Loose yourself
A chill wind swept across Jump City causing the civilians to shiver and seek warm shelter.
Alarms rang out of the Jump City Jewellers, echoing down the high street. Police vehicles screeched to a halt outside the Jewellers. Confused faces looked around to find the cause for the alarms to go off. Stunned police officers were baffled to hear that priceless jewels had been stolen but there had been no sign of anyone taking them or even entering the building. They had just vanished.
Beast Boy sat at the counter in the kitchen area of the common room, nursing a glass of soy milk. Staring at nothing, his thoughts kept returning to the dream he had had last night. He couldn't make any sense out of it, did it even mean anything or was it just a dream?
Every time Beast Boy tried to think of something else he couldn't, his thoughts always returned back to the dream, or rather nightmare. And to top it all he now had a pounding headache, which Beast Boy decided, was due to too much thinking.
The common room doors opened and in walked Cyborg. He was surprised to see Beast Boy just sitting there staring into space, not even turning to greet him. In fact Beast Boy was so lost in his thoughts; he was completely unaware that Cyborg had even entered the room.
"Yo Beast Boy" Cyborg greeted walking up to Beast Boy so that he stood next to him.
Still Beast Boy didn't move or even look at Cyborg, he continued to stare intently at the counter, reliving his nightmare bit by bit. Cyborg waved a large mechanical hand in front of Beast Boy's face, but he still didn't move.
"BEAST BOY!" shouted Cyborg right into his ear.
With a start Beast Boy was jolted back into reality and looked to see Cyborg towering over him.
"What?" asked Beast Boy, surprised to find Cyborg suddenly there and wondering how long he had been standing there.
"Dude you've been sitting there all morning. What's wrong?" Cyborg asked, concern in his voice.
"Nothing, I just didn't get much sleep last night that's all." Beast Boy said downing the remainder of his soy milk.
"You weren't like sleeping with your eyes open just then, were you?" Cyborg cautiously asked.
"I don't know, maybe" shrugged Beast Boy. He didn't want to have to go through the nightmare with Cyborg. He just wanted to forget all about it and the sooner he did the better.
"Man you get stranger every day" Cyborg laughed.
Just at that moment the common room doors swished opened and in walked Robin, Starfire and Raven.
"Good you're here", Robin said marching to the top of the room, "we've had a report in stating that the Jewellers on the high street was burgled sometime today."
"Some time today? So what they don't know when it actually happened?" asked Cyborg.
"That's the thing, according to the report no one saw it happen, the jewels just vanished."
"Jewels don't just vanish" stated Raven.
"Right, so we got to be on the alert for anything like this happening again." Robin said frowning at the report that he held.
As if on cue the alarm system sounded through out the tower. The map of the city popped onto the large front screen, a flashing dot signalling where the Teen Titans were needed, the Jump City Bank.
The Teen Titans arrived at the bank in record breaking time; they had even beaten the police. Everything seemed normal, apart from the fact that a very shrill alarm was ringing out of the bank.
As the Titans looked around to try and find the source of the disruption, a young male casually walked out of the bank. He wore a long leather jacket, a red t-shirt and plain black trousers, with hulking biker boots. He had a mess of black hair and was slightly too pale for normal. Overall he looked like a normal civilian, apart from the three bulging bags he was carrying. They were so full that money was escaping and fluttering in the wind.
"Good, I was hoping you guys would turn up" the young male said, a large grin on his face.
"What's going on? Who are you?" demanded Robin, not liking what he was seeing at all.
"You can call me Zero and I've been dying to meet 'The Great Teen Titans'" smirked 'Zero'.
"Please why do you have the bags of the money? You must put them back it is most wrong to take them!" scolded Starfire, as if talking to an unruly child.
"Oh what this?" Zero said looking at the bags he was carrying, "this is just a bit of fun, you could say I was just trying to get your attention."
"Well you've got it! Now hand them over!" shouted Robin, growing angry.
"Umm…nah" As Zero said this he suddenly vanished on the spot. The Teen Titans stared opened mouthed at the spot where he had just been standing a second ago.
"Uh where did he-" started Beast Boy.
In another second Zero had reappeared, arms and legs folded, casually leaning up against a lamppost a little further up the road. A smirk was plastered on his face, the bags of money now gone.
"He's teleporting." Stated Raven, a hint of surprise in her voice.
"It was you who took the jewels earlier" said Robin through gritted teeth.
"Well duh." Scoffed Zero, raising one eyebrow.
"That's it! This punk is going down!" yelled Cyborg punching his fist into his hand.
