Garfield Logan the Midnight Wolf

Chapter 7: The Wolf Bares It's Fangs

Speeding down the street Lars drove towards a club called 'Swift Moves' a big club that competes with 'The Jump'. He slammed his foot hard on the brakes stopping the car and ran inside, meeting with all the cities criminals dancing along with hookers and strippers. Lars ran up the stairs to meet with Chang's white suited goons "I Need To See The Boss!"

"No visitors" one of them said

"It's Urgent Damn It!"

"Why?"

"The Wolf Is Still Alive!"

Everyone in the club stopped dancing and looked at Lars

The white suited men just took Lars upstairs to see the boss

Once they made it to the doors of Chang's study, Lars went inside to see Chang behind his desk glaring at the bloody iron wolf mask that was sitting on his desk

"U-um, King Chang"

"You know, I have always had a feeling of distain for wolves… I grew up in the forest near my old village back when I was younger, I took on every animal from deer to bear, I fought them all with my smarts, tools I had crafted from wood, a machete I found from my old village and my favorite tool, my bare hands" Chang unconsciously cracked his knuckles "But there was one animal that I had met and every time I challenged him, he would always win… he was Takeo, the valiant warrior, and he was a wolf" Chang started to remember a wolf as dark as midnight and it had a scar on it's left eye "He was strong, powerful and noble… he looked out for every animal he came across… to him it didn't matter if it was his own kind or another, all he ever cared about was protecting those of the forest and I knew that when I first saw him… I had to defeat him… but I failed every time"

"B-b-but you did get him, right?" Lars asked

Chang looked up at Lars making him gulp "No" Chang then looked back at the bloody mask "In the end he died of old age… I never got the taste of victory… and I still haven't with his reincarnation"

"Reincarnation?"

Chang quickly stood up "The Midnight Wolf" Lars flinched a bit "I know why you are here, because I knew that the Wolf was still alive"

"Y-Y-You Knew?! Then why didn't-"

"Because" Chang walked to his fire place "I want him to come… so I can finally beat the Wolf" Chang turned to Lars " Inform the rest of criminals… our guest has arrived"

Lars gave Chang a salute and ran out the room to assemble the masses

Chang walked back to his seat and took the mask into his gigantic hand and observed it "I'll be waiting Takeo"

Outside

Wolf stared at 'Swift Moves' with determined eyes, ready to beat Chang "So this is it?"

"That's right bro" Zack replied through the earcom

"Alright then" Wolf then took out his Titan communicator and tried to contact the Titans "Wolf to Titans, I need to speak with you"

"Beast Boy?" Cyborg answered on the other line

"Sup Cy"

"What's up?"

"I'm in front of 'Swift Moves', a friend of mine helped me find out that the city's criminals are in there, and I can't do that alone"

"Are you… asking the Titan's for help?" Cyborg asked with wide eyes

"… Yes"

"ALRIGHT! Don't Worry BB We'll Be Right There!"

Wolf smirked behind his mask "Thank you Cy"

At Titan's Tower

Wolf had just cut the line leaving Cyborg to play the crime alert making the Robin, Raven and Starfire burst through the door

"What Is It Cyborg?!" Robin ordered for an answer

Cyborg turned around with a smirk evident on his face "A friend needs our help"

Outside Swift Moves

Wolf stayed on the roof of the building across from 'Swift Moves' glaring at the upper level, no doubt Chang was up there

"Glad you waited"

Wolf turned around to see his old friends, The Teen Titans

"Everyone in there is ready for the Wolf to rear his head baring his fangs, and that's exactly what I'm going to do, with my pack"

The Titans smiled, glad that there old friend needed their help again

"Now let's go" Wolf jumped down from the building

The Titans ran over to see Wolf crossing the street

"Wow" Raven simply commented

"Well, you heard him" Robin said jumping down as well

The rest of the Titans followed the two ready for an intense fight

Inside 'Swift Moves' the criminals got ready for the Wolf while the hookers and strippers went into hiding, but still kept their heads up to get a good look of the Midnight Wolf, which all the girls in Jump City had a thing for

Suddenly the door was kicked open revealing the Wolf

"GET THAT MOTHERF-" the random criminal stopped shouting when he along with the rest of the criminals noticed he wasn't alone

"I see you noticed my friends" said Wolf with the Titans beside him "You wanna say it bird boy or should I?"

"How about we both do the honors" Robin suggested

"Sounds good to me" Wolf said with a smirk

"Titans Go!" Wolf and Robin shouted with the rest of the Titans charging in

Upstairs in Chang's study, the kingpin heard a ruckus downstairs and it sounded like more than what one single man with advanced technological equipment could do. Chang grabbed a remote from his desk and activated a giant T.V. that came from out of the wall atop of the entrance door and changed to his downstairs cameras to see Wolf in the club as expected, but he was fighting alongside The Teen Titans "Oh Takeo, what an embarrassment, to think you'd be reincarnated into this pathetic excuse"

Downstairs Wolf and the Titans kept fighting and taking down all the criminals who didn't stand a chance, but there were still more of them coming

Wolf had to go upstairs and face Chang "Guys! Do You Think You Can Keep These Bastards Busy While I Go And Take Care Of Chang?!"

"You want us to deal with these guys so you can get payback?" Raven stated blasting away criminals with her black magic

"This Isn't About Pay Back!" Garfield shouted punching a criminal in the face with his Electro Fist

"Forget It BB, He Beat You Last Time!" Cyborg shouted using his arm canon

"Which Is Exactly Why I Have To Be The One To Fight Him!" Wolf yelled confusing the Titans except for Robin "Sensei Says That 'With Every Loss You Have An Advantage Of How To Defeat Your Opponent, It Just Matters If You Are Willing To Get Back Up And Learn From Them'!"

The Titans had deep expressions while fighting the countless hordes of criminals

"Go" Robin said hitting a criminal in the head with his staff

"Robin" Starfire started with a worried expression

"Wolf is right, he is the only one who knows what Chang is capable of, the more he stays here, the more criminals are just going to come and waste his energy by fighting him, he has to go"

Cyborg nodded and shot his laser canon at the criminals blocking the stairs to the upper levels "Go!"

