Legends: The Rediscovery

Episode 28px]

The camera maneuvers through a thick rainforest to stop in front of an ancient temple.  A giant stone head next to the gate of the temple begins to speak:
"LEGENDS OF THE HIDDEN TEMPLE! With your guide, Kirk Fogg! And here he is NOW!"

On this final word, Kirk appears from behind the Temple Guard door in the Dungeon and runs straight out into the foreground of the stage to greet the crowd. "Thank you! Thank you very much! Nice to see you! Nice to see you, Olmec! Welcome to Legends of the Hidden Temple.  The rooms are filled with lost treasures that are protected by mysterious Mayan Temple Guards.  Only Olmec knows the legend behind each of the treasures in his temple.  Which legend are we gonna hear about today?"

Olmec replies:
"The Legend of the Unlucky Necklace of Harmonia."

"Oh, the Unlucky Necklace of Harmonia!" Kirk says in response. "So, the adventure is set, and one of these six teams will have the chance to retrieve the Necklace.  Will it be:
"Tim and Julianne of the Red Jaguars?" the camera pans to each team in order?
"Jeremy and Michelle of the Blue Barracudas,
"Ian and Alicia of the Green Monkeys,
"Nick and Elizabeth of the Orange Iguanas,
"Chris and Dianna of the Purple Parrots,
"Or Kevin and Rebecca of the Silver Snakes?"

"They'll have to pass some tough physical and mental tests," Kirk says, "but in the end, only one team will earn the right to enter Olmec's Temple.  But first, they must cross the Moat, and here's how they'll have to do it today:
"There's a rope in front of each team in the Moat.  When I say go, one player from each team will swim out to grab the rope, come back onto dry land and swing on the rope across the Moat.  Then they'll throw the rope to their partner and he'll swing across.  But if any part of a player touches the water when he's swinging across, he'll have to go back and start all over."
"When the second player steps onto the deck, it's his job to run over here and hit the gong." He slams down on the Red Jaguars' gong to demonstrate. "The first four teams to hit their gongs will be going on to the Steps of Knowledge.  Hey teams? are you ready?"
The players all cheer and shout in response.
"Olmec, are you ready?" asks Kirk.
"ROCK AND ROLL!" Olmec shouts in response.
"All right then," Kirk replies. "On your marks, get set, GO!"

The teams? first players jump into the heated waters of the Moat and walk out to grab the ropes.  The boy on the Red Jaguars is the first to return with the rope, as well as the first player to make it across, in almost no time at all.  The girl on the Orange Iguanas is right behind him all the way.
?I think I know who?s going onto the next round,? Kirk says as the boy on the Blue Barracudas is helped up onto the deck by the spotter, and the girl on the Green Monkeys drops too far into the Moat about halfway across.  The boys of the Purple Parrots and Silver Snakes step on the deck at the same time.  After another fifteen seconds the girl on the Green Monkeys finally makes it across.
?Here come the teams!? Kirk announces as the girl on the Red Jaguars is helped onto the deck by her partner. ?Red Jaguars? Orange Iguanas!? The boy on the Orange Iguanas hits the gong only a second or two after the second player from the Red Jaguars.  The girl on the Blue Barracudas drops too deep into the Moat during her next swing across, which allows the girl of the Purple Parrots team to hit the gong third.  The girl on the Silver Snakes then grabs the fourth position before the second player from the Blue Barracudas can.
?We got our four teams!? Kirk shouts, walking over to join the Red Jaguars in view of the camera. ?Red Jaguars took on that Moat like it was nothing.  They?re going on to the Steps of Knowledge, along with the Orange Iguanas?? the camera shows the qualifying teams in order? ?and the Purple Parrots? and the Silver Snakes!? The camera cuts back to Kirk standing with the Red Jaguars near their gong. ?Blue Barracudas and Green Monkeys gave it a great effort too.  We?ve got a great gift for them for playing, here?s what it is.?
Dee reads the consolation prize:
"Look at the entertaining fun you?ll have when you strap on Moon Shoes.  Super excitement is yours when you bounce higher than ever! Don?t leave Earth without Moon Shoes, from Big Time Toys!"

