The Scorpion King 3: Battle for Redemption

The Scorpion King 3: Battle for Redemption 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, 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.
