Too Much Red: New Nemesis

By: Pakkrat

Chapter 3: Tiamat, Queen of Chaos... and EVIL

Note: Thank you too Psychic Werewolf Assassin, a great writer if I may say. His characters and writing gives me a nice bit of junk to look forward too every so often, along with my friend Z. Brite, Shekron Kaizar, Professor Curly, and A-Queen-Of-Scales all who are magnificent writers of their own attributes. Oh, a little nudity for a certain demon goddess, but nothing serious! Mainly evil fun, tee-hee!

Rasco is standing with the one eyed man in front of him. The name Pakku screamed had to be wrong, or this wasn't him, really. "Slade? Is that even possible?"

Slade's eye flickers gold as it leers on the enemy. Rasco realizes this was a damn robot. Slade scrambles forward giving off his flurries of punches and kicks, Rasco was pretty good hand to hand but not excellent. Slade was thrashing the palm strikes along the blocked arms of Rasco but Rasco was not able to dodge the grab of his arms with one palm, then the second one plowed straight in his stomach. As Rasco reels from that strike Jimmy is running up behind Slade.

Jimmy smirks as Slade turns back around. Jimmy has morphed to a Griffon, the upper body of the eagle and underbody of the lion. Flapping with talons ready Slade draws a staff and begins bouncing off these talons with his weapon. Jimmy screams a call as he flies up on his hind legs and strikes more fierce strikes of the claws and far back lunges and pecks of the sharp beak. Slade finally moves the way he wants, and plows the staff end into the griffon's snapping face and pokes the eye. It winces back and Slade leaps up and makes a horizontal strike over the back of the head, then landing he turns back and flings fierce rib snapping thwacks to the now screaming griffon.

Roth looks over, "Azerath Metrion Zinthos!" one of the metal pillars are ripped out from the ground and swung to smash at Slade, but Slade sees and jumps over the pillar letting it pass him and hit another pillar making it topple slightly now leaning like the tower of Pisa. Slade lands back down and glared his fierce eye on Roth, then swings his backhand over his shoulder to the griffon trying to bite his shoulder putting it down. Roth is shifting her eyes before floating behind another pillar. Slade stomps over with his arms at his sides, fists held tightly he turns around the corner of the pillar and sees Roth is gone.

Slade looks up, seeing Roth he leaps back grabbing his staff at his side but he has it being pulled away. Slade looks over and is wide eyed with a second Roth! Then, a third one grabs his left arm, a fourth his right, a fifth his legs along with a sixth. Slade is covered by these Roth's as the one Roth in the air has her hands cupped at her left side, "Azerath Metrion…" the hands spark a black energy, "Zinthos!" and the hands are flung out with the black sparks flaring on Slade and the many Roth's that held him disappear before Roth hits in purple smoke. Slade is going crazy with the sparks flaring all over his form and his body twitching. Slade then stops and falls on his knees, his form smoldering the eye is blank and he falls over on his chest with no more fight. The teenagers all crowd around, seeing Roth they begin congratulating her.

The parents are jumping and screaming at the outcome. Pakkurath smirked his tusks saying, "She is proving an adept student."

"She certainly is, brother." Pakku turns to the shining metallic form of Pakkarath. Soon after they separated Pakkarath took to his form of the balanced aura they once shared. The balance of life Pakka was a machine version of his brother, his form a moving and living metal flesh with six red eyes and no nose or mouth. His hairs are held with metal bangs falling over the front, and having his long metal trench he crosses his two arms over his chest with two feet clamping over the floor.

"So Pakku let me guess, you never informed Roth that form has the power to give one the ability to split apart but for each one of them injured the injuries return to the original after disappearing. She could kill herself if she uses that power and all forms are hurt badly."

Raven and Robert both looks wide eyed. Pakku just glares, "I told her that. She chose to use that shadow image technique anyway." He looks back at the battle, "Besides she's not stupid. She knows how to use it. Better than giving my student a bike."

