Observing the new intruder, Ra's Al Ghul remarked, "So, you're Raiden. I must admit, your stealth technique is incredible. You've genuinely piqued my interest. I could use an individual like you in the League of Shadows."
"Rai! What are you doing here?" Aqualad yelled in surprise.
Raiden let out a derisive snort and replied, "The League of Shadows? I see... Quite audacious, indeed. Tell me, Ra's Al Ghul, who inspired you to establish the League of Shadows?"
"Inspiration? What prompts such a question? Are you contemplating accepting my offer, perhaps?" Ra's responded.
"I see. Your arrogance has gone too far. Tell me, do you know of the Order of Assassins?" Raiden inquired again.
"So that's why you inquired about my inspiration. You believe I was influenced by the Order of Assassins? Amateurs who prioritize faith above all else? My League is far superior. It's an affront to suggest that I drew inspiration from such a subpar and unprofessional religious cult" Ra's retorted, clearly offended by Raiden's insinuations.
"Truly arrogant, then allow me to reveal the true might of the Hashasheen," Raiden declared.
Ra's Al Ghul responded, "You? I'll concede that you are an excellent user of stealth techniques, but you seem to underestimate the danger you're in. You are surrounded by over forty of my elite, outnumbered and outmatched. What do you hope to achieve, young one? Surrender peacefully, and I'll spare your friends over there. They were willing to fight to the death for you. Why not spare them such a fate and end this peacefully?" Ra's Al Ghul's patience was wearing thin with Raiden's theatrics, and he was ready to conclude this, whether by force or consent.
"Mr. Ra's Al Ghul, it seems that you are genuinely uninteresting. You've made numerous mistakes today. Perhaps you are not as great as your reputation suggests. You've insulted my Order, made baseless assumptions about my skills, and if you wish to discuss numbers, allow me to introduce you to the might of the Hashasheen," Raiden stated confidently.
Raiden Raised his hand in the air, clearly showing off as he said
"This is the power of Hundred Faced Hassan
Now...!
We as a group is an individual, and the individual, a group. The group's innumerable shadows possesses a hundred faces.
Zabaniya: Delusional Illusion! "
Much to the astonishment of everyone present, whether they belonged to the team or the League of Shadows, a sudden emergence of Assassins, numbering one, two, three, and eventually four, five, twenty, and even forty, overwhelmed the scene. They all donned identical white masks and had matching complexions, but it was vital to understand that these were not clones. Each possessed unique abilities, skills, and advantages. Without warning, they appeared behind every member of the League of Shadows, with the most formidable positioned directly behind Ra's Al Ghul.
The Assassin Army caught the League of Shadows completely off guard, and the onslaught commenced as each Assassin targeted a member of the League. Instead of a one-sided battle of 40 versus 7, it now became 86 against 40.
A massive Assassin delivered a powerful blow to Ra's Al Ghul from behind, and two more assailants swiftly emerged from the left and right. To Ra's credit, he managed to deflect three of the attacks, but it was a futile effort. Two others closed in, with one delivering a crushing punch to his rib-cage, shattering it, and the other aiming a slicing attack at his chest. Although he narrowly evaded the latter because the other attac propelled him backwards to the right, it cost him the use of his arm, which, while not completely severed, was rendered useless.
Exploiting the openings created by Raiden, the entire team sprang into action. Connor immediately targeted Ojo, Ojo was already being distracted by two other Assassin's as such, an opening opened, and it allowed Connor to land a punch that shattered the his helmet to pieces.
Wally, took advantage of the momentarily distracted Black Spider, who was fending off four Assassins Assassins, and delivered a series of super-fast, powerful punches. some from the left, some from the right, some from the back, his speed, and the distraction that was given to him by the assassins, allowed him to swiftly end the battle, when done He quipped, "That's what you get for making me look bad in front of my girl!"
Aided by Megan and three Assassins, Artemis lunged toward Talia, who attempted to escape by tossing a smoke grenade on the ground. one of the Assassins retorted, "Foolishness! You think you can hide in the dark? In smoke? We see it all; we are the darkness!" A purple-haired Assassin delivered a powerful kick to Talia's face, sending her flying into a wall. As she attempted to evade another attack, three arrows pinned her to the wall from her shirt. She quickly discarded her shirt to escape the second assault, but then Megan used her telekinesis to immobilize her completly, as the purple haired Assassin jumped to kick her to the face.
in the end, while not knocked out, She was immobilized, in the sky with Megan's telekinesis
"Father! Help!" To her shock, her father was locked in combat with five Assassins, while Aqualad and Rocket provided support and protection. no matter what he would do, landing an attack on one, the others strike, forcing him back, and with one of his hands useless, Ra's was trying to come up with an escape route
"Father! Take down the leader; that might be our way to victory!" Hearing his daughter's plea, Ra's al Ghul momentarily abandoned his own defense and focused all his strength on the leader. he knew that the moment he attacked, Rocket would defend him, so instead, he fainted an Attack on an assassisn, then risking injury, turnued to Aqualad, and threw few hidden blades, distracting rocket to protect him, with this he found the opening to attack the original assassin, Despite further injury to his already weakened body, he delivered the decisive blow, stabbing the main Assassin in the chest.
