Teen Titans: Matrix Meltdown

Chapter 24: Jump City Power Plant

Author's note: Sorry I took so long.

The Titans board their T-Ship and flew off from Titans Tower to Jump City Nuclear Power Plant. As for Team Anderson, they stay behind as back up. Inside the T-Ship were Robin, Terra, Beast Boy, Starfire, and Cyborg. Raven, on the other hand, remained with her new team.

"Alright Titans!" Robin said. "We are approaching the plant in five minutes. Prepare for landing."

As the T-Ship approaches the Jump City Power Plant, Cyborg just got something on radar. The radar screen shows eight bogies approaching the east side of the T-Ship.

"Robin." Cyborg said. "I got six bogies coming in from the east."

"Eight bogies." Robin questioned. "Are you sure?"

"Positive! Looks like we're going to have company."

"Alright Titans! We got eight bogies so prepare for battle."

"What are these bogies that you speak of?" Starfire asked.

"Enemy plane, Star." Terra replied.

"That's right." Beast Boy added. "Bad guys in planes."

Meanwhile, back at Titans Tower, Team Anderson was looking on at the Radar Screen in the lab.

"Geo!" Trini said. "Take a look at the map."

Geo looks at the Radar and is surprised to see what his friends are about to encounter.

"Shit!" Geo said. "The Titans are about to encounter eight bogies coming in from the right. Zoom in onto those bogies."

Trini zooms in on the map and to the team's surprise; the bogies were HIVE fighter planes.

"Oh crap!" Z said.

"We have to help them." Raven said.

"How?" Trini said.

"I'm glad you guys asked." Geo said. "I always have a plan B. Follow me to the hanger."

"Wait a minute!" Z said. "The Time Jet won't do. It's not good enough."

"Who said that we are using the time jet?" Geo said. "Just follow me. I got a big surprise."

The team followed Geo to the hanger and he reveals his surprise: F-16s. Back in the sky, the eight HIVE fighters got into a V-shape position and prepared to engage.

"This is B 1." Said one of the HIVE pilots. "Engaging on enemy ship. I have a lock! Firing!"

The HIVE Pilot fired a missile at the T-Ship. The Teen Titans get a red light that a missile is approaching and they activate the ship's counter measures. The Titans maneuver the ship left to get out of the missiles way.

"Robin!" Said a voice on Robin's mic. "This is Geo Anderson. We are approaching your position PTA 2 minutes."

"What?" Robin said. "How?"

"You'll see. Just hang on."

"But we are not gonna be here in two minutes."

Just then, another HIVE plane fired its machine gun at the right side of the T-Ship. The bullets hit Star's cockpit but not that bad. However, there is more bad news: the damage that the bullets did to Star's side has ruptured the fuel tanks and the T-Ship is losing fuel. Meanwhile, Team Anderson, in their F-16s, got in position as they approach the ongoing aerial dogfight.

"Alright Team." Geo said. "Everyone lock onto a bandit. Stand by for close range. And…Fox 3."

The four planes fired one missile into the air. Back at the fight, the HIVE Planes continue their onslaught. Another HIVE plane fired its bullets at Robin's cockpit. The HIVE planed moved in front of the ship to get a better shot until BOOM! The plane blew up.

"KILL ONE!" Geo said on the radio. "KILL ONE!"

Another missile was heading for a second HIVE plane.

"AHHHHHHH!" Screamed a HIVE Pilot as the missile approaches and blows his plane and himself sky high.

"KILL TWO!" Geo said. "Six more bandits baron 0 9 0. Team Anderson engage."

The Titans sigh in relief as their futuristic friends came in from the north and began to attack the HIVE Planes.

"HAHA!" Cyborg happily said. "The good guys are here."

"Robin, this is Geo Anderson." Geo said. "Bug out west! We'll cover you!"

"You got it Geo!" Robin said.

The HIVE Planes broke their position and spread out. The four F-16s spread out and attacked the HIVE planes.

"Alright baby!" Z said as he engaged and locked on. "I got you locked onto my sight. Firing."

Z fires his second missile and destroys a third a HIVE Plane.

"Nice shot, Z!" Geo said. "Don't get cocky, now!"

Another HIVE Plane tries to hide in the clouds but Trini is not fooled by the HIVE pilot's game of hide and seek.

"I spy!" Trini said. "With my little eye something yellow."

Trini locks on and fires her machine guns at the HIVE Plane in the clouds. The HIVE Plane loses its left wing and falls down to earth. Elsewhere in the sky, Raven is being locked on by another HIVE plane.

"This Raven!" She called on her mic. "I need some help. I'm being shot on."

"Hang on, Rae!" Geo called back. "I'm on the way."

Geo moves his F-16 into position and locks on.

"A1!" Geo said. "Fox 4."

Geo fires another missile and destroys the fifth HIVE Plane out of the sky.

"Thanks Geo!" Raven said. "I thought I was a goner."

"Always proud to help you!" Geo replied. "Now let's go get them."

The two spread out to destroy the last HIVE Planes. There were only three left in the battle.

"Alright Raven!" Geo said. "Take your best shot."

"Roger!" Raven replied.

Raven locks onto one of the HIVE Planes.

"Eat this asshole!" Raven said as she fires her missile at the sixth HIVE plane.

The missile approaches its target and destroys the HIVE plane. The last two remaining planes retreated back to their base.

"The last two remaining HIVE planes are bugging out." Geo said. "We're clear. Fall back to T-Ship position."

The team falls back to where the Teen Titans are still alive in their T-Ship.

"Geo." Robin called out. "This is Robin. We have some trouble here on the starboard side of the ship."

"Let me take a look." Trini said as she maneuvers her plane next to Star's cockpit side.

Trini looks at the damages and is in total surprised on what she sees.

"Oh no!" Trini said. "Titans! It looks like you got crippled. Geo, we have a problem: T-Ship is badly damage. I'm not sure if they are going to make it to the plant. With this damage, they will not have enough time to stay in the air."

With the news spread out, the whole team is in total disappointment.

"I'm sorry Robin!" Geo said.

"Thanks for your help, Geo!"

"I know! Just head back home and get the ship prepared. We'll get to the power plant as soon as possible."

Robin nods.

"Robin!" Geo said as Robin looks at him.

"Yes?" Robin said.

Geo replies back by saying "You guys did great!" and salutes him. Robin returns the salute as he turns the T-Ship back to Titans Tower.

"Take care my friends." Raven said.

"We will." Beast Boy said.

"Good luck Raven." Terra said.

"Be careful friends." Starfire said.

"Do your best." Cyborg added.

"We will." Geo replied. "Team Anderson! Move out!"

The four F-16s used full throttle and headed towards the Jump City Power Plant.
