Moutre m'.
Ase.
[sighs]
Come on. Come on!
Oh, man.
[gasps] Two bars.
[sighs]
It will have to do.
[line ringing]
Hello, ma chere.
I'm sorry.
I wish I had better news.
I've been trying for months now
with no luck
locating his spirit.
In modern terms,
I simply cannot get a signal.
I understand, Nimue.
Thanks for trying
and don't worry.
I know someone who can help.
Bye.
Hello, Great Girl.
Hi, Dad.
Any luck on the big ask?
I've been trying to convince
Nabu to cooperate.
He will not.
Well, we'll see.

*YOUNG JUSTICE*
Season 04 Episode 21
Episode Title: "Odyssey of Death!"
Aired on: May 05, 2022.
So, how exactly are we planning
to get this
Phantom Zone Projector
away from the New Gods?
Honestly, I have no idea.
We're making this up as we go.
But one way or another,
it must be destroyed.
[groans]
[groaning continues]
Kaizer-Thrall.
Get Mantis, Lor-Zod
and Ma'alefa'ak
back to the real world.
[electrical buzzing]
Move on, little one.
We are too late.
The intruders are gone,
and so is the Projector.
All this New God tech
and you didn't
put a tracer on a WMD.
It is not
New God technology we seek,
but I'm tracking the intruder's
crude rip in space-time.
And I've located
the destination
of their
most recent jump.
Metron.
At this point,
some explanation is required.
We cannot risk
delay for explanation.
Not unless one of you
has a Time-Sphere of your own.
I thought not.
[electrical buzzing]
[groaning]
[collapsing]
[gasp awake, groan]
Where are we?
What happened?
[Ma'alefa'ak] Apparently,
Metron poisoned you with Kryptonite.
Mantis brought us
back to New Genesis.
But the Projector...
Mantis acquired
the Phantom Zone Projector.
Then Lor-Zod owes Mantis
a debt twice over.
Thank you, Bug.
I underestimated you.
Now, to the Time-Sphere.
[Ma'alefa'ak] About that...
Mantis got us out,
but did not compensate
for the dimensional shift.
[electricity crackling]
Completely fried.
So we are trapped
in the present.
Yes, like the rest
of the universe.
Indeed, the news is more
good than bad.
But without the Sphere,
there's no time to lose.
We must use the Projector
to free my parents at once.
The Phantom Zone Projector
is dead,
drained of energy.
Well, after so many years,
that's hardly surprising.
Recharging it will require
substantial power.
Mantis knows just the place.
Again, we are too late.
They are gone.
There is some hope.
This Time-Sphere
is nonfunctional.
So these thieves are trapped on
this world in this time period.
And thus will seek to activate
the Projector at once.
Then why not activate it here?
A significant source of power
is required.
And again, it might help
if you explained
what this Projector's for.
At this juncture, deciding
the fate of the galaxy.
[Forager groaning]
Forager can see
Forager is till torn,
between staying with Forager
on New Genesis,
or returning to Forager's
Earth hive.
But the answer to Forager's
dilemma is simple.
Forager will go to Forager's
Earth hive with Forager.
Forager would do that
for Forager?
Of course.
Forager loves Forager.
Besides,
foraging on a new world
would be an awfully
big adventure.
[loving clicks]
We must split up
and make preparations.
There's not a moment to lose if
we want to prevent an invasion
from the Phantom Zone.
The Phantom what now?
[Dru-Zod] The boy
is most impressive.
Few others can
keep pace with Non.
This damaged child
has a very strong will.
Patience, my love.
Before I found him,
his Zone-Sickness took him deep.
Push too hard,
and we could lose him.
But there is still much
he might tell us of home.
In time, we will learn
all this Super boy knows.
[thuds]
[Metron]
Do you finally understand?
Decades ago, I received
the Phantom Zone Projector
in a technology exchange
with the planet Krypton.
So all this time, you've known there were
surviving Kryptonians...
In an inter dimensional prison,
no less?
And now another Kryptonian,
a time traveler, is determined
to set them free?
Hundreds of criminals?
The worst Krypton had to offer.
