10th August, 30 BCE

Alexandria, Egypt, the tomb of Cleopatra VII Philopator

"As sweet as balm, as soft as air, as gentle- O Antony!" exclaimed the Empress of Egypt, sitting upon a throne in her tomb, the only witness to her death the noble Charmian. "Nay, I will take thee too." 

This is where the world assumes Cleopatra had died. It was not, for as she breathed her last, two men carefully hidden among the golden chests of the tomb transferred her consciousness elsewhere. What happened next in Egypt is known to all. 

What happened next to Cleopatra, however... Now that's a different story altogether.

Duckburg, Calisota, home of Donald Duck

"Huey! Duey! Louie! Good morning!" he quacked as he got out of bed. It was Christmas, and he was in a good mood.

However, he heard no response, and angrily waddled to his triplets' bedroom.

He had just begun quacking angrily, when his jaw dropped.

His family had disappeared! Just before he could scream, however, two men hiding behind the turkey he had bought the day before, transferred his consciousness elsewhere too.

That, sadly, was the end of good ol' Donald as we knew him.

It was not, however, truly the end of good old Donald...

The bathroom in Graceland, Memphis, Tennessee, United States.

Elvis was in the john, humming "Jailhouse Rock" to himself. He had to go soon, he knew. Take a flight to Las Vegas, dazzle his fans.

He sighed dramatically. The price for fame...

Suddenly, he heard a movement. He jerked his head to look at its source, but by the time he had fully turned...

He was dead, his consciousness having been transferred elsewhere by two men who were hiding behind the curtains that separated the shower from the rest of the bathroom.

Soon, he was found dead in the bathroom, but as you should know by now, he really wasn't....

4th July, 1934 CE

Sancellemoz Sanatorium, Passy, France

Lady Curie was peacefully and slowly working on another radioactive element which she had discovered and was hoping could help with certain illnesses, when suddenly, it began glowing.

She let out a slow scream, and ran from it as fast as she could, and just managed to escape the explosion. One would assume that the woman would run from that room and tell everyone what she'd just seen, but with that annoying instinct of a scientist, she moved towards it once more. This element could be very useful and very dangerous, she thought. Suddenly, instantly, she collapsed of pure exhaustion. This was not the first time it had happened, but she found herself unable to get up, and slowly, she died.

Well, almost.

Two men hiding behind all the test tubes in that room transferred her consciousness elsewhere, just before she died.

Official date of death of Marie Salomea Sklodowska Curie: 4th July, 1934.

Actual date of death of Marie Salomea Sklodowska Curie: Spoilers!

The first spaceship, in low orbit around Earth

Kudryavka, better known as Laika, was the first living creature in space! She should've been happy, but she was just a two year old dog, and all she felt was panic.

Panic at these unknown surroundings.

Panic at where she was.

Panic at the unbearable, insufferable, excruciating heat.

She whined loudly, hoping someone would come help, but nobody did. How could they? They were on Earth, and she was all alone in space.

Suddenly, a huge woman entered the room and she snapped the dog's neck, ending her misery. Just before she died, however, she transferred her consciousness elsewhere.

She spoke into a transmitter, "All five have been collected. I repeat, all five have been collected. Over and out."
