Yo I'm back...well I think I'm probably gonna wrap this up soon. I know it's been a long road and there was alota fun and such. This is probably one of the closing chapters and well you will have to see for your self. Oh and about switching to Wolf and Ryoko so much...sorry but I wanted to enhance the whole experience of finding ones past. Therefore, I put more Wolf and Ryoko than Raven and Beast Boy. I WILL put a major fluff moment or two between Raven and Beast Boy SOMWHERE! If there is one thing I do, it is always follow my word...Oh I know New Years is coming up right?

"Talking"
'Thinking'
With a clang of metal and a scream of terror, it was all over...Wolf yelled and threw S-900 across the warehouse to see the scene before him. What he saw is what he didn't expect. Ryoko sat on the ground with her hands covering her face and the sword lay at her side, charred to a crisp. The robot was nowhere to be found save for a scrap of its shroud and...In front of Ryoko was a wall of pure red flames. "Holy shit..." Was all Wolf said as he stared at the anomaly. Ryoko slightly removed her hands from her face and her crimson eyes scanned the room. She saw Wolf looking in front of her with eyes as wide as dinner plates and she diverted her attention to where he was looking. She stared at the wall of burning red flames and she was intrigued as well as frightened.
Ryoko gently reached out her hand to touch the flames. "Ryoko don't!" Wolf shouted but Ryoko ignored his warnings as her index finger touched the barrier. In an instant the wall broke into several thousand little flames and the turned to a whirlwind surrounding Ryoko. Eventually the hurricane of flames began close around Ryoko in smaller and smaller circles. Wolf rushed to Ryokos side to retrieve her from the flames but Ryoko refused to leave saying, "Stop I know what I'm doing! I hope..." The blazing tornado finally engulfed Ryokos entire body and it seemed to merge with her. A blinding flash lit the warehouse and when it was over Ryoko stood there as if nothing had ever happened. However, Ryoko did look spooked at what had just occurred.
"Uh Ryoko? How did you do that?" Wolf asked as he looked at Ryoko with a truly confused look. "I don't know..." She said dumbfounded. "So It appears that those ignorant natives weren't so idiotic after all..." Kross said with a scowl. "No matter...S-900 is their better, it has all the genetics of all my specimens. They will die..." Kross finished with a grin. On the other side of the room, S-900 stood with its eyes shifting from white to red. Wolf was too preoccupied to see a blazing body slam into him and send him flying. Wolf flipped in the air and saw what hit him. S-900 was now covered in flames from head to toe.
Ryoko smirked slightly at an idea that had at that point just reached her cranium. Concentrating to the greatest of her ability she turned her energy on S-900. In a matter of seconds S-900s' flames were stripped from it and they were now gathering inside of Ryoko. S-900 stared as its fire was so easily taken from itself. However, it felt nothing, no anger, no hate, no fear, just the drive to kill them due to its masters' orders. While Ryoko was still silently celebrating for doing something she didn't think she could S-900 took this opportunity and struck Ryoko with the back of its claws.
Ryoko flew a good distance and was caught by the neck. She looked down the clawed hand and found S-900 with murder written deep in its white eyes as it drew its claws back in an attack. Just as its claws began to lead their assault into her head, a gleaming metal blade burst from S-900s stomach. It stopped the attack and its eyes went wide. It turned its head and looked at a VERY pissed Wolf staring it down with his one good eye. "You just signed your death warrant..." With that Wolf ripped out the knife that he had just impaled the 'perfect' S-900 on, causing it to drop Ryoko. S-900 stumbled back staring at its open wound on its stomach then it looked at Wolf.
The Teen Titans had finally finished off the last of the robots copies. Also during the explosion, half of the warehouse collapsed so they were cut off from Wolf and Ryoko. Now they were trying to find away around or through the rubble to their two friends. The one robot that outlasted its robotic brethren was Ravens copy and it was Beast Boy who was fighting it. No offence to Beast Boy but he only has close range attacks where as Ravens replica had all of Ravens powers so she could attack from long range. Raven saw how bummed Beast Boy was because 1. He had to fight a Raven copy and 2. He would have lost...not a big ego booster. Raven having an un-Raven like idea walked up to Beast Boy a little seductively swaying her hips slightly as she walked. Seeing this tactic wasn't working for some odd and unbeknownst reason, she decided to switch game plans.
