So, this is a new story I've been thinking about working on right now. Seems a little cheeky that I do something like that when I have three more stories to work on, and a lot of stuff on my plate in real life. But considering what I watched and the idea that came to my head, I think I would do this as a full focus on certain occasions. Now I will still be working on other stories, yes, but it does depend on my schedule and how this little story fares.

Let me explain something. This is going to be a Teen Titans story. And before you all say it, no this won't focus on LM in any way. This is a different Teen Titans story. So different that I will do the entire seires with a bit of a difference. And it will also be a crossover story as well, so it will make things really interesting. Now what's this crossover you might ask. Well it's from a certain anime you might not heard of, or have but never got around to it. Land of the Lustrous.

For those of you who are wondering what Land of the Lustrous is about, it is a CG anime what takes place in what is a post apocalyptic world where humanity is wiped out and a small group of Gems now occupy the last of the land. These Gems are pretty much living genderless beings that live forever and won't die. Also, they refer to themselves as 'they', 'them', and 'their' because there bodies contain a lot of microscopic organisms that keep them alive and contains all their memories. Don't question it. Under the watchful eyes of their master, or sensei, Kongo. They protect their land from the Lunarians, moon like beings who live on the six moons. Yes, I say six moons because there's a story behind it. I'll give you the brief details of that said story when the first chapter takes place. The main focus of this show is centered around Phosphophyllite, or Phos for short, a young gem who wishes to fight. Now I don't want to explain about the details of this show as you need to watch.

All I'm saying is that this show is really superb. To see it done in CG, which is a saving grace from all the bad CG anime (Beserk 2016), it has quite a beauty behind it. The actual show is available on High Dive or Amazon Prime if you wish to see it for yourself. Though I got to warn you, at 10 episodes, there wasn't much of a conclusion. It just sort of ends. Ultimately, the best bet is to read the Mangas to see how it progress. But I got to warn ya, the Manga does get dark, to a scary degree.

Now the reason why I mention all of this is because this is what my story is going to be, a crossover of Teen Titans and Land of the Lustrous. This is actually a retelling of the original Titan series but with Phos added to the mix. Yep. I'm going there. The idea came from me when reading 'The Titan of Rapture' by 'A Mountain Sage'. Seriously, go check his story out, it is really brilliant. Now this will have certain episodes that would involve Phos in a way. I won't be doing all the episodes as that will take too much and won't fit her character. I will explain which episodes in future chapters, but if you have any episodes I would have Phos get involved with, let me know in the review.

Now here is the synopsis for this story.

After a Lunarian cast a spell that opened a portal, Phos and Cinnabar get thrust into a new world. Separated, it's up to Phos to find their friend and get back home, with the help of some new and special friends.

Chapter Notes

This first chapter, or episode 0 as it would take part in the original series, takes place in the final episode of Land of the Lustrous, 'New Work'. Now I do want to mention that you should watch the whole show first before moving on to this story. As there will be a lot of spoilers from the show that will confuse pretty much everyone. Course I need to alternate a couple of scenes just to make it interesting to read. This will also start Phos's journey in the Titan world, so stay tune to see where this would go.

Chapter Notes: I don't own Teen Titans of Land of the Lustrous

Enjoy!

Teen Titans: Phophophyllite Chronicles

Episode 0: Phos and Cinnabar

In a long crescent island in the middle of a vast and endless ocean, the sun was slowly setting over what appears to be a small dome like building made of quartz stone. Night is about to befallen that small island where unique beings were going to settle in for the night. One, however, decided to go out to get some fresh air after a long activity they had. Walking down the cliff edge is a mysterious human with a curvy figure and rounded rear, wearing what appears to be a tailored like suit and tie with incredibly shot shorts that go up near its crotch. But this one is different as it has short mint green hair that shines and sparkle with the reflection dancing on her shoulders and arms that are made of some kind of golden alloy. Even their shoes have the same gold on their stiletto heels. This individual goes by the name of Phosphophyllite, or Phos for short. This person wasn't much of a human, but rather a Gem.

Gems are living inanimate beings who live on this island for a long time and could only fight against the Lunarians, moon like creatures who's sole purpose is to capture them and make jewelry decorations out of them. Though female in stature, they are completely genderless with no breasts or privates to speak of and only refer to each other as they, them, or their considering that a large number of organisms lay dormant in their gem like bodies, hence the reason why they are alive. With a hardness scale from 1 – 10, hey have huge life spans that leave them completely immortal and rely on the suns rays to keep them energized.

