Chapter six: Initiation II

9:55 A.M. Downtown Jump City.

Robin was tired. His exhausted body barely able to hold him up to face his ultimate foe. It had all started out so innocently, when the titans responded to a bank robbery in Jump City. When they arrived, it was just the hive there, but they were quickly joined by Slade and Blackfire. ' A trap…how could I fall for such an obvious trap!?' Robin's mind screamed. ' I knew it'd been too quiet lately, I should've been ready!' His thoughts quickly snapped back to the present as Slade charged in again with another barrage of kicks and punches. Robin shifted to the defensive to meet the blows, and then responded in kind, catching Slade in the head with a high jump kick, staggering the dread villain. Robin took advantage of this and moved in to connect with a series of punches to the face and stomach. Robin then went for a spinning heel kick, but Slade recovered, and countered with one of his own, sending the boy wonder flying back yet again.

" Rrrrrrrrr, Damn!" Robin growled, as he quickly recovers to face off with Slade again.

" Now Robin, that's not the way a young man, like yourself, should speak." Slade taunted the boy wonder.

" Shut up." Robin grated between clenched teeth. ' Why won't he make a move? What's he waiting for?' Robin thought, and then unconsciously looks around carefully at the others. Things weren't going well. He could tell that they all were getting too tired to continue. ' I've got to wrap this up, so I can help them! I've I could just defeat Slade, I could take some pressure off the others!' At that, Robin charged in on Slade, hell-bent on taking the dread ruler of Jump cities underground down. Robin dove at slade, tossing some flash bombs at him, then delivering kick after kick to Slade's ribs.

" I'll make you regret that Robin!" Slade roared.

" We'll see Slade…," Robin said, giving him an evil glare that spoke doom.

Things weren't going well for the team all around, Cyborg could easily see that right away. Raven, in particular looked like she was ready to collapse. The battle had been hard. ' He was ready for me this time… That pint-sized freak was ready this time to face me.'

" Hey barf brain, better pay attention!" Gizmo yelled tauntingly, as the tech-wizard lashed out with his extra strength bionic spider legs. Cyborg caught the blow, but couldn't do anything with it. " HAHAHAHAHAHAH! That's not gonna work this time ya toe-jam scrapin' gunk eater!" A medium sized cannon appeared at the tip of the opposite tentacle, and blasted Cyborg, sending him sliding back. Again, the nasty brainchild let loose his cackle, as he lifted both front legs up. Both of them now equipped with a laser cannon. Then he opened fire at an insane rate of speed.

" WOAH!!! YA!!" Cyborg quickly takes cover on the other side of a building. He then draws his sonic cannon, and takes a reading. " Great, the system's starting to overheat. Can't keep this up much longer…"

" Are you gonna hide all day, or do I have to come in there after you!?" Gizmo called to Cyborg, as he continued his assault.

' I gotta stop this bite-sized poindexter…' He thought. " I'll just have to risk it…" His face set in a look of pure determination, he then returns power to his cannon, leaps out of the alley, takes aim, and fires.

Starfire was torn. She loved her sister very much, but she had no way of convincing Blackfire that it was her own fault for being imprisoned. She had no wish whatsoever to fight her elder sibling, but she was being left with no other choice.

" What's the matter baby sister!? Afraid to fight back!?" Blackfire goaded to her sister, as she continued to launch a dizzying amount of starbolts and eyebeams at her sister.

Starfire masterfully defended herself against the bolts as best she could, but her sister's aim was impeccable, and not a few ended up hitting Star. " Please sister, I do not understand! I did not lock you away in prison, you were caught on your own. I do not wish to fight you!"

" I don't care! If you'd not have gotten in my way, I'd never had to rot in a Cintari prison! It is very much so your fault!" Blackfire sped on faster, and cut Starfire off. Then she leveled a flying kick to Star's stomach. " You'd better feel like fighting some more soon sister, I'm starting to get bored with this, and you DON'T want me to get bored. I start to get inventive after that." She sneered at Star, and threw an empowered punch at Star's face.

Star didn't take this one; she reached up and blocked it. She then lifted her head, and looked eye-to-eye with her sister. Though her eyes glowed with her power, they were never the less sorrowful. " If this is the was you want it sister. I will not disappoint you." Starfire, then launched her eyebeams, point-blank at Blackfire's fist, cinging it.

