Early the next morning, Salim and I got o  horses and headed into the canyon. "To the convoy. Follow me, this way!" Salim orders. "You got it!" I shout and we head towards the canyons. "Careful this is is narrow!" He said as we go through this narrow pathway.
"Salim, is it much farther?" I asked him. "We are nearly there. The convoy will be up ahead!" He said as we continue on. "There they are! The convoy is right below!" He shouted as we come on the cliff and see trucks and motorcycles driving down below. "We have to hurry!" I said. 

"(Y/n), save your bullets, they're too far away! They're out of range!" Salim tells me as we ride through the canyons to catch up with convoy. Finally, we get on solid ground and end up right behind the convoys. "Take these guys out!" Salim shouts as I pull out my gun and started firing. "My friend and brother are probably at the front!" I shout and he nods as he gets up to one truck and jump on it then attack the gunman.

I ride past them and get on a truck and find a missile launcher. I grab it and start to fire at a few of the bigger trucks while they try to shoot me. "Your truck is on fire! Jump!" Salim shouts and I get up and jump off of the truck and land on my horse just as the truck explodes. "Close one!" Salim said, laughing, and we started firing at some more of Marlowe's men.

But as we go through a canyon, a man jumps out and tackles me off of my horse. I groan as the man laughs as was about to come at me when a truck runs him over. "Ha! Roadkill." I said then Salim comes towards me. "Come on. Give me your hand!" He said and I grab his hand and he helps me up on his horse and we make our way back to the convoy as Salim's friend come and help. 

"There's my horse!" I said and Salim takes me over to my horse and I get up and jump on the horse. Then we get towards the front and to the lead car.

"Sully! Nate! You guys in there?! Nate! Sully!" I shouted just as the driver's door opens. The driver leans out and starts to aim his gun at me when Nate pops out and punches the man off of the car. "Nathan!" I shout and he looks over at me in shock while the passenger door opens and Sully pokes his head. "(Y/n)! You're alive!" Nate exclaims with happiness just as Sully goes and jumps to the other truck. 

But as he makes it on that truck, another guard comes up and grabs him. "Oh, shit!" I shouted. "Help me!" Sully exclaims as I go over to Nate. "Jump on!" I shouted at him and he jumps on the horse behind me and we make it over towards Sully. "We're coming!" I shout at Sully and we make it over to the truck. I go and jump on it and punch the guy that had Sully, who falls off of the side of the truck. But I grab his hand before he fell off completely. "I gotcha!" I shout. "I can't hold on!" Sully exclaims.

Salim, then, comes in and said. "Take my hand, I got you!" And Sully takes his hand and Salim helps him on his horse. I smiled until I was grabbed by the guard and he punches me in the stomach and kicks me down. I fall on my back and the man looms over me when I hear someone else jump on the truck.

"Hey, leave my sister alone!" Nate yells and the man turns around and they began to fight. I get up and see the crane above us then jump and grab onto the ledges of the crane just as the guard grabs Nate by the neck and holds him up. "Heads up!" I shout as I swing and kick him, making him let go of Nate. Then the crane swings over to the side. "Oh, shit! Hang on!" I shout to myself as the crane swings outward. 

"(Y/n)!" Nate shouts in fear then he jumps off of the truck and onto our horse. "Jump!" He shouts at me and I let go of the crane just as he rides under it and I land, safely, on the horse but behind Nate. The crane hits one of the canyons and knocks the truck off course and fall down the cliff.

We stopped, took a deep breath and I look up at Nate and smiled. Both of us get off of the horse and he goes to hug me, tightly. "Hey..." I said as I hug him back and pat his back. "Oh, man. I-I thought...." Nate stammers as he pulls back and looks me over. "Marlowe....she told me you were dead. And there was no way we were gonna find your body. I-I-I thought...." He stammered. "They what?!" I asked just as I hear another horse come up and see Sully stop and get off his horse.

