With the sun at their backs, they broke into two teams - Athena and Voltaje, Oscar and JD - and headed down into the valley toward the ancient ziggurat. Dr. Wilson stayed behind at camp, watching their progress.<br/><br/>The two groups split apart and approached separately, moving cautiously. As they neared the structure, Athena heard a crackling in the sky. Looking up, she saw a human figure wrapped in flame flying toward the pyramid, disappearing inside through a high aperture.<br/><br/>They encountered one of the totems as they neared, but Athena and Voltaje felt they successfully skirted around it without detection.<br/><br/>As they reached the base of the stone structure, they saw a tall arch housing a stone door that could only be the place's front entrance. Closing in on it, they found for the first time a sign that not all was old here: there was a modern keypad set into the stone beside the door, a small red light atop it. The device was obviously for a coded entry to open the door.<br/><br/>They didn't have a code, but they had Voltaje. Touching the keypad, she disappeared through the electronics. A moment later Athena heard a metallic whirring and the stone door slid smoothly open, Voltaje standing on the other end. On the inside, the door opened with the simple push of a button.<br/><br/>A stone hallway lay open before them. Attached to the ceiling were flourescent lights that looked to have been recently installing, their cabling exposed and attached to the ceiling with metal clamps.<br/><br/>There was no sign of the boys, though it was likely they were on the other side of the pyramid by now, perhaps finding their own way in.
