Rise Of Apocalypse #2

En Sabah Nur and Baal are trapped in a cave-in and Nur should be dead, crushed under a boulder. Baal tends to his wounds and they struggle to find a way out of the caves.

Baal tells the origin of Rama-Tut, that he came from the sky with the Sphinx and lost his ship, which the Sandstormers found and kept from him. Rama-tut slaughtered the Sandstormers in retribution.

Meanwhile outside the cave Ozymandias leads slaves in the building of a pyramid while Rama Tut marries his sister Nephri.

Baal dies before they can escape the cave but tells Nur that he is “the first one” and he is to go to the Sphinx before he passes. Nur claws his way to the surface and is found by Logos, Rama Tut’s head scientist who wants to use him against Ozymandias.
