Author's note: Sorry that I'm late, guys. Caught a nasty col-*Cough, Cough*cold, and I still got it. Because of it, I haven't been sleeping properly lately which is annoying.
But I'm still determined to finish this story. In fact, this is the final chapter, but don't worry, an epilogue...well, I'll tell you in the Author's note in the end of the chapter.
Either way, let's get to it. I don't own anything here.
Final Chapter: Sailor Moon VS the Mummy.
Rick, Jonathan and Tuxedo Mask were still trying to open the bottom of the statue while the Sailor Scouts and Ardeth were re-preparing themselves, and Team Rocket were shaking still from the close call. Just then, more sickening croaking filled their ears, before they looked back into the tunnel were they came from, and to their dismay, shadows of more mummies were seen, and it told them that the bad guys were getting closer.
"Oh come on! Not more!" Sailor Moon groaned.
"Damn, these guys just don't know when to quit, do they?" Sailor Jupiter cursed.
Ardeth cocked the gun and told the group to keep digging, while he headed in and kept on firing at the Mummies, with the aid of the Sailor Scouts who used their powers to defeat the enemies, but more kept on coming and it was starting to tick the scouts off. Team Rocket, scared out of their minds, decided to help Rick, Jonathan and Tuxedo Mask into digging for the book they were looking for. Finally, after what seemed like forever, the department opened, and in a cloud of dust, Rick pulled out a chest that was smaller and thinner than the one the American's found earlier, and opened it, unwrapping the cloth, and just as Evy predicted, the very golden book was instead, still in good condition.
"Oh! The Book of Amun-Ra." Jonathan gasped. He, Rick, Tuxedo Mask and Team Rocket all shared glances, while Ardeth continued to fire, until the rifle was out of bullets, and the Sailor Scouts were getting exhausted from having used their powers so much against endless horde of mummies.
"I can't believe these guys! It's like there are millions of copies or something!" Sailor Venus cursed.
"And they don't seem to end, do they!?" Sailor Moon shrieked.
Sailor Mars sensed that time was running out, and if Evy isn't saved, then the world is doomed. "There's only one thing to do." she announced. She turned to the Moon Princess and said, "Sailor Moon, you, and the others get to Evy and stop that Mummy! The rest of us will hold off these guys!" to which the other three guardians realized what she meant and nodded in agreement, much to Sailor Moon's dismay.
"No! I'm not losing any of you!" Sailor Moon protested.
"We'll be okay, Sailor Moon." Sailor Venus ensured. "Remember, you, Ash and Sakura defeated the Evil King months ago."
"Besides, with that book and saving Evy, that Mummy is good as a goner!" Sailor Jupiter encouraged.
"We've always believed in you, Sailor Moon, and you'll have Tuxedo Mask and the others to help you." Sailor Mercury finished.
Sailor Moon hesitated, shaking. She hated it when her guardians would sacrifice themselves for her own safety, even if she is a Princess. But she always thought about the safeties of those close to her and that she didn't care for her own safety when it came down to final battles. On the other hand, she had to believe that they can meet up again, and would have to worry about that later. She looked at Tuxedo Mask who nodded, the look on his face mentally telling her that she'll have to trust them. Team Rocket looked at each other in confusion at this.
"I'll go with them." Ardeth announced to Sailor Moon, "Save the girl. Kill the creature!"
Finally, Sailor Moon held a determined look and replied, "You'd better be okay! Or I'll never forgive any of you!"
Ardeth and the four Sailor Scouts nodded, before they all rushed into the tunnel and fought against the Mummies, punching and whacking at them, with the four scouts once again using their powers to severelly damage the enemies. Sailor Moon and the rest of the group immediately grabbed hold of the book, and Rick lit another stick of dynamite and tossed it another side of the wall before the seven of them moved out of the way as the wall exploded and taking out the last of the enemies, leaving Ardeth and the four Sailor Scouts to fend for themselves. Sailor Moon prayed that they were still alive.
"Let's go!" Sailor Moon told the others and they all crept into the wall, hoping they were not too late.
Evy, unconscious for a short period of time, slowly woke up, to find herself chained on a table. She then felt something moving on her stomach, and when she looked, a fat, disgusting rat was on her, and she freaked out, before she moved to the left to get off of her, only to scream as next to her, was a corpse of a woman. She then tried to free herself, but the chains held her hands and her ankles, and to her dismay, more mummy priests like the two she witnessed before approached.
She had no idea where Beni was, though it was more likely he managed to escape as he was probably the one who knock her out. The Mummies knelt around her and the dead body, while Imhotep approached with the Book of the Dead, opening it with the key-box before placing it inside his robe.
