At the World Tree Estate we were resting and reading books and watching TV.

Sheila then came in.

Magma: Hey, Sheila. Have you seen Nico? We haven't heard from him in hours.

Sheila: (sadly) That's what I want to talk to you about. Nico's... dead.

May: (shocked) WHAT?!

We Gasped in Shock!

Me: NO! He can't be gone!

Sam Sharp Loud: (sees tears in my eyes) J.D., it's okay for you to cry. We're all grieving for Nico right now.

Me: (Crying) Nico! NO!

We were crying hard.

Meanwhile in the city, Sid the Squid was in front of the evil, nefarious and ruthless mob boss Roman Sionis A.K.A. BLACK MASK!


Roman Sionis, better known as Black Mask, is a major antagonist from DC Comics, and is mainly an antagonist for Batman and Catwoman. He is a ruthless, greedy, and egotistical crime lord and mafioso. He is also the son of a very wealthy couple, that died in a fire, which he caused intentionally. He got their money and their company, but went bankrupt. His company was saved by Bruce Wayne, and Sionis hates him for taking everything he had, resulting in him becoming one of Gotham City's most ruthless crime lords. His mask is carved out of the black coffin of his father. Despite being sent to Arkham Asylum, his mild insanity is overshadowed by his greed that he was often reconsidered to be relocated to a regular prison instead of an institution due to knowingly and competently committing his crimes.

Past

Roman Sionis was born to a rich and influential family in Gotham City, his father being a very successful industrialist. His parents were narcissistic egotists who only cared about maintaining their social standing and public image; when a doctor dropped Roman on his head after his birth, they were more concerned about covering it up from their high society friends than their son's well being. During his childhood, Sionis was attacked by a rabid raccoon at the family's country estate, but his parents forbade him from telling anyone about the incident. They frequently dragged him around to parties and would force him to become friends with the children of other wealthy families in Gotham City, including the young Bruce Wayne. In reality, his parents hated social climbing nouveau riche types like the Waynes, but they continued affiliating themselves with them to preserve their public image. Sionis was deeply affected by his parent's hypocrisy, and he grew to despise them and the "masks" that they wore in public. After his high school graduation, Sionis was given a high ranking position in his father's company, the prosperous Janus Cosmetics, where he fell in love with a working class model named Circe. However, he was outraged when his parents disapproved and demanded that he break off his relationship with her. This proved to be the last straw for Sionis, who proceeded to burn down the family mansion, killing his parents.

With his parent's deaths, Sionis was free to propose to Circe and inherited his family's fortune and Janus Cosmetics, but lacked the business acumen needed to successfully run the company, running it into the ground by funding a failed line of face-paint makeup. In an act of desperation, he poured his money and resources into an experimental waterproof makeup, which he quickly released to the public without proper testing; the makeup turned out to be a deadly toxin that left hundreds of women disfigured. Following the incident, Circe broke up with Sionis in front of his entire company staff. Afterward, Bruce Wayne, now head of Wayne Enterprises, bought out Janus Cosmetics, relinquishing control from Sionis and appointing his own Board of Directors,

The Mask, Roman Sionis made from his father's coffin.

Sionis was driven mad from losing everything he had; unable to admit to his own mistakes that ruined his life, he turned his hatred towards Bruce Wayne. Donning a mask carved from his father's ebony coffin, he murdered three Wayne Foundation executives, planning to eventually assassinate Bruce himself to fulfill his revenge. In the ensuing battle with Batman, Sionis' mask became permanently burnt into his face as a living death mask, ironically granting his wish of removing all traces of his former identity. In the following years, he would become one of Gotham City's most ruthless and sadistic crime lords, commanding the False Face Society, an army of masked henchmen. With each loss to Batman, his empire shrank and his sadism grew.

During No man's land, Black Mask forgoed masks and the false facers, he instead carved up his own burnt face to resemble a human skull.

Among his many crimes were the destruction of a community center on Gotham's East End, the painstaking murder of Catwoman's brother-in-law, and driving her sister Maggie insane.

War Games

Believed to be dead at Catwoman's hands, Black Mask survived, and when Gotham City's gang wars erupted, part of a "war game" created by Batman that went horribly wrong. They created a power vacuum in the underworld that he could exploit to build a criminal empire. He murdered Orpheus, a costumed gang leader secretly working with Batman to end the unrest in Gotham, and he took the tragic hero's identity and gained the trust of the teen hero Spoiler. This way he learned information vital to his cause before he betrayed and tortured her. Following Batman's plans, the fake Orpheus rallied all the factions, revealed his true identity and initiated a spree of carnage. Black Mask became the undisputed ruler of the entire Gotham City underworld.

The End

Deathstroke later approached Black Mask offering him a place within the Society. Black Mask was eager to strengthen his increasingly tenuous grip on the underworld since Batman was targeting his operations. He accepted the offer and Captain Nazi and Count Vertigo were sent after Batman. However, these villains were defeated, and Batman ultimately prevented the Society from securing a foothold in Gotham.

In an attempt to "improve himself" after this debacle, Black Mask threatened the most important people in Catwoman's life, from Slam Bradley to Holly Robinson. Still thinking that Catwoman adhered to a strict no-kill rule, Black Mask was caught by surprise when Catwoman took revenge by shooting him in the head and blowing his jaw off. After the shooting, Selina Kyle passed the mantle of Catwoman to her friend Holly Robinson. Not long after, Holly was arrested for the murder of Black Mask.

In the "Battle For The Cowl" storyline, a new Black Mask surfaces. He has drugged several of Arkham Asylum's inmate, including the Great White Shark, Poison Ivy, Killer Croc, Victor Zsasz, Jane Doe and the Scarecrow, with a substance that can kill when triggered. Black Mask is quickly acknowledged as the leader of the group when he blows up much of Arkham Asylum. He then prepares for his ascension by destroying Two face and Penguins reign and becoming Gotham City's crime lord again. Eventually, the new Black Mask is revealed to be Jeremiah Arkham, administrator of Arkham Asylum. After being defeated by Batman, he is imprisoned in the rebuilt Arkham Asylum.

Blackest Night

During the Blackest Night event, Roman Sionis was reanimated as a member of the Black Lantern Corps and intended to hunt down and kill Selina Kyle. However, when Selina refused to show him any fear, Roman decided to provoke her by torturing her traumatized sister Maggie. Although Black Mask was eventually stopped, the experience proved too much for Maggie who later becomes an adversary of Catwoman.

New 52

Black Mask's history was altered for the New 52 continuity. Roman Sionis managed to survive being shot by Catwoman and eventually turned himself in at Arkham Asylum in exchange for medical treatment. Jeremiah Arkham only became Roman's brief successor while Roman himself recovered from his injuries. It soon becomes evident that Sionis is also more unhinged than before, as he now believes his iconic mask to be sentient and is compelled to carry out its wishes.

It's later revealed that Black Mask's origin had been changed for this continuity as well. Roman was the son of Richard Sionis, a powerful crime lord who founded the False Face Society and was known by the criminal underworld as "The Mask". With the help of his right hand David Franco (a.k.a. White Mask), Richard lorded over a large criminal empire that spanned across America and Europe. However, the False Face Society eventually split into two halves. One half remained loyal to The Mask while the other half accepted White Mask as their new leader. Roman Sionis desired to reunite the splintered society by taking control of both halves as Black Mask. He tracked down and killed David to usurp leadership of his faction before ending his elderly father's life while disguised as a nurse. With the False Face Society whole again due to Black Mask's efforts, Roman focused his attention on eliminating the gang's competition.

However, it appears his origin has been reverted to being the same as his Post-Crisis counterpart during the Year of the Villain saga.


Black Mask: So the famous Sid the Squid is nothing but a pathetic victim of circumstance. Just how stupid do you think I am?

Sidney: Excuse me?

Black Mask: You think I didn't hear the rumors of the third-rate moron who rubbed out Nico Chan? And now you say you accidentally made a fool of Petra Fina? Nobody's that lucky or stupid!

Sidney: Yes, I am. Honest!

Black Mask: Don't worry. You'll still get out of Gotham. (points gun at him) In a body bag!

But then

KRABBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!

A massive fiery explosion blasted a hole through the ceiling and in came NICO CHAN! ALIVE AND WELL and he kicked Black Mask in the face.

Nico: You will not touch him you black skullfaced motherfucker!

Black Mask: Nico Chan!

Black Mask's men came at him and Nico blasted them with an energy blast and obliterated them.

Black Mask: I thought you were dead!

Nico: It'll take more than an explosion done by you to kill me.

Sid: Nico, I'm so sorry. It was all..

Nico: I know Sid. It was all an accident. You didn't mean it.

Sid: So, no hard feelings?

Nico: Nah. It was all an accident. And besides, I know you would never hurt a fly. Now, let's get out of here before Black Mask wakes up!

Sid the Squid: Right!

Nico grabbed Sid and they flew away!

Nico: YEAH!

Nico and Sid then came back and we were overjoyed!

Me: NICO!

We hugged him!

Sixshot: Nico! You're alive!

Nico: It will take an accidental explosion to kill me.

May: Oh Nico! (Crying) (Hugs him) I'm so glad you're all right.

Nico: Of course May. I'm not going anywhere.

POW!

May punched Nico in the face.

May: YOU BLITHERING IDIOT! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW WORRIED I WAS ABOUT YOU!?

Nico: Okay I deserved that.

Me: But we're just glad you're okay Nico.

Nico had a nasty black eye.

Me: (Whistles) Nice shiner.

Nico: Nothing I can't heal from.

I saw Sid.

Me: Sidney the Squid. I've heard a lot about you.

Batman: Sid it's good to see you again.

Sid: I'm sorry guys. I've had a really rough day.

Laney: It's not your fault. It was all an accident.

Sid: You're not gonna take me to jail?

Punch: You've earned the right to be let off the hook after the day you've had. Besides, being a criminal doesn't suit you.

Me: No it doesn't Sid. Besides it was all an accident.

Batman: Yeah it happened to me once.

Sid: Batman! Good to see you again.

Batman: Same here Sid. Glad you and Nico are okay.

Nico: Yeah.

Sid: Thanks guys.

We let him go and he decided to get a normal life.

Scrapper: Now that we've cleared up the details of Nico's so called demise, let's go to Atlantis.

Me: Okay. This is gonna be really interesting. We're going to see the world of 2001's Atlantis The Lost Empire.

Varie: I remember that. This is gonna be so cool. Me, Maria, Stewie, William and some of us went to help in that world and it was so cool.

Venom: We remember that. It was really cool.

Stewie: It sure was. And it was awesome seeing Atlantis.

Meeryn: (Scottish Accent) There are other versions of Atlantis?

Nico: There sure are. But this will be the one from the 2001 movie Atlantis The Lost Empire.

Kairi: Cool! Sora didn't you go to that world?

Sora: I sure did. It was on the journey to Castle Oblivion.

Nico: This is gonna be so cool!

Laney; Yeah it is!

Lily: I am so looking forward to this!

Toiletnator, Robo-Blaze, Robo-Roxy, Demyx, Dark Laser, Skulker, Dr. Light and Eccentro then appeared.

Toiletnator: Can me, Robo Blaze, Robo Roxy, Demyx, Dark Laser, Skulker, Dr. Light, and Eccentro go with you guys?

Me: You all sure can. We're gonna see the beginning of the movie and then head in at the entrance to the Smithsonian Institution.

Nico: Cool! I've always wanted to see the Smithsonian.

Laney: Me too!

Me: We're gonna go through the whole movie of Atlantis The Lost Empire and see how it all happened.

Nico: AWESOME!

Lola: This is gonna be awesome!

Lana: YEAH!

Me: Lets head to the Simulator.

We went to the Simulator.


In the Simulator we got ready and waited for the right moment to go in. The Simulator activated and we saw a message appear.

"... In a Single Day and Night of Misfortune, the island of Atlantis disappeared into the depths of the sea." - Plato, 360 B.C.

We see the world as it was 10,000 years ago in the ocean. Suddenly there was a huge flash of light followed by a massive explosion!

KRABBBBBBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMM!

The explosion was powerful and it caused a massive megatsunami and numerous machines and vehicles were trying to escape it.

Me: WHOA!

Man 1: (Speaking in Atlantean) You fool! You've destroyed us all!

Man 2: (Speaking in Atlantean) The wave is gaining! We have to warn Atlantis!

Man 3: (Speaking in Atlantean) Too late!

They screamed as the wave enveloped them. The vehicles were flying through the lands until they got to the city of Atlantis as Storm Clouds rolled in and the waves were coming. A man went to the intercom.

Man 4: (Speaking in Atlantean) Everyone to the shelters! Everyone to the shelters!

Lightning struck everywhere as two guards rang a gong. It was chaos all over as people were going all over to get to shelter. Red Lights were going all over..

Guard 1: (Speaking in Atlantean) This way your highness. Quickly!

Queen: (Speaking in Atlantean) Kida, come on!

Young Kida left her toy.

Queen: Kida! Just leave it! There's no time!

Then a red light enveloped the queen and glowed aqua blue and her crystal reacted as her eyes turned aqua blue. The king saw this and the lights converged and energy surged and pulled the Queen up.

Young Kida: (Speaking in Atlantean) Mother! Mother!

Giant statues formed a powerful force field and blocked some of the citizens from getting in.

Me: WHOA!

Nico: We have to save them!

Me: Right!

I snapped my fingers and the citizens that were locked outside were saved by us and they were sent to the Atlantis here on our Earth.

Young Kida: Mother!

King: (Speaking in Atlantean) Close your eyes Kida! Look away!

There was a huge light and the force field formed a dome and the massive wave destroyed Atlantis and caused the whole city to sink into the depths of the sea for all eternity.

Nico: Unbelievable!

Lana: No kidding! That was intense!

Me: No kidding! Here we go.

We went in and the year was now 1914. We were in Washington D.C. at the turn of the 20th Century.

Me: Well here we are guys. Smithsonian Institution, Turn of the 20th Century Washington D.C.

Nico: This is so cool.

Laney: It sure is.

Dead End: This is the place. Too bad Milo's stuck at a lousy job.

Me: I know. He works as a Cartographer and Linguistics Man. And it's a darn shame that no one will listen to his proposal.

Nico: I know. Atlantis is so awesome. And it was horrifying seeing it disappear like that.

Meeryn: It sure was. I wonder what caused that explosion.

Me: Boy I have no idea. But the power that came off of it was unbelievable.

Eli: But it's just hard to imagine that it all happened 10,000 years ago.

Heidi: No kidding. And the Orichalcos was the main cause of Atlantis's destruction as well.

Alister: It was terrible that all that happened.

Rafael: It sure is.

We went in.

Me: Wow.

Nico: So awesome.

