Ch3

Before the attack…Right after Cyborg had played Beast Boy's voice and the Titans's silence…It was Jericho who finally had the courage to actually say something about it. "If what Beast Boy said is true…we must help Raven." He said.

"How do you suppose we do that?" Hot Spot asked.

"Therapy," Jericho replied. "Maybe it can help her with what ever that is troubling her."

"Maybe Raven will make the therapist seek a therapist with the way she acts." Terra added, only to the Titans yet again to glare at her to be silent. "I thought it would bring up some spirits."

"Your jokes are just as bad as Beast Boy's." Argent replied, "But his at least try to make humor, Terra."

"What is with you and Raven?" Hot Spot asked.

"Nothing," Terra snapped back. "All she ever done was bring me down…made feel bad about my choices and took away the only thing that has ever cared for me and that was…"

"Beast Boy…?" all the Titans said in chorus.

"Yes." Terra mumbled.

"Listen and I mean it Terra," Robin said, "You hurt BB in the first place…you used him to get to us. Raven ever did was comfort him, like he did when Malchior used her for his selfishness. They grew a bit closer after Adonias attacked her, after he saved her things gone smooth. And this was way before you Terra. Beast Boy and Raven had grown this fragile likeness for each other…and if you seek to ruin it because you screwed up think again." Terra was surprised. Usually the Titans liked her, now that she saw for the first time since the epic battle with Slade and his army…that glare in the Titan's eyes…the glare of unmerciful anger.

"Why are you taking Raven's side?" Terra asked. "She is no fun. Hates to be around us…always creepy and rude…who in the world would care for such a witch!" Suddenly it hit her…Beast Boy again! For the first moment in her life, she started to hate that name as well as Raven's.

"Don't you dare say such mean things to my friend!" Starfire yelled, levitating in the air where a starbolt appeared in her hand.

"For one thing Terra, you don't know Raven as well as we do." Cyborg said for the first time since the recording. "Even though she isn't fun, both rude and creepy…that's how she is. How she ever was and we like our Raven the way she is. Raven is our friend and she cares, even if she doesn't show it she does."

"Next time I hear of you trying to interfere with B and Rea, or anything against her in anyway…you're out of the team." Robin threatened. "Permanently."

Terra felt anger through her veins how she wished she killed Robin now…even better Raven when she had the chance. She knew she couldn't argue with the leader without being thrown out on her arse. Knowing all to well Raven was a founder and insulting her was insulting what she fought for and the team's honor…Terra wreaked it ones…maybe? (this isn't a hint to come)

When Terra was about to again renew the argument…the sirens and red alarms went off (right about this time Beast Boy was going to say the "L" word to Raven…) The Titans obviously turned to the TV screen which turned to what the emergency was…to the Titans worry they saw a dark dressed man with a grimed face skull mask walking what apparently was the Titan garage, with other men of his attire were moving in then the first grim man looked at the screen before the he slide his finger across his neck as to give a sign then the TV monitor went fuzzy.

"We are under at" Robin began to scream when an explosion near the windows shook the tower to the foundations, knocking all the Titans either off there feet, slamming them to the floor or flung back to the farthest wall (which happened to Starfire and Jericho).

With a massive hole, blown near the TV (now gone) harnesses and hooks clipped the edge then climbing up the Tower then making their way was three (the ones that are going after Raven) down the corridor. Then another explosion accord, this time near the back of the room and multiple of the blacked, skull dressed men came pouring through and surround the Titans.

By the time the Titans realized what had happened, they were surrounded by the new enemy, which appeared only ten of them…the seven obviously shaken Titans gazed at their attacks, only to be confused anger, but more afraid.

"Who are you?" Robin yelled clinching a sprang wrist. Some of the other Titans seemed okay, minor cuts and bruises but nothing that'll hold them back from kicking these guy's butts. "Who are you?" he repeated grabbing his now extended staff.

The skull men didn't answer, but their heavy breathing (almost sounding like Darth Vader's) gave an eerie sound that even Robin found creepy…then they reached both arms behind their backs pulling two sword in each hand holding them out to the teenage heroes.

"Who are you? What do you want?" Robin repeated, fear actually in his words.

"We came for the witch-demon." One of them answered. "And your lives!"

"Eternals…attack!" another of them yelled, and all of the surrounded men charged the Titans…who had no way of telling how they going to come out of this…alive.

"Titans Go!" Robin yelled then the Titans charged and meet the Eternals…with a clash.

When Cyborg launched a fist at the nearest Eternal, he expected his fist to make contact with that hideous skull mask. But instead, with skills of an acrobat the Eternal bended his back backward then whipping one of the swords to Cyborg's legs then tripping him. Cyborg fell to the floor with a crash as he slid across it… "Dude, your so going down." Cyborg mumbled angrily. Transforming his arm into the sonic cannon and blasted away. The Eternal dodge the beams charging Cyborg, then he flipped through the air swing one of his legs and smashed into Cyborg's face and the metal man fell to the ground in pain. Cyborg, with a force, knocked him to a back flip which he landed on his face. The Eternal raised one of his one of the sword against his fallen opponent, as to kill, but pierced Cyborg control power, severing several of his mechanical part…within a few seconds Cyborg laid their…shut down and defeated.

