So, this is my Inspirational Challenge #59. I won't give much more than this pic, so work with it.
What comes into your mind when you look at this pic and read the text? What do you think?
Is Buffy the Slayer, or something else?
How was she involved in this?
Is The Evil Imhotep or someone else?
TIP: This is a BTVS (AU?) / The Mummy OR Mummy Returns (AU?) crossover

Is she aware of her 'status,' or does it have to do with the First Slayer and maybe this is her desert? (Post S7 I'm assuming.) But maybe it is during her death, and the warriors have to find some way to temporarily call her from death to help defeat the evil. Maybe it is Anaksunamun's (spelled wrong probably) lover that is the bad, her maybe he actually has to work with the good guys this time. Maybe that is why the three Mummy 'good guys' aren't here...

Well, the Madji were warriors for God that were used to protect the Pharoah in ancient Egypt. What if the Slayers were warriors of light that were created to protect the relics of the ancient times? It would make sense, considering that three wise men made the Slayer from the essence of a demon. I have been using this idea in another ficlet of mine, but what if when spreading the Slayer love the knowledge accumulated through centuries was spread through the Slayers starting with the top?
Or perhaps Buffy was in Cairo on vacation when she suddenly comes across someone that gives her an intense feeling of being bad, such as a newly reincarnated Anck-su-namun. When Ardeth Bay suddenly comes out and attacks this woman, she begins to realize there's a hell of a lot more going on than she thought. He sees that she is fighting something and realizes that she is indeed one of the few remaining of the protectors of the relics, which is precisely what Anck-su-namun is after. If she recovers it, the evil of the Mummy will return, along with the army of both Anubis and Horus (the hawk-like God). Commanding the greatest army on Earth, the Mummy guy would soon overcome it... and it's up to Buffy to find the truth about what the Slayers really were (they could have had some cool name like the Medji, too, perhaps) and save the world... again.
About Ardeth, I see him more as a guide. Of course, it would be fun to see Buffy leading an entire army of men into battle against that of the Horus/Anubis guards. Not to mention it would be a hell of a battle for the new Slayers to fight, so this should be post Season 7.
Wow... ideas floweth with this one. Must stop now.

Hey, don't stop now, you're doing so great with the ideas!  Your ideas sound really interesting again. And you actually gave me an idea for another Insp. Challenge. Ok, about this challenge: If I remember correctly, timeline of the Mummy-movies is 1930 or something. Do we just skip that little tidbit, and pretend that Mummy and BTVS timelines are the same? BUT, if we use the Mummy timeline, how Buffy ended up there? Is Buffy really the Buffy we know? Or is she something else? Like, is she the real Buffy, and the Buffy we know is the incarnation of the Buffy in 1930's. Does this make any sense? |

Okay, when my fingers start typing fast, I tend to ramble.
*slaps forehead* I knew I forgot something! Timelines... there is the past, and there is the PAST. It gives me quite the headache.
I was thinking that since Buffy is the defender of a lost relic, there is one Medji warrior remaining. He finds Buffy during her trip to Egypt and gives it to her and the next thing she knows, she is in monochrome, black-and-white 1930s Egypt. I think this could be an alternate The Mummy Returns quite possibly. And Buffy is still sent to find the lost relic, which was lost when she returned to the past and that alone can send her to the future again. She will learn that the Slayers in ancient times had protected these relics until only one remained and it alone could bring back the Mummy guy.
So, when Buffy goes back in time, she returns as a changed Buffy. Did that make any sense? Or not... I do not know. It is late and I am getting the urge to ramble more.

Good idea, but I would think that the medji guy has not aged or is from teh past, and Buffy (having ditched the scoobies cuz of thier betrayel[but that's just me]) is traveling the country finding slayers and training them quickly or something gets to Egypt (or somewhere) from wither a vacation or some relic or from more fate/destiny crap messing with her and screwing with her mind.
Or maybe she is hanign with Lily when, as they enter the portal, it gets messed up and sends her to the desert. Maybe it's the desert of The First Slayer, and the new evil mummy dude is invading her territory; or maybe it just sent her to the past.
Are the O'Connels involved this time?
*Can you please re-post your pic at the tpop. It has the X in the corner and isn't showing.

