Atlantis is not my property, it belongs to their respective creators.

Without more to say we begin ...

Chap.2. Gatherings.

In the Majestic City of Atlantis, you could appreciate these six years that have passed in the City. Since now of being one without knowledge of his past, living in ruins and pretending that everything was fine. Now everything was totally different, since now almost the repairs were almost complete, every day they learned more about their ancestors and the fantastic creatures that were on the verge of extinction, have been produced to prevent their extinction.

But for now, we focus on the lava rivers that flow calmly from the bottom of the City limits, where the waterfalls of the border of the City of Atlantis were located, we can hear how a slight buzzing sound is heard from the bottom , to quickly witness who was doing it.

The noise was caused by a flying Atlantean vehicle, which was shaped like a small fish. And who was riding on him, was Queen Kida Nedakh or better known as Kida, she currently wore her Queen's robe.

We see how she masterfully drove her vehicle through the lava rivers, and while she flew, the lava geysers begin to shoot around her, but she doesn't worry, quite the opposite, she began to enjoy it, she already began to miss the sensation of emotion. After all, being Queen entails great responsibilities, responsibilities that she now had that took away all her time. While piloting, several creatures the size of a blue-skinned whale, six legs with three fingers each and a whale-like head, began to emerge from the lava, but were not aggressive, but began to swim through the Lava, to the great delight of Kida.

Kida drives faster forward, where other creatures were swimming in the lava, but now the difference is that they were of a smaller size, it was more than obvious that they were their youthful form. One of the creatures seeing Kida swims to the side of the lava river and leaves it before shaking off some of the lava that was still on him. Once the lava was no longer in his body, he began barking at Kida as a way to get his attention.

Upon witnessing it, Kida let out a laugh, then descended to where the creature was, once it landed beside him, Kida looked at him with appreciation.

¨Obby, hurry up we must return to the throne room¨, she said to the creature, before the aforementioned named Obby jumped on the flying fish, and put herself comfortably behind Kida.

Once Obby settled down, Kida resumed the flight. She begins to maneuver through the clouds that formed by the steam that produced the water from the waterfalls by touching the lava river. Kida begins to rise by the married, and once finished, I arrive at what were the giant statues of the Atlantean Guardians, the same who have protected Atlantis and its inhabitants from all threats, and recently, to protect them caused by the awakening of the volcano produced by the people of the Surface.

Kida goes through two large statues, each of which holds a large plate, one of which shines with blue lines while a fire burns on the plate. Standing at the head of the second statue, two Atlanteans use ropes to lower a large carved stone from a nose instead of the statue's face. While they do this, a woman was sitting in a larger flying vehicle and guides them before using her crystal necklace to seal it with a flash of blue light. The light then goes out before the contour of the nose along with the eyes of the statues and other carved lines begin to shine.

Kida continues her tour of the City, where she happily greets all the inhabitants. Like several children who are on a terrace next to a couple of men who are carving symbols and lines on stone pillars. Then it goes through the market that has not only expanded, but is also thriving as never seen before. Then Kida goes through another terrace, where a woman was teaching how to read runes and Atlantean symbols to many children and not so surprisingly, to some adults. When Kida saw that, she was not surprised, after all, her story had been lost for many years, and they were slowly recovering it.

Then Kida flies by other Atlanteans, who, seeing her, greet her with joy.

¨Good morning, Queen Kida¨.

¨Good morning and be careful¨, Kida answered as she smiled and corresponded to the greeting. And before he went to the Temple, he saw how the Heart of Atlantis shone and was on top of the City. Kida takes flight and gets close enough to the Heart to see it. He observed with respect and carefully the stones that floated around the Heart, since the faces of the Kings and Queens of Atlantis of the past were carved. But Kida looks at one precisely, since that stone was sculpted the one that had her father's face. As he watched her, he kept thinking if he was doing the right thing. She perfectly remembers that her father decided to hide the Heart of Atlantis, to avoid suffering another catastrophe like the one that happened millennia ago and to hide it from those who only think of power and use it as a weapon for war ... people like Rourke. But she decided that such a need to be shared, understood by all. What I always thought if I was doing the right thing.

After several minutes, where Kida was reflecting and thinking, she descended to the direction of the temple, after all, the love of her life awaited her.

Inside the main palace, more precise, in the throne room. Milo was watching two Atlanteans flying with their vehicles and with the help of some ropes, they began to lift the head of the broken statue from the water. Now he had some Atlantean robes, but the big difference it showed was that he had a tattoo on his left shoulder, which was shaped like a sun. The tattoo covered most of the shoulder, as it reached the middle of his shoulder and part of the arm.

While still watching the two men begin to raise their heads high enough to be on top of the statue, while gently placing their head in their rightful place before flying, for the next reconstruction.

Milo hears the palace door open and close. He turns around, then smiles to see who arrived. Who arrived was Kida who looked at the statue while smiling.

¨I'm glad to see how the Old King will never have to shed tears anymore¨, Kida mentioned happily and approached Milo.

