Hola! I like pickles, and cupcakes, and candy, and bunnies! With sauce... I REGRET NOTHING! I also own no animation whatsoever. Tee hee! And for future refrance, I actually do like Trident (The Gum brand.) Don't ask me what goes through Dani's mind...


Dani's pov

Submarines are cool.

"Begin launch sequence. Main power online."

If not a bit boring.

"Oxygen tanks at maximum."

It's weird, knowing that you're miles underwater.

"Tracking systems fully functional."

You never know what you'll find down there.

"Defensive systems active."

Or what will find you.

"Twin turbo engines, purrin' like a kitten."

Sometimes you need a quick getaway.

"And the secret weapon is ready to rock!"

Way to ruin it Beast boy.

"Only time you qualify as a secret weapon is after you eat a tofu bean burrito." Wow. Just wow.

"Ah, excuse me, but can you breathe underwater? Uh uh."

"I can! No wait, ghosts don't need to breathe."

"Can you be any fish in the sea?" He continued.

"Uh uh." Came Cy's voice.

"Didn't think so."

"Beast boy's right. His skills are essential for this mission."

Spitting noises.

"But Dani will come with you."

"Aw dude!"

"Excuse me!"

"Sorry Dani."

"Not one more word Beast boy. We need to know what this Trident guy is planning. If it takes forty barrels of toxic waste I doubt it's anything helpful." I bet he's going to make some new flavor of gum.

Submarines are cool. The people inside them are a different matter.

"Titans, launch!" Ordered Robin.

BB cheered as we sped into the open ocean.

"Ooh, wondrous." Said Starfire, looking at some fish.

"You think that's cool, wait till you see me out there, kicking butt." Does he have short term memory loss? "First I'm going shark." He made a bunch of chomping noises, then he was cut off.

"Goodness me. I seem to have accidentally switched off B's microphone." Nice one Cyborg.

"Mind accidentally leaving it off?" Asked Raven.

"Sonar contact. Beast boy, Dani. Ready to go?"

"Yup."

"Dude, I was born ready. Time to do what I do best. Try not to be jealous."

We both exited the sub. I rode on his back. He was a whale after all. When we reached the sunken ship, I let go. BB transformed into a hammerhead shark.

We began to search the wreckage. It was dark and spooky, but being the halfa I am, I could see fine. Something moved just before the light could hit it. Beast boy saw it too. He began chasing after it. It took forever for me to catch up. Stupid dorsal finns...

Anywho, the sub began to go down. Trident was blasting it, over and over. Beast boy and I began to go after him, but someone passed us. What the heck?

The guy in the blue shirt began to wrestle with the villain, and our sub began to fall down a trench. Then some whales went and saved them. Awesome.

Blue shirt kid and squidy Beast boy began staring at each other. Okay...

"You guys are so weird!"

They both looked at me.

"What? Ghosts can talk underwater. We don't need to breathe!"

Blue guy chuckled somehow, then he led us to where our friends were.

I heard Raven say something above us. "Where are we?"

"My place." Said Blue guy as a whale brought us into the cave. "I told the whales to bring you here."

"Ah, okay. Thanks." Is Raven... blushing?

"Oh yes! Truly, truly! Thank you for saving us!" Is Star blushing too? Weird.

"He saved you? Hello!" Beast boy climbed out of the water and shook some seaweed off his foot. "I was there too you know." I detect jealousy.

"You stopped Trident from kabobing us with that souped up shrimp fork?"

"Way to go." Robin and Cyborg, comedy team extraordinarie.

"Well I was gonna, but-"

"I'm Aqualad. Sorry I didn't introduce myself earlier. We Atlanteans try to keep a low profile."

"Good job." BB shook his hand, still looking pissed. "I don't think anyone noticed you."

Rae and Star were both staring at Aqualad with dreamy expressions. Then Raven pulled herself together.

"You're from Atlantis?"

He nodded. "And so is Trident."