[The Ancient Warrior]

The four teams are now at the top of the Steps of Knowledge accompanied by Kirk. "As the quest continues, it's now time for Olmec to tell us about the Unlucky Necklace of Harmonia.  But pay attention guys, because your knowledge of the Legend can bring you one step closer to the Temple."
Olmec begins to tell the legend:
"She was the beautiful Greek goddess of harmony and order.  Her name was Harmonia.  Harmonia was going to be married to Cadmus, the founder of the great city of Thebes.  On the day their wedding, the god of craftsmen, Hephaestus, gave Harmonia an exquisite silk gown and a gold necklace which gave whomever wore it eternal youth and beauty.
"Harmonia loved the necklace, but it was far too late when she had found out about its curse.  Harmonia and Cadmus were transformed into snakes by it.  Harmonia?s daughter Semele received it, and ended up burnt to death.  When Queen Jocasta got her hands on it nearly 200 years later, she married her own son by mistake and then committed suicide.  The necklace eventually ended up in the Temple, doing away with everyone who wore it.  Your quest is to find the Unlucky Necklace of Harmonia and bring it back here."

"Thank you Olmec," Kirk says after Olmec finishes telling the legend. "So, where is this Unlucky Necklace?"
Olmec replies:
"The Unlucky Necklace of Harmonia can be found in the Dungeon." The camera zooms in on the Unlucky Necklace on the raised step next to the end of the Pharaoh?s Secret Passage, and then fades back to Kirk.

"Teams," Kirk begins, walking down the steps, "you're now standing on the Steps of Knowledge, and in a minute, Olmec will ask you a question about today?s legend.  If you think you know the answer, I want you to stomp down on the ancient marking in front of you.  If you're right, you're gonna move down to the next level, but if you're wrong or run out of time, I'll give the other teams a chance.  The first two teams to make it to the bottom level will be one step closer to Olmec's Temple.  Olmec, we're now ready for your first question."

Olmec begins:
?Was Harmonia the goddess of: Chaos, Harmony, or The under???
Kevin buzzes in: ?Harmony.?
?Correct,? Olmec replies.
?Okay, step down!? Kirk shouts, and the Silver Snakes move down to the second step. ?Remember, you gotta step down hard on the marker if you wanna buzz in.  Next question Olmec.?
Olmec asks:
?Was Harmonia a goddess in: Greek mythology, Roman mythology, or Aztec mytho???
Chris interrupts Olmec: ?Greek mythology???
?Correct,? answers Olmec, and the Purple Parrots move down a step.  Olmec now asks:
?Was Harmonia married to???
Elizabeth rings in very early, but blanks out and says nothing before a bell sounds.
?The three choices are,? Olmec says, ?Theseus, Tantalus or Cadmus.?
Kevin stomps down first: ?Cadmus.?
?That is correct,? answers Olmec.
?One more correct response,? Kirk explains as the Silver Snakes move down to the third step, ?and the Silver Snakes?re goin? to the Temple Games.  Next question, Mr. Olmec.?
Olmec asks:
?On her wedding day, Harmonia received the Unlucky Necklace.  Did she also receive: A silk gown, A diamond ring, or A pearl-encrusted???
Dianna gongs in: ?Uhh?? silk gown???
?That is correct,? Olmec answers, allowing the Purple Parrots to move down to the third step.
?One more right answer, and the Purple Parrots are goin? to the Temple Games,? Kirk narrates. ?We?re lookin? for two teams.  Next question.?
Olmec asks:
?Did Harmonia receive these gifts from: Zeus, Hephaestus, or Hades??
Chris buzzes in: ?Ha? figh-stus???
?That is correct!? Olmec shouts, and the Purple Parrots move down to the bottom step.
?Okay, there?s our first team!? Kirk announces. ?We still need one more, who?s it gonna be: the Red Jaguars, the Silver Snakes or the Orange Iguanas? Olmec, continue.?
Olmec does so by asking:
?Is Hephaestus the Greek god of: War, The sea, or Craftsmen??
Tim rings in: ?War???
?Incorrect,? answers Olmec.
Rebecca stomps down first: ?Craftsmen???
?That is correct!? Olmec shouts, and the Silver Snakes move over to the left of the Purple Parrots on the bottommost level.
?All right, there?s our two teams!? Kirk announces, walking up the side of the bottom step to appear behind the two qualifying teams. ?Goin? to the Temple Games are the Purple Parrots and the Silver Snakes! Red Jaguars, Orange Iguanas, you can come down here.? The other teams move down two steps. ?These guys aren?t leaving empty-handed, we got a great gift for them and here?s what it is.? Tim, Nick, Julianne and Elizabeth will each be receiving a $50 U.S. Savings Bond provided by Nestle.
Kirk is standing behind the Silver Snakes and the Purple Parrots on the bottommost Step of Knowledge. ?We?ll see who?s goin? to go to Olmec?s Temple,? he says, ?right after this!? The camera zooms out, then fades to close-up of Olmec from below.  Olmec lets out a moan (similar to when he lowers the gate) as the camera fades to commercial.

