Sorry I've been off, I took the holidays off and my Birthday so that explains it. But I'm back on the writing, both this and many stories. Also legally anyone can do my Magnificent 10 stories, but your versions, look up the shows.
Lastly Steven is older now, so he'll look like Steven Universe Future. Also a fanfic friend had some great ideas but I was too far so I needed to start over in what I was writing and I was 15 pages ahead.
Also after this chapter I'm going to verify this. When I said "The Crew of the Nautilus", it also includes Mowgli, Jameriah, and her family. So after this when I write the crew from here on out it mean everyone, the Crystal Gems, M10, their friends, and everyone. Just to be clear and so I won't have to over write.
August 11, 1886 the scroll is being read by the intelligence members of the crew; Jean, Connie, Ashitaka, Marco, Dipper, and Number 2 read it over and over until Number 2 yawns and sleepily puts the lantern down on the scroll, to reveal a hidden map, that shows it can only be revealed by heat. So they with lemons and candles and sees the map of Hamunaptra.
In Nemo's room, Connie and Number 2 presents the map and Pirate Captain, and Ms. Grandis happens to be in the room as well. Connie points to image on the map: "You see the Cartouche there is the royal symbol of Phararo Seti the first." Nemo being skeptical as he looks through his magnifying glass: "Perhaps." Ms. Grandis and the Pirate Captain are intrigued by this news. Ms. Grandis asks: "First off: who the hell was Seti the First?" The Pirate Captain adds: "And was he rich?" Number 2 answers: "He was said to be the wealthiest Pharaoh of them all." Ms. Grandis says about him: "Oh, I'm liking this fellow, like him very much."
Connie points to the map: "And the image of a city right here. It's Hamunaptra." Nemo realizes this and say: "If what you're saying is true. That the book of the dead is buried there. But people have been saying that Hamunaptra is a myth. Build on ancient story tellers, to amuse Greek and Roman tourists." Connie makes reply about this and justifies the realism from past experiences they had: "I know but many myths drive from truth. We're all perfect examples of that. From the Mysterious Island, cursed gold of Cortez himself, Bill Cipher, Davy Jones and many other things we faced in our lifetime."
Pirate Captain asks if he heard the name of the city right: "What a minute. We're talking about the Hamunaptra?" Connie answers with a smile: "Yes. The City of the dead. Said where the sons of Pharaohs were buried and sent where the wealth of Egypt is buried as well." Ms. Grandis says regarding the treasure: "So you're saying the whole wealth of Egypt? who knows how high it is?" Nemo scoffs regarding the treasure. "Oh, everyone knows this story. The entire city was rigged to blow under Phararo's command. Taking the treasure with it." Nemo, the members of the M9 care about the treasure, but all they know the black book is there, so they head for Ciro Egypt. They traveled by ship on the seas from India to Egypt then took the next carriages to the city of Ciro.
25 days later September 5 1878 in Ciro Egypt, 34 members of the Crew are in Ciro The M9, Marie, Tyrone, Wendy, the CGs, the misfit pirates and Ms. Grandis and her men and three of Nemo's crew consists of him, The Helmsman, Mowgli, Jamerhia and the Sonar officer and their animal companions. They each divided and use the gold they collected from the Mysterious Island to pay for working tools, such as axes, hammers, pickaxes, and chisels. The Crystal Gems buy food and cloths suited for desert terrain. Meanwhile Dipper having a hard time buying enough camels and mules for the journey, but the camel sales man's being difficult and uncooperative. Dipper angrily says to the merchant: "Look, I only heed 10 mules and 20 camels, i'm not asking for the whole herd!" They argued for over an hour, the Helmsman says in annoyance: "Dipper will you just pay the man?" Dipper groans and says: "Oh, for pity sake." He gives enough of American currency that can be turned into Middle Eastern currency to buy the camels and mules.
The merchant was pleased by the trade and gives the camels and mules to Dipper and the Helmsman they bought. In another store, Nadia, Pearl, Amethyst and Jamerhia are the ones purchasing the desert cloths and food. Bismuth, Hudson and Sanson are buying the tools they need. Steven, Marco, and Mabel are buying food, water and blankets for the journey.
