Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Trio of Drakes. Enjoy the 2500-word chapter. I don't own Uncharted, Naughty Dog and Sony do.

(Jungles of Central America.)

Liam hiked through the jungles and kept his Desert-5 trained on anything.

"So, we went from shooting at pirates off the coast of

Panama to hiking through some godforsaken jungles… Real great move, little brother…."

Liam said as the former soldier looked around the temple they were in, Nathan shrugged.

"Wouldn't have been the first time something like this happened, Liam."

Nathan said as Liam picked up a Spanish helmet, his wetsuit had been traded for a Black shirt, blue boots and beige cargo pants.

He also wore a holster on his upper body for his pistol.

"Doesn't mean much… And yes, it did, the job in Rio, that ended with a shootout with about a few hundred thugs, an entire warehouse burned down and me with a scar…. Also, doesn't seem like we were the first ones here…. Spanish soldiers in an Inca or Mayan temple…. Sounds like bad writing Sully would have made…."

Liam said as Sully looked at the elder Drake as Liam dropped the helmet with a thud.

"Sorry, didn't mean to make it sound that bad…."

Liam said as Sully merely chuckled at Liam as Nathan moved to look at the rest of the temple, they were close… He could feel it.

"Don't worry, it'd still make more money then you have in your career…."

Sully joked as Liam huffed before Drake called out from the other side of the cavern.

"Guys? You might want to see this."

Liam heard as he and Sully ran for the other room, they reached outside quickly and found Nathan.

"Ok, what's the big…. Sweet mother of…"

Liam said as he and Sully looked up at a Submarine parked in the middle of the river.

A German U-Boat to be precise. Liam looked at the boat and huffed in annoyance as Nathan nodded.

"A U-Boat… A Nazi U-Boat…. That's just great…. As if we haven't had to deal with enough stupid crap…."

Nathan heard from his older sibling as Sully turned to the two.

"You think the map to El Dorado is there? How the hell did a German U-Boat even get here?"

Sully asked as Liam wondered the same thing, he was skilled at shooting, hand to hand, military tactics and history/culture.

But even he couldn't guess what drove some of the most infamous soldiers in history to crash a sub in the middle of the river.

"It used to be a river…. When it sank, the Sub got trapped…. Also, yes, I do believe the map is in there…. Unless you would like to try and look somewhere else?"

Nathan asked as Sully sighed, the man was more experienced then Liam was, at least at treasure hunting… But he was getting to be too old for this.

"I need that money, Nate…. Go get the map, I'll keep watch out here."

Sully said as Liam sighed and moved to climb into the U-Boat, he had done worse than this, and the sooner they had the map, the sooner they'd be able to move on and get this out of the way.

"Ok, come on, Liam…. Sully, we're be back soon…. Just make sure not to die of boredom out there…"

Nathan said as Liam rolled his eyes as they dove into the water, both Drakes swam from there to the rocks which they climbed up and towards the top of the Sub.

"By the way…. If there's anyone still alive in the sub…. Your handling them, I draw the line at undead monsters…."

Liam said as he swung from the rocks and landed in a roll on the sub, using his arms to cover his head and chest so he didn't slam his face into the sub.

"Hey, kid!"

Sully yelled as Nate landed behind his brother as both walked over to glare at the man from the raised sub.

"When was your last tetanus shot?"

Sully joked as Nate rolled his eyes.

"Very funny, Sully!"

Nate called before dropping into the sub, Liam followed, keeping a close arm on his pistol.

"Captain's quarters are lower, right? If anyone on this thing has it, it would be the captain, right?"

Nate asked as Liam nodded, seemed his brother did pay attention to his brother's words at the least.

"Yes, I'll check out this area, you go down and look there and then find the captain…. If there's something important up here, I'll find it…"

Liam said as Drake nodded and went to find a latter to go to a ladder so he could descend to find the lower quarters.

"Sully, Liam…. Something terrible happened to this place, there's nothing but blood and…. Soup I think, around here… Bodies everywhere… these bodies look torn to shreds."

Liam heard as he opened a door, inside was the captain of the boat, Liam grimaced at how horrible the soldier looked.

