(I have written over thirty nine fanfictions so far... and as my fourtieth, I shall let myself write another chapter story.
And for you fans looking forward to Teenage Syndicate... my sister is as lazy as heck. Sorry!)
"Excuse me sir?" Robin stared at the police chief. He had been called from the tower to go to the station, and what he heard was shocking. "You heard me. We need as many heroes as possible to guard this." "What is so important that you need to take titans away from defending their cities!" Robin yelled.
The Police Chief sighed. "I'm not allowed to say. Here is the thing though: if its as bad as my superiors say, we are going to have our hands full. Our sources say that in the criminal underground, whoever captures the... power that is being transported will receive one hundred thousand dollars, and maybe even more. That means our criminal friends will jump this. Robin, I hate to do this, but its an order."
Robin sighed. "Fine. I'll make a couple calls." "Thank you."
Somehow, Robin managed to round up fifteen titans. His team, Titan's East, Kid Flash, Jinx, Kole, Jericho, and The Herald.
Jinx tapped her foot impatiently. "So how long are we going to have to watch this stupid truck?" She growled. "Till it reaches its destination." Robin said. "What's even inside it is my question." Kid Flash asked. "We don't know. Believe me, I'll find out." Robin growled, getting annoyed with the questions.
The truck began to pull out of the laboratory where they had picked up the mysterious object. "Alright, remember your orders. Unless I say otherwise, do not go against them." Robin ordered, hopping on the R-Cycle.
The orders were as follows: Kid Flash would be 'jogging' up on the right side of the truck and Mas Y Menos would be 'jogging' on the left. The T-Car which would have Cyborg, Jericho, Herald, Kole, and Jinx in it would be up front. The R-Cycle would be driving behind. The flyers, Raven, Starfire, Beast Boy (as a bird), and Bumblebee would be circling up above. Speedy would be on his new motorcycle (he was still coming up with a name for it) up a while ahead, and he'd be riding with Aqualad. (The two attempted to protest but stopped when Bee's stingers crackled.)
It went okay for the first two miles. "Alright, spot anything yet, Speedy?" Robin asked into the communicator. "Nope, unless you count Fishstick's scent." He replied, which started the two arguing again. Bumblebee sighed and flipped open her communicator. "You two, shut up! Hold on a sec- Rob, check behind you. Our company's arrived."
A large black motorcycle began speeding up. "Aw, crap. Kid Flash, get Jinx out of the car and handle that." Robin ordered. "Gotcha!" Kid Flash sped up, grabbed Jinx, and sped back. "Hey, ugly!" Kid Flash yelled, waving his arms. "Beat it, kid! I got a hundred grand to get!" The rider yelled. Johnny Rancid, who else?
Jinx began throwing her hexes.
Two red sports cars sped past. "Yee ha, dream on, Johnny! That money is ours!" Billy Numerous waved cheekily as they caught up. The rest of the HIVE Five were chilling in the back seats. "Aqualad, Speedy, get back here now! Starfire, try to stop the cars." "I shall try, Robin."
Starfire's eyes glowed green and she soared down. "You shall not get what you are seeking!" She yelled, shooting star bolts. Billy yelped and cursed, trying to dodge the various star bolts.
A white guitar soared down and the rider strummed the strings, blasting a hole in the road. The truck was forced to stop. "Robin, you can't let anyone get too close to the truck! Whatever is inside, we don't want to set off!" The police chief yelled through the communicator. "Bumblebee, Raven, handle Punk Rocket! Speedy, Aqualad, Cyborg, catch up to the HIVE Five and take them down! I'll stay near the truck!" Robin barked, pulling up next to it.
Punk Rocket laughed and strummed at Raven, sending her flying backwards. "Haven't had a good fight in a couple weeks, mates. And them I get a hundred thousand dollars!" He said. "We'll see about that, Punk!" Bumblebee yelled.
The back of the truck was mostly empty, except for the precious cargo.
