NOW!
Fiend? Friend? Father!
"Come on, man! Wake up! Please." Spirit hissed as she shook Portal's shoulder frantically, hoping that he was okay. "Please, man, Please! Do not die." she said weakly, resting her head on his shoulder.
The titans had been plunged somewhere under the sewers. There were torches hung up around the sewers, though so it was pretty light. The only one to wake up from their deep dark sleep, was Spirit. The others laid face down in the sewage water.
"NNn...Spirit?" Combustion groaned, opening his eyes a little to look at her. The white-haired girl jumped slightly then looked at her mentors with happiness flashing in her eyes. Combustion looked away quickly, knowing that if he stared to long at her eyes, he would be in a mind control state. "Where are we?" He moaned, trying to pick himself out of the sewage water,but his attempt failed and his body just splashed back down into the waste.
"What? What am I in?"he asked, half curious, and half angry.
Spirit replied simply "Waste, poop, Sewage."
Combustion hissed, trying to desperately drag himself up, but failed to. Suddenly, his body began to rise out of the Sewage, a green bubble encasing him. He struggled, thinking that it was some type of dark magic, or villain doing to works,but as his body laid onto the 'sidewalk' of the sewers, he saw Spirits' eyes glowing brightly. "Y-You can levitate...T-Things..." he gasped, rising his head up.
Spirit nodded, turning to the others in the sewage.
A green bubble began to encase to rest of titans south, floating them out of the waste and onto the 'side-walk.'
After the bubbles disappeared, Spirit was gasping for breath. Sweat had formed on her head and she was huffing.
"Guessing you don't use that power that much, do you?" Combustion asked, sympathetic.
Spirit gave a small smirk and watched at Combustion slowly picked himself up, with groaning and hisses, and dragged himself over to the sewers wall. Spirit looked over to the others with a sorrowful look, then looked back at Combustion, who hand his head bent over.
"So, guess we're defeated?" Spirit asked softly.
Combustion looked up at her and scowled, shaking his head furiously "We need to go after them."
"No, we need to go back to Titans tower!"
Combustion stared at her with a blank look, then looked away and nodded "Yeah, guess you're right." he replied quietly. Suddenly, he leaned over a started coughing, his cough ringing through the sewers. Spirit looked at him with a worried look, her eyes gleaming in concern for a split-second,before turning back to their normal look.
Coughing and gasping sounded through the sewers again,but it didn't come from either Combustion or Spirit. The two looked behind them to see Portal fidgeting around,but he wasn't coughing. Aero's head suddenly shot up and he looked around wildly then at the others "Okay, where are we? What am I drenched in, and is there anything to eat 'cause I'm pretty hungry."
Spirit looked at him with a 'are you serious?' look and Combustion let out a small, painful, chuckle. Aero floated off the ground, wobbling a little, then suddenly, his whole body just crashed back down to the 'sidewalk.'
"You okay, dude?" Combustion asked, worriedly, even though he had his own injuries to worry about. Aero gritted his teeth as he lifted himself back up, smirking a bit "Yeah, just-" he winced for a second as he rose onto his feet, dusting himself up. -"fine. I'm alive, ain't I?"
Spirit snorted "Did you make a deal with the villains or something? 'cause you look like the most uninjured out of us all." slight suspicion in her voice. Aero grunted, glaring at her as he answered "No! All they did was hit me really, really, hard on the back of my head. That can kill some people you 'know? Guess I'm just lucky."
"You know that the part of your brain that tells you how to breathe, is in the back of your head, right?" Combustion asked, as if he was dumb.
Aero stood there silently, glancing at Spirit then back at Combustion, before chuckling "So, where are we anyway?" he asked, changing the subject. Spirit sighed "we're in the sewers, obviously the Villains thought we were dead, so they must've dumped our bodies here."
"Maybe they thought the alligators would get us..." A voice struggled to say from behind them. They turned to see Optic picking herself up into a sitting position, staring at them with her gray eyes slightly drooping. Aero let out a small smile at her attempt for a joke, then turned to the others "So, where are going?"
