Zatanna (New Age)/Issue 1

This is the first issue of Zatanna (New Age).

Transcript
The issue begins in a crowded theater as multiple people are waiting as suddenly a voice booms throughout the theater.


 * Announcer: Ladies, gentlemen and everything in between, tonight we proudly present: The Princess of Prestidigitation, the Sorceress Supreme, the Mistress of Magic: Zatanna Zatara!

The audience roars in applause as Zatanna suddenly appears out of thin air as she bows.


 * Zatanna: Thank you! I am assuming you all are ready to see some magic today?

The audience shouts multiple words which all boil down to yes.


 * Zatanna: Heh! I see! First off let's do some basic fun magic.

She grabs her hat.


 * Zatanna: You see this? A normal hat, yes? Well... everything is not as it seems.

She winks and then pulls a cat out of the hat as the audience roars in laughter.


 * Zatanna: I know most magicians pulls rabbits out of their hats, but I am not like most magicians.

She smiles and puts the cat and the hat down as she suddenly puts her hand behind her ear.


 * Zatanna: Hold on, something itches...

She then grabs a coin out of her ear.


 * Zatanna: Silly me! I left my lucky dime there!

Zatanna flips the coin and then whispers something as suddenly the coin transforms into a bunch of doves as the audience thunderously roars, shocked but amazed at the same time.


 * Random Audience Member: How did you do this?!
 * Zatanna: A magician never reveals her secrets.

It cuts to a manor as John Sargent, also known as Sargon the Sorcerer, is drinking some tea as suddenly he hears a noise.


 * Sargon: Who's there?!

He looks around and suddenly sees a man in a black and white suit sitting at his table.


 * ???: A friend. Or an enemy. Depends on how willing you are to give me what I want.
 * Sargon: And what do you want? Fame? Money? My life?
 * ???: No, no, none of that, I want your ruby.
 * Sargon: I am sorry, it is not for sale.
 * ???: I figured you were going to say that.

He grabs the tea that Sargon was drinking and pours it out on his face before smashing the cup against his head.


 * ???: I will just take it myself.

Sargon screams in pain and tries to cast a fireball as suddenly, the stranger casts a shield spell.


 * ???: Poor legendary Sargon the Sorcerer, thinking that I don't have magic.

He grabs one of the shards from the shattered glass and forces it into one of Sargon's eyes as he screams in pain before limping down dead, as the stranger grabs the Ruby of Life.


 * ???: Thank you Sargon. No worries, everything will make sense, or else my name isn't.... Nick Necro.

Nick Necro disappears with a smirk as Sargon lays down, dead.
