Been busy but now I am trying keep the chapters frequent. :D

I'm also making all my stories have longer chapters, go read my other works.

All mummies must die: Carter

Walt, Me, Sadie, Bes and Thwart collapsed to the sand. Its warmness was comforting after being inside a deep dark catacomb. "Shall we continue?" I asked. "Yep." Sadie replied. I was about to open a portal when I heard moaning coming from inside the hole. When a few mummies emerged, we were ready.

"Khe-fa." A fist came from within me and flew at a mummy. It flew like a rag doll and crunched into a rock, turning to dust. More mummies emerged. Soon we were almost fully surround. "Drowah" Sadie said quick. A bubble of golden light surrounds us four. We had destroyed few mummies but more just kept appearing.

The mummies slacked as they approached our bubble, they began banging it like a dog wishing to come inside. "Quick make a portal." I told Bes. He began working and soon we had a sand portal. The bubble shattered, and the mummies approached. Their stench from thousands of years being locked in a cave. The lacking jaws hanging towards the center of their chests. One got too close it latched onto Sadie, gripping her in a tight bear hug.

(It reeked according to Sadie)

I summoned my Khopesh. I sliced the mummy in half and it crumbled. Frantically Sadie yelled "Ha-di." a large explosion occurred in the center of the mummies. Many flew into dust but more prevailed and proceeded to approach. Sadie made one final barrier. And the five of us jumped into the portal.

We found ourselves inside Brooklyn House. I collapsed onto the couch. Breathing heavily, I drift into sleep. In my dream I found myself in the cavern again. What I saw was Kek giving the orders of destroying his only complications with destroying mankind. 'us.' He ordered what looked like shadows. It was more shadows. They were replicas of Me, Sadie, Walt, Bes and Thwart. They all mischievously looked in my direction. 'They know I'm here.' I thought.

When I finally awoke, the others were watching me. "What?" I questioned. "you were shaking kid." Bes replied. "I was sleeping, I had a dream," I explain. "Kek knows that we are here, he is going to send a small assault to kill us." "Not more." Sadie whined, Walt comforts her. However, I thought she was being rather childish, but she wants the attention from Walt, so I concur. I decided I as hungry and it be great to eat something. I strolled to the patio and picked up some bread and ham. The ham was steamed to perfection and the bread was freshly baked, my mouth was watering. I had not realized how hungry I was.

I devoured every crumb of my meal and decided to find Zia. I found her in her room. She was laying on her bed, clearly exhausted, but I didn't know why. Her eyes were closed tight, I decided to slowly creep to her. When I was close enough I plopped into her bed quick. She gasped then saw me and smirked. "You shouldn't do that." She warned. I kissed her on her forehead and she rolled her eyes.

"Why do you seem exhausted." I ask. "The children were just being mischievous." She explained. She closed her eyes shut again. She exhaled deeply. I decide to lay with her a bit longer then go into my own room. When inside I'm greet by Sadie. "Hello lover boy." She teases. "Oh, shut up." I say mildly. She decided to make herself at home, by laying on my bed fully stretched. She turned on my tv towards the sports channel.

"OOOOHH, football." She exclaims loudly. I just frowned at the screen, I never liked football it was a brain-dead sport. Causing injuries, and nothing more or less. But Phutball, or soccer for Americans. That is a good sport. I decide to take the remote from Sadie and change the channel to soccer. "Hey, I was watching that!" Sadie whined. She punched me in the arm. I winced but then climbed into bed. "Why did you come here?" I asked. "I just wanted to hang out with my big brother." She beams. After everything she's still young little girl Sadie. She lays by my side as we watch soccer. "Carter," She asks "Is Kek on his way?" I reply, "I'm not sure yet Sadie."

We just lay there in bed watching the game until it is about 11:00. The game ended and my team one. "Yes." I hollered. I did an odd victory dance, completely betraying the fact that it was not me who did anything to accomplish the game. "Boo, that's dumb." Sadie said negatively. I ignored her and kept dancing. When she got out of my bed she walked up to me and gave me a great big hug. "Thanks brother," she starts. "For a normal evening." She embraces me tighter then swiftly walks out the door, down the hall way and into her room.

After that I was sort of awestruck. Sadie thanked me for having a sibling's night. "I enjoyed it too." I mumbled to myself. I lay back in bed and relax. The game had ended so I decided to flip through the channels. Suddenly, I turn to the news channel. It shows fires, burning in a metal storage yard. I look more closely, and I realize that is our yard. I dash out of bed and to the balcony There are fires surrounding Brooklyn house. "Oh no, not now." I grumble. I tumble through my door and down the hall. I nock vigorously at Sadie's door. When she opens it, she looks like she's in tears. I don't know why. I grab her arm and dash again down the hall way to the center of the living room. I scream inside my head. 'I don't know what to do, I don't know!' I think. I set Sadie down gently onto the couch then run back towards the sleeping courters. I bang on every door as loud as I can and scream "We're under attack this is not a drill, get up now!"

