Chapter 21 : The Journey Continues PT 2
Azarath
The Titans looked around the forest in awe of the simple beauty of it all, the trees tall and strong with their green leaves and branches that swayed back and forth slowly in the wind.
After taking only three steps from the group Raven fell to her knees holding her head in her hands, the others upon seeing this circled around the empath with concern Garfield walked toward Raven and placed his hand on her shoulder, "Hey,you all right Rae."
Raven nodded her head slightly as she looked at Garfield and said, " Yea I am fine Gar, it's just moving everybody took a lot out of me that's all."
Garfield then shifted into a Tiger and allowed Raven to fall foward onto his back, she snuggled closer in to the green fur letting out a sigh of relief, stifiling a yawn Raven said keep walking forward until they reached a white gate, then she started to snore lightly on her husband's back.
Garfield shifted back to his human form and held Raven's legs with his hands around his waist piggy back style, Garfield turned to the rest of the team and cleared his throat.
" Now before we enter Azarath, there is something really important Raven told me." stated Garfield who slightly lifted Raven on to his back.
" What was that Grass Stain ?", asked Cyborg, Garfield glared at Cyborg for the nickname before continuing, " The thing she said to me was,that it is required that people of Azarath and people visting Azarath wear some kind of cloak."
Everyone nodded their heads then Starfire said, " Friend, how are we going to get cloaks we left our clothes at the tower."
Garfield looked toward Star with a smile, who stared at him with a confused look.
"What?" asked Star who started to stretch a little, " Star do you think you can give us some cloaks?" asked Garfield.
Star nodded his eyes glowed blue, he then snapped his fingers and a blue portal opened over head and out of the portal a pile of multi colored cloaks fell out of it.
The Titans walked toward the pile and each grabbed a cloak ; Garfield grabbed two cloaks,one for him and one for Raven, the colors were black and forest green, both similar to the cloak Raven used to were.
Nightwing picked up a dark hooded cloak, Mas y Menos picked up matching red and white hooded cloaks, Cyborg picked up a silver hooded cloak, Tempest picked up a hooded grey cloak, Starfire picked up a hooded crimson red cloak, Bumblebee grabbed a yellow cloak,Speedy grabbed a light blue hooded cloak,and Jinx grabbed a pink hooded cloak.
Star snapped his fingers and his blue full bodied hooded cloak appeared on his body and white full bodied cloak appeared on Micheal's body.
Everyone put their cloaks on while Garfield knelt down and softly put Raven on the ground and without disturbing her slumber put her black cloak on her then putting his on, too.
Once everyone was dressed in their respective cloaks it was time to move on, placing Raven back on his back Garfield and the others walked on toward the city/state Azarath.
Brooklyn, New York
A portal opened up in a old abandoned factory that had a barbed wired top gate which surrounded the land that measured twenty five by twenty five feet, the afternoon sun shining high above, and pigeons cooing was the scene of this paticular place.
The grounds of this factory was covered in nothing but rust red dirt, the only building was an old paper factory that stood two stories high with two giant rusted double doors, the building had no windows, and the once blue paint is chipping reavling the concrete structure, that had holes punctured in it.
The wind blows sending up little bursts of dirt as a black portal opened up in front of the doors of the building, the forms of Kai and Cheshire exited the vortex, when their feet touched the ground the portal closed behind them.
Cheshire looked around the place with a look of disgust, " This is where he is?," asked the assassin.
Kai nodded and motioned toward the door, "Well lets go.", said Kai as she walked toward the door followed by Chesire.
Little did they know a camera was on the roof of the building tracking their moves.
Once inside the building the holes in the building allowing little light to get through to show an empty room with dust covering everything and rats and roaches scurring about.
Kai and Cheshire kept moving forward,
" This place is disgusting, and I was a slave." said Cheshire who stepped on a roach as they continued their trek through the building.
