I have added a Yugioh twist and changed some of the original story. If you do not want to know the changes I've made (written below in italics) until you read them in the actual story, skip down to where it says SPOILER END.
Okay, so the "Scorpion King" in my story is known as the Millennium King. The deal he made with Anubis involved him putting the Millennium Eye in place of his own instead of eating a scorpion. The bracelette of Anubis is instead the Millennium necklace. At the end, The Millenium King comes back in Zorc's form rather than a giant half human half scorpion creature. Yami has a tattoe of the Eye of Horus and Shadi explains to him that he is the reincarnation of Prince Atem, Akhenamkhanen's son. Meanwhile, Tea keeps having visions of being Teana, the guardian of the Millennium Necklace, and later discovers that she is the reincarnation of Teana who was also Atem's wife.
SPOILER END
Anyway, I hope you enjoy! Again, I tried to follow the movie (the unchanged parts) line for line but some things may be changed, added, or omitted.
Thebes, 3067 B.C.
Five thousand years ago, a fierce warrior known as Odion, the Millennium King led a great army on a campaign to conquer the known world.
He fought battle after battle, ruthlessly tearing down foe after foe, never once removing the legendary Millennium Necklace he kept securely fastened to his throat.
After a vicious campaign which lasted seven long years, The Millennium King and his army were defeated and driven deep into the sacred desert of Ahm Shere. One by one, they slowly perished under the scorching sun…until only the great warrior himself was left alive. Near death, Odion made a pact with the dark god Anubis…that if Anubis would spare his life and let him conquer his enemies, he would give him his soul.
In answer to this proposition, a golden Millennium Eye rose from the sand…and the Millennium King was obliged to put it in place of one of his own. With this gruesome act done, a life-giving oasis sprung up from the desert around him…and his life was saved
Anubis gave the Millennium King command of his army, and like an evil flood, they washed away all that lay before them. When his task was done, Anubis forced the Millennium King to serve him for all time…leaving behind only the Millennium Necklace…in the world of the living. His army was returned to the sands from whence they came, where they wait, silently, to be awakened once again.
Egypt, 1933
It was dark in the tomb…..sand….broken stones…the faint squeaking of rats…these were the only things that Yami Mutou, red-eyed spiky-haired advenuter, heard and saw as he pulled out his pistol and pushed away a wall of cobwebs. Still…something wasn't quite right. Holding a torch out in front of him, the soldier crept forward, keeping his back against the wall, growing closer and closer to the corner until…he leaped out gun at the ready…but the tunnel was clear.
Yami slowly holstered his gun and turned around…to meet a pair of large amethyst eyes. He yelled and leaped backwards, causing the owner of the eyes to yelp and fall over. It was a little boy around seven or eight years old with the aforementioned purple eyes and hair exactly like the soldier's (A.N: I thought that maybe the color of Yugi's eyes could be explained as a mix of Yami and Tea's, red and purple).
Yami panted and muttered, "Yugi…?"
The child laughed. "What were you thinking, that a mummy had come back to life?"
"I'll tell you the story someday…" the adventurer helped his son to his feet. The boy looked so much like him and had his slight sense of recklessness…yet he had his mother's kind heart, intellect, and adventurous spirit.
Yami put his hands on his hips. "What are you doing down here? I told you to wait for us in the temple."
"But, Dad, I saw—"
"No buts," the father interrupted. "It's dangerous down here, Yugi."
Yugi looked as if he were about to burst with excitement, saying, "But I saw your tattoo!"
"…You saw what?"
"On a wall by the entrance," the boy explained, unclasping an Egyptian bracelet from his father's wrist. "There's a symbol just like it…" the accessory fell away to reveal the Eye of Horus within a pyramid outline on the man's arm.
The soldier cocked a questioning eyebrow. "Really…?"
"Yeah!"
"Okay, well….I'll be up to take a look at it in a minute. In the meantime, I want you to wait for us up there."
Yugi tried to protest as Yami turned him around and gave him a gentle push in the opposite direction, saying, "NO. Pick up your stuff, and I'll see you in the temple. Go."
Yugi picked up the pyramid-shaped puzzle (A.N: just a toy, not the Millennium Puzzle) and started back the way he'd come.
"And…" he started. "And what shall I do…?"
"I don't know, surprise me," Yami smirked. "Build a better mouse trap." He added to himself, "While your mother goes and desecrates another tomb."
Meanwhile, Tea was in another chamber, dusting an ancient Egyptian carving with an archeologist's brush. She looked down as a coral snake slithered up to her. Any other person would have yelled and leaped away…Tea however, glared at the thing and muttered, "GO AWAY," before kicking it.
The serpent went flying through the air, nearly hitting Yami who had just entered the room.
"Those things are poisonous, you know!" his face went pale.
The woman teasingly replied, "Only if they bite you." She remembered his earlier meeting with Yugi. "What was that all about?"
Picking up the box of tools, the soldier shrugged. "Oh, nothing…Yugi wanted to show me something….I swear, the kid gets more and more like you every day."
Tea smirked and approached him brushing aside her chocolate hair which was now almost down to her waist. "You mean more attractive, sweet, and devilishly charming?"
