The Titans entered the rebels HQ and met up with LM. But now they have to wear new clothes and start a new type of training.

Eleventh Chapter Notes

The building the Titans are entering is just like the abandon building from the original Matrix with a mansion like style from the movie Underworld. More spoilers from season 2 of the Teen Titan series. The clothes that the Titans will be wearing would be the clothes I saw on Reloaded. I'll discuss this later on the chapter. Starfire's clothes would be the exact clothes she wore on the fan-fic story, "Starfire's Turn".

Disclaimer: Still don't own them, nothing at all.

Chapter 11: Suit Up.

It was lunchtime at Titans Tower as the Teen Titans gathered around the living room table eating pizza. Robin was fortunate enough to find a Pizza Hut and ordered the 4forALL Pizza so that way the team won't argue which toppings they want on their pizza. Cyborg had the pepperoni side, Beast Boy and Terra ate the vegetarian and soy cheese side, Robin was eating the supreme side, Starfire had the original with ice cream and mustard topped on it (don't ask), and Raven was just drinking her herbal tea. Anyways, Robin discussed the information to his team while they were eating.

Cyborg: So let me get this straight. Slade is still alive and formed a partnership with some French guy named Merovingian. They are creating a device that can change our city and us as well. Right?

Robin nodded.

Cyborg: And we have to stop them. However, we're getting help from the same guy that beat us. This Luis or LM or whatever the hell his name is.

Robin gave another nod.

Cyborg: Robin, as a good friend and teammate, I would like to ask you one thing. (exploded) ARE YOU NUTS???

Robin: Cyborg, I don't want to argue about this. Besides I consider stopping Slade then dealing with LM.

Starfire: I do not understand how could Slade be alive when we saw him burned in the ocean of lava?

Robin: Maybe that was his robotic double. I mean I fought with one on the rooftops not long ago, and it had the same abilities and likeness of him.

When heard that, her eyes showed both anger and guilt.

Terra: You mean to tell me that I sacrificed my body for nothing?

Beast Boy: Terra relax, it's not your fault, we didn't know this was going to happen.

Robin: Beast Boy's right Terra, you don't need to feel guilty about what happened. Slade is a tricky villain and he always one step ahead of us.

Beast Boy: Yeah, Slade almost destroyed us before we met you, and we know how he thinks. Just put behind you.

Terra: All right BB. But what about LM, do we even trust him? He defeated us at the station, there's no way-

Raven: Terra, we have no other choice. I remember reading an old saying from a book that goes, "Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer."

Cyborg: You mean we have to trust this guy?

Robin: Raven has a point. Slade's working with an enemy we don't know. The only way to stop Slade is to join with LM and stop this new threat.

Starfire: Robin, did this LM said anything about why he saved you?

Robin: He said that I'm not ready for the truth.

Beast Boy: Kay, that didn't answer the question.

After lunch, the Titans got themselves ready before one. When the clock reached one the team followed Robin to a door that reads STORAGE.

Beast Boy: Uh, why are we here.

Robin took out the key the Oracle gave him out of his utility belt.

Robin: Oracle said that I must use this key to gain access to their headquarters.

Starfire: Why through the room of storage?

Robin: I don't know.

Robin inserted the key into the hole and slowly opened the door. The Titans went through the door but they didn't see a room filled with food, light bulbs, and equipment. Instead, they went into a grand hallway of an abandon mansion. It has a circular staircase that leads to the second floor, a caged area where two men were watching multiple security monitors, and two sticks with big lights on top of it. The condition of the mansion was ugly as the wallpaper was peeling, the paint was faded, and there was dust and cobwebs all over the place. The Titans continued walking down the hallway, wondering how they got there when Morpheus, Niobe, and Ghost appeared in front of them.

Morpheus: Robin, so glad you come. And you must be the Teen Titans, Cyborg, Raven, Starfire, Beast Boy, and Terra. Allow me to introduce myself, I am Morpheus of the Neuchadnezzar, this is captain Niobe and her partner Ghost from the Logos.

