Airstrip No POV

Rick, Ardeth, and Jonathan arrived at the airstrip on a different car since Jonathan's was destroyed in the explosion. The air strip looks like the only place where Imhotep's curse hasn't touched as there was a young man who was making a herd of goats move and there were kids in the area as well. Not too far off, Winston was having some morning coffee or tea while music played on the gramophone behind him as a helper was next to him holding an umbrella as the trio walked to him.

Rick: morning, Winston. A word?

Winston: what's your little problem got to do with His Majesty's Royal Air Corps?

Rick: not a damn thing.

Winston: <puts his cup down> is it dangerous?

Rick: you probably won't live through it.

Winston: by Jove, do you really think so?

Jonathan: everybody else we've bumped into had died. Why not you?

Winston: what's the... <stands up> what's the challenge, then?

Rick: rescue the damsel in distress and my brother, kill the bad guy and the bad girl, and save the world.

Winston: <laughs and salutes> Winston Havlock at your service, sir.

Winston took them on his plane as Winston was the pilot (obviously), Rick was in the gunner position, while Jonathan was strapped to the left wing, and Ardeth on the right wing. They all had pilot caps and goggles on.

Rick: <whistles to Jonathan> are you all right?

Jonathan; do I bloody look all right?!

Rick: <turns to Ardeth> how you doing?

Ardeth: <looks like he was having the time of his life>

Winston looked to his left and saw a giant tornado of sand moving very quickly.

Winston; see that? I've never seen one so big.

Rick; never?

Winston: no!

The sand tornado dropped Evelyn, Beni, and Wade as Beni landed on Evelyn as Wade landed on his back.

Evelyn: <hits Beni> get off me! Get off!

Beni; I need a new job.

Wade: you need a new life.

The sand went away as Imhotep and Ahmanet walked down the sand hill as the three humans got up as they saw they were near Hamunaptra.

Evelyn; oh, my god. We're back.

They all heard a plane flying above.

Wade: His Majesty's Royal Air Force.

Evelyn: O'Connell!

Imhotep looked at his sister as she walked forward as she extended her hands towards the desert as a lot of sand rose up from the ground creating a wall of sand that went towards the plane.

Rick: oh, my god. Hey, Winston! Pedal faster! 

Winston: <sees the wall of sand with the mirror> hang on, men!

Winston flies down to gain more speed as the sand was after them as Ahmanet's face appeared in the sand as where she was actually standing had the same look as she was smirking. Rick had the smart, or dumb, idea to just shoot at the sand and since it did nothing, Ahmanet made it so that the sand engulfed them.
