Me: And I'm back with another chapter. 4 days till she lands.
Jasiri: I know and I can't wait. *Does a very happy jig*
Me while glaring at Jasiri: Big thanks to SkysFireLady15 and rinpup14 for reviewing.
Jasiri while still dancing: Chavonnie26 owns only me, Midnight and Herself as Auertisse. Pyra belongs to SkysFireLady15.
Me: Good now onto the fic.
-Line Break-
Meanwhile at the noodle shop Beastboy is serving noodles while wearing an apron. Suddenly he notices a couple palace messengers are putting up a poster. He rushes over to read it.
"What? Master Midnight's choosing the Dragon Warrior! Today!" Beastboy said excitedly as he looked ready to race over to the Jade Palace.
But before he could do so he was trampled by a wave of people that ran or flew up to the palace. Luckily for Beastboy he was able to spring back up afterwards and ran over to his sister.
"Can I go? Please?" Beastboy asked her while turning into a kitten and giving Pyra the face.
"Alright but bring me back a souvenir." Pyra said as Beastboy raced off to the palace as a peregrine falcon.
But Beastboy arrives at the palace too late and is shut out of the covered arena.
"Aw dude!" Beastboy says as the festivities begin.
-Meanwhile in the arena-
Auertisse was both glowing with pride and slowly becoming a nervous wreck.
"Relax my friend. All will be well." Midnight said as she led Auertisse to the stage.
"I know but I just can't help worrying." Auertisse said as she made sure her kimono was on properly.
She hardly ever wore it since she preferred pants to dresses any day.
"Are your students ready?" Midnight asked Auertisse while straitening her own kimono.
"Yes. Let us begin." Auertisse said anxious to get started.
"Now know this, old friend. Whomever I choose will not only bring peace to the Valley, but also to you." Midnight said as they walked onto the stage to be greeted by a roaring crowd of super humans.
"Let the tournament BEGIN!" The announcer said causing the crowd to roar even louder.
-Back with Beastboy-
Beastboy kept pounding on the door and screaming to let him in until he spotted a window and looked inside the arena.
"Citizens of Jump Valley! It is my great honour to present to you... Raven! Jasiri! Starfire! Cyborg! Robin! The Furious Five!" Auertisse yelled as the Furious Five performed an aerial show of their kung fu and landed on the stage perfectly.
"Whoa the Furious Five!" Beastboy said as he stared at them but more at Jasiri than anyone else.
But suddenly a gust of wind closed the window and sent Beastboy flying back.
"Warriors prepare!" Auertisse yelled as Beastboy found a small crack in the wall to watch the performance through.
"Ready for battle!" Auertisse yelled as Beastboy caught a glimpse of Starfire firing up her starbolts.
"Yeah! Woo! The Thousand Tongues of Fire!" Beastboy said as someone blocked his view.
"Hey get out of the way!" Beastboy yelled as he tried looking around the fan.
Beastboy then tried all kinds of methods to get into the arena but each time fails until he was just sitting there dejectedly.
"And finally...Master Raven!" Auertisse yelled as Beastboy snapped to attention.
Beastboy then renewed his efforts.
"And believe me citizens, you have not seen anything yet!" Auertisse yelled.
"I KNOW!" Beastboy yelled as his latest attempt to get in failed.
"Master Raven! Face Iron Ox and his Blades of Death!" Auertisse yelled as Beastboy landed in the fireworks cart outside the arena.
-Inside the arena-
Midnight senses something and holds up her hand. The music immediately stops.
"I sense the Dragon Warrior is among us." Midnight said as Auertisse motioned for the Furious Five to gather in the center of the stage.
"Citizens of Jump Valley! Master Midnight will now choose...the Dragon Warrior!" Auertisse yelled as everyone waited with baited breath.
-With Beastboy-
"Huh? Oh no! Wait!" Beastboy yelled as he came to then saw the fireworks and had an idea.
A very Beastboyish idea. Soon he had a lot of fireworks strapped to a wooden chair. I know bad idea but hey he's Beastboy. Soon he's on the chair and lights the fuse while ceremonial music starts playing in the arena. Suddenly the fireworks go off and Beastboy is rocketed over the arena. Then the fireworks run out.
"Uh oh." Beastboy said as he fell down and crashed through the roof.
Just as Midnight was about to point at Raven causing her to point at him instead.
"Stercore." Auertisse said when she saw her new student.
Auertisse sent an apologetic look to her students as Beastboy came to.
"What's going on? Where...uh? What are you pointing-?" Beastboy asked as he got his bearings then figured out where he was.
"Oh. Okay. Sorry. I just wanted to see who the Dragon Warrior was." Beastboy said as he looked ready to turn into a fly.
"How interesting." Midnight said as she watched the green teen from behind her mask.
"Master, are you pointing at...me?" Raven asked hoping that it was a mistake.
"Him." Midnight said still pointing at Beastboy.
"Who-?" Beastboy asked as he tried to move out of the finger's direction but it followed him.
"You. The universe has given us the Dragon Warrior." Midnight said holding up Beastboy's scrawny arm for all the world to see.
Suddenly Wildebeest bangs the gong and the crowd goes wild! They cheer! They scream! Confetti falls!
A palanquin is carried past Auertisse and is bound for Beastboy. Beastboy is easily lifted on as Auertisse rushes desperately to Midnight's side.
