Chapter 3: Capture

Location: Time Fluxuation: Gotham city

A Dodrando army transport cruiser pushed through the energy barrier that separated the time fluxuation from reality. "Sensors indicate that the last creature to enter this area occurred approximately 45 minutes prior to our arrival sir." The commander said.

"For the last time…I'm RETIRED. You don't have to call me sir." David said. He dropped the subject and looked out the window. "So where do we start?" He asked. No sooner had he finished that an entire half of a T shaped tower below them was blown off. "I should ask more often." David ran to the exit hatch. "Aileta…cover me." Aileta nodded and drew her trusty disc. David jumped out of the ship and spread his wings wide.

"HAHAHA, not even the incredible Teen Titans can defeat me!" Ollran mocked.

"You have destroyed our home, but you will cause no more harm to anyone!" Starfire yelled. She launched a volley of star bolts at the freak. But Ollran countered with two energy shields from his forearms.

"Dude! How did you do that?" Cyborg said in awe.

"All I did was convert the energy from my secondary power fusers to my wrist blades, and intensified the power radius to…what the hell am I telling you for?" Ollran said as he stopped his bragging.

"Gee I guess I just noticed that too."

"All right then…" And with that, a strong uppercut knocked Cyborg was knocked away. "Take this!" Ollran said as he launched 2 missiles form his enormous back cannons. They would have caused serious damage if a shadow hadn't cut them off.

"Thanks Raven." Cyborg said.

"Don't mention it. Azerath Metrion Zinthos!" Raven chanted. Jagged points of rubble went hurtling for Ollran. But he dashed between them and in a flash Ollran had gotten behind Raven, and kicked her to the ground.

"Let's get this over with." Ollran said as he pulled out a strange gem. "I only came here because your powers interest my master. This gem will absorb those powers. Will it kill you…I can only hope!" He explained. A column of light shot out of the crystal and landed on Raven.

"You bastard!" A voice behind him said, and before the light could take effect. Ollran turned around to see…he didn't get to see when the top of his head was knocked to the ground.

"AAHHH! My skull!" He yelled as he clutched his head.

"Really Ollran, I expected you to learn form your mistakes." David said as he watched the freak yell in pain.

"Who are you?" Beast Boy asked.

"No time now, we need to finish him off now." David said. Ollran slowly got to his feet. When he opened his eyes, David's sword was pointed at his long neck.

"How-how is it possible? I saw you die myself. No one has ever taken a dosage of Phazon radiation even close to that…and live." The other titans didn't have a clue what he was talking about. "But I'd be happy to do it again." Ollran quickly knocked David's sword away from him with his wrist blades. As they clashed their weapons together, David realized that Ollran was stronger this time around, but why? Ollran slowly began to back David to the edge of the tower. Soon his feet stopped at the edge of the tower, balancing precariously. They came to a dead-lock. Neither could push harder, but David was slowly slipping, his tail was the only thing letting him keep his balance.

"David duck!" A voice behind him said. David dropped his head, and Ollran got a mouthful of Metroid disc. He flew 10 feet straight back. Ollran looked up to see Aileta in hanging out the side door of the Dodrando army vessel, she winked at him. Ollran growled in frustration.

"You think you're so clever don't you? Well you don't have to be smart to be effective!" He said as he pelted a piece of rubble for David's chest. It hit dead on and he flew out the window and plummeted. "Ha what do you sat to that?" David floated back up to the window, wings spread wide.

"Are you that stupid?" Ollran sat there dumbstruck. "That's a yes." Robin ran up and grabbed Ollran by the neck.

"All right, who are you, who are you working for, and what are you really hiding under that helmet?" He said as he pried off the iron, bird-shaped cover. Beneath it was a matrix of circuits and microchips. 'How many times has that happened to me?'

"Wait…Ollrans a living creature…right?" David asked as he turned to Aileta.

"Very good David. You are as clever now as you were not so long ago." Ollran said as he stepped from the shadows. "But you have put me in a situation that has persuaded me that I am currently fighting out of my league." A long cable shot out of one of his cannons and wrapped around Starfire. It quickly dragged her back in and pinned her against the large blaster cannon/rockets. "She's coming with me." Ollran tossed David a small cube. "Cherish that with your life. That's a THI, or Timing Holographic Imager. In one hour of its activation it will display a holographic image of my location. Come if you ever want to see her alive again."

"Put me down you Narfolding Borback, Staffle Berder!" Starfire yelled. Ollran shot her a glance.

"Hey, not even I use that language young lady." He scolded.

"That dude can understand her!" Beast Boy said shocked. Ollran pushed a button on his remote bracelet. The counter on the cube flashed and began to countdown.

1:00:00…59:59…59:58

"Starfire you might want to tuck in your feet." Ollran warned. The engines on the bottom of his cannons ignited. "One more thing. Say goodbye to Titans Tower!" Ollran shot a bomb out of the one cannon. The detonator fell down a hole and exploded. The tower began to collapse as Ollran flew out.

"Let's get out of here!" David yelled. Beast boy carried Cyborg, Raven carried Robin, and David could hold his own. The 5 flew out of the tower before it slammed into the ocean. David looked over his shoulder, Ollran was gone.
