[I still don't own the titans... for now... muahaha]
A few weeks passed and besides a quick brawl with Mumbo at the bank, the Titans have had little to do but hang around the tower.
'At least Starfire isn't hogging the bathroom this morning.' thought Beast Boy as he finished brushing his teeth. He decided it was going to be another slow day, so he went looking for Terra, maybe they could play some Gamestation.
"Terra?" Beast Boy knocked on her door. A few moments passed before he decided to open it. Not in there.
"What's up, BB?" asked Robin as he walked down the hallway. He had just gotten up, Beast Boy could tell, he was still dressed for action as always but his hair was messily bent to one side.
"Just up early to beat the traffic," he chuckled then locked eyes with Robin looking a little more serious "have you seen Terra?"
"Not yet, have you tried her communicator?"
"It was in her room" replied Beast Boy pointing a thumb at Terra's door.
"Oh, well maybe she's in the living room."
The living room was empty. "Terra? Hello?" with ten floors of Titan tower to search Beast Boy was simply going to have to get started.
A few minutes later Raven, Cyborg, Starfire and Robin were in the main room eating breakfast.
"Rae, you sure you don't want any waffles?" Cyborg asked because, once again, Raven only drank tea for breakfast. "I don't think you should just drink that stuff instead of eating a real meal."
"Herbal tea is fine, besides I can still taste that 'ultra meat experience' pizza you got me to eat last week..."
"Yeah, well I don't see you eat much and something's been draining the tower's power grid lately, you sure you don't have an extra fridge in your room?"
Raven put down her cup to look at her irritating companion. "I'm sure."
"Uh..." Robin popped in, "any of you guys seen Terra this morning?"
Wide eyed with fear, Starfire dropped her fork and pointed at the bay window across the room. "I believe I have found her!"
Just then Beast Boy entered the main room though the elevator door. "TERRA!" he saw it too.
Terra was strapped to a floating craft just outside the window. The craft was flanked by two more tripods, but these were clearly much larger then the first one as they reached the full height of the Titan's ten story tall home.
"Titans, move!"
The two tripods opened fire. Energy bolds and solid projectiles smashed through the windows and began to lay waste to the room. The couch was blasted to several pieces and computer terminals exploded. The floor, ceiling and walls were riddled with pock marks and burns under the massive onslaught.
The Titans had no chance to protect themselves. Raven's shielding around the table was soon penetrated then broken outright when she took a direct hit. Although Beast Boy changed to a mouse and raced quickly to the blown out window, he only made it to the kitchen before he too was shot down.
With Raven's shield down Starfire was soon blasted out of her chair and Cyborg was hit so hard that he smashed through the far wall.
Only Robin got through the barrage unscathed while taking cover behind a large section of couch and under his dense polymer coat.
"How dare you waste The Hunter's time." a harsh yet synthetic voice emanated from the center craft. "The probes destruction promised a good hunt, and all that is found is this."
Back in a human form, Beast Boy opened his eyes to see Terra. She was unconscious and still tied to the hood of the craft.
"This error, this... miscalculation." the craft began to back up slowly from the top floor of the tower that lay in ruin. "It will be taken... a trophy... but you... you are not even worth destroying."
"Give her back!" demanded Robin as he leaped over the ruined couch and threw two explosive disks. They exploded on either side of the craft but away from Terra. The craft rocked from the explosion but was able to stay afloat. One of the tripods stepped before it and blasted Robin on his back. The Titan slid until he collided with a battered Raven, whose cape had seen better days.
"You have lost. Do not try that again." The tripods moved away too and marched through the bay waters after the craft.
Though it pained him to move, Robin struggled to his feet and threw a tracker at one of the tripods. It connected and activated.
The Teen Titans had no choice... they would have to try again.
