After fighting off the Trench, Aquaman turns to an old friend of his father's to find out where the creatures are from.
Summary
Aquaman, Mera and the police battle the Trench on the shore, with Aquaman surprising the leader. The leader calls a retreat, and the Trench takes their "meat" with them. Aquaman admits to the police that he doesn't know what the Trench are, but successfully pulls a living dog out of a cocoon the Trench made, proving that some of the victims might still be alive. Aquaman takes a corpse of one of the creatures to be examined by a scientist he knows, against the protests of the authorities.
The scientist, a biologist named Stephen Shin, helped Aquaman learn to use his powers. Aquaman tells Mera that Shin also tried to kill Aquaman when he wouldn't take Shin to Atlantis. He then tells Aquaman the beast likely comes from the mid-Atlantic trench, and was probably in search of food. A sample of the cocoon confirms that the creatures were bringing food back to their home.
Aquaman and Mera leave, taking the corpse with them over Shin's objections. The couple head toward the deep ocean to try to recover any living victims.
