THE RAVEN, THE ROBIN AND THE WOLF
'Where could she be? I felt her energy here, so where is she?'
It was your normal, boring, uneventful day in Jump City. Cyborg and Beast Boy killed each other in video games, Robin trained in the training room while answering Starfire (who was watching him)'s questions about Earth and Raven had locked herself in her room, so no one knew what she was doing. This boring period lasted until he received a little message.
"TITANS, THERE'S A HUGE PROBLEM IN THE CITY! GET DOWN THERE NOW!" Robin yelled from the training room. Everyone heard this and the next thing Robin heard was Cyborg and Beast Boy dropping their controllers, Raven bursting out of her room and Starfire slamming the door to the training room open. Robin grabbed his utility belt and ran off to the city with the others.
In the city, H.I.V.E., Plasmus and Cinderblock were wreaking havoc on the city. A fourth of it had already been destroyed and they hadn't even broken a sweat. As soon as the Titans arrived, they searched for whatever was destroying the city. Raven saw a building collapse.
"Hey, it's over there!" She shouted. They ran in the direction of the building and saw H.I.V.E., Plasmus and Cinderblock getting ready to destroy another building.
"Hey!" Robin shouted. "Stop right now and we might go easy on you." Plasmus threw a ball of sludge at the Titans, which they easily dodged.
"So you want to do it the hard way, fine with us..." Cyborg said as he changed his right arm into the Sonic Cannon. The Titans and villains charged at each other and the fight started.
(A/N: The following battles all happen at the same time, but don't end at the same time.)
Robin fought Plasmus. Robin threw an exploding disk at Plasmus, but it just went through him and hit a pile of rubble. Plasmus chuckled and started to throw more sludge balls at Robin. Just then, Robin got an idea. He threw an ice disk at Plasmus at froze him. Then, before Plasmus could break the ice, Robin threw an electric disk at him, which caused Plasmus to heat up. Just then, Robin realized his mistake.
"Oh crap..." He said as he saw the ice start to crack. The ice suddenly broke and many sludge balls flew at Robin. He managed to dodge most of them, but one caught him and made him fly into the wall and stick to it. Robin watched the rest of the sludge combine and reform Plasmus. Plasmus walked over to Robin. Robin felt his body being crushed as each punch thrown by Plasmus hit him from the neck down. Plasmus continued to torture Robin, while the rest of the group struggled with the other enemies.
'No, not yet, not until she's in trouble.'
Beast Boy fought Mammoth. Beast Boy transformed into a gorilla to match Mammoth's strength. The two tried to push each other back, but Beast Boy thought of something. He dropped onto his back and, using his and Mammoth's strength and kinetic energy, threw Mammoth into a large pile of rubble. Mammoth lay dazed in the rubble for a minute, while Beast Boy rested up for his next move. Mammoth slowly got up and staggered around for a moment. Beast Boy saw this and transformed into a rhinoceros. Mammoth saw Beast Boy transform and started to act like he was still dazed. Beast Boy charged at Mammoth, but before his horn could even get close to Mammoth, Mammoth grabbed Beast Boy's head and using the same maneuver Beast Boy did, flipped him onto the rubble, head first. Beast Boy transformed back to normal and did not get up.
'Not yet, soon…'
Starfire fought Cinderblock. Cinderblock had decided to go on a full-scale offensive against Starfire and was throwing punches wildly at her. Starfire had no problem dodging his attacks. Starfire soon thought of a plan after getting bored of dodging Cinderblock's fists. She flew around him at an amazing speed and Cinderblock had trouble looking around trying keep up with her. He soon got dizzy and Starfire flew up to his face.
"Cinderblock, look into my eyes to be cured from your state of dizziness..." Starfire said, trying not to smile. Cinderblock stupidly looked into Starfire's eyes. Starfire quickly shot her eye beams at Cinderblock's face, temporarily blinding him.
"I did not think that would work," Starfire said, powering up a starbolt. Cinderblock, enraged, started throwing more punches wildly and hit a surprised Starfire straight in her face. Starfire flew straight into a building, leaving a hole where she hit it, and slid down slowly until she hit the ground. She did not get up.
'Almost…'
Cyborg fought Gizmo (go figure). Cyborg tried to take Gizmo out quickly by destroying every gadget Gizmo had, but Gizmo still had an ace up his sleeve. He activated an after-image device and started to run around Cyborg, making about one hundred copies of him.
"Hey, Tin Man, what do you call somebody who is fooled easily?" All of the copies asked? "I don't know. What?" Cyborg asked, firing a Sonic Blast at each of the copies.
"YOU!" The real Gizmo said, jumping onto Cyborg's back and opening the panel on Cyborg's back.
"Ain't this some...oh no..." Cyborg said as his right leg fell off.
"Get off me, you little metal midget!" Cyborg said, trying to grab Gizmo.
"I've been taking Cyborg aaapart, all the live-long day..." Gizmo sang as he made Cyborg's arms fall off. Cyborg was then a one-legged robot hopping around.
"And the leg falls out of the...leg socket." Cyborg fell face first onto the ground.
