It was an average everyday afternoon at Titan Tower. Cyborg and Beastboy were engaged in a fierce competition of video

games. Robin was busy watching T.V. with Starfire, and Raven was meditating, despite the distraction Beastboy and Cyborg were

providing from there bickering.

Suddenly there was a flash and a thunderous boom. The power slowly went out, leaving everything in the dark.

" Aww dude, I was just about to cream Cyborg too!" Beastboy whined like a child.

" What are you talking about, I had atleast 300 more points to my score than you man!" Cyborg protested.

" Guys, I think we should be more concerned with finding a light source at this point..." Robin said, " Oh yeah!" He

pulled a flashlight out of his utility belt. " Here we g-" but as soon as he clicked it on, it sparked and went out.

" I sense something wrong in the city..." Raven said, " This storm is not normal..."

Almost immediately, the telephone rang, and the police were on the phone requesting the help of the Titans.

" Come on Titans, let's go!" and they were off.

" GRAAAH!" Lightning screeched, as a barrage of lightning bolts flew from his hands and through the city's power lines.

A series of telephone poles exploded into large showers of sparks, igniting a few fires in the surrounding area. Lightning

blankly smirked at his destructive work, his eyes glowing red with evil.

" HERRAAAH!" Thunder shouted, as a massive sonic blast sounded across Gotham City, leveling a few small buildings and

overturning many cars. He laughed maniacly at the screaming citizens running in all directions.

" We are following the master's requests quite well, brother. Come now, let us destroy and hurt more of these pathetic

beings called humans!" Lightning laughed.

" Yes, brother! We shall carry out the master's order and destroy all in our path!"

" I thought we taught you two a lesson already, but it obviously didn't get into your thick skulls!" Robin yelled to

them, and they turned their zombie-like attention to the Titans.

" So it is the Teen Titans, coming to stop our master's brilliant plans... We cannot allow this, we shall destroy you

as well!" Lightning threw a storm of lightning bolts at Starfire, who quickly flew out of the way and threw Starbolts as a

retaliation to him. The Starbolt struck him, knocking him to the ground. Beastboy stupidly made the same mistake twice,

turning this time into an anaconda and wrapping himself around Lightning. Lightning only grinned like a moron as he realeased

electric charges through his body, electrocuting Beastboy.

" Take this!" Thunder let off another sonic blast, which the remaining four dodged, and attacked him.

Robin attacked with his stick, Cyborg with his lasers, and Raven with her psychic abilities.

The combined attacks struck both Thunder and Lightning, forcing them both into the brick wall of a building nearby.

" Something is not right with those two. After the last time we met them, I would not suppose such kind beings would

attack us?" Starfire questioned yet explained at the same time.

" I don't think Thunder and Lightning would attack us either, something is definately not right with them." Cyborg

said.

" Common sense could have stated that. Look at their eyes..." Raven pointed out sarcastically.

Sure enough the two of them rose again, their eyes red like the blood the people they had destroyed shed.

" I guess you have got a point there Raven. Now Titans, get ready, I think we're in for a tough fight!" Robin

commanded his team.

" You will pay for that you fools..." Lightning hissed at them.

" We do not wish to fight you, couldn't we solve this in some other way? Perhaps a chat over drinks of that tangy yellow

beverage humans call "Mustard"?" Starfire questioned. Her answer was a massive lightning bolt that just barely missed her

head.

" I suppose we could do it your way this time..." she said sadly, then charged up a Starbolt to throw at him.

Lightning only growled at her as he charged another bolt.

Both realeased their attacks. Starfire felt quite confident that she could overpower his lightning because last time

she had. But this time Lightning quickly overpowered her and sent her sailing. He approached her, ready to fry her to death

at any given moment. He realeased the bolt of electricity, smirking evilly the whole time.

" STARFIRE!" Beastboy turned into a tiger and rammed her out of the way, rolling across the pavement with her wrapped up.

" Beastboy, you have saved me..." Starfire began to thank him but he interrupted.

" No time Starfire, we gotta get outta the way!" he ran with her, now in his "human" form, from one of Lightning's bolts.

