Evi, Lin, and Alex were all brought down by the Aztecs. There were only about twenty villagers left, along with half the Medjai. There was nothing they could do to the friends that tried their hardest to save them. "This is it, I guess," Evi whispered to her son.
"There must be something,"
"Alex. We've already tried something, and it didn't work."
"You two sound so depressing!" Lin sighed.
"Well it's kind of over for us. I never thought I'd be brought down by South Americans," Evi said, forcing herself to smile.
"Dad would never let us down. You know that!" Alex said.
They all looked around, seeing all the sad faces of the villagers they were going to let down. "I'm... Sorry, Alex. You too Lin. I never wanted this to happen," Evi said, tearing up.
"You do know it's destiny that brings us to mummies, right? It's just bound to happen!" Alex grinned.
"What about Rick and Jonathan? Do you think they stopped Coatl from getting the book?" Evelyn asked.
The angry Aztecs turned their heads to see three men, one boy, and a girl come over the hill. "Yes, I do!" Lin cried, motioning them to the hill.
"They really did it!" Evi laughed.
The Aztecs looked worriedly as they saw what the Medjai was holding.
A feather from Coatl's headdress.
A loud murmur came from the villagers. "He's really gone!" one of them shouted, raising his arm up with joy. The others followed his actions and yelled words of relief and appreciation.
Coatl's army started for the plane wreak, shot with fear. Without their leader, they were nothing. They all froze in their tracks when a flash of light brighter than the sun itself gleamed up in the sky. A powerful voice bellowed from it. "Coatl is dead! The village is saved from destruction by the family that was brought to us!" the sun god then turned to the O'Connell's. "you have changed history, my friends. You will be returned to your home, where you can continue your great works." he continued.
"Uh, now?" Jonathan said, in the middle of talking to a young Aztec girl. "Do you think, we were-?"
"-made for each other?" the girl finished his sentence for him.
"Common Jonathan, we don't have all day!" Evi sighed, not wanting to annoy the god of light. While the couple continued to carry on their conversation, the sun god turned his attention to the villagers. "You are free, my people." he said, waving his hand over them. They began to slowly fade away, back to their own time. "No! Just five more minutes!" Jonathan wailed, holding the girl in his arms. She faded away into the air, her sad smile looking at him. "NO!" he cried.
Evi and Rick turned to Acalan. "Thanks little buddy, we'll always remember you." Jonathan said for them.
"And me you. I've never met people quite like you before." Acalan replied sadly.
Before he fully disappeared, the sun god gestured towards him. A gold chain appeared in Acalan's hands. "You've earned it, brave one." he said.
Acalan looked at the strange object. "What is it?" he asked.
"It will allow you to travel through time whenever you want," the sun god answered. "Maybe in a couple of weeks I shall visit you in London!" Acalan laughed.
"I can teach you how to play video games!" Jonathan grinned.
"I'd like that." he smiled, giving him a hug.
"Be good for your parents!" Evi said, before he dissolved into thin air.
The sun god turned his attention to the evil bunch of warriors. He swiped his other hand quickly above them. "The underworld awaits you," he said sullenly. Their painful cries got carried away in the soft breeze, echoing on to the sky. That only left the Medjai standing alone in the presence of the god. "You can return to guarding the sands, great Medjai. You are lead by an excellent leader," he motioned to Ardneth, "teach them well." he smiled. Ardneth nodded respectively, turning around back to their camp.
With everyone gone, Alex remembered one thing. He ran back, hauling Izzy with him. "All I ask is one favor. Please save our friend; without him we couldn't have defeated them!" Alex pleased. Izzy could hardly keep his eyes open.
"As you wish," he said softly, sending a single ray of light onto his chest. Izzy's eyes popped open, feeling recharged. "Wow! Thanks strange talking cloud!" he said, staring at his hands. "We can help you fix your ship if you'd like," Evi offered.
"Nah, I've been meaning to get rid of that piece of junk!" Izzy laughed.
"You will now be returned to England," the voice faded out, like a whisper across the open sand. The O'Connell's waited in silence for something to happen. "Um, anytime today would be nice!" Rick yelled up to the sky.
A rumble seemed to shake the whole earth. "The sky is falling!" Jonathan cried. They all closed their eyes and waited for the worst to unfold. With a bang, their eyes opened to see they were sitting in their chairs, with only windblown hair as the only thing out of the ordinary. The room was completely silent, accept for their heavy breathing. The movie theater employee burst through the door, looking around furiously. "What the heck did you do to...? The... Theater?" he yelled, seeing the wreckage around the blank screen. "Sand? Everywhere? Forty seconds alone and you destroy the place?" he said, dialing the manager's number into his phone. "Time to go!" Alex said, grabbing Lin and heading for the door. "Good idea!" Evi agreed, hauling Jonathan up from his chair.
"But, I want popcorn!" he cried. Once they were outside, they wished they'd stayed inside the theater. Coatl's wreckage tore down the street, all the people with no place to go. They all glared at the city troublemakers, knowing something as up. "Hey honey, how do you feel about a vacation any time soon?"
Izzy sat hopelessly on a piece of broken ship, staring into the open, setting sky. The sun barely hovering over the horizon. "uh, sun dude? Anything left for me? Anything? Anyone?" his voice faded into the emptiness. "O'CONNELL!"
