A Magical Return

Season 5 episode 2 of Nightwing & Batgirl.
== Plot ==
At a fortress, the Magic Gang, comprised of Morgaine le Faye, Mordred, Abra Kadabra, Weather Wizard, Felix Faust, and Circe are seen together once again. 
"My fellow sorcerers, today is the today, we make our presence felt once again. Let's put the world on notice that the Magic Gang has returned!", Morgaine le Faye announced. 
"Oh yes! I love causing disasters", Weather Wizard said. 
"Is there anything else interesting to do?", Circe asked. 
"Well of course, there is. We will steal an ancient amulet believed to be a source of great power. Once we possess this amulet, what once were already powerful sorcerers would become even more powerful!", Morgaine le Faye answered. 
"And where is this ancient amulet you seek, located?", her son Mordred asked. 
"It is secured at Gotham Museum. It is hard to sneak there unnoticed. Many guards are doing rounds inside. Let's do it anyway, and put the world notice.", Morgaine answered, as she showed them the museum through her magical crystal ball. 
"Now that's interesting", Circe said, with a smirk.
The next day, Nightwing, Batgirl, and Crimson Avenger on the R-Mobile were chasing the Riddler, Calendar Man, and Cluemaster as they are on a ride on a stolen armored car. The heroes were thinking of a way to get the stolen armored car back to its owner without damaging it. Later, Nightwing thought of a plan. He went down the car and had Batgirl drive the mobile. Nightwing then hooked his grappling hook at the car's spoiler. Riddler felt the car became heavy and his driving slowed down, Calendar Man and Cluemaster, sitting at the back, took a look and found Nightwing there. They used laser blasters from their wrists to hit him, which Nightwing dodged. Nightwing was being dragged by the car, and he timed a somersault well, and was able to get to the top of the car, then he looked down at a car window and punched Cluemaster, knocking him out. He went on the other window and hit Calendar Man as well. Now, Riddler is the only one who remains. Nightwing went in the car through a window, then went beside the driver's seat. They battled, completely ignoring the road ahead. They were about to lose control of the car and bump on a wall, but good thing Nightwing was able to step on the brakes at the last second. Then, he now knocked Riddler out. Now, the heroes took the three villains to the police, then Nightwing drove the armored car and headed back to the stolen car's owner to bring it back. The man thanked the three heroes. Now, Crimson Avenger said goodbye to Nightwing and Batgirl. The two returned to their headquarters and chilled. Later, at sunset, they had an unexpected guess. It was Zatanna and Dr. Fate. They told Nightwing and Batgirl that the Magic Gang has returned and they need help protecting Gotham Museum from their latest scheme. 
"Let's go. We can handle them", Batgirl said, and Nightwing and her agreed. 
Now, they teleported to Gotham Museum with Zatanna's powers. "We anticipate them to come within an hour. But before that, let's expect them to summon their magical pets", Zatanna said. But only a few minutes later, they noticed some magical creatures spread around near the museum. 
"And they came earlier than expected.", Batgirl said. 
"So, who's gonna hold ground here at the museum?", Nightwing asked.
"I can handle them, hopefully", Zatanna said. 
"No. Just leave it to me. They might be more powerful and more prepared this time.", Dr. Fate said. 
"Uhm... Okay.", Zatanna said, agreeing.
Now, Dr. Fate kept guard on the museum while the three others spread out to take on the magic creatures. Nightwing and Batgirl destroyed the magic creatures using their gadgets. While Zatanna used her spells to battle the creatures. Later, the Magic Gang now began their operation and teleported in front of the museum. But, they were surprised to see who's in front of them. 
"Out of the way, Fate!", Circe told him. 
"Not a chance", Fate responded. The Magic Gang were enraged and combined all their attacks against Dr. Fate, but Fate's magic equaled their combined attack. Later, Fate overpowered them and they got sent flying away. Weather Wizard stood up, and using his wand, created a large tornado which sucked Fate up and sent him away.
"No!", Fate shouted. 
Now, the villains proceeded to make their entrance at Gotham Museum. Police went to the scene and tried shooting at them, but they were beaten down by magic creatures. Next, the villains took out the museum's guards. At a street of Gotham, Zatanna saw Dr. Fate on top of a tornado. Zatanna immediately went near and used her magic to stop the tornado. Fate fell down. Zatanna held him in her arms and asked if he's okay. Fate said yes, but now that he's sent away, the Magic Gang might have already entered the museum. They were surrounded by magic creatures, then they rose up and they took them out very quickly with their powers. Now, they teleported Nightwing and Batgirl along with them, back to the museum. They saw Morgaine le Faye, opening the glass case where the Amulet of First Magic was in.
