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

Zoat is Max Mercury teaching Wally any of his super speed tricks?

 

by under control do you mean he still has a soul cause that wouldn't make sense since oz said he only recently found out about the supernatural and that happened in the same episode that angel lost his soul.

 

Which episode did Giles meet the Black lantern in, again?

 

It's been established by now that the plot was off the rails even before Red Lantern happened to it.

 

Apollo did glow brightly when fairly charged. That's more what I meant... So... Solar-emitting. I doubt Tamaraneans glow like the sun. The sisters might when using starbolts, but not just walking around...
And I'm rambling... It's late, I need sleep...

 

Yes.

Why are you assuming that Oz learned at the canonical time?

The first chapter of the Black Lantern SI story I haven't written.

 

Yeah this could be an alternate universe that differs from the show and not just in the presence Zaul being there, but in other ways.

Also nice to know about Max teaching Wally some tricks.

If you do a time travel plot in the future it can somehow involve Wally seeing as he may learn to time travel thanks to Max.

 

Somewhat hypocritical. OL admonishes Raul for wasting time killing people he could (theoretically) kill later. Then wastes time inquiring about the memetic difficulties each of them have overcome.

Also it is likely that the Controllers reaction to a Black Lantern showing up would be at best ‘kill it with science’ and at worst ‘vivisect it for science’.

 

Max can only go forwards, so I imagine that Wallace would much rather not use it.

 

Well if they are somehow stuck in the past I can see it being a useful skill to have

 

I didn't realize Paul still gets visions because of what Ambush Bug did. I thought those were just snapshots for our pleasure, not something that happens in-universe. Has Paul told anyone about his visions? I mean his new visions.

 

He told a member of the League or the Team about the first visions.

It is possible that Zoat will reveal how he got these new ones in the following chapters or the end of the episode.

Maybe he had a run in with Ambush Bug again, the effects from what he did to him are coming back, or some other adventure that somehow led to him getting a look into his alternates

 

Good on Razefire for figuring out the second compulsion, all the way back on SV.

 

It probably didn't help that Zoat was pretty inconsistent about it. After it was revealed, I found I think 10 instances on just that page of the story only thread.

 

@MrZoat: Is this quoting from something?

 

Not really. OL chastises Raul and Angelina for interacting needlessly with the timeline and their alternate self in specific when they need to make sure that Krona doesn’t twig onto them, which the ending of the snippet implies he did.

 

Not that I remember, though it's quite possible that I've just forgotten it.

 

A quick use of Google-Fu reveals nothing, so I’d guess probably not.

 

I got nothing either. I had assumed it was a quote as it comes up a few times in story and is the kind of phrase that can easily stick with you. Although when I was searching I noticed that Zoat apparently used "horrors of the universe" previously, instead of "evils of the universe".

Spoiler

 

"When I am confronted by the horrors of the universe I rejoice for when I am done there will be done less" sounds very much like something you'd read from main-line Less Wrong, the part that isn't crazy. It doesn't quite show up word-for-word in this post, for example, but the sentiment is clearly there.

 

'how you should' not just 'you should'

Hopefully the Jade that died was the one that fought Anti Green, or some other evil version like her nuke happy comic counterpart, and not Green Lantern Jade, or any of the more heroic versions of her like Batwoman, assuming she was captured.

 

fracturing -> fractured (?)

 

An Alchestbreach link? Excellent choice.

 

Missing a "how", methinks.

Clearly.

 

Oh thats not good Time divergent Pauls? True AUs?

 

So all the Paul's forget the exact universe they are in.

I knew some people said that hey don't remember that and may be mindwhammied because of that, but it is interesting to know now that we have a confirmation of this, don't think there was one previously

 

Well, looks like it wasn't Saul talking yesterday. Time to ready the defences!

Spoiler: Commentary spoilered for length

In between trying to erase him from 'continuity'? Yeah, no. They aren't on speaking terms...

Honestly, it'd be like trying to talk to Deadpool when he's in 'really weird' mode. All those asides to non-existant readers...

Oh, how red their faces will be if they ever find out about the renegade...

So, Ambush Bug was aware of the Renegade's existence, but had no complaints about him... How odd... He must have assumed it was the comics Grayven.

And yourself: Young Justice. But you don't know about that, do you?

...It's basically the Wolfman/Perez era early eighties with some visual tweaks and no Kid Flash or Wonder Girl... I guess the whole Jump City thing was the sticking point...

Man, the 70's had weird cartoons...

And it never occurred to him that something had to exist to bridge those gaps? That compulsion/memory hole is really strong, huh?

<Maniacal laughter> <coughing> Ow, my lung...

Those largely exist solely for a counterpart League to visit and confront... Because Mirror Universes...

Seriously, you guys should really have been preparing for a fight...

Crud, it's a Sentinel!

Oh, funky design. Krona must have had to do some fast building to make that...

So if she dies... It goes slurping back through its' portal... Or transitions from material to physics...

Roll for Initiative!

Oh, it's tough... This is gonna be a pain...

Really major pain. Damn bad guys, getting in the way of character interactions!

And it can rip space-time a new one? Hax!

Crud, it's extra bad when the guy in charge of knowing what's going on, doesn't know what to do!

Gonna take a lot more than that, I think...

Goddamn Puzzle Bosses!

Evidently she wasn't critical to Krona's plan, then... Also, incoming Violet-induced rage...

Okay, not too bad. I bet if that were Jade-16, things would have been a lot messier...

Oh, boy... Time to run. But where and when?!

Fighting retreat. Pain in the ass, but...

...Sometimes, there's no hope of winning.

Well, things just got a lot harder for these guys. I wonder where they're going to end up? Somewhere we've seen? Somewhere new? Tune in tomorrow, especially if Mr Zoat keeps posting this early!

...it trembles, not crippled but just slightly put off its stride.

 

Faulty assumption.

 

Thank you, corrected.

No, the Jade that died was a split-off of Red Queen.

No, the fracturing is ongoing.

A what?

Thank you, corrected.