"Well, I'll be damned." He mutters and I smile and go over to him. "Hey." I said and we hug as well. "You guys all right?" I asked looking between them. "Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. But--they told Nate and I you were dead. We only did this under duress, we didn't to lose anybody else." Sully said and I shake my head. "Well...I almost did. The pirate she hired to to the job, kept me alive and wanted me to tell him where Iram is. Long story short, got out of there...almost drowned. Then Elena and Cole helped me get on the cargo plane to get here." I said, smiling, at them. "So, how the hell did you find us all the way out here?" Nate asked me and I gesture over to Salim, who comes up to us on his horse.

"I had some help." I said and Salim holds his hand out to them. "Salim." He introduced as Nate takes his hand. "Drake." He said as Salim takes Sully's hand. "Sullivan. Thank you." Sully said. "We haven't much time. We cannot allow them to reach the city." Salim said.

"I don't know..." I started to say but Sully holds his hand out to me. "He's right, (y/n). Your brother and I have been trapped with those crazy bastards for days. I don't know what the hell it is Marlowe is after, exactly--but it sure as hell ain't treasure." Sully said as he gets on his horse. "We've got to stop 'em." He said. "(Y/n), we must go. Now." Salim said then he calls out to his men in Arabic while Nate and I climb up on our horse.

"Never a dull moment, huh, guys?" I asked them and the two men laugh. "Why change now?" Nate said and we, along with Salim and his men, ride across the desert.

"There! Straight ahead!" Salim said as we look and see a sandstorm coming at us. "Into the storm?!" Nate asked Salim. "Are you sure you know what you're doing, Salim?" I asked him. "Trust me, (y/n)! Trust me!" Salim shouts and we head into the storm and immediately we lose everyone.
"Salim!" I shout as Nate steers the horse around. "(Y/n)! Where are you?" I hear Salim shout but I couldn't see him. "Sully! Sully, stay close!" Nate shouts as we see Sully come over to us and we ride deeper into the storm.

"Where's Salim?" Sully asked us. "We must've lost 'em!" I exclaimed when our horses stopped and wouldn't move. We unmount them and Sully tugs on the reigns of his horse, but it wouldn't move. "It's no good. Let 'em go!" Sully said and the horse run off the other direction. "They must know something we don't." Nate said and we start to make our way through the storm.

Eventually, I was able to see through the windy sands and gasped. "It's the convoy! Hang back, boys. I'll go check it out." I said. "Oh no! You're not doing this by yourself! I'm coming with you!" Nate said as he follows me. "You sure?" I asked him and he nods at me. "Alright." I said and we make our way through the wind and see a couple of guards. 

"How we supposed to find anyone in this storm?" One man asked as Nate and I jump on the guards back and break their necks. But then another guard saw us and began open fire and we grabbed those guards' guns and fired back at them.

"This can't be the whole convoy. There's not enough of them." Sully said as he comes up to us. "Must've gotten separated in the storm. Come on." I said as we come upon ruins of a gate and building.

We come upon more guards and take them out, once again miraculously not dying...but that is our Drake luck.

"Okay...that's all of them." I said, once we were done. "Thank God." Sully mutters as we come up to the large building. "This is it. We made it." I whispered as we run up the steps and get in through the opened door.
"C'mon, let's get inside." I said and the three of us get inside and Sully shuts the door.

"Holy shit..." Sully said in awe as we look around at the large ornate room. "Wow...." I whispered in awe. "Look at this place." Nate said as we go up another set of stairs. "So it really does exist." Sully said. "This is amazing." Nate said. "It's enormous." I remarked. "Sure would hate to have to polish this." Sully said.

I look around and saw a ladder on the side and began to climb it, which lead me to a lever. I look at then look across and saw another one. "Nate, there's a lever over there!" I said as I point at it. "On it!" Nate said and he starts to climb his way over to it.

