Chapter 1: Introductions of Two
"And once again, the day is saved, thanks to the Rainbow Monkeys!" The tv switched off, and a girl dressed in a baggy green sweatshirt cheered.
"Yay! Thanks for watching with me, Numbah 5!" She exclaimed, attempting to hug her friend.
"No problem Numbah 3. But what was with the bad guy?" Numbah 5 asked. Kuki (Numbah 3) just shrugged.
"They seem to be getting darker and darker. And purple Rainbow Monkey nearly died!" Numbah 5 made note of the colors. Blue, orange, red, green, and purple. Why were they so important? She didn't know, but she would find out soon.
Later... In her room..
Numbah 5 sighed, and punched her pillow. It blew up and she was covered in feathers. What was with that show? It was just the norm for Kuki, but something didn't seem right. Five adjusted her alarm clock for an early time, and gradually laid underneath the soft covers. She slept uneasily that night.
Next day: In the Treehouse...
"Now, our mission is to report Numbah 1234586.... something for decomissioning. Her birthday is tomorrow." Numbah 1 told his team. Numbah 2 gave a silent cry, that Numbah was one of his best friends. Numbah 4 snorted.
"That isn't all, I can tell." He said rudely, stomping his foot on the ground. As it was wood it cracked and revealed a nice big view of the ground below. "Uh... Whoops." Numbah 1 shook his head and his dark sunglasses bobbed up and down with the movement. Numbah 5 leaned on the table, Numbah 3 just sighed. Not another daring mission. Last time was bad enough.
FlashBack
"Let go you stinking toad!" Numbah 4 cried, twisting in the grown man's arms. He watched in horror as Numbah 5 was thrown into the cement wall. She fell into a heap, her red visor dangled an inch above the ground. Numbah 2 saw this, and ran towards her. But he was struck down by a flashing light.
"But why would I? You can't stop us." The guy whispered softly. Numbah 4 trembled as he was lifted higher into the air. He glared face to face with his captor. He realized the man only had one eye. He heard a crash, and the man swung him around in amusement. Numbah 1 slouched down next to Numbah 5, breathing heavily. Two ice cream robots strode forward for the kill. Everything was about to end. Numbah 4 hung limply in the man's grip, he knew that his friends would be no more. Suddenly...
"Monkey Power!" A young girl yelled, slamming her foot into his captor's back. The man screamed and let go of Numbah 4, who dove forward just as the man fell. He strained in the darkness to see his savior. His mouth opened in shock. Kuki? He was deeply confused. He had seen her die, he was there. He remembered sobbing uncontrollably, holding her limp form in his arms. She just smiled at him and gave a cheer. "Hi!" She said happily, dancing towards the two robots. She jumped forward and gave them a hug. They shattered at her touch. Numbah 1 was unconsious, as along with the others, so none saw it happen.
"But I thought you were.. were..." Numbah 4 murmered, walking towards her. She wasn't wearing green, it was a navy blue sweatshirt instead. Highly unusual as it was, he didn't care for her looks.
"Dead?" She finished, serious for once in her life. She finished his walking torment by jumping towards him, landing gracefully to his left. He had tears in his eyes.
"But how?" He mumbled. Kuki pressed a finger on his lips, silencing him.
"The Dark Bird." was all she said. The dark bird. What was that? But Four daren't question her, and gathered his friends. He lifted them into the M.O.S.Q.U.I.T.O transport, and took the controls. Kuki sat beside him, watching him with keen interest. There was a celebration once everyone revived, but none forgot that day.
End Flashback
"This time, it's bad." Numbah 1 said, pressing a nearby button. A screen popped up behind him, revealing a dark purple portal. He pointed at the black center. "The Delightful Children from Down the Lane are planning something. We must find out soon, before it goes to their advantage." The screen went blank and disappeared.
"I'll get the R.O.P.E.S ready!" Numbah 2 exclaimed, running off to the supply room. The others waited for him to return, each face set with determination and fear.
Few Minutes Later....
"There's our target." Numbah 1 reported, pointing to a huge mansion, at least 6 floors high. Numbah 4 was about to say, "Well No Duh." but decided against it. They threw up their R.O.P.E.S (well, it is just a hookshot, but they wanted it to be fancy, ya know?) and were thrust forwards as the tips of their hookshots made contact with the wall. They each crashed into the same window, and rolled into army position as quickly as they recovered. They stared about their surroundings. It was the bathroom.
"Wrong window..." Numbah 2 muttered, embarassed. They opened the door, revealing a huge grand living room beyond. Each held their gumball weapons at the ready.
"Well well well... If it isn't the Kids Next Door." 5 children croned, obviously annoyed.
"What are you planning, Delightful Children." Numbah 1 ordered, nodded towards the vortex beyond them. Before any of the 5 could answer Numbah 1's team moved forwards in offensive. They shot gumballs at their archenemy, only to hit the vases and surrounding plants.
"Not those!" The delightful children gasped as a picture of George Washington was shot to oblivion, turning dark red. They grew angry at the KND and took offense off their opponents. Soon both teams were wrestling in front of the vortex, until one raised victorious.
"Next time, don't break into our house!" And the Delightful Children shoved our mighty KND into the vortex, which emitted an earsplitting crash as it disappeared.
