Teen Titans: Season Six, Episode 1
"What Happens Next?"
Introduction:
What you are about to read is a continuation of the classic animated TV series "Teen Titans". The show was cancelled after it's fifth season and left the show on a huge cliffhanger, leaving fans to do nothing but speaculate what could have happen to their favourite characters. I was a fan of the show when I was younger, when I heard they were bringing back Teen Titans I thought "No Way" and I kinda got excited because the show had so many unanswered questions: Who is Red X? Where is Slade? Why haven't they done an episode about any of the characters origins? And Terra, What the hell was going on with Terra? But sadly they created Teen Titans Go instead, a parody comedy version of the Titans. The show left us older fans out in the rain, still wondering about "What Happens Next?". Well, I hope that this story will help solve those unanswered questions and more.
We begin the season off directly after the events of the episode "Things Change". Beast Boy just left for a call on his communicater after talking to a girl who looks just like his old crush Terra. The rest of the Titans are fighting a bizarre mystery creature that seems to be resistant against all attacks. If you haven't seen the episode in a long time I suggest you watch it.
Interior: Recycling center, day
The Creature absorbs the flames and spreads the fire all over the warehouse. The fire reaches the oil cans, almost completely engulfing them.
Robin: This whole place isn't safe, Titans we have to leave, now!
The Titans run out of the building, with Starfire bursting out of a window just before an explosion erupts.
Exterior: Recycling center, day
Robin: Star are you alright!?
Starfire: Yes, but I'm afraid that's the least of our worries.
Raven: The fire will burn the whole forest down, maybe the whole city!
The Creature emerges from out of the building and helps spread the flames faster.
Cyborg: What is this thing, and where in the hell is Beast Boy!?
The communicator goes off.
Cyborg: speak of the devil.
Robin answers the communicator.
Robin: Beast Boy.
Beast Boy: Guys, I can see the fire from here. I got an idea to put it out but I need Raven and Starfire's help.
Cyborg: My scanners say BB's communicator is that way.
Raven and Starfire fly out to the water.
Raven: Where is he?
Starfire: Down there!
They dive into the water and pull Beast Boy as a whale out and fly him over toward the fire, he regurjatates water out of his mouth across the fire and puts almost all the flames out. The Creature turns to water and heads out to the bay.
Raven: Wow that was some quick thinking Beast Boy. Wow, I can't believe I just said that.
Robin: It sure was quick. The situation could've been much worse. But that thing got away again, let's head for the tower and get coordinated for when it attacks again.
Beast Boy: Got it, let's go.
Theme Song
Interior: Titans Tower living room, day
Robin is working on the tower's computer while the others are talking in the kitchenette.
Starfire: So you're saying that this Terra is the original but refuses to remember her past. But why, why would she not want to remember her good friends?
Cyborg: Maybe she does remember but she just wants to live a new life, a normal life, like an everyday person. I know I've thought about it before, finishing high school, going to college, getting a job and a girlfriend. But she's lucky; she doesn't have to look different for the rest of her life.
Cyborg looks at his robotic hands in sadness and grief.
Raven: You could still do most of those things Cyborg.
Cyborg: Yeah but my life as a Titan is so demanding I would never have the time, maybe Terra knew that?
Beast Boy is staring out the window of the tower and upon the city.
Beast Boy: Honestly, I don't care who she is or what she does with her life. All I know is that the original Terra's body is gone; anything or anyone could have done something to her!
He places his hand on the glass.
Beast Boy: She could be out there, anywhere?!
Raven: And if this Girl is Terra and she doesn't want us to know, then what?
Beast Boy: I don't know, I'll figure out something, I'm not giving up on her that easily.
Robin approaches the Titans.
Robin: It'll have to wait; the computer is detecting another attack downtown.
The computer signals an alarm and the Titans run over.
Cyborg: The scanners are detecting multiple attacks across the whole city
Robin: We don't have enough time to fight them all together. I'm afraid were going to have to split up, Titans go!