Sighing in derision Kai said, " Quit complaining already the sooner we found our target the sooner we can get out of here."
They continued walking through the filth of the room, until they came across a locked steel cage door, Kai smiled as her eyes glowed red, she lifted her right hand to blow the door off its hinges, but Cheshire put the oldest siblings hand down and stepped in front of Kai.
This move made Kai stare at the kenshi agitated, " Why did you do that?," asked Kai, Cheshire looked behind herself at Kai and said, " Because if you blasted the door off you might bring this whole building tumbling on us thus killing the target."
Kai shrugged " Well you have a better idea?," asked Kai with a slight saracastic tone, not paying attention Cheshire unsheathed one of her katana blades, gripped the blade with both hands and in a quick motion slashed her weapon up diagonally, the sound of metal cutting metal echoed throughout the room and once Cheshire sheathed her blade the door fell in diaganol pieces with a loud clang.
Cheshire turned toward Kai who stood there with an emotionless face and said, " Impressives now lets go." Kai walked forward in to the next room and Cheshire followed soon after.
Antartica
In the Artic Circle Kari and Jason flew over head scouring the terrain for their mission. Jason wore a full bodied black hooded cloak the rushing wind making the cloth flail wildly while Kari flew at his right side wearing a red hooded cloak, along with a pair of blue jeans, black converse tennis shoes, and a red tank top.
" What are we looking for again?", asked Kari who started biting her finger nails from boredom as her red eyes searched around on the ground below, Jason turned his head toward his sister his red eyes mirrored her bored look.
"You were there you wasn't paying attention." Kari shook her head no and Jason let out a agigitated sigh before continuing," Well, sister we are looking for someone, it turns out that Mark forgot someone from his killing spree and we are going to finish the job.", said Jason agitation.
Kari nodded her head and continued the search, Jason shook his head in derision, he then spotted a wooden shack on a cliff below. Jason lightly tapped Kari's shoulder who turned her head toward Jason.
" What?", asked Kari, " I think I spotted something down there." said Jason pointing toward the shack, Kari saw what he was pointing at shrugged and dived bombed toward the ground, Jason saw what she did and then followed suit.
Jason and Kari were descending to the ground fast, about a couple of feet toward the icy terrain both sibilings exacuted a front flip landing safely on to the earth feet first.
Kari stretched her arms up getting the kinks out of her body as Jason stared intently at the building which was a little run down shack with two busted windows by the front door which was hanging off the rusted hinges.
Something moved in the right window that caught Jason's eye,he smiled wide, looked at Kari and nodded his head, Kari nodded back as her eyes glowed red.
Kari opened her mouth and a red ball of glowing energy appeared she the breathed out and released the blast toward the shack.
Once the blast collided with the shack the entire shack exploded sending debris and ice flying outward covering the entire area and a giant dust cloud arose.
From the cloud a sillouete of a six foot tall figure appeared, when the cloud dissappeared a man around twenty one years of age, wearing a black suit with matching tie and shirt stood on the destroyed grounds of the shack, that was still smoldering with embers, the man was staring intently at Jason and Kari.
His black onyx eyes looked between the two with a sadistic glee, his thin lips curled up in a evil smile as the pale skin of his face was blue from the cold, but the cold seemed to have no affect on him.
" Who are you?", asked the man his breath steaming from the cold outside, Jason and Kari both responded at the same time, " Who we are is none of your concern human, but we know about you, Jeremy Karne also known as Karnevil."
Upon hearing his name escape the two siblings mouth his little smile spread to a sadistic glee, "So you have heard of me how nice but that isn't going to save you." Karnevil said as he reached behind his back and pulled out a black steel nine millimeter pistol and began to fire all eight rounds.
Jason and Kari phased out of the way as the bullets were mere inches away from collididing, the bullets fell to the icy ground as Jason and Kari appeared behind the trigger happy man and said, " Missed us."