She crouched behind Beast Boy and she, using her ever-present cloak encircled herself and Beast Boy with it. Suddenly a warm purple glow began to be transmitted from Ravens hands and onto Beast Boys body, healing any injuries he might have had. When she was finished, Raven hugged him from behind in the cape and nuzzled into the crook of his neck. "I think you could have won...eventually." Raven said trying to boost BBs' spirits. Beast Boy smiled at the un-Raven like attempt to cheer him up. He placed his hands over hers and said, "I know you're just trying to cheer me up...but thanks." He looked over his shoulder at Raven and she gave him a light kiss on the lips. "I love you, you know that right?" Beast Boy said out of nowhere. Raven gave a light smile and said, "Yeah, and I love you too." After a few moments silence Beast Boy said with a childish smile, "You know you're losing you dark girl routine fast." Raven instantly lost the loving attitude and she dumped Beast Boy unceremoniously out of her cloak. "Fine if you want dark girl." Raven said as she turned and left with crossed arms most likely to help the team get around the collapse. "Damn it. Me and my big mouth..." Beast Boy berated himself as he got up and chased after Raven.(Well Flaredancer what do yah think? Kinda impromptu but I hope it works...)
S-900 looked at Wolf and something happened that Kross hadn't expected or even thought possible...S-900 got mad. It growled and began to attack Wolf pure unmitigated rage coursing through its veins. However, fighting with wrath controlling your mind will get you nowhere as Wolf dodged the powerful yet reckless attacks easily. Wolf found after a few minutes of this game it was enough. He dodged one of S-900s' attacks and he then used his knife to stab several times at a super accelerated speed leaving his knife deep inside S-900 with the final stab. Using the same maneuver on his brother Wolf knew this wouldn't be enough so Wolf quickly brought his sword down upon S-900 separating its right arm and its body. S- 900 screamed in pain and it stumbled back, falling on one knee, and began to bleed on to the ground creating a pool of blood.
Wolf then sheathed his sword, walked up to the quote unquote perfection, and kicked it clear across the warehouse. However, Wolf forgot to remove his knife from S-900 but he judged it to not be a big loss. "Ok it's your turn Professor Kross." Wolf said as he helped Ryoko to her feet. Professor Kross looked at Wolf with stun evident on his face but it eventually faded to a dark smile. "What the hell are you smiling at Professor predestined?" Wolf asked as he began to walk over to Kross bearing his sword as he smiled slightly. Ryoko was walking along side and a little behind him. Ryoko seemed to gain at least a little control over her newly discovered power and she could create short jets of fire.
"Ah what I am laughing at is your ignorance. You think that that was the actual pinnacle of my genius? You think that useless drone was my absolute best? That was nothing compared to my irrevocable perfection." Kross said as he stood in front of Wolf actually dwarfing him in size. "And what is that Kross?" Wolf said holding his sword at the ready and being extremely alert. Ryoko had her fire charged as Professor Kross grinned and said, "Me..." With that, the Professor ripped open his lab coat and brought fourth a container filled with a strange sickly blue liquid and a syringe. He dumped the entire container with the syringe into his arm and he made a devilish grin. "You think that I wouldn't make a formula to aid in my own genetics? I have and you will be the first I test it on!"
After completing his thoughts, he fell to his knees breathing heavily. His body began to give off a strange energy and Krosses body turned to a amber like chrysalis before their eyes. After a few moments in this new form, the chrysalis began to shake and crack. It suddenly erupted and from it emerged Professor Kross however, he was completely transformed. From his stomach down it was a reptilian snake-like body leading from the chrysalis. His white lab coat remained on his body but it was close be being merely shreds. His left arm was a gigantic crustacean like claw and his right arm was a muscle bound, fur covered humanoid arm with gigantic animalistic claws on his fingers. On his back three spikes had sprouted from him and they had grown a thin membrane connecting them. His head remained the same except the glasses were gone but an ever present shadow hid his eyes. He grinned at the pair with wild and untamed fangs growing in his mouth. His mouth was composed of dozens of rows of razor sharp teeth. "Now you will die!" Kross said with a transformed gravelly voice. "Oh shit...MOVE!" Wolf yelled as Kross brought down his gigantic claw down aimed to kill. Wolf and Ryoko moved a split second before they were crushed beneath the humongous claw.
