The Gummi Ship had landed on an inhabited world, but unknown, since apparently part of the improvements intended to make Eve with the communicators was not possible with the material that had now, also noticed that the ship seemed to have received a lot of damage in the past, and needed a repair for safety, though she doubted she could find the necessary material. Because of this, Kairi, Edea, and Rena were forced to stay at a nearby motel where they landed to avoid suspicion. For two days, Eve, with the help of the others, tried to repair the Gummi Ship, without success. Nevertheless, it was a relief; at least know that they had not heard of the Fallen, nor the Heartless, or anything similar, although that was beginning to get boring.

After another unsuccessful day of repairing the Gummi Ship, the three girls thought about leaving Eve to work with the Gummi Ship and rest. But when they approached the road to go to the motel, a black car, like a four-seater, stopped near them. When the car's window went down, the three saw a blonde woman at the wheel. "Kairi?"

"How do you know who I am?" Kairi asked, surprised that someone from that world knew who she was immediately.

"May I ask who you are?" Edea asked.

"My name is Helga Sinclair, and if you want answers, climb into the car, please." The woman said.

"No, thanks, Mrs. Sinclair. My mother taught me to not talk to strangers or go in their cars. Even if they know my name." Kairi said, following her way with the others.

"You must refer to the adoptive mother." Miss Sinclair said, making Kairi stop in place. "Of course, you don't know the biological one." Now this woman had acquired her attention.

"What do you want?" Kairi asked, ready to call her Keyblade, while Rena and Edea grab their weapons.

"You see, my boss wants to talk to you. It has something very intriguing to propose to you and your friends." Helga explained.

"Your boss?" Rena asked. "Who is your boss?"

After an hour's drive, Helga took the three to a large mansion surrounded by a fence, with the name 'WHITMORE' on the wall of the fence. Upon entering the mansion, they were surprised to see the number of valuables that were in the mansion, and it was only the reception! All three were amazed at the objects I had, but Helga didn't care to stay still.

"Quick. Mr. Whitmore doesn't like to be kept waiting." Helga warned, and the three moved quickly toward her, next to a kind of elevator. As they descended, Helga told them how to behave before Mr. Whitmore while they managed defects in the clothing they were more presentable. When the elevator stopped down, they found a huge office with a large bookcase on one side of the room and a giant aquarium doing the opposite end wall of the library. The three left the elevator, and Helga goes inside. "And relax, it doesn't bite... often." She said, closing the elevator and going up.

The three stood watching the room until they found a table, and Edea approached it and noted that there were some reports on it. Edea looked and gasped to see what they contained. "Rena, Kairi!"

They approached Edea and saw the documents. These documents talked about them, including Eve! Apparently, this Whitmore knew that Kairi was from Radiant Garden, despite living in Destiny Islands, everything happened because of Organization XIII, the Second Keyblade War, everything! Even had information about Rena and Edea.

"But how?" Kairi asked in front of so much information in one place.

"It's nothing strange for me." Said an old man who was nearby, doing Yoga at that time, creaking bones and some surprising the girls. "Preston Whitmore. A pleasure, Kairi." He said trying to shake the 'foot' to Kairi, while she returned the 'greeting', though a bit confusing. "A bit of Yoga?" Preston said, making several rare positions.

"No, thanks." Kairi, confused by the situation said.

"How you got this information?" Rena asked.

"I have my contacts. I even know a duck with lots of money. You have no idea what it cost me to acquire that information. But of course, not being of this world, the information is more expensive."

"Wow, that's interesting," Edea said, looking at Mr. Whitmore.

"This, may I know what we're doing here?" Kairi asked.

Whitmore then stood and went to change clothes behind a curtain. "You see, I'm looking for crew and people for an expedition that could change history."

"An expedition to where?" Rena asked.

"To Atlantis, of course," Whitmore replied, going already elegant in a white suit.

"The what?" The three asked at the same time.

"An ancient civilization of this world that is said to be sunken at sea for millennia. A civilization that may have traces of the history of the Keyblade War!" Whitmore explained.

"The war, I understand, but why us?" Asked Kairi.