With the sound of their voices behind him Karnevil quickly turned around and was face to face with Jason and Kari who took of the cloaks revealing Jason wearing a black muscle shirt, black jeans, a pair of white tennis shoes, and black tape wrapped around his wrist.
" So I think it is time to finish this." Said Jason and Kari as they got in to their battle stances, Karnevil smiled, reached behind himself and pulled out a two silver daggers, " My, thoughts exactlly."
Karnevil threw one of the daggers at Kari who did a back bend to dodge the weapon he then threw the other one at Jason who swiftly turned to the side to dodge.
Karnevil then took a deep breath and he extracted a small pellet from his left pocket and slammed it on the ground once he did it created a small smoke screen that covered the vicinty of where the three were, Kari and Jason started coughing hard as the smoke affected their enhanced senses.
When the smoke cleared Kari took a deep breath, turned around and saw Karnevil behind Jason with Jason's arms behind his back and a dagger to his neck, Karnevil had the most sadistic smile on his face.
" I got your partner now tell me your names before I take great pleasure in cutting out his trachea."
Kari began to chuckle lightly, this made Karnevil agitated with the female, " What is so funny bitch! Cause when i'm done with him I'll be sure to give you extra attention, while I skin you alive."
Kari shook her head and said, " The reason why I'm laughing is because you just made the biggest mistake you will ever make."
" What do you..." started Karnevil but was stopped short as blood exited his mouth becausing piercing out of his back were two bone like spears, Karnevil gripped slackned and he fell motionless on Jason's back, the blood from his mouth dripping on Jason's right shoulder. The spears retracted from Karnevil's body Jason grabbed Karnevil's head and flipped him off his back to the snowy ground with a dull thud a pool of his own blood formed under him.
Jason looked down at Karne's barely moving body as two gaping holes were oozing blood as he lay there breathing unevenly, Jason looked at Kari and nodded and he walked off to the cliff staring off in to the distance as a flash of bright light went off behind him, and Kari's maniacal laughter echoed throughout the night.
Brooklyn, New York
Cheshire and Kai walked around the room they entered, in the room it had a six tables three on each side of the room, strewened with paper on the tops.
Kai turned to Cheshire who stood on her left and said, "You check the right and I'll check the left." Cheshire nodded and went on to check the tables.
After a few minutes of searching they came up empty, afterwards they met in the middle of the room.
"What did you find out?", asked Kai Cheshire shook her head and said," Nothing on my front what did you find?" Kai shook her head also.
Kai then lifted her head up and squinted her eyes, confused Cheshire was about to say something when Kai grabbed Cheshire and sprouted her wings as the ground below them suddenly crumbled to reveal a bed of spikes.
Floating above the spikes were Kai holding Cheshire in her arms under Cheshire's armpits, Kai's wings stroked up and down keeping the two aloft.
Cheshire looked up at Kai and Cheshire said,"Thanks." Kai looked at Cheshire and said don't mention it.
Kai looked up toward the ceiling and her she then looked at Cheshire and said, "Hold on.", and with one powerful upward stroke of her wings she launched her and Cheshire through the ceiling.
When they went through they were in a room that was illuminated in the soft glow of running tv monitors, floating in the air for a minute, Kai landed themselves on the concrete floor.
As soon as they landed Cheshire stood on the right side of Kai, a figure jumped from the darkness of the ceiling and landed in front of the two women in a one knelt position. The figure stood up and revealed him self to be around six foot three, wearing a white tank top,black gym shorts and white tennis shoes, his medium muscle tone glistening with sweat. His coal black eyes looking between the two with his x scar immenit.
As soon as the figure landed Cheshire quickly unsheathed both her blades but Kai put her hand in front of Cheshire and said, "Red X?", he nodded his answer, Cheshire sheathed her blades up and Kai continued.
"Well Red X our master wants to see you for a job."
Red X stared at Kai then Cheshire then stared intently at Kai and said in a deep voice, "Well, lets get started."
