"You must leave here at once!" Omar told Amelia.
"And you are...?" Amelia replied.
"Prince Omar Karam," The Egyptian prince introduced himself. "I'm in charge of this excavation with Diana Spellman, 'Dashing' Dustin Starling, Dr. Benton Quest, and Dr. Thaddeus Venture."
"A prince!" Amelia laughed while lowering her sunglasses. "Charming... Now, out of the sandbox, kids... Playtime's over!" she then said as she removed her cloak to show her underclothes which were black gloves, a black tank top, black tight pants, and black boots with equipment.
"She looks like Lara Croft." Mike commented.
The figure just glared at the intruders and soon flew away.
"Mike, did you feel that?" June asked. "It sounds like we have company."
Mike merely nodded in response.
"Wait, you can't go in there!" Jessie told Amelia.
"Watch me." Amelia smirked back at them.
"No," Haley said as she stood in front of the woman. "I won't let you go inside."
"Oh, boys, take out the trash for me, will you?" Amelia commanded while snapping her fingers.
"No, leave her out of this." Jonny defended.
"Yeah, that's our best friend." Hank added.
"Too bad I don't really care." Amelia replied.
The muscles of the group soon grabbed a hold of Haley to dispose of her. Brock stood in front of his daughter, gritting his teeth, and his left eye twitched as he grabbed the man with the muscles by his throat.
"This could get ugly." Penn said while Cindy covered her eyes as she didn't wish to see any violence.
"Thanks, Dad." Haley smiled innocently.
"Stay away from my little girl, you son of a bitch!" Brock growled as he then tossed the man aside.
The man yelled out and soon crashed in the background.
"Anyone else wanna feel my wrath?" Brock threatened.
The people who were with Amelia just shook their heads quickly.
"Isn't my uncle the coolest?" Eddy grinned as he nudged Ed and Double D.
Ed just laughed while Double D looked disturbed.
Amelia arrived inside of The Sphinx with the other treasure hunters and the group, she grabbed two sticks and threw them in the torch, lighting every single torch and there was then a picture of a woman shown. "Hello, gorgeous." The blonde woman smirked.
Everyone oohed and awed as they followed Amelia and her crew inside of the Sphinx.
"This is awesome!" Fred smiled as he took pictures.
"Oh, could that be Cleopatra?" Cindy asked as she saw a woman's image before them.
"The greatest woman who ever ruled," Amelia beamed. "Cleopatra: last of the Pharaohs. On top of her head is the golden crown, and around her neck is the Ruby Ankh Necklace."
"Oh, Velma, that's just like your-" Dee Dee began.
Velma cleared her throat to make Dee Dee stop talking.
"Uh, I mean, wow, and I thought Daph knew how to accessorize." Mike smiled nervously as she covered Dee Dee's mouth.
"The tomb itself is sealed," Amelia said. "Imagine the crown of Cleopatra waits behind waits behind this door." she then placed an item which was beeping.
"Please wait, we have translated the hieroglyphics," Omar told her as he read from a dictionary. "'Thus spoke Cleopatra, a curse on those defile The Secret Tomb of the Pharaohs'-"
"'The Nile will fall and the desert will rise'," Amelia continued. "'The army of the undead will awaken, and all who enter will be turned into stone unless with my future descendants' from Ramses and Dedyet'." she then laughed at the last part.
The crew then laughed out loud with their boss.
"The Nile will fall," Reba added. "Hey, we've seen the river, it was completely dry."
"But what does 'the desert will rise' mean?" Jonny wondered.
"And awaken the army of the undead?" Hadji added.
"Let's hope they have a snooze button." Shaggy gulped.
"Reah!" Scooby added with a whimper.
"Ramses and Dedyet?" Mike asked herself. "I feel like I know those names from somewhere."
"Nice try, Cleo, but we didn't come all this way to be completely empty handed." Amelia said.
A machine soon went off.
"If there is an undead army down there, our equipment will detect it." A helper told Amelia with a smirk.
"They won't be undead for long." The other helper added as he pulled out his sword.
"Please, Dr. von Butch, in the name of archaeology, let us treat this tomb with respect," Dr. Quest begged. "Its secret will be revealed in time!"
"As curious as I am, I have to agree with Dr. Quest." Diana added.
"Me too." Dustin nodded his head.
"Yeah, I know, blah, blah, blah, can we just get on with it?" Dr. Venture deadpanned.
"I couldn't agree more; there's no time like the present." Amelia said before pushing a button on her remote which destroyed half of the walls with hieroglyphics.