Beastboy turned into an electric eel and attacked Lightning with a taste of his own medicine.

" Beastboy no! Don't do that!" Raven tried to warn him but it was too late.

" Why not?" Beastboy questioned.

" Nevermind..."

The electricity hit Lightning, but he just absorbed it, making him stronger.

" That's why dimwit..." Raven said as Lighting cackled maniacly.

" Oh no..."

Meanwhile, Robin and cyborg weren't having that much luck with Thunder. It seemed everytime they had an advantage,

Thunder just knocked them off their feet with a massive sound wave that shook the ground.

" We need a better plan..." Cyborg said.

" I agree, but what?" Robin asked.

" Azarath Metrion ZINTHOS!" Raven shot black rays from her hands that engulfed Thunder.

" Good job Raven! Cyborg, attack now!" Robin jumped up and struck Thunder with his stick and Cyborg attacked with his

laser cannon. Raven then whipped Thunder into the pavement below.

He struck the ground, making a massive crater, followed by a loud boom.



" I think we got him, guys..." Robin spoke up. But as the dust cleared, they could make out the glowing red eyes.

" HEERAGH!" Thunder threw a huge wave of sound at them, knocking Cyborg and Robin over, and even knocking Raven out of

the air. Unfortunately it also knocked Starfire and Beastboy over, as well as Lightning.

" You dare to attack me, brother?!" Lightning snarled at him, crackling with electricity.

" Don't make me destroy you as well brother..." Thunder growled back.

" You will regret you ever called me brother!" Lightning attacked his brother viciously, throwing several super-charged

bolts of electricity at Thunder.

" As will you!" A giant sound wave came from Thunder, heading straight for Lightning.

The two powerful attacks met between them, exploding and blowing both of them in opposite directions.

" We had better think fast, before their fight destroys the entire city!" Starfire cried.

" But what can we do? They seem unstoppable!"

" We'll think of something..."

Both of the brothers got up, glaring each other down. They suddenly charged at each other, Lightning charged with

electricity, Thunder ready to blast his brother.

Then, out of the blue, a large blast of red flames rained down in between the two brothers, causing both of them to come

to an abrupt halt.

" Who dares interrupt our fighting?! Come out now!" Lightning roared.

" The Master has sent me to ensure you two get back on track. You seem to be having trouble following orders, so I am

here to correct you..." Everyone looked up to see a boy clothed in a similar fashion to Thunder and Lightning, except he wore

all red, with orange wristbands, and actually had pants on which were orange as well. His hair was wild, almost like flames.

Taking a closer look, one quickly realised it indeed was flames. He was about the same height as Lightning. His eyes were

glowing blood red like the brother's.

" And who might I ask, are you?" Thunder asked, ready to blast him.

" Forgive me for being so rude. I forgot all about introductions... I am Fire, and I control the ability to manipulate

flames and heat..." he smirked as flames erupted in his hands, " I work for Slade, my all powerful master, and am intent on

helping him dominate complete control over this planet..."

" So Slade is behind this?!" Robin growled.

" I thought he was gone..." Starfire asked, a look of complete worry passing over her expression.

" You were wrong and now he wants control over everything. He will first wipe out all inferiors, and destroy all cities,

starting with this one. Then he can rebuild the planet any way he wants. Now Slade is using the powers of us, the elements,

to destroy, although the three of us are the only ones he has gained control of so far..." Fire jumped off his perch atop the

burning building, and landed in between Lightning and Thunder.

" That's it... Slade is controling them..." Raven added.

" Great, the powers of the elements vs. us! We're doomed..." Beastboy whined.

" No we aren't..."

" Oh yes you are... I suggest if you value your lives, you leave this city. Or you can give in to your eventual fate now,

and burn with it..." Fire snarled with a smirk.

" Guys, I think it is time to leave!" Starfire jumped up and started to fly along with Raven, while Cyborg and Robin

hopped on Beastboy as he transformed into a giant pterodactyl.

As the Titans flew away, full of remorse that there was nothing they could do, they watched Gotham city go up in a shower

of sparks, loud explosions, and massive fireballs...

It was then each of them knew that their greatest battle yet was about to begin...