Wolf nodded and ran upstairs leaving the Titans to occupy the criminals. Getting to the second floor Wolf was met with more criminals, but they were suddenly blown away by green energy beams that came from none other than Starfire. Wolf turned to her and said "Have I ever told you that you make the color green even more awesome"

Starfire blushed at Wolf's compliment

Raven flew next to Starfire looking at Wolf "Didn't you say you have to fight Chang?"

"Right" Wolf continued to run up the stairs "I'll see you guys later"

Starfire watched as Wolf ran up the stairs 'I hope Garfield will be okay' Starfire then felt a hand on her shoulder that belonged to Raven

"Let's help the guys" Raven said getting a nod from Starfire in reply

Running up the stairs Wolf just kept glaring ahead and took down every criminal that stood in his way

Chang was watching Wolf run up the stairs to his study with a grin on his face "Now that's more like it Takeo, finishing things by yourself, I'll be waiting in the meantime" Chang took the bloody wolf mask into his hands "Just don't take too long"

Wolf finally made it to a hallway with big doors at the end, no doubt Chang was in there, but standing between him and the doors was the Leather Head Lars holding a flamethrower 'Seriously…'

Lars started laughing maniacally "Whacha gonna do now, HUH?! I'm packin' some real fire power now Wolfy!" Lars then continued to laugh like a nut, but Wolf didn't really care, he just started walking towards Lars making him sweat a bit "Don't Come Any Closer! I Swear I'll Use It!"

"Then use it you pussy" Wolf said

Lars was shaking in his boots at the fear of Wolf getting closer "Back The Fuck Off Asshole!"

"I thought you weren't afraid to use it?" Wolf asked sarcastically with a smug smirk

Lars started to get pissed "You're Just A Loser Wanna-Be Batman, I'm Going To Singe Your Fur, You Fecal Filled Four Legged Douchebag!" Lars aimed his flamethrower at him and pulled the trigger, but when he did no fire came out, so he looked down to notice that there was a kunai lodged in it "Oh crap…" Lars then looked up to see the Wolf was right in front of him "At least don't make it too painful" Lars pleaded knowing he was screwed

On the other side of the door Chang was staring at a picture of a younger him in a Japanese militia outfit with hollow eyes

Suddenly flying through his doors was a beaten Lars

"It's about time you arrived"

Wolf walked through the doors glaring at him

'Takeo' Chang thought turning his head slightly to Wolf's direction

"I came here to reclaim what is rightfully mine" Wolf spoke with serious conviction laced in his voice

"Is that all?"

"We both know the other reason I am here"

"True" Chang looked back at his self-portrait "It's strange how life can go for one's self"

"True" Wolf replied knowing how unexpecting life can be

Chang sighed "I am a man who is aging, slowly losing strength as the processes of time takes it's course upon me"

"Not to sound like a 'rude' guest, but I am not here to listen to a story I am familiar with"

"Yes I guess I can be a bit of a chatter box, my apologies Takeo"

"Excuse me?" Wolf asked wondering where the hell Takeo came from

"I remember back when I was younger, after experiencing a very distasteful event leading me to the forest where I had fought countless creatures who inhabited the luscious area… except for you" Chang looked at Wolf who was getting a bit freaked out

"Dude… are you feeling okay? Cause I don't want to knockout a sick man's row of teeth"

"Don't you remember me 'old friend', I challenged you every time and yet somehow you evaded all my traps, predicted all my moves and defeated me, over and over again" Chang turned his whole body towards Wolf "After so many years I thought I had finally defeated you for good and yet you still stand before me Takeo"

"Okay dude shut your fucking mouth cause I am not dealing with anymore of your crazy shit, so are gonna put 'em up, or do I have to make the first move before the fight even begins?" Wolf got in his fighting stance

Lars finally got up and saw Wolf was ready to fight Chang again so he ran passed him and booked it out of the study just in time as Chang grabbed his remote and pressed a button slamming a steel door down blocking the entrance/exit of the office

"I wouldn't want anyone to disturb our battle my old friend" Chang threw of his jacket and tie and rolled up his sleeves "It is time we settled this once and for all"

"Fine be me, you wacked out freak" suddenly as he stepped forward he heard Zack shout out

"WATCH IT BRO!"

Wolf jumped in the air just and yelled "COUNTER SHOCK!" as electricity came from hidden rods in the room hit his gloves the electricity was bounced back to the rods destroying them. As Wolf landed he stood up and glared Chang "I wouldn't be a student of Kenichi if I never learn from my mistakes the first time around"

"Agreed" Chang said charging at Wolf throwing his fist

"Super Strength!" Wolf's gloves tightened as he batted away Chang's fist and then slammed his fist across Chang's face and threw a couple of punches at Chang who put up his guard blocking them, until Wolf decked him in the gut and then punched him across the face, but Chang then punched him in the stomach and then put his hands together making one fist and slammed it upside Wolf's jaw

Wolf got back up and tried to deck Chang in the face, but Chang batted it away and punched Wolf in the face making him slide across the floor

"Not fast enough Takeo, you fight with little experience" Chang stated

"True, I've only trained in martial arts for a month, sorry if your expectations weren't up to co" Wolf said standing then dodging Chang trying to use a bear hug then swerve away from a chop and then blocked some painful punches and then slammed both his hands on the sides of Chang's head making him back off a bit. Wolf ran to Chang roundhouse kicking him across the face then punching his gut and delivering another across his face.

Chang tried kneeing Wolf, but his attack was blocked so he tried punching him, but Wolf swerved away and slammed his fist in the side of his ribs.

Wolf then slammed his fist in his chest and gut again, then he had to block a punch and then a kick to the side of his head that Wolf blocked, but it still hurt him a bit making him back a bit, but he recovered and blocked a few punches then punched Chang in his face landing the hit, then blocked two more punches, but then he got hit with a punch in the side of his cheek giving him a swollen cheek that turned purple. Dodging a few more punches Wolf grabbed a kunai from a holster attached to his belt and cut the lower part of Chang's forehead that was above the eyes making it bleed.