"That bike you so refer of is very useful. Especially for Rasco." Pakka steps over to Raven and nods, "Hello old friend."

"Hi. So you're still not on best of terms?"

Pakka looks to Pakku who is glaring at the teenagers, readying the next tests, "He and I have been meeting Akaige a lot. We even thought we lost him once but… well…"

Pakku hears that statement, "They don't need to know about her." The others look at him. Pakku seems more agitated now, Pakka just nods and turns to the parents and sees their concern, whispering he says, "It is best to not talk about it."

Cyborg smiles slapping Pakka on the shoulder, "Well, how long has it been since you saw that shadow-punk?"

"A while back we had a situation with a Bloody Angel prophecy. Another reality where Raven here was being used as a portal for Trigon."

"Gee, you'd think he'd come up with something better."

"Sadly no, and Akaige was playing your father for his own needs. I feel their relationship is becoming more and more slim."

"Good." Raven gives a glare, "If Akaige looses that ally maybe we have a better chance."

Pakku snaps, "Hey!" the people look over, "I'm going to start the next test! Get over here!"

The teenagers are sitting and relaxing. Rasco looks up and smiles at his sister, "So Pakku did teach you a lot of magic."

"Yes but Pakka taught you how to fight. I'm more in the idea of using my magic where you can use your skills." Roth kind of sighs, "I can't believe these tests."

Jimmy rubs his jaw, "That dude was tough. Robot or not I can see why dad hates those old movies about Slade and the others."

Saber sniffs the air, "I think something else is coming." She gets up and grins her fang like grin, "I think Nova, Victor, and I can take this one you guys take a little breather."

Roth and Rasco glare as Jimmy falls on his back, "Like we weren't?"

Three more figures drop from the roof. The other teens look at these attackers, Saber is shocked at one, as was Victor. Nova was not too stunned though she recognizes the three attackers the lead female screaming "Attack Pattern Alpha!"

Pakkurath chuckles with, "Program stage002, H.I.V.E."


Karage the young Kagejin female woman makes slowly to the coliseum. She found more Kagejin on her way all make to bowing to her or just passing her. Karage was recognized as one of the few higher Kagejin, those who are in hand reach to Akaige at nearly all time. Karage makes a turn into the small closed in seats of Akaige and herself, she sits next to Akaige's left side, and Gaikotsu the general is at his right. Gaikotsu is a skeleton looking demon with the head of a dragon and human like qualities with similar dragon qualities. His eyes are golden at the moment, the slits of the reptilian form leer at the fight ahead. Karage sees the golden eyes have a slow change of green; he was one that often only changes in battle.

In the arena before them, seats circle around the cave room on rising levels like any other stadium the major view circles the dirt patch in the center. In this arena four other Kagejin of random look and form try desperately to take down a fifth Kagejin. The fifth Kagejin was gigantic, and walked on all fours. It had three claws on each leg and those legs bent like a lizard as was the beast itself. Its head had a wide head with three horns; two came from the sides of the jaw and one from the forehead. The ones at the jaw curved in like pincers while the top horn merely pointed up with a minor curve like a blade. Its small red eyes glare within the hard skull and flesh, a mouth that clasps fast and hard the fangs are rowed like a shark. The beast had a stubby tail that sways with its large paws slamming the other Kagejin on the ground, up the walls, and in some instances it plows its head into the others making them fly up and around.

Gaikotsu is smiling while Karage watches the scene continue and cringes. "Huh? What's wrong lady Karage?"

Karage looks to Gaikotsu, "This is not fair four of them against that one."

"What? This is a free-for-all match! Those four just know…" Gaikotsu ducks as one of the fighting Kagejin is flung over his head then looking up he finishes, "Those tree, just know that brute is a little more trouble than the other contenders. Take down him and then worry about the other punks."

Karage looks back seeing the beast Kagejin scream its loud roar on one Kagejin that looks something like a person with green skin, a long nose and tusks, and the hair in a Mohawk before it was screamed and straightened back, "Hey, my hair!"

