male who has dared to call Platinum beautiful giving Tina a chance
to escape. The queen vows to recapture Gold and visits Neptune the King of the seas to ask permission to re capture Gold which he agrees to and goes further vowing that every living creature and the waters themselves will aid the Floating Fury.

lifted bodily back to the ocean to be transferred into a giant
waterspout. Lead anchors himself to a rock and the Metal Men form a

explode. The seas calm down and the Metal Men recover Iron and take
him to the lab for repairs, Tina needs repairs as well because of