Wiping the blood away from his eyes Chang was then decked across the face, as he tried to deck Wolf back, the hooded warrior ducked then grabbed Chang's arm and with all his strength tossed him across the room. Chang got up from the floor wiping some more blood from his face and grabbed his nearby desk and threw it at Wolf who jumped over it, but then was kicked in the gut making him skid across the room gritting his teeth that had blood on his teeth as he refused to spit up blood, but of course you couldn't tell because of the mask getting in the way.

Chang rushed towards Wolf throwing a punch the masked hero swerved passed, then blocked Chang's kick and pushed back his arm that tried to hit him, then Wolf jumped in the air clasping his two hands together to make a fist and slammed it on the muscle that was between Chang's neck and shoulder making the gigantic crime lord grasp it, then he tried to back hand Wolf and deck him, but Wolf swerved and punched the other side of his ribs twice then batted away a strike and punched him in the side of the head and across the face then punch the other side, Chang then blocked one of Wolf's punches with his forearm, but Chang wasn't able to block the punch the was slammed into his nose breaking it.

Chang backed away as his nose bled and then tried to deck Wolf, but his arm was batted away and then he was slammed across the face again with a fist hurting his nose, giving Wolf the momentum to kick Chang upside his jaw making him fall on the floor. Chang stood up with fire in his eyes and ran at Wolf trying to punch him, but Wolf swerved and landed a strike at Chang's left bicep making him flinch. Chang then tried to grab Wolf, but Wolf dodged then landed a strike on Chang's deltoid rendering it useless as Chang couldn't move it anymore.

"What exactly did you do?"

"That was a nerve bundling in your deltoid, it may not have hurt, but you won't be moving that arm any time soon" Wolf explained

Chang then charged at Wolf and delivered two painful kicks to him which he blocked, but it still hurt his forearms. Chang then proceeded to punch and slap Wolf across the face making some blood come out of his mouth and no doubt going to leave some very painful marks. Chang then grabbed Wolf's head and slammed it down on his leg and then decked him in the face and finally deliver an uppercut sending Wolf flying.

Chang walked over to Wolf and grabbed him by his collar "You're finished old friend"

Wolf then slammed his forehead into Chang's face making him stumble back "I am not Takeo" Wolf charged at him blocking and batting away Chang's arm then punched him twice across the face

Chang stumbled away giving Wolf the opportunity to run at him, but Chang then lifted his one good fist and sent it down to Wolf, but Wolf saw this coming and slide between Chang's legs dodging the fist that slammed down to the ground breaking the wood

After sliding between Chang's legs Wolf sent two powerful strikes to the back of Chang's legs making the kingpin bend down in pain giving Wolf the opportunity to jump on Chang's back and gave him a chokehold around Chang's large neck trying to make him lose consciousness

Chang refusing to lose started to slam his back into everything in the study such as the walls, mantle, taxidermy statues and his battered desk to get Wolf off his back or at least weaken his hold, but Wolf was too determined not to lose. Chang's vision then started to blur as the darkness started to surround him and slowly consume him, he kept trying to get Wolf off of his back, but he was losing the oxygen that was being kept and slowly Chang started to slow down and then he fell face first into the wooden floor with a loud slamming noise following as he landed on the floor.

Wolf started breathing hard as he slowly released his hold from Chang's neck. Wolf stood up looking down upon the fallen kingpin with his eyes full of pride "I am the victor, 'old friend'" Wolf then walked towards the desk trying to find his iron wolf mask and after a moment of searching he had found it with stains of his dried blood evident on it, but then he noticed some forms of documents that had a giant golden capital letter M on it "Is that…" suddenly everything started flashing red as an alarm went off

"Attention all personnel, this location shall self-destruct in 1 minute" said a computerized female voice echoing in the club

Wolf turned around to see Chang walking inside a hidden room, but Chang turned around and said "Good fight as always Takeo, I leave you with a parting gift" Chang then pressed a button on his remote

Suddenly the desk exploded making Wolf fly across the room with half of his cloak, the right side of his mid-long sleeve shirt and his entire mask burned off. Wolf then was consumed by darkness as the last thing he heard was Chang laughing.

"Garfield… Garfield" he kept hearing as he started to stir "Garfield you have to wake up…" Wolf opened his eyes, but everything was still blurry, but he saw a man walk towards him.

The man bent down making eye contact, he had jet black combed hair, tan skin and coal black eyes and he had a pipe in his mouth that was making a smirk "Now don't tell me you're already giving up?" the man asked with a smirk still evident on his face

Wolf's eyes went wide as he rubbed them and looked back at the man only to see he wasn't there anymore "Dad?"

"WOLF! ARE YOU THERE BRO?!" Zack yelled on the other line

"Zack?... Dude something strange just happened"

"NO TIME DUDE YOU ONLY GOT 15 SECONDS!"

Wolf's eyes went wide as he ran to the sealed door yelling "SUPER STRENGTH!" and then punching it only making a dent

"IT'S NO USE DUDE! YOU ONLY GOT 10!" Zack shouted

Wolf turned around to see a giant window giving a view of the city, getting an idea Wolf used his current super strength to lift up the desk and throw it at the window, but as the desk was in the air Wolf pointed his fist at it and shouted out "FORCE PUNCH!" sending a shockwave at the desk making it slam hard into the gigantic window making a giant hole in it as the window fell down to the street below

"HURRY UP DUDE!" Wolf then dashed towards the window "5!" Wolf then stopped and remembered his mask "4!" Wolf turned around and ran to his bloody mask "3!" Wolf placed the mask over his face "2!" Wolf then sprinted back to the window "1!" suddenly as Wolf jumped out of the window the place exploded sending Wolf flying and after gaining back the little consciousness he had lost from the explosion he yelled out "Jet Boots!" but all his boots did was spark some electricity "Aw crap, No!"

"What's Wrong?!" a worried Zack quickly asked afraid of what had just happened

"The Explosion Messed Up The Boots! I Can't Fly!" Wolf yelled

"Oh No, No, No, No, No! I'll Try To Get Them Back Online!" Zack started pressing buttons rapidly hoping to fix the boots "Come on, come on, come on" Zack kept repeating as he sweat still trying to get the boots to work

"Zack…"

"I Can Do This! I Can Do This!"

