Disclaimer: I do not own Young Justice, I only own the Rangers and the plot
So who liked that huge previous chapter, eh?
Remember to Review, because I love to read them!
-STH-
Lex Luthor sat back in his comfortable offices chair. He was in a good mood that day, his plans were going along perfectly with Abaddon. In a few minutes the Young Justice team will be out of the way along with the Rangers. Oh yes is was a happy day.
Lex smiled to himself and closed his eyes as he awaited Abaddon's arrival. Any moment now Abaddon would walk into the door and tell him that there were closer to their goal' dimensional domination.
"Enjoying a little nap?" Came a gruff voice in front of him.
Lex's eyes flew open but what he saw was not what he was expecting.
Abaddon was there, yes that was true, but he wasn't in the usually form he saw him in. Abaddon looked just a bit more than a ghost; he was red and almost completely see-through, Abaddon's image kept flickering and fading in and out. A mere shell of what he usually looks like.
"Abaddon?" Lex asked
Abaddon's ghost image nodded "Who else?" it said irritably
"What happened? I thought you were going to force them to join you or kill them!" Lex shouted
Abaddon glared at Lex, silencing him. "I had a small... problem."
"And what was that?" Lex sneered
"Agni refuses to die or bow before me." Abaddon said angrily "I stabbed him in the chest twice..."
"And? That didn't kill him?"
Abaddon shook his head again "Our little spy decided to turn on us... and then he went all fire dragon on me, took me completely by surprise and manage to kill me."
Lex arched an eyebrow "So this is the immortality you were speaking of?"
Abaddon nodded "I will only be in this form for a few more days, then I can return to my full power."
Lex cursed under his breath and stared at his desk "That puts a big speed bump in our plans."
Abaddon shrugged "Since I'll be... busy for the next few days, I'm going to need you to deal with them."
Lex looked up from the floor outraged "That was not part of our agreement!" he protested "You said all I would have to do is fund you!"
"You will do as you are told" Abaddon said, his aura was suddenly filling the room. The lights grew dim, the sun seemed to stop shining, and Abaddon's face grew fearsome. "You will do as I command, Lex of the Luthor legacy."
Lex nodded slowly and gave s little stiff bow "As you wish Lord Abaddon. But there will be something I require from you."
Abaddon arched his eyebrow "So speak it."
"I need information."
"Information?"
"Information." Lex confirmed "I know all that is to know about the Young Justice, but when it comes to the Rangers I am sorely uninformed."
Abaddon nodded and a large scroll popped into existence in front of Lex.
Lex picked it up and looked at it. "You couldn't have given it to me on paper?" he asked looking up but Abaddon was no longer there.
Lex sighed and looked at the scroll. It read;

Being an Arcane Archer he is always armed with a long bow and quiver. When alone and not dependent on a comrade he will engage in melee hesitantly. His phase-arrows are particularly worrisome for no known materiel is able to stop them. Being a Arcane Archer it is best not to engage him from afar, you have a better chance of surviving in hand-to-hand combat

Anna is able to use Infravision and Darkvision. She is quite strong for a mage but not overly so. Has high endurance and decent acrobatic strength.
Fighting Style:
Anna's fighting style is based on Clerical magic. She is able to inflict wounds from her magic. She is able to harm and paralyze a person's body with almost no effort at all. She very rarely will use a mace or hammer with a shield in close combat. Her spells vary and are hard to dodge or deflect. Best way of defeating her are to separate her from her comrades who will be covering her and take her down with sheer numbers.
Weapon of choice:
Anna mainly uses wands to help direct her magic and make it more powerful. At times when she is using incredibly hard spells she will use a staff which she has great skill in using for melee.
Like most other clerics she uses mace's and hammers with shields in battle and sieges, but unless she is prepared she usually only has her wand which is more than powerful enough to slay full armies alone.
Element:
Can use all of them easily but her natural element is ice
Connie/Brown-Ranger
Magic Abilities:
None. Magic and Connie do not go together very well. There are always side-effects and mistakes.
Racial and Physical Abilities:
Connie is not able to use and different types of vision like the elves of the team, but he has no trouble navigating in the dark. It is rumored he is able to listen to the stones themselves to direct himself.
He has very tough skin and is not penetrable by arrows or bullets. His strength is matched only by few.

Aside from that he uses several different types of hammers, battle and great axes, spiked gauntlets and boots. He also has a tendency to head-butt anything bigger than him.
Element:
Earth.
Wallace/Yellow-Ranger

Wallace relies on his speed and strength more than on magic. It is rare for him to use any spells other than the basic Ranger spells and strength buffs.

