Robin
Team Affiliation: Titans West; Leader
Powers: No powers; Robin is a completely normal human being
Bio: Robin is a natural-born leader; bold, fearless, and a powerful fighter despite his lack of special powers. He can be a little hot-tempered and, at times, impulsive, but the strength of his feelings for his friends helps him to stay focused. Robin also has a clever mind and can almost always figure out a way to outwit the enemy. In addition to his wits and impressive hand-to-hand combat skills, Robin carries a vast array of weapons and gadgets to aid him in taking down an adversary.
Raven
Team Affiliation: Titans West
Powers: Shadow Sorcery, Levitation, Healing Aura
Bio: The daughter of a human and the Demon Trigon. Raven is a distant person who must keep her emotions at a low level or risk falling to her father's violent influence. At times when she loses her cool, some of her father bubbles to the surface, causing her power over the shadows to become incredibly strong but terrifyingly unpredictable. Despite this, Raven is really a good person and a valuable asset to the team.
Beast Boy
Team Affiliation: Titans West
Powers: Animal Shape-Shifting
Bio: A boy with green skin and the ability to change his form to that of any other animal, extinct or otherwise. Beast Boy is the comedian of the group, willing to do just about anything to get a laugh. While this might give him the appearance of being totally unserious, Beast Boy can be focused when the need arises and his power of the animal kingdom can make him as powerful as he wishes to be.
Starfire
Team Affiliation: Titans West
Powers: Super Strength, Flight, Star Bolts, Optic Blast
Bio: A princess from the planet Tameran who came to Earth recently and joined the Titans. Because of her inquisitiveness and her overzealous reactions to her unfamiliar surroundings, Starfire can seem less than intelligent, but this is certainly not the case. Starfire has unbelievable physical strength for her size and her thermal energy Star Bolts are a formidable weapon. Against tougher opposition, Starfire can also focus this thermal energy through her eyes for a more powerful blast.
Cyborg
Team Affiliation: Titans West
Powers: Bionic Eye, Cyber Strength, Sonic Cannon
Bio: Half-human, half-machine, Cyborg is the tech master of the group. He builds a good portion of the devices used within Titan's Tower and built the T-Car and the other Titan vehicles entirely by himself. In combat, Cyborg uses his great strength and Sonic Cannon to teach enemies the meaning of pain.
Captain Echo
Team Affiliation: Fiend's Eye Pirates; Captain
Powers: Sound Manipulation, Fiend's Eye Illusion
Bio: A teenaged pirate captain with a passion for looting and a patch over his left eye. Echo formed his crew with the intention of becoming the most feared pirate in the world; his reasons for this ambition have not been brought to light. In battle, Echo is a solid swordsman who also possesses the ability to create and command sound waves. If all else fails, Echo removes his eye patch and unleashes the power of the Fiend's Eye, a dark artifact that he obtained through an unholy ritual after losing his left eye to a battle on the sea. The Eye amplifies his power and allows him to cast illusion through song at the cost of severe energy loss. In addition, when the Eye is uncovered, Echo's personality changes to that of a bloodthirsty madman. Despite this dark aspect, Echo is usually an easygoing person and, like Robin, he cares a great deal for his comrades.
Photon
Team Affiliation: Fiend's Eye Pirates; First Mate, Navigator
Powers: Light Magic, Levitation, Super Speed
Bio: A young man who gained the ability of light magic by some mysterious twist of fate. Despite his light-based powers, Photon has a very dark and bitter attitude. Owing to this, he does not get along well with the other members of the crew, save for Echo, the only person whom Photon has told his mysterious origins. Photon is the Captain's best friend and for him he has the utmost loyalty. In battle he can levitate, create lasers and other forms of light from his own being to attack, or blind enemies with a bright flash. If the need arises, he can even move at the speed of light for a short time. For close combat, Photon favors a staff and his skill with it is not to be underestimated. On the open sea, he is one of the best navigators and map-makers around, thanks to his ability to see in the dark.
