With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

And undo the future that is Aku...

 

I wonder how Artemis feels about Grayven now that he and Jade are no longer together. Especially now that she knows he definitely killed her horrible dad. Did Grayven's Artemis ever learn about her relatives on her father's side like OL's Artemis did?

 

No.

 

Mr Zoat is Synth School any good?

 

Last I checked Mother Box only used "Ping" to communicate, not "Pung".

 

She might still be getting used to the place and that's why she sounds like that.

 

Say what you will about Nurgle, but the 'Nids are pure efficiency when it comes to that stuff, all they're doing is being procedural about things.

Hmmm, fair enough, anywhere that can make a Mother Box struggle has to have some pretty out there physics going on, either that or something even more crazy is happening.

Still felt like it was best to point out just in case though.

 

I tend to feel that the Underground's focus should be on getting Synths away from the operational area of the Institute.

 

Did we ever figure out where they are and how they got there?

Edit: Nevermind, they jumped into the transtemporal green goo aboard Castle Revolving when Dr. Silvana was about to pull some dangerous shenanigans with his blood rune and they are probably in the Sheeda future Earth/Land of Summer based on the coral and the vampire sun's degenerating effects.

Grayven and Artemis bonding time! Life changing adventure! Wooh!

 

Shouldn't it be "A chunk of the mob"?

 

Thank you, corrected.

 

Gives new meaning to the term infosec.

 

Her right arm and her computer unless something's changed off screen?

 

'we've got'

He kinda already did that with Sportsmaster and Bane if I remember correctly.

Yuga Khan may have been several billions of years old, as Hinon apparently thought he was still the leader of Apokalips, so he may have been around when she was still active pre coma, which was 3 billion years ago.

maybe 'is only a few'

Well some Old Gods may be still alive.

'our temporal'

maybe remove the , there.

'moments'

 

Thank you, corrected.

Thank you, corrected.

No, he was a few hundred years old when they left the twenty-first century.

Thank you, corrected.

I think that's fine.

Thank you, corrected.

 

I wonder just how long they've been travelling by this point... Hours? A few days? How far would a clearly defensive structure allow it's guard dogs to run loose?

Spoiler: Commentary spoilered for length

Unless you want to keep walking in a different direction? Feel free.

Given that no-one in this timeline is working on undoing Identity Theft transformations? Yes...

As long as you're not trying it on assholes like Savage or Ra's. Do you want them getting in the wind again?

I don't know. Leprechauns, maybe? They are Maltusian!

Surprised she didn't punctuate it for emphasis. "Five. Billion. Years."

Don't worry, I'm sure the Fifth World will suffer its own Ragnarok at some point.

Some older gods? Assuming they follow Vertigo's rules, from Sandman. Remember Ishtar, working in a strip club, or that caveman who was a... Travel agent, I think?

Could be embarrassing, meeting someone they know. Imagine the reminiscing!

For you, maybe. I find that a hilarious image.

But he's such a fascinating subject! Surely your every waking moment should be filled with interest in his activities? He's the main character, after all.

Such insistent denial. Are you sure? Are you really sure?

...Wouldn't that defeat the whole point of a privately owned space fleet?

What he said! I can honestly see Lex being torn between getting his due recognition and having to play nice with The Alien.

Would still be amusing to see. Omake writers, get on that, would you?

It's not like he wants to be a member of the Justice League or anything, baka. But they really would get in his way, what with their concerns about individual freedoms and people's safety.

Or the league could open up, become like the DCAU version. It might take an alien invasion to get them to work with people outside their usual clique, but hey, the Sheeda stepped up to that plate.

Very optimistic, aren't you? There's a good chance anything on the surface would now be deep below, thanks to continental drift.

Space elevator, maybe? Or the remnants of one. It may be largely deserted, and the lights are just wills o' the wisp.

Useful way to lessen the sun's radiant effects? Minimise the light hitting the surface?

And that was mostly pure luck, I expect. He's fortunate he didn't end up in the previous Harrowing's era.

Could be some form of Columbian descendant culture. Or giant light-up space bugs who moved in. Only one way to see.

