Raven looked at Kat, raising an eyebrow at the nickname, and said, "I just can't believe that Shadow would do this."

"I thought you weren't the type to trust people so easily," Kat quirked an eyebrow, "Why are you suddenly defending this Shadow guy?"

"He saved those people from that Polar Bear Beast Spirit the other day and I think he helped us against Overload too."

"What makes you so sure?"

"His aura was around the hydrant that he used to blast Overload with."

Kat closed her eyes and put a cigarette into her mouth. She lit it with her finger and blew out a puff of smoke. "So? As far as I'm concerned he hurt my otouto-chan and I won't rest till I find him and give him a piece of my mind." She then noticed Robin looking at her. "What?"

"What is it you want, Mr. Slade?" Shadow asked, keeping his agitation in check.

"Nothing much," Slade shrugged. "I just thought we could help each other."

"Not interested."

"Well then, I can wait. I'll see you soon, Shadow," Slade said before he disappeared into the darkness as if he was never there. A card fell to Shadow's feet. He picked it up. He was tempted to tear it to pieces upon seeing what was written but pocketed it instead.

This game was going to be quite interesting…

The Titans arrived back at the Tower and to their surprise saw Beast Boy in his dog form curled up on the couch and whimpering sadly.

"Hey, what happened?" Kat asked the changeling. "What happened with your date?"

Beast Boy turned back to his human form and said, "Terra…she remembers…"

(Somewhere in Japan…)

The Bat Beast Spirit was shot repeatedly in the chest and fell against the cavern walls. A card then stuck to its chest and sucked it in, sealing it. The card then flew back into its owner's hand. The card was marked Scope Bat.

The owner's visage was barely visible within the darkness of the cave. What was, however, evident were his two glowing white eyes. He then said, "Next stop, America." This had been spoken in Japanese.

A/N: Until Shadow actually reveals his real name, I'll refer to him as Shadow even in human form.

Episode 10: Steel

"REFLECT!" The sonic energy beam slammed into the shield before bouncing back into Cyborg.

"Woah!" Cyborg shouted as he got slammed by his own attack.

Kat de-transformed and smirked, hands on her hips. She walked over to Cyborg and helped him up. She said, "Thanks for helping me train, Tin-Man."

"No prob, Kat," Cyborg smiled at her, cheeks red. "Geez, that card packed a punch."

"I know," Kat said simply as she gazed at the Reflect Moth card. "It should help out next time I face Shadow."

Cyborg dusted off his armor. Both he and Kat were in the sparring ring of the training room, Leo was resting in the infirmary, Starfire and Raven were both keeping the Knight of Seiryu company while Robin did a search on Shadow, Beast Boy was hold up in his room depressed.

"So, this guy beat the two of you?' Cyborg asked as he threw a towel to Kat. Kat caught it and wiped the sweat off her face.

"Yeah, it was weird," she answered. "Being a turtle Knight he was sure quick on his feet and his moves were unbelievable. He also took control of my Vine."

"Could this be the same guy that helped us beat Overload?" Cyborg questioned.

"I got no doubt about it. Shadow could control water," Kat said as she remembered how Shadow had used a water hose on her fire blast. "Controlling my Vine also means he can control plants too. This means he has mastered the powers of his Category Ace."

"Say what?" Cyborg didn't understand what she had meant.

"Cyborg, I've explained it before that the side effect of fusion with a Category Ace Beast Spirit is gaining its power and the ability to use it even in human form. My Category Ace of Hearts, Suzaku, was capable of generating and controlling fire and ice. My otouto-chan's Category Ace of Spades, Seiryu, had the ability to control air and generating electricity. The Category Ace of Clubs, Genbu, could control water and plants. Finally, the Category Ace of Diamonds, Byakko, had control over metal and earth. According to the old legend, these powers made the Category Ace Beast Spirits the best fighters over all the other Beast Spirits, got it?" She told Cyborg. "Since we've fused with them, we gain their abilities and fighting styles."

