Chapter One:
He was going about his rounds of Jump City. He was dressed in black and wore a black ski mask that hid everything but his bright green eyes. He had what seemed to be a black metal staff. This staff had the capability to change into any weapon he wished it to be. This made him a feared vigilante among street criminals and gangs. His name was Seth. He was known on the streets as Kage.
Jumping from rooftop to rooftop he paused at the sound of gunfire. The bank again? He bolted towards the gunshots. Sure enough, the bank was being held up. Although this time it was by the members of the HIVE. Jinx, Mammoth, Gizmo and some hired thugs ran out of the building. Kage was about to spring into action but he heard someone yell, "Titans! Go!" Robin and the rest of the Titans launched an assault at the members of the HIVE. Kage watched from across the street from a rooftop. He had always admired the Titans. When something big went down he was there to watch the Titans perform a takedown.
Kage watched the fight and it seemed the Titans were struggling. Out of nowhere, Jinx appeared behind Raven and was about to attack. Shit. With a jump, Kage flew into the air and drew his staff. He brought it down on Jinx's head and knocked her out.
Raven turned around, "What the-?"
"Watch out!" Kage yelled. A thug was about to shoot her. Kage's weapon changed into a whip and he snatched to gun from the thug. He then landed a punch to the crook's midsection causing him to double over. He looked back to Raven to see she was busy fighting again. She watched this stranger from the corner of her eye to see he was holding his own.
Kage looked around the street after incapacitating two more thugs. This is going to take forever. "Titans! Cover your mouths!" he yelled. All the Titans, who had not noticed Kage, spun around to look at him. "Do it!" He yelled again. They did. Kage then sprung up into the air and pulled some small metal balls from a pouch on his waist. He threw them at the ground and they exploded, releasing a smokescreen.
Kage landed on the ground and sprung into action. His weapon a staff again, he darted from thug to thug knocking them out. With Mammoth he vaulted onto his back and delivered a swift kick to his neck, causing him to keel over. He simply gave Gizmo a quick chop to his forehead, stunning him. The smoke cleared and the Titans stood open-mouthed at what they saw. Kage stood facing away from them holding his staff over his shoulder.
"Dude! That was amazing!" Beast Boy exclaimed.
Kage turned around and looked at the Titans and laughed at their expressions.
"Who are you?" asked Robin walking toward him.
Kage just stood there. Off in the distance police sirens could be heard.
"I guess you guys can find out another time. See you around," was all that Kage said to the Boy Wonder. With that, he turned and ran off into an alleyway. Within a minute the Titans saw his silhouette running from rooftop to rooftop.
"That guy's good," Cyborg muttered, "I mean, he took out seven guys like that!" He snapped his fingers to make his point.
"Yeah," Robin grunted, "We should get these losers cleaned up." The Titans started to tie up the subdued criminals. Raven however was still watching the rooftops. Kage's figure could still be seen in the distance.