Starfire: Nice to meet you strange people. Can I ask you a question? What is this dark, dreary, horrible place?

Morpheus: You're in our base of operation. Here we train, work, and plan out our missions.

Cyborg: Uh... I don't want to be rude Morpheus, but this place looks more like a dump then a base.

Morpheus: We have to find a place desolate enough so that no one won't find us.

Robin: So, where's LM?

Niobe: He must be in the armory room with his teammate. Ghost; take the Titans to the room.

Ghost: My pleasure. Follow me please.

Ghost and the Titans took the stairs up to the second floor and walked down a narrow hallway filled with crates and mine lights.

Robin: You know Ghost, Niobe told me that LM was trained by a savior. Who's the savior anyways?

Ghost: The savior's name was Neo. He was chosen to fulfill a prophecy and ended a war in Zion that lasted over a century.

Raven: I read a book that said Zion is a sacred place, but no one ever found it.

Terra: Wait a minute, I've never heard of a century war in the news. Or one that took place in Zion.

Ghost: That's because that it's in our world. But we signed a peace treaty with the machines and ended the war. We've been in peace for a year now.

Strafire: Oh glorious. Perhaps we could talk to this savior. Where is he?

Ghost: He sacrificed himself to end the war.

Robin: We're sorry; we didn't know he's gone. How did he die?

Ghost: No one knows how he died. The only person who knows is LM.

Robin: How does he know?

Ghost: He went into the Matrix and saw Neo for the last time. He won't tell us because it's his own secret.

They all approached a metallic door as Ghost opened it. The team walked right in and saw the inside of the armory room. On one side of the wall, there were a number of pistols, machine guns, shotguns, and rocket launchers, all aligned in order like in a museum. The other side showed a police style shooting range with manikins dressed as agents. The Titans walked up to the two people at the other end of the range. They saw LM using a modified .380 pistol and Connecter using a G36 rifle. The Titans approached the two as LM and Connecter put the guns down and looked at them. The Titans looked at LM in a mean kind of way.

LM: Well, I could tell you guys missed me so much.

Terra: How could we after the beat down you gave us. Still feeling the effects on the last impact you gave me.

LM: Just be glad I didn't kill you.

Terra: (anime vain popping) Why you. I going to-

Robin: Terra. Sorry about that, she's not herself lately.

LM: I could tell. Anyways, you guys are here so let's get started. Can I see your communicators for a sec?

The team took out their communicators out of their pockets and belts, except Cyborg, and placed it on a nearby table. LM looked at them then gave them to Connecter.

LM: Connector, take these communicators to the tech. room for a few check ups and modifications.

Connecter: Yes sir.

Connecter walked off with the communicators all over his arms.

Cyborg: Yo, what is he doing with our stuff?

LM: Some agents tap into different frequencies in many types of phones, even your communicators. We need to make sure that no one finds us or our headquarters. Now if you mind, we're waiting time, so let's go.

LM and the Titans walked out of the armory and continued walking down the hallway.

LM: My apology about what happened back at the station, but I don't want you guys seeing what I was doing.

Robin: No problem LM. Why don't you tell us about Merovingian?

LM: Well, since you're here I guess I should start. Merovingian is one of the fiercest programs any team has ever faced. He came from the older version of the Matrix and survived through his own archenemies over the years. He has a chateau in the mountains witch is also a base for his undead army, vampires. They are like the ones in the horror movies, except they carry advance weaponry. Merovingian dreams of having everything in the Matrix and tried a few plans to take over. My team stopped him 3 times and somehow he hates my guts. But with the Alterer in his control, his dreams will come true. Now that I gave you the info on Merovingian, perhaps you can talk to me about Slade.

Robin: Well for what we know so far, Slade has a grudge against us for sometime. We don't have any history about Slade. What we know so far is that he wants to control both the city and us.

LM: Really? Well what did he do?