All with the
powers of Superman?
Have I not said as much?
Yes, Metron.
Eventually,
you got around to it.
Then let us move on.
I have analyzed the Projector's
power requirements.
There are multiple
potential sources on Super town.
It is essential that High father
organize their defense,
mobilizing the Divine Guard
and every New God,
high born and low,
to ensure that this rogue
Kryptonian has no opportunity
to access the power
he needs here.
But there are two other
locations on New Genesis, likelier targets,
which those gathered
here must defend.
Tarru!
Stay frosty, poozers.
[Mantis] Mantis, Ma'alefa'ak and Lor-Zod
have been recharging
the Phantom Zone Projector
for hours. [Growls angrily]
[Projector] Power levels
at minimum function.
Optimizing.
Ha!
Now that it is
sufficiently charged,
it will absorb the lake's
natural Source energy even faster.
[Mother box pings]
Looks like
we drew the winning ticket.
Radio Metron and the others.
The Source energy
from Boiling Lake
is overloading Mother box,
interfering with her functions,
including communications.
We are on our own.
Perfect.
Wait, don't you need Mother box
to, you know, keep your head?
It will be difficult,
but I've learned to overcome
such challenges.
Follow the plan.
Defend the Projector.
[all groaning]
Thank you,
Green Lantern Tomar-Re.
We've been made. Deploy.
But watch yourselves.
- You holding up?
- [snarls] I am fine!
Now we fight on my turf.
[screams in pain]
[groans]
[Projector]
Power levels optimal.
Activate. Subject Dru-Zod.
Retrieve.
[Projector]
Retrieving subject Dru-Zod.
Commencing search
for DNA signature.
Look! A retrieval.
Finally, a retrieval.
DNA signature identified.
Subject Non,
not summoned for retrieval.
DNA locked out.
This damage to the sky
does not look like damage
Foragers can fix.
Then Forager must go
help Flash.
What about...
Forager has got
Forager covered.
[yelling]
You've got him!
Now keep him contained.
But wait, you said that...
You have no choice.
Just look at him.
[yelling continues]
He's the spawn of Darkseid.
[Projector] Searching.
[fighting]
[mighty roar]
A Promethean.
Your machinations
have awoken a Promethean!
[Tomar-Re's ring] Warning.
If not contained or redirected,
Source energy cascade
will ignite, incinerating
the New Genesis atmosphere.
No.
No, I will not fail
another world.
Not on my watch, not again.
[Projector]
DNA signature identified.
DNA signature locked.
Subject Dru-Zod.
DNA identified.
Locked and summoned.
Retrieval subject Dru-Zod.
Ursa! My love!
DNA signature identified.
Subject Ursa Zod.
Not summoned for retrieval.
DNA locked out.
I will find a way
to get you out.
I swear! You and everyone.
General!
[grunts]
I've got you.
I won't let them
take you from us.
No, they're not.
Wait. How are you...
The retrieval. The Projector.
It doesn't recognize
your DNA signature.
Krypton didn't imprison
you here.
[Tomar-Re's ring]
Cascade, 61% redirected.
[shrieking]
You must hold him
for as long as necessary.
But you told me
he's claustrophobic.
I'm telling you
he's dangerous.
Whatever sheen of civilization
High father and High mother
have given him,
Orion will always be
Darkseid's son.
He will always be a monster.
No. No, that's not right.
He's not a monster.
He just needs help.
I see you, Orion.
I see you in a whole new light.
I can't imagine
your struggle, but
the fact that you fight against
the darkness
that threatens
to consume you,
It makes you more, not less.
It makes you a hero in my eyes.
- [cries out]
- [gasps]
Thank you.
You are welcome.
Flash must seal sky hole,
while Forager engages
floating cube weapon.
On it.
[screams]
Mantis warned Forager
never to return to New Genesis.
Yes, but Mantis' warning came
before Forager
trained with Night wing.
I may not know
how to close that hole,
but I can stop
anyone from using it.
No!
I have to save you.
No, you fool!
We want to get out.
The pressure, it's too strong.
But there!
The corporeal world!
[screams]
Forager!
