[music continues]

[male narrator] We now return to "The Super Powers Team."

[instrumental music]

Nicholas, my man, you doing alright

for your first week with the new leg.

You wait and see, Cyborg

someday, I'll be playing basketball again.

Yeah, ha-ha. Magic Johnson, look out!

- Hey, what's that? - Cyborg, look!

[laughs] My cybernetic spider

will have this job done in no time.

[clanking]

[rumbling]

[tires screeching]

[clamoring]

[thuds]

[clamoring]

It's a stampede!

[clamoring]

You be safe up here.

[laughs]

Don't just stand there! Do something!

The company's been robbed!

Don't look at me, buddy. Call that exterminator.

Oh, great. Eight-legs is heading this way.

Hey, look! Here comes the Super Powers Team.

[whooshing]

[chuckles] I was hoping those do-gooders would show up.

[zapping]

Whoa!

You'll have to do better than that, Luthor.

[laughs] Oh, I will, Superman.

[zapping]

Oh, no. Kryptonite webbing.

I-I'm losing power.

Superman?

Watch it!

This stuff must be organic.

I-I can't break free.

I've got to get you out of this before Luthor gets away.

[creaking]

[zapping]

Guess I'm gonna have to help.

Ah, my interfacer should do the trick.

Stand back, Nick.

Go get 'em, Cyborg!

[intense music]

Ah, a danger alert? Danger from what?

Now interface with this bug's computer.

[zapping]

Ah, something's overriding

my motor controls.

[Luthor] The systems are shutting down!

[Luthor screaming]

I hope we haven't lost him.

Oh, my gosh! Look!

Hey, Luthor, here comes your fan club.

- Cyborg. - I don't believe it.

Defeated by a teenage tin-man.

Anyone who can capture Lex Luthor single-handedly

would be a welcome addition to the Super Powers Team.

- You bet! - Thanks. But, uh, no thanks.

You guys take the credit for this.

I've got to pick up a friend.

Hey, did he just turn down an invitation

to join the Super Powers Team?

[Superman] It's not the first time, Firestorm.

I've asked cyborg to join us before.

I don't believe it!

The world is full of surprises, Ronald.

[dramatic music]

[birds chirping]

[growling]

[music continues]

[whirring]

[monkey chittering]

[screeching]

[dramatic music]

[crackling]

[Darkseid] ls everything going according to plan?

Like clockwork, Darkseid.

As you can see, our computer is generating

the star gates that are sending the para-dromes

to their destinations on Earth.

[DeSaad] Within hours, thousands of my seeds of doom

will be planted throughout the planet

with the last one targeted

for the very center of Metropolis.

Excellent, DeSaad.

My seeds of doom

will be your seeds of victory, sire.

Father, allow me the honor of planting the final seed myself.

- So be it. - Think you can manage it?

- Watch your tongue, DeSaad! - Enough, you two.

I will have none of your bickering, not tonight

not when I am so close to victory

over the Super Powers Team.

[whooshing]

I can help but sense that something

is bothering you, Ronald.

Yeah, I still can't figure out

why Cyborg turned us down.

When Superman asked me to join, I flipped out.

Apparently, he wants to be left alone.

But why?

Maybe we should talk face to face.

Sure, professor.

You see, Cyborg's life has not been easy.

This medical journal tells his story.

He was once Victor Stone, a promising decathlon athlete

until a terrible accident damaged most of his body.

Fortunately, Vic's father was a cybernetics genius.

He saved his son's life by replacing Vic's injuries

with robotic components.

Since then Vic's been known as Cyborg.

- Amazing! - Yes.

But he was so distraught over his robotic appearance

that he became reclusive and shunned all publicity.

Do you think it would help if I talked with him?

It sure would be great to have someone my own age

on the Super Powers Team.

You can try.

Last I heard, Cyborg was working

at a special school for disabled children.

[crickets chirping]

[Cyborg] You're sure you don't want me to stick around?

It's getting dark early these days.

That's okay Vic. We'll all be leaving in a few minutes.

Well, see you tomorrow, gang.

- Okay. Bye. - So long, Cyborg!