"Home, to the tower. I need to heal you guys, then maybe...just maybe...we could try again to defeat the villains." Combustion sighed, looking away.
Aero huffed "They sure did get us? Didn't they? I actually thought I was gonna die. When they hit me, I saw stars. ,but then the stars were just suddenly snuffed out, as if they had been covered by something large..."
Coughing and hacking erupted behind them, and they turned around to see Lionix fidgeting and water spilling from her mouth. She had a little spasm, then shot up off the ground, holding her throat. She started coughing again, throwing up even more water, before shakily standing up and walking over to them.
She almost fell though, and Aero had to catch her before she hit the ground. Lionix looked up at Aero and Aero looked down at Lionix, before Optic started laughing "Nice going, mister romantic." she chuckled. Lionix pulled away quickly, blushing. While Aero just stood there chuckling, his head up behind his head as he smiled awkwardly.
Combustion looked away and Spirit rolled her eyes.
"So, we all awake and ready to go?" Aero asked.
Combustion pushed himself off the wall and onto his feet, wincing and gritting his teeth at every move he made. He huffed as he was finally upright on his feet "Are we all ready to go? No, we are not. Are we all awake? No, we are not. Portal is still out cold." he then pointed to the white haired boy behind Aero. Portal laid behind them, not stirring like the others,but he was breathing steadily.
"Well, we need to get going...so...Aero you carry him." Optic said quickly.
"What? Why me?" Aero asked in protest.
"Well, you are the one with less injuries, so I think you should carry it." Optic remarked.
Aero groaned, making Lionix snicker, as he went over and lifted their leader onto his shoulders. He slowly walked back over to the group, growling "Okay, now, where do we go?"
Optic paused, her eyes glowing yellow for a second (X-ray vision!) then smiled "Theres a man hole cover around here. Follow me." she said cheerily and started walking quickly down the side-walk.
"Wait." Combustion cried, limping and wincing, as he tried to keep up with the brown haired girl. He almost stumbled over at least twice, before Optic finally slowed down and the others had cached up. "Now where to?" Aero asked, looking down two tunnels that led opposite of each other, the ends of the tunnels where dark.
Optic paused, her gray eyes glowing yellow. Then her head snapped straight up, looking at something above her. "Above us...Aero, can you?"
Aero gave a nod, and he set Portal down gently, before zooming up to the sewer top and pushed on it. It didn't open at first, but then the cover cracked a bit, then slowly it began to open. He finally was able to push the whole thing off, grunting.
"Okay. Whos first?" Aero asked, flying down to the group.
Spirit raised a hand lazily and Aero flew over to her, wrapping his hands around her and lifting her up to the surface. Then he went back for Lionix. Lionix argued that she could get up there by herself, pushing him away. Aero shrugged simply and watched as she crouched down then lunged up at the opening on the top. She managed to grab hold of the opening,but then was just left dangling there.
The others watched from where they were, Optic snickering a little as Lionix yelled " 'eh! Help!"
Aero sighed and flew up to her, grabbing her by the waist and carrying her out of the sewers. He then went back to help the others. Optic, then Combustion and finally the limp body of Portal, who had stirred a bit, but didn't wake up.
The five stood outside the sewers, drenched in waste, and looked at their city. Cars were turned over and a couple of buildings were burning, not much damage,but it still was unacceptable. It was oddly sunny and bright outside,not really reflecting the moods of the titans. Optic clenched her fists in anger,but Aero just snorted. He turned away from the city, Portal hanging over his shoulders, and began flying in the direction of the tower.
"You guys coming?" he asked, looking back at the others.
The others noticed he was leaving and nodded, slowly following the flying titan.
"Gosh! Finally, we're home!" Optic shouted, causing the others to wince at her loud voice. Aero just rolled his eyes,not in the mood to comment about her voice volume.
