After being defeated by Katarou and being mocked by the other Titans, Robin escapes to improve his karate skills with the True Master.

Robin's quest

In an ancient museum, a thief was taking some ancient weapons.

Thief: Excellent! With these weapons, even that Wonder Boy can't defeat me!

Next it's revealed that thief is Katarou, another villain.

Katarou: I'm ready for my revenge on you, kid!

Boy: Not so fast!

A voice came from behind, it was Robin. He was ready to fight against Katarou.

Katarou: So, you decided to come to face me, kiddy?

Robin: (Getting upset) Shut up! You said I'm not a match for you in match hand by hand. Well, let's see if you are strong against my karate skills.

Katarou: That's why I was stealing these ancient weapons in order to get your attention, but I guess I won't need them.

Both went out of the museum and were ready to fight. Robin made a weird karate pose, just like Katarou.

Robin ran and jumped, his kick was attempted to strike Katarou but he dodged very easy. Robin crushed into a wall letting him funny dazed.

Katarou: (Laughing) Ha ha! That was pathetic, you know.

Robin woke up angry. His sight was focused on Katarou and looking for a weak point as if he was a computer.

Robin: Okey, let's try again!

Then Robin and Katarou were fighting hand by hand with karate moves. Both were similar in technics. Robin gave a hit but Katarou stopped it by grabbing his hand.

Katarou: Sorry kid, but if you weren't trained by the True Master, you will never beat me.

Then Katarou threw Robin to the ground. He was attempting to hit him but suddenly the other titans arrived and attacked Katarou with their powerful abilities beating him easily.

Robin got up and saw what happened.

Robin: Guys! What are you doing? This is my fight.

Raven: Robin, why are you mad, we helped you.

Robin: That's not the reason! I was fighting Katarou in a karate duel.

Starfire: (Confused) What is katare?

Robin: (With big words appearing over him) It's KA-RA-TE

Starfire: Oh! So?

Robin: So what? It's one of the famous fighting styles in the world.

Raven: Only for regular people, for heroes it's useless.

Robin: Useless? No matter how, karate is the best weapon what I need.

Beast Boy: Take it easy, we don't mean it's useless, it is lame.

Robin: Ah! Don't say that again!

Cyborg: What? Lame?

Robin: (Angry) Don't say it!

In that moment Katarou woke up and disposed to attack the titans.

Katarou: (Angry) DO NOT IGNORE ME!

Robin: Very well, let me teach you some…

Robin was preparing to fight but the other titans passed over him and attacked Katarou with their powers; Beast Boy turned into a rhino, Cyborg shot a laser from his arm, Starfire attacked with beams and Raven summon a shadow claw. They defeated him again.

Raven: That's an easy way to win.

Beast Boy: As you see Robin, Karate is lame.

Cyborg: (Picking up Katarou) You should try another way to fight.

Katarou: As I know, Robin, you are not worthy for karate style, remember this… YOU LOSE!

Cyborg: Save your words in a cell.

Raven: Let's get back to home, Robin.

The other Titans retrieve with Katarou, leaving Robin upset.

Robin: (Angry) Am I worthy!

Later at night, while the Titans are sleeping, in Robin's room, he was awaken on his bed. He was thinking upset.

Robin: Karate skill is useless?, is lame? I'll show them! I will prove my karate skill is the best. But first I need to improve before deal with Katarou. I have to train with the True Master.

At ceiling, Robin got dressed and used a remote control, his bike appeared and he got on it.

Robin: I hear True Master lives in a so far village at Asia, I will train and get back with a better karate skill! Here I go, Asia!

Then Robin rides his bike but he forgot he was on the ceiling and fell from a great height.

Robin: Ow! That hurts!.

Then he woke up and left at midnight.

Next day at morning, the Titans are having breakfast very happy. Cyborg was making waffles for everybody.

Beast Boy: Wow! Waffles, my delicious!

Starfire: (While was eating waffles) They're delicious!

Cyborg: Thank you, I'm the best in cooking.

Raven: Unless you improved your cooking way on waffles.

Cyborg: Don't make fun of me! My waffles are good, Raven.

Beast Boy: Yeah, no taste comparison.

Starfire: Guys, don't we have forgetting something?

The Titans were thinking but then they continued eating waffles. But suddenly they remembered something.

Starfire: We forgot Robin!

Raven: He didn't wake up yet?

Beast Boy: Maybe he's locked on his room.

Cyborg: Yeah, he must be upset about karate skill, why does he think that is the best fighting style anyway?.

In that moment, they hear the alarm and saw at the monitor. It was Katarou who was in a other museum stealing more ancient weapons.

Beast Boy: It's him! He escaped from the cell?.

