Apokolips
July 5, 00:16 UTC
The Warworld reached the planet Apokolips, it land was as black as ash, its water as red as blood and many fire pits that could be seen from space.
Vandal Savage exited through a Boom tube to a hallway, walks past Desaad and G. Gordon Godfrey and walked over towards the edge of a balcony to meet with a tall, shadowed figure.
They shook hands.
"Business as usual," Savage said.

Gotham City
October 31, 21:27 EDT
Robin was perched on a building roof top looking down at a warehouse. He then raised a hand to his ear and pressed down on his com.
"Delta team in position," He asked.
"Ready, for you signal," Wonder Girls voice said.
"Go!" He said.
Inside the building a tall thin man dressed as a scarecrow was mixing chemicals. Then suddenly he heard an explosion behind him.
The moment he turned around he got kicked in the face sending him to one side of the room. He shook his head, looked at his attack and saw Robin.
"Why if it isn't, the Boy Wonder," The guy said.
"You surprised to see me Scarecrow?" Robin asked.
"Not at all," Scarecrow said and grabbed a nearby scythe. "But I am surprised that you're here alone."
"Who said I was alone," Robin said.
Suddenly two thirsts came out of the wall behind him. He turned around just as the wall broke apart and floating there was sixteen old girl with blond hair wearing a blue uniform with a familiar red-and-yellow "S" shield on her chest, red skirt, red boots and a red cape.
Scarecrow tried to run to the door, but a green barrier blocked it. He looked up and saw another hole and floating there was a fifteen year old boy with dark brown hair wearing a Green Lantern and a green mask uniform and floating next to him was Wonder Girl.
Scarecrow pulled out a vile that contained his Fear gas, but before he could throw it an arrow came out of nowhere and hit him in the chest. Suddenly foam covered him leaving only his head untouched. He looked up and saw a fifteen old girl blond girl wearing Artemis' costume.
"Nice shot, Arrowette," The Green Lantern said.
"Huh, he made it easy for me," Arrowette said.
"Delta Squared to Watchtower was a success," Robin said over the radio.
"Nice work Delta. Return to the Watchtower. Oracle out," Batgirl's voice said over the radio
The Watchtower
October 31, 20:33 EST
At the Watchtower the ex-Batgirl was looking at a G. Gordon Godfrey news report on a holo-screen.
"I tell you folks we are getting invaded my aliens on a daily bases," Godfrey said. Then the screen behind him showed a picture of Supergirl flying over Metropolis. "It would seem that the great Justice League has been hiding another secret from the humans below their feet. How many more secrets are they hiding from the real humans?"
Recognise Robin B20, Wonder Girl B21, Supergirl B27, Green Lantern B28, Arrowette B29
"Welcome back guys," Oracle said.
"It's nice to back, Barbara," Green Lantern said.
Robin then noticed G. Gordon Godfrey on the holo-screen and an image of Supergirl.
"Godfrey at it again I see," Robin said.
"Got that right," Oracle said.
"He doesn't let up, does he?" Wonder Girl said.
"I'm sorry guys," Supergirl said.
"Hey, it's not your fault Kara. I mean you've only been on Earth for two months and someone's got to protect Metropolis while Superman is off world," Arrowette said placing a hand on her shoulder.
"Speaking of the Supers, how much longer until Alpha Squared gets back?" Robin asked.
"Alpha Squared is already returning from Mars. They should be back here in about two to three weeks," Oracle said.
"I hope Superboy likes me," Supergirl said.
"Superboy may not give out a good first impression, but I'm sure he will," Aqualad said entering the room.
"Thanks, Kaldur," Supergirl said smiling.
"Okay, Beta Squared you can go home. You've done great work," Aqualad said.
Smiling Beta Squared went their separate ways leaving Aqualad and Oracle behind.
Aqualad then turned to look at Oracle. "Something is bothering you isn't there," He said.
"I can't get anything pass you can I," Oracle said smiling. She then brought up the image of Supergirl from the news feed. "When Kara was flying over Metropolis at the time she was at mach speed. Which means it would have been impossible to take a picture of Kara."