"Because am I gather only the most skilled! The best of the best of the best! A Princess of Heart expert in the Keyblade able to use the power of Eidolons; an elf archer with centuries of practice and mastery of the bow and the elements; and an excellent swordswoman who has been able to defeat, alongside other three brave young, a god of destruction! And without counting the very own Nasod Queen, although surely she doesn't want to accept this expedition, knowing what I have in the reports about her." Whitmore explained.

"Well, thanks for the compliments, but seriously, why do you want to make an expedition to such a place?" Edea asked.

Then Mr. Whitmore sighed. "If I'm honest, I do it all for him." He said and looked at a picture of a fireplace, where he and another person came out dressed as an explorer. "Thaddeus Thatch, best explorer that has ever existed, and a good friend. And a real stubborn when it came to Atlantis and a journal wearing there! You have no idea how bent my ear with stories about that old book. I didn't buy it for a minute." Whitmore explained. "So eventually I got tired and made a bet with him. I said, "Thatch, if you ever actually find that so-called journal, not only will I finance the expedition, but I'll kiss you full on the mouth." He explained, taking a picture of a nearby table. "Imagine my embarrassment when he found the darn thing". Then he showed the photo. For the image, evidently disliking the fact of kissing themselves at the mouth.

Edea and Rena could not hold a small laugh at the scene. "Now I know it's gone, God rest his soul," Whitmore said leaving the photo on the table, and going to the fireplace. "But Preston Whitmore is a man who keeps his word, and I'll help his grandson, Milo James Thatch to finish the job. You hear that, Thatch! I'm going to the afterlife with a clear conscience, by thunder!" Preston said briskly but then sighed sadly. Kairi approached her to try to cheer him up. "He was a great man. You probably don't realize how great. Those buffons at the museum dragged him down, made a laughingstock of him. He died a broken man." Whitmore explained. " If I could bring back just one shred of proof." He sighed and then turned around. "What are we standing around for? We got work to do."

"But Mr. Whitmore, for that we need a vehicle," Edea explained.

"Fixed, we'll travel in style. It's all been arranged, the whole ball of wax. "

"But we also need crew," Edea said again.

"Taken care of!" Whitmore said playing with his cane a large number of documents.

"We need engineers and geologists."

"Got'em all. the best of the best." He said placing some documents on the table to see them all. "Gaetan Moliere, geology and excavation. The man has a nose for dirt; Vincenzo Santorini, demolition. Busted him of a Turkish prison; Audrey Ramirez, Don't let her age fool you. She's forgotten more about engines than you or I will ever know… If you are interested they're the same crew that brought the Journal back from its hideout in Iceland."

"Really?" Edea asked.

"Completely! In addition, we have an expert to help us translate this journal." Whitmore said. "We just need an expert Keyblade user, a swordswoman, and an elf sniper." Said the old man

"Well, so it's decision time. You can stay in that seedy motel while your Nasod friend repairs a Gummi Ship that it's a miracle that has not been broken in two, or you're going to accompany us on an adventure that could change history, and even help you find information about your gifts, Kairi."

"Wow, this is for real," Kairi said, completely surprised.

"Now you're getting it on," Whitmore said.

"Good, but still can't let Eve, we must warn her," Rena said.

"Some guys I have had gone to warn her as we speak, with all the details," Preston said.

"But what if the Fallen appear and attack the ship?" Edea asked.

"A truck will take her to a secure hangar where some engineers will help Eve with what they need."

"But we have to get our stuff!" Kairi said.

"Packed."

"My gosh..." commented Rena, surprised by how this man worked.

"My friend Thadeus had a saying, Our lives are remembered by the gifts we leave our children.' I know you don't remember exactly your past, but if what happened in the Multiverse, after closing the Keyhole, happened, it is possible that at Atlantis you can find another Keyhole that can help you. It's a possibility, so you have to take it." Whitmore explained while Kairi looked down, thinking about it. "Atlantis is waiting. What do you say?"

Kairi looked at Edea and Rena for a moment, until they nodded. Kairi also nodded and looked at Whitmore.

"Okay, we accept!" Kairi said.

"That's right. If there is an ancient civilization, maybe we can get something useful from it. And while Eve repairs the Gummi Ship, we can help here." Edea said.

