Chapter 10: Origins of Sakutia
Running fast through the forest of pines trees, was a green cheetah as it jumped over a fallen tree branch that got in its way. The cheetah then morphed into a lion as it came back down and kept on running through the ever ending forest.
The green lion did not know where it was going, the only thing that told it where to go was just the feeling it had inside of its gut. The lion sped up and soon entered a forest of pines with vines coming down off of their branches. The lion jumped up in the air and turned into a green monkey, which it then started to swing from vine to vine, from branch to branch as he kept up the incredible speed. As the monkey approached a clearing in the trees in front of it that led off of a cliff, it did not stop as it took one more vine and swung itself off. Diving down the cliff that was thousands of feet high, the monkey turned into a pterodactyl and nosed dived into the valley, only when it was mere feet from the ground it brought its wings up, that caught it instantly as it quickly took back to the skies.
It did not stop flying high into the sky until it reached a cloud, and then it leveled out and began to soar. Looking down at the landscape it saw a number of green animals running beneath it. Soon it was joined by a flock of birds, then bees, then bats, then dinosaur's that could fly and ect.
Down below the ground moved as the animals moved, as if it were alive or something. Ahead of the green pterodactyl a giant figure came out of the ground that looked like a human. This human was giant and completely green as it opened its eyes to reveal that they were white. Vines hung down its face as it were hair and its body was green boulders, dirt, leaves, trees and ect.
The pterodactyl flew around it and then right before its massive face as the animals crowded around it. The pterodactyl then raised its left eyebrow at the giant creature. "Who are you?" Beast Boy asked as the creature put forth its hand below Beast Boy and opened its palm, allowing him to land and transform back to human.
The creature brought his hand up to his head and his face came down to meet Beast Boy's eyes with his own. "I am the one who is the guardian of the world as you know it." The creature said in a booming voice, "I am the one that gives power to those who are worthy through the animal." He said bringing his face and hand closer, "You are the guardian of Sakutia."
"The virus," Beast Boy questioned, "That can't be right can it?"
"Humans may call it a virus," the creature said gesturing with his other hand to the animals, "But to the animals, it is a gift for them to give to humans that will prove those who are worthy enough to carry it."
Beast Boy began to look around and raised his eyebrows, "Wait a minute, am I dreaming again? I was just walking then before I knew it I was running through the forest in a cheetah form and having the feeling of coming here." Beast Boy said looking up at the great Beast.
The creature then lowered its head so that Beast Boy could see in its eyes. "You are dreaming a dream that is linked to your very soul young one. You are looking at the very essence of Sakutia that dwells inside of you and has become part of you." He said placing Beast Boy on his right shoulder and opened a huge white portal that he walked through. The scenery changed to a having dark clouds and red skies that had a ruined city before it. Beast Boy immediately knew what the city was and looked over at Titans Tower to see Trigon sitting upon it. "The duty of the Guardian is to protect the world from evils such as this." The scene then changed to where Raven was battling her father in her giant form and winning. After she won Beast Boy saw everything change before him as Raven came back down to greet her friends. "This however was the day you were supposed to show your true powers if Raven did not make the choice to come back in time to stop her father. The reason why your friends cannot use their powers is because of the immense power your own mind gives off, putting theirs in a stasis so that they could do no harm to your mind, but if you wanted them to have their powers back, all you needed to do was think it and it would happen."
They reentered the portal and appeared where they were before. "Be ready young one, for you are going to face your deepest fears and confront your nightmares as you draw closer and bring together your emotions. For you shall put the one with so much power in its place and be the Master and not it, do not listen to his false visions of power and strength, for they are the ones that will send you down the wrong path and not become the man you were supposed to be." Sakutia said placing Beast Boy on the ground.
Beast Boy look up at the giant figure and frowned, "Wait," he said putting up his hands, "I'm more animal then I am man." He said looking up at the creature.
Sakutia only smiled and placed his right index finger on Beast Boys head. "An animal is a creature that has the sense of being superior to others and letting them all know that. Were as does not need to show that he is superior by showing how strong he is or how smart he is. A man is someone who knows what to do and what is the right thing to do and does not let his pride get the better of him." The creature known as Sakutia said as he began to give off a white light. "Be the better man and become the Master of Beasts and not the servant my young pupil."
Beast Boys eyes started to open as the sun began to pour into them, causing him to grunt and cover his eyes with left arm. Beast Boy then saw 8 figures around him as they watched him get up. He looked around and saw that he was in a grassy field and that his friends and emotions were around him. With Slade tied up in the back giving him a look with his eye that he couldn't tell what meant.
