Have you noticed that in pretty much every cartoon series you get an episode where a character becomes germ-o-phobic. Well its about time there's one done for Teen Titans. So now I move onto the third member of the group. Based on my best friend, this is Anti-body.

Anti-body I: Sakutia

------------------------------------------.------

The full moon shone brilliantly that night. Maybe things might have finished differently had it not been for the rather small and skinny teenager running through the alleyway.

"How did they find me?" he thought as he plucked one of the many test tubes underneath his dark green trench-coat. He quickly held it to the light to look at the white label on the side.

"Its not much but It'll have to do." he wheezed from inside his gas mask, he could no longer see his pursuers but then he heard the sound of people running.

"He's got another one." Robin coughed spying the other test tube. During the battle with this thief he had developed a fever and couldn't stop coughing and sneezing. He began to feel slightly delirious, but there were more important things than getting sick at that moment. The boy in the coat threw the tube towards the Titans but the green eagle that was Beastboy caught it in its talons. Something then hit Beastboy in the back causing him to dropped the tube to the ground. Starfire had almost caught up to the boy when a smashing sound came from the wall next to her. A strange purple gas came billowing out of the tube. When it passed Starfire saw that her whole body was covered in green and purple spots and rashes. She suddenly felt very light headed and fainted to the ground.

"Star." robin yelled, he jumped to catch her but his fever finally got the better of him and he also fell unconscious. A layer a shadows enveloped both of the bodies and landed them gently on the floor.

"What should we do about them" Raven called to Cyborg as he fired off some beams from his cannon.

"B look after them." the robotic teen signalled to the eagle.

"Sure will." Beastboy said landing and morphing back into human form. Beastboy looked back at Robin and Starfire who seemed to be awakening.

"Ah nothing will go wrong." he thought, he changed into a cheetah and sprinted after his other friends. Though he didn't realise it, but it was far better that he left.

"You can't stop the power of Anti-body." the weedy boy shouted out from behind the dumpster. Anyone would be petrified in this situation except for the fact that he had one tube left.

"Yes." he cheered to himself "This will destroy them for sure."

"Alright, come out." Cyborg shouted. Anti-body calmly walked out from behind his hiding space. Cyborg and Raven immediately let their guard down.

Anti-body gave a sickly smile. "Tell me have you ever heard of a disease called Sakutia." Beastboy was just about to arrive on the scene when he heard those words. He stopped and stared at his paws. Memories flooded into his mind. A mosquito biting him, harsh African heat acting on him, the sounds of a life support machine, the thousands of small jars each carrying a small blood sample in on them were written the names of various animals. The pain soon came back to him, like having scorpions, snakes, killer bees and jellyfish all stinging and biting at the same time whilst sitting in a vat of salt was still not enough to describe it.

Beastboy snapped back into reality. He transformed into the biggest animal he could think of and bolted towards Raven and Cyborg. The great elephant pushed them both back and took the hit from the test tube. It then swallowed the tube whole, it cringed at the vile tasting liquid but drank it anyway.

Raven held her forehead, it felt like it was burning and the pain was getting quite bad. She straightened herself out and saw to her horror a green blur in front of her. Beastboy was sitting with his back arched and one arm holding his knees close to him. He sucked his thumb and was rocking back and forth.

He kept muttering "Sakutia, Sakutia."