Cyborg: We have work to do!

Starfire: Wait! Don't we have to call Robin?

Cyborg: No time, he must been focused on his problem, we can't catch him if Robin doesn't focus on the problem.

Raven: That's we can handle this.

Beast Boy: We defeated once, we can do it again.

Starfire: If you say so.

Cyborg: Well let's move on, Titans.

Meanwhile, Robin was riding until he arrived a cliff watching the village from a long distance. There are some trees and birds on them; they were watching Robin who was walking until the point of the cliff. He seemed worried.

Robin: (Singing) What happened? I lost?

Oh no, oh yes I lost!

How could I lose?

I trusted in mind

I was as a jerk

I lost! How could happen?

My mind was a mess

I was dumped

And that time I exaggerated

I underestimated and that's why I lost

How could I lose!

The birds were watching Robin's song; they were sad and began to cry.

Robin: (To the birds) Thank you.

Then Robin rides his bike and goes to the village.

Meanwhile, the other Titans arrived at the museum; they saw Katarou with a lot of ancient weapons.

Cyborg: So, did you desire to steal again? This time you'll be in prison forever!

Katarou: (Uninterested) Tsk! Where's that boy?

Beast Boy: Huh? Who?

Katarou: Where's Robin! We have some unfinished business!

Cyborg: For what? A karate fight? We beat you yesterday. Besides we have super powers, so karate is useless.

Katarou: (Confident) Wanna try?

Katarou was ready to fight. The Titans prepared to confront him.

Cyborg: Get him!

The Titans attacked him. Beast Boy turned into a rhino again, but Katarou dodge easily and hit on his head with a strong fist leaving Beast Boy unconscious.

Cyborg: What the…?

Then Starfire and Raven attacked him with beams and shadow claws. But Katarou used a rod to protect from their attacks. He used his rod to hit them too.

Cyborg: That's not possible?

Cyborg used his laser to attack but Katarou dodge and use his rod to hit Cyborg's arm until he broke it leaving Cyborg hurt.

Cyborg: How could you beat us? Yesterday…

Katarou: Oh yesterday? Well the reason you beat me was because I lost purposely, on that way I knew your technics and form of battle. Now I know your moves, you became lame for depending only for powers.

Raven: This is not good.

Katarou: Now bring me Robin, he's the one I want to prove my karate skills are betters than his.

Meanwhile, Robin arrived at the village and asked where to find the True Master.

Robin: Let's see, where can be the True Master, maybe in a secret place like…

Then Robin saw a panel which said: "Karate academy, The True Master". Robin was comically confused. He saw a file with three subjects formed. He came close.

Robin: Excuse me? Is this the place of True Master?

He subject turned around and he was a bear with clothes that makes Robin surprised. The others were a snake and a monkey with clothes too.

Bear: What?

Robin: Eh, is this the place of True Master?

Bear: Yeah.

Robin: So… can I…

Bear: Wait your turn!

Snake: We came to see the True Master!

Monkey: Respect the file!

Robin: (A little scared) Okey.

After some hours, Robin keeps waiting his turn until, an old woman got close to him.

Old woman: So you're next?.

Robin: Oh yeah, I came to train with the True Master. Do you know where he is?

Old woman: It's in front of you.

Robin was surprised, but then starts laughing a lot, doesn't' believe her.

Meanwhile, the other Titans were defeated by Katarou, they were piled from each other. Katarou came closer to them.

Katarou: Now tell me where's Robin!

Beast Boy: (Hurted) We don't know where he is, he abandoned us!

Katarou: You wanna try me again?

In that moment, Cyborg took his device control and tried to call Robin. His device was turned on.

Cyborg's voice: Robin, where are you? We need your help!

Katarou's voice: That's enough! If he doesn't appear, I'll begin to quarter you into pieces!

Cyborg's voice: NO, DON'T START WITH ME! ROBIN! WHERE THE HECK ARE…

The communication is over, they didn't know Robin was laughing aloud; his device was on his bike he couldn't hear them.

Robin continued laughing, the old woman gets upset.

Old woman: Young boy, that's not funny!.

Robin: Ha ha! Excuse me… ha ha! But I'm asking… ha ha ha! Where's True… ha! Master is and you… ha ha said he's here!

In that moment the old woman hit him with her rod on his head making him shut up.

Robin: Ouch! Why did you do that?

Old woman: You didn't learn that appearances lie.

Robin: (Confused) So you mean you're…

Old woman: I'm the True Master.

Robin: (With his mouth opened) WHAAAAAT!

True Master: You wanna train? Yes or not?

Robin: Of course! I have to become stronger to defeat that guy.

True Master: That guy?

