crazed eyes.

He recognized it instantly. "Indiana Jones."

Setting down the two stolen swords of Diya he approached the figure standing off to the side of the sacrifice chamber.

Mola Ram drew close to the figure. There was something odd. Something different. Yet something deeply familiar.

Mola Ram approached. "Indiana Jones - You destroyed my cult. You stole the sacrifice. You could have been my equal. Now, I will take what is mine." He reached forward.

Emily tilted her head, revealing the scars on her face, stepping into the light, grinning. "You mean my father's heart?"

Mola Ram stared at Emily in shock... facing down a woman who was fearlessly grinning at him.

"You can't have my father's heart," Emily challenged. "It's in his family."

Shorty swung down from the ceiling on Emily's whip, crashing into Mola Ram.

The priest was flung down the temple stairs.

Emily and Shorty followed, swords over their shoulders, grinning like Indy.

Mola Ram rolled over staring up at them.

"Two worthy sacrifices!" He declared greedily reaching for their hearts.

Behind him - Shorty Junior and Emily's daughter stole the abandoned Swords of Diya and rushed hand in hand away to rescue Lizavet - running in unison like Indy and Marion.