We went down to the Boiler Room and found Milo.

Demyx: Hey there. Are you Milo?

Milo: That's right. (Sees us.) Hey guys!

Varie: Milo you are doing great!

Varie hugged him.

Milo: How you doing Varie?

Varie: Doing Awesome. But this time I brought everyone.

Me: It's a pleasure to meet you Milo. Sorry we didn't meet earlier.

Milo: That's all right J.D. but its an honor to meet you all.

Nico: Same here Milo.

Me: I can't believe those blockheads won't listen to you about Atlantis.

Milo: I know.

Eli: Atlantis IS definitely real. (Shows an Atlantean Crystal Necklace) This crystal is from Atlantis.

Milo: Wow! Then Atlantis IS Real. (Sees Eli's scar) What happened?

Eli: Oh my scar? It's a long story.

Me: Very complicated too. A lot of things have happened.

Nico: We've increased our numbers ever since Varie saw you the last time.

Sunset Shimmer: We sure have.

Milo: I can see that.

Diamond Tiara: Milo, why don't we go to Atlantis with you guys? In case something happens.

Milo: That's a great idea! But I have to wait for approval by my superiors.

Me: Can we hear your proposal?

Milo: You all sure can.

He got ready.

Milo: Good afternoon, gentlemen. First off, I'd like to thank this board… for taking the time to hear my proposal. Now, we've all heard of the legend of Atlantis, a continent somewhere in the mid-Atlantic that was home to an advanced civilization possessing technology far beyond our own that, according to our friend Plato here it was suddenly struck by some cataclysmic event that sank it beneath the sea. (Pings a fishbowl) Now, some of you may ask, why Atlantis? It's just a myth, isn't it? Pure fantasy. Well, that is where you'd be wrong. 10,000 years before the Egyptians built the pyramids Atlantis had electricity, advanced medicine, even the power of flight. Impossible, you say? Well, no. No, not for them. Numerous ancient cultures all over the globe agreed that Atlantis possessed a power source of some kind more powerful than steam, than… than coal. More powerful than our modern internal combustion engines. Gentlemen, I propose that we find Atlantis, find that power source, and bring it back to the surface.

Me: Wow! That's a huge proposal!

Varie: It sure is. But that will take a huge amount of resources.

Lily: Yeah and we don't even know what the Power Source is.

Milo: I know. Now, this is a page from an illuminated text that describes a book called the Shepherd's Journal said to have been a first-hand account of Atlantis and its exact whereabouts. Now, based on a centuries-old translation of a Norse text historians have believed the Journal resides in Ireland. (Lifts up a Viking Shield) But after comparing the text to the runes on this Viking shield I found that one of the letters had been mistranslated. So, by changing this letter and inserting the correct one we find that the Shepherd's Journal, the key to Atlantis, lies not in Ireland, gentlemen but in Iceland.

Me: All the way over in Iceland?

Laney: That's incredible.

Lola: It sure is.

Milo: Pause for effect. Gentlemen, uh, I'll take your questions now. [Telephone rings] Uh, would you gentlemen please excuse me for a moment?

Me: Sure.

Milo: [Phone Rings] Cartography and Linguistics, Milo Thatch speaking. [Indistinct angry ranting] Yeah. Uh, just… just a second. (Clicks Light) Pardon me, Mr. Hickenbottom. Pardon me guys.

Me: Sorry.

Milo: (Turns knobs) [Hissing] (Bangs Boiler) How's that? Is that better? [Indistinct angry ranting] Uh-huh. Yeah. You're welcome.

VOICE: And don't let it happen again!

Milo: All right, bye.

Me: Sheesh that guy needs an attitude adjustment.

Milo: I know. Now, as you can see by th… by this, um, map… map, uh, that… that… ahem… that I've drawn, I plotted the route that will take myself and a crew to the southern coast of Iceland to retrieve the Journal.

The Cuckoo Clock chimed at 4:00 PM.

[Cuckoos four times]

Milo: Ah, showtime. Well, this is it. I am finally getting out of the dungeon.

Me: Here we go.

He held up a picture of him and his grandfather Thaddeus Thatch.

Me: Is that your grandfather?

Milo: Yep that's him.

Sora: He sure looked like a nice guy.

Milo: Oh yeah.

Milo remembered that he wanted to try on his explorer hat and it didn't fit and covered him. He opened his box and put on his hat again. The same thing happened. Then a message in a pneumatic tube came.

Me: Oh a message.

He read it.

Milo: "Dear Mr. Thatch, this is to inform you that your meeting today has been moved up from 4:30 P.M. To 3:30 P.M."

We saw the clock and it was 4:35 PM.

Milo: What? [Whoosh] "Dear Mr. Thatch, due to your absence the board has voted to reject your proposal. Have a nice weekend. Mr. Harcourt's office." They can't do this to me!

Me: Those blockheads! Lets get up there and give them a piece of our minds!

Man 1: : I swear, that young Thatch gets crazier every year.

Man 2: If I ever hear the word "Atlantis" again. I'll step in front of a bus!

Man 1: Ha ha ha! I'll push you!

They laughed.

Milo: Mr. Harcourt!

Members of the board: Good Lord! There he is!

Milo: Members of the board uh, wait!

Harcourt: How did you find us?

Milo: Mr. Harcourt, wait!

Man: Head for the hills!

Harcourt: Where is a guard when you need him?

Milo: Mr. Harcourt, you gotta listen to me, sir! Uh, sir?

He shoved his umbrella in his face and left. We followed.

Milo: Wait! Mr. Harcourt! Sir, l-I have new evidence that… Please, Mr. Harcourt! Stop! Sir, if you… Could you hold… Thank you very much. Look at…

Harcourt: This museum funds scientific expeditions based on facts, not legends and folklore.

Eli grabbed Harcourt.

Eli: Listen here you clod! Atlantis IS real.

Harcourt: (Sees us) Wait a second! Team Loud Phoenix Storm!? What are you all doing here!?

Me: Here to help prove the legend of Atlantis. And Milo needs our help. Atlantis DOES exist.

Nico: Yeah!

Me: Milo lets go.

We got to Milo's apartment.

Milo: I'm home. Fluffy? Here, kitty. [Lamp Clicking] [Thunder]

Me: It's really coming down.

Helga: Milo James Thatch?

Milo: Who… who are you? How did you get in here?

Helga: I came down the chimney. Ho, ho, ho.

Me: How can we help you Miss uh?

Helga: My name is Helga Sinclair. I'm acting on behalf of my employer who has a most intriguing proposition for you all. Are you interested?

Milo: Your… your… your employer? Heh. Who is your employer?

Me: Depends on what it is.

[Thunder] [Thunder]

We went to an awesome mansion and it was amazing.

Me: Wow. Nice mansion.

Nico: Not nearly as nice as our World Tree Estate.

We went into the mansion and it was nice.

Helga: This way, please. And don't drip on the Caravaggio.

Me: Sorry.

Helga: Step lively. Mr. Whitmore does not like to be kept waiting.

Varie: Of course.

We caught up to her.

Me: Some of us will have to take the stairs.

Helga: Understood. (Some of us got into the elevator) You will address him as "Mr. Whitmore" or "Sir." You will stand unless asked to be seated. Keep your sentences short and to the point. Are we clear?

Me: Yes ma'am.

Milo: [Gulp]

Helga: And relax. He doesn't bite… often.

Milo: [Sees Photograph] Grandpa?

Me: Is that your grandpa?

We saw a man in a yoga pose.

Whitmore: Finest explorer I ever met. Preston Whitmore. Pleasure to meet you, Milo. And it's an honor to meet you all Team Loud Phoenix Storm. [Crunch] [Sighs] Care to join me in a little yoga?

Milo: Uh, no, no. Thank you. Did you really know my grandfather?

Whitmore: Oh, yeah. Met old Thaddeus back in Georgetown. Class of '66. We stayed close friends… till the end of his days. [Grunting] Even dragged me along on some of his danged fool expeditions. Thatch was crazy as a fruit bat, he was. He spoke of you often Milo.

Milo: Funny. He… he never mentioned you.

Whitmore: Oh, he wouldn't. He knew how much I liked my privacy. [Grunting] I keep a low profile.

Me: That's okay sir. But we have seen lots of crazy things over the years. We've seen all kinds of things dealing with mythology, legends, the supernatural, everything.

Milo: Mr. Whitmore, should I be wondering why we're here?

Whitmore: Look on that table.

We went over to it.

Whitmore: Ah! It's for you.

Milo: It's… it's from my grandfather.

Whitmore: He brought that package to me years ago. He said if anything were to happen to him I should give it to you when you were ready whatever that means.

He opened it and inside it was the legendary Shepherd's Journal.

Milo: It… It can't be. It's the Shepherd's Journal. Mr. Whitmore, this journal is the key to finding the lost continent of Atlantis!

Whitmore: Atlantis! Ha ha ha! I wasn't born yesterday, son.

Milo: No, no, no. Look… Look at this. Coordinates. Clues. It's all right here.

Me: Yeah 10,000 years worth of information.

Whitmore: Yeah, looks like gibberish to me.

Milo: That's because it's been written in a dialect that no longer exists.

Eli: It's the Atlantean Language.

Whitmore: So it's useless.

Milo: No, no, just difficult. I've spent my whole life studying dead languages. It's not gibberish to me.

Whitmore: Ah, it's probably a fake.

Milo: Mr. Whitmore, my grandfather would have known if this were a fake. I would know. I will stake everything I own, everything that I believe in that this is the genuine Shepherd's Journal.

Whitmore: All right, all right. So what do you want to do with it?

Milo: Well, Ill… Ill… I'll get funding. I mean, Ill… The museum…

Whitmore: They'll never believe you.

Milo: I'll show them! I will make them believe.

Whitmore: Like you did today?

Milo: Yes! Well, no. How did you… Forget about them, OK? Never mind! I will find Atlantis on my own. I mean, if I have to rent a rowboat!

Me: We all will find Atlantis!

Whitmore: Congratulations, Milo. This is exactly what I wanted to hear. But forget the rowboat, son. (Presses a button and a bunch of models of vehicles came up from a table) We'll travel in style. It's all been arranged, the whole ball of wax.

Milo: Why?

Me: Wow.

Whitmore: For years your granddad bent my eae with stories about that old book. I didn't buy it for a minute. So finally I got fed up and made a bet with the old coot. 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." Imagine my embarrassment when he found the darn thing. (He showed us a picture of what happened after he kissed him full on the mouth) Now I know your grandfather's gone, Milo. God rest his soul, but Preston Whitmore is a man who keeps his word. You hear that, Thatch? I'm going to the afterlife with a clear conscience, by thunder! [Chuckles]

Me: Looks like you aren't the only one with a vow to keep his word.

Nico: Yeah.

Whitmore: I know. [Sighs] Your grandpa was a great man Milo. You probably don't realize how great. Those buffoons at the museum dragged him down made a laughingstock of him. He died a broken man. If I could bring back just one shred of proof that'd be enough for me. Ah, Thatch. What are we standing around for? We got work to do.

Me: We're gonna need A LOT of work.

Milo: But, Mr. Whitmore, you know, in order to do what you're proposing, you're gonna need a crew.

Whitmore: Taken care of!

Milo: You'll need engineers and and geologists.

Me: And powerful people.

Whitmore: Got 'em all. The best of the best. Gaetan Moliere, geology and excavation. The man has a nose for dirt. Vincenzo Santorini, demolitions. Busted him out 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. They're the same crew that brought the Journal back.

Nico: Cool!

Vince: This is gonna be awesome.

Milo: Where was it?

Whitmore: Iceland.

Milo: I knew it! I knew it!

Me: Looks like your theories were correct Milo.

Whitmore: All we need now is an expert in gibberish. So it's decision time. You can build on the foundation your grandfather left you or you can go back to your boiler room.

Milo: This is for real.

Whitmore: Now you're catching on.

Milo: All right. OK. l-I'll have to quit my job.

Whitmore: It's done. You resigned this afternoon.

Milo: I did?

Whitmore: Yep. Don't like to leave loose ends.

Milo: Um, my apartment. I have to give notice. -

Whitmore: Taken care of. -

Milo: My clothes? -

Whitmore: Packed. -

Milo: My books? -

Whitmore: In storage. -

Milo: My cat? (His cat appeared) [Meow] My gosh.

Whitmore: Your granddad had a saying. "Our lives are remembered by the gifts we leave our children." This journal is his gift to you, Milo.

Me: That is a really good saying. I like that.

Whitmore: Indeed. Atlantis is waiting. What do you say?

Milo: I'm your man, Mr. Whitmore. You will not regret this. Boy, I am so excited, I can't even hold it in.

Me: Lets get ready everyone!


The next day we were on a ship and Milo and Applejack were hurling their guts out over the side.

HOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!

The ship we were on was amazing.

Milo: [Retching] Carrots. Why is there always carrots? I didn't even eat carrots.

Laney: I have some seasickness medicine for you and Applejack, Milo.

She gave them a bottle of anti-seasickness medicine.

Milo: Oh thanks Laney.

Applejack: Thank you kindly.

They took it.

PACKARD: Attention. All hands to the launch bay. To whoever took the "L" from the Motor Pool sign, ha ha, we are all very amused.

Me: That's funny.

Applejack: It sure is.

Milo: Excuse me? I need to, uh, report in?

Helga: Yes, Mr. Thatch?

Milo: Aah! Uh, it's you!

Cookie: Blondie, I got a bone to pick with you.

Helga: Hold that thought. What is it this time, Cookie?

Cookie: You done stuffed my wagon full to bustin' with non-essentials. Look at all this. Cinnamon, oregano, cilantro. What in the cockadoodle is cilantro? And what is this?

Helga: That would be lettuce.

Cookie: Lettuce? Lettuce?!

Helga: It's a vegetable, Cookie. The men need the four basic food groups.

Cookie: I got your four basic food groups! Beans, bacon, whiskey, and lard! [Warning alarm sounds]

Me: Time to get ready.

Helga: All right, cowboy. Pack it up and move it out.

PACKARD: Attention. All hands to the launch bay. Final loading in progress. [Elevator starts]

Vinny: [Italian accent] Hey, Junior. If you're lookin' for the pony rides, they're back there.

Varie: Vinny its been a while.

Vinny: It sure has Varie. Looking good.

Me: She's with me.

Milo: Excuse me. Excuse me? You dropped your dyn... dynamite. Heh heh heh. What else have you, uh, got in there?

Vinny: Oh, eh, gunpowder, nitroglycerin, notepads, fuses, wicks, glue, and paper clips. Big ones. You know, just, uh, office supplies.

Me: More like war supplies.

WHITMORE: Milo! Where you been? I want you to meet Commander Rourke. He led the Iceland team that brought the Journal back.

