I wake up and see.... Larry holding the tablet. Kahmunrah speaks to him in Egyptian then in French
"No, English. English, perhaps"
"I'm sorry, who are you?"
"Ha" I laugh making Kahmunrah look at me with a frown
"I am Kahmunrah, the great king of the great kings, and from the darkest depths
of ancient history. I have come back to life!" I burst out laughing
"Uh huh"
"Perhaps you did not hear what I just said. I am a centuries-old Egyptian Pharaoh. I was dead, but now I have come back to life!"
"He's got it Kah" I roll my eyes
"Who are you?" Kahmunrah asks looking at Larry confused
"Larry Daley. Daley Devices? It's up in New York. It's funny, I know your brother, Ahkmenrah"
"Damn it Larry. Now your in for it"
"Do you?"
"Yeah"
"He knows baby brother"
"Don't act like you care Kah" I scoff
"Good kid"
"Isn't he just. He was the favourite one. You know, Mother and Father always
gave him the best of everything, and I do mean everything"
"Here we go" I sigh
"He got the girl, a big fancy wedding. He was expecting a child. He had everything you could have wished for. They even gave him the throne. The throne which was rightfully mine!"
"He never mentioned that"
"There are reasons for that Larry. We hate Kah. He's the reason I never become a mother. Isn't that right Kah?"
"Well, now begins the era of Kahmunrah,
because I have come back to... never mind, just hand me the tablet"
"Don't give it to him, Gigantor!"
"Larry listen to Jed and the others" they are all banging and shouting
"Silence! Silence in there, please!" Kah bangs on the containing unit "don't make me come in there"
"No! I won't be muzzled"
"Jed leave it before he harms one of you" I sigh
"Look, that tablet is more powerful than you, Larry Daley of Daley Devices,
can possibly imagine" Kah walks forward causing Larry to move backwards
"Exactly why he shouldn't give it to you" I say
"Bringing things back to life
is just a parlor trick. With it, I shall unlock the Gate to the Underworld
and bring forth my army from the Land of the Dead. So, if it's not too much trouble..." Kah puts his hand out to Larry to get the tablet  "...hand it over"
"Okay, here you" my eyes widen in fear as Larry gives him the tablet
"Wise decision. Now Amunet you shall rule by my side"
"I'd rather die all over again"
"We'll that can be arranged"
" I thought you wanted the Cube, but..."
"The Cube?" Kah repeats. I look at Larry confused
"The Cube of Rubik"
"All right, what is this Cube of Rubik, then?"
"The Cube. You know, the one that turns all who oppose you to dust? that one? Whatever. I thought... It was my bad, 'cause...you know what? By the way, your brother didn't want to mess with it, either" this is when I realise this is all fake to try and help us 
"Oh yeah, he wanted to play it safe, too. The Cube of Rubik scared him"
"Just, you sort of struck me as a next-level sort of guy, so I was..."
"I am not my brother, Larry"
"Oh don't we all know" I mutter
"I will kill you and your friends in the blink of an eye. Not Amunet. I will give her a chance to do whats right. She's been brainwashed the poor dear. Now take me to this Cube of Rubik"

Larry leads us to this large box. I'm held captive by the Egyptian guards
"Here it is"
"Open it" Larry opens the box and octopus comes out. Larry takes the tablet and my hand and we being to run
"Come back here! come back here with my tablet! I still have your friends!" Kah shouts after us.
