I dont own Teen Titans
Chapter 7: Renewal
The massive steel door slowly slid open, and the Titans stood in amazement. Before them was a mighty machine that streched as tall as a skyscraper. At its base, ten cylintrical chambers stood in a half circle formation. At the center was a even bigger camber that hissed and poured steam. There were small tubes that led from all the smaller chambers into a large sphere at the top of the machine. Then, from the sphere, a large tube snaked its way down to the large chamber. The whole thing looked like a giant octopus with swollen tentecles. Peter walked into a room at the machines side and pressed an button. After a few minutes, several scientists entered, all looking nervous from the attack by Silver. One of them walked upto Peter, seeming not to care the Titans were right there. "Misiour Peter," he said with a French accent, "you really think this is the answer?" Peter noded. "Yes i do. Its the only way to wash the blood off our hands." he said.
The Titans watched as the scientists began working on the machine. "Alright," Beast Boy finally said, "just what the hell is going on?" Peter, who was busy talking to several younger scientists, looked up. He looked embarassed that he forgot all about the teen super heros. "Ach, my apologies." he said, "I tend to get caught up in my work." He looked up at the machine. "Its a wonder, isnt it?" he said, his eyes sparkling, "Its the fruits of my labor. It took me 10 years to finally get the process just right." "Process?" Robin asked. Peter smiled. "By sending charged ions back and forth through DNA, i was able to mold it to my liking. But in order to do so on a large scale, i had to build this." he said pointing to the machine. The Titans, save Beast Boy, were noding, understanding what he meant. "So whats this have to do with us?" Raven asked.
Peter looked at her. "As you all saw just now, you cannot defeat Silver, even if all five of you attacked at once." The Titans noded as thier aches reminded them all too well. "But thats if you are all separate.." Peter said with a grin. For once, Beast Boy finally understood what the Russian was saying. "Wait, are you saying you want us all to be one person?" he asked. Peter smiled. "Thats exactly what im saying." The Titans all looked at him in shock. "Whoa." Raven said, thinking aloud. "Hold up," Cyborg said, "dont you think thats a little extreme?" The Frenchman steped into the conversation. "Qui, but these times call for extreme measures." Beast Boy's heart was racing. "Oh, no way am i doing some fusion thing with her!" he said, pointing at Raven. She in return gave him the coldest look she could muster. Peter laughed. "Why, are you afraid?" he chuckled. BB glared at him. "No, i just think its a little freaky to share a body with four of my closest friends!" Peter stoped laughing, but retained a smile. "Do not worry. In theory you should all become a new and whole being." "In theory." Robin commented sarcasticly. Peter looked at the Boy Wonder. "Well, the only person who knows what its like is Silver, and i dont think it would like to sit down and talk about it." The Titans still found the concept a little unsettleing.
"However, its not my decison." Peter said, "I will let you talk it over." With that, he turned and walked away to prep the machine. The Titans looked at each other. "Well, this is akward." Raven said. "Well, from where i stand, its either this or get the crap beat out of us again." Cyborg said. "Yes, but can this be the only way?" Starfire asked. "I dont think we have a choice, Star." Robin said. "I still think its too freaky." Beast Boy said. "Well, we all know what you think now dont we?" Raven snaped, glareing at the green teen. "Hey, im just saying..." BB said. "Stop it, both of you." Robin barked, "Now im with Cy on this. Either we try to beat this thing and fail, or we go with something that might give us a chance." There was a long pause between the friends. "Well," Cy said, "were friends, right?" The Titans noded. "Then why are we even questioning this?" the half-man said, "We're friends, and i dont think this whole sharing a body thing could come between us. Hell, it might even be kinda cool." The teens all looked at each other. "Well, we cool on this?" Cy said holding out his fist. After a few moments, they all put thier hands on top of Cy's extended hand. "Lets do this." Robin said.