"You ready?" I asked him after while. "Yep." He replied. "Go!" I said and both of us push down the lever at the same time, making the large door open, revealing the city. Nate and I laugh as does Sully. "Ha, ha...it worked!" Sully exclaims. "In the words of Victor Sullivan, I'll be go to hell." Nate said and I laugh as Nate and I make our way down.

Once we get down, we head towards the open doors and see the large city of Ubar.
"Holy shit!" I said in awe again. "It's true, it's really here." Nate said as we walk down the steps. "Oh my God!" Sully said. "Boys, welcome to Ubar." I said as we go down the steps and head over to the right into a room with a large fountain, filled with water.

*Nate's POV*

"Incredible..." Sully said. "This is how the city could...thrive all the way out here." (Y/N) said as we come upon the fountain. "The whole place must be fed by an underground spring." I said and I cup my hands in the water and begin to drink from it. "It's clean." I said. "It's amazing it's still running after all these years." I began to drink some more from the water as Sully and (y/n) splash the water over their faces and necks. 

Suddenly, the yellow light, emitting from the sun, turns red as we go over and see an eclipse. "Now that's a hell of a thing...." Sully said until I heard two gunshots. Sully's and (y/n)'s eyes widen at this and I look between them. "What--" (y/n) mutters before her and Sully fall over. "No!" I exclaimed and I see Talbot, Marlowe and a guard on the other side. Talbot and the guard had their guns raised before they smiled at me and walk away.

"No...please." I begged as I look over Sully and (y/n). "Sully." I muttered, his eyes staring blankly at me. Then I go over to my sister and turn her head to me, her eyes also staring at me blankly. "(Y/n)....please...no." I said. I stand back up and back away in shock and horror, two people I care and love are dead in front of me. 

No, I can't lose them!

I can't lose Sully!

I can't lose (y/n)! I already thought I lost her once, I can't lose her again!

I shake my head then look over to see Marlowe and Talbot go into this large elevator-like device and enter it. I glare at them and start to make my way to it. The guard stayed behind and began to fire at me and I fired back, I don't care. My sister and Sully are dead!

I killed him but what was odd about him was once he died, he was at first some weird demon-like creature and vanished into thin air. "Whoa, what the hell was that?" I asked, confused, and I make my way to the elevator, enter inside of it and the elevator goes down.

Once it stops, the door opens and Talbot stands there, smiling. Then he throws a smoke bomb towards me. "Talbot! You come back here you son-of-a-bitch!" I screamed, angrily, at him as I chase after him. "You're dead! You hear me you're dead! You come back here you..." I shouted and I chased him towards what looked like a dead in, but there was no sign of him. "What? Where did he go?" I asked as I look back behind me and see a familiar street.

"This is impossible. Where the hell am I?" I asked as I walk along the streets and I realized why it looked familiar. "This is Cartagena....I haven't been here since (y/n) and I were kids." I said then I heard some noises behind me. "Oh shit..." I muttered and I turned around to see those bugs scattering along the buildings and began to chase me.
"Oh no!" I shout and I began to run away.

"This can't be happening!" I exclaimed as I run and slam into a door and make my across some familiar roofs. Then it started to be the same route (y/n) and I took when we were running away from Marlowe's men twenty years ago. Only difference was that (y/n) was not there with me.

I run and jump across the roof when a suited man grabs me and I push him off of the roof. I run and fall towards the edge then back up. I turn around and see Sully holding (y/n) in front of him, who looked like she did when she was a kid, aiming a gun to her head. "What?" I said, confused, as I pick up the gun in front of me. "No, no, no, no...no!" I said as I fall backwards and aim the gun at him. Then he shoots (y/n) in the head and turns the gun on me. I gasp as I see my sister's body flop on the ground then I fire at Sully, until a bright light shines in my face.

"Stay away, please." I said as now I'm in a completely different area. "Oh no, what is this?" I asked as I get up and walk out of the elevator. "Everything, everything's moving. I gotta get out. What is this? What is happening?" I asked as I make my way around. I don't know where I'm going or where the hell I am! It's all so confusing.

