An Eevee's wish
Summary: In a parallel universe, things are very different. Beast Boy is Raven's little brother and a different child is accepted into the Doom Patrol. This is Eevee's story.
Hey, another chapter. This is going to be updated fast until I run out of ideas. Until then, this is going to be the story focused on, then I will go back to Squirrel Mother.
Disclaimer: if I did own them, I would be dead by now as their enemies would go after me first.
"Doom Patrol, attack!"
The team went into action, each of them knowing what to do. Mento went after Rouge as the strongest from each team, Robotman engaged Mallah in hand-to-hand combat as the team heavyweights and Negativeman and Elasti-Girl fought General Immortus and his troopers. Elasti-Girl grew in size whilst Negativeman left his body and flew at the troopers. Mallah and Robotman started throwing punches at each other and Mento fired a blast at Rouge, which she promptly dodged. She swung her arm around, hitting Mento and sending him flying. The leader shook his head before getting back up and attacking her again.
Negativeman phased through several robotic troopers, causing them to blow up, before his minute was up and he had to return to his body. Elasti-Girl was firing off kicks and punches to any trooper that came too close, causing a few of them to be flung across the battlefield. Robotman managed to get passed Mallah's blocks and land a punch to the face. Mallah went backwards, but got back up quickly and got in a punch of his own when Robotman was distracted by the battle between Mento and Madame Rouge.
Rouge kicked out towards Mento. He dodged the kick, but not the punch to the face that followed. A broken trooper robot collided with Rouge and she was knocked away from Mento. He looked up to see Elasti-Girl looking at him, concerned. He nodded his thanks and sent mental waves at Rouge. Unable to recover herself, Rouge took the hit. Mento was about to fire another shot, but a blast from behind stopped him. Looking over his shoulder, he saw several troopers with their plasma guns raised. Looking over the battle scene, he saw more arriving and ganging up on his teammates. This isn't good. He bit his lip before issuing a command.
"Doom Patrol, group together." Three heads turned in his direction, also seeing their opponents' cavalry. Fighting their way through the troopers, they managed to get together, only for the troopers to form a semi-circle around them, trapping them against a wall, Rouge, Mallah and Immortus standing to the back,. "Attack." Immortus gave the signal, the troopers move forward as they obeyed him. The Doom Patrol held their ground, destroying or throwing any troopers who came too close. But there were hundreds of soldiers and they were steadily getting tired.
"There's too many, Mento." Robotman said, batting some away.
"Keep going, they have to run out sometime." He answered, sending a couple dozen away from him.
"I don't think they will." Negativeman commented, destroying ten troopers, only for more to replace them.
Elasti-Girl didn't comment, just focused on fighting.
Unexpectedly, all the troopers fell back a few paces, not attacking but still keeping them trapped. With the onslaught having been let up, the team felt exhaustion barrelling into them. Rouge smirked, knowing their plan was working. Immortus raised his hand to give the final assault signal, but the voice that was heard was not his. The voice that was heard was a lot higher pitched and belonged to a female, and she shouted two odd words.
"Hyper Beam!" All heads snapped in the direction of the voice. A small figure was mid-way through a jump, a very high jump. The figure was just in front of the moon and had large ears and a tail. Her mouth opened and yellow energy collected in a ball form, before being shot off in a large beam. The Doom Patrol had to cover their eyes from the brightness. When Mento removed his arm, he was shocked at what was left of the battlefield. All the troopers had been destroyed, showing all of these ones were robotic, and the Brotherhood were gaping in shock. The figure landed on the ground, one hand down to stabilize itself. The moonlight fell over the figure, revealing it to be the girl they had rescued.
She straightened up, opening her eyes. Unable to see her eyes when the Doom Patrol had found her, Mento now saw they were a bright amber colour, alight with fire and adrenaline. She turned to the Brotherhood with a snarl, her fangs bared, making her look feral and dangerous. Rouge's eyes narrowed, clearly annoyed at the interruption but also looked somewhat impressed by the power the child showed. Mallah looked like he was ready to bash her to a pulp and Immortus, once she growled at him, looked like he was ready to run away in fear. No wonder the old cote lived so long. He knows when to run.
"I see you found the girl." Rouge smirked. "Now I see why the Brain ordered her capture. Get her!" Rouge extended her arm, swinging it around to try and knock the girl out. Beside him, Mento felt Elasti-Girl stiffen, ready to charge in and protect the child. It was unneeded as, just before Rouge's attack hit, the girl faded into a few black lines, which quickly disappeared as well, making Rouge's attack hit nothing but air. Rouge retracted her arm, looking around for where the girl went.
"Up here." All heads turned to where the voice came from. A few feet away from where she was before, up in a tree, the girl stood, a smirk on her face. Rouge growled before extending her arm again. The girl jumped down, avoiding the arm, and ran towards Rouge before the same occurrence happened again. She disappeared, and returned a bit closer to Rouge, still running, before doing it again several more times. I see, she can have short bursts of super speed. Mento noticed. The girl jumped up, doing another of her high jumps, and her tail glowed a blinding white. She spun around whilst gravity took effect, gathering up speed and power, before slamming her tail into the side of Rouge's head. Rouge went skidding along the ground, before getting up, trying to recover herself.
