Gargoyle's Neo Atlantean battleships have trailed the companions to Tartessos. Nadia surrenders herself and the Blue Water to Gargoyle… but not before making the latter promise to spare her friends. Gargoyle goes back on his word anyway and orders his battleships to attack the companions. Jean and the others try to flee in the Gratan until they find themselves falling inexorably into a bottomless shaft. Just then, a mysterious force field snags the tank in mid-air and lands them safely on the ground. Their rescuer turns out to be none other than Electra, who informs them that Captain Nemo is still alive and well. She takes the companions aboard New Nautilus, a super-charged massive battleship with powerful electromagnetic turrets. However, the confrontation between Nemo and Gargoyle does not go well, and results with the captain reluctantly surrendering his own Blue Water to his enemy. Gargoyle then destroys Tartessos with a powerful blast and takes Nadia into the skies.
