"Rann January, 5 - 4:48" "This is not how mission was supposed to go." "I'm tottaly walking on an allien planet!" "Wow, sis, you must say it like every day on Earth." "Actually I can do." "Wait, we can breathe this air, right?" "Adam!" "Adam!" "Great.." "I think." "Zeta Squad, these are my Rannian friends." "Sardath und his daughter, Alanna." "Miss Martian, Superboy and Beastboy." "...earthlings." "I am still figuring out the language." "This is usually when we start playing charades." "What was that?" "Such an odd sensation." " Wait, you're speaking English!" " No, they're not." "But I linked us mentally." "And I'm serving as..." "psychic translator." "They speak Rannian, we speak English." "But all now here the language they understand." " Amazing!" " It will make communicating so much easier." "Perhaps we should take this inside." "Allien animalage!" "Cool!" "Sardath, have you learnt anything more about why earthlings are unwelcome in this corner of the Galaxy?" "The Rannian Science Command is zenophobic in general." "Which is why my research into *** is being conducted quietly." "And why you haven't reported about the theft of your technology." "Exactly." "If Science Command learns ***" "the consequences could be dire for myself and my daughter." "I still don't get it." "I assumed Adam showed you this." "We are still unclear on the details." "But we have learnt there was an accident on the planet Rimbor... involving the erathling criminals knowing as Justice League." "I assume you are not associated with these ***?" "We are not members of the League." "Only these 6 were on Rimbor." "But since then the kroloteans have posted planetary watch alerts for every criminal on the League." "The Kroloteans!" "That's who stole your Zeta platform tech!" "They used it to secretly invade Earth, which is how they found about other Leaguers." "I know." "I told you that the last time you were here." "Of course!" "Kroloteans, right!" "I misunderstood you." "I thought it was just a rannian word for "thief"." "It might as well be." "Yeah, krolotean culture revolves around the stolen tech." "We heard." "Question is what we'll do about it?" "My father's Zeta shield will help." "If I can perfect the design." "In short, my shield will prevent more koroloteans from invading your world through Zeta rays." "And in the meantime Adam tells us you've located the kroloteans' zeta platform here on Rann?" "Indeed." "But the jungles of Rann can be dangerous." "you, earthlings, will need a guide." "I'll go, father." "You must complete your work on zeta shield." "But the transpotation out of the city Ranagar... is not also without risk, Alanna." "We must disguise these earthlings." "Look, I am not with this earthlings thing." "I am half-kriptonian, and Miss Martian is.." "Martian!" "You came here from Earth?" "Did you not?" "Yeah, but we are not... nevermind." "We should be fine now." "I'll creat a diversion, lead them off the train." "No, it's not safe." "I..." "You are the jungle guide, remember?" "Help him finish the Zeta shield." "Be careful." ""Beware the Jabberwock, my son!" "The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!" "Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun" "The frumious Bandersnatch!"" "Got your nose!" "No time to say Hello, Goodbye, I'm late, I'm late, I'm late!" "Jabberwock?" "Bandersnatch?" "His last name is Strange." "And down the rabbit hole I go!" "We'll arrange the coordinates soon." "Hey, sis, remember that time, you and Superboy... were visiting me in Karad, he picked flowers, ***" "It was a long time ago, Gar." "Noted." "But you remember, right, Superboy?" "How much far we, Alanna?" "We're close enough." "Now." "This way." "Now that is the surprime allien souvenir material!" "Wait!" "Lucian Bug, deadly." "Basicly, if it looks pretty, don't touch." "Noted." "It's bigger than I anticipated." "even so far in the jungle, how could something this size grow up without Science Command knowing about that?" "I'm going in." "I'll send you an image of where ***" "I found an enterance." "All clear." " 6 Zeta platforms?" " Not for long." "Beastboy and I will plant them." "You two wait here." "Incoming Zeta-transmission." "Raise the antennae!" "The escapes are blocked, we trapped inside with the bombs!" "Sir, what happened?" "The Meta-Earthlings drove us back here!" "I will cover you." "Beastboy!" "Gar!" "Are you alright?" "Yeah... yeah, i'm good, go!" "The enterance is clear!" "The Meta-Earthlings followed us back!" "This humiliation must not stand!" "Break out the Mech!" "I will capture them myself." "***" "Earth, I think." "Their minds are too allien." "It'll take hours, maybe days to learn their language psychicly." "Noted." "They are following us." "Or something is." "Something big." "Move!" "Hurry, in here!" "Superboy, Alanna, are you..." "Safe, for now." "You?" "We lost them." "Now we stay put." "And then we'll group with Adam and my father to determine what to do with the krolotenian base." " M'gann, be careful." " You too, Conner." "So, how long are you and she together?" "All my life." " you wanna talk about it?" " no." " can she hear us?" " it doesn't work that way." "Translation's basicly automatic." "She is not conscious what we say outloud." "So let's talk." "makes me a perfect confident." "It's complicated." "And weird." "I have a crash on an allien from another planet." "Who am I to judge?" "You asked for it." "See, I am a clone." "this." "M'gann somehow saw I could be more than a weapon i was created to be." "Complicated, but sweet." "Go on." "M'gann's shapeshifter." "Easy to change." "But I am the opposite." "It's become clear that porcess had used to creat me had a side effect." "I don't visibly age." "At all." "I am not immortal, I'm aging eternaly." " But I always look..." " This good?" "Seems like a shapeshifter would be the perfect match for somebody suffering your condition." "i used to think so." "Anyway she's with La'gaan now." "He's kinda a jerk, but he is good to her." "It's obvious that she still has feelings to you." "Perhaps she regrets leaving you to him." "She didn;t." "I dumped her." "She left me no choice." "They'are gone." "What's that for?" "Nothing." "family prerrogative." "get off." "Slow down, Gar!" "Sorry, didn't hear that!" "Beastboy?" "Garfield, what is it?" "Oh Gar, i'm so sorry." "I should have been there." "Done something." "But it's not your fault." "You couldn't have stopped Queen Bee." "I miss your mom too, but we have to keep moving." "It's not safe here, please." "We have captured two Metas." "It is suffcient." "Prepare for departure." "Aye, captain." "Course set for Krolotea." "We close." "...earthlings." "Miss Martian isn't translating." "M'gann, can you hear me?" "Something's wrong." "How is zeta shield coming?" "And we back to charades." "Fool!" "the Rannian is of no interest!" "Conner." "Game?" "Me?" "I'm big game." "Take care of her." "...wake up!" "Alanna, what happened?" "Oh thanks God, I can understand you again." "You and Beastboy were captured, but we rescued you." "What just..." "We risk essential systems failure." "Let us be done with these Meta-Earthlings!" "Time to go!" "You ok?" "Fine." "I got this for Beastboy." "souvenir!" "Sweet!" "Where did you get it from..." " M'gann, what did you..." " Never mind right now." "We have to get back to Earth." "I know what Justice League did on Rimbor." "I know what happened during the missing 16 hours."
