(Jump City, California…)
A silent figure jumps from roof to roof, heading towards the docks at the south end of Town. The figure soon jumps off of the closest roof and lands before a single Warehouse with a large L on the front and mentally rolls his eyes. Holding out a single hand a red X shaped object flies forward and attaches to the front of door. The X begins to spark before vanishing and the tumblers on the door slowly line into place. Quickly lunging forward the figure places his hands into the crack between the doors and pulls them open, only to quickly rush in when he saw someone coming towards him, looks like the silent alarm went off…
--
It's simple, there's good and there's evil. There are those who commit crimes, and those who stop them.
--
The teen titans had just arrived to investigating a silent alarm at the Lexcorp. Warehouse at the docks of Jump City. They got there just in time to see a black clad figure slip in through a partially opened door. The group quickly exited the T- car in order to give chase. Entering the building the Cyborg on the team activates his flashlight so they could see, only to view a black object turn down a corner, the night watchman left unconscious at his desk…
--
There are those who commit crimes… and those who stop them.
--
As they chased the strangely familiar figure they noticed he made not a single sound. Even the green Titan in dog form could hear neither a footstep nor a breath; they do hear a strange noise, as they get closer to the elevator however. Once they arrive at the elevator they see an open grate on the ground and look just in time to see the figure fly up the shaft of the elevator by holding onto a grappling line.
--
The two sides are opposite… as different as night and day.
--
The Teen Titans quickly fly up the shaft, one being carried by a teammate, another using a grapple of his own, the next floating up quickly, the last forming into a bird to rise up as well. The Thief has made it far however, and crouches down to place one last mirror down, deflecting a net of them back into the wall. The thief quickly rushes past the lasers, and he smirks hearing the Titans following him, yet continues forward, and turns down another damn hall…
--
The line between them is perfectly clear. Or at least… it's supposed to be.
--
Exiting the last hall the figure tosses another "Static-X" at a control panel beside a door and it opens, allowing him to run into a large room with numerous boxes. However the figures stops when he hears a shocked gasp from behind him and turns around to view the now shocked Teen Titans. Now what was revealed to them was someone they had thought they would never see again…
He wore a black skintight suit with a black ragged cape flaring behind him, a jagged red X over his chest, over his hands he wears a pair of grey gloves with a red x on each palm, around his waist is an Ash Gray belt with the compartments on the sides completely smoothed down, steel soles on the bottoms of his black boots, while covering his face is a full face mask that also covers his entire head. A white gothic metal skull that had no lower jaw covers the front of his mask, while over the right eye a jagged red x came over it, while the rest of his mask is black.
"Red-X? I thought Robin was Red-X!" the green skinned shape shifter known as Beast Boy to friend and foe alike says out loud, only for the one in front of them to aim the palms of his gloves towards them before speaking.
"Think again." He says, firing x-shurikens from his gloves.
"Titans, Go!" Robin shouts as the X's hit the ground and stick to the ground like Shuriken, causing everyone but Raven to scatter. The Dark Titan floats forward a bit before erecting a shield around her to stop the exploding devices from hitting her. As the shield lowers, she looks to her right only to see X charging right at her. She brings up another black shield in front of her, only for him to jump up and teleport behind her and knocks her to the ground with a sweeping kick. Once she is on the ground, he pulls out another x-shuriken and unfolds it, only for it to be blown out of his hand by Starfire as she starts to throw her Starbolts at him.
He jumps to avoid the bolts and ends up against a wall, sticking there with Chakra for a single second, he then jumps off and uses her back as a stepping stone on his way to the steel girders that are only a few feet from the ceiling with her now hot on his trail. The girl then begins firing at him rapidly only to miss as he jumps from one girder to another. Suddenly, he turns in mid-air to fire red beams of energy from his hands that hit the side of two vertical girders. While she is flying in between the two only for them to ricochet in an x pattern hitting her and shocking her to the ground as he lands in the junction between a vertical and horizontal girder.
Just as he catches his breath, a green pterodactyl that he assumes is Beast Boy, flies up behind him and charges at him before turning into an equally green orangutan that roars at the thief, only to get a red-x shoved into his open jaws, forcing them to stay open. Struggling for a few seconds with the x BB soon solves the problem, as he turns into a hippo and the x falls out of his mouth. Only for the shape shifter to look down and realize that he turned into an incredibly heavy animal on top of a very thin piece of metal he looks down wide-eyed just as the girder he is on, splits underneath his weight.
Red X, having jumped off of the girder after placing the trap in Beast Boys mouth, lands on the ground with a smirk underneath his mask as he watches the Green hippo fall into a pile of boxes behind him. Hearing heavy footstep in front of him, he looks up to see Cyborg running at him. He holds out his left hand and launches another x at the metal teem, wanting to use a Static-X, however this one stops right in front of the cybernetic teen and expands, the ends reach out to stick to four boxes before pulling back like elastic, crashing the boxes into him.
X manages to blink in surprise seeing this, and then inwardly wonders what the hell he did wrong before smirking. 'One left.' He thinks to himself then corrects himself as he sees Starfire, Beast Boy, Raven AND Cyborg all get out of the predicaments that he put them in and surround him to attack. 'Someone sure has a chip on their shoulder…' The thief thinks as Cyborg literally pushes a chip of wood off his shoulder making the thief chuckle in his throat… He then quickly crouches down as they start to close in and the thief points to the x on his chest as he tells them all.
