Since he or Peggy didn't find Kida in the first gondola, it makes sense that she would be in the second gondola, but first he has to cross the bridge, and as he entered into the bridge, he saw a few high-decorated Stormtroopers lined up, with a General shouting orders in German behind those high-level Stormtroopers.

Strangely enough, since he got infused with the help of the crystals, he is able to understand German way better than before when he had German language lessons with Milo, and he has a strange feeling that he would understand other languages of Europe, as Milo had said that Atlantis were originated within the Ancient World, and olden languages into modern languages, it's like the Tower of Babel.

Steve narrowed his eyes and went to bash and fight the few high-level Stormtroopers with his fist or the shield, dodging their shots, throwing them left and right through the damaged windows or over the railing of the bridge, until he is now alone with the General who held his pistol at Steve, spittle flying out as he snarled, "What are you?!".

Steve gave a small smirk. "Steve Rogers, US Army...", he said proudly. "And I have to assume that you're not Schmidt... you don't really resemble the man that Erskine described.".

"I am Obergruppenführer Werner Reinhardt, head of operations for HYDRA.", Reinhardt said as Steve huffed, "Pity... guess Schmidt's too scared to do his dirty work then. Oh well, dealing with you will still be quite the blow to his band of madmen.".

Reinhardt sneered, "Big words coming from an American!", shooting at Steve, but Steve was too quick, dodging or using the shield to cover himself as he came closer, and Reinhardt shouted in pain as a deflected bullet hit him just narrowly in the side.

He snarled, realizing that his pistol ran out, throwing it to the side, and shouted, "Fight me like a man without that abomination in my face!", glaring at the shield, and Steve smirked, "I thought you'd never ask, German scum.", moving the shield to the side under an intact window, hung on the railing within the bridge wall, stretching his arms to raise his fists.

The two of them fought; of course, the fight was much more one sided than the one between Peggy and Helga, Steve obviously had the greatest advantage with things, thanks to his new form. Reinhardt was still nothing but a man, but he wasn't entirely outmatched. He still was able to put in a few good hits on Steve, but there were more minor blows than truly devastating hits.

Then Steve felt the bridge shaking and looked back to see the first gondola half destroyed, and Reinhardt screamed, "No, not my Zeppelin! That's it!", before jumping at Steve, and they rolled around, tumbling as they traded punches and knee jabs, and then Steve found the weak spot in Reinhardt's side, kicking him off, causing Reinhardt to yell out in pain, clutching to himself.

"Steve!", Peggy's voice called out, and Steve looked out to see Peggy and Audrey on their Ketak, and Peggy shouted, "Throw the shield so I can signal Milo!".

Steve nodded, grabbing the shield, and bashed a window, throwing it to Peggy, making an excellent catch, and Audrey moved the Ketak to go into the sunlight part, with Peggy flashing the shield to be seen by Milo, and Steve smiled proudly before hearing a manic scream, "You're going to die, freak!", and looked over to see Reinhardt holding a wrecked, jagged railing part of the bridge, running at him.

Despite Steve's change, he was pretty sure that even that would probably be dangerous if not fatal if Reinhardt impaled him with it. Steve rolled out of the way just in time... only to catch the railing in the face as Reinhardt quickly went from a bayonet charge to swinging pipe. Steve groaned at the ringing headache he suddenly felt as Reinhardt charged once again.

Steve, this time, just barely avoided the stab and grabbed the metal, getting into a tug of war with the HYDRA general. The two of them fought hard, even Steve was impressed with how Reinhardt was able to keep Steve from quickly disarming him.

Outside with the fighting, one of the Henschel had gotten onto the tail of one of the Atlanteans, shooting him with machine gun fire but unable to break the shields still. And while the biplane was shooting, Sia and Jacques's Ketak soon flew in behind him and Sia fired at the Henschel as the trio went into a turn. The whole right half of the wing was blown off, causing the biplane into a death turn... and spiraling right towards the bridge of the Grabacr.

The Henschel Stormtrooper screamed, "SHHIIITTT!", and then the last thing he knew was pain and fire and darkness as he was killed instantly, with his biplane slamming into the bridge of the Grabacr, destroying it into a fireball, piercing more of the zeppelin fabric, tilting the Grabacr further, slowing it down, leaving the only surviving gondola, with Rourke shouting orders at the pilots.

Steve saw the biplane coming, and with a twist of the metal into Reinhardt's chest by a combination of an arm punch, a leg kick, and finally, with a slam into Reinhardt's head, Steve fled just in time to jump into the door of the remaining gondola, barely glancing to see Reinhardt screaming in horror and shock as he fell into the falling mangled bridge of a fireball, ingulfed soon before nothing was heard from him ever again.