"Your arrogance led to your downfall, child," Ra's gloated as he delivered the fatal blow. The Assassin's eyes widened as his body disintegrated into nothingness.
"One down... Seventy-nine to go." Ra's eyes widened as he realized the gravity of those words, but before he could express his shock he was stabbed in the back and another colossal assassin, punched him in the face, a punch so powerful it almost knocked him out, the giant was twice his size, so it wasn't all shocking that the punch sent him hurtling to the farthest reaches of the room.
"Father! But how?"
In perfect unison, all the Assassins spoke simultaneously, "While we may appear different, behave differently, and sound distinct, do not be mistaken. We are one, unified as Raiden Kagawa, as Hassan I. Sabbah. We exist as a collective, and the collective is an entity in itself. one of us goes down, another arises"
just as he said that, Another Assassin emerged from the shadows, that was the true power of the Noble phantasm [Zabaniya: Delusional Illusion] the Assassin, Named Hunderd Faces Hassan, was a man with multiple personality disorder, he used that to create real illusions of himself, each with their own individual powers and personalities, he could only summon eighty at one time, but they were a hundred, as for The Hassan himself, even he doesn't know which personality is the original
With all the other members of the League of Shadows incapacitated, Ra's gazed in shock as his elite assassins were defeated by a young individual in less than two to three minutes. His entire League of Shadows was now outnumbered and outclassed. He had been outwitted in his own domain.
Before he could convey his frustration and astonishment, a yellowish portal materialized behind him, and a hand reached out, pulling him away and sparing him from the further humiliation of being apprehended by children.
The same fate did not befall his allies and daughter, for they were not granted such leniency.
Ojo's head was brutally smashed in, and without his helmet, he was rendered defenseless.
Black Spider stood no chance against Wally's lightning-fast speed and the relentless assault of the Assassin Army.
Talia was completely immobilized by Megan's telekinetic powers, her body bearing numerous injuries from Artemis and others.
And the remaining members had all been defeated.
One of the Assassins punched a wall in frustration and remarked, "Tsk! Damn it, the others are worthless. I wanted to capture him. He was my only lead to Ivo."
Aqualad glanced at the numerous Assassins and said, "Raiden... I thought I instructed you not to come. You ignored my orders."
Hearing Aqualad, Raiden's attention refocused, and he responded, "Oh, yeah, uh, look, I was worried, okay? I couldn't help it. You said Megan and Connor were in danger, and I had to do something."
Sighing, Aqualad admitted, "I'll concede that you did indeed help us significantly. I don't think we would have emerged unscathed without you. So, thank you."
Raiden quipped, "Great, right? So, uh... what should we do with all these people, then?" interrupting Aqualad.
"Raiden, you ignored my orders. It's important to exercise judgment and question me, but when you came here, you should have coordinated with us. You also cut off communication. From now on, even if you decide to go rogue, it's crucial to inform us of your next move, at least that way I won't have to worry about the enemy capturing you" Aqualad explained in a stern voice. Kaldur wasn't angry that Raiden had ignored his orders, but he was concerned about Raiden as he was the target of today's attack. The responsibilities of a leader were a heavy burden on Kadlur, and he couldn't bear the thought of losing a team member.
Lowering his head, Raiden scratched his head and replied, "Yeah, I understand, Kaldur. I'll be more careful from now on."
"Cut him some slack; he saved our butts today. You did great, Raiden," said Rocket as she patted Raiden in the back.
"Yeah, that was super cool! There were like fifty of you out there fighting with us. The League of Shadows couldn't even figure out what happened to them! but let's be honest here, I played a major role too" Wally added.
It began with Wally and Rocket, but soon everyone expressed their gratitude and amazement at Raiden's powers.
"Thank you, everyone," Raiden responded.
"You did well, Raiden. Now, let's contact the League. We have many people to question and arrest," Aqualad said.
"Alright, cool. I can maintain this transformation for an extra Ten minutes or so."
After waiting for a few minutes, members of the Justice League arrived to investigate.
"So, they were after you? Do they know about your true powers?" Batman inquired.
"No, I don't think so. The battle against Amazo was my first-ever transformation," Raiden replied.
"Our assumption was correct; the Light is after you now. This means you need to become stronger," Batman explained.
"Yeah, that I do because.... (soon enough, I'll be the one going after them."
