AN: A self idea after seeing the episode; ran out of adding Teen Titan female characters as I know little and added two of the Justice league characters instead; Hawkgirl and wonderwoman. Anyway onwards with this now and please Review!!
Tournament Of Heroines"Raven?"
"Yeah?""I don't like the looks of this." Admitted Starfire quietly, they were busy searching for robin, beast boy and cyborg since they just 'vanished' from yesterday only to find themselves in an unexpected act of an act that they would be hurtled across to another place in just a flash. The inner dome with its silver walls seem to give a cold and lonely feel, but the observation was cut short; very short as voices one old and one most unwanting came out.
"Starfire?"
"Terra?"
"Raven!"
"You!" Raven's eyes sharped angrily with a gaze to pierce and tear a soul as she flung to meet what the voice hinted at; her old foe, Jinx. Raven's anger cut short Starfire's monologue of joy and definition of promising reunion now that Terra was here, but that was bad enough to raven that the blonde stranger should turn and now with Jinx as well but before action was summoned by either spell or curse Starfire jumped in waving a ceasing truce.
"Friends! Please stop"
""She's not my friend, let alone 'heroine'" Starfire just walked to raven and tried braking down her fierce stare with one of her annoying smiles that were to wide for their own good.
"Come now Raven, let you not get mad, the past is past and all must come to know that a gathering creates many friends; true?"
Raven's eyes now widened in somewhat small surprise, not that it was much surprise she just didn't know how to break the announcement of this new figure of who they knew very well or in star's case, rather she didn't knew.
"I..Best suggest you take back that comment, for now.."
"Raven, why must I..Oh do you not see? We are forming a group, and like we were with robin, beast boy and cyborg we will become truly a great team and get on most certainly well, just as I get on well with robin do you get on well with the man of metal; cyborg!"
"……….." A vein was slowly rising in Raven's forehead a sign of slight embarrassment of emotion and anger, in that Starfire just blurted not just the obvious but the fact that she knew all along which only greatened the temptation to whisper those three ancient words that sealed the doom of any who pushed the line and bringing this issue in front of everyone in public was a good stepping stone for Starfire in facing those three words of her wrath. And she might have as well if she hadn't seen the person that her friend failed to see almost smirking in amusement over Starfire's mentioning of Robin; of course that was more noticeable than Jinx's snigger at hearing over Cyborg and her, yet Raven stayed deadly silent knowing that to see Starfire lose her cool at the mystery woman at the back was worth seeing and compensation for all of this 'loose talk'
"Erm..Did I cause offend at the small level?"
"One: I DO NOT, repeat, get on well with Cyborg!..I just tolerate him that's all"
"Oh but that cannot be for I have seen the"-
"Starfire?" Urged her friend with some impatience from her eyes. "You're forgetting number two and three. Number two; you might want to keep that public opinion of Cyborg quiet…as well as Robin"
"Is it because you fear monumental collapse of one's sanity where he or she will dwell into disarray and instant denial over their former sentence of words? Fear not my friend I have no shame or fear of losing control for no one here cannot be mean for we are in a group and therefore friends!" Raven looked badly in disbelief; she was going to regret saying it but her friend was going to find out anyhow, better she thought by her hand than by Starfire's.
"..Well in that case, if you value that logic..Even if you have forgotten about jinx; than just don't look behind."
"Behind but Raven we are friends for we have gathered in that called a gro..YOU?!" Starfire went alter ego as her eyes burrowed into that illuminating green that swore out vengeance; quite a contrast to her pacifist view two minutes ago.
"Hello little sister" Grinned Blackfire as she was finally exposed; she took amusement out of hiding and eavesdropping, the slightly taller black haired alien humanoid was the elder sister to Starfire; it still amazed her how she could easily enrage her little sister though she was more into settling a score especially how she got literally wrapped up by authorities by her meddling. But she didn't let that show as seeing how Starfire react gave her the greatest smile of satisfaction she had felt for some time.
"Friends with mystery boy eh?" Slyed the older sister knowing full well she was on about Robin. "Good your friends but I don't think you ever got close to him as I did little sis"
" You have no place here you..you.. Horesackdeckenshu!"
"..Well that's a new one" Said Raven dryly with a awkward eyebrow raising in curiosity. Blackfire just smirked at Starfire's wrathful tone.
"Remember sister were in a group right? Groupings make friends right?"
Starfire lost it as she unleashed her furious bolts, flung at great verocity as it struck and scolded the wall behind blakfire with stains of smoulder; Blackfire though just simply glided in air from left to right easily parrying away from the blasts.
"Keep it up sis! And tell me when you finally stopped playing!" Starfire zoomed instead with readying to fight it out.
"Starfire cool it now!" Though amusing it was Raven best thought it wouldn't be wise to battle and get injured in a place that was alien to all, though for a few seconds she forgot about something only to hear its foul voice as a dreadful reminder.
"Oh your one to talk" coyed Jinx "And urgh..You still have that blue cloak of yours? It's about mangy as your room!" Forgetting what she once said Raven instead recurbarted a phrase that unlike her memories was one that never faded as she glared angrily. "Azarath Metrion Zin-"
"And yeah hi to you all" Said Terra sarcastically as everyone was drawing their own battlelines when a booming voice set in; loud yet not angry of the sort, just assertive in regaining order.
