This match takes place in the City of Atlantis.

We start with Ashoka’s Acrobatic Assassins as they spawn into Atlantis, immediately three Elves, twenty Orcs and six Uruk Hai realize that they are underwater and immediately start swimming up to the surface to breathe. The Orcs and Uruk Hai aren’t able to hold their breath long enough and drown before they can reach the surface. The Elves are able to hold their breath long enough to make it to the surface but then succumb to Decompression Sickness as their bodies are not used to such high pressures of the deep sea. They reached sea level too quickly, thus causing Nitrogen Bubbles to form in their brain and death.  

The Midgets spawn in and Mimic realizes he’s under water, thankfully his mimic abilities give him gills from Jaws. The Combaticons and Stunticons immediately combine to become Bruticus and Menasor. Avatar Korra, Katara, Desna and Eska work together to take on Menasor, while John Stewart, Indigo-1, and Munk work together to combat Bruticus. 

The water benders first try to combat Menasor by freezing trying to freeze the giant transformer in place but that does not work as it just easily breaks the frozen water every time. Menasor is annoyed with the frozen water and takes a slash at the benders with his sword killing both Desna and Eska. Korra becomes enraged after seeing her cousins killed and becomes enraged as she attacks Menasor with a flurry of water bending attacks. Katara also does the same. Martian Manhunter sees the water benders struggling with the large transformer. Then out of the corner of his eye he sees a trident laying on the ground, so he grabs it and goes to help out the benders. He comes speeding across the back of Menasor and slashes the Trident across the back of the transformer causing significant damage. Then Katara starts hitting Menasor with Blue Lantern energy blasts while Martian Manhunter hits the Mechanical Beast with more and more attacks from his trident. Eventually the damage it has taken has become too critical and the beast is slayed.

Michelangelo sees this naked glowing blue dude and convinces Toad, Blue Toad, and Yellow Toad to come help him take him on. Michelangelo’s convincing argument was “it’s just a glowing blue dude, what’s the worst he could do”. The group confronts the dude not realizing it’s Dr. Manhattan. Michelangelo makes some jokes about Dr. Manhattan. He is thoroughly annoyed by the group so he just decides to vaporize Michaelangelo, Toad, Blue Toad, and Yellow Toad.  

Mimic sees what Vampire Dr. Manhattan does to his teammates and decides to mimic his abilities. Mimic then begins to try and vaporize Dr. Manhattan but the doctor pushes back and is trying to defend his vaporization. The OA Guardians and Yellow Lanterns see Mimic struggling and decide to hit Dr. Manhattan with energy blasts and eventually it is just too much energy for Dr. Manhattan perishes to the squad.

Water Bender #1 sees Katara across the battlefield (or whatever it’s called underwater) and decides to attack Katara. Though the attack was futile as Katara is a much better bender and basically toys with the bender before making a sharp spear shaped chunk of frozen water and propelling it through the chest of the Water Bender.

Jaws is hungry so it decides to eat Joan Jett. 

Jaws is still hungry so it decides to eat the two OA Guardians.

Martian Manhunter and Miss Martian team up to attack Mimic. Mimic is able to copy all of the Martian's abilities but is also able to increase his intelligence by being in range of Martian Manhunter. At first the wombo combo of the two martian’s struggled with Mimic but eventually overpowered Mimic as Martian Manhunter's proficiency with a Trident was just too much for the power hungry Mimic.

As that was going on John Stewart, Indigo-1 and Munk are still trying to defeat Bruticus but they are struggling as the Transformer is just too large. The lanterns are getting tired and the Stunticons notice, so they grab Munk and rip him in half. Bruticus then shoots Jaws with an energy blast from their gun killing Jaws.

The 5 Allicons, Thundercracker, Seaspray and Skywarp start attacking Avatar Korra, Katara, Martian Manhunter and Miss Martian. The transformers are too much right off the bat for Katara and kill her immediately by a large chomp from one of the Allicons. Korra uses her water bending to hit one of the Allicons with a powerful water strike that blows it up. Miss Martian rips the jaw open of another Allicon, killing it, while Martian Manhunter speeds through the rest of the Allicons with his Trident and destroys them all. Miss Martian then uses her super speed to swim right through Seaspray with immense power and blow the transformer up. Thundercracker and Skywarp then team up to shoot their blasters at Miss Martian and kill her as she was slightly weakened from the fire from the explosion that she caused of Seaspray. 

While Martian Manhunter was fighting the transformers Abe Sapien has stealthed behind Avatar Korra and uses a B.P.R.D. issued underwater rifle to shoot Avatar Korra in the back of her head.

Martian Manhunter, now outmanned, has to face Thundercracker and Skywarp by himself. At first he struggles against the two Transformers, but his intelligence is just too high as he is able to easily predict every move the transformers make. The Transformers just keep shooting energy blasts from their built in blasters and eventually Martian Manhunter is able to get them facing each other with himself in between them and he dodges at the last second and the Transformers shoot and kill each other. Martian Manhunter then goes to help the remaining Acrobats with Bruticus.

Indigo-1 and John Stewart are clearly exhausted at this point as they have been battling with Bruticus for quite some time. Indigo-1 is so tired that she’s struggling to keep her force field up just so she can breathe underwater. Abe Sapien notices this and sets up upon an underwater hill to line up the shot with his rifle. Indigo-1’s force field keeps having little holes show up in her force field and Abe Sapien times up the shot and shoots at Indigo-1 and strikes her in the back killing her. Abe Sapien is now 2 for 2 on shots in this match. Martian Manhunter sees the trail from the rifle shot and flies up to Abe Sapien and stabs him with the Trident. 

Now it’s just John Stewart and Martian Manhunter left versus the Combaticons. John Stewart has become even weaker now and can’t defend himself anymore against Bruticus as the large Transformer hits John Stewart with a shot from it’s blaster and kills him. 

Martian Manhunter is all that’s left to face Bruticus. Just as he’s about to attack the Transformer, the sea currents begin to move violently as Poseidon has awakened to help Martian Manhunter. Poseidon uses all of his power to control the currents and pick up the Combaticons and throws them violently into a large rock formation, destroying Bruticus. This much power used by Poseidon kills him.
