(male narrator)
Aquaman.

Swift and powerful

monarch of the ocean.

With ability
to summon and command

all creatures of the deep.

Aquaman, who with
his teenage ally, Aqualad

guards and defends
all that lives in the sea

against the forces of evil.

Aquaman,
King of the Seven Seas.

[theme music]

(male narrator)
In his secret underwater cave



Aquaman, King of the Seven Seas

monitors his domain.

Unaware that Aqualad
and his pet walrus, Tusky

are exploring a distant region

fraught with danger and peril.

(Aqualad)
Bouncing butterfish! A city.

Built by a super
scientific race.

Imp, let's get closer.

[neighing]

'Blast you, Imp.'

You're not a seahorse.
You're a sea chicken.

[clapping]

Yipe! Hey, what!

'Let go!'



Let me go!

[intense music]

(Aqualad)
'Take your slimy arms
off, you..'

You!

Release them.

[zapping]

[grunting]

You can't escape from those
suction cups, Aqualad.

You know who I am?

You, Aqualad, are
the perfect decoy

to lure Aquaman into my trap.

'I must learn
from him his secret'

'of communicating
with sea creatures.'

Which with my own
powerful new weapon

will make me King of the seas.

Guards, to your posts.

[dramatic music]

Aquaman.
Aquaman, emergency.

(Aqualad on speaker)
'But be careful of a trap.'

Got it, tadpole.
On my way.

[intense music]

No time to lose, follow me.

Look, the Sea King approaches.

Down.

[bubbling]

(male narrator)
About to be overpowered
by the Octoguards

the Sea King issues
a telepathic command for help.

[music continues]

Aquaman, get us off here.

[barking]

This suction is too..

'I could use some horsepower.'

Pull, Imp. Pull, Storm.

That does it.

[barking]

Guards, take them!

[dramatic music]

[neighing]

Now, Aquaman.

Reveal to me your secret
of communicating

with sea creatures.

It's simple, Your Majesty

all you do is concentrate hard.
Like this.

(male narrator)
Taking advantage
of the opportunity

Aquaman again issues
a telepathic summons

for reinforcements.

- I see no results.
- Look, here comes a stingray.

[crackling]

(Aquaman)
'Or if you prefer lobsters.'

Or electric stargazers.

All guards, attack!
At once!

Here come the king's troops.

And here come our troops.

bam

[crackling]

Let's pitch in, team.

[barking]

[crackling]

Storm, Imp, he's all yours!

- Guess they've had enough.
- Check.

Please, Aquaman.

I have a shocking
surprise for you.

'Powerhouse, release
the force monster.'

(male narrator)
Now, inside the powerhouse

Octomen activate
a fantastic power generator.

- Okay, let's get out of--
- Aquaman, look.

(Aqualad)
'It's an electric octo-giant.'

Reveal your secret of telepathy

or my electric force monster
will destroy you all.

If he can catch us.

Let's go, team!

[crackling]

thud

- Bouncing butterfish!
- Stay out of its way.

Yipe! His touch is deadly.

Need help to turn off his power.

Storm, Imp, you and the fish
keep him busy.

'Let's go, Aqualad.'

[dramatic music]

[Tusky yelping]

[beeping]

Aqualad, turn
the power up. Full.

[Tusky yelping]

(Aqualad)
'Full power, Aquaman.'

No, it will explode!

It will destroy
the entire city.

Come on, Aqualad.
We'd better clear out too.

Go, everybody.
On the move, fast.

[crackling]

Get out, it's going to blow up.

[explosion]

Well, I guess that's the end
of the Octo City.

Yes, tadpole. Too bad.

Come on, let's go.

[barking]

Steady, whiskers. Steady.

That's just a friendly octopus
minding his own business.

Come on.

[barking]

(male narrator) In just a moment, we'll return
with another exciting adventure

featuring a guest star from
the galaxy of super superhero.

[theme music]

Here come the Teen Titans.

A quartet of powering talents.

Kid Flash, whose speed
defies the eye to follow.

Wonder Girl, swift
and powerful super lass.

Speedy, whose fantastic arrows
perform awesome feats.

