Chapter Two

Titans, Captured

(AN: When we last left our heroes. They had captured Doctor Light and were taken through some sort of portal. Where will they end up, let's find out)

Robin slowly began to regain consciousness and opened his eyes slowly. Upon doing so, he felt the blinding glow of light in his eyes. Alarmed, he presumed this to be another of Light's attacks and leapt into action.

But upon getting to his feet…he found no sign of Light anywhere. Upon looking up, the Boy Wonder was met by the glowing rays of the sun. This made him even more confused than he already was.

"Sunlight…how long were we out for" thought Robin, rubbing his eyes. He then saw his other teammates, still lying out cold. "Guys…Guys, wake up; you've gotta see this" he said, while shaking each of them.

Upon being shook, Beast Boy only gave a soft moan as a response. "Not now, Mommy; I no wanna go to school today." Robin tried again by prodding Raven's side with his staff.

To which, the young demoness grasped it tightly in her hand with a soft growl. "Poke me again and this stick goes down your throat" she said in a tired yet threatening tone. "Sorry…but you guys have got to see this" he pleaded.

With a frustrated groan, Raven sat up and decided to humor her leader. Upon observing her surroundings, however; her mood quickly changed. Finally, the remaining three Titans awakened…after Cyborg administered a Wet Willy into Beast Boy's ear.

The feel of cold saliva coupled with the cold touch of his metal hand shot him out of his slumber, in an instant. "EEEYUCK! Dude, was that really necessary" he grumbled, while cleaning his right ear with a disinfectant wipe. "Now that you've all had your nap, could someone please explain…"
Raven swiftly ended her tirade, upon looking over their surroundings. All around them were tall, mighty trees. Grassy fields coated with beautiful flowers and the sky was as blue as the open sea.

"By X'hal" cried Starfire, clasping her hands with delight; "this forest is breathtaking." Beast Boy took on the form of a hummingbird and tasted the nectar of several flowers with great satisfaction. "Man, these flowers are beautiful" he exclaimed, "I dunno…something feels off" murmured Robin while scratching his chin.

"Hang on, dude; I'll check to see where we are" he said, while typing at his right wrist. Soon after, several screens attempted to scan their whereabouts. But all that was shown were repeated images of red screens.

"Any luck, Cy" questioned Robin, "not even close…it keeps sayin' there's no signal found here" he answered in confusion. This revelation surprised each of them and they began to wonder if Light messed with his systems. "I don't think Light did this" Cyborg stated, "must've been that light we saw before."

"Well, whatever the issue is; we're not going to find out by standing here" Raven added. Suddenly, their conversation came to a screeching halt; when a revelation hit them. "Uh…guys, anybody see Doctor Light anywhere" asked Beast Boy.

It was then that they realized that Light was nowhere to be seen. "Must've scampered away, while we were unconscious" Robin said bitterly, "we better spread out and find him, quick!" Everyone nodded and prepared to disperse, until a sudden gurgling sound disrupted the atmosphere.

Each of the Titans looked at one another sheepishly. "Uh…permission to take a lunch break before patrolling, Rob?" inquired Beast Boy. The Boy Wonder was poised in denying the request.

But the incessant gurgling from his own belly silenced his words quickly. "UGH! Alright…but just for five minutes then, back on duty" he decreed. The Titans all nodded in agreement and proceeded to leave the area.

They walked through the glade and up a nearby hill, hoping to spot the city. "Don't know 'bout y'all but I'm gettin' hungry for some Baby Back Ribs about now" shouted Cyborg, licking his lips hungrily. Beast Boy could only grimace at the exclamation.

"Dude, how could you enjoy eating something that was practically yanked out of an animal's body?!" he cried with disgust. "But is not milk also yanked from a cow's body?" questioned Starfire. This made him even sicker "that's precisely why I drink soy milk" he decreed.

"B, you realize that there's no meat in milk…right?" he asked playfully. "DUDE! It's squeezed right out of a cow's teets, that's extremely painful" he cried. This made Raven look at him inquisitively.

"How, exactly would you know about that?" she asked suspiciously, "uh…well, I…um…I've seen a lot of documentaries, okay?" shouted Beast Boy. This statement resulted in Cyborg guffawing loudly at him. "You, watchin' documentaries; that'll be the day!

