The Realm Five: Titanic Proportions
Prologue
It was a peaceful evening in Jump City. Cars were driving down the street. People were walking around, doing whatever it was they do at night. It was particularly calm. Except for the streetlights occasionally flickering on and off. Why was this happening? The answer would be clear if you were at the Jump City Power Plant.
At the city's power plant, two supervillians known to the people as Dr. Light and Control Freak were using a machine to drain power from the generators.
Control Freak: "More than half way done"
Voice: "If you're talkin' about microwave burritos, they're more than done by now."
The two villains turned around to find five individuals they would rather not see. They were Robin, Raven, Cyborg, Starfire and Beast Boy, the Teen Titans. Beast boy was the one who spoke that last line.
Raven: (to Beast Boy) "I'm not sure if I even got that joke."
Control Freak: "The Teen Titans!? I'll keep them busy, you keep charging the machine."
Dr Light: "Right . Once this machine is finished charging, the Titans are finished and this city will be ours for the taking."
Control Freak pulled out his remote and used it to materialize three monsters for the Titans to face. The first is a large yellow winged serpent, the second is a red phoenix, and the third is a large blue golem.
Control Freak: (to the monsters) "Attack!"
Robin: "Titans! Go!"
The monsters and the Titans went to attack each other while the two villains continued with their business.
The golem attacked Robin and Cyborg. It thrust a large punch toward the ground they were standing but the two heroes were able to dodge it. Afterwards, Robin threw some electric disks at it and Cyborg blasted it with his Sonic Cannon. They began knocking it back until it hit Control Freak and Dr. Light's power generator and the electricity from the generator shocked it until it disappeared in an explosion of the code it was made from.
The serpent went for Starfire. It was flying at her with great speed and attempting to trap her in its jaws. Starfire kept it away by flying away from it while dodging its bite attacks and throwing Star Bolts at it, with some of them making contact. Following in the suit of her comrades, Starfire began flying toward some power lines connecting to the machine with the serpent close behind. She then stopped and flew behind the serpent. She released a concentrated Star Bolt at the monster, which made contact and sent it flying into the power lines. The overload of electricity caused it to explode and the lines to stop draining power.
Then as Starfire looked up from the defeated monster, she happened to look up at the sky and see a bright purple glowing object hovering in the distance.
Starfire: "What is that?"
Just then, the object suddenly shot across the sky and into a nearby tool shed in the power plant. How it went unnoticed by everyone else in the area was anyone's guess. The heroine looked at her friends, then at the crash site of the object. Figuring she wouldn't be gone that long, Starfire decided to check out what it was that fell from the sky.
Back at the action, the phoenix was attacking Raven and Beast Boy. It threw fire balls from its mouth at the two heroes. Beast Boy dodged them by turning into a snake and quickly slithering around the blast areas and Raven put up a shield using her powers. Beast Boy still in snake form managed to sneak behind the phoenix. He then turned into a rhino and rammed it forward, heading towards Raven.
Beast Boy: "Raven, heads up!"
Raven used her telekinesis to catch the bird and throw it at the generator. This was, however, not at a point were the monster could be electrocuted. To remedy the situation, Raven used her powers again to cut the power lines convienitely hanging above the creature and let them fall onto it, and cause it to explode like the others.
Control Freak noticed this and so did Dr. Light. Their line of defense was down and their machine was not at full power.
Dr. Light: "Now what are we going to do?"
Control Freak: "Don't worry. This thing may not have enough power to take over the city but it may still be enough to take out the Titans."
Control Freak then activated the machine. It was a flying vehicle resembling a flying saucer type spaceship. Visible on the outside were a couple of small laser guns and a larger laser cannon on the bottom.
Control Freak: "Eat this, Titans!"
Control Freak started firing lasers from the smaller guns at the Titans. They all scattered and began dodging the lasers. After a short while, he started charging energy in the big gun. When he released it, the blast was enormously large. The Titans dodged it and it flew harmlessly into an empty building nearby. However, the force of the blast was so powerful, it leveled the building completely.
Dr. Light: "You're next!"
Robin: "Titans, take out those guns!"
The two villains began charging another shot while the Titans made their move. Robin threw his disks at one of the lesser guns. The disks only damaged it but it was later smashed by a gorilla punch from Beast Boy. Raven simply dismantled the other one. Cyborg was facing of with the large laser gun. Dr. Light and Control Freak fired their charged laser blast while Cyborg countered with a powerful blast from his Sonic Cannon. Both blasts met each other with equal force. Neither side was willing to give in. Then Dr. Light shot a blast from his suit at Cyborg. This blast hit the ground by his feet and made him trip, canceling out his Sonic Cannon. The laser blast was now heading toward Cyborg, but at the last minute Raven telekinetically pulled him out of the way.
Cyborg: "Thanks, Raven."
Raven: "Sure."
He then ran over towards Robin and said…
Cyborg: "Hey Robin. You thinkin' what I'm thinkin'"
Robin smiled back and said…
Robin: "Oh yeah!"
When the two villains began charging another blast, Robin and Cyborg made their move. Robin threw one of his explosive disks, which was followed up by a blast from Cyborg's Sonic Cannon. This combination attack is known as the Sonic Boom. The attack hit its mark and the large laser gun, along with the ship it was connected to, exploded. The villains who were piloting the craft were ejected from it and were now on the ground looking up at the five superheroes.
A few minutes later…
The Titans were standing nearby as the police put Control Freak and Dr. Light into the prison transport van.
Control Freak: "This plan was horrible! CONSIDER THIS PARTNERSHIP OVER!!!"
Dr. Light: "But the UFO thing was your idea!"
As the police cars began to move out, Raven noticed something.
Raven: "Um, has anyone seen Starfire?"
Just then, Starfire was spotted flying back to the group.
Robin: "Starfire, where were you? We could've used your help."
Starfire: "I am sorry. Something fell from the sky and crashed near here. None of you noticed so I went to investigate it."
Cyborg: "Really? What was it?"
Starfire showed the object to her teammates. It was some sort of crystal. It was about the size of a person's forearm and could easily be held with one hand, as Starfire displayed. The crystal was colored a dark purple and was glowing with some sort of energy.
Beast Boy: "Wow. That is one big night light."
Cyborg: "These energy readings are pretty high. You said this just fell from the sky?"
Starfire: "Yes. I just happened to look up and I saw it fall from the sky."
Robin: "We'd better take this back to the Tower and analyze it."
The other Titans agreed and proceeded to go back to their headquarters, Titans Tower.
Meanwhile, in a location not far from there, a mysterious villain was watching this scene unfold.
Villain: "A strange crystal with high energy readings? Interesting."
Meanwhile, in another dimension, a computer watched this situation unfold and began scanning the area. The following text showed up on its monitor.
High energy readings detected.
Scanning area.

Realm Crystal detected.
Now alerting Realm Five.
