Chapter 11: J.T.'s Big Ad-Lib
As the airship leveled out at 10,000 feet, the guards headed over to J.T. and Terra's cell.
"So what's the boss want with these two brats anyway?" One of the guards asked.
"Who knows? But you know the boss. It's better to not ask questions," a second guard replied.
J.T., keen on hearing because of his bad eyesight, heard the guards coming.
"Quick, we have to hide," J.T. whispered to Terra.
"But where?" Terra asked. "There's almost no room to hide!"
"Against the door, quick," J.T. commanded. J.T. and Terra hopped up over the doorway and hid. The guards came and opened the cell door.
"What?! Where are they?" the first guard yelled.
"What the--?! They're gone! Oh man, Brother Blood's gonna have our heads on a plate," the second guard added.
Just then, the guards entered the cell. J.T. and Terra dropped in on them and knocked them unconscious. Then, J.T. stole their outfits and J.T. and Terra assumed their 'roles' as two of Blood's guards.
"What about my hair?" Terra asked.
"Tuck it under the hat," J.T. replied. "Hey thanks for the outfits guys. Remind me not to kill you later."
"Come on, let's get going," Terra retorted.
"I need to find my sword. Maybe there's some room where they keep things they steal," J.T. responded.
"There is," Terra replied. "There's something like an evidence locker on this level. That way."
J.T. and Terra headed down to the confiscation locker, being sure to keep out of the way of the guards. When there, they came upon a new problem: a lock on the locker.
"Ok, NOW what," Terra asked.
"Leave it to me," J.T. responded. He took out a dagger from a holder on his leg and sliced the lock."
"Why didn't we do that when we were back in the cell?"
"Because the guards would've busted us and stolen my daggers. I didn't want that to happen."
"Wait a minute. Daggers? Plural?"
"Yeah. You want 'em? After I get my sword, I'll have my weapon. Doesn't hurt to have a backup weapon, you know.
"Well, okay."
"Remember, I'm lending them to you. You can't keep them."
Anyway, J.T. found his sword and sheathed it. He handed his daggers to Terra, who put the daggers in her pockets, and the two headed to the bridge.
"Wait, J.T. You gave me something as a backup, so I should do the same thing. Here." Terra handed J.T. a few rocks. "If I get into trouble like I did earlier, toss one of these and I'll use it to break free."
------------------Meanwhile----------------------
Robin and the others were back at Titans' Tower, primed to go back to Brother Blood's airship.
"All right, so that idea didn't work, but now we're guaranteed to get up there," said Robin.
"We would've been up there by now if Raven hadn't missed," Cyborg stated.
"You can't account for human error," Raven replied, very pissed off.
"I'm with Raven. If she couldn't do it, she couldn't do it! She's got limits too, Cy," Beast Boy retorted.
"Please, do not begin the mean-talking now. We must concentrate on capturing the Brother Blood and rescuing Terra and J.T. Blade," Starfire interjected.
"Starfire's right. Now's not the time to be arguing like morons. Let's just get up there and rescue the others," Aqualad added.
--------------------Elsewhere, and a lot Quieter-------------------
J.T. and Terra were making their way to the bridge until the radio that J.T. stole from the guards started going off! They were fortunate that there were no other guards around.
"This is Brother Blood. What is the status of the prisoners?" Blood's voice rang out over the radio.
"Let me handle this, Terra," J.T. requested. "Uh, we're having a little trouble with the prisoners, sir. Could you come give us some help?" J.T. asked, trying to impersonate the guard.
"Very well. I was going to kill those two when you got them there, anyhow. I'll meet you in the escape pod bay on the fifth level, right side of the ship. Blood out." Blood replied.
"Alright, sir. Over and out." J.T. turned off the radio and turned to Terra. "This is our chance to ambush Brother Blood. Where's the nearest staircase or way upstairs, Terra?" J.T. asked.
"There should be a staircase in the next room," Terra replied.
"Good, let's go."
J.T. and Terra headed up to the escape pod bay. Using some scrap, they made two dummies and put the guard clothes on the dummies. Then, they hid behind an escape craft.
"So now what?" Terra asked.
"We wait out Blood. Plus, I learned how to throw my voice. I'll use that and draw Blood over here, and then we'll ambush him," J.T. replied.
"Is there anything you can't do?"
"Well, I can't cook, if that's what you mean."
Just then, Brother Blood entered the room.