He heard Sia's voice, "Steve!", and he saw Jacques and Sia's Ketak, as Jacques shouted, "Jump! I think Milo is going to slam into the zeppelin!", and Steve jumped into their Ketak, as he saw Milo's Ketak coming from behind, to the side rudder on the left as the Grabcr has been tilting to the right thanks to the destroyed first gondola and the bridge.

"What is that crazy son of a gun thinking?", Steve asked as Jacques chuckled, "Not sure, but I think that he probably had a plan...".

"Okay, Milo... not really much of a plan...", Milo said to himself as he was focused on the Grabacr a few moments before; he watched the fighter spin out and crash into the bridge; the whole zeppelin was already on its death throes with how much fire and destruction had happened.

All he knew is that he needs Kida and his baby to be safe, and if that means slowing down more of the Grabacr while tilting it back into balance, as he doesn't know if the container would stay intact if it fell into the side or such, and of course, he will never thank Peggy enough for flashing the signal with Steve's shield, gesturing to the left middle of the remaining gondola, realizing that's where the loading doors are below, and that means Kida is inside near the loading doors, near the left middle of the gondola.

He prayed to the Kings of the Past, "Please, let this work.", while still unknowing of the Atlantean energy flowing through him, and then braced himself as he drove at the left rudder, destroying the fans, turning slightly down as it sliced through more of the zeppelin fabric, slicing and slamming into the left side of the gondola, Milo jumping off into the loading areas, as the Ketak emerged into the left side of the head of the gondola, killing off half of the pilots, and out, with wind and fire and glass flying, with like barely 3/4s of the gondola still hanging on, yet the Grabcr became a bit more balanced now, yet decreasing speed a bit faster, but being a huge zeppelin, it takes a long time for air to run out.

Milo panted, "Good so far.", getting to his feet, looking around before he saw the blue glow of the small window of the human-sized steel container in the distance, "Kida!", starting to run.

Milo started running right towards it, unaware that someone had managed to survive his Ketak's suicide run when he suddenly felt a real hard pain in his back as someone from behind struck him and he fell to the floor.

"Well, I have to hand it to you, Thatch...", Milo rolled over to see that Rourke had managed to survive, "You're a bigger pain in the neck than I would've ever thought possible!".

Milo glared at him, "Rourke! At least I'm fighting for my city, my new people, and my family, unlike you, selfish bastard!", getting up and moved to punch him in the face, using the few beloved memories of Kida's favorite fighting techniques, but he wasn't quite like Kida, not a soldier or warrior, but he still is trying, for he can't afford to be afraid.

Of course, Rourke obviously had him quite outmatched as he merely caught Milo's fist, and then punched him in the face. Milo knew immediately that he was in serious trouble unless Rourke could be taken down. Milo got up and moved as fast as he could towards Kida. "Running away already, are we?", Rourke taunted.

Milo narrowed his eyes as he tried to search for the control panels for the bottom loading doors, knowing that he has to get Kida out of there, and found them, pushed the lever down, hearing the slight rumbling sound of the loading doors opening before he shouted, ducking his head just in time when an axe came out of nowhere, slicing into the control panel.

"Ah, rats! Hold still, Thatch! You are not going anywhere!", Rourke snarled, and Milo ran, searching for any long guns, boards, anything, as Rourke worked to wrench the axe out of the control panel, unknowing that the others saw the loading doors opening, with Sweet shouting, "The bottom's opening up, it must be Milo! But it's not coming down fast enough!".

Jacques cursed, "Shit! The fire is not building up big enough to get that damn zeppelin down!", and Packard replied, "What about a flare gun?", and Jacques looked over in shock to see Packard holding a camera and taking out a flare gun out of her bag on her and Cookie's Ketak.

"I am not going to ask.", Jacques deadpanned, and called out, "Throw it over here! I am an expert shooter with those things!". Packard tossed him the flare gun as he got it primed and ready to fire. "You got a good shot?", Sweet asked Jacques.

"Just a moment...", Jacques said, lining it up, searching for the perfect spot. Milo ducked down again as Rourke swung his axe once more. Milo's attempt to find anything was fruitless as Rourke quickly freed his axe, "You're really done a bang-up job screwing things up, Thatch...".

"Why, thank you!", Milo taunted. "At least if I don't make it, you certainly won't either!", he said as he took cover near Kida's container.

"There will be other ways out... another ship can come and pick us up... this time with much nicer goods...", Rourke huffed as he swung again and smashed the glass on Kida's container.

Milo gasped in shock and concern, but was relieved as the end of the axe was used, and he grabbed the wood of the ax, pulling it from Rourke as Rourke wrestled it back to himself, "You are damn stubborn!", before noticing that the window of Kida's container was sparking up, and grabbed a piece of glowing blue glass, and went to slice at Milo's arm, causing him to shout in pain, letting go from the wood of the axe.

Meanwhile, Jacques locked on the largest rip in the zeppelin's fabric, and took a deep breath, and squeezed the trigger hard, and the flare shot up fast and high, making it into the rip, and hit through three gasbags, creating a series of explosions to the rest of the gasbags inside the blimp, and the zeppelin then soon burst up into an inferno inside out, slamming into the first inferno of the fire from behind.

