Hey I'm back people, love all your idea's and I'm so glad you all loved Rath. I really tried with him, but I may have used some of my best Rath material, please send some if you have any idea's. I am sorry it took so long to write this. Enjoy.
Mount Justice
The team had a day off so they figured they would do some training, since there wasn't much else to do. Plus it wasn't just some waste of time at least.
Right now it was about to be Robin versus Aqualad. As per usual Ben turned into Ditto and began with his antics.
One of the Ditto's was right in between Aqualad and Robin dressed like a wrestler announcer as a microphone came down from the ceiling.
"In my left corner weighing in at...I think around 90 pounds is the comrade of the caped crusader, deputy to the greatest detective, the bird of prey, it's Robin!" Ditto announcer called pointing to Robin as a spotlight flashed on him and people cheering could be heard.
"On my right weighing at...probably about 160 pounds I'm guessing is the next Sultan of the Sea, the prince of the deep, the water warrior Aqualad!" Announcer Ditto added, with a spotlight on Aqualad along with cheering.
"Do you think we should keep encouraging this?" Artemis asked finding this stupid.
"He enjoy's it so much, it's kinda hard to tell him to stop." M'gann reasoned, always wanting to not hurt others feelings.
"Plus I think those two like it." Superboy added gesturing to Kid Flash and Robin who were smiling at Ben's antics.
"Fighter's are you ready?" Announcer Ditto called.
By Aqualad a Ditto appeared with a towel on his shoulder and standing on a stool and began giving the hero a pep talk while rubbing his shoulders, much to Kaldur's confusion. "Remember he's got nothing on ya, just keep your distance and let him come to you."
Then the Ditto by Robin repeated the process. "Keep your gloves up, and keep him guessing, and take any opening you can find." He then patted his back and left.
Announcer Ditto took that as his que. "Let's get ready to rumble!" He called out in Michael Buffer fashion.
"And the first round kicks off." Commentator Ditto said, appearing out of nowhere. "Aqualad is keep his distance, but everyone's favorite boy wonder is jumping around like some type of monkey on sugar high." He said describing the fight as best he could.
"Now Robin drops a smoke bomb covering his next attack, but if he expected our fishy friend to take the bait he's gotta do better. Yup Aqualad is just hanging back folks eyeing the smoke waiting for the cover too dissipate."
"What's this?! Robin has somehow attacked him from above and has him pinned! They say slow and steady wins the race, but speed and cleary won this round." Commentator Ditto finished.
"Fail Aqualad." The computer announced.
"Now that round one is over we spin the wheel to find out who's next." Reporter Ditto said to a camera being held by another Ditto who turned it over to another Ditto next to a wheel labeled with the teams symbols.
An 'R' for Robin, a red sheild and 'S' for Superboy, a Red 'X' for Miss Martian, a green arrow head for Artemis, an 'A' for Aqualad, a lightning bolt for Kid Flash and the Omnitrix insignia for Ben.
"Spin the wheel!" A crowd of Ditto called out as it was spun and it landed on Superboy.
"Looks like the first pick is Superboy, but let's see the next one and that will be..." Reporter Ditto said then turned to see the wheel picking Ben.
"Oh man, looks like we're being cancelled." Director Ditto called out on his megaphone then all the Ditto came together a bit depressed until only one remained, who was heading toward the ring, along with Superboy.
"Finally I won't have my money stolen from me again." Wally said grateful, that his chances of being conned are gone.
"Not gonna lie." Superboy, or Conner since that became his civilian name. "I always kinda wanted a piece of you." He finished punctuating his statements by cracking his knuckles.
"Oh you want a piece of me, then let me serve you the whole pie!" Ditto replied before slapping the Omnitrix insignia on his forehead causing his signature green flash. "Chromostone!" Ben called out his aliens name.
The two combatants charged and became locked in a bitter power, each grabbing the other's punch. Until Ben fired a rainbow colored beam from his forehead at Superboy's face causing him to grunt in pain while grabbing his face.
This gave Ben the opening he needed to deliver several punches to the Kryptonian pushing him back. Superboy held his ground and caught Ben's next punch before throwing one of his own. Superboy then punched Ben two more times before grabbing one of his arms and tossing him into the air.