Exterior: Jump City, day
Raven is flying alongside Beast Boy in the form of a pterodactyl who is carrying Cyborg.
Raven: It's the same creature as before but now there's more of them!?
Cyborg: Maybe their always was more than one? It explains why they were so hard to catch.
Each Titan fights one of the creatures in separate parts of the city.
Beast Boy: Hey you, ya big ugly buttmunch!
The Creature looks away confused because nothing's there. It turns around and Beast Boy as a Gorilla hits him with a hook and the creature goes flying back.
Beast Boy: Ha, made you look!
Raven uses her powers to throw anything she can get at the creatures, dumpsters, light poles , cars, mail boxes... All those things only phased the creature.
Raven: Azarath, Metiron, Zenthos!
One of the creatures starts attacking Jump City Pizza, Cyborg points his Sonic Cannon at him.
Cyborg: If you want to destroy my favourite pizza place, you'll have to go through me first!
And then fires. Robin throws explosives after explosives at another creature.
Robin: Dammit these things have to have some sort sweet spot or weakness.
Starfire: I wish for you to leave this planet at once!
Starfire grabs one of the creatures from behind and flies up into the sky in order to throw the creature into the depths of space. When flying through some clouds the Creature turns to vapour and disappears. Starfire looks around stunned, and then the Creature emerges from the clouds and attacks her from behind causing her to fall to the Earth with the Creature falling behind her. Robin while fighting sees her dropping from the sky.
Robin: No. Starfire!
Starfire drops and hits the roof of a skyscraper while the Creature lands on his feet, both causing huge craters. Weak from the crash she stumbles to stand up and tries to fire her star bolts but the Creature grabs her arms and tries to rip her in half. She starts to charge her eye blast.
Starfire: Unhand me now or I…
Before Starfire could get her shot off the Creature is obliterated into nothing by a huge energy blast. Val-Yor's ship flies over Starfire and into the city. Using expert manoeuvring, he helps the other Titans by blasting all the creatures.
Starfire: It can not be?!
Val-Yor lands his ship on Titan Island.
Robin: Titans, our old guest seems friendly enough. Let's go give him a visit.
Val-Yor parks his ship next to the door of the tower and the Titans arrive on the scene. The hatch door lowers open and Val-Yor steps out.
Cyborg: So it is Val-Yor.
Val-Yor: Sorry if I was interrupting anything Titans, but my ship picked up the presents of Locrix technology in the area so I had to investigate.
Robin: Wait what, Locrix; I thought we destroyed their mother planet, Cention?!
Val-Yor: I wish it was that easy, but the Crixies are like filthy vermin. Spreading death and destruction wherever they roam, any planet they invade can be turned into a home world after they eliminate all life on it. Cention was only one planet they dominated.
Starfire: But these creatures do not look like they are the Locrix?
Val-Yor: What, not even a thank you Troqy, heh typical? Those were Crixie hunters, the assassins of the Locrix army. Almost completely indestructible and made of liquid metal that can change into anything it touches; the Crixies only make a few hunters because of how efficient they are at doing there jobs. But that's more than I can say for you Titans.
As soon as Val-Yor said the word Troqy Starfire's face turns to a violently angry expression and charges her eye blast.
Cyborg: We told you before, Buddy; you do not call her that!
Starfire: Val-Yor we appreciate your help, but if you continue to disgrace my people with your vile language you will not be welcome on our planet again!
Robin: I think he's already lost his welcome here.
Cyborg: If there is anything else you need to tell us about taking these hunters down tell us now, cause I think it's about time you leave.
Val-Yor: Well if that's the way you think I guess I'll just be going then, I'm sure you can handle the hunters by yourselves. I'll just b…..
Val-Yor gets a communication
Val-Yor: What's wrong? No! I must be on my way Titans, Vernathia is under attack by the Crixies again.
Robin: Do you need any help?