We met Commander Lyle Tiberius Rourke!


Commander Lyle Tiberius Rourke is the main antagonist of Disney's 41st full-length animated feature film Atlantis: The Lost Empire. He initially appears as a very reliable and praiseworthy commander able to lead his men through perils, but as the film progresses, he turns out to be a highly manipulative, ruthless and sadistic mercenary who is out to capture the Heart of Atlantis and make money off of it. He is Milo Thatch's arch-nemesis.

He was voiced by the late James Garner in the film and by Earl Boen in the video game.

Past

Lyle Tiberius Rourke was born in 1860 and learned the ways of military life at an early age when his father, a cavalry officer named Lt. Col. Jackson, was killed in battle in 1864 during the Civil War. After repeated expulsions from boarding school for fighting, Rourke resolved to follow in his father's footsteps and joined the military in 1875 at the age of 15. There, he exhibited a remarkable talent for leadership, owing to his analytical mind, charisma, and refusal to acknowledge the white flag surrender. He married in June 1887 at the age of 27, but his wife left him after only 4 months. Later, he retired in 1901 and became under the employ of millionaire Preston B.

Whitmore, whose closest friend Thaddeus Thatch is known for his claims about the existence of Atlantis. Upon hearing that Thaddeus is intending to find an ancient manuscript called the Shepherd's Journal that will detail the location of Atlantis, Whitmore sends over Rourke and his team of seven experts (Rourke's second-in-command Helga Katrina Sinclair, demolitions expert Vincenzo "Vinny" Santorini, geologist Gaetan "Mole" Molière, medical officer Joshua Sweet, chief mechanic Mr. Ramirez, cook Jebidiah Allerdyce "Cookie" Farnsworth, and cynical communications expert Wilhelmina Packard) to help Thaddeus search for the lost book.

Eventually, Thaddeus was able to find the Shepherd's Journal located in Iceland, declaring the mission to be a success, much to the surprise and delight of Rourke and his team. Unfortunately, the Smithsonian board refuses to accept this and jeered Thaddeus, who died of a broken heart, much to Preston and the team's distraught. However, Rourke was secretly unconcerned by the loss of Thaddeus, and found out within the Shepherd's Journal a certain page that details a certain energy source (a powerful but sentient crystal called the Heart of Atlantis) that would make him extremely rich. Despite taking the page for himself, Rourke is unable to read and translate the Atlantean language, so he decided that he need to have an linguistics expert to help him translate the text.

Atlantis: The Lost Empire

In 1914, Milo James Thatch (the hero of the film), a luckless linguistics and map expert who works for the Smithsonian Institution, learns that his proposal to lead an expedition to Iceland to find the Journal is denied by the Institution's board, so he angrily resigns. Eventually, Whitmore contacted Milo and asked him to be a member of the team, informing him that Thaddeus had already located the Journal in Iceland, and entrusted Whitmore to give it to Milo when he was ready.

Declaring this to be an honor and prove the Smithsonian board wrong about their claims, Milo happily accepts the offer; even Mr. Ramirez's teenage daughter Audrey takes over her father's job following the latter's retirement. Upon meeting Rourke in person, Milo shook hands with him, and Rourke states that it has been a pleasure to meet the grandson of old Thaddeus, gloating that the trip will be quite enriching for all of us.

On the expedition to Atlantis, the explorers' submarine is sunk by an underwater Leviathan and the team suffered numerous casualties. But Milo, Rourke, and the remaining people persevere and manage to reach the entrance of Atlantis hidden underwater. During the journey, Milo read through the Journal and learns about the Heart of Atlantis, but soon learns that there is a missing page. After going through several obstacles as stated in the Journal, Milo and the team are able to locate the underwater city of Atlantis, where it still survives in a subterranean chamber beneath the earth, much to the team's extreme surprise and amazement. The team are also surprised to learn that the Atlanteans can speak other languages (including English) as the Atlantean language is the basis of those languages from a root dialect. They are met by the city's princess Kida, who brings them over to her father, the Atlantean King Kashekim Nedakh, who allows the team to stay for one night before they can leave for the surface per Rourke's request.

As the team enjoy their stay in the ancient city, Kida discovers that Milo can read the Atlantean language, long forgotten by her own people ever since a tidal wave consumed much of the ancient empire thousands of years ago. They dive to read ancient underwater murals, and learn about the Heart of Atlantis, a giant blue crystal that is the source of the power that saved Atlantis from the tidal wave and of the strange blue gems that each Atlantean wears. As they leave the ruins, they are caught by Rourke and the rest of the team, who have turned out to be mercenaries, fully armed and are after the Heart of Atlantis. Milo then deduces that Rourke is going after the Heart, and Rourke presents out the missing page detailing the Heart to confirm it, revealing that he kept it in his person the whole time. Realizing this, Milo protests by stating that the Atlanteans will die without the Heart, but Rourke takes no regard of it, and instead states that it will make him even more rich. Rourke attempts to justify his actions by claiming that each of the artifacts at a museum are technically stolen (although considering that Rourke wishes to make a profit from stealing the heart, he likely was not planning to donate it to a museum), but Milo warns him that tampering with the Heart of Atlantis could be potentially disastrous, resulting an annoyed Rourke to mock him for trying to live up to his grandfather's idealisms. When it became clear that Milo is getting uncooperative, Rourke becomes more forceful and has his troops point their guns at Kida's head, and Milo reluctantly complies.

Rourke then has the doors to the Atlantean king's chambers blown open and his crew search the throne room for the Crystal, but find nothing. Rourke aggressively holds up the Shepherd's Journal in front of Milo, demanding him to give him a clue. Milo tells Rourke that the Journal states the riddle "the Heart of Atlantis lies in the eyes of her king". Rourke stomps over to the King and demands him to explain the riddle. When the King refuses, Rourke fatally punches the King in the chest, much to both Kida and the crew's horror. Realizing that this has gone out of hand, Sweet furiously defects to Milo's side as he berated Rourke for what he just did to the King, Rourke just brushes Sweet off, telling him there has just been a change of plans. Sitting on the King's throne, Rourke threatens to shoot the King if he does not tell him the Crystal's location. Just as Rourke impatiently prepares to pull the trigger, he suddenly stops and looks at the symbol on the Journal's cover, then at the same shape formed by rocks at the surface of the pool overlooking the throne room, and he manages to figure out the riddle on his own. He then proceeds to descend into the chamber with Helga dragging Milo and Kida along.

Inside the Crystal Chamber, Milo and Rourke argue over how the Crystal is to be retrieved. Kida is called upon by the Heart of Atlantis and is bonded with it. Rourke then has Kida sealed up in a metal container and prepares to leave with the crew while leaving Milo and Sweet behind. Milo berates the crew for going against their consciences to satisfy their greed at the expense of the Atlanteans. However, Rourke brushes this off by punching Milo in the face and crushing the framed photo of Milo and Thaddeus with his boot, mocking him with the irony that he started out as the man who discovered Atlantis that is about to become a part of an old history relic. Outraged by this and finally realizing what a greedy scoundrel Rourke truly is, Audrey, Vinny, Cookie, Packard and Mole defect to Milo's side, leaving Rourke with only Helga and his other men. The crew then berated Rourke for his actions, but he is unmoved as he leaves the crew in the dying city, proclaiming that he will take the profit for himself. The ruthless commander then has the bridge (the only one, in fact) detonated to prevent anyone from ever leaving the city.

The King, in his dying breath, gives Milo his crystal and begs him to rescue his daughter and save Atlantis. Eventually, Milo, the crew and the Atlanteans discover how to use the crystals to activate ancient flying machines and they give chase as an air force. As Milo and his team fly over to the volcano, Rourke had his men to inflate a massive balloon to haul the crystal through an ancient volcano to the surface. But Milo and his friends, and the rest of the warriors arrive, engaging into a fight against Rourke's troops.

During the lengthy battle, Milo's friends and the Atlanteans gained the upper hand against Rourke's forces and annihilated them, while Milo rammed his machine into Rourke's blimp, causing it to lose altitude slowly. Determined to 'lighten the load', the greedy Rourke betrays Helga by throwing her off to the volcano base, mocking her by claiming it to be nothing personal.

Milo swings on a rope towards Rourke and they both fall. Grabbing the rope, they slide down and land on the platform above the spinning propeller blades. Milo lunges at the evil commander, but he is easily outmatched by Rourke's strength and expertise in combat, thus Rourke quickly gaining the upper hand. However, Helga, fatally paralyzed by the fall, uses her remaining energy to pull out her flare gun and shoot at the balloon as retribution for Rourke's betrayal, setting the balloon on fire and descending at a faster rate, much to Rourke's anger and horror. Losing what is left of his sanity, Rourke grabs an axe to kill Milo in revenge for foiling his plot. Rourke swings his axe at Milo, who ducks and the axe shatters the glass cover on Kida's transport container, with glass shards becoming embedded with the Heart of Atlantis. Thinking quickly, Milo desperately takes a shard of glass containing the crystal's essence as Rourke grabs him to finish the killing blow on him. Just as Rourke prepares to decapitate Milo, the latter cuts his arm with the shard, turning Rourke into a crystallized blue monster. At first, Milo thought Rourke was done for, but was proved wrong when Rourke appears to be alive in a almost feral state, having succumbed to madness. Still bent on killing Milo, he climbs at Milo's level. Fortunately, Milo pulls up the chains, hoisting the crystallized Rourke into the balloon's propellers, while Rourke screams one last time before the propellers shatter him into millions of pieces, killing him for good. The crystal pieces were enough to break the chains holding the Heart's container, thus allowing Milo and the team to regain hold of it.

However, the destruction and fiery crash of the balloon causes the volcano to become active and erupt, putting Atlantis in the brink of extinction. Fortunately, Milo gets himself and the crew to deliver the Heart back to the Atlantis, where the Heart powers up a giant shield to protect the city from the volcanic eruption and return Kida to normal, thus leaving Rourke's plans in complete vain.

After Atlantis is saved, the team is returned home to the surface while Milo stays behind to help Kida (who becomes the new Queen) rebuild the lost civilization. The team explained the truth about Rourke's plot to Whitmore, who agrees to the team's intentions to keep the discovery of Atlantis as a secret, even declaring that Rourke is "missing" to cover up the truth so that no one will ever try to steal the Heart of Altantis ever again.

Atlantis: Milo's Return

Although Rourke does not make an appearance, he is mentioned by Whitmore while telling Milo that his grandfather would have been proud that he stopped Rourke's plans for the Heart of Atlantis.

House of Mouse

Rourke makes a cameo appearance in Donald Wants to Fly, when he was watching Kida fly above his head in quiet awe. This was Rourke's only appearance in House of Mouse. Strangely enough, he (for some reason) does not appear in the show's tie-in film Mickey's House of Villains, not even as a cameo, and is therefore one of the only three Disney villains featured in that show who does not appear in that film at all, with other two being Scar and Shere Khan because they are absent.


ROURKE: Milo Thatch. Pleasure to meet the grandson of old Thaddeus. I see you got that journal. Nice pictures, but I prefer a good western myself. And J.D. Knudson and all of Team Loud Phoenix Storm. It's such an honor.

Me: Pleasure to meet you too Commander.

WHITMORE: Pretty impressive, eh?

MILO: Boy, when you settle a bet, y-you settle a bet.

Me: No kidding.

WHITMORE: Well, your granddad always believed you couldn't put a price on the pursuit of knowledge.

Nico: No way.

MILO: Well, uh, believe me this'll be small change compared to the value of what we're gonna learn on this trip.

ROURKE: Yes, this should be enriching for all of us.

PACKARD: Attention, all personnel. Launch will commence in 15 minutes.

Rourke: Mr. Whitmore.

Whitmore: Rourke.

ROURKE: It's time.

Milo: Bye, Mr. Whitmore!

Whitmore: Make us proud, everyone!

DIVING OFFICER: Rig ship for dive!

CHIEF OF THE WATCH: Aye, sir! Rig ship for dive.

Rourke: Lieutenant, take her down.

Helga: Diving officer, submerge the ship. Make the depth 1-5-0 feet.

DIVING OFFICER: Make the depth 1-5-0 feet.

INTERCOM: Dive, dive! Five degrees down bubble.

DIVING OFFICER: Take us down. [Warning alarm buzzes]

The ship was launched and we were off to find the lost city of Atlantis! It was awesome seeing the ocean.

Me: This is so cool! It's like an awesome version of our submarine.

Nico: It sure is.

Fu: This is amazing.

PACKARD: Attention. Tonight's supper will be baked beans. Musical program to follow. [Sighs] Who wrote this?

Milo was about to head out to sleep when a light shined on him.

Milo: Aah!

MOLE: (French Accent) You have disturbed the dirt.

Milo: Uh, pardon me?

MOLE: You have disturbed the dirt! Dirt from around the globe, spanning the centuries! [Gasps] What have you done? England must never merge with France!

Milo: What's it doin' in my bed?

MOLE: You ask too many questions. Who are you? Who sent you? Speak up!

Milo: Me? I'm, uh…

MOLE: Bah! I will know soon enough.

Milo: Hey, hey, hey! Let go!

MOLE: Do not be such a crybaby. Hold still. (Pulls a speck of dirt out from Milo's fingernail) Aha! There you are. Now tell me your story, my little friend. Parchment fiber from the Nile circa 500 B.C. Lead pencil, number 2. Paint flecks of a type used in government buildings. You have a cat, short-haired Persian two years old, third in a litter of seven. There are all the microscopic fingerprints of the mapmaker (Tastes the speck of dirt) And linguist. -

Milo: Hey, how did you…

MOLE: This is an outrage! You must leave at once! Out, out, out, out, out!

SWEET: Uh-oh. Sat in the dirt, didn't you? Moliere, now what have I told you about playing nice with the other kids? (Pulls out a bar of soap) Get back. I've got soap, and I'm not afraid to use it. [Mole Hisses] Back, foul creature! Back to the pit from which you came! [Mole Grunts] The name's Sweet. Joshua Sweet. Medical officer.

Milo: Yeah, Milo Thatch.

SWEET: Milo Thatch. You're my 3:00. Well, no time like the present.

Milo: Oh, boy.

SWEET: Nice, isn't it? The catalog says that this little beauty can saw through a femur in 28 seconds. I'm bettin' I can cut that time in half. Now, stick out your tongue and say "ahh."

Milo: Oh, no, really, I have a… Ahh. -

SWEET: So, where you from? -

Milo: [Babbling trying to say "Washington D.C.]

SWEET: Really? I have family up that way. Beautiful country up there. Do you do any fishing? [Garbled speech] Me? I hate fishing. I hate fish. Hate the taste, hate the smell… and hate all them little bones. Here, I'm gonna need you to fill these up.

