Ch.1 The Invitation
"Titans take em!" Robin shouted as he crashed down on Dr. Light feet first, they were fighting in the city docks, the police had given them a tip that Dr. Light might be trying to steal some gold that was being loaded into the piers, the tip was true.
Dr. Light was sent flying into the air and landed with a crash on the cold hard concrete. Rubbing his head he struggled to get to his feet when one of Starfire's bolts crashed into his body and hurled him into a brick wall. Growling in anger Dr. Light dodged a barrage of Robin's boomerangs and shot several rounds of energy at Starfire and Robin. Seeing that Starfire was in danger Robin leapt forward and covered her under his cape. Robin braced himself and held on to Star when he felt the blasts of energy hit him
Because the fabric was stronger than steel the blasts were deflected back at Dr. Light, realizing what had just happened Dr. Light leapt to the side to dodge the blasts only to have Cyborg's sonic blast crash into his body and nearly knock him off his feet.
"I will not be defeated, I will not be!" Dr. Light vowed.
Dr. Light raised his hands to fire, when suddenly his wrists were covered in a black aura and all of the circuits and wires in his suit were shut down. Light turned and his eyes widened in terror when he saw Raven chanting her famous incantation and her eyes glowing white. Before he had time to even react Dr. Light felt what had to be a sledgehammer fell on top of his cranium. All Light saw was a giant green gorilla standing over him before his world faded to black.
Light fell limply to the floor and Beast Boy morphed back into his human form. Robin knelt down and placed handcuffs on the criminal's hands. Beast Boy let out a sigh of relief when he did,
"Dude I am so glad that is over, I gotta get back to watch my show!" He chirped.
Flashes of red and blue confirmed the arrival of the police, the squad car pulled up next to the teen heroes and blue uniformed cops stepped out. They smiled when they saw the titans and nodded when Robin pointed to Light. One officer stood Light up while the other opened the door and allowed the other to slide the unconscious villain in. Robin watched as the squad car sped off.
"Well we got some time on our hands what do you say we go into town?" Beast Boy suggested.
"Yeah I have to go into town anyway; I need parts for my car." Cyborg said.
"May we journey to the mall of shopping?" Starfire asked.
"Certainly Star." Robin responded.
Raven smiled when she saw Starfire's eyes light up, "Like a little girl without a care in the world." She thought.
"I parked the car behind those piers." Cyborg said pointing to some run down warehouses, "Thought they might make good cover in case Light was snooping around."
The titans followed Cyborg to the spot where he had parked, sure enough behind some rusty crates and barrels the T-car sat gleaming in the sunlight.
"Just polished it." Cyborg declared proudly.
"Didn't he say that yesterday and the day before?" Raven thought to herself.
Beast Boy was the last to walk past the crates when he felt a hand grab onto his shoulder, his eyes widened in surprise.
"Excuse me are you-"
"AAAAAIIIIIEEEEE!" Was the response.
Hearing Beast Boy the other titans got into their combat stances and faced whoever it was. Beast Boy broke away from the hand and morphed his hand into a bear claw, ready to rip whoever it was to shreds.
"Whoa whoa I don't want any trouble now." The voice said.
A young man in his thirties dressed in a business suit stepped out from behind the crates with his hands in front of him. His sharp facial features and solid physique made it clear that he came from an Asian background.
"Who are you?" Beast Boy asked not setting his claw down.
"Relax I'm not a spy or anything I just want to talk." The man stated.
"Talk about what?" Robin asked walking towards the man.
"I'm here to invite you and your friends to a little tournament." The man said.
"Tournament?" Robin repeated.
The man nodded, "You are the Teen Titans the most awesome super hero team of all time, your fame has caught the attention of several very powerful business men and they want to invite you to a fighting tournament that is taking place in a island in the Indian ocean, pretty close to Japan."
"I dislike fighting for sport." Starfire said.
"Don't worry, medics are always near the ring and if anyone gets hurt they will taken care of." The man responded.
"Will other martial artists be there?" Robin asked with growing interest.
"The best of the best." The man replied.
"Is a resort located on the premises?" Beast Boy asked.
"A five star hotel complete with hot tube, indoor pool, and buffet." The man responded.
"And there is an ancient fortress on the island that was said to be the resting place of a powerful demon lord." The man continued, "Ancient symbols are all over the walls and hieroglyphics of Ancient China give hints to what could have been black magic."
"Really now?" Raven asked with growing interest.
"And there are many historical sights on the island also." The man stated.
Starfire's eyes lit up with excitement and interest.
"What's the prize if we win?" Asked Cyborg.
"The grand prize is millions of dollars worth in gold." The man answered truthfully.
Cyborg started drooling, "Just imagine the modifications I can make to the tower and the T-car with that amount!"
The man smiled slyly when he saw that he had their full attention, he pulled out a scroll with a circle encasing a dragon on it.
"So are you guys in or out?" He asked.
"What do you guys think?" Robin asked turning to his friends.
"I'm in!" Beast Boy shouted.
"Count me in too." Cyborg added.
"So am I." Starfire said.
"Martial arts masters watch out!" Robin said.
Raven was the only one who didn't say anything, the man frowned when he saw this.
"She's going to spoil everything!" He thought bitterly.
"Well Raven what do you say?" Beast Boy asked her.
"We just can't leave the city!" She said, "It would be abandoning our duties as heroes!"
"Rest assured you will be only gone a week and from the looks of it the city is free of crime. If anything does happen then the police will take care of it, come on you guys work night and day keeping this place safe you deserve a little time off." The man said regaining his cheerful attitude.
"He he this will get her for sure." He thought.
"Yeah come on Raven we could afford to take a week off." Beast Boy said in a whiney voice.
Beast Boy flashed Raven a sad doggy face look, she let out a sigh and then responded.
"Fine I'm in too."
"Excellent!" the man said handing Robin the scroll.
"Everything you need is written there, a ship will arrive in three days show them this and they will let all of you aboard, see you guys at the tournament!" The man said merrily.
He turned to leave and he could hear the teens shouts of excitement, if only they would have seen the evil and sadistic smile on the mans face.
"The fools don't expect a thing! Even the mighty Teen Titans have simple and childish minds!" He said to himself as he walked into an alley.
"Dude we just booked ourselves the vacation of a lifetime!" Beast Boy shouted.
"We'll need to go home and pack." Robin said.
"I hope they have shopping centers there!" Starfire said in a dreamy tone.
"I'm hoping to learn some new spells." Raven added.
"Well come on y'all those bags won't pack themselves!" Cyborg shouted as he brought the car around and the titans climbed into their seats.
None of them suspected the horror and hellish nightmares that awaited them. The business man laughed aloud when he reached the end of the alley.
"The fools don't suspect a thing!" He said aloud.
In a flash his suit was torn off, and his flesh morphed, his hair changed color and his bones twisted and grew. Within seconds a menacing figure dressed in a night black trench coat stood in the business mans place. Scars decorated his face and his goatee and mane of hair hung loosely around his shoulders. His eyes were as bright and as hypnotizing as fire, but at the same time as cold and as terrifying as death.
The man looked towards the heavens and said in a horrid voice, "So it has begun once more."
