02x10 - Hearts and Minds: Part II

Post by bunniefuu »

Previously, on justice league...

J'onn, they got her.

They got kat.

Take care of him.

It's called the legion
of the third eye,

A fanatical cult from
the planet kalanor.

And what about this katma tui?

I'm not sure what
happened to her.

She was the green
lantern who trained j'onn.

They must've been close.

Despero, I presume.

A new order to the
universe is coming,

One that will be
written in fire...

And with the blood
of all who oppose me.

Aah!

He's preparing to start a
massive w*r of conquest.

You'll stay here and
coordinate with them.

But i...

Mmm...

O flame of pitar,

Infuse me with your power

So that I may
carry out your will.

Go!

The conquest begins now!

Emblazon my word and
will across the cosmos!

Group and u.s.
Department of education

Despero's created one of the most
formidable forces I've ever seen.

He's out to control the galaxy,

And I think he can do it.

The galaxy is a big place, kat.

Despero doesn't
have the manpower.

He'd spread his
forces way too thin.

Not if he pulls in new recruits
from each world he conquers.

Katma's right.

Despero can subjugate a
people using only his mind.

His army will grow with
each world he conquers.

All right, then. Enough talk.

Let's mobilize the corp.

I doubt these amateurs
can hold their own

Against a few thousand
green lanterns.

Despero's got some kind of
dampening field around this planet.

Communications
with oa are impossible.

Then sit tight.

I'll be back with the cavalry.

We are betrayed!

And you led them here!

Sorry, honey, I'm
too good for that.

What the...

Stewart, what are you doing?

My ring. I can't get it to work.

There's too many of them.

Regroup at the
secondary site. Hurry!

Ok, everybody out.

The other way!

Trapped!

Then we'll make
our last stand here.

Hyaa!

Hey, g.l., Did you miss me?

Like a toothache.

J'onn, katma. Are you guys ok?

Ah, you must be
the mystery woman.

And you must be?

Delighted to meet you.

That's a bit old-fashioned.

I'll explain later.

We gotta move before
reinforcements arrive.

There seems to be a
recurring theme here.

You can read these?

You mean you can't?

These chambers are ancient.

No one knows who built them.

These icons suggest
that your world

May have had a flourishing
ecosystem at one time

Much different from the barren
desert conditions of today.

Legend does say that
kalanor was once a paradise.

This same tree seems
to repeat throughout.

Apparently, it holds
some significance.

The only image I recognize
is the flame of pitar.

That tells me that this evil has
been on kalanor for centuries.

Ancient drawings by
cavemen, that's all they are.

Are we just going to sit
here and talk or do something?

Patience, radocko.

We might as well accept
that the cause is lost.

Forgive him. He is young.

But I must admit... It
does look hopeless.

Only if you believe
it to be is it so.

Try again.

I don't get it. Is
the ring... Broken?

Power rings don't break.
But something else did.

You mean me? That's nuts.

The broken wills of over a million
kalanorn speaks to the contrary.

So despero somehow got to me.

He did something inside my head.

That would explain this feeling,

Like a piece of me is missing.

An important piece.

But if that's gone...

Then we start over.

I trained you once.
I can do it again.

Back to basics?
I don't think so.

The problem with half
the corp, you included,

Is that once you learn to use
your rings like jackhammers,

You forget the subtleties

Of manipulation and control.

I know. I know. The mind is
the w*apon, not the metal.

At least you remember that much.

It's time to relearn
what you've learned.

Now you sound like yoda.

Look, you have two choices:

Let me help you retune
your mental disciplines,

Or you can live with
your emerald impudence.

Impotence?

Uh... Right. I... I was
just going over there.

Ok. You win.

Guess it really
will be like old times.

Don't presume too
much, j'onn stewart.

Grisblack, do you have news
from the ministry of conversion?

Lieutenant franzi
has a report, lord.

Step forward, my son.

Our forces stormed
the enemy headquarters.

Unfortunately, the
nonbelievers escaped.

I failed you.

I see.

And naturally, you've
come to beg for forgiveness.

I know I'm unworthy.

This is true.

What must I do to atone?

March into the desert dressed in
simple robes and without provisions.

Stay there and
await a vision from me.

Only then will you be cleansed

And ready to reenter my kingdom.

Thank you, lord despero.

I praise your name. Thank you!

Despero is the beginning.

Despero is the
end. Despero is all.

Tell lieutenant franzi's
forces that he won't be back.

Then send them out again.

These nonbelievers must be
brought around to my truth.

Yes, lord. But if
I may be so bold,

Your power is great
and theirs is small.

Surely they pose no thr*at.

A lone voice in the darkness

Can rouse many
if not snuffed out.

My word is absolute and
must be accepted by all.

Of course, lord.

Remember, surface
thought is only the initiator.

The inner governing thought

Maintains the integrity
through power of will.

This is key when multitasking,

Especially if you're in space.

Aah! Oof!

If that was your
life support field,

We'd be picking you
up with a vacuum now.

Let's take it from the top.

This is useless.

Where do you think you're going?

I need some air.

I didn't say you could go.

Excuse me?

You're as bad as that raynor
kid you sent me to train.

What's your problem?

I think the problem is yours.

I'm not a kid anymore!

