"Hello, Mr. Daley. Nice to see you again. My dear Amunet, I have missed you" Kahmunrah walks towards Larry and I. I roll my eyes at Kah "now, if you don't mind, I shall take that from you. Thank you. Finally. Finally! After 3,000 years, my evil army of the damned, my beautiful, beautiful army" Kah placed the tablet in a hole. I know it's not going to work because he doesn't have the combination"shall be unleashed!" nothing happens "I'm afraid that Mother and Father may have slightly changed the combination on me"
"More like they never gave it to you"
"I guess this whole unleashing-the-underworld thing isn't really working out for you, huh? It must be really frustrating, cause you've waited thousands of years to come back from the dead and everything, and now you can't get it open"
"Fear not, for I shall wait a thousand more if I must, but my dear Amunet you surely know the combination"
"No and even if I did I wouldn't tell you"
"Well in a few hours you'll be standing here in a frustrated position, frozen, and I'll walk out of here with my buddies and that'll be that. So, I got all night"
"Larry, shouldn't have told him that" I shake my head
"Really all night? well, he doesn't" Kah points and Jed is in a little cage "open that cage"
"Kah what are you doing?" I ask as the cage opens and Kah picks up Jed
"No touching. No touching. "Don't you manhandle me!"
"Look, he's having a little tantrum"
"Stop it"
"Don't you squirm. Don't squirm. It'll only be worse for you"
"Put him down" Larry shouts
"Don't be afraid"
"Says the man who gave me poison to kill my baby, me and my husband"
"Oh come now, poisoning you to kill that child of yours was never proven. Now, I shan't hurt you" Kah then drops him in a timer "whoops, I lied. I don't think he has all night at all, Mr. Daley. From the looks of things, I'd say he has a little over an hour"
"Why are you doing this?" I ask upset
"You are my brothers wife you should know about the tablet. And you were the guardian so you should also know" Kah takes the tablet and goes over to Larry "you're obviously much more clever than the rest of us. You may or may not
know the combination, but I am going to give you exactly one hour to figure it out. If you do not, I shall kill your friends. Well except my beautiful Amunet here at least now she can be mine and I don't have to worry about that idiot brother of mine. Please don't think about escaping,
for I shall be watching you"
"Look, I don't even know how to begin to decipher this thing, all right?"
"Hmm what a pity. Your little cowboy friend seemed like such a charming little fellow. Ah, well. Tick-tock, Mr. Daley. Your hour has begun"
"Hey! You got this, partner. I know you do" Jed yells. Larry looks at me and I go to walk towards him
"Oh no where do you think your going? your staying right here my dear where I can keep an eye on you" Kah pulls me back and forces me to walk over to where his little throne is
"Get your hands off me" I pull my shoulder away from him as Larry leaves.

I sit at the bottom of Kah's throne, he is currently prancing around in a robe
"You know, I do sort of feel like a floating butterfly" I roll my eyes at him
"You are crazier than a road lizard" Jed yells in the hourglass next to me
"Mr. Egypt" I snicker at Ivan's words "these two here heard that we're taking over the world and they want in. I don't know who they are, but they're on exhibit here, too, apparently"
"I don't even know what they are" Kahmunrah walks towards the three.. people? "I'm sorry, but we're all full up in our axis of evil today. Sorry"
"Oh come on! but I'm bad, I'm bad" the green thing in the bin says
"Hey, I could show you how bad I am. Fear me" the green thing tries to growl
"I'm sorry. I'm just not buying it. You don't seem very bad. You just seem sort of vaguely grouchy to me" Kah responds. The one in a black mask and cloak moves his hand up while breathing heavily "what are you doing? what is that? what is this?" Kah makes the hand movement while seeming rather confused, as am I at the moment "what does it mean? you've lost me. Is that you breathing? because I can't hear myself think. Can I make one suggestion to you, my friend? just simplify. There's just too much going on here. You're evil, you're asthmatic, you're a robot... and what is the cape for? are we going to the opera? I don't think so. Sorry! Goodbye"
"Attention!" Napoleon shouts "he's leaving with the tablet" huh? thats Larry's plan to leave with the tablet? maybe he thinks if he takes it far enough away we will freeze, but what about Jed? I get up from my sitting position and walk over to the large window and see if i can see Larry
"He's not trying to figure out the... he's trying to escape. Go. Go. All of you. Kill him and bring me that tablet" Kah orders making me sigh and sit back down to Jed
"Don't worry, it's Larry, he's got a plan" Jed says trying to comfort me and probably himself
"I hope your right Jed"
