When that didn""t work, Ray confidently decided to take charge with a new plan.As they stealthily approached he ghost as a group, Ray yelled: "Stay close.Do exactly as I say.Get ready, ready, get her!"Suddenly, he library worker turned towards them, and was transformed through mutation into a screaming, ghoulish and skeletal spectral hag (with effective special effects) - a great scare! They screamed and frantically fled from the library exit doors, passing by and ignoring Delacorte""s question ("Did you see it? What was it?") as they hurriedly exited and yelled back: "We""ll get back to you!" The threesome enthusiastically discussed the real possibility of finally catching a ghost.He is first seen through the window of his cramped and confining space.He uses many "Rube Goldberg"-like mechanical contrivances in a choreographed set of actions to save space - a rope tugs his bed up out of the way, and a shelf folds up to make a table.The robot colossus destroyed (or disintegrated) many of the weapons present (plus one tank and artillery weapons) with the mysterious laser beam concealed by his facial shield, without injuring a single soldier.The Scorpion King only awakened once every 5,000 years.The last known expedition to reach the oasis was sent by Ramses the Fourth over 3,000 years ago, and Alexander the Great, Caesar, and Napoleon had also sent troops on unsuccessful searches.In the meantime, the romantic relationship between "Doc" and Clara made the return to the future even more problematic - she didn""t believe him and was heartbroken when he told her he was returning to the future year of 1985, and had traveled to 1885 in a time machine.