The history of these gems and their world state that six shooting stars visit this planet and destroyed all life, giving birth to six moons. When the sixth moon hit, what's left of humanity fled to the sea or to the offshore. Among the prospering life forms, those who were too late to flee sunk to the bottom of the ocean, where they were consumed by microorganisms. Transformed into inorganic substances, and over vast stretches of time, they were systematically arranged, forming gemstones. When they arise once again to the shores, they became Gems. Currently, there are almost thirty gems living on the island, all under the watchful eye of Kongo, their master, teacher, and father figure. Each of whom are giving a task while out in the field, they work in pairs to defend their land against the Lunarian threat.

Phos is no exception, being the youngest of the group, of up to 300 years, they are the weakest of them with a hardness of 3 and is extremely brittle if they fall. Once they were just a clumsy and lazy gem that only wishes to fight. Yet despite their best efforts, Kongo refuse to let them fight considering their condition. Which is why he offered them a simple task of recording an encyclopedia, to which they completely refused. But when things started to change, so did they. First Phos, gained an ability to talk to creatures when they were consumed by Ventricosus, a snail like sea creature the Lunarians sent to attack. Then they lost their legs when the prince of the Admirabilis lured them to a trap in exchange for his brother. In the end, they were saved by the very creature they trusted and was given new legs made from Aculeatus' agate spines that gave them super speed. When winter came and the Gems hyphenate, Phos lost their arms from the ice floes. So they and Antarcticite, the gem who is in charge of winter, journey to the Beach of Beginnings to grant them gold and platinum alloy, to which Phos was nearly consumed by. When they saw Antarcticite attacked and taken by the Lunarians, it awakened Phos and can control their new arms, trying to rescue the winter gem, only to fail. Now with their new arms in their possession, they are stronger and can fight against the moon people.

But gaining these new appendages comes with a price. See, the microorganisms that are within every gem's bodies also contains memories of their past since they were born. Any piece of them they loose, they loose a part of those memories. In Phos's case, they lost recent memories of their time at sea with Venticosus, and certain long-term pieces of her past. What made thing's worse is that they lost their promise to Cinnabar, a gem who is in charge of night patrol and is cursed with a silver poison that can kill anything it touches. Giving that Cinn's job is the most boring of them all and that they wished for the Lunarians to some and take them away, they promised that they can help find a fun job for the red gem. But when they lost their arms, that promise was lost as well. They did try to keep it a secret and pretend that they are still trying to find a job. But unfortunately, it will be a matter of time before Cinnabar finds out about it.

But lately, they are being conflicted. When a huge Lunarian beast came to the land, it appeared that Kongo Sensei managed to tame it, but gave the name Shiro to it. This lead to Phos questioning their loyalty to their master. What made things more shocking was the fact all the Gems know something is up, but they kept it to themselves. So in order to uncover the answers, Phos decided to make one of the most logical decisions, talking to a Lunarian. And that's where they were, walking around the cliff's edge, contemplating what to do.

Sure it seems simple to speak to a Lunarian to get an answer, but to understand them is a whole different story. They try to speak to Padpaadscha, a gem who was born with holes in their body about how to talk to Lunarians so they could get an answer about Sensei. But Padpa warns young Phos that she wouldn't like the answer they are seeking before passing out in unconsciousness. But that didn't stop them as they turned to the Lunarian researcher, Alexandrite, to help them in achieving this goal. But all that got out of them are hours long trivia questions with the light blue hair gem that lasted all throughout the night. So that was a waste of effort. So now they wander about the land, looking for another way in speaking to a Lunarian. However the last thing they remembered after visiting Alex is what they said to them.

Alexandrite: "Not so long before you were born, they stole Chrysoberyl away from me. That's why I spend every day thinking about the Lunarians. So that I never forget that fresh feeling of hatred I have for them."

Phos stopped and thought of that one word that Alexandrite said. The fresh feeling of hatred. The same type of feeling they had when they lost Antarcticite from the Lunarians. It still haunts them to this very day and would see that winter gem in their dreams every time they fall asleep.

