In a proverbial den-of-iniquity were lots of deals going down. An older guy with a walrus mustache was drunk and talking to some tough customers. He was wearing British WWI fighter pilot gear.
"I'm the last of the Royal Corps still stationed out here, you know?... Oh some bloody idiot spilled his drink. All the other laddies died in the sky and were buried in the sand."
The tough customers shove him away. Winston staggers over to Rick, Nubia and Jonathan at the bar, not missing a beat.
"Ever since the end of the Great War, there hasn't been a single challenge worthy of a man like me.
"I've heard it before, Winston." Rick told him, shoving him away. He then made his way over to Jonathan and Nubia.
"I just wish I would've chucked it with the other laddies, gone down in a flame of glory, instead of sitting around here, rotting from..."
"...boredom and booze," Rick muttered, knowing Winston's tirade well, it would seem.
"Cheers!" said Winston, taking Jonathan's drink and downing it. "Oh well. Back to the airfield!, Ladie" He slapped the two men on the back, laughing as he wobbled away.
"Tell me, "Rick ask Jonathan. "has your sister always been..."
"Oh yes, always."
"Undoubtedly." Nubia says smiling a little.
"Hi guys." Jonathan greets Henderson and Daniels sitting next to them
"Tails set firmly between your legs, I see." Jonathan decided to say as he finally took his drink.
"Yeah, you can talk," Henderson replied. " you don't have some walking corpse coming after you."
"Calm down honey." Nubia grabs him by the shoulder. "Everything will be fine." kissing his cheek.
"So, uh, how's your friend?" Rick decided to ask Daniels.
"He had his tounge and his eyes ripped out, how would you feel?" He said, irratated.
In another part of the fort, Burns was currently have visitors in his room: Beni and a stranger in some ragged robes and a Eygptian death mask.
"I'm so glad to meet you" Burns spoke with a severe speech impediment. He also had a bandage around where his eyes would have been. He reached out his hand to shake hands with the stranger but Beni stopped him.
"Prince Imhotep does not like to be touched, silly Eastern supersition I'm afraid"
"Please forgive me" Burns pleaded, leaning forwards and knocking over a cup of tea on the table.
"Mister Burns, Prince Imhotep thanks you for your hosbilality, "Beni says and Burns smiles a little." and for your eyes,... and for your tongue."
"What?" The expression on Burns' face starts to change, very puzzled.
"But more is needed, the Prince says he must finish the job, consummate the curse which you and your friends have brought down upon yourselves".
Burns screamed as best as he could as Imhotep took of the mask, and showed his horried corpse like face.
"Good luck, boys; lady." Rick said before the five put the liquor in his mouth and then spit it out disgusted.
Other people who were drinking there also spit out their drinks and look disgusted and confused.
"Sweet Jesus, that tasted like...like..." Henderson voice fell as they all spied the red liquid that was now flowing through the fountain.
"That's ..." Nubia looks horrified by the fountain.
"...Blood" Rick finished.
"And the rivers and waters of Egypt went red and were as blood" Jonathan says remembering the first plague while Henderson looked at Nubia, scared.
"He's here" Rick said, walking off to find Evy.
"Who's here!?" Jonathan asks confused
"The guy! The Priest! THE MUMMY!"
"Burns." Daniels looks scared at Henderson.
Evy and Hana walk quietly through one of the fortress gardens reading a few books.
"How could you give me blood to drink, do I have a vampire face ?!" A woman walks upset.
"I swear it was tea!" A man says as he follows her. "I do not understand what happened.
"Did you hear that?" Hana asks confused. "Did she say blood?"
Evy nods surprised and confused.
"Evelyn! EVELYYYYNN!" Rick shouted as he ran towards them. "Hana!"
"Oh, so you're still here." Evy says calmly while she and Hana turn to see him.
Rick began to chuckle worriedly.
"We got problems."
A loud thunder rang over them and everyone turned to see the dark clouds as the fireballs spit at them. People were screaming and running when Rick grabs Evy's hand and she grabs Hana's hand and they look for a safe place to hide while they watch the fireballs falling in front of them and a few people start to burn.
