Chapter Forty-One: Flaming Feathers

"God Zeus, I pray to thee," Juliet cast.

Her lightning spell hit another agent, blasting him a good hundred feet. Miss.Martian telepathically knocked out another and then sent him into two others with her telekinesis. Beast Boy, still a t-rex, was scaring agents silly and had them running for the hills. 

Princess Dorathea's knights had a pretty good handle on any agents that avoided the blaze. Miss.Martian and Beast Boy both made mental notes to never mess with angry ghosts from how the knights fought. Sure, Phantom was a ghost, but he was only half-ghost. So the rules concerning him were a whole other thing.

Mason changed back to normal as Juliet sent one other agent flying with a wind spell. Superboy and Huntress stared in awe as Alya had a t-rex spirit around her.

"I did not know she could do that," Conner said.

"Alya's always full of surprises," Valerie giggled.

Alya's spirit roared at the agents. It was almost like it created a burst of wind with the sound as the agents were forced back, as if by a strong breeze.

"Dang," Valerie swore, impressed. "Oh, how I am loving that girl right now."

The GIW agents took one look at her, then ran for the hills.

"GET BACK HERE, YOU COWARDS," Alya screamed, going after them and the spirit making fee-fi-fo-fum booms on the ground. "I'LL GIVE YOU A REAL REASON TO RUN TO YOUR MOTHERS."

"She is also quite scary, my friend," Conner said.

"I've known her for longer, remember," Valerie reminded. "Myself, Phantom, and Siren all know of her... let's call them rage moments and leave it at that."

"Maybe she's been channeling mother bears a little too much," Conner commented.

"Okay, that's enough time with Phantom for you," Valerie stated.

Krinos had just knocked out three more agents, having used a few trees to punch them on their heads. He was getting really frustrated at this point. He had no idea how many more agents there were. They seemed never-ending. Part of him was thinking robots or clones and that was why there were so many. But he did magic, not science, so how would he know.

"Alright Krinos," he thought to himself. "If these guys are gonna keep coming, then give them something that will make them regret it."

He sensed more of the army approaching. And soon, there were even more guns pointed at him.

"Time for the D4," Krinos smirked.

As the anti-magic blasts started heading his way, he flipped out of the way. The trees and plants soon made him almost invisible to the naked eye. He blended in so well that you could be looking right at him and still not see the lord of nature.

"Nature is my home turf," his voice echoed around the area, from tree to tree. "You don't really think you can beat the lord of nature in his own home, do you?"

"You're no lord," one agent yelled. "You're nothing."

"You're just a piece of scum," another agreed.

"Well, this piece of 'scum' is about to show you just how strong 'flower power' can really be," Krinos said.

His glowing green eyes could be seen in the trees. But the swirling of leaves and flower petals made it impossible for the agents to get a good aim at him.

"Nature's enchantment," Krinos cast. "Dandelion quartet."

The leaves and petals all seemed to become streams, like airborne curvy lanes of a highway. Roots and vines also grew. They all collected into four areas. And right before their eyes, four botanical animals were created. They were all lions. Their bodies were made from wood with sharp claws on their front and rear paws. On top of each leg, and at the tip of their tails, were sharp ended yellow wood swirls. They also had lines of bright and dark green leaves running down their backs. Their names were all made from giant blood-red petals, like a blood rose that's just bloomed.
