"Maybe the helmeted one is the blood mage we all have been looking for..."
Elle glanced at them from her helmet before looking back in front at Klarion and his cat, Teekl. Klarion's grin widened as he looked at the helmeted female, placing his focus on her as blood surrounded her. She walked to the shield that Caleb put up, biting onto her thumb harshly before drawing upon the shield with her blood while Teekl continued to attack the shield. She soon mumbled something under her breath, both hands on the symbol she drew quickly as it glowed. It emitted a bright flash of red light, blasting Teekl away from the shield as it shrunk back into a cat.
She soon looked at Klarion, who was fading in and out, causing him to panic. As he teleported to his cat, glaring at Elle.
"How dare you attack such a defenseless cat!" Klarion exclaimed as Elle looked at him, not saying a word for fear that Klarion and other people would find out her identity, the attacks Klarion shot towards them hit the shield. She looked at Caleb, that seemed to be struggling lightly before she sighed lightly. A heavier amount of blood poured out of her arm and onto the grass under her. Mghaan yelped in shock at what she saw, Elle looking up at the Martian before sighing and focusing again, the blood-forming into the shape of a symbol.
The inner-circle consists of runes before. The innermost circle marked a triangle in the center; three circles consisting of triangles sat upon the edges of the triangle in the center. The symbol's outer circle turns into a dragon, swallowing its tail.
Elle knew she had to be quick with this; as she slammed her hand upon the ground, the red symbolic circle glowed before Elle stood up, hand raised into the air as she exclaimed, "Red! Come out!"
As she exclaimed this, a colossal scaly yet watery body of red liquid shot up from the circle, its shadow covering most of the area as Elle looked at Klarion. Its body seemed like a liquid tornado until it slowed down as it circled in the sky, its head pointed down at Klarion, the ferocious look on its face glared down at him and his cat. He yelped as he saw this. This was no random creature.
It was a Blood Dragon.
"A Blood Dragon?" Superboy muttered in shock as she looked up at the creature. The others, including Caleb, were in shock as well. Elle had never used her magic. So how did she reach this level?
The watery yet scaley body of the blood dragon was floating in the air, no wings attached to help it stay at its level, legs curled into its body to prevent it from obstructing its body. Elle looked at Red as she placed down her hand, allowing Red out of her control to attack the Witch Boy. Red grinned in his dragon form before shooting towards Klarion, jaws open as something glowed inside its mouth.
"Ack!" Klarion exclaimed as he teleported to where his cat was to avoid the fiery blast of Red, who glared at him as he was about to shoot at him again. But before he could do so, Klarion teleported away, nowhere to be seen. Elle let out a shaky sigh before extending her hand out, controlling Red to return to her once again. Caleb let down the shield as Red shot back into the circle, mouth open as if he was swallowing Elle before disappearing into the circle. The blood soon dried up, and Elle knew it would be pointless to use it anymore. That was the disadvantage of summoning. She had to sacrifice an immense amount of blood for this.
Her steps staggered back as Caleb immediately wrapped an arm around her back, grip upon her arm to prevent her from falling.
"Alright, we are going home," Caleb said, his voice consisting of worry, and was about to manipulate his blood to create a board until they were suddenly encased in a green circle. "What the- HEY!"
Soon, members of the Justice League came, surrounding them. Caleb knew that there was no way they were getting out of this. But... He was preparing blood to attack and leave. Elle looked at them silently and then at Caleb for a bit, pinching him lightly. He looked at her, a look of panic clearly in his eyes but she shook her head, stating they should not fight back in a fight that they are not going to win.
"You two. Are going to come with us..." Batman said in a monotonous voice. The two Green Lanterns soon used their rings to strengthen the ball around them. "And you Young Justice members. Head back. We will return later."
And soon enough, the Justice League members left with the two trapped in the green energy ball, some staying back to help the civilians living around the area and two sending the Young Justice members back to the Mount.
