Chapter-3:Rivals,Rain,and pain
A man sat atop a penthouse roof looking out at the city,"This city,it-it is so corrupt I can hear the cries of all the people suffering,I once took a vow to save those people,yet that vow was broken,broken the days I lost my home,gone with everyone else,and it is all her fault!"He looked up at the clouded sky,stars barely seen,he sighed,"Even the sky is corrupted and dirty."
He hopped off the roof vanished and reappeared inside,he looked to his so-called friend,one asleep on the couch,one painting with a vacant look,and the last one stuffing his face,all the others were asleep,as he too headed to his room to rest.
The next morning at titan's Tower everyone was going through their morning routine's Beast-Boy was eating some Tofu bacon,and Egg-substitute,Starfire was drinking a one liter bottle of mustard and eating some sort of weird alien food from Tamaran.
Robin was having some coffee and an omelet,while Cyborg was eating a stack of waffles covered n Syrup,Wondergirl was fascinated by this and asked."Hey if your a Robot how come you eat shouldn't you just plug a cord into the wall or something?"As she said that everyone looked at like"Oh no she didn't just say that?
Cyborg glared as he stood up"I'm not hungry!!!"He stormed out of the dining area,Wondergirl shrugged,"Was it something I said?"Robin sighed as he took Donna aside to talk to her,Starfire went after Cyborg,and Raven slinked into the kitchen and put on a pot of tea for herself,Beatboy just sat there not knowing what to do.
Raven looked around,"Where is everyone?"She asked Beast-Boy who sighed,"Your better off not knowing Raven trust me."He explained as he ate,knowing that Cyborg would do best to be left alone for right now.
Robin took Donna to his room and glared at her,"Look Donna Cyborg is really sensitive about being half robot,he thinks it makes him a monster,less than a human,and the fact where he grew up makes that even worse,his whole life he was discriminated against,then he lost his family and turned into what he is now in a horrible accident that cost him all the friends he had,you should never point out what he should and shouldn't be doing!"He explained trying to be stern,but not upset her after all they were old friends.
While Robin was talking with Wondergirl Starfire found Cyborg on the roof looking out at the ocean,"Friend Cyborg are-are you okay?"The young alien princess asked,Cyborg sighed as he turned to face her,"Yeah I guess..................its-its just this happens so much right when I feel like I'm fitting in I'm reminded about what happened,about what I lost."He stated sadly,Starfire tilted her head and hovered around him,"Like what?"She asked,"What did you lose?"Cyborg sighed and shook his head,"My life."
(Cyborg's back story and everyone's will be explained in my coming Secret Origin's chapters which will include the Origin's of all my OC's aswell.)
As everyone was talking the alarm sounded,everyone took attention and headed for the briefing room,Robin looked at he screen,as Beast-Boy asked,"Is it Doctor-Light?"Robin shook his head,"No worse its Slade!"He pointed to the screen and several of Slade's robot's had surrounded City-Hall,and were holding Mayor-Kelso hostage,Robin glared,"Titan's move out!"With that everyone headed for the T-Car.
Barry blinked as he watched TV,"Um guys I think we have a mission today?"He pointed to the TV screen that said:Mayor hostage crisis,City-Hall highjacking. All the teen's got ready and suited up,all seven of them,as they headed to the site,clearly today would be a very exciting day.
The T-Car rushed towards City-Hall as it ran over Slade-Robots all firing at them,Raven was casting spells ad providing cover shattering them and flinging the Robots away,and of course the old levitate a heavy object and smash them,Star-Fire hitting them and shooting Starbolts at them.
After about twenty minutes of this they arrived at City-Hall however a giant robotic worm bearing Slade's colors shot out of the ground and tossed the car into a wall,as Cinder-Block,Overload,and Plamus were waiting for them all,along with another two giant worm-bots,Robin glared then smirked devilishly,"Titan's GO!"He shouted as they all got ready for battle.
Star-Fire flew into the sky and shot at one of the bots with her max power eye-blasts,it fell to the ground then it shot its tail up and hit her hard,another worm knocking her farther with a tailswipe and then the last with a tackle Robin gasped,"Starfire no!"Like that she was outcold as the worm she knocked down rushed up and ate her.
The fight had just started and already one titan was down,Robin wanted to help her,but he was to busy fighting the robot army and the three super-villains that were attacking them. Cyborg was down too thanks to Overload overloading his circuit's and frying his power-cell,all that was left were Beast-Boy,Raven,Robin,and Wondergirl. Wondergirl was floating ad smashing Cinder-Block in the face hard with her Amazon Strength,while Raven was taking on Plasmus and Beast-Boy was defeating Robot after Robt,he had even managed to destroy a worm after it ate him and he turned into a T-Rex ripping it up from the inside out.
