Chapter 10: Time Loop

"BEAST BOY!" a loud voice screamed one sunny morning.

A cackling was heard followed by footsteps that sounded as though they were running away. However, another pair of heavy footsteps came along and this one seemed...mad.

"I'm gonna get you!" Cy exclaimed as he was chasing his green friend around the hallway.

The green one who seemed happy at his success laughed. "Only if you can catch me!"

With that, he turned into a cheetah and went into a full speed mode. Cy growled out of frustration.

Meanwhile, in the living room was none other than Raven who was meditating, saying her sacred words.

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos..."

Raven wasn't aware that her peace would be disturbed by two people that came into the living room.

"I'm gonna get your butt grass stain!" Cy yelled.

"You wish!"

Raven twitched from annoyance and irritation.

At long last, Cy had finally caught the troublemaker by tackling him to the floor. Because of this, it caused them wrestle one another. There were some exclaim of shouts here and there and this made Raven be madder.

"If I told you once and I told you twice, DON'T PUT GUNK INTO MY SYSTEM!"

"ENOUGH!" Raven raged, cutting the two off. "Here I was trying to find some peace in this tower and the only way for me to be alone is the living room! But obviously, me being alone won't happen!" Raven steamed off. "Why can't you guys be mature?"

"Why can't Beast Boy leave me alone? Or maybe try not to touch my stuff!"

"You're just to easy to pull pranks on." the green one sniggered.

"Oh I'll be easy to pull pranks on...WHEN I CUT YOUR HEAD OFF!"

Raven sighed. "This is a waste of time and energy. You need to learn to control your emotions..."

As the three kept on arguing back and forth, the door of the living room slid open to reveal Star and Robin.

"Woah, woah, woah! Guys hey listen!" Robin spoke as he saw the three fighting. "Guys calm down!"

"Please friends! We mustn't bring negativity! We must try to avoid it and bring peace and positivity as much as we could."

This got everyone's attention.

"Uh, righttttt...where did you get that from? From some voodoo person?" Beast Boy remarked.

"Uh…no?"

And then came the alarm.

"Where's the trouble?" Cy asked as Robin was clicking away.

"Downtown, 3rd street. Warehouse. Titans go!"

:(/\):

"Ah, finally! At last! This little device is finally complete, hehe!" the villain giggled, embracing the device. He then waltzed towards the large machine that looked like a cannon. The front of the cannon was sticking out of the window and it seemed to be facing the city.

"Once I plant this in my machine, the whole city will be mine to control!" his eyes gleamed with madness. "Ah! I do love when villains win!"

A sound came in and then it scratched the villain's face, making him drop his device.

He growled, facing at one of his minions. "You! I thought the security was tight!"

"Hate to break it to you but you and your plan is going down." a voice announced.

The shadows that were once on the figures were now removed and it showed the Titans.

"Well, if it isn't the Titans. How lovely to see you." he drawled, clearly being annoyed by them.

"We're shutting you down."

The villain laughed, a cold laugh. "You're all talk but can you do action?"

With that, white streaks were shot of his hands towards the group. They all jumped out of the way and Raven came in at the front.

"Cool magic show but I think it's time for an encore. Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" her black magic streaks came in contact with the white ones. It seemed like a tug-o-war; one side would push forward and vice versa.

"I'll admit. You're a worthy opponent, Dark One." the enemy spoke as he was battling with Raven. "Too bad you didn't see this coming."

He then lifted his own power at the top so that rocks can fall. Raven gasped and disappeared in the ground just in time as the rocks came tumbling down. Not too soon, Cy came from behind and struck him in the face with his fist. This caused the foe stumble back but regained his balance.

"Nu huh." then blasted his own powers which struck Cyborg back, causing him fly back.

"Any idea on how to stop this dude?" Cy asked once he joined the others.

"Well first off we need to stop him from his plan." Robin replied.

"Uh, I think it's a bit too late for that." Beast Boy responded, motioning his head to the side.

There, the villain was running towards his machine.

"It's about time to end this battle, don't you think, Titans?"

After he climbed it, he crawled upwards a bit and there, in the middle of the cannon had a hole that seemed to have a perfect fit for that device.

"NO!" Cy shouted, using his sonic cannon. He blasted at the villain that was about to put the device but the aim was a bit off. It did manage to get the device away from the foe but it also struck the disk as well.

"Uh oh."

"No, my device!" the villain exclaimed.

