1. Aargh!
Copy !req
2. Re-route plasma flux to
starboard defense screens!
Copy !req
3. Helmsman, get us out of
the gravity well now.
Copy !req
4. Not enough thrust, general.
We just lost reactors 5 and 6.
Copy !req
5. Then boom us out of here, Blastio.
Copy !req
6. Too late, they've locked us
in a simbio-beam.
Copy !req
7. Great Darkseid, the fleet ambushed us
as soon as we hit the troposphere.
Copy !req
8. Starkiller 2 is gone,
and we are in full retreat.
Copy !req
9. They were waiting for us.
Copy !req
10. You knew going into that sector
Copy !req
11. was a violation of our treaty
with New Genesis.
Copy !req
12. It was a calculated risk.
Copy !req
13. You have served me well, general.
Copy !req
14. Take as many of them with you as you can.
Copy !req
15. As you command, my lord.
Copy !req
16. We've lost contact.
Copy !req
17. General Steppenwolf, come in.
Copy !req
18. Steppenwolf!
Copy !req
19. I'm afraid the general isn't
returning any calls today.
Copy !req
20. Orion.
Copy !req
21. Your invasion force is shattered. It's over.
Copy !req
22. Please accept this parting gift
with Highfather's compliments.
Copy !req
23. Aah!
Copy !req
24. We know of your mad ambitions, Darkseid.
Copy !req
25. This is your final warning.
Copy !req
26. Break the treaty again,
and you will be destroyed.
Copy !req
27. J'onn: Magnificent, aren't they?
Copy !req
28. Yes, yes, they are.
Copy !req
29. You miss your home world very much?
Copy !req
30. It doesn't take a telepath
Copy !req
31. to see what's troubling you.
Copy !req
32. I suppose not.
Copy !req
33. Forgive me, I didn't mean to pry.
Copy !req
34. J'onn, wait. It's all right, it's just...
Copy !req
35. Well, it's a long story.
Copy !req
36. Earth doesn't seem to be
in peril at the moment.
Copy !req
37. Faster, dogs,
Copy !req
38. to restore the glory of great Darkseid.
Copy !req
39. You underestimated Highfather,
Copy !req
40. and again, it cost you dearly.
Copy !req
41. The solution to the anti-life equation
Copy !req
42. was almost within my grasp.
Copy !req
43. But at what price?
Copy !req
44. Our forces are decimated,
our defenses weakened...
Copy !req
45. It was a fool's errand.
Copy !req
46. Er, what I mean to say is...
Copy !req
47. No one questions me, Desaad.
Copy !req
48. No one.
Copy !req
49. Father, father, did you see?
Copy !req
50. Be still, fool, I'm not blind.
Copy !req
51. But what is it?
Copy !req
52. It's death.
Copy !req
53. I tracked the criminals back
to their fortress,
Copy !req
54. but like a rank amateur,
I stumbled right into a trap.
Copy !req
55. By all rights, I should be dead.
Copy !req
56. Their particle beam ripped
my molecules apart,
Copy !req
57. and shot them halfway across the cosmos.
Copy !req
58. And you have no idea where home is?
Copy !req
59. J'onn, Thanagar is so far away.
Copy !req
60. We've never even come into contact
with the Green Lantern Corps.
Copy !req
61. What?
Copy !req
62. I was just thinking, you, me,
Wonder Woman, Superman,
Copy !req
63. we are, all of us, orphans and exiles.
Copy !req
64. Maybe we should call ourselves
the "just us" League.
Copy !req
65. What the devil...?
Copy !req
66. Sensors are picking up
a powerful energy surge.
Copy !req
67. But I've never seen a signature like this.
Copy !req
68. I have. It's a boom tube.
Copy !req
69. We meet again, Kal-El.
Copy !req
70. You!
Copy !req
71. Stop him before he knocks us out of orbit.
Copy !req
72. Superman, don't!
Copy !req
73. Let go!
Copy !req
74. I see you haven't forgotten me.
Copy !req
75. What do you want?
Copy !req
76. Though it pains me to admit it,
Copy !req
77. I need your help.
Copy !req
78. My latest skirmish with New Genesis has left
Copy !req
79. my military forces at considerably
less than full strength.
Copy !req
80. Why should we help you?
Copy !req
81. Because my enemy is your enemy.
Copy !req
82. Even as we speak,
Apokolips is being assimilated by
Copy !req
83. the Kryptonian menace known as Brainiac.
Copy !req
84. You are lying. I destroyed him.
Copy !req
85. Apparently, he is harder to kill
than you realized.
Copy !req
86. You know his pattern, Kal-El.
Copy !req
87. Once he's finished siphoning
the memory banks
Copy !req
88. and technology of my planet...
Copy !req
89. He'll annihilate it.
Copy !req
90. Good.
Copy !req
91. Superman! What! You can't mean.
Copy !req
92. You may not care what happens to me
or my world, but know this:
Copy !req
93. If Brainiac isn't stopped,
countless millions more will perish.
Copy !req
94. Think about it.
Copy !req
95. So, what are you saying?
Copy !req
96. You'd sacrifice millions of lives
Copy !req
97. just because you don't like this guy?
