Jones and the Shanghai Scroll
by
Ryan Cox
Dr. Jones searches for the Scroll of Shanghai; an
artifact giving Alexander the Great, Caesar, and
Ghengis Kahn the deceptively overwhelming power
to build the largest Empires in History. Indy finds
the artifact's resting place by watching hidden
Shaolin sundials in moonlight, only to find the
scroll taken by Napoleon, centuries earlier. Simultaneously,
his excavation is overrun by the Chinese, who are
in cahoots with Russia to end the Cold War as the
only super power. Jones finds and uses the scroll
against Russia and America on St. Helena Island,
so he can destroy it, fulfilling a promise to his
father. |

Jones and the Fate of the Film
by
Devin Kowalski
Indiana Jones must locate the mysterious "Temple
of Time" to create a doorway into an era of
filmmaking when computer generated characters, sets
and stunts were not essential to a film's production.
However, ruthless studio executives have followed
Indy through the portal and plan to destroy what
little remains of classic filmmaking and the golden
era of movies as we know it. Will Indy be able to
stop these villains in time to save the fourth film?
Or will humanity be forced to witness Renders
of the Lost Ark?
(Note: simply in jest,
no offence to filmmakers Spielberg or Lucas.) |

Jones and the Lost Continent

Daniel Abernathy
While chasing a random artifact by boat, Indy travels
through the Bermuda Triangle. His boat disappears,
as the legend dictates. The triangle is actually
a wormhole linking our time with the original continent,
Pangea. There, a society has risen, consisting of
all the vessels that have vanished over the years
and the people that vanished within them. With the
help of a female "native", Indy joins
in the search for the elusive wormhole leading back
to the present (1980s?). While Indy celebrates his
connection with actual history, he battles with
"civilians" against "military rebels"
seeking domination. |
