Titans North
…
Hello everybody! Prepare to read the 5th episode of season 6, Titans North.
Apparently, this episode will be Titans North's first mission.
Like "In the East", it took a little while before I figured out exactly what I wanted from this episode, but I think it turned out great.
Enjoy!
…
Previously on Teen Titans:
Red Star: Super Soldier reject with now radioactive powers.
He isolated himself from mankind, then sacrificed his life to save the town that lived near him.
He suddenly reappeared to help the Titans fight the Brother hood of evil.
Beast Boy made amends with Terra, who goes by Sarah now. She and he are together.
Robin has sent Jericho, a hero silent, yet formidable, an email-invitation to join Titans North.
Ravager, Slade's daughter crippled the Teen Titans.
She shorted out Cyborg's circuits.
She hurt Raven enough to put her into a special coma.
She stabbed Beast Boy in his chest.
They are now recovering.
Robin got through to Ravager, and sent her to join Titans North to be a hero.
The North tower is complete, and its electricity has been wired in.
…
"I, Doctor Light, will now blind this entire city in such a bright light, you will all go blind! The light is a god! It has power over your senses!" The infamous Dr. Light stood in the center of downtown, next to a big machine. It sparked.
"I do not like yor attitude, Light." The voice spoke with a Russian accent.
"Yeah, if the light's so great, then can it keep your mouth shut? Please?" This voice was extremely sarcastic!
"Grum!" A tough voice agreed.
"Who are-Hey, I know you two! You're that crystal girl and that caveman who stopped me that one time!" Dr. Light pointed a finger. His suit was connected to the big machine. It was about ready to start.
"I just love how specific you are!" The three figures, moved closer to Dr. Light. Two were as Doctor Light described: A girl who could turn into crystal, and a cave man. The other looked like a soldier.
"Ve vill not tolerate yor behavior, Light. Prepare to face defeat! Kole! Gnark! Positions!"
"Ready, Red Star!" Kole turned into a straight figure of crystal.
"Yeah!" Gnark bluntly responded, then picked up Kole to act as a battering ram, then took a fighting stance.
Red Star took a pose, then cried, "Titans Go!"
…
Cue the Teen Titans theme song!
…
Titans North charged at Dr. Light, and they did battle. Light was still charging his energy signal, but he was able to shoot blasts of light on his foes. He shot one at Gnark, who was thrust backward.
Kole unfroze, and got up to make sure Gnark was okay. "Gnark!" Angry that he was struck, Kole ran up to Dr. Light, jumped in the air, flipped around, and slammed her foot onto his helmet.
"Guah!" Doctor Light fell to the ground. Kole then jumped back to check on Gnark, who was quickly recovering. Red Star flew in, and punched the doctor as soon as he stood up. Doctor Light, fed up with pain, shot Red Star with a powerful blast of white light, then Red Star flew backwards. Kole looked on, somewhat helpless.
"Ah, you are too late, Titans! You have lost! My machine is now almost fully charged, and with it, I shall show the whole city the power and wonder of light!" Doctor Light yelled out, like a maniac.
Red Star sat there. What would they do? Suddenly, Red Star knew the answer.
"Gnark! Trow Kole into the air!" Red Star started to fly up. Gnark did what he was told, but Kole was freaking out.
"Red! What are you doing?" Kole was thrust into the air. Red Star flew over and caught her.
"What is this? What's happening?" Doctor Light panicked. He was so close!
"Tink fast!" Red Star flew over to above the machine, and thrust Kole down with his super-strength.
Kole figured it out, and turned into crystal. She fell toward the machine.
"NOO!" Doctor Light shot out a blast, but Kole fell too fast, the blast missed her, and she fell into the machine, breaking it. Shortly after, it exploded, and Kole, still crystal, flew back. Gnark ran, and caught her! Red Star flew toward them.
"No! NO, I was so close! Curse you Titans! I don't want to go to jail again!" Doctor Light fell to the ground, sobbing.
"Then you may vant to stop warshiping the light. You know, if you like it that much, there is a different kind of Light, if you wish to try it out?" Kole looked at him funny. Was he really bringing God into this? Red Star, always kind, was just trying to put Doctor Light at ease. But it didn't work.
Doctor Light went to jail, still sobbing. Titans North, now known heroes, went back to their tower. Their home.
…
"So what do you think, boss? We do a good job?" Kole, Gnark, and Red Star were walking. Kole had jogged ahead of Red Star, and started to walk backwards, so she could see his face.
