Chapter 1: The Chase
"I told you we're not getting pepperoni!"
As always, Beastboy and Cyborg were arguing about the pizza toppings. The dispute was brought to an abrupt end as a young man in a trenchcoat pushed Beastboy to the ground and walked into the pizza place.
"Dude what's your…" The changeling's yelling trailed off as the man pulled a submachine gun from under his coat and turned it on the restaurant's customers. Without another word, he tossed his gun aside, lifted a chair and heaved it through a nearby window, following it into the street.
"Titans, go!" yelled Robin, and the chase began. After almost an hour of chasing the killer through the streets of Jump City, he ran down an alley and descended a manhole. By the time they followed him down, he had vanished into one of the tunnels.
Raven looked around. "Five tunnels, might be a trap." "So what?" said Cyborg. "He lost his gun, remember? Any one of us could take him." Robin thought for a moment. "Cyborg's right. Everyone, pick a tunnel. We've got a psycho to catch."
Starfire had been looking for only a few minutes when she found something. Robin was on the ground, lying wounded in a pool of blood. "Robin!" she cried. "Friends, Robin is hurt!" she screamed over the communicator. Her eyes widened in fear as a voice came over the communicator. "Um, Star? Robin here. I'm fine." The Robin on the floor rapidly began to change, taking the form of the killer from the restaurant. Before Star could react, he let a roar which sent her careening into a wall. The girl slumped to the ground, ears bleeding. Picking up the communicator, a grin slipped across the man's face. "One down. Who wants to be next?"
The killer was lurking in a corner, sword drawn, watching for Robin to pass. Suddenly, he felt a terrible pain in his arm and the blade clattered to the floor. "Gotcha." He turned slowly to see Robin standing there, quarterstaff in hand. "What did you do to Starfire!" Yelled Robin, bringing the staff back for another strike. The killer whipped his right arm downwards and a wrist blade shot out of his sleeve. Robin flipped backwards to avoid the madman's lunge, flinging a birdarang at his arm. Te blade fell to the floor, its tethers broken. Within seconds the man was leaning against the wall, battered and bruised. "I said what did you do to Starfire!" Yelled Robin, face flushed with anger. "I didn't want to resort to this, kid. But you leave me no choice." As the man spoke, a strange glow came up around him. An instant later, Robin lay motionless on the ground. "Two down."
Cyborg was really starting to freak out. First Star, then Robin. It didn't help his nerves when something dropped onto his shoulder. "Jesus, Beast, don't do that!" But it wasn't Beastboy. Some Weird, impish little creature had chosen him as its perch. "Oh, hio." Said the imp. "I am Blink. Could you keep this jar for me ?" Blink handed Cy a jar and vanished in a cloud of smoke. "What the hell was that?" muttered Cy as he opened the jar. There was a small flash, a quick jolt, and everything went black. "Three down." Came the voice over the communicator.
Raven and Beastboy were back where they all had started. "Looks like we're the last ones." Said Beastboy, staring nervously down the tunnels. "I warned you all it was a trap" said Raven. "We'd better had back."
"NO!" screamed Beastboy. "I'm not leaving until I find them!" Beastboy suddenly fell silent. Terra was standing in one of the tunnels. "Terra! It's you!" Raven turned to look at the former Titan. Something was wrong, she just couldn't put her finger on it. Beastboy was running to hug Terra. Then Raven realized: Terra didn't have that scar on her eye.
"Beast, stop! That's not Terra!" Terra began to change, turning into the killer they were hunting. "Hold still." He reached out and squeezed Beast's shoulder, and the changeling fell over. "Just you and me now, kid." The killer was smiling. A large lump appeared under Raven's hood. She felt a pain in the back of her neck, then she went rigid and felt no more.