Then a familiar figure teleported in. Red X. "Okay, what am I supposed to get?" He said, whistling. "I believe it is me."
A young, about ten year old girl was sitting on a side bench, and she looked absolutely strange. Her hair was very long and light pink. Her skin was ivory colored, and her eyes were a deadly dark purple. All she wore was a simple white sun dress. "Woah, didn't know I was bringing live cargo." Red X joked.
The girl sighed and spoke again. Her voice sounded much older, unlike how she looked. "I would not suggest it, my friend. My powers are rather... unstable. Too much stimulation, and they activate. And that would not be fun for anyone around this car." "Hey, what's going on back there?" The driver appeared and Red X tackled him and vanished.
A second later, he came back. "He'll be wandering around the bad side of town for a while." Red X chuckled. "Not funny. I'd suggest staying with him... this attack will not end well for ANYONE." The girl said, scowling. "Listen, kid, as much as I'd love to here to chat about your supposed dooms day powers, I got a pay check to get. So either come over here nicely or I will-" "Red X!"
Robin slammed open the door to the truck. The girl jumped and muttered some curses. "Well, hello, bird boy." Red X pulled out his bo staff and Robin followed suit. "Please, just get out of the truck before you maim each other." The girl grumbled, pulling her scrawny knees up to her chest.
Punk blasted Bumblebee out of the air. "Ah!" She slammed into the top of the truck. Punk landed next to her and placed his boot on her chest. "Gotcha, love." He said with a triumphant smirk. "Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos!"
Black energy grabbed Punk by the guitar strap and yanked him off. "Oi! Not playing fair!" Punk yelled, shaking his fist. "Have you ever played fair?" Raven asked sarcastically.
Then everything happened at once.
Punk managed to blare his guitar at Raven. Raven dodged it right into the path of a laser shot from Johnny. She went flying right into the truck and dark energy stopped her fall... but it tipped the truck over.
"No!" The girl's eyes glowed bright purple.
A flash ran through the whole group.
Beast Boy was the first to wake up. "Ugh... what happened?" He lifted himself off the ground. "Huh? How'd I get back to the tower?" Then he looked around. This wasn't the base of Titan's Tower at all.
It looked like it, an exact duplicate. But right next to it was Titan's East, and next to that was an entry to an underground lair. The sky was dark purple and looked stormy. "Uh... I don't think I'm in Kansas anymore." He said aloud. "What the hell!"
Johnny Rancid got up from the ground, and Beast Boy made the sudden realization that the ground was covered in the unconscious bodies of the Titans and the villains. Johnny realized that he wasn't alone and glared at Beast Boy. "Okay, what did you stupid titans do?" "Dude, we did nothing!" Beast Boy yelped, waving his arms around.
"Actually, it was all your faults."
The girl that was in the truck leapt down from the top of titan's west tower. "Dude! How did you do that!" Beast Boy said, eyes huge. The girl snorted. "This is MY world, you know. I can control slight variables... such as your friend's time of unconsciousness." She snapped her fingers.
The titans and villains slowly began waking up. "When they are awake, I'll explain what you idiots did." The girl spat out.
Robin was the last one to really wake up. "Okay, what happened?" He asked, purely annoyed.
The girl sighed. "First off, introductions. My name is Utopia. This, in a way, is my mind. Which, by the way, YOU entered because someone tipped over the truck." "She did it." See-More said quickly, pointing at Raven. Raven glared at him and the leader of the HIVE Five laughed nervously. "I don't care who's fault it is, get us out of here!" Robin ordered.
Utopia chuckled darkly. "No can do, pretty boy." "Pretty boy, really kid?" The villains were trying not to snicker. Utopia sighed. "The spirit I hold that gave me these powers was... a sort of test. Each of the people in this room-" At this point, she spun around, finger pointed out, "Has a sort of inner demon that has been let loose. They will stay in hiding until they find a good time to ambush. Then..." Utopia made a slashing motion at her throat. "They'll go after you and attempt to kill you. Rather messily, too."