After Jericho and Starfire had recovered, three Eternals surrounded them. Starfire fired one of her starbolts at an unexpected enemy, which crumbled to the ground. Quickly the other two started at the two Titans…Jericho, before he could use his mind control ability against one of them, was hit hard by the handle of one of the Eternal's weapons in the back of the head…he crumbled within seconds as the third Eternal did. "Friend Jericho!" Star cried…her eyes showed the fiery green that made her enemies tremble… not these Eternals…Just as Starfire started a volley of bolts at the charging foes. One was hit which sent him flying into the wall…but the second hit his make, just as with Jericho adding the skill that brought Cyborg down…the Eternal flipped through the air swing his leg which hit Star on the right cheek, breaking her concentrations as her enemy hit the back of her head with the handle of his sword… immediately bring down one tough, but charming alien.

Neither Argent or Hot Spot fared any better…five Eternal attacked both at once…Hot Spot made sure two regretted there action while Argent made one of her attackers taste her crimson beams. It wasn't enough…the other two swung his sword and cut Hot Spot's arm. He howled when the attacker sent his other sword, slashed his back and the fierce Hot Spot fell to his knees and collapsed in pain…Argent came to her friend's aid only to get kicked in the stomach, making her lean forward as another punched her in the face sending her into some debris…

Terra flung debris at her encircling attackers, few fell but quickly one came up behind her and thrust his sword into her left leg, but not stabbing all the away through but piercing the leg. Terra cried when one of the Eternal's fists made contact with her face…next second she fell to the ground beaten and humiliated. (I didn't think Terra's fighting was worth these words, but I had to write them)

Now, Robin stood alone, but watched his friend's one by one defeated by these new villains…these freaks. Attacking with his staff managed to hurt few of the Eternals with a thrust to the head, a kick in the gut, one or two punches but it wasn't enough…by the time Robin was overwhelmed the ten attackers launched themselves all at once, Robin feeling the worse felt one of the blades cut across his cheek, kick in the gut that made Robin spit a few bits and pieces of his breakfast then a fist in the eye and the eventual getting hit in the head which brought down the tough, stubborn teenager…as always numbers are superior…

Robin wasn't knocked out, but hurting to get back up. He saw one of Eternal's blade pointing at his neck. The man tilted his head like a curious pup, thinking…to kill or not to kill? What is thy order? But as he held the blade at the Titan's neck he pulled out a walkie-talkie… "Your report?" he said with only static answered…then, "We got her sir! Were making our escape now!"… "Good. Fall back men." The man said, turning his attention to Robin. "See you later, Robin." Slowly drawing his sword away, the ten Eternals' walked out of the once hangout for the Titans, now nothing but a broken ruin…

Once the Eternal's were gone, Robin rose, feeling the pain in his gut and ribs started to help his friends. By the time the Titans were in order, with Cyborg back online, Robin analized the battle…the room, the kitchen was destroyed. Two massive gapes in the West wall and the East wall, with parts of the corridors down away were blown to pieces. The Tower was attacked and the people living in it, the heroes of Jump City were defeated by newbie's, but experience fighters…

"Report." Robin finally asked.

"Tower will need to be repaired." Cyborg said, rubbing a bruised cheek.

"Great." Robin moaned. Clinching his fist in anger for his teams and his failure brought the realization that something was obviously missing. "Any signs of Raven and Beast Boy?"

"None. The explosion also hit the area were Raven's room is. The room is intact but Raven and BB are nowhere to be found." Jerchico said, once he had explored the area.

"Then the attack was a diversion," Robin concluded. "Raven and Beast Boy are missing in action." Suddenly feeling sick to his stomach, his failing are sickening. "Jericho and Terra will search the north of the city, while Hot Spot and Starfire and Argent search the east and west while I search the south…you Cy will stay and start repairing the rooms, will contact you." Every Titan disagreed with the assignment, but had no choice. As each Titan left for the search, while Robin was alone with Cyborg.

"I have a bad feeling man." Cyborg said, wariness and fear shuddered his words. "Those guys are something and fear for BB and Rea."

"Me too. But we can't let them down." Robin said, turning to leave but before glancing at Cyborg again. "Somehow, I think things are going to turn for the worse."

"What do ya mean?"

"We may die fighting man." With that Robin departed…

For the first time since the Titans were organized and challenged, Robin had the strange mind that somehow, who ever these guys were or what they wanted…it might be a bad idea to have team members around. Not now. Not when Raven's and Beast Boy's lives are at stack…but what of the others.

Robin simply didn't know…

(Review please...this may not be my best of the chapters but it has its meaning...CH4 is about the upcoming stranger...so hold on and wait for what happens to our dear Raven and the charming Beast Boy at the hands of the Eternals...again thank you and tell me how it is going so far...N2Darkness)