But before I could answer him, Obby suddenly appeared and when he saw Milo, he ran happily to him, as he began to bark. Obby throws himself at Milo, knocking him down and begins to affectionately lick Milo's face.

¨Obby !, I'm also happy to see you !, but you're drooling me friend, have more respect¨, Milo declared while receiving Obby licks. Once I heard it, the aforementioned moved to let Milo get up.

"I never thought that the reconstruction of Atlantis would move so fast," Kida said, still marveling at everything they have accomplished these six years.

¨In spite of having existed for thousands of years before the sinking of Atlantis, I feel that we have only discovered a fraction of what the Heart of Atlantis can teach us¨, Milo said while looking at his crystal that hung on his neck. And Milo was going to keep talking, but Kida wrapped him in her arms around his neck, leaving them both facing each other.

¨And all this would not be possible without¨, mentioning Kida lovingly.

¨No, it's not for much¨, Milo said with sorrow.

¨Of course, it is, and not only that. But I also thank you for helping me to know what true Love is¨, Kida mentioned in a whisper before closing her eyes and connecting them with Milo's. What he quickly reciprocated the kiss.

For both of them, they could stay that way for the rest of the day, but they both listened like little barks that combined with groans, both of them were taken out of their romantic moment.

Milo and Kida turned down where the noise came from, who was Obby standing on his hind legs with a pleading look in his eyes.

¨Haha, okay friend, but only one rock¨, declared Milo, before pulling a small rock between his robe towards Obby. He nods, before he showed great happiness on his face, and then took out his long tongue, since he stretched like a chameleon, grabbed the rock with the aforementioned and ate it. Obby ate happily, before swallowing it and seeing the two with pleading eyes, it seems he wanted more.

¨If it continues, you will only become a plump lava dog, maybe we should go on a diet¨, Milo declared amused. But Obby suddenly changed his playful and cheerful personality, to show anger, as he zeroed his eyes and began to growl. That caused both Milo and Kida to miss each other.

¨What happens Obby?¨, Kida asked confused and worried. But before Obby can do something or Milo say something, the palace doors open and a council member runs frantically, it shows in his expression that he was worried. And behind the aforementioned, he had two palace guards.

"Queen Kida! Intruders are approaching the city!", He expressed fearfully and pointed outside the palace. What made Milo and Kida look confused and serious at the same time.

After only a few minutes, outside under the large steps leading to the Palace, a large crowd gathered around. Many citizens were frightened by who the invaders were, but several warriors began preparing to begin a battle if necessary.

Kida and Milo also arrived, where while Milo took out some binoculars that he kept to see who they were, Kida was giving instructions to his warriors.

¨They are coming through the lava tunnels. Where is the captain? I want them to start flying and knocking them down before they get here!¨, Kida exclaimed to his guards.

¨Hope they are not intruders! ... They are friends!¨, Milo exclaimed with a smile as he sees several familiar faces through the binoculars. Kida confused, asks for the binoculars, once she has them, go through them and when she recognizes them, she showed a big smile on Kida's face.

¨Queen Kida !, we are ready to repel this new threat!¨, said an Atlantean firmly and behind him were the other Atlantean warriors.

¨Do not do anything, do not worry !, They are friends!¨, Kida exclaimed to his people, to avoid altering citizens and that their men do not commit madness. These relaxed a little by the words of his Queen, but others, not so much ...

Those who began to arrive at the City of Atlantis, were the members of the expedition of the surface of the same city. They were driving and arriving in small planes that were driven by large propellers in the back and above to keep it in the air. Each plane was driven and there were two members of the surface. Once the surface members observed the city of Atlantis. Everyone marveled at the sight, as they watched her more majestic compared to the six they had passed.

¨Oh! It's beautiful Vinny!¨, Mole exclaimed as he watched the city to his travel companion.

¨Yes ... it's amazing what a paint and glue hand can do¨, Vynni replied with his tone and humor that characterizes him.

Everyone began to land quietly in the same place where all the Atlanteans had gathered. Once the Atlanteans observed better who arrived, the citizens relaxed and the guards lowered their weapons, since they recognized perfectly the same people who have been honored in the Atlantis records, for having saved them.

Milo ran quickly to greet his friends, and as the vehicle where Sweet and Audrey arrived was the closest to him, he went to meet them first.

¨Sweet, Audrey, what a pleasant surprise, what are you doing here?¨, Milo said while extending his hand to help Audrey get out of the vehicle.

¨We only come to see if you have not caused any disaster¨, she replied mockingly, while accepting his help. Once she got off, they both gave each other a little hug, but before Audrey let go, Milo pulled her again.

"Two for moving," Milo replied amused, which Audrey would hug him again. While they both received that show of affection, the others were being received by several more Atlanteans.

¨Uh, he, thank you very much¨, Sweet replied with sorrow, while some Atlanteans put a bouquet of flowers on his neck.

¨I wish I was not allergic¨, he said nervously, since since he did not recognize the flowers, it was obvious that he did not know what they could have.

¨Hello, and who will be my guide for the City?¨, Packard asked the two Atlantean guards who helped him get off his plane.