" AHHHHHHHHH!" Blackfire wailed in pain. " You little bitch!" Blackfire charges at Star, and Star does the same.

" Though I do not wish to fight you sister, I cannot permit your actions to occur within the boundaries of MY jurisdiction…so I will fight, and I will fight to win." Starfire silently told her sister in an ominous voice, as they grappled with one another in mid-air.

Beast Boy was more irritated than tired. It seemed that no matter what he threw at Mammoth, the bio-engineered monster just came back for more! ' God, what is this guy made of!?' Beast Boy's mind screamed, as he morphs into a silver back Gorilla and takes it to Mammoth head to head.

" Heh heh, that the best you can do animal boy?" Mammoth roared, as he swings a punch, aimed right for BB's thrown punch, nailing it hard.

Beast Boy roars in pain and stumbles back, morphing back to normal. " OWWWW! Dude, what the hell are you made of, Adamantium!?

" No, just tougher stuff than you." He said, as he lifted a car up with ease, and hurled it at Beast Boy.

Beast Boy quickly morphs into a Stegosaur, and turns to send his spike tail out to lash the car, stopping it in its tracks. He then quickly morphs into a grizzly bear and charges, slashing Mammoth a good one across the chest. " Hah! Looks like you ain't so tough now!" Beast Boy quipped.

Mammoth didn't waist time; he slipped behind Beast Boy, and put the grizzly in a vicious bear hug! " Hah hah! Maybe you spoke too soon!" Mammoth puts on the pressure, his grip hard enough to tear steel like paper.

Beast Boy's retort was lightning quick, as he morphed into a wooly mammoth. Mammoth didn't have enough arm length to keep his bear hug, so he let loose, and as soon as he did, BB let him have it, by tusking him, but then Mammoth delivers a staggering punch to Beast Boy's head. They both stumble back, and face each other, glaring. ' He's good…too good. He takes every one of my blows, and pays me back double. I'll have to be careful to beat this guy…'

Raven was in real trouble. In the initial trap at the bank, she'd been hammered by Gizmo Jinx and Blackfire, right on the outset, and it had weakened her severely. ' I've got to find a way to stop the bleeding, but I can't get a free moment!' Raven shrieked in her mind. " Azerath Metrion Zinthos!" She shrieked aloud, lifting a light post and sending it Jinx's way.

Jinx's response was simple. She cursed the post, and it split in two, both sides zooming right past her. " Tsk tsk Raven, that was really sloppy." She chided, as she came in to punch at Raven's bleeding torso.

Pain welled up in Raven's body upon impact, but she was able to respond to the shot, by blasting Jinx with a ravenbolt. It sent Jinx back a little, but she pushed her attack again, this time, however, Raven shielded, and used it to push Jinx back. She then capitalized by sending a nearby fire hydrant's water supply rocketing into Jinx. Raven then collapsed to her knees to catch her breath and to quickly cover the wound with strips of her own cape.

" You had bad luck before Raven, but now your luck just ran out!" Jinx sends out a huge hexbolt directly toward the ground, sending huge boulders at Raven. " Try blocking that!"

Raven raised her hands quickly. " Azerath Metrion Zinthos!" She chanted to form a shield. " What!? What's wrong! My powers!" Raven looks up, staring the rock shower about to descend upon her, and a cold knot of fear wrenched her stomach, as she realized she couldn't evade it without her powers. She quickly covers her face with her arms in an act of sheer futility. Then, all the sudden, she felt herself being roughly grabbed around the waist, and then seeming to fly through the air. She snaps her eyes open just in time to see the spot where she had just sat become absolutely covered in street debris. Then, she was sat down quickly behind a car.

" Hey, you okay there Raven?" Matt asked her in a worried tone.

" M-Matt? What are you doing here, how?" Raven spluttered.

" Saw the news, and you guys were on it, after that I hijacked this really bitchin bike in the garage and came to help." He said quickly. " Now answer my question, you okay?"

Raven nods. " Yes, I'm fine, I just need to catch my breath." She mumbled, as she got back to work on her wound. She noticed his look, when he saw the wound. " It's not as bad as it looks, It's just bled for quite some time."

" Alright. Now I'm gonna go give the others a hand, you stay here and catch your breath, okay?" He said excitedly, his voice tight with anticipation.

