Traveling up fleets of stairs, the Titans chased up to where Sulrong was thought to be awaiting them. Before the Titans knew it, they were at the very top. They seemed to be on a tower of some sort. Starfire floated over the the sides of what seemed to be cliffs and gave a terrified shriek.
"Starfire? What's worng?" Robin asked worriedly.
"I do not think we are Earth anymore..." Starfire replied, her voice dragging down with worry. Raven walked over to see what Starfire was talking about and nearly gave out a surprised "whoa!". Over the cliff sides seemed to be an endless pit, crowded with purple mist. The platform was surrounded by this kind of edge, and all of the Titans wondered about what they had just gotten themselves into.
"Welcome, Titans." Sulrong said from everywhere, yet nowhere all at the same time. His voice echoed off of the air itself, making him sound like he was next to them yet miles away.
"Where are ya, you masked creep? Show yourself already!" Beastboy yelled.
"Very well." Sulrong said, and appeared in a blue flash in front of the Titans. "Fun fact, you all just broke the rules of universe travel. Welcome to my life!"
"Broke the rules of universe travel? What are you taling about?" Robin questioned.
"I'm saying you just ripped the fabric of time and space, completely unaware of it. You froze the Earth by coming in here. You walked right into my own thread of space."
"We went through a portal?" Cyborg said.
"Yes, you did." Sulrong said matter of factly and paused. "And now you're going to die." His voice became deeper and he started rising from the ground. "In fact, I am God here."
"God or not, you're still a criminal! And you're gonna pay for your crimes!" Robin said, his courage fully recovered. He pulled out his bo-staff and got in his fighting position. Cyborg opened up his sonic cannon, and Starfire's eyes glowed with the fimiliar starbolt green. Beastboy turned into a Trex, and Raven had black balls of magic formed around her hands. Sulrong had a blue glow outlining him, making his black leather armor shine beautifully.
Robin charged onwards, his staff pointed straight at Sulrong. Sulrong lifted his hand, the blue glow getting stronger, and blue surrounded Robin's bo-staff. Sulrong raised his hand above his head, and Robin's staff immdiatly flew into the air. Sulrong crashed his arm down, forcing the staff with it. The staff wacked Robin right in the head, pushing him to the ground. Cyborg and Starfire fired at Sulrong's chest at the same time. Sulrong noticed this, and flashed blue two times before dissappearing. In a blue flash, he was right behind Cyborg. Using his flying height advantage, Sulrong kicked Cyborg into Robin. Starfire grew green starbolts in her hands and rapidly shot them at Sulrong from behind. Sulrong heard that rapid fire but didn't react on time, and flung out of the air and crashed on the ground. Sulrong got back up a few seconds after the crash, and went back into the air. Spotting Starfire, he pointed his arm at her with his hand open, and a blue fireball began to form. Once it fully formed, he shot it. Starfire shot a starbolt at the firebolt (bolt here, bolt there, bolts are freaking everywhere), and they collided in a mild blue and green explosion. Both had more ready, and rapid fire met rapid fire. It kept ending in the mild collision until Sulrong shot quicker, thus overpowering the not-as-numerous starbolts. A firebolt hit Starfire's torso, and she fell to the ground. Sulrong was about to finish her off, but Raven flew to Starfire's defense and made a barrier around them. Beastboy leaped infront of the shield and turned into a python. Sulrong shot as many firebolts at Beastboy as he could, but Beastboy leaped into the air and landed and managed to dodge them. He landed a bit on Sulrongs' eyehole area. Beastboy pulled his head back and something popped off. Beastboy, taken aback by the sudden loss of a grip, fell to the ground and turned back into a human. Something landed in his lap. He looked down and saw Sulrong's mask in his hands. He looked up to Sulrong who looked shocked. The Titans, all on their feet, looked at Sulrongs' true face.
He had black hair with a few streaks of neon blue and neon green in it. His eyes were the same shade of green Robin, Cyborg, and Starfire had when they were under his thumb, so to speak, and his skin was pale (probably from being under that mask all the time).
Sulrong look of shock started to desolve because of fury. But instead of trying to get the mask back or try to kill the Titans again, Sulrong started to form a blue ball around him. His shape could still be seen as a black figure. The power ball started to create a force that was slowly starting to push the Titans back. The force grew stronger, and soon the Titans were a few meters away from where they were standing before.
Meanwhile, Sulrongs' black figure was starting to change. He started to grow huge draconic wings, and a long, muscular tail started to form. The tail topped off with a few spikes at the end, and the wings had little spikes at the end of each wing point. The wings had two claws at the area the wings' boning met. His neck started to grow longer. He head started to take a new shape. He grew a long snout with a nose spike. Sharp fangs stuck out from under his lips. On the top of his head, two sharp horns started to grow out and curve in front of him like a ram horns. His arms and legs grown longer and more muscular. His hands and feet became bigger and his fingers and toes turned into nightmare sharp claws. Long spines grew out of his back and neck. Sulrong landed his mighty paws onto the ground, and the blue ball started to desolve.
Once the ball was all gone, the Titans could see Sulrongs' color. He was mainly black with his ram horns being neon blue. His wing membrane was neon blue. His eyes were glowing dots of neon green. His nose horn was neon blue. The top part of him was neon blue and spread over to the tip of his tail. His paws were neon green.
