Zatanna walked into the training room and listen to the shouting match
"It wasn't a request Agni. You are going and you have no say in the matter." Batman was saying in a loud voice
"I am not going to spend my days here city in an academy learning crap I already know." Agni shouted
"You may be stuck here forever; you need to learn how to fit in here."
"I've already spent 20 years in such a place! What are they going to be able to teach me?"
"The history of the country we are in, this technology stuff that I find fascinating, and probably lots of other crap." Richie put in from behind him
Agni spun around and faced Richie. "Why doesn't he have to go to school too?" he demanded
"I am." Richie said simply
Agni spun back around to Batman "And you want to go to school with him? I'll kill him before the first day is over!"
Batman smiled slyly "That is why I am separating all of you."
Agni looked at him confused "What do you mean?" Agni asked slowly
"Arty and Connie will be joining Miss Martian and Superboy here at Happy Harbor. Richie will be gong to school with Robin and Wallace will go with Wally to Central city. You and Zatanna will be attending a school in New York City for the time being."
"What about Arty and Connie? You know they aren't human…" Agni asked taken back in surprise at how everything was perfectly arranged.
"We got special amulets for them that will change their appearances." Richie said
"From where?" Agni said beginning to feel slightly desperate "I know I didn't have any in my Bag of holding." He crossed his arms and said "And I am not going to enchant any."
"I enchanted them." Zatanna said walking up to them
Agni groaned "Oh gods, not you too…" He collapsed into a chair and sighed "A very good conspiracy you put together against me here… I see I really don't have much of a choice to go, you hold most of the cards, Batman."
"I hold all of the cards and I can see yours very clearly." Batman said
"You overlooked one thing." Agni said suddenly breaking into a smile
"Pray tell what that one thing is, Agni."
"There are several ways to be late to school or get thrown out of it…" Agni said deviously, counting off all the things that could suddenly 'happen' "Fires, explosions, people suddenly turning into frogs, the students being hung off the roof by his hair."
"Ooo I remember when we did that to Wallace." Richie suddenly piped in.
"Did what to me" Wallace said enter with Wally (they seemed to go everywhere together)
"We were reminiscing the time we hung you off the roof by your hair because you called me… well it doesn't matter what you called me." Richie said
"I need that time to practice!" Agni said returning to the original argument
"Look at you…" Superman said breaking his silence "You can barely fight at all."
"Yes I can!" Agni reply angrily
"Agni I have seen you fight… The way you were attacking me before and the way you have been fighting in general is not the way you usually do." Superman said gently
"That's not true!" Agni yelled
Richie stood up and walked over to him. "Duel me." He said easily
Agni nodded and tossed him one of his swords from his belt
Richie caught it and swung it up and down deftly
Agni pulled a third one from his bag on his waist and took his stance
"Common I'm going to prove that there is nothing wrong with me."
Agni charged ahead with his swords ready to dive in for a quick attack
Richie feinted blocking and ducked under the blow and slid a few feet on his knees and spun around to stab at Agni's back. The dark elf grinned ferociously and whipped his swords around to parry it.
The momentum of Richie's lunge threw Agni off balance, he flew at him with a flurry of swings and blows, which Agni even with his dual swords had trouble keeping up with them.
A quick set of blows sent Agni's swords frying out of his hands onto the floor and Richie held his swords under Agni's chin.
Agni gulped and slowly moved it away "Okay maybe I am a little bit over worked…"
"So you agree?" Zatanna asked
Agni opened his mouth to say something but it was cut short by his entire right arm suddenly bursting into flames.
"AAHHHH" Agni screamed shaking his arm around wildly
Richie collapsed on the floor rolling with laughing and was joined by Connie who was doing the same
Batman's hands shot out flinging 2 little pellets at Agni, hitting his arms and covering them with some kind of foam.
Agni sighed in relief as they went out but his relief was short live because they burst into flames again and burned through the foam.
"Some one put it out!" Zatanna shouted hating herself for not having her wand on her.
"Hothothothothothot, its really hot guys!" Agni shouted flailing his arm around.
Superman held him still, took a deep breath and blew across his arm.
The fire danced around but didn't go out.
Agni stopped and looked at it curiously
"You know it actually doesn't hurt…" he said slowly
"Then why were you screaming?" Batman demanded
"It was just a reaction to seeing my arm suddenly burst into flames." Agni said shame-facedly
"Dat may be a small probl'm." Connie said still chuckling
Agni lifted his arm and stared at it in deep concentration and the flames slowly went out.
"What did you just do?" Batman asked
"I have no idea… weird things have been happening since my ruby broke. It's like I lost all control over them."
"No matter you will still be going to school." Batman said
Several bright spinning balls swished through the air at Robin who skillfully dodged them and threw some of his own back.
"You're getting good at this!" Agni said catching them and whipping them back
Robin's hand shot out deflecting one and he caught the other and it sent him through the stone post behind him into the pool of water beneath them.
Agni chuckled and hopped through the pegs and helped him back onto one. "Catching them is usually a pretty bad idea." He said
Robin rubbed his chest and rolled snorted "Now you tell me?"
"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger; unless it paralyses you or… takes off a limb… or smashes your face in… now that I think of it, there are a lot of things that don't kill you or make you stronger…" Agni said jumping off the pegs over the water onto the dry ground. "We will have to practice some more later because my magic still hasn't restored itself fully and it is tiring me out."
