When Aquaman travels through a portal to the parallel dimension of Oceanid, on a request for help from his supposed son A.J., he is confronted by an invading alien force called the Maritorn and their leader Lord Nemo.

They are galactic parasites, invading other planets, like the water planet Oceanid, and steal their water from the oceans with their vast fleet, since theirs is all gone. This led to the water elemental of this world, a version of Naiad to be in the brink of death.

Aquaman, Mera, A.J. and the warriors of Oceanid mount a counter attack and defeat the invading force, as Aquaman squares of against Lord Nemo and beating him.
