02x15 - Requiem for a Scarlet Speedster!

[bunniefuu]

- Soon, batman, I will complete the ritual That ushers in the age of chaos.

- If it's chaos you want, kobra-- Outsiders, att*ck! - Got you covered, bats! - Perhaps I better proceed.

- Still outnumbered.

Geo-force! - You wish for me to even the odds, yes?

- Metamorpho! - Halo, I need-- - Works for me.

Katana! - Once the kali yuga feeds, The age of chaos begins.

- The kali yuga must feed, but its menu is flexible! - No! The kali yuga! - StillBeing Crushed here.

- Apologies, batman.

- You have only delayed the-- aah! - So, teach, how'd we do?

- Impressively.

You've learned to take control, to anticipate.

You even knew to take out the bridge To prevent the rest of kobra's cultists from joining the fight.

- Bridge?

- More cultists?

- Uh, whoops.

by warner bros.

Animation - [sighs]

it's almost too easy.

- The flash may be gone, heat wave, But there's no way I'd let a city fall to the likes of you.

- Too bad, because the likes of me have you surrounded.

- The rogues are taking this town by storm.

- See, weather wizard, I told you one of flash's buddies would show up.

- It's not the same, captain cold.

There's no - Joie de vivre.

- Sorry to disappoint.

- You've got no style, batman.

No panache.

- Flash was creative.

He'd have run circles around us, spinning away our oxygen.

- Ha! All you do is punch and kick Like a child throwing a tantrum.

- The old scarlet speedster would vibrate his molecules Right out of that bronze.

- With a smile and an "aw, shucks" That made you want to rip him to shreds, you know?

- You miss him?

- Who, us?

- Miss the flash?

- Don't be absurd.

- Was that-- - could it be?

- The flash?

- Not that flash, but a flash.

- Ahh, it's just geezer flash.

- Not the same.

Not the same.

- No, but I'm enough to handle you losers.

- Hey whiz, mind if I borrow your wand?

- Great to see you, kid flash.

You help batman, and I'll-- Or I can help batman.

A little superspeed rubdown should get this All melting again.

- First geezer flash, now baby flash.

Lame! - Playtime's over, cold.

- It's not over until we say-- oof! - It's over.

- It's good to see you, kid.

I was hoping you'd stop by the house.

- Been busy.

Someone's got to take up the slack around here-- Or hadn't you noticed?

Say hi to nightwing for me.

- What was that about?

- [sighs]

guess it's time I got you up to speed.

Well, you know the official story.

Barry allen, the flash, d*ed fighting professor zoom, the reverse flash.

- I gather that's not the whole story.

- No.

It's not.

Barry and zoom were evenly matched, So barry called in wally and myself To take zoom down once and for all.

We chased him all across the country, Our speed ever-increasing.

Somewhere over the pacific, we broke the sound barrier.

And still, we accelerated, Faster than any of us had ever gone before, And as we approached the speed of light, it happened.

Our speed opened a rift into another dimension.

Before we could react, we fell in.

Zoom went first, so he was the first to suffer its effects.

We tried to turn around, But there was no solid ground beneath our feet, No way to stop.

So barry gave wally and me A great big shove toward the exit.

- No! In saving us, he doomed himself.

Since then, wally's been running ragged Trying to fill barry's shoes.

He blames me for his death.

- He's young and lashing out.

- That'd be a comfort, if I didn't think the boy was right.

Barry was still a young man, Not an old fogey like yours truly.

If anyone was going to sacrifice himself, Well, it should have been me.

- That's your guilt talking.

- I feel guilty, all right.

Heh.

So guilty, in fact, I'm cracking up.

Been seeing barry everywhere I go.

It's like he's haunting me.

- Get some sep, jay.

- You know, you and jay might have time to sh**t the breeze, But I've got a city to protect.

- I don't like his tone, but I agree with the kid on this one.

Why'd you have us meet here, and what are we looking for?

