Suddenly a dusty breeze blows into the chamber as O'Connell moves Evelyn behind him, the whole group starts to slowly back away from the mummy pieces. The floor where they were just standing suddenly started to move. Two more mummies slowly dig their way up out of the floor. More mummies start coming out of the walls and crawling out of the piles of gold. The group looks in horror as they watch all of these mummies resurface. Evie was holding herself back from screaming. This was going to give her some serious nightmares!. O'Connell raised his elephant gun ready to shoot his way through the hoard of mummies but was stopped by Ardeth Bay, putting a hand on Rick's shoulder. "May I?" he said in a polite tone and Rick looked at him. "Uh..yeah yeah sure go ahead," he said and moved back for him.

Ardeth pulled out his larger automatic gun and Evy gasped "oh- I think by now we learned that bullets won't kill these creatures!" she said and Rick shrugged. "But it can slow them the hell down" he replied and Evie covered her ears as Ardeth fired at the crowd of mummies. Even though the bullets slowed them down, they were still coming. Rick started to help out by shooting as well and the sheer force of the elephant gun tore the mummies up and was in pieces on the ground. Giving them time to escape. Stepping over the remains and hauling ass down the passageway. The bits of mummies crawling after them.

Back at the ritual, Rosie had put up a fight with Imhotep, earning her a slip lip and a gash on her cheek. The asshole had knocked her out after he couldn't get her under control. The young cryptographer woke up with her hands bound to the sacrificial altar and groaned. Her head felt like it was split in two. She looked up to see Imhotep reading from the book and a bunch of his priests in a meditative state, bowing continuously. She tugged on the chains hard and squirmed. "It is no use...why fight the inevitable" Imhotep said to her, making her stop and look at him. She started to feel funny, that funny feeling she would get before passing out and waking up in a new place and having no memory of getting there. "Fuckin shit-" she said before she slumped. Her eyes rolled back as Imhotep read from the book more. Chanting hard and loud.

Ardeth shot at the mummies more as the group tried to make it down the long passageways of Hamunaptra. His machine gun then clicked empty. "I'm out!" he said as he threw it down. Rick still had a bit of ammo left as he shot at them as well. The mummies kept coming until another gun was pulled and shot the mummies. Most of them fall to the ground. Evie had used the pistol that Rick had given her and smiled proudly. "Good job let's go!" Rick said and took her hand, pulling her away and into the small room that connected to the passageway. In it stood an eroded statue of Khonsu, the god of the moon. "There it is!" Jonathan yelled and they ran to the statue. "Oh, it's magnificent!" Evie said and touched the foot of the statue. The sudden sound of mummies made the group snap their heads toward the direction of the door they came from. "They're coming!" Evie yelled and Rick quickly grabbed a dynamite stick from his nearly empty gunny sack. "Ah allow me," Ardeth said before Rick could strick the match. He handed it to ardeth and the Madjai quickly struck the match on Rick's stubbly face. Rick yelped and shot Ardeth a dirty look. Ardeth smirked and then lit the dynamite and threw it into the passageway. It soon exploded and the door caved in with the mummies stuck in the rubble.

Rosie seemed to be slipping in and out of consciousness. She would open her eyes and hear that awful chanting, it made her feel sick. She let out a soft whimper as she felt a pain in her stomach and she had a thin sheen of sweat covering her. Whatever they were chanting, wasn't agreeing with Rosie. Imhotep held the black book of the dead in one arm and looked down at Rosie. A small smile on his face as he stroked her cheek lovingly. Her vision was shaky and filled with black spots as she looked up at him. She had no idea what came over her. Her voice was frail as she spoke. "Imhotep...my Husband please" she begged and she could see his proud smile drop slightly when hearing Rosie speak to him in such a way. "I can not stop. It's working, I can't stop this" Imhotep said and turned away. Rosie cried and her body lurched in agony. She felt like she was being pulled apart. Forcing another side of her to slowly emerge.

Back in the small room, Evie and the others started digging at the base of the Khonsu statue. Rick then looked over to the second doorway that led to a spooky dark passageway, more mummies were coming. Rick stood up and looked annoyed. Grabbing more ammo for his gun. "These guys won't quit!" he said and Evie looked over, seeing the mummies emerge from the darkness. "Hurry! Dig faster!" she yelled and Jonathan grunted, digging as fast as he could. "I am I am!" he yelled as Rick shot more of the mummies away. Ardeth suddenly gets up and takes the gun from Rick. "keep digging! I will distract them!" he said and moved to the mummies and shot at them.