"So how did he get a picture of her?" Aqualad asked.
"Good question," Oracle said. She then showed pictures of Apokoliptan weapons. "And then there are these. According to Superboy's report on the Forever People, Intergang had made a pact with Desaad. But the League of Shadows and Bialyan soldiers have used them as well."
"Which maybe prove your theory that the Light had made a pact with Apokolips?" Aqualad said.
"Indeed and if they have they did it long before having partnerships with the Kroloteans and the Reach," Oracle said.
"So far, are investigations have only raised more questions than answers," Aqualad said.
"I have the Question helping me. If there is a missing link he can find it," Oracle said.
"Good keep me updated. Tomorrow, Blue Beetle, Green Lantern and I are heading to Atlantis to question the one person who might give us answers. Lagoon Boy is already down there," Aqualad said.
"You think he'll give you answers now. It's been two years since we brought him down," Oracle said.
"This time I'm not leaving without answers," Aqualad said.
"Just be careful, Kaldur'ahm," Aquaman's voice said. They turned around and saw Both Black Canary walking into the room. "He's not to be underestimated even imprisoned."
"Don't worry my King, we'll be careful," Aqualad said.
"So, Oracle what of Gamma Squad?" Black Canary asked.
"Blue Beetle and Static have reported in, their search led to a dead end," Oracle said.
"And what of Beta?" Aqualad asked.
"They should be reporting in soon," Oracle said.
Metropolis
October 31, 21:53 EDT
At LexCorp, Tigress, Kid Flash, Bumblebee, and Guardian were running down a corridor away from a robot with a piece of Kryptonite that was firing a beam at them.
"It took us nearly four months to get inside without getting detected and now we get attack by a heap of scrap metal," Bumblebee complained as she fired her stingers and Tigress fired her arrows.
"Tell me about. I'm so feeling the mode," Kid Flash said.
"Who is this guy?" Guardian asked as he blocked a Kryptonite beam with his shield.
Tigress then fired an explosive arrow from her crossbow at the ceiling. Most of the ceiling fell down and Kid Flash spun his arms around like a cyclone sending the falling ceiling at the robot.
"His name is Metallo, aka John Corben," Tigress said as they ran into a door. Once she shuttered it they ran down the stairs. "He's a cyborg that works with Luthor."
Then the door blow open and Metallo walked in. He looked down the staircase and saw them running down it. He was about to fire a Kryptonite beam, but Luthor called him on the radio.
"Metallo don't stop them. They got nothing important and they are more useful alive," Luthor's voice said.
"As you wish Mr. Luthor," Metallo said.
Once they got outside they ran down the nearest alley. Tigress then lifted her hand to her com-link.
"This Beta Team to Watchtower. I'm afraid we could find any proof. Luthor has wiped all proof of the Reach softdrink ever existed," Tigress said.
"Never mind Beta, you've did a good job," Oracle voice said.
"Thanks, Oracle," Tigress said.

November 1, 16:52 EST
Tigress was in the memorial garden and was looking at a hologram of Wally.
"I wish I knew him," A voice said behind her.
She turned around and saw Arrowette standing behind her. "Yeah, he was a good guy, annoying, but a good guy,"
"Are you sure it's alright to wear this costume, because it makes me feel uneasy," Arrowette said gesturing her costume.
"It was collecting dust, I'm glad that someone is using it," Tigress said smiling.
"You know I've never really thanked you for saving my dad six years ago," Arrowette said rubbing the back of her neck. "Not only that, but you inspired me to be a hero."
"Cissie that smile I saw on your face, was all the thanks I could ever want," Tigress said placing a hand on her should. "Besides your mother was a hero as well, if I recall."
"Only for a brief time," Arrowette said.
"Soooo, how do you like the Team so far?" Tigress asked as they walked away.
"It's the best," Arrowette cheered.
Poseidonis
November 1, 12:59 UTC-2
The Zeta-Beam transport tube activated.