The disk went a bit berserk as sparks of electricity went haywire. Just like that, the device vanished and everything around them started to be all wavy…as though they were travelling back in time.

*/*/*/*/*

"BEAST BOY!" a loud voice screamed one sunny morning.

A cackling was heard followed by footsteps that sounded as though they were running away. However, another pair of heavy footsteps came along and this one seemed...mad.

"I'm gonna get you!" Cy exclaimed as he was chasing his green friend around the hallway.

The green one who seemed happy at his success laughed. "Only if you can catch me!"

Raven wasn't aware that her peace would be disturbed by two people that came into the living room.

"I'm gonna get your butt grass stain!" Cy yelled.

"You wish!"

Raven twitched from annoyance and irritation.

"If I told you once and I told you twice, DON'T PUT GUNK INTO MY SYSTEM!"

"Why can't—"Cyborg suddenly paused and had his eyes wide.

"What?" Raven asked, noticing his odd behavior.

It was then that he realized what had just happened. The villain…the device…

He just went back in time.

"Oh no…"

"So you mean to tell me you had went back in time? All of us went back in time?" Robin asked, clearly having a hard time to believe.

"Yes! It's like…a time loop or whatever. When we were fighting the villain, he was about to put the device, I shot it with my sonic cannon and well now you know what happened."

Cyborg then looked at the faces of his group. "Look I know you don't believe me and I don't blame you but it actually happened."

"Wait so…if you're back in the past…shouldn't there still be another you in the future?" Beast Boy asked then paused. "Aw, dude! This is confusing."

"Not surprising considering that you lack a brain." Raven drawled, still a bit peeved off from the morning event.

The green one scowled.

"So what else happened in the battle?" Robin asked.

"Nothing. That's about it."

"Well, we will investigate it further. Right now, there's nothing we can do."

Cyborg sighed. "Well, alright."

He then paused, having an idea in his mind. If he did had a time loop, he might as well make use of it. He grinned when he gave a glance at the Dark Titan who glided towards the door.

And he knows exactly what to do…

:(/\):

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos…" the dark Titan chanted in her dark room. It was the only place other than the living room that is peaceful.

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos…"

Knock, knock

Raven slightly twitched at the interruption but continued nonetheless.

"Azarath Metrion Zintho—"

Knock knock

She stopped chanting and took a sharp breath. She waited for a while before she was able to continue to meditate.

"Azarath Metrion—"

Knock, knock

This time, the knocking got to her and with a steamed face, she thundered towards the door which swung wide open in a harsh way.

"WHAT?!" she screamed.

The Titan eyed the hallway left and right before she eyed the floor which had arrows, indicating which way to go. Sighing, Raven left and began walking to which the arrows were pointing. Halfway of the hallway, she started to become impatient because nothing was happening and so she was just about ready to go back to her room until a loud voice exclaimed the minute she turned a corner.

"TRENABOB!" the voices shouted.

"What?"

Without a warning, something was thrown into the air and made a splat sound the minute it had collided with Raven's face. And something told her that it wasn't mud; she just hoped that it wasn't gunk either.

And whoever did this, clearly wishes an early death wish.

Just then, a cackling voice was heard and Raven sharply looked down at the hallway to catch a glimpse of a certain blue and green figures. Being red from anger, Raven gave a rage of scream as she chased the two Titans.

"NEVER YOU GREAT BIG GLUTTONS! NEVER! I WILL HAVE YOUR HEADS FOR THIS!" Raven screamed as she caught up with Beast Boy and Cyborg who were running down the hall.

The two laughed like a maniac.

And the best part of the time loop?

Raven wouldn't even remember even being pranked.

3, 2, 1… Cyborg counted in his head.

And like that, the scene disappeared in a blue-white light.

*/*/*/*/*

A cheerful whistle rang throughout the kitchen. It sounded as though it was whistling a Christmas tune. There was Robin who was happily preparing a some sort of pastry. He then placed it in the oven after getting all the ingredients and waited until it was done.

When it was done, the oven gave out a ring and Robin pulled it out of the oven.

Realizing that something was missing, Robin went back to one of the drawers but as he did, he was unaware that something or someone had placed an object inside the pie and quickly left the kitchen just as Robin had turned who paused since he thought that something was off but shrugged nonetheless.

As soon as his fork touched the pie, a loud splat was heard followed by laughs. The pie went all over Robin's face.

*/*/*/*/*

"Woah." Cyborg exclaimed, examining the surroundings. "We had a library? Since when did we had a library?" he asked Beast Boy.