- Didn't barry use a cosmic treadmill To access other dimensions and travel through time?

- Yeah.

If I remember correctly, it should be Here.

- I encountered barry's ghost.

I suspect his treadmill must be picking up His residual frequency somewhere through the dimensional void And broadcasting it to us.

- Whoa, back up.

You saw barry's ghost?

- [sighs]

that's my fault.

I've been seeing barry, and I planted the idea in batman's head.

- Except you never mentioned any ghost to me.

And I've seen it, too.

- Why didn't you tell me?

- Why didn't you tell me?

- HelpMe! Help me! - I've got a lock on the ghost's resonance wave.

Jay, can you set the treadmill to match it?

- I've got it.

- There.

Now, if we run fast enough, The treadmill will send us to wherever the ghost is.

- Where's that?

Heaven?

- What difference does it make?

Barry needs our help! You coming or not?

- Match my pace, kid.

- You match mine, gramps.

[beeps]

- the 25th century.

- And looks like reports of zoom's death were slightly exaggerated.

- How do we find him?

- Unauthorized superhumans.

Alerting the speed force.

- I doubt that will be a problem.

- You are under arrest on the order of lord zoom.

- He's not my lord zoom.

- Kid flash, wait! - Can you believe jay?

Runs off and leaves his partners behind--again.

- Enough.

Jay's the original flash And deserves your respect.

You're not mad at him.

You're mad at yourself, Because you feel just as guilty About leaving barry behind as he does.

But the barry allen I knew wouldn't stand For either of you wallowing in guilt Or being at each other's throats.

- Batman and kid flash.

Welcome to fortress zoom.

- Zoom.

How did you survive when flash-- - Fell right into my trap?

It was child's play to lure you all Into the light speed dimension Which I had already arranged to teleport me to the 25th century.

My only regret is that I didn't get all 3 of you.

Still, I got the prize I sought.

- The key to my conquest of the future.

- Wait, are you saying the flash is still alive?

- Here he is, the sultan of swoosh, The scarlet speedster, The once great flash.

- Now a living dynamo powering my troopers' super speed And my rise to absolute power.

- Now you'll both share his fate.

- Flash, go! - It's your fate you should be worried about, zoom.

- I'm quaking in my bright red booties.

- He stuck us in here between eye blinks.

- Sorry I dragged you all into this.

- Haven't you guessed yet?

Flash's power doesn't simply provide my troopers with speed-- It increases my own velocity exponentially.

- And now that you have 3 speedsters feeding your power I'll be able to move effortlessly through time And conquer any era.

Welcome to the future, batman.

You will be here a long time.

- I can't stop running! - I know.

Zoom's speed generator siphons off our own speed To run its treadmill.

He's created a perpetual motion machine.

- And we're the moving parts.

- I used the generator as a cosmic treadmill To use afterimages of myself back to the past.

The last thing I wanted was to get both of you trapped, too.

- Now don't you start.

This is my mess.

If only I had been-- - Oh, give it a rest.

I think we've dished out enough guilt for any 5 centuries.

Sorry I've been such a jerk, jay.

It's zoom who's to blame.

And when our moment comes, we'll take him down.

- Because when you're a flash, a moment's all you need.

- Your reign is over, zoom.

- Is it?

- Zoom's distracted.

Now's our chance.

- To do what?

We can't stop.

We can't even slow down.

- But we can speed up and create a dimensional rift, One that will send us through space, but not time.

- Did you really think you could b*at me at my own game?

- There it is! Only time for one of us to slip through.

Wait! I didn't mean me! - Zoom! What do you say?

One last dance?

- My speed was always a match for yours, And now, it's augmented by 2 more flashes! - I'm the flash.

Speed is my game.

- Good to be home.

- I wonder if they'll agree.

- Is that-- - he's back! - I promised myself I wouldn't cry.

- You don't mind if we take these?

- Wouldn't have it any other way.
