Here it goes ladies and gents, another chapter of Titans meet the Elementals. Please Enjoy.
Pulse
As he ran he could feel Robins breathing down the back of his neck, he was barely a few steps behind. Scorch for the first time that he had met these kids felt a chill go down his neck. The chill that you get when you're worried about someone you love, but Scorch wasn't sure he loved this person, he barely knew her but yet he's risking his life for her. It was too late now, he was beyond the point of rational thought, and the only thing that mattered was saving this orange skinned girl.
Robin Leaped forward ahead of Scorch with his sword/birdarang combination fully extended. The creature looked up and opened its mouth and spewed out a toxic substance. Robin rolled in the air and planted his feet at opposite sides of the creature's mouth. With a force of a mountain he plunged the sword into what looked like the creatures uvula. He tore his sword away before the creature could spray again, and backflipped upon the scales. However the creature was also negatively charged so he could not stay for long, he soon had to abandon and think of another approach.
The other Titans were launching projectiles from a distance. Cyborg had uprooted a whole tree with his bare hands and launched it at the creature which unfortunately saw it coming and dodged the attack. The creature was not fortunate enough to dodge the next one however coming from a shielded tortoise. Raven had encased him in a psychic barrier and launched beastboy at the abomination. Although the impact was enough to daze it, that was not enough and the rampaging monster continued its rampage.
Scorch was busy by himself attempting to attack and dodge the creature at the same time. The creature sprayed him but he dissolved the material but to no avail. He was side swiped by the creature's tail and sent into the mountain. His fleshed burned, more than he thought it would. The impact had caused a crater in the mountain he couldn't escape, he desperate.ly tried to burn through but his power was being drained by some force in the mountain. Scorch's life was starting to burn away, however another life was churning inside the heroes heart.
Granite was hurling stones at the creature, as he saw his brother get thrown into the mountain side. He started running to get him, but saw the Titans needed help.
"Hold on BROTHER!!!" Granite yelled as he had to make a decision.
"What are you doing?!!!" Raven yelled as she launched another psychic assault.
Granite jumped and landed on the creature, he punched the creatures skull attempting to neutralize it... For good. He instantly changed into his rocky form and weighed the creature down some more, however the creature's carapace had a few disguises under it. A small head reached up and grabbed Granite by the ankle. The golem reached down to grab it and thousands of more tiny heads reached up and grabbed him. He tussled to get them off but they were burning just like everything else on the island. The heads soon turned and started absorbing him, he tried to get up but to no avail. He was almost completely submerged, until a black hand reached down and ripped him from the creatures grasp. The hand threw him up in the air, Granite looked down at Raven with his rocky face and smiled. He dived at the monster again and continued his onslaught while being very careful of his movements. Meanwhile another creature was stirring.
"..Scorch…" A voice stirred in the heroes head.
"What?" He was already half dead, life was slowly fading from him.
"..Scorch… you don't have much time…do you want to save them and yourself?"
"Wait who are you what is this?"
"Time is not a luxury we have Scorch, answer the question."
"Wait.. we?" Scorch thought for a minute until he came to a horrible realization. "No! I killed you!? How can you still be alive?" Scorch was panicking this situation was impossible and quite dangerous.
"hahaha, you cant kill me more than you can kill yourself fool!" The voice became louder and more sinister. "you're friends however are about to become the next meal for the serpent that guards your sister, unless you of course, let it out…"
"I'm not stupid you crazy mother fucker, there's no way AAUUUGHHHHH!!!" That was his legs being burned from his body, now all that remains is the torso and few appendages of the hero.
"Heheh heh, either you do it, or you and your friends WILL die and all that you have fought for will be for NAUGHT!!" The voice started laughing and waited for a response… silence.
