"Oh? Hello, dear child! Raiden! MY RAIDEN! I missed you, my dear! Oh, not a single day went by without me remembering our good times together! Of course, I hope you missed me too, dear child!" spoke Ivo as he mocked the enraged Raiden.
Rage filled Raiden as he jumped towards Ivo's location; his body was enhanced through magic. Since the cooldown for his power had just started, his only means of fighting was his normal body skills and the magic he learned from his brief time with Medea.
"NO RAIDEN, IT'S A TRAP!" screamed Robin.
Midway, Raiden felt pain in his chest as a robot kicked him in the skies, sending him flying back to his original spot.
Raiden looked to see Amazo in front of him. Raiden looked at it and then said, "Ατλας," using the spell to freeze the robot in place as he attacked Ivo.
"Access Martian Manhunter," Amazo sank deep into the ground as he emerged from another location, pinning Raiden to the ground after grabbing him midway and smashing him face-first onto the ground.
"Αερο Κεραινο," "Fire Ball," "Fire BLAST," "Lightning Bolt," "MAGIC ENHANCEMENT!" shouted Raiden as he used every spell he could think of to get rid of Amazo's pin. But the robot didn't care, allowing most of the attacks to pass through him or ignoring them altogether because they didn't affect him.
Ivo walked towards Raiden, putting his leg on top of Raiden's head, and spoke, "You're a bit excited to meet me, eh? OH, MY DEAR CHILD! YOU THINK IT WAS ONLY YOU THAT WANTS REVENGE! YOU IMBECILE! YOU ABSOLUTE TRASH!" smashing Raiden's face with his leg with every word.
"LEAVE HIM ALONE!" screamed Raven as her magic attacked Ivo, but it was defended by Amazo. Robin threw multiple smoke bombs on the ground as Artemis released explosive arrows. While Rocket protected Raiden with her bubble, "Ekam nediar elbisivni" screamed Zatanna as she tried to make Raiden invisible, hiding him from Amazo and Ivo.
Amazo grabbed Ivo and jumped away, dodging the explosions before turning to the team. "Access Superman," Amazo looked at Zatanna, and in super speed, he flew towards her, punching her away. Rocket's bubble barrier protected her, so she managed to survive but passed out immediately. Amazo looked at Rocket and released a massive laser blast towards her. She used her shield, but it didn't last much as it exploded. The laser hit her right in the chest, almost killing her if not for Raven creating a magic shield around her at the last minute.
"Access Atom," Amazo raised his hand, blasting Raven with an energy blast, blowing both her and Rocket away.
"Access Martian Manhunter," said Atom as multiple arrows passed through him. Awaiting that moment, Robin attacked, throwing his now-extended staff towards Ivo as he transformed back. It worked before, so why not now?
But to his shock, the staff stopped midway, as another entity grabbed it. Robin's face darkened, as did Artemis'.
Doomsday has awakened again, using his hand, he crushed the staff and screamed, "AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"AHAHAH WELCOME BACK, MY DEAR. NOW, GRAB EVERYONE, BUT DON'T KILL THEM," said Ivo. Doomsday darted towards the remaining two, knocking them out and collecting everyone, including Connor.
Raiden got up and tried to fight again, but now, up against both Amazo and Doomsday, his chances were naught.
Amazo placed his knees on Raiden's back, grabbed his head, and forced it up, making him look at Ivo.
Ivo walked towards Raiden and spoke, "My position in the light was jeopardized BECAUSE OF YOU. I had to make a new AMAZO. But it wasn't all bad. HAHAHAHA, look at it," pointed Ivo towards Doomsday.
"YOU SEE THIS… This is a product of your work! After five years of studying your immortality and trying to control it, I hadn't realized, but I was able to control other creatures! YOU WERE an EXCEPTION, but it's okay."
"Although it came at the cost of lowering its power significantly, I now control both these monsters. The LIGHT won't be able to ignore me anymore," added Ivo.
He then turned to Doomsday, who was carrying Raven, about to place her with the others as ordered. "NO, NOT that one. Bring her here; that one is special too him."
"NO, YOU BASTARD, LEAVE HER ALONE. I WILL RIP YOU APART, I WILL DESTROY YOU, IVO," said Raiden in a fit of rage.
"HAHAHA Look at this! This is it! I finally got to hear it! Face to face, you see, you used to scream like this as well in my lab. But, of course, you had no voice; it was your eyes that did the talking. I love it! People LIKE YOU, YOU ARE SO emotional, I love that, it's so easy to manipulate. She's your weakness, isn't she? A lover perhaps? Meh, doesn't matter, I know you would scream like this for all of them," spoke Ivo.
"I will kill you," struggled Raiden as he tried to move his body, multiple times, trying his best to summon a servant, but failing because of the cooldown.
"Your kind of person, it's my favorite. You remember our good time together? The people I killed, you suffered each time one died. Logically speaking, you are at no fault, I mean, I did the killings, but your kind, AHAHAHA, they blame themselves, crying out, saying that they failed. It's so predictable and easy to manipulate. I mean, I'm sure that you'll probably survive this; you're immortal after all. But you will never be the same; you will remember my face forever, the face of the man that killed all your friends, as you watched," continued to taunt Ivo as he grabbed a knife and placed it on Raven's face, slowly cutting her cheek.
"AGHHHHHHH FUCK YOU LEAVE HER ALONE, YOU PIECE OF SHIT NOOOOOOOOO LEAVE HER," struggled Raiden over and over again.
Ivo looked at him and said, "Make me!"
Raiden shouted and shouted, but it didn't matter. To the point that he passed out.
"Oh? What is this, he passed out? He held out strong before; you can't tell me he passed out because I was about to torture his love! THAT'S NO FUN," said Ivo, as he dropped the bloodied knife and went to Raiden. He grabbed his face and slapped it. "WAKE UP! WAKE UP, DAMN IT!"
Raiden opened his eyes, but something was different; his eyes glowed golden, and his face bore no expression, almost as if he were emotionless.
"What is this?" said Ivo. But immediately, Amazo carried him away, and after that, Raiden's body exploded, creating a crater of smoke. In its place, something else was there. A monster was the wrong expression; the devil was close, but it wasn't accurate. No, it was something much darker, something that knew no fear. It was a man, a man determined to reach his goal, to achieve vengeance. He was called the Avenger Class Servant, The Count of Monte Cristo.

