Triton and his daughters were interrupted by the horns sounding at the entrance of he castle. The King had invited the friends of King Author, whom are the Justice League. They had begun to arrive and King Author had agreed to meet them at the door.
Triton looked back at his daughters and saw the worry on their faces. Ariel still hugged his waist her eyes were more worried and a bit frighten. "My girls… You must understand I did what I did for the good of this family and as for my life with you I have no regrets." They look upon him with smiling faces now and understood his sacrifice.
"But your heart first met Ursula father." Attina cried. As wise as she is she would surely surpass her father's knowledge on love and to be loved. "I am only scared I would loose you all like I have lost all the loves in my life." Ariel looked at him with the eyes of Athena his dear departed wife, a twin that would forever warm his soul. "But I know now and I think your mother, may she rest with Poseidon, would want you to do the same. As Attina did beyond my better judgment, follow your heart my dears. I am not always right. I am King but I am merman first."
They were all in tears and took heed to their father's pearls of wisdom.
"Father, I think my heart is torn."
"What do you mean Ariel?"
"Well I-"
"Your Majesty, a thousand pardons for my intrusion." Sebastian bowed at the chamber door.
"What is it Sebastian." Triton answered after clearing the tears from his throat.
"The meeting has begun. We don't have much time sir. Ursula almost has all the Tritons another was stolen during your departure."
"WHAT?!"
"By a tow legged gator and a man of color also a two legger."
The frustrated King sighed. How was it even possible that the tridents were taken so quickly? Even without his knowledge. He knew Ursula was behind this and at this point it was almost impossible to reason with her or the Kings.
This was his entire fault. And he knew what had to be done.
Without a word he rose and left the room. Attina hugged her sisters and they all prayed for their father's safe return.
…
"If it's a war she wants she'll get it!" Eris declared. And even got other Kings to join in their wrath."
"King Triton will know what to do." King Wurren defended. "We need not go over the trenches and over throw laws.
"Poseidon should have killed her when he had the chance!" Eris roared again.
"She has become like the ripples of the surface. Her power is like her rage. Without proper love and nurturing she will not be tamed." Whatta was calm as if he knew something they did not. Eris was more than ready to get it out of him. When Triton and the Justice league joins them in the throne room. Each member wore a protective air bubble around their head so they may breath normally under water. Thanks to Green Lateran Hal Jordan, this was possible. To Triton left stood Superman, Wonder Woman and Aquaman. To his right were Martian Man hunter, Green Lateran and Black Canary. One was missing and surely he was almost there. Thou this was the majority was Batman's information was needed to know where they stood.
"The walls has been breeched even the walls of this castle has been triggered." The Kings gossiped amongst themselves as the Justice League disburses them selves around the chairs of the Kings and Queen. Aquaman took his seat on his thrown and Aqualad stood proudly at his side. " Everyone must assemble your armies but not into battle. Place them all of them around your families and I shall do the same for my own. This is a battle we can not fight."
"And why not?" cried Eris.
"YA!" they all joined.
"Do not be stubborn. You will die if you fight this. Ursula was not raised on the politics and comfort of Poseidon and what's worst she lost everything in his name. I-" he started to tell everything but knew this will only cause more chaos between each. "Ursula grew and lived in her rage that's many years of anger that can not be touched nor stopped and she has your Tridents." He said angrily.
Flounder enter with Sebastian. "Sir," flounder interrupted. "The guards are set and the chariots are awaiting."
"CHARIOTS?" Welsh said in confusion.
"Yes you all must return safely to your Kingdoms. Not one of you must be in any danger. And here I can not protect you all."
They all stood and King Kappa approached the siren of the wind Trident. "My friend. You can not do this alone."
"I will not be alone Kappa," He smiled touching a hand to his shoulder. "My father owes me one." He sighed.
In the middle of the room was a opening to the surface waters. Triton raised his trident to the sky closing his eyes before Poseidon and Zeus. Saying only this, "I am Triton. I yield the life of the ocean…" Once said the trident Triton was holding lit a golden light. Others Kings and Queen did the same raising their hands and closing their eyes. Meanwhile the Justice League watched in amazement. "I summon the power of all tridents. I summon Poseidon God of Water!"
As he wished it was done. Power seeped from the trident holders into the trident King Triton. He held on with all he could just the light stopped. From the glowing surface waters Poseidon slowly made entrance into the throne room, until he stood like a hologram in the center of all to see. The Kings and Queen all bowed in respect. Needless to say the Justice League followed suit not to anger the God.
"That is amazing…" Wonder Woman said.
"Handsome," said Canary
"Eh I seen better," said both Green Lateran and Superman.
"Shhh." Spat Aquaman.
Just before Poseidon spoke he surveyed all before him. Triton went to his side and kneeled again.
"Raise my child. You have done well and I have wronged you." Poseidon spoke a voice deep and baritone. He placed a hand on the shoulder of Triton and saw his hair was as silver as his own. "You have grown wise. And I am sorry that I am the cause of your broken heart." It was then Triton met his father's eyes. "Go to her and heal her like you have been healed. Athena will rest peacefully knowing this. She sends her love." He smiled and the room was in silence. "There is one soldier of dark that will bring light to your worries my son. You must not follow in my steps. You are a great king Triton. But you are a father first."
Just then Batman opens the doors to the throne room and with him is the messenger they had all awaited. Bruce notices all eyes were on him and was fairly confused. Especially baffled by the huge blue glowing man in the middle of the room. "Uh. Sorry I'm late. Had to bring a date." He said.
Martian looked over to him and shared a thought. "This is the God of all the ocean Batman. Show some respect and kneel."
"It's not like it was on a invitation," Bruce thought.
Canary linked in as well. "Just kneel you idiot!"
"Okay. Okay." He said before kneeling and out loudly saying. "My humble pardons your majesty and your graces. I have news that can help in your pursuit of Ursula."
The kings and queen gossiped once again amongst themselves. Poseidon silences them all with a raise of his hand. "Go forth with your command my son and the Gods will follow you." Moments later Poseidon left the building but not before granted underwater breathing to each one of the team. All the kings and queen Eris were left with peace and understanding. Meanwhile the entire Justice League was linked in to Martian's mind commute, as each got ready to escort the royals to their palace.
Wonder Woman took Queen Eris.
King Kappa and Black Canary went to China.
Welsh and Superman were on their way.
King Whatta and Martian were on their way to Africa.
Green Lateran took King Wurren to his Trenches.
However Aquaman, Aqualad, Batman and the Riddler stayed put. Author's family was here. He kingdom was already protected. Attina was his main concern. And for Bruce he dreaded his meeting with the princesses. One in particular Ariel.
"Hey what if the Poseidon was talking about Batman?" said Green Lateran on the mind link.
"Could be…" Wonder Woman said.
"I think so," said Canary.
"Eh I would have chose better," said both Superman and Green Lateran.
"What are you guys talking about?" asked Bruce.
"Would you guys please shut up?" Spat Aquaman.
"I'm closing this link."
"No, it's okay. I was just asking."
…
From across the room King Triton mentally prepared for what he had to face. A life long of apologies.
He turned slowly only to be met by the sight of Batman talking to Aquaman and holding in custody the guy with all the answers. He swam upon them only focused on Batman. "King Author, find out what you can from the prisoner. You my friend," he said referring to Batman. "We have to talk."
