The next morning, the slaves were forced to work and build the temple with construction. One wrong move and they get whipped. Prince Adrien was still being taught by his father's assistant to read the hieroglyphs and their history on the walls.

"Cleopatra committed suicide with the snake venom that killed her. I get the drill" Adrien said with boredom.

"Yes but after that the Roman Empire briefly claimed our kingdom," The assistant said.

"Until a few of my ancestors claimed it back," Adrien said, wanting this to be over soon.

"Yes, bringing it back to its former glory," The assistant said.

Plagg came into the throne room to be with his master, "Hey my boy" He petted him, "Can I leave now?" He asked.

"Of course," The assistant said.

"Thank you" Adrien finally leaves with his panther, "Finally. Thanks for getting me out of boredom, Plagg"

Plagg nodded and nuzzled his owner's waist.

"Heh, I wish I was like you to have freedom. Big cats are very sacred to their goddess" Adrien said before noticing his ring glowed, "What the?" Adrien saw a paw logo appear. Suddenly the voice of the feline goddess appeared.

"Prince Adrien of Egypt" She spoke out.

"Aaahh!!! Who said that?" Adrien exclaimed.

"It's me, Bastet" Bastet said.

"Oh, mighty goddess!" Adrien quickly bows, "If I can see where you are than hearing your lovely goddess voice"

"I cannot be seen, mortal one. But I can give you instructions in your head" Bastet said.

"Okay then" Adrien nodded.

"The ring gives you the power of bad luck. All you got to say is claws out" Bastet instructed.

"Okay. Claws out?" Adrien suddenly transformed into a cat-themed man.

With a pharaoh-like black crown with cat ears, green cat eyes, a golden shoulder collar, transparent black arms with claws, a black skirt with a long black strip like a cat tail, and his weapon the sais dual swords.

"Wow! I look great!" He checks the bronze mirror.

Plagg was impressed too at whatever really happened to him.

"I feel purrfect," Adrien said.

With Marinette, she was overheated in the scorching sun being forced to do all the work or get whipped to death. The guard kept watching her. Unfortunately for her, she collapsed in exhaustion and she couldn't take it anymore nor did her body get enough strength to move.

"Get up! You're not done yet!" The guard raised his whip.

"You know it's very cruel to treat a lady that is exhausted and you stand around doing nothing but whip slaves out of shape" A black cat-themed Egyptian man sliced the whip with his dual swords.

"What the?! Who are you?!" The guard turned.

"I'm the Black Sphinx!" Black Sphinx said.

Marinette weakly wakes up from her exhaustion but then time around her seems to have frozen everyone in place.

"Huh?" She gasped.

"Don't worry, child. It's not permanent. It is I, Khepri, the god of the morning sun" The god said everywhere but his voice was heard.

"Where are you?" Marinette walks away from the frozen guard talking to the frozen cat man.

"Forgive me but I cannot reveal myself in front of a mortal. But you, mortal. Do you want to free your people from the pharaoh's wrath? This is your chance to do it" Khepri said in her head.

"I'm not a chosen mortal, mighty god. I'm just me, nothing special but to get whipped until I join Anubis. How can I possibly free my people when the Pharaoh controls everything?" Marinette walks out from the open.

"Because the earrings you found yesterday, will give you the strength to be more than just plain you," Khepri said.

"You mean these?" Marinette points at her ears.

"Of course. All you have to say is spots on" Khepri said.

"Okay," Marinette nods before time resumed.

"Okay, just say the words, and my prayers get answered. Spots on?" She said and red flashed her body.

Her long bob-cut hair now has a headband with a red and black spotted scarab, a red mask with black and gold lined spots along with an Egyptian eyeliner, a dark blue shoulder collar, a red and black spotted top that stops to her ribs, and a red and black spotted skirt with a dark blue strip around her waist like a tie, and Egyptian sandals. Her main weapon is the yo-yo.

She looked at herself in amazement, "Wow, I'm like a red scarab" Marinette said.

"HA-HA! Come on! Cats always land on their feet! Egyptians worship cats!" The cat man was fooling around with the guards.

"Not this demon cat like you brat!" The guard said.

"Geez, is he really that cocky? Whoever he is, he looks just like the pharaoh. Royal brats are always selfish" She decides to go and help him before he loses his nine lives.

The cat man fought against two guards on his own after freeing slaves dragging a large sandstone brick.

"Time to feel the wrath of this cat!" The cat man kicks the guards down.

