We hugged each other.
Meela: It is so great to see you . . .
Alexa: Yes . . you as . . . . well . . .
Behind Meela was Imhotep. Meela smiled at me then looked behind her. She turned back around . . . her attitude changed. She looked at me with dark eyes.
Alexa: Meela?
She smiled evilly and looked down. I looked down to see what she was gazing at and realized . . . she had stabbed me with a knife. I looked back at her. Suddenly her eyes changed . . . I began to fall. I covered up my wound.
Evy: Ahhhhhh! Alexa!
Ardeth turned around.
Ardeth: No!
Meela: Alexa? Alexa! Oh my god what have I done?
Imhotep took her by the arm . . . and dragged her into the pyramid. Alex came over followed by Rick and Jonathan.
Alex: She's going to be alright. Isn't she dad?
Rick: She . . . she's gonna be fine . . don't worry . . . she'll be alright.
Meela: Alexa no! I'm sorry! It was Anck-su-namun! Not me! (sob)
Ardeth came running and he landed by my side. He lifted my hands from my wound.
Ardeth: Oh my god . . (sob) . . please don't leave me . . . I can't loose you again . . .
Alexa: Evy, Rick . . . . t-take care of Alex for me . . .
Evy turned into Rick chest and began crying. Rick was even getting teary-eyed. Jonathan and Alex were crying too, as well as Ardeth.
Ardeth: Please . . . please do not leave me.
Alexa: I . . . I can't . . . m-make it.
Ardeth: yes . . yes, you can. Your strong . . . . . oh my god . . . . Alexa . . . . . no
Alexa: (gasp) . . . I . . . . can't . . .(gasp) . . .(gasp)
Ardeth: Alexa . . . . I . . . I love you.
Alexa: (weak smile) I –I . . . . .Lo -- . . . . . . . .(gasp)
My soul again left my body. But god let me stay and watch.
Ardeth: No! (cry) Noooo!
Everyone cried . . for a long time. Then Ardeth's attitude changed . . . I could see it in his eyes. He wanted revenge. He stood up and walked to Rick and Evy.
Ardeth: O'Connell, get every body out . . . Leave without me.
Evy: That's crazy. We are not going to leave you!
Ardeth: You must understand! It was my job to protect her from harm . . . now I have failed. Please Leave Me!
Jonathan, Alex, Rick, and Evy turned and ran towards where we left the balloon. Ardeth Stooped down and picked up my body and walked into the pyramid. Then as if a wave of color. Everything turned back to the way it used to look. Oh, no. Someone has awakened the Army of Anubis
Ardeth: Tehl dai dahna.- So it begins. -
We came to a room with Mr. Hafez, trying to get his arm out of a scorpion statue.
Mr. Hafez: You too late! I have released the Army of Anubis. Lord Imhotep shall soon kill the Scorpion King and take command.
Ardeth: Not after I get through with him.
I heard a scream and the sound of flesh tearing. Mr. Hafez took out his arm and soon realized has nothing but bone on his arm. Ardeth took my body to a room just before the chamber to the Scorpion King.
Imhotep: (in Ancient Egyptian) I must face the Scorpion King alone.
Meela: No. You must not. Without your powers, he will kill you.
Imhotep took the Book of the Dead out of Meela's hands.
Imhotep: Nothing can stop us. It is our Destiny!
She took the book from him and slammed it on the ground.
Meela: Niy! I don't want to loose you again!
They kissed, then Imhotep took off into the chamber.
Meela: Niy! Niy!
Ardeth cleared his throat and Meela turned around. Meela's eyes flickered from Anck-su-namun to Meela. Ardeth set my body on the floor and ran into the chamber. ( Nigh! )Meela ran and got the Book of the Dead and sat down by me.
Meela: Alexa, I'm so sorry. But the only spell in here is one of immortality, to bring you back to life. You also can choose only one person to be immortal with you . . . . well here it goes . . .
In the chamber came the sound of a gong, and then a bellow . . . then it was silent.
Meela: Hootash naraba oos Veesloo. Ahm kum Ra. Ahm kum Dei. Efday shokran, efday shokran amenophus!
I felt the vacuum again and suddenly I gasped for air. Meela hugged me. I jumped up and got out my Sai daggers.
Alexa: You killed me . . .
Meela: No! Anck-su-namun did it. . . . She was getting back at your sister Evy for telling on her and Imhotep in ancient times. Please don't . . . . . . (gasp) . . . . (evil grin)
Her eyes were dark again . . . not her own.
Anck-su-namun: Nefertiry . . .
Alexa(Nefertiry): Anck-su-namun . . .
Anck-su-namun: Tiuh.- Good. -
She charged at me then began swiping at me. I blocked all her moves. I twirled and kicked the back of her leg. She fell but got right back up. She pushed my back up against a wall.
Anck-su-namun: Mecka de sackah du yeht.- You have remembered the old ways.-
I head-butted her. She looked at me as if she wasn't expecting that. I ran, twirled then swiped at her. It was a hit. I scratched her across her chest. I hit her in the stomach with my elbow then I swiped her across the face. It left a scratch and began to bleed. I stabbed her in the stomach. She fell to the ground, dead.
Alexa: My turn to return the favor of Immortality. Hootash naraba oos Veesloo. Ahm kum Ra. Ahm kum Dei. Efday shokran, efday shokran amenophus!
She woke up and gasped. She looked at me. She was Meela now. Then we heard a cry some from the chamber. She ran into the chamber of the Scorpion King . . . I chased after her. We came into the chamber. It was full of fire. As soon as I came in the Scorpion King hit Ardeth. He flew across the room. The Scorpion King began to snap his pinchers at him. Ardeth dodged them and kicked them. Ardeth kicked a bowl full of lava and it tipped over. The scorpion King reared up and began to toss his pinchers back and forth. Ardeth got out his saber and stabbed the Scorpion King just as he was about to fall into the Scorpion King's crevice of souls. Ardeth shoved it in further and Imhotep came behind him . . . .
Imhotep: No!
The Scorpion King turned to dust. I had fallen down because the dust blew me down. When the dust cleared. I didn't see Imhotep or Ardeth. I looked at Meela, She was worried about Imhotep. Stalagmites began to fall from the ceiling. Then I saw two hands come out of the crevice of souls. Ardeth brought his head out of the crevice . . . but couldn't hold there for long . . . The same with Imhotep. I glanced at Meela . . . she glanced at me. We both knew at once that if we went to try to save them, we'd probably die. But we also knew that we loved them, and so this was a test of our love. Stalagmites were still falling every where.
Ardeth: Alexa! . . . Alexa no! Get out of here! Just get out of here! Nah!