Milo: [Sputters] With what?!

PACKARD: Will Milo Thatch please report to the bridge?

Milo: Thank you. I mean, uh, uh, nice meeting you.

SWEET: Uh-huh. Nice meeting you, too.

PACKARD: So I says to him, "What's wrong with my meatloaf?" And he says to me... Oh. Hold on a second, Margie, I got another call. Sir, we're approaching coordinates. Hello, Margie? Yeah, so anyways, he says…

Rourke: All right, let's have a look around.

HELGA: Aye, sir. Set course to 2-4-0. 15 degrees down angle on the bow planes. Come right 2-4-0.

Rourke: Welcome to the bridge, Mr. Thatch. OK, everybody I want you to give Mr. Thatch your undivided attention.

Milo: Good afternoon. Can everyone hear me OK? Heh, OK, uh, how… how 'bout some slides?

He Pulls out some slides.

Milo: T-The first slide is a deception of a creature. A creature so frightening that sailors were said to be driven mad by the mere side of it!

We began to feel uneasy as Milo insert the slide into the projector. Then, to the astonishment and sudden amusement of mostly everyone, the slide contained a black-and-white snapshot of Milo in a striped swimsuit and the beach waving. He was wearing an inflatable dinosaur floatie, holding a fishing pole with a fish at the end, water wings, and goggles. Beside him was a cat reaching for the fish with its front legs crossed and its mouth open in a friendly snarl.

Robo-Roxy: (catcall whistle) That's a nice swimsuit, Milo!

Mrs. Packard: Hubba hubba.

Me: Oops.

Milo: I'm sorry that's wrong.

Audrey: (Spanish Accent) Geez. I used to take lunch money from guys like this.

Me: Audrey that's enough.

Nico: Yeah.

Milo: Anyway, this, uh… OK. (Shows the Right Slide) This is an illustration of the Leviathan, the creature guarding the entrance to Atlantis.

Me: Whoa! That's a scary creature.

Nico: No kidding.

Vinny: With something like that I would have white wine, I think.

Milo: It's a mythical sea serpent.

Aylene C.: Looks more like a lobster to me.

Milo: Good point. 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.

Rourke: So we find this masterpiece. Then what?

Mole: When do we dig?

Milo: Actually, we don't have to dig. 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. Kind of like the grease trap in your sink.

Nico: Interesting.

Lola: This is gonna be an awesome adventure.

Helga Sinclair: Cartographer, linguist, plumber. Hard to believe he's still single.

Mole: You said there'd be digging.

Helga Sinclair: Go away, Mole.

Navigator: Captain, you'd better come look at this, sir.

Rourke: OK, class dismissed. Give me exterior lights.

The lights on the submarine turned on and we saw numerous destroyed sunken ships from over the course of the centuries!

Helga: Look at that.

Milo: There are ships here from every era.

Nico: Wow. I can't believe all these ships were destroyed.

Fu: These are ships from all over the centuries.

Nicole: Maybe there's treasure on them.

Me: See if you can find any.

Nicole: Okay.

Nicole used her device and found lots of treasure on many of the ships and she used her teleporter beams to beam all the treasure from the ships on board the submarine.

Nico: Nice job.

Nicole: Thanks.

Rourke: You're quite the treasure hunter Nicole.

Nicole: I am quite an adventurer.

But little did we know that there was something below us.

Packard: [Beeping] [Hiss] [Radio static] Commander, I think you should hear this.

Milo: "Predeshtem logtu nug nah geb."

PACKARD: Commander? Commander?

Milo: "Enter the lair of the Leviathan."

PACKARD: Commander?

Milo: "There you will find the path to the gateway."

PACKARD: Commander?

ROURKE: Yes, Mrs. Packard. What is it?

PACKARD: I'm picking up something on the hydrophone I think you should hear.

ROURKE: Put it on speakers.

She did so.

[Groaning and whooshing sounds]

Me: What the fuck is that?

Eli: I don't like the sound of that.

Rourke: What is it? A pod of whales?

Packard: Uh-uh. Bigger.

Helga: It sounds metallic. Could be an echo off one of the rocks.

Varie: It might be.

PACKARD: Do you want to do my job? Be my guest.

Milo: Is it just me, or is that getting louder?

Nico: And if it's getting louder then it's getting closer.

It vanished.

Helga: Well, whatever it was, it's gone now.

Rourke: Helmsman! Bring us about. Tighten our search pattern and slow us to… [Crash]

We were hit and we saw the big lobster called THE LEVIATHAN! [Alarm bell ringing]

Audrey: Out of the way! [Crew shouting]

[Roaring]

I formed a force field around the sub and the Leviathan hit it.

ROURKE: Tell Cookie to melt the butter and break out the bibs. I want this lobster served up on a silver platter.

Helga: Load the torpedo bays! Subpod crews, battle stations!

ENSIGN: Battle stations!

ROURKE: (ON INTERCOM) Steady, boys. Don't panic.

Milo: Jiminy Christmas! It's a machine!

Eli: I got this!

Eli showed his crystal to the Leviathan and he backed off and knew that we were with him and it let us go.

Milo: It let us go. How?

Eli: My crystal here.

Rourke: Wow. Nice work kid.

Nico: That was a close one. Great job Eli.

Me: Way to go bro.

Eli: Thanks guys.

Rourke: Where to Mr. Thatch?

Milo: We're looking for a big crevice of some kind.

Me: I think I see it up ahead!

Varie: 20Ëš Down Angle everyone.

Helga: Roger that.

We went down into the crevice and I formed a force field around us so that we would be protected from the water pressure and the narrow walls.

Milo: It's only a grease trap. It's just like a sink. It's only a grease trap. It's just like a sink!

We went up and got into the Air pocket and we saw an amazing tunnel and ruins.

Me: Wow! Look at that.

Nico: Just like Milo said.

Rourke: We owe you guys big time for saving us.

Me: Think nothing of it Commander.

Helga: That was very smart thinking.

Lola: It sure was.

Me: Well looks like we're getting everything ready for land travel.

Lana: Yeah.

Packard: We're all gonna die.

Rattrap: Hey! That's usually my line!

ROURKE: OK, people. Saddle up. Lieutenant, I want this convoy moving five minutes ago.

Helga: Moliere, you're on point. No, Vinny, Audrey's taking the oiler. You know the rules. I want you 50 yards behind that truck at all times. And, Packard, put out that cigarette.

Milo was honking a horn.

Milo: [Beep] [Beep beep] [Beep beep beep] [Beep beep beep] (Rourke grabbed the horn) [Squeak]

Rourke: Are you sure you're checked out on this class of vehicle?

Milo: Uhh

Rourke: Can you drive a truck?

Milo: Pfft! Heh heh. Of course I can drive a truck. I mean, sure, you got your steering and your gas and your brake and, of course, this metal, uh, looking thing.

Me: That's a stick transmission Milo. It's much different than what we have in the 21st Century.

Milo: I see. OK, so it was a bumper car at Coney Island but it's the same basic principle!

Rourke: [Sighs]

Milo: [Brakes squeal] [Horn beeps]

DRIVER: Come on!

Milo: Sorry abou… sorry about that.

SECOND DRIVER: Come on, civilian!

Milo: Oof.

We went along the highway and it was incredible. We had to lower down the vehicles to get to the next part until we came across a skull temple. Milo pointed to the left eye and the digger was stopped by a roaring bug creature.

I fired an energy blast and destroyed the creature and Milo realized that he was looking at the journal all wrong and pointed to the right tunnel. I sensed that we were not alone.

Milo got a drink.

Milo: Ahh.

Vinny: You didn't just drink that, did you?

Milo: Mm-hmm.

VINNY: That's not good. That's nitroglycerin.

Milo: [Gags]

Me: Vinny are you crazy!?

Vinny: Don't move. Eh, don't breathe. Don't do anything, except pray maybe.

Mole snuck up behind him.

Mole: Boom!

Milo: Aah!

Mole and Vinny: [Laughing]

BONK!

I bonked Mole on his head.

Me: That was NOT FUNNY!

Luan: YEAH!

We continued and we got to a rocky cave room.

Nicole was collecting geological samples for study. I pulled Milo up.

Later as we made Camp, Milo was doing a lot of research on the Journal and Lily was helping him.

SWEET: [Chuckles] Yeah.

We then continued on and then we came across a huge column.

Milo: Good night! Will you look at the size of this!

Me: This column is incredible.

Laney: It's amazing.

Milo: It's gotta be half a mile high at least. It… it must have taken hundred… no, pfft, thousands of years to carve this thing.

Me: No kidding.

KRABBOOOOOMMM!

Vinny knocked the column down and made a bridge.

Vinny: Hey, look, I made a bridge. It only took me, like, what? 10 Seconds. 11 tops.

Me: I could've gotten it done faster.

Robo Blaze made sure Helga wasn't near Rourke at the moment.

Robo Blaze: (To Helga) I can guarantee that by the end of this, you'll find out that Rourke isn't your type of partner.

Helga: (raises eyebrow) Are you trying to flirt with me?

Robo Blaze: Nevermind. Just forget I said anything.

He came back to us and so did Helga. But somehow she knew that he was right.

We continued on the highway and it was really amazing.

We then went through a snow filled room.

Milo: [Teeth Chattering]

We then came across a huge wall blocking our path.

Rourke: Looks like we have a little roadblock. Vinny, what do you think?

Vinny: I could unroadblock that if I had about 200 of these. Problem is I only got about… 10. Plus, you know, five of my own and a couple of cherry bombs, a road flare. Hey, too bad we don't have some nitroglycerin, eh, Milo?

Mole: [Laughing hysterically]

Rourke: Looks like we're gonna have to dig.

Mole: [Gasps gleefully] It will be my pleasure.

Lynn: Leave this to the Earth Masters.

Lynn, Toph, Tara, Geo-Force, Kwame and Bobby smashed the wall down with a powerful punch and cleared the way.

Rourke: Nice job guys!

Me: Way to go!

Nico: YEAH!

Lynn: Aw it was nothing.

Tara: But at least it's clear.

Me: Yep.

We went on and we came across a glowing lamp structure on the ceiling and it was amazing.

Milo: This is it. It's gotta be.

Rourke: All right, we'll make camp here.

Audrey: Why is it glowing?

Mole: Pah! It is a natural phosphorescence.

Lola: It's pretty though.

Vinny: That thing is going to keep me up all night, I know it.

[Triangle jangling]

Cookie: Come and get it!

It was dinner time!

Cookie: For the appetizer, Caesar salad (Serves Sweet a greasy meal) escargot, (Serves Audrey a greasy meal) and your Oriental spring rolls. (Serves Mole a greasy meal)

Cookie was serving us his meals and they were greasy.

Audrey: Yuck.

Mole: I wanted the escargot.

Lana: Oh boy! This is great!

Cookie: Glad you like it Lana. Put a lot of meat on them bones. (Pours Lana a big meal)

Lana: Thanks Cookie.

Audrey: (Hands her tray to Mole) Knock yourself out.

Cookie: There you go, Milo. Put some meat on them bones.

Milo: Thanks, Cookie. That looks greasier than usual.

COOKIE: You like it? Well, have some more. (Pours a lot) You're so skinny, if you turned sideways and stuck out your tongue you'd look like a zipper.

Nico: This is good though.

Sweet: You know, we've been pretty tough on the kid. What do you say we cut him some slack?

Audrey: Yeah, you're right. Hey, Milo! Why don't you come sit with us?

Milo: Really? You don't mind?

Audrey: Nah. Park it here.

He came over.

Milo: Gee, this is great. I mean, you know… it's an honor to be included in your… (Mole puts a whoopee cushion under him) [Pbbbt]

Mole: [Laughing]

Sweet & Audrey: Mole!

MOLE: Ah, forgive me. I could not resist.

Lugnutz: (to some of the crew) If you're lucky, we might see some people that could be living in Atlantis.

Joshua Sweet: I don't know why you might think that. But I'll take your word for it.

Varie: You guys are gonna be amazed when you all see Atlantis.

Nico: Yeah this is gonna be an awesome adventure like Lola said.

Eli: Yeah it sure will be.

Rourke: How did you get the Leviathan to stop like that son?

Eli: My crystal around my neck. Whenever there's an Atlantean Crystal around someone's neck it will stop.

Me: Yep.

Rourke: That's impressive. Well done.

Eli: Thanks.

Audrey: Hey, Milo, don't you ever close that book?

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

Milo: I know, but this… this doesn't make any sense. 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.

Lily: Hmm. That's unusual.

Lola: Yeah.

Vinny: Kid, relax. We don't get paid overtime.

MILO: I know, I know. 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.

Audrey: Money.

Sweet: Money.

Packard: Money.

Mole: Money.

Vinny: I'm gonna say money.

Milo: [Sighs] Well, I guess I set myself up for that one. [Grunts]

Sweet: What, is something wrong with your neck?

Milo: Oh, yeah, I must've hurt it when… [Cracking] Aah! Ow!

Sweet: Better? [Grunts]

Milo: Yeah! Hey, how'd you learn how to do that?

Sweet: An Arapaho medicine man.

Milo: Get outta here.

Sweet: Born and raised with 'em. My father was an army medic. He settled down in the Kansas Territory after he met my mother.

Milo: No kidding.

Sweet: Nope. I got a sheepskin from Howard U. And a bearskin from old Iron Cloud. Halfway through medical school, I was drafted. One day I'm studying gross anatomy in the classroom the next I'm sewing up Rough Riders on San Juan Hill.

Me: With President Theodore Rosevelt. That's awesome.

Nico: The Battle of San Juan Hill in Cuba is one of my favorite battles.

Laney: It's really interesting to learn from.

COOKIE: Main course.

Vinny: I couldn't eat another bite.

Audrey: I'm watching my weight.

COOKIE: Ha ha ha, don't you worry. It'll keep and keep and keep.

Packard: Thank God I lost my sense of taste years ago.

I helped pitch the tents and we pitched our tents and they were cool.

Vinny: Aren't you going to pitch up your tent?

Milo: Uh, I did.

His tent was poorly made.

Applejack: Well you did try Milo and that's all that counts.

Milo: Yeah. I guess I'm still a little rusty at this. I haven't gone camping since well, the last time my grandpa took me.

Audrey: I never got to meet your grandfather. What was he like?

Me: That's what most of us want to know.

Milo: Where do you start? He was like a father to me, really. My parents died when I was a little kid and he took me in.

Me: Oh no. I'm sorry Milo.

Milo: It's all right. [Chuckles]

Audrey: What?

