"Well, we're here and the beacon's behind the pyramid on the right according to Argyle's text," Josh said as he and everyone else hid in a nearby alley. After they had gotten back to Rob's safe house after a failed attempt to save Caveman Cooper, Argyle programmed the transporter to send them back to Ancient Egypt in order to save the next Cooper in line; Slytunkhamen Cooper II.

"All right. What's the plan, Josh," Rob asked.

"I'm thinking that you and Sean could go asking around with the locals, Lara and Sonia could search the city, while Manik and I search inside the pyramids. First team to find Slytunkhamen reports to the others with their results."

"Good plan, Josh," Manik said.

"Definitely a good plan," Lara added.

"Great, then spread out," Josh said before everyone went their separate ways in order to find Slytunkhamen Cooper II.


"Are you sure this was a good idea?"

"Of course. I wouldn't have suggested it if it wasn't in the first place."

"Point made," Manik said as he and Josh continued to trek through the desert sands towards the pyramids. After hours of walking through the desert, Josh and Manik found themselves on the verge of collapse.

"I can't go on any longer, Josh," Manik said, close to falling down to the sand.

"Neither can I. Just keep holding on, Manik. Just keep holding on," Josh said before collapsing. Moments later, Josh found himself in a darkened room lit only with a few candles.

"Dad, is that you?"

"Just relax. You've been out there in that desert for a while," a shadow next to Josh said.

"I had a crazy dream. I went back in time and I had to bring together a team of heroes," Josh said.

"Well, you're okay now. Back in Ancient Egypt."

"Ancient Egypt?!" Josh stood up to see Slytunkhamen sitting right next to him.

"Are you okay, Josh," Slytunkhamen asked.

"How'd you know my name," Josh asked.

"Your friends were smart to bring you and that other hedgehog here. They're waiting in the other room so you can take me back to the future."

"They told you about our mission?"

"They did and I told them they were right. I felt like I was being followed by the wrong kind of people," Slytunkhamen said.

"So you'll be coming with us," Josh asked.

"I will. That other character convinced me to come with all of you."

"You mean Rob?"

"Ah, yes. He did say his name was Rob," Slytunkhamen said.

"I was right. A Cooper was needed," Josh said.

"Just relax. You'll be back in your own time soon enough."

"I better relax until I'm back in Rob's timeline." Josh then lied down to get some rest before he and everyone else returned to their point of origin.


"He'll need some rest while he's recovering from the sun's rays because of his walk through the desert," Slytunkhamen said after placing Josh on the couch in the other room.

"I'll look after him and make sure he's okay," Sonia said.

"Of course. I'll be heading off with Rob so we could save the next ancestor in the Cooper Clan."

"Be safe, Slytunkhamen."

"I will," Slytunkhamen said before stepping into the transporter.

"Is Sonia staying to look after Josh?"

"She is. I believe Josh will be in very capable hands with her."

"All right. Where's the next stop of our adventure through time?"

"The Dark Ages, home to my medieval ancestor, Sir Galleth Cooper. Argyle, if you would be so kind," Rob said.

"Give me a minute to punch in the right year," Argyle said as he typed in the coordinates of the Dark Ages. "There. Just step on the main platform and you'll be sent to the origin of jousting, knights, and pestilence."

"Awesome. Thanks, Argyle."

"No thanks are necessary. Just save the Cooper Clan while you have the chance," Argyle said as everyone stepped onto the platform.

"We will," Rob said before he, Slytunkhamen, Manik, Sean, and Lara were transported to the Dark Ages.


"If I was a medieval thief, where in a castle would I be hiding," Lara asked herself as she walked through the halls of the castle she was currently in. Once they had gotten to their destination, they split up with Slytunkhamen going north, Sean going south, Manik heading east, Rob heading west, and Lara looking inside the castle. Because she was too lost in thought, she didn't see the komodo dragon coming up behind her until it was too late.

"Just relax, sweetheart. It'll be over soon enough. You're only leverage I'm using to get closer to my boss' goals," the komodo said as he dragged Lara's unconscious body away.


"All right. We've got Galleth, so let's get back."

"Indeed. I thank you for saving me from those heathens. Only a true Cooper would do that," Galleth said as Rob led him and everyone else to the beacon that would bring them back to Rob's safe house.

"No thanks are necessary, Galleth. As long you're safe, that's all I care about," Rob said.

"That's too bad." Rob and Galleth looked up to see Lara being restrained by her captor.

"Rob, get out of here!"

"Quiet. Hand over that Cooper or she'll be the one taken away instead," the komodo said.

"No. I already lost one ancestor. I'm not about to lose another."

"Fine. I'll see you later anyway." The komodo then walked away from Rob with Lara still in his grasp.

"You made a noble sacrifice, Rob. I'm sure the others will think you made the right choice."

"It's not them I'm worried about," Rob said before he and Galleth resumed their walk towards the beacon.


"What the hell were you thinking, sacrificing my girlfriend like that, Cooper?!" After they had gotten back, Rob had told everyone the hard choice had to make to save Galleth. Manik, Sean, Slytunkhamen, Josh, and Sonia thought that he had made the right choice. Argyle, however, wasn't of the same mind.

"I had to, Argyle. He wanted Galleth for Lara and I wasn't about to lose another ancestor."

"Well, now you can save the others without me. You're on your own," Argyle said before storming out of the room.

"That went just as I expected," Rob said.

"Don't worry, Rob. He's just pissed because you gave Lara to save Galleth. He couldn't see that the score's one lost ancestor and two saved," Sean said.

"Thanks, Sean. That means a lot." Outside, Argyle was fuming about Lara and how Rob sold her out to save his ancestor. He then looked at the necklace around his neck with his lover's name engraved on it.

"I hope you're safe wherever you are, Lara, for Rob's sake."
