"We ought to be nearing Iceland," Audrey informed the others as she piloted the plane. "And that name ain't just for show."
"Even though Iceland is the green one and Greenland is the ice one." Cherry rolled her eyes, reading the book version of a movie called "Cliffhanger".
They then suddenly felt intense turbulence and the plane shook a bit, nearly knocking them all around each other.
"With any luck, this weather will lighten up." Milo said as he held onto Kida and Otika protectively with his book in his lap.
Mole was shivering under a blanket, looking quite scared to death. "We should not be flying in such a storm," he advised the others. "We'll crash. We are too high above the dirt."
"Calm down, I highly doubt that we'll crash." Atticus replied.
"I'll hold ya to that..." Lionel remarked.
"You know, the weather hasn't let up since Hellstrom stole that spear," Milo spoke up thoughtfully and curiously. "I wonder if-"
"Coincidence, Milo. Take over, Vinnie," Audrey retorted before she left the cockpit, going over to the man. "I mean, come on. The old gods affecting the weather?" she then asked.
"Yes, it's almost as impossible and insane as a lost city that's a legend and no one else knows about it." Cherry smirked.
Audrey gave her a look for that.
"Well, there was that Indian wind god, spirit, whatever, Kraken," Vinnie suggested as he let go of the yoke, counting on his fingers about the possibilities. "Yeah, the Kraken might have been a god. Maybe not."
Suddenly, the plane began to shoot downward, making the others panic and freak out.
Audrey looked over and panicked, going back to her seat to grab her own yoke to keep the plane in the air. "Oh, Vinnie!" she then glared at him.
"And that big Atlantis crystal, that was kind of like a god," Vinnie continued. "All Cherry and I are saying, we see a lot of strange stuff. I'm just being open-minded."
"Well, you let go of my plane that way and I'll toss your open mind right into that soup." Audrey retorted.
"But we are over land now," Mole reminded. "Good solid land."
"Relax, Mole," Mo reassured him. "We've been over Iceland for minutes. The land's as solid as-"
"...Uh, you're gonna want to take a look at this," Audrey said to the others, seeing a floating land ahead of them. "Hellstrom's castle? What did you call it?"
"Asgard, home of the gods." Milo and Atticus replied in amazement.
"This is the power of the spear." Kida stated.
"That's what I call, 'Home Improvement'." Vinnie snarked.
"I'll call Tim Taylor." Cherry added, just as sardonic.
"Great, trespassing on Angel Island?" Lionel remarked. "Knuckles will be pissed!"
"Look out!" Mole panicked. "We'll crash! We'll crash!"
"Relax. We're not going to crash into any mountain." Audrey reassured.
The mountain seemed to have a face, looking right at them, soon standing up and showing to be a monster.
"Unless it stands up like The Abominable Snowman of Pasadena." Cherry remarked.
The monster soon snarled and tried to grab their plane in a King Kong fashion, but the plane luckily dodged the attack.
"You missed us!" Mole mocked and laughed from the window with Obby and the kids.
"That thing could have been a god." Vinnie remarked.
The monster soon took a deep breath and began to blow icy breath towards the jet engines, freezing them and rendering them useless and soon, it looked like it was time for a crash landing.
"Buckle up! We're going down!" Audrey cried out.
"Unless Atticus comes out the door Superman fashion and saves us," Cherry guessed and predicted, and sure enough, that's what happened as Atticus jumped out, grabbed the plane, then began to fly them down to safety so that they wouldn't crash. "Called it."
"Well, he said we wouldn't crash," Lionel shrugged. "Never said he wouldn't do anything to ensure it."
"Meh." Cherry replied as Akito and Emi watched Atticus in excitement from beside the window.
Mole soon went back to hiding under his blanket as all Audrey and Vinnie could see was snow.
Atticus then came down to the snowy ground, sliding against the snow slightly as he came to land the plane carefully and luckily nowhere near the mountains in the crash sites.
"Piece of cake." Audrey smirked after they landed.
Everyone then came out of the plane as Atticus panted a bit before catching his breath after his stunt.
"Oh, my beautiful land!" Mole beamed as he rushed over to a rock in the snow, hugging it and kissing it before flinching as he got frostbite instantly. "Mm! My lips!"
"I am sorry for your flying machine, Audrey." Kida frowned apologetically.
"Easy come, easy go." Audrey shrugged casually.
"Look at the bright side. We're alive." Milo said with a small smile.
