Sorry I've been down I needed a break, my brain has only so much room, and now I got new ideas you're all gonna love. And I'm not doing the mummy sequel or dragon emperor.

Also I've been hard at work, both my job and at home. And I got to see Assassin's creed Valhalla trailer, coming this October 16 2020.

And you might notice little hints for the next chapter, in this current one. Let me know if you see any.

September 22 1886 After defeating the Mummy the crew sailed for weeks, along the journey Nemo is starting to feel lonely. Seeing he's living with his daughter and her friends. Even though they've been living together for almost a year, they feel like strangers. They barely knew each other entirely.

Nemo feels like Odysseus from Homer's the Odyssey. Which is ironic for that what he's reading. However unlike Odysseus his son who was miles away, Nadia is anywhere on the ship, so it's time for Nemo to stop hiding on the ship and becomes more than a captain, but a friend and father.

Nemo puts his book mark on Circe the witch who turns people into animals. The Union captain leaves his room to get to know the M9 starting with Nadia and Jean. In Jean, Nadia, and Marie's room the three youths are each minding their own business, Jean is reading one of Nemo's encyclopedias, Nadia resting on the bed and Marie playing with King. Nemo knocks on the door gaining their attention and asks: "May I come in?" Jean answers: "Yes, captain."

Nemo enters the room and sits in chair. Nadia asks her father: "Why are you here?" Nemo hesitates but answers: "I feel like I need to know you Nadia, and your friends." Jean and Nadia are confused by Nemo's reasons. Jean asks Nemo: "Why are you suddenly interested Nemo?" Nadia adds to Jean questions: "Yeah, normally you're the unsocial type." Nemo heavily sighs and answers: "I just been reading a book the Odyssey. A king who fought in the Trojan war, and longed to returned home to his wife and son. In a why I feel like him." Jean and Nadia understood, while Marie was just confused since she didn't know the captain very well, only thing she did knew about him was he is Nadia's father. Nemo asks the three youths: "So can you tell me anything about your lives and I will tell you mine."

Jean goes first tells his life story: "Let me go first. (Clearing throat) I was born I La Havre France. I lived with my mother and father, till she died when I was really little. My father was a fisherman, the best sailor in the world. Present company excluded." Nemo nods in understanding and replies: "Please continue." Jean continues the story: "One day he didn't come home, after a while I moved in with my aunt and uncle. I sold my father's farm to build my workshop and my uncle was supportive in my inventions, even helped build some while my auntie wasn't very supportive. In fact she called my inventions useless junk. So after a while I moved to America, but on the way we were attacked by the cursed pirates who were looking for me, I was rescued by Nadia's traveling circus. After I was rescued I've been living in New York for a while, until I leave for the west, where I meet Nadia again, she left the circus till we started working for Jasper, the rest is history."

Nemo understood Jean's life story then turns Nadia and asks her: "What about you Nadia?" Nadia answers as best as she could: "After discovering I was adopted, I went traveling searching for my real parents. I traveled and search all over the north and south, and I couldn't find any trace. Soon after I given up hope of finding them."

Nemo felt sad for his daughter, the hardship she endured to search for parents and asks: "What did you after you couldn't find your mother and me?" The acrobatic continues to tell the story: "Well when I was five years old I ended up in the circus. So I traveled with them, I even developed the ability to hear what animals are saying. In fact one day an old bull I knew was being sent to the slaughter house. He begged them not to kill him, but no one listen. After that I could no longer eat an animal after that tragic day." The Union navel captain still understood seeing how she loved animals and couldn't bare the sight. "I stayed in the circus eventually I got my own act. But when Jean came to my wagon he remembered me, but I forgot about him. He offered to take me out of the circus, and I took it. Even though the circus tries to catch me, we manage to escape. We stayed together for months working for Jasper until we met Ashitaka and San, along with the rest of the gang. We team up and worked together to steal Jasper's golden nugget so we could save the Cheyenne. Then Marco accidentally knocked Jasper's head off, after that we joined and became the Magnificent 10. So we told you our story, so tell us yours."

