The story begins as both the heroes and the vampires arrive simultaneously at Mister Miracle’s family location. Vampire-Aquaman has previously captured Scott Free and his daughter, whereas the heroes have found Big Barda. Aquaman, dispatched by Grodd to retrieve the child unharmed, chooses instead to drown her and Mister Miracle. Jayna, the sole remaining Wonder Twin, attempts to intervene but is halted when Mera appears and employs her water manipulation abilities to disrupt Jayna’s water creation, allowing Aquaman to drown Mister Miracle and the young girl.
The narrative starts with both heroes and vampires reaching Mister Miracle’s family at nearly the same moment. Vampire-Aquaman has already seized Scott Free and his daughter, while the heroes have discovered Big Barda. Aquaman, who was sent by Grodd to get the child alive, decides instead to drown them both, Mister Miracle included. Jayna, the last Wonder Twin, steps in to prevent him, but Mera intervenes and uses her water powers to halt Jayna’s water formation, enabling Aquaman to kill Mister Miracle and the little girl by drowning them.
