      Kemamonit Returns

      Prologue

      Harry lifted up his fedora and wiped his forehead with the sleeve of his shirt, he jammed the hat back down hard making sure it wouldn't slip off. He held a Webley revolver in his other hand it was pointed at a closed door.

      Get ready! he yelled at the two other men with him.

      One of the men was standing directly in front of the door about fifteen feet away, he had a rope in his hand that was tied onto the doors handle, the other man was standing slightly in front of the rope holder to the side, he had an assault rifle pressed against his shoulder.

      Harry stared at the large wooden door, it had been plastered over when they had first discovered it, there had been seals with cuneiform writing pressed into the plaster.

      They had carefully photographed the seals before they had smashed the plaster off of the door, he had then translated the cuneiform writing in the seals, they had all said the same thing, here lie the quarters of the great and powerful Semiramis, sealed for eternity.

      Pull! Harry yelled.

      The rope went taught as the man holding it stared pulling, the door held for a few seconds then flew open.

      There was silence for moment, then a roar as a large many toothed monster charged out of the dark interior.

      Some kind of dinosaur, Harry thought to himself.

      He felt the Webley jerk against his palm, a small red rose appeared on the monsters shoulder, he heard the AK start firing , the monster roared even louder charging towards the two men opposite him.

      Harry emptied his revolver into the beast as he watched the creature crash into his compatriots, it turned unsteadily then collapsed onto the ground, it was dead.

      Reload! Harry yelled as he emptied the spent cartridges from his gun and quickly inserted fresh bullets from his ammo belt.

      He looked at the two men, the rope puller had injured his ankle and was still on the ground, the other still stood, he had already put a fresh mag into his AK.

      They looked at each other then towards the dark space beyond the entrance.

      Harry grabbed a flashlight out of the canvas bag slung over his shoulder, the bag had originally been designed to hold a gas mask, he switched it on and then carefully walked through the entrance, the other man was close behind.

      Looks clear, Harry muttered as he gripped the Webley harder.

      Harry looked around the small antechamber they had entered.

      Definitely Assyrian, the man next to him said.

      She musta been a nasty chick... huh Dick, Harry replied.

      Ya... see any magic?

      Harry carefully swept the powerful flashlight over the antechambers walls, floor and ceiling.

      Oh shit... look at that, Harry exclaimed pointing.

      Always something weird... always... can't ever be just a pile of gold, Dick murmured.

      Gotta get one of the sorcerers, Harry said matter of factly.

      Chapter one

      I stared at the middle aged bespectacled man sitting across from me, he had an exasperated expression on his face, he was holding a large yellow legal pad in one hand and a fountain pen in the other.

      So you want to change the books plot for the movie... it was a bestseller, he said incredulously.

      I have procured the books rights, I have the authors permission to do what I want with it, I said forcefully.

      Mitchell agreed? he had a look of amazement on his face.

      Call her up if you want, I pointed to an antique looking phone sitting on the table between us.

      No... that's all right, the lawyers will sort that out.

      And you want a colored actress for the lead... how is that going to work.

      Dark skinned actress, I said feeling my eyes narrow.

      But... um... the book... it... um... takes place during the civil war... what about the slavery stuff?

      That's why we move it to the future, I felt like I was talking to a small child.

      Ya... the future... so the confederate army becomes this alliance of rebels.

      Yes and the North becomes the Empire.

      And everyone flies around in rockets and fights with... he looked at his notes, swords made of light.

      Spaceships, not rockets.

      Ok... well maybe we should leave the plot for now... this Ford guy you want for the lead... I got Gable lined up guaranteed... why go for an unknown actor?

      You'll see, I said smugly.

      And the female lead... Dorothy Dandridge... she's way to young... she's pretty good though... unlike the rest of this shit, he said under his breath.

      Careful Mr Selznick... we wouldn't want Mr. Hearst finding out about your little secret... right?

      Selznick stared at me his eyes black with hate.

      You'll destroy my career, or maybe that's what you want... this is crap, no-one's gonna watch this... spaceships? That's for little kids... hey why stop there, we could film a comic book... like Popeye... ya that'll fly, Selznick laughed derisively.

      I stared at him for a moment about to say something, then thought better of it.

      You'll do it Mr Selznick, and be well paid for it... besides you can just blame everything on me, the meddling investor, isn't that what all producers do when their picture flops?

      You won't be able to show it in the south, he said, changing the subject.

      Their loss.

      Do you have a sound stage yet?

      I had one built, it's state of the art, you might not be familiar with some of the new equipment in it so I got you an adviser, he can help with the direction too, I looked down at my own notes, a Mr Bay... he'll meet you on the set, and don't worry about Miss Dandridge I have some special makeup to make her look older.

      It'll take a few weeks to get the script written... it'll cost, these writers they're all arteest's, you gotta give em a big check to turn them back into hacks.

      That won't be a problem.

      Selznick stood up
