Chapter 16: Problems
It had been roughly an hour since Artemis had called all panicky. The four adults decided to take shifts. Zatanna and Rocket looking for Artemis and whoever else Klarion had til midnight, then Nightwing and Aqualad from midnight to six. The men decided to take the longer shift, seeing that Mary Ella and Opal needed their mothers more tonight than they would their fathers. Zatanna and Raquel changed into their costumes and wished their daughters goodnight. They did the same to their husbands and hoped onto Zatanna and Dick's two of many motorcycles and drove away.
While they were driving down the road, Zatanna cast a spell for the motorcycles to follow a certain road, and tried to sense magic from a 15 mile radius. Luckily that worked, and Zatanna and Rocket soon arrived to a familiar castle. Rocket was confused as Zatanna had her eyes wide with terror. Rocket looked back and forth from Zatanna's crazy wild eyes and the mid evil castle.
"Oh my gosh!" Zatanna whispered hoarsely. Rocket sighed.
"Ok, I don't get it," She said in an annoyed voice. "It's just a mid evil castle, not a fashion designer's mansion!"
Zatanna looked at her with eyes filled with terror. "Raquel," She said, addressing Rocket's real name, "This 'mansion' is my great grandfather Zatara's. His powers were put inside of it when he died. Each single trick he could do was stored neatly in separate boxes all around this mansion." Raquel started to talk, but Zee kept going, "And the power I sensed wasn't his magic, Raquel, it's Klarion's. We have to stop him, Raquel. Promise me you'll help." Zatanna gulped at the sudden thought that they might not be able to live through this battle. It had been years since they had fought with Klarion, at least well over five. Klarion's magic may have grown over the long period of time, and had become stronger.
Raquel nodded as the two women walked into the castle, which just happened to be unlocked. The castle was made of old stone, which made it look like a movie set, not an actual castle. Moss grew in between cracks all over in the stone and a few plants were growing through slits between slits of marble on the floor. Rocket and Zatanna walked out to the middle of the room, on a round ancient rug, facing back to back in case anything wanted to attack them. To their surprise nothing happened. They sighed and slightly smiled, not thinking of the trick that was going to be played on them. The ground creaked below them and doors opened, gravity pulling them down into the dark.
They fell on hard concrete, groaning as they tried to get up and move their bodies from the cold flooring. They soon got up and saw a faint light in the distance. Being as curious and as hard fighters they were they decided to walk to the light. As they walked closer the light got brighter and brighter until they saw someone tied up to a chair, hanging their head down on their knees. It was clearly a woman. being that her hair was quite long and her breasts showed in her shirt. Her hair was blonde, and her skin was a beautiful tan.
Zatanna looked at the woman and thought. She kinda looks like Artemis. Then it dawned on her. It was Artemis! Zatanna and Raquel seemed to have the same feeling as they looked at each other with wide eyes. They ran, but were stopped about halfway to Artemis. Zatanna and Raquel's vision blurred and turned dark, as they collapsed suddenly on the floor. A red glow came on suddenly behind them. It outlined a familiar figure, and a cat. A dark laugh echoed off the walls and floors, just coming back again and again. Klarion reached down and grabbed the two unconscious female heroes by their hair and smiled.
"Well, well, well," Klarion snickered. "Once again you fall into my brilliant trap. Now all I have to do is wait for the rest of the gang to fall and you're all mine!" HE laughed evilly and then stopped suddenly when the cat meowed.
"I know, I know There's nothing I could actually use them for, but's it just so fun!" Klarion said smiling at his cat. Teekl meowed once more.
"Yes, I know you get to use them as toys too," Klarion said solemnly. Klairon tied the two women up with magic, on chairs next to Artemis, and M'gann, who was not shown in the light till then. "I love my new toys," Klarion said laughing, but once again was interrupted by his annoying cat.
"I KNOW I KNOW!" He screamed. "THEY ARE YOU'RE TOYS TOO I GET THAT!
Teekl was satisfied and left, followed by ticked off Klarion, leaving four unconscious women in the Light, literally.
How did you like it? Bad? Good? I hope good, but I can't force you to like it. I have an announcement to make, you guys. Don't hate me or anything or be mad at me, just listen. I am probably only going to do 20 chapters in this story and basically finish it. I've been working on this story for a while and I've decided that once I hit at least 20 I'll wrap it up and complete it and then move on to the next story. Don't feel sad or mad just yet. I may actually write a sequel later once I've finished another story of mine, which might be a while, but don't loose hope. If you guys encourage me to keep updating or putting new chapters in my stories then I know I'll have to write another one for you guys. Just and FYI, every review or PM I get from a person really helps. I've had a few people actually PM me about stories that I write, and look how far I've gotten! Even if you don't have an account I encourage you to just tell me what you think. I feel that this story has really not been a very good success, since I haven't been updating, but one review, just one would definitely encourage me. Thanks for reading my story, keep watching out for new chaps!
