The Hive academy for extraordinary young people is proud to present this year's top graduates; Gizma, the girl genius whose intellect can conquer any problem with an inventive solution. Around the girl was a yellow, shiny hive like room. Canons fired lasers at the small girl. She shot missiles out of her jet pack to destroy them. She had short, brown collar-length hair and a small, green jumpsuit which had all kinds of tech connected to it. On her head were goggles with a green and black lens. Her skin was a light cream colour.
Hexx, the enchanting sorcerer whose hexes mean bad luck for his enemies. A young boy wearing a black t-shirt with a purple collar and black and pink leggings shot pink energy out of his hand, which decimated some test bots. His hair was short, pink and shaped like a bull's horns. His eyes were a vibrant pink. His skin was grey and clammy.
Massive, the genetically enhanced giant whose strength speaks for itself. A large woman with long, red hair and small beady eyes crushed some machinery. She wore a green and black suit that crawled over her arms and legs. Only her hands, feet and face were exposed. She also had two fangs poking out from her bottom lip.
Well organised, highly trained and combat equipped, these new H.I.V.E agents are the perfect fighting force. The three took down a large robot and dodged some lasers. And, for the right price, this ideal team can be yours. The whole screen blurred with a blue flash.
"Well, Ms Slade?" a stern, male voice asked.
"Impressive. Truly, however robots and obstacle courses only prove so much." a dark, female voice replied. "My plans demand cooperatives who can function in the real world. If your students are going to serve me, they're going to have to pass one final exam." The man looked up at Slade. "Destroy the Teen Titans, and then we'll talk." The man nodded.
"Aw man, come on! It's gotta be around here someplace!" a tacky voice cried. A large green dog sniffed the ground. "I don't believe this!" Cybornetta whined, lifting the couch off the ground. "How could you lose the remote?!" The green dog turned back into Beast Babe.
"What makes you so sure I lost it?" she asked, looking through some piles of books and paper.
"Uh, because you lose pretty much everything." Cybornetta replied.
Beast Babe scoffed. "Just because I lost your video game-"
"And the toothpaste, and the football, and the waffle iron." Cybornetta interrupted. Beast Babe turned her back on Cybornetta.
"Things disappear! How am I supposed to know where they go?" Beast Babe asked. Cybornetta opened her mouth to argue, but then Beast Babe waved her hand in Cybornetta's face. "Talk to the hand." Cybornetta scowled. Beast Babe did that quite a lot. Cybornetta pushed her hand away.
"How am I supposed to watch TV without a remote?!" Cybornetta groaned. Draven, who had been sitting in a corner and reading a book the whole time got up.
"Simple. You just change the channel." Draven answered dryly. Cybornetta gave him a glare.
"Don't even joke like that." she replied darkly. Draven lowered his eyes.
"I wasn't joking." he muttered.
"Good, because it wasn't funny!" Cybornetta grumbled. "Now come help us look for the remote!"
"This is a pointless argument over a useless device. You are wasting your energy and disrupting my concentration." Draven snorted. Then they started arguing. Robyn and Sunfire suddenly walked in through the door, talking about the speed of light. Their faces were shocked when they saw the scene.
"Woah! Take it easy Titans!" Robyn cried, putting her hands in front of her face. "Combat practice is this afternoon!"
"We must manger dispute by the sharing of unhealthy junk foods. I shall get them." Sunfire said, walking to the kitchen. Robyn went over to the arguing titans.
"Okay!" she called, but no one listened. She tried whistling, but that didn't work. "Come on guys!" She tried again. Sunfire, meanwhile, had discovered some gross blue food items in the fridge. He yelped and leaped back in fright and launched the blue stuff from the fridge all over the Titans.
"Eww!" Beast Babe cried, trying to rub it off.
Robyn sighed. "Maybe we should all just go out for pizza."
But the Titans just argued over what the pizza toppings should be.
"Can we please just order something?" Draven asked a few minutes later.
"As long as it's vegetarian." Beast Babe snorted. Cybornetta gave her a shocked look.
"Come on B, how can you deny the all meaty experience?" she asked. Beast Babe cringed.
"Cy! I've been most of those animals!" she whined. Sunfire suddenly started suggesting all these weird pizza toppings. The other Titans gave him a shocked look.
"Uh, Sun, not all foods are available for pizza toppings." Robyn said. Sunfire looked down sadly.
