Thanks for catching it. Much longer and I would have lost it from my copy paste memory.
It's not quite over yet. We still have a chapter and interlude for wrap up on both sides.I'm a little confused by this most recent turn. Can you please explain what happened?
Guardian was trying to bring a breeding pair of Burning MArtians back to Oa, when they turned the species into the Red/White/Green/yellow martians.
Something went wrong and the intense psychic energy combined with the guardians Will for them to sleep, turned the stone prison into the Dreamstone.
There is 2 different versions of the dreamstone in the comics and I combined the artificial Doctor Destiny version with the Dream version that is broken into 12 pieces.
The dreamstone knew gnarrk wanted a family after Vandal killed his whole tribe. The dreamstone became twelve crystal children like Kole.
Knights found the cave in the 8th century (after Rip Van Winkle managed to return home and tell the tale) and started stealig the crystal kids. Only Kole was left and it woke the female Burning Martian.
The Female killed most of the knights (scattering the dreamstone fragments.). Only the ruby child was brought to paris and turned into the philosophers stone. Ra's heard about the stones and the demon going east. Vandal Savage never made the connection to his on past, because he only saw a meteor and had no idea what was inside.
October 17th in the cartoon, is the training simulation where everyone dies and the episode is called Failsafe. For half of the interlude with M'gann, she was witnessing a psychic dream of the Burning Martian killing everyone. No one on the team is actually dead(except Greta), they just have really bad headaches.
Glenn was led through the portal by Child and told each fragment can grant limited wishes (Wonder Woman 1984 created a third version of the dreamstone, created by the Duke of Deception. In the comics, the Duke was a Martian god making them all hate each other. So that's why the Dreamstone originated on Mars). Child also told Glenn, if he finds all 12, he can rewrite reality and go back to his normal life.
Glenn yelled at the Team for not trusting him, used the philosohpers stone/dream ruby to turn the martian into gold. Wasn't smart enough to revert Ratcatcher, so borrowed his cousin Danette.

So what M'gann experienced was a psychic horror-vision, with some real fire elements? Firebrand and Billy did not die to the Martian, that was in her head?
YEah. It's really hard to replicate the feeling of thinking everyone on the team died, that the Failsafe episode managed. So this chapter is definitly a bit more confusing than I would like.
It was a pscyhic dream fight with the Burning Martian, to be my version of the simulation.
I can fully get that. I didn't succeed as completely as I would like at replicating the episode style.To be honest it feels like this part of the story is missing a chapter. Part of a chapter. Now the fact that this section is not from Glenn's point of view skews things a bit; it is clear Glenn passed whatever test he needed to in order to grab that red gem. And we saw his girl companion whip up a livestream of the Young Justice team sleeping and in danger so him getting wormholed into the cave makes sense.
I'm going to try clearing it all up in the next chapter and interlude. But I was trying to replicate the confusion/fear of the Failsafe episode. And that really just thre the audience into the middle of it all.Things other than that were very confusing. I understand a bit of why Glenn is mad- he redeemed himself, but instead of TALKING to him out of sight of Jade about his actions, Young Justice screwed up his hard work. Recklessly. And displayed that they don't trust him. He literally tried to call Roy, Artemis, and successfully did call Artemis's mom to talk to them. I'd like to note that it was after he got the idea that Secret was stalking him again, but it works as an example that he was not going to hide this.
He was talking about the League trusting him to save Denver from the plants all by himself for hours, but Young Justice is supposed to be an american based training team with both Captain Marvel and Firebrand as chaperones.What two cities is Glenn talking about, what two cities did YJ "get" to protect? Happy Harbor he shouldn't know about, is he talking about something YJ did during the poison ivy/joker fiasco? What was with the byplay between Sub-Zero and Gnarrk? Yeah, one froze the latter, but it was only due to the "blue gnome said the world was at risk" factor? Basically "it wasn't personal?"
Gnarrk is just terrified of what he thinks is magic and the whole getting froze in ice part. I just wanted Glenn to have the shoe on the other foot after he was terrified of M'gann. Gnarrk doesn't know any english, so he really just knows I invaded his home and froze him and his last friend.
And for as much as Glenn yelled at the team, he's the one who woke the Burning MArtian up by freezing Kole. That ice wasn't stopping him for even as long as it took Firebrand to dig a tunnel.
Well Gnarrk and Kole don't have to keep anyone asleep now, so they can leave if they want. Captain Marvel is really the only one present who can communicate back and forth with the pair, so he'll be involved in that discussion.I strongly doubt Gnarrk and Kole(?) are going to join YJ now. They have a LOT to learn about modern society and behavior; Gnarrk is basically Hulk right now. However if a new team of "heroes" show up and these two have no reason to suspect them… Perhaps the G-gnomes will get these two sorted.
Yeah. This is all 99% correct, with only a couple slight deviations that don't actually effect how the story plays out.So! Just so everyone is clear. Gnarrk is a Cro-Magnon who lived near the fallen meteorite that gave Vandal Savage immortality. Gnarrk got a fragment of that meteorite in his chest, which gave him enhanced strength and some mental enhancement(s) which let him think while frozen in stasis. In the past Savage had to fight a Burning Martian, a progenitor of modern martians, which were devolved by the Guardians of the Universe. A burning Martian in a stasis pod landed here. In this story, a guardian came to Earth with/after the burning Martian and made(?) Cole to keep it in slumber. Gnarrk helped beat it whenever it got rowdy until the psychic singing could take effect again.
We have 3 Dreamstones in DC, so I kind of combined all 3 versions. Since the Duke of Deception is usually on Mars screing with the martians, that was my connection to the bunring martians.
