The Shadow of the Purists - Young Justice (2011)

POSEIDONIS, September 6, 19:27 UTC-2

Kaldur'ahm:
Speak to me of Topo.

Garth:
He was a victim of The Purists. They consider themselves to be the direct descendent of the original Atlanteans. 

Tula: 
And attempt to scare anyone they consider impure into leaving Poseidonis.

Superboy:
What qualifies as impure? You all breathe water. 

Garth: 
Tula and I appear human and thus are considered pure. 

Kaldur'ahm:
But my visible gills render me impure. 

Tula:
But only by the most rigid and ridiculous standards!

Kaldur'ahm: 
But I was just here, and there was no word of this?

Garth: 
The old prejudices have always lurked under the surface, Kaldur. But the clash between skin and scales, flesh and finds has escalated rapidly and seemingly without cause into violence and intimidation. 


Ronal: 
LET GO OF ME!!
 
Lori Lemaris:
We know you are Purists!

La'gaan:
You can't hide behind your robes and hoods!

Chian:
Do we appear to hide, barbarian?!

Wyynde:
Your kind already infects Tritonis, Nanauve, Neptunos, Lemuria, Shayeris

M'chiste: 
Even Crastinus!

Kaldur'ahm: 
Sha'ark! What are you doing with Ronal?! 

Nanaue Sha'ark:
Preparing supper.

M'gann:
You will let him go!

Nanaue Sha'ark:
Careful Earther! Come between a shark and his meal and you become the meal!

Superboy:
Try me, instead. You'll break your teeth ... chum.

Kaldur'ahm: 
Who started this?!

Ronal & Lori Lemaris:
They did!!

Ronal:
My friends and I were minding our own business when the fish-heads attacked us!

Lori Lemaris:
And what was Topo doing when you and your friends attacked him?!

Topo:
Please, leave me out of this.

Ronal:
You cannot know that was us!

Chian:
But if your kind like not your treatment here, you are welcome to leave Poseidonis!

Nanaue Sha'ark:
This is not your concern, Earther.

Kaldur'ahm:
But it is ours!

Nanaue Sha'ark:
C'mon, chum. Let's swim.
