Chapter 1: Scenes of Madness

A lone mysterious figure sat in the darkness, looking at several screens in front of him. His eyes did not seem to move or blink as he stared continuously at the monitors. It was almost as if he was entranced by them; the screens holding some sort of hypnotic power over him. He continued to stare, especially as Titans Miami were doing battle with a villain known as Killer Croc.

Meanwhile…

Miranda, the Titans Miami contortionist heroine Laska, bounced around from the reptilian scaled villain. She cackled,

"Miss me! Miss me!"

Killer Croc screamed,

"STAND STILL AND DIE!"
He rushed her, but she acrobatically twisted out of the way.

Grace, the Asian powerhouse, stormed in,

"HANDS OFF, YOU WALKING SUITCASE!"
She slammed a powerful blow to Killer Croc's face. However, Croc had hard skin, and the blow was hardly felt by either one. Croc reared his claws and tried to swipe at Grace. Grace cried out a little as some of the reptilian villain's claws did manage to cut her.

Headway called out telepathically,

My telepathy is not helping. He is reverting to his animal nature.

Haroud; the new hero and former Hellion Jetstream, shook his head,

"Terrific."

He flew in position and launched an energy beam from his arm cannon and it was a direct hit to the large lizard. Grace growled,

"Godzilla over here is going down!"
She wound up another punch and landed it in Croc's jaw. The powerful uppercut caused Croc to loose a few of his fangs. Black Condor, the avian flying Titans Miami member, threw two knives into both knees, incapacitating Croc in his place. Killer Croc screamed monstrously as he was knocked out by one of Grace's punches.

Meanwhile…

The mysterious figure looked on, seemingly unaffected with any emotional response. He thought to himself,

This will be an interesting challenge.
