Kaldur had fought many battles in his time with Aquaman, but never had he been present at the beginning of an alien invasion. It was a childish, selfish thought to have in a situation like this, but even he was known to be a kid now and again. He was here at ground zero of a new incursion, and he was going to be the one to stop it, whether these big, green monsters knew it or not. They were up against a son of Atlantis, and he was formidable indeed.

Unfortunately for the formidable son of Atlantis, the entire squad of extraterrestrials turned their weapons on him and fired. Kaldur'ahm was forced to dive behind a collapsed wall of concrete in order to survive. The laser blasts took chunks out of the wall, and he felt the pebbles bouncing off his arms and forehead as the wall was whittled down. He wouldn't be able to stay here for long, and needed a plan about as much as a whale needed a breath after being submerged for too long.

He had the water he had picked up in the street further back, but without getting close to the creatures that wouldn't do much. He scanned the area for any possible advantage against his enemies. He saw it in the form of a street light that stood right above their position, but within his reach.

Summoning the water from inside the containers he wore on his back, Kaldur lashed out with the magically-hardened water. The liquid was thin as a razor by the time it reached the light pole, but that's all he needed. The magical skills he had learned from Queen Mera were enough, and the water sliced through the metal of the pole almost effortlessly. With a groan, the heavy metal column came crashing down towards the aliens, sending them scattering. 

He took the opportunity to vault to his feet and rush the invaders, recollecting his water and forming it into two short swords in his hands. When he reached the aliens, the one closest was regaining his feet. Kaldur sliced through its weapon like butter before it could raise it up to fire. He followed that up with a kick to its gut, which sent it tumbling into two of its comrades.

The problem was the other two that had already swung their weapons around to face him. He turned the water in his hands to a shield, which deflected one of the shots, but that bolt itself weakened his spell. The second bolt shattered through the shield and struck him in the shoulder sending a lightning bolt of pain through his body. He dropped to his knees and could hear the creatures talking to one another.

Whatever they were saying could not be a good thing.
