April 7, Some Where in New York City, 2:37 PM
Agni silently clenched his fist around the hilt of his sword in anger and exhaled deeply.
"Are you okay?" asked Zatanna
"I'm fine." Agni replied staring at his sword "Wally can you please go and make sure everybody's safe?"
"Sure thing Black-Ranger" said Wally zooming off
"What are you going to do?" asked Robin gazing at the figure who was approaching them.
"I'm going to go stop him and you guys are going to get as far away as you can." Agni said stoutly
"We're not leaving you here by yourself!" said Artemis
"Yes you are." Said Agni, turning to face the approaching figure
"We're a team and we won't leave you." Kaldur said changing his water-bearers to large sabers
"You guys want to get killed?" Agni said sarcastically
"Yes!" they said in unison
"Then listen carefully; if we fail one of you must do this one thing, inside one of my pockets there is a black tarp like thing if, we fail pick up my bag and throw it into it. Agni said he saluted them and turned to walk towards the Warlock
"What will happen if we do that?" asked Robin
"It will tear holes into space and time itself destroying the world. And wait for my signal then come to my rescue." Agni said over his back
"He's joking right?" Wally asked "Right?"
Are we linked mentally M'gann?
Yes we are
Good
Agni dragged his sword on the ground making a trail in the dirt behind him as he circle the Warlock for a few seconds choosing a place to begin fighting surveying the area and making a battle plan in his head.
"My greetings Abaddon." He finally said
The Warlock removed his hood revealing a pale skinned young man with streaks of red covering him here and there.
"Ahh if it isn't the Black-Ranger the unbeatable, who thinks he will someday, take me down and become a legendary hero blah blah blah" Abaddon laughed heartedly.
"This isn't our dimension foul beast, you want to fight? Fine! But we will not destroy another dimension."
"On the contrary young one, I quite like this place, very easy to rule. No Rangers to bother me. I have all the powers of Hell at my disposal. Who are you to question me?"
"Who am I?" Agni chuckled. "I am the Blackranger!"
Agni raised his blade and charged at him.
But Abaddon was ready; He let forth a stream on fire, which would melt steel itself, at Agni.
All the team gasped when they saw Agni leap into it, carelessly they thought.
Abaddon laughed as he eased up on the fire
His laugh was cut short
4 daggers thudded into his cloak and bounced off, as Agni stood up midst the molted tar that was a minute ago the street. Agni shook some tar off his cloak and stood up.
"I've learned a few tricks since we last met Abaddon."
Abaddon snarled and conjured a large sword "so have I."
"Then lets see who is the better this time eh?" Agni said charging at him again
Abaddon shifted his sword into his left hand and shook off his cloak. He was wearing a black and silver robe opened in the front with a vest of black scales for armor and skulls on both shoulders being held in place with spikes going through them. He lifted his sword with his right hand which had a large metal gauntlet with metal spikes coming out of the knuckles, his other hand was:
A demons arm.
It was swollen, grotesques, red and had huge claws with long disgusting nails on it.
Agni circled around instead of attacking.
"What have you done to yourself? Weren't you ugly enough before?" he taunted with a small grin
Abaddon lowered his sword and raised his demon arm to gaze at it. "Laugh as much as you want young elf, for my beautiful arm will be the last thing you see I promise that Agni, oh yes I promise that. For I am ABADDON THE HALF-DEMON, AND ALL SHALL FALL BEFORE ME!"
"Meh, typical bad-guy speech." Said Roy from a short distance away
"That is extremely creepy." Artemis said poised to strike at Agni's order.
"If Agni starts getting head over heals we'll go and help him whether he like it or not." Resolved Zatanna.
Abaddon lunged at Agni driving his sword towards his stomach but Agni easily parried it with his hidden dagger now out and ready to fight. Agni brought his sword in low and his dagger went high, Abaddon palm deflected the dagger and block Agni's blade with his conjured sword. He struck at Agni's right side sending him flying to the ground from the sheer force of the blow.
Agni stood back up wearily
"Some hit you got there" he said picking up his sword from the ground
Abaddon lifted his sword over his head and brought it down onto Agni head, Agni rolled over and took a quick and deep swipe with his dagger on Abaddon's normal arm. Abaddon drop his sword and it disappeared.
"You bastard! You dare wound me?" he said
"Shut up you egotistical psychotic maniac." Agni said rolling his eyes (and yes his hood was still darkened)
"And you dare talk to me like that?"