Recognise Aqualad B02, Blue Beetle B22, Green Lantern Kyle Rayner B28
Once they exited the transport tube, Blue Beetle and Green Lantern looked around Poseidonis in amazement.
"So, this is the capital city of Atlantis," Green Lantern said as they swam. "It's amazing."
"Yeah, it's beautiful hermano," Blue Beetle said.
"It must be and your luck that both your armour and your ring life-support protects you from drowning and the pressure," Aqualad said.
"Yeah, I just have to hop there are not any pickpockets in the arena," Green Lantern joked.
"I suggest my friend that you'll watch what you saw," Aqualad said.
"Hey, I meant no offence," Green Lantern said.
"I know, but the young prince might not realise that," Aqualad said.
Green Lantern looked ahead of them and saw two figures ahead of them. One was Tempest and the other one was a five year old toddler with blond hair and blue eyes. He was wearing a yellow and green skin-tight swimsuit that exposes his arms and legs.
"Who's the kid?" Green Lantern asked.
"That's the young Prince Artur, the heir to the throne," Aqualad said. "And I suggest that you watch what you say he doesn't have much experience with people from the surface."
"Got ya," Green Lantern said.
They soon appeared them and Tempest swam up to Aqualad. "Kaldu my friend it's good to see you my friend," He said.
"It's good to see you as well Garth. The Team does miss you," Aqualad said placing a hand on Tempest's shoulder.
Tempest closed his eyes and lowered his head. "I'm still having a hard time dealing with loss of Tula," He said.
"I miss her too," Aqualad said taking a breath.
"It's a good thing that Scarab and your ring can translate Atlantean," Blue Beetle whispered to Green Lantern.
"Yeah, and it's handy when you go holiday abroad as well," Green Lantern joked.
"Uh, Kaldu who are they?" Prince Artur asked pointing at Blue Beetle and Green Lantern.
"Apologises my prince, these are friends of mine from the surface. Blue Beetle and Green Lantern," Aqualad said gesturing, Blue Beetle and Green Lantern.
"You must be the new Green Lantern," Tempest said stretching his hand out.
Green Lantern took his hand. "You can me Kyle," Green Lantern said shaking it.
"What are surface dwellers doing here and how can they even be down here?" Prince Artur asked.
"I detect hostility from the young Atlantean, Jaime Reyes," The Scarab said.
"Yeah, I got that to," Blue Beetle whispered.
"There to help me on my mission my prince," Aqualad explained.
"As for how we can survive down here, my scarab helps me to breathe and re-stand pressure," Blue Beetle said.
"And my ring has a life-support system," Green Lantern said.
"Why does my daddy allow this?" Prince Artur asked angrily.
"Artur!" An angry voice said. They looked around and saw Queen Mera swimming their way. "That's no way to speak to our guests."
"But, mummy—" Prince Artur complained.
"Not buts. Go to your room," Queen Mera ordered. Prince Artur grumbled as he swam away. Queen Mera then looked at Blue Beetle and Green Lantern. "I'm sorry if my son was disrespectful."
"There's no need for apologies your majesty," Blue Beetle said.
"But can you tell us why he hates people for the surface?" Green Lantern asked.
Queen Mera sighed and looked at the direction her son swam. "It's because my husband spends much time on the surface world and not enough with his son," She explained.
"I'm sure Aquaman has tried spending more time with the little guy," Green Lantern said.
"I have explained this to him so many times, but he just won't believe me," Queen Mera said.
"I'm sure he'll realise someday my Queen," Aqualad said.
Queen Mera smiled at him. "If you excuse me, I have to make sure that my son does what he has been told," She said and swam away.
Aqualad then looked at Tempest. "Garth if you wouldn't mind taking my teammates to the prison. I have to visit my parents," He said.
"Of course Kaldu," Tempest said.
Aqualad smiled and saw away.
Tempest then took Blue Beetle and Green Lantern away towards the prison.
"So Garth? Why haven't you re-joined the Team after the Reach invasion?" Green Lantern asked.
