Tales of a country boy

V8 looked out at his large lake, he had been kicked off the team a while back ago for slamming a large passenger plane into the city streets (his power was the ability to control ALL machines). 600 people had been killed and Robin promptly kicked him off the team, it was no big deal though, he had his revenge planned. V8 adjusted his Tony Stewart hat and turned on the small radio next to him, the sounds of Toby Keith poured out. V8 relaxed and looked up at the sky. He thought back to that day three weeks ago. He and the other titans had Mad Mod cornered; he had no place to go. Raven approached him and was stabbed in the belly with his cane, she fell back, spitting up blood. Beast Boy ran over to Raven and Robin commanded the team to back off. Mad Mod wasn't worth the death of a team-mate. V8 saw his chance, he got control of a Boeing 747 and it dove down into the city streets, killing Mad Mod and 600 others. Robin was highly pissed and gave him the boot.

"Damn it" V8 said to himself. "It was just an accident, hell, I was jest tryin to help" he added. He looked up and noticed a small Cessna buzzing over head. He focused on it and the plane plunged down into a nearby field. He could see the thick black smoke fill the air. "That felt good" he said with a smirk. Robin would pay for kicking him off the team; he would pay with his life. He was strong and a skilled fighter, but could he beat an Abrams tank or an F-16? An evil grin spread across his face, he knew what he had to do. Revenge was a dish served cold, or in Robin's case, a heat seeking missile. Innocents will be killed, but V8 didn't care anymore. V8 laughed and 12 Fighter Jets roared over-head, no one behind the controls.

Meanwhile, back in jump city, the titans were celebrating the capture of Slade. "We finally did it" cyborg said, taking a bite of pizza. "Yes, it is wondrous that we captured the slade" Starfire agreed. "I just wish V8 was here to help, it would have been a lot easier with is powers" Beast Boy said taking Ravens hand. Robin stood up with anger "He killed over 500 people, he's not a Teen Titan" He snarled. "Robin, calm down, V8 was trying to help" Raven said placing a hand on Robins shoulder. "Don't you touch me" he growled. Cyborg cocked his head "Yall hear something" he asked as the low roar got louder. Robin ran to the radar as saw 12 quickly moving dots heading for the tower. "Titans, quick, get out, go to the bunker" Robin commanded. One of the jets fired a single missile and the others followed suit. Robin dove down just as the missiles nailed the tower; the blast ripped massive holes in the walls and part of the tower crashed to earth in a crowd of dust. Robin staggered to his feet, he was hurt, but alive and that described all the other titans. "Dude, what happened" Beast Boy asked as the jets disappeared into the distance. "You know what it means, V8 is pissed because we kicked him off the team" Robin said. "Who's the hell we, your the one who kicked him off" Cyborg yelled. "Yes, that is true" Starfire agreed. He's after you robin, and if I were you,

I'd call him and apologize now" Raven warned. "V8 tried to kill us, he's a bad guy now" Robin said. "And he's going down" Cyborg and Beast Boy looked at each other with a puzzled look. "Robin, V8 can nuke the city, you sure you want to piss him off even more" Raven said gently.

"I don't care,I can take him down" Robin said standing up and looking out at the ocean. Robin was determined and thought he was going to bring down the redneck, but he would soon find out how hard that would be.

Back in Georgia, V8 smiled as his jets flew back over, dipping there wings to single the job had been done "perfect" V8 said to himself as he walked back to his back-woods home. He opened the door and sat on the couch. It had been a long day. He turned on the TV and flicked to the race. He smiled as Tony Stewart roared across the finish line, to get his 4th win of the season. After watching the post-race show, he turned to the news and became enraged at what he saw, Robin was alive, he had burns and other woulds, but he was alive, he was relived that the others were alive though "V8, i know your watching, and your going down" Robin warned as he looked into the camera. "heh, if he wants a war, he's got himself a war" V8 said with a smile.