Milo: Well, I was just thinkin'. One time, when I was eight, we were hiking along this stream and I saw something shining in the water. It was a genuine arrowhead. Well, you'd think I'd found a lost civilization the way Grandpa carried on about it. It wasn't until I was older that I realized that the arrowhead was just some compressed shale mixed with zinc pyrite that had fractured into an isosceletic triangulate. [Giggles]

Nicole: That's very cool in Geological standards.

Mole: That is so cute!

MILO: Say, Audrey, uh, no, no offense but how does a teenager become the chief mechanic of a multimillion dollar expedition?

Audrey: Well, I took this job when my dad retired. But the funny thing was he always wanted sons, right? One to run his machine shop and the other to be middleweight boxing champion. But he got my sister and me instead.

Me: That shows how strong women can be.

Lana: Yep and I'm a handiman too. It's awesome.

Milo: So, what… what happened to your sister?

Audrey: She's 24 and 0, with a shot at the title next month.

Lynn: Wow! That's awesome.

Paula: Very impressive.

Me: Your sister is quite skilled.

Rainbow Dash: That's awesome!

Audrey: Thanks. Anyway, I'm saving up so my Papi and I can open another shop.

Nico: Cool.

Milo: Forget your jammies, Mrs. Packard?

PACKARD: I sleep in the nude.

Sweet handed us eye masks.

Sweet: You're gonna want a pair of these. She sleepwalks.

Me: Ah. Thanks Sweet.

Sweet: You're welcome.

Vinny: Well, as far as me goes, I just like to blow things up.

Me: You sure have an explosive touch.

Sweet: Come on, Vinny, tell the kid the truth.

Vinny: My family owned a flower shop. We would sell roses, carnations, baby's breath, you name it. One day, I'm making about three dozen corsages for this prom. You know, the one they put on their wrist. And everybody, they come. "Where is it?" "When is it?" "Does it match my dress?" It's a nightmare. Anyway, I guess there was this leak next door of gas or what. Boom! No more Chinese laundry. Blew me right through the front window. It was like a sign from God. I found myself that boom.

Me: A gas explosion. Who knew.

Mole: [Grunting]

He dug himself into the dirt.

MILO: [Mole chuckles] What's Mole's story?

Sweet: Trust me on this one. You don't wanna know.

Me: Oh uh noted.

Sweet: Audrey, don't tell him. You shouldn't have told me, but you did. And now I'm telling you you don't wanna know.

Me: I'll take your word for it. Night guys.

We went to sleep.

[Cookie snoring]

[Milo yawns]

Milo got up to use the restroom.

Cookie: (Talking in his sleep) The redhead's got a gun. [Snores]

He accidentally shined the light on the structure above and fireflies came.

Milo: Ahh, ooh. Ah! Aah! (He hit one and it ignited the toilet paper into flames) Holy Whoa!

Me and Eli woke up and we absorbed the fire and everyone got up!

Milo: Fire. Fire! Fire! Fire!

Me: Everyone wake up!

Milo: Fire!

Rourke: I'm gonna kill him. Thatch, go back to bed.

The whole camp was on fire!

Helga: Get some water on that fire!

Rourke: No time! Get us into those caves! Move it! Move it! Move it!

Me: Lets go!

I formed a force field around the vehicles and we went across the bridge and we went into the cave and we saw a light up ahead.

Me: I see something.

Milo then saw a bunch of figures with glowing blue eyes and Milo followed them.

Milo: [Echoing] Hey, wait a minute! Who are you?

We came and then we caught glimpse of an incredible sight! We saw right in front of our eyes THE LOST CITY OF ATLANTIS! We found it underground after 10,000 years!

Cookie: Sweet mother of Jefferson Davis!

Audrey: It's beautiful.

Me: Wow! Atlantis!

Nico: This is incredible!

Vince: Wow!

Varie: Home.

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

Me: After 10,000 years we've found it!

Meeryn: It's so amazing!

[Screeching]

The masked men came down and pointed spears at us.

Sweet: Uh, I take that back.

Rourke: Holy cats! Who are these guys?

Milo: They gotta be Atlanteans.

Helga: What? That's impossible!

Cookie: I seen this back in the Dakota. They can smell fear just by looking at ya. So keep quiet.

We were surrounded by masked Atlanteans.

Blot: Let me handle this. (to the Atlanteans) Bah-weep-Graaaaagnah wheep ni ni bong.

Nico: Blot I don't think they understand Cybertronian.

Kida: [Speaking Atlantean]

Mole: I think it's talking to you.

Kida: [Speaking Atlantean]

Milo: [Haltingly speaking Atlantean]

Kida: (Speaking Atlantean)

Milo: Ita, sum amice viator.

Kida: Dices linguam Romae.

Milo: Parlez-vous francais?

Kida: Oui, monsieur!

MOLE: They speak my language! Pardon, mademoiselle? Ah, voulez-vous… [Whispering] [Gets punched]

SWEET: Ooh, I like her.

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

Varie: (Speaking in Atlantean) My name is Varie Knudson and we mean you all no harm. We are peaceful explorers and adventurers.

Eli: (Speaking in Atlantean) Princess Kida my name is Eli Winston Bullock, I'm J.D. Knudson's little brother and you know J.D. 10,000 years ago and he was there when your mom disappeared.

J.D. 3: It's true Kida.

Kida: (In English) J.D.? Is that you?

Me: It's him and he's inside my head.

Sora: And it's good to see you again Kida.

Kida: Sora!

Sora and Kida hugged and then she went to me and hugged me.

Me: It's a pleasure to meet you Kida.

Atlanteans: Buenos dias. Guten tag! [Atlanteans speaking various languages]

Helga: How do they know all these languages?

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

Rourke: Well, maybe English is in there somewhere. We are explorers from the surface world. We come in peace.

Kida: Welcome to the city of Atlantis. Come. You must speak with my father now.

Rourke: Squad "B," head back to the shaft… and salvage what you can.

OFFICER: Yes, sir!

Rourke: We'll rendezvous in 24 hours.

OFFICER: Let's move it. You heard him.

Mole: I'm so excited! [Creatures Screeching]

Milo: Now, what's really amazing is that if you deconstructed Latin, you overlaid it with a little Sumerian throw in a dash of Thessalonian you'd be getting close to their basic grammatical structure. Or at least you'd be in the same ballpark… -

Helga: Someone's having a good time. -

Rourke: Like a kid at Christmas.

Helga: Commander, there were not supposed to be people down here. This changes everything.

Rourke: This changes nothing.

Milo: Take that, Mr. Harcourt!

We were absolutely amazed the City of Atlantis has been down here for 10,000 years.

Me: Wow! This is incredible! We are probably the first ever explorers in 10,000 years to see all this.

Dark Laser: Listen, can we talk to your father? (Flipsie barks) And Flipsie says it's very urgent!

Me: Very.

Kida: Of course. Right this way.

Kida took us to her father and we stood before the King.

Kida: (Speaking in Atlantean) Greetings your Highness. I have brought the visitors.

King: (Speaking in Atlantean) You know the law Kida. No outsiders may see the city and live.

Kida: (Speaking in Atlantean) Father... These people may be able to help us.

King: (Speaking in Atlantean) We do not need their help.

Kida: (Speaking in Atlantean) But father...

King: (Speaking in Atlantean) That is enough. We will discuss this later.

Varie went up to him.

Varie: Hello your majesty. It's great to see you again.

King: (In English) Varie it's great to see you too.

Varie: Last time I was here there was only a few of us. Now all my team is with me.

Me: It's a pleasure to meet you your Majesty. I apologize for coming here. My name is James Dean Knudson and I'm the leader of Team Loud Phoenix Storm.

King: It's an honor to meet you J.D. and any friends of Varie is honored to be here.

Rourke: Your Majesty? On behalf of my crew, may I say it is an honor to be welcomed to your city.

Milo: Ahem. Uh, excuse me? Commander?

KING: You presume much to think you are welcome here.

Rourke: Oh, sir, we have come a long way looking for…

KING: I know what you seek and you will not find it here. Your journey has been in vain.

Rourke: But we are peaceful explorers, men of science. Heh heh heh.

KING: And yet you bring weapons.

Me: We apologize for that your majesty. But we have to defend ourselves whenever possible. There are many dangers all over the universe that we have to be prepared for.

King: That's all right.

Rourke: Our weapons allow us to remove obstacles we may encounter.

KING: Some obstacles cannot be removed with a mere show of force. Return to your people. You must leave Atlantis at once.

Rourke: Oh, Your Majesty, be reasonable.

Milo: Sir…

Rourke: Not now, son.

Milo: Trust me on this. We better do as he says.

Rourke: May I respectfully request that we stay one night, sir? That would give us time to rest, resupply and be ready to travel by morning.

KING: Hmm. Very well. One night. That is all.

Rourke: Well, thank you, Your Majesty.

Rourke and his crew left.

Pharaoh Man: Your majesty, now that you've granted the Rourke's request, can me and my friends talk to you? In private?

King: Of course. Guards leave us.

They left.

Me: I'm afraid that Rourke is not who you think. Rourke is after the Heart of Atlantis.

Lily: It's true. While he was sleeping, I swiped this.

Lily held up a page from the journal and it was the Heart of Atlantis.

We gasped in shock.

Varie: I knew there was something fishy.

Nico: Rourke is after the heart.

Lola: Yeah. He's after the Crystal.

Lana: We got to let everyone here know.

Me: No. We can't let everyone here in Atlantis know or Rourke will know that we're on to him.

Nico: Yeah.

Eccentro: Listen, it's only a matter of time before Rourke makes his move. You need to hide in any secret bunker you have before that happens.

King: Agreed.

Nico: We're not gonna let him get the Crystal. He wants to sell it on the black market. We're going to kill him before that happens.

Me: Yeah.


Later, Me, Eli and Milo were gonna ask Kida around.

Kida: I have some questions for you… and you are not leaving this city… until they are answered.

Milo: Yeah, well, l… OK.

Kida: Shh! Come with me. Oh, there is so much to ask about your world. You are a scholar, are you not? Judging from your diminished physique… and large forehead… you are suited for nothing else. What is your country of origin? When did the flood waters recede? How did you…

Me: Whoa whoa whoa. One at a time Kida.

Milo: Wait a minute. I got a few questions for you, too. So let's do this, OK? You ask one, then I'll ask one… then you, then me, then… Well, you get it.

Kida: Very well. What is your first question?

Milo: Well, OK, uh, how did you get here? Well, I mean, not you personally… but your… your culture. I mean, how did all of this end up down here?

Kida: It is said that the gods became jealous of Atlantis. They sent a great cataclysm and banished us here. All I can remember is the sky going dark… and people shouting and running. Then, a bright light, like a star floating above the city. My father said it called my mother to it. I never saw her again.

Me: Oh I'm sorry. It was some kind of powerful explosion that triggered the cataclysm that sunk you all here.

Milo: I'm sorry. If it… if it's any consolation I know how you feel, because I lost my… Wait a minute. Wait a minute! Whoa, back up! Wh… what… what are you telling me… that you remember because you were there? No, that… that's impossible… because, I mean, that would make you… you know.. 85 or 88 hundred years old.

KIDA: Yes.

MILO: Oh, well, hey, uh, pfft! Lookin' good. Just, uh, ahem. You got another question for me?

Kida: Yes. How is it you found your way to this place?

Milo: Well, I'll tell you, it wasn't easy. If it weren't for this book, we never would have made it. OK, second question. Legend has it that your people possessed… a power source of some kind that enabled them…

Kida: You mean you can understand this?

Milo: Yes, I'm a linguist. That's what I do, that's my job. Now, getting back to my question.

Kida: This, right here, you can read this?

Milo: Yes, yes, I can read Atlantean, just like you. You can't, can you? No one can.

Kida: Such knowledge has been lost to us since the time of the Mehbelmok.

Milo: Oh, the Great Flood.

Me: But that was back in the biblical era.

Kida: Show me.

Milo: OK, uh… [Reading in Atlantean]

Kida: "Follow the narrow passage for another league. There you will find the fifth marker."

Milo:Yeah. Yeah, that's it. How was my accent?

Kida: Boorish, provincial and you speak it through your nose.

Milo: Yeah, gotta work on that.

Kida: Here, let me show you something.

We saw that Kida showed us an awesome vehicle that looked like a fish.

Milo: What? It looks like some sort of vehicle.

Me: It looks like a fish.

Kida: Yes. But no matter what I try it will not respond. -

Milo: Perhaps if - Way ahead of you. OK, let's see what we got here. OK. "Place crystal into slot."

Kida: Yes, yes, I have done that! "

Milo: "Gently place your hand on the inscription pad."

Kida: Yes!

Milo: OK, did you… turn the crystal one-quarter turn back?

Kida: Yes. Yes!

Milo: While your hand was on the inscription pad?

Kida: Ye… No.

Milo: Ah, well, see, there's your problem right there. That's an easy thing to miss. You know, you deserve credit for even even gettin' this far. OK, uh, give it a try. (She started it up) [Gasps] [Speaking Atlantean]

Me: Wow!

Eli: That is amazing!

Milo: Yeah, you got that right. Oh, th… this is great! With this thing… I could see the whole city in no time at all. Wonder how fast it goes. (It zoomed) [Crashing]

Me: LOOK OUT!

We ducked.

Milo: [Crash] [Sputters] So, who's hungry? By the way, we were never properly introduced. My name's Milo.

Kida: My name is Kidagakash.

Milo: Ki-Ki-Kidamaschnaga. Uh, hey, you got a nickname?

Kida: [Giggles] Kida.

MILO: OK, Kida. I can remember that. Wow. [Sighs]

We saw Atlantis and it was breathtaking.

Me: Wow. So beautiful. And after 10,000 years.

Eli: It's so beautiful.

KIDA: What is wrong?

MILO: Oh, it's nothing. I just… got something in my eye. You know, my grandpa used to tell me stories about this place as far back as I can remember. I just wish he could be standing here with me.

Me: But it's so beautiful.

Later, me, Maria, Horsea, Kida and Milo were at a pool.

Milo: You know, Kida the most we ever hoped to find was some crumbling buildings, maybe some broken pottery. Instead, we find a living, thriving society.

Me: Yeah this is absolutely incredible.

Milo: Heh heh. These guys are kinda cute when they're not, you know formed into a fiery column of death.

Maria: I know.

Kida: We are not thriving. True, our people live but our culture is dying. We are like a stone the ocean beats against. With each passing year a little more of us is worn away.

Me: Oh man.

Maria: That's awful.

Milo: I wish there was something I could do.

Kida: I have brought you to this place to ask you for your help. There is a mural here with writing all around the pictures.

Maria: We'll have to take a look at it.

Milo: Yeah, well, you came to the right guy. OK, let me see. Let's start with this column right here. Uh, well, this, uh, uh, Kida? Uh, heh, what are you doin'?

Kida: You do swim, do you not?

