  • At Pearl Harbor, the Nautilus takes on board Kate, who is both a nuclear physicist and a strong feminist. She may be able to provide advice regarding the radiation cylinders. The Raven, meanwhile, is running low on fuel. Cunningham heads for the Mindanao Trench where there are radiation canisters he can 'fish' for and use to re-power the Raven. Nemo intends to sail for Atlantis, but is persuaded to delay until he can stave off the danger posed by Cunningham once again. Nautilus pursues Raven, but Cunningham leads it off course and through an underwater minefield. There is a fight between Nemo and Dr Cook; Cook is killed. Nemo gets through the mines and then creates a clone of Nautilus via 'kinetic projection'. He sends the clone into the Mindanao Trench to fool Cunningham. Cunningham destroys the clone and thinks the Nautilus destroyed momentarily but then detects signs of life still aboard the real Nautilus. The Nautilus now heads for Atlantis and discovers its wondrous underwater ruins. Someone hails them, and Tibor, the King of Atlantis, comes aboard. He explains that Atlantis has been moved to underneath the ocean floor due to the prevalence of earthquakes. Nemo and Tibor swim out to Atlantis, while the rest of Nautilus's crew watch on viewscreens. Nemo meets the Atlantean Great Council, led by the antagonistic Trog. Nemo uses his energy weapon to destroy half a column, demonstrating his superior firepower. Tibor decides to trust Nemo, and both, with Atlantean councillors Sirak and Bork, return to the Nautilus only to find the crew 'frozen' motionless; this later proves to be due to Cunningham's 'Z ray' device. (en)
  • The Nautilus is now under outside control from Cunningham. Nemo manually activates the afterburners, but they are returned to the Raven. It is revealed that Cunningham had previously captured many Atlanteans, which is why the Great Council hates humans. Tom is already aboard the Raven and is controlled by Cunningham via a special headband. Cunningham plans to extract all of Nemo's knowledge, including of how the Nautilus' nuclear reactor works, become the foremost intellect in the world, and devastate all the world's capital cities. He plans to do this via twenty destructive orbs he calls 'crozar-elements'. Nemo projects a vision of the US Navy Head reminding Tom of their mission, and Tom manages to remove his controlling headband. He immediately 'freezes' Cunningham and his crew with the Z-ray gun and frees Nemo and King Tibor. Tibor and his two fellow Atlanteans take the minisub back to Atlantis. Tor unfreezes Cunningham and his crew, but Nemo and Tom escape the Raven in scuba gear and head for the Nautilus, chased by members of Cunningham's crew armed with underwater lasers. Nemo and Tom overpower one scuba diver and take his flare, which explodes, killing the rest of Cunningham's agents. Back on Nautilus, they unfreeze their own crew. Raven now fires its Delta beam at Nautilus. Nautilus fires back, destroying the Raven at last. In Atlantis, King Tibor bids them farewell, and Nemo promises not to return to Atlantis - it should "remain untouched by our progress." (en)