Soon Brooklyn house is lively everyone sprang into action barring windows and setting barriers around the house. Setting traps for intruders. I open the door to the stairs that lead to the roof. There freak was. Flailing obviously scared out of his griffin mind. He was flapping his wings frantically attempting to take off. However, he is chained to the roof and can't move. I try to calm him but have no success. I eventually have success calming him, after I promise him more food then he's ever had. That was a lie.

I unchain my pet and hop on his back. Together we soar above the fire, to see what caused it. I dive steep towards the ground and spot a few enemies. More demons and a few mummies and finally our shadows leading it all. I summon my Khopesh and slice a demon's head off. When it crumbles its friends realize they're not alone anymore.

They stare at me shouting curses in Egyptian and I suppose demon. "Khe-fa" I yelled over the noise. A giant blue fist came crashing down on more demons flattening them to dust. I came down for another swing, I sliced a mummy in half. The approaching opponents were not that dangerous it was the shadows that were dangerous. Listening behind me I heard orders, coming from Zia. "Open fire." She instructed.

Suddenly balls of fire flung from catapults atop Brooklyn house. 'How had they set those up so quick' I thought. I soured vertically to avoid the projectiles. They crashed into the demon ranks. Turning everything, they hit or burned to dust. "Ha-wi" I swing my sword and naturally a much larger blue Khopesh follows my movements, slicing through four more demons.

Soon after more catapult fire and slicing all that was left was piles of sand and dust. Even the fire was dying. I glared at the shadow replicas, mumbling a curse. They didn't attack, they instead just turned and retreat. I'm sure everyone was thankful for this. I flew Freak back to the roof of Brooklyn house and touched down. Waiting for me was Walt, Sadie and Zia. "Why did they retreat?" Walt inquires. "I'm not sure," I reply. "I believe the shadow generals or replicas have same equals as us. So, five against five along with our artillery and other magicians…" "they would have lost." Zia cuts in.

"Exactly." I state. By this time, it is starting to turn morning. Dawn has arrived, and we decide for breakfast. All magicians walk to the patio and begin to feast. I take my food and join Zia. Being the picky eater she is, she chose to only eat an apple along with orange juice. I decide to munch on a Belgian waffle, eggs and bacon. With some milk as my drink. The warm crunch of the waffle is amazing. Only the freshest food here at Brooklyn house. "How are you doing.?" I asked with enthusiasm. "Fine." Zia replies simply. She ends the conversation before it begins. I wonder what is up, Zia and Sadie are acting rather upset over something.

I decide not to probe and just move on. "Zia." I start. "Would you maybe want to come with me after breakfast." Zia balled the room. Then stared at me. "Sure, we need to talk anyway." I felt confused about her statement and I'm sure I looked confused as well, but we preceded to eat. The sweet taste of the bacon filled my mouth, its pure maple taste (because it was maple bacon) was heavenly. I released this was the perfect time to say something flirty with Zia, to amp her mood up of course. "You know, this bacon is godly, but it's not as heavenly as you." I told Zia with a large grin spreading across my face.

She gave a slight smirk and gave me a peck on the cheek. "thank you." She replied. When we finished we decided to talk in the library. I shut the door, so none could over hear. I also turned all Shabti off, however I did so they couldn't overhear. When done I decided to probe. "Zia, why are you and Sadie acting strange?" she eyeballed me top to bottom, then answered sheepishly. "We fear, the loss of you." Her lip quivered, I embraced my girlfriend. I honestly never wanted to stop hugging her. I understood. She feared me being lost in battle, her and Sadie must have had this fear but just kept it to themselves.

"You will never lose me." I comforted. "We'll be together until the end." I said smiling. "Hopefully that's not for a very long time." She replied smiling. "Yeah, hope so." I kissed her. "Anything else you want to talk about?" She asked. I gently stroked her hair through my hand, "No." I said. We exited the library hand in hand and decided to find Sadie. She was sitting in the living room on the couch with Walt. They were enjoying a lovely conversation when we plopped next to them. "Sup." I greeted. "Sup to you to." Sadie and Walt said in basic unison. "Sadie can we talk?" I inquired. She nod and we strolled up to my room. When we got there, I shut the door and gave my sister a bear hug. She obviously confused hugged me back halfheartedly. "What?" She wondered. "I know you worry for me, Zia explained." I say. "Oh." She says. She shook her head up and down.

She embraced me full heartedly this time. "Yeah, I worry when you act all heroic," she starts. "you're my big brother after all." She smiles "Yeah, we'll have each other's back always." I respond. "Love your big brother."

"Love you little sis."

Review, and hope you enjoyed :D