Aqualad, bold and daring
marine marvel.

Fabulous foursome
for right against might

the "Teen Titans."

[instrumental music]

It is a quiet morning

when an awesome creature
rears up out of the sea

and strides up
onto the deserted beach.

bam

[beeping]

crash

In moments, news
of the weird raider reaches

the secret mountain
headquarters

of the mighty Teen Titans.

Speedy to Titans.
Come in, Teen Titans.

Aqualad here.

Wonder Girl here.

Kid Flash here.

- What's up, Speedy-O
- Condition Red.

Rendezvous Sector C for Charlie
B for beta, D for double.

- Be there in a flash.
- Roger.

Wilco.

(male narrator)
A short while later

from land, sea and air

three teenage fighters
join forces.

[beeping]

Come on, team,
we gotta stop this thing.

clang

clang

Slow down, you overgrown
wind-up toy.

Whoa, boy, whoa!

What do we have to do
to stop this thing?

Maybe an armor-piercing arrow
can do the trick.

bam

[both screaming]

What do we do?
Let it go?

No, we've gotta find out
where it comes from.

Okay, it's in my element now.
Let me handle it.

Check. We'll follow
in the copter.

splash

[dramatic music]

bam

(Wonder Girl)
'Oh, there's
that crazy machine.'

Yeah, but where's Aqualad?

Thanks, Leggy.

Gotta go follow
that mechanical monster.

[dramatic music]

[machine whirring]

Leaping land fish!

He got me again.

[engine revving]

Merciful Venus! Look!

(Kid Flash)
'Hey, Aqualad's in trouble.'

Come on, put this
eggbeater down. Fast.

Let go of me, you big lug!
Let go!

You think this boomerang arrow
will work, Speedy?

Just hang on to your lariat.

This is where I go to work.

bam

crash

(Aqualad)
Nice work, team.

Now, let's go see
who controls this thing.

[beeping]

(Speedy)
Holy haddocks! This thing
is a giant spaceship!

But where did it come from?

And dig that crazy computer.

[beeping]

Stop, stay...where you are.

Suffering Sappho.
It-it talks.

Spooky.

Let's have a good look at it.

Repeat, stay...where you are.

Shouldn't we stop?

Forget it.

Now you shall be destroyed.

[intense music]

Look! It means business.

Scatter, Titans.

[dramatic music]

Come and get me, fellas.

[explosion]

Whoopsy-daisy.

(Aqualad)
'Great guppies!'

When the two robots exploded

the computer started
speeding up like crazy.

Must be the answer.

Yeow!

[crackling]

Turn it towards me, gill head.

(Aqualad)
'Be my guest, evil eye.'

clang

Great shot, Speedy boy.

crash

(Speedy)
'The computer is going out
of it's electronic mind.'

pew pew

Watch out, this last robot's
on a rampage.

pew pew

Nice going, Wonder Girl.

Am I glad these Amazon bracelets
are invulnerable.

Deflect the bolts back at them.

pew pew

You read my mind, Kid Flash.

[explosion]

[beeping]

Hey, look at that
crazy machine now.

It's going to explode.

Everybody out, fast.

[beeping]

(Kid Flash)
Take off, Speedy.

[engine revving]

[explosion]

Wow. What a blast!

(Kid Flash)
'Whoever sent that
invasion force from space'

'will think twice
before trying it again.'

Well, time for me
to head home.

Same here.

(Wonder Girl)
Bye, gang.

Hey, what about me?

[chuckles]
You're just stuck in this
old copter, twinkle toes

until we reach solid ground.

[instrumental music]

(male narrator)
Coming up next,
more action packed adventures

with Aquaman,
King of the Seven Seas.

Featuring Aqualad
and Tusky the walrus.

[neighing]

[instrumental music]

[Tusky barking]

What in the Seven Seas
is Tusky up to, Aquaman?

Must be something up ahead

he wants us to see, Aqualad.

(male narrator)
Hiding on a rusty
barnacle-encrusted wreck

a sinister metal-clad figure

attracted by Tusky's
excited barking

peers out at the approaching
Sea King and his friends.

