This is my 1st fanfic, and I only own Manticore.
Thanks to all of you that reviewed! I'll reply to them now:
Wysteria Fox: Thanks for the compliments! I'm not the best storyteller in the world, so that's probably why the story is "jumpy" as you put it. I'm glad you thought the description was good, because usually in stories, I'm horrible at descriptions.
White Shadow: Thanks for the compliments, too! I'm glad you liked the part where Star sent Cy's tool to the repair shop, even though I didn't intend for it to be a joke. I've got a reason why Raven didn't trust her, but I don't know how to put into my story. However, I already know how i'm going to put it into the sequel, if I ever write one.
Dan Heron: Thanks for reviewing! I know it's going fast, but like I said before, i'm not the best storyteller in the world.
Rae: Thanks! No, i'm not going to put Terra in these because I haven't even seen her yet! I made this story up before the episode with Terra in it was on the air (i've only been a member for about a week). I did know how to spell Azarath Metrion Zinthos, but thanks for helping! Yeah, Azarath is were they went to school.
Guest: Thanks! it's nice to know that so many people enjoy my story!
Well, enough with replying, let's get on with the story!

Manticore Chapter 3 The Explanation
The Titans stared at her for a while before Cyborg said, "Manticore, what is this, some kind of joke? A way to get back at us for accusing you of stealing the tools?"
"It's no joke, and it's partially yes and partially no about this being an act of revenge. What I never told you guys was that before I came to the here, I met Slade." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Flashback~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Two Slade bots (A./N. That's what I call those robots that look like humans) dragged Manticore into the room that Slade is always seen in. As soon as they stopped, Manticore said, "Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos!" and they blew up. "You do realize," she said, "That I could have done that a long time ago, so don't send any new ones at me. I didn't because I want to know, what do you want?"
"You misunderstand me. I didn't want to capture you. I wanted to make a deal with you."
"What?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~End of Flashback~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"He offered me a job, a place to live, everything I needed to live on Earth. What I had to do was to bring you guys to him. I've been on other planets, and I've learned that the people that trust you are the ones that are good. You guys didn't trust me, even though I couldn't have been the thief because I had taken a walk while you were gone. I concluded that Slade must be good and you must be evil because he trusted me."
"Manticore, that's not how it works!" Raven said, "We're good, Slade's evil!"
"There is the human expression: 'That's what they all say.' I'm not going to trust you if you aren't going to trust me."
"But why are you doind this to Beast Boy and Starfire?" Robin asked, "Starfire never said that she thought you were the thief, and BB always believed you!"
"Slade said, 'It's was all of the Titans and a job, or none of them and no job. Basically, Everybody or Nobody.' Sorry BB and Star, but I have to." The titans struggled to get free, but it was no use. Manticore walked out of the room and forced the Titans to follow her. When Raven tried to use her powers, Manticore gagged her. She pulled all of the titans into a boat that was waiting for them in the water and put the titans in it. After that, she knocked them out. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Raven woke up in a cell that was resilliant to her powers. She saw that Robin was tied up and his utility belt was outside his cell, BB was in a cage that changed to counter whatever he turned into, Starfire's seem to prevent her from using her Tameranian powers, and Cyborg was stuck (upside down) to a magnetic wall. Raven's cell door closed and she saw some keys with a violet aura around them going to Manticore. "Manticore, please, don't do this!"
Manticore ignored her and left them room. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Manticore said, "Slade, all of the Titans are in their cells. I have done what you asked."
