OPENING ACT

The Titans arrived as a dark, slender figure threw a small child to the ground, "she was such a delicious girl... Too bad she was so small."

Starfire threw a starbolt that hit the fidgure squarely, causing him to shriek in pain. "What have you done to that child!"

Grinning as he turned, the figure gave a theatrical bow. "My dear Titans," He said with a detatched grin which revealed his canines were oddly long, "everyone must eat. I Frostbite am no exception."

"Eat?" Beastboy looked over at the girl and felt a rage burning deep within him, "You ATE her?"

"Of course," Frostbite's expression became that of one explaining something simple to a child, "that is how we Strigoi survive."

"Str- whatits?"

"It means Vampire," Raven blandly translated as she began to feel her own emotions stir, "the monster drained the girl of her blood and used it to continue his own cursed life."

"Monster?" Frostbite looked insulted, "not I! I only do what is natural to me. This is no different than you killing a cattle so you can have your hamburgers!"

Ever since her own violation, Chanson had been on a vendetta to protect any other women from any form of suffering... she just plain heard enough. Without even thinking, she snatched Robin's staff and extended it by flicking her wrist as she charged. Growling ferociously, she brandished the pole and swung, only to find Frostbite duck under her attack and lift her off the ground by the throat.

"My, my..." Frostbite mused as her stared into the girl's eyes, "such fury. However, you have a consuming fear..."

"TITANS GO!" Robin commanded as he realized just how bad the situation was.

Chanson's breath came from her mouth as a cloud, as if she were breathing out into frigid winter air. She started struggling as her fingers began to numb.

"Allow me to end that fear."

Chanson's eyes narrowed as she screamed, blasting her undead captor several yards away. She clutched her throat gagging, her skin nearly frozen. "Ice magic!" she warned the others with much strain in her voice.

As Frostbite stood, the other Titans were lifted into the air by freezing winds. "I do not conform to what YOU consider acceptable, therefore I am the one in the wrong? You children are so arrogant that YOU should be the ones being persicuted!" He prepared a spell and fired it as he threw his arms out at Starfire.

Falling to the ground encased in ice, Starfire was temporarily incapacitated.

Cyborg opened his sonic cannon and fired, "you aren't as cool as you think you are!"

Beastboy charged as a rhinocerous once the cannon blast halted.

"My style has nothing to do with my opinion!" Frostbite blocked the attack with his hands, but it still forced him several feet back. He threw Beastboy over his shoulder.

Syren leapt into the air and tried to land a jump kick. The attack was caught in the air and Syren was thrown into a wall by her ankle. The girl crumpled to the ground, the wind knocked from her.

"I admire your courage child," the Strigoi prepared another spell, "but you are clearly no fighter."

"She's not," Robin said as his own jump kick squarely struck the side of Frostbite's head, "but I am." Robin continued the attack as the vampire tried to defend.

"Azerath Metrion Zinthos!" Raven freed Starfire from her ice prison and threw the shards at their conjurer with her spell as Robin leapt away.

Starfire unleashed a barrage of starbolts.

Once the dust cleared from the attacks, they saw their foe standing unharmed. "Youth today... They have such strength, but no discipline in its use."

"Duuude," Beastboy couldn't believe they hadn't even scrathed him yet.

"Unreal," Cyborg scanned him to confirm that no damage had been dealt at all. "We hit him hard, but nothing hurts him!"

"Of course not," Frostbite seemed amused, "I just fed. My healing is nearly instantanious for the next hour."

"So," Starfire asked nervously, "we are unable to harm him?"

"You have done much damage to me," Frostbite said assuredly, "If you had come even two minutes prior, you would have easily defeated me by now. But the strength that Life's Blood gives my people is immesurable when it is from a child."

Both of the twins had struggled to their feet and caught their breath. They made eye contact, Chanson with a solution in her eyes and Syren nooding in response. They began vocalizing a wordless, and sweet melody. Everyone looked questioningly as the girls approached with obviously open guards. But then something changed; the song remained the same, the girls remained the same, everything was the same... but something wasn't. All of the Titans found some level of attraction, whether romantic or not, towards the Echo Twins.

"What is this?" Frostbite seemed affected as well, he stood frozen in place, entranced by the melody and the young women that sung it. "So beautiful," he mused as a tear came to his eye.

The twins began circling the vampire, almost as if they were dancing with him. The Strigoi seemed to revel in every moment. suddenly, the girls stopped circling and stood on opposite points, Chanson on Frostbite's left and Syren on his began talking in cycle, making sure that one of them was always singing. "You don't want to harm us, do you?" Syren asked.

"of course not," the infautated monster replied.

"When you hurt our friends, that upsets us terribly," Chanson said in a saddened tone.

"I won't do it anymore. I want you to smile."

"You wanna know what would make us smile?" Syren again.

"I'd do anything," he was ready to prove his love.

"Do you promise?" Chanson asked.

"I swear on the Strigoi Code," without realizing it, Frostbite invoked ancient magic by pledging like that.

"If you prove to us that you are sorry for taking the lives of innocents," Syren listed her head slightly, using her natural charm as well as her powers.

"How?"

"Turn yourself in," Chanson fluttered her eyes in a tantilizing manner.

"Must I?" Part of Frostbite seemed to be resisting the song, but it was far too late. "Is there no other means to please you?"

"No," Syren tried to look hurt.

"You promised," Chanson seemed about to cry.

The magic of Frostbite's vow took hold, "I wish not to, but I did give my word." His expression was of utter defeat, "I will surrender myself."

Raven wrapped Frostbite in a binding spell. Once that was done, Syren and Chanson ended their song.

With their senses flooding back, all of the Titans stared at the twins.

"Friends," Starfire seemed slightly concerned, but happy to have such allies, "you did not tell us of that power."

Elsewhere, a familiar masked figure stood as replays of the battle, taken from a traffic camera he had hacked, played on numerous screens. "Syren Echo and her sister Chanson... Quite an interesting pair." Sitting down, he laced his fingers and brought them near to his half black, half orange, one-eyed mask. Slade chuckled once, sounding almost like a cough. "I may have to monitor these two quite closely." hitting a button on his wrist, the screens all became one large projection of the fight from when the girls began their singing. "Yes... quite closely indeed."
