Im - Great Priest Imhotep Oneshot : IM

Whoo. It wasn't a pain to do by any means, but man do I not miss translating 54 pages of something. I guess I've been spoiled by shorter chapters of stuff. Anyway this one shot was okay, but I think the series (which is being scanslated), is a lot better. Regardless, Enjoy the eventual scanslation by psylocke.



Also I have a plurk now, so feel free to friend me there and stuff.

Where are you?!
Toth-sama!

{I'm telling you not to go! You can't possibly walk through the desert!}
{But, I just gotta! I have to go see the moon shrine!}
{That's insane! You don't even know anything!!}
{There is conjurer in the desert!}
{Clad in all black with a beast of darkness at his beck and call...}
{He's terrifying a conjurer!}
{If he captures you...}
{You'll never see your mommy again!}
???: Screw that. Who cares about conjurers?
I'll surpass 'im! They'll see...!!!

005
???: I'm here...!
The Transport city Helmupolis!
A port in the middle of the country where boats gather. They say “There's no city you can't get to from this city”.
And it looks like that's true!!
Dude: Did you walk through the dessert on your own, kiddo?
You're really something! But you're probably worn out, so why not rest at our place?
???: Yeah, you're right. I'll take a little...
I ain't got the time for that!!
(Handwritten- Ah...)
(Handwritten- Our money...)

006
???: Sorry but I'm in a hurry!!
(Sfx- Bokoohh craaash)
Guy: Aaaaaaah!!!
The hell are you doing, ya braaat?!
That's the stone tablet we were going to present to the shrine...
And now it's broken!!!
???: It's just a clay tablet ain't it?
Dude: Shut up!! This isn't just a piece of rock!
This is “god's” stone tablit!
Those who can read these things will be granted the power of God!! The priests refer to these as holy stones!!
They have the power to change people into Gods!!

007
Dude: You brat...I don't remember seeing you before.
You a refugee? An immigrant?
Dude2: How could this happen?!
Dude: What the hell are you gonna do about this, brat?!
???: Lemmie go!
???: Hey you there.
Hate to bug you, but have you seen a puppy about this size around here?
(Sfx- Gushaa crussh)
Dude: GAAAAAAAAAAH!!!
Look at what you're doing...
Now it's in little pieces...
???: Huh?
C'mon, have you seen a puppy?
It's round, and black..

008
Dude: As if we give a shit about your dog!
This is our life work here dammit!
We'll make slaves outta you, that brat and your little dog too!
???: Hmm...see, that's a problem.
It'll kinda put a damper on my life.
So I'll have to refuse.

009
Dudes: aaaaaah!!!
???: Hah...
Hahahaahah! Don't you ever forget,
the power of my lord and master!!
Dude: We sure picked the wrong dude's slave to mess with..
???: And that's what'll happen if you mess with me!
Dude 2: Why is a man clad in black...
In a place like this?
Could it be he's...

010
Dude: The Sand conjurer,
Imhotep the magician!!
Imhotep: Quite the honest lad, huh?
To think you'd offer your body up to repay this favor...
Well, I can't go and flat out deny a person's request when it comes from them.
I'll leave things to you, servant.

011
Imhotep: Come one, come all, travelers.
Come over and take a gander.
This Secmeto root will grant you sleep just like the dead.
If the treasure you seek is children, then have some broth made of the Sasori.
And if you want to see through the lies of others then use this Black stone!!
If you act now, I'll even throw in some amulets on the cheap!
It's a huge sale!
???: NGHOOOOOO!!!
Imhotep: Maan, you're a life saver. I was wondering what I'd do if my ass started to hurt after sitting so long..
Thanks a bunch, servant.
???: This is child abuse, ain't iiiiiiit?!

012
???: I can't do thiiiiiisss!! Get off! You're heavy, heavy, heavy!!
Guy: Those things probably don't even work. Lets go.
Imhotep: Hm.
How saddening.
Then, open your eyes and behold.
(Sfx- Chira glance)
???: Eh?
Wait....!
Imhotep: If I am to have them believe me, then we'll have to put on a performance, yes?
There's no need to worry, these should work....technically.
{This sorta thing...}
{This sorta thing....!!}
???: Gyaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaaah!!
Imhotep: Ah.

