in a six-man tag team match, where they were defeated by Gedo (wrestler), Gedo, Jado and Mephisto. The following night, Atlantis defeated Euforia (wrestler), Euforia in a singles match. During the third and final night, Atlantis teamed with IWGP Heavyweight Championship, IWGP Heavyweight Champion Hiroshi Tanahashi and IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship, IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion Fergal Devitt, Prince Devitt to defeat Euforia, Kazuchika Okada and Mephisto in a six-man tag team main event. In early 2013 the long-running feud between Atlantis and Último Guerrero came to the forefront of CMLL booking once more. The two were booked for the 2013 ''CMLL Torneo Nacional de Parejas Increibles (2013), Torneo Nacional de Parejas Increibles'' tournament, forcing the two rivals to team up. Before their qualifying round both Atlantis and Gurrero stated that they would put their differences aside for the sake of the tournament. Atlantis and Guerrero displayed the teamwork they had developed by being partners in ''Los Guerreros de la Atlantida'' for several years as they defeated the teams of Valiente (wrestler), Valiente and Pólvora, Diamante Azul and Euforia and finally Dragón Rojo Jr. and Niebla Roja to qualify for the finals of the tournament. The finals took place as part of the 2013 ''Homenaje a Dos Leyendas (2013), Homenaje a Dos Leyendas'' show and saw La Sombra and Volador Jr. win the match and the tournament. Following the loss a frustrated Atlantis attacked Último Guerrero and tore his mask apart. Atlantis subsequently made a ''Luchas de Apuestas'' challenge to Último Guerrero that was not immediately accepted. The two rivals officially signed the contrat for the mask vs. mask match on March 21, but did not announce an actual date for the match. At the same press conference it was announced that CMLL would commemorate Atlantis' 30 year anniversary as a wrestler with a special ''Super Viernes'' show on May 3. Atlantis was teamed up with Hombre Bala Jr. for the 2013 ''Gran Alternativa 2013, Gran Alternativa'', the son of Hombre Bala that Atlantis unmasked in 1986. The team competed in Block A of the tournament on April 12, 2013. The duo defeated Akuma (luchador), Akuma and Mephisto in the first round, Taurus (wrestler), Taurus and Averno in the second round and Guerrero Negro Jr. and Último Guerrero in the semi-finals to earn a spot in the finals. The finals took place on April 26, 2013 during the Arena Mexico 57th Anniversary Show and saw Boby Zavala and Rey Escorpión defeat Hombre Bala Jr. and Atlantis, two falls to one to win the 2013 ''Gran Alternativa'' tournament. During the celebration of Atlantis' 30th anniversary as a wrestler Guerrero appeared after a match to berate Atlantis, which turned out to be a distraction for the real Último Guerrero to attack Atlantis from behind. The two identically dressed Guerreros proceeded to beat up Atlantis and tear his mask apart. Following the match Último Guerrero introduced his brother "Gran Guerrero". The much anticipated and hyped Mask vs. Mask match between Atlantis and Último Guerrero at the 80th Anniversary Show on September 13 never came to fruition as the two were defeated in a ''Relevos Suicidas'' match by La Sombra and Volador Jr., who instead advanced to the ''Lucha de Apuestas'' against each other. On March 21, 2014, Atlantis won the ''CMLL Torneo Nacional de Parejas Increibles (2014), Torneo Nacional de Parejas Increibles'' for the fourth time, this time teaming with Euforia. On June 20, Atlantis won the Leyenda de Azul#2014, 2014 Leyenda de Azul, scoring the last elimination over Último Guerrero. Atlantis defeated arch rival Último Guerrero in a ''Luchas de Apuestas'' match, in the main event of the CMLL 81st Anniversary Show. After the match Guerrero was forced to unmask as per the stipulation. In January 2015, Atlantis returned to Japan to take part in the ''Fantastica Mania 2015'' tour, during which he and Máscara Dorada won the Fantastica Mania 2015 Tag Tournament. On April 26, 2015, ''Los Reyes de la Atlantida'' won the Mexican National Trios Championship for a record-breaking third time by defeating ''La Peste Negra'' (El Felino, Mr. Niebla and Negro Casas). On August 9, 2015 ''Los Reyes de la Atlantida'' lost the Mexican National Trios Championship to ''Los Hijos del Averno, Los Hijos del Infierno'' ("The Sons of the Inferno"; Ephesto, Mephisto and Hooligan (wrestler), Lucifierno), ending their third reign as champions. 15 days later, on August 24, Atlantis defeated Mephisto to win the Mexican National Light Heavyweight Championship. Over the summer of 2015 ''Los Ingobernables'' started to wrestle against ''tecnico'' teams instead of generally facing ''rudo'' teams as they had been up to that point. In August 2015 ''Los Ingobernables'' found themselves facing off against Atlantis on multiple occasions, often with La Sombra going out of his way to attack Atlantis, tearing Atlantis' mask apart during matches to show his disdain for the veteran ''tecnico''. On August 19, 2015 CMLL held a press conference where they announced that the winner of the main event of the 80th Anniversary, La Sombra, would put his mask on the line against the winner of the main event of the 81st Anniversary Show, Atlantis, in the main event of CMLL's 82nd Anniversary Show on September 18, 2015. The match saw Atlantis defeat La Sombra, two falls to one, forcing La Sombra to unmask. Since he was the reigning Mexican National Light Heavyweight Championship Atlantis participated in the CMLL Universal Championship (2015), 2015 Universal Championship tournament, which he won, defeating Último Guerrero in the finals on October 16. On January 1, 2016 CMLL held a major show called ''Sin Piedad (2016), Sin Piedad'' ("No Mercy") where Atlantis teamed up with Marco Corleone, and Valiente, losing to ''Los Revolucionarios del Terror'' (Dragón Rojo Jr., Pólvora, and Thunder (luchador), Thunder). He also participated in the Fantastica Mania 2016 tour of Japan, where most nights he was part of the losing side against ''Los Ingobernables de Japón'' (Tetsuya Naito, Tetsuya Bushi, Bushi and Takaaki Watanabe, Evil).
