Anger, more anger, hatred. These were the emotions going through Kid as he ran as fast as he could toward the smug looking Nikoro, who just twelve hours ago was his best friend, starting a relationship with a beautiful girl…who was now laying in a pile of burned up bricks and possibly dead. Nikoro didn't see Kid coming nor did he have time to react when Kid delivered a powerful kick to the spirit warrior's head, knocking him to the ground.

"Get up you PIG!" spat Kid as Nikoro got to his feet, he was barely up when Kid rushed at him and elbowed him in the face. Nikoro smirked as he got up.

"Don't wear your self out now," they teased, as they wiped the blood from their face,

"You cocksucker!" yelled Kid as he flung a throwing knife at Nikoro which embedded itself into his shoulder,

"Arrgh!" Yelled Nikoro as they pulled the blade out of his flesh.

"So you want to play with swords eh?" They asked as they created an energy blade and pointed at Kid, Kid returned the gesture as the circled each other.

Beast Boy didn't see the initial rush but he did see that his friends needed his help. But he couldn't do anything with his other friends battling to the death.

"Crap, what am I gonna do?…Raven!" he suddenly turned into a falcon and flew off toward the direction of the tower.

Meanwhile the two Titans battled it out on the concrete as Nikoro thrust his blade at the young samurai, who in return slapped the blade down and stabbed the warrior in the opposite shoulder, making him lose his balance and fall to the ground.

"What made you think you could defeat me with a sword battle?" Kid asked as he pointed the tip of his blade at Nikoro's throat. Nikoro smirked

"Maybe I should try harder then?" and with that a huge flash of light made Kid stumble backward and as the light dimmed. A new version of Nikoro stood, his hat was gone and his hair was silver white and it stood up like a super saiyn,

"What the Hell? Who are you?" Kid stammered

"Why it's me Will, but my power is a it's peak, I have unlocked Nikoro's full potential, thanks to this little device" with that he turned around and the device of mind control was implanted in the back of his neck.

"Will who did that to you?" Kids only response was laughter.

"You would like to know wouldn't you?" Nikoro laughed, charged the dumbfounded Kid, punching him rapidly in the face and throwing him to the ground. Kid growled and tripped the warrior and punched him in the gut, it had no effect and Nikoro laughed as he kicked Kid across the street into a street lamp making the lamp bent over and Kid decided not to try anything else as he groaned in pain. Suddenly the spirit warrior started to float into the air. Kid got up and turned around to see Raven, eyes red and very pissed off.

"Oh look at wittle waven" laughed Super Nikoro, "I am not some little weakling you can manipulate!" Shouted the warrior as he teleported behind her, but Raven teleported away before Nikoro could do anything, suddenly Kid noticed an energy change in Will, it was dropping rapidly.

"Raven keep dodging him his energy will drop and we can tear that device out of his head." Yelled Kid to the moody Titan.

"Alright" she confirmed and kept dodging the spirit warrior's energy blasts.

"Your little games will not stop me!" Shouted Super Nikoro, suddenly the blasts stopped and his added bulk disappeared

"What is happening?" he was freaking out now as his power was slowly draining, suddenly the hat appeared then disappeared and Will went through every possible transformation possible, before he was his regular self. And he passed out on the ground.

"How's Star?" asked Kid as he walked up next to Raven, he was bleeding from his face profusely,

"She's alive, barely alive but alive," Raven sighed,

"Thanks for helping out, I don't we could have beat him without you." He stated, Raven then walked off in the direction of the Tower not saying anything or looking back.

"Great talking to ya," Kid mumbled as he picked up Robin and followed her back home.

A WEEK LATER,

The animosity towards Will had finally dissipated, the Titans knew it wasn't his fault but they still couldn't feel a bit angry at him, it took Starfire and Robin the longest to forgive him. with Star he had to buy two dozen roses, chocolate, a new teddy bear, and a date at a very, very, very expensive restraunt. Then he had to treat her to a movie. Robin on the other hand was more pissed at him just for the fact that Starfire picked Will over him, so Will decided he would just ignore the boy wonder until he decided to get that 'stick out of his ass' as Kid put it.

Kid on the other hand was trying to get Raven to at least notice his efforts of affection, though with her controlled emotions it was a hard thing, he tried everything, from flowers to singing to her outside of her window. The flowers were returned and a brick on the head was the response he got for the singing effort.

"Damnation," Kid groaned as he pulled the sombrero he was wearing off of his head and plopped himself on the new couch next to Starfire and Will, who were in the middle of watching some romantic movie.

"What the fuck is this crap?" Kid said gesturing at the giant TV,

"It is called Ten things I hate about you." Stated Starfire,

"Man I don't wanna watch this" Kid whined "Will can't you just put in Casablanca I like that movie and it'll get you laid ten times faster anyway."

