The Battle of Atlantis
Oceanus and his wife Tethys approached the domed city of Poseidonis. The world's oceans were once under their rule and would be once again. The usurpers, Poseidon and his followers, would be driven out and Oceanus would once again claim what was rightfully his.

Tethys was next to her husband as they approached the domed city. Poseidon's rule over the oceans would end and his mortal worshipers would properly be worshiping Tethys and Oceanus. The Titans would once again take their rightful places.

The two walked confidently up to the gates of the city.

The alarm was raised and the host of Poseidonis went out to meet the two Titans with their king, queen and princess in the lead with Aquaknight and Ash next to them.

Arthur had been expecting this and had his people prepare as best as possible. The women and children were in the tunnels beneath the city and on their way toward Tritonis. He wasn't sure if they would survive this, or Poseidonis for that matter, but some of the people would survive and rebuild.

He looked over at his wife and daughter and was quite pleased that Caitria had accepted her place and was here.

Mera's place was next to her husband and daughter helping to defend the people of Atlantis. The council members were leading the women and children to Tritonis and would select a new monarch if they should fall.

Mera was ready and was confident they would be victorious.

Cait was nervous. They were about to fight two gods and even with Poseidon's powers, it was still a daunting task. She had to believe that they would defeat the sea god and goddess and she would get back to the surface and see Ty.

She took a deep breath and centered herself.

AJ is nervous too, but he remembers that he has the power of Proteus to help him. He hoped all their power would be enough. Aquaknight draws his sword and readies himself for what could be his most dangerous battle.

"We are here to reclaim what is rightfully ours." Oceanus surveyed the line of four standing before him and his wife. They looked ready for a fight.

"You will give it back to us peacefully, or suffer the consequences," Tethys said.

"Then you will die," Oceanus announced nonchalantly. Hard water spears volleyed at the four Atlanteans standing against the True Rulers of the Sea.

CAIT!!!!
He calls for her, reaches for her. With all the power at his disposal, all the magic, all the strength, all the energy. The ring manifests, the Trident manifests, the bow and arrows, the swords. A wave of psychic energy demolishes his workshop, leveling everything within, and then the ruins are ravaged and burned by the power of the Godwave. Time slows, stretches a nanosecond into precious, fleeting moments, seeking something, anything that will find her voice.

And its not enough.
Not nearly enough.
He has the strength of gods. He can bend time and space to his will. He has the minds of geniuses and brilliant madmen, and every stray thought and awareness is available for his recall.
He can level mountains, he has stood toe to toe with a thing older than the gods.

And yet, as the smoke and dust rises around him, its all destruction. Cait is gone. His love is gone. His heart is go...

His eyes close. His hands shake. Its washing over him, and for once, there is no strength left in him to fight it. An intense, terrible cold comes over him, and at first, it just feels like loss. And then... there's something else.

His eyes shift from blank white... to jet black. His right hand twists, the bones becoming more prominent, dark grey muscles stretched over the bones like something dried and dead, and yet he feels an incredible strength within it, and a voice in his head.

Tyler Darnell of Earth...RISE.

He lifts up from where he collapsed, then floats in the air a moment. Blank eyes survey his workshop, all he'd devoted so much time to, and finds it meaningless. Only two things matter now... his love is dead... and he knows who killed her.

With a wave of violet energy, he teleports to Atlantis, floating over Cait's body.

"Oceanus... I would have words."

Oceanus ignored AJ, because he could. His shell of hard water became thicker; stronger. And Oceanus focused on Ty, who radiated with power and rage. His eyes were black holes. His right hand was twisted and looked of death. But Oceanus did not falter at the sight. He frowned, yes--as would all who saw yet another had come to oppose them from taking back what was rightfully theirs.

"Boy, you had spoken your last words." And so Oceanus mustered his strength, still high off of the rage he felt when Tethys was murdered, and constructed a volley of hard water spears speeding at Ty. He watched for the result from the safety (or so he thought) of his hard water shell.

The trident manifests in Ty's left hand. He gestures with it, and the water slows and warps as it approaches him. Ocean Master's power isn't enough to stop the spears, but it slows some of them. As the rest approach, Black Adam's invulnerability is bolstered by a grey, rocky shell. Then a faint yellow barrier surrounds that. For a moment he disappears in a churn and boil of water as the spears strike, but when it clears, he's not hurt. Indeed, he hasn't so much as shifted an inch.

Those soulless eyes blink once, then narrow as he considers Oceanus.
Rage
Greed
Love

"You have lost someone dear to you... someone you possessed..." His voice softens. "Don't worry, Titan... I have come to spare you this terrible, endless pain. And I shall restore her to you."

He gestures with his right hand, then curls it into a fist.
"What was lost shall be restored... dear fallen... come and embrace your lover...Tethys of the Titanomachy...RISE."

Tethys' eyes opened and she slowly climbed to her feet. There was a huge gaping hole in her abdomen and chest from having been blown apart from the inside out. Jagged pieces of ribs were exposed along with the spinal column.

