The Adventures of Iowa Jones

Have you heard of Indiana Jones? Forget him. I introduce to you, Iowa Jones and his (mis)adventures. Here is his quest to find the Lost Temple of Doom.

It started in a deserted place forgotten by time.

A place where the terrain was so alien, it’s out of this world. Could it be in another planet?

Then Iowa Jones came to a path that seems to be blocked by a stone wall.

But as he inspected it closer there was a narrow passageway, as if it’s a secret path through the stone walls.

So he pressed on and walked through the unknown path. What danger could be lurking ahead? Would there be a big Rolling Stone? Or maybe giant Beetles? Would he meet Mick Jagger or Paul McCartney? Huh?

Anyway, some of the stones seems to have caved in. Were the stone walls moving? Would he be crushed to his death?

While some of the passageway seems to be so clear that it was even lighted by the sun rays.

Iowa Jones even took short rest under the stones to catch his breath.

But he knew that he must hurry as the dreaded army of the Last Crusaders of Doom was pursuing him.

Iowa Jones must also avoid the booby (poopy?) trap that were scattered on the path.

These booby traps are left by the Last Crusaders’ fierce beast the Donkey Kong.

Even though tired and weary, Iowa Jones continued on his quest.

Then he came near a clearing. He now has a glimpse of the temple!

Finally he now stands in awe in front of the Lost Temple of Doom.

Then he saw the Guardians of the Galaxy, I mean the Guardians of the Temple. They were assigned to protect it against the army of the Last Crusaders of Doom.

They warned Iowa Jones that the temple should not be rediscovered by the army of Doom, or else the whole kingdom of Camelot (not reigned by King Arthur, but by camels) will be doomed. Good thing he understands and speaks their ancient language.

So with all his might Iowa Jones toppled down the temple like Samson, without the long hair, of old.

Alas, it was not a Temple of Doom, but rather it was a Doomed Temple.

And all that was left were ruins. The End.
