A Mummy Rises

Rating: Mature

Warnings: Violence, cussing

A/N: Hello all! Here is a Bucky fic that was inspired by the Mummy (1999). So I believe this would be a slight crossover fic. I hope you all enjoy!

Summary: James had escaped. Going through many obstacles to ensure he was never discovered. He took any odd jobs he could find to make it through the day. Until he got a deal that would set him up well. All he had to do was guard an ancient Egyptian city no questions asked. It went downhill and he was forced to go on the run again. Until he is asked to return to the city he escaped from. Despite all his instincts telling him not to go back, he was not about to watch a woman go running off into the unknown with only her brother for company. Life was about to take an interesting turn for him.

Chapter 1: The Cursed Sands

Beneath the burning sand a small caravan of trucks arrived at the city of Humnaptra. As soon as the vehicles came to a stop. Several men exited from the vehicles, one such man was a muscular six foot male. His blue eyes scanned the surrounding desert as well as the old ruins of what appeared to be an Egyptian temple. He was thankful that the heat didn’t bother him as much as it would a normal person.

“James! Help set up defensive positions around the outskirts of this place!” The commander of the Mercenaries called out.

James didn’t say anything back, simply nodding his head, before turning to the other men that were exiting the other jeeps. As he began to bark out orders for the other men, it was then he noticed the familiar skinny male slowly try to seemingly hide behind others.

“Beni! Stop hiding behind Mark and get your ass to the wall,” James barked out causing the thin sweaty man to let out a squeak as he replied back with a stutter,

“Y-Yes sir!”

James watched the man begin to scuttle to a nearby wall and began to set up his rifle in case they got attacked by any enemies. Once the men were in place James lifted his arms up and pulled his dark brown hair back into a loose ponytail at the base of his neck. James checked his tan colored bullet proof vest and as he did so he noticed a glint coming from his left arm, quickly he reached up, pulling down the long sleeve of his dark red shirt. He glanced around making sure that no one saw his arm before making his way over to the commander.

“I must say I am surprised Hamunaptra is still in relatively good condition,” He said looked around, however, James quickly spoke out softly,” The men are in position.”

The commander turned to glance at him, nodding his head as he replied,” Good. Go join them, our other entourage should be joining us within the hour.”

James said nothing, simply nodded his head as he turned and made his way over to the other men, taking his position along the decaying wall of old clay bricks. Within the next few hours more vehicles and men arrived. It was then that he noticed that everything seemed to be falling into place, however, he had a gut feeling that something was coming. Just then an alarm was sounded signaling that enemies were approaching, quickly, James went to the section of wall that he was assigned to. As all the soldiers quickly got to the wall, James could see hundreds of men upon horses with guns and swords.

“Men ready yourselves! These bastards are here to take us out and to steal our treasure!” The commander yelled from behind them.

“You better not run again Beni,” James muttered with a hint of irritation as the skinny man that was next to him.

“I won't. Your strength gives me strength,” Beni replied weakly.

The men waited for the signal to fire as the men on horses continued to rush toward them as soon as the command to fire was signaled, James quickly pulled the trigger and fired at the closest men that were to him. Out of the corner of his eye he could see Beni panic, throwing down his weapon as he quickly made a mad dash to the buildings that were behind him.

“Asshole,” James snarled as he finished the last few bullets in his magazine before quickly reloading his M four carbine.

Unfortunately, for James the men on horses had broken through their lines and the true fighting began. James quickly retreated back, at the same time he fired at any men that got too close to him. When his M four ran out of ammunition he quickly pulled out his M Seventeen handgun that was holstered on his right thigh and fired at the man that was approaching him on his left. Once the man fell off his horse James turned, running toward the nearest entry way, just as his sight was set onto the nearest dorm he could see Beni inside and as he got closer Beni closed the door in his face.