Actually, what I was thinking is that most of the medji have died off now that the threat of the Mummy has gone and that the Slayers alone remain to carry on their hidden "destiny". Only one medji remains (not Ardeth Bay, but perhaps a descendant) to tell her of this true destiny she has - to protect something special from the Mummy.
I had another thought... what if Buffy or someone she knows was related to the O'Connell's? That would bring them into the story if she knew about them from the start. Perhaps she is searching for a British Slayer who is suddenly kidnapped into Egypt that is the O'Connell's granddaughter and Buffy gets caught up in the search for a relic which suddenly turns into a trip in the past?
If Anne is involved, she could always be a traveling companion. If Buffy is stabbed in the back by her old friends, she wouldn't look past the ancient ones. Two lonely women Thelma-and-Louise-ing it in Egypt sounds like a hell of a party.
ETA -> the picture's link is broken - aka the X appears - when the bandwidth on the site where her pictures are hosted is exceeded. In other words, they may sometimes blink out when used too often. C.C., if you want a secondary place to store them, I'll offer my domain. It has (apparently) endless bandwidth.
ETA II -> What if Anne was the one related to them? It just occurred to me.

Sorry, about the 'broken' pic-link thing. Fortunately when the bandwidth limit is exceeded, you can see the pics after some time. The bad thing is that my Insp. pics are quite large, so the bandwidth will go over quite often.
I'm thinking about re-locating the pics somewhere else or put them two or three different places.
Hmmm... That Thelma and Louise trip sounds quite good. What if Buffy and Anne are travelling somewhere in Egypt, and then some strange things starts to happen... (what?) And then they maybe find out about their ancestors. Anne's is descendant of O'Connells, and maybe Buffy is descendant of... Who? And I have always liked Ardeth Bay, so we gotta have him or his descendant there.

Lily could be an O'Connel descendane, and Buffy could have the Slayer history in the desert-maybe the desert of the slayer is the one that the Mummy is in? Or she could always be a far off descendant from a medji or soemthing, and things can take off from there...

Ardeth Bay would be a better guide, I suppose. The first Medji and the first Slayer could have been identical twins or something, which would mean that Ardeth and Buffy are related by destiny, but not by blood. If you're looking for someone who could be related to him, I would suggest Faith, or even Dawn. Dawn would have been created with the likeness of Buffy but with a destiny similar enough to that of a Medji.

True. I wouldn't want to use Dawn on this, maybe Faith, but none of the basic scoobies, Buffy not included of course. Maybe she has a past life (possibly as a slayer) in the times of Anucksunamun, Imhotep, and Evelyn's past princess. Like, maybe she was Evelyn's literal body gaurd or soemthing...

Oh, I like that idea... Buffy is a reincarnated bodyguard who happened to serve the Pharoah's daughter (and I suppose she would have served the daughter that eventually became the Pharoah?). It would give her PLENTY of reason to despise the Mummy/High Priest man, and it would certainly give her a reason to fight. Especially if, when on vacation, she starts getting odd flashbacks like Evelyn did when she was Nefertiti.

This idea sounds really good. Could past-Buffy has been also Nefertiri's bestfriend or something? How well 'Buffy' liked Anck Su Namun? Did they hate each other? At least I would assume they did...

I do not think it would have been hate as much as distrust. Pretty much the only person who saw Anck-su-Namun as an evil person was Nefertiti, but what if the only one who actually knew the truth was her entrusted bodyguard?

As a thought, Buffy might have trusted both girls (Nefertiri and Anucksunamun) like the Pharoah, and then when it turned around and stabbed them in the back, she could have had reason for revenge, but I like the idea of Buffy never having trusted Anucksunamun better.