Val-Yor: I don't need any help from a bunch of useless humans and their little filthy Troq friend. I only helped you to repay my life debt, now you can't bother me with your pathetic earthling problems anymore.
Val-Yor begins to board his ship; he walks up the ramp then stops and turns around.
Val-Yor: Oh yes and Titans, I would be careful if I was you. If the hunters are after you that means the Locrix want you dead. Goodbye Titans….
The door closes
Val-Yor: …..And good riddance.
His ship flies off and Beast Boy is the only one left utterly scared by what Val-Yor had said.
Beast Boy: Dead, DEAD, they want us dead! We could hardly dent those things and now were their primary target. What are we supposed to do?
Raven: Val-Yor was the only one who knew how to stop the hunters, now I think he's never coming back.
Robin: We need to find what planet they're operating from and destroy the central power core, just like last time. Cyborg could you wire the tower's computer to search for Locrix tech in space.
Cyborg: Maybe, but it could take a few days or even a week.
Robin: Well the sooner is the better Cyborg; I'll help you work on it all night if we have to.
Beast Boy: God first Terra's missing now aliens want us killed, how am I supposed to sleep like this?
Raven: It's never stopped you before.
Beast Boy: Hey! well…yeah.
Interior: Titans Tower, night
Beast Boy is snoring very loudly in bed and Cyborg and Robin are still working on the tower's computer.
Cyborg: It's almost 3am maybe we should call it a night?
Robin: You can, but if this isn't finished soon earth could be invaded. I would never be able to sleep with that on my conscience.
Cyborg: Yawn, okay but don't push yourself to hard. You don't have an internal back-up battery.
Just as Cyborg is about to walk out the door the alarm goes off
Cyborg: Huh?
The other Titans run into the room.
Raven: What's wrong?
Starfire: Robin what is the matter!?
Beast Boy: I'm up I'm up!
Robin: Dear God no….
Robin turns the screen off to reveal the ships hovering over the city in the hundreds.
Robin: They've already begun their invasion!
Cyborg: We have to go and stop them before they start attacking the city.
Robin: We can't, there's too many of them. We have to take out the central power core. It's the only way we can stop all of them.
Raven: But how do we find it, it could be two galaxies away.
Robin: We might not be able to find it but I know someone who can.
Beast Boy: What!? You're not saying….
Starfire: Robin is right. No matter how much I truly hate and loath him, Val-Yor has the most experience with fighting the Locrix and should know how to find them.
Raven: Then we must leave now for Vernathia, before those things find…..
A Locrix ship flies over the tower and a hunter bursts through the ceiling.
Raven: Um….us.
The hunter goes to attack the Titans but in a furious rage Starfire holds the hunter back.
Starfire: Go and board the ship, I shall hold them off for as long as I can.
Robin: Starfire!
Starfire: Go! I will join you soon.
Robin: Alright, Titans go!
Starfire fights the hunter with all she's got and brutally strikes down upon it. The other Titans start up the T-ship and begin to take off.
Beast Boy: Do you think she's all right?
Cyborg: I'm sure she knows what she's doing.
Robin: She's the toughest woman I've ever met.
The ship starts flying up and away from the city
Robin: Come on Star, come on!
Starfire sees the ship fly off and goes to fly toward it. She flies through the hole in the ceiling then the hunter grabs her by the foot to try to pull her down. Starfire lets out a vicious scream and zooms past the T-ship at blinding speed. While in space she grabs the hunter and spins around and around, letting go of it and launching it into the sun vaporizing it instantly. The T-ship catches up to Starfire.
Exterior: Space
Beast Boy: Dude that was amazing, that was like some Superman stuff!
Cyborg: Quick Star, get in before they notice were gone.
The Titans head for Vernathia, but are shocked by what they find when they arrive.
Cyborg: There's Vernathia.
Raven: But where are the Locrix
Robin: It's quiet, too quiet.
