Hello to everyone! Welcome, one and all to my latest story. I'm quite excited to have this one out for you. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing it.
This is an idea I've had in my head for some time. Once I got it in my head, it refused to leave. So naturally, I had to write it down and share it. Let's see if it was worth it.
But first, a quick note. Yes, this wasn't originally my idea. As stated in the description, the idea originated from a story with the exact name written by an author on this site called 369destroyer. He/she came up with the idea, and I give them full credit for it. All I'm doing is giving it a remake while adding my own unique twists and surprises to the concept. I also hope to give an ending to this story, as the original had no ending, sadly. It was just kind of abandoned. I assure you, I will do no such thing. Also, no, I did not talk to 369destroyer beforehand. I'm working off the assumption that he/she has left fanfiction and not looked back. If, for some reason, they come back and contact me over this, I will gladly work something out with them. Until then, I will write and write until I don't feel like writing anymore. I hope you enjoy.
With that out of the way, let's get this story off the ground! Here's hoping you enjoy my latest story.

*Titans Tower*
*10:00 am*
The Brotherhood of Evil had been defeated. That much was true. Robin and a large group of his friends and allies, collectively known as the Teen Titans, had defeated them in their secret base in Paris, France, some time ago. Since then, Robin had split the large group of Titans into smaller groups and had them place bases all over the world to help ensure global security.
Yet, despite the defeat of the Brotherhood of Evil, that did not stop all evil all over the world. On the contrary, it seemed as if new villains and threats were popping up daily. As is, the Titans could only do so much. And so, Robin decided that the time was right to induct some new young heroes into the Teen Titans. With this goal in mind, Robin looked over the Titans supercomputer. He had created files on each of the potential new recruits.
The first was a boy from a small town called Amity Park. The boy went by the name Danny Phantom. Based on the name, Robin guessed he was some kind of ghost or spirit. This was further reinforced by the fact that he appeared to possess several ethereal powers and abilities. Robin didn't really know much, but he was sure Danny was a hero. He was often described as fighting off more malevolent ghosts. Though there was very little footage, Robin was still able to tell that he was at least somewhat skilled in combat. He would make a fine addition to the team.
The next recruit hailed from Manhattan. There was even less footage of him than there was of Danny Phantom. Based on what few pictures there were of it, though, it was clear this one was not human. Instead, it resembled a large reptile with large wings. To be more specific, it looked like a dragon. Robin wasn't sure if it was sentient, but rumors suggested that it was, and that it could even speak. Those who spoke of it often referred to it as the American Dragon. Unlike dragons of folklore, this one seemed to avoid collateral damage whenever possible, and also had a reputation for going up against those with ill intent. This one would be difficult to track down and approach, but Robin knew he had to try.
The next file detailed another non-human. But unlike the last one, this one was not magic in nature. Rather, it was machine in nature. The machine's name had been listed as XJ-9. However, reports indicated that the machine preferred to be called 'Jenny'. Jenny was stated to come from the city of Tremorton. Despite having the build and size of a human female, it was clear that Jenny was much more than a simple machine. She had countless amounts of gadgets and weaponry built into her body. It was baffling how so much could be packed into one robot. Robin felt that his teammate Cyborg would love to meet whoever build Jenny.
Next up was a trio of little girls named Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup. The media often referred to them as The Powerpuff Girls. They seemed to have the best publicity out of all the recruits, as they were regularly on the news in and around their home, in the city of Townsville. Sometimes, they even took the time to talk to reporters after their battles. Because of this, Robin had had his eye on them for some time. He was instantly able to tell they were among the most powerful living things on the planet. They had no shortage of impressive abilities that allowed them to regularly combat even extremely large monsters that would probably give Robin and his team a hard time. In truth, Robin had considered asking them to join the Titans before. However, there was still one thing that gave Robin pause: their age. Despite their abilities, the Powerpuff Girls were still only five years old, and often acted like it too. At first, Robin was going to wait until they were older before asking them to join the Titans. But with crime on the rise worldwide, Robin now felt that time was a luxury he could no longer afford, and decided to ask them now.