Copy !req
98. You don't know Darkseid like I do.
Copy !req
99. We know he used you...
Copy !req
100. Humiliated you... Brainwashed you...
Copy !req
101. Wound you up like a tin soldier,
Copy !req
102. and turned you loose against earth.
Copy !req
103. Cry me a river.
Copy !req
104. On the outside chance that this
isn't another one of his schemes,
Copy !req
105. we have to take action.
Copy !req
106. So I suggest you get over it.
Copy !req
107. Brainiac has already destroyed
countless civilizations,
Copy !req
108. and now he threatens another.
Copy !req
109. Do you want this to be
the legacy of your people?
Copy !req
110. I'm telling you, there's something wrong
with this whole scenario.
Copy !req
111. All right. We'll play Darkseid's game,
Copy !req
112. but I need you to do something for me.
Copy !req
113. Fire!
Copy !req
114. Aah!
Copy !req
115. Uh!
Copy !req
116. Don't let up.
Copy !req
117. My lord, Superman and the Justice League
Copy !req
118. have agreed to come to our aid.
Copy !req
119. Transport them here, now.
Copy !req
120. There!
Copy !req
121. Looks like Darkseid was telling the truth.
Copy !req
122. Looks can be deceiving. Just stay sharp.
Copy !req
123. That was fun.
Copy !req
124. Let me get this straight.
Copy !req
125. Orion is Darkseid's own son?
Copy !req
126. New Genesis and Apokolips
Copy !req
127. have been at war for centuries.
Copy !req
128. Apparently, Darkseid and Highfather
Copy !req
129. exchanged sons as part of
some kind of peace treaty.
Copy !req
130. Sounds whacky to me, too.
Copy !req
131. But with a conflict on this scale,
Copy !req
132. we could use some backup.
Copy !req
133. So, where do we find this Orion?
Copy !req
134. Aah!
Copy !req
135. Ah!
Copy !req
136. Batman!
Copy !req
137. Are you all right?
Copy !req
138. Peachy.
Copy !req
139. Uh.
Copy !req
140. This way. That buzz bomb
won't hold him for long.
Copy !req
141. You should be safe here.
Copy !req
142. Uh.
Copy !req
143. Who are you?
Copy !req
144. They call me forager.
Copy !req
145. Do you know someone named Orion?
Copy !req
146. Orion? I am just an unworthy bug.
Copy !req
147. Orion is a god who is far above us.
Copy !req
148. You are too modest.
Copy !req
149. You've shown courage, compassion...
Copy !req
150. No, no, you don't understand.
Copy !req
151. All of the gods are far above us.
Copy !req
152. I'm going to need a longer grapple.
Copy !req
153. Idiot.
Copy !req
154. You're wasting your time.
Copy !req
155. I suppose you have a better idea.
Copy !req
156. You should know by now.
Copy !req
157. I always have a plan.
Copy !req
158. Such grandeur.
Copy !req
159. It even outshines Themyscira.
Copy !req
160. I've never seen the like.
Copy !req
161. We can take in the sights some other time.
Copy !req
162. Let's concentrate on finding Orion.
Copy !req
163. What have we here?
Copy !req
164. I've never seen bugs like you before.
Copy !req
165. We're not bugs.
Copy !req
166. Well, you're certainly not gods.
Copy !req
167. Hey, come back here.
Copy !req
168. Only if you catch me.
Copy !req
169. He's worse than the Flash.
Copy !req
170. Stay on him.
Copy !req
171. Hey!
Copy !req
172. Uh.
Copy !req
173. Hold still. We won't hurt you.
Copy !req
174. No, you most certainly will not.
Copy !req
175. Brainiac!
Copy !req
176. Kal-El, what brings you so far
from your adopted home?
Copy !req
177. I'm here to end you.
Copy !req
178. If your father, Jor-El couldn't stop me,
Copy !req
179. what hope have you?
Copy !req
180. Drop that force field and find out.
Copy !req
181. No, I don't believe that will be necessary.
Copy !req
182. Ah!
Copy !req
183. Superman has played his part,
now it's our turn.
Copy !req
184. Now!
Copy !req
185. Aah!
Copy !req
186. It appears you've won this round, Kal-El.
Copy !req
187. No!
Copy !req
188. Behind you!
Copy !req
189. Aah!
Copy !req
190. Oh.
Copy !req
191. You Ok?
Copy !req
192. Uh, I've had softer landings.
Copy !req
193. Ow.
Copy !req
194. You imbeciles are letting
Brainiac get away.
Copy !req
195. What are you waiting for? Finish him.
Copy !req
196. Sure, but only because you asked so nicely.
Copy !req
197. Here's our ride.
Copy !req
198. Still think Darkseid was up to something?
Copy !req
199. Hawkgirl, I'd bet the farm on it.
Copy !req
200. Gone! But that's impossible.
Copy !req
201. J'onn: Some kind of warp drive?
Copy !req
202. No, according to the navicomputer,
Copy !req
203. he should be right below us.
Copy !req
204. Oh, my stars. What is that thing?
Copy !req
205. Ah!
Copy !req
206. We'll know soon enough.
Copy !req
