Synopsis:
Aquaman and Aqualad return to Atlantis. They find Mera outside the dome speaking with Ocean Master. Aquaman's foe tries to deliver a warning. Before he can finish, aliens arrive. Aquaman is shot by an alien weapon which knocks him unconscious.

When Aquaman awakens he finds himself in a mysterious realm. He doesn't know if it is another planet or another dimension. He eventually makes contact with a girl who lives in a strange city where communication is forbidden except for inside a sacred building. The Sea King is unable to explain where he comes from or to learn how to return home. Frustrated, Aquaman is then introduced to Brother Warnn.