"Zack it's alright… you tried"

"Don't Say That! You're Going To Make It! You Here Me?!" Zack kept typing away hoping he could do something, but he couldn't the boots were to damaged

"Zack… thank you, you were an awesome partner, don't let this one thing make you think otherwise" Zack started to cry hearing what could be Garfield's last words "Just do me one favor"

"A-a-anything…" Zack said with tears and snot pouring down his eyes and nose

"Tell Terra who I really was… tell her that I was Beast Boy, that I was Wolf, but most importantly, tell her that I was her friend and that I will always be grateful to her for giving me her friendship" Wolf couldn't see it, but he knew Zack nodded in response "Hope to see you again someday bro" he then heard Zack scream his name before he pressed the button on the earcom cutting off the connection and then closed his eyes preparing to meet his fate, but then he felt something unexpected… he felt like he was flying. He slowly opened his eyes to see himself soaring in the sky above the city, he looked up to see his dream girl carrying him by his arms "Starfire!" he exclaimed her name with joy earning a smile from the alien girl.

Starfire flew to a nearby building and carefully set Wolf down before landing on the roof

"Starfire thank you for saving me from becoming another mess for the street sweepers to clean up" suddenly Starfire smacked the back of his head "Ow! What The Heck Starfire?!"

"That Was For Frightening Me!" Starfire yelled then she grabbed Wolf and pulled him into a tight embrace with no sign of letting go " Please… don't ever do that again" she then started crying into his shoulder

Wolf always really hated seeing Starfire cry, so he rubbed the back of her head "Please stop crying"

"I can't" she sobbed "I was so scared I was going to lose you" Starfire cried more into his shoulder

Wolf pulled her back a bit a placed a hand on her cheek and wiped away her tear "Do you still have that bear I won for you?" he asked her earning a nod from the emerald eyed beauty "Then you'll always have a part of me with you"

Starfire's heart then started to feel something she hadn't felt since all those years back when the Titans were at Tokyo, going on her instincts Starfire grabbed Wolf's mask and slowly took it off to reveal Garfield's battered and slightly burnt face "Garfield…"

"I know, it's pretty banged up" Garfield swore he heard Tiffany's voice echo B.S. in his head "But don't blame yourself, this was all my doing"

"I wish I could've done something" she said looking down, but Garfield grabbed her chin and lifted her head so she could make eye contact with him

"But you saved my life… and I'll always be grateful to you for giving me another chance, you're my shugo tenshi"

Starfire blushed at being called Garfield's guardian angel, it meant a lot to her as much as it meant so much to Garfield, her instincts took over again as Starfire cupped Garfield's cheeks surprising him and then she leaned in and locked both their lips together

Garfield's eyes widened in both surprise and confusion, he thought Starfire made her choice, but now she's doing this with him, Garfield knew she wasn't playing with his heart, Starfire was too kind to be one of those girls, but it just so damn confusing

Starfire pulled back and realized what she did "Garfield I…" suddenly Starfire's communicator beeped

"Starfire Where Are You?!" Robin called on the other side of the line with worry

Starfire felt hesitant to pick up her communicator, but Garfield took it and answered it for her

"She's fine" Garfield answered

"Wolf?! Where are you?" Robin demanded answers

"Don't know, things are still a little fuzzy after being so close to the explosion, but don't worry both I and Starfire are alright, well at least Starfire is anyway, but don't worry about me only got a few scratches" Garfield heard Tiffany echo B.S. in his head again 'I have to really stop hanging out that chick so often' he thought "Starfire will meet you at the Tower, thanks for the help" Garfield then hung up and gave Starfire her communicator back

Starfire looked at Garfield with her sad eyes

"Is something wrong?" Garfield asked confused as to what she'd be sad about

"Aren't you coming back with us?" Starfire asked

"Sorry Star, but… my life's changed so much in just a short time and it's great, I mean I'm not only friends with Terra again, but I also have new ones and I have an awesome job and I get to learn new things, especially ones that I never got the chance to learn when I was younger… I can't just turn my back on that… I'm sorry Koriand'r"

"You remember my Tamaranian name" she said with surprise

"Of course I do" he placed both his hands on her shoulders "It's the most beautiful name I've ever heard" Starfire's cheeks heated up as well as her chest, she then started to lean in, but Garfield put a finger on her lips stopping them "You better go, don't want Robin to have a heart attack"

Starfire nodded, luckily she understood more of how the young crowd say things that mean another or she would have panicked at hearing this, she took Garfield's hands and held them looking straight into his eyes "I hope to see you again"

"You will" he smiled "I promise"

Starfire nodded and flew away with a single tear going down her eye "I miss you already" she whispered

Garfield stared at her retreating form until she was out of sight. Garfield pressed the earcom button to hear sobs and weeps from Zack

"WHY! He Was So Young! Maybe Not Tween Young And May Have Been A Year Away From Adulthood, But He Was Still Young! Why God, WHY?!" Zack sobbed

Garfield may have been touched that Zack already considered him a friend, probably his best friend, but he could help but laugh "Dude enough of the water works"

"AH!" Zack screamed "You're Alive! How?!"

"An old friend helped me out" Garfield answered

"Oh thank God, and here I thought I'd have to call Terra and tell her what almost was the bad news"

"She gave you her number?"

"No"

"Of course" Garfield mumbled "Anyway I'll meet you at your place"

"There's a bus down the street you're in, hitch a ride and it will take you two blocks away from home"

"Thanks Zack" Garfield found the bus and jumped on it's roof and enjoyed the trip

Havoc City Mech Industries

Sitting behind his desk Theodore Mech was enjoying a nice glass of wine listening to classical opera enjoying a moment with his own thoughts

Unfortunately that moment was about to be interrupted

The doors kicked open to reveal a beaten Chang who was dragging a bunch of security guards "MECH!"