Déjà Vu aka "Déjà"
Team Affiliation: Fiend's Eye Pirates; Second Mate, Cook
Powers: Shape-Snatch
Bio: A young French chef and a skilled axe-wielder, Déjà Vu is one of the more peculiar members of the crew in that he thinks more highly of romance than piracy. His talents in the kitchen make him very useful on the high seas and his power to mimic an enemy's form and special abilities with a single touch has secured him a spot as second mate. However, if the enemy is a cute girl, Déjà prefers to flirt first and fight later.
Medic
Team Affiliation: Fiend's Eye Pirates; Ship's Doctor
Powers: Instantaneous Healing
Bio: A former ninja from Japan who joined Echo's crew to put his healing talents to use. The one thing he cannot heal is his own poor vision, which he compensates for with extremely thick glasses. Lacking useful powers for combat, Medic will keep his distance and launch his shuriken with amazing accuracy at the enemy. Even if an opponent does succeed in striking him, his healing power allows him to be at top strength again in an instant. With Medic's skills backing them up, Echo's crew can withstand even the most grueling of battles.
The Blind Shotman aka "Shotman"
Team Affiliation: Fiend's Eye Pirates; Ship's Gunner
Powers: Super Strength, Inner Eye
Bio: A giant of a man from Russia who was born without sight. Shotman always wears a cloth band over his eyes to hide their strange appearance. Ironically, while he may be blind, Shotman's power of the Inner Eye lets him see whatever he desires to, making him one of the best marksmen in the world. This power even allows him to read thoughts, making the task of ferreting out traitors and mutineers simple for him. On the open sea, Shotman is in charge of the ship's cannons; he has never missed a shot. In combat, Shotman uses twin pistols that have been modified to fire energy bursts instead of bullets. In a pinch, the cannon mounted on his shoulders is all he needs to get the job done.
Gemini
Team Affiliation: Fiend's Eye Pirates; Ship's Guard
Powers: Replication
Bio: The only female member of Echo's crew, Gemini joined as recompense for being rescued. Captain Echo found her near death and had his crewmen help her to regain her health. Upon discovering her ability to create copies of herself or anything she designated, Echo insisted that she join him. She does not enjoy the idea of stealing, but Gemini's budding feelings for the Captain prevent her from leaving the crew. While she may not look capable of guarding a ship on her own, Gemini needs only to invoke her power to get all the help she needs. To take down her enemies, Gemini and her doppelgangers expertly use tonfa to dish out "multiple beatings".
Reflections and Echoes
A Teen Titans Fiction
The Teen Titans do not belong to me, but I'm still going to use them! And there's nothing you can do about it! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! The Fiend's Eye Pirate Crew is MY creation; no touching! Don't make me hate all of you even more than I already do! If you don't like being insulted, you should probably skip this stupid disclaimer and read the story. If you're still reading, you should know that any similarities between the Fiend's Eye flag and my flag are purely in your imagination. The events of this story unfold immediately following the "Titans East" saga. You are all diseased. – Cap'n Sanji
Open season on the open seas,
Captain says, "No prisoners please"
Skull and crossbones on a background of black;
We ain't stealin', just takin' it back…
"Take It Back"
Jimmy Buffet and The Coral Reefer Band
Part 1- Skull and Crossbones
(It is the middle of the day and Titan's Tower comes into view. Inside, Beast Boy is arguing with Cyborg over who is better at a certain video game, Starfire is in the middle of preparing a new (and probably highly putrid) Tameranean dish, and Raven is meditating on the roof, when Robin calls a meeting in the war room. He turns on the giant computer screen and voices a concern he has been having.)
Beast Boy: New members!? Why do we need new members?
Robin: Well, you see… (types something in, the Tower of Titans East in Steel City appears)…while we do have the added help of Titans East… (a map appears and marks the two towers, then two red circles appear at the top and bottom of the map)…we need more reinforcements in the North and South areas. So, we have to start looking for new recruits as soon as possible-
(At that moment, a blaring alarm sounds and the room is filled with a flashing red light)
Raven: Looks like the talent-scouting will have to wait…
Starfire: What is the crime that is being committed?