""It's like I said!," Hana says scared. "When the victim of the Hom-Dai was to come back the ten plagues would come back with it."
"He's here! I saw him! That thing is here!" Rick shouted out above the thunder.
"What?" Hana asks scared the moment the whispers begin to be heard nearby and she turns scared.
"The creature? Are you sure?" Evy asked, confused.
Rick gives her an incredulous look and gestures at the hail and fire.
"Pretty sure!"
Suddenly, hail and fire stopped and everything went silent. The three sighed with relief that it was over, but there was a creepy scream coming from the living room directly above them.
"Oh no, Burns is there!" Hana says scared as she climbs the stairs.
"Hana wait!" Rick runs after her followed by Evy.
Hana enters the room and stops in horror when she sees Burns, or what was left of him, lying dead on the floor, his body was wrinkled at half its size, drained of all organs and liquids.
"Burns!" Hana recoils terrified.
"Hana!" Rick enters with his gun in his hand and stops just like Evy when they saw Burns's body.
"Merary!"
The three turn and look at Imhotep standing on the other side of the room. They watched as he regenerated, a thick skin formed on his powerful new musculature. The tendons rippled and their bones swelled and reformed. His mouth opened to an inhuman size when he groaned and screamed in severe pain, then it was over. I could see that he had an incredibly muscular vision, like a corpse, of hell.
"We are in serious trouble." Rick stated as the mummy moved towards them, staring at Evy and Hana. "Back off, creep."
Imhotep kept coming so Rick opened fire, blasting him with bullets. But Imhotep didn't seem to mind. Rick stepped forward and threw a right hook; his fist just went straight through the Imhotep's face. Rick stared at it and then yanked his fist back out. The mummy then turned to Rick angrily and threw him across the room into Jonathan, Henderson, and Daniels who had entered the room, they all got knocked down.
Nubia just when the four fall and is paralyzed to see Imhotep who is watching, but to see that she is not a threat he turns to see Evy and Hana who back terrified.
"You saved me from the undead," Imhotep approaches Evy. "thank you." He looks at Hana. "Little sister, after the ceremony, nothing will separate us again, I'm sorry, I couldn't save you." extending his hand "Come with me."
Hana swallowed but did not know why but her hand slowly approached Imhotep's hand. The noise of the piano is heard and Imhotep turns around and sees a white cat, when he sees it he is frightened to see it and turns into a slight tornado of sand that comes out quickly through the window leaving everyone scared and confused by what just happened.
"Girls!" Nubia runs to hug them.
Daniels and Henderson approach slowly and look at their friend's body with a mixture of sadness and horror.
"The curse. The curse." Henderson said, kneeling next to Burns shriveled body.
"We are in very serious trouble"Rick says while looking at the window.
"Oh really?" Nubia looks at him raising her eyebrow.
Cairo Museum of Antiquities
Rick, Hana, Nubia, Jonathan, Henderson, and Daniels followed Evy across the Ramesseum in Cairo's museum of antiquities.
"He wants Evy to Hana." Henderson says seriously.
"But for what?" Jonathan asks confused.
"I think I know but I hope I'm wrong." Nubia says nervous.
"There's only one person I know who can possibly give us some answers." Evy says turning into a large room. Inside, they saw the Dr. Bey talking to Ardeth Bay "You!"
"Ardeth?" Hana blinks surprised.
Rick and the Americans quickly drew their guns and aimed at the Medjai.
"Carnahan's, ladies and gentlemen." Dr. Bey nodded.
"What is he doing here?" Evy demanded.
"Do you truly wish to know? Or would you prefer to just shoot us?" Dr. Bey asked them.
"I just saw my fist vanish into some guy's head." Rick says, sliding his gun back into his shoulder holster. "I'm willin, to go on a little faith, here."
Everyone then moves into positions around the Seti the first display.
"We are part of an ancient secret society, the Medjai, and we have a sacred mission, passed down throughout thirty-nine generations. For over four thousand years we have guarded the city of the dead. We are sworn at manhood to do any and all in our power to stop the High Priest Imhotep from being reborn into this world." Dr. Bey explained.