"Champions please be calm, I have not sent you here so you can fight at your own accord I have invited you to the tournament; MY tournament. A tournament that shall determine who is the greatest of them all and so please follow the rules that will come.
"Explain" Requested Raven.
"You shall fight a particular oppeont, the winner stays on and the loser goes home; this will continue till two are left to duel it. The winner; champion of heroines will receive a prize. If you feel that your heart is not up to the challenge than merely say so and I shall cast you home." There was silence, which was a good enough answer to the master of games. "Good. Oh and I'll bring in two more since were a bit short for the tournament"
"Is this because you want to enlighten us with the surprise that is the element of mystery?" Blackfire just lowered her head in slight disbelief in having to accept the fact that the backward sentence imbecile of the English language was her sister; hardly the shining star of Tamaria.
"..That" Said the games master "And that the five of you were just simply chaotic as it was; why you couldn't be like the others is something I'm yet to learn"
"Others? You mean that of robin, beast boy and man of metal; the cyborg"
"..Just stick with Cyborg Starfire ok?"Muttered Raven once more. The games master though was impressed and even momentarily looked briefly worried as he sat fiddling with his red gem. He guessed she knew by the teleportaion flash that they were whisked away by the same style of it.
"You are correct; and may I add that Robin was truly a worthy champion"
"Really?" Starfire's eyes seem to sparkle again in admiration over the boy wonder's triumph.
"Oh but what off beast boy?"
"He lost fairly"
"And of Cyborg?"
"Disqualified"
"What?" Raven bursted out in genuine and unexpected shock to the others. "I mean..are you sure, as you could have easily gotten mixed up with say..Robin?"
"Raven!" Bursted out Starfire in a act of defiance, almost shocked in hearing such words. "Perhaps it is you who is mistaken; it is clear Robin won as he is leader and therefore as a leader he is entitled to win because he is a leader and not second rated" Raven took the message wrongly or personally but given her stare a bit of both as she clashed on.
"You saying I hook up with losers?"
"Well no what I was meant to say is erm"
"Enough please!" Pleaded the games master. "The added few I bring in and you will be quiet till I explain it alll to them the rules of it all"
Suddenly the added few; three shines of light and emerged and transformed to people; two were clearly older, late 20's while one was slightly smaller and near 20 but dressed in odd black clothes and a utility belt Starfire noticed with slight canniness to Robin's. Though the weirdest costume was not the winged masked hawkwoman but her older companion a black haired woman dressed in nothing more than a tube top with gold strumming and absurdly short hotpants with blue background and white stars on. They were confused but the master of games went through the rules and reassurance; once that was through he now introduced them to the others they saw before them.
"Now at last I will speak out in great honour of the fine contestants here; first Starfire; A Tamarian girl with bolt powers with flight and admirable strength-"
"Oh did you hear that oh Raven he said I'm admirable!"
"Sounds like robin has got himself a rival.
"Yeah; no wait not so"
AHEM
"Sorry" Starfire muttered sheepishly; the master of games continued.
"..Followed by her sister Blackfire, an equal to her, only age and experience differs them from each other…"
"Three months is not much of a differ!" Starfire went silent again this time by the strained glare by the master of games.
"..And Raven; sorcerer's of dark and gothic powers, Terra; She can move the earth beneath by mere thought, such is her gift. Next is Jinx, a young and talented woman skilled in Hexies and the curse of ill fortune, followed by the Thangaloan woman; Hawkgirl, a fierce combatant of the Justice league with her comrade wonder woman; princess of the amazons who skill the art of combat. And finally; Batgirl, a young capefighter who aids both batman and robin against crime.."
"Did you just say robin?"
"Good grief" muttered the master to himself as the naïve one spoke out but went straight to batgirl. "Ah please to see the presence that is acknowledged; my name is star-"
"-fire; yes I know hence all this introduction stuff..Not that it's going to be needed; I mean why know the losers?" Snubbed Batgirl; her height was the same as star but her cape and clothes were incredibly dark, so dark that even raven was almost envy in someone having a more darker cape than hers.
"But still I wanted to speak with one who I am friends and most dearly close with; robin!"
"Well maybe your friends with him but with me he's a whole lot more.." Star's eyes lit up now in semi green, she didn't like her attitude and furthermore didn't like what she meant by that. But once more the master intervened.
"Let us begin shall we? You will all be teleported to different locations for battle; Blackfire will fight Wonderwoman, Starfire Versus Batgirl.."
"Good" They both said in unexpected and equally disturbing union of speech.
"Hawkgirl fights Terra and Raven against Jinx; any questions? Good. Good luck to all of you"
"Yeah; you especially raven" Sneered Jinx, Raven gave one last glare before everyone vanished in teleportaion to the destined bouts. They were gone and the master slumped in his chair and relaxed; How girls were more chaotic than boys were beyond him especially as in earth where wars and death were caused by men and boys! But still he looked forward to gaining powers out of the losers and finally the winner herself. He smiled weakly to that as finally everything was set and now in motion.
Let the Games Begin.
