The Mummy Boosh Returns.

Summery- Sequal to other one. Howard and Vince are still very much in love. But will their love last when they are transported to London, a very familar fmaily's home and the return of Imhotep.

Disclaimer- As before, nothing is owned by me. I wouldn't be writing this if it was.

Author's Notes- Finished. I would like to say thanks to everyone who's reviewed i love you all. I also thought this song kinda suited the chapter

How can you see into my eyes like open doors, leading you down into my core,
Where I've become so numb without a soul, my spirit sleeping somewhere cold,
Until you find it there and lead it back home.

(Wake me up) Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up) Wake me up inside
(Save me) call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up) bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up) before I come undone
(Save me) save me from the nothing I've become

Now that I know what I'm without, you can't just leave me,
Breathe into me and make me real, bring me to life.

(Wake me up)Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up) Wake me up inside
(Save me) call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up) bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up) before I come undone
(Save me) save me from the nothing I've become

Bring me to life (I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside)
Bring me to life

Frozen inside, without your touch, without your love, darling only you are the life among the dead.
All this time I can't believe, I couldn't see, kept in the dark but you were there in front of me.
I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems, got to open my eyes to everything,
Without a thought, without a voice, without a soul, don't let me die here,
There must be something more, bring me to life.

(Wake me up) Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up) Wake me up inside
(Save me) call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up) bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up) before I come undone
(Save me) save me from the nothing I've become

(Bring me to life) I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside
(Bring me to life).

-Evanescence- Bring Me To Life.

Chapter Eight- Resurrections, Scorpions and Home.

The curator snuck into the golden pyramid while the others were busy griving their loved ones, smiling when he saw the golden shine of the bracelet of Anubis in the sands. Placing it on his wrist, he stole into the cool interior of the temple.

--

Imhotep and Anck-su-namun entered the central part of the pyramid and walked down a set of steps made of sand. A gold crest bearing the face of Anubis was at the bottom and as soon as the mummy stepped on the centre of it. his body jolted as if he was eletrocuded. There was a low rumble from beneath his feet and he threw back and roared in frustration as a white vapor was sucked from his body, vanishing in the air. His immortal spirit was gone.

He staggered forwards, looking suddenly weak and astonished. He raised his hands and pointed at a vase on a pedestal, commanding it to rise, nothing happened "My beloved?" Anck asked, concerned.

Imhotep laughed maniacally "The great god Anubis has taken my powers. It seems he wishes us to fight as equals"

--

Howard was too busy trying to take care of Vince to realise Rick left them to avenge his wife's death. He would have gone himself to avenge his lover, but he couldn't bring himself to leave his body out here in the sand. Instead, Howard found a clean cloth and a canteen of water and set about cleaning the now dried blood of Vince's body, starting from the dried cut on his pale lips. Tears gathered in his eyes once more as he gazed at the large hand-sized bruises on the goth's cheeks, his eye now a purple-blue bruise.

He lifted the now ripped and stained top Vince wore and winced at the large cut on his pale stomach, the blood clotting slowly. Howard wetted the cloth with the remaining water and wiped very gently the red stain away until clean skin could be seen. He placed the top back down and gathered his lover once again in his arms, rocking back and forth while pressing kisses and tears in his limp hair.

Alex and Jonathan looked mournfully over in their direction, feeling Howard's pain. They liked Vince too, he was just as childish as those two. They gazed back at Evy's body and Jon looked for something to say "Try and think of it like this, they've gone to a better place, like the good book says..."

Alex looked at his uncle, his eyes burning with fires of inspiration "That's it, the book uncle Jon, the book!" He tore over to he jazz mavarick and whispered in his ear. Howard looked at him disbeliving, but was prepared to do anything to get Vince back. He gathered his lover in his arms once more and carried him towards the pyramid behind Alex, Jonathan staring at them in shock before picking up his sister's body and following them "What? What is it?"

--

The curator walked through the pyramid until he came to a relief of a scorpion carved into the wall, in each of its arms the carved image held a cruel weapon of combat, at its mouth was an opening. The curator looked down at the bracelet on his wrist and slid it into the hole up to his elbow, until he felt a handle and turned his arm like a key.

There was a deep snapping sound as the wall unlocked and suddenly an electric charge leaped from the scorpion, spreading out along the walls. Where it passed, the tarnished walls were replaced by golden shine. The bolt of power passed O'Connell, sweeping the hallway clean and passed out beyound the pyramid, through the jungle and divided into two sand dunes, one black and one gold. As the wave of divine power faded, an army of Med-jai warriors creasted the golden dune, with Ardeth bay at their head.

Rick entered the scorpion room to find the curator standing there, his arm still stuck in the wall "You are too late! I have released the army of Anubis! Lord Imhotep will soon take command!" He called out.