Realising that the ritual was taking place, Evy screamed out for help, "Sailor Moon! O'Connell! Jonathan!" while Imhotep read the book and chanted the spell. Evy then looked to her right, as in the waters that led to the Underworld, the blue-gray liquids came up and a spirit towards the dead body which is the corpse of Anck-Su-Namun, and to Evy's horror, the spirit absorbed itself into the dead body which gaspped and shrieked. Evy let's out a terrified screamed at the sight, before looking to her right again, to find that Imhotep was now beside her, with a golden dagger as he raised it into the air.
"With your death, Anck-Su-Namun shall live." Imhotep said in Ancient Egyptain, preparing to kill Evy, "And I...SHALL BE INVINCIBLE!" and Evy lets out a scream.
"HEY, Undead guy!" came a familiar and somewhat scratchy voice that caused Imhotep to pause, and as he, Evy and Anck-Su-Namun looked up, on the top of the stairs, were Team Rocket and Jonathan! It was Meowth who spoke.
"Normally we'd be causing trouble," Jessie began, doing the Motto.
"But today is not worth the hassle." James continued.
Jonathan just looked at them, puzzled, before he glanced down at his sister, holding up the Book of Amun-Ra and cried out, cutting off the motto, "I've found it, Evy! I've found it!" causing Team Rocket to fall in exasperation animy style, realising that their motto was again ignored and interrupted.
"Shut up and get me out of this thing!" Evy cried out, as Imhotep made an approach to get the book from Jonathan.
"We need the key the open the book, you stupid woman!" Jessie yelled as she somehow remembered.
"It's inside his robes!" Evy cried out.
Realising that they had no way in getting the book open without getting killed, Jonathan and Team Rocket made a run for it to hide from Imhotep. In the meantime, Sailor Moon, Tuxedo Mask and Rick who all found swords from statues, all jumped into action and began free Evy by slicing the chains that trapped her, which the Mummy noticed. In Ancient Egytptian, he ordered his priests to kill the group, which they then tried to, but the mummies were instead being sliced and killed themselves by Sailor Moon and the other two while freeing Evy.
Rick was then dragged onto the ground and trapped by two mummies, while a third held up a heavy stone that would kill him if dropped. Sailor Moon, seeing this, quickly casted her Tiara and threw it at the Mummy's legs, slicing them off. The Mummy, screaming, fell backwards and was flattened by the stone-slab it carried due to having been sliced from it's legs. Tuxedo Mask then helped Rick and saved him from the other two mummies before they and Sailor Moon finally freed Evy.
Jonathan and Team Rocket, who were still getting away from Imhotep, discovered an inscription on the cover, and Jonathan then blurted out words on it. However, doors opened from the left, and twelve more mummies, all ancient Medjais instead of priests this time, all marched in, carrying knifes and other weapons and shields, much to Imhotep's pleasure.
"Oh boy..." Jonathan muttered scaredly.
"We're supposed to stop the Mummy, not get ourselves killed!" Meowth yelled at the englishman.
"Are you stupid!?" Jessie added.
"Do something that doesn't involve death, you idiot!" James concluded.
Even Wobbuffect was scolding Jonathan as it came out of it's Pokeball and yelled in Pokemon language.
"I'm sorry!" Jonathan yelped.
"Oh yeah." Rick and Sailor Moon both said in unison, as they, Evy and Tuxedo Mask backed away slowly. "This keeps getting better and better."
"Jonathation, do something!" Sailor Moon then shrieked.
"Me?" Jonathan asked.
"You can command them." Evy told her brother.
"You've got to be joking."
"Finish the inscription on the cover, idiot, then you can control them!" Evy instructed.
Jonathan, getting the idea, and still scared, quickly ran to hide again, with Team Rocket following him for their own safeties, while Sailor Moon and the others continued to back away from the Mummy soldiers. Just then, Anck-Su-Namun appeared behind them and tried to swipe at Evy who quickly dodged the knife that Imhotep attempted to use to kill her, and Evy ran away while trying to avoid getting killed by the undead female Mummy, and Imhotep ordered three of the army Mummies to kill Sailor Moon and two of her male companions. The Mummies jumped over the water and halted before them.
Rick gripped his sword while Tuxedo Mask pulled Sailor Moon behind him to protect her, and the older male gave out a roar to the three mummies.
"You sure that's gonna work?" Sailor Moon asked, skeptically and scaredly. The Mummies then opened their mouths and gave a roar in return...only their's was more terrifying.
