The Game Never Ends

The Girl's Turn

Three strong bolts of lighting struck the Titan Tower living room floor, and three boyish figures emerged suddenly out of the yellow glow. Robin, Cyborg, and Beast Boy of the Teen Titans appeared just as the lighting disappeared.

Beast Boy gave a loud sigh, and walked down to the couch, "Man, I'm so tired! Fighting Wildebeast then getting trapped in the jewel thingy then fighting the Master was exhausting!" he slumped down on the couch after his sentence, "I think I'll take a nap."

"Well, BB's right, time to hit the sack!" Cyborg yawned.

"Wait, where are the girls?" Robin asked suddenly.

Cyborg clasped his hands together like a speaker phone, "RAVEN! STAR! TERRA! WE'RE HOME!"

"Yeah girls, the boys are back!" Beast Boy jumped up and yelled into the house.

There was an echo that seemed to reverberate off the empty tower walls.

No answer.

"Search the Tower." Robin ordered.

The boys, now serious, obeyed without question. The three boys searched and searched all throughout the Tower. Looking under beads, in closets, in the bathrooms, even in Raven's room. But still with all their searching, they found no trace of the three Titan girls.

After sometime the boys reconvened in the Living room, worry evident on all their expressions.

"What if there were trouble right before we got back? Could they be fighting in the city?" Cyborg suggested hopefully.

"Yeah, it's a good chance." Robin said as he walked down to the computers below the large window screen, "We'll track down their homing devices from the computer and see where they-"

"Hello Heroes!" came a booming voice that suddenly echoed throughout the Tower.

Robin jumped back and prepared to fight, Beast Boy squealed and fell over himself, and Cyborg readied his sonic arm in surprise. All of them looked up at the screen, which was suddenly an image of the Master of Games himself, starring down at them all.

"Dude, we beat you!" Beast Boy pointed at him, shocked, "How did you-"

"I have told you before Heroes, I am the Master of Games! No one defeats me!" he boomed.

"What do you want?" Robin yelled back, cutting strait to the point.

"I want what you have taken from me, Heroes. Power. More power."

"You mean other's powers that you steal! Well, you're not going to get it, there's no way any more heroes will fight in your stupid games ever again!" Robin announced menacingly.

"Oh, but you are not the only ones with powers Heroes."

The image shifted from his face, to the room they had stood in but mere hours ago. All three boys gasped as they saw who was standing in their places now.

"The girls!" Cyborg shouted in alarm.

The image switched back to the face of the master, his yellow eyes glinting evilly back at them through the screen, his fanged teeth showing through whenever he uttered a word.

"Yes, heroes, I have taken your heroines!"

"Give them back to us, or we'll-" Robin threatened.

"What can you do, young champion? You are in a different dimension, there is no way for you to save them, or defeat me. Soon, they will fall one by one, and their powers will become my own, and I will truly be the Master of Games! And you, will watch as they fight, knowing what comes for them next. As punishment for trying to defeat me, I will force you to watch your friends fall, and become mine, and there is nothing you can do to save them!"

The boys watched the screen helplessly as the girls walked around the room, introducing themselves and talking of the exciting tournament yet to come. They were speechless, unsure of what to do, how to warn the girls...they would fall prey to the game just as they did, and they would be lost to the Master, and never to come home again.

"You see now, heroes, the game never ends!" laughter filled the speakers of the screen and echoed off the Tower walls, "I must leave you now, Heroes to attend to your friends. Please, enjoy the show."

Suddenly communication with the Master broke off, and the screen switched to four different views spread across the screen of the same scene. Starfire, Terra, and Raven stood together, their lips moving, but was unauidiable to the boys. A few other girls scattered the ground, all moving from person to person, either sizing up the competition or introducing themselves.

"Master!" Robin called out to the villain.

When there was no reply, Robin watched the four screens and growled in anger.

"Cyborg, I want you working on trying to get a signal to them."

"On it." Cyborg replied shortly, already typing madly into the computer.

"Beast Boy-" he paused for a second, "watch the screens and update us on what's happening."

"Right." The green teen said importantly and sat down on the couch, watching the screen diligently.

Robin flipped open the communicator, "Starfire, to you read me?"

The communicator crackled in reply.

"Raven?"

More static.

"The communicators are useless," he threw it to the floor as he spoke, and turned to Cyborg, "have you got anything yet?"

"No, I can't even get a transmit location to tap into! All frequencies are just cut off in that place! There's no way to get a signal in or out."

Robin growled and slammed his fist on the table, "That's not good enough! We have to-"

"Rob, cool it man!" Cyborg tried to calm him down.

"Don't you understand? The girls are in danger! If we can't warn them-"

"Dude, I'm pretty sure they'll be okay." Beast Boy cut in, "I mean, we kinda figured it out right?"

Robin glowered at him, "No, we didn't. And I almost lost you two because I was being a stupid, competitive jerk-"

"Well, the girls aren't that competitive, Rob." Cyborg added, "and hopefully they'll be able to figure it out sooner than we did."

"Hopefully?" Robin spat the word, "We can't rely on hope to save our friends. What if they don't figure it out?"

"Give a little more credit to our girls, man."

"Yeah, they're like way smarter than us-sometimes." Beast Boy amended.

"But they're in danger!"

"They can take care of themselves." Cyborg confidently stated, "Besides, they're in an alternate dimension, there is no possible way I can reach them, just like when we were in there, I couldn't reach anyone here."

"So are you suggesting that we just sit here and do nothing while they're in danger?" Robin accused.

Cyborg opened his mouth to retort, but Beast Boy cut in.

"We could watch them fight! Dudes it'll be so cool, it'll be like wrestle mania, except we know them so it'll be even cooler to watch-" He said eagerly, then piped up when he saw Robin's angry face,"I mean-we can't do anything right? So why not watch to keep an eye on their progress...?"

Beast Boy laughed nervously.

"Yeah!" Cyborg chimed in enthusiastically, "I'll get the popcorn!"

"We should be trying to help them!" Robin stated sternly, "Not sitting here enjoying it!"

"Chill out dude, take a drink." Cyborg shoved a soda in his hand, "Have a seat, and think of it as an action movie, starring our girls!"

Robin stared from the drink to Cyborg, to Beast Boy (who were both awaiting his permission with large smiles on their faces), and then to the tv screen. He took a deep breath and sighed in defeat.

"Fine. I guess it couldn't hurt to watch."

"YES!" Beast Boy threw fists into the air, "I can't wait to see Terra kick some butt!"

"I'm calling the rest of the boys over! Slapping some ribs on the BBQ! This is gonna be a party!" activating the communicator on his arm, Cyborg called the boys they had just seen moments ago. Only Speedy and Aqualad answered his call.

"Hey ya'll! Guess what? you better get your butts over here, cause it's the girl's turn!"

Robin sighed again, ever the serious one in the situation. A dark look crossed his expression as he watched the screen, his eyes fixed on his team mates who were completely unaware of what they had just gotten into.