Superboy then waited for Ben to come down so he deliver an uppercut. But a flash blinded him momentarily and when his vision cleared he didn't Ben, human or alien.
He looked around seeing if Ben was trying to do a sneak attack but still no sign of him. Unknown to him however was Ben had turned into Greymatter and was on top of his head. Knowing he didn't have a lot of time Ben proceeded to give Superboy a wet willie causing the Kryptonian to cry in surprise and disgust as he grabbed the tiny alien.
As Superboy proceeded to squeeze the little alien Ben transformed again into Wildmutt and pounced on him. "Gah!" Superboy cried out before pushing him off and throwing him to the wall.
But Ben transformed again into Cannonbolt and curled up into a ball before bouncing off the wall and hitting Superboy knocking him back.
"I don't know about you, but I'm having a ball." Ben quipped before the fighting resumed.
As the fighting was going on the team began to talk.
"Does Ben ever have a plan when he fights, or is he always gung ho?" Artemis asked, since that's all she has observed from every mission.
"Well from what Ben has told us, and what I have seen, I think he just has his own way of doing things." M'gann answered sincerely, even though she kinda agreed with Artemis but she didn't wanna be rude.
"Pretty sure he just runs in like KF here, then ends up fighting like a fish outta water." Robin added, then there was a green flash.
"And I believe Ben has taken that saying to a new level." Aqualad stated as Ben became Ripjaw's and was on Conner's back.
"Hey fish sticks, how are you gonna beat him now?" Wally asked.
"I swear I was going for Fourarms, stupid watch!" Ripjaws complained before being thrown once again to a wall, he leaned back on it as he faced Superboy.
"Better not turn me into Stinkfly." Ben requested as he transformed once again.
Ben then became a small white alien, with headphones and an MP3 player like device on his back with the number 10 on it. He has line like eyes and green circles on his hands, and the Omnitrix was on his stomach.
"Who is this guy?" Ben spoke, with a techno like voice with a slight pause after each word. "And why do I sound like some sort of techno DJ?" He asked to himself.
"He's kind of cute." M'gann commented.
"Ben's gonna get smoked." Wally said, a little too hopefully.
"Wanna try again?" Superboy asked jokingly.
Ben thought for a second before realizing he would probably run out if power after the transformations he did. "No, I should give myself a good workout." Ben replied, flexing a little.
Superboy normally would have gotten mad, but he knew Ben was joking. "Your loss." He said as he attacked.
Ben jumped left avoiding the attack, but as he did he split in two and the second one jumped right. "Woah." They said, causing a slight echo.
"Another one of these guys." Wally said unimpressed, since Ditto has the same powers.
"Guess two snowflakes are alike." Artemis added.
"Gee target practice, thanks Ben." Superboy joked a little, as he cracked his knuckles.
"Come on new guy you have to do something." One of the aliens said.
"I just figured it out!" The other said, but before he could do anything Superboy attacked and on reaction the two opened their mouths and a sonic cry came from both of them, pushing Superboy back and causing everyone else cover their ears. Especially Superboy who bore the brunt of the attack and his super hearing added to the effect.
Ben stopped after a few seconds as he was declared the winner. "Guess I'll call him Echo Echo." Ben said before the Omnitrix timed out.
"Sorry about that by the way, I guess I, or we, just reacted." Ben told Superboy as he got up.
"Don't ever do that again." Conner said gritting his teeth as he walked away with a ringing in his ears.
"I'll go talk to him." M'gann said before running to catch up to him.
"Well who's next?" Robin asked, not caring about what had just transpired.
"Well I'm out, need to patrol San Francisco, later and I need my Smoothie fix." Ben told them as he walked towards the Zeta tubes, but in reality he was going on a date with Zatanna.
"Do you ever train dude?" Wally asked.
"Yeah for once I agree with Baywatch, this is like the first time you stepped in the ring." Artemis asked.
"I train all the time...with uh..." Ben didn't know what to say since he usually trained with Zatanna, but he didn't want them finding out. "Red Tornado." He finished quickly then vanished as the Zeta beam sent him to his desired location.
Ben's response surprised the team since Red Tornado has stated he's only their "den mother" and that training is "the Black Canary's responsibility."