"No, I mean he's driving me crazy," Yami grinned and pressed his lips against those of his wife.
"Now, where were we?" he asked.
Not wanting to damage the wall, Tea held up two tools that looked as if they belonged to a doll. "Hammer and chisel."
Yami took the objects, then stared at the blue-eyed beauty with a look that screamed, "You have GOT to be kidding me."
Tea sighed and replied, "Fine…we'll do it your way…" she handed him a crow bar.
"Thank you."
The woman cringed as her husband drove the metal pole into the beautiful wall, easily knocking it over. They entered a room filled with many caskets and mummies with scorpions, tarantulas, and a few skulls littering the floor.
Stepping over the creepy crawlies, Tea explained, "Ever since I had that dream, this place is all I can think about."
Yami smirked and stomped right on top of the creatures. "Ever since you had that dream, I haven't had a decent night of sleep."
"I…I feel like I've been here before…"
"Tea, NOBODY'S been here before. Not for at least three thousand years."
As if she were not in control of her own body, the brunette's arm shot out and grabbed a cobweb cloaked lever on the wall, pulling it and causing a hidden doorway to open. She looked at Yami and murmured, "Then how do I seem to know exactly where I'm going…?"
Back in the temple, Yugi eyed the rats gathered at a hole in the wall, then glanced proudly at his newest mouse trap. He very delicately placed a piece of cheese in it…and froze when unfamiliar voices began to echo throughout the chamber.
Catching sight of the shadows of men on the wall, Yugi grabbed his bag and climbed up into the safety of his fort, large eyes peeking curiously over the edge of the platform.
The three men, Duke, Noah, and Alister, stepped into the chamber, holding guns and torches.
"Knock, knock," Noah grinned. "Anybody home?" he gestured to his cohorts and ordered, "You two check out that stuff, see if it's there. I'll go sort out the Mutous."
Yugi gasped.
Yami made his way slowly down the corridor, checking every dark corner for traps. Seeing none, he stepped into the chamber at the end of the tunnel and began pulling at the strange door he found inside. Tea stepped in behind him….and gasped as another vision took over her mind.
She was in a beautifully decorated Egyptian chamber, standing before the same door…yet it was made of shining gold. It slowly opened, revealing two men guarding a chest in a small room. A woman stepped out and closed the door, pulling out the sun-shaped door knob. She turned it to the right, then back to the left…then the vision disintegrated
Tea blinked and began spastically moving her torch back and forth as if she could make the scene reappear. Glimpsing his wife's strange antics, Yami teased,
"You know, if you move that fast enough, you can almost write your name."
"I…I just had a vision…" she breathed. "It was—It was like my dream…only real. It was like I actually lived here in ancient times…"
"Well," Yami grunted, pushing at the door, "if you really were here, could you show me how to open this thing?"
The woman stepped forward and gave him the torch. She grasped the queerly shaped handle, turning it twice to the right, then once to the left before pushing it in. The door opened just as it had three thousand years ago.
"Okay…" the soldier's eyes widened. "Now you're starting to scare me."
"Now I'm starting to scare myself."
Digging through the various trinkets and pottery shards, Alister grumbled,
"Look at the state of this stuff…those Egyptians never had a clue, it's all junk! Look at that…cheap pottery…ancient rubbish!"
High on the platform, Yugi pulled back the strap of his slingshot, aimed, and fired.
The red-headed man yowled while the black-haired one pulled out his pistol.
"Duke!" Alister whined. "Something hit me in the head!"
"Shut up, Alister!" Duke snapped. "This place is cursed. We do not want to wake the gods…"
Tea carefully brushed the cobwebs off a large gold plate, revealing an Egyptian eye design.
"That's the emblem of the Millennium King!" she gasped. "He's supposed to be pure myth. No trace of him has ever been found before….no artifacts, no archival evidence…"
"Maybe they didn't want anybody to find him…" Yami murmured thoughtfully.
The brunette ran her delicate fingers along a trunk in the room. "Let's open this."
"Tea…" her husband sighed. "I don't have a real good feeling about this…
"It's only a chest. No harm ever came from opening a chest."
The soldier rolled his eyes. "Yeah, right, and no harm ever came from reading a book. Remember how that went?"
Tea laughed and replied, "We can't stop now."
"Just remember I was the voice of reason here."
"For once."
Yugi took aim, and fired another stone from his slingshot. This one hit its target…right in the rear end.
"AAAARG!" Alister howled in agony. "GOD, THAT HURT!"
Yugi lay on his back, placing his hand over his mouth to stifle his laughs.
Duke, on the other hand….was becoming suspicious.
Noah peered around the corner of a wall, watching as Tea struggled to open the chest with a crowbar.
Her husband noticed a small object on a chain near the trunk and smirked when he realized what it was.
"Hun," Yami grinned, holding out the key. "Why don't we do it your way?"
Tea grimaced and took the key, placing it in the keyhole. She turned it once…and the chest popped open. Slowly, the woman raised the lid…and glimpsed a beautiful golden necklace with the shape of an Egyptian eye in its center.
