Eventually, the other heroes met up at S.T.A.R Labs where Green Lantern was scanning something which appeared to be a submarine.
"No energy signatures," Green Lantern reported. "This was all done by hand."
A Dalmatian was soon seen as it was coming out of the submarine.
"Who could have done that, besides us?" Captain Marvel wondered.
"Wait, there's something in there." Lady Gothika pointed out as she stood beside Batman.
They soon looked up to see what Lady Gothika saw and where it soon slid down the other side. Lady Gothika picked up what appeared to be a Dalmatian puppy. The puppy smiled and then licked her.
"Augh! Stop it!" Lady Gothika complained. "Dog slobber!"
"How in the world did a Dalmatian puppy get in there?" Green Lantern asked.
"I don't know, but get him away from me!" Lady Gothika complained as she set the dog down, wiping her face from the dog slobber.
"Let's see if he has a name tag; maybe it has a dog tag that can tell us where he's from." Cyborg said.
Sayia Man soon came over. The Dalmatian looked to him and seemed to walk up to him while panting.
"Hey there, boy." Saiya Man smiled down at the Dalmatian as he bent down to see if he had a dog tag.
The Dalmatian smiled back.
"Hmm... Let's see here..." Sayia Man said as he checked. "His name is... Patch."
"Does it say where he's from?" Superman asked.
"Cherry Tree Farm?" Sayia Man replied. "Oh, Patch, you're very far from home, aren't you?"
Patch smiled as he seemed to like Sayia Man already.
"If only he could talk so then he could tell us why or how he got in the submarine and away from his farm." Green Lantern said.
"Yeah, too bad animals can't talk." Lady Gothika commented.
Saiya Man soon remembered his latest vision and thought of trying to understand Patch.
Patch barked and smiled to Sayia Man until his barks were starting to sound like the English language. "Hi, there!"
"Can you tell me how you got in that submarine?" Saiya Man asked Patch.
"Hmm..." Patch paused for a moment. "I think I was outside with the others, and someone came the door... My brother Lucky said it seemed interesting, and we should sneak in his truck to see where he's going..."
"So then is your brother still in the submarine?" Saiya Man asked.
"Not just him, but maybe my other brother Rolly and our sister Cadpig," Patch replied. "We always go on crazy misadventures together."
"Is he actually talking to that puppy?" Flash asked Superman.
"I... I guess so." Superman replied.
"That kid needs help." Green Lantern scoffed.
"There are three more puppies in that submarine." Sayia Man told the rest of the team.
"Is that right?" Lady Gothika replied. "Well, then, let's just see."
They soon came to the submarine and found other Dalmatian puppies, and one of them seemed to actually be a chicken.
"I thought you said your sister Spot was with you?" Sayia Man said to Patch.
"Oh, Spot's not my sister," Patch replied. "Spot is our friend who wants to be a dog, but she's a chicken."
"Why is she called-" Saiya Man was about to ask before seeing the chicken had spots. "Never mind I see why she's called 'Spot'."
"There's a chicken here..." Lady Gothika said as she grabbed the chicken before smirking. "Dinner's on me, guys!"
"D-D-D-Dinner!?" Spot panicked.
Lady Gothika soon jumped down with the chicken. Lucky, Cadpig, and Rolly barked and glared at her for taking Spot like that.
"Oh! Shoo! Shoo!" Lady Gothika told the Dalmatian puppies.
"L.G., that's their friend, she's not going to be dinner." Saiya Man told her.
"Is that right?" Lady Gothika replied.
"Yes, that's right," Sayia Man said as he took Spot away from his best friend. "Are you okay?" he then asked the chicken.
"I... I guess so..." Spot replied.
"Do you have something to eat?" Rolly asked Saiya Man.
"You ate an hour ago." Lucky told the slightly overweight puppy.
"Well, sure, but that's like seven hours in doggy time!" Rolly pouted.
"Oh, Rolly, you shouldn't just think about food all the time," Cadpig smiled. "Think about having an exciting and brand new adventure in... Wherever we are right now."
"Can you tell us where we are?" Patch asked Saiya Man.
"Well, you're actually in a secret base that holds the members of a secret superhero group known as The Justice League of America." Sayia Man told the Dalmatian puppies.
"Um, okay, and where is that exactly, like, in what country?" Patch asked.
"I guess you guys aren't from America?" Sayia Man replied.
"Well, actually, before we lived on the farm, we used to live in London." Lucky clarified.
