Thanks to all who reviewed! I really appreciate it.
Hekatie: I loved the new chapter of "HIVE School"! Thanks!
Dragon: Thanks for reviewing even though you've already read the chapter (I don't think I should have said that).
Crystal Sapphire: Actually, it's both. That makes sense, seeing as Spanish is a Romantic language (based off Latin), so some of the words would be the same.
Winged-Raccoon-The-Dragon: Yes, those were going to be the names, but when I looked up the words in my handy-dandy Latin Dictionary (you'll have to excuse me, I was sick most of this week, and I was watching "Blues Clues"), that's not what they were. Plus I like to mix it up a little.
Hanyo-girl: Yes, I am a Harry Potter fan, sort of.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything that has to do with Teen Titans. Aqua is of my own creation though.

Teen Titans: Search for the Elementals
Chapter 3:
The Battle Begins
"That's impossible," said Beast Boy, "Slade is dead, I saw him fall into a pit of lava."
"No," said Aqua, "you're wrong. That was a robot created by Slade. He made it just incase Terra got out of control.
"And how do you know this," asked Robin.
"He told Doc when he called him and threatened him to hand over the Elementals. Doc had heard that Slade had died, and he told him so, but Slade gave him proof enough to convince Doc it was really him," responded Aqua.
"And what was the proof," Raven asked her.
"Doc never said, but as soon as Slade gave it to him, he almost passed out from fear and surprise. Doc told Slade all the Elementals had escaped. As soon as he got off the phone with him he told me I had to leave and find the others," she answered. Before any more questions could be asked, the alert sirens went off and pulled the group away from the interrogation and towards the information computer. Robin looked at the screen blankly for a second.
"Slade," he said finally. Everyone turned to look at Aqua, who in turn, shrugged back in a sort of "told you so" manner. The team headed for the door to go battle one of their greatest foes. As they were leaving they noticed Aqua wasn't following them. "Are you coming," Robin asked her. She nodded and followed them out the door.
TTT
The team arrived at the location where Slade was supposed to be. They didn't see anyone around except for your everyday city pedestrians. They were just about to think the computer had malfunctioned when Starfire finally saw Slade.
"There," she shouted, launching a starbolt at him. He of course heard her shout and jumped out of the way and down into the manhole that was a couple of feet away. The Titans quickly followed him down into the dank sewer system.
Once inside they encountered a large group of Slade's robots, the kinds that look like people, and standing right in front of them was Slade himself. For a moment, everything was still. Then, the battle began. The robots surrounded the Titans, who all took off in different directions laying waste to as many robots as possible as they went. Aqua blasted several robots at once with a large stream of water to clear a path to follow Slade, who had run off when the battle began.
She began to throw orbs of water at his back as she ran after him down the sewer pipes. Finally she hit him on the back, making him lose his balance and fall forward into the grime. He was slow to rise as Aqua approached him. When she got close to him, she bent down to see if he was conscious. Suddenly, he rolled over onto his back and kicked her hard in the stomach, knocking her to the ground.
"You are very powerful Aqua," Slade said in his smooth monotone voice, "you could be great. Join me, and we could rule the world."
"Sorry, but I'm not interested," said Aqua as she blasted a stream of water at him. This caught him by surprise and hit him square in the chest, throwing him into the wall.
"You will pay dearly for that," he shouted, launching himself at her. This time she was ready, and blocked the blow. A hand-to-hand battle then ensued, but it was obvious Slade would wine because Aqua was tiring fast. Her blocks became more sluggish, and Slade started landing more blows. Aqua finally collapsed from the pain and exhaustion. Slade picked he up so he could take her back to his lair and fit her with a neural-transmitter suit like the one Terra had worn. Except this time, he thought, it will have to be stronger.
As her started towards his lair, heard footsteps behind him. He began to quicken his pace hoping he could lose whoever was following him in the labyrinth of pipes that was Jump City's sewer system. The footsteps behind him quickened to a sprinting pace. There was more than one person following him, he realized. The girl's body was weighing him down, and he had to escape. He had a big decision to make: leave the girl and surely escape, or keep the girl and her power and lessen his chances? He chose the first, figuring he would get her back sometime or another.
He dropped her body and ran. A couple of seconds later, the Titans discovered Aqua lying in the middle of the sewer, unconscious, and most likely suffering from a least one broken bon. Cyborg picked up her limp body as the rest of the Titans searched for Slade with no avail. They then returned to the Tower to discuss what should be done.
Well that's that. Next chapter we get to meet Ventus! Yay! PLEASE REVIEW!
