BioTitans

by LuisJM

After surviving a freak thunder storm, the Titans detected a distress signal at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. When they got down there, they weren't expecting an underwater utopia filled with insane citizens, big metal monsters, and a ruling dictator. Will they be able to find a way out of this nightmare with the help of some unlikely alliances? (TT/Bioshock X-Over)

24. Competitive Edge

Welp, another day another chapter. And another long one at that. It's getting hard to do these chapters, especially when a schedule like mine sort of get in the way with my hobby. I tell you, when you have multiple funerals on an almost day-to-day basis, it can really catch you in a loop. Still, I don't give up on this work and I will do everything in my power to get it settled. Can't disappoint my fans.

Speaking of fans, here's what's been updated on the last chapter. This one though is quite a shocker. While I have one simple review, I got myself over 550 hits. Holy shit! This is rather unexpected. I mean that chapter before that has around 150 hits. This one though and triple the amount! That was unexpected. But hey, expect the unexpected, as the old saying goes. Wonder how many hits this chapter can get? Let's see what's in store for this chapter of BioTitans.

The Titans are now trapped by the hands of Danny Wilkins, a former Football MVP now turned brute like splicer. In order for them to escape, they must find the override switch to let them out, and face the deranged football player in the process. Will they be able to stop him and get out of this predicament? Read and see.

Chapter Notes

Now looking into the game, I couldn't help but notice that there was no sporting arena or complex in Rapture. Oh sure, they have football teams and the occasional tennis players, but never much of an arena or training facility for those said sports. So I thought I create one for Rapture on this Fanfiction. Now I did a little tease on the complex and naming it the Hercules Stadium, which is fitting because Hercules is considered to be a strong God based on his physique and athletic prowess. So this chapter will be the entirety of the complex. Now Hercules Stadium is a combination of both a sporting arena for a variety of sports and a training facility where athletes work hard be that on their own or on Plasmids. Think of it like the WWE Performance Center mixed in with the Thunderdome, only the stadium is huge enough to hold half the city. Quite a feat if I do say so. Now this chapter will be, at least I'm thinking it, split into two parts. The first being them going around the facility looking for a way to the stadium. The second would be the stadium itself where they will face Danny himself. Sounds complex, I know, but it is something I have to handle since the next chapter will be focusing on LM facing the last two targets and I need to drag it on. So I just hope I can handle all this during these crazy times.

Chapter Twenty-Four: Competitive Edge

"Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing."
Vince Lombardi

With the team, things aren't doing great for them as LM thought. They are in the Farmers Market and have already delivered the ingredients for Langfords little project. But just as they were about to leave, their only way out and locked down and Splicer athletes ambushed them. What makes matters worse is that Danny Wilkins, the person in charge of the Market, orchestrated it and is attacking them for revenge of his uncle. The players pointed their weapons at the group and fired right at them. But Raven had her dome activated and protected the team while the barrage of bullets deflected. The group looked to the situation and didn't like where this was going.

Beast Boy: "Dude! This sucks! I thought we were done here and we can head back to the doctor. Now we have to deal with this?! We really need a break from all of this."

Cyborg turned to the changeling and told him that it won't happen.

Cyborg: "A break? In this place?! BB, there's no place where we can have a break."

Robin looked at the opposition in front of them and had to find a way to get out of this predicament.

Robin: "Whatever the case, these splicers mean serious business. We need to take them out now before they smother us with bullets.

Raven was concentrating hard enough to keep the shield stable, but she knew that she was running low on focus ability as the shield was starting to crack.

Raven: "Well, you better think of something fast! I don't know how long this shield is going to last."

Robin thought of that and came up with an idea.

Robin: "You know what Rae…let the shield break."

The others turned to him and were shocked by his order.

Terra: "Are you out of your mind!"

Robin smirked and told them what he's planning.

Robin: "Trust me… I know what I'm doing?"

With the athlete splicers, they continued to shoot their weapons right at the shields and they could see it cracking from the assault. One of them looked at it and decided to finish it off.

"Their defenses are weakening! Time for the big payoff! Boys!"

Soon enough, a small group came down with their grenade launchers and took aim at the shield. They started to fire grenades and heat seeking rockets right at the shield and they all contacted on it. They all soon exploded causing the shield to shatter into a million pieces and left behind a lot of smoke. The mutilated athletes started to celebrate as they high five and did their athletic poses. But one of them looked at the aftermath and noticed something wasn't right. He soon lifted his hand up and told them to stop.

"Wait! Something's not right about this…"

Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to see what he was referring to. They all look at the plume of smoke and noticed that it was thinning. The moment the smoke was gone, they realized that there was nobody in the sphere like shield, just an empty spot where they were. The moment they saw that, they got upset as one of them was complaining.

"Hey! Where the fuck did those brats went?! They were there just moments ago."

What he and the others didn't know is that a portal opened above them and started to drop something off. The splicer could see that and looked down to see what it is. Turns out, it was an exploding disk as it was flashing red before going green with a long beep. Seeing that, he looked up and was in complete shocked.

"Oh… Shit…"

Pretty soon, the disk exploded and sent the splicer flying onto the bistro sign, getting electrocuted to death. The others saw that and were caught by surprise.

"Whoa! What the-!"

Just then, another disk came down near him and that too exploded, sending him and a few others flying off the second floor staircase and landing on the first floor. Then another disk came down and blew up a few more. And then another. And another. And another. Pretty soon, the area was a mess with splicer athletes scattered about. During the whole confusion, the Titans came down through separate portals and took the advantage they needed.

Robin: "Titans, Go!"

They soon went on the attack as they used the distraction as a way to hold them down. Robin got his Bo staff out and used it to whack a few splicers down as he landed. Starfire and Raven flew up and fired a barrage of star bolts and aurora blasts to came down the range splicers. Cyborg pounded the ground while landing and brought a few around him tripping and falling to the floor. And Beast Boy turned into a triceratops and plowed through a couple with Terra riding on him. She too took part of the fight as she flinged her glowing yellow hand and used the dirt from the pots to turn into spikes and impaled a couple of splicers in the chest, killing them instantly. The moment the rest of them recovered, they could see the team attacking them and had to act now before it's too late.

"Looks like we're going into overtime boys! Waste them all!"

So they all got back to the fight and used whatever they have to take them out. The first couple got their baseball bats and golf clubs out and charge towards the leader with their weapons swinging.

"Let's play ball!"

Rob heard that and turned to see them charging in. He soon put his staff away and took out two tofas, spinning them around to begin his attack. By the time they got close and swung their weapons, he blocked them off and knocked them back. They swung high and low, looking for an appropriate opening, but Robin blocked each and every attack. However, he needed to take them down now before they could actually knock him out. The splicers backed up and was a little aggravated at his defense. So they decided to do the next best thing as they used their Electri-Bolt Plasmid with the veins sparking blue. All that electricity soon came down their weapons and turned them into electric conductors. They all looked at him and had eager looks on their faces.

"Let's see you block these, punk!"

The Titan leader saw that and knew that they now have an advantage against him, so he got into a defense position and was ready for what they are going to dish out on him. They soon started to charge in and were about to swing at him with their lethal weapons. But just as they were going to do that, they were hit by green and black projectiles and knocked them down on the ground. That in turn has their sparking weapons to fly out of their hands and flew towards a few splicers that were a bit preoccupied with the rest of the team. The moment they got connected, they screamed in pain as the electricity caused their bodies to convulse. Robin watched on as the group fall down and was completely unconscious. Looking up, he could see Star and Rae in the air as the Tamaranean waved to him. The leader soon waved back and thank them for the assist.

Robin: "Thanks, girls. Really appreciate the help."

Star smiled and was glad that she saved her friend. But then, a bunch of rockets appeared and flew right towards them. Rae felt that and lifted her hand up to form a shield to protect the two. Once she lowered the shield, they could see the splicers with grenade launchers armed up and ready to fire again. So the two flew down and went on the assault before they could fire back. Charging their projectiles, they fired with a ricochet of bolts and blasts, taking down the first half. The second half however teleported away in a cloud of red mist. Raven stopped firing and noticed the group disappearing, warning Star of the danger.

Raven: "Careful Star, those must be more of them Houdini splicers. Keep an eye out and watch every corner, they could be anywhere."

So the two floated around and search every corner to see if they could find any sign of those teleporters. What's when red mist begins to appear and gather around the second floor balcony on the other end and the splicer appeared, charging up his hand in a firery blaze. He soon started to lob fireballs right at them as a means to burn them alive. Star turned to notice that and told her friend what she found.

Starfire: "There! I have spotted ones who teleport!"

Raven turned to where she found him and lifted a hand to form a wall like barrier to deflect those projectiles. The Tamaranian soon flung some projectiles of her own as the star bolts headed towards them. But he soon vanished in the mist and the attack missed him completely. The two watched on as they searched again to see if there were any more. Just then, two more splicers begin to appear and flung their fireballs at them. Rae felt that and turned to raise her shield at that direction as well, letting the projectiles hit it and not them.

Raven: "Found two more at the entrance balcony!"

Star turned to what she's looking at and flung more star bolts at them. Pretty soon, they blinked away and the bolts hit the spot they were on. So they continued to search for them once again. Suddenly, the half of the group that didn't get hit by the first assault appeared in a line on the ground floor and charged up their Incinerate Plasmids. That's when they lifted their hands up and shoot a line of flames right at them. The two heard that and turned to see the wall of flames heading towards them. Quickly, Raven started to get both hands up and form a shield to protect them from the flamethrowers. But doing that, they have little time to figure out how to get out of this predicament. But as the splicers were too focused on the girls in the air, they fail to notice what was fast approaching them. That is until they heard a prehistoric roar close to them. Once of them turned to see what that sound was and saw a green triceratops charging towards them.

"Oh shit! Everyone look out!"

But that came in deaf ears as the dinosaur plowed through the Houdini splicers with them having little warning of his arrival. Right on his back, Terra was riding him like a cowboy with a bull and was enjoying the ride.

Terra: "Yee-Haw! Giddy-up, Beast Boy! Let's show these sports starts how we handle things in the west."

But as she was riding, one of the splicers got into cover from the star bolt and Aurora blast projectiles and noticed the two other Titans still ramming through his comrades. Seeing this, he decided to handle it.

"What do we have here? A young girl playing Rodeo? Sorry pretty, pretty, pretty, but I'm afraid you just have to get off that thing."

He soon got his nine-iron out and got out of cover when the girls in the air were focusing on more splicers. By the time he charged, he jumped up to the dinosaur and heading towards the girl with a scream. Terra could hear it and turned to see the golfer pouncing to her. Quickly, she got her arms up and was ready for the impact. That was when he speared her and got her off of Beast Boy, without the Changeling to notice. They started to tumble on the ground until they made a stop with Terra on her back, feeling dazed from the impact. But when she came to, she could see the splicer on top of her and lifted his gold club up to go straight for the head.

"Four!"

Terra saw that and had to act fast before her face becomes a crater. Looking up at the mess of dirt spilled on the floor, she took that, she lifted her hand and flung her wrist, letting the specs of dirt flying right towards the splicer, hitting him right into the eyes. The golfer felt that and was nearly blinded, trying to rub it off his face.

"AH! My Eyes! I can't see!"

Trying to get the dust off of him, Terra took that opportunity and lifted her legs to kick the splicer in the sternum. He soon started to stager and got off of Terra, trying to regain his sight. Terra soon kicked up and got back to her feet, starting to hold her own against him. Waving her hand to him, she lets waves of dirt to fly towards him, and covering him up. The splicer waved his nine-iron around trying to get rid of the dust, but it was too miniscule to get rid of. The dirt was like flies to him, but as they were connecting, they started to form and turned into jagged rock. In a matter of moments the golfer was covered with nothing but rock with his head and arm exposed and his club lifted high into the air. He tried to get out of it, but it was impossible to do so.

"Argh… What the- What is this shit! Let me go you freak!"

The Earth Bender crossed her arms and found his statement amusing.

Terra: "Really? You call me a freak? Have you seen yourself in the mirror lately? I don't think Coney Island would take you in."

As she was insulting him, another splicer in a hockey uniform came from behind and has a hockey stick with him ready to deliver a crushing blow.

"Time to score the big goal!"

She heard that and turned around, lifting her yellow glowing hands in an act of defense. But as he was charging, a blue beam came out of blue and hit him in the side, sending him flying right to the wall and made him unconscious. She saw this and was a little confused by that part. But she turned to see Cyborg with the blaster armed and smoking. She soon got a little upset and complained about his action.

Terra: "Are you kidding me? I was going to take care of that loon and you had to go on ahead an interrupt."

Cy lowered his blaster and gave a bit of a smirk.

Cyborg: "You're welcome."

The two soon started to get barraded by multiple projectiles and got into cover behind the benches. Looking up, the hybrid could see a bunch of leatherhead splicers using their Tommy guns and carbines to mow down the two. He soon looked back to his friend and told her for a little assist.

Cyborg: "If you really want to take on some bad guys, help me with these bunch!"

