- Batman: As bad as all that?
- Martian Manhunter: Perhaps worse.
- Red Tornado: Yet this is not what troubles you.
- Martian Manhunter: Make no mistake. My niece is untrained and cannot be held responsible for this - for *our* debacle.
- Batman: No one blames her. But clearly we underestimated her abilities.
- Martian Manhunter: You understate it. In terms of raw power, she has the strongest telepathic mind I have ever encountered. Stronger by far than mine.
- Robin: Superboy, you'll create a distraction.
- Miss Martian: NO! He's offering you as a sacrifice. Aqualad would *never* do that.
- Robin: You're right. Aqualad would sacrifice himself. A mistake that just cost us our leader. Superboy is the most likely to be perceived as a threat. Motivating the aliens to deploy.
- Kid Flash: Worst case - he's teleported inside and we set him free along with Artemis - and, uh, Aqualad, and everyone.
- Superboy: [Telepathically to M'Gann] It's okay, M'Gann. It's what Superman would do.
- Miss Martian: And though all seems lost, the one thing the aliens cannot destroy is hope.
- Superboy: Hope survives because the battle is not over. Not as long as even *one* of us is willing to fight.
- Kid Flash: It doesn't matter how many fall. For new heroes, will always rise to carry on: bringing on their resources, their skills, their talents to bear to defeat the enemy.
- Robin: The people of Earth will survive this. We will rebuild, and we will thrive. Never doubt and never forget, the Earth will never surrender!
- Martian Manhunter: No, my mind is clearer now. The disintegration beam is exactly that. There is no detention facility. No prisoners to rescue. Our mission holds no purpose.
- Kid Flash: NO! You're wrong. The Zeta radiation proves she's alive. She's...
- Robin: Stop it, KF. I've been scanning for League and team signals since we got inside. They're not here. Artemis is gone. But our mission still holds purpose - to destroy this mother ship.
- Miss Martian: [as the mother ship is blowing up] Don't. Don't tell me the mission was a success. The price was too high.
- Red Tornado: Red Tornado to Cave. I fear I am all that remains of the League.
- [Red Tornado is disintegrated]
- Robin: RT!
- Aqualad: We are Earth's heroes now.
- Superboy: So what are we waiting for? A theme song?
- Aqualad: A strategy. Earth's weapons are ineffective. And it has been made tragically clear that a direct attack will not succeed.
- Miss Martian: Back to the Cave?
- Aqualad: The Hall of Justice. The human race must know that there are still heroes defending them - there is still hope.
- Aqualad: [as they're about to use the Boom Tubes to escape] Send the soldiers first.
- General Wade Eiling: Belay that! You six are assets we cannot afford to lose.
- Robin: [Telepathically] 16 seconds and counting. Manhunter take Miss Martian and go!
- Miss Martian: NO! We won't leave you.
- Robin: That's an order! We'll follow as soon as we blow those doors.
- Red Tornado: I must join the League. We will protect the planet at all costs. But should we fail, the responsibility falls to you.
- Aqualad: We stand ready.
- General Wade Eiling: I don't know who you are, son, and I don't care. But you wear the S, and you got the job done.
- Superboy: I'm not Superman.
- General Wade Eiling: Tell that to the enemy. General Wade Eiling. United States Air Force.
- Aqualad: Aqualad. Justice League. We'll help you salvage as many of the alien cannons as possible. Then we start taking back what is ours!
- Aqualad: We will target this lone ship.
- Artemis Crock: Yeah, break it down, build more, hit those ugly aliens with their own mojo.
- [Artemis elbows him]
- Artemis Crock: Ow!
- Kid Flash: Martian and Kryptonian in the house.
- [Looks at Connor and M'gann]
- Kid Flash: Uh, heh heh. Not that all aliens are automatically ugly.
