I'm back from Paris and I'm ready to continue this story. In this chapter, The Titans begin training Matrix style. But will they pass the test without getting hurt.

Twelfth Chapter Notes

I got one of these ideas from the part I saw in the making of the Animatrix, "The Final Flight of the Osiris." Others were fight scenes I got from the Teen Titan episodes.

Disclaimer: I never owe anything period.

Chapter 12: Training

The Teen Titans entered a big dome shaped room that was made out of stone and steel. They walked to the center of the dome wondering what surprises LM's going to give them. LM, on the other hand, was in the control room with Night Owl looking through a see through window. LM grabbed a microphone from the control council.

LM: (on the speakers) Testing, testing. 1 2 3. Is this thing on? All right Titans, you're inside one of our training simulators. This is where all Zion teams train to gain their speed, build physical strength, and drive their focusing abilities to the limit. This isn't going to be the exact type of training you guys do at the Tower, but it will help you survive the wrath of Merovingian. Any questions before we start?

Robin: Yeah about the training, how tough are they?

LM: (on the speakers) Well we'll start off easy for you, then we'll take you to two more challenges. It's just the basic lessons for beginners. Shall we get started?

All the Titans nodded as LM turned to Night Owl who was sitting at the control council.

LM: Night Owl, begin training program number 24XCO3, Sentinel Attack.

Night Owl started the training as LM turned to the Titans and talk trough the speaker.

LM: (on the speaker) Good luck team.

Robin: Wait a minute, which program is this.

Just then a loud thump was heard from behind the team. The Titans turned around and saw a huge octopus like machine with thirteen red eyes and ten tentacle like robotic arms.

Beast Boy: This is easy?

Robin: Looks easy in their books. If they want us to play by their rules, we'll play.

The sentinel went to combat mode and positioned its tentacles to attack. The Titans got themselves ready for battle as they stare at the sentinel. The sentinel suddenly launched four of its tentacles at them.

Robin: Titans, go!

All the Titans ducked out of the way as the sentinel launched itself up in the air and struck down by extending its arms to grab hold of the ground. Robin and Terra got out of the way before the sentinel made contact. Robin took out three birdarangs out of his utility belt (which is underneath his suit) and threw it at the sentinel, taking out three of its eyes. The sentinel looked at Robin and was about to attack. But Terra, with her eyes glowing yellow underneath her sunglasses, raise the stone ground from underneath the sentinel. It then launched up and flew after Starfire. The sentinel quickly fired a red laser out of its mouth but Starfire flew sharply, avoiding the laser. The sentinel then used one of its tentacles to grab Starfire. However, Starfire turned around, took off her glasses, and used her eye beams to destroy the tentacle like arm. The sentinel was about to use its laser again but something was pulling it away from Starfire. It was Beast Boy in his pterodactyl form pulling the sentinel's tentacles with his talons. Beast Boy then threw the sentinel to the steel wall but it landed on the wall. Just then, Raven levitated in front of the sentinel with her eyes glowing white underneath her sunglasses. The sentinel used its tentacles to attack her but Raven formed a black bubble around her so that the sentinel won't penetrate through it. With the sentinel busy with Raven, Beast Boy had the opening he needs. He flew up high, morphed into a kangaroo, and used his big feet to slam the sentinel down to the concrete floor. The sentinel was able to get up but Cyborg grabbed its tentacles before it had a chance. Cyborg used his strength and spins the sentinel around until he let it go. The sentinel got smashed straight to the stone wall and got short-circuited after the collision. Robin, Starfire, and Cyborg threw exploding disks, star bolts, and sonic blasters to disable the sentinel. Terra finished the job by dropping a big stone from the ceiling to crush the sentinel into a flat pancake. LM observed them from the look through window and was very impressed about the Titans status.

LM: Not bad, for teenage super heroes. Let's see if they can handle the next one. Night Owl, training program number 40G2BE, Bullet Takedown.

Back in the training dome, the Titans were celebrating in their first lesson, but then they heard gears moving around them. They turned and saw twelve sentry guns pointing at them.

Terra: I guess this means we don't have time for a bathroom break huh.

All the guns started to fire on the Titans, but Raven created a black dome around the team. Smoke started to form around the training dome as the guns continued firing. When the sentry guns stopped and the smoke cleared, the Titans were no where to be found. Even LM was shocked and confused about it.

LM: Where'd they go?