Billy Numerous laughed. "No problem there, we all jump the evil clone then-" "No, no, NO!" Utopia yelled, stomping her foot. The ground shook for a second. "Woah, watch it, shortie!" Mammoth growled. "Sorry. But the problem is, the minute you 'jump' the inner demon, it'll vanish and will wait again for another opportunity. It wants nothing to do with anyone else except for you." Utopia sighed. "And until each one has been defeated, I have no way of sending you back."
Robin snorted. "You have GOT to be kidding me." "My body may appear to be that of a ten year old human, but the spirit inside me is a couple thousand years old. Spirits don't get 'kidding'. And plus, this has happened before. No way out." Utopia growled. "So we'll be stuck with THEM!" Kole yelped, pointing at the villain's group. "Hey, be nice to us, we have feelings too! Well, maybe not Johnny, but..." See-More got smacked upside the head by Johnny. "Ow..."
Kyd Wykkyd smirked. 'No problem. I am a teleporter. We'll be out of here before lunch.' He signed. Jericho looked at Kyd oddly. 'You sign?' He asked. 'How else would I communicate?' Kyd began to open a portal when a tendril of blue electricity shot out of it, zapped him and send him flying backwards. "Kyd! You okay!" See-More waved a hand in front of the teleporter's red eyes. Kyd nodded and slowly got up. "Told you." Utopia responded. Kyd flipped her off.
Utopia pretended to gasp and said sarcastically, "Flipping off a child, how dare you!" The Herald nervously grabbed his Gabriel Horn and blew it. Several feet away, a portal appeared, also spitting blue electricity. "Well, we're fucked." Punk said, throwing up his arms. "And fowl mouths too... I don't care what you guys do to each other, just remember that a inner demon could appear at any time..." Utopia skipped off into the Titan's East Tower.
Speedy glared. "That girl is a brat..." "She is. But what she says is correct." Raven said calmly, clenching her fists. The HIVE Five were whispering for a couple seconds, and then See-More turned around. "Uh... truce?" He said awkwardly. Robin glared into See-More's eye, then nodded. "Truce. You stay out of our way, we'll stay out of yours." "Yeah, that's great. But what about me!" Red X said, waving his arms around. "I don't exactly hang out with low time criminals." "Hey!" Gizmo shook his fist at the thief.
Robin rolled his eyes. "I don't care. Stay out of the copied tower though." "Why, afraid I'll steal something else of yours?" Red X said, grinning under the mask. The HIVE Five attempted to hide their snickers again. A vein popped out of Robin's forehead. "You know what, we are just wasting time out there, and I sure as hell do NOT trust that girl in my tower. Titan's East, come on... M- Herald, Kole, Jericho, you come too." Bumblebee flew off into her tower.
Robin looked at the remaining titans. "Okay, lets keep our eyes open for our... inner demons. Lets get in the tower." "Are you sure I can't stay in there? Johnny might strangle me." Red X had popped up behind Robin. "No. Just no." Robin said, crossing his arms. Red X groaned.
"This is almost like our real home." Starfire said with a sigh, sitting on the couch. "It is... Starfire... what are you so concerned about?" Raven asked. Starfire flinched, then faked a smile. "No problem at all, friend Raven! Its just... if they know everything about us... its a little bit... worrying." Raven smirked. "I'd guess so. But remember, we're around friends... mostly."
Utopia was sitting on the counter, drinking a soda from a straw. "Oh, don't mind me!" She said cheerfully. Raven glared daggers at her.
So many dark secrets... so many things hidden... I wonder if they'll be friends still after its all said and done?
(This will be one of my 'darker' works. I will also be reaching into comic canon, because that is always fun.
BTW, if someone draws a cover for this, I will be eternally grateful and will write you a one shot.
Bye byes! Remember to review!)