"Hey I think I found a way through!" Beast Boy shouted as he looked at a small hole in the wreckage. Suddenly a gigantic explosion sounded off and half of the collapse debris scattered leaving a monstrous hole in its wake. "Uh, never mind." He said a little timidly as he ran through the hole after his teammates all of them ready to fight.
"Jesus! This guys fast for being so damn big!" Wolf yelled as Ryoko and himself dodged yet another claw strike by Professor Kross. Ryoko nodded as they both dodged another lightning fast strike from Kross. Kross once again brought his claw down and it separated Wolf and Ryoko, 'this is my chance!' Kross thought as he brought the rest of his reptilian body out of the chrysalis and swung his new tail around slamming into Wolf with it. Wolf flew a good distance but the tail caught him and brought him back to lie in front of the 'good doctor'. Kross raised his clawed arm up above his head ready to strike. Ryoko shouted Wolfs name as she tried to get to him but a gargantuan reptile tail hit her away.
Kross brought his clawed arm down but before he could make contact, a bright blue beam hit him square in the chest. Making him let go of Wolf and turn to find the other Teen Titans were ready and rearing to go. "Whoa what happened to him?" Beast Boy asked. "What! I thought my robotic clones took care of you!" Kross yelled in his gravelly voice. "Well obviously they didn't" Wolf said as he stood grinning at Kross. Kross growled and tried to strike Wolf but a black and green beam nailed him sending him back. "Thanks guys!" Wolf yelled as he ran to Ryoko disappearing in the dust. "No problem!" Robin shouted as he threw a few explosion disks that hit their mark on Kross. Kross growled and threw both of his arms in the air. He brought them down hard onto the ground and this caused the ground itself to rise up and break into many rocket missiles. 'Time to end the experiments!' Kross thought to himself as he slithered in the direction Wolf went to find Ryoko.
"Ryoko! Ryoko!" Wolf shouted as he searched for Ryoko. He found her on the ground lying on her side. Wolf ran up to her and shook her lightly in an attempt to wake her up. Her eyes fluttered open and she looked at Wolf. "Are you ok?" she asked quietly. "Me? You are the one that got smacked with a giant tail!" Wolf practically yelled. "Well you did to..." Ryoko said sitting up by herself. "Can you stand?" Wolf asked. "Yeah I think so..." Ryoko said as she stood with Wolfs' help.
"Pretty soon neither of you will be able to stand!" and voice boomed behind them. They turned just in time to see a colossal claw smash in front of them. The claw missed the both of them but it hit with such a force that it actually separated the two once again. Wolf stood as fast as his legs could make him and he looked around through the dust and debris. He ran as fast as he could looking for Ryoko.
Meanwhile Ryoko was once again returning to her feet slowly and shakily. Suddenly out of nowhere a large muscular and fur covered arm grabbed her by the neck and threw her directly up in the air. As she came down another arm, this one armor plated and a claw adorning its base, grabbed her around her torso and it slowly began to crush her. "S-37...you know when the team sent to kill you and your family came back with the report that they had killed you I was elated that our project would continue with out a hitch. Then I heard that you survived and I had to inspect this problem myself." Kross said as he went face to face with Ryoko a deviant and fanged grin embellishing his face.
"I talked to the specific solider sent to kill our failed experiments...I remember her was a young man and he wielded a large rifle, specifically meant to kill you. I questioned him on his poor aim but he said he didn't miss his mark. I asked him what he meant he declared that he didn't desire to kill you or any of the other experiments I wished them to kill. He said it was wrong and that we had no right to do this. Of course, he had to die for his treachery...poor young lad. He had a bright future then he had to go and start thinking for himself." Kross finished with a grin on his face as he began to squeeze harder hearing the crunching of bone.