The sentry guns began searching for the Titans until two guns turned dark black and then exploded. The rest of the sentry guns looked up and saw the Titans coming down towards them. The rest of the guns started firing again while the Titans began splitting up. Robin took out three freeze disks and threw it at the first three sentry guns. All three of the guns were completely frozen and were unable to move. Starfire flew all over the dome avoiding the remaining sentry guns. She then charged up her star bolts and fired multiple shoots at one of the guns, destroying it completely. Two more sentry guns pointed at Starfire and opened fire at her. Starfire dodged out of the way while Cyborg came in and took out the guns. He used his strength to move one of the guns to target the other. Once the first one was destroyed, Cyborg used his sonic cannon to destroy the other one. Terra was a little busy with the next two guns when she formed a rocky barrier for her protection. She then used her powers to bring down two stone slabs behind the guns and crushed them down like the sentinel. Beast Boy, in his cheetah mode, ran fast to get to the last two guns but it was hard for him to get close to them. Starfire saw Beast Boy in trouble so she came in and shot more star bolts at the sentry guns. The guns shoot at Starfire as she zipped her way out of harm. With the guns distracted, Beast Boy quickly morphed into a mouse and slipped into a hole of one of the sentry guns. Once inside, he starts chewing on the wires that operates the guns. Soon the sentry gun went haywire, destroyed the sentry gun next to it, and blew itself up. Beast Boy got out of the explosion as a turtle in a shell then morphed back to his human self and landed on the floor. The Titans once again celebrated while LM looked on.

LM: Bulletproof or not, their skills are quiet impressive. I wonder... Night Owl, insert training program number 8XO1ZM.

Night Owl: Sir, that program's for experts only.

LM: Shut up and start the program.

In the training dome, the Titans were waiting for their final challenge. Just then, something came out from the center of the dome. What it was is an android dressed as an agent.

Cyborg: This is our final task? Fighting some guy in a suit?

Starfire: He looks harmless.

Robin: Looks can be deceiving Star, don't let your guard down.

Beast Boy walked up to the agent, not knowing what will happen.

Beast Boy: Oh c'mon Robin, he isn't doing any-

Before Beast Boy could finish his sentence, the agent grabbed his wrist tightly and tossed him towards the dome wall.

Robin: See what I mean. Titans, take him out!

The rest of the team fired and threw everything they got. But like the real agents, the android agent dodged every shot while standing.

Cyborg: So much for that idea. Robin, do we have a plan B?

Robin: We fight.

Robin charged right in, took out his staff, and attacked the agent. Any type of physical attack Robin used, the agent either dodged them or blocked them. The agent then did a cobra strike on Robin's face, sending him flying to the stone ground. Starfire was flying to the agent's back while Cyborg charged in the front. The agent somersaulted backwards over Starfire and both Starfire and Cyborg collided with each other. Terra used her earth abilities to lift big stone balls and threw them. The agent quickly jumped, ducked, and punched its way through them until it reached to Terra and gave her a stiff punch to the chest.

Raven: Azarath, Metrion, ZINTHOS!

Raven enclosed the agent with her dark magic. The agent quickly slipped away from her grasp and grabbed Raven by the neck, choking the life out of her. Beast Boy showed up out of nowhere in his goat form and rammed the agent to the side, letting go of Raven. The agent jumped up from its feet while Beast Boy morphed into a bear. He made a few slashes but the agent was too fast for him. Then the agent made quick work with Beast Boy by lifting him up and tossed him to Robin, who was running back for round two. The two Titans collided with each other and landed on the ground.

Beast Boy: O.K. That was totally uncalled for.

The rest of the team gathers with Robin and Beast Boy. The android agent stared at the Titans and slowly walked towards them. At the control room, LM watched over the look through glass to see any progress.

Night Owl: Ah shit, they're not going to make it. I'm aborting the program.

LM: No, keep it on! They must pass it.

Back at the dome, the Titans are between an agent and a hard place.

Starfire: He's too strong and too fast. What do we do?

Robin: Only one thing left to do. Terra...

Terra nodded and lifted one of her hands as it glowed yellow. The ground shook around the agent's feet as the stone floor raised up. The agent jumped up but a stone wall went full force and smashed the agent's face, showing the robotic face from the inside.

Robin: Teen Titans, Go!

All the Titans charged for victory in defeating the agent. Beast Boy turned into a tiger and used his claws to slash the agent's chest. Starfire and Cyborg teamed up and used star bolts and a sonic blaster to rip a hole through the agent's torso. With the agent disabled, Raven used her powers to enclose it again. And Robin finished it with a stiff upper cut to the chin and rips the agent's head off its body. The lifeless body was flying towards the look through window of the control room. LM and Night Owl ducked out of the way while at the same time; the destroyed body smashed through the window and hit a computer modem. LM stood up and looked down at the android. What he saw was a damaged body with sparks flying, oil gushing, and no head. He turned back to the now destroyed window and saw the Titans; all of them tired and filled with sweat, but valiant in the end. Still amazed, he slowly grabbed the microphone and started to say something.

LM: (on the speakers) Congratulation Titans! You all passed.

Robin: (tired) You said take it to the next level, and we did. Now are we done here, or you have more surprises for us?

LM: (on the speakers) No, no. That's all for today.

A door opened in the control room and a freedom fighting soldier appeared from the door. He looked down and saw the agent in major damage. He looked up at LM for an explanation. LM quickly joked about it.

LM: Spring cleaning. What do you want?

Freedom Fighter: You and the Titans are needed at the briefing room right away.

LM: Very well. (turn to his microphone) All right Titans, go get something to drink and head to the briefing room. Night Owl will assist you.

Robin: (tired) What is it this time?

LM: (on the speakers) Hopefully good news.

LM turned off his mic and followed the freedom fighter to the briefing room.

So far so good. If it's a little confusing, give me a review.
