Chapter Thirteen: Return to Hamunaptra
Kendo's Sightseeing Tours and Gun Shop
The next morning (after seeing that Barry was all right) Chris, Carlos, and Leon--in Leon's wrecked car drives
up to the sightseeing tours and gun shop where Kendo worked at.
They didn't find Kendo at the airfield, so they decided to check the gun shop. Upon entering the shop, Kendo
lunged at them with a shotgun. "Freeze!"
All three men raised their hands. "DON'T SHOOT! WE'RE HUMANS!"
Kendo realzed who they were. He lowered his shotgun. "Oops. Sorry."
Chris took a step forward. "Kendo, we need to talk."
***
After Chris tells him about everything that had happened...
"So what does this problem has to do with me?" Kendo asked.
"Not a damn thing," Chris replied.
That caught Kendo's attention. "Is it dangerous?"
"You won't live through it."
Now Kendo is interested. "Do you really think so?"
"Everyone else we ran into--with the exception of Barry--has died," Leon replied. "Why not you?"
Kendo thought about it for moment. "Okay. What's the challenge?"
"Save the damsel in distress, kill the bad guy and anything else, and save the world," Chris replied.
A slow grin spreads across Kendo's face, then he gives them a snappy salute. "Robert Kendo at your service!"
***
A military helicopter (like the ones you see in the Code Veronica intro) races into the Sahara Desert. Robert
Kendo is behind the stick--and slightly intoxicated. Leon and Carlos are sitting in the cargo area, scared out
of their minds at Kendo's flying, and making Leon sick. Chris was strapped to the opening like he was in
Vietnam. In his hands, he was holding a heavy Lewis machine gun.
Kendo pointed to a large tornado of sand. "Hey, Chris!" he shouted. "Look at that! I've never seen one that
big!"
"Never?" Chris shouted back.
***
Way off across the desert, a large tornado of sand races over the dunes. The whirlwind comes to a stop and
starts to dissipate. Jill and Vinny are suddenly ejected out of it, they land in a dune, Vinny on top of Jill.
"Get off me!" Jill shouted, hitting Vinny on the head.
The whirlwnd condenses and forms Imhotep/Alexander. He looks up into the sky, and sees the helicopter nearby.
Jill saw it too, and knew that it could be only one person coming for her. "Chris," she whispered.
Imhotep/Alexander knew by the look in Jill's eyes that it could be the same guy. He raises his hands, lets out
one of his infamous shrieks, and creates a massive wall of sand, which headed straight for the chopper.
***
Back in the helicopter, Chris sees something behind him. He spat out his cigarette at the sight behind him. It
was a massive wall of sand...and it was headed straight for them.
"Kendo!" he shouted. "Get this thing moving!"
Kendo looks over the side and sees what's coming. He laughs, throws the throttle, and puts the helicopter into
overdrive. Chris looks behind them. The sand wall was getting closer. Then he sees a giant face forming in the
sand.
***
Back on the ground, Imhotep/Alexander opens his eyes and smiles at his prey.
***
In the air, the image of Imhotep/Alexander grins at Chris, who cocked the Lewis gun and opened fire on the wall
of sand, ad-libbing all the way.
"DIE, SCUMBAG! BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA! WAAHH HA HA HA HA HA HA! WHO'S YOUR DADDY NOW, BITCH?! AH HA HA HA HA
HAAAH! YOU WANNA PIECE OF ME?! BRING IT ON! WAHHH, HA HA HA HA HA HA! AHHH, HA HA HA HA HA HAAAH!" (Note. Sorry.
Surviving 2 Umbrella outbreaks and what's going on in this story can do some things to a person. :))
Carlos and Leon facefaulted.
Imhotep/Alexander's face begins to laugh, then his jaw unhinges, his mouth opens wide, and he engulfs the
chopper. Chris, Carlos and Leon were screaming at the top of their lungs, while Kendo blindly fights for
control, elated at this situation. "Hang on, guys!"
***
Back on he ground, Jill yelled at Imhotep/Alexander. "Stop it! You'll kill them!"
"I think that's the general idea," Vinny mused.
Seeing that she had to do something, Jill ran over to Imhotep/Alexander, grabbbed him, and kissed him hard
on the lips. Imhotep/Alexander's concentration on his wall of sand was broken, and it dissipated. But the
damage was already done. Smoke billowing out its rotors, the helicopter crashed into a sand dune.
***
Chris was seeing stars. "No, mommy, I don't wanna do my homework," he said. He then shook the cobwebs out of
his head and used his Bowie knife to free himself.
Leon is hanging upside down from his seat. "Excuse me. A little help would be useful IF IT'S NOT TOO MUCH
TROUBLE!!"
Chris cut Leon down. Carlos undid the safety belt of his seat and fell to the ground. He then yanks the Lewis
gun off it's mount. He throws the machine-gun over one shoulder, a cartridge belt over the other and staggers
away. Chris and Leon look into the cockpit. Robert Kendo is dead, his neck broken, and a smile on his face.
"That's a better way to die, rather tham being eaten by zombies," Leon said.
The chopper suddenly starts to move, the sand sinks under their feet, they quickly high-tail-it away. Chris,
Leon and Carlos make it to some rocks and look back. The helicopter, with Robert Kendo inside, slides
away over a dune. Chris gives it a salute. The chopper vanishes over the dune and into the quicksand.
