Disclaimer: do i really need to repeat that i don't own Teen Titans... but i do own my character (and i finally release his name).
Chapter 4: Guard Watch
The Teen Titan plus the knocked out young man were gathered in the main chamber of Titan's Tower. The windows were covered by the same metal that now covered the outside of the tower so there was no natural light. "So what do we do with 'sleeping beauty' here"? said Beast Boy as he was poking their "guest". "Beast Boy, come with me, I need you to help me check if the tower is fully secured and to gather supplies for us. Cyborg, get your arm cannon fixed as soon as possible, we'll probably need it if things go from bad to worse. Raven and Star will watch over our him until we get back." Robin said as he was walking to check out the tower. "But why us, Robin"? asked starfire. "You two are the only ones who can take him right now if he gets out of hand again." Robin explained. "Good lucky you two." said Cyborg as he headed towards his room to fix his damaged arm. "Yeah, I hope he doesn't go all psycho." added Beast Boy as he ran up to Robin. "Great..." sulked Raven as she showed her dislike for being a guard.
"Raven, Why do you think he attacked us"? asked Starfire in a childish voice. "I don't know, Star." replied Raven as she went in close for a better look at their 'prisoner'. She sensed a lack of emotions coming form him; it wasn't like raven's style of hiding and supressing emotions, but was like he didn't have them at all like a machine. "What are you doing, Friend Raven"? asked Starfire at the site of Raven getting near to the unconsious body. "I'm trying to sense any thoughts or emotions, but all i get is this empty feeling." Raven answered as starfire got up to get a close look as well. "He looks so sad." said starfire with a feeling of pity. "Don't forget, he did knock you hard into the ground." Raven told her in response to her remark. All of the sudden both of them heard a low growling noise. "Eeep!" both said as they leaped alittle. "What in blarkog is that"! asked the spooked Starfire. "I think that was his stomach growling." said Raven as she tried to gain her composure back. The stomach growled again but this time alittle louder. "Do you think he's hungry, Friend Raven"? asked Starfire. "Sounds like it." replied Raven dryly. "Then I will bring food." said Starfire happily as she flew out of the room and into the kitchen in a flash.
She opened the fridge and took out a small topperwear container and took it back to the room where Raven and owner of the growling stomach were. "what is that?" asked raven as she saw the container Starfire brought back with her. "This is my newest recepy, Clam, Garlic and avocado pudding with mustard." Starfire answered as Raven cringed. "now I pity him." Raven thought as Starfire smiled at the fact someone would try her cooking. Suddenly their captive started to come to. As soon as he saw the two young ladies he jumped up and got into his battle pose. He charged up his hands with energy and was getting ready to attack. Raven, out of instinct, used her powers and was about to throw a nearby chair. "Please stop, we mean you no harm" yelled starfire at the hostile-looking masked guy. With that said he stoped his attack and fell to one knee as a sign of exhaustion. Raven stopped her attack as well and Starfire slowly started to walk towards him. "Here, eat this, you must be famished." Starfire said as she handed him the container filled with "unique" dish. The masked guy took the container and opened it. He then with one hand removed the mask that covered his nose and mouth. "Thank you" he said in a low tone and then began to grab the pudding with his hand and stuff it into his mouth. Raven was slightly disgusted by the lack of table manners but since she's seen worse from Beast Boy, she let it pass. The pudding was gone in a matter of seconds. The young man put on his mask once again and stood up. "well, how was it?" Starfire asked with a giggle. "It was...tasty" he said as he handed the container over to Starfire. "So do you have a name or should we just call you 'hey you'"? asked raven in rude tone. "...Arcana...call me Arcana." he said in a indifferent manner. "Arcana, that's a wonderful name, where do you come from, friend Arcana"? "Friend?! no one has called me that before." Arcana murmured. "no surprise there, with the way you acted." said Raven refering to him challenging them to a fight. "Why did you challenge us anyways"? asked Raven. "Because seeking out strong opponents to fight is my only purpose" Arcana answered with his cold glaring eyes.
Beast Boy had managed to ditch Robin and get back early with a large bag of chips and a two-gallon bottle of soda. "well, these are all the supplies I need to survive for a..." said Beast Boy as he say their current prisoner in front of Starfire and Raven. "He must have overpowered them"! Beast Boy thought as he charged to the "rescue" of his friends. Out from behind Arcana appeared a giant green sloth and swatted him to the wall. "Beast boy, wait"! both Raven and Starfire yelled. Raven restrained Beast Boy before he could hit Arcana again. Beast Boy turned back into his human form and was a bit confused. "Huh, you mean he didn't overpower you"? "No, Beast Boy, we were trying to befriend Arcana." Starfire replied as she helped Arcana up. "Who or what is Arcana"? asked Beast Boy. "That would be him." said Raven as she pointed to the angry looking masked guy who he knocked into the wall. "Ohh, sorry about that, heh." said an embarrased Beast Boy. Suddenly Robin and Cyborg came in. "What's all the commotion about.." Cyborg said before he say the guy who busted his arm. Robin and Cyborg were just about to make the same move Beast Boy but they were stopped by the rest of the Titans. "No friends, wait"! yelled Starfire as she stepped in front of them. "we've made a truce." Raven added.
Meanwhile, outside of the tower, The three Hive members: Mammoth, Gizmo, & Jinx tried to figure out a way to break into Titan's Tower. "How come I have to do this"? complained Mammoth from inside a metallic suit. "Because I wouldn't be caught dead in that thing." answered Jinx indignantly. "And I don't fit inside and besides you're the strongest one here, so quit your whining and do it." yelled Gizmo. Mammoth made some grumbling and ran full steam into the wall of Titan's tower with the metallic suit. Mammoth was flung sky-high with as much force as he used to run into the wall. "Oh Crud" yelled Gizmo as Mammoth came crashing down towards them. Mammoth landed on top of Jinx & Gizmo. "Ow"! said all three as Slade watched from afar. "Incompetent fools. I guess I'll have to use my little pet once more." said slade as he pressed the button on a trigger he had in his hand.
Suddenly the remains of the broken and defeated Anemone-bot started to react. The large robot detached the destroyed control that acted as the robot's brain and the stumps of the legs that once supported it. Now all that was left was a giant wheel with another disk behind it where the remaining tentacles are. The large metal object started levitating of the ground and started to spin which generated large amounts of energy. This giant spinning disk flew toward where slade was. "Robin, didn't you think I had a back-up plan." Slade thought to himself as he saw the flying disk coming towards him. As Gizmo, Mammoth and Jinx were arguing about who was at fault in their failed attempt at getting into the tower, they saw the disk land just a few yards from them. "Change of plans, we'll now destroy the tower instead." said Slade. "What...but how"? asked a confused Gizmo. "integrate that Proton Cannon of yours into that." ordered Slade. "But we were just about to break into..." said Gizmo before he was stopped by Slade. "I said to put that Cannon of yours into my machine, now don't question me again"! said Slade angrily. "Yes Slade...right away" answered the frightened Gizmo.
