02x02 - Twilight: Part II

Post by bunniefuu »

Previously on justice league...

We meet again, kal-el.

What do you want?

Even as we speak,
apocalypse is being assimilated

By the kryptonian
menace known as brainiac.

Once he's finished siphoning

The memory banks and
technology of my planet...

He'll annihilate it.

Good.

We know he used you,
humiliated you. Get over it!

All right. But I need you
to do something for me.

Who are you?

They call me forager.

Do you know someone named orion?

Orion is a god
who is far above us.

Hold still. We won't hurt you.

No, you most certainly will not.

Man: superman
has played his part.

Now it's our turn.

You imbeciles are
letting brainiac get away.

Oh, my stars.

What is that thing?

J'onn: we'll know soon enough.

No response.

The controls have
been overridden.

So what do we do now?

What can we do, but wait?

[Loud hum]

Welcome, kal-el.

Once I offered you
the chance to join me

In carrying on the
legacy of krypton.

Today I renew that offer.

You must be joking.

Why do you reject
your great heritage?

The entire history
of your planet,

Its knowledge and splendor,

Its awe and mystery

Are encoded within me.

Superman, don't...

I am krypton.

You're a perversion,

Dishonoring the very
memory of my father

And all my people.

And this is your final decision?

Read my lips. Go to...

Unfortunate...

But predictable.

Move!

Hyah! Hyah!

Hyah!

Uh!

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

[Yelling]

Hyah! Hyah!

Hyah!

Someone had to do it.

No problem.

Then it's over.

Brainiac: again
you've miscalculated.

It hasn't even begun.

Man: it's hard, isn't it?

But we must lovingly
tend our garden

If we want it to
grow strong and tall.

I hate this.

What's wrong, child?

I've tried, highfather.

Really I have. But look.

Patience, my dear.

Everything has a purpose

And a place.

Everything?

Given time.

Man: highfather.

I have urgent news
from apocalypse.

Indeed.

We're friends of superman.

He sent us to warn you that
darkseid is under att*ck on apocalypse.

Do not speak that name
in front of the children.

You'll frighten them.

They should be afraid.

For too long, the
shadow of apocalypse

Has threatened new genesis.

Come with me.

Would you excuse us, children?

Orion: well, let
me mount an army.

While darkseid is under siege,

We will att*ck and end

His reign of terror
once and for all.

Superman asked for your help.

He doesn't want to start a w*r.

Don't be so sure.

Highfather: you forget.

In the name of peace,

We swore not to
interfere on apocalypse.

We made a pact.

As long as darkseid is in power,

There can be no real peace.

There is truth in what you say.

Then give the order.

No!

Though I love you like a son,

You are too young to remember

The endless
bloodshed we endured.

Before making such
a terrible decision,

I must commune with the source.

You will await my verdict.

Yes, highfather.

[Growls]

[Yells]

Hyah!

[Growling]

Darkseid.

Aah!

[Screaming]

It appears our
stratagem was a success.

Yes.

As promised,

I've delivered superman
into your hands.

Those people we met

Down below... Who are they?

They're not important,

Just bugs.

And where are you going?

To face darkseid.

But highfather
ordered you to wait.

Why are you so eager to fight?

I have my reasons.
Now stand aside.

We can't let you go.

Try to stop me.

[Beeps]

Next time I let
superman take charge,

Just hit me real hard.

Remember the
terms of our bargain.

In exchange for superman,

You promised to spare my planet.

Agreed.

But I still can't fathom
why you need him.

Surely not for simple revenge.

It is quite elementary.

Observe.

Over the years,

I have roamed the
universe, collecting data.

As my appetite grew,

I changed and evolved
into what you see today.

From this central core,

I can send countless drones

To the farthest
corners of the galaxy

To gather more data
for my collection,

But it is not enough.

I have reached the limits
of my programmed functions.

To evolve to the next level,

I must extract living d.n.a.

From the last kryptonian.

[Screaming]

Now I become a true life form...

The likes of which this
universe has never seen.

Braniac: wait.

What have you done?

Darkseid: just a
minor modification

To override your
control circuits.

You are now the
instrument of my will.

[Screaming]

Brainiac: you deceived
me, darkseid, used me.

It's what I do.

J'onn, wake up.

What hit us?

It was darkseid.

Then superman was right.

This was all an elaborate trap.

Where is superman?

I can't locate him.

He's either unconscious or...

All these worlds that
brainiac has visited.

Somewhere in here there might
be information about thanagar.

There's no time to
think about that.

Superman needs us.

Why are you doing this?

Before brainiac had the
power to devour planets.

Now he can consume
an entire universe.

[Screaming]

He is my solution to
the ultimate problem...

The anti-life equation.

This isn't apocalypse.

No. But mother box
senses darkseid's hand here.

But why?

You, of all people, should know,

The universe is filled

With chaos, confusion,
and uncertainty.

I will tear it down to nothing

And then rebuild it,

Bringing order and
discipline at last.

Think of it, superman...

A new universe
created in my image.

[Rumbling]

What?

By the source.

Highfather, what is it?!

Darkseid.

Get everyone to the escape pods.

What?

We have no choice.

Evacuate the city.

Darkseid, I calculate
that this reaction

Will soon reach critical mass.

If you don't release me,

There will be no stopping it.

Precisely.

Hawkgirl: then I
guess it's up to us.

Aah!

Brainiac, stop them!

I have no desire to save you,

But I am compelled to obey.

J'onn: get back!

No way!

Hyah! Hyah!

Aah!

No!

Uh! Ungh!

Finish them now.

What?!

Hello, father.

Don't I get a hug?

Having fun?

Yes.

Come on!

Cover me.

Ungh! My pleasure.

[Wind]

By the gods!

[Yelling]

[Yells]

[Groaning]

Brainiac: warning...
Circuit incomplete.

Critical system failure.

Hyah!

Where's darkseid?

I don't know. But we've
got to get out of here.

I'm glad to see growing
up with highfather

Has made you soft and weak.

You make an old man proud.

But I won't let
you or anyone else

Stand in my way.

Spare the rod.

Superman: any minute
now, brainiac will explode.

And guess what.
You're going with him.

No, darkseid.

To get off this rock, you'll
have to go through me.

You really are a
glutton for punishment.

Time and again, I've beaten you,

Humbled you.

What makes you
think today's outcome

Will be any different?

Because this time,

I won't stop until you're
just a greasy smear on my fist.

Let's go.

It seems you need

Another lesson in humility, boy.

Wonder woman: wait!

Where's superman?

That idiot. I'll get him.

The rest of you, take off now!

But...

Just do it!

I hope he knows what he's doing.

This is where you
belong, superman:

Under my heel.

Uh! Uh!

Uh!

Superman!

Go! I'm finishing this!

Kent, don't be a fool.

Get out of here now!

[Beep]

No!

[Scoffs]

Loser.

Nothing could
have survived that,

Not even darkseid.

You know something, bruce?

You're not always right.

[Raspy breathing]

[Lightray approaching]

Any sign of the others?

I've searched everywhere.

There's nothing.

Then all is lost.

[Children giggling]

Listen.

I'll race you!

Highfather, highfather!

It's a miracle.

How did you survive?

He found us and
hid us in his hive

Until the storm blew over.

You did this?

Forgive my
presumption, highfather.

No. Forgive me...

For forgetting that
everything has a purpose...

And a place.

Today, here at our side,

You have found your place.

Perhaps some day, you
will find yours, as well.

Some day.
