Atlantis: Milo's Return

---

8000 years ago,

Atlantis sank beneath the ocean.

The great crystal,

the source of its power,

was hidden beneath the city.

Robbed of the heart of Atlantis,

my people seemed doomed

to slow extinction.

But now we are reborn.

Obby, hurry.

We must get back to the throne room.

Hold on.

Once again the heart of Atlantis

shines upon us,

healing us, making us strong.

We are using the power of the crystal

to rebuild our city,

and to restore our culture to greatness.

Under the light of the great crystal,

my people are thriving again.

We have uncovered secrets

lost for thousands of years.

The city is once again a center

of knowledge and learning

instead of a place

of ignorance and fear.

- Good day, Queen Kida.

- Good day and be careful.

My father thought it better

to hide the crystal

rather than risk the misuse of its power.

As queen, I can only hope

I am doing the right thing.

How fitting.

The old king need never

shed tears again.

Obby. Obby. All right. Come on.

Show a little respect here.

I never thought the rebuilding

of Atlantis would move so quickly.

I think we only understand a fraction

of what the crystal can teach us.

Well, I know that none of it

would be possible without you.

Okay, one rock.

You know, you're getting

to look like one chubby lava dog.

What is it, Obby? What is wrong?

Queen Kida.

There are intruders

approaching the city.

Oh, my God.

They're coming through the lava tubes.

Where is the patrol captain?

I want them met with fliers.

Wait. They're not intruders.

They're friends.

Oh, it is beautiful.

Yeah. It's amazing what a little paint

and spackle will do.

Audrey, what are you guys doing here?

Just making sure you aren't

making a mess of things down here.

- Come here.

- Hey.

Ah, two for flinching.

Why, thank you.

I hope my hay fever doesn't kick up.

Hello.

So, who wants to show me

around the city?

Oh, let me. I will do it.

- No, I saw her first.

- No, no. Me, me.

Boys, boys, you're both pretty.

We'll all go.

Mesdemoiselles.

Jeez, I missed you guys.

But why are you here?

Is Mr. Whitmore okay?

Why don't you ask him yourself?

- Milo.

- Mr. Whitmore!

Not only am I okay,

but this crystal of yours

makes me feel 20 years younger.

Of course,

that still leaves me pretty old.

And this must be Princess Kida,

although, I guess,

it would be Queen Kida now.

And you must be Mr. Whitmore.

Thank you. You brought Milo to me

and made all this possible.

Come. Let us go inside

where you can have something to eat.

I guess your decision to stay here

wasn't as hard as I thought.

Save my life!

- You must try some of this.

- Delicious.

- It's great to see you all again.

- Magnifique.

- Trust me, this is great.

- Not bad.

Pepper sauce.

Never leave home without it.

Puts a little giddy-up in every meal.

Also makes a fine paint remover.

Uh, Sweet, I think this food just moved.

Then you better eat it quick

before it gets away.

Besides, when it's alive,

you don't have to swallow so hard.

Just point them head first

so they know which way to crawl.

Your grandfather would be

proud of you, Milo.

You not only discovered a lost empire,

you probably saved the world

from Rourke's plans for the crystal.

And now you're helping

restore Atlantis to its former glory.

That's quite a rsum

for a cartographer.

I just wish he could be here

to see all this,

and to meet Kida.

Uh...

Yeah, well, it's great to see

everybody together again.

But something tells me

it's not just for a little reunion.

Uh, I'm afraid you're right.

There's trouble on the surface.

I already had my doctor, digger,

demolition expert, mechanic.

Each the top of their field.

But I came here for the one expert

I didn't have,

an expert on Atlantis.

But why would you need a...

Several cargo ships have gone down

in the north Atlantic.

The survivors say it was a sea monster.

We thought it might be the watchdog

at your front door.

The Leviathan?

Right. That's one big sea monster.

In the water,

that's the last thing you wanna see.

Except, maybe,

my Aunt Rose in a swimsuit.

Sweet woman, but very large-boned.

I'm glad it knew

we were friends this time.

But there could be others out there.

My father had many

such machines created.

He used the magic and science

of the crystal

to expand the borders of Atlantis.

That war nearly destroyed the world.

Well, it looks like his war

may not be over.

Then Milo and I will go with you

to the surface and end it.

Kida, you can't.

I mean, you're the queen.

The city repairs are well under way.

The counselors can handle

the everyday matters.

And I feel responsible

for what my father did.

I want to understand his decision.

And I am afraid the answers

are not in Atlantis.

Ugh, I feel bad.

You finally get to the surface

and it's so cloudy,

there's nothing to see.

Everything in your world is new to me.

The sky, the clouds,

everything on the ship.

- What is this?

- That's a life preserver.

So you wear it and it preserves your life,

like our crystals?

No, no.

You throw it to someone in the water.

Oh, so it is a game?

No. You only throw it

if someone is drowning.

Does that not make it hard

for them to play the game?

Two weeks we crisscross

the North Sea and get nothing.

No squids, no jellyfish

and no lobster from Atlantis.

We have to be sure, Vinny.

What if raising the crystal

brought this Leviathan to life?

This could all be the fault of Atlantis.

I'd worry more about how we fight it

than who's to blame.

Last time we shot at the Leviathan,

these things didn't even tickle it.

Eh, Audrey, if you keep hitting that thing

we're gonna be "tickled"

all over these walls.

Yeah, yeah. Like I don't know that.

Well, careful. Doc Sweet's not here

to glue us back together.

This time it's my special blend.

I start with a batter

of gelatinous nitroglycerine,

dribble it on a shaped charge of TNT,

and top it with just

a dusting of black powder

and oregano.

You can't make a bomb

without oregano.

It makes a very nice "boom."

Let the lobster chew on that.

You know, I really don't think

it is a Leviathan.

The survivor called it the Kraken,

a legendary Norwegian sea monster

with arms a quarter mile long.

Nothing like what we saw in Atlantis.

But Atlantean inventors always base

their designs on real animals.

Like the giant squid.

It may not be a Leviathan,

but it could still be

an Atlantean war machine.

She is right.

No creature of flesh and blood

can bring down a steel cargo ship.

Something's got the ship!

It's ripping open the launch doors.

My cheese!

You can have it.

Get to the sub pods.

Vinny, we're gonna need that thing

out of the way.

Coming up, extra oregano.

Launch when ready.

Next time, chili powder.

Uh-oh.

That doesn't sound good.

It's pulling them down

on the starboard side.

Where's Milo and Kida?

I didn't see them launch.

Milo, are you there? Kida?

Come on, come on. Back-up batteries.

Time to back-up.