Lastly was the most questionable new recruit, El Tigre of Miracle City. In truth, Robin wasn't sure whether to call him a hero or a villain. Part of that may be because El Tigre wasn't sure of that himself. According to his file, one day, he'll be stopping a supervillain from robbing a museum, but the next, he'll be robbing that museum himself. It was also stated that his father was a noted hero in the city, and his grandfather was a noted villain in the city. Robin suspected this was part of the reason El Tigre had not yet joined a side. Despite that, Robin believed that with a proper push, such as joining the Titans, El Tigre would choose good over evil.
Looking over all these files, Robin knew he had to contact these heroes as soon as possible and ask them to join the Titans. He just had to wait for the right opportunity. Fortunately, said opportunity came only a week later. The Teen Titans had been called out of town by one of their sister groups, known as the Titans East, to help deal with a new threat. Said threat was an alien invasion from a race known as the Vilgaxians. After defeating the aliens, Robin and his team began the trip home in their aircraft, known as the T-Ship. But before they got home, Robin addressed his team.
"Listen up, team. This is the third time this month we've been called out of town. I don't think there's any denying that there are more villains and threats out there than ever before." Robin explained.
"Yeah. And I'm starting to get tired of all these new bad guys What are we gonna do about it?" Cyborg asked.
"The answer is simple. It's time to recruit some new Titans." Robin answered.
"Really? More? I thought we had, like, every hero on the world on our side by this point." Beast Boy said.
"Not all of them. I've been scouting some potential new members for some time. And I think it's time we asked them to join. I've sent the coordinates into each of your pods. Let me know when you've made contact with your assigned hero." Robin commanded.
"Are you sure about this? Remember what happened last time we separated to recruit new heroes?" Beast Boy asked.
"I know. But don't forget, Cyborg and I upgraded our communicators to make it harder for others to hack into it. Plus, if somethings happens, the others are just a call away. Titans, separate!" Robin said.
With that, the T-Ship split into five smaller ships, each one flying off in a different direction.
Raven arrived at her destination, Amity Park, at night. As soon as she arrived, she sensed something was off. She sensed a strong astral presence here, almost as if there was a direct link to one of the realms of the afterlife here. As far as she knew, that was not possible. Raven just pushed this down and focused on finding the one called Danny Phantom. The sooner she found him, the sooner she could go home.
She searched for some time, but came up empty. Just as she was about to go back to square one, she sensed a strange presence nearby. She followed the feeling to its source and found what looked like a machine with a flaming green mohawk made of fire. Raven's empathic powers told her that this was a ghost.
'A mechanical spirit? That shouldn't be possible.' Raven thought to herself.
With nothing else to do, she followed this ghost. Shortly thereafter, she finally found who she was looking for. A teenager with white hair and green eyes wearing a skintight black and white suit with a 'D' symbol on his chest. This was Danny Phantom. He had come to attack the mechanical spirit
"Skulker? I thought I dealt with you last week. Back for another round of butt kicking?" Danny asked.
"Silence, ghost boy! This time, I shall finally have my prize!" Skulker roared.
"In your dreams! Let's just skip to the part where I kick your mechanical rear back into the Ghost Zone!" Danny taunted.
'Great. Another hero with a big mouth.' Raven mentally groaned.
Danny threw the first blow. Hitting Skulker hard enough to send him crashing through a wall. Danny then flew towards his opponent, readying another punch. But Skulker managed to get a shot off first. He fired a taser from his wrist and sent several volts of painful electricity surging through Danny. After that, Skulker got back up, jumped into the air, and punched Danny into the ground.
Danny was hurt by this, but quickly recovered. He sent a drop kick at his enemy, sending Skulker backwards. After getting up, Danny rushed towards his opponent. The two traded blows with each other for a few moments. Danny prepared to hit his enemy, but Skulker grabbed his fist. He then threw Danny into a pile of boxes in an alley. A laser cannon then appeared on Skulker's shoulder. He fired it at the alley, only to see Danny was no longer in the alley.
"Where are you, ghost boy?" Skulker asked.
"Right here!"
Skulker turned around and was met with an ecto-blast to the face. Danny had used his ability to phase through solid objects to go into the ground and get behind Skulker. A few more ecto-blasts in quick succession finally managed to knock Skulker out.
Raven, who had been watching the fight from the shadows, saw Danny pull out some kind of thermos and point it at Skulker. But nothing happened. Raven wasn't sure what she was expecting, though.
