Chapter 1
Egypt was filled with Germans and Italians. The Second World War began three years ago with Germans invading Poland. Four people riding camels arrived in Cairo and stopped at a bar. They headed inside and saw a German soldier drinking.
“Hey, you four,” the drunk German soldier shouted. “Identify yourself!”
“Sit back down, lad,” the person with glasses demanded.
“Ay, ‘lad’…don’t talk to me like that!” The German soldier then pulled out his pistol. “I ought to…”
The blonde woman shot the German soldier. The bartender ducked behind the bar table.
“Damn it, Dodie, I had him,” the Scottish man with glasses said.
“What were you going to do, John?” Dodie asked. “Talk your way out of this? You do like to flirt with women.”
The bartender peeked his head out.
“Stoker, calm him down,” Dodie commanded.
“Are you okay?” Stoker walked up to the bartender. “We are here to meet someone named George Sapkowski.”
“He’s…in the back.” The bartender pointed at the back door. “Are you the Valkyrie Squadron?”
“Yes, sir,” John responded.
The Valkyrie Squadron headed to the back room and met Sapkowski.
“Who are you four?” he asked.
“I’m John Doyle. These are Dodie Tolkien, Rick Clancy, and Thomas Stoker. We are the Valkyrie Squadron. Are you our contact?”
“That would be me.” Sapkowski turned on the projector. “So…you are the Valkyrie Squadron. Now…we are here to stop this man, Nazi general Johann Puckler.
The projector showed a picture of a man in his fifties wearing a high ranked German uniform.
“Nice chin,” Rick commented.
The projector filled, revealing Puckler and a German scientist with glasses.
“Alongside German scientist Alexander Hertzog, Puckler joined the Nazi Party in ‘36 and then the Afrika Korps last year.” Sapkowski was drinking a cup of tea. “They are at a tomb two hours away from Cairo.”
The projector filled again, revealing a picture of a tomb.
“This is the Tomb of Anubis,” Sapkowski revealed. “It is rumored that the Egyptian god of death, Anubis, created a box almost five thousand years ago. We will head to the tomb tonight. That is when Puckler arrives in Cairo.”
“How are we going to get in?” Clancy asked.
“We’ll need a disguise,” Dodie answered as she pulled out a pack of cigarettes.
Chapter 2
It was 6 PM. Valkyrie Squadron and Sapkowski arrived at another bar. There were twenty people in total including the three waitresses and three bartenders. The five then sat at a table.
“What can I get you?” One waitress walked up to Valkyrie Squadron’s table.
“We’ll take some tea,” John said. “Oh, and a date, sweetheart.”
“No, thanks,” the waitress replied as she walked away with their order.
“Ha, nice, love,” Dodie commented. “I’ll give you tips on women. Not.”
Sapkowski looked out the window and saw German vehicles pulling up. One of them, a Mercedes-Benz 770, was the vehicle that Puckler was in.
“Don’t freak out now,” Sapkowski whispered. “Our guests are here.”
Puckler and twelve of his German soldiers headed inside the bar. Everyone stayed silent. Puckler walked up to the bartender.
“I’ll take some whiskey,” he demanded with his German accent.
The bartender pulled out a shot glass and a bottle of whiskey. He accidently spilled the bottle. The whiskey landed on Puckler’s boots. He grabbed the bartender’s shirt.
“These were my favorite boots,” he angrily said. “I oughta use you for Projekt Darkness.”
“Please, General Puckler, don’t hurt me,” the bartender said in fear.
“Last chance. Give me a whiskey.”
Puckler let go off the bartender’s shirt. The bartender poured a shot of whiskey. Puckler drinked it and walked off.
“You both.” Puckler pointed at two German soldiers and headed out of the bar. “Stay here in this bar.”
Valkyrie Squadron looked outside. Two trucks and the Mercedes-Benz drove off.
“Alright, we’ll take out two of those soldiers and steal their outfits,” Clancy whispered.
“Was geht hier vor sich?” One German soldier walked over to Valkyrie Squadron’s table.
“Burn in Hell,” Clancy replied in German. “Dummkopf.”
“We have an idiot in a bar,” the German soldier called out in German, attracting the other soldier’s attention.
“This guy?” the other soldier asked. “Der mit dem Schnurrbart?”
“Ja.”
“Let’s take this outside, you two.” Clancy got up and walked outside.
The two German soldiers walked outside soon after. Valkyrie Squadron and Sapkowski watched the fight outside. Clancy punched the first German soldier in the throat and the other in the face. He then grabbed a brick and knocked them both out.
Valkyrie Squadron and Sapkowski walked outside.
“Now we have disguises,” Clancy said.