"Nate, I found the captain, little brother…. Whatever you saw, this guy looks like he's seen that and then some…. Looks like a train peeled out on him.…. Geez, I see the map…"

Liam said as he looked at the map before pulling it from the corpse's hands.

It almost looked like the thing was still alive, he turned to get out of the sub when he heard Nate curse a few floors below him.

He ran a mental check of anything that could cause his brother to fear like that aboard a submarine.

Then his eyes widened as he realized he hadn't found out if the ordinance of the sub was still inactive.

"Damn it!"

Liam yelled before he stuffed the Map in his satchel before running for the later and climbing it before leaping into the water from the top of the sub.

"Hello…"

Liam heard when he surfaced from the water to see a man with grey hair with a few mercs around as he climbed out of the water as one of the men reached for his pistol.

Liam grabbed his hand and twisted before kicking him away, the man cursed and yelled in pain as the other mercs trained their rifles on him.

"Watch it, he's got teeth."

Sully said as Nathan got out of water as Nathan got his pistol got his weapon taken away.

"Friends of yours, Sully?"

Nathan asked as Liam walked next to his brother as the man spoke up.

"I'm Gabriel Roman."

Roman said as Liam rolled his eyes as both brothers spoke up.

"We know who you are, jackass."

Liam and Nathan hissed as Roman turned away at this.

"Manners, gentlemen, it's just business."

Roman said as Liam snorted in distain.

"Yeah, shooting us and leaving us to rot when we give you what you want is 'just business'…"

Liam muttered as Roman ignored the jab at him as he turned to Sully.

"Over!"

One of the man yelled as he shoved both Drake brothers.

"Try it again, I dare you, jackass."

Liam hissed as Roman turned to Sully.

"See, your friend owes me money, Mr. Drakes…"

Roman stated as Liam rolled his eyes at this.

"Sully owes a lot of people money, what else is new?"

Liam joked as Sully glared at him as Roman chuckled at this.

Well, at least someone had a sense of humor.

"Yes, well…. When he told me you were onto something big…? The 'Find of a lifetime…' I was intrigued…. But then again, Sullivan has made such promises before… So here we are again, another fool's errand…."

Roman growled out to Sully as Liam and Nathan looked at each other.

"Geez, does he always drone on like this?"

Nathan asked as the man with the rifle smacked him with it, Liam turned and slugged him to the ground.

"Easy, Navarro… I'm afraid your time is up… Unless you found something that clears up all this unpleasantness?"

Roman asked as Liam shrugged and turned to Nathan who was still picking himself up.

"No, I don't, sorry…."

Liam said as Navarro swung at him which he ducked.

"No use lying to them, kid…. Give him the map…."

Sully said as Nathan sighed and did so as Navarro looked at the map with confusion.

"What does a Kriegsmarine map have to do with El Dorado?"

Navarro asked as Liam and Nathan shared a look as if neither could understand anything about this man.

"What? You think this is a coincidence? They were after El Dorado as well…. They were after the same treasure as well…. The map has something to do with it…."

Sully stated as Liam began to slowly reach for the Desert-5 in his holster so he could use it when he needed it.

"So, we square?"

Sully asked as Roman nodded as he turned before looking at Sully over his shoulder.

"For now, but if you need a reminder…."

Sully heard as Roman drew a revolver at Nathan as Liam and Nathan's eyes widened.

"Whoa, leave him out of this…"

Sully said as Nathan joked at the fact that he had a gun pointed at his face.

"Yeah, don't you guys just cut off a finger or something?"

Nathan joked as Roman smiled like a wolf would before it would be tearing apart prey.

"No, that's far too vulgar… No, I think this would hurt more…"

Roman stated as Sully started to argue before Roman turned and shot him in the chest.

"SULLY!"

Liam and Nathan yelled as Nathan tried to wrestle the rifle from Navarro before the torpedo from the U-Boat exploded.

"Nate, let's go!"

Liam yelled as he drew his pistol and begun to run into the jungle as both Drake brothers turned and looked at Sully as Navarro barked orders to his men.

"Stop him!"

Navarro ordered as Liam and Nathan ran into the jungle.