"Come on, kids. X
marks the spot." Just before jumping up to avoid a blast from
Cyborg's sonic blaster, landing on a crate that Raven was preparing
to throw at him and jumped up again, avoiding another few star bolts
from Starfire, only to land with his back to beast boy in a different
gorilla form. He hit's the teleporter built into the belt just as
he is about to get crushed by a pair of large hairy fists. Puzzled at
his sudden disappearance, beast boy shrugs his huge shoulders at
Starfire and Raven who are floating behind him.
Red x reappears
behind them all on a large pile of crates, only to be tackled by the
"Traffic Light" otherwise known as Robin.
They tumble together for a minute before rolling onto their feet, from where Robin throws a birdarang at X, only for the thief to teleport out of the way of the odd shaped shuriken. The birdarang quickly returns to Robin, while X suddenly appears behind him and attempts a right hook only for the younger boy to dodge and drop to the floor. Robin then quickly brings his legs up to kick, only for X to stop the kick with one hand then fling himself back off of the Steel plated boots and behind the boy.
Robin then snarls before quickly running towards X, with a punch aimed at the taller teens head. X dodges the attack with lightning fast reflexes before then catching the next punch and flips into the air. Bringing a foot down onto the Titan X is surprised by his strength when Robin manages to catch the attack. The black clothed thief is then thrown across the room and lands against a wall, groaning slightly in pain. Before he can even think to get up however Robin has descended on him and holds his head down with one arm, while X glares at him through his masked eyes.
"Who are you?" Robin demands of the criminal before him, narrowing his eyes in suspicion.
"If I wanted you to know that, would I be wearing a mask?" X says before grabbing robins arm and using a shocker built into the gloves palms. Robin shouts in pain as electricity courses through his body before then punching him hard enough to knock him back a few good feet into some boxes. Raven and Cyborg dash out from behind said boxes and charge at him only for the cunning thief to launch another x at them as Raven begins to chant at the same time that Cyborg readies his sonic cannon to fire. Before either can attack however, X sends another Static-X forward towards the two. The weapon sends out an electrical charge, which is sent through both Titans, causing them to hit one another with their attacks instead of the thief.
"Looks like you got your wires crossed." He says jokingly before jumping back to avoid a bolt from Starfire and then jumping to avoid the starbolt. He can't help but idly wonder if all she could do was fling those stupid balls of energy… That is before he put his hands together and launched a large x that hits the girl, sending her flying to a wall where it captures her. He then teleports over to her and puts his fingers on her chin to left her face up before Saying. "You know, cutie, the only crime here is that you and I haven't gone out on a…" Before he can finish however she hits him with more powerful bolts from her eyes. 'Alright… She does have something better than lame ass Starbolts…' He thinks to himself as he ends up landing against a few boxes only to see beast boy coming at him while changing into a large bear.
'I don't have time for this shit…' The thief thinks to himself as he narrows his eyes on the charging bear. Responding quickly, the thief flips up and slams his open palm on the ground creating a large X-shaped hole in the floor, which the Green bear falls into with very wide eyes. "Watch your step." The thief says humorously as he jumps over the hole. Walking over to the still downed Robin he pushes the boy-blunder out of the way with his foot and picks up something that looks a lot like a gun. 'So this is the Xenothium scanner, finally found it at least.' he says to himself as he picks it up.
As he jumps over Robin, the boy wonder manages to get up and starts to chase him again. "I won't let you get away with…" Robin starts before being tripped by a stretchy x that wraps around his ankles, tripping him and making him hit his chin on the ground. X smirks to himself as he then turns around and looks at robin while smirking under his mask.
"Better luck next time kid…" He says as he spins the gun-like scanner around his finger before attaching it to his belt and then gives the boy-blunder a mock salute. "… And thanks for the suit." He pushes on the middle of the gray belt buckle, preparing to teleport, when it starts to work and then just stops. Looking down X blinks behind his mask then begins to press the button over and over again. "Come on, Come on." He says urgently while pressing the button again as Robin starts to get up and breaks the bonds on his legs at long last.
"Great, it's running low on juice..." He mutters lowly before turning around and running away from the pursuing Robin. Jumping up through an open roof window, he keeps running, and the boy in traffic-light tights remains in hot pursuit. This time, X begins punching the belt buckle and jumps, dodging another tackle attempt from Robin. He turns around in mid air and gives yet another mock salute before speaking to the way too serious teen yet again.
"Catch you later." With that the thief shimmers out of existence, leaving a glaring Robin in his wake. When the blond thief reappears however, his is on the roof of a building a few mere blocks away, well out of sight of the titans yet close enough that he didn't waist any of his remaining power.
"Damn, now that's what I call fun." The thief says with a little chuckle and grins to himself as he reaches up and removes the skull mask to reveal the bright blue eyes, whiskered cheek, and spiked blonde hair of one Uzumaki Naruto. "Now, if I could just figure out how this thing works." He then sys to himself as he unhooks the sensor from his belt and glares at the gun shaped device…
