The desert is now in total upheaval, severe sandstorms, littered with lighting brew and swirl
around the source where it all comes from. The two warriors, muscles flexed out to their bursting
points from their natural state. Their primary weapons are primed, positioned and ready to strike and
snarls curled up to the gumline. These two ancient warriors from totally different times, ready
themselves to fight to the death despite their immortality. All the while as the disaster looms over the
region. A trickster and the god of destruction are waiting in the sidelines to watch the two destroy
each other for means of petty revenge, all for an act the hulking anubian warrior did many centuries
ago.
Days ago, Set and Isis were talking to each other and Isis can still sense the bitterness that
lingers in him for so long, all because of the acts of an over-zealous warrior has done without complete
disregard to his feelings and bravery.

It started thousands of years ago with Set has his eyes set on a beauty that lives on the Nile and has grown a fond interest in her. But being a god and her a mortal
would make things... difficult. However, when he musters up the strength to meet her, she is already
taken up by Imey days ago, He is already powerful and by the ladies standards, very sexy too with the
power the woo any woman he wants and he did away from Set, not once acknowledging that he has
feelings for her since then but it was too late.
There was no way for him to actually directly fight against Imey. While a reckless flirt, Set
would not stand a chance. In terms of physique, it would be like fighting a bull on steroids with a twig.
With his near-invulnerable hide and powerful weapon Apep, the only thing that can take him down
is a warrior of equal or greater power. That's when he has an idea and turns to a trickster for whom
recently has been around the world exploring the exploits of other gods from other lands. Isis has the
answer. Isis the goddess of trickery of the Egyptian world, at least what she is known today, turns to
Set and asks of why does he bother her with such inquiries of that event many years ago, she knows he
doesn't stand a chance. Set agrees but he can be defeated by proxy. By someone else that is just as
strong as Imey. Isis follows his idea and is suggesting that she uses her “travels” to know of such a
warrior.

There is in the northern lands of a trickster but unlike herself and others, is also a very
formidable warrior who has fought to save this world from dangerous dark forces wanting to seize this
world. If this being is capable of stopping a world-destroying event, surely is capable of taking down
the Nile's mightiest warrior. Now comes the part of the plan where they need the two to fight. What
does Set know about Imey so far. His answer that he can often see through any scheme, including
Set's and can shrug them off just as easily except in times where he can be mentally or physically
overwhelmed. Isis knows of this foreign warrior's motivations are mostly driven by challenge's and
danger that has the potential to harm her friends and loved ones. Set oddly thinks that someone like
her would have friends, as in mortals? Isis confirms this and this gives Set and idea that can force this
warrior to come and fight Imey.

With that in mind their plan is set in motion, all they need, is an invitation.
The days that followed, The Dark Kat Racing Company has arrived in Egypt on a special
invite by very rich benefactors to host a show at Cairo. Setting everything up at an open arena,
Jennifer Aslan already has plans to put on a show that no one will ever forget. However on that night
before the big show, there was a break-in and a scream coming from one of the rooms where her crew
members are. Jennifer ran to the rooms and sees that everyone is accounted for except for the team's
oldest member Aldo “Paps” Bernouilli, he's one of the earlier members of the team and the chief
mechanic of all the vehicles the company has. There was little evidence of the kidnapper except for a
large, mystical dagger that is written in hieroglyphics and reek of the magical essence of a warrior.
Who ever this freak wants with Paps, he's got it. Jennifer orders the team to continue the show
without her and get the police to investigate. As for her, it's time for her to get a change.

Meanwhile, Imey was in practice with his mighty sword when suddenly Isis arrived at his
chambers with a better challenge that will help improve his fighting techniques. It is a golem that can
fight faster and harder than he can and all he has to do is to catch up with it. For several hours, Imey
has fight against this golem and it has proved to be a real serious workout as his muscles are feeling
bigger than before. But the training is also putting a strain on his mind, without a moment to rest his
mind wanders. But the golem won't stop for him until Imey has had enough and summoned the full
power of Apep to break the golem apart. The exhaustion and power sapped out of him made him
collapse on the ground leaving him wide open to Isis's suggestions. With a powerful spell, she put into
the anubian's mind a horrifying vision of a powerful goddess coming in from the north who will
destroy the ancient lands unless she is stopped. Imey tries to understand it all but the visions will not
let him but command him to do it. When he awakes, the mental picture of that goddess is burned into
his mind.

Rocketing through the desert road and following the glyphs on the dagger, Launa is on the
right course to finding Paps and saving him from whatever this monster has in his mind. Paps is having the greatest time of his life! Surrounded by beautify and busty matrons that wait on him hand
and foot, totally unware of what his boss is about to do behind the scenes. Imey meanwhile doesn’t
believe the so-called premonition that haunts him of the being that will come and destroy his home,
what would this being gain from such a feat? But that thought came too late for him as he can sense
this being presence coming from the north just as the thoughts says it would. He readies his sword
and comes out of his chambers to face the threat. But this being didn't come in through some magical
transport or through dark vessels, but in a monster motorbike. Strangest of all, it is a human riding it.
The rider swings her bike to the side kicking sand at Imey and leaps off the seat to land on her feet.
Imey shaking off the sand angrily demands of who she is to make such an insulting entrance.