"Excellent work, Manticore. You have the job. You can go now." Manticore left the room, but something bugged her. She sensed that Slade wanted to do more then just keep them locked up until they had paid for whatever crimes they had done. She went to her new home and logged onto her computer that Slade had given her. Despite being from another planet, she was an excellent hacker. She hacked into Slade's files and found out what Slade realy intended to do. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Slade's File~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Computer, Send a command to the robots to kill one Titan ever hour, starting with Raven, after Manticore brings them here. I want you to do Robin last. If he is willing to be my apperentice, he and all of his still living friends can live. If not, continue destroying the titans. They will finally pay for foiling all of my plans! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Manticore stared at the computer, knowing that Slade had lied to her. Used her. He was going to kill the Titans, starting with Raven! She began to cry. Raven and the other titans were going to die and it was all her fault! When she finished crying, she found out about all of the times Slade had commited crimes and realized that the Titans were telling the truth when they said, "That's not how it works!" She logged out. She looked at the clock. Raven had 15 minutes left! Then she knew what she had to do. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Raven and the other Titans were still trying to escape. The door opened. Raven thought, *Oh great. Slade or Manticore has come to torture us.* She said, "Leave us alone!" A few seconds later, Manticore appeared, holding the keys! Before she could do anything, the back of the room (which was pitch-black) lit up. Everyone turned to see Slade and a whole bunch of robots.
Slade said, "I had higher hopes for you, Manticore. New deal: put the keys down and leave alive, or open the doors and die. I knew you couldn't be trusted, considering Raven being your best friend."
"You...you mean you never really trusted me?!?!"
"Of course not. I never trust anyone."
"That leaves me with one choice!" Manticore unlocked Raven's cell. With Raven's help, she unlocked all the others before the robots started shooting. Raven opened Robin's while Manticore opened BB's. Robin opened Star's and Star opened Cy's. Cyborg's systems went crazy, and Star had to defend him and help him while the others fought.
Raven and Manticore took hold of one of the others hands, then chanted in unison, "Azarath, Metrion, ZINTHOS!!!" Manticore's eyes glowed yellow as Raven's glowed white. A blackish/purpleish aura came from each of their free hands and hit many of the robots. The aura was about 4 times as powerful as a regular one, and each Azarathian only felt the strain that they usually felt for a regular one.
The battle raged on for a while, then Slade said, "This has gone far enough!" Then he set and started a bomb! Cy saw it (he and Star had fixed his systems) and alerted the other titans. Robin said, "Titans, retreat!" and they left, but not soon enough. The blast sent them flying, and when they landed, only Manticore was still concious. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Raven woke in a hospital bed. She saw all of the other titans, except for Cyborg, were awake. Robin was telling a nurse what had happened. "Could someone please tell me what is going on?"
The nurse said, "Well, from what I know and what Robin told me, Manticore carried you five after the explosion to here. All we know is that she was carrying you in violet auras then collapsed from exshaution when we saw you."
"Where is she?"
"On the bed next to you." Sure enough, Manticore was there. The little thing that goes "Beep, beep, beep" and goes straight when the person on the bed is dead was barely above straight. The only way Raven knew she was alive was that the thing was still beeping. Raven lay down and closed her eyes. Tears came out just before she fell asleep.
Raven woke up to the noise that you hear when the line on the moniter- thing goes straight. "Manticore!" She nearly screamed.
She sat up and saw that what made the noise was Cyborg. "Sorry," he said, "I was rebooting." Raven got fairly mad but nothing blew up. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A few weeks later, Manticore was well enough to get out of the hospital. The Titans had gotten out about 4 days after the explosion. Raven had visited Manticore everyday, and BB had visited her a lot, but not everyday. When Manticore was well, she told the Titans, "I'm sorry, but I have to leave. I broke your trust, and I need time for our trust to mend. I also need to tie a few loose ends."
"You have to leave?" BB and Raven asked.
"Yes. But don't worry, I'll come back." She began to fly away, the turned back and said, "Oh, by the way Raven, I got this before I left! They finally finished it!" She used her powers to give Raven a little box. Raven opened it to see something she and Manticore had asked a craftsman on their planet to make: a mini colored sculpture made of diamond that had a picture of Raven and Manticore together, smiling. On the bottom, it said, "Friends Eternally." Raven watched Manticore fly away with tears of joys streaming down her cheeks. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Finally! I'm finished! If you want me to write the sequel, please review and tell me that (I already know how the sequel is going to go)! I'd like 5 "yes" reviews before I write the next one.
