Chapter Twenty One-Here Comes the Cavalry
September 11th, 2024

Early the next morning, long before the sun rose on Tracy Island, found Brains and Fermat double checking the adjustments to the ultra lights while John, Evelyn, and Tin-Tin packed up supplies and divided them into five backpacks that each of them could carry with them. The supplies consisted of clothing for those captured to change into, a large array of medical supplies, and many bottles of water. They did not have to worry about food, for Kaphiri assured them that the Medjai would be able to provide meals to them. Though Onaha had given them a few muffins and granola bars to pack.

Evelyn sighed as she zipped up her backpack, which contained a change of clothes for Gordon along with the Book of Amun Ra. As she swung the bag onto her shoulder, she reached over and rubbed Nefertiti where she lied on Evelyn's pillow. "See ya in a few days, Nefi," she murmured.

She smiled as Nefertiti meowed up at her before turning and walking out of her room, closing her door softly behind her. Evelyn walked swiftly down the hall towards her father's office. When she entered, she was surprised to see Brains and Fermat talking quietly in front of the command desk. Kaphiri stood up from where he had been sitting on the couch and stood behind her. "Modifications all done?" she asked as she stopped beside them.

Brains nodded. "And all l-l-l-packed into Tracy One," he responded, readjusting his glasses.

"Great," Evelyn smiled, glancing towards the door as John entered the room. "Then we should be all set to go once everyone else is ready."

"What?" John asked as he came to stand beside his sister.

Evelyn chuckled, shaking her head. "Nothing."

"I'll be fine mom."

All those in the room turned towards the door as Tin-Tin entered with her parents on either side of her. Onaha had an arm around her daughter's shoulders as they walked into the room. The family stopped a few feet away from the desk and Onaha hugged her daughter tightly. After a few moments Onaha released her and Tin-Tin turned to hug her father.

"Now, are you sure you have everything?" Onaha asked as Kyrano released their daughter.

Tin-Tin nodded, smiling at her mother as she pulled up the pack slung over her shoulder. "Positive."

"Good luck Tin-Tin," Kyrano stated, setting a hand on his daughter's shoulder as he smiled at her.

The sound of feet clinking against the floor outside the room announced the arrival of Lady Penelope garbed in her usual pink with Parker a few steps behind her, carrying a pack that was also pink. As the two came to a stop a few feet away from the Belagant family, Parker handed the pack to Lady Penelope, who then slung it over her shoulder. "Thank you Parker."

"Good luck milady," he responded.

"Well," Evelyn began, glancing around at all those in the room that were going. "We should go now, that way we can get a few hours in before the sun sets."

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... …

"I feel like I've fallen into an Indiana Jones movie," Gordon stated as he and all those captured continued to walk in the hot afternoon sun, as always surrounded by guards on camels. They had been captured four days ago and so far there had been no sign of the Medjai outside the night they had been captured.

"And I'm guessing you're Indy?" Alan asked as the two of them walked side by side. Gordon looked over at his younger brother with an expression that said 'duh?'

"Oh, and what character am I?" Scott asked from where he walked a few feet behind Gordon and Alan.

Gordon glanced over at Alan, his face thoughtful for a few moments, before glancing over his shoulder at Scott. "Marion," he stated casually, his green eyes sparkling in amusement.

Beside him Alan let out a snort of laughter and glanced back to see Virgil trying to keep a straight face beside a scowling Scott. Behind them, Jeff chuckled at the interaction between his sons, glad that even though they were captured, in the middle of nowhere and beginning to suffer from exhaustion, Gordon was still able to lighten the mood.

The smiles on their faces disappeared when a commotion was heard behind them. One of the guards riding in the rear of the group was riding towards the front of the party, a man garbed in all black being pulled behind his running camel. The party stopped and the Tracy boys gathered together and watched as the rider stopped before the three heads of the party.

"My lord!" the rider greeted as he slid off his camel. He then pulled on the robe that bound the man's hands and he stumbled forward, landing on his knees beside the rider. "A scout. I discovered him roughly an hour's distance behind us."

Yuja smiled towards the rider as she slid off his camel, Saadia and the Hood doing the same. "Good work," he stated as he walked to stand before the kneeling man in black. "So, you are a scout for the Medjai? Tell me, where is the party you are scouting for?"

The Medjai remained silent, his expression natural as he stared into the air before him, ignoring Yuja. He then looked over at the Hood. As Yuja stepped away from the Medjai, the Hood stepped forward, his pupils turning to slits and his eye's blood red. The Medjai stiffened and turned to look at him, his features fighting to remain natural. "No amount of torture will make me tell you," he stammered out, his voice lined with pain.

Yuja growled as the Hood stepped away from the Medjai, his eyes going back to their normal state. Both men then looked to Saadia. "Get rid of him. Let his corpse be a marker to those who follow," Yuja instructed, pulling himself back up onto his camel.

"My pleasure," Saadia smirked, stepping towards the man as she pulled the knife out of her belt. The Medjai watched her, his expression still natural as she stepped forward. He let out a soft grunt as she grabbed a fist full of his hair and held his head back, before slowly drawing the knife across his throat.

She grinned as blood flowed over her hand and watched as the life faded from the man's eyes, relishing in the feeling of pleasure and power that filled her after such an act. She then release his head and stepped back, allowing to corpse to fall face first into the sand. Saadia then glanced towards where the Tracy's stood with Kyleigh and Narmer and simply smirked towards them before heading back to her own camel.

During the short interrogation of the Medjai, Narmer had translated all that was said into English for those around him to understand. Though he did not have to translate what Saadia had said, her pleasure in taking the man's life was obvious even with the few yards distance between them.

"Well," Narmer began, those around him turning their pale faces to look at him. "At least one good thing came of this."