Dude, no need to try and flex on the Sheeda.

It's still a bizarre concept, that only really makes sense by comic book logic, isn't it?

And only a home guard of sorts. Citizen militia or state guards, not used to having do anything more than prevent any slaves from getting ideas...

"Oh, no. No. No, no, no, no. Not a chance in hell, Grayven..."

And you can see the top of that tower... Or at least a handy landing. Put those eagle eyes to use.

And he still doesn't realise whatever he does, all he'll do is make an alternate timeline... That's what you get for missing out on the big crossover, G-man.

...With the power of beating faces until someone else talks! ...Because the one you're beating up won't be doing much talking, you know?

Well, now they have a goal in sight. All they need is a plan of some kind. And I can bet what the first step is... Hoik themselves into the town via a Rainbow Bridge arrow, then hide while it lights up the place up...

 

He doesn't know they exist.

 

At least they don't have any resources anymore.

They might also be dead of age.

That Percival guy was apparently getting old and Ganthlet had to use some of his tech to make him younger.

The caveman that Death took after he was crushed under some construction materials was a lawyer.

The only immortal in Vertigo that became a travel agent was a Babylonian god that had wine with Dream in the past.

He also shows up in the Sandman Presents: Lucifer comics where he helps out our ehhe .... 'hero' and his plucky, somewhat sarcastic teenage sidekick.

Pretty sure.

Ohh he may not think of Clark like that anymore seeing as he's getting therapy.

I mean his recovery may be so slow that a crippled snail is criticizing him for being so slow, but at least he's taking it.

Yes. Truly the League has some odd priorities(said in a sarcastic voice)

Ahh time travel, let's not bring it up ever again.

Let's follow the example set by the Rick and Morty writers and not show it anymore.

They did it once and it was enough.

 

But if he did he'd laugh his ass off.

 

I think I need to read the story from the beginning, I’m missing a lot of Paul and graven stuff I used to know. Great story!

 

That is already confirmed by Mr Zoat here.

 

Yeah I knew that already, that's why I mentioned it.

 

And now the story moves to NSFW Creative Writing.

 

I am still confused about the reasoning for Sheeda willingly staying in this era. A sociopathic society of sadists or not why the fuck would they want to stay in an era where the environment quite literally drains and corrodes any shinies they loot from the past? They are perpetually on the brink of collapse... Why?! Why not relocate to distant past and rule over the rabble there? They could even keep up with the Drow cosplay if they really like it so much. Why not go elsewhen and keep playing viking without the threat of collapse constantly hanging over their heads? Is there some 1984esque conspiracy going on?

 

Supervillains aren't renowned for making good decisions, even when doing so is incredibly simple.

Maybe the leadership is worried that they'll lose control if they move.

 

You cannot have a society of supervillains let alone a race of supervillains. Stupid Chaotic Evil races only exist in tabletop games, any realistic representation would never get to be anything remotely resembling a society for any amount of time.

Supervillain leadership I could see but again not actually functioning for any notable amount of time (we saw how "well" such a thing works in Earth -14)

 

Zoat already showed us the Citadelians and Psions, both evil races down to the last member.

If Hinon was involved in making them then they could potentially be billions of years old.

And the Apokaliptians, which are ruled by some of the most evil beings in the universe and the average person may not be exactly all that good on that planet.

And they've probably done that for billions of years, which is a long time.

There are also the demons in Hell, which are made of evil, even though they're on some kind of rehabilitation thing right now they did have a society before that, and one that has lasted for at least thousands of years if not longer.

Societies made up of evil people do exist in this story.

Yeah they can be taken down and it's difficult for them to put themselves back together after that, plus there is a lot of infighting in them, but they do exist.

The leadership on Earth -14 was mostly taken down by an outside force rather than one from within, aside from that time Talon tried to destroy it.

 

didn't Grayven kill the Sportsmaster construct with the sword of the fallen?

 

Yep he did.

I think he also killed the Bane construct.

This was maybe some time after they built the cage for his Anti Life fragment, but I'm not completely sure.
