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

Unnecessary line break

 

So... I guess this means MrZoat is handwaving away the aftereffects of multiple stars exploding in Vega so Grayven can play civilization builder more...

 

Pretty much.

The sentence after 'The' should be brought closer.

Probably want to snip at her that she's now ruling genocidal lunatics.

Like watching a car wreck.

As Peacemaker said, who knows why madmen do crazy things.

Though it's women in this case, and it's giant snakes eating people instead of leaving penises around.

Potential for the Citizenry to be destroyed.

Or redirecting them to less psychotic ways.

More Orion rather than Kalibak.

Not surprising, seeing as the queen is immortal.

Remove the "

Good point.

But you should really, really try.

But it can still be about how badly he messed up.

But you're still very stupid.

'is that'

Ahh, the clown man himself.

 

Celestia's more of a Highfather.

 

I'm a little surprised The Citzenry is actually listening to Diana. Does this mean there gonna actually try to be better or are biding their time waiting for an opportunity to kill her?

 

She did use her god powers on them, so that would explain why they're following her.

 

^That godspeach^ from Scott.

All of a sudden I heard MK:4's FINISH HIM in my head. (Best sounding one imo, not that ive played many later games)

Once I stopped laughing my ass off that was.

 

Huh... I just realized... There goes any chance Grayven had of escaping the Book of Destiny...

 

Ah, over to the Renegade. Well, then. Are you going to be getting a check-up soon, Grayven? Yes, I know getting Grayven-16's forces settled and under control is important, but so is making sure he isn't lurking in your head somewhere, just waiting for the right trigger to emerge.

Spoiler: Commentary spoilered for length

Indeed. Anything in the range of 'satisfactory' is high praise indeed from Mr Control Freak. A pity he doesn't have Ratchet and the others to help him mellow out. Maybe throw some pliable Tamaranean ladies at him instead? And I see the Renegade's been keeping the important people appraised of matters.

Well, they do love their combat, whether it be up close and viscera-splattered or pummeling enemy ships form afar...

A recording, I expect, as I honestly doubt Diana would allow anything like this to continue.

Yes, should have put the work in previously, Renegade. But no, you wanted to play 'Sins of a Solar Empire: Vega edition.'

Given your usual approach beforehand, it's probably reduced your opposition to it.

Not like he would have known any more about them than you do. I suspect their encounter was random chance: His fleet comes along during a harvest, Astarte gets a tingle in her loins, next thing you know...

Since I doubt Grayven would remember meeting some pissant warlord on some minor world alongside his Father. Assuming that even happened in this timeline. And I suppose Diana would say 'so they can be remembered', concerning studying the Citizenry's history of harvests...

Presumably he employed the Orrery to settle down the stars Grayven-16 fiddled with, or threw Orange Lanterns at them until they got them stabilised... Meanwhile: Yes, terraforming is harder than it sounds. Nor is it in any way quick, without cosmic powers, anyway.

Hmm... Using the Citizenry as disposable, deniable mercenary assets in the Reach conflict?

They're already warlike, Diana. At least working with the Controllers, they'd have someone with a big stick and a bigger carrot to run herd on them.

Indeed, Diana. You can't spend all your life playing superhero. Someday, sooner or later, you're going to have to learn to rule things. Nothing is eternal...

...Not even your mother. I'm sure someday she'd like to be able to step down in favour of you, retire to a little farm, and enjoy the rest of her long life. Perhaps with a certain general in tow.

Probably a lot better than leaving her as she is, because she... She is not remotely the kind of person you want to let live, really. But since you won't take the sensible option...

Heh. Reminds me of all the stories where stuff Humanity takes for granted turn out to be exotic or outright prohibited in the rest of the galaxy. Like adrenaline.

Oooh... Be glad you won't be working on it, then, Diana, because that is what you call a project.

Yes, well. Perhaps you could find a suitably pliable candidate amongst the Citizenry's leaders who would carry on your policies, and hand the throne over to them... But I suspect that would not end well.

...That's one hell of a gap year. Now why do I see Donna finding a place here, more than she ever might on Earth?

"I hope you weren't referring to yourself, dear."

Heh, nice burn. And telling that you've made the New God of Freedom consider giving someone some restraint...

Yes, the nature of being a pigheaded fool who blunders through things and comes up smelling of roses more often than he does of fertilizer most of the time... I'd say maybe you need some time off, but the whole 'Grayven' thing's not going to make that easy anytime soon.

"To be frank, you are a mess. I don't know how your Mother Box keeps you from falling apart..."

Oh, that's not good. I mean, sure, he's got a power-up out of the whole ordeal, but...