"And because of you, we have failed" Ardeth said, annoyed."
"And you think this justifies killing innocent people?" Evy asked appalled.
"To have stopped this creature? Yes!" Dr. Bey confirmed.
"Okay, let's cut to the chase. He's afraid of cats, what's that about?" Rick questioned.
"Cat's are the guardians of the underworld, according to Egyptian superstition. He'll probably fear them until he's fully regenerated." Hana explained and received a nod from Dr. Bey.
"Right! And ya know how he gets fully regenerated?" Daniels cried hysterically. "By killing everybody who opened that chest and sucking us dry! That's how!"
"Yes, the creature must first try and regenerate, and then he will attempt to resurrect the one he has loved for more than four thousand years." Dr. Bey confirmed.
"Anck-su-namun." Evy muttered.
Dr. Bey and Ardeth looked at her surprised.
"Evy, tell them." Hana grabs her shoulder.
"In the necropolis, when I saw him alive, he called me Anck-su-namun Hana Merary." She explained.
"Is this true?" Ardeth asks Hana and she nods.
"It is because it was you who read from the Book. He has chosen you to be the human sacrifice needed to regenerate the body of Anck-su-namun." Dr. Bey told her.
"Bad luck old mum." Jonathan said looking at his sister.
"Merary." Rick repeats as he gets up. "Isn't that the name of the mummy that you and Nubia found in Hamunaptra?"
"I just remembered something, for sure you are going to want to kill me for not warning you, but at once I tell you that I did not know." Nubia says nervously and everyone looks at her. "When Henderson and I were on the ship I went to check the sarcophagus and ... and I saw a flower above it."
"A flower in the sarcophagus?" Daniels asks surprised and then gets up scared. "That thing was in the same boat as you ?!"
"Believe me, I also just remembered that, and just thinking about it and more than we now know that that mummy is here, I still think that fortunately he didn't kill us on the ship." Henderson hugs Nubia.
"That mummy was after Burns, it was obvious that he would end with him first." Rick says seriously.
"Who is Merary?" Daniels asks confused since he doesn't understand why that name is important.
"It is the name of one of the two most important women in the history of Imhotep" Dr. Bey approaches a table of hieroglyphs with the image of Merary with her face and name destroyed. "Merary was Imhotep's younger sister, her most beautiful treasure."
"He wanted her to be Seth's wife, a priestess but she just wanted to get married and have a family." Ardeth says seriously.
"Surely he got mad at her." Rick says.
"No, Imhotep accepted it since he just wanted to see her happy." Dr. Bey responds. "She was killed in front of him by Pharaoh Ramses II after Imhotep and Ank sunamun murdered her father and for some reason her sisters were also victims, he wanted Imhotep to feel what he felt."
"Of course he repented, he sent to make statues for her but his wife became jealous that she managed to get one of her children to destroy the face and name of all the statues and data of her, I think she wanted to avoid going to the world of the dead." Ardeth crosses his arms. "Even we, the Medjais, forget her name."
"Until Miss Halsey found the chamber with the mummy and intact statue of her, thanks to that we could know her face and her name." Dr. Bey grabs some photos. "But, her face was not as I imagined." Showing them.
Everyone grabs the photos watching the chamber surprised.
"She ... she looks like you!" Henderson says surprised
"Amazing." Daniels looks at the photos.
"Then why doesn't he go for his sister's mummy?" Rick asks confused.
"I think that after he had his sister's reincarnated body he would use you as the new body for his sister."
" Dr. Bey says worried while looking at his niece.
Hana recoils in fright as she now knows what the mummy wants from her and knowing what he can do or what he will do to her terrifies him.
"Hana." Ardeth grabs his shoulders. "I will not allow the creature to harm you."
Hana nods scared and hugs him.
"Possibly, now that we know what he wants and avoid it, we could find a way to defeat him." Dr. Bey says as he grabs his niece's shoulder.
"Well, we better find and destroy him quick, his powers are getting stronger" Nubia says, looking out of a window the whole time.
"...and he stretched forth his hands towards the heavens, and there was darkness throughout the land of Egypt" Jonathan quoted, making chills run through everyone's spines.