"Need a paw, son of Bastet?" The red scarab woman swung her yo-yo at the guards.

"And who are you, lovely lady?" The cat man asked her.

"Red Scarab, cocky cat. Next time, don't get ahead of yourself" Red Scarab was not used to his cocky attitude.

"Well call me the Black Sphinx, nah, doesn't work, or does it?" He replies to her.

"Works for me, Kitty. That is if you know any riddles" She swung her yo-yo to fight more guards before they sent out a message to the pharaoh.

"I hope" Black Sphinx then smashes the cart for the messenger. The horses went out of control as they galloped.

"Give up!" Red Scarab said.

"You brats are ruining the work of the pharaoh!" The guards said.

"This is for the good of the people by Osiris!" Black Sphinx yelled in anger.

"And in reality, this is abuse and torture!" Red Scarab said.

"I will not be undermined by two freakshows dressed as the gods!" The last guard was not willing to give up.

"Ooh, you upset the rules that your people worship cats and scarabs! Punishment is so cruel" Black Sphinx growled.

The nearby slaves cheered for their new saviors. Black Sphinx heard them and saw they were happy they got freed by him and Red Scarab. For now, there are millions of slaves to free than just this location.

"Pound it!" They fist-bumped.

"Meow, you're so puuuurrrrretty. If we ever meet again, we can have a lovely hang out" Black Sphinx kissed her palm.

"As if. I don't hear a riddle coming from a Sphinx. Are you sure you haven't grown wings yet?" Red Scarab asked, rolling her eyes from his flirting.

"Okay here's this riddle, what's scaly, has sharp teeth, and loves to live in water?" Black Sphinx made his riddle.

"Is it the crocodile?" Red Scarab guessed.

"Correct" Black Sphinx confirmed the answer.

"Too easy and lame, feline. That was an awful easy riddle coming from you" Red Scarab sneered.

"Hey, I got nine lives. It's a start. By the way, it was very cute of you how you fight. I never seen women fight in wars" Black Sphinx flirted, "Meow"

"Well, I don't know what came into me," Red Scarab said.

"Maybe luck or my sweet little charmeowing. I can't wait to see you again, wonder lady" Back Sphinx makes a big leap to head back home.

"May Amun-Ra be with you" Red Scarab swung away.

Later that night, the Pharaoh was beyond angry that two god-like themed teenagers ruined everything to nearly free the slaves.

"How could these two take down the guards by ease?!" He asked the messenger angrily.

"They were superhuman, your majesty! They were strong and agile!" The messenger cowardly said.

"And did you say they looked like a cat and a scarab?" The Pharaoh wondered if he heard correctly earlier.

"Yes, sir. We worship cats and scarabs. Technically they are kids, not actual animals" The messenger said.

"I waited years to find the Book of the Dead to get my wife back! Now I have bigger problems! Who are they called exactly?!" The pharaoh yelled for an answer.

"They call themselves Black Sphinx and Red Scarab" Replied the messenger to him.

"I see. These two might foil my plans to find the book. I've searched everywhere!" The Pharaoh ranted about his plan getting interrupted.

"What are we gonna do, your majesty?" The messenger then wondered.

"Make sure the guards don't let them interfere with freeing the slaves!" The pharaoh yelled again.

"Yes, Your Highness!" The messenger ran away.

In Adrien's room, Felix was very impressed that the goddess chose his cousin to find a way to free the slaves but he also had the freedom to be himself rather than be a prince to follow the rules of royalty.

"You met a girl but she wore a mask too?" Felix said.

"Yeah, with the power of Khepri himself," Adrien said.

"The god of the morning Sun?" Felix guessed.

"Yep. That's right. She had this yo-yo thing the people of Greece invented hundreds of years ago" Adrien describes her weapon.

"Wow, and your weapons were what?" Felix asked.

"Just my swords," Adrien said.

"I was expecting something deadly like cats with claws" Felix shrugged.

"Me too, but, oh, well" Adrien just shrugs.

"So you want to meet her again but you have no idea who she is. You're so blinded by beauty, cuz" Felix rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, but she doesn't seem interested in me" Adrien lay on his bed.

"I told you that flirting and impressing a woman only makes them annoyed, cuz" Felix facepalmed.

"I can't help it, man. She was so beautiful than Nefertiti" Adrien said with a lovey sigh of wanting to meet her again.

"If only you knew who she is" Felix replied.

"Maybe one day" Adrien looks through the window.
