Summary:

When a mysterious stranger abducts Mera, Aquaman and Aqualad begin a quest to find the missing Queen. They stumble upon a group of magicians whose own Queen looks exactly like Aquaman's missing wife!En route to Atlantis, the Atlantean royal family is suddenly beset by rapidly churning seas and swirling eddies. Despite the lack of visibility, the quartet pushes onward. A sudden malaise washes over Aquaman and Aqualad.

The village's entire populace raise arms against him, and a fierce battle ensues. When Aqualad attempts to aid his mentor, he, too, becomes a target for the mob. While Aquaman is able to, easily, hold his own, Aqualad doesn't fare as well. The young hero suffers a serious stab wound. The cruelty of the attack enrages Aquaman, but moments later he is, finally, brought...