Terra heard that and looked back to see the remaining dirt from the spilled pots. Looking on, she decided to help him with that.

Terra: "Sure thing. I'll blind them, you blast them! On my mark!"

Cy heard that and waited for the moment to strike back with both blasters armed. The moment they ran out of ammo and went to reload their weapons, Terra found their spot.

Terra: "Now!"

She soon flung her hand to them and a line of dust came off the ground and flew to them, hitting their faces and blinding them completely. They all were freaking out as they try to rub the dirt off their eyes. This gives Cy the time to get out of cover and fired his cannons right at them, picking them off one by one. Pretty soon, the battle was already on the Titans side as the remaining splicers were struggling to hold them off. One of them soon realized the grave error they made and decided to fall back.

"Shit! They are too much! We can take this opposing team like this! Everyone, fallback! Get back to the stadium to restrategize! Go, go, go!"

The remaining forces heard him and decided to cut their losses, turning around and running away, some of them teleporting at the same time. The team stopped what they were doing and regrouped, glad that it was over with. But for Danny, he wasn't happy, not at all.

Danny Wilkins: "Hey! Where do you all think you're going?! Get back there and win! Cowards! Losers!"

Robin soon stepped forward and demanded him to get them out.

Robin: "It's over Danny. Open that security door now and let us out!"

Danny soon regained his composure and told them that it was the beginning.

Danny Wilkins: "Don't celebrate yet cheaters, this is only the first quarter. The fun is only beginning. My boys will return to regroup and fight on. You all stay there and wait for them to return. I can assure you that the game is far from over."

He soon cut off the speakers and the place was eerily quiet. The group listened to him and knew that it was too easy. So much so that Beast Boy rubbed the back of his head and was annoyed.

Beast Boy: "Is he serious? He still wants us to keep fighting his little game. What's up with that?!"

Raven approached the changeling and explained why he was insets in hurting them.

Raven: "Well, he is blaming us for killing his uncle. So I can tell that he's desperate in finding and destroying his killer.

Cy soon joined in and told them the truth.

Cyborg: "But we didn't kill him, that paranoid lunatic blew himself up with his own arsenal as a cowardly act."

Robin though looked back to the entrance balcony, knowing that the way back to Arcadia is still locked.

Robin: "It doesn't matter. Right now, we need to find a way back to Langford and hope that his Lazarus Project can do the trick in restoring the forest."

Star thought of that and wondered how to get back.

Starfire: "But how are we going to get back there. That path we just came in is locked and we cannot get through.

Robin heard her and wondered about that too. So much so, that he decided to contact the only person they can trust.

Robin: "I need to make a quick call."

He soon got his communicator out and contacted Atlas. When the screen flipped and went to static, he could see Atlas's face and he told him of the news.

Robin: "Atlas, it's Robin. We were able to get the remaining ingredients in the market and delivered them to Langford to help complete her work."

Atlas heard that and was delighted with the news.

Atlas: "Excellent work. I knew I could count on you. I hope we can all breathe some fresh air soon."

Rob though sighed and decided to tell him of the other part of the news.

Robin: "Well, that was the good news. The bad news is that we are locked in the Farmers Market. Turns out, Danny Wilkins closed the door on us and trapped us here, sending his men to take us out. We were able to hold them back, but it will be a matter of time before they return."

Atlas heard him and gave a deep sigh.

Atlas: "I Figured that would be the case. Danny must be upset over the fact that his uncle was killed by you. Bet ya Ryan must've been the one who had to deliver the news to him."

Robin: "But we didn't kill him, he committed suicide with his own weapons."

Atlas: "Either way, Danny is marking you for dead and he won't rest until he added all of you into his own personal trophy case."

Robin: "Is there another way in getting out of here? An alternate path or an underground sewer connection to take us back to Arcadia."

Atlas gave it a bit of thought and couldn't find an answer.

Atlas: "Sadly no. There is no other way to get back to Langford. The only way is through that security door. However, there is a way to open that door."

Robin heard that and wondered what it was.

Robin: "Well, tell us. What do we do?"

Atlas looked back and was hesitant at first. But they needed to know on how to get out of it.

Atlas: "There is a security override system that operates all the security doors across Rapture, each within their own section. No doubt there is one within the Farmers Market. If you can find it, you might be able to override the security system through there."

Robin thought of that and decided to take it.

Robin: "I'll take whatever we need to get out of here. Where do we find one?"

Atlas turned away from the screen and asked for some help.

Atlas: "Give me a spell. Felix, give me the schematics of the Farmers Market, post haste."

After a few seconds, Felix came back with the blueprint of the market.

Atlas: "Thanks, appreciate it. All right, let's see… The Security office of the Farmers Market… There it is… It says… Oh… That's not right."

Robin heard that and was a little concerned as the rest of the team joined him, wondering what's going on.

Robin: "What? Tell us. Where do we have to go?"

Atlas looked at the map one more time and told the team where the security office is, much to his shigrin.

Atlas: "Well, the security office is in the Farmers Market, but isn't in the market in general. According to the map, the security office where the override is located is…in the Hercules Stadium, deep within Raiders territory. Where Danny is located."

The group heard about that and were in complete silence. That was until Beast Boy broke the silence and was extremely annoyed by this news.

Beast Boy: "Oh, you've got to be kidding me?! We have go into the lion's den to override that door? This has got to be some sick joke."

Atlas sighed and told them that this was beyond his control.

Atlas: "I'm sorry boyo, but it's the only place they can place the security override. Hercules Stadium is more of an arena and training facility, where the best athletes work hard to achieve so much success. Though there is the problem where athletes would use a variety of Plasmids and Tonics to help improve their body. When the war broke out, the Rapture Raiders were suppose to face off against the Olympus Bumblebees in the final Playoffs. That led to the Farmers Market to go into lock down along with other sections of the city that would be vital to Rapture's future. Ryan believes that the civil war would be over soon so that way they can reopen these certain sections. But as you can see, the Civil War took far longer then expected. And because of that, survival of the fittest went into play. Farmers Market, along with the stadium, are now considered to be Raiders territory and Danny is leading this group. And with the security override within the facility, it would be difficult to get by."

They all heard Altas's words of advice and could tell that getting to the place won't be easy, but at least they know that they have to do it.

Robin: "I had seen the entrance of the stadium when I was searching for the Distilled Water. I know how to get there. It's the security I'm worried about."

Atlas: "Then you better get to the stadium and find the security override switch. Langford have all the ingredients to bring her trees to life, but it will be a matter of time before Ryan finds out what she's up to and connect the dots. Be careful though. The Raiders don't take too kindly to fans, not anymore."

Hearing that, he assured him that they can handle it.

Robin: "Not to worry, Atlas. My team and I can handle this. We've been through a lot so far, right? Will let you know when we complete this assignment. Robin, out."

He soon closed off his comm. and told his team on where to go this time.

Robin: "Looks like we have a change of plans, Titans. We need to get into the Hercules Stadium to find the security office to override the doors. We better get down there if we are to return to Arcadia."

The others were hesitant about this as Raven stepped in, wondering if they can pull it off.

Raven: "Robin, you sure we can do this? I don't know if you notice it, but we managed to survive against the first hoard of those spliced up athletes. Do you think we can handle who knows how many more in that arena? I mean, how are we going to survive that?"

Robin turned to the telepath and told her that they'll figure something out.

Robin: "Well find a way to survive when we encounter any of them. Now when I was searching for some Distilled water for Langford, I saw what would be the entrance to the stadium. It seems like a straight shot, but there's no telling what security they would have down there. We might need to be cautious if we are to get into the stadium."

Terra thought of that and came up with a plan, looking to someone that is from close by.

Terra: "Fortunate for us, we have a trump card to get us in there."

The team heard her and wondered what she was referring to. That's when they turned to what she's looking at and saw the splicer golfer encased in rock with the head and arm exposed and could see what she was referring to. The splicer looked to them starring at him and was a little worried.

"Oh crap…"

---

In the entrance of the stadium there was a splicer at the door within the underwater tunnel, looking into an old Playboy like magazine with a bottle of ale on one side of the chair and a shotgun in the other. He was pretty much a guard of the group as he was in charge in getting the members of the Raiders in and out and not everyone else. There were also turrets at the front of the door in the event someone dared to come on in. He already noticed that the some of the force falling back to him and let them through, noticing the rest weren't with them. But that didn't bother him as he was just in charge of the door. As he was getting the good stuff, he heard a heavy knock on the door and followed by a voice on the other side.

"Hey! Open up! It's me!"

The guard heard that and was curious as of who is trying to get in. Getting up, he got his shotgun out to cock it and approached the door while the turrets started to go on standby. Opening the peephole of the door, he looked with his eyes and wondered who it could be. When he saw the splicer's face, he identified him and greeted him.

"Paul? That you? What happened? I saw less then half the group returning, but the rest didn't show."

Paul was quiet turning to the side for some reason. But he looked back and told him what happened.

"It's those punk kids! They took us out and we weren't prepared. Got separated from the group when we retreated. Fortunately, I have a plan to strike back. Open the damn door and I can speak to Danny of my plan."

Hearing that, the guard was hesitant about what was he was saying. But since the group fell back the first time around, maybe there is a chance in turning the tides.

"All right. I'll open for you."

He soon closed the peephole and disabled the security turrets, opening the sliding door soon after. But as he opened it fully, he didn't see the splicer. Instead, he could see Cyborg towering over him with a bit of a smirk on his face.

Cyborg: "Thanks for the door."

The guard blinked a little and has to warn the others. But before he could do that, Cy winded back and threw a forceful punch to knock the guard down. He got hit so hard that his body did a quick spin before slumping to the floor and was passed out completely. The hybrid turned back and gave the thumbs up to the team that was behind him, with Robin keeping the splicer hostage with the R-Sword on his neck. Paul looked back and told him that he was done with his work.

"There! I did what you asked me. You happy now! Let me go! You promised!"

Robin heard him and decided to let him go, but not before tying up a loose end.

Robin: "Sure… We'll let you go. But first…"

He got his sword off the splicer's throat, but then used the handle end to hit him in the back of his head. Paul was soon dazed and fell to the side and hit the floor hard. He looked down at the unconscious splicer as Terra joined him with a smirk on her face.

Terra: "See? What I tell you? Having a splicer alive to let us in easy could come in handy."

Robin looked to her and told her that they still need to reach the security override system.

Robin: "It was a good idea, yes, but that's just the start. We have to journey into the stadium to override the Market's doors. There's no telling what's within the stadium. Let's get going."

Robin soon walked ahead and entered the underwater tube to get straight to the stadium. The others looked on and were concerned what awaits them as well.

Beast Boy: "That doesn't sound so reassuring."

Still, they can't stand there and wait around. So the followed their leader and entered the tunnel soon after. As they were walking down the tunnel, they looked ahead and marveled at what they were walking towards. In what could be something separate to the city is what appears to be a humongous stadium, with golden statues of the son of Zeus himself, Hercules, with his arms trying to hold the stadium up by the sides like that statue in New York City. There is a neon sign at the top that's bright gold that says, 'Hercules Stadium'. They look at the huge arena and were dumbstruck as they walk. But Raven decided to break the silence and stated the obvious.

Raven: "Something tells me this is going to take longer then expected."

As they continued to walk, they could hear the speakers sparking and an announcement started was heard.

"Welcome to Hercules Stadium, where the great rise above the Gods. Tonight is the final playoffs between the Rapture Raiders and the Olympus Bumblebees. Event is sold out today. Please have your tickets ready at the reception desk. VIP guests to head to their private boxes. Enjoy the event."

When the announcement was over, the group could tell that that was prerecorded.

Cyborg: "Sounds like that was the event Atlas told us about. And from the sound of it, that playoff didn't happen."

Robin: "And we all knew what happened after."

Starfire: "This structure looks immense. How are we going to find this override?"

Robin thought of that and had to think of something, but not until they reach the arena.

Robin: "Let's focus on getting in and find out where to go first. Then we'll see where to find our switch."

So they continued to walk down the tunnel, reaching the entrance of the stadium. By the time that they got there, they were confronted by a huge door that would've led them in. But as they were about to get in, the door was locked and there was no other way in getting in. They waited as Beast Boy started to wonder if they were going to get in.

Beast Boy: "So… Should that door be opened by now?"

Robin noticed it to and wondered about is as well.

Robin: "Hmm… You're right… That door should be opened when we come in. Wonder if it's broken or anything."

As he was thinking about that, he could hear a voice next to the team.

"Hello and Welcome!"

The group turned to see what appears to be a ticket dispenser with a robotic head greeting them.

"Please place your ticket into the slot to confirm your invite."

Hearing that, Rob knew how they need to get in.

Robin: "Looks like we found a way in getting in. We're going to need a ticket to get in there."

BB heard that and didn't like it.

Beast Boy: "A ticket? Pft… Good luck with that. I don't think we made any reservation for tickets period. How are we going to find one?"

Raven thought of that and decided to head back quickly.

Raven: "Give me a second, I need to check on something."