He began to show us clips of Trident causing chaos. "Trident is the worst criminal in Atlantis, with an ego to match. Trident claims to be perfect in every way, so he thinks he can do whatever he wants."

"Any idea what he wants with all that toxic waste?" Asked Robin.

"Whatever it is, it'll be bad for both our worlds." It's gum I tell you! Gum! "He's already gained some kind of new power. It's like he can be everywhere at once."

"You mean like duplicating? I can do that."

"Probably." Aqualad turned to Robin. "As long as we're after the same guy, maybe we can work together."

"Woah! Hey, no, we're good. We got the whole Trident thing under control." BB began to push everyone away from our new acquaintance. "Besides, I'm sure there's a school of minnows or something-"

We pulled him into a group huddle before he could finish.

"We're at the bottom of the ocean." Raven stated.

"Our sub's swiss cheese." Said Cy.

"We cannot breathe water." Added Starfire.

"And you're being rude." I flicked Beast boy's forehead.

"We'll take any help you can give us." Robin told Aqualad.

He nodded. "Hey Tram!" He called, smiling.

A weird fish boy ran up to him. When did he get here?

"Wanna give these people a hand with their sub?"

Tram cracked his fingers and his neck, clapped his hands and rushed eagerly to the sub, making strange grunts the whole time.

"Tram's good with tools." Explained Aqualad.

Tram began to toy with who knows what with what looked like a jackhammer.

"Yo, careful! That's my sub you're messing with!" Protested Cy.

"And while he's helping you, I'll track down Trident."

Beast boy ran and stopped him. "You mean I'll track down Trident."

"That's okay, I can handle it."

"Thanks, but I think I'm-"

"Seriously! I'll take care of it!"

"Would you just get out of my-"

"LET ME GO!" They shouted together, wrestling.

I sighed. Boys are weird. "Hey Robin? Can I go?"

"Yeah. If we leave it up to them, it'll take years."

I began to walk towards the water. Once I got to shore, the tussling boys finally noticed.

"Hey!" They shouted in perfect unison. Wow.

"She doesn't know where to look!"

"Isn't Dani too young to go alone?"

Party poopers...

"If you feel that way, why don't you both go and track Trident with her?" Asked Robin.

"I usually work alone."

"Yeah, me too."

"You do not! You're part of a team."

"And you hang out with Tram the fish boy. What's your point?"

"Hey! Arguing isn't going to find Trident. Now-"

I didn't hear the rest of what Robin said. I'd already begun to leave.

It took them a minute or two to reach me. BB was in squid form, and he somehow still looked angry. I didn't even know that was physically possible for squids to look that pissed.

He appeared to be bragging about himself to Aqualad, then he transformed into a dolphin and swam off. We followed. When we caught up I had to giggle.

Nice going BB, you found more dolphins.

The dolphins swam off, and the boys began to swim high speed toward... um, somewhere? I really hate not being able to communicate with the people I'm supposed to work with.

After what seemed like hours of swimming in the direction they'd gone in, I finally found the twits having a silent argument in a cave.

"Sheesh! Learn to wait. We can't all swim eighty-five miles an hour, you know." I scolded.

They didn't pay attention. Instead, they went down opposite tunnels. I sighed. Boys.

Duplication is a useful power in such situations.

Duplicate with Aqualad's pov

I think I'm going insane. Why? Both Aqualad and I were just attacked by two Tridents at the same time! What is up with that? Stupid gum manufacturers...

The underwater geyser things aren't helping matters. At least it's two against one.

Duplicate with Beastboy's pov

Dang, Trident is annoying! I mean, come on! Why does someone named Trident have to carry around an actual trident? And how many does he have?

"I will win. I always win! I am superior." Well someone's got a high self esteem...

I dodged as Beast boy's giant crab claw snapped Trident's weapon in half.

I followed BB up to another cave. The only difference was that this one had air. Yay! Aqualad and the other duplicate was there. Oh, time to merge.

"I just saw Trident. No you didn't! Yes I did! Cut it out!"

