(Man, this one has a lot of action. Be prepared guys, this is gonna get bloody.)
It was nine P.M. Herald had agreed to take the watch. Everyone else was sleeping (or at least trying to sleep).
See-More gulped as he went up to Herald. "Couldn't sleep. Waiting for them to move?" Herald nodded and said, "Yeah. Nothing yet, Caleb must be waiting for the opportune moment. Gizmo is fine, still a bit ticked off... but I'm pretty sure that Robin didn't want to expose the kids to a possible slaughter house." See-More nodded. "Yeah. We only brought Gizmo along for the 'friendly' things, you know, stealing stuff from stores? Not... hurting people." See-More said.
Then See-More clicked his visor until he reached a telescope one. "Hold on... I think they're up to something." Herald peered into the darkness. Then all the boats gunned it and began heading to the island. Herald nodded and blew his horn as loudly as possible.
"Did anyone actually sleep?" Angel grumbled. Kyd Wykkyd shook his head and signed, 'Felt too scared to sleep.' Jericho nodded at Kyd and signed back, 'Kole was scared, so she came into my room.' Kyd grinned and signed, 'Hope you two didn't exhaust yourselves making out.' Jericho blushed and smacked Kyd's arm.
"You two, don't fight. We have Purity to do that with." Speedy said, stringing his bow. Cheshire straightened her mask and was coating her claws with something. "What are you doing?" Pantha asked. "I won't have time to stick with one person. This poison won't be enough to kill them. It'll just knock them out for a couple hours." Cheshire said smoothly. "I would've added more, but then Robin would be very angry."
Pantha nodded. Then Billy glared at one of the boats. "That fat bastard..." He said. "Huh?" Calypso was wearing a dark purple jumpsuit with orange designs on the arms. "Control Freak is on their side." Billy said, pointing at one of the boats. True enough, Control Freak sat there, with plenty of inventions.
"I'll pay fifty bucks to whoever kills him." Punk Rocket said. This time, Robin didn't yell at him. "I'll add twenty to that, that jerk." Jinx growled.
See-More went to laser mode. "Fire?" He asked Robin. "Wait." Robin said. "We don't have to do this, Caleb!" Robin yelled. "Unfortunately, we do, Robin. Attack, Purity!" Caleb yelled back, waving a large pistol. Robin nodded at the titans. "Teen Titans, Go!" Robin and Bumblebee yelled. "Hive Five, eat them alive!" See-More said, firing his laser.
"Remember, don't shoot to kill, guys." Vega reminded the villains. "Except for Control Freak. He's free game, right?" Gizmo said, sending out small bomb dropping mini-planes. "Alright... I won't protest. That jerk is a side switcher." Vega said.
Mostly, the only ones getting action were those with ranging weapons. Aqualad was making sure the current went against them. Then one boat gunned it and hit the island with a bang. "That makes three boats that have hit the island." Vega grumbled, jumping near the wreckage and slicing at any Purity members. "Come on, Punk Rocket! Lets get these idiots outta here!" Johnny leaped aboard and began pummeling anyone within reach.
Punk nodded and strummed his guitar, sending out blast after blast. Red X had gotten into a practice of teleporting on boats and knocking out the drivers.
But there was over three hundred people, with several weapons, against thirty-two teenagers. The odds were ten on one. And they began feeling the blows fast.
"Billy!" Calypso leaned over and examined her duplicating friend. "I'm... fine." He moaned, even though it was obvious he was bleeding from several areas. "One of my clones got killed... had to take all of them in..." He groaned. Calypso made a light canopy and picked him up to deliver him to Raven.
Raven had her hands full. Constantly, she'd be taking care of injuries that ranged from a bruise to a bullet to the stomach. "You okay, Beast Boy?" She flew next to him. "I... think so... I'm bleeding... but I don't feel it. Is that bad?" Beast Boy looked up at her with almost empty eyes. He had a severe slash wound to the stomach and thigh. "Oh Azar..." Raven said, and began to heal him. "Stay out of battle for a couple minutes, Garfield. That's an order." Raven said after she was done. She flew off and nearly was shot, but luckily she had shields around her.
Jinx screamed as someone picked her up. "Put me down, you ass!" She yelled. The voice jeered and said, "What's the matter, can't use your powers when you are off the ground?" Then Kid Flash body slammed the goon. "No, she can't. But that doesn't mean that she doesn't have people watching her." Kid said, growling.
Thunder groaned. "What... happened, brother?" Lightning landed next to him. "Someone hit you over the head. It broke your helmet." Thunder reached up and gingerly touched his head. "Careful, Raven has to get to that." Lightning said. Then someone knocked a goon away from the two brothers. "Thanks, Bushido." Lightning said. Bushido nodded and continued fighting.
Kole shrieked when one of the men approached her. Then he used the sign 'J'. "Jericho! Oh goodness, that freaked me!" Kole said, exhaling. "I figured. Its just me. Where's G'narrk?" He asked through his new body. "I don't know, we were separated." Kole said. Then she glanced to her right. "Oh no!" She yelled, then ran over there, Jericho following.
G'narrk had been beaten up pretty badly. Johnny Rancid was punching anyone that got too close. "Dang it, I could seriously use a club right now." He grumbled. "Use me!" Kole said, turning her body into crystal. Johnny blinked in surprise. "That would work." He said, picking her up and swinging her at another thug.
Raven went down and gasped with exhaustion. "I... can't do this for much longer." Raven said, trying to suck in air. Beast Boy approached her. "I'll help, Raven." He turned himself into a pterodactyl and gestured for Raven to get on. She got on and Beast Boy flew her to the correct destinations.