She soon floated and headed back to the entrance between the stadium and the market. The group looked on and wondered where she was going.

Cyborg: "Where exactly is she going?"

Terra thought of that too and wondered the same thing.

Terra: "Clearly, I don't know."

They waited for a bit until Raven returned, carrying a wooden rectangular box. Approaching Robin, he asked what she was doing.

Robin: "Well? What were you looking for?"

The telepath soon showed the box and opened it.

Raven: "This."

She soon opened the box and showed that leader the contents that are inside. Rob took a quick look and soon realized what's inside.

Robin: "Well I'll be…"

The others soon joined him to see what he was looking at. Inside the box, there appears to be tickets to get into the stadium. Official stadium tickets. They all blinked and didn't think that would be easy.

Cyborg: "Get out! Are those actual tickets? How did…?"

Raven soon explained where she got them.

Raven: "Simple… That guard that was watching the door had those tickets with him. My guess is that he hands these tickets to the Raiders as a way to gain access. Seems to make sense that they have an invite to the stadium."

Robin picked one of the tickets and looked to it for a bit. Turning back to the ticket dispenser, he decided to give it a try and test it out. Standing in front of it, he inserted the ticket and waited to see what happens. That's when the ticket got inserted into the hole and the robotic head started to respond to it.

"Ah… If it isn't Jason Rumpart. We've been expecting you. Looks like you are invited to the VIP lounge where you can get close to the action. And who knows… Maybe if you lucky, you can rub elbows with the Raider's Personnel MVP, Danny Wilkins. Just follow the signs."

The door soon started to open and let the group in. Robin turned back to them and told them that it was there only way.

Robin: "At least we won't have to worry about raising an alarm. Let's hurry on in there and find a way to get to the security override station. C'mon team."

The group started to head into the main entrance of the stadium. When they entered, they were shocked at the sight of it. The main lobby almost looks like a modern version of the Roman Coliseum. The huge dome above the ceiling, the pillars all in a circle, and a huge golden statue of Hercules with a strong pose with the fountain that is pouring water. But it seems like this gallant entrance also is a warning as they could see dead bodies hung on the ceiling in nooses and it looks like they have been handing for a long time and the statue itself was something written in blood that says, 'Raiders Raid!'. Seeing all of this, they knew that they are in serious trouble.

Beast Boy: "Okay… If that's not a sign of things to come, I don't know what is."

Robin looked up to the bodies and knew that this was something they need to be careful with.

Robin: "This is no doubt a warning. Something that would happen if some unfortunate soul wonders in here. We have to keep out eyes opened. No telling where any of Danny's boys would come and find us."

He soon noticed what looked like an alter at the base of the fountain where candles are gathered around and Raiders merch and equipment is scattered about. But in the middle of the alter is what appears to be a Vox Recorder and the writing below it that says, 'The Raiders Oath'. Robin approach the alter and hit the play button to see what it contains. That's when he heard Danny's voice calling out his team as the team responds.

'When there's a town of defenseless parasites, what do we do?'

'We Raid!'

'When there's vast riches the world has ever seen, what do we do?'

'We Raid!'

'When there's an army come marching and defending their land, what do we do?'

'We Raid!'

'That's right! And when we reach the top of the mountain and the true prize is in sight, what do we do?"

'Rapture Raiders Raid!'

There were war cries and cheers from the athletes as a mean of getting them pumped before the recorder stopped. Hearing the war cry, he figured that is how to greet their home.

Robin: "Hmm… These people have some twisted way in welcoming home. Let's find this security override and get out of here."

So the group walked past the statue and walked down the long hall with all the pillars. Walking down the hall, they could see banisters of Danny with the title, 'Danny Wilkins, Rapture's Pro Ball MVP'. Looking to the banisters, they were surprised at how popular he is.

Beast Boy: "Man… Who would've thought this guy was very popular? And to think his uncle was a fisherman before he lost himself."

Cy looked through each banister and brought back memories of his time as an athlete back when he was human.

Cyborg: "It's no big deal, actually. Those families who have little or no sporting experience always have children that would excel in such activities. I should know. I was one example that push myself to be the better athlete before…the accident."

But then, they all could hear voices from the distance as Robin told them to hide.

Robin: "Shh! Someone's coming!"

He and the others soon got on multiple pillars and stay hidden. Robin soon peeked to the side and could see that there were two splicer walking down to the ticket counter area and were talking about something.

"So, that group that was scent to handle the intruders was disposed of. Around half of them managed to retreat. What do you think the boss will do to them?"

"How the Hell should I know? Danny is a complete sociopath! No matter what happens, he tends to have that short temper and lash it out at anyone who looks at him funny. You know… There was a time that Danny was the most respectable athlete within our team. Always cares for his teammates and the fans. But now, he just turned into a monster."

"Can you blame him? Ever since he wanted to improve his body with a concoction of plasmids and tonics, he turned himself into a monster. And the civil war didn't make things better for him when all the games were canceled. Now that he learned that his uncle died in the hands of parasites, he is completely livid. Now that he learned that this team is in the market, he would do anything to kill them. Can you only imagine what would happen if they managed to get into the stadium?"

"Argh… Don't say it. Last time someone broke in, he tore apart a quarter of the area before butchering the poor soul. I can guess that they will suffer more badly then that guy. Come on; let's get something to drink. Really need to wet my whistle."

They soon started to walk away as the team was hiding from them. When they vanished, the group came out of their spots and breathed a sigh of relief.

Terra: "Phew… That was close. I thought for certain that we would be caught."

Rae approached her and told her that it was temporarily.

Raven: "Well, we didn't get caught, not yet. But at least it's just two of them. Still, if they saw us, they would alert everyone, and you saw what happened to those poor people when we came in."

Robin listened to her and decided to act quickly.

Robin: "Which is why we need to find the override and get out fast before they could spot us. Let's move out."

The group kept on walking and headed down to the ticket counter where patrons would buy their tickets in advance. There were a total of thirty windows for people to pay and employees to deliver tickets, a wide sign that says, 'Tickets' and a huge banner that shows what is happening. The huge poster shows the Rapture Raiders vs. the Olympus Bumblebees in a huge Playoff final with the Danny Wilkins taking on another famous player in the Bees. But a sticker covered the face of the other player with a caption that would say, 'Canceled by order of the Rapture Council'. There were corpses of people that must've been dead over the war or a riot with foam fingers and triangle flags scattered about. Possible guess, fans that were at the right place at the wrong time, most likely when the Civil War went ugly. Seeing this, the group was horrified at the site.

Starfire: "Oh… These poor people. They come here to be entertained, yet instead they get tortured to death."

Raven pattered her on the shoulder and told her that it inevitable.

Raven: "There's nothing we could do. Right now, we just need to move on."

Robin checked the area and realized that it might take them some time in moving around. They need to make it quick and the only way is in front of them.

Robin: "This will take forever to find the security station. We need to hurry and return to Arcadia before Danny finds out we're here. Let's get into the ticket counter and find a passage around here. Maybe there's a map of the stadium too if we're lucky."

The group soon headed down to the ticket counter and entered the employee's only door. By entering it, they could see that it was an office complex with multiple desks to count money and tickets while taking inventory on other necessities. Course, the desks have been turned over and contents were spilled out, like it was cleaned out or something.

Beast Boy: "Man, look at this mess. You think they would clean up just for a little bit."

Cy crossed his arms and glared at the changeling.

Cyborg: "Really? Coming from the guy who never cleans his room in the Tower, that's an understatement."

BB turned to him and was annoyed by that statement.

Beast Boy: "Hey! I'm only stating the obvious. At least they would've had the decency to clean up around here."

Cy slapped him in the back of his head as Robin went ahead to find something of importance. The group soon spread out and searched for a doorway where they can continue. Yet Beast Boy was still annoyed and didn't know how to find that switch to unlock the exit out of the Farmer's Market.

Beast Boy: "Seriously! How are we going to find this override switch? This place is so huge on the outside! Judging by the inside, it could take us hours, let alone days. How are we going to find it quick."

Raven thought of that too and couldn't help but to agree with him.

Raven: "I can't believe I am saying this, but Beast Boy has a point. This stadium is pretty huge and we can't simply find this switch on a whim. As far as I'm concerned, we're pretty much stuck here for a long time."

Robin heard the complaints and get where they're going. With the size of this place, it would take them days to find and they don't have time, considering they need to return to Arcadia to help Langford with the formula and save LM from the hands of Cohen. They need a quick an effective way in getting to where they need to go, and fast. Searching around the area, he noticed another Vox recorder on a vacant desk. He got curious and decided to look into it. Hitting play, he could hear the Scottish voice of McDonough complaining about the switch issue and resolving it.

'I just don't get it. Ryan's orders are to set up these override switches to unlock these security doors from different sections of the city. It's just the locations he want those switches is what bothers me. One of them is here in Arcadia's Farmers Market. I know that they need and emergency lockdown system to keep the food safe and preserved, but why put the override switch within the station, next to the managers office. It's right at the opposite end of the stadium. How can anyone want to place the switch there of all places. It's baffling! Especially since there is a long walk to get there. Thankfully, trying to get around the stadium wouldn't be a hassle. Around the stadium is a maintenance tram that helps transfer employees, staff, maintenance workers, and players around easily without having the patrons interfering. A quick and effective way in getting to where you need to go, especially when you need to reach the switch. Honestly, I feel bloody sorry for the poor bastard who would be in charge of override switch. Could be a long walk to the stadium for all I know.'

The player stopped as Robin listened to the message. Hearing the alternative route, he gave it a bit of thought.

Robin: "Hmm… Maybe it won't take too long after all."

Everyone heard him and turned to see what he's talking about.

Cyborg: "Say that again, Rob."

He turned to the group and told them what he discovered.

Robin: "I think I found a way to get to the switch quicker. There is a maintenance railway located within the stadium. If we find it, we can take it straight to the main office where the security station is located."

The group heard that and was still a little concerned about it.

Raven: "And where is this railway system? It's not like it's easy to find."

Robin thought of that and knew she has a point. Just cause he knows of a way to get there doesn't mean he knows where it is.

Robin: "Then it's best we start finding one of the entrance to one of these underground trams. Otherwise, it would be a long walk from here."

Before anyone could start moving, they could here a voice from the outside.

"Sheesh, what a day. I'm going to need a smoke."

Hearing that, Robin turned to the team to told them to find a place to be discrete.

Robin: "Hide!"

Soon enough, everyone separated into different directions and hid wherever possible. Just then, a splicer athlete walked into the office and surveyed the area with his carbine in one arm. Seeing no one around, he took a sigh in relief and entered the office.

"Good. No one's around. Now I can smoke in peace."

Walking down, he didn't notice any of the Titans hiding in different spots wherever they can. Robin was hiding behind on the desks, with multiple disks in his hand, treating them like cards. Starfire was floating close to the ceiling, keeping herself completely still while Raven poked her head out of a small portal she created. Cyborg and Terra hid in a close with the door partially opened, with Cy arming his cannon that was giving out a low hum. And Beast Boy took the form of a mouse; scurrying around the desk the splicer was at. They were all in position and were waiting until either the splicer leaves or if they get spotted. The splicer was soon sitting on a swivel chair, taking a cigarette out of his pocket and lit it with his Incinerate Plasmid to get himself a bit of a smoking break. Puffing on his cigarette, he blow out some smoke through his nose and was pleased with his break.

"Aw… That hits the spot…"

The group stood by, waiting until he leaves or if he spotted one of them. Jus then, they could hear something on the short-wave radio that he has on his side.

"Clark! You there? Where the Hell are you? You were suppose to be at Weapons and Plasmids checking inventory."

Clark gave a deep sigh as his moment was ruined and took out the radio to contact back.

"Oi! I hear ya! I was on the way there, but you know my cravings. Had to take a pit stop and catch a puff. You catch my drift?"

"Well put that smoke down and get to Weapons immediately. Danny is greatly upset over the group that he sent failing to dispose of those parasites. That damn bastard's paranoid at the fact that they might come in here and override the security in the Market. We need to have everything present and accounted for incase those brats show themselves."

"Yeah, yeah… I'm on my way. Just let me find out where I am and I'll be there when I'm done with my break."

"And hurry it up, will ya?! If Danny finds out you're smoking again, he's going to tear your fucking throat out!"

"Pft… Whatever…"

He soon turned off the radio and digged into his pocket to take out some kind of piece of paper.

"Honestly, do these assholes know how long walking down there will take? It could take hours walking around this damn coliseum. Thank god there's a quicker way to get there."

He soon placed it on the table and opened the paper up. Robin noticed what he's doing and peeked up to see what the splicer was looking at. It was then he noticed what looks like schematics of the entire coliseum, right down to the underground railway that goes around the stadium.

"Let's see… Weapons… Weapons… That's got to be where Equipment storage is, right? Going to be a long walk from here. But if I take the elevator where the restaurant is located close by and use the railway from there, I might be able to reach it in time."

