Chapter 3: The King And The Hero (Aquaman And Ben 10)
(In Atlantis, Aquaman meets Ben 10.)
Ben 10: Pleasure most rare, king Arthur.
Aquaman: Who are you?
Ben 10: My name is Benjamin Tennyson. (in a cocky tone) And I am the greatest hero in Bellwood.
Aquaman: Yeah, right. I want you to tell me about the events in this world.
Ben 10: (bows) Sure, majesty. (gets up) Five years ago, the criminal know as The Joker drugged Superman and made him kill his wife Lois Lane and their unborn child. Their deaths caused the destruction of Metropolis. Consumed by grief, the man of steel killed him.
Aquaman: (pretends to not be shocked) I remember where I was in that day... Go on.
Ben 10: After this, he showed no restraint. Judge, jury and executioner. He and the others who supported his cause quickly reined the criminal element.
Aquaman: Which made him quite popular.
Ben 10: The world was desperate for strong leadership. Superman consolidated his power and formed the One Earth Government. Democratic institutions have been wiped out.
(Then an atlantean guard comes in)
Guard: Sir, the High Counselor's envoys await you.
Aquaman: On my way.
(Then Aquaman and Ben 10 see The Flash and Shazam)
Aquaman: Flash. Shazam. Welcome.
Shazam: It's an honor to meet you.
The Flash: And to be the first surface dwellers to get in Atlantis.
Aquaman: We have some important matters to discuss. The treaty.
The Flash: The final draft. The Trinity is happy that you accepted their terms.
Aquaman: Have I?
(Then Aquaman gets the treaty and walks along with Ben, who whispers in his ear)
Ben 10: If you sign up this treaty, you will allow Superman to rule Atlantis.
(Aquaman then reads the treaty and sees something which confirms what Ben said, then he gets angry.)
Shazam: Is there a problem, Your Highness?
Aquaman: This is complete subjugation! Superman will rule Atlantis!
The Flash: It's what you agreed to. It's what we expect.
Aquaman: You threaten me? Tread carefully.
The Flash: We have our orders.
(Then Ben 10 becomes Feedback and absorbs Shazam's attack before redirecting it to him, while Aquaman headbutts The Flash.)
Aquaman: You can tell Superman... He will not have Atlantis.
(They fight. Aquaman was so pissed when he got threatened and attacked by both envoy that he decides to take out his aggression at both of them (without killing them of course). The Flash tries to use the same tactic to take him down, but Aquaman knows his straight forward pattern and knocks him out without hesitation.)
Aquaman: And your orders be damned!
(Shazam gets up as Ben 10 changes back)
Ben 10: Had enough yet, Billy?
Shazam: Don't call me Billy!
Ben 10: Still loyal to him, I see.
(They fight. Ben 10 knew there was no reasoning with Shazam. Then he takes his anger out of him despite Shazam being a kid. Shazam tries his best to take down the Alien Hero, but he was no match against him as he was a disadvantage due to being underwater and unable to use his full power against him. Ben 10 becomes Diamondhead, shoots some crystals at him and successfully knocks him down. Before Shazam tries to get up, he gets a final blow into the face, knocking him out unconscious.)
Ben 10: (returns to normal) Too much for you... For now...
Aquaman: They make sorry diplomats.
(But then the other Aquaman comes in with a horde of Atlantean Guards.)
Guard: There he is, sir.
(Regime Aquaman was not amused to see this as his double also begins to realize what is going on.)
Aquaman: Well then. Parallel dimension it is.
Aquaman (Regime): Who do you work for, usurper? Manta? Ocean Master?
Aquaman: I'm the King of Atlantis! I answer to no one. Unlike you.
Aquaman (Regime): Mind your tongue.
Aquaman: You would give away your kingdom, like a pair of worn boots, to a surface-dweller?
Aquaman (Regime): The treaty requires Superman to maintain Earth's oceans. And recognize our autonomy.
Aquaman: You put your army at his beck and call.
Aquaman (Regime): A necessary compromise.
Aquaman: More like appeasement!
