Visionary Kiss I & II & III

Visionary Kiss II 16
SCARAB CHAMBER - NIGHT


Imhotep stepped forward, not aware that there was more than one person in the chamber. The sand around him seemed to magnetize, swirling and dancing around his flaking skeletal legs.


Evelyn horrified. started backing away. She looked over to Burns and Willow.


"Help me, ...please, ...help me."


Burns opened his mouth, but could only gurgle and moan because his tongue was missing. Imhotep never looked at the man. A quick flick of his bony hand sent magic his way to make him silent.


Mesmerized by Evelyn, the mummy continued to move closer to her. Still unaware of the witch that was moving in ready to block any blow that might come.


Evey could see a fresh tongue flap between his rotted teeth, "Kadeesh pharos Anck-su-namun!"


Shivering in fear she looked passed him, her eyes on her friend that now slowly moved behind the rotted corpse. A shovel in her hand that had been left by one of the poor diggers, who had ran for his life, ready to strike at the right moment. What Evey could not hear was the soft spoken words from Willow. A spell that only the mummy could feel.


Imhotep tried to ignore the feeling of magic. It felt familiar to him, but it was not like the magic he knew or was made of himself. Finally he turned around to find out what it was behind him. Just as he began to do so, O'Connell came flying around the corner, running right up to Evelyn.


"Would you two quit playin', around! Let's get outta here already! Willow.." Rick saw that strange look in her eyes and turned around, to talk to the redhead, but at the sight of Imhotep he jumped back in fright.


"WHOA!"


O'Connell and Evelyn started backing down the wall. The mummy glided along with them. Like a tiger cornering his prey. The sand around him continued to swirl and dance.


Burns started to crawl away, whimpering as he did so.Willow moved again trying to get close enough to hit Imhotep.


The mummy suddenly stopped and unhinged his skeletal jaw, his skinless mouth stretched to an inhuman size, and he let out a horrific, primordial shriek,"ANCK_SU_NAMUUUUUN!!!!"


Evelyn screamed. O'Connell jumped. Embarrassed by his fear, he opened his own mouth and roared right back at him, "Ahhhhhhhh!!" Then blasted him with his elephant gun, forgetting that Willow was standing there. Through the smoke and flames he could see Imhotep blown off his feet, his ribcage half torn away. Willow, shovel still raised ready to strike, was standing at his side.


"Let's get out of here." He grabbed Evey's hand sure that the redhead would follow them as they ran.


EXT. CREVICE - NIGHT

Sand and wind whipped through the ruins as Rick and Evey stumbled up and out of the crevice, coming face to face with the armed mumia. Who quickly raised their guns and the couple raised their hands, finally aware that something or better someone was missing.


Jonathan, Henderson, Daniels and the Egyptologist were right in front of them already on their knees, hands over their heads.

SCARAB CHAMBER - NIGHT


Willow knelt down beside Imhotep, her hand reaching out to touch his skeletal face, only to stop as his eyes opened and he looked at her. Again she was lost in the depths that were his eyes, but they were not the same eyes of the Imhotep she once knew.


In his eyes she could only see, hate, confusion and need. Need to find his love. The woman that was the sole reason he had to face this eternity. The reason he killed and would kill.


"Imhotep, I know that you will remember everything as soon as you are whole again. I know what it will take for you to become whole again and I will not stop you. I'm here to save you, but I will not stand by and watch you try to hurt my friends."


This time her hands finally touched his flaking check and after one last look into his eyes, she whispered a short goodbye.

EXT. CREVICE - NIGHT


Ardeth Bay stepped forward, "I told you to leave or die, you refused, and now you may have killed us all.For you have unleashed the creature that we have feared for more than four thousand years."


"Relax, I got him."


"No mortal weapons can kill this creature. He is not of this world."


"Are we talkin' about the same creature? The walking corpse? Really big mouth? Really bad breath?"

INT. ANUBIS' CHAMBER - NIGHT


Beni slowly backed up around Anubis, his eyes wide, gun ready. He heard the sound of rustling cloth and quick footfalls coming from around the corner. As he turned to go in the other direction, he almost ran into Imhotep who seemed to materialize out of thin air right before him!


