I know most stories like the one I'm writing are basically 'repeat whatever you saw in the movie' and add a change. I intend to change most things and alter a few parts because the characters are supposed to know what is meant to happen. Also Kahmenrah will interfere with magic at some point.

WARNING: Spoilers for the first NATM movie in this chapter and future chapters.

Chapter 2

Kahmunrah sat in the underworld watching the spell it took him a month after he had the idea take effect. Trying to get comfortable in his uncomfortable stone throne grinned watching the golden ball and the thin threads that represented Larry Daley start to vanish. Well, more accurately erased from existence.

"Just a little left and a new timeline will be created. One where I shall win and this time I shall know what to expect from what I remember from the old timeline."

All that was left was a small, sparkling dot the size of a marble floating inside the stone bowl engraved with the rather complicated spell.

"Now disappear for all eternity Larry Daley of Daley Devices!"

The sparkling dot remained.

"After all the work and power I put into getting rid of you, you had better vanish!"

The small dot of little stubbornly refused to change.

"Ooo…! You haven't changed! Just when you should be doing what I want you refuse to just cease to exist, but I assure you that there are more than enough of your timeline gone already. The timeline has already changed; I shall win this time around."

The sudden change from early morning to night was disorienting.

The sudden disappearance of Larry was downright frightening.

"W-What happened?! Where's Larry?!" Skye looked around like he might just popup somewhere nearby.

Where am I?

The voice was Larry's, but it sounded distorted like he was talking into a glass bottle.

They both looked around franticly for Larry as the ghostly voice repeated a request for information.

Guys, where am I?

A startled cry came from Mau as she held up the watch. In the darkness shone with an eerie bluish-white light, the light shifted as the voice spoke again.

Guys?!

Mau was close to shouting, "You're in the watch! Your watch…"

What?! I-I'm-m in MY OWN WATCH?!

"Somethin' magic happened, the sky kept changin' from day to night. There was this weird wind tryin' to knock us over. Then you vanished. We don't know what happened!" Skye was between explaining and a rant.

You're kidding me…

"I have an idea. It's settled on night time now. We go to the museum and talk to the others. Maybe Ahk or someone else will know what is happening." She was trying to calm everyone down, including herself, because everyone was having a freak out on some level, even the calmest person there which was Mau.

Yeah. Let's go back to the museum.

Nodding to the spooky watch silently they headed to the museum. All the way back the Larry watch kept asking every few minutes where they were or if they were there yet. It wasn't until they reached the front steps that informed the 'Larry watch' that they were in fact there.

Great, Skye has spare keys. He can let us in and we…

"Shh!" Skye and Mau cut him off at what they saw through the door front. The three previous night guards in their night guard uniform passed through the front desk in a hurry, shouting.

Did I just hear Cecil, Reginald and Gus?

"You did Larry. They just passed by in night guard uniforms. Luckily they didn't notice us." Mau was confused; the museum would NEVER let them be night guards again after they tried to steal the tablet. They silently moved away from the doors, down the front steps and sat down. Trying to ignore the cold wind picking up…

"Mau, it's July so why does suddenly feel like December?" A piece of paper hit Skye right in the face. Mau caught the paper receipt as it tried to fly away. It was brand new, the date on it clearly stated that it was '1/4/2007' in large numbers. As soon as she saw the date a man ran around the corner and pulled it from her hand.

"Sorry, lost the receipt for my… Well, thank you. Bye." The man ran nervously off. They might have cared about what he bought if they didn't have problems of their own.

Guys? Mau, Skye, What just happened?

"That mans' receipt… It was new, but it can't be, it said it was January 4th of 2007." She really hoped that what she saw was wrong.

Oh, boy… That was the month before I was hired at the museum. We're in the past!

"So, time has reset itself? Is that why you vanished?" Skye spoke quietly to the Larry watch that held what was left of the essence or spirit of the night guard.

"No, if it had he would be somewhere else, not in a watch. I think he was being erased and the amulet I where protected what was left. Not sure how he ended up in his own watch. Maybe the amulet just chose it to house what is left."

That sort of makes sense in a scary magical way, but that doesn't answer… Kahmunrah.

The whole group mentally face palmed.

Of course it had to be the lisping, Egyptian psycho. For the last two years he had either been attacking them subtly or directly. Now it all made sense.

Kahmunrah, did this so he could win. He did this to me… To Nicky… NICKY!

It was clear as the watch made sobbing noises that he realized that Nicky would not exist without Larry. None of them EVER heard Larry cry like this before. But he every reason too; the twins began to sniffle and cry silently.

"Larry.. We'll do what we can to help restore you and Nicky. You don't deserve this. Nicky doesn't deserve this. We have a month to try and figure out what to do and how to do it." Skye reassured Larry trying not to sniffle to much as he spoke.

Mau suddenly went from sobbing angry.

"I swear that we will restore you, Nicky and our timeline! The proper timeline! We will get back what has been taken from us by Kahmunrah!"

Mystery Voice: Wow…

Magna: I know, what I did to Larry is awful but I think Kahmunrah would do it if he could.

Mystery Voice: No, I just thought the Larry watch was freaky, Doctor Who level, weird. Also the 'Erase Larry' spell was just as weird.

Magna: That was what I was going for obviously. I don't want to be exactly like everyone else who has gone back to the beginning, rewriting the first NATM movie. In my case I'm not really writing it though because it's an alternate timeline.
