Ohayoo/Konichiwa/Konbanwa!! Well, whatever time you're reading this, that means hey hey to you all. Sorry it took me so long to post this... I was grounded (CURSE YOU, YOU FIENDS!!) Now I shall proceed with chapter one!!
Chapter Ichi(One)-The Hacker
"Yes, very soon," Slade answered. "Now, the Teen Titans will never be bored again," Slade paused, "Not after I'm finished with them... and their powers."
Starfire walked up to the roof, only to find Raven crossed legged, meditating.
"Pardon my interruption," Starfire paused as Raven opened one eye. "But I was wondering if you would be interested in joining me to 'hang out'. We could perhaps volley the ball or-"
"No," Raven said dully.
"Well, all right, that is... ok. I shall go downstairs to see what the boys are doing," Starfire said, downhearted, as she walked back down the stairs.
Next, she walked into the den, where Robin, Beast Boy, and Cyborg were playing Pod Racers IV on GameStation.
"Hello, friends!" Starfire said joyfully. But, of course, the boys were too busy menacingly pressing the buttons on their controllers to even hear Starfire.
"May I join in on your playing of the video games?" Starfire said as she leaned her elbows on the top of the couch.
Still no answer. Starfire sighed, then walked up to the GameStation system, about to press the 'reset' button.
That got the guys' attention. Their eyes got wide and they stood up.
"Ah, no! Don't do it, Star!!" Beast Boy said with tears in his eyes. "I'm actually winning!"
Cyborg scoffed. "Yeah, right. I was beating you by a mile!" Cyborg yelled at Beast Boy.
Starfire stepped away from the system, but Beast Boy and Cyborg were still at each other. Robin was just sitting there, a sweatdrop falling down the back of his head.
Starfire sighed again, then made her way towards the door out of the den with her head down.
Robin looked back at her. "Are you okay, Starfire?" Robin said as he stood up and walked toward her.
"Oh, yes, I will... be okay," Starfire said gloomily as she walked out of the room, Cyborg and Beast Boy's argument still being heard in the background.
"Wait!" Robin called after her. Starfire turned around.
"I-" Robin started to say but was interrupted by the Titans Siren. Robin opened up his communicator.
"Trouble downtown!" Robin shouted to the others as Raven walked into the room.
Raven gave a sigh. "Who is it this time?" Raven asked, annoyed.
"I'm not sure who. But his name is The Hacker," Robin said.
"Well, at least we know he's good with computers!" Beast Boy commented, trying to make a joke. No one thought it was funny, not even the author of this story.
"That was... meant to be humorous?" Starfire asked.
"Even if it was meant to be, it sure wasn't," Raven said.
"Aww, come on Raven, you don't think anything is funny," Beast Boy whined.
"Come on guys!! I feel like kickin' some Hacker butt!" Cyborg said adjusting his right robotic arm.
"Right. Titans GO!" Robin said to the other Titans, and they took off to the city.
Yet again, at the same time, Slade was curiously watching the Titans on his monitor.
Slade laughed evilly. "Now, it is time."
----LATER DOWNTOWN----
By the time the Titans got downtown, The Hacker was already set on destroying that part of town. The Hacker was a yellow human-like creature with a big head (literally), huge, round glasses, and was about seven feet tall. His greatest weapon; a laptop computer. But the computer was no ordinary one. In place of a web camera, there was a laser, ready to shoot out anything The Hacker wanted it to.
"I told you he was good with computers!" Beast Boy said.
"Not now, Beast Boy. We have to stop that laser from destroying the city!" Robin said. "Titans, GO!"
First, Raven tried removing the computer from The Hacker's grasp. "Azarath Metrion Zenthos!" Raven shouted as a ball of black energy projected from her hands. It reflected right off the computer.
"It's no use, you silly Titan!" The Hacker yelled and laughed threateningly. He typed something in on the keyboard of his laptop.
Raven gasped as The Hacker's laser shot out a stream of black toward her. She tried to move out of the way, but the laser was too fast. It hit her head on and she fell to the ground, unconscious.
"Raven!" Starfire shouted, worried. Starfire decided it was her turn. Her eyes began to glow green, but Robin stopped her.
"Starfire, wait. I should take this now. I don't want to put any more Titans in danger," Robin said.
"You cannot defeat The Hacker alone! Everyone shall help," Starfire protested.
Robin nodded in agreement. "Fine, then," Robin said.
So Robin, Starfire, Beast Boy, and Cyborg all attacked The Hacker at once.
The Hacker laughed. "Are you crazy? You cannot defeat me and my computer, we will destroy all who come our way! Including the Teen Titans!" He shouted.
"We'll see about that!" Beast Boy said as he changed into a hawk and flew above The Hacker, intending to swoop down and swipe the computer.
The Hacker typed into his computer again and a stream of green came out of the laser and hit Beast Boy. Beast Boy changed back into a human before plunging to the ground.
Beast Boy stood up, holding his head. He walked over to Raven, attempting to wake her up.
"Hey, Raven, wake up! We still kinda have to save the city from an evil villain!" Beast Boy said.
Raven sat up with a groan. "What happened?" she asked.
"That crazy Hacker dude hit you with his laser. And me too!" Beast Boy explained.
"Well, let's wrap this up," Raven said as she got up.
"Azarath Metrion Zenthos!" Raven yelled again. But nothing happened. Her powers weren't working.
Beast Boy eyed Raven. "This isn't one of your little illusion thingies that appear when you're scared, is it?" Beast Boy said sheepishly.
"No, don't be stupid. He's just another criminal, I'm not scared. Fear is pointless," Raven said.
"Yeah like last time-" Beast Boy said. Raven eyed him and he shut his mouth.
Beast Boy sweatdropped. "Well, I guess I should go help the others," Beast Boy said. I'm going T-Rex this time... he thought... and thought, waiting to change into a T-Rex.
"Huh?!" Beast Boy said, dumbfounded. "I can't change into anything!!" Beast Boy said as he tried again. "Nothing! Not even a fly!"
Raven thought for a moment, then gasped. "Think about it, Beast Boy. We both got hit by the laser, we both don't have our powers," Raven said.
"So what you're saying is-?" Beast Boy asked.
Raven said, "That laser has the capability to take our powers away from us. And we better stop it before it takes anyone else's."
