Disclaimer : I do not own 'The Mummy' or 'The Mummy Returns'. If I did, I wouldn't need to write fan fiction, I'd be making an othermovie!
Note : Okay, I admit it. I got the name "Nemalie" by mixing up the letters in my own name, wich is Melanie.
jonnycarnahan : Don't worry, they'll be more Jonathan! ;D
adele : Know what? That's actually a great idea! I'll be sure to add that in the story soon!
Ardeth sat down on the roof. He was still quite confussed about Nemalie.
"Who are you?" Asked Ardeth, looking up at the sky.
"I belive I have already introduced myself, my good man," replied Nemalie.
"You have only told me your name," pointed out Ardeth, turning his head to look towards Nemalie.
"And what else is there you want to know?" Asked Nemalie, curiously.
"You are a Mejai warrior." Answered Ardeth.
"And so are you." Replied Nemalie to Ardeth's answer.
"Yes, I am a medjai leader." Said Ardeth, standing up.
"I know who you are, Ardeth. I am not stupid." Said Nemalie in a serious tone of voice. She walked towards a bag that was on the other side of the roof.
"But you can not be a medjai warrior. Medjai warriors are suppost to be men; not women." Stated Ardeth.
"I am not suppost to be a medjai warrior, no," replied Nemalie.
"Then how did you bacome a medjai warrior?" Asked Ardeth as Nemalie picked up a bag with a big smirk.
"My good father was a good, respectable medjai. When I was the age of three, he made me get the tattoos. A few years later he began to teach me how to fight like a medjai warrior. When I was only 16, he had been killed. A week after I found out he died, I left my home and began protecting other people." Explained Nemalie. She opened up a bag and pulled out some clothes. A black pair of pants and a light blue top. She then pulled out a scarf.
"You will need to wear this clothing, and if you don not want them to know you are a medjai, you will need to wear this head scarf over your face," said Nemalie.
Ardeth grabbed the clothes from her and changed his clothing.

"Guys, I don't think this is a very good idea. I mean, they'll figure..." Began Jonathan before trailling off. He completly froze when he saw some weird looking vase on the ground.
"Jonathan, come on!" ordered Rick. Jonathan nodded, but he didn't move. Rick and Evy walked a little further away.
The vase was black, and it had stripes made out of gold all around it. It was quite tall. Inbetween each golden stripes were a bunch of drawings... Perhaps writting?
Not thinking of what bad could happen, Jonathan slowly picked up the vase. Evy spun her head around to look towards Jonathan, knowing Jonathan had just done something stupid.
"Oh, crap!" Shouted Evy, running towards Jonathan. Rick didn't know what was going on, he was quite confussed. Just when she was a few steps away from Jonathan, some sort of a trap door just came falling down from nowhere. Evy didn't make it; she was at the other end of the trap door.
Jonathan slowly placed the vase back on the ground, exacly where it had been before, hoping to god that it would move the trap door; but it didn't. 'Now I really need to find Ardeth,' thought Jonathan, 'he should know how to get rid of the door.'
Suddenly, Jonathan felt a gun against his back. He turned his head to see the man that wanted Laura very badly.
"Where is it, Jonathan? I know you know where it is." Asked Io'Seer, seriously.
"I don't know... I told you, I gave it to a museum!" Answered Jonathan, sticking to his lie.
"If you gave it to a musuem, wich one did you give it too?" Asked Io'Seer, not giving up.
"I don't know... I... Igave it to my sister, who gave it to a museum." Replied Jonathan. He would have given a name of a museum, but he couldn't think of any of them. He knew that she was stuck at the other side of the trap door, so he didn't worry. He'd take care of finding Ardeth first.
"Where is your sister, if she truly does know where it is." Asked Io'Seer.
"She stayed back at my house. She's pregnant and Rick wouldn't let here come along." Lied Jonathan. Evy wasn't pregnant.
"Where is Rick? Who else is here with you?" Asked Io'Seer. Jonathan wasn't ready for such a question. He thought of a quick reply.
"Rick is home with my sister and their son. A couple of medjais came along with me to find Ardeth." Quickly replied Jonathan, lying.
"And where are these medjais you speak of?" Asked Io'Seer.
"I don't know. They went off to travel the pyramid." Said Jonathan, lying.
Little did Jonathan know, there was an other medjai but Ardeth, a medjai who came for Ardeth. And the medjai's name was Nemalie Des. A brave medjai warrior that no one knew about. She had saved many people, but no one knew who she was. She didn't want people to figure her out.
"Fine. Come with me." Ordered Io'Seer.
--
"Rick? Rick? Are you okay?" Asked Evy with worry.
"Yes, sure. I'm fine." Replied Rick getting up. When the trap door feel, so did a few big rocks. A rock hit Rick in his back when he bent down to try to protect his head from the rocks.
"We're trapped in here. Jonathan picked up that damn vase. It made a trap door fall down, and the only way out of this place is if someone places the vase somewhere else... I'm not sure where, though. There are instructions on the vase." She explained.
"There's got to be a way out of here. Do you have the map?" Asked Rick in pain.
"That's right!" She said in a tone of relief. She took the map out of her pocket and unfolded it.
"I wish I was good at reading these things..." Said Evy, disapointed at the fact she couldn't understand it, "...I know Alex would have been able to read it easily. I can't read pyramid maps easily."
Both Rick and Evy sighed heavily with disapointment. Evy then sat down next to Rick.

"Ardeth, do you know who that is?" Asked Nemalie, looking down on land towards Io'Seer and Jonathan. Ardeth quickly ran up beside her, and looked straight at Io'Seer, noticing Jonathan was infront of Io'Seer. Ardeth slowly put a smallsmile on his face.
"They are here. The O'Connell's," Ardeth said as his small smile fadded away, "and Jonathan."
He quickly grabbed his scarf and wrapped it around his head, hiding all his madjai tattoos. He was dressed in the clothes Nemalie handed him earlier. Nemalie looked at Ardeth put on his scarf, then she put on hers when he finished.
"We shall wait until night before leaving this roof. We will need to get Jonathan out of there first." said Ardeth.
Nemalie nodded and watched as Io'Seer and Jonathan entered the building, wondering what Io'Seer's reaction would be like when he found out Ardeth had escaped, and two of his men had been killed.
They just stayed there for a few minutes, in complete silence... Until they heard a bit of arguing coming from inside the building. The only sentance they could make out was 'I thought you took away his weapons!'. The both chuckled a little when they heard it. Finally, Ardeth broke their silence.
"Why did you get me out of there?" Asked Ardeth with a serious looking face.
"You are a medjai leader; why would I nothelp you out? I can notstop Io'Seer by myself, you know. We can easily stop Io'Seer, if we work together," replied Nemalie.
How will Evy and Rick get out of there? Will Ardeth and Nemalie succed at getting Jonathan out of that building? Why did Jonathan Call the powerful stone 'Laura'? Find out in the next chapter : I'd like to thank adele for the 'Why did Jonathan call it Laura?' idea!.