"Absolutely," Rena said. "And when we leave?"

The next day the three were on a massive ship in the ocean, not knowing what to do, looking for the place where they should board a submarine that should take on the expedition. While searching, they found a young person who seemed to be throwing up in the sea, as if was dizzy.

"Excuse me, are you okay?" Kairi asked the man.

"Yes, I think so." The man said, dizzy. "Carrots. Why is there always carrots? I didn't ever eat carrots." Then he looked at them. "Excuse me, I'm Milo Thatch, and you're?"

"We are Kairi, Edea Lee, and Rena. We are on the expedition. "Kairi said.

"Well, I think that you are too young for this," Milo said

"Don't underestimate us," Rena said. "Also, from me, when I had your age, your great great grandfather had not been born."

"Wow, what a thing..." Milo said, stretching the collar nervously.

Soon began to announce to everyone to go to the launch bay, but clearly, they didn't know where to look, so during the search, Milo asked somebody, proving to be Helga, who at the time was arguing with an elderly miner-looking over the food would have to carry the expedition. They finally managed to find the place after following more crew members, which looked more like soldiers, until they realized they were on a platform that went down to a lower section, where they found a huge submarine.

"That IS a submarine," Edea said while advancing all surprised to the huge submarine until someone hit Milo from behind.

"Hey, Junior. If you're lookin' for the pony rides... they're back there." A man said, charging a lot of boxes, soon walking to their side.

"Excuse me. Excuse me? You dropped your dy-dy-dy-dynamite." Milo said, holding a stick of dynamite with surprise to learn what he had in his hand, letting out a small chuckle. The three also were frightened to see the stick. Milo approached him, watching his cargo. "What else have you, uh, got in there?"

The man, Vincenzo, grabs the stick. "Oh, eh, gunpowder, nitroglycerin, notepads, fuses, wicks, glue, and... paper clips. Big ones." He described. "You know, just, uh, office supplies." Then he left.

"This man is a walking powder keg," Rena said, stunned, while Kairi and Edea nodded.

"Milo, girls! Where you been?" Whitmore called, dressed as a captain, accompanying a huge, muscular man in military dress. The four approached them. "I want you to meet Commander Rourke. He led the Iceland team that brought the Journal back."

"Milo Thatch. Pleasure to meet the grandson of old Thaddeus." Rourke said, shaking hands with Milo. "And I suppose that these three girls are our honor guests you told me. I still don't understand how that 'mad genius' convinced me to accept all three of them."

Kairi was about to reply to that comment, when heavy footsteps caught her attention, finding a huge white robot bigger than Rourke himself, with a green lens on the head. "You should know that when I do calculations and compile information, I am infallible, and with the limited data we have about Atlantis, I thought they might be useful."

"Milo, Kairi, Edea, and Rena, I want you to meet Master Brain, the greatest genius I've ever known. Knows literally everything, from mechanical engineering to organic biology." Whitmore presented. "He helped me find all staff and helped design the equipment that we use."

"Sorry, but if he knows everything, why is he on this expedition?" Edea asked.

"I don't think a visit to Atlantis is a waste of time for me." Master Brain clarified.

"Seriously, is there a body inside that?" Milo asked, confused to see the huge robot.

"My mind is far from here if you're interested." Master Brain replied, causing Milo to laugh sheepishly.

"Come on, calm down everyone. We'll be together a long time, so we'll have to get along, okay?" Rourke asked.

"For me, there is no problem." Master Brain said.

Neither Kairi nor the other replied, not taking her eyes on Master Brain, having suspicions about him.

"Well, if we behave throughout the trip, this should be enriching for all of us," Rourke said cheerfully, but Edea notices that he said that last sentence with double meaning, but didn't know why.

Soon it was announced that all must now climb into the submarine, which they did, saying goodbye to Mr. Whitmore, and soon the submarine dived into the ocean to start their expedition.

While they were on board the 'Ulysses', all could get an idea of how little 'conventional' it was the people who had to work, and apparently the only 'sane' were Milo, Helga, Rourke, and Master Brain. Soon all team members were called to the bridge of the submarine. The first to arrive was Kairi and the others, knowing the rest of the 'motley' group and the next was Mile, who was greeted by Rourke.