Then suddenly, something rumbled from beneath the snow as someone was coming by.
"But we're not exactly getting a warm welcome." Lee warned the others as he held Estelle's hand.
"Maybe it's a snow monster selling snowcones." Cherry smirked.
"You have an interesting sense of humor." Jenny said to her.
"I do my best." Cherry nodded.
Out of the snowy haze emerged a massive snow monster, and unlike the one in Cherry's joke, he was anything but friendly.
"Maybe I'll give 'im a present." Vinnie declared as he shot a rocket at the snow monster, blowing its arm off.
"Whoa... Nice shot." Cherry commented.
"But of course." Vinnie nodded.
The snow monster snarled and soon regenerated a new arm in the old one's place.
"Oh, great," Vinnie groaned. "More hocus pocus."
"Stay close to me, Otika." Kida said, holding her daughter close before they and the others began to run away for their lives.
"Looks like Frosty here is anything but jolly or happy!" Lionel remarked as he took off.
"Why couldn't it had been that snowman who offers snowcones?" Cherry grumbled as they took off.
The snowman stomped after them before blowing more ice breath and froze them all solid like a bunch of statues.
Eventually, someone came and found them and began to defrost them once they were in a safer position.
"Well, Nancy, I'm surprised you didn't fight back." Cherry teased Atticus.
"I couldn't react in time!" Atticus defended. "Besides, at least we're saved... Uh... Who saved us anyway?" he then wondered as he looked around.
"I bid you welcome to the Hall of Odin." A certain voice greeted from atop of a royal throne.
Obby snarled and began to back t Hellstrom.
"Listen, Mr. Hellstrom, you've caught some bad breaks but there's no reason to take it out on the world." Milo began to explain as he held Obby back.
"I know you." Hellstrom glared.
"It's the spear," Milo continued. "Its power is one of destruction. It will destroy you... All of us."
"Ha! I know you," remarked Hellstrom. "You're the trickster... Loki! You seek the power of my spear!"
"No!" Milo protested.
"You'll not trick me!" Hellstrom declared, as he fired a blast from the spear, knocking Milo into Kida's arms.
"Uncle Milo!" Zofia cried as everyone surrounded Milo and Kida in concern.
"Trust me, this isn't Loki!" Atticus cried out. "And I should know."
"Stop, Mr. Hellstrom-" Kida told the man before approaching him calmly. "My lord, Odin. I know the power of your spear. The same power almost destroyed my father."
"Father?" Hellstrom asked, a little confused before he looked at her differently. "Of course. Brunhilde, my daughter. My Valkyrie. You've come to rule the new world at my side."
"...What?" The others blinked in confusion.
"No, I am not your daughter," replied Kida. "But I do care about you." She quickly grabbed the spear and ran, but a vicious, snarling wolf was right behind her. It slammed into her back, and knocked Kida into the wall, knocking her out.
"Kida!" Milo exclaimed, as Hellstrom picked up the spear.
"Neither man nor god will stop Ragnarok," Hellstrom declared as he sent some energy through the floor. "I cast thee out of Asgard... And to your DOOM."
The energy soon burst through the floor, sending them all falling suddenly.
"This would be so awesome if it wasn't so wrong!" Akito called out.
"We have to stop Hellstrom!" Emi added.
Everyone soon made it through the hole they fell in and soon ended up outside, hanging from a cliff together as they were back outside within the snow. Everyone clung to a branch like in The Adventures of Cliff Hanger book series and true to those stories, they couldn't hold on much longer.
"Do not drop me." Mole warned as Audrey caught him before he had a mighty big fall.
"You could lay off the eclairs, you know." Audrey suggested, running as she tried to hold him as strongly as she could.
"I cannot help it. It's the creme filling." Mole defended before he began to put his hands together.
"Great, now how do we get out of this?" Vincent complained.
"No clue." Akito replied.
"This kinda stuff never happens to my brother!" Irwin yelped.
"Mole! We need you up here!" Milo called.
"Go away!" Mole replied. "I am praying!"
"Mole, we got one chance!" Lionel told him. "We need'ja to dig!"
"Ze Mole STAYS!" Mole protested, crossing his arms.
"MOLE!" The others shouted.
"Oh... Fine!" Mole relented as he started to make his way up. "Eet ees always Mole zat must save ze day..." he muttered.
"Well, at least when it comes to digging." Cherry shrugged nonchalantly.
Mole soon began to climb up over Audrey, Felicity, and Zofia.