Agni tossed a throwing dagger at his face, which Abaddon promptly bashed it aside with his claw, and ran at Agni with his claw ready to smash him before Agni could lift his sword
Agni saw him coming. "oh SH-"
The claw knocked him on the right should sending him flying across the street into a bus.
"It" Agni moaned rolling over to his back Time to help guys… and gals he added as an afterthought
"Let's go Team!" shouted Robin throwing batarangs at Abaddon
"Eb dnuob yb leets" shouted Zatanna pointing at Abaddon, Metal chains appeared out of nowhere and wrapped themselves tightly around him.
Abaddon thrashed around of the ground as arrows pounded into him exploded causing him extreme pain. Miss M raised several cars and bashed them into him as Superboy jumped on him pounding him with his fists with unrelenting fury, with Kaldur behind him slashing him with his Water-Bearers. Abaddon flexed and burst the chains sending Conner off balance, he then proceeded to smack him with his claw tearing his shirt and knocking him into a near by building.
He stood up and stared at them he started to chuckle and it turned into a hideous laugh
"Well I must say Agni is very resourceful finding new lackeys to keep me from killing him, but remember you stand with him, you stand against me you new ruler. Remember my words foolish humans." He turned to Agni and said: "You may think you can defeat me but remember they will turn on you like all others. Keep your heritage hidden well Agni or you may find yourself without friends once more, your ranger friends are not here to protect you." Abaddon gave one more chuckle and slowly started to fade away in the mist. Artemis's arrows went through it and exploded somewhere behind him.
"Well that was a nice speech." Said Robin with a small smile. "I'm a little whelmed right now."
"Uh where's Agni?" asked Wally running up to them
"Damn where is he?" said Connor brushing off his clothes and looking around.
"He's over here!" called M'gann from next to Agni
"Move I can heal him I think." Zatanna said running up "Laeh mih" she said lifting him up and waving her hand over him…." Everyone held their breath
Nothing happened
"Why is it not working?"
Agni lifted her head and looked at her. "Demon aura blocks healing magic." He whispered "I'll be OK don't worry." His head fell backwards slowly; he exhaled and opened his eyes. "Ahh one more thing." He said in a weak voice
"What is it?" asked Dick standing over him
"You can only kill trolls with fire and acid." He said right before his head slumped into Zatanna's arms
"Now he tells us?" said Roy taking an exploding arrow out and turning around.
There were several dozen fully regenerated trolls coming their way.
But that's not what they were staring at.
Agni's hood had fallen off.
April 9. 12:00 pm Mount Justice
Agni's bedroom
Agni opened his eyes and looked around he felt completely better. He saw his bow; quiver, sword, hidden dagger, throwing daggers and Bag of Holding were on a table across the room. He slowly sat up and looked around Zatanna was dozing in a chair slumped against the wall and Wally was laying on the floor tossing a small ball up in the air and catching it.
"Wally?" he asked
"Oh thank G-d your alive!" Wally shouted leaping up and giving Agni a bear hug and startling Zatanna awake
"Okay, okay I'm fine get off ger'off ." he said plying Wally off him and turning to face Zatanna
She stood up with tears in her eyes and ran up to him and hugged him fiercely. "Don't ever do that again or I swear I'll kill you for real!" she said
She hasn't slept since we brought you back." Said Wally explaining her outburst slowly
"What do you mean since you brought me back? How long was I out for?"
"Almost 2 days." Said Zatanna letting him go
Dick, Conner, Kaldur. Artemis, Roy, M'gann, Batman, Superman, and Green Arrow walked into the room. Everyone aside from Bruce ran up to him and hugged him, shook his hand and thumped his shoulder over and over again, except for Roy who stood in the corner purposely not looking at Agni.
"If you guys are done I would like to find out what happened. Said Batman surly
Everyone backed off and grinned at each other.
"What happened to you Agni? You were in a comma for almost 2 days then you suddenly come out perfectly fine?" asked Superman
Agni fiddled with his hood for a minute. "No one took off my hood?" he said eyeballing everybody "and it's an elven regeneration ability I regenerate my health pretty quickly, I sometimes go into a comma but usually it's only for a few hours I must have been really banged up."
