A/N: HELLO PEOPLE! IT IS I, SKYCHILD101, WHO IS DEFINITELY EXCITED TO WRITE THIS STORY WITH DIXXY! *ahem* but yeah. Um I don't think I have much to say given that Dixxy had already said everything that needed to be said, so I guess it's safe to say…without further ado, I give you the chapter you have been waiting for!
(TWO) Confrontations, Aliens and Introductions
The Titans continued walking. That was, until Raven stopped in her tracks and narrowed her eyes at a bush that had caught her attention.
She could've sworn that she had seen it move. Maybe it was just the breeze…? But the problem with that possibility is that there wasn't any breeze…
She stared at the bush for a few seconds until she shrugged it off but no sooner had she resumed walking that the bush rustled again, and this time a group of people came out, all charged with weapons.
Raven immediately placed her shield around them, in order to avoid the weapons' rays.
Seeing this, Robin became alert and turned around to see his fellow teammate holding up a shield.
"Who's attacking us?" Robin asked.
"I…don't know." Raven replied as she struggled to keep the shield from being broken.
Robin narrowed his eyes and saw that the shield was going to give out soon. "Alright. When the shield is broken, we move."
"Roger that, Captain." Beast Boy said, saluting.
Jinx rolled her eyes. "Must you always give some kind of remark?"
"Must you always be so dull?"
She sneered.
Seeing that the shield wouldn't hold long, Robin quickly took out several of smoke pellets and threw them down just as the shield got broken. The MBC coughed when the mist came and Sam squinted her eyes in an attempt to see through the fog.
"Ugh, can't see." she commented.
"Whoever came up with this strategy must have a brilliant mind." Chris responded as he too tried to scan through the fog.
"Yeah whatever. Let's just try and find…these people." Danny said before he raised his blaster and readied it.
"Should we split up?" Cathy questioned.
"No. As it is fog, we might end up getting completely lost and hurt one another." Sam answered. "So be sharp, guys."
The group narrowed their eyes and began their search. However, it wasn't too long that a sudden swoosh sound came, which alerted Sam. She quickly turned around but did not fire…just in case.
As they continued to walk, little did they know that something from high in the air was watching them. That something happened to be Cyborg and Beast Boy who was in the form of pterodactyl.
"Alright, BB. Do your thing." Cy whispered.
Even though he didn't see it, the half-robot knew Beast Boy nodded. And then, the green animal let go of his claws, Cyborg then free-falling.
"Maybe they're gone?" Chris suggested after a while.
"You kidding me? I bet you anything that they're using the 'let's hide and attack once the enemies are vulnerable' method." Danny responded.
"Hate to say it but I think Danny's right." Sam said.
And as if on cue, a voice shouted :
"Or maybe they are attacking you from above!"
The shadow started to appear on the ground, which made Sam wary.
At the last minute, the group rolled out of the way just as two metal hands smashed down at the ground.
Sam grunted when she fell to the side but she fired her weapon to attack Cyborg, who used his hand to block the attack.
"Ha, this is all you can do? I was expecting a real fight! Not some tango dancing." Cyborg remarked, grinning.
Irritated, Sam growled and picked herself up and aimed a kick at him. However, Cyborg instantly jumped in the air and out came Robin to take his place. He kicked Sam in the chest, but while he did, she pointed her blaster at Robin and released it.
As though in slow motion, Robin twisted his body to the side in order to avoid the yellow streak. It brushed past by his face by an inch. Noticing that she didn't succeed, Sam performed a kick as well. The two of them both got the hit, which sent them flying backwards and made them hit the ground with a thud.
"Ugh, get away! Get away!" Cathy screeched, flailing her arms around in an attempt to wack a flying green bat. "I hate bats!"
And she finally managed to smack the green blood sucker, which collided against a tree. It then slid down like a ragged doll, dazed. Beast Boy groaned as he changed back to a human.
Cathy cheered at her successful hit : "Haha, take that—aaaaah!" …only to have her victory come to a short end when a green bolt zoomed towards her. Using her alien power, Cathy stretched her legs out to the side to avoid the bolt.
The alien looked at the front to see that red-head again, except this time, instead of looking normal, her eyes and hands were both charged with green power.
"So uh I'm guessing you're not a human as I thought?" Cathy said before she started to avoid the shooting bolts.
Meanwhile, Danny narrowed his eyes while he was facing the pale human whom he had seen before.
"Bet you can't defeat me." he smirked.
"And you are already annoying." Raven remarked, causing the spiked-haired boy to frown.
"Hey!"
He then got his blaster out at the front but he didn't even got a chance to fire it since, within seconds, the object was encased in dark magic. It flew out of his hands and because of this, the fighter got a shock surprise look… before he too got covered with the same kind of power and was thrown away.
"Wow, that was exciting." Raven replied in her monotone and glided off to see if any else of her teammates needed help.
Jinx performed a flip in the air to dodge the oncoming attack from Chris, who then frowned. As they were fighting, he observed the young fighter's movements. She was very good in hand-to-hand combat, something which the genius wasn't great at.
"You know, the longer you take to fire an attack, the greatest advantage the enemy has." Jinx told him.
"Well, normally I wouldn't take this long… if only you weren't so damn good!"
Jinx gave a small scoff. "Some fighters are just…gifted."
She then ran towards Chris and started to throw punches at him, trying to make him lose his balance so that she could use her powers to finish him off. The blue-haired just managed to block some of the punches but it wasn't until then that Jinx made her arms go between his, so that she could push them away to the side… and then the sorcerer went down to perform a side-sweep !