Hey, uh, Cyborg. Uh, wait up.

Do I know you?

Well, yeah, sort of. You see--

You must be Firestorm.

Huh? How did you know?

Enhanced hearing. I recognize your voice.

- Far out! - So, what brings your here?

I thought you might change your mind

about becoming a Super Powers member if you knew

there was someone else on the team your own age.

- Sorry, pal, not interested. - Why?

'Cause I wanna live a normal life.

You see, even though you're Firestorm

you can still have a regular life and your secret identity.

But look at me. Take a good look.

I'll never have a secret identity.

I can't hide this face and pretend I'm somebody else.

I never thought of that.

It's tough enough getting people to accept me as normal.

Imagine what life would be like if I joined the Super...

Hey! What's that weird noise?

- What noise? - It's coming from over there.

[Ronald] Boy, you do have good hearing. Who is that guy?

Kalibak! Darkseid's pride and joy.

It's time for a quick change.

Whoa!

Sorry to bother you, professor, but we have got trouble.

Hey, who you talking to?

What?

Ah! You'll pay for that!

[zapping]

Ah, that ray... C-can't move.

Here I go again. Maybe my sound blaster will stop him.

Hey, Kalibak.

Who's that?

[screaming]

You haven't seen the last of me, metal-man.

Ha, looks like you made a friend.

It must be my charming personality.

Hm, it looks like a seed pod.

Yeah, with some sort of components stuck in it.

I'm going to signal the guys at the Hall of Justice.

Just to let 'em know we're bringing it in.

What do you mean we? This baby is all yours.

What in blazes!

Oh, my gosh!

I can't break free.

Super Powers Team, help!

Great Krypton.

[grunting]

Now to get rid of this weed.

Hey, that's what I call a fast ball.

[Superman] From what Cyborg told us, the seed's growth

must have been triggered by a special frequency.

It's possible there could be more seeds.

[clears throat] if you guys are done with me, I think I'll be going.

At a time like this?

Yeah, I've had enough thrills for one...

[Darkseid] Greetings from Apokolips.

- Huh? - Darkseid.

By now you should have encountered

the first of my seeds of doom.

Thousands more are set to sprout

in exactly three hours.

Their roots will crack the Earth's crust

creating all manner of disasters

turning your planet into a second Apokolips.

You fiend.

However, I am willing to tell you

the locations of the seeds under one condition.

The Super Powers members must pledge

their allegiance to me for all time

otherwise, Earth is doomed.

Man, that dude is mean.

[instrumental music]

If we knew where Darkseid planted those seeds

we can dig 'em up before they erupted.

He said there were thousands.

We've got to find that information.

- Can you check his computer? - Cyborg's right.

We'll send a small group from

the Super Powers Team to Apokolips

to tap in to Darkseid's computers.

While the rest of us remain behind

in case the seeds start to sprout before we get to them.

Hm. Computer tapping. Sounds tricky.

Maybe not, I know someone

who can interface with any computer.

Oh, no! I should have left when I had the chance.

[instrumental music]

I don't believe this, an hour ago

I am heading for my apartment, and now I'm on my way

to some place called Alopolips.

- Apokolips. - Whatever.

Exciting, huh?

Brace yourselves, gentlemen.

We're about to enter the dimension warp

leading to Darkseid's universe.

You mean, he lives in another dimension?

- Didn't Firestorm tell you? - No, he didn't!

[whirring]

S-s-sorry ab-about that, Cy-Cyb-borg.

[screaming]

[whirring]

We made it.

Next stop Apokolips.

[Kalibak] Father! Father!

We've just received a transmission from Wonder Woman.

She requests permission to land.

Wonder Woman, huh? Is she alone?

I, I believe so.

Well, make sure when she lands.

I'd be fascinated to hear what the Amazon has to say.

[whooshing]

[fire crackling]

[whooshing]

[whirring]

[screaming]

Ah, Wonder Woman!

How long has it been since we last met?

Not long enough.

I wish to speak with you about the seeds of doom.

[clamoring]

No one else appears to be aboard, father.

I was hoping you'd come alone.

