Own nothing, I do
Cyborg, Raven, and Beast Boy kicked down the doors to the nuclear plant where Plasmus was said to be. Plasmus was there alright, chugging down entire canisters of concentrated sulfuric acid. "Tch." Cyborg fired a blue phaser of energy at the canister, sending it flailing out of Plasmus's hand.
"That stuff cannot be good for you," Beast Boy said.
Plasmus screeched and swung his arm, sending a volley of red sludge at the three Titans. Beast Boy hopped over a ball of sludge. "Uh, gross."
Raven burst toward Plasmus, agilely dodging the sludge balls. "Let him have it, Rae!" Cyborg ordered.
Raven shot a ball of black energy through Plasmus's stomach. Beast Boy looked through the hole. "I think you gave a little too much."
Plasmus seemed to smirk as the hole repaired itself like no damage had been dealt. Cyborg gritted his teeth. "I'm thinking not enough."
Plasmus charged toward Raven, cocking his fist back for a sludge-covered punch. Beast Boy pushed Raven out of the way and morphed into an elephant, ramming Plasmus with his tusks and driving him into a wall. "Now, Cyborg!"
Cyborg fired a large wave of energy at Plasmus, completely decimating the red behemoth's arm. Plasmus recoiled in pain and grabbed both tusks and lifted Beast Boy into the air. Beast Boy began to wriggle in the air. "Not cool, not cool, not-" Plasmus whipped him toward Cyborg and Raven. Beast Boy morphed back into his human form and spun around, morphing into a pterodactyl. Raven, Cyborg, and Beast Boy all charged at Plasmus once again, barraging the monster with a volley of attacks. Plasmus whipped them away like one would bat at a fly. He held both arms forward, sending a fast burst of sludge balls at the three titans.
Raven dodged six balls of sludge and held up her hands, forming a black aura around ten canisters. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" In an instant, the canisters impaled Plasmus, staggering the large beast.
Plasmus took them out and threw them back. Cyborg charged headfirst into Plasmus, sending his fists straight through Plasmus. Plasmus wouldn't let go. "Let me go!" Cyborg shouted, firing blue waves of energy through his stomach and out of his head. Plasmus shrieked in pain and grabbed the back of Cyborg's head. He launched Cyborg through the air, sending him slamming into Beast Boy.
"Dude!"
"Sorry!"
"I think you got a little bit of the sludge in my mouth."
"You only have a little!" Cyborg spat out a glob of it on the floor.
Beast Boy gagged. "That's sick, man."
Plasmus shrieked again, pounding his chest in triumph. Beast Boy stood up, panting and feeling fatigued. "I really wish we had Robin, Starfire, and Gohan here right now."
"Well, you know what?" Cyborg said, in an unusually stern, serious tone. "They're not here right now."
Meanwhile, Cindeblock led Robin, Starfire, and Gohan into the opposite end of the factory, where even the sounds of their friends battling it out for their lives against Plasmus did not make Robin reconsider the idea of teaming up. "He led us here, Robin," Gohan said, "and it's a stupid idea to continue this contest if both criminals are in the same place."
Robin shot an angry glance at him.
"There he is!" Starfire exclaimed, pointing at the fleeing Cinderblock.
Gohan spiked his aura. "He's not gonna get away this time." Gohan blazed past Cinderblock in a flash of blue energy. Cinderblock stopped running and shot up his arm in front of his face.
"A little high!" Gohan said, kicking Cinderblock in the stomach. Cinderblock arched over and looked up, staring directly into a yellow ball of chi. "Ha!" Gohan exclaimed, sending Cinderblock tumbling past Robin and Starfire.
"This guy needs to chill!" Robin said, covering Cinderblock in a net with freeze bombs. "Starfire! Gohan!"
They nodded, forming balls of energy on their hands. "Get ready! Fire!" Hundreds of energy balls hit the net, causing a fiery explosion to knock the titans off their feet and knock a hole into the walls of the factory. Robin smirked and stood up. "Did you hear that, Cyborg?"
"The sound of us whooping Plasmus butt?" Cyborg answered from across the factory, "Why yes, I did!"
Raven yelped in pain as she was sent flailing across the room. "It sounds like he's whooping your butt!"
"Robin!" Starfire exclaimed, watching as Cinderblock rushed from the fire with ice patches still frozen on his arms.
"No way!" Gohan threw a punch, but was dodged by the cement criminal. Cinderblock hopped into the air, grabbing Gohan's leg by surprise. Cinderblock slammed Gohan into the ground several times before using him as a shield against a flurry of green bolts of energy.
"I apologize!" Starfire shouted.
Gohan gave her a weak thumb up before being whipped into the ceiling. Starfire and Robin charged, driving Cindeblock toward another wall. Robin kicked Cinderblock in the face. Cinderblock threw a volley of punches, but was evaded by the prodigy of Batman.
Starfire grabbed Robin around his waist and burst into the air toward Gohan, who was still stuck in the ceiling with his head spinning. "Gohan!" She felt a hard, bumpy hand grab her ankle. She screamed as Cinderblock slammed her in the ground. Robin rolled free from Cinderblock's grasp and charged once again.
Cinderblock smirked and used Starfire as a bat, bashing Robin from the side. Robin tumbled to the ground. Starfire shot a ball of energy into the crack in Cinderblock's face, making him stagger back in pain. Starfire broke free of the grasp and tried firing more, but was tossed aside by a sweep of Cinderblock's arm. The two titans laid on the ground extremely fatigued, looking up to only see a gray foot hovering above them.
In an instant, a bright flash of yellow energy and an enraged battle cry shattered all of the windows and a few of the light bulbs in the factory. A yellow flash of energy knocked Cinderblock to the ground. "It's time we end this!" Gohan barked, walking toward the man of stone.