Wallace specializes in daggers, knives and short swords. He is known to use a long sword if needed and is a very good shot with large weapons like catapults and and siege crossbows.
Element:
Light
Megg'n/Purple-Ranger
Magic Abilities:
Megg'n is not very powerful when it comes to magic. Most of attacks come from her racial abilities, but being a bard she can still use most basic magics and bardic spells. She is able to use Aasmir magic but she rarely does.
Racial and Physical Abilities:
Megg'n is a Aasmir Gnome, she has several abilities like; shape-shifting, telekinesis and telepathy. Her true form is unknown, but her most used form is a short, green skinned, red haired humanoid. She has super strength for a gnome because of her Aasmir heritage. Megg'n is able to fly as well as being able to detect auras (that are VERY hard to hide) from distances farther that Agni is able to.
Fighting Style:
Megg'n's fighting style is very different from most other bards and gnomes. She uses her telekinesis to large her enemies into the air or objects at her enemies. Her mind blasts are very powerful as well and are able to disable all around her. Its very hard to ever hit her with melee and ranger attacks.
Weapon of choice:
Megg'n uses no weapons in any occasions. She relies completely on her mind and abilities.
Element:
Wind
Kal/Blue-Ranger
Magic Abilities:
Kal is a very proficient in all types of magic except Necromancy which is forbidden in Atlantis and the Academy. He, like all water elves, excels in Water Magic of every kind. He can manipulate water to any form he wants with no verbal spells. It is unknown to me whether this is a racial ability or magic for me and him were never very close.
Racial and Physical Abilities:
Kal is able to use Infravision and Darkvision along with another vision, also unknown to me, that allows him to see under and through liquids. This might just be his natural eyes. He is very agile for most elves and his strength excels most of his comrades. His skin is almost completely invincible and hard to pierce.
Fighting Style:
Kal has a very unique style compared to most others. His water-bearers can take the form of any weapon, shield and are able to guide large quantities of water with no effort. Kal is able to send electrical currents through his hands and down his water streams electrocuting and/or stunner who ever it hits. He is much more of an offense person more than defense person be nature but is usually the one protecting the Rangers spellcasters and archers.
Weapon of choice:
Kal uses his water-bearers exclusively. He has never been seen without them on his back or belt. The more water near him=more dangerous. Even when he is far from water he carries a large amount with him or uses a spell to create it.
Element:
Water and Lighting
Agni-Belirhacyrd/Head and Black-Ranger
Magic Abilities:
Agni abilities are much of a secret outside of the Bat-clan. He failed his academy magic tests repeatedly before Wizard Fate stopped caring and let him pass. Although Agni is defiantly able to use high level Conjuration as well as Evocation. The one thing he seems to be able very well is Enchantment. He is one of my worlds best Arcane Archers after Lord Oliver and few others so it is quite obvious that he is a master of the Arcane.
Agni is known to have his own separate branch of magic that unknown and very secretive. All I know about will be written below.
It is almost completely silent and he rarely has to actually say spells out loud unless it is a powerful one.
He activates many of his spells with a wave of his hand, so if he is seen doing so I suggest three things ducking, running or surrendering.
Agni, even though he will rarely admit it, has dragon blood in him so it is possible he uses an ancient form of dragon magic that has been lost to our world.
Agni has used many forbidden Necromancy techniques that have been hushed up every time. He has tendencies to use his has used dark magic of his heritage that is scorned and forbidden in most of our world.
Racial and Physical Abilities:
Agni is able to use Infravision and Darkvision. It should be noted that because his eyes are already red when he enters these vision they turn a shade of purple.
Agni is able to summon globes of darkness that cut of all light making anyone in the globe completely blind. He is able to summon farie fire as well. Farie fire is a simple spell that creates fire that just casts a glow.
Agni is able to summon a very powerful type of fire when he is in deep concentration or feeling any particular strong emotion (usually anger or hate). He either uses it in a more powerful version of Fire-Hands (which is a beginner Evocation spell) or he can create a shroud around himself that usually take the form of a large dragon, this is again like another spell that is taught in the Academy (Fire shroud. It creates a ball or ring of fire around the caster and can be used for an attack or defense)
Fighting Style:
As far as I know Agni's style is very drow like. He prefers melee weapons in both of his hands when in close combat and is an excellent shot with a crossbow. Above all Agni is one of the best bowmen I have ever known to exists. He entered the Arcane Archer Order at the youngest age that is written down in history. He can use a mixture of martial arts as well (he most likely learned that from Richie and General Bruce). Aside from the Academy, Agni learned swordsmanship from Kal and Master Bruce so he very formidable with a blade as well.
He does not use magic in fights aside from his Arcane Archery much (I have actually almost never seen him use it) but he uses magic to carry and unknown amount of weapons on him. Agni's style might change suddenly mid battle or even mid swing so you must look out for that.
Weapon of Choice:
Agni worships the longbow above any other weapon. Being an actual ranger (not as in the team name but and actual trained ranger) he always has a sword on him, usually katannas or scimitars or khopeshes. Agni has special bracers made for him by Master Bruce and upgraded by Batman, they are complex weapons that I have never been able to examine or Agni loves them as much as his bows. I know they have at least two hidden blades shaped like daggers that come out the bottom (like palm blades), punch blades that come out above his knuckles, two dart shooters, a grappling hook and it seems Batman upgraded it so can now also electrocute at command, and may have more that I do not know of.
