OMG! I am soooo sorry! I had homework and my mom and English teacher were pressuring me to work on I book I might publish in the future so I didn't want to write and I procrastinated a lot. Then I kinda forgot I was writing a story until my friend reminded me. You an all thank my friend Destiny for this (this is where you yell "thank you Destiny!" like a kindergarten class). Anyway, here you go those of you who have been waiting faithfully for this moment.
Disclaimer: I don't own the Titans (that's why it's called fanfiction instead of a TV show) or Gundam Style (you'll see).
Chapter 11
"No!" screamed Jinx. She launched a hex bolt at Gizmo which sent him flying in one end of a nearby building and out the other. She barely registered the destructive force she had just used on her teammate as she sprinted toward the rubble. She began to try and dig out the person he had grown to love. She prayed to every deity she had ever heard of that he was still alive.
The stone and metal scraped her hands ripped at her flesh and stained the debris with her blood. She ignored it and kept digging. She became vaguely aware of the Titans beside her, shouting for their comrade. Again, she kept digging.
"Raven!" shouted Robin, "see if you can pick up any thought patters. Cyborg, scan for a heartbeat and anything else you can! Starfire, deal with Jinx. I'll try to hold them off while you handle all that! Titans, go!" With those words, they all sprinted to accomplish their orders.
Robin launched a roundhouse kick at one of the robots, sending it flying into Atlas's face before leaping at Privet Hive. Raven floated over the fallen building and began her mantra. Cyborg began pressing buttons on his arm to activate the multiple scanners installed in it. Starfire flew to where Jinx sat crying with her face in her hands.
"I couldn't save him! I couldn't save him!" she mumbled to herself.
"Why do you grieve for the fate of an enemy in which you do not know? Are we no longer enemies?" inquired the alien princess. Jinx met her eyes and the red haired girl gasped at the pain reflected in them.
"Because I love him," she answered simply.
Before Starfire could recover enough to reply, several things happened. First: Robin was sent flying by a punch from Adonis and landed at their feet. Second: Cyborg screamed "Boo-ya!" loud enough to shake some nearby buildings and began the dance to "Gundam Style." Lastly: Raven's eyes shot open and she stared down at the fallen building in shock and horror.
"Robin!" yelled Starfire as she hurried to help him up.
"Don't worry, I'm fine," he told her as he stood unsteadily. "Cy, Raven, give me a report!"
"The grass stain's alive," replied the metal man. "My sensors say that the building fell perfectly so that the debris caught itself. BB was standing in the only safe place in that whole downpour. It looks like there's someone out there who thought he should catch a lucky break for once."
Jinx suddenly felt like dancing. Beast Boy is alive she thought to herself. It worked after all!
Raven, being the pessimist that she is, shattered that hope with her next words.
"It's too soon to be celebrating. There's something wrong with his mind. It's… shattered, to put it in layman's terms. It's like he has thousands of thoughts in his head at once, and not one of them is from a human consciousness. I don't know how, but it's as if all of his morphs are… rebelling. And what's worse is he's not doing anything to stop it. If we free him there is every possibility that he'll end up attacking us."
"But he only has a limited supply of oxygen!" exclaimed the machine man angrily. "If we don't get him out now then it would be the same as if that building landed on top of him! We have to get him out before he accidentally unsettles the whole thing and it falls apart! It'll have to be moved just right and I'll bet he's flailing around in there like a dying fish! Rob, what's your call?"
The young vigilante considered before turning his attention to the sorceress. "Can you find out what's wrong with him?" he asked.
"I can try," she replied, uncertainty creeping into her voice. "It's like the Beast incident but much, much, worse. I have no idea what's causing it though."
"It must be something wrong with the Alpha Form," muttered Jinx to herself. She looked up to see the Titans staring at her as if they just realized she was there. "What?"
"What do you mean by the Alpha Form?" asked Robin in a dangerously quiet voice. It occurred to her that maybe Gar hadn't told them about the details of his abilities. She was touched by the faith he had placed in her, even though they were enemies.
"It's something Beast Boy told me about. It's basically the dominant morph he possesses that is in control of his body. Something must have gone wrong and he lost control of the Alpha Form and something is keeping him from getting it back."
"When were you ever able to talk to Beast Boy to learn this?" Robin asked in the same tone as before.
Jinx deflated. It looks like the jig is up. "It was when we were on one of our dates. I'm Jane, pleasure to meet you."
The startled gasps came only from Cyborg and Starfire. Raven already knew, and Robin didn't look that much surprised. "I figured as much," said the masked boy. "I'm a detective, remember? I chose to trust BB's judgment though. We need your help right now though, so I guess it worked out in the end."
The Boy Wonder looked up at Raven. "Since she seems to know more about what's going on than we do, I want you to send her into Beast Boy's mind to help him sort things out. Then Cyborg will direct you to get rid of all this debris and get him out of there. Star and I will by you three as much time as we can by holding off them." He gestured at the super-villains who were finally on their feet again.
He turned back to Jinx. "If you want to save him, then right now you need to be a Titan. Do you understand that?" She nodded with a determined look on her face.
Robin and Cyborg exchanged a knowing glance. "Grass stain found a keeper with this one," said Cy.
Robin nodded in reply. "Titans, go!"
End of chapter
A/N: well there you go! I understand if you are disappointed with the wait and I hope you weren't throwing too many bricks through windows in your frustration. As always, criticize constructively. Send your thoughts and whatever else you want to say. I will try to post again as soon as possible. Next is the last chapter but try not to be too disappointed. I have another story I got from someone's profile (if only I could remember who…). Anyways, until next time the zombie apocalypse is coming!