"To be honest wit you, I…don't tink so…"
Gnark and Kole both fell backwards. "What?" Kole cried. The two quickly got up, they were almost home.
"Vell…Ve beat da bad guy, Yes?" Red Star didn't meet eye contact with them. He was thinking out loud.
"Yeah…" Kole answered confused. Gnark just walked along, confused, yes. But he didn't speak.
"But…." Red Star had decided what they were missing. "Ve took too long! Robin hand his crew? Tey vould have taken ten, maybe five minutes! But ve took twenty!"
"That's…honestly not that long, Red Star." The North tower was just up the hill, now.
"Yes it is! Not if ve cen do the job in ten minutes! Tat's half our time! Ve need more. Ve need more team mates…Ve need-"
"Me?" The three were scared out of their pants when they saw a girl dressed as a ninja, with long, white hair, and a bandanna that resembled Slade's mask.
After a long silence, the girl spoke. "What? I like to make an entrance."
Red Star approached her. "You must be Ravager. Yes?"
"You got it, big boy." Ravager gave him a coy smile. Red Star nearly blushed, but remembered the situation.
"I see. Vell, meet yor team,…Ravager. Kole, Gnark, this is the new girl." Red Star spoke with caution.
"Auauooauh?" Gnark pointed in disbelief.
"Yes, the one who attacked Cyborg and the others," Kole answered, bluntly. She wanted to give Ravager a look of kindness and forgiveness, but she was also angry and suspicious. So her look crossed between a glare and a smile. Ravager noticed this.
"Its okay, kid. I'm not gonna bop you guys in the middle of the night."
"Kole, I must make a call to the others. Will you show Ravager her room?" Red Star showed the two ladies the door.
"Oh! Uh…yeah. Sure. Gnark, we need some girl time, you stay here with Red Star," First nervous, then excited, she grabbed Ravager's wrist and ran in through the door.
Totally confused about what just happened, Gnark and Red Star stared at them running away.
"…Wuh?"
"You got me, big guy…"
…
Upstairs, Kole was standing in Ravager's new door, showing her the room.
"So yeah. You got a bed, a TV, a personal computer (Oh, by the way, it's a requirement to take turns writing our mission log every day, and to write in your own personal file at least once a week. Something the leaders came up with.), two dressers (Isn't that cool? The boys only get one!), a closet, and a few shelves. That's basically it, so you can start unpacking now!" Kole quickly breathed in. She had said a lot in one breath.
"Done!" Kole gaped and saw the bag that was full a minute ago, empty.
"Really? That's all your stuff?" Kole still stood their in disbelief.
Ravager shrugged, then gave a charismatic smile. "I travel light."
"Uh-huh….So," Kole had wanted to ask this, but wasn't sure if she should… "How are you doing?" The two girls had moved out of Ravager's room, and stood in the hall.
"What?" Ravager lost all emotional traces in her face.
"How are you doing? Do you think you can adapt…to…y'know…hero life?"
"Kole. This has got to be better then killing people for a living, right?" Ravager gave the same charming smile.
Kole smiled, then shrugged. "Well, duh!"
"Then I'll be fine."
"Yeah…Sorry! Stupid question! Heh. I bet you have even forgotten how to kill already!" Kole chuckled, a little nervously.
"Yeah." At the turn of a dime, Ravager, at lightning speed, grabbed her dagger with her left hand, quickly tossed it into her right hand, then pointed it square in the middle of Kole's chest!
"Eep!" Kole was so caught by surprise, she lost her breath!
"…I don't remember a thing…"
…
"I am so glad to see that you har doing better, Robin!" Red Star talked to Robin on the giant TV screen/super computer/ Titans database they now owned.
"Thanks, Red Star." Robin smiled. His face was still a little swollen, but other then that, he was back to normal. "So what did you call me for?"
"Ravager just arrived."
"I see…How is she doing?" Robin looked down, not facing the screen. He remembered the last time he saw her…
"She seems…fine. She does not seem moody hor deeztressed about her career switch," Red Star thought about how that was actually very strange.
"She's had a lot of time to think about it. I wanted to ask you something," Robin was surprised at first, with Ravager's quick mood change, but then he shrugged it off.
"Shoot,"
"How are you doing?" Robin stared into Red Star's eyes, a bit concerned.
"…De team is doing well. Ve just defeated Doctor Light not an hour ago. The computer's seem to be vorking fine, and-"
"I meant how are you doing, Red Star. You had not spoken to a single human being in years, not too long ago. Now you're the leader of a team," Robin paused, then repeated the question. "How are you doing?"
