Notes: Now here's an idea

The Robot Titans
Ch. 1: It starts…
It was a dark night in Jump City as the H.I.V.E. was plotting a way to defeat the Titans. While four of the H.I.V.E. Five were going over ideas, Gizmo was tinkering with a new program on his computer.
"Hey," said Mammoth, "Stop messin' with that thing and think of a way to crush the Titans."
"This will beat the Titans, ape face," Gizmo shot back, "I'm creating a new program on this video game disk so that when the Titans play it, they'll be the ones destroying the city while we watch and laugh."
"So what game is it?" asked See-More.
"Mega Man Anniversary Collection," replied Gizmo as he placed the game in a box addressed to the Titans.
T-E-E-N T-I-T-A-N-S
The next day, everyone was already up and about at Titans Tower. Cyborg was making waffles, Raven was drinking herbal tea, Beast Boy made tofu bacon, and Starfire was watching T.V. with Robin. Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"I'll get it, dudes," said Beast Boy as he made his way.
He opened the door and saw a package on the ground. BB read the note attached.
"Dear Titans, please accept this brand new gamestation game for defending the city."
He looked on the back.
"It doesn't say who it's from, but what game is it?"
He ran inside with it. "Hey Cy, look what we got. A new game."
"Well open it!" Cy shouted.
Beast Boy placed it on the floor and opened the package to see…
"Dude! It's the Blue Bomber!"
"Who?" asked Raven only to get a stare from everyone.
"You know, Mega Man," replied Beast Boy.
"Even I knew that, Raven," said Starfire.
"Get that game started," ordered Robin.
"One order I don't mind takin' from ya," replied Cyborg.
He grabbed the game and inserted it into the console as BB gripped the controller. As the game began everyone just stared as Beast Boy began to play Mega Man 7.
"Here I come, Robot Masters," he said as he made his way through the level, blasting enemy machines, dodging obstacles, and getting past the gates to the boss.
"This shouldn't be too hard," BB said with confidence.
Just then, as the vampire Robot Master called Shade Man came onto the screen, BB began to feel funny. He merely sat in a daze as he was quickly defeated.
"Man BB," said Cyborg, "I didn't think you stank that much."
"I just lost concentration that's all. I have to lie down."
Beast Boy then ran to his room. As he did, the others could have sworn they saw a tail coming out of him. They ignored it and decided they would finish breakfast first.
T-E-E-N T-I-T-A-N-S
Later that day, Beast Boy still hadn't emerged from his room.
"Okay," said Cyborg, "Now I'm kinda worried about him."
"We must check on our friend," added Starfire.
They all made their way to Beast Boy's room. They stopped outside the door and knocked. There was silence. Then there came a voice from the room.
"Enter if you must."
The door seemed to open on its own as the team went inside the dark room.
"Man, why is it so dark in here?" asked Cy.
"Because I prefer the dark," came the voice again.
They looked up to see Beast Boy was standing on the top bunk of his bed. Though it was him who spoke, his voice sounded far more creepy and sinister.
"Are you okay, Beast Boy?" asked Robin.
"Never better," he replied jumping down to the floor, "I've had a bit of a change since this morning."
They got a good look at Beast Boy to see that his hands appeared to be claws, his feet were shoeless and had two toes pointing forward and one backward, his ears larger and pointier, his outfit had the same colors but more like a suit with an upturned collar, a demonic tail, slicked back hair, his nose more sharp, and his eyes with pupils that were slits like a cat's.
"What's the matter?" asked the altered Beast Boy.
"What has happened to you, friend?" asked Star.
"Oh, must we complicate everything with pointless questions? Oh Beast Boy, what's with your clothes, your new look, your want of darkness, those wings on your back." "What wings?" asked Cy.
Suddenly, a pair of enormous bat wings emerged from Beast Boy's back.
"Oh those wings."
"Don't forget the fangs," added BB as he opened his mouth revealing two animalistic canines emerging.
"You should be thankful Raven," BB said, "I'm more like you now. Not Yin and Yang, but two creatures of the night. Oh, and there's one more thing that's changed. I no longer crave tofu. Now I only want your blood."
"About time," said Cyborg, "Wait what?"
"I am going to drain you of your blood be you human, alien, half robot, or half demon. I always wanted to put a bite mark on that lovely neck of yours Raven. Pity it will kill you in the process."
"Beast Boy," said Raven sounding slightly irritated and a tad nervous, "Is this another stupid joke?"
"Oh, I'm afraid I'm dead serious. By the way, don't call me Beast Boy. I am now Shade Boy."
"That sounds kinda lame," replied Cyborg.
"You won't be laughing when I've drained both sides of your body of any kind of fluid. Now then, you should all start running now."
The former Titan sprang at them baring his fangs. They all ran out into the living room where the lights were also turned out.
"Oh man," said a worried Cyborg, "He's cut the power."
"He could be anywhere so be careful," cautioned Robin.
"Over here."
The Titans looked around for where the voice seemed to be coming from. Just then, Star felt something drip on her arm. She looked up and screamed. Shade Boy was hanging upside down from the ceiling. Robin on instinct threw a birdarang, but Shade Boy dropped to easily evade it. He then flew around the room.
"It could be worse,' said Cyborg, "He could have a weapon."
"Did someone say weapon?" questioned Shade Boy as his left hand formed into a blaster. "Hey, how did he do that?!" shouted Cyborg.
"Shut up and run you fool. Noise Crush!"
A sound wave blast shot out from the blaster at Cyborg, knocking him down. Shade Boy proceeded to blast even more. Robin saw a sound wave headed his way and grabbed a mirror to reflect it back at Shade Boy. The wave hit him, but then he began to glow.
"Idiot, when my attack bounces back to me it is charged up and becomes stronger."
He then fired at Robin sending him flying. Shade Boy gave a sinister chuckle at the beating the Titans were getting. Starfire was about to blast him, but he sent out a cloud from his eyes that turned her to stone.
"Starfire!" cried Robin.
"Don't worry, your girlfriend's little problem is, unfortunately, only temporary," explained Shade Boy.
Raven used her powers to get behind him to attack, but he quickly spun around and blew her away with a huge flap of his wings, knocking her to the ground.
"Now I'm bored. I await the time when you might present a real challenge. Until then."
He gave a bow, then broke through the window, flying away somewhere into the city.