To be fair, I doubt what little of the power Grayven-16 held is anywhere near as potent as what Darkseid commands...

...What if it comes with the risk of letting out Grayven-16's essence with it? And anything that makes you more like Darkseid? That's never a good thing.

Engh. That doesn't sound like the best idea. Having it out and about means someone could take the container from you.

And Darkseid might notice a chunk of Omega Effect being Harmonised out of existence just a bit more easily than He did a bit of Anti-Life.

No, just that Scot's never seen it before. Or knows anyone who has. That doesn't mean someone out there knows some tricks about the Omega Effect...

Indeed. Going to the one New God who might as well be God of Curiosity might not end well. And even if he doesn't play you in hopes of finding out something new, you may find the answers he gives you to be more than you wanted...

Oh, boy. Metron. His Pre-Flashpoint comics version, for added context. Known well for his constant curiosity and complex plans to learn all the things. Some of which don't pay out for millions of years. And I have no doubt he will be very interested in learning about the Renegade's... Unique circumstances and soul structure. This... Will be interesting in every sense of the word.

 

I doubt he's all that into one night stands and he may want a woman that can intellectually challenge him.

Though he may get together with Komand'r.

She not as smart as him but she's looking for a husband to increase her prestige and I doubt Dox gas all that good taste in women, so he may be crazy enough to get togetherwith her.

I don't think it did.

Also so she can see just what she's working with.

He's a Paul.

It's to be expected.

If he's like he was in the series then he may be more interested in seeing how renegade deals with Omega Effect without helping him.

 

There are at least two types of sculpting: constructive, where you add to the medium you're working with; and destructive, where you remove material from what you're working with.

You can create with tools that can only remove, in my belief.

 

Thank you, corrected.

 

At least not that kind of stupid.
Part of me would be just a tiny bit excited that I could do the pew pew eyes for real now.

 

A human who became like a New God, got infected by Anti-Life, went on a quest to regain his humanity, then ate a New God, then purified himself from the Anti-Life, then was eaten by a New God only to come back and gain control of his body with the help of his allies.

Yes, Metron will be very interested.

 

I don't think he ever ate a New God before.

 

Anyone know the chapter that the whole hera getting divorced form Zeus happened..

 

Episode 29. Homecoming. Here's a link to the entry right before it happens

https://forum.questionablequesting....stice-si-story-only.8961/page-22#post-2458371

 

Wait if what Paul said isn't what caused Flash to freak out and kill the Sheeda queen what did?

 

Don't forget the Pony Magic!
Metron will likely give up alot to learn something that doesn't exist in any DCverse!

 

"Of".

"She'd".

 

He ate the other Grayven, and this one ate him.

 

These two quotes epitomize what I've come to love so much about Grayven and his path. In the last five years I've been regularly reading WTR, this has easily been in my top five chapters. Well done Mr Zoat, well done indeed.

Also I hope Donna finds herself in this little gap year and establishes herself more. Ah who am I kidding, I'm just happy she gets something to do.

 

Ahh the previous Grayven he met he just killed, he didn't eat him.

 

Thank you, corrected.

Himon.

 

He used Anti-Life to kill the other one so... we don't really know what the heck happened unless the Author says so.

 

He actually stabbed him through the eye with the Sword of the Fallen.

He did expose him to the Equation previously, but it didn't stick.

Grayven has had exposure to it before and has some resistance.

 

Is this going to be the start of a Malvolio Green Lantern Corps? Similar to the Poglachian Green Lantern Corps, they'd be Green Lanterns who are independent of the main GLC but actually competent.

 

He’s going to make his own Green Lantern Corps? The Guardians would be extremely pissed.

 

'reign as an'

'to be a'

though this creates the possibility of a tyrannical theocratic government.

That may not be the case.

They didn't exactly like that you made them give up some control and they'll most likely increase it if you were gone.

I remember Ragnarokascendant saying that in his fic the Guardians can't breed and can't make replacements.

Given the amount of enemies they've had it wouldn't be a stretch to imagine that one of them may have made it impossible for them to make new Guardians.

Though he'd also like to destroy the multiverse if possible.

A madman.

Dox mentioned a Controller was working on draining their power.

'with them'

You may want to elaborate on how you deal with madmen.

Malvolio's time wasn't all that known for compassion.

Now this is a good question.

What would you do to a Lantern that hasn't been driven insane but is still commiting horrible acts?

Presumably you'd either kill them or lock them up.

Though you do have a good relationship with the one that can be said to own it.

Yeah I remember Kalmin mentioning this.

So he's made his own ring.
