A/N: Sorry I haven't posted anything in a long time, but I moved and our computer wasn't set up and I was having a huge Writer's Block. Well, here you go.
A/N: This chapter is only very long because I got lucky. Enjoy!
"Who is it?" Robin yelled.
"My brothers," Beast Boy said.
"Hey, BB," Beast Boy's brother's said.
Chapter 2: Welcome
There were two men standing at the door. Both seemed to much older than Beast Boy who was standing in front of the door, gaping in awe.
"Uh, hello?" the red one asked, "Are you gonna let us in or are we just gonna stand here all day?"
"Oh, sorry," Beast Boy said, showing them in, "I'm just, a little surprised that you're here."
There's nothing complicated
About the way we live
We're all here for each other
Happy to give
"Well, we were checking up on the forest around here and we thought we'd give you a visit," the blue one said.
The other titans rushed to the door.
"Beast Boy," Robin said.
"You have brothers?" Cyborg asked.
"Oh..." Beast Boy said, grinning to hide his embarrassment, "Well, yeah."
Proud of who we are
Humble beneath the stars
We've everything we need
The moon, the sun
"Why didn't you tell us this joyous news previously?" Starfire asked.
"Yeah," the red one said, "Why didn't you?"
"I was waiting for the right time," Beast Boy explained.
"I think it's time we introduced ourselves before we get any further," the blue one said.
"I'm Robin, nice to meet you."
"I'm Starfire, pleasure to make your acquaintance."
"I'm Cyborg, nice to meetcha."
"I'm Raven, enough said."
There is more than enough here
For everyone
All we have we share
And all of us we care
"I'm Monster Man," the red one said, "Or just MM. I'm the oldest. I like strength and head to head combat."
"And I'm Creature Cid," the blue one said, "Or just CC. I'm the middle...I hate the middle."
"Ha! Ha!" Monster Man laughed. Creature Cid glared at him and Monster Man stepped away, obviously cowering.
"I like speed, agility, and defense and I like tactics and strategies," Creature Cid said, "When we used to all train together, each of us would win in different things. MM would win in power, I would win in plans, and BB would always be able to make a comeback from behind."
"Well Beast Boy's description fits his battling with us," Robin said.
So come on
Welcome to our family time
Welcome to our brotherly time
We're happy
Giving or taking
With the friends we're making
There's nothing we won't do
"Have you been praying for you-know-what?" Creature Cid asked.
"Well..." Beast boy said, "Not really."
"Then we need to right away!" Monster Man exclaimed.
"Wait a minute," Cyborg said, "what is all this praying stuff?"
"You haven't told them yet?" Monster Man.
"Um..." Beast Boy stammered.
"Haven't told us what?" Starfire asked.
Welcome to our family time
Welcome to our happy to be time
This is a festival
You know a festival
We're here to share it all
"Not that we care," Raven added. The rest of the titans glared at her, "What?"
"Why don't you just come and watch us perform it?" Creature Cid asked.
"I guess that'd work," Robin answered.
There's a bond between us
Nobody can explain
It's a celebration of life
And seeing friends again
I'd be there for you
I know you'd be there for me too
The titans followed Beast Boy and his brothers up to the roof. MM, CC, and BB then formed a triangle and chanted something in low voices. Suddenly, a green beam shot out of Beast Boy, a red beam out of Monster Man, and a blue beam out of Creature Cid. The beams made contact above them, there for forming a triangle. Then the beams shot back and their owner. They seemed to disappear as fast as it came.
So come on
Welcome to our family time
Welcome to our brotherly time
This is a festival
You know a festival
We're here to share it all
"What was that?" the titans exclaimed in unison.
"The ritual of the Nature Triangle," Monster Man said.
"And the Nature Triangle thingy-ma-bob is?" Cyborg asked.
"It's what gives us our powers. If we don't do it at least once every month, out power level goes down," Creature Cid explained.
"Our dad taught it to us before he...died," Beast Boy said. Immediately preceding that, Beast Boy ran to his room.
"Beast Boy?!" Starfire yelled.
Remembering loved ones departed
Someone's near to your heart
Finding love
Planning a future
Telling stories and laughing with friends
Precious moments we'll never forget
"Beast Boy gets a little emotional when it comes to our parents and out sister," Monster Man said.
"Your, sister?" Cyborg asked.
"Yes," Creature Cid said, "I guess I better explain this too. You see, we were in out home forest in Africa, performing our Nature Ritual. All of us, BB, MM, our mother, Rainforest Ranger (RR), our father, Forest Fighter (FF), and our sister, Animal Alice (AA). There are these terrible hunters called 'Nature Killers'. They destroy forest, forest creatures, and worst of all; they steal Nature Guardians' powers."
This has to be
The most beautiful
The most peaceful place
I've ever been to
It's nothing like
I've ever seen before
"So," Starfire asked, "you are all Nature Guardians?"
"Yes," Monster Man said.
"As I was saying," Creature Cid said, "We were performing our ritual and three of them came. Since our power beams were exposed, it made it all the more easier for them. Since they can only carry one power at a time, they stole our fathers, Technique, our mother's, Defense, and our sister's, Agility. Our parents' powers were the only thing keeping them alive at their old age, so they then, well, died."
When I think how far I've come I can't believe it
And yet I see it
And then I see family
I see the way we used to be
"We got our sister and ran, not looking back at the forest in process of being ruined. We put her down in an alley and I went to go get some food. When I came back, Beast Boy told Monster Man about the big letter and would go there and see what he could find. He never came back."
So come on
Welcome to our family time
Welcome to our brotherly time
We're happy
Giving or taking
With the friends we're making
There's nothing we won't do
"Wow," Robin said.
"Sorry for not returning Beast Boy to you," Starfire said.
"Don't worry," Monster Man said, "It actually turned out for the better, more money to buy food and for clothes and things like that."
Welcome to our family time
Welcome to our happy to be time
This is a festival

We're here to share it all