"Of all the times to break on me." Danny said as he fiddled with the thermos.
As Danny was trying to fix the thermos, Skulker came to and lunged at Danny. But before he could crush Danny, Skulker was held in place by a black aura enveloping his body. It was then that Raven made herself known by stepping out of the shadows. She was using her powers to keep Skulker in place. Danny saw her, and though he was confused, he acknowledged her help.
"He's only wearing high tech armor. Rip it off and I'll deal with the rest." Danny said.
Raven nodded, and recited her usual enchantment.
"Azarath Metrion ZINTHOS!"
Skulker's armor was promptly ripped to shreds, leaving behind only his true form, a ghost only about half a foot tall with a high-pitched voice. Danny, who had finally gotten his thermos to work again, used it to suck up the tiny ghost before sealing it again. He then approached Raven.
"Thanks for the help, but who are you?" Danny asked.
"My name is Raven. I've been sent here to recruit you into the Teen Titans." Raven said while holding out a Titans communicator.
"Wait, really?! You came to recruit me?! ME?!" Danny yelled.
"Yeah. That's what I just said. Well?" Raven deadpanned.
"I-I mean… I-I'm not sure. Can I have some time to think it over?" Danny asked.
"Whatever. Just take this for now. Contact us when you've made a choice." Raven answered.
With that, Raven unceremoniously dropped the communicator in Danny's hands before flying off. Danny was left standing there dumbstruck, unsure of what to think or do. All he could do as revert back to his human form, that of Danny Fenton, and return home.
When Beast Boy arrived in New York City, he realized he had no idea where to begin. He didn't even know how to get to Manhattan. After getting directions, he turned into a falcon and began searching all over for this alleged 'American Dragon'. He tried everything from sniffing him out as a bloodhound to circling the city as a pterodactyl trying to find the dragon. He even stopped random pedestrians if they knew anything about a dragon. No one said 'yes'. Beast Boy searched for several minutes. Minutes turned into hours, and before long, the sun had set, leaving behind a brightly illuminated city. Beast Boy landed on top of one of the many skyscrapers, just about ready to give up.
"How hard is it to find one stinking dragon?" Beast Boy muttered to himself.
Suddenly, he was hit with an idea.
"Wait, maybe if I turn into a dragon, he'll show himself to me! I'm a genius!" Beast Boy declared.
Even though he wasn't sure if he could even turn into a mythological animal, Beast Boy focused his powers on trying to turn into a dragon, and he succeeded. As a dragon, Beast Boy flew around Manhattan, calling out for the American Dragon. While he didn't find who he was looking for, he did spot a man dressed as a ninja on the roof of another skyscraper. The ninja attempted to hurl a throwing star at Beast Boy, but missed. In retaliation, Beast Boy flew towards the ninja and pinned him down.
"Dude, for a ninja, you kinda suck at keeping hidden. I saw you easily." Beast Boy said.
"That was the plan." The ninja stated.
In a split second, the ninja escaped Beast Boy's grasp. Before the green hero had a chance to react, a net was dropped on him. More ninjas appeared and prepared to finish off Beast Boy. But suddenly, a torrent of flame got between the ninjas and the captive Beast Boy. All parties looked toward the source of the flame. There was another dragon flying nearby. This dragon was mostly red in color, but with a yellow underbelly and black hair with a green outline.
"Yo! Hunting another dragon? Not cool, guys!" The red dragon said.
While they were distracted with the red dragon, Beast Boy morphed into a fly and escaped the net before turning back into a dragon. This surprised the red dragon.
"Whoa! How'd you do that, man?!" The dragon asked.
"I think we should fight these guys off first, dude." Beast Boy responded.
With that, the two dragons engaged the ninjas in combat. Punch and kick after punch and kick were thrown by both sides. Though the ninjas put up a good fight, the dragons ultimately proved too much for them. Those that were not knocked unconscious chose to retreat from the fight. Once the coast was clear, the red dragon turned to the green one.
"Those were some sick moves, my man." The red one said.
"Thanks, dude. And thanks again for helping me out with those ninjas." Beast Boy responded.
"Don't sweat it, G. Just helping out a fellow dragon."
"Huh? Oh, I'm not actually a dragon."