013
???: The ship headed to the moon templeeeeee!!!
Where is ittttt!?!?
I'm in a hurry, so please tell me immediately!!
Guy: Sorry kid,
That ship only sails on nights with a full moon.
Plus that one way ticket is gonna cost you some gold.
???: Gold?!
Guy: That's obvious, kid!
No matter what ship you're sailing on, you'll need gold!

014
???: Gooold....
Thingy: Not my dog dish!!
???: Fuhoohhhh!!?
Huuh?! The dog talked?!
???: I ain't a dog, I'm Anubis!!
???: But you just referred to yourself as a dog just now!!
???: So you were here, Anubis.
Imhotep: And...
What are you doing running off on your own all of a sudden?
Servant.
???: Gyaaah!!
Yo...You're really that desert conjurer?!
Why are you in the city?!

015
Imhotep: I'm human, though.
I mean, even supposing I am a conjurer, If I always hung out in the desert I'd die.
Conjurers have to go shopping and take d*mps too.
???: Yer mockin' me...ain'tcha.
Imhotep: More importantly...
That whole “Master” thing you said earlier was a lie, right?
“Servant”.
???: O-O-O-Okay! I get it!
I'll tell you the truth, so spare my life!!
I'm a immigrant.
While we were traveling the country, bandits attacked and I got separated from my mom.

016
{I wandered without food all by myself because I heard a certain rumor.}
{About a “God who would help those who want to meet a person badly.” Toth of the Moon Shrine.}
{If I go to the Moon shrine, my dream will come true!}
{So in order to meet my mommy,}
{I traveled over valleys..}
{Over mountains}
{And through the desert.}
{Until I finally got here!}
Imhotep: But in the end of it all you have no money, huh?
???: Go on, laugh it up if you wanna.
That a dirty little brat like me actually thought he'd be able to enter a shrine...must be hilarious.

017
Anubis: Uwaaaan!! Where's your mommy?
Imhotep: Uwaah, that's a big problem ain't it.
I'm moved 'ain't' it?
???: You're using “ain't” wrong!
Imhotep: Okay, I got it.
Just leave your ship fare to I, Imhotep.
However you'll have to work yourself to the bone until the full moon.
G..
Gooooood?!?!?

018
???: So then...
The stone of God you found got broken?!
You useless fools! That obviously wasn't real!
As if the ACTUAL stone of God would be broken!!
Dudes: Hiiii!!! Sorrrrrrrry!!!
It seems that prisoners are only good for being slaves.
You have neither the right to complain or to expect to be released.
I'll work you from head to toe.
Don't think you'll ever escape.
Dude: Wait! Anything but that!! Just give us one more chance...
Then bring me a tribute in place of that stone!!
Dude: eeeeeeh?!

019
Dude: What'll we do?! We just barely managed to have our crimes overlooked, and now this!!
God's messenger my ass!! He's just a shut in old man!!
???: Please, take me to the moon shrine!!
I want to meet my family again!
I'm looking for my brother, so please...
Guy: We don't give out free rides!
Get lost!

020
???: Ow!!
Anubis: You broke something else!! That won't do, it won't do at all!!
???: Don't screw around with me!!
You're a servant too right?! So why are you slacking over there?!
Anubis: I'm your overseer!
???: Where the heck did Im get to?
It's his room, ain't it? Then he could clean it himself!
Anubis: Im is outside.
Where the moon is.

021
???: Say, Im...
why do you live in a place like this?
Imhotep: ….
Cause I'm waiting.
The one who found me here,
Was my master.

022
???: Why isn't your master around anymore?
Imhotep: Hm? Whoa, you're injured all over now that I look at you.
???: I was the one asking the questions!
These little scratches ain't nothin.
I can't meet my mommy if I'm just sittin' around.
If I wanna see her then I have to make the first step and keep on walking!
That's why I'm gonna ask the moon god,
where my mom is!