Milo: Oh, I swim pretty girl. Pr-pretty good! Pretty good. Sw… Good, swim good. Pretty good. I swim pretty good.

Kida: Good. It is a fair distance to where we are going.

MILO: Hey, you are talkin' to the belly flop champ at Camp Runamuck. Oof!

KIDA: [Giggles]

Maria: Funny.

MILO: Come on, we're... we're wasting time. [Gasps] Why don't you lead the way because I have no idea where we're going.

Cheetah: Horsea, why don't you, Maria, Kida, and Milo go down there and translate the tunes?

Horsea: Right!

She dove down into the water.

Kida and Milo: [Gasping]

They swam down into some further ruins and came up into an air pocket.

KIDA: Are you all right? -

MILO: Well, I didn't drown, so…

KIDA: Good. Follow me. [Gasps]

They dove back down.

Maria: Oh wow!

Horsea: Wow! Look at all this.

Maria: This is incredible!

Milo: This is amazing! A complete history of Atlantis! It's just like Plato described it. Well, he was off on a few details, but…

Kida: The light I saw. The star in the middle of the city. What does the writing say about that?

Milo: I don't know yet. But we're gonna find out. Come on.

They saw that it was the Heart of Atlantis and it was incredible. It also showed the stone golems and more and it was incredible.

Milo: [Gasping] - The heart of Atlantis!

Kida: What?

Milo: It's the heart of Atlantis! That's what the shepherd w-was talking about. It wasn't a star, it was it was some kind of crystal… uh, like these! Don't you get it? The power source I've been looking for the bright light you remember they're the same thing!

Maria: Unbelievable!

Kida: That cannot be.

Milo: It's what's keeping all these things you, all of Atlantis alive.

Maria: How is that possible?

Kida: Then where is it now?

Milo: I don't know, I don't know. You'd think something this important… would have been in the Journal, but… Unless.. The missing page.

Maria: Oh no.

Milo: [Gasps]

He came up.

Rourke: You have a nice swim?

They saw Rourke and most of the crew armed with guns.

Milo: Hey, guys, what's going on? What's… what's with all the guns? Guys?

Me: I knew you were up to something.

Milo: [Exhales] I am such an idiot. This is just another treasure hunt for you. You're after the crystal.

Me: Yeah!

Rourke: Oh, you mean this?

Shows him a copy of the page.

Milo: The heart of Atlantis.

Rourke: Yeah. About that I would've told you sooner but it was strictly on a need-to-know basis and, well, now you know. I had to be sure you were one of us. Welcome to the club, son.

Milo: I'm no mercenary. [Gasps]

I punched them all over the place and kicked them! Kida pulled out a dagger and Rourke shot the dagger out of her hand and they grapped her.

Kida: Whoa!

Rourke: Mercenary? I prefer the term "adventure capitalist." Besides, you're the one who got us here. You led us right to the treasure chest.

Milo: You don't know what you're tampering with, Rourke.

Me: Yeah you don't know what kind of power you're up against!

Rourke: What's to know? It's big. It's shiny. It's going to make us all rich.

Milo: You think it's some kind of a diamond, I thought it was some kind of a battery, but we're both wrong. It's their life force. That crystal is the only thing keeping these people alive. You take that away, and they'll die.

Me: Yeah! That Crystal belongs here and it keeps them all alive!

Rourke: Well, that changes things. Helga, what do you think?

Helga: Knowing that, I'd double the price.

Rourke: I was thinking triple.

Milo: Rourke, don't do this.

Rourke: Academics. You never want to get your hands dirty. Think about it. If you gave back every stolen artifact… from a museum… you'd be left with an empty building. We're just providing a necessary service… to the archeological community.

Milo: Not interested.

Rourke: I got to admit, I'm disappointed. You're an idealist, just like your grandfather. Do yourself a favor, Milo. Don't be like him. For once, do the smart thing. I really hate it when negotiations go sour. [Snaps fingers] [Cocks gun] Let's try this again.

Skulker: You better let Kida go right now!

Rourke: (chuckles) Oh, I don't think so. And as insurance...

Two of Rourke's men took Heather, Emily, and Rebecca hostage.

Misty Tredwell: Let me and J.D.'s kids go. NOW!

Rourke: Relax. They'll be safe. As long as you all don't get any funny ideas.

Suddenly, the two men were shot in the head by two more of Rourke's mercenaries.

Rourke: (to the two men) What the Hell do you two think you're doing?!

The supposed mercenaries took of their masks to reveal Rick Flagg and David Cain.

David: What we're doing is saving J.D.'s kids.

Rick Flagg: (to the former Suicide Squad members) Can't seem to keep yourselves out of trouble, can you?

Me: Anthony Miller A.K.A. Red Flagg and David Cain. Boy do I owe you guys one.

Rick Flagg: Think nothing of it J.D. and it's an honor to meet you.

Me: Same here.

Ra's: It's good to see you again David.

David Cain: Master Ra's! We all heard that you were dead.

Ra's: I was but thanks to J.D. and some unforseen circumstances I am back after almost a year.

Lori: (to Rick Flagg and David Cain) Rourke still has Kida and yet, you were still able to save Heather, Emily, and Rebecca?!

Rick Flagg: (sarcastically) I guess that's your way of saying "Thanks for saving J.D.'s kids"?

Leanbow: Don't worry, Mr. Flagg. We really are glad that J.D.'s kids are safe.

Me: But Rourke got away. Lets get over there.

BOOM!

An explosion blasted through a wall.

Vinny: Knock, knock.

Cookie: Room service.

But they saw that the King was gone!

Me: You're too late Rourke!

We had our weapons and guns and swords ready and Flash got Kida away and we were ready to fight.

Me: You're not getting that crystal and we're gonna make sure you don't!

Rourke: Where's the King!?

Me: As if I would ever tell you!

Nico: We were on to you the whole time Rourke! We knew you were up to no good!

Lola: Yeah you fiend!

Rourke: Then there has to be a way into the chamber.

Milo: Well, there isn't. It just says… "The heart of Atlantis lies in the eyes of her king."

Me: You are not getting it.

Rourke: Well then...

He saw the symbol that was on the cover of the journal. And he saw the same symbol on a pond.

Rourke: The heart of Atlantis lies in the eyes of her king. This is it. We're in.

He knew how to get into the chamber.

MILO: Rourke, for the last time you've got to listen to me. You don't have the slightest idea what this power is capable of.

Me: Yeah it's power is incredible!

Helga: True, but I can think of a few countries who'd pay anything to find out.

Me: The Love of Money is the Root of all evil.

Rourke got onto a platform and it rumbled.

[Rumbling]

Rourke: Hurry. Get on.

We followed them and we saw a strange and incredible sight! We saw the Crystal and it had a bunch of stone faces in orbit around it.

Rourke: Jackpot.

Me: Wow. Is that the Crystal?

Lola: What are those stone faces around it?

Nico: I don't have any clue.

Kida: Ohh. The kings of our past. [Speaking Atlantean softly]

Rourke: Thatch, tell her to wrap it up. We got a schedule to meet.

Milo: Um… Kida… I'm sorry.

Me: Atlantis must have a much bigger history than what we first thought.

Hunter: (German Accent) Maybe 100,000 years. Maybe more.

Me: Maybe.

Rourke went over to a pool and kicked a small stone into the water and red energy beams came out of the Crystal.

[Voices murmuring]

Helga: Come on, let's get this over with. I don't like this place.

Me: I've got a really bad feeling about this.

Rourke: All right, Thatch, what's next?

Milo: OK, there's a giant crystal hovering 150 feet above our heads over a bottomless pit of water. Doesn't anything surprise you?

A beam of light enveloped Kida and turned aqua blue and her crystal necklace lifted up.

Rourke: The only thing that surprises me…

Kida: Mahtim.

Her eyes turned aqua blue.

Rourke: That thing's not on the truck yet. Now move it!

Milo: I don't know how to move it. I don't even know what's holding it up there.

Me: Yeah we don't even know how it's being held up there.

We saw Kida walking.

Rourke: Ahh. Talk to me, Thatch. What's happening?

Milo: Look, all it says here is that the crystal is alive somehow. It… I don't know how to explain it. It's their deity. It's their power source.

Rourke: Speak English, professor.

Milo: They're part of it. It's a part of them. I'm doing the best I can here.

Rourke: Well, do better.

Milo: Oh, I know. Why don't you translate and I'll wave the gun around!?

Kida: [Atlantean: Don't be afraid Milo, all will be well]

Me: (Gulp)

Rourke: What did she say?

Milo: I don't know. I didn't catch it.

Varie: She said Don't be afraid Milo, All will be well.

Kida walked onto the water and we were all getting a glimpse of its power.

[Woman sings in Atlantean]

[Chorus singing]

As she got closer the power of the crystal was rising.

[Rumbling]

The stones moved and the beams converged on Kida. Then a massive surge of energy happened as the beam hit her crystal.

Me: Whoa.

[Thunder] [Thunder]

She was lifted up and went into the crystal and then massive energy surges flickered as the crystal spun and the stone faces were orbiting around it faster.

[Rumbling] [Low humming]

Kida fully merged with the crystal and the level of power coming off of her was incredible.

[Energy blasts]

She was now one with it.

[Noises stop]

The energy coming off of her was incredible.

[Energy blasts]

Me: Incredible!

Varie: What power!

Eli: Unbelievable!

Kida came down and she was walking on the water.

Rourke: Hold your horses lover boy.

Milo: Kida. Kida!

Me: Here she comes.

She came to us and the stone faces came falling down and splash into the water.

Me: She's totally one with the crystal.

Milo: No, don't. Don't touch her.

Me: She's totally translucent.

Nico: Amazing. I've never sensed this kind of level of power.

Lola: It's amazing.

Laney: It's like she's made of pure energy.

[People murmuring]

They were later building a cage for Kida.

SERGEANT: All right, step back.

SQUAD LEADER: Sergeant, keep those people back.

Man: You heard him. Step back.

SERGEANT: I'm warning you.

They loaded it on a truck.

Milo: So… I guess this is how it ends, huh? Fine. You win. You're wiping out an entire civilization. but, hey… you'll be rich. Congratulations, Audrey. Guess you and your dad will be able to open up that second garage after all. And, Vinny, you can start a whole chain of flower shops. I'm sure your family's going to be very proud. But that's what it's all about, right? Money.

Me: The root of all evil.

Rourke: Get off your soapbox, Thatch. You've read Darwin. It's called natural selection. We're just helping it along.

Helga: Commander, we're ready.

Rourke: Yeah, give me a minute. I know I'm forgetting something. I got the cargo, the crystal, the crew… Oh, yeah.

He punched at me and I grabbed his fist.

Me: You don't have any idea who you're fucking around with.

I crushed his fist and pushed him back and he crashed into the cage.

[Atlanteans gasp]

Rourge: Look at it this way, son. You were the man who discovered Atlantis and now you're part of the exhibit. Let's move, people.

Helga: That was an order, not a suggestion. Let's go!

Audrey and most of the crew came and they knew that it was wrong.

PACKARD: [Sighs] [Inhales] We're all going to die.

Rourke: Oh, you can't be serious.

Audrey: Rourke! This is wrong, and you know it.

Me: Yeah Rourke!

ROURKE: We're this close to our biggest payday ever and you pick now of all times to grow a conscience?

VINNY: We've done a lot of things we're not proud of robbing graves, plundering tombs, double parking, but nobody got hurt. Well, maybe somebody got hurt but nobody we knew.

Rourke: Well, if that's the way you want it, fine. More for me. P.T. Barnum was right. [Engine backfires]

They crossed the bridge.

Milo: We can't let him do this!

Vinny: Wait a second.

He blew up the bridge.

KRABBBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM! KRABBBBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM! KRABBBBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!

The Bridge was destroyed.

[Crowd gasps]

Vinny: OK, now you can go.

Me: We better go check on the king.

We went up and did so.

King: You were right J.D. That man was up to no good.

Me: No he wasn't.

Milo: What a nightmare. And I brought it here.

Sweet: Ah, don't go beating yourself up. He's been after that crystal since Iceland.

Me: Your majesty, we won't fail you. We're gonna go after them as soon as we come up with a plan.

KING: Where is my daughter?

Milo: Well, she… she… Mmm.

KING: She has been chosen like her mother before her.

Milo: What?

Me: Chosen? What do you mean?

KING: 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.

Me: You mean the crystal chose her for that reason?

King: Yes.

Milo: Choose? So this thing is alive?

KING: In a way. The crystal thrives on the collective emotions of all who came before us. In return, it provides power, longevity, protection. As it grew it developed a consciousness of its own.

Me: It developed some kind of sentience.

Nico: Wow.

King: Indeed. In my arrogance I sought to use it as a weapon of war, but it's power proved too great to control. It overwhelmed us and led to our destruction.

Me: So it was because of the Crystal that it lead to Atlantis being sunk beneath the surface of the Earth.

Milo: And that's why you hid it beneath the city, to keep history from repeating itself.

KING: And to prevent Kida from suffering the same fate as my beloved wife.

Laney: That's terrible!

Milo: What do you mean? Wh… What's going to happen to Kida?

King: If she remains bonded to the crystal, she could be lost to it forever. The love of my daughter is all I have left. My burden would have become hers, when the time was right. But now, it falls to you.

Milo: Me?

The King gave Milo a crystal.

King: Return the Crystal, save Atlantis and save my daughter and us all.

Me: We will your majesty.

Eli: Kida is like a big sister to me. I won't let Rourke get away with this.

Me: We all won't.

Sweet: So, what's it gonna be?

Milo: Excuse me?

Sweet: I followed you in, and I'll follow you out. It's your decision.

Milo: Oh, my decision? I think we've seen how effective my decisions have been. Let's recap: I lead a band of plundering vandals to the greatest archaeological find in recorded history, thus enabling the kidnap of the royal family, not to mention personally delivering the most powerful force known to man into the hands of a mercenary nutcase who's probably gonna sell it to the KAISER! HAVE I LEFT ANYTHING OUT?!

Sweet: Well, you did set the camp on fire and J.D. saved us all the entire time.

Milo: Thank you! Thank you very much.

Dr. Light: Look, we get it. You made a mistake. But after the usual battles, you can either sit here and mope. Or, you can do something about it. It's your choice.

Me: That's right Milo. None of this was your fault. This was all done because of pure greed. Pure unadulterated greed.

Nico: Money has a way of causing people to do evil things, but there are lots of things that money can never buy.

Milo: Like what?

Me: Love, friendship, power, anything like that. I think it's time we show the people of Atlantis the power we have that will trounce Rourke for good. He will rue the day he messed with the power of Team Loud Phoenix Storm! (Eyes Glow Red)

Eli: Yeah!

Me: We are the most powerful force in the entire universe and we will not let Rourke get away with this.