Beast Boy: Who is it this time? Overload is attacking the power station? Mad Mod's hypnotizing all of downtown?
(Robin scans the computer readout.)
Robin: Just some guys in black holding up a bank. This looks like a regular group of criminals. Wait a minute… There's also word of a ship in the city port… with a skull-and-crossbones flag.
Cyborg: You're kiddin' me; Pirates!? In this day and age!?
Robin: Cyborg, go check out that ship. The rest of you, with me! Move out!
(Insert Japanese theme song and animation here)
(Robin and the other three arrive at the bank. Inside, they see several citizens and the bank tellers on the ground, covering their heads. At the side wall, the steel door of the safe lies on the floor next to a huge hole in the wall. The hinges are torn into scrap metal. Voices can be heard inside the safe. As the Titans move closer, five people can be seen from the back inside. All are wearing long black jackets with a large, white music note on the back. The largest one suddenly turns around. His eyes are covered with a white cloth band and the left side of his jacket has an eyeball symbol embroidered on the chest. On his shoulders is a large metal cannon and two high-tech pistols gleam from his belt. He turns to one of his comrades and speaks in a thick Russian accent.)
Shotman: Captain, we have company.
(Another of the men turns towards the Titans. He has a head of thick, red hair and a patch covering his left eye. On the black eye-patch is a small white music note. By the look of him, he can be no older than sixteen. The Russian, while huge, appears even younger.)
Echo: (speaking with a slight Scottish accent.) Crew, stop what yer doin' an' turn around. We may have to fight it out, so be ready.
(The other three turn and are also revealed as teenagers. One is completely covered up, wearing a black wide-brimmed hat and dark sunglasses. The neck of his jacket is drawn up high to cover the rest of his face and black gloves cover his hands. His jacket has a six-pointed white starburst on it. He pulls out a black metal staff and spins it a couple times. The man on his left has short blond hair and what appears to be a chameleon on his jacket. He smiles and pulls a wicked-looking battle-axe from behind his back. The third one has black hair and thick glasses set on his nose. His jacket bears a red cross.)
Echo: Ahoy there! I'm 'fraid I don' know who ye are, but yer blockin our exit. So, if ye don' mind…
Robin: I don't know who you are, but you're breaking our city's laws. So if you don't mind, turn yourself in quietly or face the consequences!
Echo: Was 'fraid ye'd say that… Crew? (draws a cutlass blade from the scabbard on his belt) Time ta fight!
Robin: They always pick the hard way…
(Robin throws five Throwing Birds from his belt. Before they can touch the captain of the group, the man in glasses throws some shiny objects from his jacket. They collide with the Throwing Birds and both projectiles clatter to the ground. The shining objects are revealed as some viciously pointed shuriken stars.)
Medic: (Asian accent) Keep your little toys away from our captain!
(The blond man glances up at Starfire and his eyes take the shape of little hearts)
Déjà: (French accent) Ooooh! Mon Capitan! Please, can I-?
Echo: Mister Déjà, what've I told ye about fishin fer wenches on the job!?
Déjà: Pardon mon Capitan... It won't happen again…
Robin: Looks like we take em on up close and personal… Titans, go!
(Robin runs forward to strike the captain with his metal staff. In the blink of an eye, the man with the sunglasses has blocked Robin's path and parried with his own staff.)
Photon: As long as I'm here, you won't get near my Captain.
(Robin and the covered man begin fighting furiously. Meanwhile, the giant has turned his pistols on Raven and is firing bursts of energy one after the other, trying to knock her out of the air. She turns around to face him, blocks his shots with a shield of her shadow magic, then her eyes take a white glow)
Raven: Azarath Metrion Zinthos!
