Chapter 4: The Portal and Set
The group got back to the museum and found a green whirl hole on the floor outside of the mummy exhibit.
"Well I'm guessing this can't be good" Luxor said.
"Well usually the unholy sounds of condemned souls are a really bad sign" Cleo said.
"This is it the gate between the Underworld and the Overworld." "That's how those jackals got here" Hogarth said "and if they are able to get through then Set will be able to get through as well."
Tut walked over to a painting of Osiris and Set and began to tell the ancient story of the two.
"Thousands of years ago he ambushed his own brother Osiris tossed him into the Nile and dismembered his body into tiny pieces."
"I remember my teacher told me this story when I went to school" Dexter said.
"Yep Set is a major bad guy and now he wants Tut" Cleo said. "Well I'm sure you can handle him sire you're pharaoh you will protect us all won't you."
"Ehhh No" Tut said nervously.
"Well leave him alone Luxor maybe he's not the great pharaoh that everyone thought he was" Hogarth said.
"Now hold on to your shirts" Tut said angrily "as long as I hold the Scepter of Was I rule the world and I decree that Set will stay in the pits of the Underworld."
"So says the pharaoh" Luxor said.
A loud howling sound came from the opening to the Underworld as it got bigger.
"Well there is only one thing to do" Tut said "close the gate" Luxor.
"Me", Luxor asked nervously.
As the howling sound got louder the group and five ran back into the exhibit to try and hide.
"Tutankensetamun Set yelled from the portal. The Scepter of Was shall finally be mine." "Hemhety rise from the Underworld and cast thou evil into the Overworld", Set yelled.
At this a giant zombie like demon emerged from the portal terrifying the group.
Khesef and Sekham arrived shortly afterward. "
Hemhety are you ready to cause some destruction" Khesef asked.
"Wait a minute I'm already dead what do I have to worry" about Tut said.
"Burning in the Underworld for all eternity" Set responded.
"Oh yeah that sounds bad well anyway AAAHH!"
"Now we must find that puny pharaoh" Khesef said. "Okay guys the best thing we can do is try to fight off these demons" Hogarth said.
"Good idea Hogarth, Tut you're the guy who fought in wars commanded armies and did everything so this is all up to you" Cleo said "it's time to kick some demon butt and give them a full smack down."
"Uh Cleo I think the pharaoh chickened out on us" Dexter said.
They found that Tut was now lying in his coffin having given up. "I don't get this", Hogarth said, "Everything that has been told about you has said that you were a warrior and a hero who saved the lives of many people."
"Well I had good press Tut said as he was about to close the coffin.
"Oh you know that's it mummy boy" Dexter said "we've had it with you if you're not gonna save the world then we are."
Hemhety came close to Tut's coffin and was about to grab him but Tut smacked him on the head with the scepter. Khesef and Sekham charged at Tut as he dodged the attack from Hemhety.
"Uh oh I am really dead now." "Tut, you have to move out of the way of their attacks" Hogarth said as he grabbed Tut's arm and pulled him out of the way.
They ran into the dinosaur exhibit where Tut's bandages got caught on one of the dinosaur skeletons. Tut believing that he had been caught whimpered "don't kill me."
"Relax Tutenstein he's deader than you are" Dexter said.
"Hey guys this dinosaur fossil gives me and idea" Hogarth said. As the demons made their way into the fossil room Cleo grabbed a piece of the fossil which caused it tip crash into pieces and fall on top of the demons. "Smack down" Cleo said.
The group ran over to the portal which was fully open. Tut backed away in fear. Hogarth walked over to Tut and took the scepter from him. "Excuse me Tutenstein I need to borrow this for a minute."
"But the Scepter of Was is mine Luxor, Dexter, Cleo."
"Forgive us sire but we must help Hogarth close the gate, the fate of the world is a stake."
Tutenstein sighed sadly. "What kind of pharaoh am I? I am less than a pharaoh even my friends think so." Hogarth lifted the scepter and muttered an incantation that he thought could possibly close the gate but it wouldn't work.
"Geez I should have read the instructions on this damn thing" Hogarth said.
Set rose from the portal and saw Hogarth with the scepter. "Child give the scepter to me, let my reign begin." "Never you don't deserve to rule the world you bastard" Hogarth yelled.
"No Hogarth, give me the scepter and stand back this is my job."
Hogarth handed Tut and scepter and stood back. Set rose further out of the pit standing triumphantly. "Behold the new ruler of the world."
"Never, Set you will never be pharaoh of this world" Tut said.
The demons came out of the fossil room and were about to jump onto Tut.
"Osiris, Isis, Horus tonight the spell is cast send Set and the demons back to the Underworld, feel the power of the Scepter of Was the gate shall be closed."
Tut held the scepter up high and released its power and with that Set and the demons were defeated.
"NOOOOO"
"We shall meet again Tutankensetamun and when that time comes I will rein triumphant" Set yelled as he was pulled back into the Underworld.
Cleo, Hogarth, Dexter, and Luxor stood behind a pillar and saw the whole thing as the portal finally closed with Set defeated. "Tut you did it" Cleo said you really did it.
"Cool" they all said. But Tut trying to act royal responded "I mean I have prevailed over evil and have saved the world from a great evil."
"You're the man Tut, I mean you're the boy, the mummy, the, I'll never get that right" Hogarth said and he shared a high five with Tut who's arm fell off.
"Oops sorry about that" Hogarth said.
"Don't worry about it that happens all the time."
"Okay guys" Dexter said "we all have one more thing to do" as they looked at the mess that had been made around the museum.