This woman however doesn't make introductions that subtle, it is perhaps it is the fact that she
appears before him in her human form. Magically manifesting her mighty axe in her hands, the
human reveals her true form before the anubian. Now standing equally tall to him, packed to the
brim with heavy muscles and a bust that can beat any woman in the harems of the region. The figure
announces herself as Launa, the warrior trickster and it will be the last thing that he will ever know of
her unless he gives up what he has taken from her. Imey doesn't know what she is talking about but
knows that he will not let her come and destroy his homeland. The two warrior's patient is starting to
wear thin as their demands go unanswered. While this is going on, Set and Isis appear from a safe
distance and are ready to enjoy the ensuing battle that will soon follows. It is amazing that these two
fools have no idea that they are the ones behind the plot and the only thing that can break this is if
that mortal were to find out about it.

With storm clouds brewing, sand upshot into the air and the mighty muscles of the warriors
begin to bulge and tense as they held their weapons tight in their hands and they clash. The sound of
the first strike echoed for miles as blades strike and the two began to fight. Imey slices Launa across
her right thigh and that brings her down to receive a hard right to her face that brings her down hard.
She takes the axe just when Imey is ready to drop Apep on her neck and stabs him through the chest with the pointed end of her weapon and flips him to smash his skull on the ground. Imey recovers but
then gets a back kick to the chest that sends him streaming down the sands and into the river.
Meanwhile, Paps can feel some quakes shaking the floor but it doesn't disturb them one bit to say the
least as one of the ladies feeds him soft grapes. He only wishes that Launa is here to enjoy this. But
the goddess is too busy getting thrashed by the beast's bare fists punching her side to side. Launa
blocks one fist and grabs the other to twist it down, bringing him down with it and brutally headbutts him.

All the while, Set and Isis were enjoying the show and watches them grow ever more tired and
tired, at least from their point of view but they are actually getting stronger by the second. Their
clothes are slowly growing tight, but their minds are unware of what is happening to their bodies.
And that build up of energy is causing seriously dangerous disasters in the surrounding area.
Earthquakes, blinding sandstorms and the river going into a total upheaval. Launa and Imey can not
see the disasters swirling around them but only each other. Their eyes burn a bright white as their
minds wander from their purpose and only focused on the fight where only one will get out of this
alive. Set and Isis notices this even as the catastrophes are growing stronger by the second and he
turns to Isis to know what is going on, sadly she has no idea and this little plan to get rid of Imey is
starting to have serious consenescences.

Imey and Launa's bodies quickly explode out of their clothes as their muscles balloon to titanic
sizes, His pectorals are blowing out faster than Launa's even to push out her breasts more. Arms, legs,
back and neck thickened more than a tree trunks and each foot step is shaking the ground they walk
on. Set and Isis know this has gone far enough and their plot is going to get them killed. Then
suddenly Ra shows up to see the fight and is furious when he sees that Isis and Set are involved.
They don't have a clue of what is happening to them, but he explains. He sees this case
happen time and time again involving magic based warriors who grow blind in rage need to get
stronger to defeat their opponents. But seeing that the two equally matched beings fight, they will make themselves stronger through their blind rage and that turns into magically manifested muscle
turning them into walking time bombs without a means to release that energy. Isis fears of what
would happen if they don't stop. Ra knows: they will explode to which Set thinks this is a good thing
but Ra angrily tells him that the explosion would be so great it would not only destroy them but
everything from here to the western edge of the Mediterranean. The two realizing the magnitude of
their act beg Ra to stop this, he can not. The only way to prevent this cataclysm is for them to actually
stop fighting. He demands to know what caused this in the first place and Isis rats out to Set that he
planned the “kidnapping” of the cat-woman's closest friends and made a fake threat that Imey will kill
him if she loses in order to get rid of him.

