Prologue
Milo James Tatch grew up with his grandfathers stories about the lost city of Atlantis. Believing it is more then just a legend. But not many share his belief and even in the archaeological circles he's considered a nutcase.

But one day, Helga Katrina Sinclair appeared who took him to see her employer: Preston B. Whitmore. An old friend of Milo's grandfather. Who hands him over, the Shepherd's Journal. Milo deciphers it's secrets and finds the way to Atlantis.

Together with a group of specialists, they board the spaceship Ulysses under the command of Lyle Tiberius Rourke and set out to the stars.
But the course brought the ship along an uncharted asteroid belt. Before it could be averted, the ship had already sustained to much damage and the crew evacuated. The escape pods scattered and landed on several worlds. Our hero's must now find each other again to continue with the mission.
And perhaps, they can find some help along the way.

Episode 1: Scattered
Things are not looking well for the members of the Atlantis expedition. Already they have endured a great setback in both manpower and supplies. That much became instantly clear when they emerged from the escape pods. Luckily in all the places they landed, they could count on the help given to them by noble strangers.

In the night ridden Traverse Town, we find Helga, Milo and Mole with a small group of soldiers. The female lieutenant was now facing a difficult task as the highest ranking officer. It was a relieve to learn that the persons approaching the wreckage's arrived to help them.
Persons like Mikhail Rutherford, Jack Styx, Maxwell Tendas and the wise Merlin.
But to their dismay, the rogue Organization member Marluxia also appeared with the intention of helping these people. Or is he hiding a different agenda?
The hostility between the Nobody and them remained only at words, for now.
A plan was quickly decided by the assertiveness of Max. Both Mikhail and himself volunteered to attempt a rescue mission for the pod that landed in the Third District.
Helga would lead the rescue mission to the Second District herself, escorted by the unlikely union of Merlin and Marluxia.
Jack nobly skipped this chance of heroïcs to remain with Milo and Mole as their guide and protector.

Meanwhile, on the picturesque place of Twilight Town, a similar scenery could be witnessed. Appearing from the debris and rubble were Audrey, Sweet and Wilhelmina. Who we're quickly aided by Bolt the superdog, Nyra and the recently returned Roxas. For now, his connection to Organization XIII remains hidden.
Together all three assisted to the best of their abilities. But even with all this help, it became impossible to save everybody.
While doctor Sweet tended to the wounded as best he could, Audrey rallied the remaining spectators like Goofy, Seth and Chopsuey to either help or stay out of the way.
Some pods still had to be accounted for.

The same problem raised with the group that got stuck in the Great Maw of Radiant Garden. Here too the senior members of the expedition, Commander Rourke, Vinny and Cookie, could count on the support given to them by Rose, Saxen, Atlantace, Basch von Ronsenburg, Ravian, Arlan and Splodyhead.
The group worked hard in trying to get as many escape pods open and located.

But unbeknown to them, others had formed interested in the many crash sites. Darkness was slowly creeping toward them. For none of the Ulysses crew had ever encountered a Heartless before, let alone even posses any knowledge about them.
An ignorance that will be rectified... soon

Episode 2: First Contact

While still scavenging all that remains of the expedition, our heroes are hit hard by a dose of reality. Turning their quest to find Atlantis into a struggle to survive.

On Radiant Garden the recovery of the men and healing of the injuries accelerated thanks to Arlan and Basch. The time had come to consider the next step to take. For nighttime was upon them. The good Samaritans that helped out Rourke and his men now had time to properly introduce themselves and offer their services and others means of helping the Ulysses out.
As Basch offered his Gummi ship for temporary shelter and Rose advertising her engineering qualities. Things seemed to be looked up now.

On Twilight Town, the tide was turning as the unique abilities of the volunteers caused the rescue to progress better then everybody hoped for. While some used their powers to free trapped soldiers from their hazardous situations, others aided in acquiring resources and supplies to heal the wounded. Chaos started to transform into constructive activities.
In this beehive of activity, the arrival of Zexion remained unnoticed to most. But certainly not for Roxas.

Things were going well, until none other then the malevolent Seed appeared. His lust for carnage and death quickly led to the brutal and painful execution of one of the soldiers. His display quickly alarmed the others that drew their weapons and focused their attention on this threat.
The tension builds as the provocative Heartless displays his power to the anxious bystanders.
But for what Seed did not know was that hiding among the soldiers of the Ulysses, was the covert Lumaria. Who had infiltrated the expedition to claim the Heart of Atlantis for his own. Now that his cover was endangered by the ruthless actions of Seed. Lumaria desperately tried to defuse the situation while this was still possible. Claiming that the killed men was a psychopath who stabbed his fellow mercenaries. Lumaria's chances of convincing the others were slim.