Rick moved over to Evie and Johnatan and helped them dig. They finally hit the seem of the compartment and pulled at it hard. The compartment starts to loosen. About to give. The last time this happened, salt acid sprayed out, remember? Our heroes keep tugging. And that's when a skeletal hand bursts out of the ground and grabs O'Connell's ankle. Several more moldy hands burst up out of the ground. Evie screamed as one grabbed onto her hair. The three struggle with the mummies as they crawl up out of the dirt floor. One of the mummies violently shoves O'Connell away. Another grabs Jonathan by the throat and starts to strangle him. The third emerged from the ground, pulling Evie's hair and grabbing her. A fourth mummy grabs at the secret compartment and pulls hard. An intense burst of acid sprays out of the seam and hits the mummies, Evie was quick enough and turns around so the mummy holding her would get hit with the acid instead of her. The one strangling Jonathan gets it in the back and drops him. All four of the mummies melt horribly.

There were two more verses to be chanted and the ritual would be complete. Rosie was barely holding on as it is. Suddenly a black substance seemed to up and rise out of the bog making its way to her.

Ardeth Bay blasts away at the oncoming mummies. over at the base of the statue, O'Connell and Jonathan pull an ornate chest out of the secret compartment. Evie watches impatiently and looks back over to Ardeth who was fighting the mummies then back to the boys who then ripped off the lid, reaching inside Rick pulls out a heavy burlap bag. The three exchange nervous, exciting looks. Then he reaches into the bag and slowly pulls out the sold gold Book Of The Living- golden light reflects off their faces as they stare at it in wonder. The elephant gun goes empty. Ardeth Bay takes it by the barrel and wades into the remaining mummies swinging.

"Save the girl! Kill the creature!" Ardeth screamed to the others. The mummies quickly overwhelm him and start to tear him apart. O'Connell lights the last stick of dynamite and throws it against the far wall. Rick moved Evie under him and covered her up as the three hit the deck. "That's the last one, we better get lucky," Rick said. The wall blows and debris collapse, --but now here's a hole for them to get out. The three-race for the hole and Evie was the first to race out through the hole just as the remaining mummies enter the chamber.

Outside, Beni staggers across the sand with a saddlebag filled with treasure. He throws it over the rear of a camel. Starts to climb up. Hesitates. Looks back at the temple door. Licks his lips. And then his greed gets the better of him and he quickly climbs down and scurries back towards the door.

Imhotep reads more from the book and the chanting gets louder. Filling the room as the black mist covers Rosie's body making her jerk up as if she was electrified. "My wife's soul now will replace yours! We will be whole again!" he yelled in triumph. The mist leaves Rosie's body as the chanting was cut off by Evelyn bursting into the room with Rick and Jonathan behind her. "Get away from my sister!" she yelled as she held the golden book of the living in her arms. Imhotep looks at her and then smirks. Yelling something in Ancient Egyptian and the priests stop getting up and moving toward them. "Ok, let me handle this. You do your librarian thing ill do my thing" Rick said as he eased Evie out of the way. He grabbed an ancient sword out of a statue's hand, jumps up onto a gravestone, and leaped out over the Priests that tried to grab him. Evie moved out of the way and tried to open the book.

Jonathan then looked over to see his other sister, not moving. "Rose- Evie! We need to hurry she isn't moving! Evie!" he said worriedly as he stood with his sister. "I know I know I'm trying! We need the key!" she said and then looked over to Imhotep. "He has it I know he does!" she said and pointed to Imhotep. "Wah- Him!?" Jonathan repeated and looked at Imhotep nervously. Imhotep grinned and took the key box that was hanging on a rope around his neck. He tore it off and stuffed it into his pockets. O'Connell racks and chops at the attacking Priest-mummies, fighting his way to Rosie who lay in a trance-like state from the ritual being interrupted. The skeletal creatures wildly swing their swords, trying to stab O'Connell.

O'Connell cuts two of the mummies in half, then swings his sword down at Rosie, and with a loud clang, One chain breaks free. Evie looked nervous as she watched Rick get to her sister who still was unresponsive. "Evie, what do we do?" Jonathan asked again and Evie snapped out of it "i-i..yes Uhm, read the cover....Keetash-naraba" Evie said and then gasped as she saw Imhotep moving in on them. Jonathan moved a hand on his sister's shoulder and made them backpedal away from Imhotep. Jonathan trips and falls on his ass and takes Evie with him. O'Connell slashes another chain. Only one more left holding Rosie. Jonathan sits up quickly and Evie looked to the cover quickly. "Rasheem ANUBIS!" she yelled. Imhotep raises the sacrificial sword, about to kill them both. And that's when the giant statue of Anubis suddenly crashes through the wall. The god of Death, horrible, decrepit stone face stares angrily down. Jonathan and Evie stare back.

"Oh boy" Jonathan squeaked out.
