My Season 4 - VOL. I

Abashed Enchanters, Part 1

The 2nd Teen Titans Fanscript – Fanfic Adaptation

By RavenStar

Author's Note: The plot for Abashed Enchanters is as follows: Jinx defects to the Titans, quickly quelling thoughts that she's trying to subvert them, and soon becomes a powerful new addition and friend to the group. But when an unexpected attraction starts forming between her and Raven, both girls find themselves confused over their feelings and emotions - and Cyborg finds himself needing a more efficient circuit breaker for his jealousy fuse.


ACT TWO

Gizmo and Mammoth advanced into the room - Starfire and Raven the barrier between them and the still-handcuffed Jinx.

"We've come for the traitor!" Gizmo's voice was as nasal and annoying as ever.

"I told you, I left." Jinx's voice did not waver.

Mammoth advanced some more. "You don't leave."

"You can't leave," Gizmo followed suit.

Jinx continued. "It's over. I'm not with you anymore."

"NO! You can't be with us, you can't be with anyone else, ya frazzin' witch!" Gizmo screamed.

Starfire, having heard enough of this banter, offered up her opinion. "If you wish to harm her, you shall have to get by us first!"

Mammoth grinned. "Fair enough. RRAH!"

He sent Starfire crashing into the side wall with one punch. He lunged at Raven, but she flew up and out of the way, leaving Jinx exposed. Mammoth immediately went for Jinx, but Raven quickly blocked him by wrapping dark energy around Gizmo's spider suit and sending it and Gizmo smashing into the brute's side, putting the two villains out of commission for a short while - enough for Starfire to recover. Raven and Jinx - to the best of her ability, with the handcuffs and all - pulled the Tamaranean back up onto her feet.

On the wall behind them, the shadow of Gizmo's spider suit rose slowly and quietly, like a shroud of silent doom. A leg readied to take a swipe at Jinx.

BLAM! The just arrived Cyborg's sonic cannon played the Orkin man to Gizmo's cyber-arachnid, sending the imp flying out the busted door. "WAEAHHH!" Gizmo's wail seemed even funnier to Cyborg when it had a Doppler effect.

"The calvary has arrived!" Cyborg exclaimed.

Mammoth, getting up, watched Gizmo sail by him, then turned and charged at Raven—

--only to himself be caught off guard by Beast Boy - as a horse, who careened into him and carried the hairy villain into the opposite wall from where he had sent Starfire a moment earlier.

Beast Boy turned back to human afterwards. "Don't you guys ever knock?"

"Actually, no, they kinda don't," Cyborg proclaimed. "Bargin' in's more their style."

"Our specialty, actually. HURH!" Mammoth swiftly turned and delivered a vicious uppercut to Beast Boy's chin that connected with a solid yet juicy THWACK! Raven SWOOPED up and caught Beast Boy just in the nick of time as the changeling nearly went through the window.

"Thanks," gasped a relieved Beast Boy.

Then he got an idea.

"Hey, why don't you-" He whispered the rest in Raven's ear.

Apparently liking his plan, Raven nodded with a – giggle? Still in the air, she turned around, and Beast Boy appeared to disappear. Then she whipped around and dove right at Mammoth. He tried to catch her, but she pulled up at the last moment, escaping the bad guy's snatching hands. "Hey! Get back here!" Mammoth yelled. However, unbeknownst to him, he had caught something. He discovered so when a stinging pain caused him to jerk forward like he'd been hit. His eyes bugged, and he shrieked in the highest pitch - one heck of a girlie scream. Beast Boy had become a horsefly and was now biting Mammoth everywhere. Mammoth flaied his arms and ran around. "Owowowow! Hey! What the-ow! Cut it-ow!"

Gizmo looked more than a little annoyed as Mammoth ran past him. "Hey! Get back here, Ape-Face! I'm not fighting all of them at once - alone!" He ran after him.

"Nah, man, let the big horse FLY!" Cyborg called out after him. He and Jinx collapsed in laughter.

Raven and Robin were amused by the joke, but only enough to halfheartedly giggle.

Starfire, meanwhile, was stumped. "I do not get it." Robin whispered the punchline to Starfire. It didn't help. "I still do not get it."

"That's because it wasn't that funny, Starfire," Raven chimed in.

"No, it's because I wasn't the one who said it!" a familiar voice said behind them. The Titans turned. Beast Boy had escaped unharmed.

Raven rolled her eyes. "Yeah. That's the reason," she responded, utterly deadpan.

They all walked outside, including Jinx.

"Are they off the island yet, Beast Boy?" Robin asked

Raven suddenly shielded everyone from an incoming series of explosions that had the effect of answering Robin's question for itself.

