Synopsis:
Black Manta attacks Atlantis. When Aquaman leaves the city to fight him, he falls into a trap. Black Manta then poisons the dome protecting the city. As a result, Dr. Vulko is forced to pump all the water out of the city. Aquaman returns and decides to initiate Project X, which turns the Atlantean people into air breathers again.

Aquaman, Aqualad, Mera, and Aquababy are now the only water breathers in Atlantis. While outside the city, Mera and Aquababy are attacked by Black Manta. Aquababy is kidnapped, so Aquaman surrenders himself.

Ocean Master is planning his own attack and sees Aquaman being taken captive. He intercedes and takes Aquababy himself. This ignites a duel between the two villains. Aquaman also frees himself, but is injured. Ocean Master wins the duel, but shows compassion by returning Aquababy to Aquaman and leaving in peace.