Eli: Yeah!

Sweet: Of course, it's been my experience when you hit bottom the only place left to go is up.

Milo: [Sighs] Who told you that?

Sweet: A fella by the name of Thaddeus Thatch.

Me: I didn't know about that Sweet. That's cool that Milo's grandfather told you that. But lets show you all our power by having our usual battles.

We went onto the main terrace of the palace and then Iron Lung, Zzzax, Tala, LaGrange, Trickster, Toy Man, Wolf O'Donnell and Beetle appeared.

Me: Iron Lung, Zzzax, Tala, LaGrange, Trickster, Toy Man, Wolf O'Donnell and Beetle. (Jokingly) Fancy seeing you all here after 10,000 years.

Zzzax: (Laughs) That was funny!

Toy Man: It sure was.

Iron Lung: (to me) Before the usual battles, Nico, I have something to give you.

Nico: What's that?

SMASH!

Iron Lung then punched him in the face.

Nico: Okay. I deserve that.

Zzzax: Good. It's what you get for making us think you were dead!

Tala: Myotismon was actually crying his eyes out when he thought you were dead!

Nico: I'm sorry about that. But I had to lay low for a few hours so I could get Sid the Squid out of there.

LaGrange: It still devestated us when we heard the news about your so called demise!

Me: May already did that guys.

Iron Lung: Oops. Sorry.

Lola: No worries.

Me: Besides it will take more than an explosion like that to kill him.

Goku: It's true and Nico is a Saiyan after all.

Zzzax: Wow. Also we have 4 new archenemies for the Digimon Sovereign.

Me: Really?

LaGrange: Yep.

Then 4 huge figures came out and they were THE TITANS OF DISNEY'S HERCULES FROM 1997: LYTHOS, HYDROS, PYROS and STRATOS!


Lythos The Mountain King

The Titans are supporting antagonists in the 1997 Disney animated feature film, Hercules. They are portrayed as four elemental monsters who terrorized Ancient Greece. They were each the physical manifestation of the element they controlled. Though based on Greek mythology, these "Titans" were original creations for the film. Hercules: The Series featured Titan characters from actual Greek mythology.

The Mountain King: A two-headed Titan made completely out of rock. He ripped through the gates of Mt. Olympus, and is the physical manifestation of earth. He appears to be a large two-headed boulder creature with glowing red eyes. The inside of his mouth is red as well. Since he is very large and heavy, Lythos has the ability to stomp on the ground and cause massive earthquakes. He was voiced by Corey Burton(right head) and Patrick Pinney(left head).

Hydros the Lurker

The Lurker: A skeletal Titan made completely out of ice. He teamed up with Pyros to engulf Zeus into the Earth. He is the physical manifestation of ice. He was voiced by Jim Ward.

Pyros the Lord of Flame

The Lord of Flame: A blob-like Titan made completely out of lava. He teamed up with Hydros to engulf Zeus in the Earth. He is the physical manifestation of fire. He was voiced by Jim Cummings.

Stratos the Mystic Voice

The Mystic Voice: A tornado-like Titan with tornado arms, red eyes, and a red mouth. He was captured by Hercules to suck up the other titans and destroy them. He is the physical manifestation of air. He was voiced by Corey Burton.


Me: The Titans!

Nico: WHOA!

Lola: The Digimon Sovereign all get the Titans as their archenemies!? This is so awesome!

Hydros: It is amazing isn't it.

Stratos: We think so too.

?: I agree with you.

A figure came out and it was BLAZINATOR from episode 12 of Turbo!


Blazinator is a fire truck monster created by Divatox's detonator explosion while on a normal fire truck. It was destroyed by the Auto Blasters.


T.J. Johnson: Blazinator!

Blazinator: Been a while rangers!

Me: I remember you! You were made by Divatox's detonator while on a fire truck!

Blazinator: That's right. I look cool huh?

Me: You sure do.

Maria: (to Blazinator) Consdering you're a fire engine monster, you probably should've been created by Bansheera to fight the Lgihtspeed Rescue Rangers.

Blazinator: (laughs) You're right about that. Heck, if I had a robot mode, I probably would've been a Protectobot.

Me: That is funny! But maybe I can make that happen later on in the future.

Pyros: This will be fun!

Zhuqiaomon: It sure will be! The Digimon Sovereign have not seen any action ever since the True Enemy came.

Nico: You must mean the D-Reaper.

Azulongmon: Exactly.

Me: People of Atlantis you are in for an awesome show.

Nico: Oh yeah! Lets rock!

Me: Lets do it!

We went at them.


Battle 1: Liam, Twilight Sparkle, Star Swirl, Alice, Joe Shimamura, Mixmaster and Scrapper VS Iron Lung


Iron Lung was first.

Iron Lung: (to Liam) Be honest. Were you very upset when you thought Nico died?

Liam: We all were. But to be honest I actually knew that Nico was too powerful to be blown up in an explosion like that.

Twilight Sparkle: That's right! I actually knew he wouldn't go down that easily.

Star Whirl: Me too. He is too strong.

Alice: You got that right.

Joe Shimamura: That's right!

They went at him.

Battle 2: Mollie, Pinkie Pie, Somnambula, Shun, Jet Link, Wildrider and Dead End VS Zzzax


Zzzax was next.

Zzzax: (To Mollie) In case you were wondering, we sent Rick Flagg and David Cain to replace two of Rourke's mercenaries while you guys met the king.

Mollie: You sneaky devils. I guess one of you got the memo from one of the members that came with us.

Zzzax: Indeed we did.

Pinkie Pie: That's really clever. Way to come ahead.

Somnambula: (Egyptian Accent) Indeed. Genius.

Somnambula: Most fun.


Battle 3: Harry Potter, Starlight Glimmer, Clover the Clever, Françoise, Runo, Diamond Tiara and Discord VS Tala


Tala was next.

Tala: (to Harry) You heard right. Myotismon actually cried his eyes out when he heard about Nico's so called death.

Harry Potter: (British Accent) I believe you but I always knew he wouldn't go down that easily. I think it was part of a plan that Nico had.

Starlight Glimmer: I think so too and Batman told us that this happened to him before.

Tala: Really? This happened to Batman as well?

Clover: That's what he said. And it was all an accident as well.

Françoise: Yeah it was a clever plan too.

Runo: It sure was. But thank goodness he and Nico are both okay.

Diamond Tiara: Same here. This was a good plan.

Discord: It really was. I would've made it out okay myself.

LaGrange was next.

LaGrange: (to Vert) One of these days, J.D. and the others should take you on one of their races.

Vert: I know it has been a while.

Rainbow Dash: Those races that J.D. told us about are AWESOME!

Flash Magnus: They sure are. I think it will be awesome for all of us to participate in a race.

Trickster was next.

Trickster: (to Raimundo) Rourke has no idea what he's fucking with. In more ways then one.

Raimundo: You got that right! He had no idea we are all immortal and invincible. Bullets don't kill us.

Fluttershy: No they don't. I hope Rourke gets what's coming to him.

Mage Meadowbrook: Indeed. He messed with us and we will mess with him.

Marucho: You got that right!

Geronimo Jr.: Yeah!

Fluttershy: That was fun.


Battle 6: Carter Grayson, Applejack, Rockhoof, Julie, Chang Changzu, Pharaoh Man and Turbo Man VS Toy Man


Toy Man was next.

Toy Man: (to Carter) Do you agree that Blazinator probably should've been created to fight your team instead of the Turbo Rangers?

Carter Grayson: I agree with that completely. But villains all have their own agendas.

Applejack: They sure do and they have their own plans for their own minions.

Rockhoof: (Scottish Accent) Aye. They sure do.

Julie: Yeah they do.

Chang: Yep.

Applejack: YEEHAW! That was awesome!


Battle 7: Cole Evans, Sunset Shimmer, Gusty the Great, Sir Great Britain, Fuzzy Lumpkins and Cheetah VS Wolf O'Donnell


Wolf O'Donnell was next.

Wolf: (to Cole Evans) Have you and the others heard about the Aparoids? If not, you guys should probably look into that soon.

Cole Evans: No we haven't heard of them. But we'll have to take that into consideration.

Sunset Shimmer: Wait a second! The Aparoids!? Oh man! I know them!

Cheetah: What are they?

Sunset Shimmer: A very dangerous insectoid race that are parasitic and want all things in the universe all for themselves.

Sunset Shimmer went over their history.


The Aparoids are the main antagonistic force of the 2005 Gamecube game, Star Fox: Assault. They are an insidious race techno-organic insectoids led by their queen, who seeks to conquer the Lylat system and eventually the universe.

Appearance

The Aparoids come in many forms and varieties, but all appear as bio-mechanical insects with offensive capabilities.

Personality

Each and every Aparoid is part of a hive-mind controlled by the Aparoid Queen, who desires nothing but absolute subjugation of all existence. Everything built by the Aparoids is made to serve in their conquest.

Powers and Abilities

The abilities of each Aparoid species depends on their role. Either they attack their enemies by firing lasers, shooting dark energy spheres, or by simply charging at their foes. But their greatest and most frightening aspect is the ability to assimilate other beings, whether they are living or mechanical, allowing their kind to multiply even further and overwhelm their opponents through sheer numbers.

Members

The Queen
This entity is the sole member to have free will, and controls the rest. Her appearance is somewhat humanoid at first, but she becomes monstrous later on. Fox and his friends have to kill her to destroy the rest of her kind. Killing her is not easy; she can only be killed by the Self-Destruct program, which would cause apoptosis in her cells.

History

Early years

It is not exactly known how or when the Aparoid species formed, or if they may be a mutated race. Their homeworld is outside of the Lylat System. The Aparoid queen, who likely had a significantly longer lifespan than other organisms, may have created the species, as she can spawn more aparoids. By Beltino's account, about seventeen years prior the Aparoid Invasion, a moth-like aparoid came across a Cornerian Fleet and wiped it out leaving few survivors to witness, which alerted the Cornerian Army to the Aparoid's existence. However, nothing was done in defense, as no other known attacks were made on them by the Cornerian Army. The Aparoids did not show themselves again, and went quiet for a time

The Aparoid Invasion The Battle of Fortuna

The aparoids then began to feel the Lylat System belonged to them. In 9 ALW, during The Oikonny rebellion conflict, the Aparoids executed their invasion, by first striking Fortuna, where the last battle of the rebellion was being fought. A moth-like Aparoid (assumed to be the same one that attacked the fleet) arrived at Fortuna, and revealed itself when he destroyed a slightly weakened version of Oikonny's flagship, who was leading the rebellion. The moth then did battle with the Star Fox team, but was killed. Its Core Memory was taken by the team right as the Aparoids launched a full-scale attack on the planet. The Cornerian Fleet recognized them and escaped, but the rebels were ignorant to the danger and all of them were killed, save Oikonny. Fortuna's natives, escaped and suffered very light casualties, but the Aparoids had the planet occupied. Soon they struck with full force on the galaxy, capturing many planets on the way in vicious battles. The Cornerians reacted by hiring Star Fox to deal with the threat.

The Battle of Katina

One of the next victims of the Aparoid Invasion was an outpost on Katina. Star Fox was notified of a distress signal coming from this outpost, and was sent there by General Pepper to find the source. The Aparoids attacked with many of their troops, but were unable to stop them, even with Aparoid hatchers. The Aparoids finally sent the leader of the invasion of Katina to the surface of the planet. The leader was destroyed by Fox, and its Core Memory was stolen by Pigma Dengar (the one who sent the distress signal) before Star Fox could claim it. The Aparoids were driven off of Katina afterwards.

The Battle of Fichina

The Aparoids then attacked Fichina, which coincidentally, the Star Fox team had been dispatched to find Pigma. The Aparoids captured the climate control center, eliminated the scientists stationed there, and with some unexpected help from Pigma, got the sentry bots turned into Aparoids. But Fox intervened and were able to get the control center back on. The Sentry Bots attacked him, but were defeated by Falco. Pigma again gave some more unexpected help to the Aparoids, by using the Core Memory to turn a piece of the center's generator engineering into an aparoid, which would cause the center to explode if not beat fast enough. The aparoid was defeated, and it was soon driven out by Cornerian Soldiers.

The Battle of Meteo

The Cornerians discovered Pigma's whereabouts in Meteo, an asteroid belt, and were sent to capture him with Star Fox leading it. They were unaware that, due to Pigma's actions, the Aparoids had began assimilating him into some form of machinery. The Aparoids attacked with full force and used the assimilated prototype they captured on Fortuna against the team, but to no avail. They soon caught up with Pigma, who was just assimilated into the machinery. The team defeated him and captured the Core Memory, earning Corneria a victory, with the bonus of Meteo.

The Battle of Sauria

Just as Corneria was analyzing data from the Core Memory, the Aparoids attacked Sauria, because they were drawn to large energy sources shown by Sauria's dinosaur tribe's unmatched ability to survive. The natives fought back hard but were nearly defeated with certain tribes suffering heavy casualties. But Star Fox quickly rushed in to reinforce the Saurians and destroy the hatchers there.

The Battle of Corneria

While Star Fox was on Sauria, a colossal Aparoid armada invaded Corneria itself, nearly decimating the Cornerian Defense Force, assimilating many of the soldiers stationed there, and quickly gaining control of the planet's capital city. The Aparoids also placed a number of EMP radar jammers throughout Corneria City. Star Fox came to stop the Aparoid invasion, with Fox going on foot to seek and destroy the jammers. After an arduous struggle, Fox was then trapped by a multitude of Aparoid ground and air units, and was caught between assimilation or a gruesome fall to his death, but in a turn of events, Wolf came to Fox's rescue and destroyed the Aparoids surrounding Fox. After Star Fox and Wolf defeated a large number of air and land based Aparoids, General Pepper's flagship flew in from over the ocean, having been infected by Aparoidedation. Fox was forced to fight him, and as Pepper was about to die, Peppy rescued him by stabilizing the fall trajectory with his Arwing.

The Battle of The Orbital Gate

The Aparoids quickly learned of the invasion plans of their homeworld, and attempted to stop it by launching a full scale offense on the orbital gate. Star Fox and Star Wolf assisted the Cornerians and seemed to hold back the Aparoids' massive waves of fighters. The Aparoids then began to warp in multiple missiles in an attempt to destroy the entire station. After the missiles had been destroyed, the aparoids launched a gigantic, three-part missile, but it was also destroyed before it could achieve its goal. It seemed that while there were still a few Aparoid fighters left in the area, the battle was over.