Beast Boy then returned to his normal form.
"The name's Beast Boy. I'm a member of the Teen Titans."
"Oh, I've heard of you guys. Yo, you dogs are some of the tightest heroes out there! What brings you to NYC?" The dragon asked.
"That depends. You wouldn't happen to be the 'American Dragon', would you?" Beast Boy responded.
"Who's asking?" The dragon asked with a wary look on his face.
"I am. I was sent here to find the American Dragon and ask if he wanted to join the Titans."
"Say WHAAAA?! You want me to join the Teen Titans?!" The American Dragon said in surprise.
"That's what I said, dude. So, whaddya say? You in?" Beast Boy said while holding out his communicator.
The American Dragon took a moment to let it sink in that he was being asked to join the Teen Titans. After that, he began to consider his options.
"…I dunno, man. I'd like to, but there are certain rules us dragons have to follow. It's bad enough you know dragons are real. We're supposed to be a secret."
"Aw, come on, dude! You have to join! This is a onetime only offer. Tell you what, why not take this communicator, and if you decide to join, ring us up. If you do join, you don't have to tell anyone things you're not supposed to." Beast Boy said while giving the dragon the communicator.
"Sounds good, homie."
"Sweet! Also, don't worry about your secret. I won't tell anyone."
"Thanks, dude. Hope to see you again. I'd like to chill with you sometime." The American Dragon said while holding his fist out for a fist bump.
"Count on it!" Beast Boy said while returning the fist bump. "…So, the way out of town is…"
"That way." The American Dragon said while gesturing behind him.
"Thanks, dude. Hope to see you around."
Beast Boy promptly turned into a falcon and flew off. Once he was gone, the American Dragon looked down at his communicator.
"Me? In the Teen Titans? I can't believe this is for real. I hope Gramps has an open mind about this." The dragon said to himself as he flew home.
Tremorton was a city that focused a lot of its effort on technological advancement. As such, it was one of the most advanced cities in the world. When Cyborg arrived, he couldn't help but marvel at what he saw. He was so awestruck by all the advanced technology around him that he almost forgot about his mission. He eventually focused on trying to find XJ-9, but made a mental note to buy a few new parts for his car before leaving town.
After asking a few locals for information on XJ-9, he was directed to the home of the brilliant but somewhat reclusive scientist Dr. Nora Wakeman. Once at her house, Cyborg knocked at her door. Soon after, the door opened slightly, and a pair of eyes peeked out. The door was then thrown open as Dr. Wakeman looked at Cyborg in surprise.
"Good heavens! A human with mechanical parts?!" Dr. Wakeman said in surprise.
"You could say that. My name's Cyborg. I came here to ask about your creation, XJ-9. Is she home?" Cyborg asked.
"Why on Earth would I give you such information?" Dr. Wakeman said while glaring at Cyborg.
"Well, you see, I've been sent to recruit her into my superhero team, the Teen Titans. Perhaps you've heard of us. So can I talk to her?" Cyborg answered.
"Hmmm, unacceptable." Dr. Wakeman responded.
"Wait, what? Why?"
"I have indeed heard of you Titans. XJ-9 has even asked about joining you in the past. But I cannot allow it. I cannot allow her to leave Tremorton yet. I must be close by as I am the only one capable of repairing her."
"Aw, come on! What's the point of creating an all-powerful super robot if you're just gonna treat her like a helpless kid?" Cyborg argued.
"Don't you take that tone of voice with me, young man! She is much more than a mere machine. She is my daughter, first and foremost. She will not be joining any manner of 'team' while I have anything to say about it."
"But I…"
"This conversation is over! Good day, sir!" Dr. Wakeman yelled before slamming the door in Cyborg's face.
With a sigh, Cyborg turned around and started walking back toward his ship. The one thing he took away from this was that Dr. Wakeman cared deeply for XJ-9. Enough to keep her from joining the Titans. Still, Cyborg wished he had at least gotten to see XJ-9 and gotten an input from her. But as is, there was nothing more he could do. Just as he was walking down the street, he heard a loud thud from behind him. Something had landed behind him. Cyborg turned and saw none other than XJ-9 standing before him.
"Hey, you look familiar. You wouldn't happen to be Cyborg from the Teen Titans, would you?" XJ-9 asked.
