Many days later after encounter with Mephisto and Faust and had deal with Mordred, during after the mission, the founder of Justice League and Himeya had meeting and discuss about this name Dark Zagi. Himeya told everything he remember from Faust, from people who was called Visitor from Nebula M80 to Lethe, and what are the purpose of the space beast. And Dark Zagi's goal and the reason why he attack human. So far the Justice League found out this Dark Zagi was terrifying, and despite this, not everything they know much about him.
The tittle, "The God Of Destruction", Superman himself can see what type of person this Dark Zagi was, he could be more worse than Darkseid. As soon as they got the information about these, they quickly alert this to other member. And now they become more alert about any space beast appearance, and so do Mephisto and Faust. One night, Batman and Wonder were had mission some area of the city, there was belief to had intergang robbery on a Natural History Museum.
They were stood on top of building, watching, waiting. "Patience Princess, the intergang move in mysterious ways" Batman said, "Tell me about it, what use they could possibly have for the Rosetta stone?" Wonder Woman ask, "We'll find out soon enough, and in the meantime" Batman said, "I know patience" Wonder Woman said as she at one of the dragon statue as the edge building and rest her hand on it's head. She look down and so many happy couple, were spent their night together.
For some reason she really wish she could had a relationship and spent a night time together. "Don't you ever wish you were down there?" Wonder Woman ask, "I'm down there all i need to be" Batman answer, but that's not the answer what Wonder Woman want. "Yes, but it's just a job to you, i'm talking about going down there and having some fun maybe, maybe with someone special" Wonder Woman said as she slide her hair. She look at Batman and got no answer. "No?, no dating for the Batman, it might cut into your brooding time" Wonder Woman said. Batman look at her.
For some reason, his mind went back to when he first time met with Mephisto, and then the past about when he saw what Joker had done to Jason, which he blame himself. And then during Mordred incidents where Mephisto dare to threatening his friends and hurt her. He saw her face, who was in fear, he didn't know if he could face off something like that again, Mephisto was different.
He was worse than Joker, he was the devil, and he corrupt people's mind with all his words and manipulated them to do all his biding, "What's the matter?" Wonder Woman ask as Batman keep staring at her. "Nothing, just...nothing" he said.
Wonder Woman know why, it was about Mephisto, she can see he was try to break his mind and mental. And to think about Tim Drake, Superman had told her a little, and then she knew what to that poor kid, after Bat Girl told her what just happen, she was furious when Joker turn the innocent child into a monster like him, luckily the bastard got shot by his own creation, talk about ironic. Maybe she should let him cold his mind first, and beside the situation before maybe still bother him.
They then heard an alarm bell ringing from the backdoor of museum, "There!" Batman pointed as he spot someone try to break in. He then bring out his batarang and shot towards to building and swing down, "Save by the bell" Wonder Woman said while smiling. The person who try to break in appear to be a woman, she wear a black suit cover her entire body, only the exposed was eyes and mouth. A batarang then shot towards to alarm box, disable it. She quickly turn around and spot Batman and Wonder Woman in front of her.

"Just a common thief, what happen to intergang?" Wonder Woman ask, "J'onn must have gotten a bad tip it happens, I'll take the crowbar" Batman said, "Whatever you say" the woman said, her crowbar suddenly turn to snake and almost hit batman, but luckily he avoid it. The snake crawl away from them. "That trick always went over big in Egypt" she said, as sparkle can been see in her hands like a magic spell. She rise both of her arms.
And reveal to be Circe, the witch that been banished from amazon, long ago. "Circe!, becareful she's-", "Yeah i've read the Odyssey" Batman cut Wonder Woman's word as he already know who is Circe is, he throw a batarang to her, only for her to change it into a pigeon using her magic. "That it for you?" Circe ask, "What are you doing here you witch? you were banished" Wonder Woman ask. "They needed more space down below so they paroled me, of course i had to promise to leave your Mommy dearest alone before they let me out" Circe said.