"Noe after I get through with him" Rick growled, grabbing a near-by double-bladed axe out of the scorpion's grasp. Then the curator started screaming as a loud cruching sound came from inside the wall, like something eating the arm, crunching his bones. Once he finally pulled his arm free, it came out as a bloody stump that ended at his elbow, unable to take the pain he ran down a tunnel, screaming in agony. O'Connell quickly backed out of the room, his axe raised.

--

Imhotep and Anck-su-namun entered the next chamber, a vast gateway covered in mist "I must face the Scorpion King alone" He said, putting a hand up to stop her, but she held his arm fast "No! Without your powers he will kill you"

Imhotep laughed and pointed to the Book of the Dead in her hand "If he kills me, you can resurrect me" He then kissed his eternal lover once more, before striding off into the gateway. She waited for a few minutes, then was interupted by Jonathan, who began dancing around with his arms raised in a fighting stance "Come and get it!" He challenged.

She smiled calmly at him, placed the book down and strode towards him "This is for my sister and friend" He said, still bobbing and weaving around. Anck shut him up with two quick jabs to the face, which made he teeter on his heels. As this happened, Alex took the book off the pedestal and went back to where Howard was waiting with his mother and Vince by the gateway "I hope this works" Howard muttered to himself, the hope in his heart growing with every second.

The Egyptian princess pummeled Jonathan with two more punches and a kick to his ribs "Hurry up Alex" He gasped out. Alex then started to read kneeling by Evy and Vince, remembering how his mother taught him to read hieroglyphics. The text seemed to flow more eaily from his mouth somehow "Hootash naraba oos Veesloo. Ahm kum Ra. Ahm kum Dei. Efday Shrokran-Efday Shokran..." He struggled to remember the last symbol "I don't know what it is"

Jonathan raised his spear frantically, trying to defend himself from Anck "What's it look like?"

Alex began flapping his arms like a bid "It's a bird, a stork" Anck grabbed Jonathan by the throat and started choking him "Ah-Ah-" He sputtered.

"That's it! Efday shokran ahmenophus!" His face shone wih a white light as two white mists came out of the gateway and into the bodies of Evy and Vince. Once the light had gone, gasping noises come from the newly awakened friends, like they've just came up for air after being underwater for too long. Evy was the first to recover and ran to her brother's aid, while Howard looked in disbelief as the blue came back to his boyfriend's eyes, the blood rushing back to fill the lips back to their normal color "Howard-what happened-what?"

"Oh God, Vince. You're alive-you're-" Howard broke down into tears again holding Vince close, enjoying the way warm breath played on his shoulder, but not enjoying the way warm tears dripped on it. He rubbed his hand slowly up and down Vince's back, hoping to comfort him and he also notised Vince didn't flinch with pain when he held him close "It's alright now, you're back. You've come back to me at last. I missed you so much" He pulled Vince's head away from his shoulder and wiped the tears from under those blue eyes he loved so much.

"Howard, I'm so sorry-I didn't even see him behind me...I love you so much. I'm so sorry for leaving you" The jazz mavarick's heart broke at Vince's apologie and bought his lips to his boyfriend's, giving him a searing kiss full of need and happiness of him being alive, that left Vince breathless. They remebered the others and watched as Anck-su-namun was shoved back by Evy and called to Alex and Jonathan "You two go and help Rick, this is my fight" They both raced off before the boosh boys desided to follow them, getting to their feet and running after them through the gateway.

The two woman were left alone, Evy snatching a small trident off a staue and began to circle the other woman, who moved catlike to face her holding a small dagger. Finally, Anck pounced, slashing at Evy, who slipped away and contered. Anck leaped backwards, avoiding the strike and they circled again, before she attacked once more.

Evy spun away, her foot kicking the other woman's legs from under her. Anck fell to the ground hard, and in that instant Evy was on her, her blade touching the other woman's throat. She was about to plunge the weapon into her rival, when a deep roar with the force of thunder shook the room. As Evy glanced up, Anck-su-namun slapped away the blade and sprinted through the gateway, Evy following.

--

Rick passed through the gateway and into a strange, dark cavern. Thick smoke hung low to the ground and eerie shadows played across the walls, making the room seeming impossibly huge, even for the great pyramid. And Imhotep stood at the far side, beside a huge set of doors, striking a huge gong with a pole. The note was os loud, so clead, so lone, that it shook the pyramid down to its golden foundations.

Rick charged forwards with the double-edged axe, but at the last minute, the mummy saw him and whirled around, catching a blow along the length of the pole. The two men struggled until both the axe and the pole fell from their hands and skittered along the ground, vanishing into the shadows "The eternal warriors meet again, now we shall see what Fate desires" Imhotep smiled.

