YOUNG JUSTICE EPISODE 19!
SQUEEEEEEEEE!
We open in Roanoke, with Klarion the Witch Boy and as soon as he opens his mouth I remember why I hate him. Oh X'hal that WHINY NASALLY VOICE. He summons several other sorcerers to his location. And they start casting a spell.
Cut to Mount Justice and Superboy and Miss Martian are departing the Bioship with... groceries? OH MY GOSH THIS NEEDS TO BE A FANFIC. "THE SHOPPING ADVENTURES OF CONNER AND M'GANN"!
Artemis and Zatanna enter, being the BFFs they are, talking about whether or not Zatanna is joining the team permanently. (Please do Zatanna! I need more ladies to fangirl!) Aaaaand then the adults just vanish into thin air and the chant of the spell resounds in the air ominously. OH NOETRY!
After the opening we watch the adult sorcerers vanish leaving Klarion alone, and then we cut to Fawcett City where Billy Batson is watching news feed about him winning a battle as Captain Marvel. His uncle promptly vanishes, as well as a random mom off the street. Billy worries about disappearing too, if he turns into Captain Marvel. Aww, it's okay Billy, let me hug you.
Zatanna and Robin are at the computer, surmising the situation. I have a little continuity flail at Robin pulling up Zatara's spell from "Revelations" to help Zatanna track down the magic energy that performed the spell. And when Zatanna expresses uncertainty in herself, Robin encourages her. Aww. Cute.Still don't ship them I think, but their interactions are just adorable.
AWWW and there's Superboy rescuing a baby with a little Superman symbol on his jammies and the baby touches Superboy's insignia. TOO... MUCH... CUTE! Oh but wait! It gets better! We're now at the high school where they've set up their "refugee camp" AND ARTEMIS IS SINGING TO THE KIDS?! MY HOMEGIRL I LOVE YOOOOOOOOUUUUU! SQUEE AND THEN MY SHIPPER HEART SWELLS WITH ARTEMIS'S GENUINE CONCERN FOR WALLY'S FAMILY AND SUGGESTING HE SHOULD GO CHECK ON THEM AWWWWWW!
And then poor Billy tries to Zeta into the hideout but the computer doesn't recognize him. Fortunately for Billy, Aqualad, Robin, and Kid Flash broadcast a message to all the TVs and stuff, encouraging the kidlets to stay calm. And there's adorable cameos of Mal and Karen and Wendy and Babs and Bette taking care of babies. I propose that Young Justice takes care of babies every episode. Human babies, animal babies, it doesn't matter. I need this cuteness in my life.
...Holy cow is that bus in danger AGAIN? Well, I guess I shouldn't be surprised. It's Greg "Yuppie Couple" Wiesmann after all. AND THERE'S ROCKET! Hiya awesome-looking lady!
Billy makes his way to an air field and petitions a lady pilot. With way more swag than any ten-year-old his age should have. Holy cats Billy, that was disturbingly hot.
Kaldur and Wally talk about whether or not they're desperate enough to try the Fate helmet. Zatanna pipes up from behind that she's ready to try the locator spell. They give it a whirl. It works. Way to go Zatanna!
Back with Billy, he thanks Amber, the pilot, for giving him a ride. And she mentions it's her birthday OH CRAP SHE'S GONNA DISAPPEAR. I realized it the moment Billy did. And now he's stuck in a pilotless plane. Noooooot good. DON'T DIE BILLY!
Commercial break and... uh... what? I'm confused. We're watching the beginning agai-OH WAIT THIS IS FROM THE ADULTS' PERSPECTIVE. They're going to think the kids have disappeared! KLARION AND THE OTHER WARLOCKS SPLIT REALITIES OR SOMETHING! OH MY GOSH. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LET THERE BE LOTS AND LOTS OF AWESOME PAPA WOLVES AND MAMA BEARS AS A RESULT OF THIS. HOLY CATS SPORTSMASTER UNMASKED, STARTING A RIOT OUTSIDE STAR LABS. SHOW. SHOW. MY HEART CANNOT TAKE THIS. Sportsmaster and Riddler are unmasked and getting away with something from Star Labs.
AND THEN BATMAN AND ZATARA HAVE THE SAME CONVERSATION ABOUT THE FATE HELMET?! AHSFLAKFHALSKH!
Back in the kids' reality, Billy Batson is being BAMF and piloting the plane all by himself. Oh you adorable little badass you. He says his catchphase and becomes Captain Marvel. The plane vanishes but there's Amber, falling to her death. Captain Marvel goes and saves her. He makes his way into the cave and finds Bats and Zatara. The three of them figure out what I did a few paragraphs earlier; that the world is split into two realities, one for adults and one for kids. And Cap can go between them. So he does and finds the Young Justice team. And there's this hilarity:
M'gann: He's Captain Marvel!
Wally: Yeah, and I'm Speedy Gonzales. Look, just because he believes he's Cap-
Billy: Gee Wally, do I really have to bring you nachos and pineapple juice to get on your good side?
Lol. Also, again, DISTURBING AMOUNT OF SWAGGER THERE BILLY. DEAR X'HAL AND I THOUGHT MY SQUIGGLY FEELINGS FOR INAPPROPRIATELY HOT THIRTEEN-YEAR-OLD ROBIN WERE BAD.
There's a wonderfully amazing montage of scenes switching back and forth between the realities, in which the team plans their attack.
Ugh, Klarion is creepy to the infinity. But hey, cute Spitfire moment. Wally suggests to Artemis that they attack the cat. That fails and HOLY-NO. NONONONONONO I CANNOT DEAL WITH A GIANT CAT MONSTER THING. NIGHTMARES FOREVER. Meanwhile the adult heroes attack the adult villains and Zatara manages to trap the warlocks in the crystal thing. Back in the kids' universe, the team is still getting their butts kicked. Looks like Zatanna is about to unleash hell and get awesome. Yay! Billy zaps over to tell the team do destroy the focusing gem.
NO ZATANNA DON'T PUT ON THE HELMET! NO NO NO NO NO NOOOOOO! Well, I guess you do look pretty awesome but NOOOOOOO!
As Fate!Zatanna starts battling Klarion, Billy zaps back over to tell Zatara what's happened. Then does a cool burrowing drill thing. Fate!Zatanna is having trouble holding onto her powers, since apparently the helmet split along with the realities. Crap. The team finally breaks through Klarion's shield and Fate!Zatanna traps Klarion in a glowing ankh. Kid Flash and Captain Marvel grab the respective gems and in a flourish the realities are reunited. Yay!
...OH THAT IS NOT FAIR. Klarion just snaps his fingers and he's released from the ankh? Screw you forever Klarion. Go die.
And Fate's not going to let Zatanna go. Aww crap. Zatara's going to take her place isn't he? Oh jeez my heart may not be able to handle this.
Oh jeez here it comes, oh jeez, oh jeez...
OH AND NOW A REUNION BETWEEN WALLY AND HIS PARENTS? AND THEN BILLY AND HIS UNCLE? AND ARTEMIS AND HER MOM? Ugh. That hurts. Show, why you do this to my heart? Zatanna moves into her room and then has a little cry once she's alone.
And then we end on the requisite Light scene with them bringing the Starro bud to their hideout. If I didn't hate them before, I most certainly hate them now. All that just for a starfish piece? SCREW. YOU. FOREVER.
But yay, what a good episode! Can't wait for next week's!