"Mother sent her to the pits of Tatarus, Circe had nasty habit of turning innocent people to animals" Wonder Woman said. "I'm really good at it too" she said with evil smile on her face, "So i've read, let's not give her another chance" Batman said as he and Wonder Woman run towards her, only for her to use her magic and push them away to the wall. Batman was knock out, but Wonder Woman was still standing. She run towards her only for a very large rock hand, emerge from the building wall and grab Wonder Woman.
The hand increase it's grip to prevent Wonder Woman from escaping, Wonder Woman struggle to break free, but the more she do, the more tight the grip was. Circe walk towards her, "I promise to leave your mother alone, little princess, but nobody said anything about you....rest assured, after i get done with you, Hippolyta won't want you for a daughter your pointy eared boyfriend here, won't want you for anything" Circe said.
Wonder Woman stare at her, Circe then rise his hand towards to Wonder Woman and a magic energy start to show, Batman who just wake up from his conscious look at Wonder Woman and he was surprise in his face.
A man's head can be see in the box, without a body?!, and how in the world he still alive, oh wait unless this was one of Zatanna's magic performance, yes the great Zatanna, one of the legendary magician, she can cast many spell, but it was unknown how many. There are three same type of box but different size. Started from head, the middle was leg and the last one was the body.
"My poor assistant he's fallen onto pieces, let's see if i can help him pull himself together" Zatanna said as she close the box's doors. and start to arrange it from leg to head. She then use some of her magic trick, as it's done, she open the box where the head was, but it shown a feet, my gosh was it fail. Zatanna then open the box door, and gosh, turns out it was upside down, the feet was at the top and head was at lower, but still he was in perfect condition, what a twist.
The assistance walk out from the box using his hand and then lower his feet to the ground and stood up in perfect condition. He then give bow and everyone give an applause to him, and to Zatanna for such a wonderful performance, she never disappointed them. "Thank you, you're been a wonderful audience, and for my final illusion, i like to pull a rabbit out of my hat" Zatanna said, causing audience to wonder, wasn't that was like to basic.

But Zatanna had her way, "Trust me, it isn't as easy as everybody thinks, come on bugs where are you?" she said as she fishing inside her magic hat. As she put her hand deeper, suddenly a giant hand approach above from the audience, they were shock and surprise as it suddenly appear. The giant hand then grab one of the audience, turns out it was 60 year old man. Zatanna then pull her hand out from the hat, and surprise the same man that been grab was in her hand. But just become smaller.
"Well you're not as furry but you're just as cute" she said as she place the man down to the floor, and start casting magic spell, and the man grow back to his original size. The audience give applause to her performance, once again Zatanna had give them a great magic show, they even throw a flower, before the curtain close, meaning the show was over. Shortly after taking a shower and had a change, she went to her room.
Where she place all her stuff for performance, and also for her mission. She even investigate about the space beast, so far many people were went missing by sudden. The government and the authorities from different country had set a safety parameter, in case space beast to destroy the space beast and of course they also do the same to Ultraman, after they appearance of Mephisto and Faust. she never met them and wish never had.
After she heard about Dark Zagi, and some story of his origin, she can only shiver how powerful he was, and to think magic and spell are useless against any of them. She didn't want to think about that for a while, but she will prepare. She sit on her table and had a drink a cup of coffee and re watch her performance on the magic sphere. There is some part that need to be improve, "Hmm, little slow on the switch, had to watch that" she said before been interrupt by Batman shadow.
"What was it? some kind a hologram? or it was a real thing?" he ask, "It's called sorcery Bruce, usually i play straight, but for the big closer i throw in a little..... dazzle" she said with whisper on that word, "But enough about my secrets, what have you been up to, i haven't see you in so long" she said. "Can we discuss that later, someone in trouble" Batman said seriously. "Who? what kind of trouble?" Zatanna ask.
"Well...." it was very hard for Batman to explain, so he show it to her, he brought Zatanna to his batmobile and open the door and reveal to be a pig. "Eww, Circe huh?, it was all over the mystic ethernet that she made parole, i'll see what can do" Zatanna said, they brought the pig who was actually Wonder Woman been transform after Circe turn her into animal inside Zatanna's room and she use her spell to broke the curse.
