Thanks for all of the nice reviews! You guys are great. I just got back from a well-deserved vacation. Time to write some more! ^^ And no, I didn't get the base idea from The Mummy. (Great movie; The Mummy Returns was good, too.) That is strange though. Once you guys said that, it kind of clicked. My fic and the movies are kind of alike. -_-
Inukice: Sadly, the language Vegeta spoke isn't real Egyptian. I made it up because I only WISH I knew Egyptian! *giggles*
"Keep up, servant woman! You are too slow!", Vegeta yelled out. He turned around and crossed his arms over his chest. He glared in disgust at "the woman" and her two companions. All in all, he was very scary looking. What, with the whole mummy gig and all. It had been a hard task to dress him where he didn't seem suspiscious. He was short for a Pharaoh. But, that did make it easier to dress him. Now, he was wearing blue jeans, a long-sleeved, plain white shirt with a high collar, and a large hat.
"I'm trying!", she screamed back. Yamucha and Hannah ran to catch up to Bulma as she, herself, ran to catch up to that jerk, Vegeta.
"I'm hot in these clothes! I command you to find me something else!", he ordered.
Bulma groaned and stopped in front of him. "No."
Vegeta growled and raised his hands. The air around suddenly picked up pace. Within a few seconds, Bulma was holding onto Yamucha for dear life. He was also in danger of being blown away.
"Remember, I can kill you whenever I please.", the ancient Pharaoh stated dangerously. The air quickly resumed to normal and he turned around, prepared to start on his hunt for the dragonballs again. Instead, he stopped short and shrieked in terror. He zoomed up into the sky.
"GET IT AWAY!", he yelled while pointing towards the sand. Bulma stared at him confused, then looked to where he was pointing.
She sweatdropped.
"Uh? A.. cat.. in the middle of the desert?", she asked herself dumbfounded. For one thing, the cat wouldn't have made it out to the middle of the desert in the hot sun. Two, it didn't have any water or food!
Yamucha scratched his head, equally confused. Hannah kneeled down.
"Maybe it's a sign!", she said excitedly. She began petting the perfectly black cat. It purred it's happy response.
"A sign for what?", Bulma asked as she, too, began petting the cat. Hannah shrugged.
"Lord Vegeta, it's just a cat! It won't hurt you!", Hannah called out to Vegeta who was still floating in the air.
"Hannah! Don't call him 'Lord' Vegeta!", Bulma reprimanded.
The Pharaoh stayed mid-air. "Cats are the guardians of the underworld! He's come to take me back! I'll kill that little.."
"NO! I mean, sire, please don't. I'll keep it in my backpack where you won't even know it's there.", the 8 year old Bulma-look-a-like begged. She puckered out her lower lip and let out a fake sob.
Vegeta wasn't buying it. But, he decided to let the little feline live.. for now. He slowly descended to the desert sand and began walking ahead again.
"Vegeta," Bulma started, "We're going to need to stop in the nearest city to resupply."
Vegeta didn't bother to correct her on her missing his 'Lord' title. He just grunted in response and kept on walking.
*****Cairo*****
Vegeta looked around him in awe. He had never seen such technology! He slowly backed up, taking in all of the scenery. He backed into something hard and jumped up in surprise. He cautiously walked towards it.
"What is this contraption?", he asked to no one in particular while poking at the metal 'thing'.
Bulma supressed a giggle. "That would be a car. It's a mode of transportation."
"Car?", he asked in complete confusion. Bulma couldn't help it this time. He looked completely clueless and it was funny. She laughed outright.
"WHAT ARE YOU LAUGHING ABOUT, FOOL?!", he screamed in her face. She gasped and fell back. He glared at the attention he'd gotten from bypassers.
"Meow!"
"Umm.. sorry to interrupt, but I think Velvet is hungry.", Hannah informed meekly. She carefully placed her backpack on the ground and got the cat out of it.
The Pharaoh "hmph'd" and walked ahead into a restaurant. He raised his right hand and shot small blasts at the employees. They fell over dead.
