[Nabu] Unlike the Chaos Lords,

the Lords of Order
rarely descended to Earth...

Instead, they would empower

a human being
to act as their agent.

The theory was that
a mortal's earthly ties

would allow for
a greater understanding

of the problems that
Chaos created among humankind.

[men screaming, howling]

[Nabu] Though perhaps,
in truth, the Lords of Order

simply hesitated to dirty their hands
on our chaotic world.

Arion was the first such agent

empowered by and for
the Lords of Order on Earth.

[Klarion laughing maniacally]

[Nabu] But Chaos's partnership
with a mortal,

not to mention
their sinking of Atlantis,

represented a significant
escalation of the conflict.

[loud crash]

And Arion's resulting death,
forced Order to reassess.

Thus,
they took a moment

to observe
the architect of all this chaos.

Varl'jat...

Soon to be known as Marduk.

*YOUNG JUSTICE*
Season 04 Episode 11

Episode Title: "Epidode # 4.11"
Aired on: December 12, 2021.

We. Are. So. Moded.

[sighs] Fixing this would take
a lot more than

bending a branch
back into shape.

[clears throat, groans]

Teg aremac ydaer!

You know who I'm going to see.

So you and Blood should go
on a recruiting tour, too.

[sighs]

We're gonna need
all the help we can get.

[inhales, exhales deeply]

Rehtaf, ediug ruo
yenruoj hguorht S'etaf Yloh Hkna!

- [groans]
- [Khalid grunts]

[sighs] Thanks, Doc.

I'm not a doctor yet.

Nope. Not yet.

Is she all right?

[sighs] There's a cost
to magic.

She's drained her vim vitae,
her life force.

Using the ankh
always takes it out of me.

Huh?

That spell usually takes me
to the stairs.

I wonder why we wound up here?

- Aunt Inza?
- Oh, that's why.

And where is here, exactly?

- [loud electric buzzing]
- Oh! [Gasps]

- [both gasp]
- Whoa!

Nice entrance.

[Fate] Daughter of Zatara,

you invoke our ankh
and invade our tower.

Take these children
and get out.

[wailing]

Yes! Mission time.

- [snoring]
- Beast Boy?

- [Beast Boy groans]
- Garfield?

Huh? What?

The mission.

Did you seriously not hear
the Troub-Alert?

Sure. Yeah, yeah, of course.

So, are you coming or what?

Nah. You got this covered.

"You got this covered"?

Is that our catchphrase now?

[Nabu] 7,586 years
after the fall of Atlantis,

came the rise of Babylonia.

But ruling this new kingdom
came with its own challenges.

Marduk found himself frustrated

with his Babylonian generals

and their pernicious independence
of mind.

[Klarion] Guess who?

[Nabu] The Chaos Lord Klarion
arrived, without invitation,

but with an offer of help.

Marduk's son, Nabu,
argued fiercely

against giving the Witch Boy
free rein.

But Marduk,
ignoring his son's advice,

was intrigued
by Klarion's offer.

The result...

Klarion brought a Starro-Creature
from Deep Space

to Ancient Babylon.

I can't leave. A new Chaos Lord
threatens the Earth.

Yes. She calls herself Child.

Do not waste time telling Fate
what's already known.

Then Fate knows
we need his help.

We are not
inclined to intervene.

I know exactly what
you're thinking.

We doubt that.

I do, because I had
the exact same thought.

Two Chaos Lords at each other's throats
sounded like a win.

Right up until their conflict
sank half of Roanoke Island.

We can't wait
for the final outcome.

We have to stop
the fight itself.

And you plan on doing that
with these children?

Yes, while you confront
Child and Klarion,

my Sentinels can covertly strike
from the shadows.

Your "Sentinels" are not ready
for this fight.

- We so are.
- We've been training really hard.

- We're ready for anything... more or less.
- Kind of.

[scoffs] They'll do great,
Nabu. You just watch.

Let us test that premise.

[all screaming]

Observe.

Ugh! Great.

Now, I guess I'm supposed
to prove myself.

You don't have to
prove anything to me, Trace!

Who are you?

- I'm your boyfriend.
- You're a puppet.

- I'm your puppet boyfriend.
- And I'm your puppet mentor.

[laughs] And I'm
your puppet idol.

Terrific. Who's controlling you?
Why are you here?

[all] We're here
to cheer you up.

I don't need cheering up.

[all] Of course, you don't.

[puppeteer]
What would be the point, loser?

- Who was that?
- Ignore the whispers.

- They're nothing.
- [puppeteer] Nothing, like you.

[inhales, exhales]

Noted.

A mystic test
to draw out my insecurities.

What do you have to be insecure about?
You're terrific!

All your friends think
you're great.

[puppeteer] They just don't trust you
to have their backs.

You've got
the coolest powers, too!

[puppeteer] Too bad you still haven't
mastered them.

That's why I invited you
to join the Outsiders!

[puppeteer] That's why he was relieved when
you turned him down.

That's why I wanted you
as my protegee!

