Chapter 8: Titans vs. Griknack
The Teen Titans kept staring at the Griknack with pure confusion and fear inside them. They didn't know how to react after seeing a creature made of rocks and stones towering over the team.
Raven: I'm going to take a wild guess and say, "That must be the Griknack."
Beast Boy: Yeah, good guess Rae.
The Griknack stood in front of the Titans ready to attack the team. Robin took out his Bo staff and positioned himself for battle.
Robin: Get ready team, this is going to be one hell of a battle.
The Titans did their own stances as the Griknack raised his stoned fists to pound the Titans.
Robin: Teen Titans, GO!
The team split up while at the same time, the rocky monster slammed his fists on the ground seconds after the Titans dodged it. Starfire lifted Robin up and she flew up to the Griknack's head. She let go of Robin as the fearless leader swung his staff at the stone monster's head. However, the impact didn't destroy its hard head. The Griknack made quick work of Robin by swinging its stiff arm at him. Robin flew off the monster and got hit on the dirt wall. Just then, a blue blast hit the Griknack's chest. It was Cyborg running on the tracks firing his Sonic Blaster Cannon on his arm. He made a couple of attempted shots, but his blaster didn't effect the Griknack at all. The Griknack slammed its fist on the ground behind Cyborg. Cyborg jumped out of harms way and landed flat on the ground, continuing to fire. Beast Boy ran from behind on of the Griknack's feet and morphed into a triceratops. He rammed his horn on the Griknack's foot but it didn't harm it. Beast Boy let go but his horns got ripped off from his head. Starfire launched multiple star bolts at the creature but it only got nothing but burned holes. The Griknack slammed its fist at Starfire. Starfire flew straight to another dirt wall and got knocked out for the moment. Raven levitated to Starfire to see if she's O.K., then looked at the Griknack with her eyes glowing white.
Raven: Azarath, Metrion, ZINTHOS!
A nearby crane was covered in a dark aurora and got detached from its post. Raven threw the crane at the Griknack and the crane got smashed to pieces. Though only a few scratches, the Griknack was still standing and pieces of the crane were around the floor. The creature was about to smash Raven until Robin came with his grappling hook in hand and rescued Raven from getting killed. He landed Raven on the ground then swung around again to attack the Griknack. He took out three exploding disks out of his utility belt and threw them at the monster. The disks made quite an explosion, that it made a big hole on the creature's chest. Robin thought that that would be the Griknack's downfall, but he was wrong. Three boulders flew up and connected to its chest, making the Griknack's chest whole again.
Robin: You got to be kidding me.
Robin swung to the wall, jumped off the wall, and went for the Griknack again. He took out another three exploding disks for a second try, but the stone monster just slammed Robin with its arm. Robin let go of his grappling hook and was falling to the ground. Lucky for him, Starfire caught him and landed him safely on the bottom floor of the mine. The Griknack was about to stomp them with its hard foot, until Beast Boy came in as a T-Rex and rammed the creature in the back. Beast Boy rammed it straight to the mining wall, trying to hold the monster down. The Griknack, however, used its strength to knock the shape shifter off his feet. Beast Boy then changed into a mouse and ran off, avoiding the hard stomps the Griknack was performing on the ground. Cyborg lifted up a piece of a huge twisted metal that lied with the rest of the scrap that was the crane Raven threw. He charged up to the Griknack and swung the steel girder at the creature's heel like a baseball bat. Unfortunately, the girder was bent after the hit and it didn't hurt the Griknack. The creature looked down at Cyborg and hit him with its stone hand, sending Cyborg flying and crashing to the wall. Starfire and Raven came up from behind and shot the Griknack with an arsenal of aurora blasts and star bolts. The creature swung its arms around to knock the girls out, but they dodged them and flew around the Griknack, shooting multiple shots in different directions. Robin came to Cyborg's aid and helped him up.
Robin: We hit it with everything we have and it still not enough. We need more. Cyborg, I think it's time we give it the Sonic Boom.
Cyborg activated his sonic cannon on his arm.
Cyborg: I thought you never said that.
Robin took out another exploding disk and both him and Cyborg jumped up to the highest point of the mine. Starfire and Raven continued to fight the Griknack and then flew out of the way. The Griknack didn't know what's going on until it heard a voice.
Cyborg: YO ROCK HEAD, EAT THIS!
Both Cyborg and Robin quickly fired their weaponries at the creature. Once the Sonic Blaster connected with Robin's disk, it exploded into a huge super nova explosion. Starfire and Raven lifted Robin and Cyborg away from the blast. Once the blast was cleared, there was nothing in the mine but a lot of rocks and boulders. The team then joined Beast Boy, who was in a turtle shell and morphed back, and were amazed with what they did.
Starfire: We did it! We're victorious!
Robin: Nice work team.
Beast Boy: You know, that was too easy.