Rick froze, before replying to Sailor Moon's question, "Uh-uh." shaking his head, before the trio made a run for it, as they knew, fighting against these guys will not be easy, and were in serious trouble. The Mummies gave chase and the trio fought as long as they could, before Tuxedo Mask got separated from Rick and Sailor Moon who both continued to fight one group of mummies while he took on another group.
Sailor Moon then jumped in the air and gave one soldier Mummy a side-kick on the side of the head, causing it to stumble and then fall into the dark waters, before she faced another with the sword she wielded. While she wasn't an expert on swords, only having used one briefly which was the Sword of Sealing Chibi Chibi created for her and Sailor Dark Moon to seal away Chaos in Galaxia's body, but as she fought, and facing another Mummy, she raised it in the air and unknowingly stuck the tip of it onto another mummy's head behind her, and pulled it off while slicing the one in front of her in half, she felt a familility in fighting with a sword.
She turned around to see the headless mummy, which Rick then sliced in half, and Tuxedo Mask bashed and sliced three more Mummies on his own.
"I can't figure out the last symbol!" Jonathan cried out.
"What does it look like?" Evy cried out as she continued to try and escape Anck-Su-Namun.
"It's uh...uh a bird, a stork!" her brother replied.
Evy's answer came out of struggled breathing, "A-Ahmenphus!"
"Oh yes, I see." Jonathan smiled, pleased before he remembered what was going on.
Now there was only four Mummies left, but as Sailor Moon, Rick and Tuxedo Mask met up again, they were all knocked down the stairs and onto the floor, as the Mummies got closer to kill them. Sailor Moon shook in realistion.
"Uh, Hootash im Ahmenphus!" Jonthan then cried out, just as the Medjai just halted their weapons at an inch away from Sailor Moon and the two men who had their eyes shut, before the trio slowly looked to realise that they were still alive. The Medjai then stood up and turned to Jonathan, waiting for his command, while Sailor Moon, Rick and Tuxedo Mask got away.
"Destroy them! Destroy them!" Imhotep shouted in command, but the soldiers were not listening. "I order you to destroy them!"
Just as Evy was about to get killed by Anck-Su-Namun, Jonathan knew what to do, and in his best Ancient Egyptain, he gave out his command, "Fa-Kooshka Anck-Su-Namun!(Translation: I'm pretty sure it's, "Assassinate Anck-Su-Namun!")"
"Anck-Su-Namun!" Imhotep cried out, as the Medjai carried on to their orders, which the female Mummy noticed just before she could kill Evy who then made her esacpe. Imhotep them turned to Jonathan who dropped the book and with Team Rocket who were still with them, backed up into their backs touched the wall behind them. To Imhotep's horror, Anck-Su-Namun's screams were heard as she was bashed and stabbed to death. He then turned to the terrified four and growled, "You will pay!"
"We could use some help here, Sailor Twerp!" Jessie screamed.
"Meowth, do something!" James screamed.
Despite being scared, Meowth decided to jump and then drew out his claws, shouting, "How about a little Fury-Swipes!" and actually managed to catch Imhotep off-guard and scratched him in the face twice and caused the Mummy to stumble.
"Ha! Even immortals scream out in fury-swipes attack!" Meowth said proudly. But then he was grabbed by the throat by Imhotep, much to Jessie and James' horror as they both cried out their beloved Pokemon-partner's name. Sailor Moon then threw another Moon Tiara and sliced off Imhotep's arm which dropped along with Meowth who stumbled scaredly as he got the unmoving arm off his neck, and the robe also fell off in the impact of the arm sliced off.
In rage, Imhotep approached her just as Rick and Tuxedo Mask were about to help, only for Sailor Moon to be grabbed by Imhotep's left hand and threw her into the air, as she screamed and fell onto the two men who fell onto the ground. Imhotep then reattacted his right arm back onto him, while Meowth noticed something in the robe and dug into it, before his face lit up in victory.
"Hey! Look what I found!" Meowth cheered, holding up the key, as Jonathan, Jessie and James grinned at this.
"Evy!" Jonathan called out, "Meowth's got it!"
Evy rushed over to her brother and Team Rocket with the Book of Amun-Ra she managed to pick up before instruction Sailor Moon and the other two, "Keep him busy!"
Sailor Moon, Rick and Tuxedo Mask were thrown across the room again as the trio screamed before they hit the wall and landed on the ground again, groaning. "He's too busy with us anyway." Sailor Moon replied, while Evy opened the book and as quickly as she could, read through it to find the right chanting spell. Imhotep then threw the trio into the air again and they landed on the ground hard, as the Mummy approached them.
