Episode Fifty-Five

"History in Parallels"

"Where shall we start?" the Goddess Ma'at asks, walking along with the others back towards the stolen vehicle.

"How about, what are you, really?" Taylor asks, walking beside on her left as Neah walks on her right.

"I am Ma'at," the woman replies, "Daughter of Bennu, sister-wife of Thoth."

"Bennu?" Jilan looks down at Pizoku beside her.

"The Phoenix of Egyptian Mythology." Pizoku is feeling his head swirl a bit with all that has happened.

"So, you're actually gods?" Ashlee asks the woman in front of her.

"No," Ma'at responds. "But we were once thought to be."

"Like the Goa'uld," Ashlee smacks Reese on the arm. "This is so a Stargate episode!"

Ma'at stops and whirls around. "Goa'uld?"

Neah walks up to her. "You recognize the name?"

Ma'at nods. "Yes, they came from the world we left."

Neah exchanges knowing looks with Taylor. "You come from a parallel world."

"Yes," Ma'at affirms. "We came here to help. Not to conquer."

"It goes along with the descriptions of what the gods were like," Reese adds, rubbing his arm.

Pizoku stands off from this a bit, by Jilan. "Should I worry about how in stride you all seem to be taking this?" He asks, looking up at the taller alien.

"No," Jilan smiles at the Japanese boy. "We probably should be though."

"How do you relate to the Ancient Ones?" Taylor asks, a bit confused.

Ma'at frowns in thought. "That sounds familiar."

"We were told that the Book of Ma'at would tell us what they were and how to stop them," Taylor explains.

"They're trying to conquer the planet," Reese adds. "Kinda Goa'uldish"

"The Book of Ma'at is the book of Truth," Ma'at tells them. "It was kept in the Temple."

"Where you were buried," Neah realizes. "But grave robbers moved you, and now you're here."

Taylor sighs. "Looks like we need to go to Egypt then."

Meanwhile, in London...

"Oh, Ronald!" Ally Cat wails as Naomi the Lawn Gnome and Kitty the Rat drag her out of Big Ben.

"Will you be quiet?" Kitty hisses at the morose feline.

"You do realize that wasn't the real Ronald Weasley, don't you?" Naomi finally says.

Ally stops, but sniffles a bit. "He wasn't?"

"Something isn't right." Naomi and Ally turn to look at Kitty who is looking around the street. "Do you feel this?" He asks. Naomi pauses. Something did feel off, a little more, magical almost.

"Something isn't right."