"OK, everybody." Called Rourke to warn the others crew members on the bridge. "I want you to give Mr. Thatch, your undivided attention."

"Good afternoon. Can everyone hear me OK?" Milo asked in front of a whiteboard, quite nervous before the rest of the group, creating tension at the moment, and Milo tries to find a way to eliminate that tension. "How 'bout some slides?" Milo asked going to a chamber slide.

"The... the first slide is a depiction of a creature. A creature so frightening, that sailors were said to be driven mad by the mere sight of it." Milo said putting a slide of the 'monster': A picture of him on the beach with a swimsuit and float, with a fishing rod and a cat trying to catch the bait. The laughter in the group was immediate. Even Kairi and the others could not contain it. "Uh, I'm sorry. That's... wrong." Milo said, trying to see what was the correct image.

"Amateur..." Master Brain said in a mockery tone.

"Geez, I used to take lunch money from guys like this," Audrey said to Vincenzo.

Soon Milo placed the correct picture, a drawing of a portion of a book with a picture of a snake-like monster with two large claws, tearing a ship. "This is an illustration of the Leviathan... the creature guarding the entrance to Atlantis," Milo explained. "It's a mythical sea serpent. He's described in the Book of Job. The... the Bible says... 'Out of his mouth go burning lights... sparks of fire shoot out.' But more likely it's a carving or a sculpture... to frighten the superstitious."

"So we find this masterpiece. Then what?" Rourke asked.

"When do we dig?" Moliére said.

"Actually, we don't have to dig," Milo said, beginning to draw on the whiteboard. "You see, according to the Journal... the path to Atlantis will take us down a tunnel... at the bottom of the ocean, and we'll come up a curve... into an air pocket right here... where we'll find the remnants... of an ancient highway that will lead us to Atlantis." Milo said after of draw everything "Kind of like the grease trap in your sink."

"Cartographer, linguist, plumber. Hard to believe he's still single." Helga asks.

"A path a little convoluted, from my point of view." Master Brain suggested. "Is there no another less labyrinthine route?"

"Not apparently," Edea answered.

"But even if we don't meet the authentic Leviathan we could find something else, like Heartless, or the Fallen," Kairi explained.

"Calm down, we are prepared for any contingency if those things appear. Although it would be a good way to see of what is made these things." Master Brain explained.

"Captain, you'd better come look at this, sir." A helmsman warned Rourke.

"OK, class dismissed," Rourke said going with the helmsman.

"The truth is that the question was correct," Audrey commented. "I wouldn't want to meet those ugly things, considering the stories I've heard of them."

"I heard that some of these 'Fallen' can be as big as a house, and even uglier than our friend 'Mole'," Vincenzo said. "But surely explodes into pieces like an ordinary animal."

"You have no idea how right you are," Kairi answered their comments.

The girls and Master Brain approached the bridge room, and from there, could clearly see a lot of shipwrecks of all times known in that world. Soon one of the operatives of radio, Packard, spotted something on the hydrophone, proving to be a strange noise, capturing the curiosity of everyone, without exception, but suddenly the noise stopped.

"This gives me a bad feeling," Rena whispered to Kairi, as she nodded.

When Rourke gave the order to turn back, the submarine was hit hard, but it was discovered that their attacker was the Leviathan itself, which was attacking them, swatting the submarine.

"Magnificent, don't you think?" Master Brain asked, looking at the Leviathan while being attacked.

"That's only for you!" Rourke said to Master Brain before looking at Helga. "Tell Cookie to melt the butter... and break out the bibs. I want this lobster served up on a silver platter."

"Load the torpedo bays! Subpod crews, battle stations!" Helga was interrupted in her orders after another hit from the Leviathan, taking the submarine with one of its claws, making Kairi and Milo fall to the glass, where they could see the Leviathan face to face.

"Jiminy Christmas! It's a machine!" Milo exclaimed seeing the Leviathan.

"Don't tell me!" Kairi exclaimed also.

"Launch subpods!" Rourke ordered, causing hundreds of subpods to leave the submarine and they soon began to attack the Leviathan, causing it to drop the submarine. "We're free. All ahead full." Rourke ordered.

