Titan of Time
Chapter 2: The Titans Strike
Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans or any of the characters involved except Guardian T. Time
Beast Boy, Pantha, Herald, Jericho and Time were looking down on a dark alley. Below was Mas who was looking alone and frightened. He called out in Spanish for Cinderblock to come and show his ugly face. The giant stone man came lumbering down the alley when he heard his name and charged at Mas who jumped out of the way. Pantha then jumped from her spot and slammed into him. Beast turned into a Hippo and landed next to Pantha and kept Cinderblock down. Cinderblock began to flail his giant body when Time held out his hand and the time freezing noise sounded making Cinderblock stop. Jericho jumped on top of him and Beast and Pantha jumped off as Time released the spell. He looked Cinderblock in the eyes and his soul left his body entering the stone giants. He continued to flail for a few minutes before calming down.
"Jericho? Are you in there?" Beast Boy asked
Cinderblock sat up "Yes. I'm here."
The ground looked relieved. "So where's the Brotherhood's base?" Time asked
"He may have bricks for brains, but I can manage to make it out. The base is in Paris." He told them
Beast Boy looked around at the ground and he had an idea.
Cinderblock had the remaining titans knocked out his arms laying limp when he knocked on the giant door. It slid open and he walked inside. There he was passed by two villains, Private H.I.V.E and Adonis.
"Cinderblock Sir, come on they're about to freeze Robin." Private H.I.V.E shouted at him.
Cinderblock followed them
"By the way, nice catch sir." Private told him
"Thanks." Cinderblock replied.
The other two slid to a stop and turned to Cinderblock. "Umm… since when could you talk… sir?" Private asked
Cinderblock looked down at him and then Jericho's soul leapt from the giant's body as the titans got up and jumped at Adonis. Beast Boy had been a fly on the wall and watched as the group quickly dispatched the two with Jericho forcing Private to punch himself knocking him out and Herald teamed up with Pantha and Time to remove Adonis of his armor.
Beast Boy landed and returned to his normal form. "Now we need to find the others."
Mas suddenly felt a shock in himself as he saw an image of Menos being frozen. He pointed down a hallway and shouted 'this way' in Spanish and took off running. The group shrugged and followed him. Halfway down the hall Mas slowed down.
"How do you know he's this way?" Beast Boy asked
Mas explained in a long Spanish saying and left Beast Boy completely confused. Pantha walked up to him and said "He says it's a, twin thing." Before passing him.
Herald and Jericho were walking next to Time in the back when Herald noticed Time's staff and the small clock at the top.
"What kind of weapon is that?" He asked indicating the staff
"It's known as a time staff. It enchances my powers over time-control." He explained
"It's at noon, or midnight. What does that mean?" Herald asked
"Non-combative. I can speed up, slow down, or stop right now. And it's noon. Let's just hope you never see midnight." He told him before speeding up pace and catching up to Beast Boy.
"What's the plan?" he asked
"I don't have one." Beast Boy told him honestly
"Sound fun. I'm generally sent flying into missions without a plan." Time told him grinning at his own mistakes.
"So, we have no plan. We're severely outnumbered. And we've never worked together before." Herald asked
"That about sums it up." Time said with a slight smirk
"Oh great. Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse." He said sulkingly
"Calm down guys." Beast Boy told them
Just as he said this a spotlight turned on them. They froze and looked around and saw thousands of pairs of eyes looking down on them
"How, quaint. A, small, army, that was supposed, to, defeat me?" The Brain's voice echoed throughout the arena
The whole brotherhood laughed.
Time looked around. "Who is your leader?" he asked
The whole army burst out laughing even more
"That, would be, me." The Brain said as a light turned on him
Time stepped forward "My name is Guardian T. Time. I am the wielder of the Guardatite Time staff, you have caused a great evil upon this world, and now I must kill you."
"A, Guardian? Of, what?" Brain asked
"I am the protector of the world Teen Titans, and an ally to them."
"Another, titan? Then I, will defeat, you all." He replied "Brotherhood. Attack."
"Haaa!" The brotherhood shouted roaring battle cries and charged at the small team
"Beast Boy, titans. I ask for your assistance. I will slowly increase my power. I need you to protect me so that I can go undisturbed." Time told them
Beast Boy nodded and led the remaining Titans in a retaliating charge. Time sat down cross-legged and held his staff straight up between his crossed legs. Slowly, the second hand came to life and began to tick away at the clock, more than what a second would require. Soon the minute hand came to life and moved, about halfway through the clock the hour hand began to move. Soon all three hands were moving and they finished with the second and minute hand landing on the twelve and the hour landed on the one.
Time opened his eyes and a white glowed flashed in them for a second. "Guardian Arts: Tier 1, Time lock"
While Time had been working at shifting the hands on his clock the remaining titans had been fighting the brotherhood of evil. Beast Boy charged with Pantha and two immediately took down two of the bigger members of the brotherhood. Jericho jumped into another member before striking the man's former ally. He jumped out of his body and into another's as someone struck his former vessel. He did this four or five times before Gizmo put a bag over his head.
Herald blew his horn and summoned a portal that began to suck away at anyone close enough. Though this didn't last long as Fang shot some of his webbing gumming it up. He was then captured. Mas tried to get away from the fight and managed to get past Doctor Chang and his guards and unfroze Menos. This was a short lived reunion before both of them were captured. After the rest of the team was captured Brain had their imprisoners bring them before him.
