Synopsis

Final issue! Aquaman and Aqualad reunite just in time to battle Ocean Master, who has found his way to some super-weapons hidden in the original city of Atlantis.Ocean Master, riding atop a hideous sea serpent, arrives in Atlantis to once again threaten Aquaman. Closing on the Ocean Master, Aquaman underestimates the ferocity of the sea serpent, and ends up in it's jaws. Aquaman quickly beats his way free, then continues his attack on the Ocean Master. The two adversarial brothers become locked in mortal combat. Aquaman is close to victory when his long absent sidekick, Aqualad, joins the fray. Aqualad is struck hard by the sea serpent's tail, leaving him too stunned to avoid the falling debris the sea serpent rains down upon him. In the seconds it takes for Aquaman to rescue Aqualad, the Ocean Master makes his escape. Aquaman, Aqualad, and Mera pursue the Ocean Master to an oceanic fissure, one opened by Seaquake's recent attack on Atlantis. Deep within the fissure lies the crumbling ruins of the ancient city of Atlantis, long buried beneath the domed undersea kingdom of Atlantis. Aqualad leads the charge down into the fissure's depths.The heroic trio split up to cover more ground in the search. Aquaman locates the Ocean Master's ship. Searching what's left of the building the Ocean Master parked his ship next to, Aquaman comes under attack. Using an ancient Atlantean weapon, the Ocean Master keeps Aquaman at bay while he explains his scheme. The Ocean Master has returned to the ruins of Old Atlantis in search of a super weapon, one that will make him not only master of the seas, but of the world as well. Having heard enough, Aquaman blocks the Ocean Master's attack rod with a crumbled section of wall, disarms his brother, then beats him into the sea floor. The Ocean Master hurls a handful of sand into the Sea King's face, then flees. The Ocean Master is able to make it back to his ship, and releases the sea serpent. The creature is quick enough to get in one hard...
