Chapter 1: Terra's Return

It has been five months since the Titans have thwarted the evil syndicate called The Brotherhood of Evil. Even though the Titans have gone their separate ways, they still have each other to face off against old enemies and new threats. Still, Jump City hasn't had any crime rates right about now, but it will come soon.

Right now, the Teen Titans of Jump City were just relaxing after recording some of the past events to what they accomplished. Robin is looking out for any stranger activities in the city, Starfire starts cooking some of her Tamaranian dinner for the team, Cyborg is adding more improvements to the T-Car, and Raven is meditating silently in her room as always.

But to one of the Titans, Raven was actually curious to know why the tower seems so quiet now. In a strange way, she didn't hear any noise or yelling from another Titan member. In fact, Raven never even heard anything from the green changeling lately. Ever since the battle against the Brotherhood, Beastboy, a fellow Titan, hasn't been himself lately. He never told any jokes, he's losing his touch on video games, and, somehow, he almost ate meat! That was NEVER a good sign in her theory and she wanted to know what was up. Raven then picks up her communicator and calls in for Cyborg.

Cyborg: Hellooo?
Raven: Umm, Cyborg? This is Raven.
Cyborg: Raven? This is the first time you ever call me for anything! Are you sure you're Raven?
Raven: (Sigh) Just hear me out or I'll smash your car into pieces.
Cyborg: Yep, that's you, all right. Anyway, what you need, girl?
Raven: Have you seen Beastboy around lately? Things have been a little too quiet without him screwing things up.
Cyborg: Well, actually, I did see him up on top of the roof just a few minutes ago. Come to think of it, Beastboy has been slacking off against my skills at some games. If you see him, tell him to come down and accept my challenge once I get done with the car!
Raven: Yeah, sure, whatever.

Raven hangs up and proceeds into teleporting up to the roof. It only took her a second to get there and started searching for Beastboy. She looks around and then spotted him just sitting on top of edge as he was looking at the sunset. Raven was curious to why he was up here, but she didn't hesitate to walk up to him.

"Beastboy?" Raven calls out to him as he turns around to answer. Beastboy was acting different now after leading the Titans to victory. But still, it wouldn't have given him a little grin on his face. Instead, he only puts on a small smile.

"Hey, Raven. What's up?" Normally he would've been boasted up with joy to see one of his friends, but this seems different with a hint of sadness.

"Funny, I should be asking you the same question." Raven replied to try and enlighten his day, but no avail. "You mind if I sit with you?"

"Go ahead. I don't mind having a company now and then." Beastboy said as Raven got down and sat on the edge. Raven never knew how calm he must be right now and didn't seem to joke about something. She turns to see his face, but spotted something very familiar on his lap. It was a heart-shaped mirror that Beastboy first gave to his crush, Terra.

"Um, Beastboy?" She asked.

Beastboy turns to her attention and replied, "Yeah, Rae?"

"What's with the mirror?" Raven points out to him as he looks down to see also a reflection of himself. Beastboy then sigh and gives Raven an answer.

"Well, I brought it with me to just clear my head for a while. I was just looking at it and thought of the day that Terra became a Titan until... you know." Beastboy looked away after knowing what he might say next.

Raven understands what he meant and realizes that it was almost the day that Terra sacrificed herself to save the city. She knew in her heart that Terra wasn't all that bad to begin with. But at a certain time, Terra betrayed everyone, including Beastboy, as she takes over Jump City. It was never her fault; it was all the works of Slade. Raven knew that that deep down, Terra was scared and alone with no one to turn to. Terra had no choice but to work with Slade or else he'll do something worse that might scar her green friend.

"I see. Is this about when she betrayed the Titans?" Beastboy didn't need to say anything to Raven's question but nod. "Garfield, it's not your fault or Terra's. Things happen to good people in bad times. Slade made this happen and tried to tear the team apart. He did it to Robin, and he did it to me for awakening my father."

"I know, but... I never thought she would've done this to anybody. I mean, I was a true friend to her and treated her like a normal person. But after that incident at the carnival, I should've never driven her away like that. I could've saved her from him, but..." Beastboy starts showing tears coming down his eyes.

Raven knows the pain of having to feel heartbroken. She never knew her friend to have feelings for the geomancer and kept it hidden from everyone else. Raven placed her hand on the changeling's shoulder for comfort and waited for him to answer back. But he didn't feel like talking anymore, so Raven decided to talk for him.

"Garfield, do you remember the time that I had a friend named Malchior from the book I've always read about?" Beastboy nodded as she continued, "I was feeling alone and scared for not being accepted by others. But when he first talked to me, I was happy. I had someone who I can relate to and be myself around to say how I feel. It soon became something more than that after I feel a bit... loved.