Seeing the map, he knew that it's the only way in finding the place. Looking up to see Star and Rae looking at what he's looking at, he made a gesture to them to get the map and radio. The two girls looked to Robin giving out the gestures and knew what he wants them to do. With both hands out, Raven waved them and both the map and the radio were engulfed in black energy as they both levitated up to her. The splicer noticed that and was a little confused.

"What the…?"

He looked up to the two objects floating upwards and noticed the alien and telepath above him on the ceiling. Seeing that, he panicked and got his carbine out.

"Shit! Parasites!"

He took aim and was about to fire. But he didn't expect something small growing under his desk and turned it over. That's when a gorilla came out and roared, pounding his chest and giving the athlete quite a shock.

"Fuck!"

He tried to fire on him instead, but Cy came out of the closet and fired his blaster at him, knocking the weapon off his hand. This gave BB the chance in backhanding him and knocked him off his feet and sends him flying to the wall, taking out some furniture along the way. He soon hit the wall and was dazed, trying to regain some form on consciousness. Seeing the team surrounding him, he had to make an escape and was about to teleport to safety to warn someone. But just as he was going red, a bunch of disks came out of the blue and hit him, turning him into a huge block of ice, freezing him completely. The moment he was taken care of, Robin approached the iced splicer and patted him on the help.

Robin: "Thanks for the map. Really appreciate it."

He soon turned to the telepath and gesture her to give the map to him. She did and levitates the paper to him. When he got it, he opened it up and looked at the map to see if they can get to where they need to be. Cy soon joined him and asked if this can help.

Cyborg: "So… You think this map can help us with our objective?"

Robin looked to the map and was searching for a way to get to the switch.

Robin: "Well, that splicer knows how to get around easily. No doubt, he and a select few must've have these maps to move around the arena without wasting their time. We can use this to help use get to the office and hit the switch to get us out of the Market. No problem. Now let's see… The splicer said that there is an entrance to the transit located in some restaurant, right. So that has to be…"

Looking for the office/ticketing area, he spotted where they are and the restaurant that they need to head down to. That's when he noticed it and pointed right at it.

Robin: "There! Looks like there's a restaurant close by called, The Satyr Lounge. Its location is deep in the kitchen and it's not far from where we are. If we take the back room that connects between the ticketing office and the gift shop, we might be able to take a shortcut to the restaurant."

The others heard him and were a little iffy about getting there.

Raven: "And what happens when we run in to those freaks? You know the place is crawling with them."

Rob got the message and told her that they'll focus on one thing at a time.

Robin: "Let's worry about getting to the tram first before worrying about the splicers. Besides, they don't know we're already in their base. As long as we have the element of surprise, we might be able to move in undetected. Now come on, the backroom isn't far."

So he walked past them and looked to the connected backroom that can help them get by quicker. The team soon followed as they walked down the offices to find their shortcut. After a bit of a walk, they noticed a door of some kind with the label on it that says, 'Storage'. Seeing this, they knew this was the right location. Rob tried to turned the knob to open the door, but it wouldn't budge as it looked to be locked from the other side or something. Letting go, he knew that it was too easy.

Robin: "Looks like we got ourselves another locked door. This is starting to become a recurring theme around here. There's got to be a way in opening it from the other side."

Looking around, he spotted a vent that they might go to the other side, but it was small for no one to get through, other then a mouse or fly. He soon looked to Beast Boy and asked if he can handle this one.

Robin: "Beast Boy, think you can…"

Gesturing to take the vent, BB looked to it and knew what he was referring to.

Beast Boy: "No prob, Rob. I'm way ahead of you."

So he started to turn into a fly and buzzed right into the vent, flying down and taking a left at the T-junction, he made it out and entered the backroom storage. Landing on the ground, he changed back and surveyed the area incase there were splicers around. Thankfully, there were none, but he soon saw something that horrified him. There appears to be a lone desk with someone sitting on it. That someone was long since deceased as there was a pistol dangling at his prone fingers and a hole at the side of his head, with flies buzzing around it. Seeing that sight really disgust him and turned away trying not to throw up his own vomit.

Beast Boy: "Okay… Now I know why it was locked from the outside. Someone was trying to hide. Looks like the poor guy couldn't take it and end his life."

Looking for the door, he spotted it; only it was blocked by multiple metal shelves and plywood. Most obviously something to do with the guy barricading himself. Sighing, he approached the door and called the team out, letting him know that he got it.

Beast Boy: "Hang on dudes! I'm going to clear the way."

He soon turned into a gorilla and slowly started to remove the barricade bit by bit.

---

On the other side, the team heard him while the Hybrid told him to move it.

Cyborg: "Well, you best better hurry up. We don't know if more of those spliced up sports starts would come out."

Just as he said that, they could hear voices from close by.

"Can't believe that we have to find this bastard. The nerve of him. Can this guy stop with smoking his heart out? What was he doing anyway?"

"Clark was suppose to get to weapons to check on inventory. No doubt he was winded after all that walking and needed to smoke to get by."

"Well, he should've just took that tram and be done with it. Don't stop and do a little puff."

"I'm sure that's what he was thinking about. But he's always too addicted, no doubt about it. C'mon, let's check this ticketing office. I'm sure that's where he's hanging out when he needs a smoke."

The group heard that and realized that Cy spoke to soon.

Raven: "Speak of the devil."

They soon started to arm themselves and pointed to where the splicers were going to come out. Rob soon told Beast Boy to pick up the pace.

Robin: "Better hurry, Beast Boy! We're about to have some company coming."

---

BB heard that and hurried it up.

Beast Boy: "I'm on it!"

He quickly started to remove the pieces to try and open the door.

---

Meanwhile, with the team, they were holding their ground as they can see two sets of shadows coming through the window. They kept their footing, hoping the worse won't come. The two splicers were approaching the door and the team was about to attack. But then, the door opened up and Beast Boy came out of it.

Beast Boy: "Hey! Get in! Hurry!"

Robin turned to Beast Boy and was relieved that he was able to get them in. And just in time too. The splicers were about to come in. The leader soon turned to the others and told them to move.

Robin: "Titans, inside now!"

The group quickly ran into the backroom as Beast Boy closed the door. The moment they were gone, the two splicers stepped in and entered the office. Looking around, they wondered if he was around. But then, they spotted Clark in a block of frozen ice.

"The Hell..?"

They soon rushed to him to check and see if he was all right. One of the splicers tapped on the ice and checked to see if he was alive.

"Well, it does look like he's alive. He's just frozen solid in all that ice. Wonder what happened? Did Walter froze him with a Winter Blast or something."

The other splicer looked at the ice and noticed that something was very different.

"Naw… That's impossible. He should've turned into a sculpture by now, not a block of ice. Something doesn't feel right…"

That's when the body started to glow bright and the ice started to melt. The two saw that and realized that Clark is about to come out.

"Ah shit! It looks like he's getting angry! Get back!"

The two quickly fallback and hid behind the desks. Soon after, the ice started to melt and crack as the splicer was burning his prison up. In a matter of seconds, the ice exploded and scatter into shards, with Clark giving out a scream in agony. He landed on the ground with one sheet and panted, with his teeth chattering a bit. The two got out of cover and saw their comrade a bit frozen. They soon approach him and check to see if he was all right.

"Hey! You okay, Clark? You were frozen solid in that ice cube."

The splicer lifts up his hand on his shoulder to comfort him, but he swiped it off and told them what happened.

"I'm fine! Get off me! Where are those bastards?! Where are they?! When I find them…"

The two looked to each other and were confused about what happened. So they try to calm him down as much as they could.

"Whoa, whoa! Calm down. You're still alive, so far."

"Yeah! What are you talking about? Who attacked you?"

Clark told them straight away on who did it to him.

"Isn't it fucking obvious? It's those parasites! They are already in the stadium!"

The two heard that and realized that they are in trouble.

"Shit! That's not good. Radio Wilkins! Tell him that we have some uninvited guests."

---

In the backroom that connects between the office and the gift shop, the team made their journey down the place and couldn't believe how big it is. It was like a warehouse filled with nick knacks and supplies for the stadium. Course, they have to maneuver around the place as most of the metal shelves were toppled and the items were strewn across the floor. Going around, they need to find the door that leads back out to the gift shop and then head to the restaurant where the entrance to the tram system is located. Going under the tilted shelve, Cy surveyed the area with his flashlight and was a little annoyed.

Cyborg: "Man… This place is like a maze. Never thought that a small storage connecting between the office and the gift shop could be this massive."

Raven listened in and came up with a proper conclusion.

Raven: "Hmm… Guess here in Rapture, you have to go big. It could explain everything around this city."

Robin ignored them and told them to keep going.

Robin: "Keep moving. That exit has to be around here somewhere."

The group kept on walking and maneuvering through the mess until they noticed something behind the tilted shelf Going under one of the shelves, they noticed the exit.

Robin: "There! That must be the exit. We're already half way there. Be careful though, who knows what's on the other side."

Robin walked ahead and opened the double doors, letting the team in. Once they left the backroom, they could tell that they are in the gift shop. There are racks or shirts and uniforms and trinkets of plushies, caps, banisters and footballs on shelves. Posters were placed on the wall, mostly with Danny's face on it. And a long desk with rows of cash registers to pay for all these goods. However, the place was in shambles with the shirts and uniforms collecting mildew, caps and merchandising scattered about, posters peeling, and registers toppled and opened, like they were swindled. Seeing the place, Beast Boy couldn't help but to notice Danny's face pretty much everywhere.

Beast Boy: "Sheesh… And I thought Atlas has an inflated ego. Er! I mean the robotic Atlas Cy faced, not the guy that needs our help here."

Robin looked back and got what he was saying.

Robin: "Yeah. We know."

Robin soon got the map they took from the splicer out and check to see where they need to go next.

Robin: "Now, according to this map, the Satyr Restaurant is located close to this gift shop. We just need to pass the gate and we'll be there. Just as long as we don't run into any trouble…"

But as he said that, he heard the speakers and the sound of Danny echoed all throughout the halls.

Danny Wilkins: "Attention all Rapture Raiders! Those parasites that killed my uncle are in our territory! They are planning to eliminate me! I want everyone on high alert! We are trained for this! We cannot loose to a few newcomers! As for you, you 'Teen Titans' as Ryan called you; you have made a terrible choice in coming here. You think you can scare me? You think you can take me on after disposing my old man? Well think again! I'm just as tough as my uncle and you will regret it when you take on the MVP of the league. Come and find me! I will have you know when someone tries to invade our turf… WE RAID!"

The speakers were soon cut off as the team realized that they have been made.

Beast Boy: "Well, so much for the element of surprise. How did they know we're here?"

Terra then remembered the splicer that was put on ice and told everyone about it.

Terra: "Maybe it was the splicer that was iced we left alive. Should've took him out when we had a chance."

Robin sighed and decided to keep on pushing.

Robin: "It doesn't matter. Right now we need to head to that restaurant and get to the underground tram system to get to that office where the switch is located. Let's go!"

They all decided to make it quick and run to the exit of the gift shop. But then the doors opened up and a small group of splicers came out of it and blocked there path.

"There! Those are the parasite intruders! Take 'em down!"

The pointed their rifles at them and begin firing. Reacting to that, Raven raised her hands up and a black wall engulfed in front of them and deflected the bullets. The others got back as Rae was in the front, holding on with her magic.

Cyborg: "Yelp, guess this was bound to happen."

He soon armed his cannon and waited until the group ran out of bullets. By the time they start to reload, the telepath dropped her shield and he started to fire, taking them down one by one. Each blast pushed them to the wall and hit the wall, knocking them out while the shirts draped over them. Once that was taken care of, the team ran out of the exit and returned to the grand halls of the stadium. They kept on running to the right where this restaurant was suppose to be and hope they don't run into more trouble. But then, that trouble came at the sound of beeping and was fast approaching. That's when the security drones came from where they are heading to and was on the assault with tazers and machine guns. They all separate and hid behind the pillars as a means of covering. But they knew that they won't go away as they have to get through those defenses. Rob turned to the girls and told them to handle this.

Robin: "Keep those drones busy while we make a mad dash towards the restaurant."

Star and Rae heard him and turned to him with a nod. So the two took off into the air and begin their attack. Raven formed a black shield and deflected the bullets and electric bolts as Starfire flew over her and flung as many star bolts as possible. While some of them were shot down, the rest started to scatter and the girls were in pursuit. When they were handling the air forces, Rob told the others to keep moving.

Robin: "All right, let's get going before more of them show up."

So they got out of cover and continued on running, as the Tamaranean and the telepath were busy handling the remaining sentry bots. When they were reaching their destination, they were immediately stopped by bullets from the side. Quickly, the took cover behind some turned over tables and a pillar that fell to the side and looked up to see what they're up against. Turns out, there were more athlete splicers preventing the team from reaching the underground tram.

"Give it up, rookies. You have nowhere to run to."

They kept on firing, hoping to take one of them down. Beast Boy peeked up to see them trying to kill them and was annoyed.

Beast Boy: "Great… Just great! We got more of those damn splicers coming and ruining our lives."