Phos: "Fresh, huh…? If they had seen what I had gone through, then maybe they would understand I share their hatred to the Lunarians."

By the time they was thinking of that, they looked to the setting sky and notice something they never thought would happen. Up in the air, a strange black spot appeared and expanded into five lines with two from the sides, two diagonally, and one pointing up. That is a sunspot, a strong indication of a Lunarian appearance. That spot slowly grew and grew until the shapes were that of an inkblot. That's when they saw them… Lunarians… They float up in a black cloud that carries a small group of them through the sunspot. That group comprised of archers with their bows and arrows at the ready while the few were playing music, tossing pedals, and waving flags. In the middle is what appears to be a goddess of Buddhism holding a huge bowl with a light shining bright over her.

No doubt this is the chance they have to speak to them and uncover the secrets of Kongo. Without immediate hesitation, they ran right to the Lunarian cloud and was about to face them. The group at the front saw the mint haired gem approaching them and pulled their arrows back to strike first. Phos could see it and was going for their sword to block those arrows. But by the time they reached for it, they didn't feel anything and looked to their side to see that they don't have their sword with them. In a panic, they stopped and nearly fell, realizing their mistake.

Phos: "I forgot my sword!"

Immediately, the Lunarians fired their arrows at Phos, hoping to break them. They though decided to take to the defensive and jumped up to avoid the first row of arrows. They soon brought their golden arms down and they liquefy, creating a quick shield to deflect the next rows of arrows. Landing back down on the ground, one of their golden heels on their black shows melted and shot them up in the air, reaching the height of the cloud. Once they reached it, they did a somersault and stretched their arms to grab hold of the base of the cloud, coming back down in quick succession. On one knee, Phos looked up to see the Lunarians up close, with their arrows ready to fire. They soon grab the closest archer by the neck and brought her back to them while the others started to fire. They quickly surrounded both of them in a golden liquid dome, deflecting all the arrows that were being fired. Inside the dome, Phos was chocking the life out of the Lunarian, demanding to talk with her.

Phos: "Do you… Do you understand these words I am speaking?"

But they didn't hear anything from their prisoner and decided to strengthen the choke.

Phos: "Answer me!"

Almost immediately, Phos saw something that was un-expecting. The Lunarian's eyes were rolled forward, revealing pupils of some kind, as she started to make some kind of sound.

"F…"

That got their attention as they didn't know what that meant."

Phos: "F…? What do you mean-"

But before they could get an answer, something rocked them and the golden sphere was knocked off the cloud. Phos and the Lunarian fell as the sphere opened to a red gem that rocketed themselves up to attack. Phos could see this gem and knew who they were.

Phos: "Cinnabar!"

The red gem, by the name of Cinnabar, wave their hands forward in the air as a huge blanket of sliver was over the Lunarian cloud. The group watched on in horror and didn't have the time to react to it, as they were swarmed by the poison, including the main goddess. What none of them didn't know was one of those Lunarians jumped off the cloud and fell before any of that substance would hit her. Meanwhile, the golden alloy plummeted to the ground and crashed in a loud thud. Phos and the Lunarian they got survived the fall, but their agate legs cracked a little from the crash. The mint colored gem grasped onto the Lunarian's neck, trying to get an answer from her.

Phos: "You have to start talking! Sensei Kongo is related to your kind! What is he? Why is there a connection between him and you? Tell me!"

They still couldn't get an answer as the Lunarian's face was showing fear with her eyes starring right at them. Phos knew they were close to getting the answer and was squeezing hard just to get one. But looking behind the Lunarian, they saw Cinnabar landing on the ground and rushing to their position. Realizing what they were going to do, the green mint gem tried to stop them.

Phos: "Cinnabar, wai-!"

But it was too late as the red colored gem created a wave of silver liquid and waved their arms forward, causing the liquid to launch itself to its intended target. That said target is the Lunarian as the poison knocked the moon creatures head off cleanly and before the rest of the body dispersed. Phos realized that they have failed in getting what they want and laid on their golden puddle in defeat.

Cinnabar: "You again! Out here without even a sword.

Phos struggled up after hearing that gem's rant, not realizing what they were really up to. So many responses coming through their head, some of which involved anger or upset. But they knew that the red gem was simply doing their job and went the neutral route.

Phos: "Thanks. You really saved me."

