In the underwater city of Thierna Na Oge, two sisters, Nuada Silverarm and Bres, are engaged in mystic combat. Ultimately, the victor is Silverarm, who exiles her sister, rather than execute Bres. With the conflict ended, Silverarm instructs her people to prepare for the coming of Aquaman.

Armored invaders pour into the sea, abandoning the meteor ship. Aquaman, Tempest and Dolphin join Silverarm's conclave in repelling the invaders. Aquaman summons sharks to aid in the battle against the invaders. During the conflict, Dolphin is overwhelmed by a sudden compulsion to slay Aquaman. Leveling her weapon upon him, Dolphin...