(The door of the safe is enveloped in shadows and lifted off the ground. It flies at the giant, and knocks him into a wall. The door then slides over him, trapping him within the wall.)
Déjà: (performs that really annoying Frenchman laugh) I will filet you, my green friend!
(The Frenchman swings his axe several times, missing Beast Boy by a hair with each swing. Beast Boy responds by entering his grizzly bear form and smashing the axe from his opponent's hand.)
Medic: Help is on the way, Déjà!
(The bespectacled man throws another salvo of stars at Beast Boy. Beast Boy cringes in his human form… then sees that the stars are a foot away from him and shrouded in shadows. Raven then directs the stars straight at the one they were to protect. The Frenchman gasps in pain as some cuts are opened on his face and arms. Meanwhile, the Captain is using his sword to deflect the many Star Bolts that are being thrown at him. The covered man has pulled a surprise maneuver on Robin by blasting lasers from his staff. Robin is hard-pressed to keep dodging.)
Starfire: If you will not stop your evil stealing, then I shall make you stop!
(Starfire releases her powerful Optic Blast. The Captain tries to deflect it, and his sword is knocked away. Part of the beam catches his sword hand, burning it red.)
Photon: Captain!
(The covered man fires some lasers from his staff at Starfire, forcing her to back off.)
Robin: Hey, you're fighting me remember!?
(Robin uses the covered man's inattention as an opportunity to get in a hit with his staff. The covered man falls back, dropping his staff. Robin picks it up and tosses it behind him. The disarmed pirates back away as the Titans surround them, except for the giant who is still stuck in the wall.)
Robin: Give it up. It's over.
Echo: Been a while since we had anyone who could disarm us all… Crew? The gloves are off!
(The one in glasses puts his hands together. A golden energy field surrounds the crew. The Frenchman's cuts seal up and the burn on the Captain's hand vanishes. The giant bursts out of the wall and throws the door of the safe at the Titans. Beast Boy turns gorilla and deflects it. The pirates then attack again.)
Robin: What are you gonna do? Without your weapon, you have no lasers.
Photon: Who says so?
(The covered man points one gloved hand like a gun and begins firing multiple laser blasts. Robin dodges them quickly while Beast Boy launches a new attack on the Frenchman.)
Beast Boy: Give up yet?
Déjà: Non. But that is one magnifique ability of yours. I think I'll borrow it for a while.
(The Frenchman touches his index finger to Beast Boy's forehead. His body is enveloped in a white light, and his form shifts. Beast Boy gasps as he finds himself facing… himself!
Déjà: (In Beast Boy's voice) Sweet! Now let's test out your power… dude.
(The fake Beast Boy turns gorilla, punches the real McCoy across the bank, turns rabbit and reaches the other side first, then turns kangaroo and kicks Beast Boy into a wall back on the other side. Starfire throws a Star Bolt to get the covered man away from Robin. The man turns to her… and rises into the air. Panicked, Starfire unleashes another Optic Blast.)
Photon: Women…too stupid to pick your battles more carefully…
(The covered man puts up one hand and the blast curves in midair, then strikes Starfire.)
(Raven zeros in on the captain)
Raven: Don't make another move.
Echo: No moves? Okay. How 'bout sounds? (whistles sharply)
(Raven shudders as the sound becomes increasingly more piercing, far beyond any normal whistle, and the vibrations become visible as waves of light blue energy. She is finally brought to her knees as the sound waves reverberate inside her head.)
Echo: Right. That's enough, Crew. Back to the ship.
Shotman: Captain? I have looked into the mind of their leader. One of their comrades is aboard our ship.
Echo: What? Well, too bad for him then. Let's go.
(The giant picks up a huge bag that is stuffed with bills and the pirates walk towards the front door. Robin, who is the only Titan still standing, moves to block the way.)
Robin: You aren't going anywhere but jail!
Echo: I admire yer courage, really I do. But ye'd best be more concerned fer yer mate on board me ship. Cause once me Ship's Guard finds him, it ain't gonna be pretty. Mister Photon, an exit if ye please.