Then I heard a noise and I turn around to see some demon guards. "I'll kill 'em. I'll kill you! You killed my sister and Sully! You killed them!" I growled in anger as I began to shoot and kill them. I'll take down everyone of these bastards, if it's the last thing I'll do.

"This can't be real. No, it can't be real! I gotta get out!" I said, desperately, as I shoot at more of these demons. Then I go into a room with a empty pool inside. I go over to a lever and water started pouring out into the pool. "What is that?" I asked  as I see something white in the middle of the water. I go towards it and pull but then I look down to see another me, who grabs me and throws me down into a green light.

I groan and get up as I see I'm still in this pool room. "Oh my God..." I said, freaking out a little, and I start to make my way around the room and down some stairs. "Oh, there they are." I said as I come up to this open window and see Marlow and Talbot with their crew, going into this other building.

I start to make my way towards them, while also taking out a few of their guards that were standing in my way. Two guards started coming towards me when a grenade hits them and they blow up. "Huh? What the hell--?" I started to asked as I go into this room and walk slowly inside of it.

"Nate, is that you?" A voice asked and I stopped in my tracks. No, no, no...that can't be... I thought as I look around and see (y/n) and Sully walking towards me, alive.

*(y/n) POV*

"Oh, thank God." Sully said with relief as we see Nate standing there, looking like he just saw a ghost. I set aside the grenade launcher and go over to him. "You all right?" Sully asked him. "Man, we had a hell of a time--" I said, relieved, when Nate aims his gun at me and I stop in my tracks as I look at my brother, frightened. 

"Whoa! What's the matter with you, kid?" Sully asked Nate. "How do I know you two are real?" Nate asked us. I hold out my hands and slowly walk towards him before I go and grab his gun then pull it away from him, slowly and gently. At that moment, I punch him in the shoulder.

"Ow!" He exclaims in pain then he starts to rub his shoulder. "That real enough for you?" I asked him and I go put his gun in his shoulder holster. "Don't ever point a gun at me or Sully again." I said, firmly, as Sully comes up to Nate and pats his back. "I...I saw them shoot you and Sully...right after the eclipse...." Nate said to us and Sully and I look at him, confused.

"What? What eclipse?" I asked, confused. "Look, kid, you went nuts right after you drank from that fountain. It's the water. That's what destroyed the city, not The Wrath of God." Sully explained as Nate goes and takes a seat on a nearby bench. "The whole water supply is tainted with some sort of hallucinogenic agent. Must've drove everyone mad. I think it's what Marlowe and Talbot are after" I said and Nate looks up at me.

"Oh, man, yeah...Remember Cutter said, they control their enemies through fear." Nate said and Sully let's out a small chuckle. "Oh, this'd do it, in spades. But wait, it doesn't make any sense--how do they think they're getting the water out of here?" Sully asked and I gasped as I realized something. 

"No, it's not the water--it's what's in the water." I said and Sully looks over at me. "Come again?" Sully and Nate asked, confused. "All right, listen, just bear with me for a second--Salim told me that Iram was cursed when Solomon imprisoned the evil spirits of the Djinn inside a vessel of brass, and then cast it into the depths of the city." I explained.

"A genie in a bottle." Sully and Nate said, questioning. "I know it sounds pretty crazy." I said. "So, you reckon that's why Elizabeth and Dee sent Francis Drake out here in the first place." Sully said and I nod. "Yeah. It wasn't treasure they were after, it was power. Only once Drake realized what he'd been sent for, he abandoned the mission. He lied to the Queen, told her he didn't find anything, and then hid all the traces of his voyage." I said. "Rewrote history." Nate whispered and I nod towards him. "Exactly!" I said.

"Well--who are we to argue with Sir Francis? Whaddya say we head down there and end this thing, once and for all?" Sully asked us as he helps Nate to his feet. "Hell yeah." I said as Nate nods at us then we start to make our way out of the room and towards Marlowe and Talbot.