"Ah, Chun Lee, how are things"

"I came here for answers" Chang said walking towards Mech's desk dragging the security guards with him

"Guards" the security guards looked at their boss "Please leave us" the guards released Chang and bowed at their employer and walked back out of the office closing the door. Mech grabbed a remote and pressed a button turning off the music then placed his wine glass down on the table and intertwined his fingers "Now what may I do for you?"

"Why does Takeo have Mech technology at his disposal?" Chang demanded answers

"Who?"

"THE WOLF! FROM JUMP CITY!" Chang yelled

"Ah yes that was a side payment for a job he had done for me"

"WHAT?!"

"If that is all then you may leave"

"Hold On There You Goddamn-"

Mech then stood up making Chang flinch "I said if that is all then you may go, now"

"But What About My Empire?!"

"You're a smart man, you figure it out" Mech sat down in his chair with his eyes closed and his fingers entwined his fingers again "You may go now"

Knowing he wasn't going to get much out of him, Chang left Mech's office leaving him with his thoughts

"I sssssssee that he has also been bested by this new hero, just like Victor and Deathssssssstroke" said a figure in the shadows with only his eyes being visible, one looked like that of a reptile while the other, or more like others were one that looked like a spider's eye, another that was oval shaped and colored green and finally the third eye was squinted and colored purple

"Yes, but then again Kenichi never teaches weaklings or let up on them" Mech replied to the figure

The figure then made a noise that was a mix of a rattle snake and a predator alien "Do you think he'll be an inconvenience in the future?"

"Of course, but he was useful, I got what I wanted from the deal"

Flashback

"What deal?" O'Brien asked feeling a bit suspicious

"To make a treaty between our companies"

"A Merger?!" exclaimed Mirimoto

"Sort of, you see all four of us have had the piece to my machine stolen, us four have high respective businesses with the finest security, and yet some mysterious punk had stolen a piece of the P.M.G."

"How Exactly Do You Know It Was Committed By The Same Man?!" O-Brien exclaimed

"Please Malcolm, it's obvious it was done by the same person, these are no random heists, they are obviously connected"

"But how can one thief steal from us so easily?" Mirimoto asked

"We have a whole world filled with skilled professionals and super powered beings, in fact you have seen those types before"

Mech was indeed correct as Mirimoto remembered Tokyo's heroes, The Teen Titans

"All I wish for is to join together"

"And how will you convince us?" O'Brien asked

Mech snapped his fingers and soon enough through the doors came a man whose face and rest of his body was hidden by a white hooded robe bringing in a giant metal human sized box

"Gentlemen, please take a seat" Mech offered to the couch on the side of the office

The three business men walked to the couch to see what their business associate had to offer

"Dr. Hybe"

The hooded man nodded and pressed a sequence of buttons

Suddenly the box released steam and then all the sides fell to the floor and as the steam cleared up there stood a robot that looked just like a man but had a red eye and a rectangular holder on it's back

(Think of grey fox from the metal gear solid, or the skin from revengeance only without the orange parts of his armor)

"Gentlemen, allow me to present The Enforcer" Mech introduced the metallic humanoid

"What does it do?" Mirimoto asked

"I'm glad you asked" Meck nodded his head to Hybe, who returned the nod and pressed a sequence of buttons

Suddenly six hidden doors on the floor opened as six titanium block shot out from them, The Enforcer jumped into the air at karate chopped them all in half and then it grabbed the top of the rectangular object on it's back to pull out a giant samurai that was covered with a laser layering, it then proceeded to cut the blocks into tiny pieces in just two seconds and as it landed all the tiny pieces fell to the ground, but then it put it's hand up and flicked a tiny piece making it shoot like a bullet going through the wall

O'Brien and Mirimoto had their eyes wide and their jaws slacked at the performance, except for Bruce who just stood quiet during the presentation

"I have designed multiple models of these mechanical marvels and I am willing to give you each a unit of them"

"Why exactly?" O'Brien asked

"To show you I can commit to peace between us" Mech answered "All I'd like is for you to send supplies to me as well as those who agree to the deal, I wish to expand my products globally in other countries and I have a feeling you each do as well" the three business associates stood quiet thinking it over "So… what do you say?"

The three stood silent for a minute before Mirimoto spoke

"I agree to this deal"

O'Brien grunted and said "I agree as well"

"Excellent" Mech turned to Bruce "Bruce?"

Closing his eyes and staying quiet for a moment Bruce opened his eyes again and said "I agree"

"Gentlemen, we have a deal" Mech pressed the speaker phones button "Julie, please send the Enforcer units to O'Brien Corporation, Mirimoto Industries and Wayne Enterprises"

"Understood Dr. Mech"

"You may take The Enforcer prototype back Hybes"

"Undersssssstood Dr. Mech" Hybes pressed a sequence of buttons making The Enforcer prototype go back to the center of the opened box and then being seal back inside "Good day gentlemen" Hybes bowed to the three business men then taking away

"That was a prototype?" O'Brien asked

"The ones you're getting are better"

"Well Theodore as always you've outdone yourself" O'Brien stood up "I hope this deal shall go swimmingly"

"My hopes are in this deal as well" Mirimoto stood up along with Bruce

"Now if you'll excuse us we must be going" the three walked to the door

Before leaving, Bruce turned to Mech and said with a smile "It was nice seeing you Theodore" then he left the office leaving Mech sitting behind his desk

"That went well" said Hybes who appeared next to Mech

"Yes, wouldn't you agree Victor?"

There crouching on the office couch was The Anyone with a sai in his hand that had a bat transmitter stabbed into it "Minus the fact that Wayne doesn't trust you, I'd say it went pretty well" he agreed in his Russian accent

"I didn't expect him to trust me"

"Really? Then why the deal?"

