Chapter 9
AN: Hello again everyone I am back once again for another chapter. It is finally the point I have really been looking forward to the Final Battle to Save Atlantis and the half-way point of this story.
Now to answer a few reviews:
Chaoticboy19: Unfortunately I can't answer your question due to spoilers.
Guest Seraph: A good idea that unfortunately won't be implemented as I already have things planned out.
Ultima Owner: That's my thought as well.
Blaze1992: He stopped Rourke from touching Kida because he had no idea what would happen. You have to remember that despite being the commander of the Royal Guard Naruto has little knowledge of the effects of the Heart of Atlantis as it is a closely guarded secret kept by the Royal Family.
Well that's it for reviews this time around. However I will address the several people who have complained that the story is following the movie plot to closely.
I have stated before that this story will follow the plot of the movie for the most part. In fact ALL of my Naruto x Disney x Pixar x Dreamworks Universe stories will essentially follow the main plot of the corresponding movie. However there will be changes here and there, sometimes they will be small other times they will be big.
Now for the recommended stories this time around…
First up is "The Sky Fox" by Hussbek. It is a really good Naruto x Infinite Stratos story that I will be covering sometime soon in my "A Peek into the Naruto-verse" story.
Next is "The Freezing Shinobi" by Azure King and Azure Queen. It is a Naruto x Freezing crossover that is REALLY good. I am especially liking how he has been developing the characters such as Arnett, Satelizer, and recently Elizabeth.
Rushing back to the throne room Naruto enters to see Sweet sitting next to the King who is lying down on his throne. As he walks up Naruto turns to sweet and asks "How is he doing?".
Sweet sighs sadly and begins putting away his medical equipment "Not good I'm afraid, he has internal bleeding there is nothing I can do" he says sadly.
Naruto's eyes widen in shock before he sighs "What a nightmare and it's entirely my fault that it came here. I have failed as the commander of the Royal Guard" he says in a defeated tone.
Sweet just shakes his head hearing this "Don't go beating yourself up about it Rourke has been after that crystal since Iceland" he says but Naruto just pays him no mind still in thought about his failure.
Hearing Naruto's voice the King tiredly opens his eyes "Naruto where is Kida? Where is my daughter" he says reaching out to Naruto.
Naruto kneels down by the king and gently takes his hand "She just merged with the Heart of Atlantis" he says in a defeated tone.
The King's expression turns to shock for a moment before saddening "Then as I feared for so long she has been chosen, like her mother before her" he says.
Sweet hearing this raises a brow in confusion "What do you mean she has been chosen?" he asks.
The king tiredly looks at the doctor and says "In times of danger the crystal will choose a host, one of royal blood to protect itself and its people, it will accept no other. The crystal is in a way alive and thrives on the collective emotions of all those who came before us. It is believed that when a citizen of Atlantis dies the crystal siphons off some of the individual's emotional energy before they pass on to the pure lands. In return for this the crystal provides power, longevity, protection, and healing".
The King then begins to cough heavily for a moment before taking a few deep labored breaths and continuing his tale "As the crystal grew it gained a consciousness of its own. In my arrogance and despite being advised not to I sought to use it as a weapon of war. However its power proved to be too great to control and it overwhelmed us leading to our destruction" he says.
Naruto's eyes widen hear this "So that's the reason behind you hiding it away and the knowledge of how to read Atlantean fading away. You feared someone finding out about the crystal and its location then going on to misuse it" he says in realization.
The king nods tiredly "Yes and to prevent Kida from suffering the same fate as my beloved wife. Please Naruto I beg of you the love of my daughter is all I have left, please save her" he says getting weaker by the moment.
Naruto expression becomes determined and he clasps the Kings hand firmly yet gently "I swear to you I will get her back and save the city" he says.
The King smiles tiredly hearing this "Thank you my friend and please look after her for me" he says softly before his arm goes limp and his hand slips out of Naruto's as he passes away from his injuries. Naruto lowers his head in sadness seeing this and the two guards nearby kneel before their lifeless king with their heads bowed.
For a moment Naruto just sits there in silence before his shoulders begin to shake in barely contained rage. He idly notes Sweet asking him what now but pays it no mind for the moment. His close friend the man who had taken him in when he had nowhere else to go was dead partly due to Naruto's own actions and it was tearing him up inside.