This way, my dear. We have a lot to catch up on.

[clamoring]

Looks like the coast is clear.

- You can come out now, Cyborg. - About time.

First-class accommodations these are not.

Come on, we gotta find Darkseid's computer room.

- What about Wonder Woman? - She can handle herself.

Anyway, Darkseid likes her.

Lucky girl.

[dramatic music]

[screeching]

Quick, follow me.

Are you sure you know where you're going?

Yup, the entrance to the computer room

is at the end of this corridor.

- Alright, which way? - Gee, I...

I'm-I'm not sure. I-it's been a while.

Oh, great, our whole world depends on us

and we're lost in a castle on a planet in another dimension!

I believe it's the third entrance, Ronald.

Oh, yeah! I just remembered.

[screeching]

[zapping]

Boom

Stand back, Firestorm!

[groaning]

Now, to turn that gusher into glue!

Not bad! You really stuck it to 'em.

Come on! This way.

[intense music]

[Cyborg] The computer! You found it.

- Did you ever doubt I would? - Only a couple hundred times.

Great Galaxies! F-Firestorm!

Not so fast, DeSaad.

Oh! My clothes! He's turned them into stone!

Now interface with this computer.

[whirring]

Good work, Cyborg!

You've tapped into the seeds' locations already.

That's not all I'm doing.

If my internal circuitry reads this computer right

we can use it to transmit the data to Earth right now.

Far out!

Are you sure about this, Batman?

Absolutely, the signal's coming directly from Apokolips.

Cyborg's transmitting the locations

right under Darkseid's nose.

Great! This will give us a head-start.

I only pray that our friends escape

before Darkseid finds out.

But, Darkseid, is there no way to delay the seeds' growth?

The Super Powers Team needs more time

to consider your conditions.

I'm afraid not, my dear.

Though I might be agreeable to a delay

if you would promise to become my bride.

Surely you must find that offer somewhat tempting?

- Father? - What is it?

We've been infiltrated.

Wonder Woman, what is the meaning of...

Huh?

Activate security systems at once!

[thuds]

[zapping]

[grunting] I hope Firestorm and Cyborg are ready for a fast exit.

Well, that's there.

Now to get out of here.

- Ooh! - Ooh!

[screeching]

- Oh. - Quick, follow me!

[intense music]

- Where are we heading? - You got me!

I was afraid you'd say that.

- Whoa! - Whoa!

- What in blazes! - I don't believe it.

This whole place is filled with seeds.

[Firestorm] Even if the seeds on Earth are destroyed

Darkseid has thousands of replacements.

Maybe not. I'll hook to the computer.

I'll learn the special frequency that triggers their growth.

With a little tinkering, I can stop these pods popping

with my sound blaster.

Hey, look out. Watch it!

It's Firestorm and that metallic wimp!

The game is over, Earthlings!

[zapping]

Boom

Give yourselves up

or feel the full wrath of my omega beams.

[zapping]

I'm all set. Get ready to clear out.

[zapping]

Ah!

Oh, no! They're all sprouting.

Let's go!

The only way to stop their growth is with my beams.

[zapping]

Keep moving.

Great Hera! What's happening?

Wonder Woman!

[Firestorm] Let's get out of here before we become...

[whooshing]

[Firestorm] Ha-ha! Ha-ha-ha! We did it!

- Give me five, partner. - You got it!

Ow! Ooh... Next time let's shake hands.

Hey, guys, good news, Batman tells me

that the seeds are being collected even as we speak.

[whooshing]

Bam

[intense music]

[whirring]

[squawking]

[music continues]

[whooshing]

[music continues]

You realize, Cyborg, that you now have

a dangerous enemy in Darkseid.

Yeah, especially after that remodeling job

you did on his place.

It's time you finally joined the team.

You can see how much we need you.

Yeah, yeah, I guess

I was meant to be a member all the time.

Great! Come on.

Let me show you around the Hall of Justice.

Wait till you see this place!

And afterwards, I know a bunch of kids

who would sure like to meet the famous Firestorm.

- You're on. - You know...

I think this is going to be the start of a beautiful friendship.