Raven lifted the earth around Plasmus and then slammed it mushing him,though he just oozed out and made tendrils that shot at her,they wrapped around her as he constricted like a boa,Raven closed her eyes and shouted"Azarath Metrian Zynthos!"She was engulfed by a massive black energy blast causing Plasmus to splatter everywhere and turn back to his human form. Raven smirked as she cast another spell and tossed Plasmus into a trunk,as Beat-Boy was rushing a robot as a goat then after he rammed it he turned into a Komodo Dragon and tail swiped a bunch.
Robin was tossing Birdarangs and exploding discs around and doing acrobatics jumping from one bot to the next and bashing them with his battle staff,he ran at the worm that took Starfire and tossed a disc as it lashed at him he smirked and let it eat him,then its head exploded and it fell to the ground,he ran down the worms body hoping to find Starfire.
Wondergirl was dodging some of Cinder-Block's attacks then uppercutted him and sending him through the air,she then pulled out her lasso and tied him up before he hit the ground,now he was stuck,trapped by her unbreakable golden Lasso,"You lose Blockhead!"
Overload was chasing beat-boy now who had turned into a Cheetah,and was running for his life,while Raven worked on the huge robot army,Wondergirl was also helping as her and Raven were forced back-to-back,"Damn we're stuck,there's just to many of them!"Raven swore as she kept spellcasting,Wondergirl nodded as she multi-punched a few,"Your right we can't keep this up we're running ragged,I'm even starting to breath heavy,me the strongest teen in Paradise Island!!!"She shouted as they fought the army.
Robin who was running through the worms body as he found the out cold Tamerainian princess,he sighed relieved,"Starfire thank god I'm glad your still in one piece,"He picked her up Bridal style and started to run in the other direction to the exit. Beast-Boy of course was still running trying to do what he rarely did,think of a plan,"Oh man what am I going to do if that thing catches me I won't be able to beat him alone what do I do WHAT?!"He asked himself as he ran then it hit him,"Water,yeah,yeah water come on fire hydrant please have there be one nearby!"He thought as he saw one and ran to it,but after he rammed it and the water shot at overload he flew above it and blasted the now Human beast-Boy with a power electric shot.
Beast-Boy was blasted and hit a wall,"Uhhhhh,Oh-oh man this isn't good."He closed his eyes as Overload jolted at him,a barrier appeared and blocked him,it was a barrier of white energy,and a bird was heard,Beast-Boy smirked"Thanks Raven I owe you one?"He said then saw the figure that appeared,"Your not Raven?!"Standing there was a person in a long white robe,a smirk was seen as the person walked to Overlaod who seemed confused,"I'll handle this you go and save your friends."the figure explained,as Beast-Boy nodded and turned into a Triceratops and ran at the army Raven and Wonder-Girl were fighting.
Robin had dragged Star-Fire from the worm and was trying to wake her up,he sighed and leaned in,"Geez I hope she doesn't get mad I'm about to try this."He leaned in to kiss her,Starfire opened one eye and blushed,Robin was about to kiss her,but something didn't seem right,she shivered and pushed him away,"It is alright Robin I am awake now......................though my Mandablor and Thraxis are injured and I may have twisted a Glarthex."Robin tilted his head confused by this,"Um what does that mean Starfire?"He asked hoping it was not something serious.
Starfire looked sad now,"It means I cannot fly and my strength has been cut in half,in addition to my stomach being very sore and vulnerable to striking."She explained as she stood and slightly wobbled firing a starbolt at an oncoming robot. Robin glared and roared as he attacked a few more,"Damn there's to many we don't have time for this,what else could go wrong?"He shouted and just then Overload flew over to the car Plasmus had been stuffed in and freed him,he awoke and turned back to his monstrous form,then they both went to Cinder-Block merging into Eternion who oozed free from the lasso,it then returned to Wonder-Girl who glared,"Great and I thought they were ugly before."Raven groaned and nodded,"That is exactly what I said he first time they fused,I feel like hurling every time I see it."
Eternion roared as it shot several tendril hands and grabbed Robin,Raven,Sarfire,Beast-Boy,and Wondergirl with its large ooze,and stone meshed hands,running electricity through them and electrocuting them all. All the titans screamed in pain as Robin tried to get free,just then what looked like a red shockwave cut the tendril arms and he titans all landed on soft beds that seemed to appear from nowhere,as A giant blade of energy fell from above and cut Eternion in two,it screamed in pain and stepped back,six figures appeared as the robot army got behind Eternion,one a young man in a blue cloak smirked and turned,"remember me Blue-Mystic?"He asked then faced the enemy,"I brought my friends we'll heal you and hold these guys off you get to the mayor okay?"He asked,Robin nodded as a young girl in a semi-short skirt a face mask,curled yet spiky blond hair and a stripped gothic-esq costume walked upto them,"I will help with healing,our leader shall too you don't need to worry."She explained with a very blank look on her face.
