Here it is! The eighth and final chapter! It's a bit short compared to the others. Thanks so much for all the awesome suggestions for The Mummy Returns. I think that I've mostly figured out how I'm going to incorporate Yami being a pharaoh into the next one…but I'm not going to spoil it.
Tea screamed in horror as Bakura raised the golden dagger above his head…but the stab never came. For the high priest's attention was caught by Joey, who was standing at the top of the staircase, shouting,
"The book of Amun-Ra! I found it, Tea, I found it!"
Bakura drew a breath, lowering his sword. "The Book of Amun-Ra…" he muttered in ancient Egyptian.
Struggling against the shackles, Tea moaned in frustration and snapped, "Shut up and get me out of here, Joseph! Open the book! It's the only way to kill him! You have to open the book and find the inscription!"
Joey "eeped" as Bakura began to slowly approach him.
"W-well…I can't open it! It's locked or something!" he examined it from all angles and announced, "We need the key, Tea!"
"It's inside his robes."
"Oh that's just freakin' peachy," the blonde muttered, taking off as Bakura drew closer.
Suddenly, Yami let out a battle cry and leaped over the mummy priests surrounding Tea.
"Mutou!" the girl exclaimed joyfully as he sliced through one of the shackles binding her arms.
Seeing that his sacrifice was on the verge of escaping, the high priest commanded, "Im Yub Set Na," and even more priests sprung from the earth, assaulting Yami.
The soldier fought bravely and skillfully with the sword, slicing through the marauding creatures. Finally, he rested the blade on his shoulder, cockily arching an eyebrow at Tea and muttering, "Mummies…"
Unfortunately, just as Yami was about to break the last of the brunette's binds, he was unceremoniously yanked off his feet and his legs were held down by one mummy while another clung to his shoulders.
"Look out! There's one down—" Tea gasped. "Mutou!"
Yami looked to see a creature stalking towards him, carrying an extremely heavy tombstone and intent on crushing him beneath it. The spiky-haired man strained to reach for his sword…but his arm simply would not make it.
Frantically, the soldier glanced around and spotted a severed corpse hand crawling toward the blade. Right as the tombstone-bearing mummy was about to drop its load on its victim, the hand grabbed the sword's hilt…and Yami seized the hand, swinging it and the blade and slicing his potential killer's legs off. The creature fell to the ground…and was crushed by his own stone.
While this madness ensued at one end of the chamber, Joey was wandering about at the other, desperately scanning the Book of Amun-Ra.
"Here's an inscription," he announced. "'Rasheem—Rasheem oola—Rasheem oola Kashka!"
As Yami helped Tea off the altar, they both froze at the sound of a low growl. Several rows of mummies with shields and curved spears came marching out of their caskets, standing at attention while Bakura gave a smile of amusement.
"Oh yeah…" Yami grumbled, "this just keeps getting better and better."
"Do something, Joey," Tea grimaced.
"ME?"
"You can command them!"
"You've got to be joking!"
"Finish the inscription on the cover, idiot! Then you can control them!"
"Right…"
Joey hid behind a wall to read the hieroglyphics while Yami faced the new armed mummies…and Tea was suddenly attacked by a sword-bearing Isis corpse.
Bakura shouted something to the mummies and they leaped farther than humanely possible towards their target. Yami let out the fiercest battle cry he could muster…only to be met with several roars from the enemy.
He stared at them for a moment, then muttered, "Uh-uh…" before taking off.
Tea ran frantically through the chamber, trying to escape the wrath of Isis and shouting, "HURRY UP JOEY!"
Meanwhile, Yami sliced though a rope, causing a heavy weight to crush one of his pursuers and launching him to a higher level. He ran into a corridor….and ran right back out, pursued by even more mummies.
"I can't figure out this last symbol!" Joey shouted.
"What does it look like?" his sister called back, screaming as the female mummy appeared and grabbed her neck.
"It's, uh, a bird—a stork!"
Tea gagged as Isis clutched at her throat, holding the she-corpse's other hand which was attempting to drive a sword into her.
"A-Ahmenophus!"
Joey looked back at the inscription and grinned thoughtfully, murmuring, "Oh, yes, I see…"
Yami dropped his sword and fell down a set of stairs, crawling backwards as the creatures marched towards him.
"Uh…Hootash im Ahmenophus!" Joey ordered.
The mummies brought their weapons down…and stopped right as the blades touched the soldier's face. He opened a single crimson eye, studying the creatures confusedly as they recoiled and stood back at attention.
"Destroy him!" Bakura snarled, watching Yami run to safety. "I command you to destroy him!" but the creatures…no longer obeyed him.
Joey continued, "Fa-Kooshka Isis!"
At this order, the mummies marched towards the female mummy, who finally released Tea and stared at them in shock. Running away, the brunette heard the terrified shrieks of Isis as the mummy army began to attack her brutally.
"Isis!" Bakura cried and rushed to the blonde man, snarling, "Give me that book!"
Unfortunately, it was too late…and the temporary life given to the woman's corpse was ruthlessly taken away.
