Titan Wars IV: A New Hope

Ch. 1: Getting Started

Not quite so long ago, in a place not very far away…

The Teen Titans have split up in order to evade capture by the Brotherhood of Evil, Slade's new empire. A group of rebels led by Starfire have stolen the plans to the particle beam, the ultimate weapon of destruction that could take out an entire city. The Empire's agents now pursue the rebels and Starfire must avoid capture in her base if they are to use the plans to restore freedom.

Cyborg and his friend Fixit were trying to keep the defenses up on their newly constructed base. The enemy was drawing nearer and there was a lot more of them.

"Aw man," complained Cy, "They've broken through and I just finished this base!"

"I'm sure they can be stopped, Cyborg," said Fixit.

A loud explosion was heard.

"We're doomed," stated Cyborg.

A group of rebels in their white uniforms (like on 'Divide and Conquer') prepared to face the enemy. The door blew open and Slade-bots poured in firing at everything in sight.

The rebels fell back to the advancing machine army. Cyborg and Fixit ducked down a corridor as a familiar figure stepped through the threshold. It was Terra.

She paused to look at the fallen bodies of the rebels without so much as a smile and then walked on. The two cyborgs found Starfire in the hallway they hid in.

Cy kept a lookout while Star handed the plans to Fixit.

"Keep them safe, friend, while I distract the Slade-bots," she said.

"But how will you escape?" asked Fixit.

"I will be fine. Do not worry. Just get those plans to our main base."

"Let's move it guys," said Cy, "They're coming."

Cy started to walk off, but Fixit grabbed him and pried open his head.

"Hey, what are you doin'?"

Fixit placed a chip inside Cyborg's head and placed the cover back on. Cy gave him a weird look and they went on. Fixit led them to the garage where the T-Car awaited them.

"What about Star?" asked Cy.

"She's not coming. She's protecting us so we can escape," replied Fixit.

"But she has the plans. That's great! They won, we lost!"

"Actually, she gave me the plans and I placed the chip in your head."

"Are you nuts?"

"Just drive while we have a chance."

"Where to, smart guy?"

"The last place they'd look. Steel City."

Cyborg started up the T-Car and drove off. Then the wheels drew in and the car floated over the water to the city they would eventually come upon.

Inside the base however, a rebel was being interrogated by Terra. She had him held in the air by a hand made of stone. It was constantly squeezing tighter by the second. A Slade-bot came up to Terra.

"The plans are not in the main computer," it said.

"Where are those transmissions you intercepted?" she demanded of the rebel, "Where are those plans?"

"We didn't intercept any transmissions. We're here on diplomatic purposes," he replied.

"Then where's the ambassador?" she coolly replied.

Finally, the rock hand squeezed so hard the rebel was crushed. She became frustrated and threw the body across the room. She then turned to the Slade-bots.

"Tear this ship apart until you find the plans," she ordered, "If there are any Titans here, I want them alive!"

A few Slade-bots came down the very corridor Starfire was hiding in. They spotted her.

"There's one. Stun her."

Star fired starbolts at the machines, but was hit and fell. They dragged her along until she came too and slapped a power inhibitor on her wrist. They pushed her forward until she was face to face with a familiar former Titan. See-More stood by Terra's side.

"Terra," Star said, "The senate will not allow you to do this. When they find out you have attacked a base that was purely diplomatic…"

"Don't play innocent with me, Star," Terra interrupted, "This was no mercy mission. Just another Titan lie to cover up the fact that you stole plans from the Empire."

"I do not know what you are talking about. I am part of the senate as an ambassador from Tamaran now. The Titans have broken up."

"You are a rebel nonetheless and a traitor to the Empire. Take her away!"

Star was pulled away by the Slade-bots and Terra went off in the other direction.

"Holding her is risky, Terra," said See-More, "If the senate finds out they'll get all sympathetic to the rebels."

"She's my only link to the rebel spies and the other Titans."

"She'll die before she tells you anything."

"Leave that to me," Terra replied with a twisted smirk, "Send a distress signal and make it look like the base was wiped out."

"No prob, boss lady," See-More saluted.

Private HIVE came from around the corner and approached Terra.

"Terra, the plans are not in the base and no transmissions were made. A car got past us though. We couldn't really make out who was in it, but we know it went east, ma'am."

"The T-Car," Terra drawled, "Either someone was driving it or it was being operated from somewhere else. Either way the plans must be in the car. Send a troop to hunt down the car and retrieve those plans. See to it personally, Private. There'll be no one to stop us this time!"

Private HIVE saluted and went off. Terra gave a cruel looking grin as she thought that everything was coming together. Soon the Titans would be hers.

Later

The T-Car arrived at the former Titans East Tower. Well, technically it was still the tower, but it was left unattended for quite some time and fell into disrepair. The two friends stepped inside and thought of what to do next.

"What now?" asked Cyborg, "We've got the plans, but if we take off we could be spotted. Everything's hopeless."

Fixit was about to say something, but someone beat him to it.

"Haven't you learned to never give up hope yet?" asked a voice.

Cy turned quickly with his sonic cannon ready to fire. To his surprise though the voice came from someone who was no threat. It was Raven and Beast Boy was with her, of course. They heard about the attack and came to the tower as fast as possible.

"When we saw the news we knew something was up," said Raven.

"We figured if anyone got away they'd come here," added Beast Boy.

"Good call," replied Cy, "It's great to see ya'll."

"We have the plans from the particle beam hidden in Cyborg's head," said Fixit.

"No one will look there," said BB, "Cy's head is empty as it is."

BB laughed at his own joke, but no one else did.

"Enough joking around," said another voice, "We've got work to do."

Everyone turned to see none other than Robin.

"What are you doing here?" asked Cy bitterly.

"I've come back now that my training is complete," Rob replied, "Now what's the plan?"

"We're trying to figure that out, okay?" BB replied.

"Well," started Cy, "We've got the plans so we should take them back to the main base."

"Where is it?" asked Robin.

"Somewhere in South America. Brazil I think. Once the plans are analyzed we can shut down that big nasty weapon the Brotherhood Empire made."

"Well you can't just stroll down the road can you?" Raven quipped.

"Let's go to Metropolis and regroup," suggested Beast Boy.

"They won't expect us there," added Raven.

"Good idea," replied Robin, "We'll rest up there and further our plan. Where's Star by the way?"

"She was captured," said Fixit.

Robin's eyes narrowed at the statement.

"We'll get her back no matter what it takes," Rob said, "Let's go!"

With that, Rob mounted his R-Cycle and the others piled into the T-Car. The mission to save Star and bring down the Brotherhood had begun, and this time the Titans would do it together.