Cyborg nodded at Kat lengthy explanation. He then realized something and asked, "Wait, Byakko?"

"The Knight of Byakko," Kat said. "He's back in Japan sealing the Beast Spirits there while my otouto-chan and I are here doing the same thing. He's alone but he's capable of doing the job."

"You know who he is?" Cyborg asked hopefully.

Kat laughed a bit before answering abruptly, "No." This caused Cyborg to fall flat on his face. "We've never seen him without his armor and he's never given us his real name. Even if we did see him in human form, unless he acknowledges us, we won't even know it's him."

Cyborg got up and counted with his fingers, "So you don't know the identities of two Knights, right?" Kat nodded. "But you do know one is bad news, right?"

"As far as I'm concerned, when I see Shadow again he's going to meet my blade," Kat promised, eyes narrowed and punching a fist into her palm.

Cyborg looked concerned. He was also concerned about Leo who was still sleeping and was even more concerned about Beast Boy who locked himself in his own room.

Kat then decided to ask, "Hey, before Beast Boy ran off and locked himself in his room, he said that Tara remembered? What did he mean?"

Cyborg froze. He looked at Kat with horrified eyes. She then added, curiously, "What, was it something I said?"

"It's…complicated," Cyborg said, turning away from the Knight of Suzaku's gaze.

"Listen, if this is something important I'd like to be kept in the loop," Kat said firmly, fists clutched. "I'm a Titan too, right? Honorary or not I need to know." She asked, "What is Beast Boy's deal with Tara? Why is he so interested in her? Why?"

Cyborg sighed. He said to her, eyes looking into hers, "I shouldn't be telling you this, Robin will blow a fuse."

"It's that big of a deal, huh?"

"More than you will ever know." With that, Cyborg began his story, "It all started 3 years ago when…"

Robin was at the computer looking over news reports. According to Kat, Shadow could control both water and plants so he was looking at any strange occurrences lately that would lead them to Shadow. Aside from the busted fire hydrant used to blast Overload with and when Shadow had saved those people and Raven from the Polar Bear Beast Spirit, so far he had nothing.

He rubbed his temple. Leo was resting in the infirmary and was OK thanks to Kat's Recover Camel card. The Rouge Cards and Beast Spirits were also a part of Robin's headache. Just what were they really? Kat and Leo had told him everything they knew but it wasn't the complete story. All he knew that it involved some archeologists and a cavern full of stone tablets.

He ran a search on any similar archeological excavations but he didn't get anything. It was like there never was one, but Kat and Leo said there was and that was released the Beast Spirits into the world. What was the secret corporation's name that Kat refused to tell him?

A cup of coffee was placed next to him and Robin turned to see Starfire. She said, "I thought you may have wanted this to keep you awake, Robin." Her voice was full of concern.

"Thanks, Starfire," he smiled at her and she smiled back. He took a sip of coffee as he continued his research. He then asked, "How's Leo?"

"He is sleeping like a little bumgorf," Starfire answered with a sigh before she asked, "What are you doing, Robin?"

"Research," Robin answered simply before elaborating, "I know Kat and Leo told us they couldn't reveal the name of the corporation that funded that archeological excavation, but I still want to know more about what these Beast Spirits are about and this whole deal with Advent Knights. I've searched and searched and so far got nothing."

Starfire took his hand and led him to the couch. She said in a soothing voice, "Please, Robin, you need to relax. Getting stressed over this will not help the answers come sooner."

"Then what should we do?" Robin said in a slightly irritated tone. "Wait? I can't do that, Star. People are getting hurt and I need to find those answers. Kat and Leo either don't seem to have them or don't want to give them away."

Starfire kissed his cheek and leaned on his shoulder. "Soon they will trust us enough to tell us. Until then, what else can we do when the answers are not on the Internet?"

"I guess you're right," Robin said before he smirked. "In the meantime, wanna help me 'relax'?"