"Yep, that's me. And I'm gonna take a wild guess and say you're XJ-9." Cyborg responded.
"I thought that was you! It's an honor to meet you! Wait, you know me?!" XJ-9 said excitedly.
"So you are XJ-9. Glad to meet ya."
"It's nice to meet you too. But, I prefer to be called Jenny. Anyway, you never answered my question. How do you know me?"
"Well, Jenny, that's because I was sent here to find you. I came to ask if you wanted to join the Teen Titans."
"You did?! Oh, wow, this is SO COOL! But…"
"Let me guess, your mom won't let you?"
"How did you know?" Jenny asked.
"I just got done talking with her. How about this? I'll give you this communicator, and if you ever manage to change her mind, give us a call, and you're in." Cyborg said while holding out a Titans communicator.
"Of course!" Jenny said while quickly taking the communicator.
"Cool. Now, don't lose that."
"Oh, I won't! Thank you, Cyborg. I hope to see you soon!"
"Right back at ya!"
Jenny promptly made a pair of wings appear out of her back and had jet thrusters come out of her head. She then flew of into the distance, leaving Cyborg behind. The Titan then began to walk toward town, in search of the nearest auto store.
The City of Townsville. A peaceful town full of peaceful residents who like to go about their peaceful lives. That is, except for when a supervillain, criminal, or monster disturbs that peace. And unfortunately for the residents of Townsville, this was a near daily occurrence. Luckily, Townsville was also the home of a small team of heroes known as the Powerpuff Girls. These girls took it upon themselves to protect their fair city whenever danger reared its ugly head. Thus far, they had done a good job in keeping Townsville as safe as possible.
Townsville was also the destination for one red haired, green eyed Teen Titan known as Starfire. She was quite excited to be here. She had heard of the Powerpuff Girls before, and was quite fond of their hero work, as well as how cute they were. She was very much looking forward to meeting them. As soon as she landed her ship, she started flying around the city, looking for the three super sisters.
However, the Powerpuff Girls weren't currently in the city proper. Right now, Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup were just getting out of school for the day. But as they prepared to fly home from Pokey Oaks Kindergarten, a buzzing sound came from inside their classroom. It was the special hotline the mayor of Townsville had set up for them so he could call them in case of an emergency. Being the leader of the Powerpuff Girls, Blossom answered the phone.
"Yes, mayor?...Uh-huh…Uh-huh…I see… We're on our way!" Blossom said before hanging up.
"What is it?" Buttercup asked.
"Mojo Jojo has created another giant robot and is tearing apart downtown! Let's go, girls!" Blossom yelled.
The three girls quickly flew into the air and headed for downtown. Sure enough, a large machine was wreaking havoc all around while terrified citizens ran for their lives. And at the controls of this robot was a green skinned, black furred primate with a strange helmet to protect his oversized brain. It was the Powerpuff Girl's arch-enemy, Mojo Jojo. The Powerpuff Girls quickly flew in front of the robot and prepared to stop its rampage.
"Hold it right there, Mojo!" Blossom said.
"Whatever stupid scheme you've come up with, it won't work! You might as well give up!" Buttercup declared.
"Yeah! Why will now be any different?" Bubbles asked.
"Because I, Mojo Jojo, have included an extra feature into this machine. One that will bring you to your knees!" Mojo said with a sinister laugh.
With that, Mojo pressed a button on his control board. A panel in the center of the robot slowly opened up, and the girls gasped once they saw what was inside. Inside the robot, kept in a glass cage, with several laser guns pointed at him, was the Powerpuff Girl's creator and father figure, Professor Utonium.
"PROFESSOR!" The three girls yelled in horror.
"That is correct! I, Mojo Jojo, have kidnapped Professor Utonium. And if I press this button, those laser guns will zap him into nonexistence." Mojo taunted as he held his finger over one particular button. "If you do not wish for this to happen to him, then you will do nothing as I destroy the city, and then, destroy you! Mwahahaha! What can you possibly do to stop me now?! I will tell you: nothing! No one can stop me now!"
Right then, something powerful hit the back of Mojo's robot. He and the girls looked toward the source of the projectile and saw Starfire floating above the robot. She had just fired one of her signature starbolts and made ready to fire another.
