Chapter 1: A new Titan

"Titans. Status." Robin's voice came on over their interlinked com system
"This is Starfire, I was successful in securing Argent." She replied
"Robin here, I got Herald." She said
"Cyborg, ow, reporting. I got Pantha."
"I got Jericho, but is he really gonna help us?" Beast Boy asked
"And I told Bushido, that's everyone. And yes Beast Boy, he-" Robin was interrupted as static filled the communicators
"Robin?" Beast Boy asked "Cyborg? Starfire? Raven? Anybody?"
"Beast Boy. Beast Boy come in. Do you read, Beast Boy!" Robin shouted to his now disconnected communicator. As he turned away from it he saw that Madame Rouge was looking at him
"Madame Rouge!" He shouted opening the cockpit of his ship and jumping out to attack her
"Oh you silly boy. That wasn't too smart." She said as she dodged his attack sending him flying over the edge of the ship. She reached down and grabbed him before knocking him out and taking him with her.
Cyborg pulled out his communicator "Beast Boy, what's goin' on?" he asked
"We can't contact Beast Boy. He's lost connection with us, as has Robin." Starfire told him
"What's-" Cyborg was interrupted as he Mammoth fell from above and slammed into the ground. "I'll ask later." He told them before putting the communicator away and turned his arm into the sonic cannon.
"I don't think this was a good idea." Beast Boy said to himself. A sudden slamming sound on his ship alerted Beast Boy to an unknown border. He looked up and there was a young man sitting on the top of his ship. He wore a light blue robe with a white-string interlacing design that went down the front. Across his lap was a staff with a small clock at the tip.
Starfire flew over the broken dam looking for Argent. "Raven. I don't believe Argent is alright." She said
A red light flashed and snapped at Starfire's communicator taking it from her. Kitten was holding the light like a whip and caught the small device. "Oh Roby-poo" she called into the communicator "Remember me?"
Raven flew over a city when a black tornado appeared on her ship. She looked up and saw Kyd Wykkyd on top her ship. "Be careful, they're everywhere" Raven said into her communicator to whoever would listen. She put it away as Kyd reached inside the cockpit and began to pull her out. Raven let him then turned and saw Psimon.
"Who is-?" Beast Boy stopped when he heard a heartbeat. He looked around and suddenly saw Kardiak on top his ship. He screamed and the young figure from before suddenly moved. He stood and held his hand out, a strange sound that sounded like laser-fire mixed with a bubble pop. Kardiak's heartbeat stopped and Beast Boy looked up at them confused.
"Who are-" he was interrupted again as an army of robots flew up around him. He looked around and noticed that they were all soldiers from the brotherhood of evil. He kicked at the glass and the hatch opened and allowed him on top of his ship. There he saw the stranger from before ready for a fight, his staff held firmly in both hands.
Beast Boy ignored him and turned into a falcon before flying off and beginning to fight the robots. He darted through them causing the bots to shoot each other. He flew past another squadron of them that were using explosives. They fired destroying a whole other squad of robots. The stranger jumped off of the ship and held his arm out. The strange, laser-blaster mixed with a bubble pop noise occurred again and the robots froze.
Beast Boy flew to a nearby island and turned into his human form. The stranger hopped from robot to robot and landed next to him.
"Ok. For the last time. Who are you!" Beast Boy asked
The stranger bowed "My name is Guardian T. Time. I've been sent by the Guardians to assist in the war-effort by collecting the Teen Titans and their allies. As well as to assist in any worldly affairs." He told Beast Boy before standing up again. "You are the one named Beast Boy correct?"
"Yeah. And your name is Time?" he asked
"That is correct. I was hoping to speak to your leader… where is he?" he asked
"I don't know. The communicators suddenly stopped working." Beast Boy told him as the ship landed next to them
"I'm sorry to inform you that, that would most likely be my fault" Time told him
"Why would it be your fault?" Beast Boy asked
"When I entered this area I sensed danger and sent out a wave that froze time of anything non-living that was keeping someone alive. It must've frozen your communicator." Time told him
"So then. Can you fix it?" he asked
"Oh yes. Let me see it." He told him
Beast Boy led him over to the ship and there he showed the communicator that was inserted into the console of the ship. Time pulled it out and held his hand above it. The sound that normally emitted when he did this was played in reverse and suddenly the device burst into noise as all messages that played across the communicators while it was frozen in time played in exact order and delay they had come in. Time let it run and when it stopped it detonated frying and sizzling in his hand.
"Seems things have gotten extremely bad." Time told him as he handed back the communicator.
"Yeah. We've gotta find out how many of the titans are left." Beast Boy said. "Come on." He said leading the way for Time to follow.
He led him through a dense jungle toward a mountain in the center. There at the base they found a hidden slate with a giant T engraved into the slate. Beast Boy turned into a gorilla and pushed it aside. He reverted to himself and went inside. He turned the lights on revealing it to be a Titans outpost. He took a few steps inside and turned to Time.
"Now we wait for Robin to get everyone together and launch an attack on the Brotherhood of evil." Beast Boy said grinning
"I don't think that's gonna happen." Time told him as he walked inside and leaned against the wall closest to the door. His staff held in his right hand.
"What makes you say that?"
"Because I'm not detecting any signs of a signature like Robin's through the stream of time in this world." Time told him
"What does that mean?" Beast Boy asked, fear ebbing into his voice.
"It could mean a multitude of things. It could mean he's dead. Or he's stopped moving. Or that he's no longer in this world or existence." Time told him
"Robin's dead?" A voice asked. Beast Boy and Time looked through the door to see Pantha climb in. "I found a friend." She said as Mas climbed down from her back. "Now what were you saying about Robin being dead?" She asked Time
"I didn't say he was dead. Just that I can't track him through the time stream of this world." Time told her
"Time stream of this world? What do you mean, are there other worlds?" Pantha asked
"Plenty. But I don't feel like going into that right now. What we need to do is gather a force and try to find where they're keeping the captured Titans." Time said stepping off the wall and walking forward toward Beast Boy. As he came alongside the young titan a portal opened and Jericho and the Herald stepped out
"Did we miss the party?" Herald asked
"Just in time." Time told him smirking at the joke.
"So then. We all know each other, but who are you?" Pantha asked
Time looked from Herald and Jericho to Mas and Pantha. "My name is Guardian T. Time, and I'm a friend an ally of the Teen Titans." He told them
"Let's not worry about who he is. He's here to help and that's what matters. Now, we need a plan." Beast Boy told them
Time nodded at this and turned his attention to Beast Boy. The young green man nodded and called the group into a huddle.
"Now… what we'll need to do is…"