Argent growled at the ring of Purity members around her. "Make a move, girl!" One of them jeered. Then Hotspot leaped into the ring and started flaring out. "I'll help her then." He snarled at the thug. Argent grinned and started shooting plasma blasts.
Starfire yelped and hit the ground in pain. A bullet had skimmed her side and she couldn't find air to breath. "Help..." She said to no one. "Hey, assholes, come and face me!" Out of no where, Kitten leaped down and used an electric whip a couple creeps. "Kitten... thank you." Starfire said. Kitten helped her up. "I decided I owe you. And Robin might be angry if something bad happened to his girlfriend." Kitten said. Starfire smiled at her previous enemy.
"Look out Titans, it is your worse nemesis! Control Freak!" Control Freak was on one of his crazy rants when See-More leaped on his boat. "Hey, Couch potato!" He yelled. Control Freak turned around and was hit by a laser, making him fall into the water.
All in all, the titans were barely holding their own. "If we just got to Caleb, we could win this battle easy." Robin said, gritting his teeth. "He's the type of leader that leads from the back, like a coward!" Vega said, biting someone's arm and scratching their face. Then Punk limped over.
"We need just one thing to go our way. One thing!" Punk yelled. Then the sky crackled and it began to rain. "Is that it?" Vega yelled. "No... its not enough. Just one thing to go our way, and we could get to Caleb!" Punk said.
Jericho groaned in pain. His head was murdering him from doing too many body jumps in too little time. "Say goodnight, titan!" Jericho glanced up and prepared himself to get hit with a baseball bat when he heard a very light whirring and a yell.
Robin's eyes were about to fall out of his mask. "Slade bots!" Yes. There was several Slade bots, moving in and practically saving them. Everyone gave a ragged cheer. "What... why would Deathstroke help us!" Vega yelled in shock. "No idea. I'm not about to question it too much though!" Cyborg said, grinning.
"Kyd!" Kyd Wykkyd teleported over to Punk Rocket and Vega. "Get Cheshire. We have a plan." Vega said. Kyd nodded and teleported away.
Caleb was angry. "How can this be!" He yelled, then pounded his fist angrily into his dashboard. He had hid in the back boat with a couple guards to save him, just in case. But now, a supposed assassin/mercenary was HELPING their worst enemy!
He heard a whooshing noise and someone yelling in shock. He glanced out of the cabin and saw Kyd Wykkyd, Vega (though he knew her as Feral), Punk Rocket, and he could've sworn he saw someone else, but the person vanished. The guards were quickly dispatched.
"Give it up, Caleb! We got you!" Vega yelled. Caleb was, at that moment, afraid for his life. "No, you don't! I'm still alive, aren't I?" Caleb yelled. The group strode into the cabin. "Caleb. I will give you one last chance. Surrender. Or else." Vega said. "None of us are titans, Caleb." Punk Rocket said.
Caleb snorted. "It'll just prove me right. All you un-humans are done for when they hear that an un-human murdered Caleb White!" Vega blinked in surprise. "Actually, we aren't going to kill you. Cheshire?" The other person reappeared. "Cheshire is a trained assassin. And totally human. And we can't decide what she'll do." Vega said. "Kyd, teleport us away. Robin might kill me if he knew I was involved in this." Vega ordered. Kyd Wykkyd nodded and teleported the small group away.
Cheshire didn't waste time. She ran forward and inserted a claw into his arm, and Caleb smacked her away. "You bitch, that hurt!" Caleb yelled. Cheshire grinned widely under her mask. "If you think that hurt... wait for the poison to kick in. Know why I did it? I did it for those families you killed. I did it because there are now children without parents, wives without husbands, and siblings missing siblings, thanks to you." Cheshire took off her mask, revealing her the famous Cheshire grin. "And I did it for the Titan, Speedy, that you are trying to murder. Goodbye, Caleb."
Caleb opened his mouth but felt a burning sensation in his arm. He tried to scream, but he felt like he was choking on his tongue. Slowly, he tumbled onto the floor, his face trapped in a silent horror. And then, Caleb White died. Alone, except for a grinning face outside the cabin.
Then Cheshire straightened her mask and grabbed the body. She dragged the corpse out and shouted, "Caleb White is dead!" The whole purity group gasped at Caleb's body. After that, Purity lost their courage and turned on the still in one piece boats and drove away.
Slowly, the titans watched as the group ran off, to be intercepted by cops. "So... we won?" Beast Boy said slowly. Vega nodded, then grinned. "We won!" She yelled. Everyone slowly began cheering and yelling.
After the cheering died down, the group glanced at the sky. "Its the sun rise..." Red Star slowly. Most of the group stood silently and watched the sun come up. "Its a new day... and I'm going to sleep through it! Goodnight, people!" Vega said, heading into the tower. Everyone smiled at Vega's comment.
A Slade bot recorded their celebration and Slade was watching it live. He hit a button and all the bots went under water and deactivated. "My son... I hope you understand the message I brought." Slade said quietly, then he left his desk. On the side of it, there was a small picture of a slightly older man with a small blonde boy.
(For all of those who don't know, Slade is Jericho's father. Shocker, I know, I didn't know for quite some time that Slade fathered the most innocent looking titan... but it is his fault that he's mute so... yeah. But hey, I read up on Slade. I believe, that he sorta regrets letting his son become mute... and I do believe that he loves his son, no matter what.)