"No, I made sure no one did." Said M'gann truthfully
"What happened out there?" said Batman
Agni sighed and slumped on to the bed. "That guy out there with the weird arm and odd armor, he's an evil chaotic Warlock and his name is Abaddon, he's one of the few humans that live in my dimension. It seems he turned himself into a half demon, giving him incredible powers including strength as strong as Conner's..." Agni's voice trailed off "Oh, and he wants to take over this world." he added
"That is bad." Said Wally
"No shit Kid Idiot! This is very bad!" said Artemis.
"Is there anything else you may want to mention?" asked Batman
Agni nodded slowly "Yes there is something I must tell the team. But later I must reflect on what I must say. Can you guys meet me in the training room in half an hour?"
"Yes we can." Said Robin
"Good." said Agni walking over to his bag
Batman turned with a swish from his cloak and walked out. Clark patted Agni on the back, smile at him and followed Batman out the door. Wally waved at him and left the room humming random parts of a song unknown to Agni. Artemis looked at him with a small smile and followed Wally yelling at him to stop singing.
Oliver walked up to him and said, "Hey could you tell me what I look like in your dimension?"
"Ollie!" shouted Roy
Agni glanced up at him. "Not now Lord Oliver maybe later"
Oliver nodded and exited the room. Conner glared at Roy for some unknown reason, Roy just walked out without even glancing at Agni or anyone else for a matter of fact. M'gann gave him a small kiss on the cheek
"I hope you okay." She said full of genuine concern
"I'll be fine." Agni said with his face in his palms (again)
"Do you want us to stay with us?" asked Dick walking up to him with Zatanna next to him.
"If you want but I won't be very talkative."
Dick nodded and sat in the chair casually toying with a batarangs. Agni walked over to his bag and shifted through it for sometime.
"Damn the damned abyss." he moaned
"What's wrong?" asked Zatanna
"I'm out of healing potions." He said
"I don't think I can get you any of those." Said Dick
Agni searched his bag some more and took out his portable hole from a pocket and laid it on the ground.
"Is that the portable whole?" asked Dick
"Yes it is." Said Zatanna
"Be right back." Said Agni jumping into it.
Dick stared at the hole curiously for several minute listening to the sound coming from inside. Agni climbed back out a few minutes later holding several gray flasks.
"I found some extras." Agni said opening one and taking a large gulp and sitting on the table. He started to feel a refreshing feeling coursing through his veins making him feel much better altogether. He tossed one at Dick and one at Zatanna
"Here drink it you worked hard today." He said putting the other flasks in his bag.
"It was two days ago Agni..." Zatanna said
"Oh right..."
Dick suddenly put his hand up to his ear and listened for a few seconds
"They need me in the training room. I got to go, I'll see you there I guess." Dick rushed out the door closing it behind him.
Zatanna looked at Agni thoughtfully for several minutes watching him just sit and think. After nearly 10 minutes she cleared her throat.
"Uh Agni?"
Agni turned his head to look at her.
"I uh just wanted to thank you for… you know saving me out there when those goblins almost got me."
Agni turned around to fully face her. "Your welcome Zatanna, I am glad you didn't get hurt."
Zatanna slowly stood up and walked over to him looking at all the weapons on the table. "You certainly carry a lot of weapons on you." she said
"There are only half of them." Agni said
"You have more?"
Agni reached down into his boot and pulled out another dagger, and laid it on the table. He whispered a few words and he was suddenly holding another sword in his hand. "I said I was good at conjuration." He said simply "I am never unarmed"
Agni slowly started to pull back his hood. "I'm about to tell everyone something I never tell anyone." He said. "And I want you to be the first to know." He pulled back his hood revealing his face
"Why would you hide yourself?" she said coming closer to him.
"Because most people cannot accept me for who I am, most judge me by the color of my skin."
They both looked into each others eyes for a few seconds Agni slowly moved in towards her
And her kissed her on the lips
A few minutes later
"I know some of you are wonder what Abaddon said about me earlier." Agni said. He was standing in the middle of the training room with his hood back on standing in front of the whole team. "He said 'Keep your heritage hidden well Agni or you may find yourself without friends once more, your ranger friends are not here to protect you' I am going to tell you what he meant by that.
Agni lifted is hands to is hood and began to pull it back but hesitated
You can do it came a telepathically message from M'gann
Agni pulled his hood back and taking his cloak and gloves off
His white hair was in tight corn-braids going down his head reaching his chest with the hair on the side of his head shaved off. His eyes were a dark color of red. His arms were strong and muscular. He had a pointed chin and a well shaped face.
His skin was a dark purple.
"I. my friends, am a Dark Elf" he said.
