I dont own Teen Titans
Chapter 6: Errors
Peter led the Titans through several white hallways, stoping ocasionally to go through a security door. Beast Boy looked around, trying to find something other than the boring white that surrounded him. Cyborg was running a diagnostic on his systems as he walked. Raven, who mostly prefered the dark, was trying her best to tolerate the brightly lit walkways. Robin and Starfire walked adjacent to each other. "Where are you leading us?" Robin asked. Peter turned his head sightly. "All in good time, all in good time." he said. Robin didnt like the fact that he was following someone he most likely shouldnt trust. Peter stoped at a massive steel door, the Titans following suit. They gazed at the huge door, guessing what may lie on the other side. Peter punched in a code at a security panel on the wall, and a tiny laser shot into his eye. After a few seconds, a black box with a hole on its side poped out of the wall. Peter slowly stuck his hand inside the box. He suddenly tensed up and grunted quietly, and then pulled his hand out. A small drop of blood fell from his finger to the white floor, defileing its pureness. Robin rasied an eyebrow. "Pretty tight security you got here." he commented. Peter looked up as he was wipeing his hand with a cloth. "You need tight security when you work in our buisness." The massive door hissed and opened slowly.
The Titans followed Peter into a huge white room. Its ceiling must of been two hundred feet above thier heads. Beast Boy wistled in amazement. Peter walked over to the almost glowing white wall and pressed a previously unknown button. The wall shook for a minute, then slid open to reveal another massive steel door. The Titans blinked in confusion. "Dude, just what do you want to protect so bad?" Beast Boy asked. Peter didnt answer and walked over to the door, punching in another code. "This one takes a little bit longer." he said, leaning down for a retnal scan. Raven sighed and sat down with her legs crossed. The rest of the Titans walked around the room, trying to see what other secrets it held. They're exploration was cut short, however, when the sound of heavy panting echoed in the room. Both the Titans and Peter looked up to see a short, balding man standing in the doorway where they entered. He looked terrified. Peter spoke to him in what sounded like German. The man replied, also in German. His voice was shaking with fear. Cyborg looked at Peter. "Hey, whats he saying?" he asked. Peter simply looked at them all. "Your double is here."
There was a sudden gasp, and the Titans looked back to see the short man hanging in the air. A silver colored tentecle was wraped around his neck. It looked like a octopus tentecle. "Nein! Nein!" he screamed. The Titans shot to attention. Suddenly, there was a faint snap, and the man fell limp, his limbs dangleing in the air. The tentecle let go, droping him to the ground. It slithered through the air and back around the corner, dissapearing. The Titans stood ready for battle as a silver being slowly came into view. It didnt look like any of the Titans at all. It simply was a tall, muscular figure, with a bald head. It looked neither male nor female. Its chrome body shined in the light. It looked right past the Titans and into Peter's eyes. "Hello, doctor." it said. Its voice wasnt a copy of any of the Titans, either. It sounded disturbingly plain. Peter looked right back at it. "Feeling a little homesick, Silver?" The chrome creature smiled. "You could say that." it said.
Silver looked back at the Titans. "Like the new look?" it asked, "I just figured i should stop being a copy cat." The Titans seemed unmoved by its humor. "What do you want?" Robin asked. Silver smiled at the Boy Wonder. "Im just here to complete my purpose." The Titans looked confused. "What would that be?" Starfire asked. Silver stoped smileing and gained a serious look. "Im programed to be the ultimate being." it said, "Im supposed to be the best of the best. But there remains one fatal flaw to my design." It narrowed its eyes at the Titans. "When it boils down to it, im nothing but a copy of existing beings, namely you. That means there are entities that are my equals. That cannot be. I am the ultimate being. I intend to prove my power and fix my error by eliminating the equal entities." The Titans glared at Silver as its hands glowed green. "And i intend to start right now." it said with a smirk.