"You see I made this deal, to provide the 'perfect chance' for my old colleague and now thanks to you I don't have to worry about him getting any evidence"

"Oh I see" The Anyone sat down on the getting comfy "Since you're suspected of working with criminals Wayne couldn't resist the opportunity to get some Intel, but now that his little bat bug is gone he can't get what he needs, but he can't come here and secretly place another or back out of the deal because O'Brien and Mirimoto will suspect something which means Wayne is as you Americans say 'Up shit creek without a paddle'"

"Exactly"

"So all this time you wanted Wayne"

"Yes and no" The Anyone tilted his head to the side giving the sign that he was confused "You see with the deal I now own both the mask and the man behind it"

End of flashback

"So now we wait?" the figure asked earning a nod from Mech

At the local pizza parlor

A bandaged Garfield, wearing a black tank top, an opened zipped up purple hoodie with the sleeves rolled up to the elbows, black jeans and black with purple and white sneakers, was getting some well-deserved R&R with his friends Terra, Tiffany and Zack, who he finally convinced to get some fresh air, they were at the local pizza parlor enjoying a slice sitting at one of the outside tables

"OMG, it was so fun taking Cathy down a couple notches" Tiffany said with devilish joy "Thanks again for helping me put that bitch in her place Zack"

"N-no problem" Zack said with a smile

"You know she'll get you back for this" Terra said with a smirk

"True, but I got both you and Gar to protect me" Tiffany said with a reassured smile

"Hey I never hit girls, that's not my style" Garfield told them

"Man you're such a pansy" Tiffany said with an annoyed expression

"I Am Not!"

"Whatever you say" Tiffany turned her head to the streets to see Jump City's heroes "Hey Look!"

Garfield, Terra and Zack turned to see the Teen Titans traveling down the streets in a hurry to get to a crime scene

As the Titans raced down the street, Starfire turned her eyes to the side to see Garfield with Terra and two other teens 'So it is true, he is with Terra again' Starfire looked ahead with sad eyes 'Garfield…'

Garfield and company saw the Titans speed passed them in a hurry, but Tiffany noticed something "Say have you guys noticed that the cute green one isn't around anymore?"

Garfield closed his eyes and just kept quiet, he didn't want to be reminded of who he was

"He must have went down a separate path" Zack said helping to end this conversation for Garfield "I mean look at Robin, he was Batman's sidekick after all and now he's here, the mind of a hero is confusing"

"Yeah you're right, don't want to hurt my brain overthinking it" Tiffany said letting it go

It's a miracle

Garfield smiled at Zack and gave him a thumbs up under the table which Zack returned

"I actually met him" Terra voiced getting everyone's attention

"Shut Up!" Tiffany said in disbelief "Why would he talk to you? I mean not that there's anything bad with you, it's just-"

"He said I was a superhero like them once"

"No… way…" Tiffany looked star struck at her best friend "Use Your Powers!"

"I can't" Terra told her

"Why not? ~" Tiffany whined

"Because I Can't!" Terra yelled scaring her best friend "I tried it before… and I almost hurt someone… I don't want to use my powers again, because I'm afraid to hurt you guys"

Tiffany started to ball as she grabbed her best friend into a bone crushing hug "Oh Terra, I'm So Sorry! I'll Never Ask You That Again!"

"Tiffany… You're… Crushing… Me" Terra said losing air from the hug

"Oh" Tiffany released her friend "Sorry Terra"

"So you can use super powers?" Zack asked surprised and intrigued

"Yeah… I just didn't tell him when I found out, because he wanted me to leave my life"

"Seriously?!" Tiffany exclaimed

"Well maybe, I'm not really sure, but he kept pressuring me and I just told him I'll never be that girl… she was just a memory"

"Then it's a good thing you told him off" Garfield said

"Huh?"

"Terra, you have a great life, you got friends, a foster family that loves you, and you're living the life a hero doesn't usually lives, which believe me is actually a good thing, you made the right choice" Garfield then grabbed Terra's hand "And I'm glad I got the chance to meet you for making that choice"

Terra blushed at Garfield's kind words, but she looked down at the table in embarrassment, but it didn't wipe the smile off her face

Garfield then heard Tiffany clear her throat and point at both their hands making him blush red and taking his hand away from Terra's "Sorry"

Terra then looked at Tiffany with an annoyed expression on her face, only instead of giving her best friend the usual scared look, Tiffany had a devilish smirk on her face making Terra frightened because she knew why her friend had that look 'Great job Terra, you just gave Tiffany something to annoy you with'

Garfield went back to eating his veggie pizza in peace, but then suddenly his senses kicked in as he grabbed Zack and pushed him away, then he grabbed Tiffany's phone and threw it away making her run after it and then he tackled Terra down to the ground just in time before a runaway car came crashing into the table and then into the parlor

"You alright Terra?" Garfield asked her

Terra noticed that Garfield was on top of her making her blush red "Uh huh"

Garfield helped her up and looked at both Zack and Tiffany "What about you guy?"

"I'm fine" Zack told him

"What about you Tiff?"

"I'm fine, thanks for the save" Tiffany then grabbed his collar and glared at him "But don't ever do that to my phone again"

"U-understood" Garfield said a little frightened

The four friends then turned to the car to see two guys in coming out of the crashed car, one had his face painted as a skull with red eyes and the other's had a zombie mask

"The Undead" Garfield said

The Undead are a gang like the Leather Heads, except they painted their faces or wore masks to look like the undead such as zombies and skeletons or famous movie monsters

"Goddamn Titans" the zombie masked one said with malice

"Let's just get out of here"

Suddenly Garfield got shot in the arm

"GARFIELD!" his friends shouted his name

Suddenly the skull undead member grabbed Terra "She will be good insurance"

"Let her go" Garfield ordered getting up as if nothing happened to him

"Back off man" the undead skull pointed the gun to her head

Garfield then heard the click of a gun behind him, he looked behind himself to see the zombie masked undead member with his gun pointing at him

"Night night 'hero'" the undead zombie was about to pull the trigger when suddenly he was kicked in the balls from behind and then he was hit in the back of the head with a chair

Garfield saw it was Tiffany and Zack, who was holding a metal chair, took down the undead masked zombie guy. Garfield smirked and faced the undead skull man.

Stay Back Man, I'll Shoot Her, Believe Me!"