Robin nodded and went off the go dry off
Agni walked into a small forest that was next to the Spiritball Arena they built and took a small sapling and white powder out of his bag. He placed the sapling on the ground, sprinkled the dust on it and murmured a few words.
The sapling began growing quickly in till it became a fully grown tree in minutes.
"How'd you do that?" M'gann asked suddenly appearing behind him.
"A ranger/druid spell." Agni dropping his equipment to the ground.
"What is it?"
Agni wrapped his hand in some kind of white bandages and began punching the tree "A Iron Wood tree." He said spinning his foot and kicking it "I use it for training."
M'gann watched him beat the hell out of the tree but the tree didn't show any marks of being hit.
"What other spells can rangers and druids use" she asked
Agni backed away from the tree for a minutes and shook the pain out of his hand "Mostly summoning different animals and other nature stuff like what I did to the sapling." He said and return to punching the tree
"Why do you use a tree instead of a punching bag?"
Agni winced in pain and kicked it several times with his left foot "Because this hurts more and no pain no gain. It also trains my body to be able to endure more pain making me stronger."
"And you do all of this so you can be able to kill Abaddon?" M'gann asked
"Yep." Agni replied shortly to conserve his breath Agni's right hand drew back for a right hook "Iivdril used to be a much better fighter than me, but I trained much harder just to prove hard work is better than just being talented."
Agni's hand flew at the tree and right before it hit it burst into flames and chopped it right in half.
M'gann and Agni stared it the tree in surprise
"That has never happened before…" Agni said staring at the broken trunk that had smoke wafting off of it. "These new power are beginning to frighten me a bit, mostly because I can't control them at all."
M'gann looked at him thoughtfully "Can I ask you something, Agni?"
Agni unwrapped his hands and smiled "M'gann, you know you can ask me anything?"
"Well, when I saw your memories the first time I remember you were dating Iivdril but in the second memories you were dating Anna."
Agni nodded and flexed his hands "The memories with Iivdril were years afterwards, after I had tempered with Anna memories."
M'gann nodded "That would explain a lot." She said
Agni muttered a few words and waved his hands over the broken stump.
The broken part of the trunk stood back up and repaired itself returning to its unbroken state.
"Being a ranger has its good things." Agni said reaching into his bag and removing a large rifle
"Wat are ye gonna do with dat?" asked Connie
"I'm going to learn how to use it." Agni said looking down the barrel "I can' have Abaddon getting an advantage over me."
Connie's eyes widened with excitement and he turned and ran shouting the whole way "the dark elf is gonna try to use one of dem metal thingies!"
Agni sighed and held it like Robin had told him to.
In seconds everyone was there staring at him.
Agni held up the gun and aimed at a target he had placed on his tree. "Like this?" he asked Robin
"Yeah now just pull the trigger."
Agni lowered it and looked at the gun "This is the trigger right?" he asked giving it an experimental pull
The gun went hitting Richie in the chest.
Richie went flying backwards and hit a tree and slumped to the ground groaning.
"Ugh…" he said standing up slowly "That really hurt…"
Agni dashed ahead of everyone and helped him up.
"Wow these cloaks are really good if the can stop a bullet at point blank." Wally said
Agni went back in front of the target and took aim again
Everyone back a few paces away
Agni pulled the trigger and the rifle jerked and he shot bullets all the way up the tree. He dropped the rifle and went to inspect it
"Well I hit the target…" he said, he turned back around to see everyone on the ground with their hands over their heads
"Oi, I'm not that bad!"
It was early morning in the Cave.
Everyone who was in the cave was either asleep or plugged in (Red Tornado).
Conner's eye open and he listen carefully; he could hear something coming from down the hall. It wasn't the wind which he could hear blowing softly.
He slowly crept out of bed and slipped a shirt on. He left his room and followed the noise to the training hall.
Agni was there, his eyes were closed and he was standing in the center of the room with his hands out in front of him and his middle and index fingers were pointing up and his thumbs were pointing out. He arms slowly began swaying back and forth, and his feet began to move slowly in different patterns. His arms began swinging around in a very tai-chi looking way, his hands were suddenly on fire leaving streaks and trails of fire after him. He dropped onto his hands and kicked the air and bean spinning around in a very hard looking martial arts routine.
After a few minutes after Agni had jumped into the air to do a kick he landed and opened his eyes.
"Why are you up so early?" Conner asked walking over towards him.
Agni took a sip of water from a flask that was on his belt and answered "I got to go to school all day I decided that I would do some practicing in the morning."
"What were you doing?"
"Tai-chi. It helps me control myself and be less angry besides it is a very useful type of martial arts."
Conner hesitated and asked "Would you mind teaching me?"
Agni looked at him surprised "You want to learn? That is not like you…"
Conner puffed out his chest and shrugged his shoulders "It is just that M'gann wants me to control my anger more."
"Sure if that is what makes you happy, I'll teach you."
Conner nodded his thanks "'Cas you know I don't really need it."
Agni rolled his eyes "Sure."
"I could easily take down anybody without any help."
"If you say so…"
"You know I'm not an idiot."
"Never said you were. Now follow my movements and do what I do." Agni said and began the routine again
And that is where everyone found them in the morning.
Remember to review… or Agni might accidentally shoot you…