At the docks, there's a ship on the Nail River, that will lead them to the next city that will lead them into the desert to find the city of the dead. The crew meets up at the docks and Nemo asks on the list on what they have and need: "Do we have everything we need?" Jean Bismuth, and San holding the tools. Jean says: "We have the tools, some spare parts and a few explosives." The two women nodded in agreement. Ms. Grandis adds: "We also have food, medical supplies, and cooking utensils." Pearl, Nadia, and Amethyst holding cloths: "We have enough cloths, blankets and camping equipment for desert environment." Pirate Captain, Curvaceous Pirate, Albino Pirate, Pirate-with-Gout, and Pirate-who-loves-kittens holding the other camels and mules with Dipper and the Helmsman. Dipper says: "And we have all the camels and mules. along with our animal companions." Marie holding some dolls who looks likes the Magnificent 10, she says with joy: "I just brought a lot of toys." Nemo says: "Well we have everything we need for this journey, so pack everything onto the boat." As the crew carries all the supplies and lead animals onto the ship, a familiar voice is made. "Dipper? Mabel?"
They turn seeing a familiar face; Pasifica Northwest the heiress of the Northwest fortune wearing a desert adventurer's cloths and pint-hat.
The Pines twins were shocked to see her, Mabel says in a surprised tone: "Pasifica? What are the odds?" Dipper says also in a surprised tone: "Yeah, what are you doing here in Ciro?" The heiress groans and answers: "My father's trying to regain our family fortune, after the whole Bill Cipher thing, and lost our house. So he looked through our family's." She leans in and whispers. "Thieving family members." She talks in a normal voice. "Turns our one of my ancestors has a little hexagon thing with a map in it. Turns out my grandfather was an adventurer who has the map leading to this Hamunapatra or something." Dipper corrects her: "I think it's pronounce Hamunaptra." Mabel says with a smile: "What a coincidence cause we'..." Dipper stops her and says on her behalf: "No where! Not the same place you're going!" She was confused in Dipper's responds.
Dipper turns his sister around and whispers: "Mabel, you're not suppose to reveal where we're going to her." Mabel asking whispery: "Why not? It's obvious we're going in the same place. And besides you two could use this to reconnect." Dipper huffs in annoyance she thinks Pasifica and he would be a great couple. They break up the huddle and continue to talk to Pasifica. Mabel asks: "So how did your grandfather got the map?" Pasifica remembering her whole family's ways on getting rich: "Apparently he stole it from a research group back in his day." Dipper with a stoke tone and face: "Why am I not surprised?" Pasifica adds: "Also he's hired three adventurers and a Egyptologist."
They turn to see Preston Northwest wearing an adventurer cloths/suit and a pint-helmat, he also has hired three American Adventures, who are his bodyguards and a British Egyptologist. They board the boat to begin the journey, Preston stops and notice the Pines twins, but to remembering them says in both shock and surprise: "Pasifica Northwest why are you speaking with the riffraff?" But before they could answer he remembers them. "Oh wait, you're the Pines twins, now I remember."
Dipper sarcastically says: "Well I'm flattered. So Pasifica toiled us you're trying to get rich again." Mabel mockingly adds: "What's the matter? Mudflap's not working?" Preston answers in a serious tone: "I'll have you know, since I sold my house, I had to sell the Mudflap factory just to keep more of fortune, but we lost it all. I tried oil, mining, and cattle ranging but none of them stick. Finding oil is harding than it sounds, as for mining all the silver and gold vain in Oregon is just as hard. and cattle ranching... I rather not talk about it." He said remembering the horrible side of ranching. "And I'll have you know the Northwest will be rich again even if it kills us."
Dipper asks: "So how are you gonna get rich?" Preston answers: "Well thanks to my father, I have a map that'll lead us to Hamunaptra." Dipper and Mabel was shocked so to play acting like they don't know Dipper to just scoffs while Mabel laughs really hard. Dipper mockingly says: "Ha really? Hamunaptra just a fairy tale." Preston argues not with words but with a map waving it mockingly, as he boards the ship.
