My Season 4 - VOL. II

A Firma Line

The 4th Teen Titans Fanscript – Fanfic Adaptation

By RavenStar

Author's Note: The plot of "A Firma Line" is as follows: With Jinx now on the team, the Titans' number is even at 6 members. But 6 may not be enough to defeat the new villain OneLine. Can an old friend help to be the unlucky number 7 and tip the balance in the Titans' favor?

NOTE: OneLine is a character made up by me.


ACT THREE

Jump City Bank. The siren was going off inside.

Four policemen disappeared into the bank, guns at the ready. "He's in here! C'mon!"

After they passed, OneLine peeked out from the door frame. "Hee hee, suckers! Money's already gone!" He ran off down the road.

"You know, I've heard of criminals crossing the line, but I don't think I've ever seen the line become the criminal before."

OneLine turned into an exclamation mark, startled. He turned around.

All the Titans were there. Robin and Cyborg were in front - Robin on the right, Cyborg on the left - with Starfire hovering over them. Flanking Cyborg on the left was Jinx, with Raven floating over her. Flanking Robin on the right stood Beast Boy, with Terra on her big chunk of rock over him.

Cyborg grinned. "All bets are you're going down."

"Seven versus one?" asked OneLine. "Odd odds - but I think I'll go ahead and ANTE UP!"

7 edges came whipping through the air at the Titans.

"Titans, separate!" Robin yelled as the edges closed in on them.

They all got out of the way as the edges hit, leaving the edges to only speed into empty air.

"Hey!" whined the villain. "No splitting the deck! I'm supposed to be breaking even!"

Raven flew up. "The only breaking we're going to do-"

"-is to you!" Jinx finished.

"Azarath, Metrion, ZINTHOS!" Raven sent three dark energy grappling hooks this time – their speed tripled with the help of a hex from Jinx - at OneLine.

OneLine escaped them—

—but his escaping turn was greeted by a pummeling of starbolts and rocks from Starfire and Terra - who attacked via closing in on OneLine from both sides, then pulling up and away like the Blue Angels just as it seems they'll collide into each other - and OneLine, too.

"Nice choreography, girls, but I think one of you is out of step!" OneLine ranted.

An edge lashed around Starfire's leg. She instantly slammed into the ground.

"STARFIRE!" Robin hurled three explosive discs at OneLine—

—and OneLine dodged all of them.

"Ooooh! Fireworks! That's a new one! What else ya' got there?"

BLAM! Cyborg's sonic cannon finally connected with OneLine.

However, the villain was quickly up and back in the fight a little faster than expected, forcing Cyborg to retreat.

Beast Boy turned into a peregrine falcon and dove at 200 mph towards OneLine.

OneLine easily sidestepped the attack—

—and Beast Boy landed beak-first with a wooden TWANG-G-G-G, looking like a wooden stake stuck upright in the ground. OneLine quickly wrapped an edge around falcon Beast Boy's legs and took off into the air, dragging Beast Boy behind him.

Beast Boy frantically turned into many types of animals in an effort to escape OneLine's grip. None seemed to work.

Terra was furious. "Oh, you are NOT doing that!"

Flying up in front of OneLine's path, she appeared to be about to collide with him, then nosedived - and behind her came pebbles – tons of pebbles - at machine-gun speed!

The pebble shrapnel tore through OneLine like bullets through tissue paper. OneLine was seemingly shredded to bits. "Yarghhh!"

Beast Boy turned into an eagle and gently landed on Terra's rock slab as she swooped underneath him.

Beast Boy looked at her. "Thanks."

"That's my apology for having you make a ham sandwich for me, BB." Terra grinned.

Beast Boy looked at her again "You don't need to apologize for it."

"But I want to," Terra said.

Beast Boy pointed. "I don't really think we should be having this conversation right NOW!"

"WHOAH!" Terra cried as Beast Boy turns into a turtle, she grabbed him and ducked onto the flat of the slab as some of the pieces of OneLine streaked by like poison arrows from a twisted archer's bow.

Beast Boy's turtle head popped out of his shell, then he turned human after looking around. "Uh," Terra stammered. ""Cowabunga?""

"Dude! That was like so not gnarly, man!" Beast Boy chastised OneLine.

The pieces of OneLine reformed - again. "On the contrary - I thought it was totally radical! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!"

Meanwhile, Starfire picked up Cyborg and chucked him at OneLine. Cyborg fired his sonic cannon as he zipped forward. "Man, at least this guy's ain't got as many tricks as Mumbo!"

"No, but I can do JUMBO!" OneLine explained. PANG-G-G-G! Cyborg crashed into a stretched out OneLine. "AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!" the villain laughed. Cyborg dropped to the ground, caught by Robin, Raven, & Jinx.

"He may not be Mumbo," said Robin, "but he's still got enough tricks up his - sleeves – to catch us off guard."

"Not to mention he's just as annoying…" Raven added.

OneLine dodged another barrage of starbolts from Starfire "Eee heeheehee hah hah!" the villain giggled gleefully

"Look at that! It's a game to him!" Cyborg ranted.