The beast stomps up and with its front puffed it snarls before slamming its mouth down on this Kagejin then with its legs dangling the beast swings its head back to finish the swallow. Gaikotsu laughs as Karage is now shielding her eyes, "Make them stop!"

"Trust me; they would be more upset if you stopped them." Karage looks at Akaige as he strolls over and sits in his central seat. Looking at the fight with his hood up Akaige raises a claw to his chin and watches the remaining Kagejin fight like before. "It is their nature to fight Karage. Besides, once the fight is over those dead I will revive."

"That does not make it right. They are ripping each other apart." Akaige turns his face to her side, "Karage, this is their choice."

"Yeah! Besides, look at the souvenirs!" Gaikotsu holds up an arm of the one Kagejin that had been consumed, "Sure, I have to give it back but still."

"Ahh!" Karage shields her eyes again and Akaige glares at Gaikotsu who simply shrugs, "What?"

"Karage." Akaige reaches over and grabs her shoulder she looks up a little red in embarrassment the touch of her lord always make her feel special, "Your concern is understandable they are our brothers and sisters by shadow. Still, the fact when they go into the coliseum they are choosing to do this. Would you take from their joy?"

The battle ends, the beast is victor and the spectator Kagejin all cheer the ordeal. Soon Akaige looks over and applauds, "What the hell did I miss?" he murmurs to Gaikotsu, he states wide eyed, "It lifted its leg and… it was like acid…"

Akaige coughs, "Oh… never mind then. Well done brother…" Gaikotsu whispers and Akaige shifts his eyes, "Er… sister. You are victor today!"

The beast roars up to the air and stomps its front legs. Akaige moves his claw to the arena and those other Kagejin destroyed soon seem to reform in mist. The applause continues as they lay semi-beaten, "A grand performance all of you! Now, to the next battle!" the crowds scream and roar mixed in enthusiasm.

Akaige sits back in his seat as Karage looks around, "They like this… why don't I?"

"Because you're weird." Gaikotsu says this and she gives a glare, "I am not!"

"Are too!"

"Am not!"

"Are too!"

"Am not!"

They do this a couple times before Akaige slams his claw fist, "Would you behave so I may enjoy the fight?" Akaige watches the next set of demons entering the arena as he enjoys the coliseum. Then he turns his head to the side. "Tiamat?" Karage raises a brow as Gaikotsu looks over, "Do you need my assistance lord?"

"No I think I'll do the spell myself. You stay and keep an eye on the fight." Akaige stands having Karage standing to follow. He leaves and looks back as she was in the halls with him, "This is a personal matter Karage. You would be best to stay here."

"Why do you deal with those beings?"

Akaige turns back around, "What? You mean the other demons? Tiamat is not just any demon, she is the queen of chaos and goddess of evil."

Karage shrugs, "Could you not just stay here?"

"She is my mistress now Karage, I must answer." Akaige turns but Karage's voice catches him, "She…" he raises a brow to the cold voice, and nothing like Karage. He turns and sees her right brow is twitching, "This, Tiamat, is a she? Why did you not mention… her… sooner?"

Akaige shrugs, "It was not important. I must be going now." He makes to his throne room as Karage stood with her hands tightly gripping the rim of her dress, "I must meet this Tiamat…"


Saber is sweating as she pushes off the younger version of her father, Mammoth. Worse is Vincent who tries his best to keep his athleticism between the young Jinx and himself. She skids to the side as he tries to run, so soon they are so close that her hexes begin to spark undeniably close to his body. Nova flies in the air tossing bolts of hers at Gizmo, he's young like before and they each have their H.I.V.E. uniforms, but golden eyes are in the place of their normal color.