Starfire looked at him and her face broke out in a big grin. Starfire lay over on top of him and kissed him full on the lips.

Boy, these two should get a room.

Raven was in the infirmary, looking after Leo. She sat on a chair and gazed at the sleeping form of the Knights of Seiryu. On a nearby table were Leo's Seiryu Buckle and Change Seiryu card. The two objects radiated with magical energies, which was not so strange since the Beast Spirits and the Rouge Cards were created via ancient magic.

Shadow…could he have really done this to Leo? If so, then what? Why was she defending him? She wasn't really the type to trust people so easily.

Shadow had helped them against Overload and also saved all those people that were attacked by the Polar Bear Beast Spirit. For someone like her blind trust was uncommon but there was something about Shadow that felt…familiar.

Shadow was after something and it was Leo and Kat's other cards, she knew that much. But why? Didn't he have his own set of cards? What was the big deal about these Rouge Cards other than them being used to seal Beast Spirits? What secrets did they hide?

Raven calmed herself and meditated for a bit, trying to find her centre.

'Shadow, who are you?'

Raven looked at Leo and immediately started thinking about his twin sister, Kat. She didn't exactly hate the Knight of Suzaku, but she didn't trust her either. There was something about Kat's secretive attitude that irked her. The phrases that Kat said like, "You've never asked" or "It's a secret" annoyed not just her but Robin.

Either Kat didn't have the information or was purposely withholding it. In any case, Raven would try to get those answers by force if need be.

Beast Boy was in Terra's old room, in dog form and curled up on the bed. He whimpered sadly. When the Titans had asked him what was wrong he made a dash towards Terra's room and locked himself inside.

'She remembers, she has to!' he thought in his mind. The date he had with Tara had been good thus far until Kat and Leo served the pie from Ben's. Tara shouldn't have known about the pie at Ben's unless she'd been there but the last time they saw each other she swore she hated to travel around.

Was she lying? Did she remember? Was she Terra?

He had tears in his eyes when he called out to the blonde schoolgirl after she ran out the door. When he went after her, she just vanished. He also saw tears in her eyes and he knew that going after her would just make it worse.

But what was he to do? He loved her so much. Yes, Beast Boy was in love with Terra. Even after she betrayed the Titans and tried to destroy them, even after she sacrificed herself to save the city and was turned to stone, even after she came back as a schoolgirl…he still loved her.

Lying next to him was the heart-shaped jewelry box he had given her. He got a little crazy with the glue gun and the wrapping paper but she had loved it. Then, the night he asked her out he found out the truth and he turned on her. She had betrayed them, yes, but he also knew that she didn't want to.

He blamed Slade for awhile after that, wanting him dead even after they knew he was. His return when he came to tell Raven about the Prophecy gave Beast Boy the chance of vengeance. Sure, he got his butt kicked but he still wanted a piece of him. Even with their shaky truce during 'The End', when it was over Beast Boy would be all over the madman.

He knew Slade had done something to Terra to have her not remember the Titans. But…she did remember? How did she get free? Why didn't she want to remember? Why?

Didn't she love him?

Beast Boy cried. He had stopped blaming Slade a long time ago. It was, in his heart, his own fault. He didn't try hard enough to find her when she ran away the first time, didn't stand by her the night she betrayed them since he knew she wanted to save him…it was all his fault.

And he couldn't stop blaming himself.

There was a knock on the door and Beast Boy reverted to human form. Wiping the tears away, he yelled, "Go away!" It was probably his friends trying to get him to come out to talk.

The knocking was getting louder and Beast Boy repeated, "I said go away!"

The voice on the other side was not of the other Titans, but of one honorary one. It was Kat, "Greenie, I swear that, on the count of three, if you don't open this door I'll either blow it up or freeze it over and break through to get in! And this isn't a threat! It's a promise!"

Beast Boy, despite his depressed mood, gulped. He had seen Kat fight and how relentless she could be at times. Plus, she was handy with a bow and arrow. He whimpered imagining her chasing after him with a bow and arrow ready to shoot.