"She just destroyed 2,000 years of history." Omar frowned.
"Don't worry, Omar, if the curse doesn't stop her, we will." Velma comforted.
"I swear, Ramses and Dedyet, I feel like I've heard those names somewhere before..." Mike scratched her head.
"Maybe that's from one of your monster girlfriends," Eddy suggested. "What's her name? ...Oh, yeah! Cleo De Nile!"
"Cleo, that's it!" Mike snapped her fingers. "Those are her parents."
"Cleo, huh?" Penn asked in interest.
"Too young, Penn!" Cindy scolded.
Penn just pouted, and everyone heard moaning sounds coming from the destroyed hieroglyphics.
"What was that?" Cindy asked.
"Like, that's the spookiest 'stay fresh' seal, I've ever heard!" Shaggy shook as he held Scooby in his arms.
"Reah, me too!" Scooby added.
"It's The Curse of Cleopatra." Ed stated.
"Ed, there's no such things as curses." Eddy said.
"What about the Curse of Code Lyoko?" Cindy asked.
"Well,... Uh... That's different..." Eddy said.
Suddenly, some sort of aura energy came and went outside that made some people look confused.
The man who had come with Amelia went upstairs and saw a desert storm. "Hey, Doc, I think you b-better check this out." He then said.
Amelia rolled her eyes slightly and came to see what he was talking about. Everyone came out as the sand storm was filling the area and it looked impossible to pass with the blinding sand.
Brianna held onto her head and yelped as her orange bandanna came undone and soon flew with the storm. "MY BANDANNA!"
Double D held his hat as tightly as he could and saw Brianna's bandana went past him, he quickly grabbed it with one hand, and the other held his hat.
"Thanks, Double D!" Brianna said in relief.
"No problem!" Double D smiled to her.
"The desert will rise..." Omar memorized. "It is the curse!"
"Okay, somebody else tell me it's a mirage!" Shaggy panicked.
"Unload now!" Amelia commanded. "We need the Geothermal Sensors!"
"No, we must seek shelter!" Omar replied.
"Everyone back into the tomb!" Diana suggested.
Everyone then rushed back inside the tomb as Omar tripped into it.
"Shaggy, Scooby, where are you!?" Daphne yelped as she held Fred's hand.
"We don't know, but if we do, we'll send you a postcard!" Shaggy replied.
"Haley? Haley! Where are you?!" Jonny called out as he held his dog in his arms.
A wooden stand soon broke and a tent flew in the air and untied a bunch of oil drums together. One oil drum soon came toward Shaggy and Scooby and knocked them back into the underground tomb and they bounced down the steps.
"I DON'T WANT TO TURN INTO STONE!" Ed cried out as he grabbed Eddy and Double D down the steps, but tripped over his shoes and knocked them and the Venture brothers down the steps.
"Nice going, Big Guy," Hank groaned. "I was just about to save Jessie's life, and even get a kiss from her."
"You're welcome!" Ed smiled.
"That wasn't a compliment...?" Hank replied with a slight deadpanned headache.
"I never thought I'd hear myself saying this, but man, am I ever glad to be back in this creepy tomb." Shaggy stated.
"Me too." Scooby added as he got sand out of his ear which morphed into a sandcastle.
"Now do you believe us, Eddy?" Double D asked. "There is a curse!"
"I don't see why I should believe in any curses when you didn't believe me about Rolf's phone?" Eddy scoffed at him.
They soon saw Omar, but he was turned into stone.
"Hey, Omar, boy, are we glad to see you." Dean said in relief.
"Wow... Talk about a guy giving you the cold shoulder." Shaggy commented.
"Uh-oh," Double D told the others. "Gentlemen, he's been turned into stone!"
Shaggy then screamed and jumped into Scooby's arms.
"S-Stone?!" Scooby yelped.
"Let's get out of here before we're next!" Hank suggested.
"Guys, what're you doing?" Daphne asked as she came with Brianna and Penn while Cindy was flattened by Shaggy and Scooby.
"We're heading out to the nice sand storm!" Shaggy replied nervously.
"But why?" Fred asked as he helped Cindy up while she cracked her back out of pain.
"Like, just look over there!" Shaggy pointed to the new stone statue. "Prince Omar is a rock hard boulder and could be second cousins!"
"We gotta get out of here." Hank added.
"Uh, Hank is it?" Jessie replied to him. "Could you get off of me?!"
"I just wanna make sure you're safe." Hank replied sheepishly.
"OFF!" Jessie demanded.
Hank soon got off of the redheaded girl.
