Double Trouble: It wasn't hard. I just had to keep you isolated and at each others' throats until... the plan was underway. Salineas; if the Horde controls the seas, they control Etheria.
Glimmer: That will never happen! We won't let it! Now that we know their plan, we can stop it!
Double Trouble: (chuckles) "Stop it"? Oh, this was a ruse, darling. A distraction. The Battle of Salineas is over. It happened earlier this very evening. It's too late. Salineas is gone.

"Oh Lieutenant, you're just too late! My beautiful missile destroyed the Orchidea! Soon we will destroy the Allied fleet! The USS Ancon will be consumed in fire! Eisenhower will burn! How could you hope to stop me? You couldn't save the Angel! You can't save Eisenhower! It's over, Lieutenant! Sofia's sacrifice will have been in vain! The Angel will have died for nothing! Now you finally see who I am, it's too late. From this chaos we will bring order to the world. Our time has come. My time has come. The last thing Eisenhower will see will be my glorious creation bearing down upon him! Open the missile hatch! Give up, Karl Fairburne! Your war is lost! I will be remembered as the man who won the war for the Fuhrer..."
Danny Liberty: But the emitter will only amplify. You need a telepath to...Kerrigan. You're going to use Kerrigan to bring in the Zerg.
Arcturus Mengsk: Very good.
Dan: You can't do that! You want her to break into a Confederate camp? She'll never make it.
Arcturus: I have a high degree of confidence in the lieutenant.
Dan: You can't do that!
Arcturus: You have your tense wrong. I gave the orders for the operation before we sat down for our first game. The good lieutenant should be picking up the emitter in the shops right about now. If you hurry, you can catch up with her.

With a madman's strength, Doom grabbed both Betty and Veronica and flung them back, breaking their hold on Sabrina and sending them to the floor. Archie tried to tackle their foe again, but Doom's foot came up and smashed into his chest, right at the breastbone. The redhead hit the floor and rolled, holding his chest, closing his eyes in pain, and gasping.
Doom turned back to the girl and the machine. "They're too late. The power has reached the sufficient level. Brace yourself, Miss Spellman. The voyage begins now."

"That was certainly priceless information, Pendewqell. I bet the Galactic Republic will be super happy now that they can stop the Emperor from rising to power. Probably save the galaxy a whole lot of lives, too. Maybe we can go to the Jedi Council and get a nice fat reward! So all we need to do now is travel back in time! What do you say-?"
Supergirl: I wouldn't touch that button if I were you, Brainiac!