"Nope," Mammoth added.

"Still right here, scuzz-for-brains!" Gizmo snarled. "Now turn over the traitor!"

"On what grounds?" Cyborg asked.

"She betrayed us!" Gizmo screamed, irritated.

"So you want her back?" Beast Boy snapped.

"Hey, cram it, Greenskin!" Gizmo vented. "You're the one to talk, whinin' about your little rock girlfriend!"

That was a nerve.

In a flash, Beast Boy was upon the pint-sized villain, not even needing to change into an animal his rage was so much. "YOU TAKE THAT BACK!" he exploded. "TERRA HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS! LEAVE HER OUT OF IT!"

"Ow! Ow! Ow! OWW!" Gizmo kept trying to reach for his gadgets, but every time he did, Beast Boy – who had a seriously tight grip on his arms - started to change into a clawed animal, which the resulting faces of Gizmo showed to be not very fun.

"Beast Boy!" Robin cried.

Beast Boy ignored it. "YOU TAKE THAT BACK!" he roared at Gizmo. "TAKE IT B-OOF!"

Mammoth blindsided him.

That was a bad move.

Beast Boy turned into the Tamaranean animal from when the Titans had had their second brush-up with Starfire's sister, and steamrolled Mammoth like a train over Wile E. Coyote.

Mammoth peeled himself off the ground and continued fighting - against Robin and Starfire, who had just moved in. Having gotten his anger out, Beast Boy took a moment to rest, calm himself down, and regain himself. Meanwhile:

BLAM! Cyborg ran by BB, and while his sonic cannon did a good tracing job, he failed to actually hit Gizmo – who was now flying around out of reach on his metallic wings.

"Hah! Nice shootin', Tex-Bot!" Gizmo taunted—

—instantly slamming into Titans Tower with a loud SMACK!

"At least I was lookin' at my target!" Cyborg retaliated as Gizmo slid down the slick Tower wall.

Not far away, Mammoth plowed through Robin before Robin could get set with his attack. Starfire hurled some starbolts at Mammoth to keep him away until Robin could get up.

Then Mammoth decided it wasn't worth it - and headed for Jinx.

Jinx was pretty scared - Starfire, Robin, and Cyborg were too far away to catch up fast enough even at their fastest speed, and the rest of the Titans were occupied - Beast Boy and Raven were fighting the recovered Gizmo. Jinx suddenly slipped and fell backwards as she backed away from the incoming Mammoth. She hurled hexes at him the best she could, but they either had no effect or missed. The handcuffs were not helping matters. "RAVEN! CYBORG! HELP ME!" she screamed as Mammoth closed in.

Raven's head flung around at Jinx's cry.

"I got him!" Beast Boy told Raven as he grappled Gizmo's weaponry.

A blast of dark energy sent Mammoth soaring over Jinx just as he reached her. Raven rushed over to Jinx's side. "Did he hurt you?"

"No." Jinx smiled warmly at Raven. "Thank you."

She didn't know why, but Raven felt soothed by that smile…

Cyborg ran up. "You okay, Jinx?"

"I'm fine. Raven stopped him right before he got to me."

"Oh, we're gonna get to you, traitor." Mammoth stood up. "It's just a matter of time."

"Cyborg," Raven said, "I'll stay here and protect Jinx. You stop Mammoth."

"Wait - what? No!" Cyborg seemed surprised. "Why do I gotta fight him and you stay here?"

Raven shielded them from a flying chunk of door. "I can protect her better, and you know his fighting style better than I do!"

"What fighting style? He just smashes everything in front of him!" Cyborg shot back.

At which point Mammoth collided into him from the side.

The huge brute sneered. "Ain't got much of a choice now, do ya?"

"Nope," Cyborg said, "it looks like I DON'T!" This time, his sonic cannon connected squarely in Mammoth's chest. Mammoth rocketed backwards - right into the swinging tail of a green ankylosaurus.

The impact sent the massive villain into the water at the edge of the island.

Beast Boy reverted back to human as Mammoth hit the water with a SPLASH!

"Stee-rike! He's outta there!" Beast Boy celebrated.

Cyborg high-fived him. "Booyah! Grand slam!"

"Uh, guys?" Raven chirped. "Where's Gizmo?"

Suddenly, Jinx screamed. Raven whirled around.

Gizmo had combined his metal wings and spider suit, had scooped up Jinx, and was now carrying her away. Cyborg gasped. "The handcuffs! Jinx!"

"Thanks for the traitor, stinkwads!" Gizmo cackled as he flew off.