Starfire: Yes, something sure smells fishlike.
Beast Boy: Ah Star, don't you mean fishy?
Cyborg: Well quiet or not, we're going in for a landing.
Exterior: Vernathia, day
The Titans land on the planet and ask a stranger for help.
Starfire: Maybe we should ask around. Umm excuse me sir but…
Stranger: Piss off Troq!
The stranger then spits on Starfire's boot, Cyborg grabs the stranger and lifts him up to his face by his shirt collar.
Cyborg: Okay look here buddy, somebody told us this place was under attack by the Locrix. Now where they at!
Stranger: The Crixies? They've been gone for years, decade's maybe.
Robin: But Val-Yor told us that….
Stranger: Val-Yor? You mean General Val-Yor?
Cyborg: General Val-Yor?!
Raven: So where can we find the General?
Stranger: Uh….I don't know, maybe government sector.
Cyborg: Well, thanks for the help.
Cyborg puts the stranger back down on his feet.
Cyborg: Now apologize to her!
The stranger get's a sweaty nervous expression on his face and stumbles while running away.
Cyborg: Punk.
Starfire: So my intuition was correct, something is fishlike.
Beast Boy: Its fishy Star, something is fishy.
Robin: Let's head for government sector; find out what's really going on here.
Interior: Val-Yor's giant office, day.
Assistant: Val-Yor, four earth heroes and some Troq girl to see you sir. Should I tell them to piss off or should I be more polite about it?
Val-Yor: No, no, no there will be no need for that let them in. But could you lock the door behind you, we wouldn't want our guests leaving too soon would we.
Assistant: Oh yes sir. Right this way ah…..Titans is it?
Beast Boy: uh yeah thanks?
Robin: What's going on here, why the lies "General?!" What are you trying to do, what is your end game in this?
Val-Yor: Those are pretty crappy questions for the world's greatest detective's lackey
Robin: I'm no lackey asshole, now spill it!
Raven: Whoa.
Beast Boy: Duuuuudde.
Val-Yor: Well, if you're going to act like that I might as well tell it to your face man to man. At this point it's impossible for you to do anything, you've already lost. The entire Crixie army has begun invading earth, the hunters are seeking and destroying all heroes and you're here miles away from your precious city. Which is probably an ash pile by now, but let me tell you the whole truth, I had been fighting the Crixies for so long I never really believed that they were gone.
Exterior: Flashback, day.
Val-Yor: Soon after I recovered I went back to Cention to search for anything left alive. It seemed like there was nothing there until I found something amazing, something that truly shocked me to my core. In the ruins of the same building that housed the central power core was a set of controls, a set of controls! Some sick bastard, some deranged being created these things to wipe out the universe! At first I wanted the whole planet levelled but then I thought of the possibilities, an entire army in the millions at my finger tips and no one would know I was controlling it. I decided to test my new army by first invading earth and using the hunters to eliminate all the superheroes, once the heroes were out of the way I would rule over earth with an iron fist making everyone left my slave. Then I would destroy Tamaran, the Green Lantern Corp and blame it on the Crixies, all while secretly controlling the army from my own office.
Interior: Val-Yor's office, day
Val-Yor reveals the control module under his desk
Starfire: How dare you commit such atrocities!
Starfire fires her eye blast at Val-Yor only for it to hit a force field.
Val-Yor: Did you really think I wouldn't see an attack coming, and besides you attacked a general, every member of the Vernathian army will be on your asses in a few minutes.
Robin: And what stops us from telling them what you've done?
Val-Yor: This!
A plasma field shoots up from the floor and traps the Titans in a painful field of electricity. Luckily at the very last second Starfire sees this and dodges the field just in time.
Val-Yor: Dammit!
Robin: Starfire go, go!
Starfire bursts through the window while Val-Yor fires his heat rays at her, but only missing.
Val-Yor: Crap, that dirty Troq will ruin everything.