"Hello team, is everything alright." Red Tornado said walking into the room, almost as if on que.
"Red Tornado, Ben has just explained to us that the two of you train together. Is this true?" Aqualad replied.
Red Tornado knew that it was a lie, while he and Ben talked from time to time, they never trained. He was about to answer honestly when he remembered in one of his talks with Ben that sometimes a friend must lie to help another friend.
"Yes, now if you excuse me I must head to the Watchtower." He put it plainly then walked to the Zeta tubes, another thing Ben taught him was if you do lie keep it short and try to leave as soon as possible, in order to avoid further questions.
Later with Ben and Zatanna
The two were walking out of a movie theater bursting in laughter after watching "Hitman's Bodyguard." (I love that movie)
"That movie was hilarious, totally worth the extra 20 I gave the guy." Ben reminded her, since it was rated for 17 and up he bribed their way to see the movie.
"Ok you were right, it was fun. But are you sure it was a good idea to see it?" Zatanna replied, seriously not sure, but then both began laughing again.
"That was a dumb question." Zatanna said, wiping a tear.
"Actually I've heard a guy in class ask if New Dehli is where lunch meat comes from." Ben told her.
"Seriously?" Zatanna asked not believing him, but soon began lauging once more as Ben nodded.
"Man I can't remember the last time I laughed this much." Ben said, once they've regained their composure and began walking down the street.
"So what do you wanna do now?" Zatanna asked.
"I thought you needed to get home otherwise your dad would have a cow." Ben replied.
"Yeah but I made a clone of myself so I could stay out longer." Zatanna answered with a mischievous smile. "Normally he'd pick it up line that, (snaps her fingers) but thanks to Verdona's books I was able to make sure my dad would have tougher time."
"Well in that case wanna patrol San Francisco with me?" Ben asked, gesturing his thumb behind him.
"Sweet let's go!" Zatanna replied, she actually wondered if he would ask her to do something like this for a while now. She really wanted to go and beat up some bad guys because her father never her let her because he still thought she wasn't ready.
Once they were in a secluded alley Zatanna conjured up a spell to send the three of them to San Francisco, Ship was in her bag.
San Francisco
"Here we are." Zatanna stated, once they appeared into another alley. "So how do we do this?" The magic user asked in anticipation.
"First you gotta change your outfit." Ben told her.
"Your right." Zatanna agreed once she remembered she was in her usual clothes. "Egnahc em otni ym noissim tiftuo." She chanted and her clothes changed into the outfit she wore when she was in Biyalia with Ship. (remember like Gwen's outfit from the future).
"My cousin wears that in the future." Ben informed her.
"Well she has great taste." Zatanna replied, then noticed that Ben seemed a bit sad for some reason. "You ok?" She asked pulling down the hood and cloth that concealed her face and head.
Ben sighed for a moment before answering. "Yeah I guess, it's just I used to argue and fight with her all the time, but I still miss her."
Zatanna then pulled Ben into a kiss before telling him. "You'll see her again, it's not like she died. Besides you've travel through time and space, dimensions are no problem."
"Thanks." Ben replied, cracking a smile.
"Now come on let's go kick some butt." Zatanna added.
"Yeah now we're talking." Ben said with enthusiasm, then changed his sweater to black and took out his hoverboard and got on it.
"Etativel." Zatanna chanted and the two began too patrol the streets of San Francisco.
"So you just fly around until you find a crime?" Zatanna questioned, with her face now covered.
"I'm just going off of what I see in those old cop shows." Ben replied.
Later
Ben and Zatanna had been patrolling for the last hour and things were relatively quiet, considering they only went up against some common criminals.
"How come this is the only major city without some random bad guy wanting to destroy it, or the world, or something?" Ben complained, as he and Zatanna were on top of a building.
"You know my Dad always says to enjoy the peace while it lasts." Zatanna replied, yeah she was disappointed to not fight some like big super villains, but she was happy to not just be stuck at home.
"Anyway where's Ship? I haven't seen the little guy." Ben said, changing the subject.
"Watching Age of Ultron." Zatanna replied, holding out her phone.
Before Ben coulf say anything, he spotted something unusual. "Look." He urged pointing down to 3 black vans that say Lex Corp on them, that were driving on the road.
