DC's TITANS

CH-2: CALL TO ARMS PART: 2

(DEO Underground Headquarters, CA)

*Our story begins within the former underground headquarters of the DEO(Department of Extraterrestrial Operations) which has now been seemingly abandoned by the organization in exchange for it's newly built headquarters in National City. But within the highly advanced government headquarters a loud and pain filled shriek fills the headquarters followed by the sound of steel crashing against steel. Soldiers run through the metallic hallways all armed to teeth with highly sophisticated weaponry. A loud and deafening alarm goes throughout the compound.*

"Okay men. Johnson. Take a squad of 2 and check the right wing of the com…"

*Before the soldier could finish his command a blur of yellow and red with a trail of lightning following behind it suddenly sped by him sending him flying across the room and into the wall with a hard thud. The soldier groaned as he looked up to find the yellow boots of Central City's own Kid Flash who was smirking with his arms crossed and lighting radiating off of his yellow suit.*

"Hey guys! Sorry for the possible broken jaw. Still trying to figure out the whole super speed punch."

"OPEN! FIRE! SECURITY BREACH!"

*The other soldiers aimed their guns at Kid Flash as they opened fire only for two long and stretched out green hands with dark blue sleeves appeared through the walls as they wrapped around two of the soldiers before slamming them into each other hard enough to knock them out. From the wall appeared Miss Martian in her Green Martian disguise floating above the ground as last member of the soldiers freaked out and was ready to open fire on Miss Martian only for a red and silver tipped arrow pierced his hand from above forcing him to drop his gun as he screamed out in pain at the sight of the arrow piercing his hand and causing a small stream of blood to flow from his hand.*

"AARRRGHHH!"

*Then from the shadows above Arsenal, the former sidekick of Star Cities Arrow, dropped down landing a flying side kick across the soldier's face cracking his helmet and causing a small cracking sound to be heard from the man's jaw as he fell down onto the floor unconscious.*

"Everyone alright?"

*Asked Arsenal as he removed the arrow from the soldier's hand causing Wally to wince and clutch his stomach at both the sight and sound of it occurring.*

"Y-Yeah. I'm not gonna puke at all."

"I am fine Arsenal."

*A gunshot goes off hitting the ground in between Arsenal and Miss Martian as the injured leader of the squad of soldiers struggles to stand as he aims his pistol forward glaring at the group of superhumans, minus Arsenal, as he prepares to fire at Kid Flash who glares with lightning sparking in his eyes as he prepared to react only for a large black shadow in the form of a bird appears from behind him as it encompasses him with it's wings before it changes into Raven with her hands glowing with energy as they are placed over his ears as she speaks.*

"Please. Be calm and rest."

*The soldier's eyes roll to the back of his head as he drops his gun and flops over onto his stomach as Raven floats down and lands looking forward to the trio consisting of a meta-human, human, and Martian, that made up her team. The Titans. Roy walked over and checked the man's pulse and release a sigh of relief as the man was okay just unconscious. Roy stood and looked around as he pointed to Kid Flash and Miss Martian.*

"Wally. You and M'gann search the compound for the security room and shut down any and all security systems you can find. Raven and I will go and search for Starfire in the meantime."

*Wally raised his brow and crossed his arms while looking at Roy with a puzzled face*

"Wait a second. Since when were you the guy in charge of things?"

"Well he has been doing this hero thing longer than you or I Wally."

"Yeah but…"

"Okay listen we can discuss who's in charge later but right now you and Wally are our fastest and Raven is the only one who knows where Starfire is. So can you please just go and disable the security?"

*Wally tapped his foot as he sighed and ran off speeding through the compound as M'gann flew after him leaving Roy and Raven alone as they went to opposite direction to search for their last teammate. All the while inside of a chamber Starfire, aka Koriand'r, was struggling to break from her bindings as she growled causing her eyes to glow green.*

"RELEASE ME! RELEASE ME NOW! RAVEN!

*She screamed in her native tongue. This caused Raven to wince her eyes to glow as she followed Roy floating above the ground.*

"She's close. I can sense her anger and frustration even here. She's ready to be freed."

"Then we best not keep her waiting. Come on."

*Roy and Raven moved quickly through the DEO compound before stopping at the sound of a loud boom followed the entire compound shaking with a crash preceding it. Roy presses his forehead trying to contact M'gann knowing of Miss Martian's telepathic capabilities.*

'M'gann are you and Wally okay? What was that noise?'

'Yes Roy. Wally and I are fine but I sense something approaching the base at high speeds. It's gonna arrive so-'

*CRASH! Roy and Raven stopped in the hall as they could feel the earth around them shake violently before Roy turned to Raven and said.*

"Don't worry. I'll go and check on Wally and M'gann. You need to go and rescue Starfire so that we can go."