Without warning Silver leaped at the Titans, casuing them to scatter. Cyborg pulled out his cannon and fired at Silver. A black shield appeared around it, casuing Cy's attack to bounce right back at him. Cy's eyes widend and he was knocked across the room. Silver smiled, and looked up to see Starfire. It flew up to her at unimagineable speed, floating a few inches frome her face. Starfire gasped as Silver smirked, his eyes glowing green. Star barely dodged the eyebeam, the tips of her hair smoldering. She flew away quickly, but stoped when she bumped into something cold. She looked up to see Silver's chrome face reflecting her own. She yelped as it wraped its arms around her and sent a surge of black energy through her, stuning her. Suddenly, a glowing black steel piped smacked into Silver, casuing it to drop Star and splatter across the wall. Raven floated a few feet from it, her eyes glowing white. She watched unblinking as Silver slowly reformed from its flat smear across the wall. It glared at Raven, and another steel pipe came crashing through the wall, a black glow surrounding it. Silver launched the projectile at Raven. She concentrated and sliced the pipe in two. She took over the two halves and sent them back at Silver. It just tilted its head and held up its hand. A blue sonnic blast flew from its palm, destroying both pipes. A third beam hit Raven dead on, causing her to fall to the floor.
Robin and Beast Boy watched on from ground level, waitng for thier chance. Robin glanced over to Peter, and was surprised to find him gone. He looked around franticly, but he was nowhere to be found. Great....he thought. He looked over at Beast Boy. "BB, ive got a plan. Can you keep it busy?" he said. BB looked at him and noded. He transformed into a hawk and flew up at Silver, while Robin pulled out a small black sphere. BB flew above Silver, hopeing he wasnt seen. He looked down and saw Silver had it's back turned. Without hesitation he gained the form of a gorilla and let gravity do its work. Right as he was going to slam into it, Silver whirled around and wraped a arm around BB's waist. With a quick twirl, Beast Boy was flung to the floor. He regained human form as Silver landed a few feet away. BB shook his head and morphed into a velociraptor. He shrieked at Silver and charged, his claws ready to slice through the chrome being. Silver smiled and morphed into a T-Rex, making BB seem like a ant. Beast Boy skided to a halt, and Silver roared at him. It twisted its body and slamed its tail into the green raptor, sending it into a wall. BB regained human form as Silver roared again. Suddenly, it felt something small hit its side. It turned its massive T-Rex head to find a small black ball attached to its abdomen. It was beeping faster and faster.....
A huge blast rocked the room, and Silver's top half ceased to be. The remaining half turned back into human legs, but they remained standing. Robin rasied an eyebrow as Silver reformed its torso, a angry look on its face. Robin pulled out his bo staff. Silver glared at him and formed a staff in its hand. The two opponets remained still for a few moments. "You know why im a perfect fighter?" Silver asked. "Why?" Robin asked sarcasticly. Silver smiled. "Because unlike you, i feel no fear. I dont tremble with it as you are now." it said. Robin glared at Silver, then noticed his staff was shaking slightly. As much as he hated to admit it, Robin was truly frightned. Silver smirked and charged. Robin charged as well, and thrust his staff forward. He drove it into Silver's gut, completley impaleing the creature. Silver just looked down and there was a faint snap from within it. Robin pulled back to find his staff snaped in two. He looked up to find Silver's staff coming down on him. He stumbled back from the sudden impact, stuned. He thrashed his arms wildly, then stoped when he felt a kick to his back. He turned around to find no one there. Another blow to his back made him fall to his knees. He scrambled to his feet, only run into Silver's awaitng palm. The chrome monster held Robin high in the air, then flung him to the ground. Robin had barely realized he was lying down when a fist slamed into his stomach. He coughed and weezed as Silver stood over him. "Now to eliminate the error." it said with a smirk. Its eyes glowed green.
Suddnely, Silver felt a small prick in it's neck. It reached up and pulled a small dart out. Confused, it looked over to the doorway. Peter stood there, a small silver gun in his hands. Silver looked at him then felt something was wrong. It felt like its insides were churning within itself. Suddenly it shrieked, and looked down at itself. Its very body looked like it was melting. It gasped and looked back at Peter. "DAmN yoU!" it screamed, its voice sounding slured. It shot forward, just grazing past Peter. It slither out into the hall and retreated into a vent shaft. Peter pulled back the top of the gun and put another dart in as the Titans slowly got to thier feet. "Dude, that thing owned us!" Beast Boy said, rubbing his head. Peter cocked the gun and spoke, "Of course. It has all your strengths and none of your weaknesses." He walked over to the large door on the other side of the room. "Quickly," he said as he reentered the door's code, "that dart will only keep it busy for a little while." The Titans reluctantly walked over, nurseing thier aches and pains. "How do we stop that thing?" Raven asked, clutching her gut. Peter leaned down for the retnal scan, then quickly shot back up to punch in a second code.
"Simple," Peter said, "you become its true equal."