"Master Midnight, wait! That scrawny teen can't possibly be the answer to... our problem. You were about to point at Raven. That thing fell in front of her. That was just an accident!" Auertisse said and it almost sounded like begging.
"There are no accidents." Midnight said as Beastboy was whisked away to the Hall of Heroes.
Midnight then left Auertisse's side as the Furious Five approached her.
"Forgive us master. We have failed you." Raven said while she and the others bowed to Auertisse.
"No. If the teen has not quit by morning, then I will have failed you." Auertisse said as she teleported to the Hall of Heroes while the Five stayed for the rest of the festivities.
-At Chogun Prison-
A huge prison is carved into the side of a frozen mountain. Fifteen stories of iron and rock. No windows. One door - locked, bolted and sealed tight. Hero guards in armour patrol the perimeter. Suddenly Argent flies into view and a sentry spots her. Soon she lands gracefully in front of the door and the guards point their spears at her.
"I bring a message from Master Auertisse." Argent said calmly even though she was being held at spear point.
A moment later….
"What? 'Double the guard? Extra precautions? Your prison may not be adequate!' You doubt my prisons security?!" The commander of the prison (Who was none other than Batman) asked angrily.
"No absolutely not. (Pause) Auertisse does. I'm just the messenger." Argent said surprisingly calm considering she was talking to the Batman.
"Well I have a message of my own for Auertisse." Batman said coldly as he took Argent on a tour of the prison which included showing her the only prisoner.
Slade. The name most feared in Jump Valley. When the tour was done Argent was more than ready to head back to Auertisse with the commander's message.
-At the Hall of Heroes-
"Dragon Warrior! Dragon Warrior!" The crowd chanted as Beastboy was thrown inside the hall and the doors closed behind him.
"Wait a second! Hello? Uh...I think there's been a slight mistake. Everyone seems to think that I'm, uh..." Beastboy started to say until he saw where he was.
"Dude! The Sacred Hall of Heroes. No way! Would you look at this place!" Beastboy yelled as he went from display to display knowing exactly what everything was.
He finally stopped at what looked like an ordinary urn.
"The legendary Urn of Whispering Warriors! Said to contain the souls of the entire Tenshu army." Beastboy said admiring the urn.
"Hello?" Beastboy asked into the urn.
"Have you finished sight-seeing?" Auertisse asked Beastboy from behind him.
"Sorry. I should've come to see you first." Beastboy said into the urn.
"You really are as dumb as a stack of bricks aren't you?" Auertisse asked him sarcastically still from behind him.
"Well you're not one to talk!" Beastboy yelled at the urn.
"Turn around you moron!" Auertisse yelled at him while her right eye started twitching.
Beastboy turned around in fright, broke the urn and saw Auertisse glaring at him.
"So you're the legendary Dragon Warrior. Hmmm?" Auertisse asked Beastboy as she fixed the urn with her powers.
"Well yeah I guess." Beastboy said reluctantly.
"Wrong! You are not the Dragon Warrior. You will never be the Dragon Warrior until you have learned the secret of the Dragon Scroll." Auertisse as she pointed to the scroll.
"Whoa." Beastboy said in awe of the scroll, "So how does this work? You have a ladder or trampoline or...?"
"You really think it's gonna be that easy? That I'm just gonna hand you the secret to limitless power?" Auertisse asked him like he was stupid or a little child in need of correction.
"No I…" Beastboy started to say until he was cut off.
"One must first master the highest level of kung fu. And that is clearly impossible if that one is someone like you." Auertisse said coldly.
"What do you mean? Someone like me?" Beastboy asked her though it was a bit clear he knew the answer.
"Yes. Look at you...these scrawny arms, weak legs and empty head." Auertisse said as she hit the mentioned parts with her staff.
When her staff hit his head a loud echoing THWACK could be heard throughout the hall.
"Owww." Beastboy said while rubbing his head where he got hit.
"-and utter disregard for personal hygiene." Auertisse added while looking a little green.
"Now wait a minute. That's a little uncalled-for." Beastboy said while getting up in Auertisse's face.
"Please don't stand so close. I can smell your breath." Auertisse said while turning even greener.
She was almost as green as Beastboy.
"Listen...Midnight said that I was the-"Beastboy started to say as he pointed at Auertisse but stopped when she pinched his out stretched digit.
"*gasp* The Wuxi Finger Hold? Not the Wuxi Finger Hold!" Beastboy said in fear of the much bigger girl.
"Oh you know this hold?" Auertisse asked slyly finally having a little fun.
"Yes." Beastboy said after giving a brief history of the move.
"Oh, then you must know what happens when I flex my pinky." Auertisse said while slightly moving her pinky.
Beastboy frantically nodded and looked ready to beg to be spared.
"You know the hardest part of this? The hardest part is cleaning up afterwards..." Auertisse told him coolly.
"Okay! Okay! Take it easy..." Beastboy begged when he saw the look of murder in Auertisse's eyes.
"Now listen closely, green bean. Midnight may have picked you, but when I'm through with you, I promise you, you're going to wish he hadn't. Are we clear?" Auertisse asked him sharply.
In fact the Sword of Heroes was less sharp.
"Yeah, we're clear. We're clear. We are so clear." Beastboy said as Auertisse finally let go of his finger.
"Good. I can't wait to get started." Auertisse said with a little bit of mirth slipping into her voice.
