Injustice 3: The Might of Magic (Book 3)

Ares:

Hitting the wizard, Felix Faust, in the back of the head, he screams and stumbles forward. Holding his head as he stumbles, Felix Faust quickly turns around and faces me.

"You," he yells. He shoots out his hands, encasing them in blue fire. "I still owe you for all those years of pain and suffering!"

"I regret nothing," I shout. I wave my hand around right and left, and a sword appears in a red mist. "You were nothing more than a pretender! Seeking powers you could never understand!"

"Oh I understand," Felix Faust says. "I understand you were nothing more than a power-hungry tyrant who should have stayed buried in Hades!"

Pulling back his hands, Felix Faust shoots them forward. He shoots the blue fire at me. Seeing this, I quickly hold up my sword to block the flames but somehow, it doesn't work. I scream as my hands burn and I am forced to drop my weapon.

"I have new power," Felix Faust says, approaching me. "Courtesy of the Lords of Order! Begins of true, endless power!"

The fire around Felix's hands disappears as he raises them. Magical energy gathers between his hands, forming a large, electrifying orb. When he is ready, Felix throws the orb at me.

John Constantine:

"Ouch," I say, shutting my eyes. Despite shutting my eyes, I can still hear Ares screaming. He screams and is thrown from the rooftop onto the streets below. Still watching as Felix follows Ares onto the street, the two then enter a magical fight.

Snapping my fingers, I summon a small fire to light my cigarette. Taking in a deep breath, I turn and see the bitch herself, with her small squadron, flying toward The Man.

Blowing out some smoke, I wave at the bitch. She sees me and lands in front, her small squadron landing with her.

"John Constantine," Raven says, clenching her fists. "You dare help The Man?"

I don't answer right away. Instead, I take in another deep breath before blowing some smoke.

"Uhh, yeah," I say, nodding. "The man in the sunglasses. I'll admit, he's a bit of a weirdo, but I prefer him over you. And that goes for your Lords of Order buddies too. Tell those fuckers I send them this."

I show Raven my middle finger.

"Oh, you're going to get it now," Klarion the Witch Boy shouts. Pulling back his hands, Klarion shoots them out. Black and red lightning bolts flying toward me, I smile when the bolts vanish, turning into harmless gusts of wind.

"What the--," Klarion says.

"My turn," I say, still smiling. Holding out my hand, I flick my cigarette toward Klarion. As my cigarette flies toward Klarion, it turns into a fireball that hits and knocks him down. While everyone else turns to Klarion, Raven still staring at me.

"You don't have to hide," Raven shouts, "I can see you."

As Raven shouts this, bright lights appear in mid-air. They sprinkle and shine before transforming into white smoke. The white smoke lets out a puff before disappearing, and there, standing in the disappearing white smoke, is Zatanna.

Zatanna:

"So much for that trick," John Constantine says, walking up to my side.

"I knew it wouldn't work for long," I say, tipping my head so my top hat can slide down my head, along my arm, and into my hand. Adjusting my black and white magician robe, I straighten my red bowtie before pulling out my black and white magical wand.

"Raven is mine," I say, "Can you handle Klarion and the others?"

"I do what I can," John answers, raising his hands and putting up fists. "But I would ask that you hurry. Klarion, Morgan, and Mordru are stronger than usual."

"Thanks," I say with a nod. Running forth, John begins chanting spells. With fireballs appearing in his hands, John throws them at the three, forcing them back. Meanwhile, I'm left alone with Raven.

"You should've stayed down," Raven says, spreading out her hands as they glow with a combination of her father's demonic magic and the Lords of Order magic. "The last time you tried to go against the Lords, they almost killed you."

"Yeah, but he, along with Iris and surprisingly, Scarecrow, helped get me back on my feet," I reply with a smile. "And this time, I planned on staying on my feet!"

The first to make a move, I tap and twirl my wand against my hat. Magical energy gathering together turns into a ball that flies toward Raven. However, Raven raises her hands and summons a shield.

My attack hits the shield and dispenses, leaving Raven completely unharmed.

"Pathetic," Raven says. Spreading out her hands again, only wider this time, Raven disappears into the ground.

"What the heck!"

I watch as Raven shrinks into a large black shadow. The shadow jumps from one end of the rooftop to the other. It appears beneath me before lunging out and grabbing me.

Harleen:

Screaming as I raise the bat over my head, I hit the demon in his 'sensitive spot' over and over. Each time I do, he screams and yells out loud, which makes me feel a little better for some weird reason.

Going in for another swing, a blast from the side knocks me to the ground. I fall to the ground and my bat slides away from me.

"Son of a--" I shout, looking behind me. A demonic minion with smoking hands is running toward me. Looking at my bat, I crawl and jump for it. However, before I can grab it, the demonic minion grabs my legs and pulls me back.

"You will not--"

Before the red bastard can finish, The Man jumps and rolls onto the ground. He takes my bat while in mid-roll and uses it to hit the demonic minion. The minion cries out as The Man hits him and sends him back to Hell.

I watch as The Man, using both my baseball bat and one of his swords, slices and hits countless demons and skeletons in minutes. No matter what they did or how many there were, The Man quickly destroyed them.

Hitting a skeleton with my bat, The Man knocks the skeleton into a demon before spinning around and stabbing both of them in the heads. Kicking a skeleton in the leg, he knocks out its bone, forcing the skeleton onto the ground. Now using my bat as a golf club, The Man winds up his arm before swinging my bat.

"Fore," he yells. I watch as the flying skeleton's head hits another skeleton in the head.

"Hey," I shout, walking up to The Man.

"What," he asks.

"Can I please have my baseball bat back?"

"Technically, it's mine but sure. Thanks for the loan."

Throwing me my baseball bat, I see something coming from behind some buildings and even more something coming from rooftops building.

"Hey, what's going on up there?"

The Man turns and looks at where I'm pointing.

"Dark magic," The Man answers after sniffing the air like a dog. "Black Mask and Raven. They're the source of these two armies. Are the families out yet?"

I take a quick look around.

"All of the families have entered the tunnel, but they're not outside yet."

"Tell the others to keep fighting," The Man says, running off.

"Sunglasses, where are you going!"

"To break some skulls," The Man answers, leaving the fight and disappearing through an alleyway.

"Break some skulls," I repeat. "What? The skeletons here aren't enough!"

Black Mask:

"Be born," I yell, raising my hands high. "Be born, my endless army!"

As I yell, more and more black skeletons pull themselves up from the ground. They claw and dig at the dirt before pulling themselves out. When they are out, they charge toward the Hub City's tunnel.

"Boss," my hacker yells.

"What," I shout. "Do not interrupt me!"

I order a few of my new skeleton soldiers to advance toward him.

"Wait, wait, wait," my hacker says, stepping back. "No boss. Look. Look!"

I look at where my hacker is and see someone fighting his way through my skeleton soldiers. Slicing their bones, he stops in front of me.

"Black Mask," this man with sunglasses yells. "Stop this. Now!"

Running toward me, the man lunges at me with dual swords. However, I catch them with my bare hands.