*Raven nodded in response as she and Roy went their separate ways. Raven flew down the halls of the building as the sound of explosions and destruction, paired with the smell of smoke and fire, followed her through the military base before she reached her destination. Raven stood before a large metallic door which she could tell was made out of Osmium, the densest metal humanly attainable. Raven knew that even with her magical powers it would take several hours to break down the door and with the sounds of carnage growing ever louder and closer she knew she was on a very short time table. Thus, the mystical young woman floated above the ground and began to meditate before spawning forth a large black and purple bird made of shadows and black energy that flew through the metallic door and successfully made it through where it came face to face with an orange skinned alien with a steel mask that covered her entire head along with her strange purple full body suit that left nothing to the imagination and adorned with green gems on her wrists, hips, and in the center of her chest that somehow highlighted her large bust. Starfire was also sadly bound in chains hooked to the other ends of the large and pitch black room holding her suspended above the 's spirit construct grew 10 times in size to the point where the already massive room could barely hold it. Raven's construct then turned pitch black as it consumed the entire room cutting Starfire's chains as the room was now pitch black. Free of her chains, Starfire slowly began to remove her mask revealing her beautiful orange face, green eyes, and bright red hair that flickered like flames. Her face was injured and seemingly drained of life as her eyes held a look of sadness and desire as she looked around her and was horrified as her prison cell had seemingly changed to a large and war torn village set ablaze as winged reptilian like creatures armed with gold staffs flew down from the pitch black sky filled with giant warships armed with cannons that fired beams of light creating more destruction. Starfire could only watch as she struggled to stand up.*

"No. Everyone? PLEASE! NO! NOOOO!"

*Screamed the Tameranean as her eyes began to flood over with tears as those matching her skin color and description could be seen being dragged out of their homes and huts before being bound by the reptilian aliens or being killed in front of their families. Starfire cried as he could see the largest structure, a castle that seemed to pierce the heavens, was blasted away by their cannons. The landscaped changed to show Starfire as a child, no older than 5, in chains screaming at the top of her lungs in her language as the reptilian creatures dragged her away into one of their ships as she could see a shadow covered figure in royal garbs smirking as she was dragged away. Starfire cried out.*

"Sister? SISTER! PLEASE STOP THIS! PLEASE HELP ME!"

*Her cries fell on deaf ears as the area changed once again showing an older Starfire, now 10 years old, curled up in a corner of a cold and disgusting cell as guards arrive and attempt to drag her out before being attacked by her as one guard fell by her clawing him in the eye. She ran down the halls of the prison as her other prisoners cried out in response, cheering on the young alien slave before being silenced by the sounds of a beam hitting Starfire in the chest and sending her flying. Standing above her was a reptilian female in golden armor, black scales, and red eyes armed with a blaster.*

"Did you really think it would be that easy slave? HA! When will you realize that we own you now and you will never escape!"

*Starfire growled as her younger self was then stepped on by the female reptilian. Older starfire went to attack the vision of her past only for the area to change once again showing her child self being experimented on while still conscious as her cries irradiated to every corner of the space ship. Starfire fell to her knees as she tightened her fists and screamed out in rage releasing a giant stream of blinding green energy causing the area around her to vanish as she then found herself back in her 10 year old body strapped into a metal spacepod that had crash landed and was surrounded by D.E.O. agents armed with blasters. She growled as she how they were no different than her captors thus she screamed and began to attack them in rage firing beams of green energy at them and sending some flying with her punches and kicks before being knocked out by a blue and red blur. She then looked at her hands and saw how much her body had matured. She then looked around and saw that she had crash landed in the outskirts of a town called Hatton Corners. The room around her reverted back to the large cell she was confined to for 37 years as she fell to her knees. Standing in front of her was an astral form of Raven floating and looking down at her.*

"Hello Koriand'r. I'm sorry it took us so long to reach you."

"Raven? Where am I? Where are the Titans?"

"We are here to rescue you Koriand'r. But we must hurry before-"

CRASH!

*The sound of an explosion knocked Starfire back as her cage was now dented as Raven's telepathic connection to Starfire thus causing her soul self to retreat back to her body as Starfire could barely see what was going on outside from a small crack formed in the door that held her inside. She could see a blur of blue and red speeding by sending Kid Flash slamming into the steel door creating an even bigger dent.*

"No more."

*A giant explosion went off shattering the steel door revealing the Titans, Kid Flash seemingly unconscious and under some rubble, Raven on the floor groaning and struggling to stand, Arsenal don't the floor holding himself up with his bow, and Miss Martian being held up by the collar by a blonde haired female in a blue costume with a red skirt, boots, and a yellow and red 'S' shield on her chest. Her eyes glowed bright blue as they irradiated heat signifying she'd blasted the door in two. Star fire roared as she flew forward and landed a powerful punch across the female's face sending her flying through several walls as blood dripped from Starfire's knuckles as green energy sparked from her eyes.*

"No more cages! No more PRISON!"

*She roared as she took off towards her opponent as the chapter ends there.*
