Young Justice · Season 1
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)
Hey there, Vandy! you missed me?
I've had my fill of your interference. Do not expect to survive. Kill them all. Superboy may present a problem, but we'll deal with him when the other children lie bleeding on the ground.
Still you refer to us as children. No wonder our successes mount. You consistently underestimate us.
I so wanna kiss you now... or maybe kill you for putting us through all this!
Hold that thought. You can decide later, (flirtatiously) when we're alone.
Ignorant boy! This is not a world, a universe, in which a free man can afford to be soft. I will teach you to be ruthless, Kaldur'ahm, even if I must beat that lesson into your skull.
What was that for?
(hugging her) I'm still just so glad you're alive! And that Aqualad's not a traitor! No more faking anyone's death for at least a year, okay?
Yeah, seconded.
Agreed.
(Black Beetle is fighting Blue and Green Beetle)
I had hoped to put you back on mode, but it seems all four of you are corrupt.
You are the one who is corrupted. But my Scarab will reset yours, freeing you from the Reach's control. :(Green's Scarab taps into Black's)
Freedom is over-rated. (Black sends a signal back to Green, and destroys his scarab) Martians. I hate your kind. Most meat would die from having their Scarab destroyed, but you'll survive, for a while. (He activates his plasma cannon)
No! (Takes the hit)
You! You're the cause of all this. It's about time your Scarab was destroyed, and your life ended. :(Black's scarab taps into Blue's) You fight back, but it's useless.
But I'm not alone in this fight, am I Scarab?
No, Jaime Reyes. Once you fought for control, now we fight together.
Friends, hermanos, fighting together against any attack.
No! (His Scarab is destroyed)
You are alone.
I am sufficient.
So how do we shut them down?
I don't know, because Black Beetle didn't know, there's no failsafe, this was an endgame.
The Earth is being pulled apart from the devices around the world, and the League is spread thin to advert the chaos.
It's Black Beetle's MFDs, Magnetic Field Disruptors. They're disabling Earth's magnetic field, causing these not-so-natural disasters.
(The Team and League is at the U.N. to organize the attack on the Reach's MFDs)
This is a mission of absolute importance. If we fail, there will be no Earth to save. Now, there are 20 MFDs around the world, and there are 40 of us here, so you'll be in teams of two. Each MFD is protected by two drones, and each drone is the equivalent of a beetle warrior.
Each of these eggs contains my anti-Reach virus. While one hero runs interference, the other only has to physically touch his or her egg to disarm the device. Ladies and gentlemen, the fate of the world is in your hands.
(Artemis jumps to dodge an explosion. Kid Flash catches her in mid-air and runs away from the explosion.)
(in a French accent) Ah ze Eiffel Tower.... And the ever romantic city of lights! We're definitely coming back here, babe. Y'know, when we don't have a world to save.
There will always be a world to save. Now drop me and go! (Artemis shoots an arrow at the drones as Kid Flash zooms to the M.F.D.)
(Kid Flash and Artemis disable one of the Magnetic Field Disruptors in Paris)
Omega to Watchtower, the device is...
(Kid Flash kisses her)
Omega, repeat transmission? ...Omega?
Gotta say, playing hero...starting to feel pretty sweet!
I'm not surprised. You show real potential for this gig. You ever need a mentor, Virgil, you just let me know.
