- Hawkgirl: Are you okay?
- Green Lantern: It's stupid really. Why should I feel like this? I mean, they weren't even real.
- Hawkgirl: They gave their lives for us. That's real enough for me.
- Green Guardsman: The Justice League needs our help!
- Tom Turbine: Wait! If what they said is true, defeating Ray could destroy this reality and everything in it.
- Black Siren: Including us.
- The Streak: [They watch Ray using his powers on Green Lantern] We died once to save this Earth. And we can do it again!
- [They move in to attack Ray]
- Ray Thompson: You'll be sorry you messed things up!
- [the Streak suddenly dashes into him and punches his jaw, knocking him to the floor, he gets up]
- Ray Thompson: What is this?
- Tom Turbine: In Seaboard City, crime doesn't pay!
- [slams his charged-up fists into the ground, creating a small shockwave that propels Ray into a wall, he stands up and looks at them in shock]
- Ray Thompson: You can't! I made you!
- Green Guardsman, Tom Turbine, Black Siren, The Streak, Cat Man: [they all stand side by side and raise their hands] Let justice prevail!
- [Cat Man and Black Siren throw a punch and a kick at Ray as he puts up his barrier, pushing him back slightly]
- Ray Thompson: Stop!
- [Creates a big shockwave which propels them into the opposite wall, with a column falling onto Tom Turbine, who lifts it and hurls it straight at Ray; he puts up his barrier as the impact of the column pushes him straight through the wall and outside. Ray lifts up the remains and makes it vanish, then The Streak runs in circles around him, making a whirlwind and propelling him into the air. Ray fires a beam at The Streak, knocking him down and stopping the whirlwind. Green Guardsman fires a beam pushing him to the ground; the rest of the Guild joins in and attacks his barrier continuously as he grunts and looks strained for a few seconds, then makes one last scream as he collapses to the ground, and the illusionary world fading away, revealing a ruined world]
- Sgt. O'Shaughnessey: The Injustice Guild has just robbed the Seaboard City Mint. Now they're escaping by blimp.
- The Streak: Only they would commit such a heinous act, and on a Sunday!
- The Flash: You should've been there. It was so freaky. Those cornball villains with their bad puns, and the heroes with the decoder rings! What's up with that? Still, Black Siren *was* a hottie.
- Green Lantern: Haven't you noticed that nothing here makes sense? Library books with blank pages. Ice cream trucks that never stop.
- Hawkgirl: Dangers that spring up whenever someone gets too close to the truth.
- Green Guardsman: What truth?
- Green Lantern: That your world is an illusion, a living memory of a civilization that was destroyed fifty years ago. When The Justice Guild gave their lives for this Earth,
- [Tosses the newspaper with the headline JGA Killed In Battle in front of them]
- Green Lantern: that's why they stopped publishing the comic in our world. No more Justice Guild.
- Hawkgirl: And anytime someone tries to figure things out...
- The Flash: ...nuns and dynamite.
- Tom Turbine: If what you say is true, who or what is creating this illusion?
- J'onn J'onzz: I suggest you ask Ray.
- The Streak: Ray?
- Ray Thompson: Why would I know anything?
- J'onn J'onzz: Because you are the source.
- [puts his hands on Ray's shoulders; his eyes glow followed by Ray's glowing as well. Ray suddenly cringes]
- Ray Thompson: NOOOOOOOOO!
- [He morphs into a mutated creature with torn clothes and different- length arms and a big head, everyone else gasps in shock]
- Ray Thompson: You ruined it! You ruined everything!
- [fires a beam from his forehead into J'onn's chest, knocking him back towards The Flash, Cat Man, and Black Siren who catch him as he falls unconscious, then a giant red mechanical monster tears the roof off]
- The Flash: That's it, I officially want to go home.
- Green Lantern: [opening a book at the Seaboard City library] Blank.
- Hawkgirl: What?
- Green Lantern: [opening two more] They're all useless!
- Hawkgirl: [he shoves the books off the shelf in frustration] Let's check the newspaper archives in the basement.
- Green Lantern: Right.
- [opening the door and finding a brick wall blocking the way]
- Green Lantern: Why am I not surprised?
- Hawkgirl: I've had enough.
- Green Lantern: [she smashes the wall with her mace] Ladies first.
- Hawkgirl: [turning the power on] A subway station?
- Green Lantern: Must have been an earthquake or something.
- Hawkgirl: [taking a closer look at a subway car] No. These are battle scars.
- Green Lantern: [stepping on a newspaper] You're right, and look at the date.
- Hawkgirl: 40 years ago.
- Green Lantern: The same day as the last Justice Guild comic.
- The Sportsman: [putting a stolen sports trophy on the table] Gentlemen, that's why I lead the league in steals.
- The Music Master: [indicating the antique plane he stole] Don't be so fast to toot your own horn, Sportsman.
- Sir Swami: [conjuring the ruby he took] Then it appears we have a hat trick.
