“The Deluge Act Three”
The Aquamarines infiltrate Atlantis on their mission to assassinate Aquaman. Arthur, with the help of Mera and Jurok Byss, is able to capture them, but High Lord Zeekil Neol and Elder Koah are killed in the attack and Seneschal Kae is critically injured. Sentiment among the Atlanteans is to retaliate against the US. Aquaman addresses his subjects and says he will make one last attempt to avoid war, but if he fails he will accept that war is inevitable and will step down as king of Atlantis. Aquaman then tracks a N.E.M.O. signal to their base and discovers that they are led by Black Manta.