Tempest looked back and looked at with a sad look on his face. "Because I still haven't gotten over the loss of Tula," He answered.
"Yeah, I read about the file on Aquagirl, but it wasn't your fault," Green Lantern said.
"I know, but maybe if I stopped Klarion from destroying the Tablet of Destiny I could have saved her," Tempest said.
"Hermano, you don't know that for sure," Blue Beetle said.
"Blue's right. Just ask yourself this would Tula want you to sulk like this?" Green Lantern said.
Tempest didn't answer and just kept on swimming.
New York City
November 1, 17:34 EST
Godfrey was in his studio and was about introduce his guest star on his show.
"Now ladies and gentleman I have tonight a very special guest. Please welcome are new secretary general, Lex Luthor!" Godfrey yelled.
Lex Luthor then walked into the studio and people began to cheer as he sat down on a chair opposite Godfrey after shaking his hands.
"Thank you Mr Godfrey it's nice being here again," Luthor said.
"So, Mr Luthor what do you thing about the Justice League?" Godfrey asked.
"Well, I'll admit I'm not the League's biggest fan, but they do seem to be more trusting that those like the Reach. Even if they have alien members and hold back one or two secrets," Luthor said.
"But you have to admit that the League is part of the reason why we get so many aliens visitors," Godfrey pointed out.
"True. I haven't yet talked to the League's newest chairman Black Canary, but when I do get a chance we will talk about Earth's future," Luthor said.
"And what is your opinion on the newest members of the League, Blue Devil and the Question?" Godfrey asked.
"To be honest, I have no idea what to think. I mean we don't know if Blue Devil is alien or not," Luthor said.
"There you have it forks an honest answer from an honest man," Godfrey said.
On the Watchtower members of the League and the Team were watching the show.
"Honest my foot," Static said.
Static was wearing a new costume now. It was a blue coat with yellow inner lining and stripes on his coat sleeves, a black shirt with a golden lightning bolt symbol, black pants with a white mask, and yellow goggles.
"I know Virgil, but there's not a lot we can do," Oracle said.
"I agree with the kid, now they think I'm an alien," Blue Devil said annoyed.
"The question is what are we going to do?" The Question asked.
The Question was wearing a blue jacket which was over a navy blue suit and an orange shirt with a black tie around it. He also wore black trousers. He had black hair that was under a blue trilby hat. But the most noticeable thing was that he had no face.
"We'll just have to take it slow," Supergirl said as she stroked Wolf's far.
"It's a shame that Superman, Batman and the two John's are off world looking for the Collector." Green Lantern said.
"You mean Brainiac don't you Hal?" Tigress said.
"Same thing," Green Lantern said.
"They'll be back alone with Kandor," Wonder Women said.
"You really think he'll give it to them?" Supergirl asked.
"Brainiac said that he collected doomed worlds so he might give to him, but I just don't know Kara," Oracle said.
"Even still the chance are that we going to lose some public opinion," Green Lantern said.
"We help people no matter what they say about us," Wonder Women said.
"I know, Diana. I'm just saying it's going to make our job a lot hard for us if they don't trust us," Green Lantern reminded.
Poseidonis
November 1, 13:24 UTC-2
Tempest lead Blue Beetle and Green Lantern into Atlantis' underwater prison. It was carved into a undersea cliff and showed no sign of life.
They entered into a cave that leaded them to a corridor. The first thing Blue Beetle and Green Lantern noticed was that there was no water. The corridor looked like you would find in a castle dungeon.
"How come there's no water here?" Blue Beetle asked.
"So our captives don't use Hydrokinetics to bust out," Tempest explained as they walked through the corridor.
They soon came to a cell door that was guarded by two Atlantean guards each holding a trident. The moment they saw Blue Beetle and Green Lantern they pointed them at them.
"Stand down there with me," Tempest said. The guards lowered their tridents, but still gave them questionable looks. "We're here to the prisoner."
The guard nodded and began pressing a code on a keypad.
