An Unlikely Alliance
The lighted street lamps rolled over the Hot-Ra, illuminating the occupants faces for a second before plunging them into darkness yet again.
It was a stormy night, the clouds gathered over head covering the stars with their thick bodies as the rain droplets started to fall on the darkened road that rolled put beneath the awesome vehicle. There was a tension within the air, but none spoke, none dared to.
Pulling up to the museum the headlights of the Hot-Ra illuminated the damp street and buildings before shutting down and leaving all in darkness yet again. The four mummies exited the vehicle and headed for the museum. The door was locked.
"Now what" Nefertina asked angrily glaring at the oak doors.
Armon walked up to the doors and with one swipe of his golden arm slammed the door right of its hinges and into the next room. There was an awkward silence.
"What" he asked innocently.
Deciding not to answer they instead headed into the dark museum.
It was dark, they treaded carefully for fear of tripping or worse, being ambushed. Nefertina was the first to find a light switch and with one flick the entire room was illuminated by the electrical bulbs that occupied the building.
"Well," she said "That's an improvement."
Rath didn't even bother to comment, his exhausted body didn't allow him to.
"Seeing as we have light we shall search the building for any clues as to who had robbed it" Ja-kal said matter of fact "Nefertina you and I will search these Chambers, Armon you and Rath will search the upper chambers, is that understood?"
"Uh….no" Armon said
"What do you mean 'no'?"
"Because I can't do what you ask of me" he whined.
"Why not Armon?" Nefertina butted in.
"Because Rath is not here"
"What? Why didn't you say anything?"
"I had only noticed until now!"
Ja-kal heard them arguing but he really wasn't listening, he had heard something in the other room and was curious as to what – or who – it was.
"Hush!" he spat, the two simmered down simaltainasly.
"What is Ja-kal?" Nefertina edged toward her leader.
"I believe I heard something in the next room, follow me and be quite"
The other two deciding no to test Ja-kal's mood followed quietly through the dimly lit chambers. They entered a rather large room, it was filled with dozens of statues representing the gods of ancient Egypt; Wadjet, Ra, Horus, Anubis, Bastet, Thoth and many more loomed within the Chamber.
"How nice of you too join me," Ja-kal stopped in his steps as he came face to face with fire red Snake eyes.
Rath walked casualy through the hallways, away from Ja-kal. Were am I going? Why am I leaving them behind? He couldn't understand it, but for some reason he needed to get away from them, far away. Opening a wooden door he entered a huge stuffy room littered with old Egyptian vases, treasure dug up from the tombs and many more ancient Egyptian artifacts.
"No respect for the dead," he spat viciously to no one in particular.
"Self-experience?" Rath's blood ran cold, he had not expected to be answered, but that was not what had shocked him so. Turning around slowly Rath's green eyes grasped the image of a person he had not seen in over 3500 years.
"Rath, you look like you've seen a ghost" the high pitched voice licked Rath's ears like a demon would lick its prey. 'It can't be,' his mind went into over drive, you were never mummified, you spirit would not have entered the gates of our ancestors dwelling how can this be?'
"Will you not greet me," a devil's smile curled onto the rat's face 'brother?'
"With the strength of Ra!"
"Heka?"
She did not answer, instead she dropped her head and started to shake slightly. Ja-kal was confused, if this was an attack by Scarab it would have been put into practice long before. No, this was something else, though if it was good or bad he was not sure either.
"What are you doing here Heka?" Ja-kal said loudly.
The snake lifted her head, her red eyes had lost their blazing fire spirit, her golden skin seemed dull and her entire attitude was the very picture of utter exhaustion.
"I lured you here," she said "to ask for your help."
"Why should we help you?" Nefertina spat vicously.
"Because," Heka seemed to be out of breath "Because two people each of witch at least one of us care for are in terrible danger."
"And who is that? If we may ask!"
"Rath and…" she swallowed "…and Scarab"
O hope you enjoy this one and sorry for the cliffy, but other than that I kinda liked it, it ends a bit stump though, but I stil liked writng it! okay I am rambling here sorry for the long wait, but the next hapter is almost finished and will be up in less than a week and then sad to say we're in the home stretch...or are we?
