House of Anubis Season 4
House of Codes
"I will rise!" The Sibunas finally know who the mysterious figure who haunts their dreams is. Amun-Ra, the combination of Egyptian Mythology's most powerful gods, is planning on awakening on "Medinet Habu", the day Earth and the godly realm are closest. To do this four artifacts are needed, that Victor is after. It is a race between Sibuna and Victor to find these artifacts before it is too late. Meanwhile, a man in a skeleton mask has just attacked Joy...
Nina flipped through the pages of the golden book trying to find the page Mr. Sweet had shown Victor. All of the text was in Ancient Egyptian and was hard to decipher, even for Fabian.
"I can't hardly translate any of this," he complained, "Most of this stuff is depicted into code."
"What do you mean?" Eddie asked,
"Who ever wrote this book didn't want anyone just reading it," Fabian explained, "Its arranged in a certain Egyptian code, probably used by some ancient cult." Nina finally flipped to the page she was looking for and marveled.
"Guys," she stammered, "Check this out." All of Sibuna huddled around the book dumbstruck. There, inscribed on the ancient pages, were near perfect images of the Cup of Ankh, the Mask of Anubis, the Eye of Horus, and... The fourth drawing, much larger and above the other three drawings, was a large red crown, glimmering and shining.
"What are these things?" K.T asked intrigued, "And why is your locket on here Nina?"
"These," Fabian answered still looking down at the book, "Are the artifacts of the gods, K.T. As you know, Nina's locket isn't just a normal locket."
"Its the Eye of Horus," Patrica explained to her.
"It can open secret doors to the Cellar," she said, "So what?"
"Its means a lot more than that," Nina said, taking out her locket. She handed it to Fabian who held it up to the light.
"Its called the Eye of Horus for a reason," he said, "This must really be really be an ancient artifact from the god Horus."
"Wow," Nina said, staring at the locket, "No wonder Sarah wanted me to keep this hidden."
"So what happens if this Amun-Ra awakens?" Alfie asked, "Is he a good guy or bad guy?"
"Well Alfie," Fabian replied,"Considering that in our dreams hes slashing at us with a giant sword, I can't imagine its a good thing."
"And Victor and the Society are about to release him into our world," Patricia realized.
"We need to find these artifacts," Nina said.
"We already have two right?" Amber asked, "The Cup of Ankh is still hidden in the attic."
"The Mask of Anubis is with the Treasures of Egypt Exhibition," Eddie said.
"What about this?" K.T wondered pointing at the red crown. "What is it?"
"Fabian?" Nina asked. Fabian began to read the text below the picture of the crown.
"This is not in code," Fabian told the group, "This is in traditional Egyptian hieroglyphics."
"Well don't keep us in suspense!" Eddie yelled, "What is it?"
"The Crown of... Amun," Fabian translated.
"This is the crown of the king of the gods?" Amber asked.
"Yes Amber," Fabian answered, "Your actually paying attention.
"Like I've said before," Amber boasted, "I've always been the brains of Sibuna."
"Where do you suppose it is?" K.T asked. Everyone looked at Fabian for answers.
"Come on guys I don't know everything right off the back," he closed the golden book, "I need time to study this."
"In the meantime," Nina said, "We should find out what Victor is up to."
"Joy's Dad works for Victor," Alfie pointed out, "We could ask her if she knows everything."
"I doubt she does," Patricia said.
"Even so," Eddie contradicted, "Its not a bad idea." Patricia glowered at him. She did not like bringing her best friend into this.
"Alfie, Patricia, K.T," Nina said, "Why don't you go find out if Joy knows anything. Fabian you keep researching that book. Try to find out where that crown is and anything else we should know about Medinet Habu. Eddie and Amber, lets go get the Cup." She put up her hand. "Sibuna."
"Sibuna," everyone echoed. The meeting ended.
"I just think it'd be fun," Joy said. Her, Willow, Mara, and Mick were in the living room of Anubis House.
"Joy," Mara responded, "Why would you want to go to some junkyard."
"Look," Joy stated, "Its for some research project Miss Valentine wants us working on." Mick laughed. He was tossing a basketball up in the air while lying on a couch.
"What sort of project is that?" he chuckled. Joy was becoming frustrated now.
"Look," she said, "If you don't want to help, fine. I'll just trek through all the rubbish myself thanks." Mick got up.
"If you really want me to," Mick smiled, "I'll go." He winked at Joy. She smiled.
"Anyone else?"
"A friend in need?" Willow suddenly spoke up, "Of course I'll come."
"That's two," Joy glanced at Mara.
"Oh alright," she gave in. Suddenly, Fabian walked into the common area carrying a large bag. Mara decided to act. "It will be fun," she said looking at Mick. He smiled back. Fabian did not miss the jester, glancing away as he proceeded to his room down the hall.