[The Ancient Warrior]

Kirk is standing between the two teams and in front of the Crevasse. ?Welcome back to Legends,? he says. ?Now of course the glory goes to the fastest and the strongest, so let?s talk to our team players.? He turns to interview the brown-haired boy on his stage-left. ?On the Silver Snakes, we have Kevin.  How old are you??
?Twelve,? Kevin replies.
?And I understand you like all sports, but do you have a favorite?? says Kirk.
Kevin thinks for a second. ?Prob?ly basketball,? he replies.
?Okay,? Kirk says, going to interview the brown-haired girl stage-left of Kevin. ?And Rebecca, how old are you??
?Thirteen,? she replies.
?And I understand you?re into swimming, but you?re also a cheerleader,? Kirk says. ?Tell me about that.?
?Well, it just? takes a lot of energy,? Rebecca struggles to explain, ?and? where else can you? scream without someone? telling you to be quiet?? She laughs a little as she keeps talking.
?I think we got a good team here, we?ll see,? says Kirk. ?Let?s hear it for the Silver Snakes!?
?WOOOO!? Rebecca screeches as she waves her hands in the air, and Kevin claps along with the audience.
?I think we just heard it from the Silver Snakes,? Kirk comments before he turns to interview the Asian boy on the Purple Parrots. ?And on the Purple Parrots we have Chris.  How old are you??
?Thirteen,? Chris replies.
?And you play football but you?re also into? snowboarding?? Kirk reads on the index card in front of his face. ?Tell me about that.?
?Well,? Chris explains, ?I?m from Vermont? we get a lot of snow there? I got into boarding last year? I?ve just mastered the Stale Fish.?
Kirk nods as he goes to talk to the blond girl on the far right of the screen. ?And Dianna, I understand you? hang on, how old are you??
?Eleven,? she answers.
?And I understand you wanna be on a pro soccer team.  Tell me about that.?
?Well,? Dianna begins, ?I?m on a school team, and? I like playing soccer.?
?So she wants to be a pro soccer player? ?cause she likes playing it!? Kirk comments. ?Let?s hear it for the Purple Parrots!? Chris and Dianna high-ten as the audience claps.

?Why don?t you go get ready for the Temple Games,? Kirk says as the players walk offscreen, ?and I'll tell you guys what's gonna happen here.  Now, in the Temple Games, these teams will be competing to win?" he opens his pocket and pulls out a small gold medallion to show to the camera? "Pendants of Life.  The winning team will need those Pendants to protect themselves from the dreaded Temple Guards as they make their way through the Temple.  There are three Temple Games, and Olmec will tell us about Temple Game #1.?

Olmec begins:
?Cadmus founded the city of Thebes, but in this Temple Game, you will have to reach a new land before you can create your own city.  When Kirk gives the signal, climb along the wall and maneuver the chain along the slot, trying to make your way to the space through which you will reach your new land.
?The first player to reach the new land? or the one that?s closer to the new land after 60 seconds? wins.?
The camera fades to Kirk, who is standing between the two boards the girls are attached to by the equipment fastened around their waists. ?This sure?s a new way to go places,? Kirk says. ?Let?s set the clock for 60 seconds.? The clock appears in the bottom-right corner of the screen. ?On your mark, get set, GO!?
Dianna and Rebecca begin working their way along the path to get to the open space. ?It?s tough to get moving like this,? says Kirk as Rebecca slips through the first of the two metal loops with 45 seconds to go. ?You gotta avoid making the wrong turns, you gotta know where you?re going?? Rebecca passes through the second loop with 24 seconds left, a few seconds before Dianna. ?It takes a lot of communication.? Rebecca is in the lead for the remainder of the game, making it out through the open space with six seconds left.
?That?s it!? Kirk shouts as Rebecca disappears behind the board. ?N-no, c?mon back.? Rebecca walks back through the open space and toward Kirk and the camera as a spotter frees Dianna from the equipment. ?You both did a good job, but Rebecca got out first.  That gives her the half Pendant of Life!? The audience applauds for a moment. ?Don?t worry, Purple Parrots, you can catch up in the next game.  Olmec, tell us about Temple Game #2.?

