Heart of Atlantis

**The Heart of Atlantis** is an object from *Atlantis: The Lost Empire*. It is a giant powerful crystal which is used by the people of Atlantis and which has had its shards used as necklaces and mobile power sources by them. In return the heart requires being absorbed by Atlanteans of royal blood to sustain its own energy, often in times of great turmoil for the city.

## History

The Heart of Atlantis was a fractured part of a meteorite which landed on Earth around 100,000 BC on the continent of Atlantis, west of Africa in the Atlantic Ocean. It would be used as a power-source by the Atlanteans who used it to create technology which would rival that of the present day and fragmented crystals of it would be worn by Atlanteans which allowed them to connect with their technology and live for thousands of years.

Around6586 BC, Atlantis' King Kashekim Nedakh desired to use the Heart as a weapon comparable to an atomic bomb. During an accidental weapons discharge in Atlantis' harbour, the continent would be flooded and sunk to the bottom of the sea. The Heart of Atlantis would claim the king's wife to fuel itself to save to nation and allowing the city to survive. The light caused by the heart while doing this would blind King Nadakh and after the sinking he'd destroy all records of the heart and hide it under his palace in an attempt to prevent another disaster.

In 1914, the Milo Expedition was launched to find Atlantis with its mercenary crew intending on stealing the heart and sell it to the highest bidder with one potential buyer being Keiser Wilhelm II, the emperor of Germany at the time. At this time, the heart chose the king's daughter Kida as a host and she would subsequently be kidnapped by the crew. The Atlanteans and rebelled members of the crew lead by Milo Thatch who were not intending to let the city die used Atlantean technology to reclaim Kida and causing the crystal to choose the evil Lt. Rourke as a host instead. Due to not being of Atlantean royal blood, Rourke was quickly and painfully killed by the crystal after being transformed into a crystalline monster himself.

With Kida installed as Queen after her father's death at the hands of Rourke she would decide not to hide the Heart of Atlantis but rather restore it and educate her people on how to use it wisely. From this she brought upon a new Atlantean renaissance with the Heart being placed overhead of Atlantis.

## Background

Onawa was an indigenous American woman who lived near Big Thunder Mountain with her family. When she was a young girl, her tribe was attacked by a group of white settlers and pushed them out of the area, killing many of them in the process. Barnabas T. Bullion picked her up and took her back to Rainbow Ridge, where he and his wife Marybeth brought her up and made her a maid. She resented that life and everything that Bullion represented. She bided her time, believing that Big Thunder would do him in for his greed.

Eventually, Onawa became a part of a bandit gang, with two men called Dolfo and Chandler. She was the group’s sniper, hanging back and shooting at their adversaries, though she wasn’t allowed to kill them. When Abigail Bullion became involved, she was distrustful of her. At first, it was because she was Bullion’s daughter, but when she joined them, Onawa didn’t understand how she could have been so willing to rob her father.

Growing tired of waiting for them to 'wear him down', she took matters into her own hands and took Barnabas down to the mines, planning on trapping him down there with an explosive. After that plan goes awry, she helps him and the rest of the miners escape. When George Willikers was grabbed by Big Thunder and tried to take Barnabas with him, she kicked him off, realizing that he was the one the spirit really wanted. However, she was killed by a gunshot from him, as he went down, and fell to her death.

After her death, her spirit became one with Big Thunder, bringing the mine train to life as it rode away into the mountain.

Prof. Philip Brainard

Brainard as he appeared in Flubber

**Prof. Brainard** is a character from the  *The Absent-Minded Professor* where he first appeared as **Prof. Ned Brainard** and the film's 1997 remake *Flubber* as **Prof. Philip Brainard**.

## History

Prof. Philip Brainard is an absent-minded genius scientist who works as a professor at Medfield College in Massachusetts while also being a member of the Imagination Institute. To assist him, he created the, "Flying Lab Assistant Robot" Weebo though it came to harbour romantic feelings for him and envy for his fiancee Dr. Sara Jean Reynolds. The creation of Weebo resulted in him having been given the, "Inventor of the Year" award for the 97th annual Inventor of the Year ceremony held by the Imagination Institute.

Philip's relationship with Sara Jean would be called off however due to his forgetting their wedding rehearsal due to being caught up in his work. Due to this, Philip devoted himself to his work while attempting to develop a new experimental energy source. Demand for this new energy source was intensified due to millionaire Chester Hoenicker attempting to shut down Medfield.

Eventually, Philip invented a sentient, gravity-defying goop which he called *Flubber* (a portmanteau of *Flying Rubber*). This lead to him being able to develop flying cars to sell to *Ford Motors,* making him enemies who Weebo assisted him in overcoming at the cost of her life. Philip would go on to get back together with Reynolds and the two created a robotic daughter in the vain of Weebo with blueprints designed by Weebo and which they named Weebette.

Due to his invention of Flubber, Prof. Brainard was once again awarded to status of the, "Inventor of the Year" by the Imagination Institute. Brainard would be given offices within their EPCOT base of the Imagination! Pavilion where he would commemorate Weebo further and also bring his flubber.

Mystic Point (colony)

## Description

### Features

* Mystic Manor

* Garden of Wonders
* Explorers Club Restaurant
* The Archive Shop

### Wildlife

#### Fauna

* **Giant Spiders**: Mystic Point is home to abnormally large spiders, significantly larger larger than the *Goliath Birdeaters* which are the largest spiders known to still be living. Also uniquely, these spiders spin webs to catch their prey which most large spiders (such as the Goliath Birdeater) do not do, rather using their webs to make burrows where they will drag their prey to feed.
* **Monkeys**: Mystic Point seems to be home to small monkeys, possible of the Capuchin species or a relative of them. This is unique as there are no native species of monkey found within Papua New Guinea. It is possible that monkeys are not native to Mystic Point and Albert got there by other means, but as much is unknown.

## History

Lord Henry Mystic first came to the area on an insect collecting expedition. After rescuing a young monkey from the web of an unusually large spider, Henry Mystic adopted the little fellow and named him Albert.

The two would go on many adventures and eventually establish a home and adventure base in the jungle, known as Mystic Point. Opening to the public on January 1, 1896, the grounds of the estate and the museum at Mystic Manor would become a prominent place for the Society of Explorers and Adventurers to share their collections with the world.

Whether the Narrator was present for the elevator incident is unknown however he would observe it with omniscience and at navigate the event as it occurred while transcribing what had yet to happen.

In 1994 the Hollywood Tower Hotel was reopened to the public despite the hotel being haunted, having elements from the 5th Dimension (and potentially other realities it has effected) leak through it and for unknown reasons, the unnatural seeming bellhops of the hotel are fixated on sending mortals to the 5th dimension.
