[Mark and Nolan are playing catch while throwing a baseball around the world]
I'm fine. Just got... a lot on my mind, I guess.
Oh, yeah? So, what is it?
You're just gonna keep prying if I'm evasive at all, so, um... I'm scared, Dad. What if I can't do this?
[hearing a whooshing] You hear it?
Get ready. [Mark grabs the baseball] Were you nervous?
Being a superhero is no different. This is the beginning of a long journey for you and me. Along the way, you're gonna need to do things you don't want to do, or might not think you can do. It's okay to be scared. It's natural to doubt yourself, but if you can push through that, and do what needs to be done, you'll do just fine. Do you think you can do that, Mark?
Yeah. [throws the baseball around the world, hitting and wrecking the top of a mountain, and Nolan grabs the baseball]
Son... kids your age think they're invincible, and it holds them back, makes them careless. The thing is... you're different. You actually are... [hands Mark the burnt baseball] .. invincible.
[feeling inspired, Mark smiles. Next scene, he is on Art Rosenbaum's lab]
ARArt Rosenbaum
Okay, kid. Let's get to work.
[next scene, Mark is in his new suit, and flies around the city, with sequence followed by the song "Broken Boy" by Cage the Elephant. Then, he sees an explosion on the distance]
[Invincible flies off for the situation, which involves Killcannon having a shootout against the police]
KKillcannon
You guys think you might have bitten off more than you can chew? [points at a building he zapped] That building has a hole in it, look! [the policemen continue shooting his armor, until Killcannon prepares to shoot again]
PPoliceman
Shit! [avoids the shot, but is knocked unconscious]
[just as Killcannon is about to fire again, Invincible emerges and punches through several walls]
[checking the rooms, which are clear from citizens] Whoa... All clear? [continues pouncing Killcannon, and defeats him] You might as well give up. I'm-- [title card is presented]
[the Guardians of the Globe are summoned to their facility]
Darkwing, why did you call us here?
WWWar Woman
So none of us signaled the alert?
GGGreen Ghost
Oh, God, what's going on? Is it bad?
[Red Rush suddenly notices someone flying towards the Immortal, and saves him. The attacker is revealed to be Omni-Man, to the Guardians' shock]
[the Guardians, starting with War Woman, begin fighting Omni-Man, with Red Rush preventing his attacks. Then, Omni-Man grabs Red Rush and begins squeezing his head with his bare hands, horrifically crushing his skull]
NO!! [Martian Man wraps himself around Omni-Man, and the remaining Guardians] WHY HAVE YOU DONE THIS?! [he and War Woman begin beating Omni-Man violently, until he breaks free, and overpowers War Woman before grabbing Darkwing's leg, and smashing his head to pieces against the floor. Then, he tosses Darkwing's body to Green Ghost]
GGGreen Ghost
(horror-struck) Oh, no...!
[immediately, Omni-Man drives his fist through Green Ghost's skull, killing her, and uses her body as a shield against Aquarus's water attack as Martian Man recovers]
AAquarus
[to Martian Man] Are you alright?
[helping War Woman up] Someone must be controlling him. He would never do this.
WWWar Woman
Regardless, it's him or us.
[the fight continues with War Woman slamming Omni-Man's face with her mace. After punching her away, Omni-Man grabs her mace, and smashes Aquarus's head with it, killing him. An enraged Martian Man roars, and once again traps and subdues Omni-Man briefly while the two remaining Guardians, The Immortal and War Woman, batter him, drawing whole puddles of blood in the room. Eventually, Omni-Man rips Martian Man's head to pieces, punches a hole through The Immortal's stomach, and breaks War Woman's neck]
(exhales and whispers) Why? Why?!
[without saying a word, Omni-Man decapitates the Immortal and, heavily injured, collapses himself in exhaustion]
[after a flight around the city, Atom Eve welcomes Invincible to the Team Teen's headquarters]
Oh, hey! It's the iceman.
Couldn't have won that fight without you. Oh! Except we did.
DKDupli-Kate
They got old. And ran away.
RRobot
Welcome, Invincible. My name is Robot. Apologies for Rex Splode. He's...
Dupli-Kates #1 and #2: [unison] I'm Dupli-Kate.
Invincible. Which one of you do I look at when we talk?
[confronting the Flaxans in their home-planet] You don't seem to understand. Earth isn't yours to conquer. [he then proceeds to savagely lay waste on the Flaxans' world]
[in a speech for the Guardians of the Globe's televised funeral] I've fought the unimaginable in defense of this world. I've battled alien tyrants, defeated nightmares from the deep. Gone toe to toe with ancient gods... but no matter what threat I faced, I knew I wasn't facing it alone. Darkwing. Aquarus. War Woman. Green Ghost. Red Rush. Martian Man. Immortal. The Guardians of the Globe. Today, we have lost titans, protectors, heroes, and we are left to wonder... who will save us now? I will, and so will others like me. New heroes answering the call. New champions ready to risk everything to keep this planet safe. All inspired by these great souls who came before us. You will have moments of doubt, of fear, of uncertainty, but in those moments, have faith... [lifts off] and look to the sky. [flies away]
[next scene, the Graysons attend to the Guardians' private burial along with Eve, and the Guardians' loved ones]
We seriously have to put everyone through this again?
SESamantha Eve Wilkins
The big one's for show, but the public can't know where the actual bodies are buried. Souvenir hunters.