Jinx looked at him like he was stupid. "Uh, Cy? Re-newsflash? It's ALWAYS a game to the villains - remember?"

"Of course it's always a game!" OneLine added. "That's because IT'S JUST SO MUCH FUN!"

Terra, Beast Boy, and Starfire came flying in from the left, caught by Jinx, Raven, and Robin. Beast Boy was seeing lines instead of stars circling above his head, Terra saw bulldozers backing up, and Starfire saw Silkies.

"So...many...lines..." said Beast Boy.

"Want some more to remember?" OneLine asked. "Here!"

FWIPFWIPFWIPFWIP! More edges attacked the Titans.

"Well, we're gonna have to find a way that we can put out his happiness candles once and for all - and soon!" Cyborg noted

"Trying to rain down on my party? HAH!" the villain chattered. "Well, lemme just send back my present!"

The Titans continued to dodge attacks from OneLine.

Jinx mumbled to herself. "Rain...candles...presents...I got it!"

Cyborg looked at her. "What is it with you and candles that always seems to give you an idea?"

Jinx shrugged, then turned to Raven. "Raven, shield us all for a moment!"

Raven nodded. "Can do."

The shield appeared, blocking them from OneLine's edges.

OneLine was a bit upset at this. "Hey! That's not fair! Hey! HEY!"

Jinx and the other Titans huddled in earshot of Raven.

"Okay," said Jinx. "Here's what we're gonna do, guys:" She whispered the rest of the plan. Raven, listening, smirked at one of the suggestions.


5 minutes later, Raven's shield was beginning to break down under the attacks.

"I can't hold him off much longer!" Raven alerted them.

"It's ok, we're ready to go," replied Jinx

Starfire had Cyborg ready to throw, and Beast Boy was on Terra's slab, ready to attack. Raven's shield crackled.

Cyborg sighed. "Here goes nothin.'"

KIRICK-KOW! The shield collapsed.

Instantly, Starfire tossed Cyborg and Terra rocketed forward. Both were sped up with some help from a hex of Jinx's doing.

"Whoah!" OneLine, unprepared for such a rapid retaliation, dove down—

—where Robin had his freeze discs ready and waiting. He threw them at OneLine - and they all hit the villain!

OneLine was now a frozen line in mid-air, falling. But before he hit the ground, Raven held his frozen prison up with her powers so it didn't hit the ground and break.

FOOMFOOMFOOMFOOMFOOMFOOMFOOM! Terra surrounded the ice prison with a border of rocks. Then the whole thing was topped off and the rocks were completely sealed together by Starfire - and finally, it was waterproofed with a few hexes from Jinx.

The stone jail cell of OneLine's clanked to the ground after Raven released it from her grasp.

Terra looked at it.

"Now that's a Jailhouse Rock."

All the Titans look at her - then cracked up with laughter.


That night, the city's lights bathed the Tower in a beautiful golden hue.


Inside the Tower, Robin, Cyborg, Raven, and Jinx wre on the couch. Raven and Jinx were back at reading the book they were reading earlier.

"So, all the money OneLine stole was recovered and all of it returned to the owners' account at the Bank," Robin said, satisfied.

"So, everyone's gonna be able to balance their checkbook this year after all?" asked Cyborg.

Raven looked up. "If they spend their money wisely."

She went right back to reading the book with Jinx.

At the kitchen, Beast Boy was cooking. Terra and Silkie waited in anticipation. Silkie had a bib around his neck.

"Ta-daa! Finished!" Beast Boy said, turning around.

He put the two plates in front of the waiting patrons.

Terra and Silkie chowed down. Beast Boy waited in anticipation.

"Hey," Terra remarked, "this is actually pretty good."

"Sooo...you like it?" Beast Boy asked.

Silkie suddenly SPIT all the food back out. It landed on Beast Boy with a SPLAT. He grumbled as he dries off.

Terra looked at Beast Boy.

"Well, I love it, BB. Just like you—"

She leaned over the table & kissed him. He smiled in return.

THE END


EPILOGUE (Bonus scene not in the fanscript version)

Jinx woke up in the middle of the night , thirsty and also needing to go the bathroom. She got up slowly, as not to disturb Raven.

Outside in the hallway, she went into the bathroom and turned on the light.

Something on the mirror made her jump. She ripped off a piece of paper - apparently the item that was on the mirror - and pocketed it.

"That's not true..." she said to herself, and closed the bathroom door. "But, this is dated two days ago…" she continued, muffled by the door.

Nothing else was heard for the remainder.

Soon, the door opened and Jinx sauntered back down the hallway to her and Raven's room.

Once back in the room, she silently closed the door and slipped back into her bed.

END VOL. II


Thus ends the adaptation of my one-part 4th fanscript entitled "A Firma Line." Up next is the last volume of this project, the adaptation of my 6-part 6th fanscript, "Reunion," which is my version of the Terror of Trigon arc. (i.e., it's my version of "The End," for all you people who don't know the 80's comics.) Stay tuned, the Cold Opening of "Reunion, Part 1" is coming soon.
