01x17 - Legends: Part II

[bunniefuu]

Announcer: previously
on justice league...

Something's not right here.

Green lantern: the streak, tom
turbine, green guardsman...

They were the stars of
my favorite comic book

The justice guild of america.

Ray, the decoder rings.

Consider yourselves honorary
members of the justice guild.

Tom turbine: I have
long hypothesized

That there are
an infinite number

Of parallel dimensions,

Each containing its
own planet earth.

Don't worry, friends.

I will toil night and day

Until I discover a
way to get you home.

Aaaaah!

A sudden dizziness...
So strange.

I propose a contest.

Each of us will see
who can pull off

The most spectacular crime.

The winner will earn the honor

Of devising a plan to
destroy the justice guild.

Hawkgirl: "here
lies scott mason,

The green guardsman"?

No.

It's true. I saw the grave.

But it doesn't make any sense.

Hawkgirl: look, I don't
know who that is,

But the real green
guardsman is gone,

And so are the rest of them.

No. I don't believe it!

He seemed to take
this quite personally.

I'll bring him back.
Wait here for flash.

Gentlemen, that's why I
lead the league in steals.

Don't be so fast to toot
your own horn, sportsman.

Then it appears
we have a hat trick.

That leaves dr. Blizzard
out in the cold.

Man: not quite.

I'd say this entitles me

To victory in our
nefarious contest,

Don't you agree?

Bravo.

To the victor goes the spoils.

It was nothing, my friends.

What are you going
to do now, doc,

Turn us into snow cones?

Oh, no.

I have bigger plans than that...

Much bigger plans.

Still no word?

I'm afraid not.

Maybe this is it. Hello?

The injustice guild
has just robbed

The seaboard city mint.

Now they're escaping by blimp.

Only they would commit such
a heinous act, and on a sunday!

Thanks for the tip, sergeant.

We're on the case.

The injustice
guild's on the move.

Then we should be, too.

Together: let justice prevail!

John, I'm sorry.

You were right. They're gone.

All of them.

Then who are those people

Back at the mansion?

Robots? Clones?

I don't know,

But I intend to
get some answers.

Stop!

What can I do you for, folks?

What can you tell us about
those graves on the hill?

Sorry, I've got
to finish my route.

Can't keep my customers waiting.

What customers?

I noticed you before.

You never stopped.

Business has been kind of dead.

When's the last time you
actually sold any ice cream?

Please, no more questions.

He might hear you.

Who?

I can't say any more.

Have a nice day!

Curiouser and curiouser.

Up there.

I'll let the air out
of their balloon.

Not so fast, guardsman. Look.

Holy hostages!

Cue the orchestra.

Aaaaah!

Fore!

Guardsman: I've
got you, old chum.

Presto change-o.

Aaaah!

Ooohph!

It's true what they say:

Television is bad for you.

Looks like it's up to me.

All: aaah!

Oooogh! What was that?

Oooogh!

Don't bother
welcoming me aboard.

Get him!

Oooh! Uuugh!

The library?

I want to bone up on my history.

Hello?

Blank.

What?

They're all useless.

Aaaargh!

Let's check the newspaper
archives in the basement.

Right.

Why am I not surprised?

I've had enough.

Haaaah!

Ladies first.

Hawkgirl: a subway station?

Must have been an
earthquake or something.

No.

These are battle scars.

You're right, and
look at the date.

40 Years ago.

The same day as the
last justice guild comic.

Prepare to be foiled, cat man.

Yeaaaah!

Aaaah!

Oh!

En garde.

I'll have you free in a jiffy.

It's no use. We'll
never get free.

Want to bet?

Decorative and functional.

Uhhn!

Aaaah!

All: whoa!

Oooh!

Whoa!

Aaaaah!

Flash!

Gotcha!

You two need a lift?

Ooh! Oh! Oh!

We've sprung a leak.

I can't control it!

Cat man: then it's time to bail.

Wait! What are you doing?

Stop! Stop!

Uuuugh.

Whoo-hoo!

That was amazing...

When black siren fell
and flash caught her,

And then cat man knocked
sir swami off the blimp.

Gosh, that was
the best battle yet.

Indeed.

