Hamunaptra- 1923 A.D

A garrison of the French Foreign Legion, who had found the ruins of the ancient city, set up their post within the crumbling walls. Among them are Rick and Amelia O'Connell, Americans serving in the legion, looked behind them to see their leader running off on his horse as a great army of Tuareg warriors gets closer before looking at Beni.

"You just got promoted," Beni said to Rick.

The three then took their aim at the warriors closely approaching.

"Prenez Voz Positions! Steady!" Rick ordered before asking Beni," You're with me on this one, right?"

"Oh. Your strength gives me strength," Beni answered.

"Steady!"

Beni then took off running after the general shouting, "Wait! Wait for me!"

"Steady!" Rick ordered again, waiting for the army to get closer," Fire!"

They all fired their guns, taking out some of the riders and more after they reloaded. The riders fired at them and took out some of their men. Rick and Amelia backed up while reloading their guns as the riders got even closer, jumping over the ruined walls, and taking out some of the men with their swords. With their guns reloaded, Rick and Amelia fired at the riders. A rider was getting close to them, and as the rider lifted his sword, Amelia threw one of her knives, hitting him in the chest and falling off his horse. Rick then hits a rider in the face with the butt of his gun before throwing it to the ground and pulling out his two pistols, and Amelia the same.

Rick runs out of bullets and tosses the pistols before pulling out two more. They shot one rider after another and another as they race their way to the temple. Many riders were coming at them and they shot at the rider as they jumped over the crumbled ruins.

"Run, Beni! Run! Get inside! Get inside!" Rick shouted. Beni runs behind the stone door and tries to close it, "Hey! Don't you close that door! Don't you close that door!" Rick and Amelia hit the stone door a second after it closed.

"Next time we see Beni, remind me to throw him in a river," Amelia told her brother.

Bullets hit the side of the stone wall, missing the two. They run away as the riders chase after them. As they jumped over the ruins, Rick saw a pistol, but when he went to get it, the riders fired shots at his hand. Amelia pulls her brother back before he was shot, and they run away and through the ruins. They see some more riders blocking their path and coming towards them. They run through a path of ruins as the rider chase after them. They eventually reach a dead end and turn to face the riders, who aim their rifles at them. They close their eyes and brace themselves for death. They hear the gun's cock but soon, they open their eyes in disbelief as they see that the riders have disappeared.

Their ears perk open, and they look around as they heard a voice whispering. They turn around to see a chipped statue of Anubis.

"You will die. You will die," The two heard the whispers say, followed by howling.

Suddenly they are attacked by small waves of sand rising, and they run away towards the desert. They stumbled their way into the desert, then they felt that they were being watched. They stop and turn around and look up at the cliffs. They see ten men on horses watching them before continuing their long journey through the desert.

Cairo, Egypt- 1926 A.D

Amelia and Anubis, her two-year-old Basenji, walk into the Museum of Antiquities. Amelia was there to speak with Dr. Bey when he saw her walking in as he left his office.

"Ah, Miss O'Connell, how is your brother?"

"He's as well as of the last time I saw him, which was when I was getting him out of trouble," She answered him, "It seems that every time I see him, I have to save his ass, and I'm getting tired of it."
