From the depths of the ocean comes the Karaqan — a monster so immense, Aquaman doesn't even know how to start battling it! And while he may have no idea what it is, the people of Atlantis do — and the LAST thing they want is for their king to try to stop it!
Synopsis
Aquaman defeats the Karaqan without help from Atlanteans, but something strange happens as it dies.
Summary
In Amnesty Bay, Evans continues to look for Aquaman and gets advice from a waitress.
While trying to communicate with the Karaqan, Aquaman links to the creature's memories. Both he and the Karaqan are frozen during the link. Aquaman breaks free, but the monster continues its rampage and Aquaman goes back to rescuing people.
At Triton Base, the people who woke the creature watch Aquaman's fight. Dr. Shin is one of them, and is surprised that his boss, Blythe, still wants a sample from the creature.
Aquaman attempts to control the Karaqan in vain. He has a quick flashback to working with his father on the lighthouse. After getting stepped on, Aquaman decides to put his trident through its brain. He succeeds, killing the creature.
The Atlanteans arrive, as do the people looking for a sample from the creature. While Aquaman is distracted, the scientists take a sample of the creature's brain from Aquaman's trident. Aquaman still feels the creature's memories, even as it dies. The creature starts to burn itself up, and some locals get Aquaman's attention to thank him for saving them.
As Aquaman leaves, he orders Neol to head in a different direction because he can sense the Karaqan's brain impulses moving that way. Back at Triton Base, Coombs cuts himself while repairing a servo and attracts some sharks.