He muttered dejectedly, "I'm coming," and walked over to the door. It slid open and leaning against the doorway with a tub of ice cream in her hands, was the unarmored Knight of Suzaku. He asked, "What do you want, Kat?"

"I was wondering…" she sighed. Aside from her brother she was not good with all this sentimental stuff, "You need a friend to talk to?"

Beast Boy smiled slightly. Maybe he did need to talk. Kat didn't know anything about Terra, as far as he was concerned, so he could speak to her without her having a biased opinion on the geokinetic girl. "Sure," he said. "Come on in."

"Nice room," Kat said as she admired it. She had come to get some answers from Beast Boy himself. It was the only way she could set her plan into motion soon. "I've also got a tub of ice cream here and I think we can talk over it." She grinned, "It's 'Rocky Road'."

Beast Boy smiled, "Sure."

(Murakami High-The Next Day…)

Tara Markov was truly and utterly depressed. Why? Well, before we answer that question, let's see what she's been through first, shall we?

Last night, she went on a date with Beast Boy…Garfield Logan and had a great time. Well, it was good until they had the pie and he asked, "How'd you know about Ben's?"

'Curse the damn delicious pie of Ben's Diner!'

She then, without saying a thing and with a horrified expression, ran out of the restaurant. He ran after her, calling after her, but she ran as fast as she could away from his disappearing from his sight.

'He probably hates me now.'

She got back to her dorm room and cried herself to sleep. Tonight had been wonderful. Why did he have to ask that? Why did she have to remember?

'Why did I even agree to go out with him?'

At school, she couldn't focus in any of her classes. Because of last night, she had forgotten about her homework and had gotten in trouble with the teacher. She couldn't pay attention, she was just too depressed.

She did, however, notice Kat staring at her all day (they had all the same classes together) and that Leo was absent. Kat had said that he was sick and was resting back at home.

It was lunch time. Rejoice!

She sat with her best friends, Stephanie and Melissa. Melissa, concerned, asked, "Hey, what's wrong, Tara?"

"Oh, nothing," Tara lied, putting on a fake smile. "Why'd you ask?"

"You seemed a bit out of it today."

"Oh, I'm just a bit tired, that's all."

Stephanie and Melissa grinned. Stephanie asked, "So, how was your date last night with that green kid?"

Tara grimaced. She knew that, as her girl friends, they wanted to know all the juicy details of their girl friend's date. She answered, looking away, "It was…okay…"

The two friends were not satisfied and were worried of the way Tara looked. Kat then walked by, not looking too happy.

"Hey, Kat," Stephanie greeted.

"Hi," Melissa greeted as well.

"Hello you two," Kat greeted them, nodding to acknowledge them. She then gave Tara a stern look, "Tara, can you come with me? We need to speak…in private." Tara gulped a bit, looking at Kat's dangerously stern blue eyes.

"S-sure," she stuttered a bit as she got up. "See you guys later."

"Yeah, see ya," Melissa said.

Kat and Tara walked out of the cafeteria and Stephanie asked, "What do you think that was about?" Melissa shrugged.

Outside the cafeteria, in the hallway, Kat faced Tara with her arms crossed as the blonde girl flipped her hair over her shoulder nervously. "So…what do you want to talk about?"

"You can cut the act, Terra," Kat said, pronouncing Tara's old codename. It was the tone of voice that made Tara cringe.

"Wh-What are you talking about?" Tara asked, trying to feign ignorance. Kat reached into her pocket and pulled out a T-Com. Tara's bright blue eyes widened. "You're a-"

Kat interrupted, "A Teen Titan, an honorary one at least." Kat pocketed the communicator. "So, ready to talk?"

"About…about what?" Tara asked. Still trying to look innocent.

"I hate to have to do this, Tara. But you leave me no choice." Kat stepped back away from Tara before she reached into her pocket and threw it. It was a small stone. "HEADS UP!"