They could hear Lagoon Boy's voice from inside.
"Tell me, dam you!" He yelled.
"Sounds like La'gaan has started without us," Green Lantern said.
"He's been like that for the past 24 hours," One of the guards said.
"We haven't been able to get much sleep because of him," The other one said yawning to prove his point.
"So who are we seeing again? Black Manta?" Blue Beetle asked.
"No," Tempest said. The cell door then pointed and sitting in the dark with his hands and feet chained to the wall was Prince Orm. "Prince Orm or aka Ocean-Master."
He was sitting on a chair with a table in front of him and on the other side was Lagoon Boy slamming his fist on the table. Ocean-Master saw them first and looked in their direction.
"It's been a while Garth," Ocean-Master snared.
The three of them entered the cell and the door closed behind them.
"It's Tempest to you," Garth glared.
"Different name same whelp," Ocean-Master snorted.
Lagoon Boy turned to face them and smiled with relief. "It's good to see you guys," He said.
"Same here, hermano," Blur Beetle said.
"Hey, La'gaan," Tempest said putting a hand on his shoulder. "Why don't you get some sleep?"
"I don't need a nap," Lagoon Boy protested brushing his hand away.
"Listen, La'gaan the guards have said you've been up for 24 hours, I think you deserve 40 winks," Green Lantern said.
"Listen I don't need a nap!" Lagoon Boy yelled. He then yawned and everyone raised an eyebrow. "Fine, but only a short one."
He then opened the cell door and walked out. When the cell door closed everyone looked at Ocean-Master.
"I've read about him he was a founding member of the Light," Green Lantern said.
"I was until my disgrace," Ocean-Master said gesturing to his chains.
"Well you should have thought of that before trying to take over the kingdom," Tempest glared.
"The throne is rightfully mine and I won't have that pretender sitting there!" Ocean-Master yelled.
"Save it," Tempest said. He then walked closer to him. "You know why we're here."
"The same reason you always are," Ocean-Master guessed. "And just like the other times I don't know what the Light is planning. I've been kicked out for years I'm out of the loop."
"The one knows as Ocean-Master is lying, Jaime Reyes," The Scarab said.
"He's lying," Blue Beetle said.
"You better tell us the truth or I'll make life very miserable for you," Green Lantern said raising his fist. His ring glowed to prove his point.
"Ironic a Green Lantern and a Reach warrior working together," Ocean-Master chuckled. "And I'll be careful with what you do, because while I'm a prisoner I am still of royal blood and tires to the surface and Atlantis are close to being cut."
"They left you to rot and you're saying that you don't want some pay back," Green Lantern said.
"I'm more than happy to watch as you and the Justice League are destroyed and unwanted by the people you're trying to protect." Ocean-Master said smugly.
"I think we're done here," Tempest said.
They nodded and left the cell leaving a smug looking Ocean-Master.
Around the outskirts of Poseidonis, there were several hooded figures.
"We have waited for this day to come," One of the hooded figures. He had to be the leader. "For years we have been hiding and waited for the chance to free our noble leader." All the hooded figures cheered. "We the Atlantean Purists are real Atlanteans. We will rid ourselves with the impure."
"Down with the fish-heads!" The Atlantean Purists yelled.
"And will rid ourselves of the weakness of King Orin and put the true ruler of Atlantis on the throne Prince Orm!" The leader yelled.
The Atlantean Purists cheered once again.
In the city, the three heroes met up with Aqualad.
"So, did you enjoy yourself?" Blue Beetle asked.
"Yes, my parents were glad that I wasn't a traitor, but they were still a bit upset that I kept it a secret," Aqualad said. "So, did you find anything new from Ocean-Master?"
"No, but he does know something," Tempest said.
"And where's La'gaan?" Aqualad said noticing that someone in their party was missing.
"He's asleep at the moment," Tempest explained.
"He's been up all night trying to make Ocean-Master talk," Blue Beetle said.
"To all your will power to convince him to take a nap," Green Lantern said smiling at his little joke.