She's got a bit
of an edge to her.

You're kidding, right?

Just an observation.

It's like she thinks
I'm still a raw recruit.

We tend to cling
to images of people

From when we knew them best,

Forgetting that they do change.

Ok. So as someone who knows
j'onn stewart in the here and now,

How would you handle me?

As a friend and equal,

I'd say get back in
there and try again

Or I'll knock you
into next tuesday.

Somehow I fail to see the
difference in your approach.

Oh, there's a difference.

You just haven't
figured it out yet.

Now get back in there.

Ooh!

Despero must have a weakness.

We need to discover
what it is and exploit it.

Got any more of that?

Not exactly bob and terry's.

No kidding.

But with a hypercharged
metabolism,

I can't always be choosy.

Especially if we're
going into action.

Kilowog, your rings
and lantern batteries

Are all fed from a much
larger power source, correct?

That's right. The central
power battery on oa.

Its energy is almost infinite.

Despero is channeling a
great deal of power himself.

It stands to reason
that he may have

A similar energy supply
and distribution system.

How about that flame of his?

My thoughts exactly.

Somehow despero
draws power from it.

Then he channels it
through his third eye.

So if we take out the flame...

The pitar's comprised
of pure nuclear plasma.

You can't just blow
it out like a candle.

You can with a carbon b*mb.

A what?

Of course.

Carbon can be used to
arrest nuclear activity.

And I can build
one in a few hours.

Ladies and gentlemen,
I give you kilowog,

The man of a thousand talents.

Oh!

Aah!

Soon, great pitar,

We will receive
word from our forces

On our latest conquest.

Some better news
this time, I trust.

Indeed, lord.

Speak.

Lord despero, the
unbelievers and off worlders

Have regrouped in the
city's ancient catacombs.

I can show you
where to find them.

And why should I take your word?

What do you gain
from this betrayal?

I only wish to be part
of the winning side.

Ha ha ha!

Well, young one,

You've assured yourself
a position there indeed.

Prepare your forces.

I will show this resistance
the error of their ways.

They will accept
the light of pitar,

Or they will die.

I'm afraid he's finished.

When this mission's over,

We'll have to recall raynor

To take over j'onn's sector.

Just like that?

He's given up on himself.

He's not the only one.

But I guess that's what happens

When a toy loses its luster.

Are you going to need
all those power cells?

If that's what it takes.

I can still pull my
weight, you know.

There's more to me
than just a fancy ring.

I've always known that, j'onn.

There's an exhaust port
that few know about.

It will take us into
the throne room.

Excellent.

You sure this thing'll work?

Thermal mechanics was
always my best subject.

We have every confidence
in your abilities, kilowog.

Aah!

Don't just stand
there! Light 'em up!

Aah! Oof!

Aah!

Hey, what's katma doing?

Buying us time. We must go.

Say what?

We have the carbon b*mb.

If we are captured,
all hope is lost.

J'onn's right, little poozer.

We got a job to do.

J'onn, are you ok?

I'll let you know when
my head stops throbbing.

Katma?

She's still out cold.

I admit I am puzzled as to
how you survived the pitar,

But it's just as well.

k*lling you is a waste

When I can make better
use of your talents

In my army.

We're not interested.

It's not like you have a choice.

I've just launched a
second invasion wave.

Soon, I will launch another.

You 3 will be part of it.

Prepare to embrace
the power of the pitar.

Aah!

This would seem to be it.

Allow me.

Now, who's next?

Unh...

Keep away from her!

The wings give her
an exotic quality,

Wouldn't you agree?

I don't think I'll
put her in the army.

I have just the place for her

As one of my
personal attendants.

Don't even think about it.

Aah!

Aah!

Yeah!

Round two, freak.

Ooh... Oh...

Fire in the hole!

Wait! Stop!

Unh!

Aah!

What are we waiting for?

The pitar. It's a
sentient being.

A what?

It's alive. In pain.

It wants to make contact.

Unh!

Unh!

Not this time.

Unh!

Unh!

I can almost connect with it.

J'onn!

Ok. We are officially
spooked here.

Hear me, o children of kalanor.

Behold, I am the pitar, the
living soul of this planet.

Despero is a great deceiver.

He has misused my power
for his own petty ends.

I say unto thee the pitar
is not a source of hatred,

But a beacon of hope.

In times gone by,
kalanor was a paradise.

It can be again.

But thou must reject
the dark ways of despero

And step into the light.

The choice is thine.

Pitar, do not forsake me.

Oh!

Oh, pitar.

Now I see...

Paradise.

It's a miracle.

It's just the normal
life force of your planet

Reasserting itself after
centuries of entrapment.

And you won't have to worry

About despero anymore.

Where is old 3 eyes?

He finally saw the light.

Well, ok, then.
We've saved the day.

Can we go home now?

There's still a lot that needs
to be done to rebuild kalanor.

We could use your help.

Sorry, kat. Duty calls.

Good-bye, shifflet.
Good luck to you all.

Hey, kilowog!

Bratwurst, my place, next week.

You're on, poozer.

What's a bratwurst?

Phew!

That katma's quite a woman.

Yeah. A good teacher, too.

But some things can't be taught.

Some things you only
get through experience.

Like?

Clarity.