"Pesky brat." Mallah commented, going after the child himself whilst Rouge was down. He tried to grab her, but she jumped out of the way. He tried again several times, but she dodged each time and it started looking like a game of 'catch the hyperactive child'. The girl was riling him up by throwing childish taunts at him whilst she dodged.
"Missed me." "Too slow." "Can't catch me." Finally, Mallah had enough and gave a roar before throwing a punch at her. She jumped backwards, doing a couple of back flips, before her tail made a sweeping motion in front of her body, letting of a flurry of stars rain down on Mallah. The stars exploded on contact with their target, causing damage to even a high-endurance creature like Mallah. He fell back, but by then, Rouge was back up and tried to attack the girl once more. The girl dived head first to the ground, which, to Mento, was stupid. A large dust cloud was thrown up, hiding the child from view. When it settled, she was nowhere to be found, and in her place was the entrance to a tunnel.
"She went underground." Immortus said. 'Thank you, Captain Obvious' was the main thought running through everyone's mind. Rouge was tense and Mento understood why. The girl could come out from anywhere and had the clear advantage. Maybe not so stupid, after all. Rouge was glancing around, trying to find some way of figuring out where the girl was. She turned around, expecting the child to come out from behind her.
"How dumb do you think I AM?" With the last word, the girl jumped out of the hole she went down and brought her hands together in a summoning position, forming a black ball of energy between them. Rouge only had time to face the girl before the ball was thrown at her, knocking her back into a tree. The energy disappeared when Rouge collided with the object. Rouge got back up, furious, and was about to attack again, but Mallah grabbed her arm before she could. She struggled, too furious to think of using her powers to get out. Mallah snarled at her.
"Are you crazy? You're going to get yourself killed!" Rouge continued to struggle. Immortus gave a more tactical solution.
"Retreat for now, find what she can do, then we return to this fight." She nodded and Mallah released her arm, before throwing a device on the ground. It exploded on contact and caused a bright light to fill the area.
"Keep calm. It's just a flash bomb. It'll clear soon." Mento informed his team. As he said, the light soon faded, and the Brotherhood of evil was nowhere to be found. The large amount of energy used in the fight seemed to catch up with the girl as she sat down, closing her eyes and trying to catch her breath.
"Eevee!" Elasti-Girl went over to the child and started fussing over her. The child herself seemed to be trying her best to assure Elasti-Girl she was okay, smiling a bit. Elasti-Girl went into a conversation with the child about the battle, whether it was a lecture or an interrogation, Mento wasn't sure. What he was sure of, was Eevee was staring straight at him. She seemed to be looking at him, but not at him. Mento couldn't interpret her gaze for a few seconds, when he did, he felt rage pulse through his veins. She was sizing him up to see whether or not he was a threat. Mento could almost feel the tic mark on his head, but he quickly calmed himself down, knowing yelling at the child in front of his team would do no good.
Elasti-Girl noticed the girl looking past her at the rest of her team. She stood up, gesturing for the child to follow her, before walking back to her team. Mento glared down at the child as she approached, but her gaze had turned curious, looking at them with wide eyes. Elasti-Girl noticed his glare and sent him a look that said 'Behave yourself' before speaking.
"Eevee, these are my teammates Robotman and Negativeman," Negativeman nodded when Elasti-Girl said his name and Robotman waved to the kid, "And this is my husband, Mento. Boys, I already told you about Eevee." Mento gave a curt nod when his name was mentioned. Eevee, on the other hand, showed a bit more etiquette. She bowed her head down, hands clasped in front of her, before raising her head and giving a friendly smile. Mento would have spoken, but was beaten to it by Robotman.
"Kid, you were great out there. You had the Brotherhood stumped on how to deal with you." She smiled happily at the praise, moonlight shining off her fangs.
"She was good, but the Brotherhood won't underestimate her next time." Negativeman spoke up, bringing to attention a factor that needed to be acknowledged. The Brotherhood was going to come back for revenge. Mento cleared his throat loudly, signalling to his teammates he was going to speak.
"Why did you come out here?" Mento asked, staring down at the child.
"I heard a commotion and came to see what it was." She shrugged, not bothered at all by the way the leader's ice blue eyes burned into her. Mento shook his head before addressing his team, forgetting about the child for a moment.
"We need to break into the Brotherhood's base before they can strike again." He started walking back towards the mansion, when Eevee's voice piped up from behind him.
"I could help with that." Mento turned around and looked at the child. The moonlight was reflecting off her amber eyes, giving the impression that they were glowing. She gave a smile before continuing.
"I already know my way around the base. I was there for quite a while before they realised I had broken in. Plus, I know how to disable the holograms." She was looking at him, almost pleading for the chance to help. His team was behind her, agreeing with her logic. Mento sighed before answering.
"Alright. Tell us what you know."
Sorry, this chapter took longer than the others. There were several scenes that I had no idea on how to write. Keep reading, just seeing the amount of people reading my stories without leaving reviews makes me happy,
