The Living Death

The scene starts out with morning in ancient Toongypt. Buildings and monuments could be scene as a chariot races by with the pharaoh of the city, Fire Lord Ozai.

"Thebes," a narrator narrated, "city of the living. Crown jewel of King Ozai I."

The scene switches to nighttime where a boy with a black ponytail and a badly burned face wearing red robes over-looked the city as the narrator continued, "Birthplace of Zuko, Ozai's son and high priest, keeper of the dead."

He turned around to see a girl with black hair in a ponytail style, yellow eyes, and wearing some kind of red robes. "Home of Mai, ally of the Fire Nation and Ozai's mistress (I'm making Mai a little older, so keep reading). No other man could touch her."

She walked down the hallway and she past a Trog with frilled ears, yellow eyes, crooked teeth, and red fur. He was Leroy, one of Bakura's priests and as the princess walked through the curtain, he and the other priests guarded the door.

Mai walked up to Zuko and moved her hand around his face as Zuko kissed her (Bleargh!!) and the narrator said, "But, for their love, they would risk life itself." Unfortunately, Zuko rumpled Mai's once wrinkle-free sleeve.

As the priests tried closing the door so the two could be alone, the doors opened and in stepped Ozai. And he looked mad…

"What are you doing here?" he asked the priests, who kept bowing before him. He stormed to the curtain room where the lovers were while the priests started to close the door again.

Ozai walked in to find Mai leaning on a cat with a hand behind her back, pretending nothing's wrong. Ozai noticed her rumpled sleeve and knew she had been touched.

"Who has touched you?!" Ozai asked furiously. Mai smiled evilly past Ozai, who turned around to see Zuko pulling out a sword and pointing it at his father.

"Zuko!?" Ozai asked in shock as Zuko smirked evilly. "My son?"

Unknown to him, Mai pulled a knife from behind her back and stabbed Ozai in the back! He screamed as Zuko stabbed him. They kept stabbing the doomed ruler until he died.

The priests watched until they heard the doors try to open and voices could be heard. "The Medjai!" Zuko said.

The priests ran to their master and try to help him escape as Mai said, "You must go! Save yourself!"

"No."

"Only you can resurrect me!" Mai said as the doors opened and The Medjai, warriors of the pharaoh, stormed in.

"I won't leave you!" Zuko shouted as the priests pulled him away. "Let's go, lover boy!" a Trog named Barty Karkaroff said.

"Get away from me!" Zuko shouted, but it was useless as they pulled him away from his lover.

"You will live again," the prince vowed as they pulled him out of the room. "I will resurrect you!"

Just then, the Medjai walked in and gaped at the murder scene before them. "Dear God," a Trog named Shadeigo gasped in horror.

"My body is no longer his temple!" Mai screeched as she stabbed herself and fell over dead.


Later that night, Zuko and his followers could be seen riding through the desert with Mai's body.

"To resurrect Mai," the narrator continued, "Zuko and his priests broke into her crypt and stole her body. They raced across the desert and took her body to Toonaptra, the city of the dead, burial grounds for the sons of pharaohs and final place for Toons."

They were walking down the stairs into the depths of a tomb. "For his love, Zuko dared the gods' anger by traveling deep into the depths of the city with the black Book of the Dead."

As they were down in the tomb, Zuko started to read from the book as the water nearby formed into Mai's soul as it floated to her body. As it went into her body, Mai woke up and Zuko prepared to stab her and raise her back from the dead.

Just then, the Medjai stormed in and seized Zuko and his priests. Since she wasn't stabbed, Mai's soul floated back into the depths of the Underworld.

"The priests were all punished by instant mummification," the narrator narrated as priests were getting mummified, "and Zuko got the worst curse of all: the Hum Dai Curse."

Zuko was strapped to a platform as the warriors held his tongue out. "A curse so terrible that you will never die." A guard held up scissors as they cut off Zuko's tongue. He screamed as they wrapped him up and placed him in a sarcophagus. Just then, a fat cat named Pete poured man-eating scarabs in the sarcophagus and they started to feast on Zuko as they placed the cover on his tomb and locked it up with a strange star-shaped key. They buried the poor prince as the narrator concluded, "If anyone should find him and open the sarcophagus, he shall rise again with a power and the world will fall."

It was now present-day and the place where Zuko was buried was a tall dog-like statue stood. People could be seen mounted on horses as the story-teller stood in the front.

He was a short boy with blond hair and yellow eyes. He was wearing a red coat over black pants, a black shirt, and white gloves. The different thing about him was that he had an automail arm and leg. This was the Fullmetal Alchemist, Edward Elric, the new leader of the Medjai.

"The Medjai swore that Zuko would never be released," Ed's voice narrated. A battle was about to begin down in the now-in-ruins Toonaptra and the Medjai would make sure nothing would happen. "Until now."