"Nice shot...", Sweet told him as Jacques smirked. "Good luck for them trying to get away now...", he said. "What about Milo and Kida?", Sia asked as Jacques's stomach turned, "Shit... we need to fly in close, now!".

Milo was in terrible pain as he never felt such a deep cut before. Sure, he had scraps when he was a kid, and those minor cuts when Kida healed him, but this...He clutched his arm, seeing blood swelling over as Rourke taunted, "You're so weak, Thatch!".

Then Milo widened his eyes as his cut turned crystal blue, sparking through and at his crystal, and he shouted as there was a crystal-blue flash that lasted for a minute, blinding Rourke, feeling his bones grow, his eyes glowing in blue momentarily, and heard the same echo of Atlantean voices in his ears, and smelling the scent of Kida's wonderful hair, yet he wasn't in pain, as it was somehow electrifying in a smoothing way.

And then the minute finished, with the flash disappearing away, leaving Milo to pant in surprise, seeing a Atlantean tattoo from his shoulder to elbow on his left arm, his arms somehow a bit muscled and stronger and fuller, like the rest of him, and his clothes fit him a bit snugger, and his eyes, he can see way better, with the prescription of the glasses somehow refitted to him, his skin even more healthier in a way, and he's even a tad taller too, yet his hair remained dirty blonde, and his eyes a warm brown.

Rourke stared at him, "What the fuck?!", before Milo narrowed his eyes, and went into warrior mode, somehow more flawless, and grabbed the axe as a weapon, somehow like Kida, overtaking Rourke in his surprise.

"How... how is this...?", Rourke asked as they fought once more; with Milo suddenly putting up a much more spirited fight. "I don't know...", Milo admitted. "But I'm not worried about that right now...".

The two of them had their grip hard on the handle of the axe before an explosion rocked them both and caused the axe to fall out of their hands and fall to the volcanic floor before. Now once again, it was coming down to fists as Rourke took a swing, but this time, Milo was the one to catch the fist.

Milo spat, "Take this, Rourke!", punching Rourke in the face with his other fist as he was shocked to see Milo stronger than he was, and Milo then swept his leg under Rourke, causing him to fall back into a crate, breaking it into pieces, groaning, clutching his head, and narrowed his eyes as he got back up to fight Milo, encasing him after a tumble, smirking, "Still not big enough to throw me over the bars, Thatch!", throwing him over.

But Milo caught the outside bar of the railing, and used Kida's memories as he swung back, and as he did, the Grubcr rocked violently, causing Rourke to try to catch his balance, but he didn't see Milo's feet coming as he shoved Rourke back into the front of the damaged gondola, into the consoles with gasoline firedrops leaking from top of the gondola, from the zeppelin, sparking the exposed cords, and the last thing Rourke knew was an explosion, instantly killed, with a final scream of death.

Milo ran to the container, "Hold on, Kida!", unlocking the chains from the floor, and pushed the container as it slides, holding into the back handles of the container, going straight to the partially stuck open loading doors, praying that they are close enough to survive a fall to the volcanic floor as he can feel the whole thing getting down fast.

"Oh, please... I hope this works...", Milo said as the container busted right through the doors and hit the ground not too far below. "Milo!", he heard Sia's voice call out. "Don't worry, I got her!", he shouted back.

Milo then pushed the container, seeing that he is still in the range of the falling zeppelin, using the container as a sled down a steep volcanic hill, making it in time to reach the bottom of the hill, as the zeppelin crashed with an echoing explosion.

Checking that the container is still intact, he was relieved to see that Kida is safe as if the container is within a crystallized covered up bubble inside, as the crew's Ketaks landed, with Steve shouting, "Milo! Whoa, you...you...".

Milo responded, "Questions later, Steve! We gotta get Kida back home!", just before they froze, seeing cracks and feeling vicious shakes in the volcanic floor, and Mole replied, "The volcano, she awakes!".

"That probably was our bad...", Jacques admitted. "A whole exploding and burning zeppelin...", as he grimaced.

"Is there anything we can do to stop it?", Audrey quickly asked as everyone looked to Milo, "Kida... we've got to get her back now, it's our only chance!".

Steve nodded, "Right!", helping him prop up the container with the chains that has been flailing around since Milo freed the container from the gondola floor, throwing it to the strongest Katak, "Catch!", as Jacques caught the chain, looping it around the back of his and Sia's Ketak, with Steve interlocking the chains together around the container.

Steve then jumped into Peggy and Audrey's Ketak as Milo was helped up into Jacques and Sia's Ketak, and the Ketaks then took off before the top loop of the container broke. Milo shouted, "Stop!", as he climbed and swung back into the chain. He isn't going to lose his mate and baby, goddamn it!
