Jedi: I have returned with chapter numbuh three. Be proud of me!
~ The Raven's Omen - Chapter 3
Soaking in the torture, Raven tried everything in her willpower to not yell out. She couldn't let herself be found by the rest of the Titans. But a pulse of energy had shot through her veins and she couldn't help but shriek out in pain. Just then, the door was smashed open by... a gorilla? No, wait... that was BeastBoy! Starfire let out a whoop of triumph, knowing her teammates came to help. Raven grimaced at being found, but another part of her was so glad he was there.
The first thing that caught BeastBoy's eye was the shimmering cell that Starfire was locked in. But his reactions bolted when seeing Raven with her hands and legs wired, quaking violently and withstanding the urge to cry. It was the most horrific sight he has ever seen. His eyes bulged out in fright.
"OH MY GOD!" he cried out in shock. And that was enough for Robin and Cyborg to understand that there was something very wrong going on. Finally down the flight of stairs, the two also couldn't help but gawk at the situation. There was nobody else around... or so they thought. So they charged ahead to help their friends.
But out of the shadows came Mistress Megara, equipping a rifle-like machine, plated in lead and unlike any other gun. Bullets weren't needed and it had four sockets connected with even more electrical wires. She abrasively pointed it to the boys.
"Congratulations, children!" she exclaimed. "You should be honored to be captured and be in the presence of such an eminent, creative genius as myself. Too bad you can't stop for autographs..."
The rifle cocked and the three Titans spread out automatically. Megara fired at the closest Titan possible to her range, and it turned out be Robin. The electric blast from the gun hit his left ankle when he was in the middle of a leap towards Starfire. The blast paralyzed him from the waist down and he was not able to use his legs.
"One down, two to go," Megara said smugly.
BeastBoy rushed to Robin, hoping he was not severely hurt, but he set that thought aside when he noticed out the corner of his eye that Mistress Megara was aiming at him. Morphing into a mouse, he scurried under the chaotic mess of tools on the floor, where the psycho-lady couldn't see him. The machine that was basically sucking the energy out of Raven was still running. BeastBoy -- still as a mouse -- ran to the wiring.
"Now, how do I deactivate this thing?" he thought out loud, staring thoughtfully at the many electric cables before him. Having no idea of what to do, he chose the risk. "Eenie, Meenie, Miney, Mo... catch a lizard by the toe." BeastBoy grasped a random cable and cut it with his teeth.
"AAAAAAAAAAAUUUGH!" Raven screamed even louder. Something had happened. That throbbing she had just felt wasn't like the others... it reached her very soul and spread through her body with a sting. Sweat from her forehead started to drip out from under her attire's hood.
"My bad!" BeastBoy panicked and proceeded to pull out all of the wiring until the machine had stopped. But Raven was half-conscious by then.
While all of this was happening, Cyborg had run to the cell that held Starfire and he looked around, searching for some sort of device to get her out. When there was none, he laid his hand against the glowing wall. Nothing happened.
"Oh no!" Starfire said after seeing this. "Only the uncanny lady has the capability to open this gleaming chamber! Cyborg! You must catch her and--"
Before she could even finish, Cyborg had blasted a flare at the cell, causing it to just dematerialize. For a moment, Star stood in awe and mystification at what just happened.
"...oh," she finally uttered silently.
Megara was not in the mood that day. Grunting in annoyance, she held up her rifle and set to shoot Cyborg and Star. She grinned maliciously as she saw their shocked faces and was just about to pull the trigger, but she unexpectedly dropped it and cried out, clutching her foot. Megara tripped over a piece of a motor and fell backwards.
BeastBoy turned back to his original form, and started spitting in repugnance. He walked to Cyborg, who was pulling Robin up to his feet.
"Dude, I was expecting a picnic with my friends today, not a late-arrival rescue, a burned tongue from chewing cables and biting a crazed villain's nasty foot!" He stuck out his charred up tongue and Cyborg recoiled.
"Man, what makes you think I wanna see that?!" he cried out, turning away disgusted by BeastBoy's mouth.
Megara was slowly getting up, gradually leaning toward her weapon.
"Concentrate, guys!" Robin said. He could now move, so he wobbled to his feet and stretched his legs. "Where did Starfire go?"
Starfire was unhooking Raven from the cuffs and lines. She grabbed her shoulders and stood her up.
"Let's go, Raven!" she said letting her go, which made Raven fall to the ground. "Oops. I-I'm sorry... but we must leave now!" Star picked her up by the shoulders again and the rest of the Titans helped as well. Evidently, they had to carry her all the way back to the Tower.
"Hold it!" they heard Megara's voice say. Turning rapidly, they see she was now back on her feet, holding her electric stun rifle. "I am going to get my job back! You all die today!"
Cyborg raised his eyebrow and glanced at Robin. "Now?" he asked.
Robin nodded.
"It's time to go to the offensive!" Robin said, bounding to the opposite wall, bouncing against it heading for Megara and knocking her rifle away. Using starbolt, Starfire blew up most of the mistress' backup weapons, revealing the woman to be just another crazed person. She was nothing without her equipment and it was well-shown. She had fallen to her knees and stared around bewildered at her shattered laboratory.
"My... precious..." she whispered in a sob.
"Oh, please," BeastBoy rolled his eyes. "Can you be any more clichéd?"
"Good job, Titans," Robin proclaimed, kicking excess rubble out of his way. "Let's send the mistress back to jail and take Raven back home." He looked down at Raven, concerned. "I have a feeling she'll be staying handicapped for awhile..."
