Why didn't one of them just pretend to be a Vine God
I mean obviously it would've worked. These ruins are a sacred place. Sure, they're not a good sacred, but they're sacred nonetheless. If I was Amy I would've just ripped off some of the vines that weren't moving, wrapped myself up in them and go down there to confront the natives, claiming to be the Vine Goddess Arthmela from planet Dorbinshnorb and they had to go away from the ruins and never come back and if they did her brother, Carmello, would use his ball of light to cast out their spirits into the Underworld of Vine-O-Rama, the purgatory of the Mayan Hell
My mama told me when I was young, we're all born superstars.
