Teen Titans Season 6
Episode 10: Revenge
Titans Tower
Beast Boy was walking down the hallway with a smile on his face. He then stops when he sees Starfire entering the safe room (The same one they put Raven inside during the Trigon incident). Just then the other Titans minus Cyborg and Raven shows up seeing Starfire leaving the room and coming back again.
"Please tell me this is not another getting married thing.", Robin mutters.
"No, not this time.", Starfire said.
"Then what is?", Beast Boy asks.
"I'll explain once everything is prepared. Where is Raven and Cyborg?", Starfire asks noticing two members are missing.
"They both went to Impel Down to increase the security on Papillon.", Robin explains.
Impel Down
The prison guards store the cocoon Papillon is in and place it in a special cell. After placing it gently Cyborg and Raven did their work. Cyborg place a force field around the device that keeps Papillon in his hibernation state, while Raven cast a spell inside the cell in order to prevent any use a magic.
"Thanks for increasing the security on him.", the chief guard said. "Even without the horn he is still dangerous. I hate to see him running amok."
"Don't worry. As long as no one removes the hibernator Papillon will stay in hibernation forever. Until the Human Alliance expand their own prison.", Cyborg said shaking the chief's hand.
Elsewhere in the prison...
Dr. Arthur Light was not a man to be messed with, to say the least, at least not right now. He would not enjoy being bothered when he was just getting his head back on his shoulders.
He felt like he hadn't been himself, not for a long, long time. It was almost like he couldn't control his emotions or actions.
But not now. His head was becoming clearer every second and he could now control himself with clarity. Who would have known that it would have been the Titans that caused this understanding?
He had hit his head while fighting him, and now alone in his jail cell he understood what he was. Who he was.
Before this life he was Dr. Arthur Light. He had been a genius in his scientific field, and because of this he decided to take advantage of his brains and talent. He came to the side of evil simply because it was the most convenient and the easiest to understand to him. Besides, the dark side had a better pay check.
He had been this close to destroying the Justice League when the team of heroes had decided to regain their footing and beat him at his own game. They had turned his technologies against him, and they had blinded him.
They then tore apart his brain, forcing him to have the confidence of a teenage girl and robbing him of some of his intelligence. The Justice League then transported him to Jump City where they had left him to be a plaything to the Teen Titans, their proteges. They had thought that he would be easy to defeat, and they were right.
The Justice League wanted the Teen Titans to defeat someone, even if he was insignificant and small. They had underestimated the Titans at their earliest and had thought that they weren't going to be anything good, which over time had proved false.
But all of that was gone now. Dr. Light was slowly regaining what he had lost thanks to the Justice League and he wanted revenge. He wanted it so badly that he could feel the need flooding his veins.
But he didn't want it from the Justice League. Oh no. Destroying them at their core wouldn't be enough. He wanted to badly shaken them, and then come for them next.
He would destroy the Titans. But he couldn't do it now. Oh no, they were too good now. But if he could go back in time, where they were weaker, slower, and younger, then things would be easier. Far easier.
And so the calculating part of his brain, a part that for far too long was cold, began thinking and tinkering with his plan.
Later in Titans Tower...
Cyborg and Raven return to meet up with the others to hear what Starfire have to say.
"I'm entering a metamorphosis.", Starfire said.
"You mean like last time?", Robin asks. "Like when you learned your optical blasts?"
"Yes, but this is different from the previous one. Starting at midnight I reach the adult age of a Tamaranean.", Starfire explains.
"But why are you moving to the safe room?", Beast Boy asks.
"Last time Robin had difficulty breaking my cocoon during my last transformation. This was because my transformation at the time was small and minor. This metamorphosis normally takes a week or two for normal Tamaraneans, but in me and my sister's case require at least an year.", Starfire explains, which shocks everyone.
"Wait, your going to be in that cocoon for a year?", Cyborg said in shock. "What's so different from you and your sister to the other Tamaraneans?"
"Well you see me and my sister were once kidnapped by a group of alien scientists known as the Psions. They experimented on our bodies making us stronger and giving us the abilities to use our starbolts.", Starfire explains.
"How did you even know all about this?", Robin asks.
"Remember my wedding?", Starfire asks which the other Titans shiver. "Before we left I went to my sister's room and discovered research notes on us from the Psions. I also learned there is a faster way to do my metamorphosis."
"What's that?", Raven asks.