"So then I guess that means we're somewhere in one of the American states." Cadpig said.
"Is he seriously talking to those animals?" Wonder Woman asked Superman.
"It seems so." Superman nodded.
"Well, don't worry, we'll get you five back home." Saiya Man smiled at the puppies and chicken.
"Thanks." They replied, even though they were curious about being here.
"You'll stay with me for now." Sayia Man told them.
"Ahem!" Superman replied.
"Oh! Uh... Can I?" Sayia Man smiled innocently.
"Until we can get them back to where they belong, that would be a smart and kind thing to do." Diana said.
"Well, all right, but they are your responsibility." Superman told Sayia Man.
"YES!" Sayia Man beamed, sounding like the kid he was now. "Thanks, Dad-Erm... Superman!"
"No problem, kiddo." Superman smiled.
"Yeah, and is it just me or has he been talking to us and we've been talking right back to him like he understands us?" Rolly asked.
"I am, Rolly." Sayia Man smiled.
"Whoa!" The puppies smiled back.
"Hmm... There are strange hand-prints on this sub..." Sayia Man said as he went back to the case.
"I counted four dozen moving in sync." Flash said to him.
"Four squadrons. This was a choreographed onslaught." Batman suggested.
"Choreographed?" Cadpig asked out of confusion.
"It means organized like in a team effort." Sayia Man told Cadpig.
"Oh, okay." Cadpig replied.
"But who would want to attack a submarine?" Patch asked.
"You think Darkseid's army has returned?" Wonder Woman asked Batman.
"No, doesn't fit," Batman replied before facing Cyborg. "Walk us through your assault."
Cyborg nodded and then took them into another room. Patch and his siblings and Spot soon followed them.
They appeared to be in a secret room with a lot of cameras. Cyborg began to change the room to make it seem like they were underwater to show them what he had to tell them about.
"Kinda cool," Green Lantern commented. "Like watching a 3D movie with no glasses."
"Cool." Lucky smiled.
Someone began to swim by.
"Freeze," Batman said. "Observations?"
"They avoided his gaze, and kept to the elements by staying in the shadows." Lady Gothika said like a learning student.
"These were warriors." Wonder Woman added.
"Agreed," Batman replied. "Resume."
The video kept going. It seemed like two beings swam up to Cyborg and hit him.
"That looked like it hurt all over again." Captain Marvel winced.
"Who has the force to knock a quarter ton of metal to the ground under water?" Flash wondered.
"Heck if I know." Lady Gothika shrugged.
Cyborg then tried to fight back.
"Freeze," Green Lantern said. "That's a barrel roll. These guys are skilled in 360-degree combat."
"Agreed," Batman replied. "Note the sound sensitivity."
"These warriors must have been training a lot." Patch said.
"Makes sense," Flash reported. "Sound travels 4.3 times faster underwater."
Saiya Man noticed that the warriors on the video didn't have tail fins and became curious how they breathed underwater without any oxygen tanks.
"Kiss ass!" Green Lantern coughed with a smirk to Flash.
"Grow up." Lady Gothika glared.
"Resume." Batman demanded.
The video soon resumed. Cyborg was then attacked by the people in the water who didn't seem to be human. At least, not to Sayia Man.
"Freeze." Batman said.
"So that's what you look like..." Cyborg muttered to an enemy who was swimming away from him.
"What were those?" Lucky asked. "Humans?"
"Magnify." Batman demanded.
They soon took a closer look and the enemy appeared to have gills like a fish.
"Gills?" Captain Marvel asked. "As in... Mermaids?"
"As in Atlantis," Wonder Woman's eyes widened before she came to Cyborg. "Where is this?"
Cyborg took a scan as he made the images fade away before he gave her a sacred knife. Saiya Man knew now was the perfect time for the map.
"Wonder Woman, you seem to know about Atlantis." Lady Gothika commented.
"Indeed," Wonder Woman replied. "From the Tales of Atlantis I've read as a girl. It sunk into the ocean, but its people were saved by the magic of the King's trident which turned them irreversibly into creatures of the sea."
"That's a fairy tale." Green Lantern scoffed.
"No, it isn't." Sayia Man said.
"Aren't you too old to believe in fairy tales?" Green Lantern asked him.
Saiya Man decided to tell them about his new power, but decided to keep Sombra's meeting a secret and where he got the map after showing them it. Superman took the map and looked it over with Wonder Woman.
