AN* Other than the OC's I don't own Teen Titans, nor will I ever.
True Heroes
Shinku was still searching Paris for General Immortus when the communicator went off.
"Calling all Titans. This is a test of our communications system. Is everyone ready?" Robin asked.
"Shinku hear. All clear to go on my end. Sorry but I have to cut this short, still hunting." Shinku responded.
"Hunting?" Robin asked.
"I believe I found General Immortus. I saw him in Paris and am still searching. If I don't find him by tomorrow morning I will head back to the tower." Shinku replied as he closed the communicator and continued his search. It was several hours later while he was standing on the viewing platform on the Eifel Tower when Robin called in again.
"Calling all Titans! Prepare for battle!" Robin ordered.
"What's going on?!" Shinku roared as suddenly something exploded in front of him. When the smoke cleared a man stood there, he wore entirely black with a skull mask and a black and red ragged cape.
"Robin, I might be a little busy. Your created villain just showed up." Shinku said as he put away the communicator and drew the Magus Sword.
"So you know about me?" Red X asked.
"Yeah. I heard that you just stole the suit for a joyride. Well the ride is about to come to a crashing halt." Shinku growled as he slashed at Red X.
"I don't think so." Red X countered as the two of X's on his hands began to grow and start spinning. Blocking the spinning blades Shinku tried to get past his guard but with only the single blade he was hard pressed to block the strikes.
"Enough of this B.S. Limit Release!" Shinku yelled as the Magus Sword shifted into the two swords of L.V.2. Switching his grip on the left hand sword so that the blade face away from Red X he moved in using the left sword as a tonfa like weapon to block the strikes while using the right to attack Red X. Moving back and forth like that for several minutes Red X finally stopped.
"This is not fun." He noted.
"Yeah. Never expected I'd be facing you." Shinku noted "What made you side with the Brotherhood of Evil?"
"Just felt like it. I don't like to play the hero like you do." Red X laughed.
"Doesn't mean you don't know how." Shinku grinned as he switched the grip on his right hand blade to match the left "I might as well show you what I can really do when I decide to take an opponent seriously, without using magic." Charging forward he used the blades to block the flying X's that were being shot at him until he got close range and started using the hilts to fight Red X in close quarters combat. Smashing his stomach or face from time to time Red X finally had taken enough and leapt towards the edge of the platform.
"Well, kendo-kid, I have had enough."
"Running back to the Brotherhood?"
"For now. I'm not on your side or their side, I'm on my own side."
"Fair enough. Since I won, how about telling me where in this city they are hidden."
"Hehe. Smart, they are several meters below the ground. But you are on your own for finding your way in." Red X laughed as he leapt off and disappeared.
"Calling all Titans." Robin's voice came from the communicator "The Brotherhood of Evil has been listening. I'm breaking off all further communication. Take care of yourselves. You know what to do." Then suddenly the communicator broke, the screen cracked.
"Clever boy." Shinku grinned "Always the master tactician." Taking out the cell phone he made a quick phone call.
"Wayne Manor, how may I help you?" an elderly man asked.
"Alfred. Put Bruce on the line." Shinku said.
"Young master Shinku. Master Bruce is busy at the moment." Alfred said.
"Then tell him the bird has been caged in the city of love." Shinku sighed.
"That sounds most serious. I shall alert him at once." Alfred said as he hung up the phone. Leaping up to the highest point on the tower he took out the infer-red binoculars again and began looking into the ground until he finally found something.
"What is this, a massive source of heat and more are coming in, and some are disappearing." Shinku muttered to himself. Grinning he made his way down to street level and found the general area where the grand hall of the base would be. Making his way he waited tried to find a way into the base but found that each way in was well guarded.
"Looks like I'll have to break my way in. Better rest up a bit first." Shinku muttered as he went back to where he had started the search. Closing his eyes and entering a meditative state he began channeling his powers, and gathering as much energy as he could before he began his assault on the base.
After waiting an hour he heard the gates opening and saw Cinderblock entering with a few more heroes. Grinning he drew his blade and moved to the spot on the wall he wanted to use to enter.
