After years of reading fanfics here (and not once leaving a review... sorry), I have finally gotten enough courage to write one of my own. I've had this story in my head ever since I first watched 'The End' parts one, two and three. It's undergone a lot of changes, and this version I think is the best. I hope you like this story, because I've worked hard on it.

Disclaimer: The Teen Titans animated series is not in my ownership. Neither do I own any of the characters in this story, except the villain of this chapter and the boy mentioned at the end. I also do not own Ice Age.

Chapter 1:

DOMINATION

It was another ordinary day in Jump City. For the last few days, not a single robbery, kidnapping, bomb threat or even vandalism had happened within the city. Ever since Trigon's defeat, fewer villains dared to commit crimes while the city was under the watchful eyes of the Teen Titans. But of course, the fight against evil never ends, and every so often, a new villain rears his clueless, ugly head.

As the Jump City citizens proceeded with their normal carefree lives that Saturday morning, the ground began to tremble. Small rocks danced on the ground, and car alarms were set off. Right after a particularly paranoid man shouted, 'Earthquake!' everyone panicked, and ran in all directions. People flooded out of buildings, following 'standard' earthquake procedure.

But then all of a sudden, the cause of the quake, a huge runaway cargo train, turned a corner and charged through the street, swaying sideways uncontrollably. Each time it swayed too much toward one side, it hit a building and swayed toward the other side. The train snaked its way through the street and would have gone straight into the bay if it weren't stopped.

Then, a redheaded alien girl flew right in front of the train and tried to stop it, but could not, until a green falcon flew beside her and instantly morphed itself into a large bull elephant. The train rammed into the pachyderm, but the elephant was pushed along. The plan worked, and the train started to lose speed, but it would still fall into the harbor if it weren't decelerated further. Soon afterward the front of the train engine was engulfed by a strange black energy, and after several suspenseful seconds, the train came to a complete stop, only ten yards from plunging into the depths of Jump City Bay.

The Teen Titans assembled in front of the train. Robin and Cyborg had just arrived in the T-car and R-cycle, and were waiting for the train's operators to come out to make sure they were okay.

A barely audible cough came from the train. As the smoke from the damaged engine started to clear, a short and stout man could be seen examining the train's severely damaged wheels.

"I say, this damage is quite irreparable," the old man said, in a deep English accent.

The man was wearing a light brown safari outfit, with very short sleeves and equally short shorts. He even had a pair of binoculars hanging around his neck and a grayish moustache. His worn out boots seemed to be too small for his feet. Under his pith helmet he had gray hair that was obviously thinning. The flab around his arms flapped as he walked toward the Titans on his stubby little legs.

"Eeek!" Starfire screamed in disgust, she had never seen arms such as those possessed by the old man in front of her.

"Robin, why are those man's upper arms like the gelatin dessert we consumed earlier?"

Robin laughed inside his head at how the safari man's arms whipped around as he walked.

"Uh, Star," he whispered as he tried to hold down his laughter, "That's just what happens when someone doesn't get enough exercise… or gets a bit older."

Behind him, Beastboy and Cyborg were already telling jokes to each other about the man's flabby arms and age, and could hardly contain themselves, until Raven gave them an angry glare that quieted them down for a while.

The man stopped and took a pair of spectacles from his jacket's pocket, placing them in front of his eyes, but not actually wearing them.

"Ah yes!" he laughed heartily, "The Teen Titans! Jolly good show."

The Titans were still confused of the situation. Was he the only one on the train? And how did that huge cargo train get there in the first place?

"My name is Professor Martin Hill, but you may call me 'The Tamer', " he said with a cheery voice, "And now… let us fight."

The Titans were dumbfounded. Was this old little man a bad guy? Just then Beastboy and Cyborg erupted into laughter. The idea of them fighting the old man was absolutely ridiculous.

"I… hahaha… didn't know… haha… we were enemies… hahahaha… with Father Time!" shouted Beast Boy, trying his best not to suffocate from laughing.

"And I thought the ground was shakin'!" Cyborg joked as he pointed at the old man's still bouncing arm flab.

Robin and the girls didn't think their jokes were that funny (and Raven didn't think they were at all funny), but the two seemed to have been worked up by their little joking session a short while ago.

Professor Hills didn't get their jokes either, but he still felt insulted.

"Why you little…" yelled the self-proclaimed 'Tamer' as he grew red with rage, "…I'll show you…"

He then returned his spectacles into one pocket, took a small remote from his other and pressed a button.

Immediately, the doors on five of the boxcars behind him slid open and out of them came five huge beasts. One was a giant black gorilla, another was a monstrous black widow spider, the third was a giant gray pterodactyl, the next was a huge green snake, and towering over them all was a gigantic woolly mammoth. The five impossible creatures positioned themselves behind the Tamer, waiting for his command.

The Titans were again agape with shock. What happened was totally unexpected. The only sound to break their silence was Beast Boy's prolonged, "Duuuuuuude…"

"Well then Titans," said the Tamer as he used a small white handkerchief to wipe away some sweat on his cheeks, "Now you've stopped your horrible laughter and absurd insults…" He raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the Teen Titans.

"…ATTACK, MY PETS!"

All five creatures charged at the Titans, their hulking bodies making the ground shudder with each step.

It was then when Robin shouted out their overused battle cry.

"Titans go!"