Val-Yor deactivates the field and all the Titans are unconscious. An army officer enters through the door.
Officer: Sir, are you alright, we heard the blasting and…..Oh my word, are they dead.
Val-Yor: No, but they'll wish they were dead, after the things I do to them. Now assemble your men, the Troq got away and I want her preferably dead than alive!
Starfire heads for Cention with a platoon of Vernathian ships following behind.
Interior: prison chamber, night
The Titans are electronically shackled by their arms and legs to the floor and ceiling of the room.
Guard: Don't try anything funny prisoners, these shackles are designed to withstand your powers.
Val-Yor enters the room and talks to the guards.
Guard: General, Sir, what are we going to do with the prisoners?
Val-Yor: As soon as they find the Troq we shall execute them in public. Make an example of them; show the people the penalty for attacking a member of government. But for now I'll take care of them, if you could leave us alone.
The two guards leave the room. Val-Yor looks at Cyborg.
Cyborg: What are you looking at?
Val-Yor: If you keep acting like this maybe I won't kill you, maybe I'll just make you my slave after earth is conquered.
Cyborg: I will never be anyone's slave asshole!
Val-Yor punches Cyborg in the face causing his nose to bleed.
Val-Yor: I'll make you regret your words. As we speak your friend is being hunted down by my men, and when she's gone I'll finish the rest of you off. What do you have to say to that!?
Cyborg begins to laugh insanely.
Val-Yor: What the hell are you laughing at, or have you just lost it completely already?
Cyborg: At this point it's impossible for you to do anything, you've already lost!
Val-Yor: What!
Cyborg: It's your plan it's so stupid. Starfire is way faster than she looks, she's probably three quarters of the way to Cention with half the Vernathian army chasing after her. And what do you think your men will care more about, one Tamaranian or an entire planet filled with Crixies. You've been living a double life for too long man; you led your people into a trap and you didn't even notice.
Cyborg begins laughing again and Val-Yor back hands him across the face causing both of his nostrils to bleed.
Val-Yor: Shut your mouth!
Beast Boy: You're nothing but a sore loser.
Val-Yor charges his heat vision at Beast Boy
Val-Yor: What, you want some of this freak!
Beast Boy looks upon him with no fear and deep hatred. Val-Yor angrily leaves the room.
Val-Yor: Enough of you people! I'm not going to let one single Troq ruin my whole empire!
Robin whispers to himself.
Robin: You can do it Starfire, we all believe in you.
Exterior: Space, near Cention.
Starfire has almost arrived at Cention with a fleet of ships on her tail.
Pilot #1: She's heading for forbidden space, should we follow her?
Pilot #2: You heard what the General said, now do your job!
As Starfire reaches Cention the Crixies begin firing from the surface of the planet causing the Vernathians to be utterly shocked.
Pilot #1: Holy crap did you see that!?
Pilot #2: I think it's the Crixies, but Val-Yor told us he defeated them all by himself?
Pilot #1: Well screw the Troq; if we stop the Crixies we could win medals.
The Vernathians begin attacking the Locrix ships rising from the planet and completely ignore Starfire. The Crixies have no other choice but to defend themselves by attacking the Vernathians.
Exterior: Earth, Steel City, night.
Titans East are fighting the Locrix when the Locrix ships start flying off into space.
Aqualad: Umm…..did we win?
Bubble Bee: No, I think they're just needed elsewhere.
Exterior: Cention, day.
Starfire is flying at full speed down the surface of Cention toward the central power core. She's going so fast she bursts through the chests of some Crixies. She enters the building and sees the set of controls.
Interior: Central power core, day.
Starfire: Val-Yor's control panel. Maybe I can reprogram it.
Starfire flies over and begins working on the computer. When she isn't looking a hunter appears out from the floor behind the computer.
Starfire: All I have to do is just….NO!