--

Ardeth arranged his men along the top of the black sand dune, where the ten thousand Med-aj waited, creatures beginning to wriggle up and out of the sand, squirming towards the light. The army of Anubis was rising, they were two thousand storng, with the ropework of their muscles stretching tight across their chests. The jackel-headed creatures raised their weapons as one and let loose a barbaric cheer.

Without a word, Ardeth and his men raised their swords and charged down the sand dune to meet the enemy. The war raged on, Ardeth fought like a man possessed, slashing this way and that, tearing through the ranks of Anubis warriors. Around him, the Med-jai fought with the spirit of three thousand gathered years. They surrounded the monstrous soliders and began to work their way in, hacking and chopping.

Their circle closed tighter and tighter, until the Med-jai found themselves face to face, with not a single foe left standing. They let out a great shout of triumph-all except Ardeth, who knew something was wrong. He turned and hurried up the golden dune to survey the scene, and saw fifty thousand Anubis warriors charging towards them.

--

Bwyound the gateway, Imhotep and O'Connell fought a furious battle, the mummy proving as skilled in hand-to-hand combat as he had been at magic. They traded blows like titans, neither willing to give in, when suddenly the ground began to tremble-something was coming. The doors burst open and the Scorpion King emerged with a mighty roar.

From the waist up, he was as he had been in life, a powerful warriors, but below the waist, Anubis had turned him into a giant scorpion. The men broke off and backed away from the monster, the king cast a fiery, disdainful eyes upon them both, as though choosing. Finally with a howl of displeasure, it chose Imhotep and started forward, its multiple legs clicking on the golden sureface of the foor.

The mummy backpedaled, but he didn't move faat enough, instead he grinned wickedly as the king came closer to him. He crossed his arms over his chest and bowed low "I am your disciple, I am your disiple!" The Scorpion King nodded at Imhotep's servitude, and started on Rick instead, making the adventurer run for his life.

He dove out the way as one of the scorpion's claws hurtled towards him, slicing through the solid pillar at his back. It roared and followed after him, too quickly to be avoided and snatched Rick up like a rag doll and hurled him againest a far wall. He hit the unforgiving surface, then pushed himself to his feet. As he did, he glanced at the tattoo on his hand and a design on the wall and realised they were the same, but the figure on the wall was holding the scepter of Osiris.

The Scorpion King approached again, Rick ran to one side, but kept his eyes on the wall. Pictographs covered the flat surface, revealing the same man in several poses: holding the scepter, reshaping it and finally wielding it as a spear "Ok, now I'm a believer" He ducked as the scorpion's tail whipped over his head and cracked the wall behind him. He took cover among a row of three-foot-thick pillars as Jonathan, Alex, Howard and miraclously Vince entered the room, thier faces paling as they spotted the king.

"Jonathan, it's a spear. You gold stick thing, it's a spear!" Rick shouted "Yes? And?" Jonathan yelled back.

"It can kill him" Jonathan nodded in understanding, pulling the scepter out of his backpack. Alex snatched it off him and began to read the instructions on it, as Howard kept Vince behind him, hoping to protect him. The king's tail then tore through the pillars and slammed into Rick, making him fly in the air. He landed at some woman's feet and looked up to see the face of his wife. He smiled and felt new life flow through him, so he grabbed a trident and went after the king.

He threw the trident, but it just bonuced harmlessly off his shell "Hurry up and figure that thing out" He yelled at his son and brother-in-law. With a twist of the base, Jonathan finally opened the scepter of Osiris, revealing a sharp tip. Alex grabbed it and pulled it out an additional four feet-the perfect length for a spear. Jon then hefted the spear and ran towards the Scorpion King and hurled the weapon at the creature's back, but the king slapped it away with its tail.

The spear spun across the room like a propeller, but Rick leaped up and snatched it out of the air. Without missing a beat, he hurled the weapon again, this time it struck the king through the chest, where his heart should be. Imhotep ran to the creature howling in anger, as the Scorpion King roared in pain, before exploding into a ball of black vapor that threw every person in the chamber to the ground.

No sooner had the king vanished than the pyramid began to shake, the walls cracked and the ground split beneath their feet. A huge cevice opened up and both Imohtep and Rick slid towards it, each man clung to the broken edges of the buckled floor, below them was an abyss without bottom, a drop to eternity "Rick!" Evy yelled, running towards her husband.

"Stay back Evy!" He shouted. Imhotep looked at his eternal love "Ancksu-namun! Help me!" She lurked near the edges of the room, refusing to go any closer. The ground continued to buckle and rocks fell from the celing, smashing all around them.