Robin seemed confused,as a bright white light appeared,and a large white and gold bird emerged from the ground,Raven gasped as she saw this,the being in the white robe appeared,he looked around the battle field and smirked,then he shouted,"Azarath Metrion Zynthos!!!!!"and like that a holy light washed all the titan's but Raven who placed a barrier of darkness over herself,after the light faded the being was gone and Robin,Starfire,Beast-Boy,and Wondergirl were all healed,but all now asleep,all but Raven.
Raven warped over to Robin and woke him up by shaking him,"Robin,Robin,Robin wake up!"She shouted,Robin groaned as he held his head and woke up,"Raven what happened?"He asked,the empathic young girl sighed"You were placed in a healing trance,come on we need to go save Mayor-Kelso!"She explained,Robin looked around"But what about the others?"The now teen wonder asked,Raven shook her head,"It would be to hard to awaken all of them and it would take to long come on!"She shouted as they ran towards City-Hall entrance,Blue-Mystic smirked as he watched them"Night will keep tabs on them,heh looks like boss was wrong that goth didn't fly off and run away."
As they busted the door open and started running for the mayor's office,more slade robot's got in their way,but they were no match for Robin and Raven,Robin tossed several birdarangs at the on coming robots while raven used her magic to either toss something at one or rip it apart with just her powers,after a while they arrived at the office and they walked in,four robots waiting and Slade looking over the city from the mayor's balcony,he could see everything from the balcony that was on the sixth floor of city hall,he turned as he went to face the Titan's. Slade opened his eye as he looked at Raven and Robin,"I see the others won't be able to make it today eh Robin?"The man clad in the black and Orange armor asked.
Robin glared"They got hurt because of you,now tell me what your planning Slade before I beat it out of you!!!"Robin shouted,Slade merely shook his head,hands behind his back in a dignified manner,"Now why would I do that Robin when its much more fun to listen to your foolish deductions,after all you always amuse me so much Robin,you who wear a mask,you who pretend to be what you are not,you who hide your face even from your friends,you know all their real names don't you?"He asked as he paced around the room,then stopped at the desk,"It should only be fair they know yours dear boy,after all how can one trust one they can know nothing about?"
Robin was shaking with rage as he listened then he shouted"Shut up you have no place to lecture me slade,my friends may not know my name or true face,but they trust me and I trust them."He yelled as he pulled his staff out and rushed at Slade,Raven pushed the robots to the wall as Slade ducked and tossed Robin through and window and out onto the balcony.
Raven gasped"Robin!"She shouted as she was about to fly after him,when just then a bola was tossed around her,she tried to faze through it but she couldn't Slade snickered as he looked at her,"Nth Metal mesh impossible to escape from if you use magic as you do Raven,now it is time I ended Robin!"He grabbed a blade off the desk and walked outside Raven gasped as she finally realized something,"It-its not him,that's not really Slade!"
Slade ran at Robin with the blade and slashed hard,Robin rolled out of the way and tossed another Birdarang at him,Slade swatted it away with the sword as he slashed at Robin several times,he holding it with both hands,left above right,as Robin barley managed to dodge the attacks,his costume getting slightly cut,as he fired a grappling shot at Slade who dodged,Robin smirked as he retracted it and he was on the roof now taking the high ground,tossing exploding disks at Slade now trying to get the balcony to collapse.
Slade was jumping and dodging the disks as he noticed the balcony was giving way he ran at the wall corner and jumped from side to side on the wall,now on the roof aswell he ran at Robin again,and thrusted with his blade robin was cut but grabbed Slade's arms and uppercutted him then did a reverse spin kick right at Slade's face then tossed an exploding disk at him as it blew up on contact creating a smoke cloud a scream of pain in Slade's voice was heard then a thud.
Robin smirked as the smirked cleared on the ground was Slade cracks and chips all over his armor,his mask cracking more and more,then it shattered and he sat up and stood all the armor falling off,Robin was stunned,behind the armor was a young man with long blond hair,a bandanna wrapped around the upper part of his face and clad in purple and white,skull emblems on his writs and the top of his boots,,he smirked as he had a large claymore blade on his back and an Uzi on waist,"Hello Robin or should I say nice to meet you?"
Robin glared at the boy"Who are you and-and why were you pretending to be Slade?"He asked demanding an answer. The boy shook his head and drew the Uzi,"Pretending?"He asked with a smug look,"Why no I am his new apprentice and more than that his son,it is my duty to avenge the humiliations at your hands from his record,so I thought the best way would be to emulate him so that everyone would know he was the one who killed the Titan's and took over this city!"He shouted as he began to fire Robin ran for cover behind the steeple wondering what to do next,this kid seemed insane and dangerous.
