God Seth
The gods were getting angry that they witnessed a mortal summoning the evil gods they exiled centuries ago. They hoped for the chosen ones to stop this. The Pharaoh called Set to give him much power like Anubis but much darker to destroy these teenagers that the good gods granted them.
"Set, grant me the power of violence, storms, desert, and disorder!" The Pharaoh raised his arms.
"Then so be it," Set said as smoke surrounded the Pharaoh, "But be warned. There's no going back!" Set warned.
"I have nothing left to lose!" Pharaoh said with rage.
"Then it's time to create chaos!" Set smirked.
The god of the sky and sun witness what his uncle is doing. It wasn't a good sign ever since his uncle killed his father Osiris, "I have to warn the other gods and the two heroes" Horus used his wind powers to teleport over to Alexandria.

At Alexandria, Marinette was sneaking at the market to get food. Alya already met a soldier named Nino who was not like any other soldier to follow orders. He was against his boss' orders to keep slaves in check but had to put up the act. Marinette was able to have good luck on her side as she snatched grapes from the market to eat.
"Mmmmmm.... yummy" She loved the taste.
"Move out of the way, losers! Respect my presence or my servants will chop your arms as punishment!" Princess Chloe making her way with her servants.
Marinette hides from her in an alley to not get picked on, "Not that snotty princess"
"Give me that apple, spoiled brat!" Chloe forced her servant to take the apple from a very young child.
"That's mine! Give it back!" The child tried to take it back.
Marinette growled in anger and decided to fight back as Red Scarab, even if it meant getting involved. Taking something from a 7-year-old child is just wrong.
"Spots on!" She transforms and rushes out to confront the princess, "Hey! I'd afford some manners if I were you!" She snatched the apple from her.
"What an utterly ridiculous attire for a loser! Get lost!" Chloe said with rudeness.
"I'm Red Scarab and I bring peace and justice here!" Red Scarab tossed the apple back to the kid.
"Thank you, mighty goddess!" The child bows.
"You're welcome" Red Scarab smiled sweetly.
"How dare you play goddess! Guards, arrest her!" Chloe demanded.
"Not on my watch!" Red Scarab spins her yoyo and strikes at them.
One guard she wraps it around and throws him at two other guards, "If you want to see respect, learn to respect yourself first!" Red Scared glared at the princess.
"Do you know who I am?!" Chloe complained.
"Yes, a heartless princess!" Red Scarab said.
"Meow, what do we have here? Someone has been very selfish to an innocent child" Black Sphinx was in a cat-sitting pose on the rooftop.
"Well, hey there kitty cat" Red Scarab looks up.
"Hey, bugaboo. From what I see is a selfish spoiled princess brat who likes to treat everyone as doormats. I never like selfish brats" Black Sphinx jumps down.
"What the?! A cat guy?!" Chloe backed off in shock.
"You know the rules. Everyone worships cats and scarabs" Black Sphinx extends his claws that he is very serious.
"Oh, puh-lease! Everyone adores me!" Chloe said.
"I think not," Black Sphinx said crossing his arms.
"Let's ask everyone. Do you all adore her for the way she snatched an apple from a child?" Red Scarab asked the people.
"Of course not!" Said a peasant dressed in gray and blue.
"That was unfair!" Said a woman in purple next to him. More joined the two heroes.
"How dare you all! I'm the princess and you're all supposed to obey!" Chloe shouted.
"We're not your servants!" Red Scarab stands her ground.
"If you want to remain pretty, I suggest you leave or my claws will do a makeover for your face" Black Sphinx warned.
"You wouldn't!" Chloe gasps.
"I hate royal brats thinking they have power over everything. Only a God is mighty enough to be worshipped. Start moving or my claws will. Take your pick before I choose" Black Sphinx growled impatiently for her to leave now or get clawed.
"Guards! Get me back to the palace, away from those pests!" Chloe ordered her servants.
"That's what I thought" The feline man chuckled at her scared reaction.
"Bad Kitty" Red Scarab chuckled at this.
"Thanks. I wanted to claw her face but I know better than that. It was to scare the hell out of her to get out" Black Sphinx getting petted by curious kids to think he's a cat god.
"Here kitty kitty" They pet him as he acts like a cat.
Another child has a gold disk to reflect the sun to make a dot light to tease the kitty.
"Meow!" He leaps after the dot.
"Oh, come on" Red Scarab chuckled.
"I'm having this emotional need!" Black Sphinx whined in desperation.