Suddenly a bright silver and gold flash streaked through Krosses arm. Kross quirked an eyebrow but it soon turned to a horrified and painful face as his left arm separated from his body in a nice clean cut. The claw hit the ground with a loud crash but within its giant pincers, there was nothing. Kross looked around searching for something. "S-82!!! SHOW YOURSELF!!!" Kross yelled spinning around several times looking for his prey. "I'm right here Kross..." a voice said behind the Professor. Kross spun swinging his tail with all his might but when he hit something, his tail stopped dead in its destructive path.
Wolf stood there with Ryoko on his back. Her arms around his neck and her left leg in his left hand. Wolfs one upraised hand had itself braced against Krosses colossal tail holding it just before impact. Wolfs hands and his right eye crackled with silver energy. However, something was different Wolfs' left eye was glowing gold behind the lid. Along the crease where his eye was shut, a golden light was shining and it was growing as his seemingly perpetually closed left eye began to open little by little. As the golden energy was being dispersed from his eye, it flowed down his face and around his body. It gathered in his left hand and it began to seep into his silver mane. When all was said and done both of Wolfs' eyes were opened, his left was a molten gold glow while the right a metallic silver shine. Wolfs left hand crackled with golden energy and his right with silver. In the front of his hair, a golden shock of hair stood out from the rest of his silver hair and along the back, the gold ran as if they were golden thunderbolts in a silver cloud.
"What the..." Kross said as he tried to back away. Wolf said nothing as he threw Krosses tail away from his body and disappeared in a flash of gold and silver. Kross growled and yelled "S-82 I will find you and I will kill you!" "Let me save you the trouble of finding me." A voice said as Kross turned around to see Wolf charging him with his sword drawn ready to strike. Wolf passed Kross at super human speed and he left a large gash in Kross. Kross screamed in pain and Wolf grinned at his theoretical near victory. Suddenly Krosses screams turned to hysterical laughter and Wolf said with a smug voice, "What are you laughing at...I must have missed something." Kross turned to reveal a large gash along his torso, but as quickly as it had been inflicted on him he healed himself. "Shit..." Wolf said, "Yes S-82 I can heal myself quite quickly...you will have to do better than that with you little toy." Kross taunted as he rushed Wolf. Wolf once again disappeared in a blaze of gold and silver.
"Guys I can't see through the dust can you?" Beast Boy yelled as the dust surrounded them. Abruptly a black aura surrounded the Teen Titans and they were brought up above the dust and over it to a clear side of the room. "So uh does anyone know where the bad dude went?" Beast Boy asked. "I do..." a voice outside the group said announcing their presence. Raven capture the person with her aura but it broke free quickly. "Listen this is no time to screw around!" the voice yelled once again and they recognized it as Wolf. "Well what do we have to...uh did you get a new look or something?" Robin asked forgetting the rest of his sentence. "This isn't the point...Listen Kross has the ability to heal himself exactly like Plasmas. So guess what we have to do." All the Titans looked at the transformed Wolf as he made this speech and they nodded at the end. Since Beast Boy has no projectiles he was put in charge of watching the unconscious Ryoko that at the moment was on Wolfs back.
Kross slithered into the dust-ridden part of the warehouse and using his tail in one giant sweep, he cleared the dust revealing nothing. "Where are they?" Kross said looking around aimlessly. In a flash, a bright blue beam struck him in the chest soon followed by a black and green beam in the exact same spot. Kross fell back but immediately got up and saw the entire Teen Titans standing there all aimed at him with their weapons and projectiles. The only one not aiming for an attack was Beast Boy who was standing in back with Ryoko leaning on him. "Kross you die here..." Wolf said as he disappeared in a silver and gold streak that lead directly at Kross. Wolf jumped and made two bright white flashes of light in the shape of an 'X' with his sword. The light made contact with Kross and a bloody red 'X' appeared on his chest. Kross screamed as he lashed out at Wolf with his claws but Wolf evaded his attacks.