However after a moment Naruto stood up as he knew what he had to do. Looking over to the two guards "Round up two dozen able bodied men preferably those that have experience using a bow and arrow and have them gather at the bottom of the palace steps" he orders to which the guards nod and leave to do as ordered.
Naruto then gently lifts the King's crystal necklace off his body and drapes it around his own neck for safe keeping. He then proceeds to walk out of the throne room with Sweet following right behind him.
He passes by Audrey, Vinny, Cookie, Mole, and Ms. Packard who are all standing by the door. Audrey looks at Naruto seeing his furious expression as he walks pass and asks "Naruto where are you going?"
Naruto just continues walking but acknowledges her saying "To a place I had hoped to never step foot in again…WAR!" and storms down the palace steps.
For a moment the group is stunned speechless by his declaration before Audrey sighs "C'mon lets go make sure he doesn't get himself killed" she says with a roll of her eyes as despite Naruto seeming to have combat experience he would still be severely outnumbered if he went after Rourke alone.
They follow him down the steps to see him climbing onto a large fish-shaped object as two dozen Atlantean men armed with bows and arrows watch. Audrey raises an eyebrow seeing this and asks "Naruto what are you doing?"
Naruto takes off his crystal necklace and uses it to activate the fish-flyer causing its eyes to glow and hover a few feet off the ground with a light hum "Prepping our assault craft" he says as Audrey climbs up and sits behind him. He goes on to explain saying "It's simple all you have to do is-Yeah Yeah shut up we get it okay" only for Audrey to cut him off and press her hand onto the flyers control pad sending it crashing back into the stone steps before it sputters a bit and deactivates.
Naruto looks back to see Audrey slightly shaken by the crash "You have to do it gently" he says before taking his crystal out of the now broken flyer going over to a hammerhead shaped flyer.
Vinny chimes in a joking manner and asks "Hey Naruto who got something sporty like a tuna?" While one of the Atlantean warriors asks "How is this done?"
Naruto climbs into the cockpit of the hammerhead flyer and puts his crystal in the slot "All you have to do is use the crystals, Half-turn right, Quarter-turn back, keep your hand on the pad!" he says demonstrating as he says so activating the flyer.
Seeing this the others grin before they choose their flyers and start activating them one by one. Vinny and Mole each have they own tuna-shaped flyers, Cookie and Ms. Packard share a tuna shaped one, while Sweet and Audrey take a hammerhead flyer. The rest of the flyers are crewed by the Atlantean warriors with a few of them doubling up on a single flyer.
The group begins lifting off breaking the vines that were covering the flyers. As they begin heading out Naruto begins giving a speech "This is it! We are going to rescue Kida! We are going to save Atlantis! OR WE ARE GOING TO DIE TRYING!" he yells as he leads the group towards the lava tunnels passing over the cheering Atlantean citizens below them.
Meanwhile a soldier pulls a rope connected to a mortar firing a shell high up into the shaft of the volcano where it blasts a hole in the solidified magma blocking it and causing sunlight to shine down on Rourke who looks up with a smirk and says "I love it when I win" as another soldier pulls a lever on top of one of the barrel-shaped trucks causing it to open up and reveal the multi-balloon hot air balloon the expedition brought which begins to inflate.
The rescue group enters the lava tunnels and begins flying through them Naruto yells to the group "Heres the plan, we come in low and fast taking them by surprise. Stick in groups of 4 but if need be break down to groups of 2, NEVER fly alone. Tuna-flyers if you have a clear shot at an enemy press your hand on the hand-shaped carving above the activation pad. However only do so if you are absolutely certain you have a clear shot as we don't want to reawaken the volcano!"
Audrey raises a brow hearing this "Just one problem Rourke is never surprised and he has a lot of guns!" she yells back.
Naruto narrows his eyes hearing this "Stick to the plan and watch each other's backs and we will be fine!" he yells before seeing Rourkes group attaching the crate that holds Kida to a chain underneath the hot air balloon and yells "There they are ATTACK!" commencing the start of the battle.
Rourke scowls seeing the rescue group and yells "We've got company!" as the soldiers open fire on the rescue group.
An Atlantean warrior makes a pass and fires several arrows at a soldier who barely manages to dodge out of the way by jumping down into a trench where several other soldiers are with mortars at the ready. As the rescue group passes over head they fire the mortars which explode in the air near the group but miss them. All except for one which directly hits one of the Tuna-flyers sending it spiraling out of control with blue electricity flying off of it. The Atlantean aboard realizing he was going down manages to gain just enough control of the flyer to steer it into a group of soldiers where it crashes killing them and himself in the explosion.
