| The
fish are suddenly going berserk, so Kyle calls a meeting at JLA
watchtower, and no one shows up, except for Aquaman. They decide to go
on in search for the missing JLA members. They decide to wander down to
the depths of the ocean because a voice (Martian Manhunter's) is
telepathically telling them to do so. As they wander deeper into the
ocean the voice becomes louder. They finally reach the very depths of
the ocean and the find a mermaid who calls herself starfish (Aquaman's
mother!) Starfish has the JLA hostage plus she's controlling their minds
to fight Aquaman and Kyle. Aquaman refuses to fight his teammates as
well as his mother, so Kyle has to will his way out of this. Just as
thing look as if they couldn't get any worse, Kyle's ring starts running
out of juice, so he use's all of his might to create a dome around his
head so that he is able to breathe. Using his JLA transmitter he
struggles to call in recruits from Teen Titans and Young Justice, but is
it to late? Starfish
grabs Kyle and starts to create some sort of cage made out of the sand
on the ocean floor. Just when it looks like Kyle is done for he hears a
sound as if there was a sudden crack of thunder. He looks up and sees
Tempest creating an underwater cyclone and right behind him an air
bubble holding Arsenal, Supergirl, Impulse, and Superboy. Suddenly
Superboy and Wonder Girl burst out of the bubble and dart straight at
Starfish. Then Kyle find out that Starfishe's weakness is children, then
spots that Arsenal is holding Kyle's battery. Arsenal attaches the
battery onto an arrow and fires. The arrow goes straight through the
bubble and right into the bottom of the cage. Kyle picks up the battery,
charges it up and makes hundreds of little mer-children. The mer-children
start swimming towards Starfish and she is so distracted by trying to
get away from the children that she gave way to the JLA and they broke
free. Aquaman decides that since his mother was evil, that that was the
right thing to do. Since Aquaman was Starfish's child he thought it was
best if he finished her off. So Aquaman goes and destroys his mother,
and they have a ceremony afterward because, even though she was evil,
she was still a living being and should be respected. |