"What about them?" Zatanna asked.
"A bunch of vans at dark going towards the direction of warehouses, means there's something off." Ben explained.
"You sure, maybe your mind is playing tricks on you again? Like when you had to fight that clown guy." Zatanna replied.
"We agreed never to talk about Zombozo again." Ben quickly reminded her then added. "It's not like we're doing anything else."
"We could always make out." Zatanna suggested, making Ben forget about the whole situation for a moment, but snapped out of by shaking his head.
"Nope, sorry." Ben apologized then said. "When lives are on the line, it's hero time."
"That was so cheesey." Zatanna said.
"Thanks, now let's go." Ben replied before he got on his hoverboard and she flew.
Short while later
Ben and Zatanna were on the roof of a building across the warehouse that the three vans were parked by. They soon all opened up and out came dozens of people armed with guns of all types, dressed in street clothes so, they were obviously part of a gang.
One man stepped out who wasn't armed, at least not with a gun. He was a large black man with a beard, who was dressed better than his compatriots, but still seemed casual. He wore black pants, a blue button up shirt under a black leather jacket and had a gold chain. This was Tobias Church. (I hope I described him correctly, from Arrow)
"Still say I'm wrong?" Ben sarcastically asked.
"We need to get a closer." Zatanna reminded him, the two then proceeded to fly over and enter the warehouse via a window. They hid on behind some crates on the upper level as they watched as Church and his entourage meet two individuals with their own gaurds.
The guards, while dressing similarly to Churches men gave off a more trained and experience feel.
Ben recognized both individuals, one was Cheshire and the other was was wearing orange and black, with an eye patch covering one eye, and was armed to the teeth. This was Deathstroke.
The two teens looked at eachother eyes wide, while Ben didn't really do his research, but he knew enough that he was bad news. Zatanna as well from what her father would tell her.
"Your late." Deathstroke said with clear annoyance.
"Sorry had to make sure this clear, you know Star City is my usual gig." Church replied.
"Let's just get this over with, sooner it's done sooner we don't have to see eachother." Cheshire stepped in.
"Right on, so a little birdie said you have a deal for me." Church said, since he was ambushed after leaving a club one night, and was given nothing but a note and a headache.
"Better be good, I don't wanna have to come all the out here just to get some souvenir shirts." He added.
"It's more than good." Cheshire replied, then snapped her finger and one her men opened a crate that had some high tech looking guns. A few whistles were heard from some of Churches men.
"All right I'll bite, what's the deal?" Church asked, putting on the best poker face. Despite really wanting those guns he didn't want to seem desperate for them.
"Why nothing actually, except my associates want you to use these and create a large ruckus in Star City." Deathstroke explained.
"So that's it, a cryptic message, dragging my ass all the way here to give me some fancy guns?" The gang leader asked, surprised.
"Yes." Cheshire simply replied.
Church thought it over for a moment before saying. "I gotta know why though, otherwise I walk." He told them, surprising them now, since any other gang or crime lord would have just jumped at the chance.
"Fine if you must know." Deathstroke began then added. "My superiors want some of the League away from one of their operations-." He would have continued but Church beat him too it.
"So basically me and my crew are bait to take the heat off your fat a*." Church concluded.
"Basically yeah." Cheshire confirmed, knowing it would be pointless to try and fool him.
"What's in it for me? Besides these little toys of yours, cause I'm pretty sure Superman won't be taken down by these toothpicks." Church shot back, now having an idea what this was.
"Just get Green Arrow's attention on Star City and maybe some of the other non-powerhouses of the League and you keep the guns." Deathstroke said.
"Or we get some upgrades, or you're gonna have to choose someone else." Church said.
Cheshire scoffed at this, before replying. "There is nobody else in Star City, you're pretty much intimidating most of them right now."
"Exactly." Church said, with a knowing smirk, believing he now has all the cards.
"Listen you street urchin, this is not a negotiation!" Deathstroke replied aggressively.
"Too bad, it is now." The gang lead said, making his hands into fists with his brass knuckles already on.
While this was going on
"Well I never thought I would see this, I thought maybe drugs or something." Ben admitted.
"Yeah same, what should we do?" Zatanna whispered.