Gizma eyed the superheroes carefully. Green targets were aimed for their heads.
"Gizma to Hexx. Begin phase one." Gizma said into her communicator. Hexx, who was down on the road made a bus zoom forward out of control. It honked nosily as it headed for a baby in a cram. The Titans looked over and saw the bus. Beast Babe gasped.
"Titans, go!" Robyn cried. Sunfire zoomed down and moved the cram. Cybornetta pushed the bus from the front to try and stop it. But she couldn't. Draven used his magic to pull the breaks. The bus door opened and Cybornetta looked inside.
"Um... don't buses usually have drivers?" she asked. Robyn peered inside the baby carriage.
"And don't baby carriages usually have babies?" she asked. A teddy bear in the carriage snickered.
"Are you pitsnippers normally this stupid?" it asked. It exploded and blew Beast Babe, Robyn and Sunfire a distance away. The bus was suddenly lifted into the air and smashed onto Cybornetta and Draven. The H.I.V.E students revealed themselves. Gizma laughed.
"That was too easy. You guys wanna get pizza?" she asked.
"This isn't over!" Robyn cried from the alleyway. Beast Babe tried to get a banana peel out of her hair. Sunfire's eyes glowed green. Cybornetta blasted the bus off her and Draven.
"We're just getting started!" Cybornetta agreed, getting up.
"Who are these guys? And what's a pitsnipper?" Beast Babe asked.
"We are the H.I.V.E!" Gizma cried.
"Your worst nightmare." Massive added, making a punching motion with her fists.
"And this is attack pattern alpha." Hexx finished. The H.I.V.E split into different directions. Gizma shot lasers at the alleyway titans, which made discarded building parts fall on them. Hexx used his magic on Draven; the boy avoided such power. Cybornetta wrestled Massive, which was interesting as Cybornetta was much smaller than her. Regardless, she was winning. The alleyway Titans got rid of the building parts and got up.
"What do you call an idiot with a rocket on her back?" Massive asked. Gizma put on rocket on Cybornetta's back.
"Doomed!" Gizma laughed as Cybornetta was blasted into the sky. She screamed as if she was 4 years old. Sunfire flew after her, but couldn't keep up. Hexx went after Draven, trying to kick him. Draven at first dodged, but sadly this didn't keep up.
"You fight like a girl." Hexx snarled.
"And you're gonna scream like one, too!" Gizma jeered, shooting a laser at Draven. He blasted back into Robyn, knocking her over. Beast Babe turned into an elephant. Suddenly she felt her weight being lifted up by Massive.
"Beast Babe! Hang on!" Robyn cried, coming after her. Massive chucked the green girl towards Robyn and knocked her down.
"Is it just me, or are we getting our butts kicked?" Beast Babe asked.
"It's just you." Robyn and Draven replied at the same time.
"Listen up team, I have a plan." Robyn said. However, Beast Babe and Draven were blasted backwards.
"Gee butt snuffer, hope your fancy plan involves you getting fried." Gizma sneered, holding out her laser.
"You'll just have to find out the hard way." Robyn replied. She smiled mischievously. All three H.I.V.E members attacked Robyn, which made the road around her crack. She fell down a hole and into the sewage.
"ROBYN!" Beast Babe cried as she and Draven ran up to the hole.
Beast Babe sniffed away tears as she and Draven walked into the tower.
"Tell me that didn't just happen." she whimpered. Draven sighed and took off his hood.
"It did just happen. We cannot change the truth. No matter how much we dislike it." Draven replied. Beast Babe rubbed her sore leg as tears fell from her face. Draven used his magic to fix her leg.
"Thanks. Didn't know we had a doctor in the house." Beast Babe said. Draven nodded in thanks. Then the door opened, revealing Cybornetta and Sunfire.
"Maybe y'all should call me Flybornetta. I was half-way to Gotham City before Sun zapped that thing off my back. Now, what did I miss?" Cybornetta asked. Beast Babe burst into tears and Draven hung his head. Cybornetta went over to comfort her friend. "We got our butts kicked, didn't we?"
"Where is Robyn?" Sunfire asked, which did not help Beast Babe at all. Draven sighed.
"We don't know. She could be anywhere. We searched everywhere." Draven answered as Beast Babe continued crying. Draven held out Robyn's belt.
"I do not understand! How could you not find her?! People do not just vanish! There has to be someplace! Go there and look!" Sunfire demanded. Beast Babe stopped crying after chatting with Cybornetta and stood up.