"Laid?" Starfire was very confused, with that Will punched Kid in the shoulder,

"What! What did I do now?" Kid said as he rubbed his shoulder,

"Something, besides Kid, Star and I are watching this movie not you, and she picked it out so if you don't want to watch just leave," Will stated, Kid mumbled and slouched deeper in the new suede couch,

"Fine but if you guys start making out I'm outta here." After a while Kid heard the sounds of Star and Will kissing,

"Okay goodbye" Kid said as he got up and rushed toward the Garden, on the way he spotted Beast Boy heading toward the lounge,

"Don't go in there," Kid said

"Why not?" BB asked as he headed into the lounge Kid heard a resounding AAAAH! MY EYES THEY BURN! Kid smirked and entered the garden. After a while Kid was balancing on his right hand on a large rock his eyes closed deep in concentration, suddenly

"Ow." He muttered as he dropped to the ground and turned to Raven standing there tossing a rock up and down,

"You call that concentration?" she asked,

"I didn't think you would come back here after the last ass whipping I gave you," Kid smirked, as he dusted himself off

"That dear Kid was an act of mercy on my part after I beat you how many times? I guess I lost count after it hit double digits,"

"That dear Raven was the coddling the members of my sex must bestow upon the members of your sex."

"Oh that's it you'll eat those words and half the rocks in this garden" she said throwing the rock at Kid, Kid caught it and responded

"C'mon Raye make me." And he got into a fighting stance, Raven went into a fighting stance of her own, Kid threw the first punch, He knew Raven could take a lot of damage but he still held back a little. Raven dodged the punch and gave Kid a roundhouse kick to the side, but Kid caught her leg, grabbed her shoulder and in a fluid motion threw her to the ground. Kid offered her his hand as she got back up; Raven took and promptly tripped him.

"Ow," Kid stated as he jumped back up and did a double front kick at Raven who blocked one but the other kick caught her on the jaw and she stumbled back. She smirked and punched Kid in the stomach and while he was keeled over she elbowed him in the back knocking him to the ground. Kid quickly got back up and threw a kick only to have it blocked

"Had enough?" she asked, Kid smirked and did the matrix hand C'mon thing. Raven smiled and threw a punch and then a kick. Kid blocked all of Ravens punches and kicks before he threw a side kick knocking her into a rock. She returned the favor by rushing him then giving a roundhouse kick to the chest, soon the two Titans were panting and trying to stay on their feet as they continued to spar. Kid was almost to the point of losing his footing and falling over, Raven was still up but she was out of breath and sweating profusely.

"Why don't we just call this a draw?" gasped Kid as he supported himself on a rock, Raven nodded as she sat down on a small bench. Kid joined her soon after.

"Well at least we both know what would happen if we got in a fight." Kid sighed as he took off his sweatshirt,

"Yeah, but I'd still probably win." Raven stated, Kid just sat there in silence, his mind was elsewhere,

"Kid…" Raven, said

"Yeah?"

"Do you mind if I ask you something."

"No prob," Kid said slightly blushing,

"Do you really think Keyser Soze is behind Will's possession?" Kid blinked he stammered trying to think, this question caught him off guard, here he was all alone with Raven, and she want's to talk business,

"Say something stupid," Kid shook his head in an attempt to clear his mind, "Yes I do."

"So do I." She said and promptly stood up and left the garden leaving a flabbergasted Kid,

3 WEEKS LATER.

The weather was getting chilled as the month of February started to roll around. Kid hated the month, it was to cold to be spring but to cold to be winter, but this month a big blizzard had hit the city and the whole area was covered in snow and it was blistering cold.

"Stupid snow, stupid cold." Kid grumbled as he took of his big winter jacket and his boots, he had a Santa Claus hat and a scarf. And of course mittens. He continued to grumble as he brought in the multiple bags of groceries and set them on the table,

"Explain to me again why I had to get the food?" Kid said as he started to put the groceries away,

"Cause you're the only one with a drivers license," said Beast Boy not looking up from his game,

"No Robin has a license." Kid stated as he sat down next to Beast Boy,

"Yeah but Robin doesn't have a car." Stated Beast Boy

"He could just borrow mine," Kid said,

"Sure but your car has no heat," Cyborg put in as he just disemboweled BB's character on the game.

"Hey! My car has heat just in the summer," Kid said as he picked up a heart shaped box of chocolates, and started to eat the candy inside. Suddenly Will came in.

"Hello gents!" he exclaimed, "wonderful day isn't it?