Tara yelped and held up her hands, a familiar yellow glow she had tried to suppress coming from her hands. The stone stopped in mid-air. Kat grinned victoriously. "Thought so."

"Why did you do that?" Tara demanded angrily. "You could have hurt me!"

"I doubt that," Kat said as she walked towards Tara. "You do remember, everything, don't you?"

Tara sighed. There was no way she could weasel her way out of this. Her head facing down, she answered, "Yes."

"Why'd you lie?" Kat asked, not in an accusing way but in a gentle way.

"I just…I don't know," Tara held her arm. "After I got out, I knew that no matter what the Titans would not want me back. So, I got into town and did some odd jobs to get money. When I saw that Murakami High just opened and was looking for students, I jumped in. I forged some signatures, hacked into their computers and made some stuff up. It was easy with Slade's training since he taught me everything I know." Kat raised her eyebrow when Tara mentioned Slade. Tara continued with her confession, "As far as the school is concerned, I'm a girl whose Russian parents sent me here for school. I had the accent, but I got so used to America that it changed so I spoke like a normal American."

"You just wanted normalcy?"

"Yes, away from the superheroes and villains. I don't have to use my powers to fight anymore and that way I could live as a civilian. I'm perfectly happy."

"That's a lie," Kat said harshly. Tara looked up at her.

"What?"

"That's a lie and you know it. You're not normal and you'll never be normal, Tara," Kat said, a little harshly.

"You don't understand," Tara said with fists gripped. "You don't understand what I've been through!"

Kat shook her head, "True, I don't. But I do know that you're not really happy with this life, despite what you say."

"What makes you say that?" Tara asked, challenging.

"Greenie's not with you."

Tara fell silent. Kat was right. How could Tara be truly happy without Beast Boy? She sighed. "Okay, I've told you everything, now tell me how you became an honorary Titan."

Kat smiled and sighed, "It's a long and confusing story, Tara."

"I've got time."

"Alright, it all started a few days ago when my otouto-chan…" Kat began as Tara listened.

The auburn haired Knight of Seiryu's emerald eyes fluttered open. He yawned and covered his mouth He remembered his okaasan saying, "Cover your mouth when you yawn less you want the devil to enter your mouth." It sounded like nonsense, but Leo took his mother's advice to heart.

He looked around and blinked. "This isn't my room."

"I see you're awake, sleeping beauty." Leo turned to see Cyborg there at the door of the Tower infirmary with a plate of food.

"Konnichiwa, Cyborg-san," Leo said politely to the bionic African American teen. "Where am I and what time is it?"

"You're in the Tower infirmary," Cyborg told him as he gave him the plate. On it was a tuna sandwich. "Your sister said you liked tuna fish."

"Arigatou," Leo smiled and picked up the sandwich. "Itidakimasu!" he took a bite.

"And for what time it is…" Cyborg said, pausing, "It's 12:45."

Leo's eyes widened as he spat out the food in his mouth. He coughed, beating his chest, before exclaiming, "NANI!?" He panicked, "Oh no! Oh no! I'm late!"

"Relax!" Cyborg placed his hands on the young Knight's shoulders. "Your sister's covering for you. She told the teachers you were sick."

"But…"

"Just relax," Cyborg repeated, more firmly.

"Hai," Leo nodded and calmed down before taking another bite of the sandwich. He then asked, "What happened last night?"

Cyborg answered, "You were fighting that Shadow guy, according to Kat, and got poisoned."

"Poisoned?"

"Yep, but your sis used a card and saved your life."

"She did? May Kami-sama bless her then."

Cyborg wondered and asked, "You're really close to your sister, aren't ya?"

"I am. She's family," Leo answered honestly with a smile. "Why'd you ask?"

Cyborg blushed a bit and answered, flustered, "Oh, no reason!" Leo raised an eyebrow at this. He took a sip of water from a glass on the table and put it back down. Leo knew there was something up, but he would not pry out of politeness. He then looked worried. His expression did not go unnoticed by Cyborg.

