Let's get this story over with already! I'll be sad to see it end though.
Chapter 27: Do not pull this lever. Push it instead.
So Imhotep was dead or asleep, as he would like you to believe. Anck, after having a disastrous dentist cleaning, choked on her own saliva and died for the final time (because she didn't come back alive again-Poor girl!). Rick, Jon, and Evelyn were left to look in wonder not knowing what to do next.
"I wonder where the guards went?" Jon wondered seeing that the mummy guards had mysteriously disappeared.
Rick, Evelyn, and Jon were just standing there for a minute after Imhotep had sunk in the water a second time. Then out of the water, the mummy popped again. They all yelped in surprise a second time jumping away from the animated corpse of a mummy.
"Will you die already!" Rick mumbled.
Imhotep held up his hands sheepishly. "I have one more thing to say."
Jon tapped his foot impatiently.
"First you whine about how you were only in this story to die. Then about how it's all Anck's fault. Then you tell us something about Death being the beginning of something. What else do you need to tell us?" Jon asked slightly agitated.
"I have to tell you this. . ." Imhotep pulled out some sunglasses and placed it over his eyes.
". . . I'll be back!"
Then he again sunk into the dirty water holding his thumbs up this time.
"So there is a sequel!" Evelyn gasped. Then she screamed, "Nooooooooooo!" The word echoed throughout Hamanatra.
"What was that for?" Rick asked.
Evelyn shrugged. "I don't know. It just seemed like the right thing to do at the time."

Meanwhile Beni had been out of this wonderful story for a while so the author decided to bring him back. Beni had been greedily swimming through the pile of gold like a duck named Scrooge. He had covered himself in golden chains while laughing hysterically. He had even traded his jester shoes for some very uncomfortable golden slippers.
Eventually he got the bright idea of taking the gold out of Hamanatra and selling it so that he could be rich. "I'm a genius!" He congratulated himself.
He decided that he would use the gold so that he could live in a golden house with a golden wind up mouse. He would have golden boxes and golden foxes.
"Who needs Imhotep!" Beni announced. He could get along by himself! He decided to leave the mummy and follow his new companion: his gold. The only thing he regretted was not being able to date Anck's sister as Imhotep had promised. "Oh well." He shrugged. He could always use his gold to get a golden girl.
He began gathering as much gold as possible and stuffing it into his black bag. "This is even better than stealing Rick's guns or Jon's nightlight." He thought with glee.
After he had scrunched as many gold items into the bag as he could scrunch, he began to drag it outside of Hamanatra. It took a while for him to drag it out outside, but eventually he did manage it. Then he went back to get a second load.
As he was dragging this second load outside he stopped to rest inside this room. After all, he was just a little guy and was dragging many pounds of gold. He leaned against the wall and saw a lever. Next to the lever he saw a sign which said in Egyptian: "Do not pull this lever."
Immediately suspicious of the lever Beni jumped away from it in fright. Yet he did wonder what would happen if he pulled it.
To pull or not to pull: That was the question. He stared at the lever for a long time debating with himself. He was so curious to know what would happen upon the pulling of the lever. Perhaps it would open a room to more gold?
Just then he saw that some dust and cobwebs were coving up the lower half of the sign. He brushed it away revealing some more words on the sign.
It now said: "Do not pull this lever. Push it instead." He shrugged and pushed it downward.
Just as he pushed the lever downward the whole city of Hamanatra began shaking. Beni looked around wondering what he had done.
A female voice came from a speaker in the corner of the room near the ceiling announcing, "Attention all living inhabitants of Hamanatra. This city is now sinking into the sand. Please exit the city in an orderly fashion quickly and have a nice day. We hope you enjoyed your stay at Hamanatra, City of the Dead."
Beni you can't do everything a sign says to do! If it said to jump off a bridge would you do it?
He looked around fearfully and realized that perhaps his life was in danger. What do you think?