Ra orders Set to recover this person while he will “stop” them personally. Set resists at first but
the sun god's cold stare made Set comply instantly. Set then leaps from his spot right into the air and
in seconds lands in the middle of the two hulking titans but the blast of energy knocked him off his
feet from his failed attempt to stop them with his arms. But then he felt his own arms bulk and swell
with huge muscles before shrinking back down. He then realizes that these two are already on the
brink of exploding and can't be stopped but he can at least lessen the explosion by absorbing the
energy into him. It was a risk the mighty sun god is willing to take and finds the right time to get in
between them. When the opportunity shows itself, Ra charges in and grabs both Imey and Launa's
head and directly pulled the energy from them and into his body. The rage magic flowed into his
body like a fire hose and every muscle in his body rapidly inflate into severe and grotesque sizes.
Ra is in severe pain from the growth but has to hold it just long enough to make these two less
dangerous when they explode. The mindless warriors can feel the energy both reaching critical levels
faster than Ra is pulling it out. The sun god can feel his head get swallowed in a wall of muscle
surrounding him and can feel the two are about to explode. He has only one option before his own
body consumes his head and it is to release the energy out of his mouth. Ra, Imey and Launa scream
and roar as their bodies went critical and ultimately explode.

Isis screams as the ball of light consumesher, the pyramids she stands on and moves outward into the city. During the show, the Dark Kat team
without their lead mechanic and leader stopped immediately to see a giant ball of light heading this
way and the crowd sees it as well and are thrown into a panic. But the light consumes them as well.
The ball expanded ever outward until it reached the Mediterranean. But then it just stops and fades
away. Everything the light thought would have destroyed remains totally intact and everyone
survives. Meanwhile at ground zero. Launa and Imey have also survived and their bodies have
returned to their normal size with a loss of a few hundred pounds while Ra himself gained extra
muscle as a result of siphoning and releasing the energy. Dizzy and weak all three collapsed on the
now burnt ground.

Imey is in shock and anger at what he has learned and wants to destroy Set and Isis for putting
up this horrible deed, the same goes for Launa. Ra however has already delivered their just
punishments. Out from the chambers Paps was finished with his fun and is suddenly embraced by
Launa. He tells her that he is alright and always has been since. Launa asks if they had hurt him in
any way, but he was actually fine and was treated more like a king than anything in his life. Except
with all the shaking going about. With their minds completely cleared and misunderstandings freed,
Imey does hope that the next time they come to the nation, it wouldn't have to end like it did before.
Launa wondered if all the rage magic is gone from their bodies. Ra assures her that it is and now that
they are aware of it. They will control it to prevent their bodies from overloading. For Ra, he likes
having the bigger rage muscles after that experience. Paps and Launa leave, Imey and Ra are enjoying
their bit of payback of watching Set and Isis repair the damage to the land caused by their petty
revenge. Any resistance was met by two even hulking dieties Which helps make them work faster.

The End

A L T E R N A T I V E ENDING

Launa stands with her side beaten and her face messed up from the thrashing Imey has given
her still her mind focused on the message of that this monster will do to Paps if she doesn't defeat him.
But his strength and toughness are too much for Launa to handle. Imey on the other hand has duty by
his side and will prevent this woman from hurting those he loves, though he has no idea why she
fights him in the first place neither does Launa, as they are both fighting under a total lie just to
destroy each other. Imey gets a hard punch that sends him back a couple yards. Imey frustrated with
this fight angrily tells Launa that that pathetic mortal means nothing and will deal with him after
dealing with her. That sets Launa off and with clenched fist and charges in at lighting speed to give
Imey an upper cut to the chin that made a sonic boom and sends him flying across the sky and right
into the two gods path that the two ran out-of-the-way and he hits the side of the chambers where
Paps is.

The violent shaking disrupts his euphoria and asks the ladies of what is going on but they say it
is nothing. But the shaking is still too intense for him to ignore and he wants to see what is going on.
The harem tries to block his path but he manages to cut through them and into the corridor leading
out of the chambers... and right into the battle. There Paps witnesses Launa fighting against a large
dog-like being with their weapons. He has no idea what is going on but he knows that the harem has
something to with it and gets an answer out of them. It was too easy for the girls of the harem to
confess that they want to keep him here as part of Set's plot to have Imey destroyed by someone who
is just as strong as him. Paps has to stop this. The harem stops him begging him not to interfere but he
has to and runs right into the field stop Launa. Waving his hands out and yelling as loud as he can,
Paps is trying to get Launa's attention but she is too busy holding Imey back. Isis and Set see the
mortal out on the field, If Launa sees him then his plan is ruined.

Set runs down and grabs Paps by his wrists and picks him up off his feet. Not daring him to
ruin his plan that is until he hears the stern, growling voice of an angry trickster looming over the two
of them. Launa grabs Paps and puts him down and then delivers a lighting-fast roundhouse kick to the
chest that sends him flying into the wall. Coughing and gagging, Set gets back up, but is then grabbed
by the throat and dagger pressed against his neck. Launa angrily demands what is he doing with Paps.
Set however wants to know how did she know and still fighting Imey at the same time. She knows that
the writing on the dagger message doesn't match that on the big dog's sword. And his on-and-on talk
about protecting his homeland draws her to the conclusion that he doesn't know he has Paps. In one
point of the fight as she was picked up by her ankles and slammed into the ground, she cloned herself
and searched high and low while keeping Imey busy.

