AN: The Bean Titans Adventures continues. (The three-year break ends.)

This will be one of my longer editions because I use so many things in this story.

As usual, nonetheless, you guys are free to browse through the stories I have already created and provided for you (especially Times of the Titans League to reference who was in the Bean Titans).

Enjoy!

~BTA Part 4: Worldwide Troubles~

Chapter 1 — The Peace Ends

All of the Bean Titans knew now that the three years without any real trouble was now over. They expect the worst—that all of Wrinkle's gang, who have become immortal, to strike at once. As such may be the case, the Titans prepare themselves for anything.

All of the Legendary 12, except Sweet, were in the Mission Room to view a surveillance radar of the Gulf. Every green dot was an ally and every red dot showed a threat. Sweet (age 44), alone, was outside of the Tower on the shoreline, ready to take on any opposition.

"Anything yet, Dotty?" Sweet asked, via wristwatch.

"No, not yet... wait, there they are." Dotty responded, seeing four red dots on the radar.

"Where?"

"Four of them, at 11 o'clock."

Sweet looked in that direction and did not see any threats. "Dotty, look at the sonar—I don't see anyone." Sweet requested.

Dotty told Aurora to look at the sonar nearby.

"He's right; they are underwater!" Aurora alerted them.

Hearing this, Sweet looked all around to see where his foes would appear. Suddenly, the enemies showed themselves, jumping high out of the water. They were definitely Wrinkle's henchmen, as Sweet saw a former Titan, Claude (a crab). The other three were: Jolly (new member, a walrus), Goochy (a jellyfish), and Slippery (a seal). They were Wrinkle's marine assault team.

The four of them fired continuous water-based attacks at Sweet; that was his signal to evade them.

"Come on, Sweet..." Fleece uttered from the Mission Room.

"He'll be fine." Mystic assured her.

"Are you sure about that...? Because another enemy is right behind him." Kuku marked.

Dotty contacted Sweet again, to tell him about the secret foe. Sweet was too late, as Stinger (a scorpion of Wrinkle's team) stung Sweet in the back with Poison Tail.

Mac sensed this from the Tower. "He's hit... bad..." Mac mentioned.

"No..." Fleece murmured, worried for him. How could she not be, when it was him versus five foes at once?

"Let's finish him..." Jolly said to his team, as he was the captain of the squad.

"Damn!" Sweet said in his mind, as he was almost immobilized from the poison from Stinger.

Luckily, before Sweet thought he was finished, a group of "people" stood in between Sweet and his opposition. They looked faint to Sweet, as the poison was kicking in.

"Away." spoke one of the people in front of Sweet, commanding his group to battle.

Everything went blank to Sweet for about two minutes. After that two minutes was up, Sweet found himself awake and somehow fully healed from the battle. Realizing where and how he was, he saw the heroes who saved him and warded off Wrinkle's marine team; many of them looked familiar, especially two of them, who Sweet had not seen in a long time.

"It can't be..." Sweet said, looking upon those who were now his allies.

"Sweet, my boy!" Father Early exclaimed, glad that he was all right.

"Father Early! Mother Strut!" Sweet hugged them both. "How've you been?"

"Fantastic." Strut answered.

Sweet looked down to see a mini Strut. He crouched down. "Who's this?"

"Our daughter, Strata. As you know, my boy, the two of us (himself and Strut) are very busy... so can I trust that you can take care of her?" Early asked.

"Um, sure... and what about the rest, standing around us?"

"They are your fellow Bean Titans, now. They're just waiting on you to accept them into the team." Strut answered.

Sweet thought about it for a second. He turned on his wristwatch to contact the rest of the Legendary 12. "Everything's under control, guys. Carry on." He turned it off and turned his attention to the group. "All right, so who's shaking my hand first?" Sweet questioned.

Early, Strut and Strata took the initiative to that, as they wanted to see how life was like as a Titan.

The others formed a line behind them; except for a few of them, they were Titans that Sweet had seen before.

"(as they came) Welcome back, Erin... Kicks... Scoop, and your son?"

"Yep." said Scoop.

After Scoop, a familiar-looking lamb was next. "Hold on a second..." Sweet uttered, trying to figure out where he seen the lamb before. "There's no way that you can be... Ewey?"

It was. Fleece's younger step-sister stood before Sweet, but she still looked like she was a teenager. "Yeah, it's me." Ewey (age 16) replied.

"We thought that you were dead, back then. And how do you still look so young?"

"I know, I'll explain later. How's Fleece?"

"She's fine; her and I have been married for about 20 years now."

Ewey was startled. "I've missed so much..."

"Well, go catch up!" Sweet urged her, leading her on to the Tower. "All right, next."

A star-spangled bear steps forward with who appear to be her twin daughters.

"And you are?" Sweet asked for their names.

"Glory; these are my daughters, Gloria and Gloriana." answered the mother.

"Ah, and who's the father?"

"Kicks."

"All right then, welcome." After that, a stone gray bear approached; his name was Zack. He sounded promising, saying that he was always open to challenges. After him was the last newcomer, a pink bunny.

"Last but not least... can I get your name?" Sweet asked.

"Hoppity Shizune (age 16)." the bunny answered. Hoppity looked very similar to Floppity when she was young, only the colors were different; Hoppity had hot pink hair, magenta eyes, and bright pink skin. She was half-Canadian and half-Asian.

"Huh... your first name rhymes with Floppity." Sweet replied.

Hoppity was alerted by the name, having a cheerful look on her face. "Did you say Floppity?"

Sweet was confused. "Yeah... do you know her?"

"Well... no. My mom told me that my father had a daughter with another woman, before she died. She said that her name sounded like mine..."

"So... that's make you Floppity's... half-sister, I presume?" Sweet guessed.

"I think so." Hoppity answered.

"Well, she's inside the Tower. Go on in and find out for certain. And welcome to the Titans, by the way." Sweet said.