Cinnabar was silent and didn't respond to their comrade; rather they walked away and returned to the cave to get some rest before their night patrol starts. Phos starred at them as the pieces of silver floated around them. But they soon lay back down and were now getting upset about what happened.

Phos: "Damn it… I was so close…"

What the two of them didn't know was that they missed just one. Down on the cliff side, the surviving Lunarian was holding onto the jagged edges and was holding on. Slowly climbing up, she peeked her head up and noticed the two gems that were going their separate ways. Judging by what she heard of the two, they are the most powerful gems by far. The Lunarians wouldn't stand a chance if the prince's long-term plan comes to fruition. Her mission was clear, she must get rid of them both. And she knows just what to do.

Night has already fallen, as all the gems were present and accounted for, half of them are already asleep, the other half wrapping up on their assignments. In the medical wing of the school, a gem with brown and yellow colored hair with a cow lick diagonally down and a small strand down one side of the shoulder was busy brushing powder on Phos's agate legs. They have a lab coat of some kind on with long pants that goes all the way down to their shoes. That gem's name is Rutile as they are the school's medic when it comes to patching gems and covering the cracks. They look to the damage and were surprised that the legs would hold up.

Rutile: "Impressive… I never imagined these legs of yours wouldn't break after quite a fall. Then again, when the hardness of the agate was a 7 and I have to dim it down to your level, I still didn't think they would walk after that fall. Though I suppose the gold alloy managed to cushion the blow as well. You were really lucky."

Phos didn't say anything as they were looking down in deep space. Rutile looked up and noticed the quite reaction, trying to break the mood.

Rutile: "Phos, it was foolish of you to go out into battle without your sword. You're lucky you had that golden alloy with you otherwise you would've been taken to the moon by now. Not to mention that Cinnabar was there when they heard that noise of them arriving. You really need to be more cautious this time. Exactly what were you thinking risking your life against an opposing threat?"

The green-minted gem turned away and was silent from the whole incident, but managed to state one simple thing.

Phos: "Cinnabar saved me again…"

Rutile sighed and kept powdering the cracks on Phos's legs.

Rutile: "Yes, they did. This is I believe the fourth time they saved you, was it? Seems like the two of you are eternally bonded. Almost like you are destined to be together."

Phos heard that and wasn't in the mood to talk about that.

Phos: "Indeed… We do share something… But they rescued me, yet I never rescued them back in return. Even with these arms, I'm always the one who needs saving. Cinnabar is really something…"

They lifted their arm up to show their hand, where it melted and shifted around, forming a small figure of Cinnabar. Rutile nodded and could imagine what they're doing through.

Rutile: "Quite. As I said before, Cinnabar is bright and skilled, yet their silver poison kills anything they come to contact. Such a cruel curse to be giving since birth. But you can relate. With those gold alloy arms you possess and the low hardness level, you're just as cursed as them. I sure the two of you would've made a great team. Sadly, sensei can't do anything to make it official, since Cinnabar is in charge of night patrol and Lunarians never show up during the night. If only there was new work for them, then they might be happier that way."

Phos heard this and immediately perked up and remembered something, at least vaguely remember when she lost some of her memories.

Phos: "New… work?"

Rutile overheard it and looked up while finishing up Phos's legs.

Rutile: "Huh…? Did you say something?"

That's when Phos jumped off the slab and found out what work Cinnabar should be really doing.

Phos: "That's it!"

They soon left the doctor's side and hurried out of the medical wing. Rutile saw them leaving and asked where they are going.

Rutile: "Phos, where exactly are you going?"

Phos, without looking, answered back.

Phos: "To find Cinnabar! I think I have a job for them!"

Rutile heard that and decided to warn her of the outside.

Rutile: "Be careful in going out at night. Lunarians never show, but it's too dark for you to see."

Phos: "Kay!"

The moment they were gone, the doctor groaned and knew they were still the troublemaker, even after getting those arms and that new attitude.

Rutile: "Geeze… Sensei isn't going to like this."

It's already late night and all of the gems are sleeping it all away. All except one. Phos was walking down the end of the cliff side searching for Cinnabar. They knew that the red gem only comes out when everyone is asleep and goes out on patrols all the way to the early morning. They even knew where Cinn resides in. Walking up to the spot, they waited until the gem comes up for their usual patrols. Looking up to the closest of six moons, they knew the gem would be getting here soon.

