G5 Adventures in Scooby-Doo! in Where's My Mummy?

Things had taken a dire turn for the worst.

After the arrival of Amelia von Butch and her cronies, who blew open the entrance to the tomb of Cleopatra and unleashed an ancient curse, the tomb seemingly released a horrible sandstorm which apparently turned Prince Omar Karam into a stone statue, breaking poor Hazina’s heart.

But what was even worse was that Dr. von Butch decided to enter the tomb anyway, taking Hazina’s three remaining friends-- Anga, Tofauti and Ulaghai-- hostage.

Now the question remains… what were our heroes going to do now?

XXXXXXXX

Anga, Tofauti and Ulaghai grunted under the weight of supplies they were given by Dr. von Butch’s minions, clearly miserable with the fact that they were helping with this plan.

They were worried sick about Hazima, since they had barely left each other’s side except for a few seldom occasions.

If they didn't try to figure a way out of this fast... who knows how many others might get struck by the curse?

Of course, Amelia would never let them go for just the reason of the curse-- they had to be clever about how they did this... otherwise they could all end up in hot water.

Back at the top of the tomb, the Mane 6 tried to comfort their remaining friends and Sparky about what had just occured when Daphne brought up an imposing question. “Why would the curse strike Omar? He only wanted to protect the tomb.”

“I don’t know, Daphne,” Sunny sighed. “Something just doesn’t feel right about this, but I can’t lay my hoof on it.”

“But,” Hitch argued, “we also know that more people could fall under the curse, including us, if we don’t stop this!”

Fred nodded in agreement to this. “Well, gang, it looks we've got another mystery on our hands.”

But, it was at that moment that Velma gave an answer that blew them all away. “No, Freddy-- we don’t.”

“WHAT?!” the others cried in surprise. “Velma, are you feeling okay? Running a fever from this heat?” Pipp asked desperately. “How many hooves am I holding up?!”

“I’m sorry, gang,” Velma said firmly, “but it's just too dangerous this time. If something were to happen to you guys, I'd never forgive myself.”

“Hold on! Did Velma just say that we're not going to try to solve a mystery?” Shaggy asked in disbelief. “Ha-ha-ha. Like, I still must have sand in my ears.”

“Velma, I understand your concern for us, but things could get a lot worse if we don’t at least try to do something,” Zipp said. “Besides,” said Hazima, looking at the petrified body of the fallen prince, “what about Omar? We can’t just leave him like this!”

“Come on, Velma-- we have to follow them down into the tomb,” Misty said encouragingly. “Maybe, while we’re trying to rescue Anga, Tofauti and Ulaghai, we can find some way to reverse the curse!”

“Hmm…” Velma thought about this for a few moments before she spotted Omar’s journal laying at his feet, which she picked up. “At least we've got Omar's journal. It could help guide us safely through the chambers.”

“I’m going with you,” Hazina said firmly. “Omar swore to protect the secrets of Egypt, and I’m not going to let him or my friends down.”

“Okay, Hazina, if you’re sure,” Sunny said before taking a deep breath and pointing toward the entrance to the tomb. “Come on, guys… we’re going in.”

“Good idea,” Shaggy nodded. “And while you guys do that, Scoob and I will keep Prince Omar company. Ha-ha. Hey, Scoob, how 'bout a round of Go Fish?”

“Yeah,” Scooby nodded eagerly. “No way, guys,” Zipp said firmly. “There's no splitting up this time. Like Velma said, it's too dangerous.”

“Zipp’s right,” Misty nodded. “We’re better off if we all stick together.”

And so, our heroes set forth into the tomb after Amelia von Butch and their captured friends, hoping to reach them before they got too far ahead.

They had to across long pathways suspended many meters above the ground, and Shaggy glanced down from their current height and couldn’t help but shudder. “Man, that's one steep drop, Scooby-Doo. I wonder how far down it goes.”

“I don’t know,” Scooby answered, but as he answered, his echo came back at him, bouncing off the walls of the tomb itself. “I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know…”

But as the echo finally seemed to disappear from the inside of the tomb, Shaggy looked around to discover that the others had disappeared from sight. “Hey, like, where’d everybody go?”

“Where’d everybody go?” Shaggy’s voice echoed back. “Where’d everybody go?”

“Wait for us!” Shaggy then shouted, ignoring his voice's echoes as he and Scooby raced after the others as fast as their feet and paws could take them.