"So, where is it?" Cyborg asked.
"I don't believe this... I never thought I'd ever see a map for Atlantis." Wonder Woman commented.
"Where'd you get this map?" Superman asked Saiya Man.
"Oh, uh, it came to me, from a dream." Sayia Man replied innocently.
"A dream? Really?" Lady Gothika asked, unimpressed.
"Yes!" Sayia Man replied.
"Uh-huh...?" Lady Gothika said to him, suspiciously.
"Seriously!" Saiya Man replied.
"If you say so..." Lady Gothika rolled her eyes.
"This is madness!" Shazam commented.
"He's got that right." Rolly said.
"Look, just listen to me, okay?" Sayia Man replied to them. "I know what I'm doing."
"Alright, alright." Lady Gothika shrugged.
"Wonder Woman, I know how to get to Atlantis, you trust me, right?" Sayia Man asked.
"Well... I suppose I do." Wonder Woman replied.
"Then all we have to do is follow this map and we'll arrive at Atlantis." Saiya Man said.
"I have a question," Green Lantern spoke up. "What does a mythical, mystical undersea world need with missiles? And so, I dare you to say that five times fast."
"Obviously, they plan to attack us." Batman told him.
"But what reason could they have for attacking us?" Lady Gothika asked.
"Any way you look at it, it's bad." Green Lantern commented.
"I'm sure there's a reason for it." Sayia Man said to Lady Gothika.
"Uh, terrible idea," Shazam spoke up. "I saw an Atlantis show on the whatsit channel, with this professor. Maybe he can help us?"
"I have a map." Sayia Man reminded him.
"Yeah, but still if this guy knows something about Atlantis, we should see what he knows before following the map." Lady Gothika said.
"Hmm... I guess that's a good point." Sayia Man replied.
"Of course it is," Lady Gothika told him. "I'm brilliant."
"Anyways, where can we find this professor?" Saiya Man asked Shazam.
"We're at S.T.A.R.S Lab, the greatest minds on the planet are right next door." Green Lantern interrupted.
"...Jeez, I said terrible idea." Shazam muttered in defeat.
"Maybe it's not," Cyborg replied. "Dr. Stephen Shin, I'm scrubbing through his research. He's got some pretty out-there theories about the existence of Atlantis."
"That interesting I guess." Lucky said.
"Superman and I will go question Dr. Shin." Batman decided before walking off.
"When did we vote him team leader?" Superman grumbled.
"I don't think we ever voted him as team leader." Saiya Man said.
"Would you kids like to come along?" Superman asked Lady Gothika and Sayia Man.
"I guess I might as well." Lady Gothika shrugged to the Man of Steel.
"Sure." Saiya Man smiled.
The two then followed after the adult superhero men, leaving the others to themselves, wondering what to do.
'I know you can find Atlantis.' Sombra's voice said in Sayia Man's head.
'Thanks, Uncle Sombra.' Saiya Man thought to himself.
'You're welcome, my favorite nephew.' Sombra replied.
'Aren't I your only nephew?' Saiya Man thought to himself.
'You know what I mean.' Sombra chuckled.
'Yeah, I know.' Saiya Man thought to himself.
And so, they went off together while the other League members were left alone.
"Lady Gothika, stay close to me." Batman reminded.
"I'm not a baby bat." Lady Gothika grumbled slightly.
"I just don't want you getting yourself lost." Batman said.
"I won't get lost..." Lady Gothika replied. "Bruce, just because you're my godfather doesn't mean you have to baby me."
Batman sighed. "Teenagers..."
"Adults..." Lady Gothika sighed back.
Batman glanced to her before they came to where they were looking for while Sayia Man held onto his map of Atlantis.
"So, where did you really find that map?" Superman asked Saiya Man.
"W-What are you talking about?" Saiya Man stuttered as he avoided eye contact.
"Sayia Man, you know what I'm talking about." Superman told his foster son.
"Mm-mm..." Sayia Man shook his head.
"Sayia Man has the balls to lie to Superman again?" Lady Gothika commented.
"SHUT UP!" Sayia Man told her.
"I'm just saying." Lady Gothika shrugged.
"Sayia Man... Lady Gothika... Please..." Superman sighed to them.
"Like I said," Batman replied before sighing again. "Teenagers..."
Lady Gothika glanced to him as they explored.
"Tell me about it." Superman mumbled about Sayia Man's behavior, but at least he seemed better now, realizing what he had done was stupid and childish.