Chris grunted when he crashed on the ground.
"And if I were you, I would give up now."
"Why would we do that?"
And as if to answer his question, Chris felt something warm breathing on his head. Feeling the chill, it made his hair stand up !
He slowly turned around, after getting up, and eventually, found himself face to face with a…dinosaur !
Chris gulped, staring at the animal with wide eyes.
The T-Rex snorted and then let out a roar. He screamed, and Jinx used this chance to release her pink powers, which struck the fighter.
"Some people just have bad luck." the pink-haired girl said.
Having enough of this, Robin decided to take out his two birdarangs and he aimed them at his current target. The birdarangs twirled in the air and caught Danny, who was about to attack Raven, who had her back to him, and dragged him to a tree, pinning him to it.
"Hey! What the—" yelled the jock, struggling to get loose.
While he was trying to break free, the same thing had happened to the other members : they all had been neutralized !
"Lemme go!" exclaimed the red MBC member.
"No! Not unless you tell me who you work for!" Robin demanded. "Who are you!?"
"Ha you will never find out because I'm not talking!" Danny responded, stubbornly.
Robin narrowed his eyes.
"I would start talking if I were you." Cyborg said.
"No!"
Robin raised one of his eyebrows until an idea came to his mind.
"Raven."
Raven sighed. "Do I have to?"
"Yes."
Just from this simple conversation, it made Danny raise an eyebrow. "Have to what?"
Raven stared at him for a bit before she pulled her hood down… only to have Danny scream !
"Okay, I'll talk! I'LL TALK!"
:(/\):
"I'll start off with an easy question." Robin began after a long silence. "Who are you?"
Chris, Danny and Cathy turned their heads to the side to look at Sam, who seemed to be staring at the floor, as though it was suddenly fascinating. Sensing that someone was staring at her, she looked up and saw that her friends were observing her with insistence.
"What?" she asked.
"Well, since you're technically the leader…" Chris started.
"Ugh, I told you. There are no leaders in the club!" Sam exclaimed. "But anyways, I'm Sam. The blonde one is Cathy. The blue-haired boy is Chris and the annoying one is Danny. (Danny glared at her for the "insult"). We're just a group of ordinary people—well, almost ordinary—who are in a club called the Monster Buster Club and judging by your looks, I'm assuming you have never heard of us, am I right?"
There were murmurs of "yes".
Sam took a breath. "Our purpose is to fight aliens and to protect our hometown, SingleTown, while it is also our job to protect the world."
"Why are you here?"
"At first, we came here for a nice relaxing vacation, but obviously that got turned upside down when one of our gadgets went haywire. Apparently, there was an alien in the Wolfram Woods so we decided to check it out. But as we did, we lost signal. Eventually, we found you."
"What do you do with the aliens?"
"We use a handy dandy gadget called the Vacuvator. This machine sucks the alien into this green container, and then we send them to the Intergalactic Prison through a tube we have at home." Chris stated as he pulled out the weapon.
Cyborg slid beside him to examine it. "Did you build that?"
"Yeap."
"It's nice to know someone who is handy with gadgets." Cyborg replied, shaking his hand.
Starfire glided towards Cathy. "Where do you come from? What is your favorite color? Do you wish to be my friend?"
"Um… Rhapsodia. Pink. And sure!" she exclaimed.
Star gasped. "Hello new friend!" she said, pulling Cathy into a tight hug.
"Ugh, Cathy. We're here to find the alien. Not make new friends. We don't even know who they are." Sam said.
"Aw." Cathy reacted, upset.
"Speaking about you, who are you?"
Robin crossed his arms over his chest while wearing an unreadable expression. "We're the Teen Titans. Just like you guys, we protect our city from mad men. I'm Robin, the leader of the group. The red-head is Starfire (Starfire waved). The half-robot is Cyborg—he is our Tech guy."
"Really?" Chris asked, delighted by the info.
"Yeap. Why in fact, I built a car straight from scratch."
"Cool!"
"The purple-cloaked is Raven."
Raven gave a little nod.
Danny muttered under his breath.
"The green one is Beast Boy and the one with the pink hair is Jinx."
"Why did you come to the Woods?"
"Our alarm set off so we decided to check it out."
Cathy scrunched her face as though she was thinking and gasped. "Oh! What if we worked together to capture the alien!?"
"Uh…I don't know…" Sam trailed off.
"We know so little about you and vice versa." Raven said. "Our ways of fighting are different than yours."
Sam blinked. "That's…exactly what I was going to say!"
"Oh, forgot to mention : Raven can read minds." Robin pointed it out.
"Yeah, way to state the important information last. Thanks, Robin." Danny said.
Sam nudged him. "Excuse him. He can be a little bit of an idiot."
"We can relate." Raven eyed the green one who was talking to the blue-haired boy.
"We need to find out who or what this alien is… and find out his plan." Robin stated, walking towards the computer.
"Is that the big screen pad?" Chris asked, gliding beside him.
"Um, yes."
"Awesome!" he replied, his eyes shining with delight.
"Don't mind him. When it comes to technology, he's a complete geek." Danny stated.
Chris gave a glare at him. "Since you don't really know what you're looking for, why don't I help?"
Robin gave a small shrug. "Sure."
"You play video games?" Danny asked after he went through a pile of games.
"Yeap." Beast Boy asked. "Do you?"
"From time to time—no way! You got the latest game?"
"Yeap."
Raven rolled her eyes. "Can I throw you off the roof and say it was an accident?" she muttered as she walked past them.
Sam smirked. "I like you already, Raven."