James punched the door with his left arm causing the door to fracture from where his fist met the stone door. James let out a soft growl before quickly ducking out of the way from oncoming bullets. James quickly ran left as he ran, he could hear the sound of hooves approaching him. He turned slightly to the left, firing his gun over his shoulder, killing two more men. Eventually, he reached a dead end where there was only an Anubis statue, just as James turned around he was met with several guns pointed at him. He clenched his gun tightly in his hand as he stared at the men dead in the eyes.

James then raised his gun quickly, just as he was about to let loose to fire at the men, their horses got spooked, throwing one of the men off its back while the others turned and ran away. As James stood there, gun still raised, unsure of what had transpired, slowly he lowered his weapon when he heard a strange sound from what he thought was coming from behind him. As he slowly turned he didn't see anything, only the statue, soon the voices slowly grew louder and he could barely make out the words of what was being spoken.

You will die. You will die.

James instantly went to raise his gun again when he was suddenly hit by a wave of sand. As he moved out of the way of one wave, he was struck again by another and then another. James managed to get away just to see a face with a gaping mouth become present in the sand. A feeling of evil slithered up his spine as put away his gun, turning to make his way out of the city of Hamunaptra. James did his best not to look at the bodies of the many men that were slaughtered upon the ground as he ran out the city. James knew he would have more nightmares within his sleep, if he got to sleep again, by the blood shed this day. James ran a good mile away from the city, but stopped when the feeling of being watched engulfed his being took over him. 

James slowly turned around, upon a large cliff he could see the outlines of several men on horses. Not wanting to fight anymore that day, James turned back around and continued to run into the slowly setting sun. James continued to run, not knowing where he was going, only that he had to find a place to rest and keep his head low. James eventually had to slow down to conserve his much needed energy, he watched as the last lights of the sun slowly ebbed away and he mentally prayed he would never have to return to the cursed city. Unfortunately for him, that was not going to be after all fate has a way to force one to face their fears and their fate.

Whew, finally done! Sorry it took so long, this is the largest update I've done yet clocking in at about 15 pages (compared to my usual 7-10). Also, congrats to those who guessed Todd for the distraction! Poor guy went through the last of his mystically preserved lemons just for this moment. What a bro.

Imagine accidentally moving away to avoid Kenji Sato’s kiss.

You did not mean it, of course. It was just instinct. Pure instinct of someone who had been single for so long.

He was your first boyfriend, and you are still not used to affection, especially, public display of affection.

It was a moment too late when you finally realized what you have done. You looked back at him, and he was just there.

Standing, mouth agape, surprised, and still processing what you have done.

However, before you can even utter an apology, you were met with a scowling Kenji, who is now walking towards you, stomping his feet, large hands cupping both of your cheeks firmly, and lips sealed yours with a searing kiss.

1, 2, 3… You do not know how long that kiss lasted but you know it was long enough when he let go of you— a panting mess, breathless, red faced, and lip swollen.

After that, he made sure to train you to get used to his affection. With a promise that the “accident”would never ever happen again between the two of you.

My brain literally would not let me rest until I got this out of my system, so here we are.

Okay, so - Future Donnie's canon design sure is a thing. I actually love the concept, mechanic aesthetic is great for Don, but I'm not crazy about the all-black waders/overalls they're just...they're a choice. Definitely a choice. So I figured it was time to update those old Future Donnie designs I made awhile back (which, surprisingly, weren't too far-off? I got the pants pockets right at least, lol)

Here are some of my own takes on the new look. I challenged myself to try and stay as close to the canon design's over-all (haha) vibe as I could, so they don't differ too drastically. Just a few alternative ways to do basically the same concept. For funsies.

***Zero disrespect intended towards Andy, for the record. He's giving us the content we've all been craving and he's the realest one for that! (Also, the overalls aren't that bad, tbh? I think it's just the all-black inking that makes them look kinda off in the preview image.) Still super excited for the full comic to finally be released AAAAAAAA!!