But nothing happen, she try again, but the result a remain same. "Well i'll give my best shots" Zatanna said. "I guess my power on a distant, second to those a goddess, we could call in one of the other league magicians, Dr. Fate maybe" she suggested, "No....i mean, let's keep this between us" Batman said. "But why? if there's a chance to help Diana shouldn't we tell everyone in the..." she pause for a second before she finally got it. "Oh, wait, wait, you and her, are you two-" she guess before Batman interrupt.
"No, we're just good friends" Batman said. "No, you and i are good friends, there's something more between you and Diana" she said, "Well maybe there was" Batman said as both he and her watch towards Wonder Woman who was now a pig. "Don't worry Bruce, i'll find a way out, of this for her you" Zatanna said as she place her hand on Bruce shoulder.
"But i'm beginning to think that only Circe can turn our chubby friend here back into Wonder Woman, that only lord knows where she s right now" Zatanna said as she watch through magic sphere.
Six man can be seen are kneeling and the music are start to operating, one by one the lights on and Circe can be see on top stage, she was wearing a red dress for her performance. [Gotta get your old tuxedo pressed, gotta sew a button on your vest, cause tonight you've got to look your best Lulu's back in town....Gotta get up for bought somewhere, gotta shining shoes and silk your hair, Gotta get this guy a flower, Lulu's back in town. You could a tell a male mate not to call, you not to call until the fold and you may not get back home at Lulu's back in town] Circe finish her singing performance and many flower were throw on the stage and all six man before circle around her, with knee down and giving her a praise.
The sign on the door wrote Curio's, inside Zatanna and Batman were met up with someone who maybe could break the spell of Circe. "Come on Syd, are you going to sell me the chimera scale or not?" Zatanna ask the man named Syd. "You know the rules, the element of magic always come at a price and i don't take cash or a plastic" Syd said. "So what do you want?" she ask. "Hey is that thing housebroken" he point to the pig who was fishing her head inside the box. "I'll take care of her" Batman said.
"Now about that final ingredient i need for my locator spell" Zatanna said, "It's all yours for one silver good luck friend, Mid Qing dynasty if you please" Syd said for the price, "What that is robbery!!" Zatanna said disagree and raise her voice. "What's robbery, i'm giving it to you with cost" Syd make it clear "It's a total rip, i could conjure up for nothing" Zatanna said. "Try it Chimera scale has all but impossible to get, by magic or not, minus dimension only supplier" Syd said. "Okay you win" she finally agree and cast a spell to pay the cost of the Chimera skin.
A purse was appear on her hand, a she fishing inside it and bring out a coin from dynasty Qing and give it to Syd, "Thank you" Syd said. Batman tied the pig's neck with rope to prevent her from escaping, he wipe her head to calm her down. "We'll be done here soon" Batman said. All three of them gathered at the rounded table, with candle at the middle of it. They all place the stuff that been used for the ritual. Zatanna light up the candle.
She then start to cast a spell, and Batman just watch it all along, since magic was not his special, the blue aura soon emerge and surround them. The pig however saw it and it scare her, she bite the rope to escape. "Circe show yourself" Zatanna said, soon a blast of blue fire came out from the table surface and end up with smoke, it didn't even give the location of Circe at all, just disappear like that. Zatanna use her hat to swing the smoke away from her.
"Well that was a lot of nothing!" she said feeling like she just got scam, "Circe pretty powerful, if she doesn't want to be found, there's not much anyone can do" Syd said. "Then what was the point of all this, give me my coin back" she demand her coin back after it fail. "Sorry kid, no refunds" Syd said and smile. "You slimy little-" before she could finish, Batman notice the pig was gone as the rope was cut off. "Zatanna, she's gone" Batman said and they both run out from the shop.