"Oh, this is terrific… Damn… Nathan, behind us!"

Liam said as he turned and shot two of the mercs chasing them as they ran further and further into the jungle, 2 mercenaries without guns stepped into their path, Liam put his gun away and punched the first man as Nathan tackled the other one.

"Damn, scumbags!"

Liam yelled as he grappled with the man before he snapped his neck, Nathan looked at Liam with surprise as the duo rounded the corner.

Only to run into Elena as the trio had a standoff.

"Whoa there, cowboy…"

Elena said as both Drakes lowered their guards before Elena slugged Nathan, Liam moved to guard his brother.

"That was for leaving me behind…"

Elena said as Liam glared at her, they had an army of mercenaries chasing them, Sully was dead… Possibly, and they had lost the map.

"What the hell are you doing here?"

Nathan and Liam asked as Elena looked at them as if they were stupid.

"I'm a good enough reporter to follow a trio of no-luck tomb robbers!"

She hisses as Liam was about to bring up a retort before Nathan pressed against the wall with Elena as more mercs started to come around the corner.

"Get down…."

Liam stated as they passed by, one of the mercs turned to face them and grinned before Liam tackled the man.

"He's a real guardian angel, isn't he?"

Liam heard from Drake as he killed the merc as Liam scowled at him.

"Your down to two tomb robbers right now…. Sully is dead."

Liam said as he looked at Nate, both were solemn at this.

Liam knew though, that Sully probably wasn't dead, there was no blood from the wound and Nathan knew there was a chance for Sully to have survived a shot from a .38 Revolver.

But Nate didn't need to know that yet, neither Liam nor Sully would want the man to charge back in and get himself shot for all his troubles.

So, Liam had to lie…. Just another skill that all Drakes seemed to have… Besides being able to fight, having a knack for history and exploring among other things.

"If we don't go now, we go with him…"

Liam said as he began to search the man for equipment, he found a few clips of ammo for his pistol, a grenade…

"Please tell me you have a gun…"

Nate said as Liam looked over the merc for his sidearm and found it.

"Of course, I wouldn't leave without one."

Elena said as she gave Nathan a PM-9mm as Liam picked up the AK-47 from the merc and strapped it around his back.

"I'm assuming you brought Hog Wild, the same seaplane that Sully used to get us off the boat?"

Liam asked as Elena nodded as Liam turned and began to pace, Nathan frowned.

He knew how Liam worked, Liam was still a soldier in a way, he was trained as one and he still used those skills as a treasure hunter.

"Ok, we fight our way to the plane, get off the island, then get after El Dorado…."

Liam said as Nathan walked up to the elder Drake.

"You aren't going full soldier mode, not now, Liam!"

Nathan yelled as Liam turned to his younger brother and raised his voice.

"Yes, I am… Sully is dead, and if we let Roman and his army of thugs get to the treasure first Sully would never forgive us! You're my baby brother, Nate…. I'm going to do this the same way I did this before… Protecting my family…."

Liam said as Nathan and he had a standoff, Elena looked between the two bothers as Nathan turned and started to walk back to Elena.

"Fine, but I need you to remember the coordinates on the map…"

Nathan started to say as Liam shook his head.

"You don't need to… We still have the map…"

Liam said as he brought out the map as Nathan looked at it in shock.

"You're not the only one whose good at sleight of hand…. I did pay attention to you and Sam when I was younger, brother…."

Liam said as Nathan rolled his eyes and smiled as the trio began to run into the jungle.

"You still sucked the most compared to me at Sam at the finer things in life, Liam."

Nathan said as Liam turned to him and frowned at him in annoyance as they ran, Liam took his rifle from his back.

"Don't forget who helped Sully teach you and Sam how to fight and shoot, Nate…."

Liam said as more Mercs rounded the corner as the trio fired at them while going through the temple.

Author Notes

Phew, another chapter done! Yes, I went through the sub quickly… It was a cool chapter but I didn't see a reason to make it drag on… As for Liam's skills? He's as skilled as Nathan is at treasure hunting but a better fighter then him and Sam… Next chapter will be by Saturday and will show Liam, Nathan and Elena getting to the other island. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