[shrieking]
[Tomar-Re's ring] Cascade,
91% redirected.
Willpower insufficient
to maintain both
shield and funnel.
Cascade funnel failing.
Never again.
Atmospheric ignition imminent.
[groaning in pain]
Cascade, 100% redirected.
Cascade averted.
Now!
[shrieking continues]
You have been chosen by my ring
to become a member of
the Green Lantern Corps.
Now, speak our oath.
In brightest day...
-In brightest day,
-In blackest night...
In blackest night...
No evil shall escape
my sight...
No evil shall escape
Forager's sight...
Let those who worship
evil's might...
Let sentients who worship
evil's might...
- Beware my power...
- Beware Forager's power...
- Green Lantern's light.
- Green Lantern's light.
Bio-Ship, target the Projector.
[gasps]
Phantom Girl, wake up!
[gasps]
No!
What just...
[Bio-Ship and Saturn Girl
scream]
Get us out of here now,
or I will snap her neck.
[Rocket] Orion,
are you all right?
I am well enough.
But...
Where's Tomar-Re?
[melancholy music playing]
[Metron] This damaged Sphere
should provide opportunity
for further study.
Small recompense
for the loss of the Projector.
Such a waste.
[Kilowog]
Your friend, Rocket, was right.
We'll work out
the details later.
But in principle, the treaty between
the New Gods, the Green Lantern Corps,
and the Justice League
can be considered signed.
That's great. Truly.
Now we can help each other
find the rogue Kryptonian
and rogue Martian
still on the loose.
Oh, trust me, the hunt is on.
The Corps doesn't take
the killing
of one of our own lightly.
Well, at least
we captured Mantis
and confiscated
that torture cube.
Yes, Mantis will be tried
here on New Genesis.
As for the torture cube,
it seems to possess
some sentience.
Seriously?
Yeah.
We're taking the evil little
poozer to a science cell on Oa.
Forager has become
a probationary member
of the Green Lantern Corps,
but Forager is torn.
Forager wanted to accompany
Forager to Earth.
But Forager can see how excited
Forager is to become
a Green Lantern
and would never ask Forager
to give up
such an awfully big adventure
for Forager's sake.
So Forager will return
to Forager's Earth hive and Earth friends,
and probationary
Green Lantern Forager
will go with Green Lantern
Kilowog to Oa for training.
But perhaps Forager and Forager
could attempt a relationship...
long distance?
Forager's Green Lantern ring
should make
visiting Earth possible.
Until then,
take this favorite book
of Forager's.
Forager has circled passages
that recall Forager's
feeling for Forager,
which no distance,
however long, may dilute.
[loving clicks]
I'm glad I met you, Orion.
As am I.
You deal with unique challenges,
friend Rocket.
But I believe you will learn
to make those challenges your strengths.
Thank you for seeing me.
You deal with unique challenges,
friend Rocket.
Now we have to face this,
deal with it.
You need to take
a closer look, my friend.
You're worried about
the wrong things, Raq.
Thank you for seeing me.
Mama's home.
I see you, Am is tad.
I see you.
Bart, I'm home.
Bart?
[Madam Xanadu]
If I might ask, Great Nabu...
how in the world did Zatanna
get you to agree to this?
[Nabu/Zatanna]
By swearing she would
give us no peace until we complied.
Now, let us begin.
[bell chimes]
[Zatanna]
I just don't understand.
With all this power,
how could we have failed?
Perhaps Conner Kent
has attained his final rest.
Perhaps we cannot find him
because his spirit is at peace.
Perhaps...
Or perhaps
Conner's not dead at all.
And if he's not dead,
then I don't need
magic to find him.
What I need is a detective.
[Mountain Forager] Doubt, Forager,
the stars are fire.
Doubt that the sun doth move,
doubt truth to be a liar,
but never doubt Forager loves.
O, dear Forager, Forager
is ill at these numbers.
Forager has not art to reckon
Forager's groans,
but that Forager loves
Forager best, O most best,
believe that Forager
loves Forager best.
Adieu, Forager's evermore,
most dear Forager,
Forager...
[Forager trills]
Moutre m'.