Unknown to them a group of men wearing black robs hiding in the shadows in the alleys. They watch the crew of the Nautilus, the (former) rich man, his daughter his bodyguards and employees board the ship. The leader of the group says in Arabic: (Translation)"Contact the chiefs, tell them the adventurers will die tonight." One of the robbed men has a falcon with a message note on it's leg, it flies off, as the men sneak away further into the shadows.
That night, on the Nile river the men were dressed in black still but were now assassins, some covering their faces, to hide their identities. The leader puts a hook like blade on his left hand.
The three American Adventurers/bodyguards who named Daniels, Henderson, and Burns are playing on a poker with the Helmsman and Pirate-who-loves-kittens. Next to them reading a book is the Egyptologist who's named Dr. Chamberlain. Preston did hired for the journey to Hamunaptra.
Daniels says to Burns who's cleaning his glasses: "Come on Burns. Quit playing with your glasses and cut the damn deck already." Burns replies finishing cleaning his glasses: "Without my glasses I can't see the deck." As they started play poker, the Helmsman asks: "So the Northwest guy hired you guys?" Daniels answers shuffling the deck: "Yeah, he said when we find the treasure we'll each get 1-4th of ol' Seti's treasure. Minus Dr. Chamberlain, he doesn't care about the treasure." Pirate-who-loves-kittens asks the Egyptologist: "What's in this for you?" Dr. Chamberlain answers with a smoking pop: "Well other than my name in the history books. I discover a piece of lost Egyptian culture."
Pirate-who-loves-kittens says about their mission: "Well we're also searching for Hamunaptra as well too. But reasons are privet." Daniels says as he unfolds the cards: "Well 500 dollars cash bucks American says we'll get there before you." Both Helmsmen and Pirate-who-loves-kittens look at each other thinking they'll win and both says: "You're on!" Mr. Henderson smoking a light cigar says reaching his hand out: "Well, it's a done deal." They shake hands. "Thank you. We'll see you there." They went back to playing poker.
In the room where Steven, Connie, Dipper and Mabel are sleeping in they are unpacking their cloths, the coming into the room is Garnet. Garnet says with a small smile yet still in a stoke tone: "Hello everyone." The four youths replies at the same time: "Hey Garnet." The three eyed fortune teller steps in and sits down on one of the lower beds. She talks about the current journey: "So we're going to find the fable Hamunaptra. And there will find the Book of the Dead, to bring Stat back. Do any of you have any questions of what future may hold." Mabel asks regarding the past adventure: "Well Garnet not mean to complain or anything. But when Steven was freeing Mowgli and San from the circus cages. Why were you pulling your punches on that Rhino guy?"
Dipper now realizing this and asks also: "Yeah. I mean you and Bismuth are the few strongest we know outside of the Magnificent 10 group." Garnet explains to them: "It's true I do posses great strength. And using my future vision I saw many futures. I saw 10 where I killed the Rhino, and the circus people chasing us still and where we beat them up. And by the corse of those ten timelines, they would report to the British Constable who would report to Queen Victoria and Toffee, they would know of our mission, and try to stop us. So in the timeline where we i just beat the Rhino, and Pearl threatens to shoot the ringleader. Knowing they be scared and cut their loses. So I did what I had too." Steven says: "So, if you hadn't pull your punches, we still be hunted by the British empire, and Toffee who would stop us?" Connie says in understanding: "I can see that. Since the Queen has a whole navy and army. And knowing Toffee he's hired the worse kind of people to hunt us, they won't stop till we're either captured or dead." Since they know she can see multiple futures, and since they're being hunted by the British empire's forces and a criminal crime boss they can't take chances especially on British territory.
Meanwhile on the ship side is Pasifica sitting in a chair near a table reading a book. Then Tyrone places a bag on the table which spooks her. Tyrone apologizes: "Sorry Pasifica. Didn't mean to scare you." Pasifica replies acting like she's unfazed: "The only thing that scares me, future Dipper or Tyrone or whatever you call yourself, is your manners." Tyrone unfolds his bag revealing weapons from fire arms, to melee weapons, and small weapons, Pasifica is confused at what she's staring at.