The hunter grabs her arms and begins to try to rip her in half again. Without warning Starfire fires her eye blast into the face of the hunter, it stumbles back with a disfigured face letting go of her and begins to heal itself. Val-Yor's face appears on the screen while Starfire reprograms the system.
Val-Yor: There's nothing you can do Troq, even if you rewire the system I'll just reprogram it again from here.
Starfire is able to program the Locrix to be docile, stopping the hunter in its tracks and changing its eyes blue.
Starfire: I can do this!
Starfire then rips the module out of the ground with brute strength.
Val-Yor: NO!
The monitor goes black and the Locrix ships stop firing at the Vernathians.
Exterior: Space, near Cention.
Pilot #1: Why have they stopped firing?!
Pilot #2: Who cares, lets just use it to our advantage.
The Vernathians wipe out all the Locrix ships in the area. Starfire flies up from the planet with the rest of the control panel in her hands.
Pilot #1: It's the Troq, let's take her out.
Starfire: It was I who stopped the Locrix!
Fleet Commander: Wait, hold your fire. You better be telling the truth Troq.
Starfire goes in front of the fleet commander's ship.
Starfire: General Val-Yor has been controlling the Locrix army to do his biding with this console.
Fleet Commander: Hmm….it is Vernathian technology, but how do I know you're not lying to us?
Starfire: Val-Yor has the same control panel hidden within his office.
Fleet Commander: You do realize that if this is just slander we will execute you for your crimes?
Starfire: I am willing to take any risk to save my friends.
Exterior: Vernathia, day
The Fleet Commander lands his craft and Val-Yor approaches him as he disembarks his ship.
Val-Yor: Were you able to kill or capture the Troq?
Fleet Commander: Yes we have the girl.
Val-Yor: Good, congratulations commander to another successful mission.
Val-Yor goes to shake the hand of the commander but is then shackled to hand cuffs.
Val-Yor: What is the meaning of this?!
Fleet Commander: The girl has told us everything Val-Yor.
Val-Yor: And what, you're going to trust a stupid Troq over me, your commanding officer!?
An officer exits the government building and approaches the commander.
Officer: Commander, the Tamaranian was correct, the general was behind the attacks the whole time. We found the hidden console and everything.
Fleet Commander: General, you are under arrest for war crimes against the people of Earth and your own people of Vernathia. What do you have to say for yourself?
Val-Yor: Vernathia could have ruled the whole universe; if it wasn't for her we could have had infinite power. But I guess I'm the only one who cares what happens to Vernathia.
Fleet Commander: Take him away, and release the other prisoners.
Interior: Prison chamber, day.
The doors open slowly. Beast Boy is so frightened he refuses to open his eyes.
Beast Boy: No, please don't kill me; I'm too young to die. I've never gotten drunk or lost my virginity.
Cyborg: Star?
Robin: Starfire! You did it, you stopped Val-Yor.
Beast Boy: Oh so were not going to die, I guess I shouldn't have said some of those things out loud.
Raven: Yeah, way too much information on your part.
Starfire: Friends, it is so good to see you all alive.
Starfire releases the Titans from their shackles.
Robin: We didn't doubt you for a second Star.
Raven: So what's going to happen to Val-Yor?
Starfire: He was given a life sentence for war crimes against his own people. He will spend the rest of his life in Vernathia's strongest prison.
Cyborg: Were just glad to see you in one piece Star, now let's go home.
Exterior: Space
The Titans are flying home onboard the T-ship.
Beast Boy: I can't wait to get home to my warm bed and sleep this whole thing off.
Cyborg: I'm happy were just leaving that place, I hated being there.
Starfire: I disagree Cyborg, people shouldn't be judged by their leaders but by the actions the common man takes. The people of Vernathia were not evil they were only corrupted by their government.
Robin: We should be proud of what we did Titans; we saved not one but three planets today.
Beast Boy: Yeah, we should celebrate. How about pizza, I'm buying?
Cyborg: Booyah!
The End...For Now...
The Titans Return in... "What Happens Now?"