The three other Titans giggled, while BB only walked away in a huff. "Nuts to you guys, I'll see ya at the top" he grumbled, crossing his arms. Raven quickly ceased her giggling and followed after Beast Boy.

"Come on, Beast Boy" she pleaded monotonously, "it was a joke, you of all people have shared your own collection of jokes before." "Yeah, well; they weren't all at my expense" he grumbled, as he reached the top of the hill. What he saw next was so surprising, his jaw almost struck the grassy floor.

"Duuuudes! I think you should come see this" he called out to the others. The remaining Titans either ran or floated to the top and reached Beast Boy's side. "Did you find the city, friend" questioned Starfire, "well, I found someplace…but it don't look like Jump City" he answered.

They looked down and were met with a startling surprise. In the distance, they saw what looked like a village. Almost like something out of a fantasy novel or video game.

"Guys, I know this sounds cliché…but I don't think we're in Kansas anymore" chimed Beast Boy. "What happened…did that portal take us through time or something?" questioned Robin. "Wish I could tell ya, dude…but my tech still ain't workin'!" grumbled Cyborg, beating at his arm.

"Friends, perhaps those riders could tell us our whereabouts" suggested Starfire. The others all gave her confused glances, "what riders, Star?" asked Cyborg. At that moment, Beast Boy's ears twitched at the sound of stampeding horse hooves nearby.

"Star's right, dudes" he stated, "I can hear some coming right toward us." Robin took out his binoculars and surely enough. He spotted a group of horsemen riding up the base of the hill.

"Good, maybe they can tell us where we are" stated Robin. "Along with a place where we can get some grub too" grumbled Cyborg, patting his belly. As the riders reached their location, the Titans gasped in surprise.

Each of the horsemen was fully dressed in steel battle armor and either carried blades, bows, spears or knives at their sides. "Dudes...I think we've stumbled onto some kind of Ren Faire location" Beast Boy quipped, his knees shaking. "I don't think they're here for a reenactment, Beast Boy" murmured Robin, his hand easing close to his bo staff.

Upon noticing this, one of the knights unsheathed his sword and pointed it at Robin. This caused the other Titans to stand in battle formation alongside him. "Look, fellas; whoever you are…you don't know who you're up against" Raven stated, her hands glowing black.

One of the riders took notice of this and performed a series of gestures with his free hand. This caused a green rune to appear on each of Raven's hands. She dismissed this and thrust her hands forward with a strong "Azarath Metrion ZINTHOS!"

But much to her shock and surprise, nothing happened. She tried it again but her magic didn't respond. Soon, Raven noticed that with each attempt at using her magic; the runes glowed brightly.

"Raven, what is the matter" asked Starfire, "it's these marks; they're blocking my magic, somehow" Raven replied. "Hang on, girl; I have ya" shouted Cyborg, drawing out his sonic cannon. Only to discover that his reserves were dying slightly.

"Dang, I don't have enough power to blast these dudes!" he cried with dismay. To which one the riders only laughed and proceeded to knock him over the head with the pommel of his sword. Starfire proceeded to strike next by utilizing her laser vision.

But it was blocked effortlessly by one of the knights' shields, much to her dismay. He then threw a bolas around her torso. Which sent out an electrical shock, knocking her out. Angry at seeing three of his pals brought down.

Beast Boy changed into a raging gorilla and attacked the knights. This sudden display of power took them all off guard and dispersed. But upon gaining some distance, one of them fired a dart into the primate's neck.

With a tired grunt, Beast Boy slowly fell to his knees and landed sleepily on the grass. Now, only Robin remained to face the riders. But upon seeing his teammates each be defeated so easily, he had no choice but to surrender.

As the Boy Wonder laid down his staff and sat on his heels. One of the riders jumped off his saddle and proceeded to bind each of them accordingly. Afterward, each Titan was placed on the rear of each of the knights' horses.

"Before we go anywhere; can you, at least tell me where you're taking us" questioned Robin. The riders each nodded at one another and the leader gestured towards the village. But he said no more, after that.

With their quarry collected, the knights "escorted" the Titans to the village. Leaving Robin to wonder who they were, where they were and what exactly, did the knights want from them?
