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)