But it was a lie as I knew the truth about him and I felt used and heartbroken. I thought I would be alone forever, but that's when I saw both you and Terra hanging out more. After seeing you guys, I was hoping I may find someone who would actually be fair to me than Malchior ever did to me. Without you or Terra, I would've thought I may never be loved again. But I waited until the right one comes. And I had you to thank, Beastboy, for changing me the way I am today."

Beastboy looks up to see Raven and couldn't believe that she was smiling happily for the first time in his life. He didn't even know that he changed her one bit and realizing it right in front of him. He couldn't do anything except smile back.

"Well... anytime, Rae. I just didn't know I was helping you with your problems." Beastboy said.

Raven replied, "You always do look clueless to what everything goes around you all the time."

Beastboy couldn't help but laugh at Raven's remark. And for Raven, she was glad that he finally gets to laugh again. Soon, they got up and headed back inside to meet with the others. As they were in the hallways, Beastboy decides to ask Raven something. "Hey, Rae?"

"Yes, Beastboy?" the teen girl replied back.

"Do you think you will ever find the right guy for you," asked the changeling.

Raven was a little upset to not put her hood up because she was blushing red and she started rubbing her arm. "Maybe, but I'll just have to wait until the right time."

Beastboy smiles and look at the mirror in his hand. "Yeah, but I know that Terra is still alive right now. In my heart, I know it's true."

"I know, Garfield. And I'm very happy for you, too." Raven said as she gave him a friendly hug.

Beastboy was stunned by this reaction, but he was feeling more of a sibling-type moment he was thinking of at the time. Beastboy then hug her back and was feeling a lot better now. They let go and began walking towards their fellow Titans. "I'm thinking of getting some tofu burgers. Want anything?"

"Nothing vegetarian for that matter. I'll just make some tea." Raven replied.

"Hey, whatever you-" Their conversation stopped as the alarm went off. Beastboy and Raven made just in time to the briefing room to meet up with Robin, Starfire, and Cyborg.

"Beastboy, Raven! It is joyous to see you early now." Starfire greeted as they came to see what's happening.

"What's the situation, Robin?" Raven quickly demanded.

"It's seems to me that our old pals from HIVE Academy are back and wreaking havoc in Jump City. This time: Cinderblock and Overload are teaming up with Gizmo, Mammoth, and Billy Numerous!" Robin stated.

"Man, I thought we wasted those creeps before the last time they went against us! Looks like we're going to give them another hard lesson of butt-whooping! How about it, Beastboy?" Cyborg asked with determination to his friend.

Beastboy shrugged. "I was getting bored of a crime-free city. I don't mind taking names!"

Starfire just giggled as Raven just smiled and rolls her eyes. "Boys..."

"You have to admit: they really love the butt-kicking they will send the HIVE." Starfire replied.

"TITANS...GO!" Robin shouted as the Titans head for Jump City.

-Jump City, Downtown-

"HA HA HA! Look at these sniveling fleabags running away! Now we're running this show!" Gizmo and the rest of the HIVE are now destroying stores and the streets as they were outnumbered by cops. But the law was no match when Cinderblock made a sonic quake with just one stomp. The cars were flipped sideways and upside-down in a fiery crash as Mammoth charges through the officers like they were bowling pins.

"Out of my way, punks!" Mammoth roared as he seems to clothesline them.

"Woooowee! Now this is my kind of party!" Billy Numerous has multiplied by 30 to outnumbered 15 cops. They had no choice but to drop down against the villain. Just then, a shock of electricity bursts through the police cruisers and destroyed over 10 cars with one hit. Overload reappeared by Gizmo as he waited for orders.

"Now then, who got the balls to take down the newly Elite HIVE Five?!" Gizmo demanded as the villains heard something coming from the horizon. Gizmo then spotted a blue car that resembles Cyborg's. "Dammit! It's those cruddy Teen Titans! Overload, short-circuit that rusty hunk of scrap metal!"

"With pleasure!" Overload was charging up his new Shocker Cannon Arm and fires a perfect shot to the T-Car! Overload watch as the car exploded and laughs at the demise of the half-machine Titan. But he failed to realize that out of nowhere, a Sonic Cannon shot right in front of him. Gizmo dodged out of the way and sees Cyborg riding on top of Beastboy in a Pterodactyl form.

"BOO-YAH! That's for wrecking my car!" shouted Cyborg as he drops down and tackles Overload to a nearby store. Beastboy reverts back and appeared Robin, Starfire, and Raven.

