Chapter 25: Off into the Deserts and into the streets.
For centuries the great Chapa'ai of Heliopolis has been the pinnacle of wonder throughout the ages. Hidden safely within the temple of Heliopolis it is guarded by the great sorcerer Imhotep and the secrets that surround the gate also kept safe from those around him.
While in meditation Imhotep sudden sensed something from the ring. Getting up from his stance he hurried down towards the room where the ring was kept.
His face lit up in awe as the great marks on the ring finally lit up and a great pool of light emerged from the ring.
And out came a metal bird with a woman on his back as he fell to the ground. Smoke coming from his rear end.
"LASERBEAK!" the woman screamed in a language not like his own.
Walking up to her he saw that she was busy trying to help the metal bird up.
"It is alright Katy it is nothing but minor damage," the bird spoke between pants.
"Perhaps I can be of some assistance?" Imhotep said.

Katy spun her head at the sound of someone speaking in another language. Turning her head she was surprised to see a rather old monkey in strange clothes.
Am I on the planet of the Apes? She said
No I don't think so, Icarus said and sent a shock through her system alerting her to the fact that she is till alive.
I can't understand what he is saying! Katy replied
I do he is speaking a dialect of Egyptian which I can understand and is simply asking if you are alright Icarus replied
Well how do I reply? Katy asked
Let me translateIcarus stated.
Icarus took over and looked at the stranger.
"Are you alright?" he asked
"I am fine thank you," Icarus replied
"I sense something strange about you," he said and placed a hand over Katy's body and ran it behind her neck.
"I see," he said
"What?" Icarus stated nervously
"You are a Goa'uld one of the false gods who have taken the names of our lords to use for your own whims," he said
"I am a Tar'ak an outcast of my people I am no god," Icarus replied
"I see then Tar'ak what brings you to our world?" he asked
"I don't know," Icarus replied as he turned to Laserbeak who stood up his rear still smoking from the blast and left a nasty hole on his rear regions.
"Laserbeak how is the damage?" Icarus asked switching to English.
"My rear thrusters are down and my antigravity generator is highly damaged but I am still functional if that is what you mean," he said
"I can repair you if you want?" asked Icarus
"Your friend needs some aid?" said the stranger
"He was badly damaged in a raiders skirmish and is in need of repairs," Icarus replied
"I think I know someone who can help but it would take some time before she can make it here," the stranger said
"In the meantime why don't you join me for a meal I am sure your host is hungry after all Tar'ak and you must be in need of some nourishment yourself," he said walking away.
"Thank you sir," Icarus stated
"Imhotep my name is Imhotep,"

Imhotep led them through the corridors of the Sun Shrine Temple where resides. In the main room there was a rather large statue of a sphinx coming out of the ground with some sort of symbolic form above it. Laserbeak followed at a slower pace.
"I will contact the one who can help you using this device," he said looking at the sphinx.
Holding up the device the creature roared and a beam of light came out showing a group of rodents that were translucent as if a message was being said.
"Imhotep? What a pleasant surprise we have not heard from you in many years," said the largest of the rodents obviously the leader.
"I have a need for your assistance my friends," he said and proceeded to explain the situation to them.
"Please have the creature step up to the platform so we can see him," the rodent replied
Icarus translated for Laserbeak as he had gotten onto the platform and faced the sphinx.
"A Cybertronian? There? I have not seen there kind for such a long time that I feared the war has whipped them out," the rodent creature said
"As you can see he is in desperate need of assistance," said Imhotep
"We can see what we can do about that damage there and we have the equipment here on our ship he needs to be transported to us immediately!" the largest said.
"Very well then do what you will to repair him" said Imhotep as Laserbeak disappeared.
"Will he be alright?" Katy asked
Imhotep turned his head in confusion realizing that this must be the host speaking and held up a hand.
"I suggest that you place that part of your mind that understands our language into hers Goa'uld" Imhotep said
Katy was stunned by a massive headache that came to her and nearly passed out from it when a pair of hands gently held her up.
"Easy there my friend," someone said in what she thought was her native language.
I put the language of the Goa'uld which includes Ancient Egyptian, Latin, Persian and Babylonian into your language cortex of your brain, Icarus stated.
"Gee thanks," she mumbled.
"You had such a stumble that I was afraid that you would have died," the man said.
"Um I did not get your name?" Katy asked
"I am Imhotep and you are at the Sun Shrine Temple in Heliopolis," he said with a gentle smile.
"Thanks," Katy said
"You have been through a lot and could use some rest and some food seeing as you are quite a bit thin there," he said pointing to the rags that Katy wore.
"Thanks," she said and he led the way towards one of the rooms.
"My apprentice should return to us in a few days from an errand so make yourself at home for a bit um?" he asked
"Katy," was the reply
"Good night Katy," he said
SOMETIME LATER
It took a few days but Sphinx managed to get home a bit wet but home. The Demi-God shook himself dry as he entered the Sun Shrine Temple and into the hold where his master Imhotep was waiting for him.
"Ah Sphinx you have returned," he said
Bowing to his Master in respect Sphinx walked up, "I have grave news master," he said
"I have already heard my apprentice and I believe dire needs are against us. And also we have guests here at our temple so don't be surprised when our guests walk around the halls." Imhotep was rather smiling at this point.
"Guests?" Sphinx asked
"Yes they are shall I say two minds in one body. They are Tar'ak a type of Goa'uld banished from the rest of their kind by the simple fact that the symbiote can't control the host. They are cleaning the storage areas at this moment. Their third friend is with the Precursors right now undergoing extensive repairs so they are a bit worried for his wellbeing." Imhotep said
"So what are we going to do right now master?" Sphinx asked
"They in a way can help you on your quest but we warned they don't know our ways and customs the symbiote might but the host does not so be weary of her ignorance," Imhotep said.
Nodding Sphinx made his way towards the bathing areas of the temple to clean himself of the grime, dirt and salt of his travels.
Imhotep watched him go well aware of the dangers happening and turned towards a creature in the shadows. Bas-Ket stood to the side and nodded before vanishing.
"Off into the Deserts and into the streets," Imhotep said.
TBC
Incase anyone was wondering the last few chapters were short in crossovers seeing as I had not watched Zoids in a long time and Transformers movie. But I am playing Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy again after quite a while. I also played the Jak series again hence is the appearance of the Precursors. If anyone has any complaints about me changing plot lines a bit to suit this one then don't say nothing because I don't want to hear it. However if anyone has any suggestions of further crossovers please drop me a review line.
