(Rick O'Connell's Point of View)

The crowd surround us, I panic looking around for an escape. I see a sewer hole under me, I kneel and peel away the covering. I lend a hand to Evelyn, then Jonathan, I look up seeing the leader finally take the fall too. I watch the owner of the museum fight off the slaves, I yell for him to come, but he stays his ground, telling me to go. I curse under my breath and hop down the passage, hitting ground as I do.

"My sister, why would she do that?!" Evelyn angrily yells.

"To buy time, she's smart, she took a chance." The leader announces.

"We'll get her back." I say to all of them. "We will get her back." I repeat myself, I look around finding a way, seeing the night sky light. "We have a long trip, ahead of us." I start walking hearing the others follow. 

We make it outside, seeing sand everywhere, we are back in the desert. We meet the Captain from before, we then start speaking of a deal. He accepts without any doubt, and stands from his chair, saluting us. He then waves his hand to his plane, we all look over then look back to him. 

"At your service!" He happily states. We fly high, I make sure Evelyn has a seat, I turn and whistle to Jonathan as he hangs on one of the wings. 

"You good?!" I question.

"Do I look bloody alright?!" He annoyingly yells at the top of his lungs, I smirk and check on the leader.

"You alright?!" I ask, he doesn't answer, but I see his smiling widely, making me know. I look over seeing a sand storm, I tap the Captain of the plane, grabbing his attention, I point to the storm.

"Never seen one so big!" He tells me while driving past.

"Never?" He nods, we fly by.

(Y/N Point of View)

I get thrown out the storm, I roll harshly, landing on my back. I cough and feel something heavy hit me from on top. I grunt seeing that boy Beni, I curse at him, and hit him off. I continue to do so, as he stands. I get up as well, standing a bit far from him. 

"I need a new job..." He says.

"How about new morals?" I bicker at him. We both turn silent looking at the storm slowly calm down, the sand collects back into Imhotep as he starts to walk over to us. "We're back, to Hamunaptra..." I say staring at out surroundings, my arm get harshly grabbed by Imhotep, he forces me to walk with him.  "Get your hands off of me! I can walk my...self?" 

We both freeze, hearing a noise from the sky. We all turn our heads seeing a plane fly over the area and back around. I smile and tug my hand away from Imhotep, taking steps little by little.

"O'Connell...." I faintly say, Imhotep notices my smile, making his anger rise. He stomps on the ground, revealing cracks. The cracks expand to sand, making a wall build and build up. This type of force, it'll kill them. I gasp watching the wall fly towards them, it covers my sight of them, making them disappear. 

They come in my sight again, the sand chases them faster as I watch a face be created. Imhotep's face...the wind picks up as I watch bullets start to be fired, seeing it do nothing to him. Imhotep widens his mouth, resulting in a loud roar, he swallows them up, I turn to him.

"Stop! You'll kill them!" I scream, Beni smirks.

"That's the idea." He confidently responds, I then have an idea pop in my head. 

I push Beni out the way, hearing a loud thud. I grab Imhotep's face and smash his lips against mine. I widen my eyes, seeing him focused on me with a gaze. I spin around, staring at the plane as I do so. The sand wall breaks down like a low wave, I release Imhotep's head and shove him away, seeing them survive, I smile brightly. They turn towards us, the plane slowly starts to flame up, making my smile fade. I watch as them hit the sand, hearing a loud crash.