Hazina hummed in thought as she and her friends navigated through the tomb. “It sure is getting dark down here. Anga doesn’t like going into cold, dark places.”

“Izzy, Misty? Maybe you both can light the way with your horns,” said Sunny, “just in case our phone flashlights run out.”

“You got it, Sunny-Bunny!” Izzy chirped. “One lit horn, coming right…”

But try as she might, Izzy couldn’t get her horn to light up properly, causing her to chuckle nervously. “Uh… is this a bad time to say that my magic is gone?”

“Uh-oh!” Hitch tried to make a plant grow, but to no avail. “My magic’s gone too!”

“Me too!” Pipp said as she tried to get off the ground, but her wings just wouldn’t let her. “What the hey is going on?!”

“It must be the mysteries of the tomb!” Hazina realized. “The power held within this sacred place must be cutting off your Equestrian magic!”

“Oh, great…” Zipp sighed. “Now what’re we gonna do?”

“We’re just gonna have to do this the old fashioned way, I guess,” Misty sighed before gesturing ahead. “Come on… I think Amelia von Butch’s group is just up ahead.”

XXXXXXXX

Turns out, Misty was correct-- the group led by Amelia von Butch wasn’t too far ahead, and they had stopped right on the edge of a very detailed floor, depicting another female figure from Egyptian history. “Nobody move!” Amelia told the group as the Mane 6, Fred, Daphne and Velma reached the edge of the floor as well. “This is the first trap.”

“Jeepers,” Daphne said upon seeing the female figure depicted on the floor. “That doesn’t look like Cleopatra.”

“That’s cause it’s not,” Hazina spoke up. “That's the Egyptian goddess Isis. Her power protects Cleopatra's tomb.”

“Huh… would you look at that?” Ulaghai said under her breath. “She remembers something from our lessons with Omar while we’re on the brink of death!”

“Hang in there, guys!” Sunny called to their captured friends. “We’ll figure out a way to get to you!”

“LIKE, GANGWAY!!”

It was then that the Mane 6 and their friends turned to see Shaggy and Scooby bolting toward them without any knowledge of the trap or without any intention of stopping until they were out of this place. “Shaggy, Scooby!” Velma cried out. “Wait!”

Shaggy and Scooby tried to stop in time, but they ended up pushing everyone, including Amelia’s group and their captured friends, into the middle of the floor, which began to crack under their feet, hooves and paws. “Guys, don’t move!” Zipp shouted to the others. “The floor is a trap!”

Shaggy chuckled nervously at this, looking over at the Great Dane next to him. “Just our luck, Scoob. Out of the frying pan and into the microwave!”

“And with our magic not working,” Misty said as she strained to light her horn, “we’re basically sitting ducks!”

As the floor began to crack even more underneath them, Amelia knew that it was now or never to make a break for it. “MOVE!!”

“Everyone, head for the door!” Tofauti cried out. “GO GO GO!!!”

And so, everyone tried to reach the door as quickly as they could, with Sunny, Hitch, Zipp and Hazina helping Amelia’s group, Hazina’s captured friends, Fred, Daphne and Velma to one side of the room…

…while Shaggy, Scooby, Misty, Pipp and Izzy got separated from their friends in all the chaos, reaching the door they had just come through as the entire floor gave way, leaving a large gap where the floor used to be.

Once the dust had settled, Pipp looked back to see Shaggy, Misty and Izzy trying to get their bearings. “Guys! Are you okay?”

“We’re fine, I think,” Misty said as she brushed herself off, but then noticed that they were one canine short. “Wait… where’s Scooby?”

“Scoob?” Izzy called out. “Where are you?!”

Suddenly, there came the sound of chomping coming from a nearby sarcophagus, and when Shaggy peered inside, he found Scooby eating a sandwich that had mysteriously appeared out of nowhere, and Shaggy found himself laughing at the sight. “Well, how do you like that? Instead of King Tut, I found King Mutt!”

“King Mutt…” Scooby giggled at the thought of it while Misty only sighed in relief. “I’m just glad you’re okay, Scooby. Now… what happened to the others?”

“Guys!” Daphne cried out from the other door on the other side of the room. “Are you okay?!”

“I think so!” Shaggy answered back. “But we'd be better if we had more sandwiches!”

“...they’re okay,” Hitch gave a deadpanned look while Sparky only giggled at how fun this was for him. But the moment didn’t last long before Amelia pulled on the ropes that Ulaghai, Tofauti and Anga were attached to. “This way.”

