Chapter 25
"Mordred!" Merlin stood before Robin, raising his staff to attack.
The ancient wizard didn't get a chance to fire anything at all, never uttered a word. He lurched forward, blood creeping from his mouth. He fell to one knee.
"Merlin!" both Wally and Robin cried. They both were at the old man's side in less than a second.
Artemis and Roy didn't waste any time-they both fired their arrows at the forest.
Those same said arrows hit a magic shield and came back at them. Everyone scrambled out of the way.
"The sword belongs to me, child. Hand it over!"
Robin took small breaths, trying to think of a way out of this situation. There really wasn't one but his hand went to a bird-a-rang and threw it as hard as he could. "Wally, get Merlin out of here! Don't stop!"
Wally didn't argue with Robin's tone. She picked up her grandfather carefully into her arms and took off.
"Letting your only real protection leave you, Arthur? Perhaps your new persona isn't as smart as I first thought." Mordred came out into the open and grinned as he caught the bird-a-rang in his hand. "A toy? The great Arthur Pendragon is using toys against me!?"
Robin was mad. But something clicked inside of him, as if he knew what Mordred was going to do. He raised Excalibur, as if he wanted to fight the dark wizard himself.
Mordred smiled. He raced out of the forest and at the child, sword raised as well. The hail of arrows did nothing to slow the villain down any. Well, until a certain Boy of Steel stood in his path. Mordred raised his sword, thinking to stab the foolish boy. Upon impact, Mordred's sword was shattered all the way to the hilt. he was surprised.
Conner picked up Mordred by the front of his tunic and grinned. "You didn't think we'd let you get near Robin, did you?"
"As a matter of fact, I did." Lightning came down, hitting Superboy. Mordred grinned, waiting to be freed.
That pissed off Conner. He was smoking but he didn't feel anything more than a tickle down his spine. "Was that suppose to hurt me?"
Mordred knew he was in some deep crap now. He was thrown up against the nearest tree, finally released from the freaky teen that had him. He slowly got to his feet as the two archers and the dark haired teen drew closer.
"Guys! We need to go. Now!"
"I think not, Arthur."
The skies grew dark above them, then they opened up to torrents of rain and sleet.
"What the hell!?" cried Roy as he tried to take cover.
That was when the fireballs came down from the sky and everyone was stuck dodging them, the ground and trees becoming ablaze with flames.
Mordred took this chance to take Excalibur from Robin and he lunged at the small teen.
Both hit the ground.
Mordred was the first to get up with a victory Smile on his face.
"This is why should have been Camelot's King. I am a far better warrior than you will ever be Arthur Pendragon." Mordred yelled as he walked over to Robin and slammed a foot on Robin's back causing him to cry out in pain. Once Mordred had done that he reached down and grabbed a fistful of Robin's black hair and jerked him up so that he was facing Mordred.
"Let me tell you a little secret Pendragon. When I am through with you I plan on taking Guinevere and making her mine. Oh the things I will do to her and I will show her what a real man is and not some want to be king." Mordred growled out.
Robin saw red at the mention of what Mordred would do to Wally and headed butted the evil magician hard in the face causing both to cry out in pain but Mordred let go of Robin who took that chance to grab Excalibur from Mordred's hands.
"I will never let you touch Wally as long as I live." Robin yelled out as he readied his sword for an oncoming attack but none came.
Instead Mordred was attacked by everything under the sun from bat-a-rangs to flashes of green light to arrows.
"Nor will we ever let you hurt those that we have sworn to protect." John Steward yelled out as he tried to trap Mordred in on of his bubbles only to have it fired back at him.
Batman threw several bat-a-rangs at Mordred which made their mark.
"Ah Sir Kay. Why am I not surprised that you would be close to Pendragon." Mordred smirked as he threw a lighting bolt at Batman. "And the other knights as well."
Robin had enough of Mordred taunting his family and friends. He let out a roar and all of a sudden the sky which was dark due to Mordred's magic turn to day and a great fireball appeared in the sky heading for Mordred who didn't have enough time to evade and was hit head on and sent flying into tree.
Everyone looked up to see Morgan Ley Faye in all her raging beauty really pissed off was the only word that described her.
"How dare you threaten those that I care about?" Morgan yelled as she threw another Fireball at her foster son.
Batman had heard stories about the rage of Morgan Ley Faye but had never thought he would see it in person. He wasn't going to admit it but he was scared.
Mordred didn't even have time to spew any remarks as he was pummeled to the ground. It was when Morgan formed a sword of pure fire did he say a spell that would make a portal to the other realm where he prayed that Klarion was not waiting for him. The brat was in love with Guinevere's reincarnation and would do anything to protect her.
"Sorry I can't stay and play but mark my words Arthur Pendragon I will have the sword Excalibur and Guinevere as well." Mordred yelled before he entered the portal.
Robin fell to one knee completely exhausted from the ordeal.
"You know now that I think about it and based on what I have just heard I think I prefer Klarion having a crush on Kid Flash than Mordred." Robin pointed out as he was lifted up into his mentor's arms. For once he didn't care about being treated like a baby as he was too tired to care.
"Aven contacted me as soon as she got Merlin to a safe place." Morgan said knowing that everyone would be wonder what she was doing in England.
"What happened to Merlin and where is Kid Flash?" Conner asked.
"An old battle wound that flares up from time to time. As for Aven she is currently tending to her grandfather." Morgan replied.
"I have a question. Based on what I have seen from you to and history which is not always right. You and Merlin are supposed to hate each other right?" Artemis asked as she checked her arrows.
"Sweetie, Merlin and I have been together for centuries and there came a point that we couldn't stand each other. The love was always there but somethings you space to think. So we decided that when Maeve was grown up that we go out separate ways for a while just to see the world. We didn't really reconnect until we found out that Aven was Gwen's reincarnation. Aven is everything to Merlin and myself. We would do anything for her and I know that Robin and the Justice League would do the same thing." Morgan explained with a smile towards everyone.
"You are right about that." John Steward said. The truth was that he would die for any of the members of Young Justice and Roy as well. He knew that his fellow Lanterns on Earth would do the same thing as Guy loved to be around kids and Hal was an uncle to Wally and Robin.
"I think that we should discuss this back at the Cave where Robin can rest." Batman said in his no nonsense tone of voice as he looked down at his semi sleeping ward.
Morgan nodded her head and conjured up a portal that would take them back to the Cave.
Next chapter as Robin recovers Wally sneaks in and things get heated between them in a good way.
AN: the next chapter will have sexual themes in it. But not enough to make the story M I hope.
Ideas are welcome for upcoming chapters.
Reviews would be great and don't forget to give a shout out to Malaizjan DeJesus for her help with writing this chapter.
