Chapter 1: The Beginning of the End.
Long ago in Ancient Egypt, there lived a mighty Pharaoh, a man of true Honor and strength to his kingdom. Pharaoh Reinhardt was such a mighty ruler, ruled with both grace and iron. He was beloved by his people, a well-respected warrior and the richest pharaoh of all time, it was said that above all the gold and jewels that he has accumulated over the years, none are greater than for his love of Amélie Lacroix. It was said that she was the most beautiful woman in all of Egypt and the Pharaoh had fought hard to win her affection, however her heart did not belong to the Pharaoh as he thought, instead her heart belonged to the Pharaoh's most trusted high priest: Gabriel Reyes.
The two had their eyes set on each other and in secret professed their love to each other, but one thing stands in their way: The pharaoh himself. Both Gabriel and Amélie plotted for a way to remove the Pharaoh from their lives and to be together forever. In some time, the plan went into motion…
The Pharaoh was out with his other warriors in a friendly spar; Reinhardt has always felt that his calling was to die in battle, letting the god of war Montu guide his destiny to greatness. "Ahh… It is good to move the muscles and fight, as much as I am a just ruler, I always preferred action over politics!" he yelled out to one of his warriors as he swung his staff to his opponent, who blocked his attack with grace and replied humbly. "I agree, my Pharaoh, as you are strong you are indeed wise… you are the true ruler of Egypt, I believe we have the strength to expand and conquer." The warrior swung his weapon close to the head of the ruler, only for him to swiftly dodge it then sweep the warrior off his feet and placed the staff on his chest. "A true ruler shows strength not through how much force he carries, but to how he uses it, one day you might become a general, best to learn young than learn when brittle and old as such as myself." The Pharaoh boasted. The two men laughed in delight.
As Reinhardt picked up the young warrior a priest arrives and knelt down to the Pharaoh. "My Pharaoh, I have come to deliver a message from your beautiful Amélie." He offers the scroll to Reinhardt. Reinhardt picked up the scroll from the priests hand and looked at it. "Hmm… it would seem She wishes to see me tonight." He stated loudly. The warrior walked up to his ruler with intrigue. "That's…a bit strange my Pharaoh." Reinhardt turned to the warrior with a raised Brow. "What do you mean?" The warrior bowed his head. "I mean no disrespect, but she has never called you to speak to her for as long as I have seen the two of you, I sense strange winds afoot." He said worryingly. Reinhardt closed the message and laughed. "Do not be ridiculous, the gods have smiled upon me and given me much, and still they give to see me live happy and joyfully, I will not take the god's gift with paranoia, I will go to my beloved and respect her wishes… and Priest, give double the praising and bounty to the gods as thanks for blessing me." The priest bowed his head and went to do his leader's orders. Reinhardt rode his horse back to the palace as it was soon getting dark, the warrior felt something was wrong and ordered his men to assemble the warriors if trouble arises in the palace.
The day turned to night and the city was lite with torches and fire. Reinhardt walked towards his chambers, eager to see his beloved Amélie waiting for him. As he closes in on his chambers he noticed some of Reye's priests opening the door, as if they were waiting for him. Reinhardt was slightly concerned but paid no attention to the priests as they lock the door behind. He walks towards the chamber to see his beloved leaning against a pillar, he was so eager to hear her gorgeous voice. As he gets closer, he slows down, not to gaze at her beauty but at her tattoos, sacred tattoos that were made by the priests to show that Amélie was the Emperor's one and only love, only to have it smeared crudely. He points his finger at the tattoo and asked in anger. "Who touched you!?" Amélie was in shock and looked at her tattoo only to look behind Reinhardt to see Reyes. Reinhardt turned around and saw his high priest unsheathe his sword. "Reyes… My loyal priest!?" In that moment the two knew what must be done. Amélie pulled a dagger from her back and stabbed the Pharaoh's heart. Reinhardt screamed in pain and turned his head to see the hatred stir in Amélie's eyes. Reyes followed her plan and stabbed the Pharaoh. Reinhardt screamed in agony as the two most trusted people in his life cut him down to nothing but a bloody mess. The priests looked on in both horror and intrigue as the two lovers killed their pharaoh, only to be interrupted by a loud thud from the outside, the guards were alerted and with all their might tried to bring down the door. The two lovers looked in shock and horror to realize that they will both be executed. Amélie looked at Reyes. "You must run, my love!" Reyes turned to Amélie in shock. "No I will not lose you like this!" He yelled in anger. Some of the priests ran to Reyes and forcibly tried to get him away before the guards arrive. Amélie urged them to take him away fast. "You're the only one that can resurrect me, now go!" Reyes was pulled out of the room along with a few of his priests, leaving Amélie to her fate. The guards broke through the door, weapons drawn only to be shocked to see Amélie standing over the corpse of the fallen Pharaoh, holding the knife that killed him; she grips his knife and yells at them. "THIS BODY DOES NOT BELONG TO THE FOOL!" She then stabbed herself, ending her life before any harm could come to her and afar Reyes closed his eyes to witness his beloved die by her own hand.
Amélie's body was sent to the priests to be shamed and prepared for damnation to the afterlife, only that wasn't Reye's plan; he and the priests took the body of his beloved and rode out into the desert, far from the late Pharaoh's kingdom and into Hamunaptra, where all the wealth of Egypt's pharaoh's is stored but also a city of the dead. Deep into the catacombs the priests conduct a ceremony using the book of the dead, praying dark tongue for the spirit of Amélie to arise and take back her body, Reyes held the knife ready to make the sacrifice. Near a black pool, the spirit of Amélie rises and phases past the priests who kept praying in fear and once her spirit lays on top of her body, Her body contorts in horrid motions as all her organs were placed in sacred jars, she looked at Reyes to finish the ritual. As Reyes lifted the knife to finish the ritual, the Pharaoh's guards ambushed Reye's and his priests, successfully stopping the ritual. In absolute horror, Reyes watched as Amélie's body became lifeless and her spirit rose again and screeched a horrible wail than finally pulled back into the underworld where she belongs.
With the ritual stopped; the guards took all the priests responsible for the murder of the Pharaoh and mummified them all alive. Reyes however… He was given a more horrific fate. The guards mummified the high priest alive as well, but they cut out his tongue, eyes and removed his organs, they placed Reyes into a sarcophagus, he tried his best to set himself free but he was too late, one of the guards walked over to Reye's sarcophagus and threw in a pot filled with Scarabs that began to eat him alive. The pain was unspeakable as Reyes screamed in agony as the guards closed his prison. He would be buried under the feet of Anubis, for now he is a danger upon this world, if he ever breaks free of his prison he will no longer be a man, but a beast, the Herald of destruction, a plague on this world, and from this day forth the order of the Medjai must keep vigilance over Hamunaptra and keep the world in the dark of the creature within no matter the cost.
Author's note: I just want to say, yes, I am making a play by play with the Mummy using Overwatch, I got the idea after watching the new Mummy, I thought it was just...bland in my opinion and then I watched the old 1999 Mummy Movie and then played Overwatch, then suddenly it hit me that some of the characters resembled some of the Overwatch characters, I checked for any fanfics if anyone has done this idea, sadly they have BUT not with Overwatch, meaning, I'm gonna do it! I hope you enjoy the Overwatch version of the Mummy, please leave a review and share this with anyone if you wish, but most importantly, enjoy the fanfic =)