"What's wrong?" Cyborg asked.

"Shadow defeated my onee-chan, didn't he?"

"I guess." Cyborg shrugged.

"That's bad. My onee-chan doesn't take losing well. If I know her, she will hunt him down to seek satisfaction."

"You mean like a rematch?"

"Hai, and trust my words that she won't rest until she beats him."

Cyborg, as he had spared with Kat, already knew that. She had gone all out. If that was what she was like sparring, who knows what she was like in a real fight?

Starfire, Robin, Beast Boy and Raven walked in. Starfire squealed in glee, "Oh, my friend! You are awake!" She then flew towards him and gave him a hug.

CRUNCH!

"Urk!" Leo's eyes popped open.

Robin said, "I think you should stop hugging him, Star. He might pass out again."

Starfire let go as she stepped away from Leo. Leo dropped back on the pillow, his back sore. "My apologies, friend," Starfire said sincerely.

"That's alright, Starfire-san," Leo groaned a bit as he lay still in bed. He summoned his cards and looked through them. The other Titans watched as he occupied himself.

The cards he had so far were as followed

The Category Ace of Spades: Change Seiryu. This was his transformation card.

The Category 2 of Spades: Slash Lizard. This card increased the slashing power of his sword.

The Category 3 of Spades: Beat Lion. This card increased the power of his forward punches.

The Category 4 of Spades: Tackle Boar. This card increased the power of his tackles.

The Category 5 of Spades: Kick Locust. This card increased the power of his flying kicks.

The Category 6 of Spades: Thunder Deer. This card added electrical element to attacks and increased his already acquired electrical powers

Finally the Category 9 of Spades: Mach Cheetah. This card increases his speed. Well, it would have but he hadn't tested it yet.

7 cards so far. Just 7 cards after all this time.

He sighed.

"Nice cards," Beast Boy commented as he walked over to the young Knight. Leo smiled. Maybe he didn't have to be so bored stuck in bed. Leo then pointed at one and said, "This one's one of my favorites. Let me tell you how I got it."

After the talk she had with Kat, Tara still couldn't get it out of her head.

Kat knew.

Kat was a Titan.

What if she told the other Titans?

Kat had given Tara her word that she wouldn't tell the other Titans, but could she trust her?

It was nearly the end of the school day. It was Friday so she could rest her mind during the weekend. The clock struck 3:00. The bell rang. School was out.

Well, not for all.

Kat miserably walked into detention. The teacher that would look after them, unfortunately, was Mr. Steve Barkin.

Oh, the joy.

"Greetings, Hasuma," Mr. Barkin said gruffly. "Now, shut up and sit down for the next two hours."

Oh, Kat had the urge to blast this guy, or freeze him, either way it would be sweet. She sat down, crossed her arms, and would remain bored for the rest of the day.

She envied her brother now who was at the Tower sleeping. She wished she was there right now.

She was going to be really bored…Really, really, bored.

Damn detention, damn Barkin.

"Chikusho!"

"What was that, Hasuma?" Barkin demanded.

The taxi stopped in front of a restaurant. It was Café La Salle. The passenger paid the fare and got out of the cab, carrying his luggage. He had only one suitcase. His blue eyes scanned the piece of paper he was holding in front of him. He smiled.

"Café…La Salle…" he checked the sign board above the door. "Yep, this is the place." He walked in and was welcomed by both Tom and Sheila.

"Welcome to Café La Salle," Tom greeted.

"Please, sit down," Sheila offered.

He sat down at a table, was given a menu by Sheila and read through it. He was hungry, and was going to have his lunch.

In a church, a young man dressed in all black sat on the right side bench in the far front. His black trench coat covered his entire form as he fingered the silver crucifix that was hanging around his neck via a golden chain.