"Old McGizmo had a farm, E-I-E-I-O. And on that farm was a shut down robot E-I-E-I-O."
'That was pathetic...wait, could that be?'
Raven fought Jinx. Jinx had, for most of the battle, just thrown bad luck spells at Raven. Raven thought of a valid strategy and got closer to Jinx as she dodged each spell. Once she was close enough, Raven punched Jinx in her face before she could throw another spell. Jinx staggered for a moment, then retaliated with a roundhouse, which Raven dodged by bending backward. Jinx attempted to sweep kick Raven as she did this, but Raven threw her hands onto the ground beneath her and did a back flip, lifting her feet off of the ground and kicking Jinx in her chin. Jinx flipped over and landed on her front. She got up, bleeding from the mouth and extremely angry.
"That's it, you tomboy!" Raven got so mad at this that she didn't notice that Jinx winked after she had said that. Jinx ran at Raven and jumped over her. Raven looked up at Jinx as she jumped. When Raven looked behind herself, however, she did not have enough time to get out of the way of the huge fist that was coming at her face. Mammoth had snuck behind Raven and punched her, while Jinx had actually jumped behind both Raven and Mammoth. Raven flew into a particularly hard and slightly jagged pile of rubble and lay on top of it, unconscious. H.I.V.E. walked toward her.
"Let's finish them off, starting with her." Mammoth said.
'That's it!'
A cloaked figure jumped out of the shadows and stood in front of Raven. Its face hidden in a shadow, it looked at H.I.V.E. with its eyes glowing black with white on the edges of its eyes.
"Hey punk, get out of our way." Mammoth ordered.
"Make me." The figure said with a slightly demonic voice.
"With pleasure." Jinx said, throwing a bad luck spell at the figure. The figure did something that nearly made Jinx run away. It held out a hand and caught the spell.
"Oh crap..." Jinx said.
"These things are dangerous, you know." The figure said, throwing the spell at Gizmo. The spell hit Gizmo in his face, causing Gizmo's robotic spider-legs to malfunction and wrap around Gizmo, trapping him.
"When I get out of this thing I'll..." Gizmo yelled a the figure.
"Shut up." The cloaked person said. It shot a dark beam at Gizmo, making him fly into Cinderblock, knocking him out. Cinderblock finally noticed the figure and watched it. Plasmus stopped punching Robin to watch the figure, too. Mammoth suddenly charged at the figure. The figure flew up to be at chest height with Mammoth. When Mammoth got close enough, he tried to punch the figure. The figure grabbed Mammoth's hand, stopping him, and covered it in dark energy.
"Hey, what the!" Mammoth said and tried to punch the figure with his left hand, which the figure did the same thing to it as his right hand. Before Mammoth could try to do something else, the figure floated down to the ground and picked Mammoth up, holding him above its head. Jinx's eyes got wide when she saw this. The figure then slammed Mammoth back and forth behind and in front of him, leaving a small crater with each slam. After about 15 seconds, it let go of Mammoth and let him fly into Cinderblock, knocking him out and creating a crack on Cinderblock's chest.
"Is that all you all have? I'm getting bored." The figure said as it looked at the remaining villains. Cinderblock charged at the figure. It yawned and held his hand out towards Cinderblock. Cinderblock became encased inside an orb of dark energy. The figure pointed his index finger up, making Cinderblock fly into the air. The figure pointed down and Cinderblock flew down at an accelerated rate, making a giant crater when he landed. The figure repeated his finger movement for about five minutes when it finally realized that it was causing too much damage to Cinderblock. The figure balled its hand up into a fist and the orb disappeared, causing Cinderblock to fall into the large crater that was created. Cinderblock did not move after that. Wasting no time, the figure pointed its hand at Plasmus, making an orb appear around him. The figure balled up his hand, making the orb shrink to the smallest size possible and let it stay like that, Plasmus trapped. The figure turned to look at Jinx, who looked at the figure with a frightened look on her face.
"You'll face a special punishment for hurting my..." The figure mumbled the last word, but still looked at Jinx viciously. The figure ran towards Jinx, who tried to roundhouse it. The figure bent backward like Raven, but unlike Raven, it grabbed Jinx's leg and twisted it, making Jinx spin and land on her back. Jinx got up, looking as furious as the figure was. She trued to punch the figure, but it just grabbed her arm, spun around so that his back was to her front, elbowed her in the stomach and flipped her into a building. Jinx, after about a minute, got up. Bleeding form her mouth once again. She looked absolutely furious. She ran at the figure and attempted a jumping kick. Just before her foot got to the figure's chest, the figure ducked, grabbed her leg, and slammed her onto the ground. Jinx did not get up.
"I can't believe she had a problem with these guys..." The figure took off the hood of its cloak, revealing a rather handsome young man who looked like a male version of Raven, except his hair was dark blue. The boy walked over to Robin, who had watched everything he had done. Robin opened his mouth to say something.