" What's with you?" Raven asked.

" I love a good fight, and this one looks especially good!" He replied. Then he gets up, and steps out into the fray. Jinx had been approaching the car and was surprised to see Matt pop up.

" Who the hell are you!? How dare you interrupt my fight!" Jinx steamed.

" Don't worry, I'll fight you, and as for a name, you don't need to know." He grinned impishly, as he quickly jumped up and over Jinx. She quickly fired a hexbolt right at him, but he dodged under it, and came up fast, bashing her on the head with a double-fisted over-hand stroke that felled her like a poleaxed ox. " I was afraid of that…they're not as tired, but they too are wearing down quite a bit."

Cyborg was the next closest to him, so he quickly ran over to him. " Cy, I've got your back!" Matt shouts.

" Woah! Matt? How'd you get here!?" Cyborg asked in a shocked voice.

" Explain later, fight now!" Matt said, this time all business.

Gizmo starts up the blasting again. " Hah, one or two, it doesn't matter! I'll take both you barf brains out!" He began to rapid fire again, making Matt and Cyborg run for cover.

While he was hiding, he looked up and saw that Starfire was in trouble. Blackfire had wounded Star's left arm, and now couldn't keep up with her evil sister. " Cyborg look!" Matt pointed up.

" We'll get to that after we deal with this knee high nerd!" Cyborg shouted back. He then quickly rolled to his right, and fired his cannon, hitting Gizmo right in the chest.

" Ack!" Gizmo wailed, and stumbled back. Matt took advantage of this, and jumped up to Gizmo's tentacle guns, and pointed one straight up, and forced it to fire. The shot flew straight to the mark, taking Blackfire in one stroke. " Cut it out, you loser!" He yelled and began to try to shake Matt off.

" Stupid robot junk." Matt muttered, and then took his claws to the two front tentacles, severing them.

" Booya! Right on!" Cyborg then moved in to finish the job, by ripping Gizmo's backpack computer off, and crumpling it up like a piece of paper. After that, Cyborg then punched Gizmo right in the face, knocking him out. " Ya know, I really hate him." Cyborg said, grinning from ear to ear.

Matt grinned right back. " Three down, and two to go down." He said viciously. A very grateful Starfire then attacks Matt.

" Oh thank you friend! Thank you so much!" She hugged him as tight as she could with one arm. " I owe you my life!"

" It's nothing Starfire, just came to help." He said, wincing slightly.

" Yeah, man, thanks! I was startin' to think that midget would do me in!" Cyborg said with a laugh.

" Good job." Raven said from behind, sneaking up on them in that way she does.

" Thanks guys, but I think we really should get to helping Beast Boy and Robin." Matt said, slightly embarrassed.

" That's right! Raven, Starfire, go help BB. Matt, you're with me! Teen Titans GO!!" Cyborg yells.

Beast Boy was in a hard spot. Mammoth kept countering everything he threw at him. " I know he must be getting tired, I just wish he'd show it."

" Time's up punk, I'm gonna drop you NOW!!" Mammoth roars, as her charges right in, only to be bombarded by starbolts and eyebeams, then Mammoth went black, as Raven possessed him. " WHAT!?"

" Beast Boy, go! I can't hold him forever!" Raven snaps.

Beast Boy nodded and quick took the form of a Rhino, and rammed right into Mammoths gut at full speed. The blow knocked Mammoth out instantly. " Dude, alright!"

Robin had been at a standstill with Slade for quite some time when help arrived. " Cyborg, Matt, man, am I glad to see you two! Hey, how did you get here?"

Matt sighed deeply. " Not now Robin, lets just finish this." Matt and Cyborg then run to either side of Slade and charge right in. Slade avoided both of their blows, but took his eyes off Robin to do so. In the instant he did that, Robin leaped at him with everything he had, and delivered the most powerful overhand blow he could manage with his bo-staff. Slade came down hard to his knees, groaning and clutching his head. He saw two pairs of feet right in front of him. He quickly looked up to see two fists punch him in the face. " Hmph, serves you right creep." Matt muttered.

" Oh yeah, now I enjoyed that." Cyborg stated firmly.

And there you have chapter 6! So, how was it!? I could REALLY use some reviews! Hint Hint!
