Part 24: NEW ZEALAND

Vanzilla 2.0 was in Jet Mode and we were flying over Australia.

I saw Lily reading a cool book.

Me: What's that book you're reading Lily?

Lily: I found it in Iceland a while back. It's all very interesting.

I look at the book and it was a familiar book.

Me: (Gasp) I know that book. That's the legendary Shepherd's Journal.

Lily: What's this book for J.D.?

Me: It's said to be the key to finding the lost continent of Atlantis.

Lincoln: Lily that is so cool. I've seen that book in the movie Atlantis: The Lost Empire from 2001. It was so awesome.

Me: That's one of my favorite movies.

Brittney: I know Atlantis dad. 10,000 years ago Atlantis sunk into the Atlantic Ocean because of a sudden cataclysmic event.

Me: It was either a meteor impact, a huge megatsunami or a volcanic eruption that did it.

Brittney: That's right dad. Atlantis was said to be home to an advanced civilization that possessed technology that was far beyond our own today.

Lily: That's right Brittney. It says here that it had a powerful source of power that is so powerful that makes all of our current power sources looks like wind up toys in comparison.

Natilee: That's what I've heard.

Lily: Here it is.

Lily turned a page and it showed the power source. It was a powerful crystal that is the life force of Atlantis. It can cause the people of Atlantis to live for thousands of years.

Me: The Crystal of Atlantis. It's incredible.

Natilee: How is it that you can understand the Atlantean Language, Lily? It's been lost to us for almost 10,000 years.

Lily: I don't know Natilee. I just know it somehow.

Varie: It must be a hidden talent.

Lily: It must be.

Nicole: We're here guys. Welcome to New Zealand.

Argent: New Zealand. My old home.

Lana: I didn't know you were from New Zealand, Argent.

Argent: Yes. New Zealand was my home for a while before I came to America.

Starfire: That's amazing.

We landed in Northern New Zealand and we arrived at the sight of Ngauruhoe Volcano.

Linka: What Volcano is this one?

Nicole: This is Mount Ngauruhoe. It's New Zealand's most famous volcano and it was used as the sight for Mount Doom in the Lord of The Rings Movie Trilogy from 2001 to 2003.

Lola: I saw those movies and that volcano was scary.

Lisa: Affirmative. That volcano in those films was a scary sight to behold.

Me: That's right. I call that volcano the Mountain of The Devil. It's not only where the Dark Lord Sauron created the One Ring but it's also where the power of the Netherworld comes from.

Lori: I saw all three of those movies and that volcano was literally scary.

Leni: Totes but they were amazing.

Luna: They sure were dudes.

Luan: They sure had an amazing Ring. (Laughs to Rimshot) Get it?

We all laugh.

Me: (Laughs) Good one Luan.

Eddy: (Laughs) That was funny.

Naruto: Argent if I may ask how did you get your powers?

Argent: I am actually a hybrid. I'm half Human half H'San Natall.

Shanan: I know of the H'San Natall. They were the most the dangerous warrior race in the universe. They were totally bent on conquering the Universe wherever they can. They were destroyed by the Teen Titans.

Robin: That's right Shanan. The H'San Natall were our most dangerous enemies.

Argent: Yes. But I am nothing like my alien people. I wanted to help the people of Earth instead of destroying it.

Me: That's good Argent. I'm glad.

Varie: What's that "A" shape mark on your chest? Is it a scar or a tattoo?

Argent: Oh. It's a tattoo. It's my name initial.

Varie: Oh I understand.

Later we went to Fiordland National Park in South New Zealand and it was beautiful.

Argent: Fiordland National Park. It's everything I've read about.

Zoe: It's beautiful.

Hercules: It sure is.

Cody: It's like Glacier National Park in Montana.

Me: That's almost what it is Cody. This is Milford Sound. One of the most beautiful places in the world.

Naruto: It's beautiful.

Sakura: It sure is.

We walked all over New Zealand and saw lots of attractions, landscapes, and more.

We went to our next destination.