Robin was wondering what to do,as he hid,then the bullets stopped,he smirked as he ran out and tossed a birdarang at Ravager,then gasped as he fired one more shot and it hit Robin in the side,Ravager was stunned as the gun was tossed from his hand by the Bridarang,but his confidence unshaken he walked closer,"First rule of combat tactics,when using any gun more over a machine gun or assault rifle always leave one bullet in the load pretend your out then when the enemy rushes you shoot them,you see I count every shot I suppose you lack the attention span for that kind of thing,well I may have just winged you but now its time for me to cleave off your head I think you'll make a fine trophy for my fathers wall Baby-Bird!"
Robin glared at the opposing young man as Ravager brought his blade down,Robin reached for his battle staff from his belt and it formed blocking the blade and knocking Ravager back,he reached into his pouch and tossed a dagger at Robin it his his shoulder,as the Boy wonder panted. Robin was at a loss like Slade Ravager seemed to get up no matter what he did,always striking back with ferocity,something was just not right about him,he seemed almost Superhuman.
Ravager rushed at Robin as Robin tossed exploding disks at him,he kept running despite the explosion's and just when he was about to get thrusted,a black aura took over Ravager and tossed Ravager aside,Raven appeared and glared,"Nobody hurts my friends if I have a say in it."
Ravager scowled as he arose again and was hit with a Star-bolt,"And nobody shoots at my Boy without asking me first."She said as she floated down. Wondergirl,Cyboorg,and Beast boy appeared too,all mad and all okay,Cyborg smirked"Don't worry those other guys are dealing with the robot's and they already have the Mayor under protection,its over for you kid!"He pointed at Ravger and then blasted him with a sonic blast which flung him near the edge of the roof,he stood again and got his blade ready.
As he reloaded his now reclaimed gun and started firing at the Titan's Cyborg unafraid charged at Ravager,he smirked as he jumped in the air and landed on Cyborgs back placing an electric disk on his back,Cyborg screamed as he was shorted out and Ravager hopped off with a devilish smirk,"One down."He said raising his index finger to mock them by showing one.
Robin smirked,"You shouldn't have done that."He warned. Ravager shrugged"oh really now why is that?"He asked as Cyborg rose from behind him and punched him hard,then uppercutted him high,"
Shorting me out doesn't work so well anymore now that I installed that surge protection hardware.
As Ravager was in the air Wondergirl flew up and rammed him in the chest knocking him higher,then Beats-Boy flew up as a Pterodactyl then turned into a T-Rex in mid air tail swiping him then turned into a hawk,Strafire blasted him with her starbolts,and her beam eyes,as Raven blasted a beam of darkness at him,followed by Cyborgs sonic cannon,and finished with a high jumped kick from Robin,Ravager was thrown off the building and kept falling,then a loud thud on the ground.
Robin gasped as he ran to the edge"I-I thught someone like him would have a grappling gun or something.............................oh god no."He said as he looked down and saw Ravager on the ground six floors down on the pavement.
Robin sighed as he looked to the others,"Everyone we beat him I don't think he'll be back."He said sadly,everyone was stunned too they assumed he would have done something to save himself,everyone headed for the ground now,as they were preparing to leave the TV crews were to busy interviewing the group that had assisted them.
Robin walked to where Ravager was he gasped at what he saw,it was nothing,"But-but how?"He asked shocked he saw one of Ravager's skull emblem daggers stabbed into a tree with a note,it read"Dear Robin I'll be seeing you again and next time I won't lose,it will just be me and you and I will Kill you.
From: The Ravager"
Robin nodded atleast glad he was not dead,because if he and his team had taken a life,even the life of a lowlife he knew his father,his mentor would not approve,because this as not the way,not the way both he and Robin lived their lives,especially because Ravager was around there age and he believed perhaps he allied himself with Slade because of family bonds,and that he unlike Terra could still be saved,saved from the Darkness,as it started to rain heavily almost as if the sky were crying,the rain washing away the blood,the oil,the gunpowder,all the destruction and all the pain.
Meanwhile in a secret base Ravager was limping severally holding his now broken arm"D-Damn it,heal,come on heal.....................this is going to be a major setback." He said as he limped into the main room and sat on a chair,taking a few painkillers ad sighing relieved,then footsteps could be heard he looked towards the shadows and Slade walked out,"Its been a very long time Grant I assume you failed I warned you they were formidable but you blamed my failures on my age,and even with the modifications you underwent you still lost."He stated to his son with no emotion in his voice.
Ravager glared"I-I won't lose next time,next time they will pay father especially your little golden boy Robin,I'll show you I am more worthy of being your heir than him,just you wait!"He said with a tone of angry and jealousy.
Slade noddeD"You will try but remember Grant you are not alone in this next time I think you should bring a more suitable team."He explained as three shadows emerged from the darkness.