"…I don't know," Red Star buried his face into his hands, then, resuming his position, stated, "I vill be fine dough. Do not fear."
Robin smiled humorously. "You know, this isn't the army, Red Star. You can be a little less formal."
"…Okay." Red Star still kept his position, firm.
Robin sighed, then chuckled. "At ease!"
Red Star calmed down. "Very vell. Before I go, how are the others?"
Robin sighed. "Well, Starfire's resting. She's been Nurse for so long, I finally took over and gave her a break. Cyborg will be better soon. He's finally awake, which makes us all feel a little better, and his circuits will finish repairing them selves in a few days," He paused for a moment. He listened to Gnark being amused that Cyborg was fine. Then he continued. "Raven seems to be fine. I'm not too sure when she'll wake up, but my guess is in a week or two."
Red Star waited for the rest. "…Vhat about Beast Boy?"
Robin sighed again. "…I don't know. He was stabbed in the chest Red Star. It was also very close to his heart. He's not really expected to do well. Hm. Sarah's been coming every day after school to visit. She doesn't do anything but do her homework and read by his bed. …We're doing the best we can, but…if he is going to get better, it'll be…at least a month." Robin put his head down, ashamed that he had nothing else to say.
"…Vell, its better then no hope at all…" Red Star gave a slight smile to Robin.
Robin brought his head up. "I guess. I'll see you later, Red Star. I think Cy's calling for more water."
"Sure ting. Farewell, Robin!" Red Star took a pose.
Robin chuckled again, "Yeah, seeya! At ease!" Robin blinked out.
…
"Okay! Okay! You forgot how to kill! Please put the huge, pointy, dagger…away from my…-" The door behind Kole cut her off.
"Eep!" Kole cried again. Ravager quickly put her daggar away. But then she was shocked at who it was.
"JERICHO!" Ravager squealed when she saw Jericho standing in the door in front of her.
Jericho also showed a surprised face. Then he showed great joy, then he ran up to her and hugged her.
"I know, little guy! Its been forever!" Jericho then went up to Kole, and pointed to his eyes.
"Yeah, Hi Jericho! How's it going? Are you finished unpacking?" Kole smiled at Jericho. She thought he was so cute!
"UNPACKING?" Ravager squealed again. "Are you staying here?"
"Yup! Jericho here is the final member of our team!" Kole wrapped his arm around his shoulder, then stood next to him. Jericho looked at her again, and pointed at his eyes.
"Oh! You want to talk to Ravager?" Kole understood now.
Jericho nodded his head adamantly.
"Alright. But don't stay too long, I guess…" Kole got a little nervous, but was quickly at ease when Jericho smiled at her.
Jericho looked straight into Kole's eyes, he turned transparent, then entered and possessed Kole's body!
Kole's body, which was now Jericho sighed.
"Phew. It feels good to talk again!" Then he hugged Ravager. "Rose! Rose! Its been so long!"
"I know, Joe. I haven't seen you since…since.." Ravager remembered the last time she actually saw him.
"Since the incident. I know. I've missed you so much!" Jericho started to tear up. It was too much for him.
"I know, little guy!" Ravager attempted to comfort him. "I missed you too. When I first saw you acting as a hero, I said-" Ravager caught herself. Then she continued: "I said, 'Hey, look! Its Joe!' I was so….excited….to see you were still on planet Earth!"
"Really?"
"Really."
"Well, I didn't know you still existed until just a few minutes ago!" Jericho/Kole hugged her again.
"I know. Training to be an assassin does that to ya!" Ravager joked, but Jericho became unsettled.
"Hey…Hey. Its okay, dude. I'm not evil, or anything. Least, not anymore! I'm sorry…" Ravager patted him on the back.
JeriKole wiped some tears away. "Nah, its okay. Just…glad to see you again."
With that, Jericho left Kole's body.
"Woah!" Kole caught her breath. "That was really weird," Kole regained her train of thought. "So, I'm glad you guys are together again! But uh….How do you guys know each other again?" Kole was really confused here.
Ravager grabbed Jericho's shoulder like Kole did earlier. Pulling him in, she said, "Well that's easy! Jericho's my brother!"
"Eep!" Kole was so surprised, she shrieked again!
Kole just stared at the two siblings as Red Star yelled up the elevator.
"Kole, vill you please stop screaming? I am beginning to get a headache!"
