"Right, you're a lord of order." "Oh, no, not me." "I'm just an old coat Fate used to put on until my wife, Inza, convinced me there could be more to life." "Ah." "She was a real pistol, that Inza." "Anyhoo, Klarion's after the helmet." "If he gets his sticky little mitts on it he'll turn the planet into his own personal playground of pandemonium."

"The bubble will give you just enough time to do what you need to do." "I have no idea what I need to do." "Have faith in what you can't explain." "Believe in what you can no longer deny." "Twenty-eight, 29, 30." "Come on, come on." "I want that helmet and I want it now." "MISS MARTIAN :" "Wally, we're in trouble ." "Tell Kent we need Dr. Fate." "[SCREAMING]" "[SCREAMS]" "A test of faith." "KLARION:" "Hey, dumb kid." "You put that on, you may never get it off." "Okay, okay, no problem." "I'm not here, I'm just delusional." "KENT:" "Still don't believe?" "Seriously , kid, how'd you get so bullheaded in 15 short years?" "But you're" " You're" "Yep, but don't feel bad." "Soon as this little brouhaha is over my spirit will ascend, and I'll be reunited with my beloved Inza." "Uh, o" " Okay." "Wait, does that mean that I'm --?" "Ah, you're alive." "But your soul no longer controls your body." "See, we're inside the helmet." "You put it on, and my soul got sucked in." "Probably because I spent so many years serving its master." "Master?" "Nabu, the real Dr. Fate." "One of them lords of order I told you about." "He's the guy controlling your body now." "Wanna watch?" "KLARION:" "Give it up, Nabu!" "Order went out of style in the 20th century." "NABU:" "This battle is pointless." "You sought to take the helmet before it gained a host." "But you are too late." "Shut it, you old fart!" "NABU:" "Brat." "[KLARION SCREAMS]" "[SCREAMS]" "What gives?" "Well, it is your body." "Then let me control it." "With Fate's power and my speed" "Sorry, kid, doesn't work that way." "But you can see why I haven't put on the helmet in 65 years." "And if Fate loses this fight?" "You see Inza before I do." "[NABU GRUNTS]" "You're out of practice, Nabu." "And that pathetic host body, zero affinity for the mystic arts." "[THUNDER CRASHING]" "[NABU GRUNTS]" "Ooh." "Rainbow power." "[TEEKL MEOWS]" "I am paying attention, you stupid cat." "Case you hadn't noticed, I'm winning." "NABU:" "It is difficult for a lord of order or chaos to maintain a presence on the physical plane." "I am bound to the helmet and use a human host." "But that is not your way." "You're babbling , Nabu." "Am I?" "[HISSES]" "Teekl!" "I can't believe you would assault a defenseless pussycat." "NABU:" "We both know that creature is no cat, witch boy." "And without your familiar, you have no anchor in this reality ." "Bully ." "Killjoy." "Geezer!" "Holy carp." "We're out of here." "[SCREAMING]" "[GASP ING]" "Show's over." "Yes!" "That's how we kick it on the earthly plane." "Uh, it's over, right?" "So why isn't Nabu taking off the helmet?" "NABU:" "Because the Earth needs Dr. Fate." "I will not release this body." "He can't do that." "Can he do that?" "Can, but shouldn't." "Nabu, this is not the right candidate." "The kid's soul belongs to the world of science, not sorcery." "NABU:" "True, but I do not appreciate being permanently hidden away useless and isolated for decades at a time." "Chaos must not be allowed to reign." "That won't happen again." "The boy will take the helmet and make sure you're put to good use." "Yeah." "No, I swear." "And in the meantime, I'll stick around, keep you company." "Wait, what happened to you ascending, seeing Inza?" "So you believe now, huh?" "Don't sweat it, kid I'll spend a few millennia here, then see Inza." "That's the great thing about eternity, it's eternal." "NABU:" "The bargain is acceptable ." "Some free advice before you go." "Find your own little spitfire one who won't let you get away with nothing." "For example , that" "[ARTEMIS CLEARS THROAT]" "You never said what happened to you when you put on the helmet." "Energy from the thing rewrote my brain's beta waves." "I was bio-scripted into becoming Dr. Fate for a few minutes." "No big." "Wait, you're still claiming there's no such thing as magic?" "Heh." "If that's how you feel, why keep it at all?" "Souvenir." "Geek." "KENT:" "Find your own little spitfire one who won't let you get away with nothing." "Hello , M'gann."