(The covered man removes his sunglasses. Underneath, his eyes are like twin beacons of light, almost too bright to be looked upon.)
Photon: Luminos Necrodin Xendrenel!
(The light from his eyes grows brighter until it fills the room. Robin shields his eyes against the flash. When he opens his eyes, the pirates are gone and a symbol is burned into the floor. It is a skull and crossbones with the skull displaying a goofy grin and its right eye curved into a smile expression. The left eye is covered with a black patch displaying a white music note.)
(Meanwhile, in the city port, Cyborg is following his orders and doing an inspection of the massive Brigantine galleon that is anchored there. Just below the rail, some words are burned into the hull of the ship; "Red Vengeance".)
Cyborg: Man, this ship is huge!
(Outside, the T-Car is parked next to the gangplank. Cyborg is currently on the deck, looking at the flag, which bears the same symbol as the floor of the bank. He burns an image of that into his bionic eye. Just then, his Titans communicator beeps)
Cyborg: What's going on, Robin? How's the butt-kickin going?
Robin: Cyborg, you're not alone! Get off that ship!
Cyborg: Say what?
Robin: There's someone… or something guarding that ship! Get out of there!
Cyborg: Whatever it is, I can handle it. Don't worry.
Robin: Cyborg-!
(Cyborg clicks the communicator off. There is suddenly a voice from behind him.)
Gemini: I will warn you only once; Get off of this ship right now.
(Cyborg turns and sees a girl with shoulder-length black hair standing behind him. Her blue eyes bear a cold expression. She is built along the same lines as Raven and is garbed in a jacket like her comrades, but more form-fitting. The left side of the jacket's front bears an infinity symbol.)
Cyborg: This your ship? Look, little lady, as far as I know, you haven't done anything wrong yet, so you aren't in any trouble. But if you're with these pirates I have to turn you in.
Gemini: You had your warning…
(The girl reaches into hidden holsters on either side of her boots and pulls out a pair of tonfa.)
Cyborg: Don't try it, lady. You're new around here so you probably don't know, but I'm with the Teen Titans. It takes more than one girl with a pair of batons to bring down Cyborg.
Gemini: More than one? I can handle that…
(She then shuts her eyes… and Cyborg finds himself surrounded by a small army of the same girl, all wielding their own pairs of tonfa.)
Cyborg: Oh boy…
(The girl's doppelgangers move in and strike as one. She does not have much physical strength, but the weapon itself transforms the minimal force into powerful blows, which is then increased by the sheer number of attackers. Cyborg gets a thorough thrashing and is thrown out into the harbor.)
Gemini: Be grateful. You could have caught me in a bad mood.
(Cyborg manages to pull himself out of the water and get to his car. He sets the car for auto-pilot and returns to the tower. Inside, the Titans contemplate their loss.)
Beast Boy: Okay… how did we just get our butts kicked by a bunch of bank-robbing pirates?
Robin: Who were those guys?
Cyborg: I picked up something while I was on the ship. Maybe this can help…
(Cyborg links up to the Titan computer and the image of the flag appears onscreen.)
Starfire: That is the image that we saw at the banking place.
Cyborg: Now we run a scan and see if this gets us any information…
(There is an electronic whine from the computer, than several profiles appear.)
Robin: Whoa! These guys are world famous; they're wanted in fourteen countries! They're a group of super powered pirates that call themselves "The Fiend's Eye Pirate Crew"…
Raven: (looks up very suddenly) "Fiend's Eye"? You're sure that's what it says?
Robin: Yeah. Is something wrong?
Raven: Maybe not…
Robin: Hmm… Profiles… information that's been gathered on the crew by eyewitnesses and past acquaintances.
(A picture of the giant man appears onscreen)
Robin: Rasputin Dolohov, the "Blind Shotman". Fifteen years old, joined the crew as the Ship's Gunner. He uses some type of sixth sense instead of sight and he's amazingly strong.