Cy then looked back up to see the girls preoccupied with the remaining security bots that were buzzing about and trying to take them out while protecting themselves from the bullets the electricity.

Cyborg: "Not to mention our air support is a little preoccupied. How are we going to take down that many?"

Terra heard that and looked up to see how to handle this situation. That's when she noticed the ceiling over their heads where the group was over. Looking at this, she came up with a plan.

Terra: "I think I know how to handle this. But it could be a bit…extreme."

Hearing this, Robin turned to her and decided trust her.

Robin: "Do it! Now!"

Terra nodded and decided to pull it off.

Terra: "Okay! You all better back up when I pull it off."

With that, she lifted her hands up and they started to glow yellow. Just then, the ground started to shake as the ceiling started to crack from above. The group held on and didn't know what was going on. That's when one of them saw the ceiling cracking and was about to break.

"Oh shit! Fallback! The ceiling is about to cave in!"

The group soon ran away back out of the field as the ceiling cracked and started to collapse. The team saw this too and decided to fallback as well.

Robin: "Everyone, hit the deck!"

They all soon run back as Terra let go of her powers and joined them. In a matter of moments, the ceiling broke apart and collapsed to the ground, causing the whole gate entrance to cave in. Smoke billowed out from the fall and nearly cover the floor. At the same time, the girls wrapped up on their task and cleared the sky from pesky drones as Star put her hands together and created a beam to take out the last few. When the two heard the collapse, they turned to see the gate entrance caved in and the boys and the Earth bender on the ground. That caused a bit of a panic as Star hurried to Rob's aid.

Starfire: "Robin!"

She flew down to go check on him as Raven followed suit. Once they were on the ground, the leader slowly got up and shook his head from the last attack. Star soon joined him and checked on him.

Starfire: "Are you unharmed?"

Robin coughed a little and looked up to the Tamaranean, knowing the worry on her face. He soon smiled and assured her that he's fine.

Robin: "It's okay, Star. I'm all right. Just needed a breather is all."

The rest of the team slowly recovered and looked back to see the debris blocking the gate. BB rubbed the back of his head and didn't think his friend had it in her.

Beast Boy: "Whoa… Didn't think that Terra went that far. Hope no one was hurt."

Raven approached him and pick him up and reminded him of two certain things.

Raven: "Uh… Beast Boy? They are splicers. They are no longer human. Why would we care if they lived or not? And besides, have you forgotten of what Terra did to us? When she was Slade's apprentice?"

The changeling remembered that part and couldn't help but to shutter at the thought of it.

Beast Boy: "Don't remind me."

Robin looked at the cave in at the gate and gave a bit of a brief sigh.

Robin: "Either way, at least it would give us time to reach the restaurant and get to the underground tram beneath it. Let us hurry."

They all soon left the mess behind and heard down to the where the restaurant was. As they were running, the leader noticed something in the distance and was getting closer. It was a lit sign that depicts a woman enjoying her drink while behind her is a waiter in a red uniform, but has horns on his head. There is sign that says, 'The Satyr' with the side that has 'Lounge' with letters in black circles that were placed in a column next to the waiter and functioning spotlights that sway back and forth. Seeing that sign, no doubt that it was the place they were looking for.

"That's it! That's the restaurant we're looking for. Let's get in there!"

They all hurried to the restaurant in hopes of getting to the tram on time. But as they were getting close, some spotlights appeared and nearly blinded them. That's when they heard a voice coming from the other end.

"There! Those are the parasites! They are trying to get into the tram! Fire!"

Just then, gunshots were heard as bullets whizzed on by. They all immediately stopped and had to get into cover.

Robin: "Ambush! Get into cover!"

They soon split up and got into cover with whatever's protectable. As they were all getting protected, the group had to think of a way to get through that.

Raven: "Well, this was expected to happen. Were they guarding the restaurant? Are they protecting the specials?"

Robin groaned and had to figure something out.

Robin: "Either way, they are between us and the tram. We need to see what we're up against to see if we can get through it. Beast Boy! Go ahead and check to see what we're up against."

BB heard that and got the message.

Beast Boy: "Quick scouting. Got it."

The changeling soon turned into a fly in the wall and buzzed towards the other side, checking on the situation. The group waited to see when he would get back. In about a few moments he returned to them and changed back, taking a breather from nearly getting killed. Rob looked to him and asked what happened.

Robin: "Well…? What are we up against?"

BB took a breather and explained to him the situation.

Beast Boy: "Not good. Those guys are armed to the teeth. Not only to they have rifles and pistols, but also those turrets. There's no way we can get through that."

Robin gave it a bit of thought and came up with an idea.

Robin: "Maybe… But maybe we can get them by surprise."

He soon turned to Rae and asked for a favor.

Robin: "Raven!"

The telepath heard her name and turned to him, knowing what he wants.

Raven: "I am on it. Just want you to be ready when we do this."

Robin nodded and got multiple birdarangs out.

Robin: "Oh, we're ready."

---

Inside the restaurant, all the splicers were in a holding position as they had their carbines, sniper rifles, Tommy guns, and pistols out on a bunch of turned over tables with machine gun turrets set up at the entrance. They were able to cease-fire as the team didn't show themselves completely. One of them was waiting too long and was getting impatient.

"What the hell is taking these assholes so long? They haven't gotten out of cover since we ambushed them. Did they just flee?"

The other splicer grunted and didn't think that was possible.

"Even if it were the case, we would've seen them leave when we were firing at them. Not to mention all the others team members didn't get word of them coming to their posts. They might be planning something back there. Wonder what?"

As he was talking about it, a black portal appeared on the floor and a few people were rising up. Those were the Titans as Raven used her portal to transport them into the restaurant. Once they rose up, that's when Robin told the splicer on the plan.

Robin: "I don't know… Why don't we tell you the plan face to face?"

The two heard him and they and the others turned to see the group standing behind them. And with the turrets just looked in the front and not the back, they were all caught by surprise.

"Shit! They're here! Kill them! Kill them now!"

They all pointed their weapons at them and were about to fire. However, the Titans attacked first.

Robin: "Too slow!"

So they all went on the assault, with Robin throwing all the birdarangs at them, knocking their weapons off their hands. Then Cyborg, Starfire, and Raven used their range weapons and powers to take them down. That soon followed by Terra to cover their bodies with rock as it burst through the tiled floor and encased them with the exception of their heads. Once it was all done, the group relaxed and was glad that was taken care of.

Terra: "Finally! Some breathing room. That was way too easy."

Rae soon approached her and told her that it wasn't over.

Raven: "Just because it was easy, doesn't mean it's over. More will come here soon and when they do, we won't stand a chance."

Robin nodded and decided to get going.

Robin: "Which means we need to get to the underground tram system and reach the office as soon as we could. Now according to the map, it says that the entrance to the place is located in the kitchen. Let's get there."

So they turned and headed to the kitchen, which is where it was located in the back. As they were walking, they notice something off about the place. Sure it looked like a restaurant with fancy tables, tiles, elegant ceiling with chandeliers, and mural walls that are decked with people having a good time. But there appears to be multiple crates containing something, some of which had handprints on the sides, with one of them opened to reveal bibles and crucifixes. Seeing them, the group could tell what this restaurant was being used for.

Cyborg: "Looks like those guards weren't there for us. If I were to guess, they were using this restaurant as one of the outposts to transfer smuggler goodies."

Raven: "Guess that makes sense. Danny's uncle was a smuggler when he was working for Fontaine. No doubt that the nephew was helping him in transferring illegal items underneath Ryan's nose from the fisheries to here."

Starfire: "Or keeping them for himself. It would seem that the one Danny Wilkins was surviving just like everyone else. And would do anything in his power to save and protect himself."

Robin listened to all of this and decided to keep on moving.

Robin: "Those are some really good assumptions. However, we don't know if what happened was true or not. Right now, our focus is the override. We have to reach it and get ourselves out of the market as soon as we could."

As they were walking, they noticed the double doors next to the bar that was filled with liquor. It's no doubt that they found the kitchen as they opened the door, taking a good whiff at the horrible odor. Beast Boy covered his nose and couldn't take the smell anymore.

Beast Boy: "Argh! What's that smell?! It's like someone defecated in there."

Raven thought about it and knew what it was.

Raven: "Possible guess, the kitchen used to have fresh food, but now it's all spoiled. Guess no one is interested in fresh food to go with the scraps instead."

BB peered his eyes to Rae and was still holding his nose.

Beast Boy: "Seriously? This place smells much worse then the Farmer's Market. How could they live like this?"

Robin ignored his complaints and told everyone to keep on going.

Robin: "Let's go. We're almost there."

So they walked into the kitchen in search of the secret entrance where the tram is located. Passing rows of stoves, sinks, ovens, and cutting boards, they could tell that whatever was happening was stopped when either war broke out or a lockdown took place long ago. It's as if time stood still. Yet they couldn't find the entryway underground.

Terra: "So, any idea what the underground entrance should look like. I mean there should be something that can help us know where to start."

Robin thought about it and remembered about his teacher.

Robin: "The underground entrance shouldn't be in the open. It needs to be kept a secret from the public. I know because Batman has plenty of secret entrances all over where he lives and works to get into the Bat Cave. So there has to be one somewhere."

He looked around and noticed something off. There was a pantry room that was partly opened, but there were smuggler crates around it that looked like they came out of it. Curious, he walked into the room to go and see what's going on. Opening the door, he could tell that this looked like an ordinary pantry filled with spices and wilting herbs. But he knew that there's something that would be out of the ordinary. The team peeked their heads and wondered what he is up to. After looking around, the leader noticed what look like a box of mash potatoes mix, but it was close to the edge. Curious, he approached the box and tried to pull it. When he did that, it folded to one side and noticed a button behind it. Seeing this, he could tell that he found what he was looking for.

Robin: "Well, well, well… What do we have here?"

So he pushed the button and waited for something to happen. That's when the back wall with shelves of food opened up and showed a lower staircase that descended downward. Seeing this, he knew that they found what they're looking for.

Robin: "Bingo."

The Terra and Starfire approached him and was impressed by his detective skills.

Starfire: "Excellent work, friend Robin. That was an amazing feat of detective work. Though I was wondering… You said that your master Batman has a life outside of super hero business. Tell me, who is Batman's identity?"

Rob turned to her and gave a bit of a smirk.

Robin: "Sorry… That's top secret."

The group was about to head down there to see if the staircase can take them down. But as they were about to leave, Beast Boy heard a cackling on the radio and turned to see a short wave communicator on one of the crates with the splicer talking on it.

"Raider Eight. Be on the look out for a bunch of parasites. Danny got word that they are already in the stadium. We must be on high alert incase they take the underground tram tunnels." … "Raider Eight, are you there?" … "Do you hear me? Please respond." … "Damn it… All Raiders, Raider Eight isn't responding to my message. Go in and investigate. Probably sleeping on the job for all I know."

The Changeling listened to the radio and realized that they could be in for some serious trouble.

Beast Boy: "Uh… Guys? I think we're going to get some company here!"

The team got the message and knew that they could be in a bit of trouble.

Cyborg: "If they find out that we disposed of their friends, we'll be in for a serious fight in our hands."

Hearing that, Robin knew that they need to stall them until they find the tram underground. Turning to the remaining three, he told them on what to do.

Robin: "Cyborg, Beast Boy, Raven, return to the restaurant entrance and hold the splicers at bay. We'll reach the station and let you know when we get there."

Cy heard that and looked down to the two, telling them to move.

Cyborg: "BB, Rae, let's go!"

So that three turned around and backtrack to the entrance. The leader soon looked to the rest and told them to come with him.

Robin: "Star, Terra, you're with me. We need to head to the tram station now before reinforcements arrive."

So the other half headed down the stairs and was reaching the elevator.

---

In the restaurant, the first half headed back to the entrance and had to figure out a way in defending it before leaving for the underground tram. Once they made it, they could already see shadows of splicers heading town there and they were in a hurry.

"The outpost isn't far, boys! Just need to enter this restaurant."

Beast Boy could heard them and was getting scared.

Beast Boy: "Sounds like the reinforcements have arrived!"

Cy armed his cannon and was ready to take them on.

Cyborg: "We have to stall them long enough until Robin and the others get to the elevator. Let's hope what we got would stall them."

Raven heard that and thought of a way to hold them off. Turning to the side of the entrance, she could see a switch that could lock the gate completely. Seeing the shadows getting closer, she decided to pull this off. Getting her hand up to it, she encased it in her black magic and pulled the lever down before ripping it out of the source. That's when a metal gate started to lower and close off completely, moments before the splicers made their arrival. The three soon heard the splicers noticing the gate closed and were a bit upset on that end.

"Hey! What's the big idea?! Why's this gate is closed?! Open up!"

The two boys looked on and didn't think that Rae could do that.

Cyborg: "Huh… That worked."

The telepath leaned to the side and gave a bit of a smirk.

Raven: "Looks like this restaurant is closed for business."

The Changeling crossed his arms and was glad that was over with.

Beast Boy: "Well, it's better then facing them head on. Great thinking girl!"