[puppeteer] That's why she pulled
in Khalid and Mary to replace you.

Stop it! It's not gonna work.

Come out here and face me.

Is it Fate?
Is Nabu pulling your strings?

We're hand puppets.

We have no strings.

Besides, there's no one
back there.

[puppeteer] You're afraid
to face the ugly truth.

I'm not afraid to face
ugly you!

What the hell?

Funny you should mention hell.

[puppeteer]
Here's your ugly truth, Traci.

You're a fraud.
You don't belong here.

You're not ready
for this fight.

[grunts]

[Nabu] Marduk was not prepared
for the gifts Starro brought.

Instantly, it became clear

Starro was no solution
to Marduk's problems,

as the alien creature
put the Babylonian army

under its own control,
not Marduk's.

As for Marduk's son Nabu,

it was his fate to die,

fighting the enemy
his father had unintentionally raised.

And his death,
under these circumstances,

left the Lords of Order
intrigued.

[Khalid] Where am I?

- What in the...
- What are you doing?

You should be making hospital rounds,
diagnosing people,

helping them.

I am helping people.

I'm trying to become a doctor
and a hero.

It's the same thing,
just different methods.

[Jane] Your methods are magic.

[sighs] I thought
you were Muslim.

Mom, I... I am Muslim.

You're not behaving
like one, Khalid.

You should rely on God alone.

I gave up magic
when I converted to Islam.

Look, magic is a tool
I'm using to do good.

I mean, that's what
our faith is all about.

If you were a good Muslim,

you would listen
to your mother.

That's... that's not fair.

You're using religion
to bully me into doing what you want.

What I want is a better life
for you. A safer life.

[Muhammed] He's following in the footsteps
of your uncle, Jane.

He's Homo Magi.

He has to honor
his genetic heritage,

even if it means giving up
the study of medicine.

Dad, I'm not
giving up medicine.

I can do both,
forge my own identity.

We don't get to choose
our destinies.

You have a responsibility.

[Jane] And this is responsible?

He can't play
at being a hero, Muhammed.

I'm not playing.
I'm training, studying.

Time taken away from training
and studying to be a doctor.

I know, but...

Your father and I didn't
work hard our whole lives

to put you through
medical school...

I know, but...

only to have you run off.

You cannot abandon
your true calling.

I know, but...

Admit the truth.
We are drowning in your doubts.

You're killing us both,
because you're not ready for this fight.

[gurgling]

[sonic humming]

[snoring]

We run an entire mission
against the Headmaster,

and he hasn't moved an inch?

Hey, Beast Boss!
Have you been sleeping this whole time?

What? No. I'm awake.

Kinda not!

So what?

First, you guys say
I don't get enough sleep.

Now, too much?

There's just no pleasing you.

[gurgling]

[train chugging]

[grunts angrily]
It is on, Nabu.

Say it. I want you to say it.

- No. We don't say that anymore. We can't.
- Help!

- [gasps]
- Say it and save me.

Speed of Mercury!

Not that way.

- [pillar cracking]
- [loud crash]

- [coughs]
- Help me! Save me!

Say it, please!

Strength of Hercules!

- [straining, grunting]
- That's not the way.

You're not doing it right.

I know, but I can't.
I promised.

If you won't say it, I will.

- Don't...
- Shazam!

- [thunderclap]
- [grunts]

You don't have what it takes.

Stamina of Atlas!

[Mary grunting]

- What are you doing?
- [grunting]

You're not a hero.
You're not a sorceress.

Courage of Achille...

- You call that power?
- [choking]

This is what
real power looks like.

Stop dabbling in half-measures!

[grunts]

You're pathetic.

Afraid to be your true self,

and without enough imagination
to become something new.

Without me, you're not ready
for this fight.

[Nabu] The Babylonians
had believed Nabu to be a God of Wisdom.

He was already, in his own way,
a Champion of Order,

willing to defy his father,
Marduk,

Chaos' immortal mortal ally
upon the Earth.

What better candidate
for Order's purpose?

So the Lords of Order
recruited Nabu's soul,

now free of the limitations
of his fragile mortal form.

Elevating it
to a higher calling,

they gave purpose
to his once pointless death,

and revealed the dangers
resulting from the Chaos

of the Klarion-Marduk alliance.

Gaining an oath
of Nabu's fealty to Order,

the Lords forged
something new.

Not simply an agent of Order
on Earth,

but a Lord of Order,

created from the soul
of mortal man

and Nabu's own helmet.

The Helmet of Fate

would act as the anchor
for his spirit

on the mortal plane.

The only thing required
was a human host body,

capable of channeling
Nabu's mystic power.

Such hosts were
not always easy to come by.

Yet, Nabu became
the Lord of Order,

known as Doctor Fate,

who has for centuries

defended this world from Chaos.

- [grunts]
- [puppeteer] Bad luck magic.

You're as likely to
curse friends as enemies.

[grunts, shrieks]

Urban magic.
What does that even mean?

And what if the battle isn't
in a city?