"Let's try again in an hour and this time I'll be with you," Aqualad said.
Then suddenly there was a huge explosion. They looked around and saw one of the buildings collapsing.
"I think that'll have to wait, hermano," Blue Beetle said.
Then they saw three hooded figures heading towards them. One of them fired an electrical blast straight at them.
"In coming!" Green Lantern yelled and created a shield around them.
He made it just in time as the blast struck the shield with a massive force.
Once Green Lantern lowered the shield, Aqualad pulled out his water-bearers and fired a jet of water straight at one of the hood figures. The water jet slammed into hood figure and slammed him into a wall.
The other two hood figures fired more electrical blasts at them, but Tempest and Blue Beetle swam up. Tempest created a tempest that pulled the two hood figures into it.
"I summon the power of the Tempest!" Tempest yelled.
The hood figures tried to swim out, but the current was to strong. Blue Beetle arms constructed into plasma cannons and he fired several shots at them knocking them out cold.
Once the battle was over Aqualad swam over to one of the hood figures and examined him.
"Who are these guys?" Blue Beetle asked.
"Atlantean Purists," Tempest answered with a great feeling of dread.
"And they would be?" Green Lantern asked.
"A much of Atlantean that think they are direct descendants of the real Atlanteans, whoever they are. They consider any Atlantean with inhuman attributes to be impure," Tempest explained.
"And we thought we saw the last of them when we captured their leader," Aqualad added.
"And let me guess their leader is—" Green Lantern said knowing the answer.
"Yes, their leader is Ocean-Master," Aqualad said.
"Caution Jaime Reyes, there's Atlantean Purists have magical attacks which we are weak against," The Scarab said.
"I got it," Blue Beetle said.
"Indeed, they'll try and free him," Aqualad said misunderstanding Blue Beetle's statement.
"But they might attack Queen Mera and Prince Artur," Tempest said.
"Then I suggest we split up, me and Green Lantern will had to the palace, while you and Blue Beetle had to Ocean-Master's cell," Aqualad said.
They nodded and swam in opposite directions.
Meanwhile in his cell, Ocean-Master had the explosions outside and smiled. He then heard noises outside his cell door.
"Stay where you are!" He heard a guard yell.
Seconds later there were sounds of electricity flying and then heard some thuds. The cell door opened and two Atlantean Purists stood there. One of them held his trident.
They then broke him free from his chains. Once he stood up they bowed and said "Master."
Then the Atlantean Purists presented him with his trident. Ocean-Master smiled and took it. "What was the delay of my freedom," He demanded.
"Our apologies master, but it took us some time to regroup and rebuild our forces," One Atlantean Purists said as they got up.
"No matter and now we will free ourselves from the fish-heads and put me the true ruler on the throne," Ocean-Master said.
"Not if I have anything to say about it," A voice said. They looked outside and saw Lagoon Boy standing there. "I'm to put you back in chains."
"You insolent fish-head how dear you speak to the true rule of Atlantis like that!" One Atlantean Purists said.
"And what are you going to do about it?" Lagoon Boy asked.
The two Atlantean Purists charged at him, but he went into his puffer mode and swatted them away. He then charged at Ocean-Master, but he raised his trident and it glowed blue and fired a beam at him. The beam hit him in the chest and fell to his knees and returned to his normal form.
"Fool did you forget last time you face me?" He asked smugly. He then walked up to him and looked down at him. "Did you forget the power of Neptune's trident and how it lets me steal an Atlantean's life force?"
"You're not stealing anything," A voice said.
Ocean-Master looked up into to be hit by a plasma blast in the chest. He was thrown back a bit and fell to one knee. He looked at saw it was Blue Beetle that fired it and standing next to him was Tempest.
"As much as I would like to kill you all, I've got other things to do," He said.
He pointed his trident at a window and blasted it open. Water rushed out of it and set the three of them back. He they recovered they saw that Ocean-Master was gone.
"He got away," Blue Beetle said as his hand returned to normal.
"And I can bet where he's going," Tempest said.