"What's so wonderful about it?" Kid said bitterly as he ate another chocolate,

"Because tomorrow is mine and Starfire's two week anniversary, and I have my checklist all crossed off," he said pulling out a pad of paper, "a reservation at a romantic restaurant, a love valentine, and flowers and a box of chocoLATES! Kid you just ate the chocolates I had imported from Switzerland." Will yelled,

"Huh…oh oops sorry," Kid said not even looking away from the TV. And poor Will about to have a nervous breakdown,

"Those chocolates cost me 150.00 dollars!" Will sobbed, "KID I'LL KILL YOU!" and Will started to throttle Kid, while Beast Boy and Cyborg sweatdropped.

"Just…Buy…some…more," Kid choked,

"I would if I had money," Will said through clenched teeth, "Now I have to go shopping again," Will sighed and put his head in his hands, suddenly he perked up,

"Wait I do have money!" and he ran off to his room.

Mean While

"Hello Raven!" Starfire perked at the Titan, Raven grumbled at being disturbed in the middle of her meditation,

"What do you want Starfire?" she asked irritated

"Well tomorrow is William and I's two week anniversary and I still need to get him something do you think you could come with me to the maul of shopping?" Star grinned,

"Will you leave me alone?" Star nodded eagerly

"Then yes,"

"But Will I don't want to go shopping" Kid whined as Will dragged him to Kid's car,

"Tough I have just enough money to buy Star something new and your gonna have to suffer through this with me!" Will stated sternly,

"But it's the day before Valentines Day do you know how packed the mall's gonna be?" Kid protested,

"I know how crowded the mall will be, so we better get there soon huh?" Will said as he threw Kid in the car and made him start it, and the old '78 Camero, and the machine rumbled off toward the mall.

The old car soon found a semi decent parking space (Kid parked across three handicapped spots and faked a limp toward the entrance).

As they predicted the interior was packed. Almost wall to wall with bodies,

"Dear Jesus." Kid said as he gapped at all the people,

"Well lets get this over with," Will sighed as they made their way into the crowded abyss,

Meanwhile, on the other side of the mall Starfire and Raven where looking through random shops for a decent guy present,

"What do you think a normal Earth boy would like for a present?" Star asked, Raven sighed,

"I don't know Star but if I know the normal male train of though sex sells," and she pointed to a Victoria's Secret,

"OOH" and Starfire's eyes lit up, as she headed for the risqué shop

"But we're not going in there Star," Raven groaned as she pulled the alien away from the store,

"Let's find something more practical," Raven said and they headed for a sports outlet.

Kid was tired of walking and he was hungry, he had put up several requests to stop at a food stop, but Will wanted to get a present and go.

"Ooh look blintzes can we get blintzes?" Kid asked,

"No."

"Please?"

"No."

"I'll pay"

"No"

"C'mon."

"No."

"This sucks why can't we eat something? It's bad enough you dragged me here but starving me is just plain mean."

"Kid you just ate a whole box of 50 chocolates there is no way you can still be hungry,"

"Yeah well I am so deal with it." Suddenly Will stopped in his tracks near a jewelry store,

"There!" Will said pointing

"There what?"

"That ring is what I wanna get Starfire," Will said running over to the display counter, and asked the teller,

"How much is that ring?" he pointed to the ring he wanted which was silver with diamonds in the shape of a star

"700 and fifty-five dollars," the clerk said in that unammused and snooty tone,

"Damn I only have 200 on me, Kid can I borrow 555.00?"

"Uh sure" Kid said as he started to pull out his wallet, "wait no! You are to much of an impulse shopper when it comes to Starfire you need to learn to budget your money I can't always lend you money and ooh!" and his eyes caught something on one of those tall display cases,

"A drinking bird made out of quartz! How much" Kid asked the teller?

"400 dollars"

"I'll take it!" and Kid slapped a wad of bills down on the counter. Will sweatdropped

"And you said I was an impulse shopper," but Kid wasn't listening,

"Now we get food," stated Kid as they walked back to the blintzes restaurant and sat down at an empty booth, they ordered and Kid put his new 'toy' on the table, and he watched it go back and forth, Will sighed and started to speak,

"Kid after this we need to buckle down and get Star something before rush hour starts," and he checked his watch it read 3:30,

"It's going back for more," Kid chuckled as he kept staring at the bird,

"Kid are you listening to me!" Will said,

"Huh…yeah leave get present gotcha'" Kid muttered as their food came they quickly finished it and walked off in search for a decent gift.

"Raven I do not understand what all this symbols on these garments stand for are they some sort of gang or clan?" Starfire said as she held a Buffalo Bills sweater, Raven groaned and stopped thumbing through the baseball jerseys,

"They're sports teams Starfire earth boys wear these to support their choice of sport teams." Raven explained,

"Oh I see like Frungenball! But what sport team does William choose?" Star puzzled

"I don't know I've seen him wear a Bills hat a lot, why don't you get him that sweater you're holding," Raven sighed,

"Very well!" she beamed and purchased the shirt, then Starfire decided to look in a guitar store and the walked in.