023
???: Mom might even be looking for me, and so she might go to the shrine too.
I wanna find her again immediately!!
If you wanna find 'im, start walking!
Waitin' ain't gonna change nothin!
Aww right, next lets get some grub!
Things'd be great if I were a bird!
Imhotep: Walk, huh?

024
???: Hurry!
The boat's going to leave!!
???: Why are there so many people here?
Someone: Don't push!
Imhotep: I don't know.
But you shouldn't get complacent, Shamus.
Someone: We're shipping off!
Shamus: They're leaving!
???: Hurry!
This is your only chance to board the boat for free!
The special boat heading to the Moon shrine is here!!
Hey! Don't push!!
???: Are you serious? And its' free?!
Dude: That's right!
Hurry up and climb on!
Imhotep: I'm waiting.
Dude: Hey kid?! You're gonna miss your chance to ride.
Shamus: Hang on!
There's someone else I wanna bring!
(Sfx- Guhh shifft)

025
Dude: Sorry, no can do.
Guy: Hey...
Bro.
Are you okay?
Aah...it's no good.
This guy doesn't do well with crowds, huh?
???: Do you want some water, sonny?
Imhotep: Uggghhhhh
???: If you're gonna hurl, do it over there!

026
Guy: Been a while since I've seen a free boat heading to the shrine though,
And it's not even a day where there will be a full moon.
Apophis-sama sure is weird.

027
???: Ohh?
I see you've gotten quite the haul.
It's not quite enough for me to forgive your sins,
but I can reconsider making you my slaves at least.
Dudes: Thank you so muuuuch!! We're overjoyed!!
People: Wait!! What's the meaning of this?!
Please explain what's going on, your holiness!

028
Priest: You people will become slaves of the royal guard for now on.
You will strive to work your hardest for our king as his personal property.
Be grateful.
Shamus: Don't mess around with us! I ain't gonna be no slave!!
I wanna see my mommy again!!
Someone: Me too!
That's right!
I want to see my father..
Priest: Don't be conceited, swine.
Do you think you who has nothing to offer God should expect him to lend you his ear?
You don't have education or money, so the least you can do is to offer your bodies to the king.

029
Priest: By doing this, even Toth will hear your desires.
Shamus: No!!
Let me go!!
Is this really the God I came to believe in?!
Dammit!
Dammitall!!

030
(Sfx- Guhfh?!)
(Sfx- Fungehh)
Anubis: I'm in~!
Shamus: Puppy?
Someone: Apophis-sama!!
Anubis: Ssh, follow me!
Shamus: Where are we going puppy?!
Dude: Hurry and capture the slaves!
That puppy...

031
Shamus: Hey, puppy!! Why do you know your way around here?!
Did you come to take a leak?
Anubis: Of course not!
I use a proper toilet and everything!
After all...
This is where Im and I live!!
Im was raised here by Toth-sama!
Shamus: Toth!?
The moon god?!

032
{He was abandoned by his Mama and Papa as a baby...}
{And Toth-sama is the one who picked him up.}
{However since Toth is a God, he couldn't remain at his side.}
{So he left Im with the promise that he'd return.}
Anubis: Kyaaaah!!
Shamus: Puppy!
???: Where are you going, boy?
Did you think that you'd get a guide through the royal chambers?

033
Anubis: They're huge!!
Priest: Is this your first time seeing a fully matured Anubis?
What do you think of them and their bewitching and beautiful bodies of deep black?
The Anubis are beholden to priests as their underlings.

034
Priest: And of course no one other than me can control them.
You fools know too much about the moon's shadow.
If you won't be controlled,
Then I'll deliver your souls to Osiris of the underworld himself.
Shamus: Nooo!! Im!!!

035
Priest: What's going on?
Imhotep: This is the pollen of the medicinal herb, secmeto
Just a whiff of this stuff wrecks people's perception,
And they are attacked by powerful hypnosis.
Been a while since I've come home.
I'm home,
Apophis.