Olmec continues:
?Cadmus created the people of Thebes by planting dragons? teeth.  And in this game, you are going to sow the dragons? teeth.  You are now strapped in a rotating lever and, when Kirk gives the signal, you will run around to grab a dragon?s tooth off of the pedestal.  Next, return to place it in your field.
?The player with the most dragons? teeth in their field after 60 seconds wins.?
?They gotta make some people now,? Kirk says with an odd facial reaction. ?Sounds tricky.  Let?s set the clock for 60 seconds.? The clock appears on screen. ?On your mark, get set, GO!?
Chris and Kevin take off and start running around to grab the dragon teeth.  They both miss the first two times around, and Chris misses again on the third try. ?It?s hard to get your right momentum,? Kirk says over the cheering audience.  The players go around a whole thirteen times before time expires.  The ceiling spotlights now flash and two spotters run over to stop the rotating levers and free the players from the equipment.
?Okay,? says Kirk. ?Purple Parrots got one, two, three? four teeth, and the Silver Snakes got one, two, three, four, five? seven teeth! Silver Snakes win another half Pendant of Life!? The audience briefly applauds. ?Silver Snakes have a full Pendant, Purple Parrots don?t have any yet, but this next game?s worth a full Pendant.  Olmec, tell us about it.?

Olmec narrates:
?The Unlucky Necklace of Harmonia was passed down through generations, laying a curse on everyone who wore it.  Here you will pass down some of your own gold necklaces.  When Kirk gives the signal, grab a gold necklace and walk out to meet your partner at the middle of the path.  Then pass the necklace to your partner, who will slide back and place it in your team?s treasure box.  Then go back and try it again.
?The team who makes the most transfers in 60 seconds wins.?
?Purple Parrots have to get this game, otherwise the Silver Snakes win,? Kirk comments. ?Let?s set the clock for 60 seconds.  On your mark, get set, GO!?
The players have a bit of trouble walking against the force of the bungee cords attaching them to the walls behind them.  The first successful transfer is made with 31 seconds, but only a couple more are made before the ceiling lights flash to end the game.
?Okay,? Kirk says as he walks into the space between the tracks and peers into the treasure boxes.  The spotters unfasten the kids, who immediately walk over to join Kirk. ?Silver Snakes got one necklace, Purple Parrots got one? two necklaces! Purple Parrots get the full Pendant, that gives each team a full Pendant, we go to a tiebreaker.  Let?s bring out? the tiebreaker pedestal!?

The players run over to the tiebreaker pedestals and stand behind their gongs as directed by Kirk. ?Okay, here?s the tiebreaker rules.  In a minute, Olmec is gonna ask you a question.  If you think you know the answer, hit the gong in front of you.  You?ll have three seconds to answer and I must accept your first response.  If you?re right, you and your partner will be going to the Temple in search of the Unlucky Necklace of Harmonia, but if you?re wrong or run out of time, I'll give the other teams a chance.  All clear?"
The players nod in response.
"Olmec!" Kirk shouts. "What is the final question??

Olmec asks:
?In addition to a curse, did the Unlucky Necklace give whoever wore it: The love of whomever they love, Eternal youth and beauty, or a rash??
Rebecca hits the gong and guesses: ?Eternal youth? and beauty!?
Olmec pauses for a second. ?THAT IS CORRECT!? he shouts, and the Silver Snakes hug for a second as Kirk declares a winner.
?They fought hard, they stayed ahead,? Kirk says, ?and now the Silver Snakes are goin? to the Temple!? Rebecca waves to the camera before high-fiving Kevin once. ?Purple Parrots gave it a gallant effort.  Here?s what we?ve got for them.? Chris and Dianna will each be receiving a small prize package from Reebok.
Kirk is standing behind Kevin and Rebecca at the tiebreaker pedestal. ?They broke the tie,? Kirk comments, ?and now we?ll see if the Silver Snakes can make it through the Temple and retrieve the Unlucky Necklace of Harmonia? right after this!? The camera goes all the way across the stage, showing the Purple Parrots standing by the equipment for the first Temple Game, and zooms in on the Unlucky Necklace in the Dungeon before fading to commercial.