Rae rubbed the back of her head and chuckled a bit.

Raven: "What can I say? The best offense is a good defense.

Cy though looked to the gate and could tell that this is a temporary fix.

Cyborg: "Nice job, Rae. But that's short lived. They will come in and we need to be ready. Let's just hope that the others could find the elevator."

He soon heard some sizzling and noticed the middle of the gate was starting to heat up as one of the splicers used the incinerate to open a hole. Seeing that, he knew that this was going to be bad.

Cyborg: "And they better hurry up soon, otherwise we could be dealing with a lot of those loons on the other side."

---

Meanwhile, Robin, Starfire and Terra were running down the steps, hoping to find the station. After a much deeper descend, they realized that they have gone down far enough.

Terra: "Man…This place is deeper then we thought. How far down can we get to reach the place?"

Robin soon spotted what appears to be a light at the end of the tunnel and decided to keep pushing.

Robin: "Wherever these stairs are taking us, we are reaching the end. Be prepared for what's going to come out on the other side."

So the group reached the bottom of the steps and were nearly blinded by the light. By the time they reached the end, they stopped with their mouths agape and couldn't believe what they were seeing. They were in what appeared to be a subway station of some kind, like those of an old school New York system, filled with crates and supplies. Right in front of them, they could see a tram that is an open long cart with the railing on the ceiling and that a pole with multiple wheels is attached to. Seeing that, they realized that they finally made it to the tram.

Terra: "Yelp! Looks like we found what we're looking for."

Robin soon noticed that they are not alone as a small batch of splicer athletes were removing crates off the tram an onto the station, using the Telekinesis plasmids to levitate the boxes, light and heavy. Seeing this, he knew that it wasn't going to be easy.

Robin: "Yeah… And it looks like we have company."

One of the Splicers heard this and turned to see the three Titans entering the station. Blinking, he reacted by getting his pistol out and warned the others.

"Ah Crap! It's the parasites! Take them down!"

He soon pulled the trigger and fired right at them. They all immediately split up and went into cover. The rest of the splicers soon joined him and went on ahead with killing them with whatever they have. Using carbines and Tommy guns, they empty their guns with their bullets and hoping one of them managed kill the three. As they were firing, Robin, Star, and Terra where behind the Smuggler's crates and knew that this won't be easy.

Terra: "And now we have to get past these goons. This mission keeps getting better."

Robin soon ignored her and got his communicator out, contacting Cyborg of the situation.

Robin: "Cy, we found the tram station with a tram waiting for us. But we run in to some splicers."

---

Robin: "We're going to need to clear the station first before we could get on that tram. Hold off your end while we take care of ours."

Cyborg heard Rob's message through his onboard computer and knew that things aren't working well on their end. But he has to be positive and told him to handle it.

Cyborg: "No problem, Robin. We'll hold the fort until you're ready. We have everything under control."

He soon turned off the comm. and looked back at their own situation.

Cyborg: "Yeah… Under control my ass."

Looking on, he could see that the gate was burning in the middle and was going to melt away. The group looked on and was a little concerned about it.

Beast Boy: "So… How long before they can break through the gate?"

Raven looked at the gate too and could tell that they don't have the time needed.

Raven: "My guess, not long enough. And we don't know how many are behind that gate. I think the best option is to fallback and return to the others."

Cy heard her and turned to her and tell her that won't do.

Cyborg: "Oh, no! That's not going to happen! If we flee, they will follow. And when they do that, they are going to cause a lot of problems for all of us. We need to bring them down before we can retreat."

Rae turned to him and asked how they are going to hold them off.

Raven: "And how exactly are we going to fight them? It's three of us vs. who knows how many are through that door."

Cy gave it a bit of thought and looked around to see what they can use to defend themselves. Looking around, he spotted some unused turrets along with a few that are still active from when they were approaching the restaurant. That's when he came up with an idea.

Cyborg: "Simple… We use their own weapons against them."

He soon approached one of the active turrets and started to reprogram it. The two looked to each other as BB reminded him of the one setback.

Beast Boy: "Uh… That's sound good and all. But aren't you forgetting something? LM has that hack tool to make them friendly. And the last time I checked, he's trapped in Fort Frolic, trying to survive like us."

Cy looked back to him and gave the changeling a smirk.

Cyborg: "Oh yeah? Well LM isn't the only one that can bypass security. And since this stuff is a bit man made and outdated, it will be easy. Just get those turrets there to the restaurant entrance so I can reprogram them as well. Now hurry! Time is short!"

So he worked hard on hacking into the turrets his way as the two started to move the ones that are off to their proper positions.

---

At the same time, Robin, Starfire, and Terra were in cover as the splicers were using everything in their arsenal to mow them down. Terra looked at the situation and thought that maybe they needed a bit of help.

Terra: "You know, as much as we can handle this, I do believe that we could've used a little back up from the start. Just so we have advantage is all."

Robin heard that and had no other option.

Robin: "Cyborg, Raven, and Beast Boy have a job to do as much as us. And ours is to secure that tram to take us to the override switch. We need to clear the way first if we can ever reach it. Starfire, air support! Terra and I will handle the ground. Go!"

So Star lifted up and charged her star bolts, firing right at the ground in the front and taking out their weapons. Once they are unarmed, Robin and Terra jumped over their cover and run towards them. The group in the front soon took out their bats, clubs, and pipes and hockey sticks and charged in to fight. Robin soon took his Bo staff out and spin it for a brawl while Terra managed to grab a crowbar from a crate while running and used it for her weapon of choice. The two soon fend themselves as they dodged and avoided the swings from the first few splicers. Robin soon blocked one attack with his staff and held on for a bit before sweeping the leg to knock one of the hostiles down. He then used his staff as a pole vault and launched himself high in the air. While in the air, he took out some disks and threw it right at the group, causing them to explode and letting the splicers to scatter. Landing on the ground, Robin got his birdarangs out and threw them while spinning. Those birdarangs managed to knock a few down and trapped them in the walls.

With Terra, she managed to defend herself well as she blocked any attack from her side of splicers with the crow bar. She was soon blocking one splicer that has a cricket bat and held on for a brief moment. But it would be short lived as she can see some splicers that were going after her too. So she needed to go offensive and used all her might to push the one she was blocking and turned with her hand out and glowing yellow. That's when the ground in front of them cracked and turned into a deep pothole. The group didn't have time to react to that as they fall in and piled on top or each other. She soon turned back and managed to avoid the one swing from the splicer she was facing. She nearly tripped herself and almost went into the pot hole she created. But before he could make a recovery, she whacked him in the back of the head with her weapon and he got knocked out, falling right into the hole with the others. With them inside, she looked up to the ceiling and focused her power on that part. That ceiling soon cracked and plummeted into the hole, crushing and burying the splicers completely. Looking at her work, she was able to clear her end of the group.

As for Starfire, she was flinging her star bolts at those that remained. The splicers were firing at her with their weapons with some of them get knocked off their hands. They all soon went into cover and fired through there. But they need more then bullets to take her down as she was avoiding them with ease. So one of them came up with a plan and looked right at the red barrels filled with flammable liquid. Seeing that, he got his hand out and used his telekinesis to lift the barrels up with ease. He soon flings them and they flew right towards the Tamaranean. She soon noticed them and had to shoot them down before they could blow her up. With her eyes glowing, she fired her beams at them and they exploded on contact and in the air. The explosions nearly pushed her back, but she managed to recover and went back to fighting. But those barrels were just as diversion as she could see remaining splicers gathering their weapons and were about to fire back. But as they were going to attack, multiple silver balls came out of nowhere and exploded, causing them to go blind temporarily. That's when Robin and Terra arrived and knocked them all down with the melee weapons just to clear out the area. He soon looked right at the Tamaranean and gave her the thumbs up to let her know that everything is handled. Once she landed on the ground, the group joined in and was relieved that they took care of this.

Terra: "Okay… Got to admit, the three of us taking down this many splicers seemed more effective then having everyone together. It was quite effective."

Robin looked around the place and could see that they managed to take them all down and there were no splicers around.

Robin: "It looks like the area is secured. That's rather fortunate. Now let's secure the tram and be ready to depart. Let's hope the others are holding their own. Best better contact them."

He got his communicator out and contacted Cyborg to let him know of the news.

---

Before hand, a gang of splicers were at the entrance to the Satyr restaurant, all armed and ready to attack. A small group of them were using the Incinerate plasmid as they were trying to gain entrance to the restaurant. One of the splicers approached them and asked in a demanding voice what's the hold up.

"Come on! What's taking so long! Can't you guys melt that gate through?"

The splicers heard that and one of them turned and told him to be patience.

"Hold your horses, will ya? This gate is made of metal and it takes time for the metal to melt."

"Well, you better hurry up. If those parasites are in that restaurant, they have a direct way to Danny. Get a move on!"

So the group kept burning the gate as it started to melt away. Almost instantly, the gate started to fall through and become nothing but melted sludge. Once they were in the clear, that splicer turned to the other and showed that they did it.

"There! We're in! Happy now?!"

The other splicer heard that and was really pleased.

"Good… Everyone, move in! Get into that restaurant and find those bastards. They must be stopped!"

Before anyone could get into the place, another splicer noticed something and pointed to it.

"Hey! What's all that?"

He heard that and looked to see what he was referring to. That's when they noticed multiple turrets all lined up, half with bullets and half with rockets. The group looked on and was confused at the turrets that were lined up.

"What the… How did those things got there?"

"Hmm… Maybe they would be setting up the defenses for when the parasites arrive."

The other splicer turned to him and didn't think that was possible.

"If it's true, then why did they have to lock the gate? And where is the group? Something doesn't feel right."

He soon approached the turret and wondered who placed them there. But as he approached them, they all started to turn on and started to target him. He blinked and realized that they were turned on, and they are targeting him.

"Oh… Fuck me…"

Pretty soon, he was beginning to eat some lead and his inside went on the outside. The rest of the group saw it going down and realized what occurred.

"Shit! The turrets are against us! Everybody scatter!"

They immediately made a run for it and hid behind whatever's coverable. In the restaurant, Cy, Rae, and BB watched the show and was enjoying it."

Beast Boy: "Huh? What do you know, that actually worked! Who'd a thunk it?"

Raven: "Just hacking into those turrets without LM's hack tool, didn't think that would be possible."

Cy gave a smirk and let them know about his work.

Cyborg: "Hey, what can I say? I might not have a tool that can hack things, but I am one hell of a mechanic. That will keep them busy for a while."

He soon heard his onboard computer beeping and checked to see what it was. Turning it on, he could see Robin's face as he gave out the good news.

Robin: "Cyborg, we have secured the tram and are making our leave. You guys better head down here, cause we can't wait for you."

Cy heard that and relieved that they have a way out.

Cyborg: "Copy that, Rob. We are wrapping up here anyways. On our way down now."

He soon turned off the comm. and finished what he was saying.

Cyborg: "And just in time too. Those turrets might be holding them off, but it won't last for long. Let's fall back now while we have the chance."

The three soon turned around and headed back to the kitchen, where the secret entrance to the pantry is located. But as they were running, Beast Boy heard something and turned around to see what it was. That's when he noticed a lot of red mist appearing and gathering around certain spots. Seeing this, he knew that this was going to be short lived.

Beast Boy: "Uh, dude…? A bit too late for that now!"

Cy heard him and turned to see what appears to be the mist getting closer and closer together, forming into what he fears to be Houdini splicers.

Cyborg: "Move!"

The three ran into the kitchen just as the splicers made an appearance. When they materialized, the group of Houdini's looked around and they could see the Titans making a break into the kitchen. One of them pointed to it and told the others to follow them.

"There they are! There's the Parasites Danny talked about! After them!"

The group ran after them and threw fireballs right at them. They managed to avoid it as Raven used a shield to protect their backs. They managed to get out of the predicament and enter the pantry as they took the stairs down to the station.

---

Meanwhile, Robin, Starfire, and Terra were on the tram as they looked for a way to turn it on. Looking at the long stick that's attached to the tracks on the ceiling, Ter kicked it and was a little confused.

Terra: "You know, securing a tram to get us to where we need to be is easy. Trying to operate it is a whole different story."

Robin looked at the consol for the tram and finds it to be a bit retro. It is almost like it was created for a hybrid of a train and ship with levers on speed tracks, and the like and a emergency pulley to stop. Scratching his head, he could tell that it won't be easy to operate.

Robin: "You can say that again. With the giving tech they currently have, you think that they would've upgraded to something easier to managed. Now where is it that you have to turn it on?"

Looking at the console, he noticed that there was a key attached to the slot that was on standby. No doubt someone from the group they took out was using it for something. Out of curiosity, he got his hand to the key and started to turn it. By then, the tram came to life and the floodlight was turned on in the front to light the way. Seeing that, he smiled and knew that was over with.

Robin: "Huh… Well that was easy. Now we just need to wait for the others to come and-"

Before he could finish, they could hear a scream of a certain changeling from the distance. Listening to that, they knew that they were getting near.

