They were shot out of the hole. Once on their feet, they climbed a set of steps, allowing them to see the entire valley. Below them, the ground started to rise, and fly in a circle. The temple collapsed, and every piece of stone and rock, flew in circle. They others ducked, afraid of getting hit. In the center, there was a UFO.

Soon, there was a flash of light, and it was gone. The pieces of stone and rock hung in the air for a moment, before crashing back down. The water from the river entered the valley, and flooded it. Covering up any trace of the valley.

"Like a broom to their footprints," Oxley said, staring at the now flooded valley.

"Where did they go?" Indy asked him. "Space?"

"Not into space," Oxley answered, staring at the sky. "The space between spaces."

"Why this legend of a city of gold?" Mutt asked.

"The Ugha word for 'gold' means treasure," Indy told him. "But their treasure wasn't gold."

"Knowledge was their treasure," Jack said, which Indy nodded.

Indy sat down, and gestured for Marion to sit with him. Sitting down, she hugged him, and he put his arm around her.

"We're just going to sit here?" Mutt asked them, as Jack sat down beside Oxley.

"Night falls quick in the jungle, kid," Indy told him. "You don't want to climb down the mountain in the dark."

"I can," Mutt replied, began to walk down the stairs. "Who's coming with me?"

"Come on, Mutt," Jack spoke, exhausted from the journey.

"Why don't you stick around, Junior?" Indy said to his son.

Mutt gave a small chuckle, before turning around.

"I don't know," he replied. "Why didn't you, Dad?"

They all smiled. Ox looked at Indy confused.

"Dad?" He asked.

"Somewhere," Indy said. "Your grandpa is laughing."

Two weeks later

As a reward for stopping Spalko, Indy got his job back. His friend, Charlie, became dean of the college again. He even appointed Indy as Associate Dean. Just like Indy said, Mutt went back to finish school. Jack was excused for the days she was absent, and still got to learn from Indy. Today, was the wedding.

"Henry Jones, Jr.," the priest spoke. "And Marion Ravenwood, insomuch in that you two have agreed to live together in holy matrimony, have promised your love for each other by these vows, the joining of your hands and the giving of these rings, I now declare you to be husband and wife."

In the church with their family and friends, Indy and Marion were getting married. Mutt standing behind Indy, and Jack behind Marion.

"Whom God hath put together, let no one tear asunder. Congratulations," the priest finished. "You may kiss your bride."

Marion pushed her bouquet into the priest's chest, and wrapped her arms around Indy, kissing him. Everyone stood up, and clapped. They married couple pulled away, and had big smiles on their faces. Marion took Indy's arm, and began to walk down from the alter. Indy pulled Mutt to him, and Marion gestured to Jack, with their arms intwined, they walked down the alter.

"Well done, Henry," Oxley said.

"Thanks Ox," father and son replied together.

Mutt walked away to get the camera. As he wound it up, the doors blew open. The wind blew Indy's hat off the coat rack, and it landed at Mutt's feet. He picked it up, and stared at it. He was about to put it on, but Indy walked by with Marion, and grabbed it. Everyone began to file out of the church.

Jack walked up to her brother.

"How are you?" She asked him.

"Fine, why?" He replied.

"When mom first told us, you weren't very happy by it," Jack told him.

"I just didn't want to believe it," he said, taking out his comb, and fixing his hair.

"How does it feel having your teacher as your dad?" He asked, grabbing his leather coat.

"A bit weird," she answered, as they began to walk out of the church. "But I won't have trouble getting used to it."

Mutt shook his head, and slung his arm around her shoulder.

"Of course you won't," he said, smiling.

She lightly elbowed him in the stomach, smiling as well.

After years of growing up without a father, their family was finally complete.