"So Gizmo, are you ready for Round Two?" Beastboy said with challenging look.

"You may want to reconsider and retreat while you still have a chance." Robin ordered Gizmo.

Gizmo scoffed. "Hmph! It's going to take more than just Tin-Head inside to take us down! Attack Pattern Alpha!" Cinderblock charges right towards them as Raven shot some dark bolts at him to get his attention. Meanwhile, Robin and Starfire went up against Gizmo. But the evil genius jumps up with his spider legs and crawls up to the walls. Robin carried on, but Starfire was pausing for the moment as Billy Numerous got her cornered.

"Hey there, Redhead! Say, why don't you give up and I'll take you out for dinner!" He then has 10 clones coming up around her. "Our treat!"

"Sorry, but you are not the type I'm looking for entirely. Your dinner will be at jail where you belong!" Starfire replied as she uses her Star beams to attack the first six clones.

Billy Numerous then grew another 15 and said, "Oh, well! Your loss!" Starfire continues to attack, but a few attacks her from behind and gain the drop on her.

Beastboy was hurled to the wall as Mammoth strikes at him, but only hitting the wall and missed the Titan. The changeling was turned into a squirrel and reverted to a rhino. Mammoth releases his grip from the wall and cracks his knuckles.

"Oh, I'm going to make sure you are put down in your place, little one!" He yelled and headed straight for Beastboy, who charged straight forward at him. They soon collided, but Mammoth held on to his grip while holding on to green Titan. But then, Cyborg was thrown out of the electronic store and crash near a muscle car. Cyborg groaned in pain to witness that Overload has combined himself with many appliances all over his body.

Robin soon skidded towards Cyborg as they both were looking at the new designs from Gizmo. He has on a cybernetic armor with razor-sharp hand and bionic feet with mechanical spider legs.

"I think we're in deep trouble, man!" Cyborg stated as Robin nod in agreement.

"Like the new upgrades, barf-brains? I also added a few things to Overload to make sure he's at maximum power! Now, die!" Gizmo raised his hands and launches missiles from his claws. Robin quickly uses his birdarangs at them to destroy a few, but still more of them were coming at them.

"Look out!" Robin shouted as him and Cyborg dodged the missiles. It exploded while they regain their strengths. But Overload punches Cyborg near a car and charges right at him. Robin was left alone to face Gizmo as he pulls out his staff. "Let's see if I can take out that scrap metal of yours!" Robin ran towards Gizmo to attack again.

"Azareth Metrion Zinthos!"Raven chants another spell to fire some more energy waves to take out the rock giant. But he quickly avoided it and swings left and right at the sorceress. But as she kept on ducking, Raven was cut off-guard after seeing Beastboy dropping down to the ground. "Beastboy!"

And with that, Raven got hit from impact and was flung to the ground. She grunted in pain and tried to get up, but Cinderblock leapt up in the air to slam right onto Raven.

"Raven, watch out!" Beastboy shouted to warn her, but she was too late to see what was coming to her. As Raven sees Cinderblock delivering a critical blow to her, Raven closed her eyes to prepare for the worse.

But suddenly...

(SFX: Crash!)

"Raven!" Beastboy watched as Cinderblock made a crater-sized hole right onto the streets and was crushed to see the damage that was done to the poor girl. But as the smoke cleared out, she was gone. "What? Where did she-"

Out of nowhere, Raven reappeared, but was in the arms of a mysterious figure. The person has on a dark blue trench jacket with white gloves with an unknown symbol on each one, black jeans, and white shoes. Raven then opens her eyes and thought she was killed. But she noticed she was carried by someone under the hoodie.

"You okay, miss?" The mysterious figure asked kindly. His voice sounds much like a teen her age, but with a kind tone as a gentleman.

"Y-Yes, I am. Thank you." Raven replied as the man placed her down gently on the ground. "Who are you?"

The mysterious figure just chuckle lightly as he removes his hood. As he took it off, Raven was mesmerized by the boy's look and noticed his light-toned skin color and dirty blonde hairstyle which has a bang covering his left eye. His eyes were emerald green and shine right through her inner soul. "You may think of me as a friend..."

His smile surprises Raven as she felt like meeting a hot celebrity of her dreams. But she came out of her trance and sees Cinderblock coming at them. He roared as Raven starts to summon up her dark magic. But the teen stopped her and said, "You rest for a bit. I'll deal with this."