"Hmph." Jessie then pouted as she dusted herself clean.
"Smooth move, 'Hankanator'." Eddy deadpanned.
"She'll come to me, you'll see." Hank replied.
"Sure she will." Eddy laughed.
"Oh, no, Omar!" Velma gasped.
"That boy's been turned into a royal statue." Reba frowned.
"Impossible!" Amelia called out as her crew soon came inside at the top of the second flight of steps. "How can this be?!"
"It's just like it said in the curse!" Penn told Amelia.
"Hmm... 'And all who enter will be turned to stone'..." Amelia memorized.
"Unless they know the descendants of Ramses and Dedyet de Nile," Mike added. "I once went on a date with Cleo back in Monster High, and I remember meeting Tanis back at Ms. Grimwood's school."
"We tried to warn you, and now look at what you've done!" Dustin told the others.
"We've gotta do something." Haley said.
"Stick with the plan," The strong man said while turning on his goggles as they flashed green. "I'm switching to night vision."
"Copy that, we are live," The woman added as she held her device. "Waiting for your signal, Dr. von Butch."
Amelia looked up to Cleopatra's image before approaching towards it.
"Dr. von Butch?" The woman asked.
"It is now or never." The man added.
"All right, on my signal." Amelia ordered.
"NO!" June told her. "What's it gonna take to stop you?!"
"Nothing short of an army," Amelia smirked. "MOVE OUT!"
"I want to rip her to shreds." Mike threatened.
"Dean, is there any chance that you can change into your other form?" Hank asked his brother.
"No, Hank." Dean coldly replied.
"Why not?" Hank asked.
"I don't want to," Dean shook his head. "I'm gonna wait until we see that Dexter kid so I can finally be put out of my misery."
"But it's cool, and with that power, you can help protect Gi." Hank replied.
"I don't care, I don't want it." Dean huffed.
"Aww... You're no fun, and I wanted to see you go on your other side like The Hulk." Hank pouted.
"Too bad." Dean glared at his brother.
Everyone followed Amelia inside of the tomb.
"It's all downhill from here." Amelia said as she and the strong man carried flashlights.
Something seemed to awaken with glowing white eyes as they explored on the inside.
"But this doesn't make sense," Cindy said about poor Prince Omar. "Why would the strike curse Omar? He only wanted to protect the tomb!"
"Well, gang, it looks like we got another mystery on our hands." Fred told the others as usual.
"No, Freddy, we don't." Velma told him.
"Huh?" Everyone else asked her.
"I'm sorry, guys," Velma said. "It's just too dangerous; if something would've happened to you guys, I would never forgive myself."
"Hold on!" Shaggy told Velma.
"Is he finally going to tell her how he feels about her?" Penn gasped to Cindy. "Please tell me he does, I ship Vaggy!"
"It's Shelma!" Cindy glared.
And of course, this got them into an argument about the Pormanteau Couple Name.
"Will you two stop arguing before I turn you both into stone?" Mike threatened.
"Sorry, Mike." Penn and Cindy replied.
"Uh, no, not that," Shaggy blushed slightly. "Erm... Did Velma just say we're not gonna try to solve a mystery? Like, I must still have sand in my ears!" he then tapped one ear until sand flew out from the other, landing on Scooby's nose.
Scooby then took out a tiny archaeological brush and dusted himself clean.
"But what about Omar?" Brianna asked. "We can't just leave him like this."
"Come on, Velma, we've got to follow them down the tomb." Trent added.
"He's right," Fred added. "Maybe we can find a way to reverse the curse."
"Hmm... At least we've got Omar's journal," Velma told the others as she picked up the book beside the Egyptian prince. "It could help guide us safely by the chambers. Okay, guys, let's go in!"
The same figure as before narrowed its eyes at the group. Mike's ears twitched as she looked around.
"Sense anything, Mike?" June asked in a knowing tone of voice.
"Yeah, and I don't think that it's friendly." Mike replied.
The figure soon swooped down and tried to attack the gang, but everyone dodged.
"What was that?" Jonny wondered.
"Look! Up there!" Hadji alerted.
Everyone saw a bird hybrid woman with long red hair wearing a blue outfit.
"Well, hello, gorgeous." Penn greeted.
"Penn! That's the Harpie Lady!" Cindy told him. "One of the Duel Monsters!"
"Ah, I thought she looked familiar..." Penn said innocently. "Still kinda cute."
Cindy just groaned and face-palmed.
"I see that I'm quite famous." The bird woman hybrid commented.
"Incredible..." Dr. Quest gasped to the monster. "I never imagined that Duel Monsters would end up being real."