"Don't talk yet." The teenager said as he observed the matter that Robin was trapped in. The teen held out his hand a ball of dark energy appeared in it. The teen closed his hand and the ball of energy turned into a dagger, with which the figure cut the matter off of Robin. The dagger disappeared and the teen put his hand on Robin's forehead. A white glow emitted from his hand and in seconds, Robin was healed.
"You can talk now." He said. Robin was shocked.
"Do you...?"
"Yes." The teen said and walked over to Starfire.
"She's not so badly hurt." The young man said as he placed his hand on her back. A white glow emitted from his hand and Starfire immediately woke up. She looked at the person standing above her.
"Who are you?" She said weakly.
"A friend. Rest for a moment. You are not fully healed." Starfire obeyed him and watched as he walked over to Beast Boy.
"I should've got to him first." He said silently as he placed his hand on the back of Beast Boy's head, which was bleeding. A white glow emitted from his hand and some of the blood Beast Boy lost went back into his head, which freaked Robin and Starfire out. He looked up at Robin and Starfire, who walked over to him to watch him.
"He should wake up in a minute." The young man walked over to Cyborg and looked up at Robin, who was helping Beast Boy up.
"Hey, Robin, what kind of protection is installed in this robot?" He asked.
"Every one created." Robin replied.
"This should be easy..." The young man mumbled. He pressed some buttons in the open panel on Cyborg and after about 10 seconds, Cyborg was reactivated.
"Man, I'm rusty. I could've done that in half the time." The young man said.
"Hey, who are you?" Cyborg asked.
"A friend. Now let me put you back together." The teen said as he made Cyborg's legs float over to him. After a few minutes, Cyborg was fully reassembled and four out of the five members of the Titans were revived.
"One more." The young man said as he walked over to Raven. He took Raven in his arms and pulled her hood off. He placed his hand on the top of Raven's head, but no white glow emitted from his hand. Instead, the young man didn't move for a moment, then turned around to look at Robin.
"Can you take me to the Tower?" After a moment of staring at the young man, Robin turned around.
"Follow us." Robin said as he walked in the direction of the Tower.
"Hey Rob, you sure we can trust this guy?" Beast Boy asked. Robin stopped and looked at Beast Boy.
"He's the only reason you're walking Beast Boy. Of course I trust him." Robin kept walking after he said that. The six soon came to the shore and saw the Titan Tower in the distance.
"It's right there. The only way to get there is to fly. Come on." He said to the young man. At that, Beast Boy transformed into a pterodactyl and picked up Cyborg, Starfire flew up and picked up Robin and the young man, with Raven still in his arms flew up with them. After about 15 seconds of flying, they reached the Tower and walked in. They took the elevator up to the top of the tower. After looking around, the young man looked at Robin.
"Where is Raven's room?" He asked.
"In the darkest hallway, it's the room on the right."
"Thanks." The young man replied as he walked over to the T.V.
"Hold on." Robin said, knowing what the young man was about to do.
"What?"
"Before you go, can you tell us your name?" "Sure. It's Kenowabichi Azaron. Just call me Ken."
"Um...ok." Robin said. With that, Ken stepped into the shadow behind the T.V. and disappeared.
"Ok, he walked into the shadow just like Raven does. I'm going this way..." Beast Boy said as he walked to his room, which coincidentally was in the opposite direction of Raven's. Cyborg and Starfire decided to watch T.V., while Robin decided to go down the darkest hallway... In Raven's room, Ken had laid Raven on her bed and started searching for something in her drawer.
"Where is it?" He said as he searched. After a while, he smiled.
"Here they are." He said, taking out a long object and a short object out of the drawer.
"Ok, time to do it." Ken said as he picked up Raven's mirror. In the hallway, Robin had just pressed his ear to Raven's door to hear what was going on.
"This will hurt for a minute, Rae." Ken said as he held the mirror over her face.
"Sohtniz Noirtem Htaraza!" He said. A red glow came out of Raven and went into the mirror. Raven groaned and slowly opened her eyes. Ken put her mirror back and walked back over to her. He helped Raven sit up and she turned her head to look at him. "Ken!" She yelled as she bound him in a dark energy orb. Ken just looked at her and broke the orb with his own power.
"Don't even try, Rae. You can't keep me like that. You know that." He said, still smiling. Raven just pushed him against a wall with her power.
"I thought you were with father." She said angrily.
"I left him. He wanted me to start murdering people, so I thought I would find you guys." Raven just stared at him.
"Remember these?" He said, holding up the two objects he took out of her drawer.
"I can only possess these if I'm not lying and am loyal to you." Raven's eyes got wide.
"That's right. So you aren't lying." Ken grinned sheepishly. "That's right. Why don't we go someplace quiet where we can catch up on things?" Raven grinned too.
"Sure. I know just the place." She said, standing up.
"Plenty of space, and you can show me what you learned." She said.
"Ok, it's a deal. Let's go." Raven walked out of her room, passing Robin who had just got out of the way of the door.
"Hey, Robin" She said cheerfully as they passed him. Ken and Raven walked down to the training room, arms around each other and chatting cheerfully. Back by Raven's room, Robin still stood there, stunned.
'I can't believe it!' He thought.