Team Rocket noticed that Sailor Moon, Tuxedo Mask and Rick were about to get killed, and Jessie, James and Meowth pleaded to Evy, "Hurry up, already!"
"You're not helping!" Evy replied in a sing-song voice.
Imhotep then placed on foot onto Tuxedo Mask's throat, before grabbing Sailor Moon's throat in his right hand, and Rick's throat in his left hand, grinning evilly at all three of them, as their faces were turning blue. He then decided that Rick would be his first victum to kill. "Now, it's your turn." Imhotep whispered, before he opened his mouth to being to do what he did to the rival group who had died.
"I've got it!" Evy suddenly exclaimed, before chanting in Egyptain, "Kadeesh mal, Kadeesh mal." to which the first words made Imhotep stop what he was doing and he turned to face Evy, as did his captives, and to Imhotep's horror, Evy concluded, "Pared oos, Pared oos!"
A loud roaring, sound of a whip and horses whining made them all turn to look at the top of the stairs as a large blue vortex appeared, and an image of men on the back of a horse-drawn carriage caught their attention. As Imhotep dropped Sailor Moon and Rick and stepped off Tuxedo Mask, which the trio quickly rolled out of the way, everyone watched as the cariot ran right through Imhotep. Something seemed to be dragged out of him as a blue version of himself appeared, trapped and screaming, while the Mummy chased after it, but was too late as the cariot with the blue version of Imhotep disappeared into the vortex which also disappeared.
Everyone began to back away as Imhotep turned to them, and Sailor Moon picked the golden sword Rick had wielder earlier, and held it tightly in her grip.
"I thought you said it gonna kill him!" Sailor Moon cried out to Evy.
"Why is he still alive?" Rick growled.
Imhotep stomped towards Sailor Moon and gave out an angry yell, and Sailor Moon, without thinking, mindlessly and in alarm run the sword straight into his stomach, causing him to halt in shock, and Sailor Moon blinked, also shocked. Imhotep carefully rubbed the stabbed part of his body and lifted his hand up, traces of blood stained. Sailor Moon shivered as she recongised the blood, but stood frozen, realizing what she has done.
"He's mortal." Evy replied.
In her shock, Sailor Moon instantly pulled the sword out and allowed it to drop onto the ground, the blade covered in the now human Imhotep's blood, while Imhotep groaned in sudden pain, held onto his wound, walking backwards, and stepping to the blue liquid, everyone else watching, in some sympathy to watch him slowly die. His skin began to decay once more, turning him back into the gooey mummy their found earlier as he sank, the souls of the Underworld dragging him down slowly to his death.
Imhotep gave them a final look as he said something in ancient egyptain, before he finally sank completely and disappeared. Everyone was silent at this.
"Uh, what did he just say?" James asked, uneasily.
"Death... is only the beginning." Evy translated.
Sailor Moon's hands were shaking, as she had realized, even if Imhotep was evil and had been a monster, she had killed a human being. "I can't believe...what I just did." she whispered.
"It had to be done." Tuxedo Mask whispered, placing a comforting hand onto her shoulder. Sailor Moon looked at him and nodded.
"Now that we won, can we get outta now?" Jessie asked, just as the walls began to move.
Rick nodded in agreement, "Answer is yes. Time to go!" as he then led the others back to where they came from in a run, all quickly realising that the City of Hamunaptra was crumbling and falling. As they ran, Jonathan accidently fell and dropped the Book of Amun-Ra which slid and then sank into the dark waters, but he only got up and continued to run, much to Evy's dismay.
"You've lost the book!" She shrieked.
"Screw the book! Our lives comes first!" Sailor Moon shouted out, as she and Rick dragged her with them, and caught up with Jonathan and Team Rocket, racing through the tunnels which sand fell onto them, but they just continued to run and run, making it back into the treasure chamber, which Jonathan noticed again, and once again, his love for treasure kicked in.
"Oh, could we just-"
"NO!" Team Rocket shrieked as they dragged him back to catch up with the others. Just before the door which was only six feet began to get lower, Sailor Moon and her group dove in and made it on the other side, though the same wasn't for Beni who had snuck back in to get more treasure earlier, and that he accidently switched on the destruction switch. Rick, seeing his former friend, tried to save him, but it was too late, as the doors closed, leaving Beni trapped on the other side.
"Good-bye, Beni." Rick muttered, before he got up and raced out with the others.
Finally, the group made it back out but continued to run as the pillers continued to fall all around them, and they all raced towards the entrance, and the ground gave away behind them. Some of the Camels joined them in the hurry, and finally, once at the safe distance, Sailor Moon, Tuxedo Mask, Rick, Evy, Jonathan, and Team Rocket turned around to watch the City of the Dead sink into the sands and in the cloud of dust.