"You're asking the wrong person. He doesn't even know the word meaning library." Raven drawled.

"Haha."

"Cyborg…you built it." Robin pointed it out.

"…I did? How come I don't remember?"

Raven sighed. "Anyways we're here to do some research. Find out how to stop this mad man and the time loop."

"During the battle, do you remember anything at all? Do you remember how the villain's…whatever he had looked like?" Robin asked.

"Uh well the device was kind of oval, gray and the machine looked like any other cannon. I know it's not much but when I didn't really took a good look at it when I decided to blast the villain from succeeding into his goal." Cy stated.

"Well…better than nothing." Robin responded. "So…how does the time loop works?"

"To be honest, I'm not really sure but from what my machine had picked up, the time loop comes by every fifteen seconds and then a new…uh scene or transition or whatever you want to call it comes by and yeah…"

"So…judging by that, I would say that the time loop would come…right about now." Raven replied, not picking her head up from the book.

"What?" he paused. "Oh man."

*/*/*/*/*

Cy grumbled. How he hated time loop…or time travelling…whatever it is called. It was annoying as hell and he didn't like it one bit. He just couldn't wait to have the time go back to its original state.

But how on Earth would he be able to do that?

He literally didn't know. For a guy who knows so much about technology, this one sure stumped him. For one thing, he knows very little about that time device…

And so, he needed a plan. A plan that could stop this villain and the time loop.

And here he was…he was currently in his room trying to think of a way to stop this…nuisance.

Knock, knock

"Yo, Cy! Do you wanna—"

"I TOLD YOU! NO MEANS NO!" Cy raged, being irritated at the fact that he kept on being interrupted. "Now get your green butt out of my door!"

"Sheesh…and I thought Raven was moody." Beast Boy mumbled but chuckled nervously when Raven gave him a glare.

"But what is he doing that he decided that he needs to neglect his friends? Surely we can help him with…whatever the situation is." Star replied.

Raven shrugged and walked up towards the door to knock but it seemed that Cyborg already knew that she was at the door.

"Don't even try!"

Raven shrugged and walked back towards her spot. "Well, I tried." she said. "Clearly, Cyborg doesn't want our help or otherwise he would've come to us by now."

"Raven's right but…" Robin said then paused. "Or maybe we already did helped him out."

Seeing the confused looks, he continued.

"Ever felt that you had done something but just can't seem to remember?"

There were several of "Uh, sure" or nods.

"I have a feeling that something caused us to go at a new…uh transition or whatever you want to call it. It makes us to forget of what we had done."

"So, basically we're just starting a new day. Fresh start. Fresh memories. Fresh day." Beast Boy replied.

"More or less."

"More like a time loop if you ask me." the empath stated.

"But who is responsible for this?" Star quizzed.

"I don't know but whoever did this, I'm guessing we're going to meet him soon." Robin replied.

Right on cue, the infamous alarm blared throughout the Tower. Heavy footsteps were heard and the door of Cyborg's room swung open and it revealed Cy who had madness that gleamed into his eyes.

"OH YEAH! It's show time!"

:(/\):

"Once I plant this in my machine, the whole city will be mine to control!" his eyes gleamed with madness. "Ah! I do love when villains win!"

A sound came in and then it scratched the villain's face, making him drop his device.

He growled, facing at one of his minions. "You! I thought the security was tight!"

"Hate to break it to you but you and your plan is going down." a voice announced.

The shadows that were once on the figures were now removed and it showed the Titans.

"Yeah…uh, anyone else feel the déjà vu vibe here?" Beast Boy remarked.

"Well, if it isn't the Titans. How lovely to see you." he drawled, clearly being annoyed by them.

"We're shutting you down."

The villain laughed, a cold laugh. "You're all talk but can you do action?"

With that, white streaks were shot of his hands towards the group. They all jumped out of the way and Raven came in at the front.

"I'll admit. You're a worthy opponent, Dark One." the enemy spoke as he was battling with Raven. "Too bad you didn't see this coming."

"Wanna bet?" Cy gave a charged yell and then tackled the villain from the side so that the battle cancelled out.

The foe grunted when he struck the floor and slid back a bit.

"Lucky shot. But it's time for you to shut down the lights." he replied.

"Wha?"

Cy gasped when he saw the streaks of power rushing towards him but before the attack could even reach him, Raven came in front of him, being covered entirely in dark magic and a shield was in front of her.