Raven kneeled down by him and places her right hand on his left shoulder. "Are you alright?" she asked in her monotone voice, with a hint of worry, "We were just walking then all of sudden you just collapse. What happened to you to do that?" she asked in a small soft voice.
Beast Boy just grinned as his tooth poked out, "Oh you know, you just all stunk so bad that my brilliant nose couldn't take it anymore, so I passed out."
Raven glared at him with all worry leaving her as she sent him the glares of all glares at him. "That's not very funny Garfield." She said squeezing his shoulder.
"Since when did you call him Garfield?" Robin asked raising his left eye brow.
"Since his pranks have become more serious lately," Raven said still glaring at him, "And he should know when we get back to the Tower he's in big trouble." She said standing up with her cloak wrapped around her and her hood down.
"The good type of trouble or the bad type trouble?" Beast Boy said smiling while he teased her.
"Please Raven," Starfire came up close to her friend who was still staring at Beast Boy, "Do not hurt friend Beast Boy. I do not wish to see my friend in any pain." Starfire said with big eyes.
"The good pain or the bad pain," Beast Boy said causing Raven to blush and Starfire to have a confused look on her face, "Cause I think I rather prefer the good pain." He said picking himself up.
"Ok man enough of confusing Starfire for now," Cyborg said raising his hands slightly, "Just tell us what happened to you." He placed his right hand on his buddy's right shoulder.
"Long story short, I went inside my soul, found a guy named Sakutia. You know the virus that gave me my powers and pretty much found out the origin and what this virus or gift is supposed to do." Beast Boy said with a smile.
The emotions gasped as they heard their Master speak of seeing the great and powerful Sakutia. They began to murmur about it that caused the others to look at them. Knowledge stepped forward to address what a great thing this was and what it meant. "Seeing the Sakutia," Knowledge said looking at them. "Is a great honor and privilege to be in his presence. He is the whole reason behind Beast Boy's powers of how they develop and such. He is the ultimate Shape Shifter and when he picks a pupil, that pupil will also become great. So far in history there has only been one and that one is you Master." Knowledge finished smiling.
"Wait," Robin said raising his hands in front of his face, "You're telling me that Sakutia isn't a virus, but a person. Doesn't that mean he's living inside of Beast Boy."
"He is linked to Beast Boy, the Master," Wisdom said cutting in, "Beast Boy has the same powers as he does because he gave it to him as a gift of worthiness. It's like how those Green Lantern's are picked, except you have to have multiple qualities to be accepted to have Sakutia with you."
"Lantern's are picked of Will," Cyborg said looking at Beast Boy, "What is Beast Boy picked of then." The others looked at their friend and began to wonder about it.
"Happiness," Happy said causing them to look at him.
"Timidity, because you need to be careful about the situation, but show no fear," Timid said causing them to look at him and Happy, then at the others.
"Wisdom is required," Wisdom stated.
"And that of Knowledge as well," Knowledge finished, "Along with Bravery, Rage, Love, Superiority, Instinct and other emotions as well with qualities to them."
Beast Boy looked at his friends who were staring at him looking for him to answer or have a question. But something caught his eye as he saw a dark green werebeast running towards them with a red version of himself on his right shoulder and a giant green bird with a purple shade to it, coming towards them, with a beastly version of himself on its back.
Knowledge looked over to look at what he was looking at and gasped. Wisdom turned around and his eyes went wide. "Well," he said, "As if you saying their names Knowledge, they are right on cue." He said putting his arms behind his back and holding his left hand with his right.
AN: Well this wasn't hard to type up, I might have made a few errors, but I don't think there really that noticeable, but if they are tell me so I can fix them and also this will probably be the last time a update in a little while, like TOMARROW! Ha just kidding I really don't know when I'll update next, but when I do I make a romantic scene for you fellow BB/Rae fans out there!
Any way I'm just wondering what you guys think Beast Boy's powers should be limited to or if they should be limitless. You have to think, being a Shaper Shifter and all, even though you can only turn into animals, there are powerful animals that live today and like a million years ago that we know about and don't know about. That's why I made up a few, because there could have been giant creatures that lived long ago, bigger than the Sauropods (Long necks for you who don't know what Sauropods are).
Hope to see you guys again and please Review. It makes this story and myself look good when you guys review, but please keep it PG if you can
