Cindy duct out of Hoteps reaches and ran only making Hotep angrier. Hotep chased Cindy, she could see him getting closer.

She looked to see Libby and tossed the dagger. "Keep away from Hotep."

Libby grabbed the dagger "I caught it."

Hotep looked to Libby and she paled "Oh no."

Hotep ran towards her only to have Libby fake him out and run up the stairs. Hotep followed and Sheen ran to the edge of the stairs "I'm open, I'm open."

Libby dropped the dagger and it spun fallowing to the ground. Sheen picked up the dagger "Hey undead dude I got your fancy knife."

Hotep leaped from the stairs.

"Uh-oh." Sheen then dashed away from the stairs.

Hotep grabbed Sheen by the back of his shirt. Jimmy heard Sheen scream and Sheen tossed the dagger to Carl.

Carl grabbed the dagger and ran Hotep furious at Sheen went to strangle him but Jimmy had run in and swung his sword.

Sheen as well as Hotep's newly severed arm. Hotep grabbed Jimmy and tossed him across the room and he dropped the sword. Jimmy hit the wall hard and fell to the ground.

Hotep looked to Jimmy's watch and picked it up. He looked to the watch intrigued. He looked to Jimmy "No more help for you."

Hotep then crushed Jimmy's watch in his hand. He looked around the room and saw Carl shaking in the corner of the room like a frightened mouse.

Hotep grabbed his severed arm and reattached it then walked towards Carl. Jimmy struggled to stand up he had to help Carl.

Libby ran and grabbed the book she looked through the book. She looked to Hotep "kadish mal , kadish mal paraduce paraduce."

Suddenly Queen Hasabataslapya's spirit along with Anubis appeared before Hotep. Anubis lifted Hotep in the air and Hasabataslapya reached into Hoteps body. She began pulling something out.

Hotep struggled but not escape Anubis's grip. Suddenly Hasabataslapya pulled out what looked to be an arm. Then the rest of an ethereal body.

Hotep frightened watched as Anubis dropped him and carried off the spirit of Hasabataslapya and the spirit that was ripped out of him. They disappeared in a blue light.

Jimmy looked to Libby "Where did you learn Ancient Egyptian?"

Libby let out a sigh of relief "Mama showed me her college books."

Hotep looked to Libby with rage and then turned to Carl and charged for the dagger. Carl ran and tossed the dagger to Sheen.

Then Sheen waved the dagger at Hotep "Want this?" Hotep charged and Sheen tossed it to Libby who then tossed it to Cindy. Hotep growing more enraged by the second.

Cindy jumped onto the table and was about to jump to Jimmy. She then felt someone grabbing her ankle.

She fell onto the table she looked to see Hotep smiling. She then looked to Jimmy and tossed him the dagger.

The Dagger slid a crossed and Jimmy grabbed the dagger.

Hotep lifted Cindy up "The dagger or her life choose." Jimmy looked to The dagger then to Cindy.

"Fine let her go and I'll bring you the dagger."

"Put it on the ground and kick it over here," Hotep said squeezing Cindy's neck.

"Not till Cindy is safe."

Hotep released Cindy and Jimmy lowered the dagger to the ground. Hotep nodded and Cindy ran to Jimmy. Jimmy then grabbed the dagger and threw it at Hotep.

Hotep grabbed the dagger just before the point could reach his chest. Cindy then ran and did a flying kick hitting the dagger's pommel and drove it into Hoteps chest.

Hoteps eyes went wide his body ignited his flesh soon began to melt from his body returning to its mummified state. His muscles faded and he fell to his knees.

His screams echoed in the room. He looked to them all saying something no one understood his whole body then returned to its fully mummified state. Still, on fire, the remains had turned to ash.

Libby grabbed the book and Jimmy grabbed the dagger. He then looked to Cindy "Glad to see your safe Cindy."

She smiled "Thanks for coming to my rescue Jimmy."

Jimmy reached around her and pulled her in and he pressed his lips to hers. Cindy returned the kiss with equal passion.

Sheen and Carl gasped and Libby shook her head "Finally!"

Jimmy and Cindy separated and Cindy looked like she enjoyed the kiss.

Libby looked to them "Hate to interrupt you love birds before you start making out again but lets get out of here."

Meanwhile Eustace and Blix filled another bag filled with gold and walked out of the chamber.

They soon discovered that they were surrounded by men in robes armed with swords.

"Blix, what the devil is going on here?"

Blix looked to Eustace "Well sir it looks like were surrounded." Blix raised his hands in surrender.

Jimmy and his friends came out and saw Eustace and Blix surrounded.

Professor Bey revealed himself. Jimmy smiled "Professor Bey you're alive!"

The Professor smiled "Ahh James good to see you and Hotep?"

"Gone we also recovered the dagger and book."

"Smashing, when you were gone my friends the magi came to my rescue."

The Professor nodded then looked to Eustace "Ahh I'd like to thank you for you're more than generous donation to the destiny museum and our storage room. That is if you don't want to face the Egyptian Justice system."

Eustace was about to protest but agreed.

A few days later Jimmy was finished repairing the Astrocar. Cindy walked out in shorts carrying a canteen. She looked to Jimmy and whistled.

Jimmy looked down to see Cindy and he jumped off the roof. She starred at his abs and Jimmy laughed "Can't believe I'm saying this but Cindy my eyes are up here."

Cindy blushed then had her own wicked idea. She drank from the canteen "That's good cold water hate to get any on my white shirt."

Jimmy laughed "My girlfriend the minx."

She handed him the canteen and while he drank she looked to the Astrocar "So how long till we can head home?"

Jimmy wiped his mouth "Few more minutes and will be airborne thanks to Professor Bey's donation."

Cindy smiled and leaned into her boyfriend "And when we get back."

Jimmy smiled "I'm going to take you home and" he whispered into her ear and she blushed.

Libby and the guys came out "So we heading home or what?"

Professor Bey walked out "Before you go may I suggest visiting an oasis."

When repairs were made they visited the Oasis. They jumped into the oasis for a much-needed break after saving the world again.
