The Stone of Destiny

**The Stone of Destiny** is the fifth episode of *Tenko and the Guardians of the Magic*. The episode was written by George Arthur Bloom.

## Synopsis

Professor Doole explores the tomb of King Hepsut in Egypt, in search for a legendary gem that allowed him to see into the future. Suddenly, the tomb collapses and Professor Doole is buried in the rubble. Soon after, Steel goes to visit Professor Doole at his old university only to discover that he is in a hospital in Egypt. Princess Tenko, knowing how much his former teacher meant to him, tells Steel to go visit him instead of assisting in their act for that night. Steel also tells the Guardians that he was in search of a mysterious gem. Believing it to be one of the Starfire Gems, Tenko tells Steel they will travel to Egypt right after their show.

Jana and Jason ambush Ali in an alleyway. Jason uses his Mesmer-Disk to press Ali for information. Ali reveals what she knows about the gem known as the Star of Destiny in Egypt. The twins head to Egypt, and Jason uses the Mesmer-Disk on Professor Doole to learn more. Steel shows up soon after and asks about the tomb, though Doole had already given Jason his recordings.

The Guardians join Steel in the tomb, and Tenko senses the Starfire Gem nearby. She uses her magic to clear the rubble so the group can proceed, then phases through the wall to open the next door. Ali realizes that the door could only be opened from the inside and finds a skeleton lying on the ground. The Guardians continue on, but Ali accidentally triggers a trap door. They fall through the ground into a chamber that begins filling with sand. Bolt tries to calm the panicked Ali only for Jana and Jason to appear. The twins gloat and leave the Guardians to die.

Steel transforms and uses his magical bands to create a ladder for the Guardians to escape. Deeper within the crypt, Jana and Jason find the Cat's Eye Gem. Jana rips it from a statue of a Leopard and immediately uses the gem to try to see the future. Suddenly, several mummies emerge, and the leopard statue comes to life. Jana and Jason flee through another doorway. The Guardians find King Hepsut's chamber only to be attacked by the mummies. Steel, Bolt, and Hawk stay behind to fight the mummies while Tenko and Ali press on.

The mummy of King Hepsut attacks Jana, but she transforms and a fight ensues. Ali manages to get the Cat's Eye Gem from Jana while Tenko tries to reason with King Hepsut. However, it fails and Tenko summons the Golden Lion to defeat the leopard. Tenko fails to notice Jana and Jason grabbing Ali and escaping. Tenko finishes off the mummies and the ceiling collapses on King Hepsut.

Jana and Jason rush up the pyramid with Ali in Jason's arms. The Guardians race behind them, but Jason threatens to throw Ali to her death. Tenko is forced to give Tenko the Cat's Eye Gem in exchange for Ali's life, but Jana throws Ali off the pyramid anyway. Tenko quickly catches Ali while the twins transform into a dragon and fly away with the gem.

With enough distance between the twins and the Guardians, Jana and Jason split apart to use the Cat's Eye Gem. They see a vision of Tenko marrying Jason, though Jana grabs it before Jason could see himself.
