What up, everybody! Welcome back to another chapter of New Titans, Go! From DUPERBRO! Heh, rhyme. Anyway, someone once told me I was awesome at writing action scenes. What do all my fans think? Review and tell me! So, let's do this thing!
Chapter 4: Yang, Part One
Connanc Planet
There was no escaping the enormous blazing comet that was about to smash into Connanc.
The inhabitants of the small planet were scrambling to get on the last space shuttle, but when it reached its max capacity there were still quite a few left behind to die. Many clutched their loved ones as they watched the comet grow closer… and closer… and closer… until…
BOOM!
The immense crash of the comet split the planet apart, until its star-like core was revealed. The comet blazed on, until it also hit the core.
The explosion was so great, you could see it if you were blind. The extreme heat of the massive supernova torched the fractured shards of the planet that was once there.
But something peculiar happened. If anyone had been around to see it, they would have seen a white and black figure shoot out from the supernova, and what's more, had anyone seen it up close, they would have seen that the light beams were human-shaped and looked exactly like humans. And they were streaking off into the farthest reaches of space, but one planet stood in their way…
Earth.
Back at Titans Tower, both parties had arrived at the same time, so they just threw away the pizza slice they'd bet over. Eventually they got bored and went to train.
Owen was impressive with his agility, slashing apart dummy after dummy, until he'd hit 43 consecutive 'kills' without breaking a sweat. Talia had gone home to care for her family, and Muscle-Man was blasting dummies with his energy balls.
"They're called Muscle-Auras," he'd explained earlier. "I summon them from my inner chi and convert them into deadly energy emissions. It's pretty awesome." Everyone agreed that it was.
Anyway, MM was smashing dummies all around him and Owen was leaving slash marks on their chests when Robin announced from the visual booth, "Okay, guys, it's time to initiate surround mode. Dummies will surround you in a ring, and you will take them however you deem necessary. Initiating… now."
BOOP.
Dummies surrounded Owen and Muscle-Man from all sides. Robin looked on to see how they would react.
Owen was the first to do so. He held himself up by his left arm and spun his foot all around the dummies, ripping them in half through the middle.
But Muscle-Man was the more impressive of the two. He flew up and spun his outstretched foot at an amazing speed, eventually creating a tornado, sucking up the dummies. When the cyclone faded, Muscle-Man stood in the midst of a heap of scattered dummy parts.
"Good job, guys. Now, for the final test, I'm deploying a simulated version of one of our toughest enemies. Good luck in defeating him. After he's neutralized, you can exit. Ready… GO."
A hole opened up in the ceiling and a simulated Cinderblock dropped to the floor, ready to fight. Muscle-Man reacted instantly, throwing punches and kicks until his Cinderblock had multiple cracks in it. Then he flew up and unleashed a huge beam of Muscle-Aura energy, making Cinderblock overheat and explode.
Owen was another story. He slashed and slashed, but made no progress. But he found a soft clay spot with his remarkable scent of smell and stabbed a claw into it, crumbling his simulation into rock.
Doors opened in the front of the rooms, and both heroes exited. Robin left the booth, and the three supers met in the hall. They went into the living room, and watched the TV for a while.
Owen got their attention. "I just want to tell you guys something. My kind's greatest weakness is… magic."
Robin thought a minute and his eyes widened. "So you would be extremely uncomfortable around Talia."
"Yeah."
"That's-"
KA-BOOM!
All three heroes were thrown back by a large explosion that shot something into the room. Two people flew up immediately from the wreckage from where the object landed and started to fight immediately midair until Muscle-Man flew up also shot up and blasted one with a Muscle-Aura. He hit a black guy who seemed totally dark. He flew backward and hit the wall, slumping. The masked might then turned to the white one.
"WHO ARE YOU!? WHY ARE YOU HERE?!" Muscle-Man demanded.
"Whoa, whoa! I don't mean any harm, man! I am Yang. Thanks for hitting my brother."
"That guy's your brother!? But you're totally different!"
"I know but-WATCH OUT!"
Muscle-Man never got a chance to react. The black guy blasted at him and hit him with speed almost equaling his own. The masked might grunted as the guy slammed him into a wall. Then the man, black as night, raised him into the air, choking him.
Robin looked on in horror as his friend was choked. But suddenly Muscle-Man's eyes flared blue, like his Muscle-Auras. He turned to look at the Boy Wonder.
"RUN!"
Robin didn't hesitate. He grabbed Owen and the white girl and jumped out the hole in the wall, using his glide suit feature to stay in the air. Then he heard Muscle-Man scream in horrid agony. He turned to look at the building just in time to see a huge implosion of Muscle-Man's Muscle-Aura energy consume the entire top half of the building.
"MUSCLE-MAN!"