"I feel as if we forgot something..." Lionix said, trailing off when the titans walked into the main room. Instantly, everyone stopped moving and stared at disbelief at the tower. There was clothes scattered all around and pot and pans lying on the couch. The TV was on and running on about the news, and there was red spray paint on the walls, saying 'Titans suck!' in bold letters.
"Who the heck was in the tower while we where gone!" Optic yelled in frustration. Then, as if their answers had been answered: a pile of clothes in the side of the room began to move. Lionix jumped in fear, crashing into Combustion. The green eyed teenager simply pushed the girl away and stared in horror at what was in the corner of the room.
A head poked out, and that was immediately when Optic launched herself across the room, besides her injuries, and began to beat up the intruder.
"Optic..." Combustion said softly, trying to catch her attention before she killed the poor creature. Optic paid him no attention and continued to toss the person around in anger, as the person screamed in fear.
"Optic!" He repeated, a little louder. The brown haired girl stopped, whipping around towards him, the person still flailing around in her grasp.
"Calm down, and bring him here..." Combustion ordered. She hesitated for a while, not used to taking commands from him,but then slowly walked over to him and dropped the person at his feet. When Lionix recognized who the intruder was she almost sprang at him,but Aero held her back from tearing him to shreds.
"Heh...Hi..." Twist replied, shyly.
Spirit glanced over at the red-head before going off down the hall to retrieve cleaning supplies. Combustion towered over Twist, not taking any moves to hit or hurt him. Instead, he growled "Wheres Checkers?"
Twist looked up at him with a puzzled look,before a brief flash of understanding came upon his face "That brown rat? Oh, I threw him out the window..."
Combustion gasped, then quickly leaned towards Twist, yelling "WHAT?!"
"Kidding! Hes somewhere in the tower, I just don't know-"
"Found him!" Aero exclaimed, flying up to the ceiling and pointing towards a large wad of super glue. The rat was indeed stuck onto the super glue, squeaking loudly. "How...?" Combustion started, but then shook his head and huffed "Just get out!"
"What!?" Optic and Twist yelled simultaneously. "You can't let him go! Hes a criminal!" Optic argued as Twist started to crawl away.
"Leave it, Optic, we're in no condition to be fighting or to keep him as prisoner. In time, you'll get your turn to beat him to a pulp...or whatever..." Combustion snorted, walking off down the hall to go find something to remove the rat off the ceiling.
Optic watched the red-head crawl away, glaring at him menacingly,before turning around and heading off after Combustion.
"Stand still, Aero, I just gotta-"
"No! I hate needles!"
"Aero!" Combustion cried as he flew towards the ceiling and began circling around,before refusing to move.
Everyone had went into Combustion's room so that he could run a few tests on them and see if they were okay, everyone had been deemed OK. Portal was in some type of coma, and they weren't sure if he was gonna come out of it anytime soon, he was leaned up against the wall near Spirit.
They had also learned that the villains that had teamed up to kill them, had went their separate ways and had left the city. Well some had. Dawn, Machinist, Saw-blade and his assistant Spidex had left. Silver and Tigress had decided to stay in the city.
Optic was sitting on the floor, by the edge of the bed, her head on her knees as she sat there to think. Lionix was besides Spirit, peaking over at the book she was reading. Spirit grunted and tried to scoot away,but Lionix would only scoot closer.
"If I don't inject this into you, you may die." Combustion informed calmly.
"How so?"
"You don't know if the enemies injected some type of poison in your body. This may also help you heal."
"I'm fine!" Aero argued.
Optic's head shot up and she scowled at the floating boy in the air. "Aero, just take the shot already, or I'm gonna explode!"
Aero looked down at her, smiling "Well, I'd like to see that."
"Why you little-!"
"Guys!" Combustion interrupted them, angrily. Suddenly the bottom of Aero's shirt burst into green and black flames, and the wavy haired boy squeaked, scrambling to snuff it out. After he finished killing the fire, he turned to Combustion and scowled.
"If you come take the shot, that won't happen again." He said, almost threateningly. Aero sighed in defeat and floating to the ground.