Using his full speed Garfield knocked the gun out of the undead member's hand and then decked him in the face, releasing Terra and knocking him down and out with a bloody nose "I believe you"

Terra hugged Garfield "Thank you Garfield, but that was really stupid of you"

"I know" he hugged her back

"Come on we have to get you to a hospital" Terra began dragging him with her "And no excuses"

Zack and Tiffany followed the two as they made their way to the hospital

On Tamaran

Blackfire was sitting in her prison cell being bored as usual 'I just wish for something a little exciting to happen today'

Suddenly there was what felt like an earthquake

"What the hell?" suddenly there was an alarm "What's Going On?!"

Suddenly a tamaranian guard was thrown straight through the door of Blackfire's cell 'Now's my chance' Blackfire flew through the exit to meet with dark creatures looking for some fresh blood 'This can't be good'

Back on Earth, Garfield's apartment

Garfield sat at his computer desk sleeping with his feet on the table and a bandaged arm on a sling, his Junuvine gem suddenly shined a blinding light that cover the entire room with green light

On Tamaran

Garfield woke up to find he was running, but when he looked down he saw that he was wearing long black boots 'What the hell?' he then looked up to see a face he hadn't seen in a long time 'Blackfire?!' suddenly an explosion was heard from ahead, as he looked he saw the giant castle that him and the Titans went to for the whole bogus fake wedding thing "What The Hell Is Going On?!" he yelled

Blackfire suddenly stopped dead in her tracks "What?!" she looked down at her Junuvine gem necklace "Whose That?! You're Not Starfire?!"

"And You're Not In Tamaranian Jail!"

"Beast Boy?!"

"It's Logan Now! What The Hell Is Going On?!" Garfield demanded answers

"Where's My Sister?!" she demanded her sibling

"Answer My Damn Question First!"

"You Can See What Happening Through The Gem In Your Dreaming State Can't You?!"

"Yeah- wait, How The Hell Do You Know I'm Asleep?!"

"The Gem That Me And My Sister Were Given At Birth Are Connected! I Was Trying To Contact Her, But No Wonder She Hadn't Answered, You're Wearing It, Other Life Forms Who Aren't From Tamaran Can Only Respond When They Are Asleep! Why Are You Wearing It?!"

"Your sister gave it to me as a gift for my birthday" he answered her with a serious tone

"Wow… You must really be important to her"

"Yeah… I guess so" he started to feel a smile coming to his face, or he guessed anyway, he wasn't sure because he was asleep "Who's attacking Tamaran?"

"I don't know, these monsters that we've never seen before" suddenly something jumped in front of her "Oh crap"

The monster was large as was as dark as a black hole, it looked muscular, had sharp teeth, but the most noticeable thing about it was it's deer like horns and four red eyes

"TRIGON?!" Garfield screamed the name of his friend's father

"TRIGON?! HE'S ATTACKING TAMARAN?!" Blackfire started freaking out

"I don't know, but don't wait around to find out" Blackfire nodded her head in agreement and flew away as fast as she could

The monster looked as Blackfire flew over it and headed straight for the castle, it then started to speak in a raspy monstrous "Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" then a beam of black magic shot out of it's mouth and hit Blackfire

"BLACKFIRE!" Garfield screamed her name as she crash into the ground "Are You Still Able To Move?!"

"Yeah, I am" she got up then she turned around to see the thing charge at her she crossed her arms together preparing for the worst

Garfield stared wide eyed at the monster, he couldn't save her or do anything to help her, all he could do is pray, and luckily his prayers were heard as a Tamaranian soldier came with a war hammer slammed the monster hard on the ground with gigantic hammer and then putted the creature away like a golf ball

"Blackfire look"

The dark hair beauty took her arms away from her face to see a Tamaranian soldier with a large war hammer

"Blackfire… what are you doing out of your cell" the soldier glared at her

"Those creatures killed of the guards, I escaped with a few other prisoners, but those things chased us and started slaughtering the rest of the criminals… I think I'm the only one left… who's attacking Tamaran?!"

"We do not know, but whoever they are they have killed off most of our forces and are headed for the castle"

"Let me help you, I know you and the rest of Tamaran's people can never forgive me for what I've done, but I am still Tamaran and whether I am a criminal or not I will still defend my planet"

Even though the soldier still didn't trust her Tamaran needed all the muscle they can get "We are retreating into the castle, you may follow me, but I will be keeping my eyes on you"

Blackfire nodded understandingly and then the both flew to the castle

"I'm going to get the Titans so we can help" Garfield told

"Thank you" Blackfire thanked him before her gem stopped glowing

"That came from your gem, but it didn't sound like Starfire"

"Yeah I know, but it was one of her friends, he's going to get them to help us"

"I hope they'll come in time"

Suddenly magma was shot from the ground almost hitting them, but the managed to dodge it

"What The Hell?!" Blackfire screamed

Suddenly more giant plumes of magma shot out everywhere along with an earthquake making giant cracks that turned into abysses and the ground started crumbling, the whole mix engulfed the homes of the Tamaran citizens and no doubt the people of Tamaran as well

"Oh my God" she said covering her mouth

"We Have To Hurry And Get To The Tower Now!" the soldier yelled getting Blackfire's attention

Blackfire nodded and started to fly as fast as she could with the soldier heading straight to the tower 'Please Hurry Logan'

Back on Earth, Garfield's room

Garfield woke up, grabbed his back pack that held his Midnight Wolf suit and then he burst through the door 'I have to hurry'

