A.N. Here we go Chapter 3. Thanks to those of you who reviewed last time, I really appreciate it. First to charizardag thank you for the idea of having a spirit appear. You'll see that I took your advice. And I did check out one of your stories, it was really cool.

To sirka wow, very cool. I didn't know that if I have any questions about mythology I'll be sure to ask you.

To 12345 good guess. As matter of fact… well no, you'll just have to wait and see : )

To Hadoshag thanks for the compliment, I hope you keep reading and let me know what you think.

And finally to frequent visitor, I'm sorry if I offended you with my lack of information. I'm really not very knowledgeable on Egypt today and thank you for the facts. It wasn't my intention to state facts, just to write a fiction story.

Again thanks to those of you who reviewed, and here's chapter three.

Ch. 3 The Spirit

When Kim and Ron entered the pyramid, Ron still cowering in fear, they saw the head of Egyptian Security, and a well know scientist, whose name was Professor Gitic. As Kim and Ron approached the area where the objects had been taken from, Kim pulled out her kimunicator. "Wade," she said. "I'm scanning you the crime scene. Can you find anything?"

"Just give me a couple of minutes," he said. The kimunicator clicked off and Kim turned to the two men. "Hello Professor Gitic and Mr. Rye, what's the sitch?"

"Well as you already know, there was a huge robbery last night. While most of the tombs had been discovered and raided at an early time, this one was just discovered a few months ago," said Professor Gitic.

"I remember hearing about it on the news," said Kim. "Didn't it have a lot of ancient magical items or something?

"Ancient Magical Items," squeaked Ron. "K.P. let's get out of here, while we still can!" These last words were almost screamed, but Kim glared at Ron to make him shut up.

Professor Gitic and Mr. Rye were now looking very strangely at Ron, who was being comforted by Rufus. "Anyway," began Mr. Rye hesitantly.

"Go ahead Mr. Rye," Kim reassured.

"As a matter of Egyptian security, this is quite embarrassing. For years we have been telling our people that all of the treasures are safe. And now to have a break in… Well we certainly need these items back as soon as possible."

"Don't worry Mr. Rye. Ron and I have never failed at a mission yet. So, have we made a list of all of the items that were stolen?" Kim asked.

Professor Gitic nodded and passed over a list.

"Wow, gold and rubies obviously, but look at all of this other stuff. A book of curses, and a book on ancient spirit rituals, what does all this stuff do?" she asked.

"Well, the ancient Egyptians believed that when you combined a curse with a spirit ritual, that spirit would come and wreak havoc on whomever you wished them to," explained Professor Gitic.

"But who believes in this stuff anymore?" asked Kim.

"More people then you might suspect," said Mr. Rye. "Just look at your friend over there."

Ron, of course, was still cowering and staring around at the artifacts in great fear.

Suddenly the kimunicator beeped, and Wade came on the screen.

"Kim," he said quickly. "You'll never guess what I found near the entrance." He flashed a picture to come on the screen, and Kim saw green slashes.

"Sheego," Kim and Ron, who had come over when the kimunicator beeped, said together.

"Well thank you for help," Kim said to the Professor and Mr. Rye. "Would it be okay if we looked around a little bit more?"

"Of course," said Mr. Rye. "But the Professor and I have to go to a press conference. Just put up the security tape on your way."

"Will do," said Kim. "And thanks for all of your help."

"Your welcome," said Professor Gitic, and the two men left.

"Now Ron," said Kim. "You can stay here and study this list while I go around and look at some different things, okay."

"No way Kim," said Ron, trying to be brave. "If we get attacked by ancient evil spirits, then we die together."

"Gee thanks," said Kim sarcastically, and they headed around the tomb.

After they completed their tour of the pyramid, and found nothing else to link to a villain other than Dracken, they headed back to the front of the pyramid. As Kim looked over the list, something caught her eye. While she knew that Sheego had entered the tomb, all of this material seemed a lot like ancient magic stuff. This type of villainy seemed a lot more up Monkey Fists' alley not Dracken. Was it possible that they had teemed up again? But that hadn't seemed to work very well the last time they tried it.

About halfway through Kim's complicated thoughts, Ron and Rufus had started trembling again. Kim had thought that it was just that they had just found something on the list that terrified them again, but as she turned around it was clear what they were scared of.

There, hovering above the ground was, you guessed it, an ancient spirit.

"K.P.," Ron was able to whisper. "We're done for." As he said this he began to faint, but Kim slapped him upside the head.

"Ron," she said. "Get a grip."

"Who has disturbed my sleep?" the spirit roared.

Kim and Ron were silent. "Well whoever it was, he or she will have to defeat me," it roared again.

"And exactly how would we go about defeating you?" Kim asked.

"You must defeat me, by beating me at ……. checkers."

"Oh please" Kim said. She didn't have the time or the patience to waste her time playing checkers with a spirit.

Kim did a double back flip past the ghost. While he was turning around, Ron and Rufus ran for it. They both made to the exit, and were about to leave when they heard the spirit say something.

Trying to save face, because he knew he couldn't beat these two, he said, "well you aren't worth my time, and besides my favorite TV show, 'Desperate Pyramid Builders' is on.

On their way out of the pyramid they stopped to examine the green slash marks that Wade had showed them on the kimunicator.

"Whatever the reason," said Kim. "These were definitely left by Sheego. I think it's time to visit Dr. Dracken… again."

Kim turned on her kimunicator. "Wade, we'll need a ride."

A.N. Well there's another chapter for you. What did you think? Again thanks a lot to charizardag for the great idea about the Egyptian gods making an appearance. We tweaked it a little bit, but that's something I wouldn't have thought of on my own. And of course I always benefit from your reviews.