"I can stop you now! You will release that innocent man and surrender at once, you horrid grenplork!" Starfire demanded.
"What?! Another hero?! How is this possible?! I did not foresee this happening! No matter. I shall dispose of you as easily as I shall dispose of those wretched Powerpuff Girls!" Mojo stated.
Mojo then had his robot rear one of its arms back, and then brought it upon Starfire. Luckily, Starfire was able to match the robot's strength with her own, and thus, keep the massive fist from punching her out of the sky. Mojo was not expecting this to happen. Despite this, he quickly regained his composure and prepared to hit Starfire with his robot's other fist. But Blossom saw this coming and put a plan into motion.
"Buttercup! Bubbles! Stop the other fist! I'll get the Professor!" Blossom ordered.
Bubbles and Buttercup quickly flew next to Starfire and used their own impressive strength to stop the robot's second fist from hitting the Titan. While this was happening, Blossom quickly flew towards the center of the robot. She easily shattered the glass cage keeping the Professor hostage. Before Mojo could react, Blossom grabbed the Professor, flew out of the robot, and set the Professor on the ground safely.
"Thank you, Blossom. Now go and help your sisters and that new hero." Professor Utonium said.
Blossom quickly flew into the fray herself. She also grabbed onto the fist her sisters were holding onto. She then began speaking again.
"We need to knock this robot on its back! On three! One, two, three!"
The Powerpuff Girls and Starfire used all their strength to lift the robot's arms above its head. They then managed to lift the robot into the air before slamming it to the ground, flat on its back. The robot was badly damaged by this attack. After recovering, Mojo quickly tried to run away, but was grabbed by his cape and lifted into the air by Starfire.
"I do not think you will be going anywhere, you bad primate." Starfire said sternly.
After turning Mojo over to the authorities, who had just arrived on the scene, Starfire was addressed by the Powerpuff Girls.
"Thank you for your help, miss." Blossom said.
"Yeah, thanks!" Buttercup echoed.
"But, if you don't mind us asking, who are you?" Bubbles asked.
"My name is Starfire. I am a member of the Teen Titans. And you are the Powerpuff Girls, are you not?" Starfire asked.
"That's us!" Buttercup proudly declared.
"Oh! I thought you looked familiar! I'm a big fan of your team!" Blossom stated.
"So am I! I'm very excited to meet you!" Bubbles added.
It was at this point that Starfire could no longer handle the cuteness these girls were giving off. She grabbed all three of them and wrapped them in the tightest hug she could muster.
"Oh! You three are just the cutest little bumgorfs I have ever seen! I wish to squeeze you until you pop!" Starfire shouted.
"Um, thanks?" Blossom said.
"Well, what brings you to Townsville, Miss Starfire?" Professor Utonium asked.
"Oh, yes." Starfire said as she released the girls.
Starfire then held out three Titan Communicators to the three girls.
"I have been sent by Robin to give you these. And to extend to you a formal invitation to join the Teen Titans." Starfire answered.
"WHAT?!" The girls screamed in surprise.
"Y-you want us to join the Teen Titans? Really?!" Bubbles said in disbelief.
"Oh my gosh! I can't believe it! This is the coolest thing, ever!" Buttercup screamed in excitement.
"But… does that mean we would have to leave Townsville?" Blossom asked.
The excitement within Bubbles and Buttercup died instantly at Blossom's statement.
"Don't get us wrong, we're extremely honored, of course. It's just… I'm not sure I'm ready to leave. Especially since there's so much crime here." Blossom added.
"Yeah. And I don't think any of us are ready to leave the Professor." Bubbles stated.
Starfire thought for a moment before an idea came to her.
"Perhaps if I were to convince Robin to be setting up the new tower here in Townsville? Would you be joining then?" Starfire asked.
"Maybe. Can we have some time to think about it?" Blossom asked.
"Of course. Here, please be taking these. I shall be contacting you later." Starfire answered while handing them the communicators.
"Thank you, Miss Starfire." The three girls said at once.
With that, Starfire flew off into the distance, her mission complete.