[grunts]

You're just a kid
playing out of your depth.

You are not ready.

- [screams, groans]
- [lizard chirping]

Thanks, Leroy. You're right.

[straining] The thing is,

I live with these voices.

I work through my insecurities
every day,

but I am not a quitter.

I didn't have to join
the Outsiders.

I'm already on the Team.

Yes, I'm afraid,
but I get up anyway,

and I'm brave enough
to ask for help.

I work, I train,
I make myself better.

And I don't fear failure,
or let it stop me.

[panting]
Well, not for long anyway.

[gasping]

[screaming]

I am ready.

[Khalid chanting
Muslim Call to Prayer]

[continues chanting]

- As-Salaam-u 'A-lay'kum.
- Wa-Alay'kum-us-Salam.

I am a man of faith, science
and mysticism.

A Muslim and Homo Magi.

I am a first-generation American
on my father's side

and descended from Mayflower pilgrims
on my mother's.

I will forge a new way forward

on a path
built by those before me.

I can and will be
both a doctor and a sorcerer.

That is my jihad,
my inner struggle.

In my world, magic is
a science of its own.

Another tool from our creator,

to serve what's good.

My faith will strengthen
and guide me

as I walk along this path.

I am ready.

- [wincing]
- Look at me.

I'm beautiful, I am powerful.

I am better and stronger
than anyone and anything!

Why wouldn't you want this?

- [choking]
- No. Not you.

Forgot why you gave it up, huh?

Forgot how you traded everything
for the power?

Being Sergeant full-time
and not living your life as Mary at all?

[shrieks, coughs]

When Freddy and I came to you,
you agreed it wasn't right.

Back then, you knew
you had to stop using the power completely.

Quit it. Quit her.

Cold turkey. Or else you'd
never give her up.

No. No.

No, you need me.
You are nothing without me.

Billy was right.
I had to stop.

But that doesn't mean
I have to stop being a hero.

I can use my connection to you
to become a sorceress.

To be just as important
and powerful as you ever were,

without abandoning who I am.

- [grunts]
- [yelling] No!

Go get 'em, sis! [Echoing]

I am ready for this fight.

Ha! See? There's a reason why
I chose each one of them.

They can handle what's coming.

Is this true?

Are you ready to enter a battle

which could
easily cost you your lives?

- I am.
- Ready.

Been there, done that.

Perhaps they are ready.

Still, Fate has neither need
nor use for them, or you,

as we have no intention
of intervening

so long as Chaos fights Chaos.

[Beast Boy snoring]

[cell phone vibrating]

- [cell phone thuds]
- [snoring]

[Nabu] And thus, a single champion was
raised by Order

to battle Chaos
in all its forms.

Nabu, why do you tell me
what I already know?

So that you may understand

why there is, as yet, no need
for us to act.

Let the Chaos Lords fight,

until even the victor
has been weakened by battle.

Fate will step forward
to bring order in the end,

as we have done for millennia.

Nabu, how can you miss
the point of your own story?

You view Fate
as a single champion,

a lone warrior, capable of
triumphing over any opposition.

But this has never been true,

nor was it
your masters' intent.

The Lords of Order planned
for Doctor Fate's formation

to require two champions,

Nabu and Fate's host.

Both are equally important.

For if the host fails,
so falls Fate.

And for Fate to succeed,

Nabu must draw on
his host's diverse strengths.

Yet every host, every person,

finds their strength
in their own way.

Look at these three children,
whom you tested this day,

finding strength
through mentors, family and faith.

Honestly, do you think
I would have survived these ten years

as your host and prisoner,
without my faith in a higher power?

Our Father, who art in Heaven,

hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done,

on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day
our daily bread

and forgive us our trespasses,

as we forgive those
who trespass against us.

And lead us
not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

And the victories
you so proudly cite,

would they have come
without allies such as the League,

or the Lords of Order
themselves?

You view cooperation as Chaos.

But it is only in the combined strengths
of all these individuals,

in the unity of the disparate,

that Order may truly rise
out of Chaos.

You must know this
on some level,

Or why else would you have
allowed Kent Nelson

to push you into joining
the Justice Society,

Or allowed me to keep you
in the Justice League?

Great Nabu, step back

from the precipice
of your own arrogance,

and heed the words of those
who seek only to aid your cause,

lest you fall victim to Chaos,

as you did in your natural life
so many years ago.

Start by listening
to my daughter.

[Zatanna] We need you
in this battle.

What more can I say
to convince you?

[doorbell ringing repeatedly]

Come on, Nabu,

you cranky old fart, let me in!

- I need help.
- [Child] You're beyond help.

[yawns]

Flaw, please kill his anchor.

Big talk!

- Teekl is my familiar!
- [Teekl meows]

She won't be that easy to kill.

[meows]

[roaring viciously]

Teekl!

[bones crushing]

Mm, not as hard as
you made it sound.

No!

[all screaming]

[gasping for air]

[all screaming]

[gasping for air]

[all screaming]

[gasping for air]

[all gasping for air]