"What's going on in there?" A distant female voice called.
"Nothing Mom." They replied roboticly.
In an abandoned Warehouse...
'Titans, Go!" Robin shouted his battle cry, and his team took action. It was just the normal villian, who called himself Flame due to his fire powers. Beast Boy, Starfire, and Cyborg struck home, blasting their sonic cannons, starbolts, and just about anything the green changling could think of at the firebreather. It did nothing, and Flame threw fireballs back at them, each taking a direct hit. They all hit the ground with a hard THUD. Robin was blasted backwards from a firebeam, scorching his outfit to cinders. All could see his mighty six pack showing. (Ha ha ha..) Flame smirked and returned to burning all advanced, and VERY expensive, techonology.
"Must you destroy, Flame?" A mystic monotone voice echoed. Flame stopped blasting and glanced about his surroundings. The titans had disappeared, though they didn't seem to be able to move before.
"Oh yes. Now that I have your attention, prehaps you may reconsider." The voice spoke again. Flame listened to the voice, it seemed calm and trustworthy.
"I may, but I wish to see whom I speak to." Flame replied, his rough voice echoing throughout the warehouse. He thought how stupid he must sound.
"If you wish." A dark shadow swept up from the ground, in raven form. It's eyes blazed white, and gave a loud caw before reverting back into original form. A girl no older than 15 stood there, her violet eyes revealed behind her cape of shadow. The navy blue cloak covered up her features, but Flame could already guess that she was perfect.
"You are impressive." He remarked, giving her a sharp grin.
"Why must you destroy?" The girl, Raven, skipped right to the point. His eyes flashed in amusement.
"Why aren't you the charmer. Well now..." he began thinking, and then stopped at a conclusion. "I destroy because I must. The will of fire commands it. How can fire help? It can only destroy." Raven shook her head, men could be so stupid sometimes.
"You could come with me, and I'll teach you." She replied calmly. She stretched out a hand. Her senses were not aware of the danger behind her. A blinding light ensued, and she was struck down, unconsious. Flame witnessed in fear as she was picked up by a strange, armored man. Only one eye could be seen.
"Well well, Raven, we meet again." An eerie voice spoke. Flame, engrossed with anger, shot a fireball at the man, who was not aware at the time of Flame. He was struck with full force, releashing Raven as he fell backwards. Flame caught Raven, who woke dizzily at his touch. Her eyes remained unfocused, the shock of the force had removed her sight for the moment.
"She is mine. Either give her to me quietly or someone's going to get hurt." The armored man jumped up and rushed towards Flame. A bright blue beam struck him before he could reach the pair.
"Not today Slade." Cyborg murmered. He gave a quick glance at Raven and Flame. "Get her outta here! Bring it on boogie man!" And Cyborg began hand to hand combat with Slade. Flame rushed out and was ambushed by the 3 remaining titans.
"Let her go!" Beast Boy, the green changling growled. He changed into a gorilla and came pounding towards Flame, his lengthy fist coming ever closer.
"You don't understand. I'm helping!" Flame exclaimed as he dodged the attack and countered with a parry one. Starfire shot a starbolt, and Flame produced a firey shield, deflecting the ball of energy. Robin grunted, he hadn't made a move. Was the guy really helping, or was he kidnapping Raven?
"He is helping." A voice weakly announced. Raven was using her telepathic powers to speak to them. She said no more, and her body gave a reluctant sigh. A big silence resumed, the 4 staring at each other in alarm and bewilderment.
"We must hurry! She needs help." Flame finally said, breaking the silence.
"To the tower! Starfire, carry Raven. Beast Boy, Flame, come with me!" Robin ordered. Flame carefully handed over Raven, her cloak slithering through his arms. He felt hope surging from it. Starfire gasped as Raven's dull eyes fluttered open, and with renewed confidence flew into the night sky.
At the Tower..
"Raven, please.... You must rest. That blast has reduced your sight to nothing for now. There is nothing wrong.." Starfire pleaded, trying to restrain her friend on the white bed.
"A force that I've never felt before is coming, and we must hurry!" Raven would only reply. She soon got fustrated with Starfire and pushed her off with her black powers. She didn't even need to chant, and dizzily she used her senses to find the source. With a heavy sigh Star set after her floating friend, aware that the tower seemed to be getting steadily darker. Then..
"We're home!" Cyborg yelled in confidence. Slade had gotten away, but the boys were still proud of themselves. Flame slowly fell in step behind them, but all paused as they saw Raven floating before the giant screen television they owned. Starfire panted, and leaned on the frame of the doorway, and watched also. A giant vortex revealed ahead of Raven. Raven sensed the energy wouldn't hold and began to chant.
"Azarath.. Metrion.. Zinthos.. Azarath... Metrion... Zinthos!" a crackling shot of energy lashed out to Raven, striking her into the wall. The team would of rushed to Rae's side instantly, had the sound of whailing not stopped them. All attention ensued to the vortex, which still held Raven's energy with it. Raven even watched through her glowing white eyes.
"Ahhhhhh!!!!!!" Screams of a group could be heard coming nearer now. Then a blinding light erupted, and the warp disappeared. The KND had arrived.
Author's Note:
So how was that for a first chapter! Not too shabby, I think, as I've only seen two episodes of KND....