"This guy is a neon freak..." Beastboy spoke softly, barely even audioble. Sulrong let out a fearsome roar and took a swipe at Cyborg. Cyborg almost dodged, but he didn't calculate how far to jump back for the long claws. The claw tip ran into his stomach, and left a mark. Luckly, it wasn't deep enough to cause very serious damage. Robin got his bo-staff ready, and lept onto Sulrong's huge tail. Robin stuck his bo-staff into a dip in between Sulrong's scales to keep hold. Robin got one of his explosive disks and threw and few behind his wing area. Robin went behind one of Sulrong's spines as the explosion made Sulrong stumble. Sulrong let out a furious roar and stomped his tail to the ground. The force almost flung Robin off, but he held onto his bo-staff to stay on. The staff nearly broke from Robin's sudden weight, but stayed. Robin landed back behind the same spine he used as a defense, and quickly got his bo-staff out from between the scales. Robin ran up to Sulrong's neck and stuck the staff there, except this time in the base of a spine. Robin retreived more explosive disks and threw them all over Sulrong's back. Once the blew, Robin, once again, was nearly thrown off. He held onto the staff and managed to stay on once more. Robin retreived his staff and climbed up Sulrong's neck, using the spines on Sulrong's neck to hold onto the neck and get to the back of the head. Sulrong shook his head around violently, and Robin hund onto one of Sulrongs' horns. Sulrong was too strong, and Robin's grip eventually started slipping, and Robin was flung off and landed on the ground.
Starfire rose into the air and prepared to shoot rapid fire down Sulrong's neck and back. Starfire succeeded, and Sulrong fell on his belly for a momment. Sulrong got back on his feet and opened his gigantic wings. He flapped them and rose to the air. He opened his mouth and a green gas started to come out. Then there was a little spark, and then Sulrong was raining a line of hot blue fire down on the Titans. Starfire met the challange with a line of starbolts. Raven helped by shooting a black line at the fire, and Cyborg joined in with a big sonic blast. The Titans efforts overpowered Sulrong's fire, and Sulrong was hit with the Titans firepower along with his own. Sulrong crashed to the ground, causing the ground to tremor. Sulrong leaped back into action and smashed his paws down on the three Titans. Sulrong looked triumptly at his paw. Robin and Beastboy stared shooked. Then a black blast boomed under Sulrong's paw, making him take it away in pain. Raven, Starfire, and Cyborg were saved from a black force field. All three ran in different dirrections in an attempt to destract Sulrong, and succeed. Sulrong furiously tried to shoot them down with lines of fire, but kept missing.
"Beastboy, think you can give me a speed boost?" Robin asked Beastboy, who nodded. Beastboy turned into a horse and Robin got on his back. Beastboy began running into the heat of the battle and Robin stood on Beastboy's back, getting his grappling hook ready. Beastboy lept into the air and Robin shot the grappling hook. It landed right on one of Sulrong's head horns, and Robin jumped off. Robin flung onto the horn and retreived the grappling hook. Robin quickly climbed up the horn and onto Sulrong's head, and got another exploding disk. Robin got his bo-staff and dented one of Sulrong's scales, and put the disk into the dent. Fit like a glove. Robin put his staff away and jumped down. The disk blew up, and the force smashed Sulrong's head into the ground. Sulrong was stunned, and the Titans had their chance to act. Beastboy turned into a falcon and dived at Sulrong. At the last second, Beastboy turned into a T-rex and smashed down on Sulrong's head at the same diving speed. Raven, Starfire, and Cyborg all shot whatever they could in a line at Sulrong, and Robin threw disks into the lines of fire. Sulrong lept back into action with a roar, and swept his paws at the Titans. Instead of going on with this attack like the Titans though, Sulrong stopped and stared Starfire in the eyes.
Sulrong's eyes started to glow a fimiliar green. Starfire's eyes started to turn that color, and the Titans knew Sulrong was trying to take over her mind.
"Starfire, block him out!" Robin yelled, helpless to stop what was happening. Soon the green took over, and Starfire turned. She shot a line of starbolts at the Titans by Sulrong's command, and Raven made a shield around her friends to protect them. Starfire shot his fire to mix with the starbolts making the power stronger, and Raven was straining herself to keep the shield stong enough to not break. Cyborg noticed Raven's pain and got out of cover to shoot his sonic cannon into the blaze of fire and starbolts. Beastboy turned into a leopard and leaped onto Sulrong's tail. He ran up Sulrong's back and over to the back his Sulrong's head. He turned into a lion and chomped down on Sulrong's neck. This managed to make Sulrong stop and shake his head in hopes of getting Beastboy off, who only bit harder. Starfire's bolts were met by Cyborg's sonic blasts, ending in little explosions of blue and green, similar to when Sulrong and Starfire's bolts hit. Raven changed the shield into blasts of black magic hitting the starbolts that came to challange them. The mild explosions became less mild, and more darker, more black. Robin lept onto Sulrong and stabbed him with a sharp end of his staff. Sulrong let out a roar, but made it different. Raven felt something in her though, something was different about this particular roar. But what was it?
'Think back Raven! What could it be?'
Wrap that up and give it to a child on Christmas, because I'm cliff-hanging ya'll. I like how this chapter came out to be honest. So, what kind of roar do you think it is that feels fimiliar to Raven? Whoever gets it right will be mentioned in the next chapter, so stay tuned!