"Come on, Sunflower! This is Robyn we're talking about. I'm sure she'll be back anytime soon." Beast Babe said. Suddenly the door opened. "Awesome timing." Sunfire flew to the door in excitement, expecting to see Robyn. Expect he saw the H.I.V.E.
"Oh no." Beast Babe groaned. Massive cracked her knuckles.
"Oh yes." Hexx replied.
"You may have got lucky last time, but you're in our house now!" Cybornetta snarled. The H.I.V.E invited themselves in.
"Yeah, nice place. We'll take it." Gizma said. Her spider legs carried her through the room. The Titans began to attack. Cybornetta used her blaster on the pint-sized girl.
"Split up!" Cybornetta cried. The Titans separated. Massive went after Sunfire and Draven. Hexx chased Beast Babe who turned into a tiger.
"Here kitty kitty, what's the matter? Afraid of a little bad luck?" Hexx asked, his hands lighting up. Draven and Sunfire ran to the training room.
"Hello gents." Massive said. Her head popped through the wall. Sunfire yelped in surprise.
Cybornetta ran through the tower, away from Gizma and her huge spider legs. Cybornetta hid behind a wall and secretly followed Gizma. Cybornetta walked down into a dark room and the door slammed tight, thinking she was following Gizma. Instead she led herself into a trap. Gizma's face appeared on a screen.
"So, Tin Lady. You got a heart under all that outdated crudwear?" she jeered. Cybornetta didn't say a word. "Not telling? I suppose I'll have to take you apart and find out!" Gizma approached Cybornetta on her spider legs.
Beast Babe had just stopped when Hexx used his powers to make some of the roof fall on her. She fell over. Hexx laughed.
"This just isn't your lucky day." he sneered, approaching Beast Babe. She rubbed her sore head and turned into a t-rex. Hexx smiled evilly and make the ground collapse before her.
Cybonetta stepped away from Gizma who swiped her spider legs at her. Cybornetta grabbed the legs and swung Gizma to the ground. Her tech fell apart. Cybornetta picked up the squealing midget with ease and destroyed the tech on her back. Gizma ran away angrily and Cybornetta looked around for her.
"How are you gonna fight me without your tech?" Cybornetta asked. Gizma hid behind a crate. Cybornetta lifted it up and she suddenly stepped on something. A projector. Gizma faded away and the real one jumped on her back and hacked into her systems.
"Get out of my systems!" Cybornetta cried as she ran around without her control. Gizma smiled at all the tech and pressed a button.
"Projector arm! Cool!" she said. Cybornetta's arm flew off.
"GET OFF ME! STOP!" Cybornetta yelled. Gizma blasted her out the tower. She was soon followed by the other Titans. They landed in the cold water surrounding the tower. The H.I.V.E laughed and Hexx used his powers to make a tsunami wash the titans away. The Titans landed on a beach, far away. Voices ran through their mind, making them cringe.
"So... who else never wants to go surfing again?" Beast Babe asked. Cybornetta gave her a hard stare. Beast Babe stood up angrily, but then Draven pet her shoulder. Cybornetta turned her finger into a blowtorch and tried to fix her leg.
"Perhaps I can be of some assistance." Sunfire said, approaching Cybornetta.
"I got it." Cybornetta replied, not taking her eye off her leg.
"But you are so damaged and-"
"I got it!" Cybornetta snapped. Sunfire leaped back in shock.
"Hey! He only wanted to help, Cy! Why are you being so rude?" Beast Babe asked, harshly eyeing her friend.
"Why do you think? We got kicked out of our house, a pint sized point jector just took me for a joyride, and in case you haven't noticed, I became left handed!" Cybornetta bellowed back.
"Enough! We need to control our emotions!" Draven snapped. Cybornetta gave him a angry look.
"Or what? Our bad vibes will keep you from meditating?" she replied angrily. Sunfire had his back turned to his friends.
"I wish Robyn were here." he muttered, loud enough for everyone to hear.
"Well she's not! Don't you guys get it? They won, we lost! It's over!" Cybornetta yelled. The Titans looked at their old home.
"Then... the Teen Titans are finished?" Beast Babe sniffled.
"Not yet." a familiar voice said. Robyn was standing on a hill. "Not if I can help it."