Saber pushes off her hands with her feline appearance growing, eyes slinking and fangs protruding more her muscles tighten all over her body. She was ripped when she uses her full power and soon she and Mammoth are pushing so hard off each other the ground they both bare on with their feet begins to break up under the balms of their feet. Mammoth screams before trying to fling her into the air. Saber is in the air but she twirls with her tail rolling like a ball and yo-yo. Soon she is at the peak of the ascension and she then sprawls out her legs and arms with the hiss of a feral cat then looking with her slinked eyes she plummets down with long claws ready. Mammoth puts up his arms but Saber unleashes with her falling feet kicks that keep her bouncing up then down again with more kicks. Mammoth groans with each falling kick then hop, before he removes the block and grabs her ankles, now she swings down on her stomach and latches her arms on his wrists digging deep with the claws. Mammoth roars then swings down anyway bringing her on her back Mammoth smiles as she reels on the ground with pain, but she soon flares her face, with nose scrunching on in hate, ready for the next unleashing of scratches with a spry leap to a pounce on the large man.

Vincent jumps back from a sparking hex to now realize he must do the same. Tossing his own hexes Jinx and Vincent act in full swing, each hex breaking the one last thrown from the other. Vincent smiles until Jinx puts up her arms and begins cart wheeling past the sparks. Vincent is caught off guard as Jinx pushes off her hands towards the end and somersaults behind his back. Vincent turns, horrified as Jinx holds two bolts at her hip with a wide grin. The two hexes hit Vincent plowing him up and on top of one of the pillars from before. Vincent lays there a moment before pushing up off his palms and seeing the pillar, "Hold on… these are… hey!"

Gizmo is flying with his metal wings while Nova chases after tossing her green bolts. She learned from her mother how to fight with her powers. When Gizmo stops short and lets her fly in front of himself to then sneak up on her, he learns she learned other fighting techniques from her father. Gizmo tries to fire his two guns but Nova has already turned back around and fires two bolts off removing them. Now charging she gets in close, Gizmo is overtaken by her punches and kicks that his small form is now bobbing with her strikes until after so many she finally strikes a full punch in his chest and to the wall. Nova readies to attack again but Vincent screams, "Yo! I have a plan, get over here!" he then screams down to Saber, "You too! Get up here!"

Saber looks up with Mammoth still under her with her claws sharp. She jumps on the pillar and climbs to the top of its metal form with Nova landing next to Vincent. "Okay so what is the plan?"

Jinx, with a very torn and damaged Gizmo and Mammoth leap onto the pillar adjacent of the three heroes. Vincent smiles widely as he lays his hands on the ground, "Run." The girls are confused, but the way the pink energy starts to swirl off his arms to his hands, and then down around the pillar they finally get the feeling to get off and so they do. The next thing they see is Vincent back flipping off with the three villains running to their end of the pillar. The pillar then sparks with many explosions, including the spot the teens once were. When the pillar was gone the three villains are seen with rubble all around them, the rubble covering over the broken pieces of the villains. Saber and Nova hug Vincent giggling, he is turning totally red saying, "This… is totally okay." His nose then bleeds a little, "Heck, this is better than okay!"

The parents smile on the events, Cyborg slaps his hands with Mammoth, "Booya! Did you see what my son did?"

Mammoth screams "Hell, did you see what my little girl did?" he blushes, "Well, she did it to me kind of… but still! She did it like a pro!"

"She sure did honey… makes me think about taking you back home and laying my claws into you too!" Kitten furls her brows, "Know what I mean?"

"Ohh…"

The parents are all talking and chatting as Pakkurath looks at the teenagers resting and taking a breather. "That's right take a little rest. When the next test begins you'll need all the help you can get." Pakkurath looks over to Pakkarath, "Isn't that right brother?"

Pakkarath nods, "It is the only way to know they are ready."


The shadows seemed to rise in this depressing place. Soon stepping from them was Akaige with his hood still drawn up. He made past several demons, stopping and backing a step as two winged demons slam on the ground fighting then roll past. Akaige knew they were pissed for being trapped here like this and the fighting just sort of happens. Akaige then moves farther past these lower demons to the entrance to his mistress, Tiamat. Akaige steps forward and he feels the shifting of the air, Tiamat has flapped her wings, yawning.

"I'm becoming bored Akaige what do you bring of news?"