Several soldiers stationed around a truck begin loading and launching the single-seater planes that the expedition brought into the air in an effort to combat rescue groups air supremacy.
Rourke who is now aboard the hot air balloon looks to one of the soldiers holding a mooring line and says "Take her up!". The soldier lets go of the line and the balloon begins rising towards the top of the volcano as several planes fly over the top of it before diving down towards the rescue group ad opening fire with their machineguns.
Several bullets whiz by Naruto's head causing him to flinch back slightly and yell "Holy Shit!"
Audrey who was flying next to him with Sweet says "I told you Rourke was never surprised!"
On the ground a soldier manning a machinegun turret begins aiming at the group as it flies past and opens fire hitting Vinny's flyer several times causing the bullets to ricochet off. Vinny ducks under one of the bullets and presses the hand-shaped carving above the activation pad. This results in the lines along the front of the fish to glow as they head towards the mouth which then starts to glow and spark with blue lightning. After a moment the lighting fires out of the mouth in a single continuous bolt of lightning that tears through the ground for a bit before hitting the truck the soldier was on causing it to explode.
An Atlantean warrior seeing this looks at his bow and arrow for a moment before deciding to forgo it as he switches over to using the flyers weapon seeing how effective it was.
Naruto seeing Vinny flies up alongside him and yells "Vinny new plan you and I will act as decoys while Audrey, Sweet, and Mole fly up underneath and cut Kida loose from the balloon" getting a nod from Vinny as they fly towards the balloon while the battle rages all around them.
One of the pilots of the planes sees this and makes a head-on pass at Naruto firing his machineguns. However his shots miss and as the two are about to collide Naruto suddenly rolls inverted before pulling out a kunai and slashing at the pilot as they pass. For a moment it looks like he missed however the pilots head suddenly flies off and the plane crashes into the ground.
On the ground the soldiers are launching more planes however an Atlantean warrior sees this and attacks the truck with his flyers weapon vaporizing it and the soldiers manning it.
Back up in the air Ms. Packard is taking pictures of the battle using her camera while Cookie fires of a shot with his shotgun managing to hit one of the enemy pilots.
Another pilot wasn't watching where he was flying and was about to crash head on with Vinny. However Vinny fires his flyers weapon blowing up the plane and flies through the smoke left behind covering him in soot. He then links back up with Naruto and they make their way towards the balloon with Audrey, Sweet, and Mole joining them.
As they near the balloon Audrey, Sweet, and Mole break off to go underneath it while Naruto and Vinny fly straight at Rourke and Helga.
Rourke seeing Vinny and Naruto yells "Lieutenant!" getting Helga's attention before she opens fire on the two with her pistol missing every shot.
Underneath the balloon Audrey is standing on the box holding Kida using Sweets bone saw to try and cut the chains while Sweet is holding it steady from his spot behind Mole on Mole's flyer. Audrey continues trying to saw through the chain causing sparks to fly as she yells "I thought you said this thing could cut through a femur in 28 seconds!"
Sweet just shakes his head and yells "Less talk, more saw!"
Naruto makes a pass at Rourke who is now armed with a machinegun and firing at him. All of Rourkes shots miss but he keeps firing as Naruto passes by until the gun is blasted out of his hands by Vinny who salutes cheekily.
Rourke then looks down to see Audrey and the others and grins "Looks like somebody is working overtime!" he says to Helga who then proceeds to unhook the bombs on the side of the balloon.
The bombs fall one by one down towards the group with one hitting the hammerhead flyer Audrey and Sweet were using destroying it. Seeing this Sweet grabs Audrey who is still sawing and says "Come on time's up" as the three then fly away on Mole's flyer.
Seeing this Naruto makes a decision and aims his flyer at one of the side balloons that connect to the main balloon. He then begins flying on a collision course and right before he hits the balloon he pulls his crystal out of the flyer and jumps from it catching himself on one of the main balloons ropes. His abandoned flyer crashes into the side balloon rupturing it and causing the whole balloon to start floating back to the ground.
Rourke seeing this yells "Were losing altitude lighten the load!" as Helga begins throwing stuff overboard.
Helga finishes throwing a barrel overboard and says "That's it unless someone wants to jump" as Rourke walks up behind her and grabs her lifting her into the air and says "Ladies first before throwing her overboard.