The Battle of the Aparoid Homeworld

The Cornerians launched an offensive on the planet with Star Fox leading the invasion, but the Aparoids managed to reduce the Cornerian fleet by 20% and forced them to retreat. The Aparoids had set up a shield to protect the way into the planet's core. Star Fox took out the generators and the team prepared to go into the planet solo, but the Aparoids activated an auxiliary shield. However, as the Great Fox was under heavy attack by Aparoids attaching themselves to the unprotected rear hull, Peppy and ROB presumably sacrificed themselves by ramming the ship into the shield, taking it down just long enough for the Star Fox Team to get through. The Aparoids threw everything they had in desperation at Star Fox and the Star Wolf team, which had also some how gotten through the Aparoid's defenses, but were unable to stop Star Fox from entering the queen's lair, with Star Wolf distracting a group of Aparoids that was blocking Fox from proceeding further.

The queen initially tried to fool Star Fox into surrendering by using information from things it had absorbed to try and convince Star Fox that the Aparoids were not an enemy, using the voices of the team's friends and father. It didn't work, however, and after a fierce battle, Star Fox succeeded in launching the self-destruct Program into the queen, but she began suppressing it and tried to escape, which would allow it to create an antibody. Star Fox gave chase and after one final battle, was able to set off the program. The Aparoids, the queen, and their homeworld were completely annihilated soon after, and their threat was ended.


When she was done they were shocked.

Gusty: That's horrible!

Cole: They are like The Borg from Star Trek.

Wolf: Yeah they are that dangerous.

Eli: Yeah it's hard.

Vinny: Hey, Milo, you got something sporty? You know, like a tuna?

ATLANTEAN: How is this done?

Milo: All you got to do is use the crystals. Kida showed me.

Milo got into a shark vehicle.

Milo: Half-turn right, quarter-run back. Keep your hand on the pad.

Cookie: Saddle up, partners. Bring jerky and ammo. [Engines revving]

Me: We got plenty of it!

Mole: I'm so excited.

Milo: All right, this is it! We're going to rescue the princess. We're going to save Atlantis. Or we're going to die trying. Now let's do it!

Me: We're not gonna die! NOW LETS GO KILL THOSE SONS OF BITCHES!

[Atlanteans cheering]

In a volcanic shaft, a missile was fired and it hit the top of the shaft and exploded!

KRABBBBOOOOOMMMMM!

Daylight was shining down.

Rourke: I love it when I win.

We were flying through the tunnel.

The crew got a zeppelin ready!

Milo: OK, here's the plan. We're going to come in low and fast and take them by surprise.

Audrey: Well, I've got news for you, Milo. Rourke is never surprised, and he's got a lot of guns.

Milo: Great. Well, do you have any suggestions?

Vinny: Yeah. Don't get shot.

Me: Target sighted!

The zeppelin was starting to go up and Rourke and the crew saw us!

Milo: There they are!

Rourke: We've got company!

(GUNFIRE)

I fired energy blasts all over the place and blew some of the crew apart in massive fiery explosions!

KRABBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM! KRABBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM! KRABBBBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!

Man: Take off!

They lauched planes.

Rourke: Take her up!

Nico: Take this!

Nico fired a blast of energy and it hit the zeppelin and blew it apart in a fiery explosion and sent it crashing down and Vince and Carol grabbed the cage with Kida in it and cut it free and the zeppelin crashed into the ground.

Me: It's over Rourke! You're finished! And we'll pay quadruple to you all to kill Rourke!

The men all agreed and went at him.

Me, Milo, William and Maria were facing him.

Rourke: (to Milo, William, me, and Maria) Well, I have to hand it to you 4. You're bigger pains in the ass than I would have ever thought possible! I consider myself an even-tempered man; it takes a lot to get under my skin. But congratulations - you guys just won the solid gold kewpie doll!

William: (smirks) Really? I wonder what it'll take for someone to win silver and bronze!

POW!

I punched Rourke in the face and kicked him in the stomach 10 times and dealt him a deadly uppercut and sent him crashing into the rock wall!

Maria: You make me sick Rourke! You don't give a flying fuck about anyone but yourself!

William: That's right! Prepare to have your fucking ass handed to you!

I punched Rourke in the face and stomach and everyone else was dealing damage to some of the crew and more. Lyssta, Pyrithion, and Raimusa smashed and blasted some of the men all over the place.

Lincoln: Take this one! LIGHTNING STYLE: ELECTRO SPIRIT BALL!

Lincoln formed a ball of lightning and sent it at a bunch of men and it hit them all over and electrocuted them.

Jessica Shannon: This will hurt! STING STYLE: FIVE FINGER STING SHOT!

Jessica fired five energy blasts from her fingers.

Mai fired a blast of fire from her fist and it turned into a dragon.

Hilda: (British Accent) Try this one on! WILD STYLE: RAGING WIND SLASH!

Hilda fired blades of wind from her sword!

Menat: SPIRIT STYLE: SPIRIT PHOENIX BLADE!

Menat formed a blade of spirit energy and fired a blast of fire and it formed into a phoenix.

R. Mika: Take this! STRENGTH STYLE: MOUNTAIN SPLITTING WAVE!

She fired a wave of energy and it hit a bunch of men and obliterated them.

Makoto: Take this! STRENGTH STYLE: BONE CRUSHING FIST!

Makoto smashed numerous men all over.

Ibuki: STEALTH STYLE: VOID SLASH!

Ibuki fired blades of darkness.

Yuna: WATER STYLE: QUENCHING TIGER FIST!

Yuna fired a blast of water from her fist and it formed into a tiger.

Shantae: MAGIC STYLE: MYSTIC WHIRLWIND STRIKE!

Shantae fired a wave of magic and wind and it formed into a tornado.

The blasts obliterated most of Rourke's men.

Ed Cowart: EAT DIRT GREEDY CIVILIZATION DESTROYING THIEVES! (BLASTS ROURKE'S MEN EVERYWHERE) HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Earthworm Jim: EAT DIRT GENOCIDAL SCUMBAGS! (BLASTS ROURKE'S MEN EVERYWHERE) HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Punch, Sam, Magma and Sixshot all used the Earth Cyber Planet Keys and they enhanced Punch's Mortar Launcher, Sam's fire powers, Magma's volcano powers and Sixshot's weapons and powers 100-fold.

Punch and Sam Sharp Loud: VOLCANIC MORTAR BLAST!

They fired a mortar and fire blast.

Magma and Sixshot: VOLCANIC FIRESTORM BLAST!

Magma and Sixshot fired blasts of lava and energy. The blasts hit some of Rourke's loyal crew and killed them.

Misty Tredwell: You make me sick Rourke! No one hurts my kids and J.D. and lives!

Me: Darn tootin!

Helga then shot Rourke in the shoulder.

Rourke saw it and he was enraged!

Helga: I am through with you!

Lincoln, Yuna, Toph, Mai, R. Mika, Hilda, Menat, Jessica, Gluka and Shantae: FINAL SMASH: 1,000 CRACK FIST OF THE NORTH STAR!

They smashed Rourke all over with incredible fury and power with the force of 1,000 star strikes!

Milo Thatch, me, William, Maria, Varie, Misty Tredwell and May: NEPTUNE FIRE MEGABLAST!

We fired a massive blast of blew fire and it hit Rourke and burned him all over.

Me: Had enough Rourke!?

Milo kicked him in the face and he was getting tired.

Rourke: Tired, Mr. Thatch?! Ah, that's a darn shame...'cause I'm just getting warmed up!

Maria: Well, here's something to cool you off! (shoots water at Rourke)

Me: Sorry Kida.

I punched Kida's cage window and take a piece of glass from the cage window and slashed his arm.

Rourke: (Screams in pain) (Crystal spreads all over him) [Rumbling] Aah! Aah! (Turns into a crystal man) [Shrieks] Aah!

MILO: Thank heaven. Whoa!

ROURKE: [Growls]

Me: You want money!? YOU CAN HAVE IT ALL IN HELL!

I fired an energy blast and it hit the Crystal Rourke and blew him apart in a massive energy explosion!

KRABBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMM!

Rourke was dead!

Me: That's the end of Rourke.

But then we felt rumbling and the ground was cracking.

Me: Uh oh!

Mole: The volcano… she awakes!

Vinny: Hey, I had nothing to do with it.

Cookie: This here would be a good place not to be.

Milo: No, wait. We got to get Kida back or the whole city will die.

Audrey: And if we don't get out of here, we'll die.

MILO: It's the only way to reverse this.

Vince and Carol got the cage.

Vince: Me and Carol got her!

Me: Lets go!

Helga: Hurry!

We flew back to the city and I grabbed the digger and we landed in the main terrace. Milo took a spear and tried to pry the cage open. The cliff was bubbling with lava and it was gonna blow at any second.

Mole: The fissure, it is about to eject its pyroclastic fury!

SWEET: Milo, Mole says the wall's going to blow!

Me: (Grunts) We know what it means!

Milo: Unh! Uhh!

The cage bursted open and the amount of energy coming from Kida was incredible!

[Atlanteans gasp] [Voices murmuring]

Laney: Whoa! What power!

[Crackling]

The symbols and cracks on the floor glowed and the entire palace glowed.

[Electricity crackles]

In the chamber of the crystal the stone faces came to life and floated up.

[Rumbling]

The stone faces came up through the floor and we saw Kida fly up with them.

[Voices murmuring]

Me: Whoa!

Nico: My God! What power!

Varie: Unbelievable!

Eli: Incredible!

The stone faces spun fast.

[Wind whistling]

[Electricity crackles]

It fired beams of energy and they hit a bunch of ruins and the ruins were really the stone golems and they rose up out of the water as lava bombs flew everywhere.

Me: Oh wow!

The Golems got to the edge of the circle of the city.

Lincoln: Incredible!

Lily: Wow!

Lava was bursting from the wall.

[Rumbling]

The whole wall exploded open and the lava came pouring out.

[Loud boom]

The golems formed the force field dome and it protected us. The lava was pouring out of the wall and over the dome and it was an unbelievable sight.

[Muffled splashing]

The dome was covered by the lava and it hardened into a solid rock dome thanks to an energy burst. Then the rock dome started cracking.

[Cracking]

It then started falling apart.

[Rumbling]

The force field faded and more water came pouring out.

Me: Whoa! That was incredible!

Eli: So cool!

Kida came down from the air in a beam of light and she was exhausted. Milo, Me and Eli caught her had we her in our arms.

Kida: Uhh. Milo?

Me: Are you all right Kida?

Kida: I think so.

Eli: (Smiles) She's okay.

We cheered for her.

Me: You did it Kida. You did it. You killed Rourke. He's dead and gone.

Nico: That was awesome.

Me: Actually we all did it. And it wasn't just us. It was all of Earth, the Universe and Atlantis coming together.

Eli: We sure did.

Kida saw that she had her bracelet in her hands.

Me: Your bracelet.

Kida hugged Milo.

I saw something.

Me: Wow look at that!

We saw that there was more ruins that were unearthed after millennia.

Eli: Wow!

Nico: So much was hidden underneath all that water.

Lola: It's amazing.

Varie: It sure is.

Later we were getting a ship ready to go back home.

Kida: Atlantis will honor your names forever. (We were given Crystals) I only wish there was more we could do for you.

Vince: Uh, you know, thanks anyway but I think we're good.

Milo: They'll take you as far as the surface.

Audrey: We are really going to miss you, Milo.

Vinny: You know, I'm going to reopen the flower shop and I'm going to think of you guys every single day… Monday through Friday, Saturday until 2:00. Sunday… I'm going to take Sunday off probably, and… Maybe I'll go in for a couple of hours, you know but August, I'm going to take August.

Cookie: I ain't so good at speechifyin' but I wanted you to have this. It's the bacon grease from the whole trip.

Milo: Cookie, l…

Cookie: [Mutters] Aw…

Audrey: [Kiss] Ah-ah. Two for Flinching. See you, Milo.

Lynn: (Laughs) Looks like we have something in common Audrey.

Mole: Hey, Milo! Heh heh! [Insects buzzing] [Laughs]

Milo: Mole. Mole. Wow. Hey, well… good-bye, Mole. [Pats Mole on head]

Sweet: Now, you sure you want to stay? There's a hero's welcome waiting for the man who discovered Atlantis.

Milo: Ah, I don't think the world needs another hero. Besides, I hear there's an opening down here for an expert in gibberish.

Me: That's a great idea Milo.

Sweet: You take good care of yourself, Milo Thatch.

Milo: Yeah. You, too, Sweet.

Sweet: Come here. [Crack]

Milo: Unh! Sweet, uh, before you go, could you…

Sweet: No problem. [Crack]

Milo: Ah. Oh. Thanks. Ha ha ha!

Sweet: Oh, you're getting a bill.

We laughed.

King: I would like to thank all of you for saving Atlantis. And my daughter.

Trickster: It was no problem, your majesty.

Toy Man: Now, no one will try to steal your crystal ever again.

Wolf: (to Milo's friends) And you guys can get paid without anyone dying.

Beetle: (to Helga) I knew you'd make the right choice.

Helga: Thank you all.

Me: Rourke was a monster. Now he'll have all the money in the world when he is burning in it down in hell.

Nico: You got that right.

Me: But our adventures are not finished yet. We have 10,000 years of restorations to help you all out with. I'm going to start an Atlantis Restoration Program for you all.

King: Thank you all.

Me: You're welcome. But as long as we're around we'll make sure that no one steals the Crystal.

King: Thank you.

Packard: Can we go home now?

Sweet:Come on, y'all. Let's get one last shot in front of the fish.

Me: Good idea.

We all gathered around.

Atlantean: Say "Gochk."

All: Gochk. [Camera shutter clicks]

We later went back home and we had an awesome photo made and we hung it on the wall.

Me: Not bad for an early 20th Century Photo.

Nico: Yeah that was an awesome adventure!

William: It sure was. (To the viewers) And I hope you all liked it too.

Me: I know I did.

We had a great time.

THE END


Another awesome fanfiction complete.

Atlantis The Lost Empire has been one of my favorite movies for a long long time and I have always been fascinated with the Lost City of Atlantis since I was young. For over 10,000 years we have wondered if the legendary city is real. Michael J. Fox did a great job in that movie and this was before he contracted Parkinson's Disease and I have known his acting for years. NicoChan11, JediAvatarOfShinobi, Omegahatchiyak12, XP4Universe and ninjakingofhearts all gave me the ideas for this. Thanks guys. Get ready as we embark on 3 awesome adventures from Atlantis as we go on the journeys of the sequel to Atlantis The Lost Empire from 2003, Atlantis 2: Milo's Return and we're going to take down three dangerous bad guys that are playing with forces no mere mortal over the course of 10,000 years can understand. Get ready for an awesome adventure as we take down an evil madman that sold his soul to the evil Kraken, A thief selling Atlantean Pottery and an insane madman out to destroy the Earth with the Spear of Destiny and unleash Ragnarok!