"Higher." Gizma instructed. Two little robots placed Cybornetta's arm on a wall. "To the left. A little more... Perfect! Slade's gonna have kittens when he hears we whipped the Titans up and took their stinking tower." The tower itself had the yellow hive parts added to make the T a H.
Massive was looking in the fridge and Hexx was carrying some of the Titan's clothes.
"Not to mention some of Robyn's favorite clothes. Probably the only good stuff in the house." he said, putting on Robyn's belt. He was also holding Draven's cape.
"Tell me about it. The food here is disgusting." Massive agreed, cringing at the mould in the fridge.
"If you think that's rotten, just look at their music. Crud, snot." Gizma said, chucking CDs in the air. "Mega crud. Snot."
No one noticed Cybornetta's finger turn into a little camera. Its lens was a red colour. It spied on Hexx with Draven's cape on. It also spied on Massive eating all the food. But its main focus was the computers near the front window. The hand sneaked down and passed Hexx, Massive and Gizma. It jumped onto the computer and turned it on. It unlocked the security. Suddenly the tower flashed a bright red. The cupboard doors flapped open then closed. The CDs began shooting out of the storage box.
"Hey!" Gizma shrieked, dodging a CD. She fell over and crawled near the computer, where she saw Cybornetta's arm. Gizma screamed as it wrapped its wires around her. The arm dragged her through the tower and up the vent. A large, magic hand grabbed Hexx and pulled him out of the tower. Massive felt a Starbolt hit her through the tower. The H.I.V.E landed on the roof.
"Sorry to interrupt the victory celebration, but like I said, this isn't over." Robyn said, putting on her belt.
"It's just getting started." Cybornetta agreed as the Titans assembled. The H.I.V.E got up.
"Attack pattern alpha!" Hexx commanded. They separated. Hexx used his powers to remove the roof beneath the Titans, but they leaped off just in time. Massive chased after Beast Babe, who turned into a falcon and flew away. Hexx came after Cybornetta and made part of the roof fall towards her. Cybornetta quickly avoided this. Sunfire shot some starbolts at Hexx.
"Hey Robo Wimp, feel like getting packed?" Gizma asked as she jumped onto Cybornetta.
"Nope," Cybornetta replied. She grinned. "How about you? Robyn, now!" Robyn jumped into the air and launched an explosive onto Gizma's tech. She screamed in agony.
"It's gonna crush my whole system! Get it off me!" she cried. Hexx narrowly avoided Sunfire's starbolts.
"Beast Babe! Now!" Sunfire shouted. Beast Babe turned into a monkey and leaped onto Hexx's face. He blasted his magic everywhere. He finally ripped Beast Babe off his face and threw her upwards.
"Your luck just ran out!" Beast Babe jeered. She turned into a falcon and flew away. Hexx looked around in confusion. Suddenly everything around him began to collapse.
Massive went after Draven. She was about to punch him when suddenly Cybornetta kicked her down. Massive groaned and got up, just to see a green t-rex right behind her. She screamed like a four year old and ran away. Sunfire used a giant starbolt to knock Massive down. Robyn kicked her right in the chest. Massive was launched into Gizma and Hexx.
"Crap it. I'm calling Slade." Gizma huffed. Robyn picked her up.
"Who is Slade?" she asked. Gizma laughed.
"Wouldn't you like to know, barf brain?" she asked.
"I assure you such failures are not tolerated in the H.I.V.E. Once the agents have been retrieved from the authorities they will be disciplined." said the grey haired man. "Strictly disciplined."
"Actually your agents served my plan quite well. I never expected them to succeed." Slade lowered her voice. "They were merely messengers and the message has been received." She had a remote in her hand, which she pressed. A image on screen appeared, showing Robyn asking 'Who is Slade?'
"No! This is the worst thing! My tunes! They have been... Alphabetized." Beast Babe said, pulling out all the CDs. "How am I ever going to find anything?"
"They went into my room. No one should ever go into my room." Draven hissed darkly, holding some of his capes.
"Someone disposed of all our blue furry food!" Sunfire cried. Cybornetta was looking under the couch.
"You've gotta be kidding me. The whole place has been cleaned and I still can't find the remote!" she complained. Robyn whistled and pointed at the remote on the table. Cybornetta smiled and stood up, taking the remote. The Titans gathered together on the couch.
"I guess we oughta be training for battles, tracking down clues and trying to figure out who Slade is." Cybornetta said. Robyn smiled.
"We will. But right now, I'm just happy to be apart of the team." she said, switching on the TV.
