A/N: hey there boys and girls! I'm back with my next Teen Titans story. Challenge from AkumaKami64. Well anyway, on with the show!

Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans, King Kong, or I-funny in any way shape or form.

Chapter 1: the Catch

A lone figure wondered through the dark alleyways of Jump City. He wore black hooded robes with blood red trim that cast his features in shadow. He walked calmly and swiftly through the night.

For some strange reason, no one approached. No thugs tried to rob him. No hobos tried to beg for money from him. No one even seemed to notice he was there. He continued purposely down the winding streets. Nothing even slowed his pace. If anyone did notice him, they could tell he had somewhere he wanted to be.

He eventually came to a halt in a dark alley overlooking the bay. The streetlights glowed across the many buildings that marked the sight as Jump. One building caught the eye; one on an island out in the bay. It was shaped like a large T. If anyone could have seen the man's face; they would have noticed the wicked grin that overtook his features at the sight.

"I take it you're ready?" asked a quiet voice from the shadows.

"Of course, my lord," the robed man replied. "It will all go as planned. I will see to that. You have nothing to worry about."

"I wouldn't underestimate our enemies, if I were you. It has been the downfall of many a great powers in this world and others. Just look at the Brotherhood of Evil and Trigon."

"Believe me, I haven't. I wasn't chosen for this because I was quick to doubt my foes abilities. I was chosen because I always OVER estimate them. I prepare for everything. Once the trap is sprung, you need only to sit back and watch as they tear each other apart."

"Good," replied the voice with a note of wicked glee. "If all goes well, the Titans will be dead, Jump City will be mine, and the world will soon follow. The only thing that could go wrong is if the Justice League were here. Of course, they're away on official business so all should be well. As long as I secure my foothold, the League won't be a problem. Be sure you don't fail me."

"Of course," said the robed man. Suddenly, he doubled over in pain, releasing a mouthful of blood onto the ground. He coughed for a moment before standing upright and regaining his composer.

The voice seemed to regard him for a moment. Finally he said, "The effects are worsening. You'll need to work quickly if all is to succeed. Are you taking the medicine?"

"Yes, my lord. It is nothing to worry about, I assure you. The effects from the medicine are just fading, that's all. Another dose and everything will be fine."

His words were considered for a time. "Very well then, we're done here. I'll be watching the progress of the mission. I'll move when the monsters have killed each other. You may proceed."

The robed man bowed. "Thank you, master. The Titan's destruction begins now."

"Will you turn that down? I'm trying to read!" screamed Raven at the pair playing video games on the couch. "Jeez, you'd think you guys would be more considerate by now!"

"Ah, come on Rae! It's fun!" replied Beast Boy, his eyes never leaving the game.

"Don't call me Rae," she replied automatically.

"Let them relax," said Robin from his spot on the other end of the couch, his arm draped around Starfire. "It's not every day we have enemies that knock EACHOTHER out. We deserve to celebrate. Seven bad guys in one day, time for a movie night, and sunny skies tomorrow? How lucky can we get?"

It had been a month since the Brotherhood of Evil had been put on ice. Of course, in two weeks all of them were free, but the ringleaders were being chased across Africa by the Doom Patrol. All the other losers were back to their old tricks, though.

This time, the Hive Five had teamed up with Overload and Control Freak, and then tried to rob the mall. That was a big mistake. When two electronic controlling people try to use the same thing at the same time, the thing explodes. And when those people are back-stabbing crooks, fights break out between them. And when fights break out between them, our heroes try not to pee their pants as they laugh at the guys they're supposed to be fight beat the crap out of each other. All in all, it was an easy job.

Now the team was chillin in on the couch. Raven was reading an old book, BB and Cyborg were wrestling as they played video games, and Robin was tossing a baseball in one hand while he explained the rules of the game to Star, because they were going to the park the next day to enjoy the nice weather that had been predicted by the weather man, who was surprisingly accurate.

Finally, and inevitably, Cyborg won their game. They both sat back, one to celebrate with the usual "Boo-ya!" the other to fume. Cyborg suddenly got an alert on his arm. He read it before busting out laughing. He showed it to BB who did the same.

"What is it?" asked Raven, annoyed. They showed to her. It was a super model in a bikini walking down a rock beach. Across the bottom read, "9 out of 10 guys don't see King Kong in this picture." Sure enough, what she assumed to be rocks was actually King Kong. She shook her head and sighed.

"I have it programed to give me I-funny alerts," said the machine man.

"I wish I could do that," said Beast Boy as he dipped his spoon into the bowl of pudding in his hands.

"Ah Beast Boy, where did you get that pudding?" asked Cyborg quietly.

"The counter, why?" he replied.

Raven raised an eyebrow. "Isn't that Starfire's home made pudding?" He froze, then slowly placed it onto the table and pulled away from it.

He turned to the grey witch. "Hey, since Cy kicked my butt, do you want to play video games, Rae?"

"Not if you held me at gunpoint. And don't call me Rae."

"Oh, come on Rae! It'll be fun! You know you want to!"

Then the strangest thing happened. Raven got angry, very angry. Normally that wasn't unusual, if the conversation carried on. But this was just starting and she never lost control this early on in one of her fights with the changeling. But before anyone knew what was happening, the pudding exploded, all over Beast Boy, and only Beast Boy.

He looked at her with narrowed eyes, his cloths beginning to steam where the so-called pudding had landed. Now he was losing his temper, which hardly ever happened, especially with Raven. Cyborg could tell something was wrong with them, but not what. "What the heck was that for?!" BB yelled.

"It was an accident!" she replied.

"Oh ya right! That's why it only hit me, I'm sure. It just-"

She was angry and wanted him to shut up. Before anyone knew what was happening, the ball in Robin's hand went flying at unbelievable speed towards the changeling.

Then the second strange thing of that night happened. Without even hesitating, flinching, or even looking for that matter, Beast Boy reached around and caught it.

Then it got weirder. "-happened to only get on me, who you were yelling at!"

Everyone froze and stared at the green boy in shock. Beast Boy, the clumsy kid who was always getting beat up by the bad guys had just stopped that ball without even looking, and without even hesitating in what he saying. What's more, that ball was going so fast that Robin, with all his Boy Wonder reflexes, would've been hit in the face and sent flying into the wall by the time he could think "Oh crap! There's a ball flying at me! I should get the heck out of the way before it hits me in the face and sends me flying into the wall!"

Beast Boy looked at the ball in his hand and shrugged before tossing it over his shoulder back to Robin. The masked boy was so shocked he barely registered when it smacked him in the forehead. The changeling opened his mouth to say more to the grey sorceress, but at that moment the alarm went off. Robin rushed to the console under the TV.

"It looks like the Museum in the old part of town is being robbed. Titans, go!"