(Regime Aquaman couldn't answer as he's now seriously irritated and pissed of his counterpart's remark.)
Aquaman (Regime): I grow tired of this. Take them!
(Then Ben 10 becomes Four Arms)
Ben 10: You'll have to go through me first!
(As Ben 10 fights the Atlantean Guards, Aquaman faces his counterpart.)
Aquaman: I had planned to offer you help. I CHANGE MY MIND!
(They fight. Since his counterpart refuse to listen to reasons, Aquaman decides to take him down despite being in the same level and in their own territory. However Regime Aquaman was a bit weaker than his double as Aquaman manages to gain the upper hand thus being defeated by his own double.)
Aquaman: Now let's discuss a revised foreign policy.
(Unfortunately more guards came to assist Regime Aquaman.)
Aquaman (Regime): Kill them!
(As some of the guards were about to attack him, suddenly a black glow forms around everyone except Aquaman and Ben 10 as they froze in their tracks. Aquaman hits one of the guards who was about to attack him but the moment that the red glow appears, he falls down like a statue. He checks on one of the guards but neither of them faze.)
Aquaman: What now...
Ben 10: Sunny, I know you are in there!
(Then Sunny comes in)
Sunny: You became clever out of a sudden, dear cousin?
Ben 10: Save it. I know your tricks.
Sunny: You presume to defeat me?
Ben 10: Yes. And I will show you how.
(They fight. Ben 10 was aware about Sunny's magic powers, and decides to do the unthinkable. He becomes cautious enough to be able to defeat her.)
Ben 10: I told you that I could beat you.
Sunny: (gets up) I gotta admit, I am impressed.
Ben 10: I wish Gwen was watching this...
Sunny: Now that we're done fighting...
(Somewhere in a hidden Insurgent base, Wonder Woman and Green Lantern are looking at Green Arrow who was about to take a pill when Aquaman and Ben 10 appeared before them, surprising them.)
Gwen: I better keep an eye on Sunny next time.
Ben 10: Wait, you knew what happened in Atlantis?
(Gwen nods as Batman and the other insurgents come in)
Batman (Insurgency): I was wondering how to retrieve you both from Atlantis.
Aquaman: (notice the pill) Headache?
Green Arrow: (eats it) Trying to prevent one...
Jaune: It's a durability enhancer. 5-U-93-R.
Aquaman: How can a pill allow--
Virginia: Kryptonian nanotech. Increases the tensile strength of bone and tissue by several thousand percent.
Green Arrow: They can tell you the rest later, if you're having trouble sleeping... He borrowed the recipe from Superman. He gives it it to his flunkies.
(Green Arrow gets down off the table as everyone takes their seats around it.)
Aquaman: Yes. I met a couple of our evil twins.
Zach: They're not evil. Most obey them out of fear... Or they believe they're right and have lost perspective.
Aquaman: So is that everyone...
(Just then a familiar person wearing his business suit enters the room.)
????: Now that's everyone.
Aquaman: What is this?!
Green Arrow: How are you even alive?
Kevin: He is with us.
Cynthia: Unlike your Lex Luthor, my father never indulged in law breaking. Superman doesn't suspect that he is secretly helping the Insurgency.
Anthony: Luthor's involvement is a secret. People critical of Superman disappear. Government officials, activists, reporters...
Wonder Woman: Well now that we're all here, explain why you chose us.
Green Arrow: And why you didn't ask before yankin' us over. We were kinda busy.
Lex Luthor: The nuke? It didn't go off. Your transfer somehow prevented it.
Green Arrow: How did you know about that--
Lex Luthor: We've been monitoring your world for some time. You four specifically.
Batman (Insurgency): I have a weapon which can stop Superman. A kryptonite-based laser that--(The prime heroes were shocked about this.)
Green Lantern: Hold on... A Kryptonite weapon? You kill him, you're no better than he is.
Batman (Insurgency): I didn't say "kill". It will only incapacitate him, nothing more. It is hidden at the batcave, and I need your DNA samples to unlock it.
(Then Virginia goes to Gotham. What attracted her attention?)