Akaige bows his head and falls on one knee, she with her five heads look on with mixed feelings, the two to the back are fighting with each other as the two in the middle simply are confused. The central, main speaking head of Tiamat glares with simple boredom, "Akaige, rise and tell me your news. Perhaps it will alleviate my moods."

"Of course my mistress." Akaige has only been working as a direct minion of Tiamat for a little bit, but he has never known the loyalty he shares to her before. Something about Tiamat called him to be at her side like a destiny he never knew. The code of honor, or maybe his simple pleasure in finding one like himself with cruelty and power their greatest strives kept him returning and offering his absolute loyalty at all times. "As for Trigon he continues to watch the Arbiter. He has lost all interest in other conquests I dare say he's obsessed. That, and he forgets our deals in our next conquest, the one with his daughter and a mortal called Robert."

Tiamat raises a brow, "Really? If that is the case you will probably have the honor of destroying that realm all by yourself. How annoying it must be having that much responsibility." Her heads are all smirking and Akaige just smiles back.

"Ah yes destroying an entire dimension, such a pain is it not?" Akaige rises up asking, "Are there any matters you have for me?"

Tiamat groans once more, her many heads seem to flutter on with their own matters except the central one, "Boredom Akaige that is my only true problem as of late. The boredom of being here day after day gives me great migraines and sure enough I can't really find anything else worth my time to do."

Akaige looks around it was pretty bare. "If you wish we may play a game of chess."

"NO!" Tiamat's heads all glare at Akaige, "You cheat!"

Akaige blinks confused, "But… you know I don't!" to that Tiamat snarls, "Then why is it I loose all the time?"

Akaige looks around worriedly, "Um… you merely are rusty from years without skill and tactic. That is the only reason."

"Even so I do not feel that will improve my current dilemma. I need something more… irregular. You know an exciting change, something that will cause some kind of charge and maybe a worthwhile altercation to the ongoing routine of nothingness."

One of the heads blinked, and with a devilish grin it looks to the central one. The central head looks back, and smiling its own grin Tiamat says, "That would be most entertaining."

Akaige gave a confused look as the heads all turned on him, Tiamat asks "Akaige, what do you think of this form?"

"Pardon?" Akaige looks a little more confused but complies, "Your form is strong, intimidating at times, but truly the fact it is house to the power of absolute evil makes sense such form is necessary."

Tiamat's eyes leer playfully now, and in something of a large crackle and blinding light with storming winds Akaige falters back covering his eyes. When the winds and light cease Akaige removes his arms and is letting his jaw hang slightly, "Mistress?"


Karage was standing with a great deal of concern. Akaige was meeting his 'Mistress', and yet again he puts that being before her. Karage often felt difficult with Akaige but now with Tiamat his attention leave her many times a day. Karage makes several floating passes in the throne room. She then stops and thinks, "If Akaige can see this Tiamat, than certainly I may as well! I simply need to figure out the spell he used to see her!" Karage turns to the many potions, powders, and other materials used in the spell. She grimaces before thinking loudly, "This may take some time…"


Tiamat has done something few ever saw her do alter her form. She was a goddess, so it makes sense if she wanted she could do so. Rumor says Bahamut and Leviathan have done it before when meddling in mortal affairs. Tiamat did not stray from her form too much, as she still has golden scales for her skin, but her form was slender, and humanoid. Having the yellow eyes she did before with black slits for the pupils she looks over Akaige mainly for tell tale signs of what he thought, the way he now kept his face down made her think maybe her plan was working.

Tiamat's body has armor over her arms and legs, the armor was actually her other heads which were living and looking at Akaige with as much humor as Tiamat. Tiamat's hair had become golden and shined more than her body; the hair fell over her back and front long covering her chest but her lower extremities still seemed noticeable. Tiamat was not at all embarrassed about this ordeal, her black glossed lips of her humanoid self twist up wickedly as she crossed her arms over her chest, brushing her upper extremities that did seem endowed indeed, and pivoting on her one hip she cocks her head asking, "What about this form Akaige? Is it less… intimidating?"