“AGH!! Watch the neck, doc!” Ulaghai strained as she and her friends were forced to follow. “I just had my fur done around that area!”

But as Amelia’s group began to go down the tunnel, Zipp knew that those who were left of the heroes needed to follow them. “Girls, Scooby, Shaggy? Stay right there!” she instructed. “We’ll be back for you as fast as we can!”

“So much for not splitting up,” Shaggy told the others as their friends soon vanished from sight. “Yeah,” Scooby nodded. “Hey, look on the bright side, guys,” Pipp said as she pulled out her phone. “At least we get to listen to some music while we wait to be rescued!”

And then, with the swift tap of her hoof, Pipp’s phone began to play one of her most popular songs, Bestie Life, which she instantly began to sing to.

Pipp: Everypony needs a good friend
Every now and then, yeah
Somepony you can turn to

For a little magic
For a little strength
When we are together
Everything is great, yeah

Bright sky, fly high
This life's gettin' better every day (Whoa-oh-oh)
Day and night, you and I, side by side
Wouldn't have it any other way...

As Pipp turned on her tunes in order to comfort her remaining friends, Amelia's group (with the remaining heroes falling behind) came to another large and spacious room, but as they came into it, Campbell spotted something on his monitor that caused them to stop. “Hold on. We got something here.”

Anga sniffed the air, feeling something wasn’t right in this circumstance. “I hate to admit it, but he’s right-- there’s movement everywhere around here!”

“But… there’s nobody down here except us,” Hitch muttered, the heroes hearing everything from where they were. “What could possibly be making all that movement?”

XXXXXXXX

After Pipp's jam session was over, Misty had the idea to look around the area she and her remaining friends ended up in to see if there was anything that could help them follow their friends, and their search led them to a dark and mysterious part of the tomb, filled with a bunch of sarcophaguses like ones they had seen before. “Whoa. Look at all these creepy coffins,” Shaggy commented as he looked around. “They’re actually called sarcophaguses, Shag,” Pipp said as she took some pictures. “But they work around the same concept of burying dead people.”

That was when Shaggy spotted another sarcophagus nearby and opened it, wanting to check it out. “Hey, Scoob, do you know who tucks a mummy into bed at night?”

Scooby shook his head, innocently not knowing the answer. “Uh-uh.”

“His mummy!”

Izzy burst into laughter at this joke. “Mummy… his mummy! That’s a good one, Shagster!”

However, Scooby didn't laugh as the other ponies joined Shaggy at the sarcophagus, with a glowing green light and an eerie moaning sound making Scooby's fur stand on end. Shaggy, on the other hand, didn't notice the glow at first, but thought it was Scooby doing the groaning. “Hey, that might not be my best joke, but you don't have to groan about it.”

“Shaggy?” Scooby trembled. “Ponies?”

“Not now, Scoob,” Pipp said as she and Izzy searched the sarcophagus with Shaggy. “Can’t you see we’re trying to earn our junior archaeology merit badges?”

However, Misty turned and squeaked in terror to see what was behind them and turned her attention back to her distracted friends. “Uh, Pipp? I don’t think those merit badges are all that important right now. It seems to me that we’ve got company!”

When the others finally turned to see the glow behind them, they were stunned to see three undead mummy warriors standing right behind them! “AGH!!” Pipp shrieked. “I see what you mean now, Misty!”

“RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!” Izzy shrieked, sending the group on the run from the three undead warriors.

XXXXXXXX

Back in the other part of the tomb, Fred heard the others’ screaming and immediately stopped. “Listen-- that’s the girls, Shaggy and Scooby!”

“Oh my Ra!” Hazina gasped out of fear. “It sounds like they’re in trouble!”

Tofauti then spotted something in the higher levels of the room, his ears folding back and gulping nervously at the sight of it. “Well, guess what?” he trembled, pointing his hoof upward. “So are we!!”

The others gasped as soon as they saw a horde of undead warriors coming into the room from the upper levels, each one of them with a different weapon in hand and ready to defend the tomb. Campbell immediately pulled out his sword at the sight of them. “The army of the undead!”

“Ponies, and… non-ponies, spread out!” Sunny shouted to her friends. “Fight back as best you can, but don’t let those things get you!”