Beni screamed, backed away and opened fire only to be heard a few tunnels away by a witch that had a bright smile on her face. Willow knew that he probably would not die tonight, but he sure as hell was pissing his pants right now.


Six gunshots perforated Imhotep, but had no effect except to splatter gooey flesh rot onto the back wall. Beni retreated into a corner, scared shitless. While Imhotep moved forward, his one hand trying to stop the molten mummy guts from oozing out of the large shotgun hole in his side.


Beni dropped his gun and grabbed at the chains around his neck, all kind of religious symbols and icons dangled from each of the many chains.


The little man held the first one up, it was a Christian crucifix. He quickly made the sign of the cross and blessed himself in English, "May the good Lord protect and watch over me as a shepherd watches over his flock. And may Satan in all his forms be vanquished forever."


It had no effect on the mummy, who just continued forward, so Beni grabbed at the next symbol, holding them out towards Imhotep, one after the other, trying to slow his progress.


He used an Islamic Sword and Crescent Moon necklace; a Hindu Brahma medallion; a small Buddhist Bodhisattva statue.


All while blessing himself in Arabic, Hindi, Chinese and Latin. Nothing worked.


Imhotep's skeletal hand reached for Beni's throat, tears ran down the man's cheeks he was so scared.


And that's when he held up the Star of David and blessed himself in Hebrew.


The mummy stopped in his tracks.


His hand lowered, his grotesque new eyeballs stared at Beni, "The language of the slaves." Then looking at him quizzically. Imhotep took a step back.


"I may have use for you. And the rewards will be great." With this the mummy reached into his tattered robe and then held out a fetid hand, filled with squirming maggots.


Beni cringed, about to throw up, but then the maggots parted, revealing a tinle ole of little jewels.

His eyes widened and then Imhotep raised his other hand, in which he was holding the remains of the broken canopic jar.


"Where are the other sacred jars?"

EXT . CREVICE _ NIGHT


Several mumia dragged Burns up, who stared out with vacant sockets. All looked at him with shock but Daniels and Henderson were especially horrified.


"You bastards!"


"What did you do to him!?"


Ardeth Bay could only shake his head at the men, "We saved him! Saved him before the creature could finish his work. Now leave, all of you, quickly, before he finishes you all."


Jonathan after a quick glance into his sister's eyes, to make sure she was fine turned his head to be able to look at the mumia, "You're not going to kill us?"Causing Evelyn elbow him into his ribs.


"We must now hunt him down, and try and find a way to kill him, before he consumes the earth. Allah be with us."


After this last words Bay and the mumia started heading down into the crevice, only to hear Rick yell after them, trying to convince himself as well as them, "I told ya, I already got him!"


This made the leader of the mumia stop and turn, looking deadly serous.


"Know this, the creature will be coming for you. He must consummate the curse. And until he does, he will never eat, he will never sleep, and he will never stop."


Ardeth Bay turned and jumped down into the crevice.

INT. CREVICE - NIGHT


Willow watched as the mumia stormed into the crevice, she had been able to hear the last words from her friend and the answer to them. Hidden in a small entrance, she waited until the men were far enough away, to then walked straight into the head mumia Ardeth Bay.


"You? I should have known what was to come as I saw you in the camp."


Willow looked confused up into his face, "Who do you think I'm?"


"You are the one we heard about, the woman that would free the creature's soul. But they never said that you would also free the creature itself. I should have known better, then maybe I would have been able to stop all this .to stop you!"


"You don't need to stop me. I have not helped anyone, just watched it happen. As I will watch the thing's that will come. I'm only here to save Imhotep, not to save the people that were stupid enough to free him."

EXT. RUINS - NIGHT


O'Connell and Jonathan boosted Evelyn up onto a camel, continually calling Willow's name, in the hope that she was still alive. Only to see her walking over to her own camel, giving them a short nod.


The Egyptologist, still clutching the book of the dead, got up on yet another camel and they all headed off into the dark, windblown desert...


Behind them in the ruins, a skeletal hand suddenly punched up out of the sand, accompanied by the most horrific, primordial shriek imaginable...

ANCK_SU_NAMUUUUUN!!!!