Wolf jumped back to the rest of the group and said, "Now!" Just like before Cyborg, Starfire, and Raven shot their powers and weapons at Kross while Robin threw several his explosion disks. Wolf raised both his hands and from his right hand emerged the Combination spirit but from his left three golden vicious wolf spirits took flight ready to defeat Kross. The bright white beam flooded over Krosses body but Kross remained there only being slightly affected by the blast. "What the hell?" Wolf shouted as Kross began to slither through the gargantuan beam. 'We need more power!' Wolf shouted in his mind.
His prayers were answered when a bright red flame covered beam was emitted from the back of the group. He didn't have to turn to know who was doing this, 'Ryoko...' As the red beam joined the rest of the Titans power, the white beam grew two times larger and it was now tainted red. Kross began to struggle in the intense ray. "Kross I may not be the one to ultimately judge people...BUT WE'RE SENDING YOU TO SOMEONE WHO CAN!" Wolf yelled as he and the rest of the Titans gave double the effort that they had previously. Kross began to fly backward and he eventually vanished in the power with a blood-curdling scream that could be heard all the way in...Make it from Hell.
The red beam eventually dissipated and all that was left of Kross was a fang from his mouth and a few shreds of his lab coat. After the beam disappeared, every one began to celebrate. Robin and Starfire were kissing, as were Beast Boy and Raven. Cyborg was doing his usual victory dance coming to a James Brown ending. Wolf found Ryoko sitting on the ground a little...ok very tired after the ordeal that she and the other Titans had just gone through. Wolf picked her up bridal style and he began to swing her around laughing. They were both laughing their heads off and it began to slow down for them. Slowly their faces began to come together...
Suddenly a knife flew from the side of the room narrowly missing Wolf and Ryoko. They both ruined their heads to see S-900 standing up, of course sans arm, and it was growling at them. "You...You are cause. You die now!" S-900 said in broken speech. Wolf set Ryoko down gently on her own two feet. She could stand slightly, Wolf made sure, and he turned to S-900 saying, "Oh yeah bring it on!" "Yo you ain't fighting this thing alone." Cyborg said as he and the rest of the team prepped their weapons and powers. S-900 gave a sinister smirk and said, "No...Just me n him." S-900 then pushed a button in its hand as an explosion rocked the warehouse.
The straining of metal could be heard and a loud snap alerted everyone that the building was collapsing. "Crap...All of you get out of here!" Wolf shouted. "Dude all of us need to get out of here!" Beast Boy shouted as he grabbed Wolfs arm trying to get him to go. "Damn it I need to keep this thing occupied! LEAVE NOW I'LL CATH UP LATER!" Wolf shouted as the rest of the Titans finally took heed to his warning. Ryoko rushed up next to Wolf and said, "I'm not leaving you alone!" Wolf was about to yell but he stooped himself. He grabbed Ryokos hand and drew her to himself in a long and emotional hug. After a few blissful moments, "I'm sorry..." Wolf said as he took his left hand and struck the back of Ryokos' neck, successfully knocking her out. "Beast Boy! Get her out of here!" Wolf shouted as he held onto the unconscious Ryoko. Beast Boy ran up and took the form of a horse. Wolf placed Ryoko on Beast Boys back and Beast Boy took off for the exit. "So you want to fight huh? Well bring it on!" Wolf yelled as he charged S-900.
All the Titans made it out of the warehouse as it began to shake and quake with the signs of collapse. About a block or two away from the building al looked back waiting for Wolf to show. As the building began to creak and moan three times louder, they began to get worried. "I'm goin back!" Beast Boy shouted as he started to go back to the warehouse. However, it was too late. Suddenly a loud crack and moan and those were the final sounds the warehouse made before it collapsed. As it fell, a gigantic explosion rocked the area around the building. Obviously, some gas tanks were still there before the Titans left. It was over but one of the Titans was gone...
Well how was that? I'm sorry but the past two days were murder on myself. Longest two days of my life...Anyway I hope this extra long chapter makes up for my recent absence. About Wolf and his new transformed state, it was a split decision between either he grows silver wings (angel or some mythic bird would have been the creature) or his left eye opens and he becomes half-gold, half-silver (still don't know the creature). Which do you think I found more feasible. So what do you like about it what do you hate? Tell me and I will listen. Cyah!
