(The great battle scene begins!)
The house was empty, save a few mice. "Titans, search everywhere, we have to find him." Robin ordered, glancing around quickly. Everyone split up, quickly ransacking everything. "Uh, guys, not trying to freak you or anything... but I know why the mayor probably wasn't responding to our calls." Shimmer said, grimacing.
A dead body was on the couch, rotting away. "Great." Bumblebee muttered, punching a wall.
The panel she punched shifted inwards and then a staircase revealed itself. "Found it. Lets get in there!" Bumblebee's stingers were crackling as she followed Starfire's glowing hand.
Cyborg activated his light and glanced around. "Don't see anyone yet... Bee, take someone with you and go find Blood." Bumblebee raised her eyebrows and said, "Cyborg, isn't he your enemy?" "This time around, he's yours." He said quickly.
Bumblebee glanced at Billy. "Think you could leave a couple clones here?" She asked. Billy nodded and split himself into two. "This way, we won't lose too many people." She said to Robin.
The two headed off a pathway. "Lets go this way." Shimmer said, skipping down the hall. Then she shrieked, "This way bad!" and ran off, Cyclones chasing her. "Titans, go!" "HIVE, attack pattern Alpha!"
The groups attacked.
Bumblebee heard the yells and turned around. "Maybe we should go back to help." She said nervously. "Chill, Bee-Bee. They can handle it." Billy said reassuringly, turning on a flashlight. "Woah... generator room. If this is anything like HIVE Academy, we're close." He said, looking at all of the machines.
Bumblebee's eyes narrowed. "Trust me, I know." She flew around in her small form and got in her surroundings fully.
Six giant generators were in the room, clanking and turning. All of their tops were open, revealing clanking gears and metal. A large metal walk way circled the top. Then her eyes landed on a door. Without even calling for Billy, she flew towards it, growing full size and punching open the door.
She stormed in, stingers crackling and looking around wildly for Blood.
Her blood turned to ice as she discovered what this room was. "Its the office..." She murmured. And it was correct. The desk, the filing cabinets, even the wallpaper was the same. "Yes, I am glad you recognize it, Bumblebee."
Bumblebee whipped around to see Brother Blood behind her. "Back off, old man." She growled, backing away from him and glaring. "Why should I do that, Karen?" He said, his grin staying strong. "I'm gonna kill you!" She screamed, shooting an energy blast at him.
Brother Blood dodged it with relative ease, and before Bumblebee could realize it, he had moved forward, twisting both of her wrists painfully and causing her to drop the stingers. "You're still my best student, but you can not hope to defeat me." He said, his eyes glowing red.
Bumblebee forced him out of her head. "No, get out of my head, I don't want to see those images again..." She growled, a tear running down her cheek. "Remember the first lesson, Bee. No one defies Brother Blood!" He said, pushing her backwards onto his desk.
His smirk became much darker and he said, "Perhaps its time you delivered your report..." Bumblebee looked up in horror.
The door burst open and Brother Blood was body slammed by a very pissed off Billy Numerous. Brother Blood hit the ground, his metal knees cracking. "Bee, why the hell didn't you get me?" Billy said, cracking his knuckles. Bumblebee just leaned against the desk, her face horrified.
Billy figured out what almost happened and said, "Blood, your lucky Robin said we can't kill you." Brother Blood got back up and said, "Fool, how can you beat me by yourself?" Billy grinned and said, "You can handle one Billy Numerous, but how would you like to handle ten?"
Billy split himself into ten and charged Brother Blood.
The Cyclones defeated, Robin took over the situation. "Billy, what's wrong?" He asked the clone. Billy looked up, infuriated and scared. "Its Bee!" The Billy's in the room vanished, heading straight for the main one.
The Titans glanced at each other. "Lets go get Blood. I really, really hope Billy lets me get a punch in." Mammoth said, running towards the other hall.
The other HIVE members limped behind, all of them suffering from various injuries. Angel grabbed her boyfriend's cape and said, "Oh, no you don't! Raven, help him out, please." Kyd Wykkyd was by far the worst off. His cape was speckled with blood and oil, his face was black and blue, one eye was even swollen shut, and his leg had a long slice down it. Raven sighed and said, "Angel's right, I'll heal him."
Then some HIVE guards charged and started shooting. "HIVE, keep moving, we'll handle this!" Robin yelled, spinning his bo staff around. "Got it!" See-More yelled.
When the HIVE arrived, they found an interesting sight. Billy was pounding the living hell out of Brother Blood on the upper walkway. Several of his clones were passed out on the ground or the stairs, but Billy kept charging. "Fool, you can not defeat me." "Aw, up yours!" Billy yelled, throwing another punch.
Billy shoved him against the railing and said, "Tell me what hell's like, alright?" Brother Blood shot a power blast at him, sending him into the wall with a loud 'crack'. "How about you tell me first?" Blood growled, his fists glowing.
"DON'T TOUCH HIM!"
Static blasts pushed Blood backwards and he tipped over the railing. Only his reflexes saved him and he grabbed the railing at the last second. Blood attempted to pull himself up, but out of nowhere, a sonic cannon blast severed the railing and Blood fell down... right into one of the generators.
The crunching and the final scream even made the hardened HIVE villains wince. "What happened?" Robin yelled as the Titans ran in. "Uh... lets just say we won't be needing a body bag... or handcuffs." See-More said, wincing at the grinding noises. "Oh man, that's just sick." Cyborg said, and Mas Y Menos nodded and shuddered.
Gizmo had coughed up his supper in the corner. "You said it, tin man. But... wait a sec, didn't you shoot the cannon blast?" Cyborg looked confused. "No, we weren't here yet." "Well, whoever did, thank them when you see them." Bumblebee said, flying down with an unconscious Billy. He had regrouped after Brother Blood threw him into the wall, and he was a mess. His uniform was caked with blood, some not his own, he had grease stains too, and his head cover and sunglasses were ripped off. "Raven, give me a hand here." Bumblebee said, lowering Billy gently down.
His light brown eyes flickered open, and he muttered, "Did we get him?" Bumblebee nodded and said, "Yeah, Billy, we got him." Billy smiled weakly. "Oh, good... don't want him to hurtin' anybody no more... especially not you..." He murmured, closing his eyes.
Raven went over and began healing, chanting her spell. Finally, she fell backward and said, "Most of the internal damage has been repaired... I need a nap." Raven passed out.
Kyd glanced at Robin and signed, 'So... we won?' Robin smirked. "Yeah, we won." Everyone let out a cheer.
A little way away, Cyborgirl turned her arm back to normal and smirked. "No one controls me." She said, then added quietly, "Thanks for the power ups, old man."
(So, that's the end of Brother Blood... good freaking riddance.
Bye byes, remember to review!)