She walked over to Oceanus and wrapped her arms around her husband.

Doe-eyed and in complete shock, Oceanus watched as his wife came to him. Her ribs were displayed clearly, but he was looking beyond her obvious appearance. His wife was coming back to him. As she wrapped her arms around him, he wrapped his own around her. For the moment, he had forgotten all intention of reclaiming his place in the seas.

"Tethys, darling..."

Ty smiles, but there's no humor, or even any identifiable human emotion in it.

LOVE

There's a telekinetic wave, sweeping the others back and shielding the area. This is not their time.

"Reunions are so touching. Ah, but there's one more here for you... its been many centuries, millennia really, but what is time to you? Surely you recall Zeus' power when you were banished? No?."

"Well then...

SHAZAM!"

Oceanus was almost to the point of ignoring Ty completely, but he caught mention of Zeus. Just then, he snapped back into the reality of what was happening. He took another look at Tethys before Ty finished talking, and he struggled to break free of her grasp. He finally managed to throw Tethys off of himself, but there was no time left to escape what was to come.

"GGYYYAAAAAAHHH!!!"

Crippled, Oceanus remained still. His body twitched as he regained regular control of himself. His brow furrowed deeply, and he felt more rage than anything he had ever felt before. Through his heavy breathing, he spoke, "Boy... You will...pay..."

"Oh, he will. When this is over, he will feel loss and pain and anger and regret. But this is not over... not for him, not yet. That day will come. But you, Titan... what is that I see in your eyes?"

FEAR

"Ah yes. But don't worry, Titan... I give you permission to rest now. The greatest of gifts, no more loss, no more anger, no more fear. I give you a gift bestowed on few immortals... for you may be one of the fathers of gods, but what is that before death?"

Time bends with Zoom's power and Deathstroke's skill and accuracy. Ty barely seems to move. A moment later, however, there's a heart in his hand, rapidly withering in his grip, a soft hiss rising from it through the water, sounding vaguely like "Flllsssshhhh."

"Sleep now, Oceanus. I give you, and Atlantis... peace."

Arthur couldn't move as he watched Ty destroy Oceanus. Atlantis was safe, that much was taken off his shoulders, but....

By Poseidon the cost was too high, he thought as he walked over to Cait's lifeless body. Arthur had lost his wife and daughter. AJ, Koryak and now Cait and Mera. How much more could Arthur lose?

He bent over and gently picked Cait up, cradling her body in his arms. Not caring that there were witnesses, Arthur placed a kiss on her forehead. "You didn't fail me, Minnow" he whispered.

"Bring the Queen's body," he ordered his soldiers.

He looked at Ty, Ash, Cerdian, Dolphin and AJ, his face a mix of grief and anger. He couldn't speak to thank them for their help defending his kingdom.

Ty's hands shake, his eyes shift back to blank white, and then the color returns to them. He sees the bodies, then, as his hand regains flesh and life, he feels the heart in his hand.

He gags, then retches, collapsing to his knees and dropping the heart.
"Oh... oh gods... what... what have I do..."

Then he sees her. Cait, lifeless, in her father's arms. And with that, it all comes flooding back.

Ty goes pale. He's become a killer, and his love is dead. There are no words.

Cerdian had seen all of this transpiring in his mind's eye, but that makes it no less shocking. He stares at the destruction wrought by Ty, the death wrong by the Titans and understands, finally, that there just isn't enough reason in the world to let madness like this continue when he could stop it.

The path he would take from this moment forward was clearer than the water around them. First, however, he will help a friend.

"Tyler, you did what you had to do. You saved Atlantis. Come, we must attend the king." Cerdian says.

Ash is in shock. It had not struck her that Mera ad died until after Cait had fallen. Then everything seemed to go to hell. Which might be why he felt like retreating into herself.

Her throat tightens and she wills herself not to say a word. Because this was jut too horrific for words and nothing can fix it.

AJ turned back into his normal self. It all happened so quickly, he could hardly believe it was real, but it was. The first friend he made on the outside was gone, and so was her mother. AJ hangs his head and grips his sword tightly. He slowly swims over to the others to join them. He was given the power of a god and in the end there was nothing he could do.

There were tears streaming silently down Dolphin's face. Her sword was lying on the ground, and she didn't care to pick it up. Mera was dead. Cait was dead. Atlantis and the king were safe, but the cost for keeping it safe was far too great.

Dolphin wiped her tears from eyes, glancing over at her son before following after Arthur.

"I... I didn't, it wasn't... wasn't me." he says, though it sounds hollow. There's a destroyed heart before him, and his hand is still bloody. Whether it appears to have or not, he's not sure if, really, the blood will ever come out.

And his love is dead.

Four soldiers carried the body of the Queen while another picked up Dolphin's sword.

"If you will come with us," a captain said to Cerdian, Ty, Ash and AJ. "We will see to your injuries and needs in the city."

The rest of the soldiers fell into formation in front of and behind Arthur and the soldiers carrying Mera's body. The fallen Queen and Princess would have an honor guard.