Ben took a few moments to decide as he developed a plan that wasn't just rush in and improvise. "Well we have the element of surprise, so most importantly we can't ruin that."
Then almost ad if the universe was literally listening. "Achoo!" Ben sneezed.
This obviously caught the attention of the criminal majority in the room. All of whom aimed their weapons torward where they heard the sneeze.
"Note to self, plans are useless." Ben said to himself before turning to Zatanna.
"Step in a little later." Ben ordered his girlfriend as he jumped down activating the Omnitrix before blinding everyone with his transformation.
"Wildvine!" Ben called out.
"You again!" Cheshire exclaimed, surprised by his presence, and also remembering the frustration of their last encounter.
"You remembered me, I'm flattered." Wildvine replied.
"So your the shapeshifter, I was wondering when I would get a chance to cut you down." Deathstroke said, pulling out his sword for emphasis.
"Sorry dude, salad is off the menu." Ben quipped, as he threw the grenades from his back at his opponents, instantly shrouding them in smoke.
Most of Churches gang fired blindly, probably hitting their own. Ben than began knocking out the henchmen of both sides.
Church meanwhile got out of the smoke along with some of his gang, and managed to take some of the guns Cheshire and Deathstroke were gonna offer. Cheshire saw this as she escaped the smoke cloud and chased after them.
However before she could get close, three white beams were fired at here. Thanks to her training she merely backflipped out of the way as the beams of mana shattered on ground.
Zatanna then came down her hands glowing in a white flame of mana ready for a fight. "Did you really think you could get away that easy?" Zatanna asked.
"A new one, you might be fun." Cheshire said, a little happy at facing a new opponent.
"Too bad I can't say the same about you." Zatanna replied, even though that wasn't entirely true. Part of her was scared each time she had to fight, but part of her was also excited.
"Let's change that then." The assassin simply stated, before throwing half a dozen shuriken at the magician.
"Ezeerf!" Zatanna called out, using her magic to freeze the weapons in mid air before sending them right back.
Cheshire used her sai to deflect them away. "Magic how cheap." She said unimpressed.
"Like your mask." Zatanna shot back along with a few mana projectiles, and their battle began.
With Ben
Wildvine easily handled most of the other opponents, once he thought he was done he looked to where the other weapons were and saw memebers of Deathstroke's and Cheshire gang, for lack of a better word, and began to go towards them.
However Deathstroke had other idea's and came out of nowhere and kicked Ben back a few feet.
"Did you really think it was gonna be that simple?" Deathstroke asked rhetorically, readying one of his guns and pointing at Ben.
"Well I was hoping." Ben admitted, before transforming into what he hoped would be Fourarms.
"Rath!" The orange tiger alien bellowed out as he transformed. "Let me tell you Omnitrix that keeps turning me into the wrong thing, stop turning me into the wrong thing!" Rath shouted.
"And me without my ball of yarn." Deathstroke said amused then fired a barrage of bullets at Rath, but they did nothing.
"Let me tell ya something evil villain bad guy assassin whose name is Deathstroke, Rath has two rules, Rath crushes Rath's prey and Rath crushes Rath's prey!" The Alien shouted before running at the assassin.
Rath swung at Deathstroke, who in turn dodged it by backing up slightly. Then Deathstroke aimed his pistol at Rath, but before he could fire it Rath backhanded it away, before kicking him in the gut, sending him into several crates.
"Let me tell ya something evil assassin, who fires puny guns at Rath, the more you shoot Rath with those puny guns, the more Rath wants crush you flat as a pancake!" Rath shouted.
"Fine then." Deathstroke shrugged off, since his guns were not effective he took out his two swords. "I guess I'll have to cut you down to bite size pieces."
"Let me tell ya something overrated assassin that probably charges way to much, if you wanna piece of Rath than you just bit off a piece Rath that's bigger than your stomach could chew!" Rath shouted back.
"That made no sense." Deathstroke replied.
"I know!" Rath responded, before running at the villain with a roar.
Back with Zatanna
Overall the fight had been stalemate, Zatanna attacked from a distance avoid getting close, while Cheshire kept dodging until she could formulate a plan.
"So what is this, date night?" The female assassin asked
"Least I got a guy." Zatanna shot back, it's weird, before she would he flustered when someone asked her that question, now it's not a problem.