"The Millennium Necklace…" She breathed.
Yugi fired off another missile…only to have it caught by one of the men. He gasped in horror as the two stared at him with expressions of, "Gotcha."
"I'll take care of this," Duke grinned.
Noah cocked his gun and was just about to shoot the two Mutous….when the entire chamber shook violently.
"Oh my God!" Tea yelped, placing the necklace back in the chest.
"It's a bit late for that!" Yami cried.
The brunette handed it to him. "Put it in your rucksack."
"I got a better idea. Let's leave it here!"
"I think it's a bit late for that!"
"What's it say?"
Tea read the hieroglyphics. "'He who disturbs this necklace shall drink from the Nile'. Huh…that doesn't sound too bad…"
Suddenly, the entire back wall was torn down by a torrent of rushing water. Placing the chest in his bag, Yami grabbed Tea's hand and they both took off.
Yugi scrambled around the platform as Duke climbed up, a deadly-looking knife between his teeth.
"Duke's gonna make a nice fillet out of you, kid," Alister grinned.
"Alister! Duke!" Noah came running into the temple. "We gotta get out of here!"
Duke slid down the ladder and kicked the stone supporting the entire fort before joining his comrades.
Yami and Tea ran as fast as they could….only to find their way blocked by a wall. They turned back to look at the ever approaching flood and hugged each other just as it hit.
Yugi yelped as the wooden structure swayed back and forth, threatening to drop him to the ground. Finally, the entire thing fell into a pillar, which the boy also landed on. He screamed as the pillar slammed into the next and the next after that, creating a domino effect.
When all the pillars had toppled over, the child looked around with hair even more unruly than usual and muttered, "Whoa…"
Meanwhile, his parents gagged and coughed, clinging to metal grating above them to keep their head out of the water.
"This is bad, Tea!" Yami choked.
She gulped water. "Ugh…We've had bad before!"
"This is worse!"
One of the pillars began to slowly slide over, threatening to crash into the wall in front of it. Panicked, Yugi ran over and pushed against it, hoping that the little strength he had would keep the object in place. Obviously, it did not, and the boy was forced to leap out of the way or be crushed as the pillar fell. It destroyed the wall, unleashing a flood of water…and Yugi's half-drowned parents.
Yugi stared at his coughing, sputtering mom and dad, then gazed at the desecrated temple around them before announcing, "Mom, Dad, I can explain EVERYTHING."
Unfortunately, in another part of the desert, a sinister group had discovered Hamunaptra, and had enlisted many unwilling workers to uncover its secrets.
Holding a black book in his hands, a muscled blonde man known as Rafael murmured, "The Book of the Dead…gives life."
"And the book of the living…" completed an Egyptian woman named Ishizu. "….takes life away." She set the golden Book of Amun-Ra down.
"I thought that was MY job," teased the muscle-bound man.
Ishizu, who looked remarkably like the ancient Isis, smiled and announced, "We're getting close."
Watching over the diggers, a silver-haired curator, Maximillion Pegasus, jumped in alarm when a car horn sounded. He turned to see the three treasure hunters he'd hired leaping out of the vehicle and walking towards him.
"Did you find it?"
Before they could answer, the entire site shook and everyone's attention turned to the spot the diggers had just uncovered. A collective gasp sounded when the sand rose up into a mound….which was quickly replaced by screams when it exploded with scarabs.
Ishizu laughed cruelly, complete unfeeling to the agonized screams of men being eaten alive. "We're getting VERY close…"
It wasn't long before the joyous cry rang throughout the dig site.
"We found him! We found him!"
Pegasus excitedly pushed through the throngs of people…and gasped as the oddly-shaped mass was lowered to the ground.
"Bakura…it's him! It's Bakura!"
Ishizu ran her hand gently over their prize as Rafael lifted a large urn, saying, "Now we must raise those who serve him."
Before they could do so, in irritated voice exclaimed, "Get out of my way…get out—outta my way or I'm gonna shoot you in the face!"
Noah emerged from the crowd, followed by his cohorts.
Pegasus held out his hand. "Give it to me."
Shrugging, Noah replied, "The opportunity passed us by."
The curator's jaw tensed in frustration. "We need that necklace! And we need it before it opens!"
Rafael pulled out his blade and the three other men responded by pointing their guns.
Enough!" Ishizu hissed and the men obediently put away their weapons. "My dear Pegasus, I told you I should have handled it."
The silver-haired man shook his head. "I did not want your past history to cloud the issue.
Noah cut in, "Don't you worry. We know where it is. We'll take care of it."
"No. I have a different chore for you now."
"Where is the necklace?" Ishizu asked impatiently.
"It's on its way to London."
Pegasus nodded. "Then London is where we must go."
Hidden among the other cloaked men, Shadi, leader of the Magi, gasped…for he knew that the Mutou family was in danger…again.
Hope you enjoyed chapter one! Please review. Just in case anyone is wondering, I will not be doing Tomb of the Dragon Emperor because I do not have it and (no offense to anyone who really loves it) the first two movies are my favorite.
I do not own Yugioh or The Mummy Returns
