Queen Mera: Please. I beg you. Spare me. For the sake of my child.
Ocean Master: I am sorry. But mercy hardly figures into my plans. Soon Poseidonis will be purged of its impure, causing city-states of impure majorities to seek vengeance. With Aquaman too busy grieving for wife and child to reconcile the warring factions, an Atlantis in chaos will fall. And the seven seas will truly belong to Ocean Master.
Ronal: So, you used us. Played on our prejudices and used us to destroy King and Country! Forgive me, my queen.
Ocean Master: No, Ronal. Forgive me. I am a cliche. Rattling off my plans for all to hear. And shattering your faith in me. But what is done is done.
Ronal: It is you that is done!
Ocean Master: I think not. On my worst day, I am certainly capable of defeating one of Mera's little students. And this is far from my worst day... What sorcery is this?! Who seeks to rip the Trident from the Ocean Master's grasp?! ... Ah, Kaldur's Martian surface-dweller. Fortunately, I know how to deal with Martians. They cannot take the heat.
Superboy: Leave her alone!!!
Ocean Master: And the Kryptonian surface-dweller too. So powerful, and yet so vulnerable.
Superboy: *Telepathy* Can't ... breathe.
Tula: You cannot fight us all villain!
Ocean Master: Are you so sure of that, child?!
M'gann: *Telepathy* Hold on, Superboy. I've got you!
Ocean Master: The key you see is to target your weakest opponents first, such as those already suffering from my mystic attack on the impure. Forcing even those unaffected into futile heroics!
Garth: We will see whose actions are futile. I summon the power of The Tempest!
Ocean Master: Oh, so close, child! But the Ocean Master is not thus easily defeated!
Kaldur'ahm: Perhaps not ... But your spells are all broken. And without Queen Mera's power. You cannot stand against us all.
Queen Mera: I recover rapidly, miscreant. Would you risk my full wrath?
Ocean Master: No. I suppose not this day. But soon. Soon.

Poseidonis, September 7, 07:01 UTC-2
Nanaue Sha'ark: You can't be serious, chum! King Orin pardoned Ronal?!
Lori Lemaris: He changed sides. He fought Ocean Master.
Nanaue Sha'ark: He's lunch!
Topo: Sha'ark, stand down!
Nanaue Sha'ark: Neptune's Beard. I hate being beholden to a squid...
=============================
King Orin: Once again, Atlantis and its king owe you a great debt, Kaldur'ahm.
Prince Orm: And rest assured, I will deal with the traitorous "sources" that led us both into ambush.
Kaldur'ahm: Thank you, both. Now, we should return to the surface world. For these two begin Earth High School this very morning.
M'gann: Plus, aren't you dying to know what Robin, Kid Flash, and Artemis have been up to?