Akaige coughs, "I find your true form is more recognizable." He looks up and then down again, "Also, less distracting than this one."

Tiamat has a set of wings flapping up on her back, and her tail sways slightly above the ground excitedly with Akaige's embarrassed actions, "Hm, you seem distraught Akaige. Perhaps you need something… to relax you."

Akaige was more confused as she walked towards him. Standing up tall Akaige makes a step back, "Perhaps it is time I leave you mistress. I do have a conquest to partake in!"

Now up against him, literally, she pushes herself onto his chest making Akaige's hood loose it's hiding powers, his cheeks blood red Tiamat smiles her fangs as the armor seems to clatter in joy, "Akaige! You do seem so tense! It would not be proper to let my loyal servant leave without something of a more relaxed look. I know ways to," her tail rubs across Akaige's one leg, "Refresh, and revitalize your demonic self."

"Sweet Kage…" Akaige looks over his shoulder, "This is very…" he stops, and turning back his own fangs are grinning, "You are perhaps correct mistress. Why, how many times do demons like me get the auspicious chance to be with one such as yourself?"

Tiamat blinks and then smiles, "Oh, so you realize then?" She sighs and takes a step back now giggling to herself, "You certainly did seem frightened Akaige. This was most entertaining."

"I would guess boredom causes many to do strange things." Akaige chuckles to himself before looking over Tiamat once more, she noticed and glares her eyes, "Forgive me mistress but the form you choose is very… VERY good for what you planned it for."

"My minions and worshipers often are of the darker styles of romanticism. Lust, temptation, seduction all seems to be their play on romance and so I choose off of those many attributes that give each a different luster." Tiamat shrugs, "It was nothing really."

"Perhaps." Akaige does a bow of at his stomach and looks at her again in the eyes, "However your true form, like I said it is much more befitting. I feel it is more your true self than this one and it too has its qualities or beauty."

Tiamat rises a brow with her smile a little eviler, "Could I seduce you with my true form?"

"If you ever wished to seduce me, honestly, you merely would have to make the proposal and I would most definitely leap at the occasion. Though your true form would seem most difficult to be with this one might be more my taste in that matter."

"Ah an interesting idea. If my boredom reaches such a peak I may see what the great Kagejin lord is truly capable of doing. If you have as much power lovemaking as in battle, it might actually prove interesting." She glares her fangs with a glimmer of terror, "However, those whom I have mated with and did not satiate, I did bite their heads off!"

Akaige shifts uneasily, "As if being with a goddess would not have been enough pressure, now survival issues? You do certainly know how to ruin the mood mistress."

Tiamat laughs to the air with the large surge of energy and winds growing. Akaige stands there letting his hood flap around as Tiamat was once again her true self. Stepping over to her throne, Tiamat sat again and laughs to her servant, "That was entertaining. I should be amused for a little while. Keep me posted on Trigon and his dealing with the Arbiter as you can."

"Do not worry over the Arbiter. His youth is still at play it will most likely take time for him to turn into a warrior." Akaige looks back to the entrance, "Then again last I heard he was supposed to be joining some kind of team. Trigon made it very clear of its importance."

Tiamat looks over and raises a brow, "So what do you find about this Arbiter?"

Akaige looks back, "If he is as powerful as you say I respect him for that, and I only hope he will respect me enough to prove worth my time. In truth, some enemies I kill, some I hunt, and some I try best to find in respectable combat. Either way, which ever this one shows to be I will find it most interesting if I do ever get a chance to challenge him."

Akaige makes to leave. When he is out of the chamber Tiamat looks to her other heads, they are all hissing in low laughter, "He is an irregular demon. I do not think I have seen one so peculiar since Peter himself. However, unlike Peter this one should prove more useful and valuable."


Karage tries to re make the portal. She does make a nice sized fire, but no portals. A portal does open and out of it Akaige exits. He blinks his eyes before she looks over with the raging flames, "Akaige! Welcome back!"