Will sighed that had been walking for about 45 minutes and still they couldn't find anything and with Kid stopping at every little thing that caught his eye, and that was mostly cute girls and the endless whining, finally Will had, had enough,

"FOR THE LOVE OF GOD KID SHUT UP!" he yelled and every head in the mall turned and stared at the two teens, Will blushed and gave a weak wave, Kid just looked around very taken back at his friends outburst. Will grumbled and grabbed his friend and stomped off.

"This really sucks Kid just so you know" Will seethed as they finally stopped at a bath and body store,

"Sorry," Kid said rubbing his head, feeling bad, "so what should we buy?"

"I don't know." Will said seeing nothing that he thought was worthy of his girlfriend's attention.

"Before you kill me." Kid interrupted "I would like to get a new guitar or just look at one,"

"Fine I'll meet you there later," Will grumbled as he kept looking over the shelves,

"Cool," and Kid wandered off. Soon he found himself in the same store that Starfire and Raven were in, but Kid didn't notice them, as started looking at all the different guitars, he picked one up and played a few licks of Stairway to Heaven. Starfire heard the music and turned to see Kid, she grinned and hollered at him,

"Hello Kid!" Kid looked up and gave a weak wave before he slowly made his way to the exit, and ran off to find Will, he found him looking through a spendy clothing store,

"Starfire's here!" he panted,

"What?"

"Starfire is here" Kid said again catching his breath,

"Ah crap!" he yelled "now what am I going to do, did you make eye contact with her?"

"Uh huh" Kid nodded

"Damn now she's going to try and find us, we don't have a lot of time,"

"Maybe we should just put this off and leave" Kid suggested suddenly their train of thought was interrupted when an explosion made them look and see a figure, he was blue his face was covered up by a mask but his left hand was the most distinguishing feature it was large four huge blade fingers sprouted from it.

"Who's this clown?" Kid said as he stared at the figure. And it seemed that the person heard and said,

"You can call me Ice Pack and I'm here to deliver a message from Slade,"

"And what is that?" Will shouted to Ice Pack,

"Die" and with that a large beam erupted from the figures three-blade fingers and as Kid and Will dodged the blast. They could see that everything the beam touch froze.

"This guy is pissing me off," stated Kid as he drew his sword,

"I concur:" And Will powered up the cloak around his neck.

On the other side of the mall Raven and Starfire heard the explosion and they saw the people panicking but they did not see who was causing the destruction,

"Let's check this out" Raven said and Starfire nodded as they flew off. Toward the battling Ice Pack and Kid and Will.

Kid ducked an ice blast from the villain, while Will had tackled the mercenary to the ground, but Ice Pack quickly slashed Will across the chest. Will stumbled back as his down coat split open, Ice Pack chuckled but he did not see Kid as he came up and kicked the villain in the back, knocking him down, Ice Pack retaliated and fired an ice blast at Kid but Kid jumped over it. Will growled as he charged Ice Pack and punched him in the gut, making him keel over.

Starfire and Raven saw Will and Kid battling some freak in a blue and silver costume and they were doing rather well until Will misjudged a kick from the figure and he fell over, Starfire did not like that and started to charge toward the villain.

Ice Pack was thrown to the ground by the barrage of star bolts that erupted at his feet, but the mysterious hire quickly whipped around and fired an ice blast at Starfire. Star didn't see it coming and didn't have time to react when she was frozen solid and fell to the ground.

"Starfire!" Will roared at Ice Pack and charged up to full Nikoro power,

"You'll pay for that!" he seethed and powered up an energy blast at Ice. But Ice Packs freeze beam was faster than the charging blast, and Nikoro's forearm was coated in a thick layer of ice.

"Damn-" but he didn't finish as Ice Pack finished smothering Nikoro, and Nikoro fell to the ground with a resounding thud. Kid and Raven exchanged glances then looked at their fallen comrades.

"Raven…" Kid said,

"Yeah, get Will and Star back to the tower, I'll take care of this fruit!" he said, Raven nodded and picked up the frozen Starfire and Will, and flew off,

"Raven!" Kid yelled Raven stopped, "comeback safe," Raven nodded again and flew off in the direction of the tower.

"Ice Pack let me ask you something as Kid drew his blade and pointed at the figure facing him "have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moon light?" and with that the battle was on.

A/N: oh no Starfire and Will frozen! What a tragedy what will happen, I figured I should add an ice villain cuz the titans never fight one, weird huh any way enjoy and review, TTFN