- The Music Master: That leaves Dr. Blizzard out in the cold.
- Dr. Blizzard: [entering with Flash and Black Siren trapped in a block of ice] Not quite. I'd say this entitles me to victory in our nefarious contest, don't you agree?
- The Music Master: Bravo.
- Sir Swami: To the victor goes the spoils.
- Dr. Blizzard: It was nothing, my friends.
- The Flash: What are you gonna do now, Doc, turn us into snow cones?
- Dr. Blizzard: Oh, no. I have bigger plans than that. Much bigger plans.
- J'onn J'onzz: The nuclear fallout from the war mutated his DNA, giving him the ability to mold this world to his choosing.
- Hawkgirl: So he chose to recreate it with the heroes he worshipped as a child.
- The Flash: Who could blame 'im?
- The Streak: [searching for the Injustice Guild] Up there!
- Green Guardsman: [a blimp floats by] I'll let the air out of their balloon.
- Tom Turbine: Not so fast, Guardsman. Look.
- Ray Thompson: [seeing Flash and Black Siren restrained on the exterior] Holy hostages!
- The Streak: The Injustice Guild's on the move.
- Green Guardsman: Then we should be, too.
- The Streak, Cat Man, Green Guardsman, Tom Turbine: [putting their hands together] Let justice prevail!
- Green Lantern: You're all real?
- Ice Cream Man: It's like waking up from a dream.
- Green Lantern: I'm sorry. We destroyed your world.
- Ice Cream Man: No. We did that.
- Green Lantern: But now all that's left is this nightmare.
- Ice Cream Man: Being stuck in an ice cream truck for 40 years, that's a nightmare. Compared to that, rebuilding our world will be a piece of cake.
- Sgt. O'Shaughnessey: Thank you for giving us back our future.
- Black Siren: [tied to a blimp] It's no use. We'll never get free.
- The Flash: Wanna bet?
- [stabbing the blimp with one of the wings on his cowl]
- The Flash: Decorative and functional.
- The Flash: So what now? How are we supposed to get home?
- Green Lantern: I have an idea. Come on.
- [at the remains of the JGA headquarters]
- Green Lantern: Remember when Tom Turbine said he had been working on a transdimensional gateway? It's possible that...
- [spotting the device]
- Green Lantern: Yes! There it is.
- The Flash: [wiping off a layer of dirt] What good's that gonna do? He was never able to find a way to power it.
- Green Lantern: True, but maybe I can.
- [doing so with his power ring]
- Green Lantern: I don't know how long I can hold it. Go!
- Ray Thompson: [returning to the JGA after a mission] Then, at the last second, Green Guardsman flies in and...
- [he imitates an explosion]
- The Flash: [trying to prompt the stoic Green Lantern and Hawkgirl] Some friends. It's a good thing the Justice Guild was around to save me.
- Green Lantern: They're not the Justice Guild.
- The Flash: Say what?
- Green Lantern: You heard me. They are *not* the Justice Guild.
- Ray Thompson: How can you say that?
- The Streak: This is a serious accusation, young man. Explain yourself.
- Green Lantern: No. You explain this.
- The Streak: [seeing the newspaper headline] "Justice Guild killed in battle"?
- Ray Thompson: It's a hoax! Some kind of sick joke.
- Green Lantern: It's no joke. The real Streak, Green Guardsman, Tom Turbine... they're all dead. I've seen their graves.
- Black Siren: H-He can't be serious... can he?
- Hawkgirl: It's true. I saw the grave.
- Green Lantern: But it doesn't make any sense.
- Hawkgirl: Look, I don't know who that is, but the real Green Guardsman is gone, and so are the rest of them.
- Green Lantern: No. I don't believe it!
- J'onn J'onzz: [watching him fly away] He seemed to take this quite personally.
- Hawkgirl: I'll bring him back. Wait here for Flash.
- Ice Cream Man: What can I do you for, folks?
- Green Lantern: What can you tell us about those graves on the hill?
- Ice Cream Man: [suddenly nervous] Sorry, I've gotta finish my route. Can't keep my customers waiting.
- Green Lantern: What customers? I noticed you before. You never stopped.
- Ice Cream Man: Business has been kind of dead.
- Green Lantern: [grabbing him] When's the last time you actually sold any ice cream?
- Ice Cream Man: Please, no more questions. He might hear you!
- Green Lantern: Who?
- Ice Cream Man: I can't say any more.
- [driving away]
- Ice Cream Man: Have a nice day!
- Hawkgirl: Curiouser and curiouser.
- Hawkgirl: [finding John at the graves of the Justice Guild] John, I'm sorry.
- Green Lantern: You were right. They're gone. All of them.
- Hawkgirl: Then who are those people back at the mansion? Robots? Clones?
- Green Lantern: I don't know, but I intend to get some answers.
- Dr. Blizzard: We've sprung a leak. I can't control it!
- Cat Man: [throwing him out the door] Then I guess it's time to bail.