He gazed upon the beautiful stained glass windows and large crucifix with the crucified statue of Jesus on it. He sighed again and let out a silent prayer.

A priest walked up to him and asked. "What is wrong, my son?"

The youth with shoulder length black hair and sunglasses looked up to be priest, "Father, I think I have sinned."

"The Lord is always forgiving to his children. Please, tell me."

Should he? Maybe it would be the right thing to do. Of course, even if it was sin, he had to lie. The real story would be far too unbelievable. Maybe he could omit a few things. Holding onto the small silver cross in his hand, he told the priest of his sins.

Leo was still in bed. He had taken a shower and was reading a book. Suddenly, his cell phone beeped. He picked it up and his eyes widened.

"Nani?"

At the same time, the alarm blared.

Kat was in the middle of detention and was bored out of her mind. Barkin was watching her like a hawk. Suddenly, her cell phone beeped. She took it out and inspected the screen. Her blue eyes went wide.

"Hasuma, turn off that phone!" Barkin yelled.

"Sorry, Mr. Barkin!" Kat yelled as she ran for the door, "I have to go! Emergency!"

The young man with the spiked up brown hair was eating a plate of spaghetti when his phone beeped. He out down the spoon and fork and took it out of the front pocket of his denim jacket. He flipped it open and his eyes widened. He placed the money on the table, wiped his mouth with the napkin and rushed out.

Tom yelled, "Sir, you forgot your suitcase!"

The priest listened to him as he told his story, nodding occasionally. Suddenly, a beeping sound invaded his ears.

"Forgive me, Father," the young man said. He looked at the phone and his eyes widened but no one could tell for they were hidden by his bangs and sunglasses. He hastily got up. "Forgive me, Father, I have urgent business to attend to."

The priest nodded and blessed the black clad young man as he rushed to the doors and rushed out.

The mall was in chaos. People ran around in panic. What was happening here?

Beast Spirits, that's what.

And there were three of them.

One looked like a humanoid zebra and carrying a large pronged handheld weapon with sharp blades, another looked like a brown humanoid dragonfly and the last looked like a humanoid mole. They were attacking anyone they could get their hands on. Suddenly, a red birdarang slammed into the head of the Dragonfly Beast Spirit who had a person in its grasp. It let go of its would be victim and glared at the one who dared to attack it. The other Beast Spirits turned to look as well.

5 teenagers stood in front of them standing defiantly.

The Teen Titans.

Robin grinned and then commanded, "TITANS! GO!"

The Titans charged and so did the Beast Spirits. Suddenly, all movement halted when a gunshot was heard. Robin whirled his head around for the source of the sound.

He found it.

Walking towards them and holding a strange looking ornate gun, which was modeled after a tiger, was another Advent Knight.

Another Advent Knight?

Yes, another Advent Knight.

The Advent Knight in question was clad in white armor with black tiger stripes on his chestplate and back. His diamond shaped shoulder guards pointed upwards. There was a diamond symbol on his belt buckle and another one on his chestplate. The bodysuit under the armor was black with white metal plating on his gauntlets and boots. His helmet, which was white as well, had a pair of sharp black extensions on top of the white eyepieces to emulate tiger ears and black tiger stripes running down the middle of his faceplate and the back of his helmet. He then struck a pose.

"FEAR NOT, FOR THE ADVENT KNIGHT OF BYAKKO IS HERE! CALL ME…" he paused for dramatic effect, "…PLUTO!"

The Titans had no idea how to react. The Beast Spirits then turned their attention towards the Advent Knight, shrugged, and attacked him instead.

He cracked his neck and said, "This is gonna be fun." He aimed his gun and fired.

A/N: Finally! The 4th Advent Knight has arrived. Want to know why he's called the Steel Tiger? Just watch!

Preview of the next chap: The Titans, with the help of Pluto, are fighting the deadly trio of Beast Spirits. Joining in the battle are none other than Shadow and Mimic. Wait, where's Leo and why are the Knights fighting each other?