"Ah I didn't even get a chance." Cheshire mocked pouted, while throwing more shuriken at her flying opponent.
"Like you had one." Zatanna replied putting up a shield.
"Touché." Cheshire complimented, she normally never meant opponents who lasted this long and it was rarer that there would be playful banter.
Before anything else was said, Cheshire threw down a smoke bomb and in an instant disappeared. This worried Zatanna cause now she wouldn't know where her attacker would come from.
Rather than panic Zatanna took in a deep breath, and crossed her legs like she would when sitting down. She closed her eyes and concentrated, hoping she could detect the assassin, as she floated in a meditative state.
Cheshire from her position saw this and almost laughed. But rather than be reckless, since there was the possibility of her enemy baiting her into exposing herself.
So Cheshire threw another pair of shuriken at and angle so it would look like it came from a different direction, but to her surprise, her target merely floated out of the way.
Frustrated by this, Cheshire threw several more as a diversion before jumping she began to silently sprint across one the walkways on the upper section of the warehouse hoping to ambush Zatanna.
"Eterla Morbulous!" Zatanna chanted, the spell caused the surface on which Cheshire was running to break causing her to fall down. Before she could hit the ground Zatanna trapped her in a bubble of mana.
"Got you." The floating hero said, triumphantly, but Cheshire smiled behind her mask. Apparently the Shuriken she threw were still in play, since Zatanna made her move just as Cheshire made her's. So they were still in the air until one scratched Zatanna's left arm.
This caused Zatanna to grab it in pain, and lose focus, however, thankfully for her, these shuriken were not laced with poison. When Cheshire landed on the ground, instead of attacking like she wanted she was given new orders and disappeared.
With Ben
The battle between Rath and Deathstroke was very one sided, towards Rath's favor. Since all of Deathstroke's weapons either didn't make contact or proved ineffective.
"Stay still!" Rath shouted, as Deathstroke just jumped out of the way of another punch.
Deathstroke responded by delivering several blows to the alien with his swords. This only caused Rath to back up a bit, like if a fly had flown into his face.
Deathstroke then pulled out a special purpose gun. It looked like another handgun but it was the bullets that were special. He had a variety of ones, from explosive, incendiary, armour piercing if needed and so on. He decided to go for the explosive ones.
"Let me tell you something patchy the pirate if you wanna keep using guns fine, cause nobody's got bigger guns than has right here!" The alien then flexed his muscles, to talk emphasize his strength.
"Let me tell you something, shut up." Slade said before firing the shot. Rath responded with a huge leap and the bullet only hit the wall. So Deathstroke kept firing causing alot of damage but not to Rath.
Rath grabbed a crate and threw it at his opponent, Deathstroke fired thinking it was some desperate move, but the explosion from that shot created a smoke cloud.
And somehow Rath disappeared. How could something that, big, bright and loud do that? Slade thought.
He didn't wonder long before he knew it Rath was behind him and after saying "BOO!" Backhanded him into a wall.
The assassin recovered quickly though and as Rath was about to attack again, he dodged and delivered a series of well place blows, these did nothing but gave him some breathing space.
"Oooo karate, I'm gonna call you karate man, okay karate man." Rath stated amused, rather than angry for once.
Before either could make a move Rath spoke up again. "Hey tell you what, Karate Man, I'll hold real still like a stack of boards so you can chop me in half with your hands ok."
"Shut up you overgrown house pet." Deathstroke replied before charging at Ben with his swords. Just before they could make contact Rath grabbed his hands.
"Let me tell ya something dumbstroke, you know the difference between me and a stack of boards? Boards don't fight back!" The alien shouted with glee, having finally trapped his prey.
Rath then jumped high and wraped his arms around Deathstroke with his head pointing down. "Polaris Piledriver!" Rath called as they descended back down, intending to inflict some serious damage.
However Deathstroke was able to reach for a flash pellet and activate it after shutting his one good eye. "Ah!" Rath shouted as the brief flash stung his eyes.
This allowed Deathstroke to break free and position himself correctly before he hit the ground, but the fall still hurt, though not as much as it would if he had not anything.