Robin: Yup! He humiliated me saying I lost against him by karate fight.

True Master: So you refer Katarou.

Robin: Eh? How do you know him?

True Master: That's because he was my first student and was the best after me, but I realized he uses my teachings for evil.

Robin: I was wondering why he was better than me in karate.

True Master: He needs a good lesson for what he has done; I think you could give him that for me.

Robin: So you're gonna train me?

True Master: I have seen you have the courage to learn the secret of karate skills, so that is the reason why I didn't accept anyone in my academy, and I use my other students to convince people to come here to train. So should we begin?

Robin: I'm ready!

True Master: Okey, my students, come here!

Then the Bear, the Snake and the Monkey appeared and surround Robin.

Robin: Eh, so this is how we begin?

True Master: First defeat my students then I train you, attack!.

Bear, Snake and Monkey: Yes, master!

Robin: Oh damn!

Robin prepared to fight them.

Meanwhile; Katarou was over the Titans who are injured by the fight. Cyborg was worse, he was dismantled by parts. His head was on Katarou's hand.

Katarou: You aren't tough without body, right?

Cyborg: I was in worse situation.

Raven: (Angry) I swear if Robin doesn't come to rescue us, I'm going to send him to other dimension.

Starfire: (Worried) Why he's taking too much time to come?

Beast Boy: If we didn't make fun of him about karate, he wouldn't be missing.

Cyborg: And now because our fault, we're gonna die!

Katarou: I just give you 3 hours, if in that time Robin doesn't appear, I destroy you, all of you.

The Titans were with scary faces to hear that.

Meanwhile Robin was fighting versus True Master's students but he was losing each time he fight each one. He was tended on the floor in a funny state.

Robin: I don't understand, how fighting with those animals makes hard to me?

True Master: Hey kid, you didn't see, you have to fight as the same way in each fight.

Robin: Fight as the same way in each fight? What do you mean?

True Master: You have to figure out by yourself.

Bear: You can't beat the bear's strength.

Snake: You can't beat the snake's sight.

Monkey: You can't beat the monkey's agility.

The students defeated Robin again. He was very injured and upset.

Robin: (Upset) How do I know to learn this training!

But suddenly he realized the words of True Master. The students attack again but this time Robin did the same moves of the students and defeated them finally.

True Master: Oh! You figure out the lesson.

Robin felt winner and smiling.

Robin: Okey, now I have learned the training, I'm going to kick Katarou's butt.

In that moment Robin heard his device and saw the message.

Katarou's voice: Robin! If you don't show up, I'm going to destroy your friends!

Robin: My team is in danger, I must go!

True Master: I see you become a true fighter, go to prove your learning.

Robin: Thanks for your training True Master, now I'm leaving.

True Master: Wait! Before that…

Robin: What happen?

True Master: (Opening a cash box) My training has a cost.

Robin: (Confused) Eh? (Taking out a credit card) Did you accept credit card?

Suddenly True Master took out a card reader and smiling.

Meanwhile, the Titans were trapped, Cyborg's only part was his head while his body is in pieces. Katarou was waiting over the Titans.

Katarou: It seems your leader abandoned you, it means you are not useful anymore.

Starfire: (Nearly crying) I don't wanna die!

Beast Boy: If we haven't mocked Robin's fighting style, we wouldn't be in this situation.

Raven: I knew this is our end.

Cyborg: Why did I have to be first?

Katarou: Okey, I suppose to eliminate now!

In that moment, they heard a voice from a long distance. It was Robin, who was wearing his karate custom.

Robin: So did you wait for me?

Katarou: I was waiting for this! And I see you practiced a lot.

Then, Robin and Katarou were facing to fight again. Katarou began giving punches against Robin but he was dodging.

Katarou: What happen Robin, don't you wanna fight?

Robin: Time to prove my lesson from True Master.

Katarou: (Surprised) The True Master?

Then Robin did some moves like an animal.

Robin: (Imitating the Bear) The strength of the bear!

He hit Katarou with his body.

Robin: (Imitating the Snake) The sight of the snake!

He moved on the ground and set on his body.

Robin: (Imitating the Monkey) The agility of the monkey!

He began punching everywhere while he was jumping. And finally Robin kicked Katarou on his head defeating him. The word WINNER appeared behind Robin.

The other titans were amazed to see Robin defeating Katarou with his new moves.

Robin got close to them and attempt to free them but he was just on their side as he was wanting something.

Robin: So…

Starfire, Beast Boy, Raven and Cyborg: Alright, alright, Karate skill is the best fighting style.

Robin: (Pointing them) Ha, ha! In your faces!

Then Robin began dancing the victory dance very happy, the word THE END appeared behind Robin.