Pasifica asks the future version of Dipper: "D-did I miss something? Ate we going into battle?" Tyrone replies loading one of his pistoles: "Pasifica, if you learned anything about us. Trouble always seems to follow us. And from what I heard the desert people believed that Hamunaptra is cursed." Pasifica says in realization: "That could be true. But my father believes that he'll find the lost treasure of Egypt. What are you looking for?" Tyrone answers cleaning his shotgun: "Well if you took a head count of the Magnificent 10, there's only nine."
The heiress questions this: "Why's that? Did you guys broke up or something?" The future version of the male Pines twin answers: "You see a few months ago, Davy Jones came to collect a debt that he and Star made three years ago. She couldn't pay, and tried to out run him. But he sent his killer pet the Kraken, she sacrificed herself and went down with the Nautilus as good measure." Pasifica just leaves thinking he was telling her a tall tail, she heads back to her room.
Tyrone finishes with his weapons, and rolls the bag up, he looks down on the floor notice wet footprints, he felt something was off.
In Pasifica's room, the heiress just finished having a bath, and puts on her nightgown, she brushes her hair as she looks in the mirror.
Preston was in the hallway and notice a man wearing black robs entering Pasifica's room. He felt something wasn't right.
Pasifica opens the mirror door for some perfume, when she closes it, she gasps seeing man in black robs with a hook for hand. He grabs the heiress by the neck, turns her around and threatens her with his hook. The man asks in a demanding and threading dark voice: "Where is the map?" Pasifica Frighteningly answers: "I-i-it's there." She points to the map on her room table.
The man asks again: "And the key? Where is the key?" Pasifica replies with a question: "Key? K-key, what key?" The Preston rushes in, the hooked handed assassin uses Pasifica as a shield. The man says to Preston: "If you want your daughter alive, you'll give the map and key." Preston on the other hand just takes the map, and rushes out, Pasifica angrily yells: "Dad!" Preston yells as he runs away: "Sorry, sweetie but Seti's treasures' too good to pass..."
While the black-robbed-hooked-handed-assassin was surprised to see that a man would abandoned his daughter, the heiress just has a disappointed scowl on her face. The assassin says: "I cannot believe a man would sacrifice his own daughter, for mere trinkets." Pasifica says dryly not surprised given her family's past: "Believe me. My family has no sympathy even for family members. If you saw what my family did over the centuries you'd be shocked."
Then Dipper, Tyrone, and Mabel burst into the room and all shout at the same time: "Pasifica!" Tyrone pointing two pistols at the assassin, Dipper holding a sword, Mabel aiming her grappling-hook-gun. The Assassin asks the three rescuers: "What will it be? Will you save the girl, or run like cowards?" But before they could answer, another assassin with two pistole bustlingly opens the window doors, and starts shoot, Tyrone started shooting the assassin killing him. Pasifica takes the opportunity and uses a lit candle and stab the hooked assassin in the eye, he screams in pain has he hold on his eye.
As the three rescuers and one heiress were running out the room, a third assassin take place the assassin Tyrone killed, Mabel uses her grappling-hook-gun she fires it, hitting the assassin in the head, knocking him out.
Meanwhile the other assassins were attacking the ship, killing some of the workers, while also fighting the other members of the M10, the Crystal Gems, crew of the Nautilus, the Misfit pirates and their animal companions. Mowgli uses his knife and boomerang, he threw two overboard. San and Ashitaka are fighting with 4 assassins with sword, and were winning. Pearl, Amethyst and Peridot are using their weapons, Pearl is dueling with a spear and sword in her hands, Amethyst a whip and Peridot a pistole.
Pirate Captain and Number 2 were using swords and pistoles fighting and dodging being shot as were the American adventures. The rest were dodging and shooting the assassins. Back in Pasifica's room the hook handed assassin's pain was going down, he notice on the floor the hexagon object: "The key!" Steven using his shield, but accidentally bumps into the assassin and pushes him onto a couch that's on fire. Steven sees the man screaming, and he picks up the key, and runs out the room and bumps into Mr. Northwest. The young Gypsy boy apologizes to millionaire man: "Sorry mr. Northwest." Preston didn't acknowledge the apology but notice the key and says: "Well no harm done. And I'll take this back." He takes the key out of Steven's hand and runs away, Steven protest: "Hey!"
