Here we are with the second chapter and I hope everyone liked how the last chapter went. We are now in the second chapter and also yes again this is the new version of my 2010 story. Now, I decided to make a new version to make up for some of the errors I made in the original story series. All of them?
Yes, all three of them and possibly the crossover I did with General Maraxus. So, we'll see how things go with these new versions. Will I do the same for my other stories? Maybe, but we have to wait to see how things go.
Again, thank you to General Herbison for his help and go check out his amazing stories if you are interested. Now, on to the disclaimer. I don't own anything from the DC universe, Bleach universe, and Star Wars universe, just my OCs. All except the general's OCs, he owns them, enjoy!
Chapter II
Jump City
On an island, found off the bay of Jump City lies an island. An island that is home to a large T shape tower, which belongs to the Teen Titans. The tower overlooks the city allowing its heroes to keep an eye on their home. It also is seen as a symbol for criminals to fear knowing the city is protected by its heroes.
Three members of the Teen Titans returned to their home after capturing the criminals, at least the ones they captured. The ones that got away were later apprehended by someone else and were taken in by the police. Robin and Starfire stayed behind to find out any more on what happened. The others were send back to get some rest.
Beast Boy and Cyborg went to the living room where they got out their video game so they can pick up where they left off.
"All right, get ready, Cy. I'm going to beat you this time," said Beast Boy as he grabs his controller and looked confident.
"You said that how many times and every time what happens?" Cyborg asked as he grabs his controller and un-pause their game as they continued with their game.
Raven ignored her to friends, playing their game and focused on making some tea. She sees her friend's pet, Silkie coming by and eating the food Starfire left for him. She pets his head and walks over to one of the sofa chairs to continue reading. As she goes back to reading, she hears Beast Boy screaming, which broke her concentration.
"No fair! I wasn't ready for that," Beast Boy whined when his character got beaten by Cyborg, again.
"I told you. BB. I was going to beat you again like before," said Cyborg as he began doing his victory dance.
"Rematch! I demand a rematch," said an angry Beast Boy.
Cyborg stops dancing and turns towards his friend. "All right, but let's make this interesting. Loser has to wash the dishes for a month."
"Deal!" Beast Boy accepted.
Raven sighed in annoyance as she turns towards her friends. "How can you two play video games after what happened? Aren't you curious on what happened?"
Cyborg paused the game and turns towards Raven. "You mean about those robbers we found?"
When the Titans found the criminals, they were all unconscious and tied up. They weren't sure what happened and couldn't get any information from the men. The money was all here, so they doubt another rival group took the money. Without any way of tracking who did this they knew there wasn't much to go on.
Raven sighed as she closes her book. "I just think we should have looked around a little longer and maybe we could have found something."
"Didn't we already do that and found nothing?" Beast Boy asked, recalling how he tried picking up a scent on who attacked the thieves but found nothing.
"Yeah," Cyborg agreed with his friend. "We couldn't find a trace of the guy. For all we know it couldn't have been a ghost."
Beast Boy's eyes widen in awe. "Dude, imagine if we had a ghost on the team. That would be so awesome."
Beast Boy began imagining them hanging out with a cartoonish ghost. Them going around scaring the bad guys, flying around, and eating pizza.
Raven narrowed her eyes in annoyance with what Beast Boy said. "I doubt it was a ghost," she replied not wanting to admit to the others what she did find.
While they were looking around, she sensed something. It was weak, but it was near the van where she sensed something. It felt like some sort of spiritual presence that was nothing that she has sensed before. She wasn't sure what it was, but decided to keep it to herself until she has an idea what it is.
"I don't know. It would be kind of cool to have a ghost Titan on our side," said Cyborg who agreed somewhat with his green friend.
The door slide open and in came Starfire as she flies in. "Greetings friends! We have return."
"Welcome back, did you guys find anything?" Cyborg asked unaware Beast Boy pressed the pause button to play the game. "Hey! You little cheat! You're going to pay for that!"
Beast Boy and Cyborg began playing, while Starfire replied to her friend's question. "Unfortunately we could not find anything. Robin did find something pierced the engine, but there was nothing left behind to tell us what it was."
Raven puts her book down and walks over to her friend. "Where is Robin?"
"He is in his room waiting for the police to send him the statement the criminals plan to give," said Starfire as she picks up her pet and begins petting him after he finished eating. "Robin doesn't believe though we should worry about. Whoever did this did not harm the criminals, merely knocked them out."
Raven was glad to hear that, especially how they don't try causing any serious injuries to any criminals they come up against. At least the ones with no powers. Those that have powers, they have to get a little rougher. In order to incapacitate them, but they do hold back a little.
"So, we're not going to look for him or her?"
Starfire shook her head in response. "For now, Robin said we should get some rest and worry about this tomorrow," she lets out a small yawn and covered her mouth. "Which I plan to do now. Goodnight friends!"
Starfire floated out of the room, just as Cyborg won the game. Beast Boy groaned loudly, while his friend does his victory dance. Raven decided to get her book and head off to sleep herself. It was getting late and they have a long day tomorrow if criminals cause trouble early in the morning. But before going to sleep she decided to go pay Robin a visit.
She finds him in the crime lab going over the pictures they got from the police. Showing the men tied up, all the money being recovered, and the destroyed engine from the van.
"Found anything?" she asked, getting his attention.
Robin shook his head in response and looks back at the pictures. "Whoever did this made sure not to leave any evidence behind. Even made sure we couldn't track this guy down."
