Chapter 24: Our breath stinks!
Imhotep stopped chasing Jon as he got a good idea in his head.
"Kill them!" He ordered the guards who were just standing there, using ancient Egyptian. Now you must understand, these where the same guards that had given Imhotep "The Big Ouchy" in the first place. Yet right now they were mindless guards, obeying anyone who told them to do anything. Not much had changed over the years with these guy's except there appearance which was mummy-like. They were still stupid guards because they simply obeyed anyone who spoke. If Imhotep had told them to kill themselves they would have done it. If he told them to jump off a bridge they would do it. See, they were stupid and mindless walking corpses. Sort of like when they were alive except the fact that they were not corpses then. : )
They marched over to Evelyn and Rick.
"Looks like you got some more chopping to do." Evelyn speculated.
"Can't we just settle this over a beer!" Rick said holding up a beer that had magically transported from the Magic Graveyard Hamanatra bar.
"Good idea, Rick! Beer settles everything!" Jon called from the sidelines. Jon looked longingly at the beer and longed for it because he had dropped his secret stash.
The mummy guard looked at each other in curiosity thinking Rick's suggestion wasn't really so bad.
"Kill them!" Imhotep repeated and they acted in order to obey him because they were mindless guards who obeyed anything anyone said to them.
Just then Anck had woken up again and grabbed Evelyn.
"I'm tired of waiting to be risen from the dead, Imhotep! I'll have to kill the sacrifice myself!" Anck yelled dragging Evelyn by the hair.
"Men can't do anything right!" She complained to Evelyn getting ready to stab her.
"Tell me about it." Evelyn said getting free from Anck's hair grab. "I only ask for a simple rescue and this is what I get." Evelyn said casting her hand in the direction of Rick who was now getting ready to face the guards.
"I guess it's up to me to kill you!" Anck said swiping her dagger towards Evelyn but missing.
"And I guess it's up to me to stop Imhotep." Evelyn said ducking away from another dagger blow.
"Yi haw!" Anck yelled chasing Evelyn around pillars and such. Evelyn screamed and ran away with the mummy girl, Anck chasing after her.
"Hurry up Jon!" Evelyn yelled.
"I seem to remember a certain person saying, Patience is a virtue!"
"Not when someone is trying to kill you!" Evelyn screamed annoyed at Jon for going so slow. (Jon must have forgot he was supposed to be reading the inscription and started over. AGAIN!)
Rick was left alone to fight the guard mummies by himself. He screamed at them trying to scare them off.
"Ahhhh!" He yelled.
All the mummies looked at him and each other in curiosity of this human who would yell at them.
Finally after a moment of speculation one guard said, "You should really take a breath mint." One guard said. "Because your breath stinks!"
"But sir, we got stinkier breath than that!" Another guard pointed out.
"We do?" Another said. And they started blowing in their hands and then sniffing them trying to catch a smell of their breath.
"I guess, we're supposed to. We haven't brushed our teeth for a very long time."
"But now, we don't even have teeth!"
"Does that mean we don't have to brush our teeth?"
"He has teeth!" A guard said pointing at Rick, who was very much confused by now.
"He also has bad breath!" Another pointed out.
"Our breath stinks!" Another mummy pointed put again. (Who knew parents named their kid's Another!)
"Smell this, human!" A mummy said and they all opened their mouth's really wide and even detached their jaws from where ever they're supposed to be connected.
They all blew their breath at him and Rick almost fainted at the 3000 year old stinky breath.
He waved his hand in front of his nose. "You're right!" Rick admitted. "Your breath does stink."
"Yeah. Our breath stinks." Another mummy said again.
"Maybe we could star in one of those breath mint commercials . . ."
"Or perhaps we should see a doctor about our stinky breath!"
"But our Doctor's dead. Besides I don't have insurance. It expired 2000 years ago!"
"All we have to do is take a breath mint!"
"But they don't sell them here!"
"Your right! I guess we are supposed to have stinky breath."
"Perhaps being dead a while makes your breath stink!"
"You think so? I told them when they bury me, to put extra breath mints in the coffin. I guess they forgot."
"We could all use a breath mint you know."
"What were we supposed to be doing again?" One mummy finally said after this went on for a while. Like I said, mindless and stupid mummies.
"Kill them!" Imhotep yelled again. Imhotep bonked his head against the wall in frustration. Could these guards not do anything right! They couldn't even stop him from rising from the dead! He looked over at Jon who was still reading the inscription really slow.
" . . . K . . .L . . . M . . . N . . .O . . ."
Then he looked over in admiration at Anck who was trying to kill Evelyn. "That's my girl!" He thought and for some odd reason got a kick out of watching her mummy wrappings slowly fall to the ground . . .

You know I couldn't finish the story yet! You don't want me to rush through it do you? Tell me what you think about these two chapters. I hope I lived up to my other 22 chapters. It took me a while to write these though. Hope you enjoyed. : ) I just love bringing Anck into the picture now!