They all walked over to Peter, who had put on a pair of goggles. "We're in." Robin said. Peter looked up and smiled. "Very well, this way." He led them to the smaller chambers, which were covered in technicians making last minute adjustments. "Hey," Beast Boy said to Peter, "if this works, will you be able to split us back up?" Peter looked at BB and grined. "Im betting that once you are all one, you wont want to split up." The chambers opened and the tech's all scuried away. "One to each chamber, please." a voice said over an intercom. The Titans walked in, but Raven felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked back to see Beast Boy. "Hey, sorry about that whole thing..." he mumbled. Raven looked into his eyes and found he was truly sorry. "Dont worry about it." she said with a slight smile. Both of them smiled at each other for a few moments before entering thier chambers.
Robin found the steel cylinder to be a little on the cramped side. He turned around and looked out its open door. Peter and the others were standing behind a wall of thick glass. Peter gave him a thumbs up. Robin returned it, then jumped when the door snaped shut. He heard a locking sound, then a voice crackled over com-link. "Now be advised," it said, "this may feel a little wierd." After a few seconds, the chamber began to glow blue. Robin gulped. After a while, he suddenly felt light headed. After that, he got a tingleing sensation throughpout his whole body. He looked down and gasped. He body was transperent like a ghost. He opened his mouth to scream, but no sound came out. He watched in horror as his hands began to dissolve into tiny bits and pieces. He looked up and saw the tiny specs drift into a shaft on the ceiling. Soon, the rest of his body began to dissolve. Robin felt like he wanted to scrape his way out of this small, cramped room. He just wanted to get out of this nightmare. But he couldnt. He was traped. He gave what he felt like was his last breath as his head and face slowly drifted apart.
Peter watched with eagerness. Although he could see or hear what was going on inside the chambers, he had a pretty good idea. He looked on as tiny specs floated up from the chambers to the large sphere. They began to slowly clump together, making bigger and bigger blops of matter. After what seemed like hours, all the specs stoped flowing and one large blob floated in the sphere. Peter quickly typed in some commands to the computer. It showed a 3D model of the several different stands of the Titans DNA. Peter carefully used the computer to put the major patterns together. Then he let the computer take over and put the rest of the DNA together. The blob started to glow as the invisable ions did their work. Peter and the others leaned forward eagerly. The blob slowly slid down the large tube and into the larger chamber in the middle. Peter's forehead was practicly touching the thick wall of glass as his heart was racing. After a few moments, the chamber door slid open, pouring out a thick myst. Peter strained his eyes to get a look. Finally, his eyes caught something coming out of the myst, and someone behind him gasped.
Standing there before them was a incredible sight. It stood about six feet tall, and had very large muscles, kinda like Cyborg's. It had spiky black and purple hair with streaks of red just barely visable in it. It wore a combination of Robin and Raven's capes that streched down well past its ankles. On its chest rested a purple vest very similar to Beast Boy's, along with his gloves. For pants it wore a simple pair of baggy black jeans. Its face was its most striking feature. It had pure green eyes, much like Starfire's, and Raven's chakra on its forehead. As for who it looked like, you could say it was a combination of the girls, and was incredibly handsome. It looked down at its hands and made them into fists. "Alright!" it yelled cheerfully. Its voice sounded alot like Silver's: eriely plain with no accent or likeness to the Titans whatsoever.
Peter took off his goggles and stared at the new being. He came out from behind the glass and walked over to it. "How do you feel?" he asked. The fused Titans looked at him. "How do i feel?" it asked, "I feel great!" Peter was taken back by its unusual sense of glory, but he smiled anyway. "Excellent." he said, then turned back to his scientists. "Where is Silver now?" he asked. One of them quickly worked a computer console, then looked up. "Its retreated back to the city, and its causing alot of trouble." Peter turned back to the fused Titans, but it was already walking out the door. "Wait!" he called, casuing it to turn around. "Do you at least have a name?"
The creature made of fused teen DNA thought for a moment. "Just call me Titan." it said, then turned and walked out the door.
Another one down. I apologize for the late update. I went on a camping trip for the Labor Day weekend with the family and for some reason took my sweet time to write this chapter. Well, hope you enjoyed this one. Big battle next chapter! Please R&R.