She knew he was right. She couldn't track this guy with her magic, Cyborg couldn't track him with his science, and even Beast Boy couldn't track him with smell.
"Still, I don't think we should worry about this guy," said Robin reassuring his friend not to worry, since he figured that's why she came by. "This guy didn't steal anything and knocked out the men leaving them with no serious injuries."
"And yet you look like you'll be staying up late," said Raven pointing out what she is noticing. "I'm guessing we should be cautious on who this guy could be?"
Robin knew Raven could tell what he was thinking, especially when she got into his mind. "I'm staying up late to figure out how to find this guy, but I'll be heading to bed soon. Something you should do too."
Raven was about to say something, when she lets out a small yawn. She knew they had a long day and it would be best if she got some rest.
"All right, but don't stay up too late," she replied before she left the room.
Despite Robin telling her why he is staying up late, she knew he wasn't being truthful. Ever since what happened with Terra, they have been concerned about who comes to their city. If it's someone with powers then they want to be sure they can be trusted. That they have control over their powers and won't turn on them like Terra did.
That's why she figures Robin is staying up late to find out anything about who this guy could be. That way they can find out what their intentions are and if they are friend or foe.
Meanwhile
In another part of the city near an old abandon observatory which originally belonged to Dr. Chang. That was until he was locked up for his crimes against the city. It was now abandoned until the city can decide what to do with it. To either open it up or tear it down to build something else that doesn't remind the city what it was used.
There would be some kids that come by to mess with the facility or even have parties. This caused the police to lock the place up so that no one gets it. However, it didn't stop a cloaked figure from breaking in. He cuts through the chains and goes into the facility finding it abandoned.
He looked around to find the place empty. There was nothing left in the facility, including the once giant telescope that was used as a giant laser. The figure pulls out a sleeping bag and sets it down in the middle of the room. It was a long night and he decided to get some rest.
Looking up into the ceiling and began thinking back what he was told to do when he got here. He remembers three days ago being in another city and him speaking with his sensei.
San Diego (Flashback)
On top of a large building, there are two figures observing the police who are arresting some men for drugs.
"It's funny, how these men are trained on how to handle criminals and yet can't handle one babbling idiot," said the younger figure as he watches three police officers trying to take one guy down. "The guy must be on the same drugs he is selling."
The taller and older figure nods in agreement as the police use tasers to take the guy down. "It's not an easy job, but they still do it to protect the people and keep them safe. That's something we should respect for them doing."
The younger figure looks up at his teacher. "I know, but I did wish we would help them take down these criminals. I could this guy down and do it without them seeing me."
The older figure chuckles softly. "Like how you took down the last guy? If I recall correctly you almost stabbed him."
"Hey! It wasn't my fault the guy was moving so much when I was trying to incapacitate him," the younger figure replied. "Still, I wish we could do more than just protect them from monsters."
The older figure nods in agreement and places his hand on his shoulder. "I know you do and believe me I wish we could do more as well. However, we both know that what humanity does is their own choice and we cannot control them. If we did we would become just like then and become corrupted."
The young figure sighed and looks down into the city. "I know…I still wish we could help."
The older figure understood and then looks up into the sky. "I have something to tell you. I need you to go to a city for a few weeks. I plan to go visit an old friend to lend them a hand."
"What do you want me to do in this city then?" the young figure asked wondering what he plans to do.
The older figure looks down at the young figure and smiles. "I have been getting word there are some people there that have a strong spiritual power. If that's true then you know what will come for them. Do you mind keeping an eye on things until I get back?"
The young figure thought about this and knew this might be his chance to have a little fun. A few weeks without his sensei around. That sounds like it's going to be fun. Plus he could also use that time to do a little hero work?
"Sure, I'll do it. When do I leave?" he asked.
The older figure could tell the boy was looking forward to some alone time. "Tomorrow, but for now let's go get something to eat.
The young figure nods as he bows his head. "Thank you, master. I won't let you down."
The older figure returns the head bow. "I know you'll do fine and I hope the path you follow will be one that leads to happiness."
The young figure chuckles a little. "I think the day that happens is I can find a girl who can actually see me.
(Present)
The figure opened his eyes and looks up into the ceiling. It has been a few days since he last saw his master and he hope he will see him again. For now though he'll need to get his rest. Tomorrow is a brand new day and he's going to make the most of it with some fun.
He also hope he will get a chance to meet the Teen Titans in person. He heard a lot about them and how they are superheroes. He wonders if one of them knows who Batman is. Oh he is hoping.
Earlier he did see them, but didn't stay around long since he didn't want them to see him. He could sense they all have strong spiritual energy, but knew only one of them is stronger.
He didn't know who it was, but is hoping when he meets them he'll know who they are. So far, no other problems have arrived. So, all he has to do is kick back, relax, and enjoy his little vacation time. I wonder if one of them knows Wonder Woman.
Okay, so this is a chapter or two longer than the last one. Sorry guys, but I hope you all liked how this second chapter went. I want to thank everyone for the support and reviews. I appreciate it and thanks to my friend for his help.
It won't be long before they all meet and I didn't reveal the figure's name just yet. Not until the next chapter. What's going to happen that will cause both sides to meet? And will their first encounter go well?
Check out the next chapter to find out and if you liked how this went then please leave some reviews to let me know your thoughts about the chapter. If you didn't like this then don't leave a flame review please. I want to also thank General Maraxus for his help and we hope you will like our crossover sequel that we are working on together. Take care everyone and have a good day.
