"I think we ditched them," Panthera said.

"For now. Those things have a lot of damn teeth" Blu Tembo said.

"Yeah, they do" Cat Noir sat up.

"They have to be those loyal to the shark holder to evolve. They can breathe air but I don't understand. Sharks can't breathe on land. They'll die" Panthera said.

"Yeah, but these are half man and half shark," Blu Tembo said.

"It also means the center of Atlantis is close," Ladybug said.

"Yeah, Princess" Cat Noir held her hand.

"I hope they are friendly. I don't like bullies" Panthera said.

"Me too," Blu Tembo said.

"Shh.....you hear that? It's sound like wind" Ladybug said.

"I'm hearing it too," Cat Noir said.

"And waterfall?" Panthera hears it.

They all stepped out to see a huge air pocket area, with the capital of Atlantis standing in the middle of the landmass that was spared from the catastrophe. Huge waterfalls fall into the lava trench below, creating large steam clouds.

"Milda Makter!" Blu Tembo exclaimed.

"It's beautiful," Ladybug said.

"Wow, it's just like with the dinosaurs," Panthera said.

"I got to hand it to your kwami, Kitty. We really came through to find it" Ladybug said to Cat Noir.

"Indeed Milady, we did it" Cat Noir held her hand.

"How is it possible?" Blu Tembo asked.

"Must be the work of Poseidon" Cat Noir said.

"Maybe. But why did the sea god choose to save them?" Panthera asked.

"I wonder that too," Cat Noir said.

Nearby, some human Atlanteans appeared behind them.

"Ay! Maldita sea!" Panthera bared her claws, not wanting to do that out of reflex.

"Jösses!" Blu Tembo gasped.

The Atlanteans pointed their spears at the four heroes.

"It's that Cat!"

"The ears and tail! The same ring from Black Nemean!"

"He's very young!"

"Speak!" The young warrior points his spear at Cat Noir.

"Uh....Meow?" Cat Noir uttered nervously.

"Don't hurt him!" Ladybug gets offensive.

"Step aside, girl!" The young warrior warned her.

"Lower your weapons! We already know what happened to Atlantis! Our gatito....uhh.....our cat is not your enemy!" Panthera said.

"If this is about what Black Nemean did, it wasn't his fault!" Blu Tembo said.

"Black Nemean brought bad luck by bringing that box! You four are coming with us to the King!" The leader said.

"Plagg didn't mean to sink Atlantis! He has been carrying this burden for centuries! Don't make him feel guilty for it!" Cat Noir begged.

"You're coming with us still!" They forced them to walk across the bridge with them.

Panthera snarled but Cat Noir stopped her, "Don't. Just do what they say" He said.