"Aww....what a cute kitten entertaining the kids" Red Scarab snickered at his torment.
"Oh, you just wait, Bugaboo" Black Sphinx kept chasing the dot.
"Okay, kids. He's had enough" Red Scarab said.
"Okay," The kids stopped what they were doing.
"That was hilarious, Kitty" Red Scarab said.
"Give me a break. That was cruelty for a cat" Black Sphinx rolled his eyes that he was not amused.
"Alright. Come Black Sphinx" They got to the rooftops.
Time around them has stopped since another god has come forth. There stood a man with a bird head.
"Horus?" They recognized him.
"I have chaotic bad news! Set has entrusted the pharaoh with the dark powers of Anubis!" Horus warned them.
"Oh no!" Black Sphinx was shocked at what his father had done for bargain.
"That's not good! What the bloody hell was he thinking?! Set is a trickster! An evil god!" Red Scarab exclaimed that this was bad news, "We will stop him"
"What really happened?" Black Sphinx asked.
"Set granted him dark powers just like the gods granted you. The pharaoh cannot reach the lost city that has the location of the book. If he gets his hands on it, Egypt will not be safe from millions of undead rising. Without balance for the dead to reach the afterlife, they will remain undead" Horus said and showed the location of where the Book of the Dead is hidden.
"Got it. But it seems we have to travel through the desert" Red Scarab said.
"In the scorching heat until we die of thirst. Yeah, that's a challenge. We can't leave the slaves tortured to death" Black Sphinx said.
"They'll survive as long they have hope, Black Sphinx and Red Scarab," Horus said.
Black Sphinx had to find a way to not cause suspicion to his father. He thought for a moment to cover up what he was missing. Felix is identical to him so maybe he can pretend to be him.
"I gotta do some stuff before we depart," Black Sphinx said.
"Me too. Lord Horus, is there a map you can give us so we don't get lost in the Desert? Please?" Red Scarab said.
"Here it is" Horus creates a map.
"Thank you," Red Scarab said.
"If we do get there, is there something we should worry about?" Black Sphinx asked.
"Once you're there, there may be dangers appearing to protect the book" Horus said.
"Hopefully Anubis knows we are not ready to be dead yet," Black Sphinx said.
"The people need us to have faith and hope," Red Scarab said.
"And they are counting on both of you" Horus flies in the air to return to his place.
"See you soon, Red Scarab" Black Sphinx went back to the palace.
-
At the palace, his father informs that he is 'not well' and Adrien knows it was a lie but can't say it to his cousin about this. But he had to tell him his plan of using the same trick they did as kids.
"A journey with your lady? You don't even know beyond the desert sands that will heat your body and die" Felix refused to hear his cousin's quest.
"We'll have shelters and besides I might get to know her more," Adrien said.
"This is more insane than your father's control of slaves" Felix pacing back and forth.
Adrien does his puppy eyes at him to agree to take his place like they used to do as kids.
"Oh, geez, how big can those eyes get?" Felix failed to resist.
"Remember how many times you lose against me? Why not try to be me and learn my world of hell?" Adrien getting sassy as always when it comes to changing his cousin's mind.
"A lot. Fine I'll take your place but there will be consequences" Felix said.
"You always said you believe in Horus your only favorite god with a bird head that guides the winds of Egypt," Adrien said, packing his things he will need to survive.
"But he never chose me like Bastet chose you," Felix said.
"Maybe he will, that is if you are pure-hearted to believe there's hope like I always hoped for a miracle to put an end to slavery and bring two sides together," Adrien said.
"We shall see," Felix said.
"Come on. When was the last time I ever did something for you?" Adrien chuckled.
Felix ate a peeled-off banana and thought of one thing, "Well, when we were young, you always got me out of trouble when your father thought I messed up the carvings on the wall"
Adrien snatched the eaten banana and took a bite, "And now it's your turn to do something for me"
"Of course. Hey!" Felix realized he wasn't holding the banana.
"Half for you and half for me. We both have twin moms. You're lucky that my father refused to marry yours" Adrien said.
"Other wise we'd be brothers," Felix said.
"But we are the only sons with no brothers or sisters. It gets lonely when being an only child" Adrien said before tossing the scroll of his daily schedule as a prince.
"Yep," Felix agreed, reading through.
"And just don't get caught. My father once said he won't be fooled the second time" Adrien said before calling out to transform.
"Alright. You can count on me" Felix said.