The submarine began to move away as quickly as possible Leviathan while he was distracted with the subpdos, and soon the Ulysses began to respond by firing torpedoes against the mechanical beast, full impact, but the machine responded with a lightning that pierced the hull of the submarine, causing large amounts of water to enter therein also caused damage to the boiler threatening to explode, forcing Rourke to order the total evacuation from the submarine. Kairi and others headed to their submarine escape when they were caught by groups of Mermen.

"Fallen!" Kairi Exclaimed.

"They have no other time to show up?!" Helga said grabbing her gun and eliminating a merman with three shots.

Rena took her bow and began firing arrows at the approaching mermen, while Kairi and Edea eliminated the mermen that were very close to the group.

"We have no time for this! Kill only the ones blocking the way and run quick!" Helga ordered.

Despite the intrusion of the Fallen, all came to a submarine escape and managed to leave the Ulysses before it exploded by another shot from the Leviathan, but it began to pursue both them and the subpods survivors until they reached the entrance to the cave that should take them out of the reach of Leviathan. Fortunately, the cave led them to the cave air that Milo described.t

On the surface, they found ruins that acted as an entrance and set up a camp to recover, while worshiping all who died in the attack on Leviathan and those who were unable to submarine escape because of the Fallen. Rourke also stressed that their destiny was linked to Milo and his journal, making it clear how important they were now, but he also made it clear that the idea of Preston accepting Kairi and the other wasn't such a bad idea as he thought for just a moment.

After a setback when departing, everyone started to venture into the bowels of the earth, following the path described by Milo, despite the constant errors he committed in the translation of his book, and the constant jokes from the other members of the expedition could go on, despite Rena was the only one of all than sensed that something was following them in the dark, but Rourke said would surely be underground cave fauna. Finally, they reached a stone bridge that had a stone structure that gave off the light, Mole saying it was fluorescent light. It was decided to stop to rest there.

During dinner, Mole, Audrey, Vinny, Sweet, and Packard allowed Milo, Kairi, Rena, and Edea to sit with them, but not before Milo receive the 'joke air cushion' from Mole just before sitting down, but then it took a reprimand.

"Hey, Milo, don't you ever close that book?" Audrey asked.

"Yeah, you must've read it a dozen times by now," Sweet commented.

"At least," Edea commented.

"I know, but this... this doesn't make any sense," Milo answered, looking at the book. "See, in this passage here, the shepherd... seems to be leading up to something. He calls it the 'Heart of Atlantis'. It could be the power source the legends refer to. But then it just... it cuts off. It's almost like there's a missing page."

"The Heart of Atlantis thing doesn't like me," Kairi said. "Sounds like the World's Heart."

"Maybe," Rena replied without looking, as she was looking at Rourke and Master Brain talk to each other, but couldn't know about what.

"Kids, relax. We don't get paid overtime." Vinny said.

"I know, I know," Milo replied. "Sometimes I get a little carried away. But, hey, you know, that's what this is all about, right? I mean, discovery, teamwork, adventure. Unless, maybe... you're just in it for the money." Milo asked. Obviously, all of them replied that they were in it for the money.

"We're here to kill time while our friend repairs our transport," Edea answered. "Just ask Whitmore when we get back."

"He told me that maybe in Atlantis could find out about my past. And I hope as it would be wrong not finding anything after being attacked by a mythical machine." Kairi said.

"Well, I guess I set myself up for that one," Milo said sighing while rubbing his neck with his hand.

"What, is something wrong with your neck?" Sweet asked.

"Oh, yeah, I must've hurt it when-" Milo answered when the doctor cut min and turned his neck from side to side, cracking his neck.

"Better?" Sweet asks.

"Yeah!" Milo answered, surprised.

Rena, knowing what had happened, asked as he did, and Sweet said he learned it from an Arapahoe healer, he being part of the tribe and his father being a military doctor established in Kansas, explaining how Sweet went from being a medical student at a military doctor like his father. Edea was also curious, but everything was ruined when Coockie tried to feed them a bowl of his crappy meat, all saying they were already full.

