Chapter One: Visions
Abandoned Temple--Egypt Present Day
Two figures--a man and a woman slowly made their way down a cobweb-filled hallway. They pulled out their weapons, the man a pair of Beretta nine-millimeters, and the woman an Italian M93R handgun. In her other hand, she was holding a torch.
The man brushes the web that was covering the hallway, revealing the clean-shaven face of Christopher Redfield. The woman behind him was his younger sister, Claire Redfield Kennedy. Chris was dressed in his green jumpsuit, while Claire was wearing her hot pink 'Made in Heaven' vest, black shirt and black pants. Her hair was tied into her usual ponytail.
Claire made a face. "Yuck. And I just washed my hair before we left the hotel."
"Why did you decided to come anyway?" Chris asked.
"Because it would be boring back at the hotel," she replied. "And I wanted to keep an eye on Sherry."
Chris leads Claire down another hallway. "She's survived Raccoon City, Claire. I think she can manage a few hours of exploring an abandoned temple."
As they explored the hallway, they heard a moaning sound. The siblings cocked their weapons and slowly made their way to there the source of the sound came from. When they found nothing, they turned around...
...and Claire found herself face-to-face with another person.
All three yelled and the newcomer ended up stumbling over her own two feet and ended up falling right on her butt. Chris and Claire realized who it was. It was Sherry Redfield, Chris and Jill's ward. Now fourteen, Sherry was pretty hard to keep up with, but the Redfields and the Kennedys welcomed her into their family with open arms.
After their hearts went back to normal, Chris and Claire holstered their weapons. "What are you doing down here?" Claire asked. "I thought we'd told you to stay in the temple. It's dangerous down here."
Sherry jumped to her feet. "I saw your tattoos in the temple. The eye, pyramid, the two kings, everything!"
"Great, Sherry, but can you wait for us back in the temple?" Claire asked. "Like Chris said, it's dangerous down here."
"But--"
"We'll check it out once we're finished down here. Now wait for us in the temple," Chris said.
"Well, what do you want me to do in the meantime?" Sherry asked.
Chris shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know, build a better mousetrap or something." He then added under his breath, "while we go and desecrate another tomb."

In another part of the tomb, Jill Valentine-Redfield and Leon Kennedy were in the process of deciphering some hieroglyphs. Leon was dressed in a pair of combat fatigues and a white T-shirt, while Jill was wearing a red halter top, her S.T.A.R.S. combat trousers, and combat boots. Rather than the mousy librarian from the first story, and the fact that she now has shoulder-length hair, this is the Jill Valentine that we all know and love.
"There's a snake near your foot," Leon noted.
Jill looked down and there was a poisonous snake near her foot. She frowned at it and kicked it out of the way. "Go away."
The flying snake nearly smacked into Chris and Claire, who had just returned from their rounds. "Those are poisonous, you know," Claire told her sister in-law.
"That's only if they bite you," Jill pointed out. "What was all that about?"
Chris shrugged his shoulders. "Sherry said she found something in the temple. I swear, she's beginning to get like you everyday."
Jill turned from the wall and walked ovr to Chris, while Claire strolled over to Leon. "What do you mean? Attractive, sweet and devilishly charming?"
Chris pecked his wife on the lips. "No. She's driving me crazy. Now where were we?"
Jill picked up two items from her archaelogy kit. "Hammer and chisel."
Chris looked at the two small items Jill was holding in her hands. "You have GOT to be kidding."
Jill fumed. She threw them down and picked up something else, this time it was a huge crowbar. "Fine. We'll do it your way."
Chris took the crowbar. "Thank you." He walked over to the wall Jill and Leon were at earlier and knocked it down in one swing. The next room was a catacomb, complete with scorpions and tarantulas crawling on the ground.
"Oh, I hate bugs," Leon said.
Jill grabbed a torch and entered the room. "Ever since I had that dream, it feels like I've been here before," she said as she danced her way through the spiders and scorpions.
Chris stepped into the room, followed by Leon and Claire, Chris stepping on the bugs all the while. "And ever since you had that dream, I haven't been getting a good night's sleep."
"And ever since Jill had that dream, I haven't been getting laid," Leon muttered.
Blushing brightly, Claire elbowed him in the gut.
"It feels like I've been here before," Jill said.
"No one had been here in three thousand years," Chris said.
"Except for these guys," Claire said pointing to the mummies in the tombs.
Jill walked over to a ornary torch and pulled it down. Another door opened. "Then how do I know exactly where I'm going?" she asked.
***
Outside the temple, three men appear on horseback. From the look of things, they appear to be theives.
***
Inside the temple, Sherry was reading a magazine when she heard footsteps coming from outside. Thinking quickly, she grabbed her backpack, scurried up the makeshit scaffold and hid.
The three men entered the temple. We see that it's the three S.T.A.R.S. members Kenneth Sullivan, Joseph Frost, and Forest Speyer. The trio entered the room, guns drawn. (Who else I'm going to use for bad guys? I killed almost everyone else in the first fic.)
"Knock, knock? Anybody home?" Joseph called out.
Kenneth smacked him in the back of the head. "Shut up, you idiot."
"Whose idea was it to put us as the bad guys?" Forest asked.
Kenneth shrugged his shoulders. "Beats me. Anyway, look around and see if you find what we're looking for."
Joseph went down another hall. "I'll find the Redfields."
***
Meanwhile, the Redfields and the Kennedys wandered down another hallway and into a room. Chris, Claire, and Leon went in first, and Jill was last. As she stepped into the room, Jill stopped for a moment and shook her head, as if she was getting sick. When she opened her eyes, she flashed the torch in front of her...
...and found herself having a vision. She was in the same room with the others, but they had vanished, and the room was well lit with torches and was guarded. The door in front of her began to open and a young woman stepped out of the adjoining room. When the door closed, she locked it with a lock that was similar to the lock-key used to unlock the Book of the Dead.
Then she found herself back in the present She flashed the torch in front of her. Nothing happened. After doing this a couple of times, it gained the attention of Chris and the others.
"If you do that fast enough,you could write your name," Chris mused.
Leon and Claire snickered.
"I just had a vision," Jill said. "It was like I was here back in ancient times."
Chris was banging against the door with the crowbar. "Okay if you were here in ancient times, then show us how to open this thing."
Jill walked over to the door and unlocked it. Then the door began to open.
"Now you're starting to scare me," Chris said.
"Starting to scare you? I'm starting to scare myself," Jill replied.