It was gone, and now just another sand dune. There was silence, and Sailor Moon's thoughts were on the sacrifices of-
Just then something touched Jonathan's shoulder and he screamed in fright, causing everyone to turn around in fright, only to have relieved expressions, as Ardeth was on his camel, and Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Venus stood around him, and the four teens laughed at the sight.
"You guys are alright!" Sailor Moon cried out happily, as she ran up to her four guardians and threw her arms around them into a group hug, and they hugged her back.
Sailor Venus then said, "Told you we'd be okay. We're relieved that you and the others are okay too, Sailor Moon."
"It wasn't easy, but we did it." Sailor Moon replied, before turning to Ardeth and added, "Thanks for your help. We couldn't have done it with you."
"I should thank you and your people, Princess." Ardeth replied with a smile of his own. "You have earned the respect, and gratitude, of me and my people."
"Yes, well, it was nothing." Jonathan replied first.
Sailor Moon nodded and added, "It's okay, and you can just call me Sailor Moon."
The Medjai nodded, "Very well, Sailor Moon. May Allah smile upon you always." he gave them some kind of salute, and James and Jonathan both tried to copy it.
"And...yourself." Jonathan replied.
Ardeth then clicked his tongue and rode away on the camel back to his people, as the group waved him a goodbye.
"I hope we see you again someday without any mummies to worry about!" Sailor Moon called out.
"Stay out of trouble." Rick added.
"Well, now that it's settled, let's get back to America. I'm certain those teenaged twerps are behind." Jessie muttered to her two companions who nodded in agreement and all got onto their camels, and slowly rode off, Sailor Moon and the others watching them leave, as Team Rocket still had no idea of the scouts' real idenities.
"You'd better not give Serena and her friends anymore trouble!" Sailor Moon shouted at them.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever you stay, Sailor Twerp." Jessie called back, before she, James and Meowth all said in unison, "Looks like Team Rocket's riding off again!"
The Sailor Scouts all sighed in annoyance, with Sailor Jupiter grumbling, "Still have to worry about those three even when we get back to America."
"I'll say." Sailor Venus sighed.
"At least they're the least of our worries." Sailor Mercury stated.
"Yeah." Sailor Mars agreed.
Jonathan in the meantime, turned back to the now gone city, and gave a sad chuckle, "Well, I guess we go home empty handed...again."
"I wouldn't say that." Sailor Moon and Rick both said in unison. With Sailor Moon, she and Tuxedo Mask were kissing, and a second later, Rick and Evy were kissing as well. The rest of the Sailor Scouts smiled at the scene of two couples in romance.
Jonathan on the other hand, just rolled his eyes up, and grumbled, "Oh, please!" turning away from the romantic scene and walked over to a camel. "How 'bout you, darling?" he pulled the camel's face down and asked, "Would you like a little kissy wissy?" only for the camel to grunt in front of him and he waved his hand at the terrible stench. "Whoo! Oh."
Everyone else smiled, and got onto their camels, with the Sailor Scout and Tuxedo Masks turning back to normal and as they rode away into the sun, unknown to anyone, the camel that Rick and Evy rode on together was the one Beni get to escape on and it carried a bag full of some of the treasure he stole.
Either way, things turned out well for the group.
Five days later...
After spending another few days in Cairo, Serena and her friends said goodbye to Rick, Evy and Jonathan, before heading towards the Airport where the planes to different parts of America would take off. Serena and her four guardians were taking the plane back to Calfornia, while Darien was taking the plane back to New York to continue his studies.
Serena and Darien were having a moment together, as they both knew, they wouldn't see each other again for a while. Serena had tears sliding down her cheeks.
"You will let me know when you get there safely, right?" Serena sniffled.
"Don't worry, I will." Darien replied. He leaned foward and gave Serena a goodbye kiss, which she returned.
"Serena!" Raye called. "Come on! Let's go before we miss the plane!"
Parting from the kiss, Serena nodding, giving Darien a hug, before letting go, and then ran up to her friends, and after they and Darien waved a goodbye, they parted ways to get onto their planes, and while Serena, Amy, Raye, Lita and Mina were on the plane back to their relatives, Darien was on the plane back to University.
As the plane flew into the air, Serena then mentally grumbled, and thought, 'I didn't find the Relic Book here either.' before shrugging and smiled. 'Oh well. I'll still look in America.'
With a smile on her face, Serena knew, she will complete her secret mission, and she also knew, she would see her true love again someday.