At Titan's Tower

Garfield finally made it to the tower thanks to a speed boat he 'borrowed', he ran all the way to the giant door and pressed the open button on the panel and ran inside and used the elevator going up to the top. As the elevator stopped and the doors open Garfield ran out and headed for the main room, he burst through the door and screamed "TITANS EMERGENCY!" but he then noticed that none of the Titans were there "Shit" he then ran to Robin's room "ROBIN EMERGENCY!" but Robin wasn't there so he tried Cyborg's room, but he wasn't there either, so he then ran into Raven's room, knocking before entering of course, but she wasn't there either "Crap!" Garfield ran down the hall to get to Starfire's room 'Please God, let her be there' Garfield burst through Starfire's door "STARFIRE!" Garfield looked around the room "STARFIRE WHERE ARE YOU?!" Garfield searched everywhere for her, but he couldn't find a trace of her "Starfire…" Garfield fell to the ground sitting up bringing his knees up burying his face into them "Please… anyone…" he sat there not knowing what to do "I wish I was Superman" he whispered silently "I wish I-" suddenly he felt something rubbing up against his leg, something slimy 'Wait a minute' he looked down to see the closest thing he could call a son "Silky!" he pulled the mutant silk worm in a comforting embraced that the worm returned by rubbing against his face since he didn't have arms "I'm scared Silky… I don't know what to do… I can't find mommy and the Titans anywhere" Silky lipped his way out of Garfield's hold and left the room "Silky?" Garfield got up and left Starfire's room to find Silky waiting for him in the hallway then left into another one, it took a moment, but Garfield realized that Silky was trying to lead him somewhere "Alright Silky, lead daddy to wherever" Garfield followed Silky to the main room where Silky was pressing against the glass window. Garfield got behind Silky and bent down to his level to see what Silky was trying to show him, he looked ahead to see the little silk worm was looking towards the pier/carnival "The carnival? Is that where the Titans are?" Silky nodded to Garfield "Sweet!" Garfield pulled Silky into a happy embrace "Daddy's So Proud Of You My Little Bumgorf!" Silky chirped with glee and rubbed against Garfield's face "Daddy's gotta go get mommy, I promise I'll be right back" Garfield put Silky down on the couch "Just don't eat the couch while I'm gone" after getting a nod from his bumgorf he quickly ran out of the main room and into the elevator 'I hope I make it in time'

At the Pier/Carnival

Garfield ran all over the place to find the Titans and after a while of searching he found all four of them having cotton candy "GUYS!" the four Titans turned to see Garfield running towards them

"BB? What are you doing here?" Cyborg asked

"Guys we have got to get to the tower and take the spaceship, NOW!"

"Why?" Robin asked

"Tamaran is being attacked" everyone gasped

"How do you know?" Robin asked hoping his friend was lying

"Well I was asleep-"

"So it was just a dream" Raven said with an annoyed glare

"No It Wasn't! I Saw It All Because Of Blackfire's Gem"

"Blackfire?!" Robin, Cyborg and Raven exclaimed

"The connection" Starfire said

"What connection?" Robin asked

"When both Blackfire and I were born we were given two necklaces that had Junuvine gems attached to them, the two gems were from the same cluster which meant that even though they weren't together anymore it didn't mean that they weren't connected, my sister and I always wore our gems when we were little so we'd always talk to each other and always be together" Starfire explained

"So it's like a distant phone call" Cyborg summed it down

"But why did it only work for Garfield when he was asleep" Robin asked

"Us Tamaranian always have peace of mind so it is simple for us to communicate through the Junuvine gem" Starfire explained

"That's why other life forms can only use it like that when they sleep, it's the only time they are at that state" Garfield deduced

"Exactly"

"Alright then let's hurry to the tower" Robin order as they started running, but Garfield stopped when he noticed something in the sky, it looked just like a shooting star, but Garfield had a gut feeling that wasn't it

"Garfield what is wrong?" Starfire came from behind and looked up to where he was looking to see something headed towards Earth

As the mysterious object neared the surface it crash landed onto the beach

Not waiting a moment Garfield ran to the edge of the pier and jumped over the railing landing on the sand and sprinting towards the crashed object. As he came closer Garfield saw it was what looked like an escape pod "What the…" suddenly the pod opened up to reveal an injured Blackfire "Blackfire!" Garfield ran to the injured Tamaranian and picked her up bridal style

"Garfield what's going on?" Robin asked with the rest of the Titans behind him to see him holding Blackfire who was badly wounded

"SISTER!" Starfire screamed seeing her only sister in such a state

"We have to get her to the tower" Garfield ordered getting a nod from everyone as the started making their way to the tower

End of Chapter 7

And now ladies and gents I'd like to present a little special thing I'd like to call:

Villains Corner

Where I tell you the backstory of one of the villains I created

Today, Chun Lee Chang

On the day he was born Kirito Shuishi, the real name of Chun Lee Chang, was conceived he was completely covered in blood, considered an omen to the priest of the child saying that the child would be the downfall of the village, but Kirito was protected by his father who was the village chief.

When he was six, raiders burst into his home killing his mother right in front of him and then raping her corpse, as he saw his mother's fate Kirito started seeing red as he grabbed a sword own by his father and murdered the raiders in cold blood. Kirito's father had arrived to see his son murder the final raider in cold blood, afraid of what his son might become Kirito's father planned to kill him at night, but Kirito ran away to live in the forest.

Over the years Kirito had become a merciless savage warrior, he captured, killed and defeated the animals of the forest… except for one

Takeo, the valiant wolf of the forest who was as dark as the midnight sky itself

Takeo had freed a doe from one of Kirito's traps

Setting his eyes on the Wolf for revenge on taking away his meal Kirito tried to kill Takeo, but Takeo had defeated him easily, but Kirito wasn't finished

As the years went by Kirito had been trying to defeat Takeo, but Takeo was always one step ahead of Kirito defeating him, fueling the determined fire of Kirito's soul that demanded victory over Takeo

At the age of 28 Kirito was having a one-on-one battle with Takeo, after a long battle Kirito took too much damage while Takeo had little, in the end Takeo won but he then walked underneath a giant tree and laid there accepting his fate, dying of old age

Kirito had respected Takeo to the very end, but he was extremely angry and upset that he never once had reigned victorious over Takeo. Not wishing to live in the forest as it would only be a reminder of Takeo, he left to a smaller village where he used his brain and brawn to become a warlord. With an army by his side Kirito attacked his old home village, exterminating many lives and killing his father with his bare hands being drenched in blooded he gained the name

The King Born From Blood

After years of ruling the village his own men launched a coup d'état on him… it was a grave mistake.

Kirito murdered all of his men on his own and burned down the village and forest to the ground

After traveling on foot he met a man in a business suit who had heard of his 'accomplishments' and offered him a chance to rule once again, which he accepted after a little persuasion

In America he changed his name to Chun Lee Chang and became a warlord working for the suited man and kingpin of multiple cities in the country

Hope you liked it, see you next time