[The Ancient Warrior]

Kirk stands in front of the Temple's stairs with his hands on Kevin and Rebecca's shoulders. "Welcome back," he says to the camera before turning around to talk to Olmec. "Olmec!" he shouts. "The Silver Snakes have proven themselves worthy and earned the right to enter your Temple.  But before they go, can you give them any clues about your Temple to help them retrieve the Unlucky Necklace of Harmonia?"
Olmec begins to give the rundown:
"You could start by climbing through the Crevasse and climbing down into the Great Chasm.  Then, race into the Forbidden Fountain.  Place the correct bowl to tip the scales, and you could choose to go up into the Burial Pit, or into the Junction of the Secret Shafts.  If you escape, you might have a chance to enter the Switch Inferno.  Hit the right actuator to go upstairs, or plow through the wall and into the Dungeon, where you can grab the Unlucky Necklace of Harmonia.
"Climb up the Pharaoh?s Secret Passage into the Dark Overlook, and correctly place all three torches to open the door to the Shrine of the Silver Monkey.  Assemble the statue, and you may be headed for the Knights? Barracks.  Place the sword in the correct sheath, and you could advance into the Laser Light Room.  Find the right combination to unleash the power of the laser, and swing on the rope back across the Great Chasm.  Then, pass through the Room of Temple Gongs, race down the stairs and back through the Temple Gate.  The choices are yours and yours alone." Olmec pauses for a second here. "You won 1 Pendant in the Temple Games.  Who's going first??
"I am," says Kevin.
"Very well Kevin," Olmec replies as Kirk hands out the Pendants of Life. "When Kirk gives the signal, you'll race through the gates into the Temple and make your way towards the Unlucky Necklace.  Hidden inside the Temple are three ventilation shafts that let out in the Junction of the Secret Shafts, as well as Temple Guards assigned to protect three specific rooms.  You can trade your Pendant for an extra life and go on, but if you're caught without a Pendant, you'll be taken out of the Temple? and it'll be Rebecca's turn to enter and try her luck.  Hidden somewhere inside the Temple are the two halves of your Pendant.  If you can find both of them, you will get an extra life.  If you can reach the Unlucky Necklace, all the doors of the Temple will instantly unlock, and the Temple Guards will vanish.  Return through the gates with the Unlucky Necklace of Harmonia in three minutes, and you will both be handsomely rewarded? and here's how:"
?   For just making it into the Temple, they?re both going to get an Ultra-Bounce trampoline from Bollinger.
?   If they can grab the Unlucky Necklace within three minutes, they?re also going to get matching $1,000 Toys ?R? Us gift cards.
?   And if they can get the Unlucky Necklace of Harmonia out of the Temple before three minutes is up, they?ll both be going to St. Martin! The Golden Tulip St. Martin beach resort has its own private beach, water polo, and all the amenities of Golden Tulip International.  Golden Tulip International, for a prize package totaling exactly $13,000!

"St. Martin, sounds good!" Kirk says, excited. "So, let?s get you into position, Kevin.  Mouthpieces in.  Let's set the clock? for three minutes." The clock then appears onscreen. "And lower the gate, please, Olmec?"
Olmec moans as he lowers the gate.
"Oh, and since this is an unlucky artifact you?re looking for, maybe I?ll help if I say good luck.  On your mark, get set, GO!"