"By trading in my cocoon's hardness I can finish my metamorphosis in just two days, however it also means that I'll be vulnerable. One attack on my cocoon will instantly kill me, like how it does to the insects.", Starfire said shocking everyone.
"So that's why you're moving to the safe room. It's the safest place in the tower.", Robin calculated. "Not only that the villains will have to get past our security and us to get to the room."
"That's right. Once I'm out of the cocoon, I'll be at my strongest.", Starfire explains.
Robin walks to her and the two kiss. "I'll be waiting in two days.", Robin said. Starfire nods and enters the safe room to begin her transformation.
Back in Impel Down...
Dr. Light with eyes close clutch his fist. Eventually both his hands generates light energy. Dr. Light open hie eyes and makes a sinister grin. Dr. Light fires a blast to the wall creating a hole. He then flies out of prison, before the guards could do anything.
"Now time for a change in uniform.", Dr. Light said as he sees a tailor shop.
Somewhere in Belle Reve Penitentiary...
Both Mallah and Brain were in their cell after the Brotherhood of Evil were taken in to the prison by the Doom Patrol. Brain was using a holographic screen doing some research. Mallah looks and see that the Brain was doing some research on Dr. Light.
"Master, why are you researching on this poor excuse of a villain?", Mallah asks.
"I thought so too, but recently I discovered his name filed inside the Justice League database and found out everything about him. If he was with us during the fight in Paris we would have won.", Brain deduced.
Elsewhere in the women's side of the prison...
Madame Rouge lies on her bed, until a guard walks in.
"You got a visitor.", the guard said escorting Rouge to the visiting room. Rouge enters the room and sees a young replica of her. The two then hug.
Back in Jump City...
Dr. Light observes his new costume around several mirrors. (His costume is the same as his before New 52 comic counterpart, including the cape.)
"Nicely made, with the right materials.", Dr. Light said impressed with his new costume. He then turns to the tailor. "You have now served your purpose." He charges his fist in energy as he walks to the tailor in a threatening manner. "Allow me to repay you in a painful way."
Titans Tower Living Room...
Beast Boy and Cyborg were playing video games while at the same time talking about Starfire. Raven was reading her book, while Robin was updating his criminal database as most of the including some of the stupid ones are becoming dangerous even crossing the line.
"So I wonder what kind of powers Starfire will have?", Beast Boy asks. "Maybe she can create a starbolt sword!"
"It's possible and I also have a feeling that she will probably be just as strong a Superboy, but require more UV radiation to do that.", Cyborg said. "I just hope Blackfire doesn't do anything to endanger Starfire." Cyborg then checks his clock. "Only three more hours."
Just then their game was interrupted by the news channel, due to Robin's modification on the TV. "Dude, what happened?!", Beast Boy screams in horror.
"We interrupt this program with this breaking announcement. The super villain known as Dr. Light have just escaped from prison and is currently robbing a bank. We also have confirmation that he killed several security guards.", the news reporter announce.
"Titans Go!", Robin shouts as the four leave, but not before putting their tower to maximum security for Starfire's safety.
Jump City in front of Bank of Pérez...
Dr. Light walks out of the bank carrying several bags of cash he have just stole. He looks up and see the Teen Titans, well the four of them at least.
"Aren't you missing someone?", Dr. Light asks. "Well it doesn't matter."
"We all know how this is going to end, Dr. Light, let's just do this the easy way.", Robin said.
"Then come and get me.", Dr. Light said in a mocking tone.
The four original Titans attacked, with Beast Boy leading the charge after morphing into Tyrannosaurus Rex. Dr. Light simply raise his arms, dropping the bags and fires a blast at Beast Boy. The blast was powerful that is knocks Beast Boy to the ground, returning to his human form. Beast Boy struggles to stand, but Dr. Light kicks him straight to the face knocking him down.
"Beast Boy!", Raven cries out in grief as she flies to his side. This amuses Dr. Light as he sees Raven as a heartless monster. Raven tries to heal Beast Boy, but was doing little effect. Raven starts to weep thinking she may be too late.
"You'll pay for that!", Robin shouts in anger as he throws several discs, but Dr. Light destroys them with his energy whip. Cyborg fires his sonic cannon, but Dr. Light blocks it with an energy field. Dr. Light does a powerful energy burst knocking Robin and Cyborg to the ground.
Raven after putting Beast Boy to a stable condition flies in and fires a magical blast. Dr. Light fires back and the two attack hits a stalemate. Dr. Light's blast eventually overpowered Raven's magic sending her flying to a building.