"Oof! Ow!" Zofia yelped.
"Hey, watch it!" Audrey warned him. "Don't make me sorry I saved you."
"A good zing zat you are not any skinnier, Milo," Mole teased as he continued to climb up, now having his boot in Milo's face. "Perhaps you should eat more eclairs."
"Get on with it!" Cherry sharply demanded.
"You know, I'm not used to zis going up," Mole said as he brought out his headlight, looking ready to dig. "As a digger, I dig down, deep into ze earth. See, of course you may 'ave noticed I am rather afraid of 'eights and-"
"DIG!" The others urged.
Mole then began to dig away as he needed to.
"I just hope we're not too late once we find Aunt Kida again." Felicity said hopefully.
MEANWHILE, AT THAT VERY MOMENT...
Kida reawakened to find that she was dressed up in Norse god wear, seated in a throne of sorts.
"You see?" asked Hellstrom. "You are a warrior-born. My Brunhilda... My daughter."
Kida walked up to the man to face him. "I am not your daughter. I am Kida'kagashi, Queen of Atlantis!" she declared. "What have you done with my friends?"
"I cast them out, Brunhilde, into the abyss below." Hellstrom stated, refusing to see her as anyone other than Brunhilda.
"NO!" Kida cried out as he even took the crystal.
"It could not be helped," Hellstrome told her, walking off before Mole poked his head out from one of the stone floor tiles before smiling at Kida, giving her a thumb's up as Otika also popped her head out, waving before they hid before Hellstrom could see them. "We must go, daughter. The Chaos Lord of Fire must be awoken before sundown. Today must be Ragnarok." he then told her.
"Yes," Kida nodded, playing along as she knelt on the floor before she got back up and followed him out of the room. "Let us leave. Quickly."
Mole soon came back out as he looked around the room after it was emptied.
"What do you see, Father?" Otika asked softly.
"He's using the spear to carry them to the volcano." Milo informed.
"What else is out there?" Audrey asked, trying to look out the window with him.
"His 100-foot bodyguard," Milo replied as he saw the snow monster back outside. "And I see our only way out, this big wooden door."
"All right, no problem, we'll just open it by-" Atticus soon began.
BOOM! The door was soon broken down and busted open due to explosives that could only be from one source.
"Just call me the doorman." Vinnie commented as he patted his hands together after doing the job very easily.
"That's one way to bust 'em up." Lionel commented as he headed in.
Everyone soon came out into the snow, but there was still one major problem.
"So we can get out, but we still can't go anywhere." Milo noted.
"Dang it." The kids complained.
"Heh! We are trapped!" Mole cried out. "What are we to do, ride this door down the stairs like a ski jump?"
Milo and Atticus suddenly looked back with hopeful smiles.
"Say... Why not?" Atticus smiled hoefully.
"Seriously?" Cherry deadpanned.
"This is not how I imagined my Thanksgiving vacation." Mo grumbled sickly.
"Ah, buck up, wouldja?" Lionel remarked. "Besides... It sounds fun, anyways!"
"Oh, non. Non, non, non, non, NOOOOOOO!" Mole shrieked as he soon found himself on the door, riding it down the hill with the others.
Obby stuck his head out like a regular dog sticking its head out the window with its tongue dangling in the windy surroundings.
"I believe that we should all lean." Mole suggested nervously.
"Move over, Mole," Audrey suggested. "I'll pilot this thing."
"Uh... Move over where?" Felicity blinked.
"Never you mind that," Audrey told her. "Everybody lean left!"
Everyone soon leaned and hopped up a bit as they sled right in between the snow monster's legs, though Mole messed it up a bit.
"Mole, your other left." Audrey told him.
"Whoa! Look out! Roadblock!" Akito called out.
They then moved the door sled, though Milo ended up getting knocked down in the back, dangling with his legs skidding across the snow. "Pull me up!" He then cried out.
"No, Milo. We could use you like a rudder." Vinnie suggested.
"Oh, come on!" Akito complained. "How is that fair?"
"Never mind the logic of how we can all fit on one door." Felicity snarked.
Vinnie soon tossed out another stick of dynamite before it exploded and the snow monster now only had one leg, but still wasted no time in hopping after the group. He then reached his hands down, trying to grab onto Milo in the back before getting stuck on the ground suddenly with his hands grabbing into the snow.
"Yeah, he's gonna have a limp after that one." Vinnie then noted.