Chapter 3
John and Clancy grabbed the German uniforms and quickly put them on. Dodie, Stoker, and Sapkowski hopped into the back of the truck.
“Clancy, you never told us you knew German,” John said.
“My grandmother was German and Jewish,” Clancy replied. “She moved to America before my mother was born.”
Stoker then picked up a grenade. “I’ll take this.”
“Everyone, stay silent in the back until we are in the clear at the tomb,” Sapkowski said in the back of the truck.
John hopped into the driver seat while Clancy hopped into the passenger seat.
It was now 8 PM. Valkyrie Squadron arrived at the Tomb of Anubis by truck.
A German soldier walked up to the truck. “Name?”
“Stahl,” John answered.
“Kruger,” Clancy then answered.
“Get to your posts,” the soldier commanded.
“Danke schon,” Clancy replied.
Clancy stopped the truck near the tomb. Valkyrie Squadron got out of the vehicle. Clancy and John changed back into their normal outfits.
“Here comes Puckler,” Sapkowski said quietly.
The Valkyrie Squadron hid in the truck. Puckler walked by.
Sapkowski peeked. “Okay, he’s gone. We’ll split into groups. Stoker, you’re with me. You other three, explore the tomb as well.”
There were two halls inside the tomb. Clancy, John, and Dodie went left while Stoker and Sapkowski went right.
Chapter 4
Clancy, John, and Dodie stumbled upon a room filled with gold cups, gold armor, and gold swords.
“Are the Germans wanting to be the richest party in the world?” Clancy asked.
John found a torn piece of paper on the ground.
May 12th, 1942. My name is Doctor Alexander Hertzog. I have been at the Egyptian tomb for a year now, and I still do not know how to unleash the power from the “Box of Anubis” as it is called. The Fuhrer will be pleased if the legends of its powers are true: to raise the dead.
“They aren’t being rich, lad,” John said. “They are raising the undead.”
“Undead?” Dodie questioned. “That is unbelievable.”
“This page is from the diary of Doctor Hertzog.” John walked up to Dodie with the page. “The Box of Anubis! Anubis is the Egyptian god of the dead! Do you not remember that?”
Clancy walked up to John. “Look. It’s just a myth; the Germans are stupid. They stole the Spear of Destiny in France, because it was used to pierce Jesus Christ himself!”
“Clancy, lad! That is Christianity; this is Egyptian! The world is about to have a war with Germans and the undead! If we don’t stop them nor seal off the tomb to where no one can get in, they will release an army onto Europe and maybe even America!”
“You dummkopfs aren’t going anywhere,” a voice called out.
Clancy, John, and Dodie turned around and saw Puckler, Hertzog, and a group of German soldiers.
Chapter 5
Clancy, John, and Dodie were held captive by German soldiers.
“The Valkyrie Squadron are so stupid, thinking you can stop us,” Puckler said. “This is great. Valkyrie Squadron is here to see this! Once we open this box, the undead will truly ravage the world.”
“You’re crazy, lad,” John yelled.
“Open the box,” Puckler commanded in German.
The German soldiers walked up to the Box of Anubis. Suddenly, a gunshot went off. One German soldier was seen dead on the ground.
“Yeah,” Stoker yelled.
Stoker and Sapkowski were hiding behind an ancient coffin.
“Get up here,” Sapkowski shouted at Clancy, John, and Dodie.
Clancy grabbed an MP40 and got behind cover at the right hall. John and Dodie grabbed pistols and got behind cover at the left hall.
“You will not stop me!” Puckler yelled as he and Hertzog opened the Box of Anubis.
A bright light was shining. The corpses in the tomb all rose and roared.
“Yes, I will be…” Puckler was then bitten on the arm. “Ah, mein arm! Mein Gott!”
The resurrected corpses began ripping Puckler limb from limb as he began screaming. Hertzog was next; his head was taken off by the undead.
“Moj Boze,” Sapkowski said in Polish.
John, Clancy, and Dodie ran towards Sapkowski and Stoker.
“Stoker, do you have that grenade?” John asked.
“Yeah, why?”
Valkyrie Squadron ran outside of the tomb. Stoker threw the grenade in the tomb. The tomb began crumbling. The giant rocks blocked the entrance.
“Ah, that’s over,” Dodie said. “What’s that over there?”
The Valkyrie Squadron saw a couple of trucks heading towards them. They arrived. British troops ran up to them.
“Captain Thompson,” John said. “What are y’all doing here?”
“We were heading to El Alamein. We heard an explosion and drove over here. We’ll give you a drive to our camp.”
“Thanks,” Stoker said.
Valkyrie Squadron headed to the back of one of the trucks. The driver drove them to one of their British camps.