"First strike: Crescent Arc!" Shinku roared as the energy destroyed the wall. Running through the destroyed wall he made quick work through the base until he stopped against a wall and heard an explosion.
"Lesson number 1! Never throw me down unless you make sure I stay there!" Cyborg shouted.
Another explosion and he could hear Starfire "The lesson number 2. We never give up!"
Sensing magic he heard Raven enter "Lesson number 3. Your secret lair isn't very secret!"
Taking that as his cue he unleashed another Crescent Arc and entered the room.
"Lesson number 4. Never underestimate us!" Shinku roared as he released the Magus Sword to L.V.2.
"Titans Together!" Beast Boy shouted. Leaping off the ledge Shinku began cutting down the villains, showing no mercy to any who got in his way. Soon realizing that he was being surrounded he was back to back with Red X.
"So whose side are you on now?" Shinku asked.
"Yours." Red X replied.
"Good. Time to go wild. Limit Release!" he shouted as the two blades fused together creating L.V.3 Magus Sword. The hilt was the same length but now there was a blade on each side of the hilt along with a guard, but the blades edge faced opposite directions, making spinning slashes easier. As Shinku and Red X began destroying all of the villains around them Shinku heard the sound of the freezing machine releasing its captives. Grinning he rushed forward, spinning the magus sword over his head sending anyone stupid enough to be in his way or near him flying. Once Kid Flash arrived most of the villains were defeated and with his help brought to the freezing machine to be frozen allowing Shinku to leap up with the rest of the original Titans along with a few others to capture Monsieur Mallah and the Brain.
"No one's going anywhere." Robin said as Mallah tried to carry the Brain way but was quickly surrounded.
"Then you leave me no choice." The Brain said as suddenly he disengaged from the robotic stand and Mallah leapt away with him while dozens of robot soldiers arrived on an elevator pad.
"Awww. Just when this was getting fun." Cyborg complained as Raven shielded them from the massive laser fire.
"Allow me." Shinku grinned as he started spinning the Magus Sword by his side "Seventh Strike: Rolling Thunder!" he shouted as electricity began wrapping around the blades, and with a forward motion a wheel of black lightning was sent down onto the robotic soldiers. Soon the robotic stand opened up and Shinku and Cyborg were staring at it.
"Oh, this is definitely not good." Shinku said as he quickly examined it.
"It's a fusion device and a big one. I have no idea how to shut it down. We need a miracle" Cyborg said.
"No, we need a friend." Starfire said as she flew off.
"Could you do anything Shinku?" Raven asked.
"No. I can't open a portal in this form and if I did revert back to standard form it would take too long to gather the energy needed to open a portal." Shinku sighed.
"Any requests?" The Herald asked as Starfire flew him over to the elevated platform.
"Far away would be good." Cyborg remarked. Blowing a steady note on his horn he opened a portal into space while Starfire and Cyborg pushed it through. Once back on the floor Robin tossed Beast Boy the Brain.
"Dudes check it out." BB said as he tossed the jar into the freeze blast "Brain Freeze."
"Idiot." Shinku sighed as everyone there groaned. Shaking his head he looked around and saw that Red X had already left and that for once, all of the villains were completely incarcerated. Walking across the floor suddenly his cell phone started ringing.
"Hello?" Shinku said as he opened the phone.
"I got your message. What happened?" Bruce Wayne asked.
"You're a little late there Bats. The Boy Wonder did well, almost every villain of our generation has been captured for good, along with the Brotherhood of Evil." Shinku sighed.
"Really? Well that is good. Tell Dick that once he has some free time that he can stop by Gotham, feel free to have the rest of his team tag along." Bruce sighed as he hung up on his end.
"Who was that?" Raven asked as she hugged him.
"A hero." Shinku shrugged as all of them there prepared to go their separate ways.
"It's going to be good to finally be home." Beast Boy sighed.
"Yeah. We've been away for too long." Robin said as they left the ruins of the last Brotherhood of Evil base.