"And that would be?" Alan inquired, slightly nauseous from the scene they had just witnessed.

"We now know that someone is following us," Jeff stated softly as the guards began to shout for them to move. He glanced over at his sons to see them smiling around at each other as they once more began to move forward and could not help the grin that formed on his face.

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... …

It was early afternoon when Tracy One landed at Cairo International Airport, giving them several hours of light to fly. The ultra lights were quickly unloaded before locking up Tracy One in one of the private hangers at the airport.

"This is where I take my leave of you," Kaphiri stated as the last ultra light was set up for operation. "I must meet up with my brethren."

Evelyn, who had been pulling on her flight suit finished zipping it up before smiling towards the Medjai. "Then I guess we'll see you soon."

"That you will," he replied before turning and heading out of the hanger with calls of farewell following him out of the large steel doors. Evelyn then went back to her own ultra light that she had been given for her birthday and double check that the pack was secure on the seat behind her.

The small craft was vastly different from the others, seeing as they were still mostly stock in appearance in contrast to her down. The body of the craft was done in a bright blue, the same shade as her flight suit and the wings were customized to look like a bird. But unlike the plane in her favorite movie, this one was what an legendary Thunderbird looked like and was done in many shades of blue and green.

As she pulled on her goggles and let them dangle around her neck, John came up beside her, already dressed in his own gray flight suit. "I've called air traffic control and told them we are just about to take off," he explained, setting a hand on her shoulder as he smiled at her. "Ready to get our family back?"

"Most defiantly," she grinned. He gently squeezed her shoulder before heading towards his own ultra light a few feet away.

"Hey Evie!" Tin-Tin called from where she stood beside her own craft several yards away from Evelyn stood. "We ready?"

"Yeah!" the elder girl responded, her green eyes then transferring from the Malaysian girl to the young scientist among them. "Fermat!" she yelled. He turned around and the sound of his name and looked towards her. "Hit the switch on the gas lines for yourself and Tin-Tin! I'll get Lady Penelope and John."

"FAB!" he called in response before walking around to the back of his craft to do as Evelyn instructed. Evelyn then quickly walked over to the rear of John's craft and reached up, hitting the switch just behind the small motor, that would allow gas to the engine. With a smile towards John as he pulled on his goggles, she headed to where Lady Penelope's craft stood just beyond his and repeated the process, smiling towards the blond as she pulled on her pink helmet.

Once this was she returned to her own and flipped the switched before walking back towards the front. She then pulled on her goggles to where they sat comfortable before grabbing her helmet off the back seat and pulling it onto her head. As she sat down in the pilot's seat, she secured the fastenings below her chin.

On the console in front of her, instead of a jack for a two way radio, a small monitor similar to the one Jeff had given her to take to Amarna was fastened to the console. She pushed the first small button on its face and watched as it flared to life. The screen was divided into six. One showed an image of herself and the others began to flare to life as each pilot activated their own monitor.

"Testing, testing. Everybody hear me?" she asked once all the small squares on the screen were filled.

"Loud and clear Evelyn," Lady Penelope responded with a smile, her voice being heard clearly through the headphones attached to her helmet.

"Same here," John added.

Tin-Tin smiled. "And here."

"Here as well," Fermat replied.

"Fermat, can you contact base for me and tell them we are taking off?" she asked, glancing out towards the clear outside air before her. "I'm going to head up and circle around. John, you come up after me and Tin-Tin, you follow him. Lady Penelope, once Tin's in the air, head up yourself and Fermat can bring up the rear. Once we are all up in the air, I'll start leading us south. Sound good?"

Each of the responded that they understood and as Fermat's image disappeared as he called his father, Evelyn reached forward and hit the switch on the console. The engine flared to life behind her, a shudder going through the entire craft before it slowly began to move forward. Inserting her hands into the gloves attached to the bar, Evelyn gilded the plane as it picked up speed, pushing the small craft out of the hanger and onto the private runway before it.

Once she was several yards from the hanger, she pushed forward on the bar and a grin blossomed on her face as the craft lifted into the air. Once she was at an good altitude, she pushed the bar to the right and leaned left, causing the craft to turn left as she began to circle the area around the hanger. She glanced towards the runway and watched as John's plane lifted off the ground and soon after began to circle behind her.

Not long after, she watched as Tin-Tin's craft lifted into the air and began to follow behind John as they flew in a circle around the area. A few moments later, Lady Penelope's followed suit. As Evelyn glanced down to watch as Fermat's craft emerged from the hanger, she reached forward and pushed the third button on the screen before her.

The image of herself was replaced with a map that enlarge and pushed the images of the other pilots to the side of the screen. On the map were two bright red dots, one stable and the other blinking. The stable dot marked Amarna while the flashing one indicated their own position above the Cairo airport.

"For right now, we are going to head South and then turn West towards Amarna once we get closer," she explained as she adjusted the bar to head in the direction that she wanted and also pushed out on it slightly, causing her to slowly ascend. "Also push out slightly on the bar, we need to gain some altitude if we want to be unnoticed."

Their replies went unheard to Evelyn, whose eyes were focused on the horizon before her. Her family was somewhere out there, because of a man that wanted revenge on the family and an creature that thought her a reincarnation. Please mom, keep them safe until we get there. Saadia is dangerous, they all are. Please keep them safe until I can get there and read the incantation from the Book of Amun Ra and send Yuja straight back to hell.

I'm glad that I have John everyone else with me to keep me sane, but I need the others too. I-I need Scott to hug me when I'm scared ,and Virgil to make sure I don't hyperventilate, and Alan to just be well, Alan. And I need Gordy because he's my other half, my partner in crime. We're a package deal. Can't have one without the other. We're one of those 'two peas in a pod' deals and without him I feel like part of myself is missing. But most of all, I need dad.
