10 Years Earlier…

Natara stirred from her deep sleep as she rubbed her eyes to see a shadow moving along the hallway wall towards her room. She held back a yawn as she turned over to go back to sleep, only to be disturbed as her door flew open with a loud bang as it hit the wall.

Shawn:" Nat! Nat! Wake up! You have got to see this!"

Natara sat up and glared at Shawn as he sat on the end of her bed with a number of thick files in his hands.

Natara:" Shawn whatever it is, can it not wait until a more reasonable hour?!"

Shawn:" Look I'm sorry I woke you but you need to see this!"

Natara groaned as she rubbed her eyes to adjust her vision to the sudden brightness of the room.

Natara:" Fine, what is it?"

Shawn placed the files across Natara's bed as she tried to make sense of what was in front of her.

Natara:" So tell me what exactly I'm looking at here."

Shawn:" Okay so I was going through the log books and get this; West's last recorded coordinates place both him and his crew right outside the Bermuda triangle."

Natara:" Okay?"

Shawn:" Well don't you get it? It explains so much; why West and his crew mysteriously disappeared and why no one recovered anything from the expedition during the searches years after."

Natara looked at the files intently as she fixed her eyes on the map in the top right corner. As she read the coordinates, all the information quickly pieced together like a jigsaw in her mind as she quickly looked back at Shawn.

Natara:" So you're saying that the entrance to this Lost City in the-"

Shawn:" The Bermuda triangle exactly! This is the breakthrough I've been working for Nat! I'm so close I can feel it!"

Natara glanced at Shawn with deep skepticism in her eyes as she flipped through the files.

Natara:" I don't know Shawn. What makes you so certain that these documents are even reliable? There have been hundreds of professors and other archaeologists that have all claimed to have found the final resting place of West's expedition and they map out over five continents. So what makes this claim any different?"

Shawn smirked with a conceited look in his eyes as he moved closer towards Natara; pointing to a small signature in the bottom left corner.

Shawn:" I know it's reliable because Jared M. West wrote it himself."

Natara:" Wait a second, so these are West's log books you were looking for?"

Shawn:" What did I tell you?!"

Natara:" Well where did you find them?"

Shawn:" Would you believe in the Jared West exhibit in a London museum."

Natara leaned back against the wall with her arms folded and an amused smirk across her face.

Natara:" Right because I'm sure they'd just let you walk straight out the building with those documents and not say a thing."

Shawn laughed awkwardly as he rubbed the back of his neck; Natara's smirk instantly disappeared as she sat forward with a look of concern across her face.

Natara:" Wait a minute, oh no tell me you didn't! You didn't steal these documents did you?"

Shawn:" Borrowed, I'll take them back!"

Natara:" Oh no Shawn!"

Natara quickly stood to her feet and glared at Shawn.

Shawn:" Nat, you said it yourself! Any other information is unreliable; this was written by Jared M. West himself. All I have to do is follow him and it'll lead me right to the entrance of the Lost City!"

Natara placed her hands on her hips while shaking her head in disapproval.

Natara:" No, this is going too far! I understand that you want to make a name for yourself in this field but this is not the way to do it!"

Shawn:" So what are you saying?! You're giving up on me?"

Natara:" I never said I supported this from the beginning! This is getting out of control Shawn!"

Shawn quickly gathered his files together and rose to his feet as he turned glaring at Natara.

Shawn:" Fine if you're not with me on this, I'll do it alone! It's only person I can rely on anyway!"

With that, Shawn stormed out the room as he slammed the door behind him so hard the pictures shook on the walls. Natara stood silently as she glanced at the closed door and sighed deeply.

Present…

Green, deep, dark, light filtered through the top branches, as Mal and Natara cautiously made their way through the jungle. With only the sounds of tropical birds singing in the tree tops along with the twigs breaking under foot, Mal stayed alert as his hand hovered over his holster attached to his waist.

Natara:" Come on Kai, where are you?"

Mal:" We'll find him Nat, just be careful. I've got a bad feeling that we're not the only ones on this island."

Natara's eyes wondered to the ground up ahead as she ventured off in front to examine the familiar shapes pressed into the mud.

Natara:" Footprints; let's hope they're Kai's."

Mal:" Nat! Over here! You've got to see this!"

Natara glanced up to see Mal had disappeared; she rose to her feet and followed his voice to find him stood by some old ruins of a gate arch. The area was overgrown with trees and vines as they slowly slithered through the cracks in the rock. Natara stood by Mal's side as the two observed the long forgotten gateway.

Mal:" There's some kind of inscription across the top, think you can make it out?"

Natara:" No, I don't recognize the symbols. It looks like some kind of door or gateway but that's doesn't seem possible, it doesn't lead to anything. There's nothing here."

Mal took a closer look as he traced his hands across the stones surface; he turned back to Natara when his hand came across a small carving in the rock.

Mal:" Looks like something fits in here or it did."

Natara:" Hmmm this is fascinating, it's 14th century time period maybe older."