"Well then, I suppose its my turn…"
The Titans and Granite were fighting this creature, but they made no impact, this creature was slaughtering the team and they were falling. Robin and Granite kept up the pace; however the rest of the teammates had fallen to the Fatigue and fainted. They were sweating bullets and blood. As they were fighting the mountain where Scorch lay started to rumble. The force of a volcano had been what they experienced. Granite and Robin stopped for a moment to look. A brilliant light had burst from the mountain; molten rock flew everywhere, landing near the Titans. Robin and Granite narrowly escaped and picked up their teammates to safety. They looked upon the mountain and saw as a figure stepped down slowly, lighting every step of his way. He was on fire, a brilliant flame that burned the eyes just to look at it. He had a sinister look upon his... Face?. Matter of fact there was hardly a face, the skin had slightly melted and all hair had been singed and burned off. Symbols were carved upon his breast, but the most frighting of these discoveries were his eyes. They were black, empty, like an abyss leading to the bottomless pit of a soul this creature had. This was not Scorch; all signs of him had left and left this demon in his wake. The man in scorchs place looked around for a second and smiled
"GOD DANM!!!! ITS GOOD TO BE BACK!!!" He smiled with a look of insanity. He turned around and looked at the monster. "So…this is the beasty." The man licked his lips. He turned again to look at Granite and smiled "Long time no see…Rocky"
If he had skin at the moment it would have turned white, he had not feared anything in a long time, but this had struck his spine. His breathes started to become shorter and quicker. He quickly picked up his new friends and started running. Robin reached up and grabbed him by the arm.
"Whats going on?"
"We must leave! Now! There is no time!"
"Wait what are you talking about?"
"That…" He looked at the flaming man who was still standing there, all he did was smile maniacally.
"Wait who's that?"
"…Death."
"Wait who?"
"CANT YOU UNDERSTAND BOY?! DEATH!"
"I don't understand explain danmit!"
"He IS Death incarnate! He lives to exterminate Life! And he was just unleashed again! WE DON'T STAND A CHANCE!"
"Wait! You've met him before?"
"Yes you fool! I've fought him before." Granite sighed as he knew he was going to have to explain this very fast and very now. "Death had found the entire idea of life boring, since he was an elemental ,he…"
"Wait he's you're brother"
"NEVER! I would never be related to a monster like that"
"Then who is he? And where's Scorch"
"A few years back when man was still young, death had guarded over humans and their mortality. However he soon found it trivial to protect things that were always killing themselves. He then went on to slaughter many villages and its inhabitants to rid the world of its vermin. The elementals stepped in to stop this ravaging… all of them except for Chaos, order, Light and dark. Many elementals were slaughtered and sent to the void in that dire time in history. The battle lasted 100 years until Death was finally subdued. They could not however kill him since he was the prophet of death, and without death that would upset the order of the Universe. They had to keep him alive, however not with his own body. The kept him in the Void for a while until the new Elementals were chosen, Scorch was born. Scorch never had a real "family" he was bred, from the DNA of the strongest of beings from across galaxies, for only things such as this could hold death."
"Wait you're saying"
"Yes, We elementals had to place Death inside Scorch, that was the only way we could keep balance to the Universe."
"Why not the void?"
"We considered that, but Death had found a loophole, and almost escaped several times were it not for Eternity."
"Who?"
"Not the time for that now." Granite looked up at Death with a worried look on his face, and Death realized this.
"Yes, my friend, be worried, for as soon as I'm done with this animal, I will destroy you…"
Robin looked at Granite; his face was in deep thought.
"Well?"
"Well what? The only way we can stop him is if we reemerge the host." His face suddenly struck with an idea.
"Robin, how good are you with miracles?" He pulled out his birdarangs.
"I've been in some tough thickets." He smiled slightly, and looked forward.
"That's good then, I sure hope you're not afraid of death boy, because you're about to see it at its fullest."
"I've always wanted to try something like this…" The smile disappeared, and the two heroes charged, with a ferocious fury cry they jumped into the fray. Not knowing what was to come next, their minds blank with one word. One word that kept repeating over and over, Relentlessly pounding at the walls of their psyche, never letting them forget that face, of the being that stood in front of them…Death.
I seriously hope that was ok guys, sorry I was really tired so again its not up to par GOD DANGIT. I promise though the plot will be getting thicker. If enough reviews come in I might actually edit this chapter to make it better :P but anways I hoped you all enjoyed chapter four of Titans meet the Elementals.