Finally in Traverse Town, Milo was left alone conversing with Jack. Jack explained to the linguist about the Heartless. But as Milo at first did not believe in the sincerity of Jack's explanation, he was quickly proved wrong as Heartless Shadows appeared in the normally safe area of the zero district.
Jack quickly needed to defend both Milo and Mole before their hearts were taken. From the shadows, the genetic monster 627 was lurking. He had been observing them for a while, and now with the Heartless the red creature decided to make himself known. Acting as if he is just a normal dog, 627 sided with Jack in the battle.

The rescue attempts in the more dangerous district is proving far more difficult then anyone ever expected. In the third district, Mikhail and Maxwell found the pod to be already overwhelmed by Heartless. If it wasn't for the presence of Sir Lucas, who had arrived in time, the men had been consumed for sure. As Sir Lucas could barely stand any longer to the horde, more help arrived in the form of Axel. Who is dressed in his superhero alter ego known as The Shark.
While Mikhail an Max are trying to cut a path so that the men could escape. Sir Lucas and The Shark did their best to keep the countless of Heartless at bay.

The Heartless even showed up in greater numbers in the second district. Even with the power of Marluxia and Merlin, it took them much effort to secure the pod and its occupants.
Helga now got to know the Heartless first hand by battling them.
Ari the magician was staying in the hotel in the second district. Leaping from his balcony, he joined the fray and sided with the rescue party. The large mass of Heartless were dealt with quickly and things were going easy... to easy.

While trying to make it back to the first district. The path then became blocked by a giant Heartless. The upper body of a humanoid on the lower body of a large snake. The powerful King Salamand.

Heartless have revealed themselves. The Atlantis expedition has been thrown in the deep and is desperately trying to keep their heads above the water. Will they survive the onslaught or perish?

Episode 3: Escalation

The mighty Heartless, King Salamand, prohibited the group to venture back to the first district. Merlin and Marluxia seemed determent to oppose this powerful fiend. But Helga Sinclair could not risk the safety of her men, and resolutely decided for them to head for the Third District instead. No matter what they would find there, it couldn't be worse then this.
Joined by the bounty hunter Nadia Verdansky, Helga, Ari and the rescued men of the escape pod ran to the door that lead to the Third District.

But the Third District was no safer for them. For there they ran into the fight that was already raging. The protectors Mikhail, Maxwell, Axel and Lucas were still fighting a large horde of Heartless to secure the men of the escape pod that crashed down here. With a more vulnerable group entering the district, the Heartless focused their attention on them.
It allowed the group of the Third District to escape to the First District. As the four fighters joined the newcomers and tried desperately to cut them a path.
Things were threatening to go out of control and out of hand as not only a large Heartless Behemoth but also a Darkside appeared in the Third District.

Meanwhile in the Zero District, we find Jack and 627 still fighting the Heartless that spawned there. The intervention of the ancient Nobody Jason Arlari ended the last of them. Keeping his true self hidden, he joins the expedition as the men, Milo, Mole, Jack and 627 march out of the Zero District. And set up camp in the First District.
There they were quickly joined by the first group of men that escaped the Third District. Reunited at once but the fate of their lieutenant remained unclear.

In Twilight Town, the tension remains with the presence of Seed. Seth offers his trust to him in return for a favor, a way to another world. Seed opened the corridors of darkness for him, but the dark portal was to much of a gamble for Seth, as he declined.
Nyra stayed close to Audrey at all times as she helped carrying the stabbed men of the pod to doctor Sweet. Together with Roxas his help, all were brought in time to be cured by the large sack of potions that Bolt had acquired.
Unnerved Nyra wanted to know more of the expedition's origin. An answer Audrey had to make a range check for, as her time and attention was now needed for more important matters.

Lumaria secretly revealed himself to Seed by use of his power over sound. Seed however reacted in a manner not to his liking and a bickering started over the two. Seed continuously insinuating that Lumaria, who was under the alias of Jacob, was a traitor. The member of the Dark XII his cover was hanging on by a thread.
Zexion who was arguing with Roxas also addressed Seed as he brought up their shared power of illusions. To demonstrate his point, Zexion casually created the illusion of the gigantic Twilight Thorn at the bottom of Sunset Terrace. Even with Seed and Zexion knowing it was an illusion, it looked very real to the rest of them.

Bolt immediately attacked the illusion with his laser beams, the soldiers that were capable formed a barrier with their rifles at the ready. And a slight panic washed over the people on the top.


With the thread in Twilight Town being only an illusion, it was not the case in the large canyon outside Radiant Garden.
As Rourke was managing his men and coördinating the offered help. The group was alerted to the coming of a massive group of Heartless. Moving closer to them through the canyon like a stampede. The multitude of the Heartless threat was mind boggling.
Atlantace immediately shouted his advice to Rourke in how to deal with this situation. Taking on his role of commander in his own homeworld. However this was not his homeworld. And Arlan then gave Rourke a different advice to Rourke and his men.
Saxen and Rose moved to the wreckages of the pods as they planned to make a shelter for the men. The best idea they could come up with. The tsunami of Heartless was rolling in closer on the people. Would they survive?
