I can't believe I just did that. I now remembered what the riddle said:
"You will find the combination you seek at the heart of pharaoh's tomb." Maybe Kahmunrah told them the riddle in the beginning because he can read the hieroglyphics. I really didn't know though. All I knew what that we were headed back to give the combination to a mad man.
We finally reached the castle and just as we got in I heard 3 people having quite a heated argument. I also saw the Wright Brother's plane smashed up against the opposite wall and the stained glass window in ruins.
I'm gonna take a wild guess and say this is the way Dad and the gang made it in here.
I then heard Kahmunrah say, "THAT'S IT! YOU'RE GOING TO GIVE ME THE TABLET AND THE COMBINATION NOW! OTHERWISE YOUR FRIEND HERE, AND ALL THE OTHERS ONE DIE!"
I gasped at this news, I didn't know he was so serious about this whole thing! I didn't want my family to die!
But just as Dad looked down and was about to say something Capone then yelled, "No need, we got the combination. It's pi. 3.14159265. Doll face over here sang like a canary." He then pulled me into him and said, "We wouldn't have known it if it wasn't for her."
I just stood there with my jaw hanging open. Great Capone, just tell everyone you tricked me into giving you the answer!
Kahmunrah then grabbed the tablet from Dad and said, "Well now we're in business aren't we?" He walked over to the stone sarcophagus and said, "And now, I will unlock the Underworld!"
He started to put the combination in. I finally broke away from Capone, I was pretty mad at him right now for telling everyone I was basically at fault for this. I started to get towards Dad when Capone pinned me to one of the pillars.
I looked up at him and said in a dangerous voice, "Let. Go. Of. Me. Now." Capone was pretty surprised that I was talking to him in that tone but his grip only tightened on me. I tried to wiggle out of it but he finally gave me an answer for holding onto me for dear life.
"Look babe, I don't know what dress boy's thing over there does and I ain't gonna let you just wander around and get hurt by it. I ain't takin any chances."
I sighed, I guess he had a point but I still wanted to go apologize to Nick and Dad. They seemed to read my mind cause they both looked at me and I said, "I'm so sorry guys. I didn't know."
They both looked at me and said, "It's alright Rosalie. You didn't know." But the thing was, in the back of my mind, I did know.
We then heard a humming sound and light started to evade out of the granite slab. Kahmunrah turned to us and said, "You hear that? That's the sound of a new age coming! The age of Kahmunrah!"
We then saw the stone gate open and out of it came soldiers, but they weren't any soldiers. They had the bodies of men, but the heads of birds. It was kinda creepy.
We were all staring at it in awe, and Capone was too distracted by it that he forgot about his hold on me. In other words, he dropped me and I landed hard on my butt. But I was too preoccupied to notice.
Capone, Napoleon and Ivan then started to move and I was dragged along with them. Guess they didn't know what Kahmunrah promised them entailed all this.
The bird men finally stopped coming out of the portal and then surrounded Dad and Nick. Kahmunrah then said something in Egyptian and they all raised their spears at them.
Kahmunrah then said, "Any last words?"
Just as Dad and Nick were about to speak we heard thudding footsteps. I turned to where the sound was coming from and saw Abraham Lincoln coming in through the broken window. He was gigantic!
He then spoke and said, "What is all this rumpus! And you sir, are in a heap of trouble!"
Kahmunrah then ordered his guards to attack him in Egyptian. They didn't get it. So he had to make squawks and bird noises for them to get it. They all threw their spears at Lincoln, but of course due to him being made out of stone, he was impervious to it. The bird soldiers were confused beyond all reason now.
Lincoln then took matters into his own hands and said, "Dirty half pigeons!" and started flicking them into the walls and just pushing them around. After they got over the initial brunt of the blow, they all ran back into the portal.
Kahmunrah was yelling at them to get back but they paid him no attention. They all just keep running back to the Underworld and the last one closed the door behind him.
We all just stood there and Kahmunrah broke the silence by announcing, "Well….. This is awkward."
Dad then went up to Lincoln and said, "Thanks Abe." Lincoln then said, "No problem. Just remember, a house divided cannot stand." And he winked at Dad.
Capone then said, "Well, whadda we do now?" Kahmunrah then responded, "I guess we can start by watching them DIE!" He was then about to advance on Dad and Nick when we heard a bugle blast from behind us.
We all turned around to see Custer and all our museum friends lined up, ready for a battle. He then said, "WE ARE NOT GOING TO ATTACK…. NOW! CHARGE!"
Everyone else responded with, "CHARGE!" and they ran towards us.
Capone, Ivan and Napoleon then ordered their men to also attack. I saw Octavious save Jed from the hour glass that was holding him captive. I then saw Dad and Custer talking. I guess Dad had to motivate him a little bit. I tried fighting some of Ivan's guards off because they forgot I was with Capone, but before I could get the chance I saw someone's fist go flying at the soldier charging at me. He was hit dead on and fell to the ground. I looked to see who saved me and saw none other than Al Capone.
He looked down at the guard, kicked him, and said, "Ain't no one gonna touch my girl!" I was then about to be attacked by some of the French soldiers and Capone did the same thing, beat them all down.
Everytime I tried to get in front of him too he always pushed me behind him. It was annoying! I finally pulled him aside and said, "Look, I'm a big girl I can handle myself!"
Capone shook his head at me and said, "Well it still ain't right for you to just be out there by yourself! You're stayin with me! Come on, you're Dad's got that tablet again and I don't think he's supposed to." I was then dragged with him to go confront my father.
Oh what a joy this is going to be. Wait, Lincoln said something about a house divided. Maybe that's what Dad's doing. Dividing Kahmunrah's house, which is held up by Capone, Ivan and Napoleon. Without them he's out of men and also help.
Ohhh, my Dad is good.