Helga manages to catch herself on the railing and flings herself back onto the deck kicking Rourke in the face in the process. She glares at him and says "You said we were in this together. You promised me a percentage!" delivering kick after kick to Rourke's face.
However Rourke manages to catch one which throws Helga off balance which he uses to throw her overboard as he says "Next time get in writing" as she plunges towards the ground.
Naruto seeing this unhooks the rope he is holding on to and uses it to swing down into Rourke sending them both crashing though the railing and overboard. Rourke manages to grab a rope and Naruto grabs Rourke. The two slide down towards the platform directly above the spinning fan blades that are above the chains that hold the box with Kida in it.
Rourke looks at Naruto and smirks "Well I have to hand it to you. You're a bigger pain in the neck than I gave you credit for. I consider myself an even tempered main, and it takes a lot ot get under my skin. But congratulations you just won the solid gold kewpie-doll" he says as he throws a punch at Naruto.
Naruto dodges the punch but the sudden movement causes his injury to open up as it had already been stressed from his hard landing. This results in Rourke being able to land a kick on him that sends him through the metal railing causing it to break and bend down towards the fan blades causing them to get stuck. Naruto manages to grab hold of the railing and then transfer over to the chains holding the box up.
Back on the ground Helga who is fatally injured from the fall manages to roll over on to her back and pull out her flare gun. She then points it at the hot air balloon and says "Nothing personal" before using the last of her strength to fire the flare gun. The flare sails up and hits the main balloon causing it to pop and be set ablaze. Helga seeing this grins one last time before she succumbs to her injuries and dies.
Rourke seeing this scowls and breaks the glass of a nearby box before pulling out the emergency ax then makes his way down the chains towards Naruto with a bloodthirsty and crazed grin on his face.
He reaches Naruto who is now holding on to the side of the box with one hand and trying to stem his blood loss with the other. Rourke takes a swing at Naruto but misses shatter the glass of the box's window as he says "Tired Mr. Uzumaki well that's a darn shame as I'm just getting warmed up!"
Rourke then reaches down and grabs Naruto lifting him up. However Naruto manages to grab one of the shards of glass that is coated in the crystals energy. As Rourke holds Naruto up and prepares to bury the axe in his chest Naruto strikes first and stabs the shard of glass into Rourke's neck. This causes Rourke to scream in pain and release Naruto who grabs onto one of the chains and pulls himself up to catch his breath.
Rourke pulls the shard out of his neck however he screams as the energy from the crystal on the shard begins changing his skin to a blue crystalline substance with fiery red veins. Within seconds his entire body is changed and he is frozen in place.
Naruto looks down at the statue and says "Wasn't expecting that" through labored breaths. However suddenly Rourke reaches up and grabs the ring Naruto was resting on and pulls himself up. Naruto leans back out of the way shifting more weight to one side of the ring. This results in the side that Rourke is on lifting up towards the spinning fan blades. Rourke looks up just in time to let out an inhumane screech as he collides with the spinning blades shattering his body. Several of the razor sharp crystal shards slice through the chains holding the box to the balloon resulting in it and Naruto tumbling to the ground.
As he comes to a stop after slamming up against the box Naruto rubs the back of his head. He suddenly looks up to see the flaming wreckage of the hot air balloon plummeting straight for "Give me a break already" he says as he manages to get up and push the box and himself out of the way just in time.
As he gets back to his feet he notices Vinny, Mole, Audrey, and Sweet fly down on their flyers. However before anyone can say something the ground begins to rumble and as several cracks appear in it originating from the balloon crash site.
Mole looks around at the ground and with a horrified look on his face yells "The Volcano she AWAKES!"
Vinny chimes in saying "Hey I had nothing to do with this" while holding a lit stick of dynamite which he quickly extinguishes.
Cookie looks around and says "This here would be a good place not to be".
Naruto grabs hold of the lone chain that is still intact and connected to the box and says "We have to get Kida back to the city or were all dead anyway!" and tosses it to Audrey who tosses it to Vinny who proceeds to wrap it around the tail of his flyer.
They begin to take off however as the chain becomes taught it snaps of the ring that it was connected to on the box. Seeing this Naruto jumps down and despite Audrey telling him not to and grabs the chain. He quickly runs towards the box narrowly avoiding several erupting plumes of magma.