"Oh. My. Gosh.", Bulma stuttered.
"Hey, man.", Yamucha began harshly, "We don't do things like that around here."
Vegeta raised an eyebrow. "They were only servants."
Bulma shivered involuntarily and slowly followed him inside the restaurant. Vegeta's hat fell off as he was walking. Bulma screeched and hurried to put it back on his head.
"Yuck! Keep that on!", she stuck her tongue out and spat to the side of her. A mummy wasn't all that handsome.
"How are we supposed to eat when you killed all of the workers?", Bulma asked Vegeta sarcastically.
"Cook, woman.", he replied. She snarled and stood from her seat she had just sat down in.
*****Elsewhere...*****
"Sir, I believe we've found the Pharaoh Vegeta's tomb.", a frightened voice reported into a walkie-talkie.
"Very well. I shall spare your life since you managed not to mess things up THIS time.", a raspy, deep voice replied back into his own walkie-talkie.
"Th-thank you, sir.", came a very relieved response before the communication was cut.
A short, skinny man walked up holding about ten scrolls. He stumbled around trying to catch a falling scroll. He walked up to a tall figure with dark hair and equally dark eyes, finished off with a french mustache.
"Mr. Bakh, I just-", he began before he was rudely cut off.
"Worm, quiet. We've found Pharaoh Vegeta's tomb at last.", Mr. Bakh informed him.
Worm's face brightened. "Finally, sir! After all these years."
Mr. Bakh grinned. "Yes."
**********
"I'm done!", Bulma shouted from the kitchen of the restaurant. She skipped out holding four plates full of.. food?
"Servant woman, what is this goop you serve to a Pharaoh?", Vegeta questioned while poking at his 'food' disdainfully.
Hannah hesitantly took a bite of her own. Her eyes widened and she strained to swallow. "It's.. wonderful, Bul-chan.", she forced out as she turned away and attempted to clear her throat of the horrible taste.
"Thank you!", Bulma smiled proudly.
"I'm not really hungry.", Yamucha said as politely as possible and pushed his plate away. Bulma frowned, but continued eating her own, not noticing the foul taste.
Vegeta took a bite of his 'food.' He spit it back out. "This is below my standards!", he bellowed.
"Then don't eat it!", Bulma screamed back.
"So, Lord Vegeta," Hannah turned to him in an attempt to stop the impending fight, "Why do you need us to gather the Dragonballs for you?"
He glared at Bulma, then answered, "I cannot touch them until I am regenerated into my mortal body because they are magical."
"Dumb reason.", Bulma muttered under her breath. Luckily for her, Vegeta didn't hear.
Hannah nodded and they continued eating, sort of, in silence.
Once finished, Bulma cleared the table and placed the dirty plates in the sink. Maybe one of the employees who didn't work that day would find them the next day.
The four walked outside and cringed from the bright sunlight. Hannah carefully placed Velvet, her trusty cat, back in it's bag. Vegeta began walking ahead as usual.
Bulma turned to Yamucha. She whispered, "Once we find an opportunity, we'll get rid of him. See this book?" She lifted her jacket to the side just enough to reveal a black book. Yamucha nodded, not fully comprehending.
"There are spells in here. Spells from ancient Egypt. They call it the Book of the Dead. All we have to do is find one to return mummies to the dead. I found it in Vegeta's tomb.", she told him.
"What if it isn't that easy?", Yamucha whispered back. He pointed to Hannah who was chattering happily beside Vegeta who wasn't responding at all. "I think Hannah is getting attached to our mummy friend."
"She'll be okay.", Bulma patted him on the shoulder and ran after the two.
NEXT CHAPTER OF EGYPTIAN CURSES AND FATE: They find the first Dragonball. Mr. Bakh makes a discovery.
Now that I'm aware that my fic is like The Mummy, I'll probably be taking a few things from the movie; hence the Book of the Dead. Hope you guys don't mind. If you do, tell me in your review and I won't anymore! Much love 3
