Hey guys. FOUND INTERNET! Nah, I'm at home, we leave tomorrow! I'm so happy ya'll enjoy it!
CAMP - LATER THAT NIGHT
Having just freshened up for bed, Evelyn exited the temple and stepped past the sleeping Diggers. She spotted the Egyptologist, his jewelled canopic jar snug under one arm, the Book Of The Dead laying loose under the other. Evelyn stared at the Book, nervously biting her lip, then she sneaks over, carefully steals it, and quickly tip-toes away.
Lying on some blankets by the campfire, O'Connell rolls over and sees Evelyn, sitting wide-eyed, staring at the Book.
"That's called stealing you know." He informed her.
"Well to you, my brother and my sister it's called borrowing."
"Evie, you were never the type to borrow." I smirked getting up and sitting beside her.
"You sure you wanna be playin' with that?" Rick asked leaning over us.
"It's only a book. No harm ever came from reading a book." I gave Rick a nervous glance and Evie began reading.
"Ahm kum Ra. Ahm kum Dei." Evie began. She kept reading all of the page in Ancient Egyptian.
"Yae to way." I finished.
IMHOTEP'S CHAMBER - NIGHT
"Yae too way, yae to way, yae to way, yae to way." Laurie's voice travelled through the camp and into the crevice. Suddenly, the mummies eyes open and its scream pierced through the camp.
BASE CAMP - NIGHT
"NO! You must not read from the book!" Greg yelled getting up. I looked over at him and my mouth opened a bit. There over him was a black cloud coming towards the camp.
"Jonathon!" I screamed jumping on him. "Get up."
"What! Who died?"
"We are going to if you don't move!" He scrambled up and we ran. The Americans ran out of their tent and followed us as we ran into the crevice.
LABYRINTH CORRIDOR - NIGHT
"Did you see that! Grasshoppers! Billions of grasshoppers!" Jonathon shouted flicking a grasshopper of his jacket.
"That's one of the plagues right?" Rick asked.
"This is not a plague. It's generational. Every so many years the locusts of Egypt have a population explosion and they all take flight." Evie said. She put her foot down and something squished. Rick lowered his torch to reveal a horde of frogs.
"Okay…what about frogs?" I asked her.
LABYRINTH PASSAGEWAY - NIGHT
"I ain't dying tonight!" Daniels yelled running down the passageway followed by Henderson, Burns and Beni.
"Ouch!" Burns yelled falling to his peril.
"Henderson! Daniels!" He yelled but they were gone.
"Oh my…" Beni yelled running down the corridor.
"My glasses…can you help me find my…" Beni stomped on Burns glasses and ran. "Glasses."
LABYRINTH CORRIDOR – NIGHT
"What the hell is that!" I asked watching something appear out of the ground.
"How would I know?" Jonathon yelled. Suddenly, thousands of scarabs ran out of it and Evie screamed.
"RUN!" She shouted and ran as Rick threw his torch on them.
"Go, go, go!" He yelled.
PASSAGEWAY - NIGHT
"Daniels?" Burns asked as he heard a loud moan. "Is that you?" Burns staggered down the passageway making his way to a figure about ten feet in front of him.
"Henderson, that you?" He tripped and his hands fall deep into the mummies rotting chest. He starts to scream but a skeletal hand clamped over his mouth.
LABYRINTH STAIRCASE - NIGHT
"Jump." I yelled to Evie. She jumped on a rock as the massive herd came closer. I ran and jumped onto a grotto. Rick and Jonathon jumped beside Evie as the scarabs passed. I leaned against the wall and sighed. Suddenly, the wall moved and I fell through it.
"Laurie?" Jonathon yelled jumping back onto the path as the scarabs passed. "Laurs?"
"Laurie!" Evie screamed.
"Laurie?" Rick yelled.
SCARAB CHAMBER – NIGHT
I screamed as loud as I could but it didn't work. I was stuck in this filthy room with a psychotic mummy running around on a rampage. I put my hands on the wall and began to walk when I heard a moan. I slowly turned around and saw a man standing up.
"Oh, Burns. Thanks goodness." He turned around and I screamed. His eyeballs and tongue were missing. I kept screaming and back away, hyperventilating. I bumped into something and turned around to see our mummy with two eyeballs and a tongue. I screamed some more. I bumped back into the wall. My shirt ripped revealing most of my stomach, the top was cut a bit so unfortunately, my bra was showing a bit. My pant legs are torn a bit and my face was sweaty and dirty.