Meanwhile Aqualad and Green Lantern and reached the palace and found it under attack by Atlantean Purists.
"We need to get inside," Aqualad yelled as he fired water shots at Atlantean Purists.
"I can handle that," Green Lantern said as he fired shots from his ring at Atlantean Purists. He stopped and created a drill construct around them. "Hold on."
They then rammed straight through some Atlantean Purists and slammed into the palace. They then drilled into it and found themselves in a corridor.
Green Lantern then lifted some rocks and placed them in the hole they just made. He then wielded them in place.
"That should prevent some unwanted company from following us," Green Lantern said.
Aqualad nodded, but then he got a transmission on his comlink. "Aqualad, this is Blue Beetle. I'm warning you that Ocean-Master is heading your way," Blue Beetle's voice said.
"Copy that," Aqualad said. "Get here as soon as you can."
"Understood, hermano," Blue Beetle said.
Aqualad then looked at Green Lantern. "We got to warn Queen Mera at once." He said.
They both swam and soon found themselves in the throne room. They saw Queen Mera and her tentacle-tattoos were glowing on her arms and on her cheeks.
She had created a hard-water construction which had the form of a giant octopus. The tentacles were swatting Atlantean Purists and protecting Prince Artur, who was hiding behind his mother.
Green Lantern created a submarine and fired torpedoes at the Atlantean Purists blowing them away.
Aqualad saw him and pulled his water-bearers and they took the form of maces. He slammed them at any nearby Purists.
Once the battle was done the two heroes swam up to Queen Mera and Prince Artur.
"Queen Mera and Prince Artur we are glad you are unharmed," Aqualad said.
"We are fine, Kaldur'ahm," Queen Mera assured.
"Hey, but for how much longer?" Green Lantern asked.
Before Queen Mera could ask what he meant there was a huge explosion. They looked up and saw the top of the throne room had been blown up. Swimming down towards them was Ocean-Master in his armour.
"Good question, my green friend and allow me to answer that," He said smirking.
"Orm, please do not do this," Queen Mera begged.
"Please Mera, you really think you can talk me out of it," Ocean-Master said as if it was some kind of joke. "I have been denied my birth right for far too long and I'm here to take it back."
"It was never yours," Aqualad said.
"We'll see about that," Ocean-Master said smiling.
He then pointed his trident at them and fired a beam at them. Before it could hit Green Lantern quickly created a shield around them blocking them beam.
"How long do you think you can hang on, little hero?" Ocean-Master asked smirking.
"Long enough for me to do this," A voice behind him said.
Before he could do anything a plasma blast hit him in the back and sent him crashing to the floor. Everyone looked up and saw Tempest, Lagoon Boy and Blue Beetle, who's plasma cannon was smoking swam through the hole that Ocean-Master made.
Before he could recover Lagoon Boy went into his puffer mode and slammed into Ocean-Master crushing him on the floor. He then grabbed one of his legs and tossed him into the wall.
He was then slammed by a massive force of water. This made him loosen the grip of his trident and Green Lantern used his ring to grab it and pull it away from him.
Ocean-Master tried to grab the trident, but Aqualad pulled out his water-bearers and they took the form of massive hammer. He slammed it straight into Ocean-Master and knocked him out cold.

Everyone was in the throne room and with them was Aquaman.
"We can't thank you enough for your help," Aquaman said.
"We were just going your job my king," Aqualad said.
"And I wish to say sorry for the way I spoke to you," Prince Artur said looking at Blue Beetle and Green Lantern.
"Don't sweat it," Green Lantern said.
"So, Garth are you re-joining the team?" Aqualad asked.
"No, I think my duty is down here and try to get more information out of Ocean-Master," Tempest said. "But if you need me, I'll be right beside you."
They both then shook hands.

November 1, 22:09 UTC
Savage was in a throne room and on the throne was the shadowed figure he shook hands with months ago.
"So Lord Darkside shall we enter into phase three?" Savage asked.
Darkside looked at him and nodded. Savage just smiled.