Cinderblock's face began to swell in pain.
"See, when you fought me last time, I was in a relatively good mood." Gohan spiked his aura again, shaking the floors.
"G-gohan?" Robin stuttered, feeling the energy Gohan was giving off.
Cinderblock stood up and growled in anger; a gray aura began to spike around him.
"There is a thing about my race you should know." Gohan sent a powerful punch into Cinderblock's stomach, smirking as he felt chips of cement fall off. "Our emotions greatly affect our power."
Cinderblock's eyes widened in fear.
"Wanna see what it is like when one has seriously pissed me off?" Gohan laughed. His voice was more cold, sharper than any other tone the titans had heard in Gohan's voice. He drew back his fist, letting Cinderblock hit the ground. Gohan fell into his father's stance and drew his hands back to his sides. "Kame..." a small, blue orb formed between his hands.
Starfire and Robin stood up and gawked at Gohan. "He wasn't nearly as powerful as we thought he was when fighting Cinderblock the first time, Robin," Starfire said.
"What the hell happened to him?" Robin was once again taken back by Gohan's display of power.
"Hame..." The small blue orb quickly swelled to ten times its original size.
"He's a Saiyan, Robin." Starfire watched in awe and terror as Gohan cocked both arms back. "He got mad."
Robin looked at her as he dawned on an inure realization. His grimace turned into a small grin as he re-equipped his bow staff.
"HA!" Gohan roared, blasting Cinderblock through several rooms of the factory and into Plasmus.
"Gohan!" Beast Boy grinned, watching as Gohan, Robin, and Starfire rushed after Cinderblock. Gohan cocked his fist back and let it fly, hitting Cinderblock with enough force to knock him unconscious. A second crack formed, this one over Cinerblock's right eye.
Gohan turned around and glared at Plasmus. Plasmus grinned at the new challengers and began to morph, splitting into six different blobs of sludge. The blobs of sludge changed into various forms and charged toward the titans and Gohan with heightened speed. The titans and Gohan ran toward the doors to the laboratories and slammed the doors shut behind them. "What is that thing?" Gohan exclaimed.
"Plasmus," Robin said.
"The grossest criminal ever!" Beast Boy added.
"How do we stop-"
The Plasmi broke down the door and charged toward the titans and Gohan. "Titans! Split up!" Robin and Cyborg glared at each other, realizing they had said it simultaneously. The titans and Gohan quickly ran in different directions.
A snake-like sludge monster speedily slithered after Starfire. Starfire whipped around, firing green energy bolts at the snake. The sludge snake dodged the bolts and lunged at her with its mouth open. A flash of yellow chi hit the snake in its side, sending sludge all around the laboratory. Gohan stepped in front of Starfire. "You okay?"
Starfire nodded. "I'm alright." She burst into the air to help her friends.
Gohan fazed out, reappearing next to a Beast Boy Gorilla fighting a sludge gorilla. Gohan charged toward it, severing it in half with a roundhouse kick. Gohan fired a large wave of chi, obliterating the sludge gorilla. "Dang, bro." Beast Boy morphed into his human form.
Gohan disappeared once again, firing waves of energy at whatever fought his friends. In no time, Plasmus was completely gone. The titans and Gohan met in the center of the half destroyed laboratory. Robin and Cyborg glared at each other and folded their arms. "No," Gohan said, "both of you saw what became of us once we split. No more splitting up; you guys are a family that needs to stick together. Even if I'm not a titan, I'll be damned if one of you quits over a bunch of stupid decisions."
"Whose decisions are you calling stupid?" Robin and Cyborg said, still feeling stubborn about calling a truce.
The rest of the titans groaned.
"Look," Robin cleared his throat. "I'm sorry for being so..."
"Yeah, yeah, I get what you mean." Cyborg grinned. The two exchanged their handshake.
"Are we cool?"
"Frosty."
Just then, policemen and reporters flooded the factory and laboratory; the police quickly hefted Cinderblock and a sleeping, human Plasmus out while the reporters surrounded the Teen Titans. Gohan was stunned by the barrage of flashing lights and questions.
A tall, curly haired newswoman fought her way to the inner circle of the reporters. "Hello? Hello? I'm Teresa Gonzalez of channel three, and I'm here with the Teen Titans whom have recently defeated the likes of Cinderblock and Plasmus recently. Would you like to tell us about what conspired here at the factory?"
A group of police threw Cinderblock into the back of a police truck. A sleeping, human, Plasmus was put back in his water tank and carried off. Robin smirked. "I believe it's pretty self explanatory, bad guy breaks in, we break him."
"I noticed that there is a sixth hero among you," she continued, "is he a bystander that lent a hand or is he a new titan?"
Gohan turned his head. "I'm not really a titan-"
"We've been considering him," Cyborg said, "he did help us a great deal both with Cinderblock and settling a few disputes among ourselves. I have to consult with the others to decide."
"Raven, Beast Boy, and I are all in agreement that he should be a titan," Starfire said.
"I'm fine with him being part of the team." Cyborg and the other titans turned to Robin.
Robin folded his arms.
"Come on, Robin!" Beast Boy said.
"Well," Robin looked at the pleading faces of his friends. "Gah, fine."
"Today is a joyous day, Gohan!" Starfire hugged him tightly. "You may now come along on our adventures!"
The reporters formed a tighter circle around the titans. "Are Gohan and Starfire-"
"Time to go!" Robin fired a grappling hook out of the window. Cyborg and Beast Boy ran out of the crowd and Starfire, Raven, and Gohan flew out of the laboratory. "Teen Titans: Escape the Media!"