"Follow my lead." Batman said as he led the way through a window.
"Seriously who voted him leader?" Saiya Man whispered to Superman.
"I think he decided himself by unanimous decision." Superman whispered back.
"That seems unfair." Saiya Man whispered back.
"Don't worry, we'll survive." Superman reassured.
"You know, Batman, Superman is an investigative reporter." Sayia Man spoke up to the Dark Knight.
"Journalism's dead," Batman told him. "Someone got here first."
Lady Gothika soon caught up to Batman.
"What do you see?" Batman quizzed Lady Gothika.
"Hm... Seems to be ransacked," Lady Gothika replied. "Guess someone was looking for the same thing we were."
"Very good." Batman approved.
Lady Gothika visibly smiled to that.
"But who would be after information on Atlantis?" Saiya Man asked.
"Hmm... Someone who would wanna destroy Shin's life's work." Batman replied.
"That makes sense." Saiya Man said.
"Where could Shin be then?" Lady Gothika wondered.
"Probably dead." Batman guessed.
"How do you figure?" Superman asked him.
"You don't destroy someone's work and then let them live to recreate it." Batman replied.
"...Duh!" Lady Gothika then added.
"Guess we'll have to follow the map now." Saiya Man said.
"I guess we might have to." Batman said to him.
"It is the only other solution we have to finding the way to Atlantis." Lady Gothika said.
Lady Gothika stuck her tongue out to him slightly.
"Wait..." Superman said as he found something on the tank. "Hmm... Who is this?"
The others gathered around to see him looking at a man who had blonde hair.
"Whoever he is, he's got gills too." Batman noted.
"Then looks like we have a visitor from Atlantis." Saiya Man said.
"Cyborg, run your facial recognition program off this picture." Batman said through his earpiece.
'Roger that.' Cyborg replied before doing as he was told.
Saiya Man knew that Cyborg would get the results soon.
'His name's Arthur Curry.' Cyborg informed.
"I got a water-logged letter from a Thomas Curry, but it's illegible." Superman commented.
"Where can we find Arthur Curry?" Saiya Man asked Cyborg through his earpiece.
'Hmm... That's a good question... I'll look into that...' Cyborg replied.
"Alright." Saiya Man said.
"This Arthur Curry guy must've fallen off the radar." Lady Gothika crossed her arms.
'I cannot believe I am saying this, but your friend may be right.' Sombra's voice said to Saiya Man.
'Uh, Uncle Sombra?' Sayia Man replied through his thoughts.
'Hmm... I seem to be having trouble in finding Arthur Curry.' Cyborg told Sayia Man through the earpiece.
'Use your vision power to see if you can find out where Arthur Curry will be next.' Sombra told Saiya Man.
Sayia Man soon did just that.
'Now just concentrate on the name Arthur Curry, and your vision power will show you where he is.' Sombra's voice advised.
Sayia Man nodded his head as he tried to do that as Arthur Curry seemed to be missing, and where as he continued to say Arthur Curry's name in his head over and over, his vision power soon showed him where to find the person. He soon opened his eyes as he seemed to be underwater again. Could Arthur Curry be Atlantean somehow?
'Now I just have to see if I can find him somewhere around so I can tell the others.' Saiya Man thought to himself.
"Half-Atlantean?" Lady Gothika asked once she was told Arthur was rumored to be born as such.
"Seems that way." Superman said.
"As of right now, I am sick of Atlantis." Lady Gothika complained.
"We have to find out why they're attacking though." Saiya Man said.
"Tell me, Sayia Man, do you like detective work?" Batman asked.
"He's a total nerd about it." Lady Gothika smirked.
"It's true." Saiya Man said.
"I think you might enjoy this case then." Batman said to him.
"He used to always help solve many cases that couldn't be solved at the school." Lady Gothika said.
"I'm sure he has," Batman replied. "Bring him along."
"I'm already coming along." Saiya Man said.
"Come on." Batman replied.
"Do you really think I'm a nerd?" Sayia Man asked Lady Gothika.
"Yes, but you're my nerd." Lady Gothika replied in a heartwarming tone.
"Aw, thanks." Sayia Man smiled.
Lady Gothika hid a small smirk to him as they walked off. Saiya Man knew that she hid a smile. They soon left Shin's place once they had their information for right now, and now had a mysterious case known as Arthur Curry while Sayia Man found himself getting closer and closer to Atlantis, which, of course, was a good thing.
