Gracias amigo. Umm, who are you?
The guy who'll save your butts if you listen carefully.
So you see, G. Gordon, the Reach is all about intergalactic brotherhood.
A lovely sentiment. So, please explain to the good folks at home how it squares with the lies you told us, and the fleet of warships you hid beneath our oceans!
I think you're forgetting that those ships helped Blue Beetle save the Earth from--
[Gordon plays a clip of one of the Ambassador's previous speeches]
[in clip] Unfortunately, the Reach only has this single ship, designed for peaceful exploration and diplomacy and unequipped with any weapons.
Now, I don't know how you'd call that on your world, Ambassador, but on planet Earth, we call it a bold-faced lie! How many more lies are you hiding beneath our seas? And how much more propaganda will you ask the human race to swallow and wash down with a nice cold Reach?!
(Arsenal is trying to open a stasis-pod while the Runaways battle Black Beetle)
We're throwing everything we've got at this desperado, and barely holding our own. Shouldn't we be freeing some of the good guys?
No. (Arsenal fires at the pod and releases Mongul)
Aah, amigo, you don't seem clear on who we're here to rescue.
Trust me, I'm clear. (Black notices Mongul's release)
Mongul! This is all your fault!
Reach. (The two engage in hand-to-hand combat)
(Nightwing arrives when Arsenal and the Runaways free the team)
Hey fearless leader. Better late than never.
Everyone okay?
For now.
The Crystal Key?
Gone. (Mongul and Black land a few yards away) And we better get gone too, before one of them declares a winner!
Don't you get it? He didn't care if you rescued the Team! He was using you...as a distraction to lure Black Beetle away from the crystal key so one of his other pawns could steal it!
Mmm, Deathstroke's more of a bishop actually.
I'm sorry your fellow prisoners and their saviors fled. I was looking forward to eighteen against one.
That's not the way I talk, and stop waving, I look like the Queen of England. (places hands on hips) Great, now I'm Peter Pan.
Enjoy your advantage while you can. The Reach tracked my every move. And when we're through with you, there won't be enough left for a DNA identification.
Nice death threat. Could it get any more technical and dull?
Scarab, you don't have to do this!
But he does, and so do you. In fact, it will be a good lesson to you to helplessly observe your own body murder your former friends. The first kills are always the hardest my boy. Might as well get them over with.
Girlfriend, someday you have to tell me how you figure out those backwards words so fast.
Maybe backwards is my native tongue?
But Garrett still inspired Ted to become the second Blue Beetle. Even with no super powers.
I hear those are optional.
You managed to keep your mouth shut? You?
Hey, making sure you stayed a hero was the main reason I came back to the past. So, I was motivated to keep my mouth off-mode. Don't you get used to it now!
If I may respond?
No, you may not. Manta, keep your whelp meat silent.
Beetle, your insolence grows progressively less...charming.
Remember, the Earth is now the property of the Reach, and per our origninal agreement, the Light is merely our favored allies amoungst the humans.
Show the proper respect, or suffer the consequences.
No agreement exists that makes a slave of Black Manta.
No agreement exists that guarantees the life of Black Manta.
Manta guarantees that himself. (Both ready their weapons)
It would seem we have a stand-off.
No, we don't. (Attacks Manta, and a fight breaks out)
If you are watching this, then your summit is truly over. The Light and the Reach deserve each other. Both sides play at being partners. But the Reach believes the Light to be their naive tools of conquest, when in fact the Light has manipulated the Reach from day one.
Shut this off.
How?
It was the Light that brought Earth to the Reach's attention by sending the Justice League to Rimbor. The Light set their trap, and the Reach snapped at the bait, fulfilling the Light's desire to thrust our world into the galactic spotlight. Part of their perverse survival-of-the-fittest scheme for the planet, which they believe will transform the Earth and the Light into the eventual rulers of the Milky Way. Though the Light made a deal to help the Reach take Earth, They have also sabotaged the Reach's efforts. They kept the advanced meta-genes out of the Reach's hands. They added a neutralizing agent to the Reach's drink so Earth's population would not become servile. They turned public opinion against the Reach, and they intentionally allowed the Team access to the scarab temple to cleanse Blue and Green Beetle. So, you see, any agenda either side imagined they shared was nothing but a carefully crafted illusion. I trust I have shattered that illusion, as well as whatever remains of this sorry alliance. Good night. (shuts off)
Kaldur. Kaldur, what have you done?
He has in death done more to damage my plans than any living creature has wrought in 50,000 years. I'd be impressed if I wasn't so...
AAH! You earthlings are a pestilence and a plague! You dare sabotage us?! Dare betray US?! Have you forgotten who controls the WarWorld? The Light is fortunate that we do not carve up your planet as we speak!
That would indeed impress, as I have the WarWorld's crystal key!
That was all I needed to know.
Kaldur, you're...
Alive, yes.
(To Ra's Al Ghul to help her up) If you would? Uh. And I always heard how the "Great One" was such a gentleman.
Impossible. Deathstroke killed you both!
Just for a little while. After all, I wouldn't want to do any permanent damage... (Shifts into Miss Martian, and telekinitically holds a sword to Savage's throat.)
...To my best friends. Not when a little misdirection and Hollywood special effects will do instead.
For we value our true friends, and unlike you, we are not short on them.
(The rest of the Team arrive)