As Deathstroke picked himself up, Rath attacked having already recovered and wanting, some payback. "Sirius Buttkicking!" Rath called out before literally kicking Deathstroke and sending him flying into the fall.
As Deathstroke got up, he recieved orders through his ear piece. "Was the "Sirius" like the star, or "serious" like important?" He asked, generally curious.
"Like the star." Rath replied.
"Just wondering." Was Deathstroke's next statement, before throwing down a smoke pellet and escaping.
"Ben are you ok!?" Zatanna asked with worry, having come back after Cheshire vanished, well actually she transported all the knocked out criminals that didn't get away outside and tied up first.
Rath still mad that he couldn't finish the fight turned to her and said. "Let me tell ya something magic lady, (beep) nothing can hurt Rath (beep beep) except (beep beep beep) what's that beeping!?" Rath asked, not being able finish his sentence.
The two looked around and saw nothing so Zatanna decided to do a little magic. "Wohs su eht noitacol fo eht dnuos." She casted.
The result was a small blue transparent sphere in Zatanna's hands, then expanded, going through objects until the walls. As it did this several small area's were lit up and they knew bombs had been planted.
"Let me tell ya something bombs, if you think Rath is gonna be..." His answer was lost as all the bombs went off simultaneously.
From the outside the whole building burst into flames, that nobody would have survived. Except for the two hero's who were protected by Zatanna and her putting a barrier around them.
"Let me tell you something pile of rubble that tried to kill Rath, Rath is unkillable!" Rath shouted at nobody except the burnt ruble.
"Ben." Zatanna called, getting the attention of the alien. "Change back right now." The magician ordered with a serious look in her eye. Now that the fight was over Rath was not needed.
"Pffft, whatever, I was getting bored anyway." Rath replied before pressing the insignia to change him back to human.
"Well that happened." Ben stated.
"Yeah and we couldn't capture any of those guys, or stop Church and his gang." Zatanna stated having realized it.
"Where's Ship by the way?" Ben asked, just now noticing the absence of the pet alien.
"Ship." They heard a deep voice say, and they saw Ship who commandeered one of the vans opening up the back, where they saw several knocked gang members and some weapons, but no Tobias Church.
"Nice going boy." Zatanna praised, even though Church got away, at least he didn't have these dangerous weapons.
Ship then exited the van he upgraded and went over to Zatanna and rubbed her leg affectionately.
"Guess we should get out of here huh, cops will be here soon." Zatanna suggested.
"Yeah, let's go." Ben agreed the. Zatanna teleported them to a different location.
Unaware they were that on top of another nearby building Red Arrow was watching, as he put down his binoculars he narrowed his eyes.
Ivy Town
"Well this was fun." Zatanna commented, as the exited Sam's Smoothies.
"Yeah, too bad I didn't get a souvenir though." Ben replied.
"Well how about this?" Zatanna questioned then pulled him in for a long kiss.
When they broke Ben smiled and said. "That works."
"Well I better go before my dad finds out about my clone." Zatanna said.
"We'll talk tomorrow." Ben replied then the two parted ways.
Mount Justice
"Thank you for bringing this information to me." Batman told Red Arrow, who just debriefed Batman on what he saw.
Which was Ben and some unknown magic user thwarting an arms deal between Tobias Church, Deathstroke and Cheshire.
"Who do you think it is?" Roy asked about the mysterious magic user.
" I don't know, but I'll talk to Zatara, and do some research myself." Batman replied.
"What do you want me to do?" The solo archer asked, since going out on his own he had been trying to get more respect from the League.
"This is a League matter, and you aren't part of the team either, so nothing." Batman told him, causing Roy to scoff and walk away.
Hidden Location
The light was holding their simultaneous screen meeting with Cheshire and Deathstroke, who had just debriefed them on what had transpired. "This Tennyson is becoming a pain in our sides." One voice spoke up.
"Calm yourself, getting upset changes nothing." Another replied.
"As long the League is unaware of out plans then success is guaranteed." The voice of a female added.
"Exactly, for now we must not reveal our light." A last voice confirmed.
Again sorry it's been so long, finals at school, and my work at my family's restaurant takes up alot of time. Hope you enjoyed this, but sorry if it was a little bad I was trying to get it in before the end of May. Again this is being co-written with FrozenFlames12.