Avenger Class Servant: Edmond Dantès Summoned

'If you say you are my Master, then at least show me something. Show me the revenge that you seek,' spoke the servant, Edmond. Raiden heard many things in his mind about the System's Notifications, but the only words he paid attention to were Edmond's.
"I will, I will kill him. What is your name?"
'I am the Count of Monte Cristo.
I am not the Edmond who struggled with revenge and was saved by regret and reform.
I am the notorious incarnation of vengeance, the Avenger,' spoke Edmond.
"Then I will be the same," said Raiden.
He then closed his eyes as he started to feel his first Noble Phantasm, {Monte Cristo Mythologie}. The Noble Phantasm was a special type, the way of life of Edmond Dantès, acting as the incarnation of revenge, sublimated into a Noble Phantasm through his manifestation as an Avenger. As he did not fit under any other class, his body that manifested as Avenger was converted into a Noble Phantasm.
His body shined with electricity running through it; he was wearing a dark green suit, with a massive coat and a large hat. His eyes shone with golden light.
"I've never felt this good. I feel complete," said Raiden as he used his speed to appear behind Doomsday. The latter turned to attack, but all he received was a hand shooting a massive blue beam that ripped apart his entire left shoulder area.
Doomsday jumped backward as a laser beam attacked Raiden, but he merely dodged it. He effortlessly avoided all Amazo's attacks. Amazo activated Black Canary's sound powers, Superman's strength, Atom's beams, Flash's speed, and Manhunter's matter manipulation, but no matter what, Raiden dodged them all, hitting the robot with a strong beam, pushing it to its master's legs.
From behind, Doomsday struck, but Raiden met him with his guard. The monster tried to punch him multiple times, but Raiden predicted all of them and punched them back. After hundreds of blows dealt in less than twenty seconds, it was no surprise that Doomsday's hands gave out. Every punch dealt by Raiden was filled with the power of vengeance, something that fueled Edmond greatly. He charged it up and released it, creating a massive hole in Doomsday's body, connected to its shoulder. Doomsday was killed.
Raiden turned to see Amazo; he was surprised that the robot didn't take the chance to attack him, and he finally realized why. Amazo had run away with its creator; Ivo managed to escape Raiden's grasp once again. The man he transformed into the incarnation of vengeance to kill had escaped.

"As if."
"I don't need any mercy!
My path goes beyond love and hate!
Enfer Château d'If!"
The Noble Phantasm Enfer Château D'if was a representation of Edmond's prison, his ability to escape everything, even time and space. Seeing his revenge as a prison, Raiden was able to escape from it, reverting time to the spot where Ivo was and getting him back.
"WHAT, what are we doing back here?"
"ERROR," replied Amazo as the robot looked above it.
There were tens of Raiden Dantès flying, charging their Revenge blast, and then it was released, creating a massive blue ball of energy, destroying Amazo and injuring Ivo.
'What are you? To associate with me so much, it's just like...
No, you are not like Haydée.
You are you. Master,' spoke Edmond.
Raiden walked toward the area Ivo was in; he was crawling away, having lost a leg and an eye. Amazo clearly protected him, but it wasn't enough.
"So, this is your revenge, huh? Well, then kill me. My vengeance will be the hatred directed at you by your friends when you finally do it."
Robin was awake; he had awakened shortly after Raiden turned into Edmond Dantès. He looked at Raiden and said, "Raiden, please. If you do this, there will be no return."
Kaldur, who had also gained consciousness, spoke, "Raiden, revenge isn't the answer. You'll regret this in the long run. Please, don't kill."
Raiden turned his head to his friends and said, "Do you not understand? I am made of grudges, vengeance, and poisonous flames that bring death to whoever touches them. I am prepared for the consequences."
Raiden walked toward Ivo, grabbed him by the neck, and raised him up. Then and there, he stabbed his heart with his hand, taking it out and crushing it.
"UGHH, you did it, *cough* *cough* I'm proud of you. Now you'll die with your friends," said Ivo.
As he looked at Ivo's hand, the secret of this lab was revealed; a massive explosion occurred, as a huge gate emerged.
"SHIT," said Raiden.
He tried to save everyone, but he knew he couldn't. This thing was sucking everything at a faster rate than he could get them out.
He looked at Raven, then turned to Robin and said, "Tell her that I love her and that I will come back, no matter what."
He dashed toward the gate, using his power to break it. Using his blast, he managed to do just that, at the cost of being sucked into it.
"RAIDEN, NOOOOO," screamed Robin as he watched him sink deep into the gate. Then he disappeared with it, stopping.
"WHERE IS THAT THING GOING?"
Artemis, who had recovered, said, "The files we collected said something about the Phantom Zone."