Syd hold the Qing's dynasty coin, but Zatanna pause and turn back, "It's not for you" she said, as the coin suddenly vanish from his hand. "Hey!" Syd shout as the coin was taken from him. As the coin was on Zatanna's hand, Batman quickly pull her out from the shop. They search for the pig every corner of the city, but no good. The city itself was large, she could be anywhere. They finally stop at the park after failed to search for her, "Well that's it, from mud hole to style, we look everywhere" Zatanna said as she sit on the bench under the tree, Batman stood beside her.
"Obviously, we haven't because we haven't found her yet" Batman said, serious. "Don't get snippy with me, how many other girl will go this far out of their way for a cold insensitive-" before she could finish, Himeya suddenly appear. "I hope i didn't take long enough for you to wait" Himeya said. "Uh, hello, where did you come from? Zatanna ask. "As soon as Batman call me, i quickly came, just about finish to fix the camera, by the way, my name is Himeya Jun, but you can call me Himeya" he said as he stretch his hand to handshake with Zatanna.
"Zatanna, nice to met you" Zatanna introduce herself. "You seems familiar" she said, "Well, i only spot you, never get a chance to know you at the watch tower" Himeya said. "So bat, about your problem, i can literally saw it my vision, and i saw what happen, and i even saw where this woman go" Himeya said. "Wait, what? you do?!" she ask in surprise. "Yeah, she was somewhere at some kind of club singing and the pig, well we keep this between us" Himeya said.
Zatanna then narrow his eye onto Batman, "Is he a sorcerer?" she ask, as how can a man like him capable to find Circe. "We'll talk about these later, so where is Circe?" Batman ask, "Well i'm not sure how to said the place name, but Amphitheater, on Mykvo, nono, Myko, my.....ah i get it Mykonos, apparently she was still on her performance, and the pig, maybe i need a back up to catch her, so should i call Bwana beast on these?" Himeya ask. "Do whatever to find her, and keep this between us" Batman remind. "Okay" Himeya nod.
The pig was somewhere was eating a piece of garbage, but somehow a garbage truck had come to pick up a garbage and scare her away as she run as fast as she can. At somewhere, Himeya had contact the Justice League, member like elongated man, Bwana beast, Tornado and some other who had a free time. At the same time he use his vision to scent where the pig was going. He saw her running on the street. She quickly find somewhere to transform. A bright shining light suddenly appear, and something fly up to sky, faster than bullet.
Ultraman nexus in human size had fly to search for Wonder Woman. Bwana beast was patrolling the street, and suddenly he spot a pig running, "Yo, what the pig", he said as he start chasing it, at the above of the sky. Ultraman was flying and spot them, there was a truck in front of the pig, but she manage to avoid it, Bwana beast quickly hover on the truck front engine and quickly chase the pig. Nexus fly lower until he saw the pig.
The pig notice his presence, and quickly run away, there was a fence in front of her, but there was a small hole for the pig to past, but before she could enter. Ultraman use a saving bute to catch the pig. Just like the next, Nexus also had saving Bute, he manage to lasso the pig and it struggle to break free. Bwana beast stop and Ultraman hover lower, and stood beside Beast. The pig was still tied up by the Brute.
Bwana beast quickly contact Batman, "Bats, this beast, we got your girl" he said, "Good job, keep eye on her, we had some meeting with Circe" he said, he then contact other member, they had found her, they can aboard the mission and return to watch tower, he then shut off the communicator, "Well that was quick" she said. The pig was struggle to escape from Ultraman's grip.
"It's okay, we're not going to hurt you" Nexus said. "He's right, and to think about it, i didn't remember you look like that, got some upgrade?" Beast ask as Ultraman was now look different from he use to know. "No time for that, let's bring her to watch tower, that will keep her safe" Ultraman said. "That will be a good idea, Beast to Manhunter, demand for teleport to watch tower" Beast said, and soon their both disappear and been send to watch tower.
Ultraman and Bwana beast with the pig had arrived to watch tower, so far they got it right, pink, chubby and had a bracelet that similar to Wonder Woman use to wear, yup they got it right. And now they just had to keep her contain, the pig however struggle to break free from Ultraman's grip. "It's okay we're not going to hurt you" Nexus said as he wipe her head.