Zero didn't move or say anything. He remained leaning up against the lamppost, with the smug grin still on his face.
"TEEN TITANS GO!"
Robin was first to spring forward and attack Zero. Extending his Bo staff Robin swung hard at Zero, only to come into contact with the lamppost. Zero teleported behind Robin and gave him a quick kick in the back of the legs, causing him to fall forward.
Zero teleported again narrowly missing a beam of blue energy. Reappearing next to Cyborg, Zero swiftly kicked him, causing Cyborg to trip and fall hard to the ground with a grunt.
Starfire let loose a blast of starbolts aimed for Zero. But in a blink of an eye he had disappeared and the bolt of green energy unintentionally hit Cyborg directly.
"Oops sorry friend Cyborg" apologised Starfire, aiding her friend back onto his feet.
Zero paused for a moment to admire his handy work, but it was a moment too long. Black energy appeared all around him, encasing him in a bubble, which Raven lifted off the ground.
"Oh no I'm trapped!" Zero mockingly said, frantically looking for a way out of the bubble. Still with that infuriating grin, Zero teleported out of the bubble of Raven's powers, reappearing in front of her and knocking her to the ground.
"This is way more fun then I thought it was going to be," laughed Zero, "come on I thought you guys would at least set me a challenge."
Beast Boy morphed into a large gorilla and charged for Zero, only to be met with nothing.
"Oops nearly." Zero said appearing to the side of him. Beast Boy swung a great arm to the side of him hoping to hit Zero, but only to swing at thin air. Zero continued to teleport just to side of Beast Boy, as he continued to swing around and around in a circle trying to hit him.
Having too much fun in torturing Beast Boy, Zero didn't see the blast of green energy heading towards him and hitting him directly in the back. Zero went flying from the impact and collided with a near by building.
All the Teen Titans breathed a sigh of relief as Zero was finally down. But it wasn't over yet.
Out of no where Zero appeared and grabbed Starfire. Before anyone could realise what was happening, both Zero and Starfire had disappeared.
"Starfire!"
Zero pushed Starfire away from him the second that they had reappeared again. Turning around Starfire saw Zero waving at her before vanishing in front of her eyes.
Everywhere around her was snow, in fact it seemed she was in the middle of a snow storm. Gusts of wind battered against her, snow slowly began to cover her as she stood there. She could see no civilians; there was no life of any sort anywhere. All she could see was the colour white.
One second she was standing with her friends fighting a most unpleasant person, the next she was somewhere unknown to her, alone.
The remaining Titans all stared at the spot where Starfire had been standing just seconds before. Suddenly Zero reappeared back in that same exact spot, a large smile once again on his face.
"Where's Starfire, what did you do with her?" demanded Robin. Anger was not a stronger word for what he was feeling, it was like he was spitting venom as he spoke.
"Don't worry, she'll find her way back home eventually." Said Zero, enjoying the torment he was causing.
Robin made to lunge forward and attack Zero but Cyborg grabbed his shoulder and stopped him.
"If you can teleport anywhere you like, why come back? Why not escape?" asked Cyborg, holding himself back from lunging at him with Robin.
"Where would be the fun in that?" Said Zero, "The only reason I came to this lame city was to wipe the floor with you guys. And can I just say, not very impressive."
Cyborg's anger boiled over and he began to charge up his sonic cannon. He was going to teach this punk a lesson he would never forget.
"No" Raven moved in front of Cyborg, blocking his way, "he's just baiting you."
"So how are we supposed to stop a guy that won't keep still? He just keeps vanishing all the time." Beast Boy said exasperated.
"He won't be able to avoid us if we all attack him at once." Robin said in a hushed voice.
The remaining four Titans faced back towards their assailant with fire in their eyes. This time it was personal.
Robin swiftly unhooked a bird-a-rang from his utility belt and threw it at Zero. Not surprisingly Zero dodged this by teleporting and remaining in the same spot. What he didn't count on however was Cyborg. Too slow to react Zero was hit directly in the chest by a blue sonic blast.
As he staggered back on to his feet, Raven phased in front of Zero, using his own tactic against him. From out of her clock sprang Beast Boy in gorilla form, tackling Zero to the ground before he had a chance to get away. Beast Boy made contact and it was finally looking like the Teen Titans were gaining the upper hand. But as to be expected, Zero teleported leaving Beast Boy holding nothing.
As soon as he had reappeared, Cyborg charged and made to punch Zero, only to come in contact with the floor. In an instant Zero had grabbed hold of Cyborg, like he had done with Starfire, and teleported. The next thing the Titans knew was that Cyborg came hurtling down from the sky and crashed hard on the ground, causing a crater in the road.