"Anck-su-namun?" He growled.
LABYRINTH STAIRCASE - NIGHT
"Damnit, trap door!" Rick yelled hitting the door with his shoulder.
"We have to find her!" Evie yelled.
"Don't worry, I will."
"RUN YOU SON-OF-A-BITCHES! RUN!" Daniels yelled.
"Go Evie…run!" Rick yelled pushing Jonathon in front of them. One of the diggers fell and Rick was already heading back to help him but it was too late he was half eaten. Jonathon, Daniels and Henderson look in pure horror and Rick and Evie keep running.
SCARAB CHAMBER - NIGHT
"No, Laurie." I said slowly as if I was talking to a one year old.
"Anck-su-namun?" He asked again. I groaned. He slammed his rotten hand on the wall and I whimpered. For the first time in my life, I was scared.
"Please, help me." I said looking at Burns.
"Kadeesh pharos Anck-su-namun!" He yelled. I backed into a corner, shivering with fear as Rick ran in.
"There you are!" He yelled running to my side. "Would you quit playin' around! We gotta get out of here." I didn't look at him. I stared at the mummy and Rick looked over.
"WOAH!" Rick yelled stepping in front of me. He slowly started to push me down the wall.
"ANCK-SU-NAMUUUUUN!" He screams once again. I screamed in fear and Rick shuddered. He suddenly looked up, embarrassed by his fear probably and he screamed back. Why do men have to act so tough and stupid dangerous times?
"Laurie?" Jonathon screamed running into the room followed by Evie, Henderson and Daniels.
"Hi Jonathon." I smiled.
"Are you okay?" He asked stupidly. Evie hit him on the back of the head.
"Oh yeah, we are FINE!" I yelled again. Rick took out his elephant gun and shot our mummy. He flew back and his ribcage was torn off. Rick grabbed my hand and ran.
CREVICE - NIGHT
Rick and I ran through the crevice hand in hand. Sand and blood are blowing everywhere we turned the corner and ran out of the crevice. I halted.
"What are you…" Rick began.
"I told you to leave or die, you refused, and now you may have killed us all. For you have unleashed the creature that we have feared for more than four thousand years." One of the mumia, whose name is Ardeth Bay, said.
"Relax, I got it." Rick frowned.
"No mortal weapons can kill this creature. He is not of this world."
"Are we talking, about the same creature? The walking corpse? Really big mouth? Really bad breath?" I asked.
"You bastards!" Daniels yelled as several Mumia brought Burns over to them.
"What did you do to him?" Henderson asked.
"We saved him! We saved him before Imhotep could finish his work." Ardeth shouted. "Now leave, all of you, before he finishes you off."
"You're not going to kill us?" Jonathon asked. Evie elbowed him in the ribs and yelped. Ardeth turned around and led the mumia out of Hamunaptra.
"I told you, I already got 'em." Rick yelled trying to convince himself. Ardeth stopped and looked back at us dead serious.
"Know this; the creature will be coming for you. He must consummate the curse. And until he does, he will never eat, he will never sleep, and he will never stop."
EVELYN'S QUARTERS - DAY
Rick threw the steamer truck on Evie's dresser and threw a bunch of dresses in it.
"I thought you didn't believe in this stuff?" Rick asked angrily.
"Well, having an encounter with a four thousand year old walking-talking mummy tends to convert one!" She yelled. She took her dresses out of the trunk as Rick piled books into his arms.
"Forget it, we're out the door, down the hall and gone!" Rick yelled back dropping the books into the trunk.
"No we are not." I said taking the books out her trunk. Evie smiled at me in appreciation.
"Yes we are." He said throwing a bunch of things in.
"No we are not." Evie said taking the stuff out. "We woke him up and we must try and stop him."
"We? What we? You read that book I told you not to!" Rick yelled rummaging through her drawers and pulling out a box of jewellery.
"Fine. Me, I…I opened that book and I intend to stop him." Evie sighed exasperated. Rick looked up at me and Evie and stretched a bra in his hands.
"How? You heard that guy, no mortal weapons can kill it."
I grabbed the bra and threw it into one of the drawers. "Then we will have to find some immortal ones." I said.
"There goes that 'we' thing again. Not me, I am outta here!" Rick yelled. He put his hands on the trunk and I slammed it shut.
"LAURIE!" He screamed in pain.
"What?" I asked innocently. He glared at me and blew on his fingers which were turning red.