¨Oh, choose me¨, one of them replied kindly.

¨No, choose me¨, said the other quickly. Quickly a small discussion formed between them to know who the guide will be.

¨Enough, enough, both are cute. We will all go¨, Packard interrupted both of them and began to walk towards the City. What both began to walk behind her and very happy.

¨Be welcome¨, three girls announced at the same time to Vinny, Cookie and Mole, while they put some branches to the three mentioned.

¨Oh thank you very much, and as a gift, have this. A sample of my secret recipe¨, Cookie said as he gave an Atlantean a bottle.

"Oh what an honor," he said as he bowed his thanks, and quickly brought a portion to his mouth. But within a few seconds, he collapsed on the ground.

¨How curious, last time I watched as a man slip out of food, there was a Bom, and no more Chinese laundry¨, Vinny said a little funny, while he and Cookie were heading to greet Milo and Kida. While Mole stayed with the three girls.

¨Oh, lol, excuse me mademoiselle¨, Mole said as he approached the ear of an Atlantean and began to whisper a few words. But a few seconds later, the Atlantean and her friends, having heard those words, were outraged and now her eyes showed anger.

¨Hey really, they don't know how much I miss them¨, Milo said happily to his friends. And before they continued with their talk, everyone watched as Mole ran for his life, since he was being chased by the Atlantean girls.

¨He will be…?¨

"Neglect, you're used to it, just like us," Sweet Sweet said, as she shrugged.

¨It's not that I complain, but what are they doing here? Did something happen to Mr. Whitmore?¨, Milo asked now worried, since he began to fear that the person who was a great friend of his grandfather and who financed the expedition to Atalntis something bad happened to him.

¨Why don't you ask him?¨, Audrey answered amusedly as he signaled to another vehicle.

¨Milo ...¨, whispered Kida shocked by the person she could think of who it was. But Milo recognized it perfectly.

¨Mr. Whitmore?!¨, exclaimed Milo shocked and excited to see him in person.

¨Not only I'm fine !, but also that crystal of yours, makes me feel as if I were twenty years old again¨, he replied, while greeting him and with a great jump he got out of the vehicle. Although Milo by inertia caught him on the ground, to avoid getting hurt.

¨Je, although the truth, I'm still old¨, expressed Mr. Whitmore amused, while Milo smiled happily to see him.

¨And you must be Princess Kida, although of course, she is now Queen Kida. I am ...¨, he greeted Kida respectfully and extended his hand. But before he also formally introduced himself, Kida hugged him with great force and affection.

¨Without a doubt you are Mr. Whitmore. I have no words to express all my gratitude for having brought Milo into my life and for having my people reborn again¨, Kida expressed with much gratitude in her voice and separated from him.

But before Kida expressed his gratitude to him again or Milo said something, the three watched as Mole crawled on the floor asking for help, before he was pulled by the Atlantean girls, which he began to ask for help.

¨He, I hope that with that I learn not to mess with a lady¨, I express a voice in a touch of mockery. Milo and Kida turned to the direction where it came from and what they saw left them surprised. Since arms crossed and reloaded in the same vehicle that Mr. Whitmore arrived, Helga was. For them, they did not expect to see the same woman who was Rourke's right hand, but who, at the same time, who mysteriously and surprisingly survived his fractures that he had by Rourke's actions.

Helga also did not know what to say to the people who forgave her, but she also felt that she did not deserve to return to Atlantis, but because of Mr. Whitmore's great insistence that she accompany her, I accept. Although he did not like to come by leaving the little girl alone who took an immense love.

Only, Helga bowed respectfully to Kida and Milo in greeting.

¨¨Ejem¨ I think it would be better to enter to be better aware of it¨, said Mr. Whitmore quickly. What Milo and Kida answered the good man with a smile.

¨Is right. We go inside where they can eat the most exquisite dishes that Atlantis can offer them¨, Kida said as she began to walk down the stairs, followed by everyone else. Although yes, Helga was a little more withdrawn than the others ...

¨Oh, I doubt they can compare to my dishes, right guys?¨, Cookie said proudly, which everyone answered hardly yes.

But before they walked on the stairs, Obby stepped between their feet. It is noteworthy that all members were surprised to see the strange creature, since they did not remember seeing it when they arrived years ago. Then Obby began to smell something in the air, and detected a new smell, apart from strangers, that came from Mr. Whitmore and Helga's vehicle, which began to bark, drawing everyone's attention.

¨What's up friend?¨, Milo asked confused, to see that he was still barking at the vehicle. Helga missed, since she didn't remember that they had things inside. She approached the vehicle carefully, while she drew her gun to be prepared for any kind of danger.

Once close enough, she opened a small hatch and a few seconds from there, left ...

¨MOLLY?!¨, Whitmore and Helga exclaimed with surprise and disbelief when they saw the little girl. Although that too, Milo, Kida and the other members leave them surprised to see her.

¨He, hello everyone¨, Molly greeted nervously as she raised her hand a little to greet everyone nervously.