"Two down, three to go" said Zero appearing in front of the remaining three Titans once again.
"When you see an opportunity, take it" said Robin to Raven and Beast Boy, before advancing on Zero.
Every hit Robin made Zero blocked or teleported away, completely dodging them. Still Robin continued on the attack, knowing Zero would grow tired long before he did. As they fought, Raven phased behind them so that they now had Zero surrounded. Turning around to see Raven there, Zero made to teleport away, when Robin grabbed a hold of him so that they both vanished.
All Raven and Beast Boy could do was watch, as Robin and Zero kept appearing and disappearing all over the city. Every time they made a move to help Robin, they would disappear once again. Robin was left struggling with Zero, refusing to let go, as they both tried to get the upper hand on one another.
Suddenly Robin came hurtling out of no where and collided into Raven, the force knocking them both out for the time being.
A satisfied Zero appeared brushing his hands, having finally shaken Robin off of him.
"Your going to pay for that" said Beast Boy through gritted teeth. He was the last one now and somehow he was going to have to stop Zero.
"Ha you think you can beat me? Please your just the baby of the group," taunted Zero, "you probably only got in the team because they felt sorry for you."
Beast Boy closed his eyes trying to drown out Zero's voice. Even though he knew that all that Zero was saying was lies and he was just taunting him, it still stirred something inside of Beast Boy. He could feel his headache returning with a vengeance, splitting his skull apart.
"It's pathetic," continued Zero, "your whole team is down and you think you can stop me all by yourself? It's laughable." And with that Zero began to laugh.
With an almighty roar, Beast Boy morphed into a tiger and pounced for Zero. But as predicted, Zero merely teleported and avoided Beast Boy. Still he continued to laugh, causing Beast Boy to become more and more infuriated. Every animal that he morphed into, Zero simply avoided. Growing tired, Beast Boy stopped to catch his breath back, shifting back into human form.
"You see? Pathetic," smirked Zero, "why don't you just give up and go home?"
"No!" shouted Beast Boy, the pain in his head causing him to shut his eyes and put his hands to his head.
"Your choice." Shrugged Zero; walking up to Beast Boy and delivering a punch to his stomach. Beast Boy fell to the floor, the pain in his head clouding his vision. The pain was so intense that he hardly felt anything when Zero then kicked him in the stomach.
"What's up, not fighting me now?" asked Zero standing over Beast Boy.
"Stay away form me!" cried out Beast Boy, trying to stand up. The pain in his head was now slowly making its way through his entire body. It was as if every nerve in his body was on fire, he could feel his muscles contracting then expanding, as if he was being crushed and then stretched.
Beast Boy staggered and fell forward, groaning in pain. Zero stood back, stunned at what he was seeing. Beast Boy kneeled, hunched over on the ground, crying out in pain.
Slowly Beast Boy began to grow in size, his fang teeth grew to razor sharp. Sharp claws grew from his hands, his whole body now covered in a thick green fur.
Zero stared as The Beast now stood in front of him, huge and menacing. With a roar that seemed to shake the very buildings, The Beast picked up a near by discarded car and threw it in the direction of Zero. Zero swiftly dodged the flying car and watched, as in a fury The Beast picked up anything to hand and threw it, causing mass destruction. Not waiting around any longer, Zero teleported never to be seen again.
It was at that moment that Robin and Raven regained consciousness, only to see The Beast out of control.
"What's going on, what happened?" said Robin jumping to his feet.
"It's Beast Boy, he's lost control" Raven said rushing forward towards The Beast.
Robin unhooked his grappling hook and attempted to tie The Beast up. The coil wrapped around The Beast's arm, but Robin soon had to let go of the grappler, if he didn't want to go flying into a building.
"Beast Boy calm down!" shouted Raven trying to get near him, while avoiding the flying debris.
Still The Beast lashed out at anything near, roaring out in fury. Raven desperately tried to get near him and calm him down.
"Raven be careful!" warned Robin.
But it was too late. With an almighty arm The Beast hit Raven. As soon as he had realised what he had done, Beast Boy shifted back into his human form. Robin rushed over to Raven's side and it was then that Beast Boy saw the large gash across her cheek.
The air seemed to have been sucked all out of Beast Boy, his mouth went dry. He couldn't speak, he couldn't think. Before he even knew what he was doing, he ran.
A/N: ok there you have it, a very action packed second chap. I know that the whole beast thing is maybe a bit over used, but hey it's a great story arc to write. Please stick with it and I hope you like it so far. Please R&R EvilSis X
