Chapter 5: Breaking Point

"I'll ask you again. Did you try to defeat Slade?" This time Robin was extremely annoyed.

Starfire remained silent. 'Slade must be defeated.' was the only thought she had. Her silence added to the tension that now threatened to break the Titans' unity. Fortunately, Beast Boy weakened the tension.

"Hey Cyborg, I bet I can beat you in any game we have." declared the green changeling.

"You're on! But let's add to the bet. If, correction, When you lose, you eat a strip of bacon. But if by some miracle you beat me, I'll eat your stupid tofu." Said Cyborg.

Beast Boy quickly accepted, but not before declaring that tofu was not stupid, and soon a racing game began. The race was back and forth, with plenty of whining along the way when someone fell behind. Starfire's thoughts had been broken, and both she and Raven were watching intently, Starfire to get her mind off Slade, and Raven to see the loser eat something. 'Maybe the tofu/meat wars will finally end' she thought hopefully. Robin chose to return to his room, this time to research. However, he did not research Slade. "Just in case" he said to himself as he opened a binder with information on Starfire. Finally the race was on the home stretch. "Get ready to eat a REAL pizza, BB" taunted Cyborg as he took the lead. His plan would fail as Beast Boy passed him at the last second. Beast Boy jumped in joy.

"WINNER!! Get ready to eat a tofu surprise tomorrow morning, Cy!" Beast Boy celebrated.

The Titans, however, was not the only group that had leadership problems. Daemon's peaceful sleep was interrupted when Glare broke down his door.

"What do you request now?" asked the sleepy villain.

"You are not concerned about your plan at all? You are not concerned about any of us possibly turning on you?" asked the confused Glare.

"I trust you four to help carry out the plan. You are all powerful. The Titans should be nothing more than a warm-up." Said the confident Daemon.

This statement angered Glare even more. 'He doesn't even consider us a threat? What if we turn on him?' he thought. Daemon interrupted his thoughts.

"If you were to fail, your pride as a warrior would be shattered, correct? It is not honorable to turn an ally into an enemy by attacking from behind. I doubt you or the others have the courage to turn on me after this long." Stated Daemon.

Glare quickly exited the room to go talk with the others.

'This is exactly how Stage 2 was planned to go. This is a big mistake, Glare. It does not matter what you four plan, for mine is perfect. It cannot be stopped.' Daemon thought confidently. He returned to his slumber.

Dregos, Blaze, Glare, and Tyler were all in the training room. There were weights scattered everywhere.

"So, are we prepared to deal with Daemon when the time comes?" asked Glare.

"Daemon thinks he creates brilliant plans. We will show him how wrong he is." calmly said Blaze.

"He better prepare to get his butt whooped!" yelled Tyler.

"SHHHHHHHHH!!" whispered Glare. "We don't want him to know what we're planning."

"Even so, our new moves will be too much for him to handle." Whispered Dregos.

The four villains all smiled confidently, except was Blaze, who merely smiled on the inside. 'No force can stop us' they all thought.

*Back at the Tower, 8:00 a.m.

The whole team was awake and eating breakfast. Only two people were talking.

"Do I HAVE to eat this?" complained Cyborg. He was staring down into a plate of tofu.

"You offered the bet, Cy." Pointed out Beast Boy." So yes, eat up!"

Cyborg slowly opened his mouth, and dumped a glob of tofu inside. He made a face unlike anything Beast Boy had ever seen before. Cyborg slowly swallowed with a pained look on his face.

"How did it taste?" Beast boy joked. Cyborg opened his eyes and was not amused.

"That was the most disgusting thing I have ever eaten!" Cy yelled.

"It couldn't have been THAT bad!" Beast boy said.

Robin was still thinking about Starfire. 'Could she actually have joined Slade? Something is missing. There is one detail that will explain everything. What is it?'

"We should attack Slade now. He will not expect an attack this early." said Starfire.

"Guess you're right, Star. Let's go." said Cyborg.

Meanwhile....

Glare, Tyler, Dregos, and Blaze were in a huddle going over last second plans.

"So, are you three ready?" asked Glare.

"Let's do this." Said Dregos.

"Daemon's goin' down" said Tyler.

"Yes" was Blaze's answer.

Daemon walked into the room. He was dressed as Slade.

"It is time to destroy the Teen Titans." He said. 'Stage 2 has begun. My victory is sealed.' He thought to himself.

End Chapter 5

Daemon's still confident, as always. Does he know what his "teammates" are planning? Can the Titans win? What exactly is Stage 2 of Daemon's plan? Some will be revealed next chapter. Read/review please. It'll get more angst/romance soon. I promise!!

I didn't see a flame, so here's a preview.