Phos: "Let's see… If I am correct, then Cinnabar would be coming up the spot about now."

Looking at the edge, they waited until they arrived. It was then that they saw pieces of liquid silver floating about before a hand with red nails appeared to grab the edge. Phos knew it was them, as Cinnabar climbed up the cliff to begin their patrol. By the time they looked up, they could see the green minted gem standing there, waiting for them. There was a silence in the air as the two starred at each other. But before Phos could say something to them, Cinn immediately bolted, going past them and running away. Phos was caught by surprise and looked back to see them making a mad dash, and decided to go after them.

Phos: "Wait! Cinnabar!"

They soon used her arms to form a lasso and a net to try and catch them, telling them to stop.

Phos: "Why are you running away?"

Cinnabar didn't turn back as she was answering them while running.

Cinnabar: "Because of the terrible sense of foreboding I get from you!"

Phos: "Wh-who, me?"

Cinnabar: "You're trying to capture me, I know it!"

Phos: "Who, me?!"

The two kept on running with Phos giving chase, trying to used her arms to get a hold of them. They ran so fast, that they didn't notice something was watching them. They soon ran past a slightly forested area with trees thick enough to get lost in. But then, someone peeked to see them running. That someone is a Lunarian as she was keeping herself well hidden. Noticing the two alone, she decided to follow them and ran to them, keeping her distance from them.

For a short time, Cinnabar kept running away from Phos while the gem chased them. The red gem soon stopped as they were at a high pointed cliff. Turning back, they could see the mint colored gem standing there, already with their arms completely normal, slowly approaching them. Feeling annoyed, they backed up and demanded what this gem wants.

Cinnabar: "What do you want from me? I'm getting tired of you popping in every time I'm around and I don't want you causing trouble around me."

They were getting closer to the edge and almost felt like they would fall. Phos soon stopped and told them the good news.

Phos: "I've found it. I've found something. A job for you. Or more aptly, a job that I can only do with your help. I want your help."

There was a stun silence as Cinnabar was loss for words. What the two didn't know was that something was moving through the long grass and was close to their position. That something was the Lunarian as she saw the two standing on the edge of that pointy cliff. That will be a good enough spot to be rid of those two. Looking down to the ground, she took out a long stick of some kind and started jutting down something on the dirt. At the same time, she began to chant silently in her native language as what she was drawing slowly started to glow. Yet the two didn't see her as Cinn was shocked of this news of a new job Phos wanted them to do. When Cinnabar heard it, they remembered the promised Phos made and asked her about it.

Cinnabar: "What happened to 'better'?"

That question caught the gem in a loop and didn't know what they meant

Phos: "Huh?"

Cinnabar: "What about the 'better' part?"

Still, a stun silence as Phos didn't know what she was referring to. So the red gem asked again, this time in a demanding voice with the silver bits getting more aggressive.

Cinnabar: "You didn't say this job is any better."

They soon calmed down and repeated what Phos promised after revealing that they want to go to the moon.

Cinnabar: "I'm going to find something better than the night watch that only you can do… Those were your words, weren't they?"

Phos heard that and realized what they were talking about. That promise they gave to Cinnabar, they were suppose to find a job far suited for them than going out on night patrol. However, ever since loosing their arms in the winter, that promise was forgotten just like everything else. Shaking from the thought of it, they try to regain composure and talk themselves out of it.

Phos: "Th-this probably won't be much better. Not at all. It's absolutely zero percent fun. I'm sorry… The job I want you to help me with would be uncovering the truth about Sensei and the Lunarians."

That caused the red gem to snap and didn't like that job.

Cinnabar: "What's better about that?!"

Phos looked on and could tell that they weren't happy about it, but tries to reason with them.

Phos: "Right? You asked me what I planned on doing…"

They soon looked at their golden arms to see the hands liquefying and melting, continuing with their explanation.

Phos: "First off, I tried getting to the truth of it all. The more I questioned it though, the more everything Sensei did seemed off… So much so that I can't even tell if I'm looking at anything the right way anymore. I want you to be there with me, to always offer your opinion. That's what I'm offering to-"

Cinnabar: "Stop lying…"

That snapped Phos out and looked up, seeing the red gem looking downright serious.