"No, Faye! Don't touch it! It's power is too strong for anyone to possess.", Dr. Fate warned her. 
"Nonsense. If none of us could be able to possess such magic, then it wouldn't have been created in the first place.", Morgaine le Faye responded. 
Now, she held the amulet in her hands, and told her companions to put a hand on it, which they did. Now, the amulet's power were being transferred to each of them. Zatanna tried to stop them by hitting the amulet with a magic blast. But, she was hurt when her wand hit the amulet. She fell unconscious as the magic energy bounce back at her.
"Zatanna! Are you okay?", Nightwing asked holding her in his arms.
"Yes, I am. I just feel a bit dizzy.", Zatanna answered.
Nightwing carried her somewhere safe, in another museum room, as Batgirl and Dr. Fate held off the Magic Gang. The villains were too much for Batgirl to handle, as the magic blasts hit her and knocked her down. Dr. Fate was able to hold them off at first, but later also got sent away flying. Nightwing came back to the main hall of the museum were they were at. Just when he was about to approach the gang with his metal pole weapons, he was suspended in air by Mordred. Now, the three of them were suspended in the air by the villains with their magic. Their energy was now being absorbed by the villains as well. Back at one of the museum's rooms where Nightwing took Zatanna, she regained consciousness. 
"Ugh, where am I?", she asked herself. She immediately remembered about the Magic Gang and her other friends. 
"Oh, no! Nightwing, Batgirl, and Dr. Fate! They need me! They might be in trouble right now!", she said.
She immediately went back to where they battled and was shocked to see the others' energy being absorbed. Zatanna disrupted the villains' energy absorption, by hitting them with several magic blasts from her wand. It knocked the villains out. She was shocked that her magic was stronger than before. The others regained consciousness.
"Ugh, what happened?", Batgirl asked.
They saw Zatanna battling the villains on her own, and were surprised to see her having the upper hand. The others are slow to get up, especially Nightwing and Batgirl. Dr. Fate tried to help Zatanna, but his magic was weak now. But they were surprised that Zatanna could handle the villains combined. Zatanna now delivered the final blow, countering the magic they absorbed from the amulet by taking it away from them. The villains were suspended in the air and are groaning in pain as they were stripped of powers. Later, Zatanna was able to absorb them all, and she dropped the weakened villains after absorbing the amulet's powers from them. The villains fell unconscious, and Zatanna fell on her knees after. Dr. Fate went to him and asked if she's alright. 
"Yes, yes I am", she said, sticking her thumb up. 
"Zatanna! You did it! You beat them and stopped them for taking full control of the amulet's magic.", Nightwing told her excitingly.
Zatanna hugged Nightwing and said, "Thank you, Nightwing! I wouldn't have done it if not for you".
"You're welcome. Anyway, how where you able to overpower them when they were strengthened by the amulet's magic?", Nightwing wondered.
"I don't know as well", she just answered.
"Seems like when she tried to stop Morgaine and her gang in absorbing the amulet's magic by hitting it with her wand, seems like the amulet's powers were also transferred from her wand to her body. As a result, she fell unconscious, as her body adjusted to the newly absorbed powers.", Dr. Fate said.
"Makes sense", Batgirl replied.
"That's it! That's exactly how I felt. The amulet's magic was truly too much for anyone to possess. I wonder how the Magic Gang were able to resist the impact of the amulet's magic on their bodies", Zatanna said.
"Cause they're monsters. They don't recognize pain. They only know the feeling of power", Batgirl replied. 
"Makes sense as well", Nightwing said. 
They shared smiles with each other, as they got the job done. Later, policemen came and arrested the Magic Gang. When they regained consciousness, they were surprised that they were gathered in a police truck. 
"Wait, this ain't right. Why are we in here? Please let us go! No!", Abra Kadabra said as the truck kept moving and they were headed to jail. They were also powerless that time. 
Back at the Museum, Dr. Fate performed a spell which separated from Zatanna's body all of the amulet's magic she absorbed. Then, all the magic was condensed by Fate into a single diamond, which he placed back on the amulet. They put it back to its case where the amulet was originally placed. Nightwing and Batgirl assisted Zatanna as they walk outside the museum. Later, Zatanna felt better. Dr. Fate and Zatanna now thanked Nightwing and Batgirl and said goodbye to them, as they opened a portal to Tower of Fate and entered it. Nightwing and Batgirl now said goodbye to them and thanked them as well. The episode ends with Nightwing asking Batgirl to go and eat dinner, which Batgirl immediately accepts.