The city's in your
debt, justice guild.

Just doing our job, sergeant.

Take them away.

Is it just me, or are those two

The only cops in this town?

Then, at the last second,

Green guardsman flies in and...

Some friends.

It's a good thing
the justice guild

Was around to save me.

They're not the justice guild.

Say what?

You heard me.

They are not the justice guild.

How can you say that?

This is a serious
accusation, young man.

Explain yourself.

No. You explain this.

"Justice guild
k*lled in battle"?

It's a hoax.

Some kind of sick joke.

It's no joke.

The real streak,
green guardsman,

Tom turbine...

They're all dead.

I've seen their graves.

He can't be serious...

Can he?

I don't know. It
sounds fantastic, but...

Hello?

Justice guild, we
need your help.

A monster's tearing
up main street.

You must hurry.

We're on our way, sergeant.

We're needed downtown.

We're not done here.

But seaboard city needs us.

Haven't you noticed that
nothing here makes sense?

Library books with blank pages,

Ice-cream trucks
that never stop.

Dangers that spring up whenever
someone gets too close to the truth.

What truth?

That your world is an illusion,

A living memory
of a civilization

Destroyed 40 years ago

When the justice guild gave
their lives for this earth.

That's why they
stopped publishing

The comic book in our world.

No more justice guild.

And any time someone
starts to figure things out...

Nuns and dynamite.

If what you say is true,

Who or what is
creating this illusion?

I suggest you ask ray.

Ray?

Why would I know anything?

Because you are the source.

No!

You ruined it.

You ruined everything.

Aaaaah!

That's it.

I officially want to go home.

Justice guild, att*ck!

No!

Don't! It's an illusion.

He's the real menace.

Take that, monster.

Green lantern: it's over, ray.

It's been over
before. I changed that.

Aaaah! Aah!

Haaaah!

Aaah!

This is my world.

I decide who wins and who loses.

Uuaaah!

Aaaaah!

Aaaaaah! Aaah!

Ha uh!

Uh!

Uh!

Uh!

Aaaah! Ugh.

Green lantern: aaargh.

The justice league
needs our help.

Wait. If what they said is true,

Defeating ray could destroy
this reality and everything in it.

Including us.

We d*ed once to save this earth,

And we can do it again.

You'll be sorry you
messed things up.

Aaah! Oooh. Ugh.

What is this?

In seaboard city,
crime doesn't pay.

Aaaah! Oooaaah!

You can't. I made you.

All: let justice prevail!

Yaaah!

Aaaaah!

Stop!

Eeyaah!

Black siren: aaah!

Yaaaah!

Uuuugh!

Ooomph!

Uh!

Oooorgh!

Huh?

Whoa.

Aaah! Uugh. Aah!

Aaah! Aaah!

Yaaaaaah!

No.

Uh. What happened?

He couldn't
maintain the illusion.

The strain was too great.

But how did he get like that?

Martian manhunter: the
radioactive fallout

From the nuclear
w*r mutated his dna,

Giving him the psychic ability

To mold this world
to his choosing.

So he chose to recreate it

With the heroes he
worshipped as a child.

Who could blame him?

Listen.

You're all real?

It's like waking
up from a dream.

Green lantern: I'm sorry.
We destroyed your world.

No. We did that.

But now, all that's
left is this nightmare.

Being stuck in an ice-cream
truck for 40 years...

That's a nightmare.

Compared to that,
rebuilding our world

Will be a piece of cake.

Thank you for giving
us back our future.

Can't believe that's over.

So what now?

How are we supposed to get home?

I have an idea. Come on.

Remember when tom turbine said

He had been working on a
transdimensional gateway?

It's possible that...

Yes! There it is.

What good's that going to do?

He was never able to
find a way to power it.

True, but maybe I can.

I don't know how
long I can hold it.

Go!

Flash: you should
have been there.

It was so freaky...

Those cornball villains
with their bad puns,

And the heroes with
the decoder rings.

What's up with that?

Still, black siren was a hottie.

Where's gl?

Are you ok?

It's stupid, really.

Why should I feel like this?

I mean, they weren't even real.

They gave their lives for us.

That's real enough for me.