Robin hated the desert. He didn't like the sand, he didn't like the scenery, and most of all, he didn't like the heat. The only thing worse than the heat was walking in the heat. However, he forced himself to do so on his way to Miracle City. Since this place had a reputation for being a spicy cesspool of crime and villainy, Robin didn't dare park his ship anywhere in the city proper, lest he find it destroyed when he returned to it. Instead, he parked it about five miles from the city outskirts. However, he was beginning to regret that decision. Maybe he should have sent Beast Boy here instead.
At long last, he made it into the city. Now all he had to do was find this 'El Tigre'. He went around the city as fast as he could, but to no avail. But while he didn't find El Tigre, he did find the local bank getting robbed. He saw the robber was an elderly man in some kind of mechanical suit. He was carrying several bags of money. Even though this wasn't his town, Robin couldn't just stand by and let a crime be committed.
However, before Robin could jump in, someone else beat him to the punch. A hero wearing a luchador mask, a white shirt, and bronze boots. Robin felt like they looked familiar. But instead of fighting, like Robin expected, the hero and villain started bickering.
"Papi, please. How many times must we go through this?" The hero asked.
"Until all the monies in Miracle City is mine!" The villain responded.
"Come on, Papi. It's hard enough trying to steer my son to the path of good without you pulling stunts like this." The hero said.
"We both know he will choose to be a great villain like me." The villain stated.
"That is not true! Now return what you have stolen or you will not get any extra helpings of dinner tonight." The hero threatened.
Grumbling to himself, the villain dropped all the money bags. His mechanical suit then reverted into a sombrero being word by the old man. It was right then that Robin recognized who they were. This was the father and grandfather of El Tigre. According to El Tigre's file, the hero and villain that stood before Robin went by the names White Pantera and Puma Loco, respectively. Just as Robin was about to approach them, he saw a mechanical appendage come out of the Back of Puma Loco's sombrero and take one of the dropped money bags. Robin then made himself known.
"Hold it!" Robin shouted.
"Huh? Why the heck is this clown?" Puma Loco asked.
"I know him! He is Robin of the Teen Titans!" White Pantera said excitedly.
"That's right. And I think he took something while your back was turned." Robin said as he pointed at the older man.
White Pantera glared at his father as the elderly man dropped the money bag he had taken.
"Killjoy." Puma Loco grumbled.
"My thanks. But what brings you to Miracle City?" White Pantera asked.
"I'm looking for the one called El Tigre. I'm here to ask him to join the Teen Titans and-"
"MY SON?! A member of the Titans?! I knew he would be a hero!" White Pantera exclaimed loudly.
"There's still time." Puma Loco muttered.
"Right. Anyway, can you give him this when you see him?" Robin asked while handing White Pantera a communicator.
"Of course. Gracias." White Pantera remarked.
"De nada." Robin replied.
With that, Robin began the long trek back to his ship, while also taking a mental note to avoid the desert as much as possible from now on.
With that, the prologue is done. Here's hoping it was a good one. You can leave your thoughts on it down below.
Before we truly begin this story, there are a few things I want to establish:
1. The Teen Titans represented in this story are meant to be the ones from the original cartoon. Under no circumstances will I acknowledge Teen Titans Go if I don't have to.
2. The above also applies to the Powerpuff Girls. I envision them with their original designs, voices, and personalities here. I will not acknowledge the remake for as long as I can avoid doing so. Hopefully that's not until after this story is finished.
3. This may be labeled a 'Teen Titans' story, but none of the main Titans will be the focus of the story. The focus will be mostly on the various cartoon characters coming together as a new team of Titans. The main Titans will only be making sparse appearances in this.
4. For any show represented that had an established series finale, said series finale will be ignored. For example, Danny Phantom is in this story, but I'm going to act as if 'Phantom Planet' never happened.
As I stated, I hope you enjoyed the beginning of my latest story. If you did, let me know by dropping a review, follow, or favorite my way. It makes me really happy when I get those things. If you didn't enjoy it, you're more than welcome to express that opinion, but I humbly request that you do so as criticism instead of hatred. No one wants to see that on their works. It only makes me not want to write. I once heard a quote that went something like this: 'If your criticism inspires a writer to give up on their work, you have failed as a critic.' Don't be a failure. But again, I will accept criticism. It's the only way I'll improve.
Be sure to join me in the next chapter, where our young heroes have a choice to make, but not before getting hit with unexpected hardship. See you then!
