Chapter 8: Surprise Ambush
Captain Black, the Titans, Jackie Chan and a few Section 13 agents were just about to head toward the sub Captain Black has prepared.
"So Robin, when is Aquaman going to lead us to Atlantis?" asked Captain Black to Robin as they were walking toward the submarine.
"He should be coming here any minute now" replied Robin.
Then after Robin just said that last statement, Captain Black could see some bubbles coming from the water where the submarine was. Then somebody leaped out of the water. No doubt about it, it was Aquaman, ready to guide them to Atlantis.
"So is everybody here?" asked Aquaman.
"Just about everybody" replied Robin, "this is Captain Black."
"Please to meet you" smiled Captain Black as he shook Aquaman's hand, "we're still waiting for one more. It's strange that Bruno hasn't reported in for the week. Maybe he's getting a bit rusty with the new rank which I promoted him to."
Captain Black could also see that Bruno was coming down toward the harbor. He could tell that Bruno wasn't looking to good.
"Anything wrong?" asked Captain Black.
"No" replied Bruno.
"I want you to do one more thing" said Captain Black.
"Yes?" asked Bruno.
"I would like you to order my men to load some cargo onto this submarine" ordered Captain Black.
"Is there anything else you want me to do?" asked Bruno.
"No, that's it for now" replied Captain Black, "when you're finished, come into the submarine with us."
The submarine left for the deep sea. Captain Black and the rest of the crew were amazed to see numerous life forms under the sea.
"So, how far are we?" asked Captain Black in the intercom to Aquaman.
"Just a little further" replied Aquaman, "we're not far from Atlantis."
"Perfect" replied Captain Black, "tell us when we have reached there."
The submarine was moving smoothly through the currents of the ocean, unaware there was something watching them.
"So, is that the new submarine Bruno was talking about?" said Valmont as he sat in his chair looking through the scope.
"What are your orders Big V?" asked Finn.
"Tell Mammoth and Hak Foo it's time to load the torpedos" smiled Valmont, "and this time we're hunting Chan."
Both Hak Foo and Mammoth carefully loaded the torpedo into its slot. Then Mammoth closed the hatch.
"It's ready!" shouted Gizmo.
"Excellent" replied Valmont, "Chow, Ratso, do you have their submarine in range?"
"Almost boss" replied Ratso as he was preparing to target the submarine.
"On my count" ordered Valmont, "fire!"
Chow pushed the button next to his right hand and fired the torpedo right toward the submarine carrying Captain Black, Jackie Chan and the Teen Titans. The torpedo made a direct hit. Both the Hive and the Dark Hand cheered evily as the submarine they hit continued to take damage.
"What just happen?!" cried Jackie.
"We've been hit!" shouted Captain Black, "Jackie, I need you and a Titan to go to the back of the submarine to make sure the cargo is safe."
"You come with me" said Jackie as he took Beast Boy to the back of the submarine.
"Hey dude!" cried Beast Boy as he tried to free himself from Jackie's grip, "I'm not going back there!"
"But there must be something we can do" cried Jackie.
Then Jackie notice the door to the cargo room open. This was suspicious to Jackie, because before the submarine left, this door was closed. He could see that somebody was in the cargo room, but could not find out where.
"Beast Boy" ordered Jackie, "I need you to turn into an animal that can find an intruder."
"No problem" replied Beast Boy as he turned himself into a rat.
Beast Boy crawled through the boxs of cargo that was just laying down. Then he also found the leak of where the torpedo had hit the submarine. But Beast Boy also notice that somebody was also in a crate nearby, because he could smell the intruder. He then managed to find a Tailsman of some sort. He didn't know what type of power it was. Then he heard a voice behind him.
"Ah!" cried Jade, "A rat get away from me!"
Jackie quickly pushed away the boxs to find Jade with her bag of Tailsmans with her.
"What are you doing here?!" cried Jackie, Oh nevermind! Give me the Healing Tailsman, I think we can fix the submarine!"
Jade gave Jackie the Healing Tailsman. As Jackie expected, the Tailsman healed the submarine's hull back to it's original self. Meanwhile, back on Valmont's submarine, the Dark Hand and the Hive were laughing together about their recent success.
"Hey Mammoth" laughed Chow as he slapped his hand on Mammoth's back, "you're not so bad after all."
"Thanks" smiled Mammoth.
"Excuse me" said Valmont, "but I hate to break up our little victory party, the submarine we just hit has somehow fixed its hull."
"What?!" cried Gizmo, "That's impossible! We made a direct hit!"
"No" said Valmont as he sat back in his chair, "the only way for them to survive a hit like that was that Chan must have brought the Tailsmans onboard."
"So what now Big V?" asked Finn.
"We follow them in stealth mood" replied Valmont, "and when we finally reach Atlantis we will steal both the Water Amulet and Shendu's Tailsmans."
Meanwhile, back on Captain Black's submarine.
"I didn't know the Healing Tailsman could do something like that?" said Captain Black as he was looking at it in his hand.
"Yeah" said Cyborg, "we've could of used that with our last adventure with Aquaman."
"Hey guys!" shouted Robin, "I think we're approaching Atlantis."
The city of Atlantis was covered under a large dome. Aquaman had led them straight to the city as Captain Black would have hoped. The submarine carrfully docked in the local harbor of Atlantis. As Captain Black and everybody else were getting off, they were greeted by Aquaman and several Atlantian guards.
"Welcome to Atlantis Captain Black" smiled Aquaman as he shook Captain Black's hand.
"The pleasure's all mine" replied Captain Black.
Captain Black, the Titans, Jackie Chan and a few Section 13 agents were just about to head toward the sub Captain Black has prepared.