Upon reach the box he wraps the chain around it once before hooking it together and yells "GO!" before grabbing on just in time as the box if lifted up and magma overflows where he was just standing. The group then rapidly flying out back towards Atlantis through the lava tunnels with the magma only feet behind Naruto as he holds on.
However as they near the exit to the tunnels a glob of lava jumps up and lands on the chain and begins melting through it. Seeing this Naruto vaults forward and grabs the chain on either side of the melting section just in time as it snaps and he grunts in pain as he is now the only thing stopping the Kida and the box from plunging into the magma.
Luckily however the group quickly makes it out of the tunnels and flies back over to Atlantis landing on the same platform they took off from. They gently lower the box to the ground and Naruto releases the chain. A warrior runs over and hands Naruto a spear and he begins prying open the box.
At the edge of the platform Mole watches the lava seeping the wall by the lava tunnels and yells "The fissure is about to eject its pyroclastic fury!"
Sweet the looks to Naruto and translates saying "Naruto, Mole says the walls about to blow!"
Second later Naruto manages to pry open the box and the sides of it begin floating away before they begin orbiting Kida. The carvings in the platform begin to light up and spread to cover the entirety of the palace. Suddenly the platform rumbles as the rocks with the faces of the previous Atlantean Kings burst through the platform now glowing again. They begin to rapidly orbit around Kida as she begins floating up into the air.
When she reaches above the top of the palace the rocks begin orbiting faster and faster until they blur into a ring of light. A beam of light is then fired out of the crystal and hits one of the sunken statue guardians making it come to life and stand up. The process repeats several times as the statues then make their way to the perimeter of the city. They clap their hands and the same energy shield that protected Atlantis all those thousands of years ago begins to form once again as the magma bursts through the wall. The protective dome forms just in time as the magma crashes up against it.
From inside the dome everyone watches in awe as the magma creeps along the barrier before covering the city entirely. A flash of light rapidly cools the magma hardening it into a rocky shell. A moment later cracks begin forming in the shell and rays of light shine through as the hardened lava crumbles away revealing the dome. As the dome fades away the sections of rock between each of the guardians at the edge of the city crumble away and massive amounts of the water that flooded the city begin draining into the hot lava that didn't reach the dome creating massive clouds of steam.
Back on the platform a beam of light shines down on Naruto and he looks up to see Kida now back to normal gently floating down towards him. He catches her in his arms and she begins to stir awake. She blinks a few times before asking "Naruto?" to which he just nods and smiles. She then looks at her right hand which is closed around an object and after opening it she sees the same bracelet she wore as child that was lost when her mother was chosen by the crystal.
Seeing this she closes her eyes for a moment before flinging her arms around Naruto's and hugs him. After getting over his shock for a moment Naruto just holds her close to comfort her. He then looks out towards the edge of the city and smiles before turning Kida to see it for herself. Upon seeing that much of the city which had been submerged underwater was now visible with more and more becoming visible as the water continued to drain Kida smiles and the two make their way towards the platforms edge and are soon joined by the rest of the rescue group.
As they gaze upon the scene before them Kida tentatively reaches out to hold Naruto's hand surprising him for a moment before their fingers interlace.
*Timeskip 2 Weeks*
Two weeks after the battle to save Atlantis the group is standing before a large Narwhale shaped submarine that is being loaded with large amounts of jewels, gold coins, and other assorted priceless objects.
Kida smiles as she drapes a crystal necklace over Vinny's head and says "Atlantis will honor your names forever, as despite you initially coming here to plunder it, in the end you changed your minds and decided to risk your lives to save it and all of its people. I only wish there was more we could do for you" she says getting a chuckle from Naruto.
Vinny fiddles with his necklace a bit before saying "Uh you know thanks anyway but I think were good" he says before looking back at the mound of treasure still being loaded into the submarine.
Naruto chuckles again and says "They will take you as far as the surface" getting nods from the group.
Audrey smiles as she says "Were really going to miss you Naruto" with a smile while inside she is sad that her new friend is staying behind.
Vinny walks up and puts his hands on Naruto's shoulders "You know I am going to reopen the flower shop, and I'm going to think of you guys every day. Monday through Friday, 9:00 to 5:00, Saturday till 2:00. Sunday…I'm probably going to take Sunday off, maybe go in for a few hours…August I am going to take August off" he says rambling a bit as he walks back to the rest of the group.