Phos: "Wha-"

Cinnabar: "Stop lying to me. I saw the look on your face. When I mention that the job you would offer to me would be better than what I'm currently doing, you were silent and didn't say a word. I'm not born today; I know why you didn't respond to me when I said it. The reason why you didn't say that this new job is better than mine is because you lost part of those memories, is it?"

The green mint gem blinked and could see that Cinnabar is starting to put the pieces together.

Cinnabar: "Ah yes, I can see it. Those new arms you have made you stronger, but they came with a price. The old arms you once have contained the memories of your promise to me, that you would find me a job better than mine. Now that you lost it, you forget that promise and giving me excuses and avoiding it. That's the reason why you didn't say this job is better is it?"

Phos remained quiet while Cinnabar demanded an answer with the silver blobs around them starting to look threatening.

Cinnabar: "Say it!"

Phos turned their head away and remained really quiet about the whole thing. They never expect them to figure out the whole thing and they were in a bit of a slump. Giving a sigh, the green-minted gem looked back and decided to let it all out.

Phos: "Yes, it's true. When I lost my arms by the ice floes during winter, memories of you and your promise were lost as well. It took me a while to recollect myself and I had to lie my way in making sure you don't realize what happened. I'm sorry if I had to keep that from you. But regardless, I have made that promise of giving you a job. And while it isn't what you wanted, it is indeed better then being stuck doing night patrol."

Cinnabar heard them and had a scowl on their face, now knowing that it was all a lie from them. Still, this job they offered is questionable at best. So they asked about the consequences of that said job.

Cinnabar: "And then what? If it turns out Sensei has done the unforgivable, what do you plan on doing then? If you can't even think past that point, then I'm afraid I would decline your offer. And if you even do know how, I still won't do it considering you admit the truth to me."

Phos lowered their head sulkily and could tell that it didn't get them anywhere. All that time in finding a job, the sacrifices they have to make, and it was all-pointless. Blinking up to the red gem, they knew when enough is enough.

Phos: "I knew it… I knew you were both extraordinary prudent and clever. And that's exactly why… I need you with me. I'll come by again."

They turn around and were going to make their way back to the school. But as they were leaving, they noticed something glowing up on the high grass. Cinnabar noticed it to and asked what it was.

Cinnabar: "What is that?"

The mint gem got serious and decided to investigate.

Phos: "I don't know, but it can't be good. I'll go investigate."

They soon walked down the Cliffside and wanted to get a closer look at that light. But as they were mid-way through, they stopped and notice what appears to be the top of a familiar head that was working on something. Seeing the strange looking headpiece and the blank eyes, they know what it was.

Phos: "Lunarian!"

They soon immediately went to a made dash and made their way to the enemy. The Lunarian heard that and peeked up to see one of the gems approaching her. Quickly, she finished writing something completing the incantation. At the same time, Phos stopped and waved their arm in front of their face, letting it extend and sharpen into a blade to do some quick work. In a blink of an eye, the Lunarian was beheaded and instantly evaporated in a plump of smoke. Phos soon retracted their arm back and gave a sigh.

Phos: "Geeze… How did that one got here? Maybe jumped off that cloud when Cinnabar came…? What was that thing doing anyways? Didn't attack us when we were both up there."

They soon noticed the spot the Lunarian was still glowing and was getting curious. Slowly approaching it, they parted the long grass and checked what's emanating the glow. That's when they saw what looks like a strange symbol with a small circle in the center, eight long lines all connected in the middle, and strangely bizarre symbols on the ends, each of whom different from the other. There was also some strange looking writing that they have never seen before as it looked to be the language of the Lunarians. Phos blinked for a bit and was getting awfully curious about it.

Phos: "Odd… What is this?"

They soon outreach their golden hand to feel what it was. But before they could actually touch it, the symbols and the scriptures glowed brighter until it exploded in a blast of white light, causing the gem to be pushed back and landing on their curvy bum. They didn't feel much of a crack, as they didn't expect a blast like that. Cinnabar looked to them and decided to go check on them.

Cinnabar: "Phos!"

But they stopped them as they told them that they're all right.

Phos: "I'm fine. Don't bother."

Cinnabar stopped and was worried about that gem, not realizing a black hole was slowly appearing behind them and slowly expanding. Phos brushed it off and didn't think that would happen.