Robin: Well Slade tried to make me into his apprentice. If I didn't follow his orders, then he would've destroyed the Titans from the inside out with namoscopic probes. We did stop him and remove the probes out of our bodies.

LM: Oh, impressive. Anything else?

Robin: Slade turned Terra against us and she'd tried to kill us. He wanted to use Terra to activate a volcano to bury the city with lava but she double crossed Slade and threw him into the pit. She even sacrificed herself to control the lava and saved the city.

LM: Wait a minute, Terra sacrificed herself to save a city, yet she still alive and here?

Beast Boy: Yeah well, Starfire knew a certain acid that can dissolve molten rock and not harming what's on the inside. We traveled through the galaxy to find it and head back to dissolve her stone state. It wasn't easy but we got her back on the team.

Cyborg: Yeah, she's still trying to get over the fact that it was her fault she betrayed the team, but she's slowly getting use to it.

LM: Thank you for the story guys. Now that we got that out of the way, you said that Slade is dangerous right?

Robin: That's right, in fact he's public enemy number one on our list.

LM: Sound like a good challenge for me.

Robin: What do you mean?

LM: I like to take on any challenge the Matrix would give to me. It doesn't matter if it's a long police chase or an army of agent in a warehouse, either way I'm into it.

Beast Boy: Great just what we need, an extremist.

LM suddenly stopped in front of another metallic door and open it. They all went through the door but the room was so dark.

LM: All right team, suit up.

LM flicked the lights on and the team saw 6 built dressing rooms. In front of them was a table with six different sets of clothes. Three for the boys and three for the girls.

Starfire: What are we doing here and what are these strange displays of fabric.

LM: Those strange displays of fabric are your new uniforms. The dressing rooms are right in front of you and-

Robin: Hang on, you expect us to wear these suits and jackets.

Raven: No way. I'm better off with my cloak.

LM: Guess what Raven, you're in a different city now and if anyone sees you wearing the clothes you have now you'll get killed. Besides the uniforms we got for you are bullet proof, and battle ready. Either that or let the Matrix be change forever, your choice.

The Titans looked at Robin and waited for the answer.

Robin: You heard him Titans, get dressed.

LM took a seat at a nearby chair.

LM: You got five minutes.

Five minutes have passed and the team was in the dressing room putting on their clothes.

LM: Five minutes have passed kids, come out.

Robin was the first out. He was wearing a black-buttoned shirt brown pants, brown suit, brown tie, and brown shoes. He kept the mask on his face to hide his secret identity. Starfire came out after Robin. She wore a black shirt, a dark brown padded vest, black pants with flares at the end, black tall zipped boots, and black gloves. Cyborg was the next one out. Even though he's half robot, he wore only a long sleeved red jacket that reached down to his ankles. Raven came out looking humiliated. She wore a purple cut tank top, purple silk pants, a black long sleeve short jacket, black long boots, and black motorcycle style gloves. The next one out was Beast Boy. What he wore was a black-buttoned shirt, white suit, white pants, a white tie, and white leather shoes. The last one out was Terra. She was wearing a silver silk blouse, a black jacket, black pants, black gloves with holes for the fingers, and black long tied up boots. All of them were wearing different types of sunglasses, except Robin, and looked like they're ready for battle.

Terra: Man, I look like someone out from the streets.

Raven: You think you don't like it. I consider wearing a hood over my face, not glasses over my eyes.

Starfire: Do these people always like to wear black?

LM: You guys look great. Don't worry about the way you look, you'll get use to it.

LM looked at Robin holding his cape in his hand.

LM: Why are you holding that?

Robin: This cape is made out of titanium, ten times stronger then steel. It could come in handy.

Robin puts his cape inside his suit.

LM: Now if you guys are ready, we'll begin training.

All: Training???

LM: Robin, you told me that the Teen Titans don't kill.

Robin: Yeah, so...

LM: So it's time to take it to a whole new level.

That's the end of this chapter. Sorry about cutting in short but I have to go on a trip this week. So I won't be updating this story for a week. Please review this chapter while I'm gone. See ya.
