Welcome back to this my first novel-like story. Thanks to all my reviewers! You guys really made my day. My dialogue and flow could use some improvement. Note: I've portrayed Beast Boy as a more mature 18 year old that still likes to have fun. Anyways, onto the chapter.


Ch. 1: The Demonstration

It had officially been two weeks and three days since the lab accident and three days since Beast Boy's awesome display of strength. In those three days, the Titans had enjoyed a peaceful interlude. On the third day, all was quiet throughout Titans tower until the familiar Klaxons roused everyone from their sleep at five in the morning.

"Whoever the heck is interrupting my beauty sleep is really gonna get it today!" shouted Cyborg from the hallway.

The Titans rushed out of their bedrooms and into the main room as Robin pulled up the criminals on the monitor.

"Titans, it's the HIVE 5!" shouted Robin. "They're robbing the museum and generally causing public mayhem! The HIVE 5 isn't that big of a deal, so Cyborg, you're in charge, and take Beast Boy and Starfire to deal with those losers! Titans go!"

Not knowing whether to feel happy that he finally got a mission or insulted by Robin's implied backhanded compliment, Beast Boy went down to the garage and got into the T-car with Starfire and Cyborg. Cyborg gunned the engine and floored the gas pedal.


30 minutes later


After enduring Cyborg's maniacal driving for a good half an hour, Beast Boy desperately got out of the car and breathed in the fresh air. Up ahead, he saw the HIVE "trying" to be supervillains and generally making fools out of themselves. Without their leader Jinx, Gizmo had taken over, and frankly having a 5-year-old lead a group of teenagers was not the best idea. When the HIVE saw the Titans approach, they were thoroughly insulted.


"So the snot munchers think they can take us down without their full force? HIVE 5, let's give it to them!" shouted Gizmo.

Cyborg sent Starfire after Billy Numerous and See-More while he went after Kyd Wykkyd and Gizmo, leaving Beast Boy with the dumb brute Mammoth. Letting out an animalistic scream, Mammoth charged straight for Beast Boy. Mammoth must have noticed that Beast Boy was no longer a skinny green kid, because he suddenly stopped, confused.

"Yes, I'm still Beast Boy you idiot!" he shouted. Finally catching on, Mammoth resumed his bull charge at me and time seemed to slow down for Beast Boy. He felt an incredible chill run down my spine as he watched Mammoth run at him in slow motion. It was then that he realized that his new alien DNA had enhanced his reflexes in addition to giving him super strength. Easily side-stepped Mammoth, Beast Boy experimentally threw a light punch at Mammoth's jaw. Surprisingly, his punch threw Mammoth back a few feet. Beast Boy quickly realized out that if he didn't hold back his Kryptonian level strength, he could seriously injure Mammoth. So instead of beating him to a bloody pulp, Beast Boy simply side-stepped Mammoth's swings a few times and delivered a few more light punches to Mammoth's face. Every time Mammoth missed, Beast Boy shouted insults and taunts, making Mammoth extremely angry. After side-stepping Mammoth's fifth charge, Beast Boy put a little more strength into his punch and hit Mammoth back a good one hundred feet. In the process, Beast Boy knocked him out cold. After binding up Mammoth, Beast Boy waited for Starfire and Cyborg in the T-car and waited for the inevitable quick victory.


Another 30 minutes later

Cyborg and Starfire were clearly having trouble with their foes. Gizmo had clearly upgraded his technology and Kyd Wykkyd had obviously gotten faster at teleporting. Cyborg was running low on power from using his sonic cannon so much but doggedly refused to give up. Meanwhile, Starfire was tiring as she could not keep up with Billy Numerous' newly improved duplication powers and See-More's stronger eye-beam.

