| - With his young partner's life in peril, Aquaman pushes his telepathic power, to the limit, to force the Bugala to loosen it's death grip on Aqualad. Then, Aquaman goes into action. The sea king attacks, and attacks again, striking the monstrous sea serpent from all angles. For several pitched moments, Aguaman continues his merciless assault on the leviathan. At last, it turns away,stalking off into the ocean depths to lick it's wounds. From a nearby coral ridge, the men of Eldfur cheer on the Sea KIng's efforts on their behalf. The victory though is merely a stall for Eldfur's waning populace. In a year's time, the Bugala will return. On that day, Eldfur's warriors will have to learn to rely on themselves, if their civilization is to survive. In Atlantis, the insurrection against the tyrant, Narkran, continues unabated. Within the royal chambers, Mupo, the leader of the revolution, is locked in mortal combat with Narkran. A sudden seaquake allows Narkran to gain the advantage, but it is fleeting. Soon enough, Mupo has the despot at his mercy. Aquaman, Mera, and Aqualad arrive in Atlantis. The mere appearance of the true king is enough to quiet the violence in the streets. Narkran's loyalists, however, are quick to target the royal family for assassination Narkran's loyalists are the same trio that engineered Mera's abduction to the surface world. Without the advantage the syndicate's artificial whirlpool generator provided them, during the kidnapping, the three men are no match at all for Aquaman, Aqualad, or Mera. The fight ends swiftly, and decisively. Aquaman's chief advisor, Vulko, brings the Sea King up to date on all that has occurred in Atlantis, in the royal family's absence. Narkran's descent into tyranny and madness. The steady threat of the seaquakes. The rise of the revolution. Aquagirl's near mortal wounding at the hands of Narkran. Aquaman swims for his royal chambers and a reckoning with Narkran. Within, Mupo, having toyed with the dictator for several moments, prepares to deliver the deathblow. Mupo immediately drops his sword, though, when Aquaman enters the room. Narkran, in a cowardly fashion, tries to paint Mupo as a traitor. Another seaquake rocks the palace. Aquaman strikes Narkran down. Narkran pleads his innocence, in all wrongdoing, before the king. However, once Mera and Aquagirl step into the room, Narkran knows the truth of his betrayal is known to the king. Narkran breaks down, weeping, as the Atlantean guard take him away. Aquaman and Mera chastise the rebel leader, Mupo, for the rashness of his actions. Conferring with Vulko in the aftermath of the insurrection, the idea is put forth that the mounting seaquakes may be the first sign of a prophecy being fulfilled. One that could see Atlantis rise, once more, to the surface. With that notion in mind, Aquaman puts into motion plans to rebuild Atlantis.
