Aquaman and Dolphin went to a lost city of Atlanteans in the Himalayas to seek their support in an upcoming threat to the planet by the Hunters, but Ocean Master captured them. Garth left Atlan's otherdimensional home, having aged four years because time flowed differently there, and came to their rescue. The heroes fought Ocean Master's Atlanteans, and Ocean Master exploded their mountain stronghold in an explosion of power. Tempest brought Aquaman and Dolphin to the lost Atlantean city of Thierna na Oge. Aquaman met their queen Nuala Siulverarm, who already knew of the threat to Earth and pledged her support. Garth told Dolphin he'd missed her every day he was away and kissed her. A skull-shaped Hunter ship approached Na Oge, discharging soldiers that the heroes defeated. Aquaman concluded that the skirmish was merely meant to test their mettle.

Things got worse when a monsoon hit, and Tempest accidentally froze the T-Jet when he tried to create an ice-shield to protect it from the storm. The team sought shelter in a cave, where they discovered the Gargoyle, who'd been exacerbating their negative feelings. The Titans were taken to Limbo, where they were de-aged to their thirteen year old selves from when they first became Teen Titans. After reliving some of their childhood memories they battled the Gargoyle, but the Gargoyle took a fall, he wanted them to stay angry at each other, which would ensue their imprisonment in Limbo. While the rest of the Titans worked out their problems Arsenal told them Limbo was about stagnation, and that sometimes friends had to disagree to make each other better. To make an example he told Nightwing he was sick of hearing about Batman all the time and decked him. With that they were transported out of Limbo.

Tempest drew on his skills as an ambassador to discuss a peace pact with the Gordanians. The Titans came to rescue Tempest, but he told them he was staying put until his negotiation was over. Just then the main Gordanian army arrived on the planet, and the Titans were forced to surrender.

Thanks to Tempests' diplomacy the war ended, and the Titans returned to Earth.