Sighing, Beast Boy exited the car, ready to take on Kyd Wykkyd. Even though the Titans West had not worked as a team for quite a while, Cyborg and Beast Boy understood each other well on the battlefield. When Beast Boy approached him, he motioned for the saiyan to take on Kyd Wykkyd while he would handle Gizmo. Wordlessly, Beast Boy turned to face Kid Wykkyd. With his newfound reflexes, The former changeling found that Kyd Wykkyd's teleporting was unbelievably slow. Beast Boy simply waited for him to teleport to a location before throwing a lightning-fast punch to his face. Beast Boy almost forgot to pull the punch until the last second, so he accidentally sent Kyd Wykkyd back a good 1000 feet through an old building. Wide-eyed, all the participants in the battle turned to face him. Without hesitating, Beast Boy took advantage of the situation and rushed Billy Numerous. Too surprised to react, the Billy's stood frozen, allowing our favorite saiyan to take out 3 at a time. Panicked, the remaining Billy's tried to multiply faster as in response, but quickly exceeded the 100 Billy max. Exhausted, he fell down. Billy's quick defeat snapped everyone back into battle mode. Once again bored out of his mind, Beast Boy went to the T-car to take a nap after tying up Billy Numerous.

After 2 hours, Cyborg and Starfire returned to the T-car bloody and bruised. They had taken the entire HIVE 5 to jail while Beast Boy took his nap. See-More's eye-beams had taken a toll on Starfire while Gizmo's prodding and poking had taken a toll on Cyborg. Exhausted and impressed, the Titans drove back to Titans Tower in silence. They were simply too awed by Beast Boy's performance to say anything.


Location: Titans Tower

As we got back to Titans Tower, Cyborg immediately reported to Robin what happened, and Robin immediately called the saiyan down to the lab to conduct tests. In addition to his Kryptonian level strength, Cyborg and Robin found that Beast Boy had developed enhanced reflexes, fast enough to dodge bullets, and surprisingly, super-speed. After the tests, Robin called together an unscheduled training session to test the extent of the saiyan's new powers. They were supposed to work on sparring and technique, so Robin paired him with Starfire to learn how to utilize his new tired, Starfire wanted to test the full capabilities of Beast Boy's strength. Usually, Starfire lifted 50 tons as a good workout. What surprised her was the fact that he was not only able to surpass her, but also lift 100 tons without breaking a sweat. Now knowing Beast Boy's level of strength, Starfire then had him fight her in a sparring match. As Starfire moved at superspeed, the saiyan simply used his superior reflexes to block or dodge most of her shots. After about 5 minutes of pure frustration and missing, Starfire resorted to using Starbolts. Though, the green bolts of energy moved fast, Beast Boy was faster. He easily blocked and dodged most of the shots, with only a few shots actually making contact. Interestingly, Beast Boy was also surprised to learn that the starbolts had almost no effect on him. Even though Starfire was holding back, her starbolts usually stung and left minor burns. Now, the starbolts caused no sensation and left no burns at all.

Taking advantage of his strength and speed, Beast Boy delivered a devastating roundhouse kick to Starfire's right shoulder. Unsurprisingly, Starfire was forcefully thrown into the wall, as shown by a huge web of cracks. She removed herself from the impact site and acted as if the hit were nothing, but Beast Boy could tell that his hit had rattled her. One more of those, and he could have knocked Starfire out.

Sensing that his girlfriend was exhausted, Robin had him move onto fighting Cyborg. Cyborg was a bit more versatile than Starfire as he had a number of gadgets at his disposal. Nevertheless, Beast Boy was able to utilize his new super-speed to dodge Cyborg's punches. Frustrated, Cyborg resorted to using his sonic cannon. The few shots that Cyborg landed were completely negated by Beast Boy's invulnerability. In fact, every shot that hit Beast Boy seemed to replenish his seemingly infinite stamina.

On the verge of victory, Beast Boy pushed his super-speed to the limit. Suddenly, as if he had run into a steel wall, Beast Boy collapsed. Concerned, his friends immediately rushed over to his side. Exhausted from his efforts, Beast Boy quickly passed out.


For all you readers familiar with the Dragon Ball universe, something similar happens to young Goku early on when he fights. All will be revealed in the next chapter. As always, please review if you can. Happy Holidays!