Cookie then walks up and gives Naruto and hands him a canister that is overflowing with what he explains it is the bacon grease from the whole trip as a gift. Mole then walks up and attempts to give Naruto a hug however after smelling Moles rather pungent odor Naruto just pats him on the head a few times.
Audrey then sneaks up on Naruto and gives him a kiss on the cheek with a grin before saying "Ah two for flinching" and lightly punches him arm. She then gives him a cheeky smile and salute before saying "See ya Naruto" and walks back to stand by the leaving group discreetly wiping a tear from her eye.
Sweet then smiles as he says "Now you sure you want to stay? After all there's a hero's welcome waiting for the man who discovered Atlantis."
Naruto just shakes his head before saying "No thanks I after all I spent the last 8,500 years waiting to finally get back home even ended up going crazy for a bit and wrote the Shepherd's Journal while in that state. There's no way I am leaving my home any time soon…unless there is some kind of world ending catastrophe looking but what are the odds of that happening" he says surprising everyone that he was the author of the journal, something he had found out when his memory loss of the time he went insane was restored after being so close to the Heart of Atlantis.
Naruto then chuckles for a moment as he says "Besides I don't think the world needs another hero and I hear there's a job opening here for an expert in gibberish".
Sweet then walks over to Naruto and the two hug as Sweet says "You take good care of yourself then Naruto Uzumaki"
Naruot just chuckles once more as the two release the hug before reaching into his coat pocket and pulling out a small wrapped parcel "Sweet do you think you can give this to Mr. Whitmore for me?" he asks to which Sweet just nods and takes the package.
Ms. Packard then chimes in asking "Can we go home now?"
Sweet just smiles and says "Come on everyone lets get one last picture in front of the fish". Everyone then gathers in front of the submarine and an Atlanean holding Ms. Packard's camera takes the picture.
*Timeskip 1 week*
The group now wearing fancy clothes is now back in Mr. Whitmore's mansion sitting in front of Mr. Whitmore who is looking at the pictures from the expedition.
Mr. Whitmore then looks at the group and says "So lets go over this again just so we got it straight…You didn't find anything?" he asks.
Vinny nods as he says "Nope just some rocks…and fish little fish".
Mr. Whitmore then asks "What happened to Helga?"
Cookie then chimes in with "Well we lost her when a flaming zeppelin come down on her…" only for Ms. Pakcard to hit him over the head with her umbrella causing him to gulp and say "Uh…missing".
Mr. Whitmore nods and says "That's right…and Rourke?"
Sweet then says "Nervous breakdown, you could say he went all to pieces"
Cookie then grins and says "In fact you could say he was transamorgified and then busted in a zillion…" only to see Ms. Packard raise her umbrella again and correct his statement saying "He's missing too"
Mr. Whitmore then asks "What about Naruto?"
Audrey then says "He went down with the sub" as she pets Naruto's cat Tora who was resting in her lap.
Mr. Whitmore sighs sadly as he looks at a picture of Naruto and Kida holding hands and says "I am going to miss that boy. At least he is finally home". He then goes to look at another picture and sees the parcel Naruto had Sweet give him.
Mr. Whitmore opens the parcel to see it is the picture of Naruto as a young boy and Old Man Thatch while resting on the picture is an Atlantean Crystal necklace. Mr. Whitmore lifts up the necklace to see some writing on the picture that reads "Dear Mr. Whitmore, I hope this piece of proof is enough for you. I am also sorry for not telling you the truth about me. However thank you from the both of us for everything that you have done, Sincerely Naruto Uzumaki". Mr. Whitmore just smiles as he drapes the necklace around his neck.
*Back in Atlantis*
Naruto wearing a ceremonial Atlantean Toga finishes carving a large rock. He steps back and Kida wearing a ceremonial dress steps forward and brings her crystal necklace up to her mouth before lightly blowing on it. She then brings lightly touches it to the carved rock which begins to glow and reveal that it is a carving of her father's face. The rock then slowing begins to float up in the air towards the Heart of Atlantis as the gathered citizens of Atlantis watch silently in remembrance of their late King.
As the carving rises higher and higher Kida leads Naruto away and the two climb to the top of a nearby statue and watch as it joins the other carvings of the previous Kings of Atlantis orbiting around the Heart of Atlantis as it floats once more above the palace. While all around the city people are flying around in fish-flyers.
Nartuo and Kida watch as the carving of her father joins the others before looking out upon the once more thriving city of Atlantis with smiles on their faces.