"Stand still." Combustion huffed, as he walked over to Aero and quickly gave him the shot. Aero gritted his teeth as he felt the serum in the shot flow through his veins. Then he floated back up towards the ceiling, circling around.
Suddenly, Checkers came dashing into the room and over towards Lionix and Spirit. Spirit barely moved at the rat's presence,but Lionix jumped up out from her spot and rushed over to the bed, crawling under the cover. Combustion noticed his pet and called the rat over to him.
"Now what spooked you?" he asked, as the rat scurried up his leg and onto his shoulder, squeaking loudly, and bobbing his head up and down. Optic snickered a little at how the rat looked, but then her attention was given to a large figure that slunk into the entrance of Combustion's room.
"What the heck is that?" Optic asked, getting up quickly and facing the object.
The figure growled at her, lowering its head and pressing towards the ground.
Lionix's head rose up from the cover of the bed and she stared at the figure in anger,before springing out the bed and marching over to it "You! How dare you show your face here!" she snarled, her fingers turning into claws.
"Who is it, Lionix?" Combustion asked.
"Why don't you show yourself, Tigress!" Lionix spat at the figure. The figure crawled into the room, showing a Tiger's face. The Tiger's eyes were full of sympathy and anger as it stared at the Titans.
"GET OUT!" Combustion growled, pointing his finger at the Tiger angrily. The Tiger flinched back,before the air started shimmering and the Tiger transformed into a girl with brown hair and bright blue eyes. Her orange shirt and black striped pants were slightly ripped and looked a little beat up.
"What happened to you?" Aero huffed.
"None of your business, you air-head!" Tigress growled, looking up at the floating sixteen year old. Aero reared back and huffed again. Suddenly Tigress began floating in the air.
"What the- hey!" She cried out, trying to plant her feet back on the ground. Aero simply did nothing and continued to let the girl float in the air, while Combustion hissed "Why did you come here!"
Checkers had jumped down from his owners shoulder and scrambled over to Spirit, who barely glanced at the others and just continued on reading.
Tigress snarled "Maybe if you put me down, I'd tell ya!"
Combustion scowled then glanced at Aero, nodding once. Aero nodded back and let the girl fall to the ground without warning. The girl merely grunted and picked herself back onto her feet. "May I sit?" she asked.
"No, just hurry up and tell us why you decided to just waltz up into OUR tower, after you tried to kill me!" Optic said rudely.
Tigress sighed, her head bent and her brown hair covering her face as she spoke "My dad...hes coming to get me-"
"Whys that?" Lionix interrupted.
"Because...while you guys were Supposedly "killed," I had tried to tell them that they had went to far by killing the titans-"
Flashback time!
"You guys didn't have to kill them!" Tigress growled.
"Yes, we did!" Machinist huffed, his back to her as he picked up Optic and slung her over his shoulder. Silver was with him, she was ordering her dogs to get the rest of the titans and drag them down to the sewers.
"We could have at least kept the captive, tortured them or something! But you just decided to go straight out and kill them, right?" Tigress argued.
"I didn't know you were so heartless, Aria, torturing someone is worst than plain out killing them quickly." A cold voice rang out in the darkness, sending a chill through Tigress as she turned to the owner of the voice.
"Dad?" she gasped as a man ,in a tight black jumpsuit that with white sleeves that went all the way wrists, stepped out of the dark and towards his daughter.
"I don't like how you were so merciful, Aria, what did I teach you?"
Tigress stared at her dad angrily,but didn't reply. Machinist and Silver just watched for a little while,before carrying the titans away. Tigress glanced at them then back at her dad.
"I. don't. like. you." Tigress said slowly, trying her best to stand up tall and seem threatening, but her dad easily towered over her as he stared at her calmly. A glint of anger went through his gaze,but otherwise he kept his same, blank, emotion.
"You have nowhere to run to, Aria. I don't like you either,but I have to deal with it, don't I." He said, resting a hand on her shoulder. She instantly pulled away from him, glaring at him with hatred.
The man still didn't seemed phased as he stepped back and put his hands behind his back "Where are you gonna go?"