"According to that Book, once this creature has been reborn, his curse will spread, and as he grows in strength, so will his curse grow, infecting the people until the whole of the earth is destroyed." Evie explained giggling at Rick.
Yeah? So, is that my problem?" He asked.
"It is everyone's problem!" I shouted incredulously.
"Look lady, I appreciate you saving my life and all, but when I signed on, I agreed to take you out there and bring you back, and I did, now were even, end of job, end of story, contract terminated." He said looking at Evie. "And you know what we are up against." He added looking at me.
"That's all I am, a contract to you?" Evie asked sadly.
"I know what we are up against and I am willing to sacrifice my life to destroy it." I shouted.
"You can either tag along with me, or you can stay here and play around with Mister Maggot."
"I am staying." Evie and I decided at the same time.
"Fine." Rick growled.
"Fine." I shouted.
"Fine." He said walking out the door and slamming it.
"FINE!" Evie screamed. I looked at her and smiled.
"You ready to do some ass kicking?"
"Yes and please, say butt kicking." I laughed and helped her put away her things. Suddenly the door opened and Rick threw a bunch of frilly panties at us.
"He touched my panties." I sighed as he slammed the door again.
BRITISH FORT COMPOUND - DAY
Rick angrily stomped through the compound but stopped when he bumped into Beni and a man dressed in robes.
"Beni, ya little stinkweed, where did you slink off to?" Rick asked him.
"You! You left me in the desert to rot." Beni roared angrily.
"Ya, sorry 'bout that." Rick looked at the man in robes. "Who's that?"
"This is Prince Imhotep, High Priest of Osiris." Beni introduced. Rick stuck out his hand.
"Oh, nice to meet ya." Imhotep recoiled his hand and Rick looked him over suspiciously.
"The Prince does not like to be touched by other humans. A silly eastern superstition, I'm afraid." Beni quickly covered.
"Oh, well we all have our little problems today don't we?" Rick asked smiling.
"He has come to help Mister Burns. Somehow I feel responsible." Beni whimpered sadly.
"Oh don't give me that, you've never had any scruples."
"Do you know where I can steal some?" Beni joked. Rick faked punched him and walked away.
"See ya later, padre." As Rick walked away, Imhoteps new eyes glare at him.
CASBAH – DAY
The proverbial den-of-iniquity. Hard men, hard women and hard liquor. Lots of deals going down. An older guy with a
Walrus moustache is drunk and talking to some tough customers. This is Winston.
"I'm the last of the Royal Force still stationed here, you know? All the other ladies died in the air and were buried in the sand." He told some whore. He stumbled and fell into the fountain. "Some senseless bloke spilt his drink." As he got up he walked into Rick.
"Hiya Winston." Rick smiled patting him on the back and walking towards the bar where Jonathon was sitting.
"O'Connell." Winston muttered walking behind him. Rick tapped Jon on the shoulder and pointed at Winston. Jonathon groaned and poured two shots of liquor.
"Cheers." Winston smiled picking up Jonathon's drink and gulping it. "Ever since the end of the Great War, there hasn't been a single challenge worthy of a man like me."
"I've heard it before Winston." Rick sighed. Jonathan shoved him towards another group of unlucky sods. Henderson and Daniels sidle up to the bar next to them.
Burns room - Day
"Over there." Burns said speaking with an impediment. "As you see I won't be needing them anymore." He added referring to his glasses. Imhotep opened the drawer and pulled out some bifocals. He put the bifocals on over his death mask, -- and grinned broadly, his rotted teeth showing through the mouth hole.
"Prince Imhotep thanks you for your bifocals…and for your eyes, and for your tongue." Beni whispered in Burns ear. Burns whimpered in fear and tried to sit up but Beni pushed him down.
"But I am afraid more is needed, the Prince says he must finish the job, consummate the curse which you and your friends have brought down upon yourselves." Beni finished. Imhotep gracefully got up as Beni ran out of the room. Burns had a look of pure terror on his face. Imhotep took of his mask to reveal his hideous, shatter corpse skull.
CASBAH - DAY
"Are you sisters always…" Rick began to ask Jonathon.
"Oh yes always. Especially Laurie."
"Laurie's different." Henderson smiled.
Rick groaned. "He likes her." Jonathon spit out his vodka and looked at Henderson.
"So sue me." He smiled. "Your sister is funny, adventurous and sexy damnit."
"No one has ever said that about my sister." Jonathon said startled.