While they when to sleep, the girls learned about Milo's Grandpa's life, who found the Journal, and for how he turned an intellectual. They also knew that Aurdrey was a chief engineer since his father retired and he wanted two boys, although he had her and her sister, who was preparing for the championship boxing at the time, while she was saving to open a workshop with her father. They also learned something useless: Packard slept naked, and tends to sleepwalk, forcing everyone to sleep blindfolded. Vinny, however, his story was rare: he worked in a flower shop, until an explosion in a house next changed his life that day, turning him into an explosives expert. Needless to say, all of them refused to tell the Mole's story.

The girls slept in a shared tent until they heard Milo shouting 'fire' like crazy, awakening them. Looking at what happened, they began to raise the alarm too.

At the same time, Master Brain looked toward Milo's voice's origin. "If they weren't necessary, I would kill them."

"Thatch, go back to bed. And you three too." Rourke ordered angry by the noise when Master Brain came near. "What's that noise?!"

He soon discovered that there was a fire in the camp because some bugs were provoking fires on contact, and when it became clear that it wasn't possible to stop the fire, Rourke ordered everybody to cross the bridge with everything they had. Everyone started to climb into the trucks under the attack of insects that cause some to explode until an explosion caused a chain reaction in the cave that made the bridge break and all vehicles fell by a pending until they stopped, being completely dark.

Rourke lit a match at that moment "All right, who's not dead? Sound off." Everyone started to moan in pain from the blow, except for Master Brain, seeing that all were well. Rourke then lit a headlight from a truck. "Audrey, give me a damage report."

"Not as bad as it could have been," Audrey said, examining the vehicles at first sight. "We totaled rigs two and seven... but the digger looks like it'll still run. Lucky for us we landed in something soft."

"Uh, Pumice ash," Mole said examining the ground. "We are standing... at the base of a dormant volcano."

"Hold on. Back up. Are you sayin' this whole volcano... can blow at any time?" Sweet asked nervously.

"Only if there is a powerful explosion able to shake the whole volcano." Master Brain explained.

Everyone looked to Vinny, who was fixing a broken time bomb until he found that he was being watched. "Maybe I should do this later, huh?"

"We could maybe go out from the mouth, although it will be blocked by the magma up there." Master Brain said looking up.

"If we could blow the top off of that thing, we'd have a straight shot to the surface," Rourke suggested. "Mr. Thatch, what do you think?" He asked and looked around "Mr. Thatch?"

"The girls have disappeared too!" Helga said.

"We must find them!" Rourke said.

"For what? Things will go better without any of them." Master Brain said coldly.

"For your information, we need Thatch to translate the journal, because you aren't able to translate it!" Rourke replied. "And who knows what's out there, so you better make sure that your pets are not thinking about harming them! Remember our agreement! We need at least both of them if there are histories of this alleged Keyblade War and other worlds! When we find what we seek they will be all yours, but until then, forget about it and obey! "

"And you remember that you wouldn't be here without me! Remember it, everyone!" Master Brain said looking around, while others lowered their heads.

Meanwhile, Kairi started to wake up after the fall, and saw a group of people with masks surrounding Milo, and watched as one of them put a crystal in a gash, healing immediately. Rena and Edea awoke, seeing what was happening until a noise frightened people, and began to flee, and clearly, Milo began to pursue them. Worried about him, Kairi and others followed Milo to the exit of the cave, until they stopped at the edge of a precipice, while the excavator crossed the wall, and all were close to where they were, watching all the same, amazed: A huge circular mass full of water with waterfalls on the edges, with an island in the middle of it.

"Sweet mother of Jefferson Davis!" Coockie exclaimed

"In the name of the El Lady!" Rena exclaimed.

"It's beautiful," Audrey said.

"Milo, I gotta hand it to you. You really came through." Sweet congratulated Milo.

"Absolutely true!" Kairi said. "In the end, you brought us here."

When they wanted to realize they were surrounded by masked people, pointing them with spears. Milo said that should be Atlanteans

One of them, the leader, began to speak to the group as a warning, but they could tell by its voice that was a woman. Milo tried to talk to them as he could, until the leader pulled her mask, revealing herself to be a young woman with white hair and blue eyes, following the conversation with Milo.