"Why aren't you inviting Jerome?" Mara realized.
"Why would you miss him?" Joy responded harshly, "And no you three will do."
"Do?" Mara asked confused, "What do you mean...?" Before Joy could answer, Jerome walked in.
"Thanks Joyless," he grimaced, "If you ever need me, i'll be in the kitchen." He stormed away.
It was just then that Alfie, Patricia, and K.T ran into the room.
"Joy!" Patricia called, "Could we talk to you for a moment?"
"Umm..." Joy said sounding confused, "Sure."
"In private," K.T added.
Patricia and K.T lifted Joy up from her seat and pulled her into the entrance hall.
"What is it with you guys?" she asked, "Got another Cup of Ankh to find?"
"I wish," Alfie joked sarcastically," We need to..." K.T elbowed him.
"Joy," Patricia said, "Do you know if your Dad has been in touch with Victor lately?"
"What!" she asked, "Why would you say that?"
"Nothing," Alfie quickly replied, "We've..." He turned to Patricia and K.T back up.
"Look," Patricia said, "I'll be honest with you. We've heard that Victor is reforming the society. We are wondering if you know anything about it?"
"I'm sorry no I don't," Joy said still looking semi-shocked, "My Dad is supposed to be on some business trip to Whales right now."
"Alright," K.T said disappointed, "Thanks anyways Joy." The Sibuna members walked down the hall, heading to join Fabian.
"See ya Joy," Alfie called. After seeing them walk down the hall, Joy began to ponder.
"So, Victor has reformed the society," she murmured, "Very interesting, quite intriguing."
"Drat Corbiere!" Victor hollered from inside his office. "I don't know what to do, my friend." Victor rubbed his father's ring. He popped it open and glanced at The Tear of Gold his Father had left him, Robert-Frobisher Smythe's secret to immortality. "There is no solution to this problem," he stammered, "The Cup of Ankh is destroyed, the Golden Book stolen, and I cannot even begin to guess where Amun's crown is hidden." Just then Victor's phone rang. He grudgingly picked it up.
"Yes who's there?"
"Victor its me," Mr. Sweet said from the other end of the line.
"Awh, Eric," Victor said sourly, "What do you have to report?"
"Rather good news revolving around the Mask of Anubis," Mr. Sweet answered.
"Yes what is it?" Victor replied anxiously.
"I have retrieved the gem from the Frobisher Shield and have it under safe keeping. Furthermore, I discovered I still have the replica of the mask still in a cabinet in my office."
"Good, good, now what of the actual mask?"
"I have been in touch with my colleague, Mr. Gustauv Zeastack, who told me the Treasures of Egypt is on display at Westwater Academy currently."
"Excellent Eric, keep me informed." Victor hung up. Even though the society was close to getting their hands on the Mask of Anubis, Victor knew he had know idea how to get any of the others. He began to think.
"Sarah," he said to himself, "Sarah-Frobisher Smythe! Yes. The Eye of Horus, Corbiere! Sarah was the chosen one before Nina Martin, meaning she would have had the Eye. It is a relic of the Priestess Amerisis, so it would be descended through the Chosen One. Sarah would have given the Horus's Eye to..." Victor rose from his chair and bolted out of his office.
"Come on," Eddie said, leading the group up the stairs to the attic.
"Well this is just like old times," Amber laughed as they snuck past Victor's vacant office.
"A little too much like old times," Nina said rolling her eyes. They proceeded around the corner and down the hallway, where the girls's rooms are. At the very end of the hall an old menacing door stared at them.
"Do you think you can still pick the lock Nina?" Amber asked. Nina took out her bobby pin.
"I can try," she answered and began to pick the lock.
"Your doing it wrong," Eddie contradicted, "Let me." Eddie took the pin from Nina and stuck it into the key hole. With a few turns the door creaked open. He handed the pin back to Nina.
"Good job," she smiled. Eddie and Amber proceeded through the door and into the attic but just as Nina was about to...
"Well Ms. Martin, what are you doing?" Victor called from the other end of the hall. He had not seen Amber and Eddie. Thinking fast, Nina took the Eye of Horus from out of her pocket and handed it to Eddie out of view.
"Get the cup," she mouthed. Eddie nodded, taking the locket, and ran up the stairs with Amber.
Eddie and Amber galloped up the stairs heading to the top of the attic.
"Come on its right through..." Amber began to say. Her and Eddie stopped dead in their tracks. Someone was already in the attic.
Well that concludes another chapter of HOA season 4. Still looking for title suggestions or ideas for the story. Please review. Thanks- Officer2nd
