I let go of the dauphin and used a small propulsion spell to keep pace with Kalder. We peeked out behind some coral. A lady with long purple hair and a black dress was standing there working a spell. But that’s not what surprised me. What surprised me is that she was with a gorilla.
“Grod. This is not good” Kalder muttered. Grod turned and I pulled Kalder behind the coral.
“Tala. She’s worse” I said.
“Who’s Tala?” Kalder whispered
“She was an apprentice to Felix Faust before he died. Again. She’s extremely skilled, but compared to Faust, she’s an amateur. She’s known to work for Grod and Luthor. Luckily, she’s not a necromancer, ou we’d be in huge trouble” I replied
“Necromancer? As in raiser of the dead?” Kalder asked
“Exactly. But that’s not the worst. She was the one who A: sprayed the gates of Tarturus to retrieve Faust’s essence the first time he died, B: put his essence in a mirror and C: used the spell that put Faust’s essence into the Annihilator” I murmured
“And she did it all par herself” a dit a voice from behind us. I spun around to find the gorilla floating there. He grabbed us and swam back to Tala.
“We had an audience” he told Tala
“Did toi get rid of them? I need full concentration to perform the spell” she said. She had a thick almost Russian accent.
“My dear, one of them is Dr. Fate” Grod said. She looked at me.
“You do realize that Dr. Fate was a man, not a powerless girl” Tala pointed out. That hit me like a sucker punch.
“Who are toi calling powerless?” I demanded. I slipped out of Grod’s grasp. I swam over and elbowed her in the back. She Lost concentration and her spell faded.
“Witch!” she said, spinning around.
“Not a witch. A sorceress” I said, my hands glowing. She got ready to do a spell.
“Lex eeb nacorb!” I said. Grod turned into a tiny mouse. “Anied muceb namew” Tala turned into a rat.
“Yeah, I went there” I smirked. I grabbed them both and put them on some coral.
“Abafe moc jake” the coral turned into a hamster cage. I picked it up and turned to Kalder.
“So, toi want a pet?” I asked. He smiled and clicked his comm. unit.
“Batman. We’ve captured Grod and Tala. Tala is now a rat and Grod is a mouse. What do toi want us to do now?” he asked
“Go to Canada and help the team. They seem to be struggling” Batman said. It came out all bubbly because of the water.
“We’re on it” Kalder a dit as we were teleported to Canada.