The giant snake opened its jaws to display its foot-long fangs, and thrust its head at Robin. He jumped and landed on the snake's head, easily dodging the reptile's relatively sluggish strike, and ran along the length of the snake. The snake bent up its body, creating a handy ramp for Robin to leap from. Robin front flipped from the makeshift ramp, after which he turned around to face the beast. Immediately, he threw a freeze disk at the snake's head. On impact the resulting ice trapped the snake at its neck, but after some continuous wriggling, the crystal shattered and the creature chased after Robin, as if he were its prey.

Meanwhile, Cyborg fired several bursts from his arm's sonic cannon at the huge gorilla charging at him like a mad monkey. The sonic blasts directed at the gorilla's face bruised it a bit, but it continued its charge. Once it reached Cyborg it picked him up in its massive arms and was about to throw him to the ground, but was cut short by a concentrated burst on its shoulder from Cyborg's sonic cannon. The King Kong Klone dropped Cyborg and roared in pain.

"I'm not the damsel in distress!" Cyborg yelled at the gorilla as he landed on the ground and continued to brawl with the ape.

In the skies above, Starfire and the pterodactyl were engaging in a kind of aerial dance. They circled around in the air, trying to evade each other's attacks and at the same time attacking one another. Starfire threw volleys of starbolts at it while the pterodactyl pecked at her with its enormous, sharp beak.

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" Raven uttered, after which she sent a stop sign hurtling at the monstrous black widow spider. The steel object hit the spider with a 'thud', but the arachnid couldn't express its pain, so it merely turned around and sprayed silk at Raven from its behind. Raven was soon wrapped in spider silk. Struggling under the white cocoon, she lost her concentration and fell to the ground. The spider then slowly crawled toward the squirming Raven and prepared to lunge at her. Raven saw the spider's fangs, dripping with venom, and knew that she wouldn't survive a single bite from the bug. She quickly focused once more, and after speaking her mantra again, burst from the silken cocoon like a butterfly and rolled out of the way of the spider just in time.

At the same time, the woolly mammoth and a green triceratops had tusk and horn interlocked, each one pushing with all its might to make the other one fall over. However, it was clear that the mammoth, with its more massive body, was winning. Then, perhaps bored with how the battle was progressing, the mammoth picked up the dinosaur by its horns with an mammoth's cry and threw Beast Boy into a building. Chunks of cement collapsed over the triceratops, but a small green mouse escaped through cracks in the wreckage and ran in front of the woolly mammoth. The giant beast was disgusted by the sight in front of it, and reared up on its hind legs with a cry. But instead of running away like Beast Boy had hoped, the mammoth instead tried to crush the green mouse with its flat-bottomed feet. Squeaking, Beast Boy barely managed to escape from the mammoth.

As Beast Boy ran from the huge prehistoric creature, Robin had just finished off the snake with a kick to the head, cracking one fang and completely separating the other from the reptile's mouth. The snake lay lifeless on the ground, blood and venom trickling from its slightly open mouth. Robin then helped Starfire defeat the pterodactyl by throwing a birdarang to grapple the dinosaur. The birdarang wrapped its cord around the pterodactyl's beak, not only disabling the flying reptile's pecking ability but also allowing Robin, with the help of Starfire, to reel it down to the ground.

Cyborg also knocked out King Kong after a few dozen punches and sonic blasts, and Raven squished her arachnid enemy with a small truck. Beast Boy was the only one who hadn't been able to defeat his partner. Cyborg and Starfire had to barrage the mammoth with sonic blasts and starbolts to make it fall.

"Uhh…" said Beastboy after he morphed back to humanoid form, "Thanks guys. Never mention the movie Ice Age to me again."

"You can thank us later," Cyborg told him, "Right now we gotta deal with the 'Tater', or the 'Lamer', or whatever this guy calls himself."

They hadn't realized earlier that their foe went inside the train engine while they were fighting, and had now just gotten out with a cup of some hot beverage in his hand.

"That was… very quick," the Tamer said, his cheery demeanor lost, "Yes, that was very quick indeed."

"It's over Hills," Robin announced their victory, "Round up your circus animals and take them back to where they came from. You're going to prison."

"Prison? Me?" the stout old man said as he climbed a ladder up to the locomotive's roof, "I do not belong in such a place. And I still haven't shown you my most prized possession – an exotic specimen of an extremely rare creature, so rare that it is believed it is the only one of its kind."

"We can take on whatever you throw at us!" Beast Boy declared.

"As if you had any luck defeating that mammoth," Raven told him blankly.

"Ladies and gentlemen," the Tamer said, "May I present to you… X triple six."

He pushed another button on the remote and the train car just behind the engine seemed to have separated from the others and was moving on its own. The car stopped in front of the Titans, it's door facing them. Then the door slid open and glass cube floated out and landed in front of the five superpowered teenagers.

Inside the glass cage was not a beast, not a monster and certainly not an alien, but a teenage boy.

Just to clear things up, I have nothing against the British. I just thought an English accent would suit the villain. Anyway, the Tamer (which is a really weird name by the way) is a minor character in this fanfic.

I'll be posting the next chapter later. I've already written the whole story, but I'm still editing.

Please submit some reviews! I won't stop updating even if I don't get any, but knowing someone's reading this will really boost my self-esteem. I'll even promise to start giving reviews to the fanfics I read!
