Alright, this is will be a… more than interesting story. A lot of psychological warfare, and physical warfare, and a lot of heavy themes. Actually, depending on where this goes, the rating might change to M. Anyways, onto the show.

(Titans Tower, 3:00 AM. Raven POV)

I walked around the tower, unable to sleep. I tried everything. I tried remaking the bed, reading, drinking tea, Moby Dick (A/N: A joke. A funny one at that), even tiring myself out with one of Robin's training instructions, but it was no use. I couldn't fall back to sleep. So instead, I decided to wander onto the couch with a book until morning.

After an hour, I heard small sounds coming from the computer screen. The Titan alert.

"What idiot would cause a crime at 3 in the morning?" I asked myself, rubbing my eyes when the red light turned on. I shut off the alert in an effort to not wake up the others, than looked what happened. Apparently there's a suspicious signal coming from an office building at the other side of town. Well, it's not like I have anything better to do. I quickly put on my cloak and exited the tower, leaving a note before I left.

(Other side of town, unknown POV)

"The Titans have made their first move. The bishop has left the vicinity."

"…"

"The game has begun."

(Titans Tower, 8:00 AM.)

A small green boy walked out of the doorway of the Titans Living Room with a yawn. There was a warm and distant smile on his face once he saw some tofu on a plate next to him. He picked up the white block of soy and sat down while taking a bite out of it. He slowly grabbed the mysteriously stain covered remote and turned the huge TV on, flipping the channels. After rejecting the 50th channel, a small slip of paper flew from the bottom of the TV and onto his face. The teen took the paper off of his face and began to read it:

There was an alert. I'll be back as late as tomorrow night.

-Raven

Beast Boy smiled, than frowned. Then tried to do both at the same time, and failed. After throwing the letter behind the couch, he continued to flip through the channels until Robin came down. The leader automatically noticed something was off.

"Where's Raven? She's usually awake before any of us." Robin asked. Beast boy yawned then answered.

"She got an alert and went by herself. Said she'd be back by tomorrow." Robin nodded than roamed through the fridge.

(Robin POV)

A few minutes later, the other two Titans came down going about their normal activities (Video Games, odd Tamaranian dishes, etc.). Then, MY computer vibrated, signaling a new email. I decided to just ignore it and move on with my day. Then there was another vibration. And another. And another. Soon there was an email every second. I finally realized that they wouldn't stop coming and I had to get this checked out. I opened his email to see almost 50 emails from the same person, and counting. Crap…what the hell is happening? Better call an expert.

"Hey, Cyborg? Can you check something out?" I asked turning around to see him eating a full sub in one bite. He nodded then came up to look at the computer.

"What's up?"

"100 emails from one person, and they keep coming."

"Maybe it's just a spam. Did you read 'em?" I shook my head and clicked on the mail. The first few read:

Game

Game starting

Would you like to play, Grayson?

Bishop

Bishop captured

Kill Bishop

Bishop released

Bishop retired

Cyborg and I stared at the other remaining messages. They were mostly a lot of terms from different games, but they all had one thing in common. They all asked me to play. After reading the others, we stared at each other, than back at the computer.

"Still think it's a spam?" I asked smartly.

"Well, if it ain't a spam, than it's a code." Cyborg answered slightly annoyed and confused. Than we both heard something we didn't expect. Silence. There were no more vibrations coming out of the computer.

"Friends, what are you talking about?" Star asked from behind, making us both jump. Just then, there was another vibration, as I quickly shuffled to read the email:

Sorry about that, Boy Wonder. My associate can go a bit crazy, even on email. But let me translate what he was saying. It's a game, Robin. Not a simple game, but one you cannot deny. Chess, but not Chess. There are no rules to this game, only to make a move. Do you accept? Oh yeah, it doesn't matter. Because we made our first move. What's yours?

"First move…?" I repeated the contents of the email in my head hundreds of times. They captured our bishop. Or is it the other way around? No, that's impossible. We haven't even started yet.

"What'cha doing?" Beast Boy asked, quickly reading over the e-mail. "What, we're gonna play Chess with someone?" Cyborg looked at him with confused eyes.

"Bro, how would you ever come to THAT conclusion?" Cyborg asked. The green boy just shrugged and went back to sipping his coffee.

"Robin, what is a 'bishop'?" Star asked me after a few seconds.

"It's a piece in a game called chess, Star. I don't know who would be called a bishop, though. They're obviously using different pieces of code to confuse us. Whoever they are…" I explained. I could tell Starfire was still confused. Chess…but not chess. Yeah, I'm as confused as she is. I looked through the other emails. They all had something about "bishop", "taken", and "moves". At a loss for ideas, I decided the only thing to do is find whoever wrote this…and the bishop.

"Titans. I think the best plan of action is to search the city. We'll split up and report anything we find." They all nodded and stood up. "Titans, go!" (A/N: Sorry, I've always wanted to write that.).

(5 minutes later, Jump City.)

I saw Starfire fly the opposite direction as the other two went their separate ways. I ran my way, looking for any clues or signs that would relate to the current problem. Little did I know someone was watching me.

Everything was normal. I checked almost all of the city for anything out of the ordinary. Nothing. Just people minding their own business. I turned on my communicator.

"Anything to report, Titans?" I asked.

"No, Robin." Starfire answered.

"Nope," Beast Boy answered.

"Notta." Cyborg said. I sighed a deep sigh. Shit…

I saw an elder looking lady fall on her back suddenly, dropping her bag and walker. I rushed to go and help her up, crouching down and giving her a hand. She willingly took it, pulling herself back on her walker.

"T-thank you, young boy." The lady said with a smile.

"It's fine, just be more careful." I said, almost running away as she grabbed my arm. I looked at her with a strange face.

"Please, boy. Let me repay you." She pleaded, rummaging through her bag. I held up my arms to stop her.

"No, it's fine, Lady. I couldn't take your money." I said with a nervous smile. HER smile grew wider and wider.

"Please boy, let me repay you." She repeated.

"Um, Ms..."

"Let me repay you." Just then, I heard a very unpleasant and loud sound. An explosion. I looked up to the building that exploded, smoke appearing off the top. The smoke started to form into letters.

'It's your move, Titans.' It read. I looked at it in wide eyes. People were running from the explosion as my communicator went crazy.

"What the hell was that?!"

"Robin, where the heck are you?!"

"ROBIN!"

I looked for the old woman, but she was nowhere in sight. That was their move. They were stalling.

"Titans! Save all the victims and pick up any bodies! JUST GO!" I yelled into the communicator while I ran towards the explosion.

(Beast Boy POV)

I flew towards the smoking building in the form of a pterodactyl. Another explosion went on within the building. Crap! They've got us right where they want us…I think. But we've got no choice but to save anyone in there. I flew through the glass window and into the building, shaping myself into a dog. There was fire everywhere, hiding my view. Except for one thing. A piece of dark clothing. I jumped through the flames to get to the other side. What I found was horrific. I quickly changed back into a human.

"Um…guys?" I requested.

"What is it , Beast Boy?! How many bodies?!" Robin yelled through the communicator.

"Only one…and it's someone we know." I answered.

"Who is it?" Starfire asked.

"Well, I'll just say one thing. I think Raven was the bishop!" I cried, tears streaming down my eyes as I stared at an injured and blood stained Raven.

So, how was that? Hopefully you guys like it. Tell me if you do in the reviews. I really respect everyone's opinion, so go ahead! Alright, see ya next time guys!