"There is a first for everything." Henderson replied. Henderson poured three glasses of Vodka and handed one of them to Rick and the other to Jonathon. Three shot glasses clink together. O'Connell, Jonathan and Henderson slug 'em down, -- all three of them instantly spit out the liquid. Half the bar spits out their drinks as well.
"Sweet Jesus! That tasked just like,…like…" Henderson stuttered.
"Blood." Rick finished for him looking at Jonathon nervously.
"And the rivers and waters of Egypt went red and were as blood." Jonathon quoted.
"He's here." Rick stated as realization hit him. He jumped off the stool and ran out of the room.
"Who's here?" Jonathon asked. Henderson looked at him and shrugged. They both got up and ran when they heard Rick.
"The guy! The Priest! THE MUMMY!"
BRITISH FORT COURTYARD - DAY
"How can you read that?" I asked. "It looks so boring."
"Oh but it's not, its all about reading hieroglyphics." She smiled glancing at me.
"B-o-r-i-n-g." I spelt out.
"LAURIE! EVELYN!" Someone shouted from behind us. I groaned. Rick.
"Yes." Evie said coldly.
"We've got problems." He smiled grabbing our arms.
"No, you have problems!" I yelled. And that's when a barrage of hail and fire slammed into the courtyard. Rick, Evie and I jump back. A water fountain bursts into steam as a wooden trellis catches fire. I began to run under the eaves, Rick and Evie followed as soldiers, servants and camels run in every direction, trying to avoid the hailstorm.
"He's here! That thing is here. I saw him!" Rick yelled stopping near the stairs.
"The creature? Are you sure?" I asked. Rick gives me and incredulous look and points to the hail.
"Pretty damn sure!" The hail and fire come to a stop. Everything goes dead quiet. O'Connell and Evelyn freeze. And then a blood curdling scream is heard coming from the living quarters directly above them. I glanced at Rick. He nodded. I took my gun out and ran up the stairs as Evie followed me and Rick.
BURNS' QUARTERS - DAY
Rick, Evie and I race into the room, past the Servant who is running out screaming. We skidded to a stop as we spotted Burns, or what's left of him, lying dead on the floor, -- HIS BODY IS SHRIVELED TO HALF IT'S SIZE.
Drained of all organs and liquids. Rick and Evie are shocked but my attention isn't on Burns it's on the figure near the fire. Rick and Evie finally hear a loud moan and notice Imhotep standing on the far side of the room. Rick and I draw out our guns and point them at Imhotep. Imhotep was regenerating: A thick skin forms over powerful new musculature. His tendons ripple as his bones bulge and reform. His mouth opens to an inhuman size as he moans and cries out, in severe pain. And then it's over. And he looked like an incredibly muscular, corpse-like vision from hell. Rick and Evie were stunned, while I stood there in pure shock.
"We are in serious trouble." Rick grimaced as Imhotep moved towards them, staring at me. "Back off creep."
Jonathan, Henderson and Daniels ran into the room. They're all stunned at the sight of Imhotep. Rick stepped forward, threw a right hook, and punched Imhotep in the face, -- his fist went through Imhoteps skull and gets stuck deep inside his head. Rick just stared at it, shocked, then quickly yanked his fist back out. The area of Imhoteps face that came into contact with O'Connell's fist quickly degenerates and decays, right down to the bone, as if O'Connell's hand instantly infected it.
"You guys are so helpful!" I yelled at Henderson, Jonathon and Daniels. Imhotep angrily turned, grabbed Rick, and with no effort, threw him across the room and into Jonathan and the others knocking them down. Imhotep looks at his hand, the one that just grabbed Rick, -- it starts to shrivel and decay. He quickly turned to me. I backed away into a wall, terrorized. Imhotep steps up to me.
"You saved me from the undead, and for this I shall make you immortal." He leaned in to kiss me. I tried to block his face with my hands but he was too strong.
"LET HER GO!" Henderson yelled. Suddenly, a white cat jumped onto the piano. Imhotep looked up and the cat hissed. He screamed and moaned. The balcony doors burst open as Imhotep turned into a big tornado of sand and he swirled out of the room. Gone. O'Connell, Evelyn, Jonathan and Daniels stood transfixed. Henderson walked over to Burns body and muttered 'the curse.'
Jack: Rev…
Rick: This ain't your story pal.
Jack: Yer jus' jealous cause Jo thinks I'm…sexy.
Jo: You both are…review savvy!
