The Scorpion King 3 Battle For Redemption

The Scorpion King 3: Battle for Redemption (previously titled The Scorpion King 3: Book of the Dead and The Scorpion King 3: Rise of the Dead) is a direct-to-video film that was released on January 17, 2012. It is the third installment in the Scorpion King series; the sixth film in Universal Studios' The Mummy franchise, making this the second sequel of a spin-off of a sequel of a movie that was a remake; and stars Selina Lo as an original character, Tsukai. This film continues the story of Mathayus, after he becomes the Scorpion King at the end of the first film and focuses on Mathayus battling Tsukai while trying to stop a war in three kingdoms of Egypt.

Plot

A handful of years after giving Mathayus the prophecy that his peaceful kingdom wouldn't last forever, Cassandra dies. Mathayus allows his kingdom to fall apart in the aftermath to the deadly plague which claimed his wife's life and he believes his reign of nobility to be over. Mathayus then becomes a mercenary once more, just as he was after his battle with Sargon and prior to his war with Memnon. Egypt is then divided into three kingdoms, one belonging to Talus, one to Horus and one to Ramusan. Talus' army grows to such an extent that he wishes to conquer Horus' Kingdom and to do so, he wishes to steal the Book of the Dead from Ramusan. To stop Talus, Horus hires Mathayus. In turn, Talus kidnaps Ramusan' daughter, Silda. Ramusan then tells Mathayus that if he can save his daughter, he will have the right to wed her and once again raise a kingdom in Egypt.

Mathayus manages to rescue Silda, but the two wind up in an exiles camp. Talus then arrives at Ramusan's palace and takes the Book of the Dead. Using the Book of the Dead, Talus reanimates the dead warrior Tsukai. Tsukai is a deadly yet beautiful warrior who is not only extremely skilled with the blade, but also magical prowess. In a test to see her strength, Talus orders her to kill his best men, which she does easily. Tsukai then attacks the Exile's Camp. Tsukai manages to defeat Mathayus in battle through not only the use of magic, but also pure skill. However, Mathayus manages to escape.

However, Talus nevertheless manages to capture Mathayus and Silda. Mathayus escapes and then attacks Talus, who is saved by the timely intervention of Tsukai. Silda then interferes in the match, allowing Mathayus to pursue Talus. Tsukai's servant Agromael manages to defeat Mathayus' ally Olaf and Tsukai easily best's Silda. Talus kills Ramusan and Mathayus recovers the Book of the Dead. Using the Book of the Dead, Mathayus manages to kill Talus and barely manages to stop Tsukai from executing Silda.

Tsukai, seeing Mathayus as the new ruler of Ramusan and Talus' kingdom bows down to him, defeating and sensing him as her new master. Mathayus and Tsukai then kick out all foreign powers in the portion of Egypt they are in, including Horus, with the recrowned Scorpion King vowing that he has reached a point in his life where he isn't afraid to lead his people to conflict and lay down his life for them. In a post-credits homage, it's revealed Mathayus and Silda shared a kiss on the night of their earlier party, though Silda appears to leave the prospects of a relationship with him behind as she bestows him the artifact which could one day be used to contact Anubis. While Mathayus may still have a while before deciding to lead his people on his fated quest to take over the known world, his destiny is now more clear than ever in the subtly more militiant stance he has taken compared to where he was at the end of the prior original film, with the Book of the Dead left intact for the subsequent events in The Mummy and the Scorpion King's own journey paved for the opening sequence of The Mummy Returns.