Howard held Vince very close to him, nearly covering the smaller body with his own 'At least if we die, we'll die together' He thought as he felt vince grab for his hand, which he held tightly. Planting a kiss on his lover's head, Howard tried to at least move them to some sort of safety from the falling rocks.

Evy charged forwards, dodging falling rocks and reached the edge of the crevice. Dropping to her stomach, she reached down to Rick and grabbed around his wasit. Using strenth she didn't know she had, she pulled him up. Imhotep looked for his love, but she had already fled, so with a final grim smile, he released his hold and dropped into the chasm for all eternity.

--

Anck ran blindly, dodging falling debris and raching the room with the scorpion image just as a section of wall collapsed, revealing a moat full of wriggling scorpions. Her eyes widened and tried to rush past it, but a tremor lifted the flor and threw her backwards. She fell into the pit, screaming as the scorpions enveloped her, a moment later she was gone.

--

Ardeth and his fellow warriors stood, watching silently as the Anubis warriors got closer. They gritted their teeth and held their weapons in front of them, but as soon as the jackel-headed beings came close to them, they disappeared in a poof of black sand. The Med-jai looked in disbelief, then raised their arms to the heavens and cheered their victory.

--

The six remianing mortals raced through the golden pyramid as it collapsed behind them. They reached the entraceway with its two golden lions but could go no further, as a massive wind was blowing, sending trees and shrubs through the entrance down into the guts of the temple "How we gonna get out of here?" Vince yelled over the storm, keeping a tight hold of Howard.

Rick spotted an opening in the side of the pyramid where the ground had broken and fallen away "Follow me!" They climbed through the crack and found themselves on the outside of the pyramid near the entrance. Debris, ancient corpses and hissing skeletons were being sucked into the golden temple as if it were a ginat mouth, in fact the entire oasis had been uprooted and now the dirt of the valley swirled around the pyramid.

"We're trapped" Evy said, Rick wrapped one arm around her and the other around Alex. Jonathan huddled beside them, and Howard and Vince just held each other close, the goth hiding his face in his boyfriend's shoulder so he couldn't see the horror that was happening. Then they heard a familiar voice "Hey there!"

They all turned their heads upwards to see Izzy's blimp above them, being buffeted by the wind "Hurry up! I ain't got all day!" He lowered the blimp so Rick could hoist Alex and Evy up into the dangling trawler, followed by Vince and Howard. Then he and Jonathan jumped in after them, but Izzy pumped a lever that caused the blimp to raise suddenly.

Jon was unprepared fr this and fell backwards over the side, his foot tangled in the netting underneath. He hung upside down as the oasis below him swirled violently into the pyramid, Rick and Howard grabbing his other leg to pull him aboard, until he saw the giant diamond on top "Lower ne down!"

"It's not worth your life, you idiot" Rick called down "Yes it is, yes it is" Jon called back, grabbing hold of the shining gem "Now, pull me up! Pull me up!" A moment later, the pyramid was sucked down into the earth with a final, echoing boom! The ground sealed up and it was as if the oasis had never existed.

As the blimp rose out of the valley, Jonathan clutched his diamond like a baby, Evy and Alex gave Izzy an enormous hug, who blushed and just stared at O'Connell "What you been messing around with this time?"

"Oh you know, mummies, pygmys, big bugs, the usual" Rick replied, then looked over the side of the trawler. There were the army of the Med-jai, who raised their swords in salute, and Ardeth touched his heart with an open palm, then raised his hand to wave "Thank you again, ym friends" he yelled out.

The seven friends waved down and went back to want they were doing. Vince took Howard to the side and gave him the most passionate kiss he could muster, using tounge and a slight grope to the ass "Thank you...for bringing me back" He whispered when they parted "I think this belongs to you" Vince removed the golden key from around his neck and offered it to his shocked boyfriend, who just shook his head "No Vince, it's yours. You will always be golden to me, with the biggest heart of gold I've ever seen"

Then a flash of bright light blinded them and their friends as a portal appeared on the blimp, out of it stepped a small man in blue robes and a turban and a gorilla "Told you we'd find them in the next one, Bollo you jerk-off"

"Bollo just had bad feeling about this one" They stopped arguing when they felt seven pairs of eyes on them, two of them smiling with relief and happiness of seeing their friends and a way home "Come you two, we've got to have a talk about you touching my stuff without premission again" Naboo ordered, a hint of amusment in his eyes. Vince and Howard couldn't agree more and said goodbyes to their friends, hugs and tears all around before stepping into the portal and disappearing for good.

O'Connell got out of his shock first and glanced at his family, his heart swelling at his wife being alive again. He gazed into the sunset and just said plainly "Let's go home"