Phos: "That was unexpected. Was that some kind of trap set up by the Lunarians? If it was, that thing didn't do a good job on it. And to think I was going to get blasted to pieces."

Before they could recheck that symbol, hoping that it didn't blow up again, they could hear Cinnabar's voice from the distance.

Cinnabar: "Phos!"

Phos groaned and wondered what that red gem want.

Phos: "Yeah? What is to you-"

They turn to see what they want and stopped mid-sentence, starring eye wide. Behind Cinn looked like a black vortex of some kind with lighting coming out of it, but it appears to be sucking everything that's in its path. That includes Cinnabar as they were trying gain footing. But with nothing to hold on, their feet lifted off the ground and they were flying right towards the hole. Phos could see it all go down and has to do something.

Phos: "Cinnabar! No!"

They soon got up and ran right to the vortex, not wanting them to get sucked in. With not enough time, they outreached their arm and it stretched long enough to get a hold of the red gem. The gold alloy wrapped around the wrist of Cinnabar's left arm and was successful at it. But that soon led the gem to be lifted up their feet as well and flew with Cinn into the vortex. With the situation getting grave, they turned to the cliff side and stretched their other arm, letting the alloy wrap around the end and held on tight. The two were soon in a limbo in the air as the vortex kept on sucking them. Phos looked back to Cinnabar and told them to hold on.

Phos: "Hang on! I'll try to reel you in!"

They slowly pulled their arm back and dragged the red gem in the air, using all their strength to pull them in. But the vortex is too strong and was tugging the red gem back. Cinn could see the situation and notice that their left arm was cracking from the pressure considering they have a hardness of 2, far lower then Phos's 3 ½. Seeing this, they warn Phos of the situation.

Cinnabar: "My arm is cracking! I don't know how long it will break. You need to let go of me!"

Phos heard them and didn't want to take a no for an answer.

Phos: "I can't! I lost Antarcticite, I don't want to loose you!"

Cinnabar: "Just leave me and save yourself! If this is the Lunarians new way in taking me to the moon, then I'll accept it."

Phos: "There's no way I will abandon you! I still have this promise for you and I'm willing to keep it."

Phos kept on holding on with one arm attached to Cinnabar's arm and the other wrapping around the pointy cliff. That said cliff looked like it was starting to crack and break, Phos looked to this and had to reel them in fast before it breaks. Slowly, they draw into the cliff closer and closer, almost reaching the ground. But the more time they were in the air, the more cracks that are coming from Cinn's arm. But the green mint haired gem didn't realize it as they were nearing the ground.

Phos: "Hang on! We're almost there! Just a little more…"

They were just about to reach it with the part of the cliff on the verge of breaking, but when they turned around to assure their red gem that everything is going to be all right, Cinnabar's left arm was immediately snapped off by the upper bicep and shows the glittery gem rocks underneath. Time slowed as Phos starred on in silence while Cinnabar had the look of fear and flew right into the vortex. What felt like an eternity, Cinn disappeared right into the black hole and was nowhere to be found. The moment they vanished, Phos was extremely horrified and yelled out their name in pure terror.

Phos: "CINNABAR!"

Just as they said it, the cliff part broke off on her end and she was flying right up to the vortex itself. The gem was caught by surprise and they looked back at the home they lived in. She sees the lush green lands, the unlimited miles of ocean, even the school they lived in, they never thought a view like that would be frightening. As they watched on, her sight grew darker and they too disappeared into the same vortex their friend had before. The moment they both went in, the vortex sealed itself shut and the sky was completely clear again. But on the ground, the land was quiet as the cliff was cut in half and showed evidence of what the Lunarian did was still present as the markings and writings were still imbedded into the Earth, making it impossible to see. Where the Lunarian took the two is unknown, but it will lead to an adventure one of them will never forget.

That will do it for episode zero of this reformatted series with the Teen Titans. Now I had to make a few changes here and there, but I think it shoes more depth then what the final episode presents itself. And as far as the other gems are concerned, don't worry; you will get to see them in the story. But that will be for a while. Stay tune for that. Instead, the next chapter will be Phos arriving in the Titans world, where the team was created. Expect her to get involved on this next chapter of the Phosphophylitte Chronicles.