Dr. Light chuckles in victory looking at the defeated heroes. "This was almost too easy. I need something more of a challenge."
"You want a challenge?! Then you got it!", a voice screams in rage.
Dr. Light looks up to the source of the voice and sees a red fiery blur heading straight for him. After getting a closer look the blur is actually Starfire. Before he could react Starfire punches him to the building.
Robin, Raven, Cyborg and Beast Boy regains conscious. They all look up and see their savior, Starfire, but their jaws drop down wide open on what they saw. Starfire looked almost as tall as Cyborg. Her body was rippling with muscles and was wearing very revealing costume. The costume didn't surprise Robin considering that fact several female adult heroines and villains wore similar costumes. Her hair was wild and was waist length while her eyes were an iris less solid green.
Dr. Light walks out of the building with little injury. "You handled that well.", Starfire said.
"I've been working out while I was in prison.", Dr. Light said as he fires a double energy blast. Starfire fires back with her blast colliding with Dr Light's. The two continue firing and found themselves in a stalemate and a difficult one to overcome.
"Woah, I could barely overpower that blast, but Starfire is handling it equally.", Raven said amazed by Starfire's increased strength.
Seeing that the power is somewhat equal and the other Titans have regained conscious Dr Light knows he is now outnumbered and outgunned. The two stop their blasts at the same time and Dr. Light puts his hands up, surrendering.
Robin was about to cuff him until a high speed jet flies over them dropping a ladder. Dr. Light grabs the ladder instantaneously and is taken out of Jump City in no time flat.
Later somewhere in Bialya...
"You came just in time, Psimon.", Dr. Light said talking a man with a visible brain in a glass dome. He notices that Psimon was wearing a grey trench coat with a hood and beneath it was a black shirt and grey pants. "I see you have a change in fashion."
"Queen Bee finds it disturbing seeing me in my old uniform believing it to be a dress.", Psimon explained. "I'm rather surprised that you were truly going to kill the Teen Titans despite the fact that it will earn the wrath of the Justice League, specifically Batman."
"That was just the message to show that the Justice League shouldn't underestimate me.", Dr. Light said. "However this may give us an opportunity to discredit the Justice League as I just to happen to have a data disc to them alternating my mind"
Dr. Light toss the disc past Psimon, which was then grabbed by a dark skinned woman.
"Nice catch, Queen Bee. But are you the human or the alien one?", Dr. Light ask.
"I am both, thanks to one of Papillon's cocoon that my men smuggled here. It was originally meant to increase my control over the people, until Zazzala came in to take it for herself and we both fell inside fusing us in the process.", Queen Bee explains.
"I heard that you joined up with an organization. Is it the one this Ravager is part of?", Dr. Light asks.
"Actually Ravager and her master is part of the organization, but are doing things their own way.", Queen Bee explains.
"What is this organization called?", Dr. Light asks curiously.
"It's called Tartaros.", Queen Bee with a smirk.

Summary: Beast Boy is an oddity, not because of his green skin, but as one of the younger super heroes, he boasts years of experience in fighting evil.
It all began when a pre-teenage Garfield Logan accompanied his parents, two scientists, to Africa. They were in search of the elusive gene that connected animals to human beings. When his father Mark learned of the Martian Manhunter, the family moved back to America. Mark met with Martian and asked for his blood sample for his research which he generously donated.
During his research Mark was murdered, fearing that someone close was the culprit Marie took her son and her husband's research and moved back to Africa. At some point Logan was bitten by a green monkey and contracted the Sakutia Virus. The virus was incurable and the only way to save him Marie used Mark's martian serum saving his life. At some point his mother died in a car accident, but the Doom Patrol discovered it to be murder.
Now an orphan Garfield was taken in by his uncle, Nicholas Galtry unaware that he was one of his mother's killer. During his years, Garfield slowly turned green and gained the ability to shape shift into animals. Finding an excuse Nicholas attempted to kill Garfield, but he escaped. Out in the streets Garfield witnessed the Doom Patrol saving the day. Eventually sneaked inside their HQ, but was mistaken for an intruder. He used his changeling powers to avoid being hurt, until Elastic Girl stopped the fight. Impressed with his abilities they adopted him and named him Beast Boy.
Beast Boy later quits the Doom Patrol after being in odds with Mento, but in truth Mento had Beast Boy quit in order to protect him fearing that he would cross the line once Beast Boy learns who his parent's killers are.