And as the army of the undead seemed to get closer, those remaining of the Mane 6 leapt to attack, along with Hazima, Amelia, Natasha and Campbell, all while members of Amelia's team got grabbed and dragged into the shadows, screaming their lungs out. But the more undead warriors they fought off, there seemed to be more warriors coming in their places. “Oh my Ra!” Ulaghai panted tiredly, looking at the chaotic scene before her and her friends. “They’re everywhere!”

“Fall back!” Amelia shouted before launching her grappling hook to the ceiling and swinging up, knocking down one of the undead warriors that seemed to be in charge. “Wow,” Fred commented as he watched her. “She’s good.”

“Freddy!” Daphne shrieked. “Look out!”

More undead warriors were heading right for them, but luckily, Anga was able to use her long neck to hit the undead warriors away. “Go, guys, go! Protect Hazima!” Anga shouted. “We’ll see if we can hold these things off!”

“You heard the giraffe!” Zipp cried to her friends. “Let’s get going! Hurry!”

XXXXXXXX

As their friends were trying to escape more and more of the undead soldiers, Shaggy, Scooby, Pipp and the two unicorns were trying to outrun the small batch of mummified soldiers that had found them just a few moments prior.

They quickly rounded a corner into another part of the tomb, but the second they lost the warriors and started through that section of the tomb, a section of boobytraps activated, including spikes rising from the floor, giant swinging metal arms and fireballs launching from the mouths of nearby statues.

Thankfully, our heroes were able to avoid all of it, but at the very last second, they splashed into the waters beside the path, and these waters were filled with some very angry and agitated crocodiles, which they were able to get away from at the last possible moment, only to try and avoid flying spears as they ran for the exit, which started to close, at top speed.

Fortunately, the girls, Shaggy and Scooby made it through and managed to stop and catch their breath, only for another undead warrior to appear and scare the living daylights out of them, and the ponies, Shaggy and Scooby thankfully lost him by disappearing and reappearing in different sarcophaguses around the room, then locking him inside one.

After a moment, more undead warriors joined the chase, and that chase seemed to last for quite a while, until Pipp saw some nearby mummy clothes and dressed Shaggy and Scooby to make them appear as girl mummies, attracting the warriors’ attention before they pushed a giant stone pillar down toward them, sending them out of the room and out of their hair.

But just to be safe, they hid behind more stone pillars until they were absolutely sure that the mummies were gone, causing Misty to sigh in relief as they soon backed away from the pillars in question. “Way to go, guys… I think we lost them.”

Scooby let out a sigh of relief, but at that moment, Shaggy seemed to notice something odd happening. “Hey, is it just me, or is this room getting taller?”

“Uh… I don’t think it’s you, Shaggers!” Pipp said desperately, trying to move her hooves. “Look!”

Turns out, our heroes had wandered into a patch of quicksand, another boobytrap, and they were starting to sink rather quickly. “Oh no!” Shaggy yelped as Scooby leapt into his arms. “Like, it's like quicksand!”

“No no no no no!” Misty cried, trying to move her hooves, but to no avail. “Why did we have to be out of magic at a time like this?!”

“HEEEEELP!!!” the group seemed to scream at the top of their lungs, over and over again, but that seemed to re-attract the undead warriors and called them toward the very same room they were in. “Zoinks!” Shaggy cried as the group tried to swim away from the undead warriors. “This quicksand isn’t quick enough!”

“Paddle, hooves! Paddle!” Izzy said as she tried to fight against the quicksand, but during their struggle, one of the undead warriors managed to grab hold of Scooby’s collar as he swam away, causing it to snap off and fall into the quicksand below. “I know this is gonna mess up my mane big-time,” Pipp whimpered but regained her composure in their time of need, “but down periscope, gang! Dive, dive, dive!!”

The group dove further into the quicksand, unaware that it was really a roof below them leaking sand, and as soon as that roof broke away, the group fell into a sarcophagus filled with sand right below it, softening their fall. “Phew…” Misty sighed. “I’m glad this sarcophagus softened our fall, otherwise I don’t know what would have happened.”

It was then that Scooby’s collar fell on his snout, causing Izzy to gasp in concern. “Oh, Scooby, your collar broke off! Don’t worry, I’ll reattach it for you.”

But before Izzy could make a move, the entire tomb began to tremble, and the sarcophagus our heroes were trapped in fell through the floor and began to slide through a series of tunnels down below!

Now, with our heroes all separated and everyone being severely frightened, it was going to take a miracle to track each other down... especially before the dreaded curse of Cleopatra claimed another innocent victim.