Kevin runs up the steps into the Room of Temple Gongs, only to meet a?
?TEMPLE GUARD! Right off the bat!? Kirk shouts. ?He wants that Pendant? the team?s only Pendant!? Kevin hands over the Silver Snakes? only Pendant of Life without even looking over his shoulder, then runs to the very front of the room to slam down on the gongs in the front center of the room.  He hits the one on the stage-left, which lights up red, then tries the second one from stage-left, which lights up white.  The door to the Great Chasm opens, and Kevin jumps down to enter the Forbidden Fountain, where in the corner of the room lurks a second TEMPLE GUARD!
Kevin gets taken away by the second Temple Guard, but it takes him a moment to realize that happened. ?Oh, oh, he?s been taken out!? Kirk suddenly shouts. ?Go Rebecca!? With no Pendant in hand and 2:24 on the clock, Rebecca races up into the Temple, passing through the Room of Temple Gongs, jumping down into the Great Chasm, and reaching the door to the Forbidden Fountain with 2:13 to go.  She enters the tunnel, but doesn?t come out on the other side for some reason.
?What?s going on? Where is she?? Kirk asks about five seconds after Rebecca enters the hallway.  The voice then switches to an overdub. ?I don?t know what happened, but the door got jammed shut now!? The voice says. ?I wonder where?s gonna go when the door opens?? The camera moves behind Rebecca to show her pushing the door.  The ?door open? sound effect then plays, and Rebecca finally can enter the Forbidden Fountain. (1:50) She runs to the front of the room and begins placing bowls on the scales, one at a time.  She tries all four, but no doors open.
?Door?s still locked!? Kirk comments in a live voice as Rebecca tries to pry open the door leading into the Junction of the Secret Shafts. ?That door?s not gonna open, she?ll have to go back!? Rebecca re-enters the Great Chasm (1:24) and starts climbing up the wall.  She notices one half of her Pendant hanging from the actuator for the door leading into the Laser Light Room, and she grabs it before leaving the Great Chasm. (1:07)
?Time?s running low now!? Kirk comments as Rebecca begins aligning the segments of the metallic column. ?I don?t know if they?ll make it!? The door opens as the dome of the column lights up, and Rebecca passes into the Knights? Barracks. (0:51) ?She?s gotta grab the sword, sheath the sword!? Kirk shouts, and Rebecca first tries to put the sword in the sheath in the middle suit of armor?s helmet.  Nothing happens. ?Try another one!? Kirk shouts, and Rebecca moves to the camera-right one. ?Try the other one!? She then sheathes it in the camera-left sheath.  Mumbling can be heard, then Kirk shouts:
?Try the middle one again!?
Rebecca once again places the sword in the middle sheath, but this time the door opens. (0:27) She heads into the Shrine of the Silver Monkey and meets the third TEMPLE GUARD!
?Oh!? Kirk shouts. ?He took her out of the Temple! Why was that Temple Guard there! Anyway, they get the trampolines, and we gotta get outta here.  Join us again next time for another Legends of the Hidden Temple! Buh-bye!? The camera stays focused primarily on Kirk and Kevin (and Rebecca, when she reappears from backstage) as the credits roll.

Temple Run Summary
Episode 28px]

Name of Artifact: The Unlucky Necklace of Harmonia
Season: 2
Layout: 1 (5 overall)
Result: Triple seizure
Time Remaining: 0:21
Team: Silver Snakes
Pendants Won: 1
Location of Artifact: The Dungeon



I think it's safe to say that the artifact's bad luck somehow rubbed off on this team.  How ironic.  Kevin didn't make any mistakes, but he got taken out by two Temple Guards in less than forty seconds and only three rooms into the Temple.  That wouldn't have been too bad by itself, but Rebecca met TWO production defects, one dead end and the third Temple Guard before she could complete her Pendant!

The production defects reminded me of two episodes from the third season of the original show: "The War Fan of the 47 Ronin" and "The Good-Luck Watch of Empress Eug?nie." A accidentally shut door chewed up a good chunk of Rebecca's time, and it didn't help that the door led to the dead-end Forbidden Fountain.  Rebecca found one half of her Pendant on her way to the Knights' Barracks, where she would have to place the sword in a particular sheath twice.  The door finally opened into the Shrine of the Silver Monkey, and there her run ended.

If not for the production errors and the lack of a second Pendant, this team certainly could've managed a close grab of the Unlucky Necklace.  It's a real shame the run happened this way, because these Silver Snakes really seemed to know what they were doing.

Trivia and Records:
This episode currently holds a record for the most production mistakes to occur in a single Temple Run.  It is also the first one-Pendant Temple Run ended by the third Temple Guard.

[The Silver Monkey]

The path kinda reminds me of "The Lost Logbooks of Magellan" and "The Mummified Hand of the Egyptian King".

Another great fic!