Robin: That's true, but we sure gave the Griknack all we got. Now let's get out of here and get the acid for Terra.
When they were about to leave, they then saw a sphere shaped rock coming out of the rubble and was blinking bright red.
Robin: What the...
As the sphere rock started spinning, the boulders all over the mine started to lift of the ground and joined the sphere rock. Once all the rocks were joined together, they formed the Griknack once again. The whole team stood in shock of what they saw.
Robin: CRAP!
The Griknack suddenly started shooting rocks out of its own arms. The Titan immediately hid behind a wide mining cart that's strong enough to handle an avalanche. The Griknack ceased fire and all the rocks it threw went back to the creature's arms and waited for the team to come out. The Titans, especially Robin, was a little confused about what happened back there.
Cyborg: I don't get it. We gave the thing the Sonic Boom and he went together like a bunch of Legos. What is up with that?
Robin: Don't know Cy, but we know its weakness now.
Beast Boy: And what's its weakness anyways?
Raven: He's talking about the red sphere thing that was floating, Beast Boy.
Beast Boy: Oh, right.
Robin: If I'm right, that rocky sphere must be its heart. If we give it all the power we got, we'll get a chance destroying the heart. However, we need someone to get close enough to attack the heart.
Beast Boy: I'll go.
The team looked at Beast Boy and saw the determination in his eyes.
Robin: No, could be dangerous. It would be best if I go; I was the one who made Terra betray us in the first place. I should be the one to-
Beast Boy: No Robin. It's not your fault Terra left; it's my fault. My fault that she betrayed us, my fault she tried to destroy us, my fault she sacrificed herself. I made that mistake back then; I should be the one to fix it.
The team couldn't believe what Beast Boy said, except Raven who already knew about his secret. Robin understood what Beast Boy trying to say and gave him the order.
Robin: O.K. Beast Boy. When we destroy the Griknack, you'll take out the heart. All right team, let's go!
The Titans, except Beast Boy jumped out of the cart and attacked the Griknack. Robin threw multiple exploding disks and the monster putting holes in different places. Cyborg brought the power on his cannon high enough to destroy the Griknack and fired at the creature. Raven threw a number of oil barrels at the Griknack and Starfire used her eye beams at the barrels to make one hell of an explosion. They kept this up for a while until the only thing left was the glowing red heart.
Robin: Beast Boy, take it out!
Beast Boy looked at the sphere heart as all the boulders and stones started to float off the ground.
Beast Boy: This is for you Terra.
Beast Boy charged for the heart and morphed into a tiger. He immediately jumped up for the heart and slashed it seconds before the rocks joined the heart. Soon the heart exploded into red dust and all the boulders soon fell to the ground. Beast Boy morphed to his human form and joined the others.
Robin: It's over. Come on Titans; let's head back.
Outside the mine, the Bluamibals and the Elders were waiting for the Titans to come out.
Bluamibal 1: What's taking them so long?
Bluamibal 2: Maybe they didn't make it out alive.
Elder 1: Don't lose hope my people, I got a feeling that they succeeded on their mission.
Soon as the Elder said that, Robin slowly came out of the mine. Soon all the Titans got out of the cavern scratched and bruised, but victorious.
Robin: Bluamibals, you have nothing to fear anymore. The Griknack is destroyed!
After Robin said that, the Bluamibals cheered and applauded the team for their efforts. But above all else, the Bluamibals finally have a new home for their ever-growing race. An hour later, a few Bluamibals carried a metal keg of the Kipuzoth acid into the back of the T-Sub. Cyborg, Raven, and Beast Boy were in the sub making the final systems check while Robin and Starfire were with one of the Elders.
Elder 1: Thank you so much for defeating the Griknack for us. Now we have more room our ever-growing species.
Robin: It's nothing really. We faced tougher challenges on our planet.
Starfire: And thank you for giving us the Kipuzoth acid.
Elder 1: Don't thank us Tamaranean, it's what we do. I sure hope it's enough to bring your friend back.
Robin: I think this would be enough. We better get going before it's too late.
Elder 1: We'll see you soon friends.
Robin: Good bye for now.
Robin and Starfire headed back to the T-Sub and took their seats. The bubble windows started to close on the team as the sub's rockets started to ignite. The T-Sub lifted off the ground and the tank tires went inside the bottom of the sub. When the sub was in the air, the entire Bluamibal race started to wave good bye to the Titans. Beast Boy looked down at the Bluamibals.
Beast Boy: You know, those Bluamibals look pretty cute when they're not attacking. We should've kept one as a pet.
Raven: Don't even think about it.
Soon the T-Sub exited the atmosphere and left Pusionwatu.
Robin: O.K. Cyborg, activate the warp speed drive so we can go home.
Cyborg: Got it.
Cyborg activated the warp speed drive on the control council and the T-Sub went real fast leaving a trail of white light from behind.