"What the hell they're saying?" Rena asked.

"Dunno. My knowledge is unaware of that dialect." Master Brain replied.

"What a help you are," Edea deadpanned.

As they talked, they soon realized that the dialect they spoke the Atlantean, was actually known in this world's languages. Mole recognized his language and said something in the ear of the leader, but clearly, she wasn't pleasant. So much so that the lady punched Mole's face, sending him flying into the Master Brain's metal leg.

"Ooh, I like her," Sweet said clapping.

"Hmm! 'Bout time someone hit him. I'm just sorry it wasn't me." Audrey commented.

"And she has a strong arm," Edea commented.

The other Atlanteans removed their masks and started to talk surprised by the expedition.

"How do they know all these languages?" Audrey asked.

"Their language must be based on a root dialect." Milo explained, "It's just like the Tower of Babel."

"Well, maybe English is in there somewhere." Rourke assumed.

"Maybe they know many languages." Master Brain said. "Tub I tbuod taht eseht snairabrab wonk siht egaugnal."

"You also speak the Sentinel's language? It's odd." Kairi asked looking at Master Brain.

"Eht egaugnal fo eht Touhtiw Esproc si ton egnarts ot su." The lady answered without problems to Master Brain. "Tub I ma desirprus taht uoy nac klat ti, latem daeh."

"TAHW?!" Master Brain asked surprised, while the other Atlanteans laughed.

"Okay, let's put this nonsense to a side, okay?" Rourke interrupted. "We are explorers from the surface world. We come in peace."

"Welcome to the city of Atlantis." The Atlantean exclaimed. "Come. You must speak with my father now." She said while grabbing Milo's hand.

"Squad "B," head back to the shaft," Rourke said to the soldiers. "We'll rendezvous in 24 hours."

After a long voyage, Rourke, Helga, Milo, and Kairi were taken by the Atlantean up what looked like an ancient throne hall and sitting in a real bed, an old man who seemed to be blind. Both began to speak in their own dialect, but it seemed that the father of the Atlantean was not very pleased with the group's presence, though Mido was the only one who was aware of the situation, and by his reaction, Kairi deduced that they could have problems if they were not careful. But Rourke tried to reason with the chief, but without much success, demanding them to leave Atlantis.

"May I respectfully request that we stay one night, sir?" Rourke asked after receiving a bit of advice from Milo. "That would give us time to rest, resupply... and be ready to travel by morning."

The king began to doubt whether or not to accept the proposal.

"You must accept his proposal, my lord." A new voice was heard, and behind the bed appeared an old bald man with a yellow beard, dark purple robe, and a scepter with a yellow orb in it. "At least that's what they need to recover."

"Ramuh, I ask you to stay away from this topic." The chief said to the old Ramuh.

"Do you think wrongly about expulsing without reason to some outlanders who have traveled a long way just to find our existence?" Ramuh said to the chief while he was still without an answer. "Even to a Princess of Heart?"

Kairi was surprised that this old man knew that detail about her. The leader continued to meditate until sighed. "Very well." The King accepted. "One night. That is all."

"Well, thank you, Your Majesty." Rourke thanked.

Everybody left the room, while Kairi gave a quick glance at the old man Ramuh, and Milo looked for a moment at the woman, before heading out the door.

"So, how'd it go?" Sweet asked seeing the group return.

"Well, the King and his daughter don't exactly see eye to eye," Milo explained. "She seems to like us OK, but the King... I don't know, I think he's hiding somethin'."

"If it wasn't for that advisor, we have been kicked out here," Kairi said. "That Ramuh, I think."

"Yes, but I don't know, I have read that name before, but don't know where," Milo said.

"Well, if he's hiding something, I want to know what it is," Rourke said.

"Maybe we can interrogate someone here to acquire the information." Master Brain said.

"Someone needs to talk to that girl." Suggest Helga, ignoring Master Brain's idea.

"Keep in mind that it has to be someone who can understand her and not scare her," Edea said.

"Good man, Thatch. Thanks for volunteering." Rourke said, surprising Milo.

"Why him? I could take care of this myself." Master Brain said.

"Sorry, but you scare at first sight," Rourke answered.
