Thomas the Tank Engine and The Mummy Returns

***Thomas the Tank Engine and The Mummy Returns*** is the second upcoming Thomas & Friends/The Mummy crossover to be made by Hiatt Grey. And it is the sequel to *Thomas the Tank Engine vs. The Mummy*.

## Plot

In 3067 BCE, the Scorpion King leads his army on a campaign to conquer the world. After fighting for seven years, his army is defeated while attacking Thebes and exiled to the desert of Ahm Shere, where his men die of heat exhaustion. After vowing to give Anubis his soul for the power to defeat his enemies, an oasis forms to hide the Scorpion King's pyramid and he is given a legion of jackal warriors in return. The Army of Anubis sweeps across Egypt, but once their task is finished, Anubis claims the Scorpion King's soul and his army.

In 1933, Rick O'Connell, and his wife Evelyn explore a ruined mortuary in ancient Thebes with their son, Alex, and our heroes, where they find the Bracelet of Anubis. In London, the bracelet locks onto Alex, showing him a vision directing him to Ahm Shere. Alex has seven days to reach the oasis, or the bracelet will kill him when the sun's rays shine on the Scorpion King's pyramid. And soon after an argument with Setsuna about attending a boarding school, Hotaru plans to run away.

Evelyn is captured by an Egyptian cult who resurrect Imhotep; they wish to use his power to defeat the Scorpion King, giving him command of Anubis' army to take over the world. The cult, led by Baltus Hafez, the British Museum's curator, includes hot-headed enforcer Lock-Nah and Meela Nais, the reincarnation of Imhotep's love Anck-su-namun. The O'Connells and our heroes set out to rescue Evelyn, accompanied by her brother Jonathan and the Medjai Ardeth Bay.

Hafez attempts to sacrifice Evelyn; a fight ensues between Rick and Imhotep. Imhotep calls on the help of mummified soldiers to kill Rick and the others. After freeing Evelyn, they flee on a double-decker bus with the soldiers in pursuit. After defeating them, Alex, Stepney, Chibiusa, Hotaru, and Diana are kidnapped by Lock-Nah, and along with the cult travels to Egypt. The O'Connells and our heroes pursue them to rescue Alex, Stepney, Chibiusa, Hotaru, and Diana along with Rick's associate from his past adventures, Izzy, a pilot, who provides the group with transportation while the team uses the flying ship they used to find Imagination Island.

The bracelet gives Alex directions to Ahm Shere that Imhotep follows. At each location, Alex, Stepney, Chibiusa, Hotaru, and Diana leave clues for his parents and our heroes, who follow in Izzy's dirigible. Imhotep uses the *Book of the Dead* to give Meela Nais the soul of Anck-su-namun, but by doing so he allows Evelyn to unlock the memories of her previous life as Princess Nefertiri, the bracelet's keeper and Pharaoh Seti I's daughter. Then while being locked up, Stepney overhears Splatter talking to Dodge that Diesel 10's secretly betraying Imhotep to use the army of Anubis to take over the world and also kill Sir Topham Hatt. Lock-Nah finds Alex, Stepney, Chibiusa, Hotaru, and Diana leaving clues, so Imhotep makes a wall of water that attacks the dirigible, causing the O'Connells and our heroes to crash into the jungle of Ahm Shere. Izzy stays with the dirigible in hopes of repairing it. By nightfall, the O'Connells and our heroes attack the cult, and both groups are attacked by pygmy mummies. Rick, Thomas, Usagi, Setsuna, and Artemis retrieve Alex, Stepney, Chibiusa, Hotaru, and Diana while Ardeth Bay and Haruka kill Lock-Nah. They escape the pygmies, who kill the cult members except for Baltus. Imhotep, Anck-su-namun, and the diesels escape unharmed. And Stepney explains the team of Diesel 10's plans.

Rick and Alex eventually make it to the pyramid at dawn, where the bracelet detaches from Alex's arm. Ardeth regroups with the Medjai in case Anubis's army rises. Anck-su-namun, soon stabs Evelyn, killing her, and escapes with Imhotep and the diesels. Rick, Thomas, and the Sailor Scouts determined to avenge the death of Evelyn, pursue Imhotep and the diesels. Baltus accidentally puts on the bracelet and revives the army. Anubis takes Imhotep's powers, wanting Imhotep to fight as a mortal. Rick, Thomas, and the Sailor Scouts find Imhotep and Diesel 10 summoning the Scorpion King and Rick fights Imhotep and Thomas fights Diesel 10. The Scorpion King interrupts them, where Imhotep and Diesel 10 tell him that Rick, Thomas, and his friends were sent to kill him. At the same time, the Medjai battle Anubis's army of jackal warriors. While Rick, Thomas, the Sailor Senshi, and the Scorpion King fight, Baltus is killed. Jonathan, the rest of the heroes, and Alex steal the *Book of the Dead* from Anck-su-namun, Splatter, Dodge, and Class 40 and use it to resurrect Evelyn, who confronts Anck-su-namun while Alex, the rest of the heroes, and Jonathan go to help Rick, Thomas, and the others.

The scepter Jonathan has been carrying extends into a spear that can kill the Scorpion King. The Medjai defeats Anubis' army, but have only defeated the vanguard; the full army charges toward them. Rick kills the Scorpion King, using the scepter, sending him and his army back into the Underworld, which causes the oasis to be sucked back into the pyramid. Rick and Imhotep hang above a pit that leads to the underworld. Evelyn risks her life to save Rick, but Anck-su-namun abandons Imhotep, who heartbroken chooses to fall to his death. Anck-su-namun, while escaping falls into a pit of scarabs, and dies. The O'Connells and our heroes reach the top of the pyramid, which is sinking into the desert. Izzy arrives with a modified dirigible and rescues the O'Connells and our heroes just as the oasis and the pyramid disappears completely. They depart into the sunset, with Ardeth Bay saluting them, before riding off. And Hotaru reconciles with Setsuna, and Setsuna tells her daughter that she does not have to attend boarding school and accepts Hotaru as who she is.