Terra: "Sounds like they're not far."

As on cue, Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Raven reached the end of the steps and were making a mad dash to the tram.

Cyborg: "Hey! Get that thing moving. We have company behind us!"

The three heard that and realized that they need to hurry. Robin looked to the console and could see the lever to start speeding it. Grabbing onto it, he told the others to hurry.

Robin: "Get now quickly! The train is about to leave the station!"

Terra soon looked to the exit they just went through and decided to stall the threat. With her hand out, the ceiling over the exit started to shake and crack. The ceiling soon caved in and blocks the exit just so the splicers don't get near them.

Terra: "There! That will keep them busy while we make an escape."

The three managed to reach the tram as Beast Boy reminded her what was chasing them.

Beast Boy: "That's great and all, Terra. But maybe you have forgotten that the splicers that were chasing us were in fact, Houdini's!"

Terra heard that and realized the mistake she made.

Terra: "Oh… Yeah… Didn't know that till you said it."

Robin turned to see the red mist starting to appear and gather. So much so that he decided that they could leave now while they can.

Robin: "Time to go!"

He soon got the lever and pulled it up to increase the speed. Pretty soon, the tram started to move and left the station; around the time the Houdini Splicers begin appearing. The moment they left, Robin sighed and was glad that they were able to get out of there.

Robin: "Phew… That was too close for call. Let's hope they don't teleport on a moving tram."

Rae heard that and told him to shut it.

Raven: "Robin… Please… Don't say that… You know that saying that could lead to it happening right? Just tell us where we need to stop to get to the override."

Robin soon got to the map and looked to the way to get to the main office where the switch is located. Looking through his option, he logically guessed where the place it'ss at.

Robin: "Let's see… The switch is located in the chairman office for this stadium right? So if I were to see all the action, I believe it's all the way in the back, right at the view of the entire arena. Which is… There!"

He soon pointed at the huge room that is located close to the arena where it would show the view of the entire place. Cyborg looked at the map with him and could guess that it could be the right place.

Cyborg: "Hmm… Yeah, that seems just about right. If I were to see all the action at the comfort of my own business and have the necessities necessary to make it work, I would have the switch there as well."

Raven checked the map as well and could tell that it would take a while.

Raven: "And judging by how massive this place is, it could take a long while until we reach that station. Like say ten to fifteen stops at the least."

Star then decided to cheer everyone up and make up that time.

Starfire: "Then I might suggest playing an Earth like activity for the trip of roads. Perhaps the game that is called 'I Spy'."

The group looked to her and wondered if she was serious about it. Terra though turned to the side and noticed something that was fast approaching them to the side and decided to play that game.

Terra: "Okay, Star. Sure. Let's play I Spy. I spy with my little I, something that is threatening."

The team turned to her and finds that reaction to be a bit surprising. So much so that Beast Boy question her decision.

Beast Boy: "You kidding, Terra? We're trying to get out of this crazy place and you want to play a game?"

The Earth Bender turned to him and told him why she wanted to play the game.

Terra: "No… I'm playing that game because, WE GOT COMPANY!"

The group heard that and looked to what she was pointing at. That's when they saw what looked like a split they rode past and another tram came out of it and went next to them. And on that tram, there was a gang of splicers in football uniforms hooting and hollering with their weapons in the air and chanting the one phrase.

"We Raid!"
"We Raid!"
"We Raid!"
"We Raid!"

Seeing this threat Terra mentioned, they realized that they could be in serious trouble.

Beast Boy: "Oh… That's what you mean by something that is threatening. Right…"

They soon point their weapons at them and begin firing. Raven started to lift her hand up and a black wall came up and deflected the bullets. Cy soon got his cannon armed and was ready to retaliate.

Cyborg: "Looks like we're going to have a long trip to deal with."

Just as said that, red mist started to appear in the back as the Houdini Splicers are beginning to appear. Raven turned to see them appearing and knew that what Robin said was starting to come true.

Raven: "And here comes Karma."

Robin looked between the rock and hard place and had to make the tough decision.

Robin: "Then let's remove that karma for good. Cyborg, Starfire, Raven, handle the passengers on the other tram. Terra and Beast Boy, you're with me. Let's remove some unwanted trash! Titans, Go!"

The group started to split up and took on forces on both sides. The Houdini Splicers soon made their appearance and got their melee weapons out to fight. Robin and Terra got their melee weapons out as Beast Boy turned into a gorilla and begin their assault. They swung their weapons and fists to begin their fight as the splicers did that same. With the other half to the team, Raven kept her shield up as Cy and Star charged their weapons and powers to begin the assault. Star flew up and flung her star bolts, trying to take them down. But the group scattered and avoided the shots. This gave Cy the opportunity and fired both cannons while Rae removed part of the shield. That in turn let him to shoot down a few of those splicers. But there were still many of them as they kept firing in different positions. Raven managed to get the shield up and protected both herself and the hybrid, but Star was pretty much exposed. One of the splicers looked up to her and told the others to focus on her.

"One of them is out in the open! Kill that whore!"

Some of them heard him and looked up to her, pointing their Tommy guns and carbines at her. The Tamaranean realized she's in trouble and flew in quick succession, avoiding the bullets with her twists and turns. Cy looked to see her in trouble and decided to aid her.

Cyborg: "Star's in trouble! We need to save her!"

He was about to reach her, but bullets his the black shield and were stopped with puddle ripples. He soon backed away and knew trying to get to her would be difficult. Even Raven knew that it would be a fruitless endeavor.

Raven: "Yeah… Unless your armor is bullet proof, I find that rescuing her would be a trying task."

Cyborg listened to that and has to think of something. Meanwhile, Robin, Terra, and Beast Boy were trying to hold the Houdini Splicers as much as possible. Unfortunately, it's not working as they disappear and reappear even if you try to hit them. Robin managed to block the splicer hitting him with his bat. He managed to duck down from the last swing and tried to get his knees. But the splicer exploded in red mist and vanished away. Jumping back up, he wondered where the threat went. But before he could process, another splicer came in and was about to stab him in the back with a fencing sword. The leader though felt that and jumped up high in the air to disturb the stab. While getting behind in the air, he threw some birdarangs and was about to stab him in the back. But he too disappeared and missed the splicer by mere seconds. Landing on the ground, he looked on and realized that this wasn't working at all.

Robin: "This is useless! These guys disappear every time we try to hit them. We need to find a way in stopping them in their tracks."

Terra was using her crow bar to block a few attacks, but the moment she found an opening, he went away from the hit and vanishing into the mist. Groaning, she knew that would be an impossible feat.

Terra: "Good luck with that. Those guys are to fast in teleporting! Unless you have a freeze ray in that utility belt, I'm afraid there's no other way in getting out of this."

Beast Boy swung his arms around to hit a gang of Houdini Splicers and knock them down. But as they were blown back, they vanished away. He roared in aguish and has to find a way in following Robin's advice. Turning back, he looked around to find something useful. That's when he started to notice a bunch of small tanks to the side next to some crates. Checking one of the tank, he noticed that it was a cryo freeze to keep the heating pipes from bursting. That's when he came up with an idea.

Beast Boy: "Maybe there is a way. Here, catch!"

He grabbed the two tanks and tossed them to the two. Terra grabbed one and looked at the tank and was a little iffy."

Terra: "Cyro freeze? That's only used to cool the pipes if they're overheated. How will that help us?"

Robin got another tank and looked on with interest.

Robin: "Don't know. But I think I know where this is going. Get these tanks set up in specific places. We'll catch them by surprise."

Pretty soon, the group started to get as many tanks as they possibly carry and hope that this plan of BB's can work. As they were setting up, they could see the mist beginning to reappear again. That could only mean that one thing.

Terra: "Looks like those Houdini's and going to make their appearances."

Robin soon got the last tank ready and told the others to be prepared.

Robin: "Get ready team! They're coming!"

Once they have everything set up, they were prepared for a fight. The moment the splicers appeared, they all surround the three and were ready to mow them down.

"Lookie, lookie! Check it out boys. We got three scared teenagers, begging to be killed."

The group laughed as they got their weapons out to fight. Robin though listened to that and smirked at the thought of it.

Robin: "Who says we were scared. We just got you where we want you."

The group heard that and was a little confused by what he meant. Course, what they didn't know is that the there were multiple tanks of cryo freeze was around them. And Robin has them where he wants them.

Robin: "Now!"

So Robin jumped high and spin in a circle, throwing multiple exploding disks at the tanks behind them. Terra soon levitates some bits of pebbles that were on the ceiling and threw them at the other tanks. And finally, Beast Boy turned into a porcupine and flings his body to launch a lot of needles at the remaining tanks. Once all the projectiles hit the tanks, they all exploded in plums of white chilly smoke. All the splicers were caught by surprise and had little time teleporting to escape. Even when they start to teleport, they were starting to freeze up and their bodies were chilled completely. Once they become nothing but frozen statues, Robin decided to finish them off completely.

Robin: "All right, let's shatter them completely. Ready… And… Now!"

The three soon charged in and went straight to the attack. With swings, swipes, slashes, kicks, and punches, they shattered the frozen splicers and fell down in pieces. Once the area was cleared, Beast Boy shifted back and was quite disturbed at the end result.

Beast Boy: "Ew… That's disturbing… Wish we didn't do that, otherwise we would be disgusted by it."

Rob heard that explained that they had no option in the matter.

Robin: "We had no choice. These people were once human, but all that abuse of Plasmids drive them mad. Because of that, we have to put them out of their misery before they kill someone, or themselves in the matter. Let's get to the others and hope they are in need of some help."

He soon decided to check to see if the rest of the team was holding their own.

That is not the case on their end. Starfire was trying her best to hold the line while avoiding the bullets with her flights of fancy. At the same time, the Cy and Raven were behind the black magic wall the telepath used to protect themselves from the ongoing bullet barrage. Cy armed his blaster and was looking for an opening. Seeing a few shots to take, he told Rae to open those spots.

Cyborg: "All right, Rae. Open them up!"

She heard him and sensed where to open those holes. By doing so, Cy took aim and fired through those holes as the beam of light hit the splicers that were preoccupied with the Tamaranean. When he was done, she closed those holes in the wall and they were both still concerned about the situation.

Cyborg: "There. That would handle those forces. But there still seems to be many more to go."

He soon notices the cracks on the shield as Raven was trying to hold on for much longer.

Raven: "And this shield is on the verge of breaking. I don't think I can hang on forever."

Cy looked at the problem in front of them and knew that this is going to be bad.

Cyborg: "Damn it! This is bad. I just hope Star can help us."

Star was flying around, trying to find an opening to take out the splicers. But looking to the tramcar the team was on, she could see the shield depleting and on the verge of breaking. Fearing the worse, she needs to take them down now before the team is done for. Looking for a way, she noticed the track attached to the ceiling where the wheels are connected. Seeing this, she knew how to take them down in one shot. With a quick twist in her body, she flew right towards the tram's wheel mechanic and her eyes started to glow green. The splicers noticed the Tamaranean charged in and were ready to fire on her.

"She's coming around again! Everyone, focus fire on her before she fires back!"

They all aimed their rifles at her and were about to fire. But then, one of them notices something and told the others about it.

"Wait! It doesn't look like she's heading towards us. Where's she going?"

He soon turned around and wondered where or who she was targeting. They noticed that she was heading towards the wheel system and warned them about it.

"Oh crap! She's going for the track! Shoot that bitch down!"

They soon armed their weapons and started to fire on her. But suddenly, a black dome started to appear around her and protected her from the many projectiles. They all saw that and were really confused.

"What?!"

On the other car, Rae got her hand out and it glowed black. Turned out, the splicers were too focused on the alien, they forgot about the rest of the team. This gave Raven a chance to protect her friend and told her to do it.

Raven: "Now! Derail that tram!"

Hearing that, her eyes glowed green and fired a beam at the base of the pole. The beam connected and caused the wheels to warm up, melting in the process. The splicer could see it and realized that they could be in some serious trouble.

"No!"

Before any of them could stop her, the poll attached to the tracks got detached and caused the tram to fall, letting the contents and splicers falling off it, screaming to their deaths. The tram soon crashed and the barrels exploded, destroying everything from below while the tram the Titans are on passed them. They all looked at what happened and didn't expect that happening.

Beast Boy: "Whoa… Well… That was something."

Star soon flew to the tram and landed around them. Looking back at the flames that they passed, she soon realized that she overdone it a bit.

Starfire: "Oh my… Did I take it too far?"

Robin soon approached her and told her that she did all right.

Robin: "No. You didn't do anything wrong. Those guys were already dead the moment they spliced up. At least this time it will be smooth sailing from here."

The tram went down the track and was reaching the end of the tunnel. But as they left the tunnel, they soon notice that the track system is much more complex then ever. They were in the middle of what appears to be the middle in the arena with the field above them. Underneath it, there appears to be multiple sections all controlled with gears maneuvering them around. Each of them shows a different sporting event. One shows baseball, another shows a soccer field, then there's a basketball court, and a football field, even golf, wrestling, and an Olympic set up. It's almost like this arena has a sport for everything. Looking on, they were marveled at the sight of it.