036
Imhotep: I've been away for a while,
But you can stand down. I'm back.
Apophis: Imhotep...!!
Anubis: Uwaaaaaa!! Im!!
Imhotep: Thank goodness the two of you are okay.
Ungh!?

037
Shamus: Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!
Apophis: My, my.
Sounds just like you...
A nostalgic crying voice...
For what reason did you return now after all this time.

038
Apophis: “The priest's rule”...
Those who posses the power of God mustn't involve themselves in trouble...
Which is to say those who leave the shrine, are traitors.
There is no place for you here!!
What do you think? Big isn't it?
This is a stone we found in the western seas.
Seven years!
It took seven years to decipher!
It's a magic the likes of which hasn't been seen before now!
It is the very vessel of Toth the moon God!

039
Apophis: Imhotep! I am now Toth!!
You are now inferior to me in every way! I am now the true chosen child of Toth!
Anubis: Hmph!! Dummy!
There's no way Im would lose to the likes of...
Waaahh!! It's happening!!
Imhotep: “Sit.”
I said sit.

040
Apophis: Anubis?!
What are you slaves doing?!
Imhotep: Using people's feelings...
And their bonds...
Leading the chosen and then taking their freedom...
You are a moon of errors.
Apophis,
I who bears the name Imhotep,
Will judge you.

041
Apophis: Even up until now you refuse to acknowledge me?!
Little brat!!
Then let this magic rend you apart!!!
Both: Toth
I am your servant.

042
Apophis: This cannot be!!
He's using the same spell?!!
He actually knows what's on this stone?!
No, he can't possibly...!!
I don't understand...
I spent seven years deciphering that stone, so how can he possibly know..
He's only seen the stone once just now...!!

043
Apophis: Could it be...
That he figured it out after seeing it just now?!
Juutei Arc!!!

044
Apophis: He has the mooon?!

045
Person: Kyaaaaaaahhh!!
Kyah!!
What the heck is happening?!
Anubis: Waaah!

046
Apophis: Th--
This is ridiculous....
You aren't human.
Imhotep: Nah,
I cry, and laugh like everyone else.
I'm human.
Hm?
Apophis...
Just where did you end up?

047
Imhotep: You're...
Outside aren't you?
Apophis: Ah...
What is this...
No..
ooh...
Imhotep: “The priest's rule”...
Those who posses the power of God mustn't involve themselves in trouble...
Which is to say those who leave the shrine, are traitors.
Wasn't it you who said that?

048
Apopis: Wait! If I'm not here what will happen to them?!
Those who are seeking the Moon God...
Without me they will be unable to realize their greatest wishes!!
Never again!!
Imhotep: That's not true.
Everyone will just have to walk forward on their own.
If they don't stop, and don't just wait they'll meet whomever they want, right?
After all it's because they wanted to meet someone that they came this far.

049
Imhotep:Shamus walked all the way here...!!
Shamus: I guess I was too reckless...
Hup...
???: Shamus?
How about you quit being a shut in and walk forward too?
However I'd advise you watch yourself while journeying at night.
Should you lose the way to the path you have chosen...

050
Imhotep: The moon won't shine upon you.
Good bye.

051
Anubis: Welcome back, Imhotep-sama.
We are your priests.
Imhotep: Allrighty. Time for me to head out.
I'm leaving the house to you guys.
Anubis: Huh?
Imhotep-sama?!

052
Imhotep: See ya.
Anubis: Imhotep-sama!!
Please wait!
Imhotep: Ngh..
Quit chasing us you muscle heads!
Anubis: Give me a hand here!!
Shamus: I've got a hand right here.

053
Anubis: What?!
Imhotep: Shamus?
Anubis: But why?! What about your mom?
Shamus: Heheh..
I met her, but she got mad.
“You need to repay your debts!” she said.
Shamus: You wanna meet Toth right?
Then let me tag along..
Until you do!
Anubis: Mom's scary..

054
Imhotep: Row faster, or they'll catch us.
Shamus: Yeah!!
(Bottom text- Im steps out to find the Gods!! We await your responses!!)
END.