"… I'm not even going to ask." Akaige smirks to himself walking past her. Karage blushes before tossing some powder putting out the fire. She runs to the side of Akaige and asks "What did Tiamat wish of you this time?"

"She merely wished for some knowledge of Trigon. That and she had some proposals for me." Akaige chuckles to himself, "Very interesting ones at that."

"What kinds of proposals?" Akaige looks shiftily, "Nothing you would need to concern over. What happened with the coliseum?"

"I left soon after. I am not sure what has happened."

Akaige stops dead, "You left Gaikotsu in charge of the coliseum games? Alone?"

The two turn into the coliseum finding Gaikotsu drooling, in the arena many Kagejin female demons are fighting in mud, tearing at their outfits and hair the other male Kagejin watching are cheering and the females are either sighing or pulling their mates out by the ears. Akaige and Karage look equally confused, Gaikotsu looks back up with a giant smile, "I should do this more often!"

Akaige glares at Karage, "I hate when he does this…"

"As do I my lord."


The teenage team has gone through some rough fights. Alternating their team again and again they fought their parents, the Teen Titans, Titans East, and Ternion the beast made by Cinderblock, Plasmus, and Overload as simulations. Now they figure it was close to being over. They were mostly right, but one more test was going to be done.

Rasco is lying on a pillar breathing heavily, "This is getting wild."

Nova nods, "Yes, very disturbingly problematic!"

Roth sort of shrugs, "I figure they can't throw much more at us."

Saber looks over with Jimmy, "Are you stupid! That's the worse thing to say."

"Yeah, it's worse than say, 'You and what army?'"

At this point a small army of drones, Slade's old drones, seem to rise out from the floor. Vincent glares at Jimmy snarling, "You just had to say something, didn't you?"

The teens go ballistic now trying to tear into the army quick and forcefully. Saber with her body full flux makes with her claws tearing the tin men down fast. Roth uses her spells, slicing and dicing them with sickle like beams. Rasco is using his powers too; in his demonic form he tosses several machines back, then forging from his hands black blue mist the mist solidifies into two black energy swords that he uses to cut down several drones that get too close. Nova is airborne, she tosses her bolts all around exploding the drones, on the ground Vincent uses his hexes the same way but they make larger explosions with every mechanical flaw being enhanced trough his knowledge of their robotics. Jimmy turns to a winged hoarse with a horn on its head, the horn is like a javelin in length and so he pierces the drones and then tosses them high up in the air back down on their allies.

When it was over, all the battle was done. The drones all lay broken and destroyed. The young heroes step into a circle and smile, a cheer into the air they clap their hands together. Then there is a large crackle, a boom, and soon the teens are tossed away from each other in separate directions. Roth stands up, her right shoulder is bleeding and she grabs it, "Wow, this is really painful!"

Vincent looks at her injury being the closest to her, "Whoa! This is real! I mean, you're really hurt!"

"Of course!" screams the voice of Pakkurath as he floats down with his left arm still sparking red bolts across it and to the ground around him. "This is the final exam! My exam! If you can beat me you pass… fail…" his brows curve cruelly, "Well, it was nice knowing you!"

Pakku rises up his left arm allowing more sparks to charge. The teenagers have gathered together and Rasco looks with his demon form, "Titans GO!" the six scramble in separate directions, Pakku smirks adding, "They are starting to show some real promise finally."

Note: So what happened? Hardly anyone reviewed the last chapter… that was sad. I'm trying to update more often. More importantly, to Psychic Werewolf Assassin I tried to make Tiamat something around what you did, and added some of what the followers like Mara and Joseph all seemed like, sensual and such as they were in the last chapters. Crimson Arbiter, nice to see a new face and the first villain they face is Pakkurath, then some others including one who calls himself Bata-Boom. Jason, thrilled to see you're still reading. Hope to see you again more often, and thanks for noticing Rasco takes after his mother. Thanks to all my readers and reviewers I hope you enjoyed this chapter!
