Young Justice, Season 2: Invasion

Young Justice is an American animated television series created by Greg Weisman and Brandon Vietti for Cartoon Network. Despite its title, it is not and adaptation of the comic series of the same name, but rather an adapation of the entire DC Universe with a focus on young superheroes. The series follows the lives of teenaged heroes and sidekicks who a members of a covert team, its essentially a young counterpart to the celebrity-level famous adult team, the Justice League. The main setting is the fictional universe of Earth-16, during a time period when superheroes are a relatively recent phenomenon, and supervillians have all began working in tandem in a grand conspiracy on behalf of a cabal of key villains known as The Light.

Roy Harper (Clone):
Lex Luthor and the Light, this criminal organization he works with, abducted you. they amputated your arm.

Roy Harper:
Why? To keep me from using my bow?

Roy Harper (Clone):
No, they needed an endless supply of your DNA. To perfect their human cloning process...

Roy Harper:
So that's what you are. A clone.

Roy Harper (Clone):
Yeah... they grew me, or rather force-grew me. In a matter of months, I looked your age. They programmed me with all your memories and skills... and worse.

Oliver Queen:
Then they spoon-fed me clues to your location. I thought I was doing detective's work, but in hindsight... you've been missing three months. I'd been going crazy, so when I found you- him... I didn't question the good fortune. I had no idea it wasn't the real... the original you. No idea Luthor had stored you on ice all this time.

Roy Harper:
[to Red Arrow] So... what you're saying is, you took my place. You've been living my life for eight years.

Oliver Queen:
And he's been tirelessly searching for you in five of those years.

Roy Harper:
Huh, but not you, Ollie. You gave up on me.

Roy Harper (Clone):
I don't want to be the cause of more conflict between you two. I'd understand if you'd never want to lay eyes on me again.

Roy Harper:
I dunno. Seems the clone didn't do anything wrong. He didn't ask to be created, plus he found me. I can't blame him for this. [to Oliver] BUT I CAN TOTALLY BLAME YOU!

Oliver Queen:
Roy, I...

Roy Harper:
We were partners! Friends! How could you not know I had been replaced? How could you leave me in Luthor's hands for eight years?... And how did I not see how useless you are. Get out. GET OUT!

[Oliver sadly leaves the room]

Roy Harper:
Look, uh "Roy"... I need some time to process all this.

Roy Harper (Clone):
I understand.

Lagoon Boy:
Ugh, Neptune's beard! Let go of me! I've got to save M'gann!

Nightwing:
La'gaan, calm down. There's nothing you can do for her in your condition.

Lagoon Boy:
Then what about him? Why isn't he rescuing her? I know you dumped her, but do you really hate her that much?

Superboy:
You have no idea what I feel for her?

Lagoon Boy:
You're right, because I would never abandon her to Kaldur and his flunkies, because that's who took her...Aqua-traitor's personal ninja pal, Tigress!

Nightwing:
Enough! I'm not supposed to tell you... To tell you anyone... But Aqualad is not a traitor.

Lagoon Boy:
What are you talking about? He killed Artemis!

Nightwing:
No, he didn't. Aqualad has been on a deep cover mission for months, infiltrating Black Manta's troops, the Light, and the Reach. We faked Artemis' death. She's alive. In fact, Artemis is Tigress. If she kidnapped Miss Martian, there has to be a good reason.

Lagoon Boy:
Why am I only hearing this now? I mourned Artemis. Neptune's beard, I tried to tear Kaldur limb from limb. You should have told me!

Superboy:
No, Nightwing's our leader. We put our trust in him. I'm sure he didn't keep this from us... From all of us...without having his reasons.

Nightwing:
Look, we will figure this out. Together. In the meantime, get some rest. Thanks for backing me up in there.

Superboy:
You don't leave a guy a lot of options! You have no idea what your secrets have done to us.

Nightwing:
What does that...

Superboy:
M'gann believed Kaldur had killed Artemis. So when found him on the Reach ship, she fried his brain. That's got to be why Artemis grabbed her...to try to save Kaldur's broken mind, but M'gann doesn't know how to do that. So Manta may just kill her and kill Tigress if she blows her cover trying to save her. And we'll have lost all 3 of them because you thought it was a bad idea to share.

Kaldur'ahm's Hologram:
If you are watching this, then your summit is truly over. The Light and the Reach deserve each other. Both sides play at being partners. But the Reach believes the Light to be their naive tools of conquest, when in fact the Light has manipulated the Reach from day one.

Vandal Savage:
Shut this off.

Deathstroke:
How?

Kaldur'ahm's Hologram:
It was the Light that brought Earth to the Reach's attention by sending the Justice League to Rimbor. The Light set their trap, and the Reach snapped at the bait, fulfilling the Light's desire to thrust our world into the galactic spotlight. Part of their perverse survival-of-the-fittest scheme for the planet, which they believe will transform the Earth and the Light into the eventual rulers of the Milky Way. Though the Light made a deal to help the Reach take Earth, They have also sabotaged the Reach's efforts. They kept the advanced meta-genes out of the Reach's hands. They added a neutralizing agent to the Reach's drink so Earth's population would not become servile. They turned public opinion against the Reach, and they intentionally allowed the Team access to the scarab temple to cleanse Blue and Green Beetle. So, you see, any agenda either side imagined they shared was nothing but a carefully crafted illusion. I trust I have shattered that illusion, as well as whatever remains of this sorry alliance. Good night. (shuts off)

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...

The Ambassador:
AAH! You earthlings are a pestilence and a plague! 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:
(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.

Vandal Savage:
Impossible. Deathstroke killed you both!

Deathstroke:
Just for a little while. After all, I wouldn't want to do any permanent damage... (Shifts into Miss Martian, and telekinitically holds a sword to Savage's throat.)

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 rest of the Team arrive)