From his left side, the teen reached out for his weapon of choice: a katana blade. And with that, the boy had blue flames coming from his palm and slides it down to the blade. And as the blade was on fire, he slashes the flames right to the giant and cause inflicted damages to Cinderblock, causing him to be thrown to a building. Groaned in pain, he tried to get up. But the unknown boy transported right close to him with amazing speed! He placed his palm to the villain and chanted, "Exodux Subrosis!"And with a flash of lightning, Cinderblock was suddenly frozen in his place. Raven was dumbfounded at this as the boy turns around to see how she was doing. He just smiled and wave at her as she felt her cheeks burning. 'Who is he?'

"What the hell happened?" Mammoth questioned until something fast- punched him in the face. "Ungh! Arghh!" One by one, an unknown force rapidly surrounded him into a spinning vortex and constantly doing damage to him. Beastboy didn't know exactly what's happening, but he couldn't tell if Raven or that guy is doing this. But he heard Mammoth losing his grip on oxygen and started to pass out from both lack of oxygen and multiple attacks. Mammoth fell down hard, and Beastboy got up to check on him.

Billy Numerous was dog piling on Starfire that they were now unable to notice a red unknown object coming straight at them. One of the clones looks up and sees a giant hand smacking all of them at once and hurls them into a giant bowl. It was then sealed up and trapped the entire Billy Numerous clones altogether. But then, the strange energy was sapping away his ability and revert all his clones inside him, weakening him to the point. Starfire soon got up and wondered who, or what, saved her.

Cyborg tried everything to blast away Overload's armor, but it kept on sucking up the cannon like a sponge. He was laughing with amusement as he began to come closer to Cyborg. But then, a pink energy blast hits a nearby fire hydrant and spewed out enough water to douse the electrical freak show! Overload shouted in pain as his circuits were fried and made him powerless. All the appliances were shut down and the brain of Overload drops down to the ground instantly.

"Um, boo-yah?" Cyborg said with confusion as he spotted Robin striking Gizmo with his staff. But to no avail, the boy wonder got smacked around by Gizmo's mechanical hand. Gizmo laughs maniacally as he watches the Boy Wonder fall at his feet. "Well, well, well! It looks like I'm the lucky one to exterminate this bird brain all by myself!" The evil genius then pulls out his palm and charges a laser beam to finish Robin off. "So, Titan, any last words?"

But in a shocking twist, two slabs of rock were pressed together that smashed Gizmo in the middle. The hand was cut off and the suit was banged up into pieces now. Robin was surprised that when the slabs were separated, Gizmo survived the impact as he fell down into a dizzy state. But still, Robin was wondering what saved him.

The Titans regrouped to where Robin is and were asking the same question.

"Dude, that was insane! Mammoth didn't even move one bit after what happened to him." Beastboy exclaimed.

"I, too, am curious to what's the happening," inquired Starfire.

"I can't believe we were saved. But by who?" Robin questioned as the Titans shrugged their shoulders.

"Well, how about we ask him? Surely he may have something to do with all this." Raven pointed out to the mysterious teen boy. Raven decided to get some answers as she flew to him. "Um, excuse me, sir?"

The mysterious boy replied as the teen boy sheaths his sword away. "Yes, ma'am?"

"I wanted to thank you for saving me earlier. And saving the rest of my teammates, of course." Raven added to not seem so modest. "But anyway, who are you?"

The boy came up to her and gracefully took her hand and answered, "Since you asked nicely, I'll tell you. My name is Zachary Maverick, but you can call me Priest: The Alchemist Swordsman. And I must say: it's an honor to meet such a lovely nice Titan like you, Miss Raven." He kissed her hand tenderly as Raven soon blushed red at his compliment towards her.

"How do you know my name?" Raven questioned.

"My leader tells me all about you and your friends. In fact, she and the rest of my teammates are here right now." Priest pointed to where his team would be as a quick gust of wind went past by.

Out from the smoke, the Titans recognizes the figure. It was Kid Flash, but in a different attire of the same suit; but in a stealth outfit. Another two came jumping from the ledged building and appeared right out of the shadows.

But the Titans were surprised to see Argent and Jinx together. But in a strange way, Jinx was different: Her skin has a light-toned feature with golden cat-like eyes and her hair was down. They heard something coming down to them as Priest points out to who the leader was. But now, all the Titans were shocked as hell to see the person who came back after a long time: Terra!

Terra has blonde hair, same skin complexion, and bright blue eyes. Her new attire is a black top with a red Anarchy symbol, blue denim skirt, white goggles, black fingerless gloves, and black boot shoes with red laces. "Hey, guys! What's up?" Terra spoke as the Titans couldn't believe their eyes as Terra, who was turned to stone, is alive and standing in front of them. Beastboy, however...

"Terra...you're...alive..." And with that, the changeling then fainted in disbelief. Not before hearing one last thing:

"Beastboy...?"