This only made the opponent to make an annoyed growl. Just then, Robin came from behind after leaping in the air in order to perform a move but the villain sensed this and swiftly made a side sweep so that the leader struck the air instead.

Without losing a second, the villain created a round kick which had hit the Boy Wonder and he crashed into a nearby pillar.

As soon as the boy got hit, Beast Boy who was already in a form of a stegosaurs quickly created a half turn so that he could flick his tail to strike the foe which was a successful hit.

"Anyone know how to beat him?" Beast Boy asked the moment he and Starfire joined.

Robin narrowed his eyes before he turned his attention towards the half machine. "Cyborg…you encountered this battle before. What went wrong?"

"I told you. Just as he was about to put the device into the machine, my aim was a little bit off. It struck the object and hence, it created a time loop."

"Do you think if perhaps we destroy the machine it could also destroy the device?" Star suggested.

Cy shook his head. "No, I don't think so. I think the machine can only make specific locations such as right now. It made a specific location to target our and only our city. I'm sure that if we crushed the object into pieces manually, then the whole world could go into a time loop."

"Uh dude…all of this science is making my brain hurt." the green one moaned.

"Too bad you never had a brain." Raven replied, earning a scowl from the green Titan.

The leader narrowed his eyes and examined the machine. For all they knew, it's possible for them to not have much time left.

"Do you think maybe if there is enough…energy and that could just maybe destroy the item?" Robin asked.

"I don't know but I guess we could try." Cyborg replied.

"Good because time's up. The villain is going to strike." Robin stated.

Just as he said that, the foe got up and snatched his fallen object. He then ran towards his machine.

"So long Titans…you have all lost." he cackled.

And then, more of his men came, surrounding them.

"Titans, go!"

"Starfire, I need you to hit the foe!" Cy shouted.

"I am on my way."

The alien flew into the air and raced towards the machine. Halfway through the air, her hands were covered with green starbolts and then she spun around before she brought her hands at the front to emit a large powerful streak that zoomed towards the opponent. Just as the foe was about to place the object into the hole, the green streak struck his arm which made him lose the precious item.

"NO!" he howled.

He began to race towards it by climbing upwards from the machine. However, Cy saw this and just as the villain leaped off the machine, he let out his sonic cannon. The villain didn't grab the device as it was out of his reach and he continued to fall down with eyes wide.

Acting quickly, Robin threw his rope towards the villain so that it tied around him and Raven caught him with her magic. Once he was down, Raven also made sure that her magic had also been tied around him, tightly…just in case.

The blue-white streak struck the item but it made Cy struggle. However, he could feel that it was going to explode…just a bit more push…And then, just like that, the object shattered like broken glass, tinkling down to the ground.

Beast Boy caught the pieces into his hands before he turned his attention towards the mad villain.

"Looks like we caught you."

:(/\):

"Ahhh, it feels good to have time back in normal." Cy replied as he relaxed himself by sitting on the couch with his feet on the table. His arms spread out against the couch.

"Considering that I had never been in a time loop, I can't say." Beast Boy replied, giving a little shrug.

"Please…how did it felt being in a time loop?" Star questioned.

"Uhm, to be honest, Star it's kind of hard to explain but it kind of felt like we were starting the day all over again." the tech guy answered.

"So I see."

"I'm glad that we don't have to fight that villain…again." Raven stated.

"Agreed." he then paused. "You know what, I think this calls for a celebration!"

Everyone including Raven (much to Beast Boy's surprise) agreed. With that, Cy got up from the couch and walked towards the kitchen. However, he had unaware had his foot pull what it looked like a string that was at the bottom.

A sudden ping followed by a swoosh sound came and then without a warning, a loud splat came. Everyone stopped what they were doing and saw Cyborg being covered in an odd brown liquid substance.

Cyborg blinked, taking out the horrible liquid out of his mouth. "Alright, who did it?!" he exclaimed the minute he turned around.

He sharply examined the group until Raven made a laugh.

"Raven?!"

"I had a sudden urge to do it." she smirked, grinning at Cy's dumbfounded face. "And I think that's a…gotcha." she laughed.

Author's Note: …wow, okay. This took me longer than it should whoops…mainly because I was having trouble with it and plus I was studying for my exams which is this week T_T but I didn't like how the actual ending of the villain had went…it was the only thing I could think of. And I admit...it was a bit confusing to write XD Anyways, toodles!