Mal:" Wait maybe we could-"

Mal paused as the sound of an echoing gunshot stopped him in his tracks. Mal and Natara shared the same apprehensive look on their faces as they both drew their own guns from their holsters.

Natara:" That sounded like it came from the crash site."

Mal:" Come on, let's check it out and be careful."

Natara nodded as Mal took off in front, Natara quickly following to suit as they raced back to the crash site. As the approached the beach, Mal narrowed his eyes to see a figure rummaging through the plane wreckage. Mal nodded to Natara as the two ran towards the wreckage stopping hastily in their tracks as they stood with their guns trained on the unwanted visitor.

Mal:" Hey!"

Kai:" Don't shoot; I'm too pretty to die!"

Mal and Natara lowered their guns when they identified their intruder as Kai as he stood with his hands in the air, his legs shaking with fear.

Mal:" Kai?"

Kai:" Mal! Natara! Thank god you guys are alive!"

Kai tackled Mal in an awkward man hug, as Mal stood with a frown across his face after noticing Natara smirking in amusement.

Mal:" Okay Kai I missed you too buddy; you can let go now."

Kai took a step back and cleared his throat as Natara rolled her eyes while holding back a laugh.

Natara:" Listen as touching as this reunion is, do you think you could tell us what the hell happened back there?"

Kai:" See that's the thing Natara, I don't know."

Mal:" Oh no, don't give me that crap! You have been flying that plane for four goddamn years so don't tell me you don't know!"

Kai:" Mal I'm serious! Everything was fine and then the next minute all the power, the engine just shut down on me!"

Mal glanced down at the floor and let out a deep sigh of defeat.

Mal:" Okay then, so what now?"

Kai:" Well I'll take a look at the plane and see if I can fix her up."

Mal:" Okay then get to it!"

Kai:" I already was until you two pointed a gun at my head."

Mal:" Heh sorry about that, but you can't too careful!"

Kai:" Heh…right!"

With a deep huff, Kai disappeared around the front of the plane while Mal and Natara sat by a makeshift campfire. As night slowly began to creep across the sky, the crackling fire casted flickering shadows over the two as they sat in silence. The silence was quickly broken by Kai as he moved the remaining debris from the plane wreckage as he made his way over to Mal and Natara.

Natara:" Well?"

Mal:" Yeah how's it looking?"

Mal and Natara quickly stood to their feet, both anticipating a hopefully positive answer. Kai wiped some dirt from his face with his sleeve as he glanced at Mal and Natara, letting out a deep sigh.

Kai:" It's no use guys, it's completely busted."

Natara:" Are you sure you can't fix it?"

Kai:" Positive, all the tools I had I lost in the crash; they're probably on the bottom of the Atlantic ocean by now!"

Mal:" So we're stuck here?! Well that's just great!"

Mal kicked a nearby rock in frustration as he stormed off away from the camp, as Natara went to follow him Kai gently pulled her back.

Kai:" Let him go, he'll calm down eventually."

Natara sent Mal a glance of concern as she went to sit by the campfire once again. Kai quietly sat opposite her as the two stared silently into the flames. Kai's attention was then caught as Natara quickly rose to her feet, dusting the sand from her clothes.

Natara:" I'm going to go check on Mal."

Kai:" Okay just leave me here all alone! It's fine!"

Natara:" Kai I'll be right back, I'm sure you'll be fine for a minute or two!"

Kai:" Unless something eats me first."

Natara:" Bye Kai."

Natara shook her head as she followed the path through the trees to Mal. She quietly sat down beside him on the rock he was rest on.

Natara:" Hey."

Mal:" Hey."

Natara:" Look you shouldn't get mad at Kai, this isn't his fault."

Mal looked down and sighed.

Mal:" Yeah I know."

Natara:" Why don't you come back and the three of us can try to figure out a way to the get out of here."

Mal smiled as he glanced into Natara's eyes, gently leaning across as he softly met her lips with a kiss.

Mal:" Yeah."

Natara jumped down from the rock, taking Mal's hand in hers as the two walked back.

Natara:" Besides I was kind of worried leaving Kai on his own."

Mal:" I thought you said he was smarter than the two of use combined?"

Natara:" Fixing up planes, yes. Alone and unarmed in the jungle, not so much."

Mal smirked as the two finally found their way back to the campsite, only to find it empty.

Natara:" Kai! Kai where are you?"

Mal:" Kai? Kai!"

Their attention was caught as they heard shouting coming from within the jungle. Drawing their weapons from their holsters, they both rushed towards the voices. As they came out to a clearing, Mal pulled Natara behind a small stone wall for cover. As they both peered over the wall, they saw a small group of armed men huddled around multiple jeeps. Mal leaned closer to Natara as his voice dropped to a harsh whisper.

Mal:" Who the hell are these guys?"

Natara:" I don't know but they've got Kai!"

Mal:" Ah hell!"

Natara:" So…got a plan?"

Mal:" I'm working on it!"