Back with the M10 Ashitaka is firing his bow and arrows against the assassin who are using modern weaponry. Mowgli, San and Connie are still using close courter weapon against these mysterious men.
Some of the workers freed the animals and pushes them into river. Marco protects them by using his karate fighting techniques, some tried to fight him, but he was faster than them, he even tosses a few overboard. The crew and misfit pirates are using fire arms, and swords even Nemo, Nadia, Jean, Marie didn't fight they just stay covered.
Preston rejoins his bodyguards and Egyptologist, who are hidden behind a barricade of the poker tables. The three Americans are cheering and using their pistoles against the robbed assassins, while Preston and Dr. Chamberlain hid behind them.
Pirate Captain and Number 2 reach Preston and his employees, they turn to see the three Americans adventurers/bodyguards shooting and yelling. Number 2 says dryly: "Typical." Pirate Captain adds in agreement: "Americans." Then the hook hand man comes out of the hallway still on fire. Henderson turns and repeating shoots the burning assassin, till he fall into the water. Pirate Captain says in a joyous tone: "Nice shooting there. And did I panic? I say not." Then the hallway fire burst growing out of control forcing them to jump into the Neil River.
At the side of the ship the crew of the Nauilus, Tyrone, Pasifica, the M9, the rest of the misfit crew, the Crystal Gems and their animal companions meet. Pirate-who-loves-kittens Pasifica: "Uh, miss. Can you swim?" Pasifica answers yelling: "Yes, if the occasion calls for it!" Dipper lifts her carry her like she was wedding says: "Trust us, it calls for it!" He jumps into the Neil Pasifica. The rest do, except Mowgli, and the animal companions and Bismuth.
Mowgli asks the three big cats: "Are you going to jump?" Bageerha replies in the form of a question: "Mowgli you do realize we're cats right? We don't swim in water." Yakul asks regarding the fire: "Would you rather be burned alive?" They turn seeing the flames and the camels and mules jumping on their side. Lion says what could happen: "Hey best case we can float." But they didn't know but King jumps on one of the mules. King says: "I don't know about you two, but I rather swim!" Camel one: "Come on! We can carry you!" Lion says in realizing this: "Ho hell they got my vote!" So Lion jumps on one of the mules, and Poll on Yakul's antlers and Bageerah jumps on another camel. Soon all the animals jump in and began swimming, except the cats who are holding on with their claws deep even though they hurt, they're not touching organs.
But before Bismuth could jump a assassin jumps her, the robbed killer punches Bismuth 5 times before trying to choke her against a pole. Bismuth breaks the hold, head-butts him, then throws him into the pole.
The assassin tries to punch her, but misses, Bismuth multiply punches the robbed assassin in the ribs before spinning him around and kicking him into the fire, then she jumps into the water.
On the shoreline the workers for Preston Northwest is on the right side of the Neil River. The workers are trying to pull the horses out of the river, but it's proven to be difficult, Henderson trying to pull two horse out by the rails, says to someone: "Come on Doggies give em a smack!" He pulls them out of the rive, Daniels reaching the shoreline speaks his mind about what just happened: "This is a messed up country!" Burns has his hat in one hand and turns it upside down pouring out water that was in it.
On the left shoreline, the Crew reaches gets out of the water, Lion, King, Bageerha still holding onto the camels till they reached the shore, but their claws was stuck till they forcibly retract their claws, in the end they shake off the water. Ashitaka says to everyone: "Is everyone alright?" Pasifica angrily asks: "Are you joking?! We were attacked by men in black robs, one threaten to kill me with a hook, and my dad was willing to trade my life for an old map! And I lost all my cloths!"
On the right side of the Nile River Preston arrogantly boast: "Hey Pines boy! Hey! Looks to me I got all the horses!" Dipper's comeback: "Hey Mr. Northwest! I rescued your daughter and it looks to me you're on the wrong side of the river!" At first he didn't believe him until he notice all the workers, and horses, yet not one for him, so in frustration he mutter to himself and kicks the water.
So that's it for this chapter. I'll see you next time. If you have any ideas related to the Mummy staring Branded Frasier please feel free to add it in the review or P.M.