Nemo tells his story: "Well it started when I was born I India, to a royal family. But our lineage goes back further, turns out we are descendants of Atlantis." The inventor interrupts: "Wait! You're saying you're a descendant of Atlantis?! So that makes Nadia a descendent too." Nemo nods yes and continues: "Yes. And the Blue Water, that Nadia wears around her neck has been in the family for generations. Only royalty have had the stone." Nadia hold her Blue Water in her hand and looks at it then asks: "Nemo, what's so special about the Blue Water?" The Captain replies: "The Blue Water is a powerful jewel. Only the royal blood of Atlantis can wield it. And the user can be either a god or a devil. And it houses the spirits and collective consciousness of all the people of Atlantis." Both Nadia and Jean were shocked to hear this, while Marie fell asleep and lays on Nadia's lap, "And Atlantis was a technologically advanced civilization. They unlocked the secrets of unlimited energy at a time when the rest of the world still thought the earth was flat. They were prosperous, and advanced in not only technology but medic, culture, art, religion." Nadia asks once again regarding Atlantis' fate: "So how did it become a ruin city? What did it lead to his down fall?" Nemo replies: "As Atlantis rose, the minds of the the leaders grew. While one side believed Humanity should serve under Atlantis, becoming a global empire. While others believed that Atlantis should be a beacon of hope. Sharing the knowledge, to shine away the darkness of ignorance. They believed knowledge should be for all, not just the ones those who they deemed worthy. So a civil war broke out, and Atlantis used it's own weapons on itself, and fell. Only a handful of Atlanteans including the royal survived. And only pieces of their technology blue-prints survived as well. That's the story of Atlantis."

The French inventor states to Nemo: "Well that does tell Atlantis story. What about your?" Nadia agrees: "Yes, what about our family?" Nemo heavily sighs knowing the pain of his past but tells the story: "It all began a lifetime ago in India. After Atlantis fell, the royal bloodline still survived, and generations. We lived down to me, I married your mother Nadia, we lived together in a palace. I was a man of the people, I gave the people easy living and enough money to make it easy for them. Till one day a man named Bueldo (The same mercenary from the mummy chapters) accused me of sorcery." He tells the beginning of the story the two youths are still interested. "I was stripped of my royal title, and sold me to America as a slave. My wife and I was sold to a cruel man. I worked hard then my wife gave birth to a boy, your brother Benusis."

Nadia was surprised to hear she had a brother. The young acrobatic stutters: "I...I...I had a brother?" The Captain again nods yes. "What happened to him?" Nemo answered with much pain: "He died. For you see of 7 years after he was born, he didn't want to be a slave, so he tries escape, but he was shot in the back, in his tempt to escape. After that day neither your mother and I didn't want children, for the pain of loosing one child was too much to bare. But before we were sold to another man, we discovered my wife was pregnant with you. Just as we were about to be send off, your mother gave birth right in the carriage, even though our previous owner was only selling me and my wife but no my daughter. So he took you from us and kept you to another family."

Jean exclaims in anger: "That's horrible!" Nadia adds in agree: "He's right, selling people like property! And this does explain why I was adopted." Nemo continues his story: "After we were sold we could no long endure the injustice of slavery so we escaped and fled to New York. We stayed under until the Civil War started, so I joined the union navy. I fought for two years till I reach the rank of Captain. One day I commission President Lincoln to build the Nautilus. With the aids of Tomas Edison and Tesla and the blue-prints, we created the Nautilus. When the Nautilus began it's voyage we fought against the Confederate navy, and became a turning point in the war. But when the war ended, I returned home to my wife, but it turned out she died two years earlier from an unknown illness." Nadia was stricken with sadness after hearing her mother died. "After I buried her, I sailed for a few years, even joined the East India Trading company, tasked with hunting down pirates. Only to learn I was helping wrong side, some of the pirates weren't even criminals. Compared to the East India Trading company the pirates were the good guys, seeing the company did human trafficking and unjustly arresting and exacting innocent people. So after freeing the pirates, I became a pirate lord. I still sailed until I found and settled on the Mysterious Island, then I washed away my life, my rank, and the legend of Captain Nemo."

