Author's Notes: I am in need of some help desperately. If anyone could IM
me or e-mail me with suggestions for the battle it would be much
appreciated. Once again thanks for all the reviews, I'll try to update
faster next time.
Chapter Five: First Strike
It had been a horrid battle, since there was only two fighters able to withstand the water and the ship being attacked on all sides. This battle had turned out to be useless, and they found themselves back to where the whole adventure began: at that cave where Aqualad had led them to the first time.
Beast Boy sighed as he kicked a stone angrily into the water, "we should've won but that Trident dude got the best of us!" He ranted mostly to himself than anyone else.
"I hear you there BB," Cyborg said as he looked sadly at the ship. The only thing that he was glad for was that Gizmo was able to take care of these damages.
"We'll do better next time," piped in Starfire with her usual optimism but even she was a bit ashamed of that pathetic battle.
"If there is a next one," Raven now added folding her arms across her chest as she stared around with a serious, but distant look: her hood drawn up of course.
It was now Robin's turn to comment but he said nothing, sharing the same feelings that everyone else shared at the moment. As he just hung his head he kept no emotion on his face.
Everyone was taking the defeat roughly, but not as bad as Aqualad was, as he stood in a corner away from them, jaw tightened head bowed. Everyone glanced at them but didn't say a word to him.
"Listen. We can just mope all day, we have to form a plan." Raven said standing up straight looking at each of them serious once again. Finding no support Raven felt a tinge of frustration. "So you guys are just going to mope around here and let that bastard destroy buildings?"
"Nothing else we can do Raven, we couldn't defeat him last time and we can't this time either," Beast Boy said not even looking at Raven.
"That's because we don't have a plan!" Raven said as she looked at Aqualad who just stood there. Glad when Robin nodded agreeing with her.
"You have a point Raven, we have to give this a try again. Where would we start first? We know that he has many clones of himself, more than we can count." Robin said as he looked at each of them.
"That's it!" Cyborg added to the light bulb moment. "We destroy whatever is creating the clones and boom! Where done with that threat."
"Just what's after that, we throw a party and have Trident himself ruin it with his many clones?" Beast Boy said not even attempting to sound sarcastic.
"Be not mad dear Beast Boy, both Raven and Cyborg has a wonderful plan I'm sure we can conclude to some sort of succeeding." Once again Star said something optimistic as she smiled at everyone.
Robin took strength in her smile and nodded once again, "destroying that clone machine sounds good. Anyone for volunteers?"
Cyborg's mechanical hand went up instantly but no one else's did. Aqualad looked at them and stepped forward towards them. "I will since this is my fight." He said in a voice unlike his own.
Raven looked at him and wanted to smile faintly glad to see he was being strong.
"Why don't you help Raven, since you helped us out with the suggestion?" Robin asked her smiling a little at her.
"Sure." Raven shrugged though she was glad she wouldn't be just standing around moping.
It was the first strike for the battle over Atlantis and even the continents, but nonetheless the Titans did give up. Destroying any means of Trident's regeneration would be the first step.