"I don't care what you saw! I fought Trident. Ask Dani, she was there."

"That's impossible!"

"Okay dude, what is your problem?"

"What is your problem? We're suppose to be on the same side, yet you treat me like an enemy!"

"I don't need you on my side! This was my mission until you showed up."

"Enough already!" They looked at me (AN/ Yes, we're back to one Dani.) "What if you both fought Trident?"

They continued arguing. In one ear and out the other.

"You think you're so cool, but I've got a news flash for ya. You're not better than me!" I knew it.

"I don't think I'm better than you!"

"You don't?"

"Maybe you're better than me. Who cares! I just wanna catch Trident. And to do that, we need to stop fighting and start working together." Finally.

"Working together... Aqualad, Dani! What if there's more than one Trident?"

Then I totally called it. That's what if.

"Don't be ridiculous. How could there be-"

"I know. But what if he found a way to copy himself? He could be in two places at once. There wouldn't just be one Trident. There'd be-" Orange glop fell onto his nose.

"Thousands." Said Aqualad, staring at the ceiling.

"Okay, that's almost as gross as Plasmus." I shuddered. The ceiling was lined with thousands of orange pods. Each one had a Trident inside. One opened it's eyes and growled.

"Oh no." Oh great. Now I'm saying stuff at the same time as Beast boy. Darn.

"One Trident is bad."

"This is-"

"An army." A bunch of Tridents finished for him.

They attacked.

One grabbed my arm. I phased through it, then I froze and stole his weapon. It shattered into a million pieces. Ha.

We were all eventually tossed on one side of the room.

"My brilliant plan is already a success. If one of me was perfect, why not make more?" They were all taking turns talking. WEIRDOS! AHHHH! "You can never have too much of a good thing. Once my army conquers Atlantis, I will declare war on the surface world! Everyone in the world will bow down before me. And praise my perfection!" They all said the last part together. I suppose it's safe to say my gum theory was off.

"Any bright ideas?" Whispered Aqualad to Beast boy.

"Just one. Both of you, try to keep up." He looked at the army of ugly. "So, if all of you are perfect, which one of you is the best?"

"I am." They answered as one. "Huh?"

"Come on, not all of you can be the best." I rolled my eyes in an exaggerated fashion.

"One of you must be better than the others." Concluded Aqualad.

"I am the original. I am the best!" Shouted one.

"You are not the original!" Shouted another back to him.

"I am!" They all shouted.

"Nonsense you inferior fools! I am perfection. I am Trident!"

The rest of them began to beat each other up. Really weird to look at.

One they had all knocked themselves out, it was safe to talk.

"Great idea." Said Aqualad.

"Kinda got it from you. Now we just gotta stop those clones from hatching."

It had already begun.

"Too late!" Man! They've only known each other for a day, yet thy keep on talking in unison.

Beast boy wasted no time in turning into a hippo and plowing down the new clones.

We swam for our lives. We made it out just in time for the rest of the Titans to use the seismic blasters to cover the entrance. Is it just me, or is that awesome?


"Consider yourself an honorary Teen Titan." Robin handed Aqualad a communicator. 'We couldn't have done it without you. Thanks."

"Right back at you. It's good to know there's people up here I can trust." Oh, gosh. There go Raven and Starfire with the dreamy eyes.

"And it's good to know there's folks down there that can fix a hyper jet." Said a very happy Cyborg.

Tram did a strange little dance and then he an Cy fist pumped.

"Bye Raven, Starfire, Dani."

"It was nice to meet you."

"Oh, very, very, very nice!" Agreed the drooling Starfire.

I did kookoo signs at them and grinned. "See you later."

"What can I say dude? You're the best."

"Naw. You're the best."

"I know. And if you ever want me to prove it, I'm always up for a race."

"Just try and keep up."

They both ran off and jumped into the water. Boys are weird, weirder by the day.


Yay! It's finally done. I'm going to go have lunch to celebrate. Review.