Cyborg: "Damn… Look at all of this. Who would've thought that this sporting complex was so…complex?"

Robin starred at the many sections underneath the field and the gears and mechanisms operating them. Looking at them, he put together what is really going on.

Robin: "Obvious those stations were built to help switch sports easily. And those gears down there operating the platforms that can rise to the field and while the doors above them opened to let the platforms reveal themselves. Got to admit, Rapture is an innovation in itself. Really makes our sporting complex looking miniscule then this."

The tram kept traveling down the maintenance area, making it's way to the office complex. But as they were riding down their destination, they could hear the voice of Danny on the loud speakers.

Danny Wilkins: "Enjoying the tour of my home? That area is restricted for intruders like you. Still, it's nice to have guests within the Raider's lair. I don't really recall the last time we had visitors. Whatever the case, I think you overstayed your welcome. I'll have security escort you out of the premises, in pieces!"

He laughed loudly as the group heard that and wondered what he was referring to.

Beast Boy: "Oh man… This dude is so full of himself. And what does he mean by security? We took care of that."

Just as he was saying it, they all heard the sound of beeping from close by. Hearing that, they looked up to see security bots propelling to their position. Half of them were standard security bots with machine guns, the others were military grade complete with grenade launchers. They all starred at them for a bit and knew what the MVP was mentioning.

Terra: "I'm going to take a wild guess here and say that those bots are the security."

Almost immediately, the bots fired their machine guns and rockets right at the tram they were on. Quickly, Raven got her arms out and formed and spear around them and the tram to deflect the many projectiles. The bots soon flew over them and were starting to go around for another sweeping attack. Dropping the shield, the leader told his team to take them out quickly.

Robin: "Take them down now before they come back for another round!"

Hearing that, Cy and Star got to the edge of the side where the sentry bots were turning and fired their laser and bolts at them. The projectiles hit a small handful of them, but there were many more to some as they returned and fired another round. Rae soon got the sphere up again and protected the team from getting blasted off the tram. The moment the firing ceased when they were over them, they flew to the other end to do another turn around. The two Titans went back to firing and took out another handful, but there are still more to come. They flew down to them again and fired, while Raven got the dome up again and deflect all the shots. And the cycle continued to repeat itself completely. Terra looked to the situation and was a little annoyed by this.

Terra: "Argh! This isn't getting us anywhere! We need to take them down now!"

Looking up to the ceiling where the field is and decided to pull a serious risk.

Terra: "Let's tear the house down on these clankers!"

She lifted her hands up in the air and begins to focus. But Robin noticed it and grabbed her hand, stopping her from doing something completely stupid.

Robin: "Wait! Don't do it! You bring the whole roof down, it will take us along with it."

Hearing that, Terra realizes what she was going to do and stopped herself.

Terra: "Oh… Right… I almost messed it up there, did I? Still, we can't keep this up for long. We need to get out of the open and escape from these metal bastards."

Robin heard that and looked ahead to see a tunnel on the other end. But it's far from their position and has to go through curves and straights that head into the movable sections of the field. Seeing this, he decided to take a risk of his own.

Robin: "If we are to escape, we need to get down that tunnel. But it's going to be a far trip unless…"

Looking at the console, he decided to take the wheel.

Robin: "Everybody hang on! It's going to be a wild ride!"

He soon hurries to the console and pulled the lever to let the speed of the tram to reach maximum. The group was caught by surprise as the tram pulled forward violently. They were tripped and hit the metal floor while some of the crates toppled off the cart and fall into the abyss. The tram soon moved fast and headed right to the exit tunnel. The sentry bots were caught by surprise and flew towards them as much as possible. They try to catch up and when they can't, they fired their rockets and machine guns at them. The team managed to recover and held on as Raven got her hand out and created a wall in the back to deflect the shots that was going to take them down. She soon looked back and asked how this would help.

Raven: "And this is going to work, because…"

Robin turned back while gripping the console and explains as best he could.

Robin: "Because that tunnel is close quarters. We go in there; the sentries won't maneuver enough for us to take one shot. That's all we need."

The tram kept on speeding, making its way to the tunnel. But the sentries were getting smart and thought of a way to stop them. Aiming at the track ahead, they fired a bunch or rockets and they exploded on contact. The group saw it go down and Beast Boy pointed at it.

Beast Boy: "Uh… Don't be too sure about that, dude. We got a roadblock in the way!"

Robin noticed it and realized that they could be in a bit of trouble.

Robin: "Shit! Everyone, hold on to something! We're about to go down!"

But Star looked at it and decided to do something about it. So she flew when no one was looking and prep herself for her plan. In a matter of moments, the wheels on the track flew off the rail and was falling. The group held on and thought that it was over for them. But there was an immediate stop during the fall and they were a bit dazed on that abrupt stoppage. They all looked around and realized that they were coming back up.

Cyborg: "Whoa! What was that about? Thought we were going to die."

Robin wondered about that too and looked down to see some kind of shadow. Looking back, he noticed that someone is missing front the group and put the pieces together.

Robin: "Oh, I think I know what happened."

Underneath the tram, Starfire was flying up, using her strength to lift the tram upwards in the air. She gritted her teeth and knew this wasn't going to be easy.

Starfire: "Urgh… I immediately realize this was the bad idea."

They soon got back on track with Star carrying them in the air and flew straight to the tunnel. The turrets saw this and were caught by surprise. They soon went back to pursuing them and fired their weapons at them. Rae got her wall up and protected the back end yet again, getting angry over this.

Raven: "Why do I have to be the one going to the defensive here?"

Star flew ahead to the tunnel as it was between the sporting sections for the field. Robin told her to keep on flying, as they were halfway through.

Robin: "Keep going, Star! We're halfway there!"

As they were about to head down the tunnel, they could hear Danny's voice once again through the loudspeaker.

Danny Wilkins: "Hey! Where do you think you're going? That area is off limits! You shouldn't be there when it's moving."

The group heard that and was a bit confused about that as well.

Beast Boy: "What? I don't see them moving."

Just as he said that, the gears started to move and the sporting fields were beginning to move around, arranging from one place to another. Seeing this, the group looked at him and glared him to be quiet. BB laughed a little nervously and got the message.

Beast Boy: "Right… Shutting up now."

Rob soon yelled to Starfire to be careful.

Robin: "Star!"

She heard him and saw the sections moving around, knowing the situation.

Starfire: "I see it! I will avoid them as much as I could!"

She soon darted towards the moving platforms and was going to thread the needle. The team could see what she was doing and was getting extremely nervous.

Terra: "Uh… Star? What are you doing?"

That's when she answered their question on what she's going to do.

Starfire: "I will do what you people call on Earth, 'Thread the needle'."

That got their eyes wide in complete shock.

Cyborg: "Whoa! Star, hang on a sec. Let's think about it for a moment. You don't really have to do this. Star?! STAR?!"

She soon flew towards the contraption while holding the team while the turrets followed them. Going into the area, she maneuvered around and avoided the many platforms for a variety of sports. The turrets tried to reach them, while avoiding as well, but they have difficulty maneuvering through as they hit into the platforms. A few hit the one platform representing basketball. Another few hit the section for croquet. And then another platform with a soccer field hit a couple of more. It was obvious they didn't have the tech necessary to avoid the moving platforms, as they never had the time to register. Thankfully, Star managed to get out of all of it and reached the other end with the tram, her team, and herself unscathed. The group realized it and turned back to see the movable platforms are behind them and were relieved.

Cyborg: "Huh… We actually made it. Guess I underestimated you, Star."

Robin soon looked ahead and could see the tunnel with the track leading into it.

Robin: "There! That's the tunnel we need to take. Star, drop us down to the track."

The Tamaranean look down to the track that led to the tunnel and followed his advice.

Starfire: "Understood."

With her alien strength, she started to toss the tram down, catching everyone by surprise and the scream to their drop. On precise targeting, the wheels of the pole like structure connected to the track and latched on to it hard, stopping the fall completely. The team was shook from that and the leader should've pronounced what he said a bit better.

Robin: "Ow… Kay… Maybe I should've told her to place us down lightly. That was my bad."

Terra recovered from the sudden drop and looked ahead to see Starfire returning. But after her were the remaining sentry guns, trying to catch up to all of them. They were firing their machine guns and rocket launchers at the alien as she was avoiding them, trying to reach the group. Seeing this, she turned to the leader and told him to get going.

Terra: "Rob?! We better get moving! Now!"

Hearing that, he decided to get into that tunnel immediately.

Robin: "Right! Hang on!"

Getting to the console, he immediately pulled the lever up and increased the sped, letting it speed into the tunnel. The group holds on as the tram went back into acceleration. The Star could see them heading into the tunnel and went after them. At the same time, the sentries went after them and went back to firing. All of them got into the tunnel and were all enclosed. Star was getting closer to the tram as Raven still has the wall up in the back end. The reason why is the remaining security bots attacked with barrages of projectiles. Star could feel it and twist her body around and avoid them as much as possible. Twisting her body to see them, she was getting upset and her hands and eyes glowed crimson green.

Starfire: "Pesky little pests! You are far worse then the Grachus of the planet Rockud. It is time I begin destroying you once and for all!"

With her hands together, she fired both them and her eyes to administer a powerful beam that engulfs the tunnel. That huge beam hit the bots and they were all disintegrated on contact. When the light faded, all of them were destroyed and the team was in the clear. Star took a breather and was glad that was over with.

Starfire: "And those bots of sentries have been dealt with. I just hope more will not follow."

She soon turn around and flew back to the team. By the time she return them, Raven lowered the shield and she flew in, landing on the platform. The group joined her and was amazed at her performance.

Beast Boy: "Dude! That was so awesome! The way you saved us and got us through that mess was amazing! Not to mention using all that power to obliterate what's left to those metal bots. That was so cool!"

Terra: "Tell me about it. That was super rad what you did. Though I must admit, that was a little…extreme in how you pull it off. Just give us a little warning when you do something like that, kay?"

Star acted a little sheepish and get what they were referring to.

Starfire: "My sincerest apology. We were all in the middle of what it would be a difficult position and I had to act under my own accord. I promise to warn you of any aggressive action I would make in the near future."

Robin approached her and snickered a little bit.

Robin: "Don't put yourself to blame, Star. You had the make the decision in saving us, no matter how extreme it was. At least you know now that next time, you give us a heads up in pulling a stunt like that again."

Star smiled and tilts her head, getting what he's saying.

Starfire: "Of course, friend Robin. I will give you the warning when I perform something as aggressive as what I did just now."

As they were out in the clear, Cy asked about where they were.

Cyborg: "So… Uh… Does anyone know where we're going?"

Robin heard that and realized they need to stop at a certain station to get to the office complex for the override switch. Hearing that, he decided to get back on track.

Robin: "Right. We need to get to the office area to find the switch. Let me check the map."

Going to the map from his utility belt and check to see where they were going. Looking though the map he checked on the track on where they were and knew where to go next.

Robin: "Let's see… According to the map, we have one more stop before getting to the office complex. When we get there, we'll stop to that station and head to the office area to find the override switch and unlock the security door back to Arcadia. Should be smooth sailing from here on out."

But as he said that, the wheels started to spark as the strain of the track is causing it to break. Raven noticed it and warned the team about it.

Raven: "Yeah… That won't be easy to say…"

She pointed up to show them what she saw. The group looked up to what she's pointing at and saw the wheels squeaking and sparking completely. Looking at it, they knew that the trip is about to make an abrupt stop.

Cyborg: "Oh boy… That can't be good."

Seeing the sparks, Robin realized the speed, combine with the latching of the wheels after Starfire dropped it at the précised spot, will cause the cart to go off track and crash into something. Rushing to the console, he went to the lever and tried to pull down the switch to slow it down. But it was stuck and couldn't go down. So he went to the long lever that is the emergency brake and pulled it down. But when he pulled it down, it snapped and didn't brake. Looking at the brake, he realized that it was impossible to stop.

Robin: "Oh crap… Everyone! Brace yourselves! We're about to crash!"

The group soon join together with Robin arriving after and started to hold on to anything that's attached to the tram. Raven soon got into the middle and crossed her arms before stretching them to the side. That when a huge dome engulfed the entire tram to keep everyone safe. The tram's wheels started to break apart as it started to enter the station before the office complex. Instantly, the wheels snapped and it cart flew right into the station, crashing completely. The only thing that was left is complete and utter darkness.

That will do it for this chapter. Yep, you guessed it. Another cliffhanger. I really like to be cheeky on these cliffhangers, yes. But I always have a plan for these stories and would do whatever I could to make it exciting. This story is no exception as I want to two separate adventure combined into one. You will see in the next couple of chapters in what I'm planning. And that will continue on the next chapter, where LM must get to his next target Cohen wants him to take care of. Who is this next target? Who much of a threat he is? Will he survive that opposing threat? Those questions and many more when the next chapter of BioTitans comes to you. Keep an eye out for that.
