Ch.59 Always have the last laugh!!

Upon entering the main room, Kris saw that most of the others were sleeping. Aside from Zero who was stirring just now, Jie and O'Connell stayed alert. After the fight in the museum and the chase, it was normal for anyone to feel exhausted.

"So... let's have a look at you..." Kris said as he walked towards Zero.

Kris, checked his eyes by asking him to follow his index finger with his gaze, and snapping his finger besides his ear, Kris saw Zero's dull reaction to the stimuli.

He shook his head, and said "Your still too weak, I'll have to use the coconuts..."

Kris quickly took out a knife, peeled the top of the coconut, he then removed the tip of the syringe, along with the needle, then attached it to the rubber hose.

When he was done, he made a hole on the coconuts top portion, and inserted the rubber hose; succesfully making a makeshift IV drip.

As he inserted the needle in Zero's arm, Zero muttered a question."You had Special Forces training?!"

Kris didn't answer but, wink at Zero as placed the coconut on the beds headboard while making a loose knot on the rubber hose to regulate the drip. Then left, to let Zero rest.

It was nighttime when Zheng woke. When he looked around, he saw Kris by the window, and asked "where's Jie and Ardeth?"

"Ardeth? if you mean the guy in black, His on the roof with Jie keeping an eye out of the living dead's movements." said Kris

Zheng slump down beside Kris, his back leaning on the wall facing the sleeping members.

He then said, "What do you think I should do? the teammates that depended on me, and trusted me. Now have one foot out of the grave. A potential comrade in the same situation..."

"He was still ok, and pulling out Yinkong from the fight when I carried them both... It's my neglect that cause him this... and now we are trapped in this city... what do you think I should do?!"

Kris looked at Zheng's form filled with guilt, and self pity.

Then as he looked away he said, "You ask for help."

Zheng hearing this lifted his head... and stared at Kris.

"You always have been spoon fed ideas, and solutions by Lan, by Xuan and by Honglu but, Never once did you ask for there aid for you to find the solution you needed."

"You've relied on them blindly, for this matters yet you force yourself to stick to your own morals. Have you ever thought of looking for a compromise or to formulate on your own conjectures, and act upon them?"

"If you want to continue to act as our leader, you will need to process the facts yourself, but ask for assistance when you have doubts, be flexible yet firm, be dynamic yet you'll have to stick to your own code."

"Once you've learned this, then come talk to me again about what you should do next..."

"I am not like the rest, I don't depend on you, as I have always been looking out for my own safety... It just so happens that your presence adds up with my goals... so just for now, like everyone else, I'll give you a way out."

Just when Kris finished his words a flying car became visible right outside the window.

Kris have called Felicity for a lift...

Zhengs eyes grew wide, and muttered "so that's how you were able to bring that car in the desert."

"Their both beauties right?! hehehe" Kris said

At this point everyone woke up, and were shock at the sight of a flying car hovering outside the window.

When the flying car landed on the roof, everyone rush towards it, and saw Felicity? as she got off.

Suddenly, they heard the tweets of a bird on the roof's edge. It was a white little eagle standing there staring at Ardeth. The man in black waved his hand then, the eagle landed on his wrist.

He took off a piece of paper from its claw. After he read it, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket and tied it on the claw. Then the eagle flew out into the night.

"Powerful strangers. My tribe and I are the descendants of the Pharaoh's bodyguards."

"We've been guarding Hamunaptra for several thousand years to prevent Imhotep's resurrection. We are willing to sacrifice anything to defeat him."

"Rest assured, we have assembled our men on the way to Hamunaptra. Whether it is Imhotep's army of the dead, or the strangers attempting to revive Anck-su-Namun."

"Our tribe... vows with our swords and glory to stop and destroy them!" The man gave his solemn vow.

"Well now we have an army, and a way out. All we need to do is get to our battlefield." said Kris

all in all there were 12 people present counting the players, and movie characters. Zero, and Heng were to weak to be seated so they, made makeshift beds for them in the trunk section of the ford anglia.

By placing some stilts to hold the trunk door up. They were able lay safely without any discomfort due to the expanded space that could fit multiple Hogwarts trunks.

On the driver's seat, Felicity sat on Kris's lap on the front passenger seat sat O'Connell while on his lap was Evelyn; Zheng, Jie, Ardeth, and the curator sat at the back seat.

While Yinkong was adamant she would be seated in between the two front seats, she sat in the middle of the couples pair.

When everything was set, they flew out of Cairo whilst invisible, towards the Oasis near Hamunaptra. Where they will set up the battlefield.

[Scene Break]

Team India stood on top of a building over looking the city below. Shiva then looked at Imhotep, who stood over his minions of undead, moving forward. He laughed coldly and said, "Shainaia, have you found Team China's location yet!"

Shainaia shook her head, and said "They have seem to disappear out of thin air, It might be possible that they are not in the city anymore."

Shiva's eye was filled with rage, but then his face turn solemn "We won't need to look for them, they still havr the mission to eliminate Imhotep. They will soon show themselves..."

"Not to mention Imhotep will be looking for them, and there is only one place Imhotep will go to... Hamunaptra." added Shiva

Shainaia asked, "Leader, what should we do now?"

Shiva paused for a moment. "Of course we have to follow them. Arot, how is your condition?"

In a dark corner of the roof, Arot said calmly, "Not that good. The people around here became zombies before I had the chance to hunt them. Recovery of my lungs is at 70%. If I have to transform, I can only retain 70% of my normal power but it should be enough for close combat."

"Arot go find the airport. Once we get the plane, we can quickly chase them down."

"Even if they hide we know where they be… High Priest Imhotep, just like you see, we are enemies to the team that's trying to stop you."

"Enemies of your enemies are your allies. We will help you revive Anck-su-Namun but we need your help to defeat that other team. As it so happens They have the Book of the Dead as well."

"Can your army continue to Hamunaptra? After all there would be the ten thousand cavalries waiting for as there, your army is the only force that can stop them and earn us time to revive Anck-su-Namun. Those medjai won't be able to stop the undead army."

Imhotep nodded and said something in old Egyptian. Then he turned around and roared. A dense sea of mummies was on the streets behind him. They roared as one with him. This earth-shattering, terrorizing roar seemed as if would could cause the whole city of Cairo to buckle…

A drone hovered not far from the Team, and was transmitting every word, Shiva said back to Kris...

He just chuckled and said, "What do you think dear? Should I press the button or should you?"