Both the Inventor and acrobatic were shocked and understood by Nemo's Story, the hardships he endured, being stripped of his noble state, being sold to slave, loosing his family either through death or take away from him, fighting in a war, then help a corrupt trading company who hunted pirate who some didn't do any actual crime, so he decides to start clean over again. Nemo asks again regarding Marie: "So what's with you two and this little girl?" Nadia turns from her father to Marie, rubbing her head and answers: "Jean and me adopted her. You see a man named Gargoyle who leads a rouge KKK, his men killed Marie's parents. We couldn't leave her behind, so she joined us. But when we started the pirate venture we left her under the care of the Cheyenne. The same tribe who raised, Ashitaka."

Nemo stands up from his chair and says: "Thank you both. It's been a pleasure to get to know both of you and Marie." Nemo leaves the room and closes the door.

The Captain stood outside of Jean and Nadia's room and he says to himself in his thoughts: 'Gargoyle is involved in this as well. My former slave-master, who is now part of a cult he created. Now he seeks to finish what he began all those years ago.' The captain realize the war between Gargoyle and him, has begun.

For the rest of the day Nemo spent his time learning about the rest of the Magnificent 10. His next meeting is with Steven; who sees the best in people, and he tries his best to help others, but he's still discovering himself since he found out he's a descendent of the Diamonds, still trying to cope with it. Then he meets Connie he finds she's a smart, strong, independent young woman, taking in school work, learning from Pearl in sword fighting and a hand-to-hand combat, and she has feeling for Steven, who also has feelings for her. Then the Navel captain meets Ashitaka who chants in Cheyenne, who is given a vision; 'they will arrive to a land filled with what looks like animals, but aren't really animals at all. And these so called animals are lead by a woman who is more.' Nemo learns more about Ashitaka and San's origins; for starters Ashitaka is the second sole survivor after the Confederate attacked his clan. He was tied to a x cross for three days, by the time the Cheyenne the medicine-men did all they could to bring him back, but in doing so, he is cursed with a demonic mark. Didn't make him a devil just cursed with a mark and gives him superhuman strength.

As for San she was raised by the wolf spirit Moro. Her biological parents were cutting down her sacred forest trees. This is angered the wolf creature, so she chased them, and in the running the parents threw their baby at her feet. Instead of eating her, Moro decided to raise San as her own. Then Nemo goes to Dipper and Mabel.

Nemo learns from Dipper's name is really a nickname, Mabel gave to him at an early age, for the birthmark on his forehead. Nemo learns Dipper is sometime shy but determined boy, he's also stubborn and learned from his Grunckle Ford, about Gravity Falls. He tries to act like an adult sometimes, and tries uses to use plan to get through life only realize it's holding him back, so he now thinks as things go along.

Then he turns to Mabel who is a Hyperactive young and foolish even at time naive girl. She quickly falls in love but sometimes her romances ends in ways she didn't expect. And like Steven she sees the best in people even her brother and Grunckles Stan and Ford. And even though she and her brother argue even over the small stuff. But despite everything they come out on top.

Then Nemo goes to Marco who is sparing with a punching bag, keeping his karate skills still sharp. When Nemo asked to talk to Marco he stops and wondered what he wanted. Nemo tells Marco he just wants to know both him and Star. Marco explained he's a hard worker, straight A student, but when things go crazy he freaks out or tries to adapt to the situation. He loves his parents, but wish he could give something back, so he goes searching for gold mines and digs for the gold.

Then he explains about Star, she's a wild, out of control sometimes, rebel princess. Even though her mother wants her to become queen, Star just wants to have fun. But Star made some choices she didn't expect would come back to haunt her, or her friends. So she did what few other queens and princesses of her family has ever done, making the ultimate sacrifice.

After learning all of this, Nemo feels more connected with Nadia and her friends, even his future son-in-law. So the Captain returns to his room, and looks at the Odyssey, thinking this is their version only more complex than Odysseus.

So here's the latest chapter, it's a small one I think the next one will be 15 maybe 20 pages long. Again let's me know if you notice any easter eggs in this one.

It's related to the next chapter, and it's pretty obvious what the next chapter will be.