[sniggering]

Aquaman, you've bested me before

but now it is my turn.

Now, the Torpedo's
will have revenge.

Jumping jackfish, Tusky.

Did you bring us out here
just to see that old wreck?

Wait, Aqualad. I just saw
something move in there.

You're right, Aquaman. I..

'Sufferin' sunfish!'

'It's the Torpedoman.'

(Aquaman)
'So, that's where
he's been hiding out.'

[theme music]

Here he comes.
Split, tadpole, fast.

[Torpedoman laughing]

(Aquaman)
No, you don't, Torpedo.

You can't escape me
this time, Aquaman.

Watch him, Aquaman.

(Aquaman)
'Gotcha!'

[Torpedoman laughing]

This won't hold me long.

He's right.
Aquaman.

I know, tadpole.
I'm summoning help.

(male narrator)
Aquaman's telepathic command
quickly reaches

a school of
blockbusting barracudas

and powerful paddlefish,
who race to the sea king's aid.

[Torpedoman laughing]

He's cut himself loose.

(Aquaman)
'Yes, but here come the troops.'

Now, let's grab him, tadpole.

Missed him.

He's slippery as a greased eel.

(Aqualad)
'Now, what's he up to?'

'Holy swordfish. He's coming
down like a big anchor.'

Scatter.

(Aqualad)
'Tusky!'

clang

Let me give you a hand, Torpedo.

(Aqualad)
'Nice toss, Aquaman.
That oughta hold him.'

(Aquaman)
Not for long, Minnow.
Look!

Here he comes.

(Aquaman)
Take cover.

Now, where is he?

Look out, duck!

[dramatic music]

It's like there's ten of him.

How long can he keep this up?

Until we catch him.

[Torpedoman laughing]

[whimpering]

Wavin' wolfish.

Harpoons!

[beeping]

[laughing]

(Aqualad)
'Swell, Aquaman!'

Where's Torpedo?
He's vanished again.

(Aquaman)
'Stay alert, Aqualad.
He's up to something, I'll bet.'

Now, they're just
where I want 'em.

[beeping]

Trembling triggerfish.
An electric grid.

Must be how Torpedo
recharges his batteries.

This is the end for you,
Aquaman!

Aquaman, look out!

[crackling]

[Torpedoman screaming]

Mumbling Morays.
He's a goner.

No.

He maybe our enemy,
but I can't let him die.

[beeping]

(Aqualad)
'What are they doing, Aquaman?'

(Aquaman)
'Drawing the electricity
from Torpedoman.'

(Aqualad)
'Boy, I hope he appreciates'

'that you saved
his life, Aquaman.'

Forget it.

Let's wrap him up and take him

into Atlantis.

[laughing]

You'll never take me in.
Ha-ha-ha.

(Aqualad)
'He's getting away.'

(Aquaman)
'Watch out.'

crash

Leapin' weakfish.
Now, we're really snagged.

[grunting]

Can't lift or break
this metal mesh.

Go on, Storm, Imp.

Pull, Tusky.

[grunting]

It's too heavy.

(Torpedoman)
'Now, to send
those marine marvels'

to their doom.

crash

[intense music]

Jumping jellyfish.
The ship's rocking.

It's gonna slide off
this ledge.

What are we gonna do, Aquaman?

For this job, we need
big muscle. And fast.

(male narrator)
This time the sea king
issues an urgent summons

for help to a giant octopus.

(Aqualad)
'We're sunk, Aquaman.
We're sunk.'

(Aquaman)
'Not yet, Aqualad.'

Here comes help.

Alright, fella.
Take hold.

Now, lift.

(Aqualad)
'Lift, fella. Pull!'

(Torpedoman)
One more smash
and it's all over.

Oh! I can't get out!

I, ah-ha-ha, can't! Ah!

Now or never.

- We're out!
- Away, quickly.

[intense music]

boom

Destroyed by his own treachery.

Don't bet on it, Aqualad.

With his fantastic powers,
I've a hunch

he'll be menacing us
and the Seven Seas again

'all too soon.'

Come on, let's get out of here.

[dramatic music]
