The Scorpion King 3: Battle for Redemption Page #5

are fleeing for their lives,

we will soon have

the head of Cobra!

And from here we

will build an empire

that will stretch all

the way to the desert.

Who goes there?

Inform the king that we have

returned with his prize!

Sire,

you have guests.

Bring them in.

Come forward.

What a pleasant surprise.

I thought you were lost in battle

along with your objective.

Caution, Sire. The... Silence!

Very impressive!

And so is that, if that

is what I think it is.

Our task was made

a bit more difficult

with your creatures

from the underworld

killing everything

that breathes.

I know.

They are not very particular.

You just point them in a

direction and you let them go.

Apologies for any hardship.

Well, now that you have Princess

Silda and the head of Cobra,

you can apologize

with more gold.

Of course,

and well-earned.

Plus, an invitation.

To a wedding!

Or an execution.

Either way, it's a feast.

What shall it be then?

Wedding it is.

Fantastic.

First thing in the morning.

And I don't think we need

wait for wedding spoils.

Do I have a choice

in that matter?

No.

I mean...

Play along there, brother.

We knew this was

going to happen.

We have to focus

on the task at hand.

Yes! Yes!

Olaf, is this how you focus?

Oh, Mathayus.

So Silda was right.

The Book is in the treasure

chamber under lock and key.

And judging by the looks

on the guards faces,

I would say that thing

is in there with them.

Oh, don't brood, brother.

It was your plan after all, and a

great one at that. Look at them.

Don't worry. He hasn't

tried to bed her yet.

You've seen her.

Would you wait?

Excellent point.

We'll toast to her then, for her

sacrifice in the line of duty.

May I?

Ahh. Woman.

Not me.

Olaf, it's time for battle.

Olaf!

Olaf.

Oh, God!

I hate you, Mathayus.

You get the Book,

I'll get the medallion. Go!

What could possibly

be taking so long?

How much more

beautiful can you get?

Oh! That much!

Kindly pardon my exuberance.

You're excused.

Where are you, Mathayus?

So much for pleasantries.

Now that the sword

is unsheathed,

it is time to Pierce the flesh.

Pure poetry, My Lord.

Yeah, I know.

Let us not rush

through this important Eve.

We should really enjoy the

remainder of the day.

Mathayus!

After all,

this will be my last

day as a maiden of purity.

Mmm.

Take me now, My Lord.

Take me!

Hurry up!

Now would be a good time.

Well, have patience, My Lady.

It will all be

over soon enough.

Did you touch her?

Did you let him touch you?

Best I ever had.

Tsukai!

Nighty-night!

Adventure of a lifetime.

What a farce.

Give me the medallion.

The signal! Attack!

I command you to obey me.

As you say, My Lord.

No! You have to recite the incantation

to switch their allegiance.

What?

Oh, women!

Now you tell me.

Now that's what

I call treasure.

I want the

medallion. Now!

Don't follow me!

Finish them!

With pleasure.

Go get Talus.

The medallion is our only chance.

Leave this witch to me.

Okay.

Okay. Come to papa.

Oh, it's heavy.

Good.

Not good.

Hi.

Talus wanted the Book.

No?

You can't do that!

He's not!

You fight well, mortal.

Perhaps we'll take you with us.

Spend eternity with two mindless

brutes and their pet witch?

No thank you!

You want Mathayus, but he

will never stay with you.

He is one of the

darkness, like us!

He only wishes to die.

And you are Cobra.

Your deception is the poison

that is killing your people.

Move it!

Missed me!

The Book!

You sure you don't

want to go that way?

You might have a chance.

You should know better than to

back an animal into a corner.

Who's gonna save you now?

You know what?

The Book of the Dead already

courses through my body.

I don't need this trinket.

Go ahead. Let them have me.

Let them devour me.

I will rise again like a bad

idea, and you will be crushed.

You first.

You've been a worthy adversary.

Olaf.

Well, come on!

My Lord,

the warriors of the Book

are at your service.

I'm sorry I deceived you.

Please forgive me.

There's nothing

to forgive, Cobra.

I am proud of you, my daughter.

With honor,

we join you in battle.

This battle is over.

At least it is for me.

My people are in good hands.

Father?

Father!

Father!

My champion.

You've done well.

Is there a problem?

Do you need more gold?

Consider it done.

It's not that, Your Highness.

I actually have

some gold for you.

These are the fortunes

of your brother, Talus,

minus the expenses it will

cost to repair this land.

They're rightfully yours.

I don't understand.

I could've easily retrieved

it from the palace myself.

Probably not a good idea.

Meaning?

With all due respect, Your

Highness, you're not welcome here.

These people will no longer

accept foreign rule.

Now, they are grateful

for everything you have done

to help them to be free,

but they are willing to

fight to stay that way.

Will they now?

Well, since they have sent you as

their messenger, tell them this.

It's not their

decision to make.

I have not come as their messenger, Sire.

I have come as their king.

You expect me to accept your claim

to the throne, uncontested?

I expect nothing

more than your respect.

For myself and for

the people of this land.

Now, if it is a fight

that you are looking for,

then you shall have it.

You surprise me, Akkadian.

I thought that you had traded in your

royal nobility for a few sacks of gold.

I had.

But now, if need be, I'm willing

to trade my life to get it back.

I believe you.

And whether I give you

my blessing or my blade,

I respect you.

But I must confer

with my generals.

When you are the king,

the concerns of the realm

come first and foremost.

But you already

knew that, didn't you?