(The screen now shows the one in glasses)
Robin: Akira Igaku, also fifteen, known on the crew as Medic. Formerly a ninja, left his clan three years ago to become a pirate. His ability is fast healing, for himself or anyone he chooses…
(The screen flickers to the blond man with the French accent)
Robin: Déjàn Vulet, the youngest crewman at the age of fourteen, known to his partners as Déjà Vu. Former circus performer from Versailles, once called "The Human Chameleon"; he can mimic whoever he can touch. Became a criminal to turn a bigger profit with his powers. Has a tendency to flirt with women frequently…
(The screen shows the covered man)
Robin: This guy's real name hasn't been discovered, and no one's ever seen his true face. He's known only as Photon. Age sixteen, he commands light itself, he can move at unbelievable speeds, and he can fly. Loyal to the captain, indifferent to his other partners.
(The red-haired one with the eye patch.)
Robin: Aidan McQuain, also age sixteen, known as Captain Echo. He's… a former Navy cadet!? He was in an accident at sea seven years ago… it cost him his left eye and he became a pirate soon after. He commands sound waves as a weapon and… whoa.
Cyborg: What? What is it?
Robin: It says that he rarely removes that patch from his eye… and anytime he did in the past…he attacked people…and there were almost no survivors…
Beast Boy: Almost?
Robin: Only three are left alive today… and they were all driven out of their minds after the attacks… So whatever he hides under that patch… it's dangerous.
(Raven turns away and continues to look troubled)
Cyborg: Wait. What about that girl? The one on the ship?
Robin: A girl? Let's see… Here it is. (The black-haired girl appears) Colleen Sentry, age fifteen, known as Gemini. She possesses the ability to multiply things, seemingly without limit. She joined two years ago. Works as the guard for the ship while the others go and steal. No further information on her.
Starfire: Nothing?
Robin: According to this, nobody ever got close enough to that ship to get anything else.
Cyborg: I got something; she doesn't pull her punches! Ow…
(He rubs a painful bump on his head; a souvenir of his encounter with the girl.)
Raven: So… that's it?
Robin: Looks like it. Okay team; now we have a better idea of what we're up against. So… where will they strike next?
(Meanwhile, back onboard the ship…)
Gemini: (scowling) How's that for a job well done? And Photon thought I would fail just because I've had some control problems in the past. Then again, he doesn't trust anything I do…
(There is suddenly a shout from the gangplank)
Echo: Ahoy there, Miss Gemini! We're comin' aboard!
(Gemini's icy expression immediately melts and she blushes slightly)
Gemini: W-welcome back Captain…
Echo: (grinning) Any visitors while we were away?
Gemini: Huh? Oh… yeah, there was one guy, but I took care of him…
Photon: And how many times did you screw it up before you did?
Medic: Back off, Photon! Honestly, Gemini always does a good job; why you are constantly picking on the poor girl I cannot begin to imagine…
Photon: Hmph!
Echo: Now knock it off, all of ye! We've beaten the enemy and had a successful raid. Tonight we feast! Mister Déjà, start up the pot!
Déjà: Aye-aye, mon Capitan!
Echo: And be sure ta make Miss Gemini's favorite; she deserves somethin' nice fer fulfillin her duty so well, isn't that right, Miss Gemini? (smiles brightly)
Gemini: Um…er… right…! (Upon being smiled at, her entire face turned scarlet)
Echo: Miss Gemini, why so red? Are ye comin down with the scurvy? Avast there, Mister Déjà; add some more fruit to tonight's menu! Come, Miss Gemini, let's head down to the galley!
Gemini: A-aye, Cap'n…
(Gemini walks past Echo, embarrassed heat radiating from her face. The Captain starts to follow, then turns around suddenly)
Echo: Who's there?
(Nothing can be seen behind Echo. He shrugs and walks into the housed section of the ship. Hidden behind the mast, a shadowy figure smiles as he holds up a mirror containing a reflection of Echo's face…)