"Rest assured that we are real, but you won't be for long." Harpie Lady said before summoning a whip.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, time out!" Mike told the harpy lady. "Maybe we can talk this over!"
"Like I would talk things over to those who disrespect our masters and destroy the history." Harpie Lady huffed as she spread her wings and flapped them hard enough to make a giant gust of wind attack them.
"She's using a Wind Attribute!" Cindy gasped.
"No, really?" Penn replied. "We didn't know."
"Okay, Sarcastic!" Cindy glared at Penn.
"Come on, let's just talk!" Mike coughed. "I may had never properly met harpies before, but come on! I mean, I've heard of Quill Talyntino from Monster High."
Harpie Lady pulled out her whip and grabbed Mike with it.
"Mike!" Cindy cried out.
"Let go of me!" Mike told the Harpie Lady. "I just wanna talk to you!"
"Sorry, I don't talk with those who disrespect our masters." Harpie Lady told her.
"Well, I'm sorry that I have to do this then." Mike said before she broke free from the whip and soon punched the Duel Monster in the face.
"Ooh!" The others winced to that.
"Now, before you go and saying that men shouldn't hurt ladies, you should know that I'm no man." Mike glared to the duel monster.
Harpie Lady wiped her lip and her eyes glowed as yellow armor and spikes were being put on the bird hybrid woman.
"Oh, no, this is bad," Cindy warned the others. "If that armor appears, then that means she's going to summon her sisters!"
"That child is right." Harpie Lady told the others.
"Uh, sisters?" Penn smiled nervously. "You never said anything about sisters, Cin."
"Well, you didn't ask me!" Cindy defended. "They call themselves 'The Harpie Lady Sisters'."
"Harpie Lady sisters...?" Penn asked uneasily.
"They cannot be normal summoned," Cindy memorized from the book. "Must first be special summoned with 'Elegant Egotist'. They are each Level 6 monsters and are super rare."
"So, we're safe, right?" Penn asked nervously. "They don't have that... Elegant Egotist, or whatever it was you said."
Cindy smiled nervously. "Uh, sure."
Harpie Lady chuckled as if by cruel fate and brought out the card that had said 'Elegant Egotist'.
"Listen, ma'am, I'm Mike Mazinsky, and listen, my friends and I, we didn't disrespect your masters or your hieroglyphics, that was Dr. Amelia von Butch." Mike told the monster.
"I don't believe in trusting you," Harpie Lady glared. "You will all pay for invading the tomb of Cleopatra."
"Listen, do we really look like the kind of people who would do that?" Mike replied.
Harpie Lady narrowed her eyes at Mike and then looked at them all.
"Come on, have a heart." Mike told the duel monster.
"Very well, you may all live, but one slip up, and I'll feed you to my pet dragon." Harpie Lady replied.
"Pet dragon?" The others asked uneasily.
A skinny red dragon with golden jewelry and blue stones hissed as he came out while glaring at the others, but stayed beside his mistress.
"That's Harpie's pet dragon," Cindy said. "I read about him."
"Thanks for the newsflash." Penn deadpanned to Cindy.
"Hey, you wanted to know more about Yu-Gi-Oh." Cindy defended.
"We may meet again, Mike Mazinsky, sooner than you think." Harpie Lady told the tomboy before flying off.
Mike flinched from the flight as it blew air against her face.
"Well, that sure was something." Double D commented.
"She was beautiful and amazing," Cindy added. "Aw, man, I didn't even get her autograph."
"Anyway, while you guys go on your little mission, Scoob and I will keep Prince Omar company," Shaggy chuckled as he shuffled a deck of cards. "Hey, Scoob, how 'bout a round of Go Fish?"
"Reah!" Scooby smiled.
"No, way, guys, there's no splitting up this time," Fred told him. "Like Velma said, it's too dangerous; we'll be better off if we stick together."
"Stay close by me, Trent, I don't want ya gettin' possessed by beetles like in them Brendan Fraser movies." Reba told her nephew.
"Don't worry, Aunt Reba; I won't be possessed," Trent chuckled. "And I'll make sure that you don't get turned into stone."
"Aw, well, aren't you a sweet honey lamb?" Reba cooed to her nephew. "You always know how to make Aunt Reba chipper as a woodchuck."
Mike looked over towards where the Harpie Lady flew off. "I'll be waiting..." She then whispered before following the others down the tomb.
"Any story where Eloise goes to Egypt?" Penn asked Cindy.
"Oh, that would be an interesting concept." Cindy giggled.
