Crane transforms into the living emodiment of Neptune and begins wreaking havoc. Aquaman and Aqualad investigate and find that Neptune is attacking all of the main shipping lanes. Neptune transforms Aqualad into a hideous crab creature and forces him to fight with Aquaman. Neptune has actually taken control of Crane in order to prevent a volcanic ecological disaster.
