storyline	The Oceanmaster, Aquaman's brother, attacked New Venice, Florida. The siblings fought as the city crumbled. Mera pleaded her husband for help with saving the citizens. Orm somehow had gained tremendous power and easily defeated Arthur. When Aquaman awakened, Mera told him no one had been killed in the blast, but several were injured. She reminded him that the city was attacked simply because he lived there. Aquaman finally grasped how bad the city had been torn apart. He was summoned back to Atlantis by the king. En route, he was attacked by an octopus. The creature did not respond to his telepathy. It took him into a secret entrance, where Vulko - Atlantis' king - apologized for the mechanical attack. Vulko explained that Arthur's rule had opened Atlantis up to both other under water cities and the surface world. Atlanteans were in an upheaval, and the royal seal had been stolen. He believed the Thierna na Oge had stolen it - a race of powerful under water women. Aquaman donned a new outfit (purple, white, and blue) hoping to find the seal without being recognized. He was captured while sneaking into the city.

storyline	Arthur awakened in chains he could not break. A woman with a metal arm explained they could not be broken by brute force or magic. She was summoned away to the king's chambers. Orm attacked the lighthouse where Arthur grew up. The king, a woman, used her magic to get into the "outsider's" mind. She found the truth - he was there by request of his king in hopes of preventing war. Vulko realized he had no more time; his people's rage must be let loose. War was declared on the surface world. Aquaman was thrown into an arena to fight a man-shark while the king and her sister fought a war of words. Aquaman got the upper hand, but the "conclave" enhanced the beast's magical powers. Aquaman attempted to telepathically stop it, but instead wiped away the brain washing it had been under. Sreng attacked his rulers. While they used their magic against him, Aquaman escaped with the king's sister (the woman with the steel arm). She, too, was after an ancient artifact which had become missing from her people. She took him to Maarzon, where they were attacked by Savages. As they fought, Orm appeared.

storyline	Orm had set himself up as the Maarzon's god. His people demanded a sacrifice. The Atlantean attack force encountered the Ocean Master and realized he must have stolen their seal. Orm decimated the entire army. Orm told his brother how he'd come to such great powers - he'd discovered an ancient Atlantean library. He read about magic and twelve crystals. One by one, Orm collected the crystals and became more powerful with each. He was now in possession of five.

storyline	As Aquaman felt sorry for himself, his brother captured a sixth crystal. Nuada, Aquaman's fellow captive, refused to use her magic to stop Orm, and explained to him that his brother was playing him for a fool. His emotions were helping the madman's scheme. Aquaman broke down and gave into her. She told him she would help him if he would turn his emotions over to her. She placed him under a spell so that he could attack the Ocean Master. He searched deep down and realized he still loved his brother. Once that revelation occurred to him, Orm exploded. Nearby, they found the crystals and his helmet / mask.
