Uncle Larry grabbed onto my arm and we started leading Kahmunrah and his guards towards this "cube". I was also curious as to what this was. I leaned up to my Uncle's height and asked, "So, I'm guessing this isn't the All Spark from Transformers?" I saw him roll his eyes at me and he then replied, "No. It isn't really a cube at all. You'll see what I mean though when I open it." I nodded and just continued to follow him.
We finally reached this giant crate with a tarp over it. I'm going to make a guess and say this is the "cube" then. Kahmunrah and his guards also stopped and once they looked at it Kahmunrah said, or more or less commanded, "Open it!" Uncle Larry then opened one side of the crate and told me to do the other side. Once I did though a giant blob shot out of the crate and shattered it. I stepped back and looked up to see what it was. It was a giant squid, and boy was it not happy.
I then heard Uncle Larry yell, "Becca! The Tablet!" I saw it falling and just barely had enough time to dive and catch it. But ow, was that going to leave a bruise. I then found Uncle Larry and we started running. We swerved through each of the aisles and as we did so more crates were being opened. But not because of us. No, it might have been because of the Egyptian guards throwing spears at us or the giant squid trying to crush us!
We kept running and finally we heard someone yelling and a bugle blast. We turned to see General George A. Custer riding on Indiana Jones' motorcycle towards us. He stopped right in front of us and then started to move yelling at Uncle Larry, "Take the wheel and put the lady there behind ya. This is gonna be one wild ride!"
We did as we were told and I clung onto my Uncle for dear life. I had no idea if he knew how to drive a motorcycle or if he could steer one for that fact! I watched as he fiddled with the ignition trying to figure out how to work it. We were wasting way too much time. I finally just said, "Uncle Larry I know how to do this let me!" He nodded and got behind me and I started the motorcycle with no problem. I revved the engine a couple times and then took off. I then heard Custer moving around a little next to us and he said, "Ok we're gonna give them there guards a run for their money. Because, General George Armstrong Custer, at your service." We continued riding around until we were about to hit some Egyptian guards. I started to slow down but Custer nudged me saying, "Keep goin! I'm gonna ram 'em!" I rolled my eyes but kept going. Custer lowered the flag he was carrying and with me going straight through them we successfully got through all the guards. He then stood up to celebrate, but that wasn't the best decision.
As he did this we went towards a lower pole and he didn't quite make it under with us.
He got knocked onto the ground and I was about to turn back around for him when I heard him yell, "I'm good! Keep goin!" I laughed a little but kept on going.
We were turning around a corner when I had to brake to a sudden stop. There in front of me stood Amelia Earhart. One of THE greatest pilots ever! I always looked up to her when I was little so I guess you could call me a fan. She looked down at me and Uncle Larry and asked, "What seems to be the problem here Ace?"
Uncle Larry got off the motorcycle and tried to reason with her, but just as he did so a spear hit the front wheel of the motorcycle and it ran out of air. Well, there goes our ride! Amelia then walked over and stood in front of a board with her hands on her hips and said, "I live for danger Mr. Daley. I love adventure and danger!" Right as she finished, about 6 spears came shooting at her and outlined where she had been standing. Uncle Larry grabbed me and then marched up to her and said, "What about spears?! Huh?" He then grabbed her and we ran to the door to the stairs out of the archives. We were about to leave her down here when she grabbed onto my Uncle's sleeve and said, "Mr. Daley I smell adventure and damn it! I want in!"
Uncle Larry finally gave in and said, "Ok come on then! They're not that far behind." We then ran up the stairs and found ourselves outside the Smithsonian castle. We ran around to the other side to escape the guards. We saw that they thought we ran off to another museum and they headed off towards Air and Space.
We, however, had headed around the castle and were now staring inside seeing what old Kahmunrah was up to. What we saw though kind of startled me.
When we looked inside we saw that Kahmunrah had gathered some more help besides his guards. He now has:
Ivan the Terrible and his guards, which I believe are called the Streltzie.
Napoleon Bonaparte and his French soldiers.
And last but not least, Al Capone, but in his younger years. He had about 10 mobsters behind him and they were all loaded with guns. Boy would I not want to run into him.
I saw Kahmunrah talk to them and then he sent them off. Probably to locate us and the tablet. Oh, that is not good seeing as we're right behind the castle!
I tugged on Uncle Larry's sleeve and said, "Uhhh, you know they're coming out right now and they're looking for us!!!!" His eyes widened and he grabbed both me and Amelia and said, "Come on, we've got to move."
We then walked, or more or less ran, to the art museum. Hopefully they won't find us here. But that was wishful thinking because I heard someone yelling behind us in a foreign language. I turned around and saw the Egyptian guards heading straight towards us. I grabbed my uncle and Amelia and ran into one of the rooms. Sadly there was no other way out of the room besides the entrance we came in. And that was currently being obstructed by Egyptian guards. I threw the tablet to Uncle Larry and he threw it into the Gothic Farmer painting and grabbed the pitch fork from him. He started twirling it around and Amelia grabbed it from him saying she went spear hunting in Africa.
She then threw the spear at the Egyptian guards which they caught with ease. She then said something about the tribe she went hunting with had a lot slower reflexes.
I grabbed the tablet out of the Gothic painting and Uncle Larry then grabbed me and threw me over his shoulder and grabbed Amelia's arm and we went in the painting of the 1940's. When we got off the ground I saw that we were in the middle of Time Square and there was a huge celebration going on!
Uncle Larry broke me out of my moment though by grabbing onto my arm and pulling me along with him and Amelia. I then heard his phone ringing. How is it working?! We're in the 40's! I then heard him say, "Hey Nick, ya we're way past the stairs buddy." I then was waltzed off by a very handsome sailor.
He leaned down and said, "Hey doll I haven't seen you around, what's your name?" I blushed a little and said, "Rebecca Daley and you?" He tipped his hat and said, "Joey Motorola at your service." Hmm, that name seems familiar somehow. I then looked down at my phone and saw it was made by Motorola. That's where I know the name from! Just as I was about to ask him if he knew anything about phones I was then grabbed by the shoulder and spun around to see Uncle Larry running from the Egyptian guards. I then realized that I should probably get going too. I was grabbed by the waist though by Joey and he said, "Hey where you guys goin? The war's over!" Uncle Larry said, "I'm sorry I'm just tryin to run from those guys back there they're givin' me grief for bein from Brooklyn!" Joey's mouth dropped and he said, "Don't worry we'll take care of them! Hey boys! These guys are given my buddy here a hard time cause's he from Brooklyn!" Uncle Larry was then whisked away by some other people and I was left standing under an awning in the middle of Time's Square. Joey came back and said, "Hey Mister! Ya dropped your…What the hell is this thing?!" He was holding Uncle Larry's blackberry. I tugged on his sleeve and said, "Okay question. Where can I get some help around here? Because those guys are after me too and I really don't want to run into them!" He put an arm around my shoulders and laughed. He looked down at me and said, "Doll I ain't gonna let them get to you." Hmm, this could prove to be pretty interesting, plus I always wanted to be in the 1940's!
What I didn't know was that Uncle Larry and Amelia when they got out of the painting forgot to turn it around, and a certain mobster may have seen me with the tablet in the background.