Agni can use almost any weapon and you should expect him to have just about any and every weapon he can get his hands on with him at almost all times.
Element:
Agni has two elements his dark elven which is dark and he seems to have fire as well now.
Lex looked up from the parchment and sighed, they weren't as bad as Superman. He would take care of them with ease. Lex put the parchment down and reclined in his chair.
He smiled as he though of how he was going to turn on Abaddon as soon as the Rangers and 'heroes' were out of the way. Even the Joker agreed that Abaddon didn't deserve to rule their world they had enough people acting like gods already.
About 6 hour later in Mount. Justice's medical room
"So your telling me she was a double agent ever since she was captured and that's how Abbasomethingoranother knew all of your moves and you knew all of his plans?" Green Arrow asked
Agni winced and lifted his arms as Anna wrap bandages around his chest. "Pretty much..." he said
"And you didn't bother letting anyone know?" Batman
Agni nodded "If anyone knew they would be more wary of Arty and what they said around her and there would be less for her to tell Abaddon and Abaddon would know that we knew and kill her... so yes I didn't bother telling anyone but Robin."
Everyone turned and looked at the sheepish Robin
"He didn't actually tell me... he just happened to mentioned that he had to go talk to Arty and made it clear I should follow. So I hid in the shadows using a spell Richie taught me and from there I found out."
"Then we went to go have some milkshakes." Agni added
"So you guys were ambushed by a very rare type of illusion magic," Black Canary said "and somehow Zatanna and Agni were able to knock it out of everybody, find your way to Abaddon... kill him, and break it?"
Anna nodded "It broke when we killed him because he was the caster."
"And then you reappeared back in the club with Robin still singing and everything perfectly normal?" Superman asked
Agni shook his head "No. Then we reappeared in the club, with me bleeding to death from several stab wounds, them trying to knock Arty out, Abaddon a smoking heap on the floor, everyone that was in the club screaming and running around, the few drow that were not killed were getting up and running for it... did I miss anything?"
"Robin finished the song he was singing before he decided to come down and help us carry you to the bio-ship." Roy (lord only knows which one) said
"Such a lovely song it was..." Anna said staring at the now blushing Robin
Everyone fell silent for a moment in till Agni broke it
"Uh hello, Anna! I'm still bleeding here, I think you can stare into Robin's eyes later." he said
Everyone laughed as Anna and Robin's color turned a tomato red
Agni swore as Anna put some kind of stinging poultice on his side. She was obviously paying him back for the embarrassment.
"Is there anything else you should be telling us that you might have left out for any reason?" Superman asked gently
Agni nodded "Of course there is." he said
"And your not going to tell us?"
"Nope."
Batman snorted "Thought so."
Agni got off the bed and sighed
"So uh... Agni..." Oliver began
"Yeah?"
"What are you going to do now that guy is dead and you found all your friends?"
Agni shrugged and rubbed his chest "Continue learning all I can from Master Batman, Master Superman and from you I assume... maybe finish school in this dimension, teach everyone how to play spirit-ball and wait for the Justice guild or Master Batman to figure out how to get us home."
Everyone nodded and went silent again.
"Agni?" Oliver broke the silence again
"Yes, Lord Oliver?" Agni said
"Wanna tell me how awesome of a teacher I am to Roy?"
Both Roys swatted Oliver on the arms and stormed out of the room.
Agni chuckled and smiled "I doubt either of them want to hear it."
Everyone chatted for a few minutes while Anna patched up the Rangers and the Team from their battle.
"What if we can't return?" Richie asked
Agni glared at him
"What? Everyone else was thinking it!"
"We WILL return." Agni said forcefully "Don't even bother thinking we won't."
"There is a possibility it won't be for a long while." Batman said "Cross-dimensional travel is not an easy feat to accomplish..."
Agni shrugged "They already sent us a messages. It will be no time at all."
"Still... we should prepare ourselves for the possibility that we'll never leave." Richie said
Agni shook his head and folded his arms stubbornly "I do like this place but we do NOT belong here."
Time sped by for the Rangers. As far as they knew Abaddon was gone and Iivdril was hiding, that was enough for them. They spent their time teaching the Team Magic, helping them on missions and just enjoying a break they almost never had. They received few messages From the Justice Guild,most of them just updates... nothing major. They were content, not knowing that Abaddon was sitting quietly, bidding his time and preparing to strike.
Agni walked up to the computer in the training room and pressed and few buttons.
Music began blaring and a ton of robots appeared.
Agni's pulled out two tomahawks and leaped at them.
Conner came into the room and sat down next to Zatanna and Robin who were watching him demolish the robots. "Is that Hans Zimmer's music playing?" he asked
Robin nodded
"Why is he listening to that?"
"I made the mistake of showing him Pirates of the Caribbean and Lord Of the Rings..." Robin said
"Now he thinks all fights need 'awesome background music'..." Zatanna said
"So he plays different music now whenever he trains?" Conner asked
"Worse," Robin said "He played it while beating up a bunch of robbers yesterday."
"What I wrong with that guy?" Conner asked
Robin sighed and continued watching Agni. "That we will never know..."
This was more of a informational chapter than a chapter that was really important to the story.