Launa then asks while tightening her grip around the god's neck what was he doing with paps
to bring her down here in the first place. Paps begs Launa to let him go and get out of here but not
until she gets an answer and also to make sure that no god will come near her or her friends again.
However Imey grabs the fake Launa and deliver a powerful bear hug that made it explode in a puff of
smoke. Looking around in a rage, he sees Launa with a mortal human but doesn't see Set, Imey then
charges at full speed with Apep in hand. Paps sees this and tries to stop him but he would not listen.
Imey then leaps into the air and gives his battle cry, but then as he looks down to aim his sword. He
can now see Set in full view, bring the terrible realization that he has something to do with this and is
falling uncontrollable down to the mortal. Launa drops Set and gets in between Paps and Imey as he
comes down fast.

Launa screams as Apep is slammed into her chest and out her back, along with the full weight
of a musclebound anubian the two stumble. Imey foots his landing but Launa stumbles and lies on
her side gasping for air. The energies of the sword fire into Launa, giving her excruciating pain.
Apep's power can only be held by its original wielder and letting go of the sword during the tumble
displays it's many defenses. Launa grabs the end of the sword in her attempt to pull it out but the painand the energy makes it hard to move. Imey then steps in and the both of them pull the sword out. It
feels like the mythical sword in the stone, except the stone is her own body and the sword resists
coming out. Imey and Launa flexed their muscles out hard, adding more push to the sword and it
begins to move slowly. To add leverage, Launa tells Imey to put her foot on her abs and really pull it
out. The power of the sword grows great even to defy its master but the power is easily overcome by
the power of its master. In a blast the sword is finally free and Launa collapses from the shock.

Paps ran to Launa to wake her up because she stopped breathing and then she suddenly gasps
for air as her organs and massive scar slowly but surely heal. Launa then looks to Paps and takes him
in for a huge hug. Paps is happy that she survived that but Launa is far more happy that no harm
came to him. Imey then turns to Set, Isis has run away when this plot started to unravel long ago and
with his sword aimed to him he asks a question in four words. “What. Did. You. Do?” Imey and
Launa stand side by side and he offered his apologies for what happened. Launa accepts and since
from what Paps told her, it wasn't as bad as she thought it was. Imey does wonder how does she know
that this was all Set's plan. She didn't but did see the writing on the wall, her knowledge of hieroglyphics.

She hands Imey the dagger with the message still attached. It reads:
“I am Imey, warrior of the delta, scourge of empire and the manifestation of death itself, for
millenia I hunger for worthy opponents to keep my hunger satisfied and I found one in you. Your
exploits knows no bounds and its time that I 'test' you to see if you quench my thirst for action.
However I can see you're not the type of woman who will take a challenge out of the blue, so I have
taken the liberty of taking one of your 'pets', your mortal humans under my captivity. Here's the deal,
if you're a real warrior, you will fight me. Defeat me, and I will let you and your pet go. Lose, and it
will be my pleasure to let you watch as I kill your mortal and you. The choice is yours, trickster.”Launa means no offense to Imey, but he doesn’t look like the type of character that would
make such a cheesy message like this. The other thing that gave it away is that during the fighting, she
still sees two figures in too close distance of the fight. Most mortals would just run away but the two
stayed, leaving her to think that those are fools or the real perpetrators behind this scheme. The last
was simply a matter of getting caught in the act when Set was holding Paps, stopping him from
revealing the truth. It's the nature of a trickster to find out about these things. Imey is impressed and
asks about the human.

Normally they would be fearful of being in the presence of gods, Launa
assures him that he is one of the few that she can trust that's why she's willing to fight for him even if
it's a plot set up by one of his. Besides, he's used to having a giant musclebound half-human for a boss.
She asks of what he will do to Set now that all is revealed.
Imey knows what to do with him, saying as he looks back at set bound by chains forged in the
strongest of alloys. Made to hold gods like him. Again Imey offers his apologies and hopes that his
experience would hurt any future relations between them as fellow warriors. Launa accepts and feels
that he means no real harm. His passion for protecting his people is admirable but it wouldn't hurt
next time to think of the impending threats before he acts. With that the two parted ways Launa and
Paps leave on their motorbike back to Cairo hoping to do damage control on the show she is forced to
leave. Offering fans a second show the following week that will be better than ever.

Even Imey showed up to the show to see her just a great stuntwoman as she is a formidable warrior.
As for Set, after learning the full details of what made him go do such a thing, he was taken to
the authority of Ra in which he will receive the proper punishment. For the next 500 years, he will be
the servant for his personal harem who he'll wait on them hand and foot. It's cruel to be surrounded
by women who he won't have a chance with but it serves him right. This only made Set's resentment
even greater and when his sentence is done, he will have his revenge on both him and Launa and will
end them once and for all. But for now, he has a pile of dirty laundry to wash.