I was never a Guardian of the Globe, but it was the Guardians who welcomed me when I first arrived on this planet. They were my mentors. My comrades. My friends. They knew the reality of this life. Martian Man was exiled from his own people. War Woman was from a different age. Darkwing... [chuckles ruefully and clears throat] Well, Darkwing made his own kind of solitude. It was a rare, lucky few of us who found someone who understood our path, even rarer if they accepted it. I hope they will rest in peace, but at least they will rest together.
[the coffins are buried in the holes, as Red Rush's widow Olga, still sobbing, tries to reach her husband's coffin, with Cecil and Ferguson trying to stop her]
OOlga
Get your hands off me! [screams in anguish as she falls off]
OOlga
You wouldn't even let me see him. Josef is finally standing still, and I still can't see him!
Yeah. [Debbie comforts Olga]
SESamantha Eve Wilkins
[to Mark] You okay?
Me? I... I dunno. It just doesn't seem real. [noticing Olga] That could have been my mom, putting my dad in one of those holes, or me. If this could happen to the Guardians of the Globe, it means that none of us are... [title card is presented with somber music]
[Nolan confronts detective Darkblood in his office]
You were in my house. You frightened my wife.
You murdered seven people.
Maybe it was you. Maybe you came to finish the job you started with the Guardians. You're the demon, after all.
Hmm... and demons know evil when they see it.
If you threaten my family again with your conspiracy theory bullshit...
I won't have to. Who do you think they're gonna believe? Me or you. [covers next to the door]
[exhales, growling] Won't give up, Nolan. Can't hide truth. Wife already suspects. How long until son does, too?
Go fuck yourself, Darkblood. [boosts out of the office]
[on Titan misspelling his name] You missed a few letters.
TTitan
Paint costs money and you got a long-ass name.
Why would you tell Mark that saving lives is beneath him?
Other people save lives. Mark saves millions.
[A drunken Doug Cheston awakens in a laboratory]
DCDoug Cheston
What the...? Hey, where am I?
DSD.A. Sinclair
Oh, hello. [chuckles] I know, you're confused, but I'm sure you're used to that. Just stay quiet and still, and soon you'll be feeling better than ever.
Doug Cheston What? What's going on?
DSD.A Sinclair
You're going through a metamorphosis, a miracle that will take you from useless boil on the behind of this crooked world, to a brave explorer charting a shining future for all humanity--
DCDoug Cheston
[interrupts] NERD! [guffaws] Who talks like that?! You do! You're a nerd, nerd! [soon finds out he is trapped in a table] Hey! Let me up, asshole! If this is some joke, or some weird sex shit, my dad's gonna sue you into the Stone Age! [lights reveal unfinished cyborg prototypes; horrified] Oh, Jesus! Oh! Oh, shit! [he then notices one of his hands is replaced with a cybernetic limb, and screams in panic] WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?!
DSD.A. Sinclair
No histrionics, please.
DCDoug Cheston
WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO?!
DSD.A. Sinclair
Or I'll be forced to...
DCDoug Cheston
OH, MY GOD!!! [Sinclair slices Doug's throat with a knife]
DSD.A. Sinclair
I think we can all agree you're better without vocal cords... and don't worry about those prototypes. You're going to be different. You're going to be beautiful. You're going to be...
[title card is presented]
[Nolan returns home to find Debbie drinking and obviously devastated]
Josef, Darkwing, War Woman, the others. Why did you do it?
[breaks her glass in anger] DON'T LIE TO ME!!! I know! I KNOW YOU KILLED THEM, NOLAN!!!
[dismissively] You're drunk. We'll talk about this tomorrow--
[Debbie throws the whole wine bottle at him, which he catches. She then marches straight up to him, glaring right into his eyes.]
DGDeborah Grayson
Fuck you, Nolan.
[She goes upstairs to her room, slamming the door. Frustrated, Nolan breaks the bottle by clenching his hand, punches a hole in a wall, then quietly sits down.]
Where's Mark, Debbie? Where's...?
[title card is presented with suspenseful music]
[William is driving in the neighborhood until something lands violently in the road, causing him to stop his car]
WCWilliam Clockwell
What the hell was that? [the dust clears, revealing the subject to be Omni-Man; stammering] O-Omni... Uh, Mr. Grayson... Are you okay? You look kinda, uh... recently on fire.
[pats William's car roof, and looks at the backseats] Where's Mark, William? You were supposed to drop him off an hour ago.
WCWilliam Clockwell
Uh, Amber dumped him, and he didn't like my advice, so he went to go find Eve.
WCWilliam Clockwell
His phone's broken. There was this attack at the college, and... and all of a sudden, we were... [interrupted by Omni-Man punching the car roof]
WCWilliam Clockwell
Uh... Mark said she got a place out in the woods, a couple hundred miles west of here. [notices Omni-Man's hands] That's not... blood on you, is it? [Omni-Man flies away in silence] Bye?
[Cecil dodges Omni-Man's attacks with teleportation]
[chuckles slightly] I've faced death more times than I can count, but I'll be damned if that didn't put my balls in my throat.
This is pointless! You can't stop me.
Yeah, you're right, I can't. But I can do the same thing I've been doing since I figured out you were a lying piece of shit: I can buy us a little more time.
[after a brutal battle, Omni-Man savagely impales the Immortal's chest with a single punch, with the world watching in horror on live television. Immortal sticks his thumbs into Omni-Man's eyes in an attempt to blind him. In agony, Omni-Man eventually manages to kill the hero once more, tirefully and horrifically bisecting him and dropping his halved body]
[bewildered with the shocking scene] Dad?
[with bloodshot eyes, he addresses to his son] Mark... we need to talk.
