A caged Kraken was one of many monsters under the watchful eye of Queen Hippolyta of the Amazons. In the present day, she tasked her sister Antiope with changing the lock on the Kraken's underwater cage before a Friday came. Antiope was so enamored with the world of man, she neglected her duty. The Kraken broke free from its cage and rose up near the Metropolis Pier. The Kraken marched onto the city. The girls suited up and attempted to stop its rampage. Zatanna cast a beam, Green Lantern fired a ball and chain construct to confine another tentacle, Batgirl fired her grapnel line around another tentacle then tired the line around a bench and pole like a web then sat down, Wonder Woman attacked its eyes then threw out her Lasso of Truth around another tentacle after she landed on a roof, and Bumblebee flew around it as a distraction. Wonder Woman gave the signal. Supergirl flew straight into the Kraken but she did no damage and bounced right off. Wonder Woman caught her. Supergirl grimaced and was annoyed the Kraken had impervious magic skin.
The Kraken broke free and continued on. Antiope pointed out they needed to journey to Greece, secure a Gorgon's head, then turn the Kraken to stone. Wonder Woman was annoyed and yelled they had no time for that. Antiope presented an alternative, feed a beautiful maiden to it and suggested drawing straws. They glared at her. Wonder Woman told her to think of another way. Antiope stammered she didn't spend her life studying Krakens. Wonder Woman suddenly remembered the third way to stop the Kraken. The girls regrouped at Metropolis High and wore togas. Wonder Woman drew a glyph on the ground then instructed everyone to focus and join hands around it. Wonder Woman then recited an incantation, "From eternal darkness deep below...let the Stygian Bloom of Hypnos grow!" The glyph lit up as the Kraken approached. They all levitated above the glyph. A fissure formed in the center of it and a Stygian Bloom surfaced through it. Batgirl didn't understand what the big deal was.
Wonder Woman picked it up and gave Supergirl the signal. Supergirl tore the toga off her costume and threw Wonder Woman at the Kraken. En route, she crushed the flower into a powder and blew it in the monster's face. The Kraken fell asleep and landed on top of Metropolis High. Antiope declared victory and held up her hand for high fives but none were given. Bumblebee pointed out finals were probably canceled. Antiope cheered again. They all turned towards Antiope. She tried to leave but Wonder Woman, as princess of the Amazons, gave her a command. Antiope noted she sounded like her mother. Wonder Woman knew that. Antiope struggled to drag the sleeping Kraken across the city and back to its cage. She fell to her knees and was crushed by a tentacle in front of a sushi bar. She asked some scared teenagers for some help.