"I-I..I-..."
"That's right, you can't go ANYWHERE! You are mines, and you will stay with me."
"No!" Tigress cried, running off into the dark. She could hear her dad chuckling behind her "
I will get you!"
The flashback has ended!
"You see? That's why I came here. I need your help." Tigress said, raising her head to look at them.
"Okay...tell us again, why should we help you?" Optic scoffed lazily.
"I TRIED TO STOP YOU FROM GETTING KILLED! WERE YOU EVEN LISTENING!?" Tigress screamed in outrage.
"Cool it, Kitty." Spirit remarked, glancing at her from behind her book. Tigress whipped around towards her, scowling before glancing at Combustion with a pleading look.
Combustion stared back at her, then sighed "On one condition."
"What?"
"Can you tell me what they did to Portal?"
Tigress peered over at the sleeping leader, who hadn't moved an inch since she had been in the room. "Yeah." she said, doubtfully. Combustion nodded and gestured towards the white-haired boy. Tigress walked over to him and keeled down on her knee, staring at him.
"Have you guys tried hitting him with a bat?" She said, looking towards them.
"What?!" Aero spluttered out in shock.
"If you simulate some pain somewhere in his body, his nervous system should accumulate enough shock to be able to pull him out of his coma..." she stated simply "I'd be glad enough to do that for you."
"No! I'll do that." Combustion grunted.
"How you gonna do that?" Lionix asked.
"Like this."
Suddenly a small black and green flame sprouted up on Portal's forearm. Optic gasped as she saw what her friend was doing "Combustion! You can't burn him!"
"Well what else are we gonna do?"
"Hit him, whack him with a bat or something!"
"That would leave a mark, a simple burn i-"
He was cut off as Portal lurched out of his coma and started screaming, patting down the fire hastily. When the fire was snuffed out, he turned to glare at Combustion angrily.
"Hi." Tigress said simply from beside him and his attention was then given to the brown haired shape-shifter. "Tigress? What are you doing here?!"
"Saving you from a coma, that's what." Tigress replied bluntly.
Portal huffed and tried picking himself up,but Combustion ordered him to stay put because he had to check his vitals. Suddenly, the sound of multiple crashing plates came from downstairs and everyone jumped, turning towards the door. Checkers scurried away from Spirit and over towards the entrance of the door, peering outside with interest.
"Checkers! Get away from there!" Combustion warned the rat. The rat paid him no attention and slunk forward some more, glancing down the hallways. Without warning the rat jumped back and scrambled away from the doorway and over to Tigress, who looked down at the it in disgust.
Growling came from the door as a large grizzly bear slunk into the room with glowing blue eyes fixed on the titans. It looked unnaturally large brown bear with razor sharp black claws and a blood-freezing blue eyed stare.
Its gaze passed over watch one of the titans before settling on Tigress. Tigress squeaked at the bears gaze and immediately jumped to her feet, transforming into a Tiger.
The bear planted its large paws far apart from each other in a sturdy stance, lowering its head and baring its white fangs.
Tigress looked at the bear for a second, before racing forward. The bear lifted its head and roared loudly, and Tigress took in that split moment to slip between the bears paws and race out the door. The bear stood there, puzzled for a while, before realizing what had happened and raced after the girl.
It was obvious, by all the crashing and bumping, that the two animals had ran down the hallway and into the main-room.
When they had got downstairs, they were shocked and slightly mad at the scene they saw. The tower, which Aero, Combustion and Optic, had just cleaned up, was now dirty again. Except, it looked way worse that it did the first time.
"Okay, I don't care if shes good or not! I'm gonna slap her next time I see her!" Optic growled, balling her fists.
The two animals weren't in the main-room now, they must've left the tower.
"I can't believe I'm saying this,but we're gonna have to help the enemy..." Portal sighed "TITANS SOUTH, MOVE OUT!"
LIKE A BOSS!
GAH! 1 DOWN :3 Hope ya like!
Always misunderstood~Hazel
