- Vandal Savage: I've had my fill of your interference. Do not expect to survive. Kill them all. Superboy may present a problem, but we'll deal with him when the other children lie bleeding on the ground.
- Kaldur'ahm: Still you refer to us as children. No wonder our successes mount. You consistently underestimate us.
- Reach Ambassador: Remember, the Earth is now the property of the Reach, and per our origninal agreement, the Light is mearly our favored allies amoungst the humans.
- Black Beetle: Show the proper respect, or suffer the consequences.
- Black Manta: No agreement exists that makes a slave of Black Manta.
- Black Beetle: No agreement exists that guarantees the *life* of Black Manta.
- Black Manta: Manta guarantees that himself.
- [Both draw their weapons]
- Black Manta: Ignorant boy! This is not a world, a universe, in which a free man can afford to be soft. I will teach you to be ruthless, Kaldur'ahm, even if I must beat that lesson into your skull.
- Kaldur'ahm: [They fight. Kaldur knocks him out] I believe that was fairly ruthless, father. I hope it made you proud.
- Kaldur'ahm: If I may respond?
- Black Beetle: No, you may not. Manta, keep your whelp meat silent.
- Black Manta: Beetle, your insolence grows progressively less... charming.
- Nightwing: The Warworld's been activated. It's leaving Earth's orbit, heading out into space! Uh, is that good news or bad?
- Artemis Crock: [Beast Boy hugs Artemis] What was that?
- Beast Boy: I'm still just so glad you're alive. And that Aqualad's not a traitor. No more faking anyone's death for at least a year, okay?
- Kid Flash: Yeah, seconded.
- Kaldur'ahm: Agreed.
- Black Manta: Kaldur. Kaldur, what have you done?
- Vandal Savage: He has in death done more to damage my plans than any living creature has wrought in 50,000 years. I'd be impressed, if I wasn't so...
- Reach Ambassador: RAAAAGH! You earthlings are a pestilance and a plague!
- Reach Ambassador: You dare sabotage us? Dare betray US? Have you forgotten who controls the WarWorld? The Light is fortunate that we do not carve up your planet as we speak!
- Vandal Savage: That would indeed impress, as I have the WarWorld's crystal key!
- Kaldur'ahm: That was all I needed to know.
- Black Manta: Kaldur, you're...
- Kaldur'ahm: Alive, yes.
- Artemis Crock: [to Ra's Al Ghul to help her up] If you would? Uh. And I always heard how the "Great One" was such a gentleman.
- Kaldur'ahm: Impossible. Deathstroke killed you both!
- Deathstroke: Just for a little while. After all, I wouldn't want to do any permanent damage...
- [Shapeshifts into...]
- Miss Martian: ...To my best friends. Not when a little misdirection and Hollywood special effects will do instead.
- Kaldur'ahm: For we value our true friends, and unlike you, we are not short on them.
- [the Team arrives]
- Kid Flash: Hey there, Vandy! You miss me?
- Ra's al Ghul: This battle is pointless. Do not resist. The heroes have no jurisdiction here.
- Black Beetle: Meaning every piece of meat on the Light is a coward.
- Kid Flash: I so wanna kiss you now... or maybe kill you for putting us through all this!
- Artemis Crock: Hold that thought. You can decide later, when we're alone.
- Impulse: Whatcha doing?
- Kid Flash: Same old, same old. Driving the bad guys nuts. Nice look, by the way.
- Impulse: Ya think?
- Kid Flash: Yeah. Though, honestly, I always figured you'd wind up in something with a little more... yellow and red.
- Impulse: Heh. Seriously?
- Kid Flash: Hey, once this whole invasion thing's over, Artemis and I are going back into retirement. Someone needs to carry on the family tradition.
- Impulse: Dude, that is so crash!
- Black Beetle: Pathetic. Look at where your machinations have left us.
- Reach Ambassador: Free me at once. That is an order!
- Black Beetle: Your numerous failures render all orders moot. Under article 16 of the Reach planetary acquisition code, I officially declare you unfit to lead this delegation.
- Reach Ambassador: No. No!
- Black Beetle: The meat can have their way. The Reach will leave this world.
- Reach Scientist: But won't that leave behind evidence of our tampering with this planet, in violation of our treaty with the guardians of the universe?
- Black Beetle: No. Not after we destroy the Earth.
- Black Manta: I cannot comprehend this betrayal, Kaldur. How could you?
- Kaldur'ahm: I admit to being conflicted, Father. I have seen your noble side. But you left me no choice. As long as you waste your gifts on villainy, I will stand against you.
- Black Manta: It seems I have been too permissive. Clearly, boy, you require
- [puts on helmet; menacing voice]
- Black Manta: discipline.
