Where'd All the Adults Go?

"I can," Kid Marvel says.

That's when the communications between the team and the adults begin to coordinate an attack.

"This is by far the weirdest thing that I've ever witnessed, and I'm a superpowered ghost," Spook admits, watching the boy teleport between worlds.

They load up the bioship and head on their way to Roanoke Island. Arriving at the island, they discover Klarion the Witch Boy is the center of all this trouble. Robin and Artemis drop down a little ways behind Klarion. Robin throws his birdarangs and Artemis shoots a few arrows. Klarion senses them coming and puts up a shield to block them.

"That's the best you can do?" Klarion taunts, aiming a red lightning bolt to the two. KF, Aqualad, and Superboy all run towards the magic circle, only to be bounced back by the force field Klarion summons around it. Zatanna tries to destroy it with a spell, but it only does nothing to the force field. Klarion scoffs. "Baby magic."

He recites a spell that ends up blasting Zatanna backwards just to be caught by Superboy. Miss Martian summons big boulders and throws them against the force field, causing Klarion to basically use flamethrower at her like he's some kind of Pokémon. She yelps and moves out of the way before being hit.

"The cat," Spook whispers.

Phantom and Spook aim their repulsors at the cat, only to have Klarion cover it with a force field.

Klarion laughs. "Show 'em what a familiar to a Lord of Chaos can do, Teekl." After that Teekl begins to grow and grow and grow, turning into a giant cat five times the size of Wolf. Superboy goes to attack him, only to be smacked away. Sparks begin to form from the gem in the middle of the magic circle. "So, you teamed up with the grown-ups? Teamwork is so overrated."

The lightning coming from the gem is redirected at the team, hitting and knocking out Robin and Artemis.

Zatanna rushes up to them. "Artemis! Robin!"

The lightning consumes Aqualad as he can't take anymore. KF is blasted to the side. The twins phase through every bolt while continuously blasting at the shield with a combination of ice, fire, and ectoblasts. They eventually switch to just ectoblasts, seeing how it's slowly deteriorating the force field.

'We need to get the gem in the middle!' Spook shouts through the mind link. 'I think that's what is causing all this!'

"It's the jewel!" Billy shouts, appearing out of nowhere.

'Don't shout, Billy,' Miss Martian says. 'I've linked you telepathically to the others.'

'That is so cool! I mean it's the gem! At the center of the pentagram! Destroy it and we win!' Billy says.

"Zatanna!" Aqualad shouts, noticing the girl pick up Fate's helmet.

"Stop!" KF shouts.

Zatanna places the helmet on her head before anyone can do anything. She's enveloped in white light, reappearing in Fate's costume and flying up above with Fate's symbol glowing behind her. "Klarion! This ends now!" Fate's voice appears through Zatanna's.

'Billy, tell Zatara!' Spook says.

"Right, yeah. Shazam!" he disappears in a lightning bolt.

"I have an idea, cover me," Spook says, disappearing into the ground.

Aqualad, Megan, Phantom, and Nabu attack the force field. Nabu begins to fade to Zatanna then returns back to Nabu.

"Ha! There, see? When the world's divided, the helmet split too," Klarion bellows. "You're not all here, Nabu! And you are losing hold of that poor, soon-to-be-dead girl! She gave herself for nothing."