The high priest's jaw locked with anger and he strode towards the man who had brought about his lover's second death.
"Now…you die," he growled, holding Joey in the air by his throat.
Yami leaped forward with his blade and sliced off the creature's arm, dropping Joey to the ground. Bakura, unfortunately, only seemed annoyed by this, throwing the soldier with superhuman strength and twisting his severed limb back on.
In his close encounter with the priest, Joey had managed to do ONE useful thing. Triumphantly, he held up the key as Tea ran forward to unlock the golden book.
"Keep him busy!" the girl shouted to Yami, who was currently being thrown through the air.
He hit a wall and landed on the ground, groaning, "No…problem…"
While Yami was being ruthlessly beaten up by Bakura, Joey muttered, "Hurry Tea, hurry!"
"You're not helping!"
Yami gagged, suspended in the air by his neck and staring down into the priest's cold eyes.
"Now…it's your turn…" Bakura stretched his mouth wide open to unleash…who knows what.
"I've got it!" Tea cried. "Kadeesh mal, Kadeesh mal." The priest stared at her in shock. "Pared oos, Pared oos!"
Bakura dropped the soldier and gaped in horror when a ghostly chariot came thundering down the stair case. It passed through his body, taking with it a ghostly image of the priest himself. Shouting angrily as the carriage disappeared, Bakura turned and stalked towards the heroes with murderous intent.
"I thought you said it was gonna kill him," Yami croaked, clutching at his aching throat and retrieving his sword.
Bakura stalked towards them, and, knowing it would do no good, the spiky-haired adventurer drove his blade into the creature's stomach. To his shock, Bakura let out a strangled sound of pain and shock, staring down…and glimpsing blood.
"He's mortal now," Tea exclaimed and Yami ripped the sword out.
Groaning and clutching his wound, the priest staggered back and into the black water. Slowly, Bakura sank down into the depths, reverting back to his mummy form…until he was altogether gone.
"Death…" Tea murmured, "…is only the beginning…"
Weevil grunted with exhaustion under his heavy load of treasure, attempting to maneuver back out of the temple. Sure enough, his greed had gotten the best of him and he had gone back for a ridiculously large amount of gold. Fatigued, the insect man laid the bag on a ledge protruding from the wall…only to discover that it was a lever…a lever that ordered the city to close itself off.
All around the trio, the walls and ceiling began to sink. They took off and as they ran, Joey tripped, dropping the Book of Amun-Ra into the ebony water.
Running back to it, Tea cried, "You've lost the book! Joey, I can't believe—"
"COME ON!" both boys grabbed her and dragged her away.
They ran through the treasure room and Joey halted, gazing around in awe.
"Couldn't we just—"
"NO, JOEY!"
They ran up the stairs and into a tunnel while Weevil, who had been forced to abandon his loot, called out to them, "Mutou!"
"C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, Weevil!" Yami shouted crouching and holding out his hand as the tunnel ceiling grew lower and lower….but it was too late. The tunnel closed, leaving his ex-partner trapped on the other side.
"…Goodbye, Weevil."
In the end, Weevil lived his last few minutes of life, surrounded by treasure, just as he'd wished….but he was also surrounded by hungry scarabs.
The three heroes ran as fast as they could outside the ruins, dodging falling pillars and swaying obelisks as the city immersed itself back into the sand. Fortunately, they made it to their camels several yards outside the necropolis and watched in awe as the legendary City of Hamunaptra…once again lost itself in the desert.
Suddenly, Joey screamed in horror when a hand grabbed his shoulder and looked up to see…Shadi, sitting on a camel.
"OH, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT! I think you just lowered my life expectancy by about fifteen years…"
Shadi smiled. "You've earned the respect and gratitude of me and my people."
"Yeah…it was nothing."
With one last grin, the Magi leader turned and rode off.
"Yeah, anytime," the blonde called. "Stay out of trouble…he's just…leaving us here." He sighed and chuckled bitterly. "Well…I guess we go home empty handed…again…"
"I wouldn't say that…" the spiky-haired adventurer replied, locking eyes with Tea.
"Oh please…" Joey rolled his eyes.
Yami dipped down and captured Tea's soft lips in his hungry ones, kissing her passionately and gently stroking her bare shoulder. When the two finally broke apart, they pressed their foreheads together and grinned, the brunette's sapphire eyes sparkling happily, and the soldier's ruby orbs glittering in return.
Joey walked over and petted his dromedary's head, asking, "What about you, darling, would you like a little kissy-wissy?" he gagged at the creature's putrid breath.
Climbing onto his camel, Yami deposited Tea into his lap, snaking an arm around her waist as she leaned her head against his shoulder. He leaned over and kissed the girl again, smiling as they rode off into the sunset…and completely unaware of the satchel of treasure Weevil had left attached to his camel's saddle.
The End! I hope you liked it and thank you for all the wonderful comments! Please review this chap as well. I will begin working on The Mummy of Yugioh Returns in a few days (I haven't seen The Mummy Returns in ages so I need to watch it again). In the meantime, I'm working on a humor story and brainstorming about the sequel to this story.
