'Earth… I can't believe this planet is actually Earth. It… seems to serene!'

The realization that he had landed on Earth was the only thought circulating through Katatz's mind as he found himself a part of an invited luncheon with the Teen Titans. And to think that all he had to do was defeat a bank robber with power over stench in order to make himself known the Titans. Well, actually, he didn't know that. A little thing called "having only been on Earth for ten minutes" has a way of taking it's toll on just about any alien. But Katatz was willing to learn, and it appeared that Robin was willing to explain.

The Titans, along with their guest, were at the pizza parlor. But the serenity that Katatz had perceived so far on Earth was interrupted by a loud argument.

"Dude! I'm not eating meat!" Beast Boy exclaimed.

"Aww come on, BB," Cyborg instigated, "You can transform into animals, so you should know how delicious they are on pizza!"

"No meat!" Beast Boy repeated himself.

"Tell me again why we're not ordering a half-and-half?" Raven said to herself.

Ignoring the argument, Katatz resumed to gaze at his surroundings.

"Friend, you do not wish to argue about what toppings shall be placed on the pizza?" Starfire asked the Arcanian.

"I do not even know what 'pizza' is…" Katatz replied.

"Well don't worry. We'll be ordering soon once Cyborg and Beast Boy give it a rest," Robin assured.

"So you will wait until they slumber before you order this pizza?" Katatz asked.

As Starfire giggled to herself, Robin responded with "Not exactly. We're gonna wait until they come to a decision about toppings."

"Half… and… half…" Raven said in an irritated, yet still monotonous tone.

"I don't think I've introduced you to the rest of the team," Robin said. "This is Starfire."

"Hello, new friend! I am pleased to meet you!" Starfire said in her usual joyous tone.

"This is Raven," Robin introduced.

"Hi," Raven said in her usual non-joyous tone.

"Cyborg," Robin proceeded.

"I'm telling you, you don't know what you're missing!" Cyborg yelled to Beast Boy before turning his attention to the Arcanian. "Oh, yo!"

"And last but not least, Beast Boy."

"Sup!" Beast Boy greeted.

"Collectively, we're the Teen Titans. We're responsible for keeping the peace, and we would've taken down Malodor if you didn't take him out first." Robin concluded.

"I am pleased to meet your acquaintances. As for my name, I am Katatz," The Arcanian introduced himself to the Titans, "I come from…"

Before Katatz could finish his thought, an electronic device sounded. Robin pulled out a small, yellow device that was marked with a "T".

"Trouble at the H-District!" Robin exclaimed, "Someone named Osmosis."

"Another newbie to stomp out, huh?" Cyborg inquired with a somewhat arrogant tone.

"Unless one of us fought against someone named 'Osmosis' and kept it a secret," Raven added her two cents.

"What about pizza?" Beast Boy moaned.

"It'll have to wait," Robin ordered. "Titans, move out! And Katatz, sorry, but we have to… go?"

To Robin's dismay, Katatz had vanished from his seat. But business is business, and the Titans departed to thwart their new nemesis.

From the rooftops of the city, Katatz made a mad dash towards impending danger. Rooftop to rooftop, he leapt. He didn't know the city very well, but he seemed to know where to go in order to find this "Osmosis" character and thwart his troubling activity.

'I sense the activity of an entity stronger than a normal Earthling,' Katatz thought to himself. 'Quite possibly this "Osmosis" that is wrecking havoc within something called "H-District". I suppose I'll have to rectify this evil as well.'

Katatz continued his rush until he found himself in a more suburban area of the city. Unlike the rest of the city, this area seemed less populated with skyscrapers and whatnot and more so with family homes and a convenience shop here and there. From the rooftops, he saw what could best be described as a dynamic blue blob demolishing homes.

"This must be H-District, and that must be Osmosis…" Katatz said to himself.

Before Katatz could make his move, a barrage of green blasts rained down upon Osmosis. The gelatinous mass turned it's attention to the Titans.

"Whatever you came to take into yourself, you're going to take a beating instead," Robin taunted. "Titans, go!"

'Looks like they are going to battle this thing instead of myself…'Katatz thought to himself as he watched the Titans charge Osmosis.

Osmosis shot a stream of it's own bodily essence at the Titans, but they promptly split up to avoid being struck by Osmosis's attack. Starfire and Cyborg attacked with a barrage of starbolts and a photon laser respectively, but Osmosis's body shifted to dodge their attacks, and estates were ravaged. With their failed attack, Osmosis was too distracted to avoid Robin's explosive discs. As a cloud of dust appeared, a smaller blob fired from the dust and took the Boy Wonder by surprise as he was impaled and plastered to the outer walls of a nearby house. Pushing against the wall, Robin broke free from his containment and rejoined the battle.

Osmosis began to drift towards his next opponent, Beast Boy. The liquid entity dove towards the changeling. Luckily, Beast Boy was able to morph into an electric eel in time to administer a hefty shock towards the liquid-based villain. In a desperate attempt to shrug him away, Osmosis spawned a wide limb from its body and swiped the changeling away, only to be impaled by a lamppost. Osmosis regained himself just in time to become hammered by another lamppost utilized by Raven's dark talents. With an available opening, Cyborg and Starfire opened fire once more and blasted Osmosis with authority.

"If at first you don't succeed, make sure you kick some ass the second time around," Cyborg gloated.

Throughout the fight, Osmosis was being trimmed away. Small portions of the viscous mass were scattered throughout the noticeably ravaged region. The gooky villain once again tried to regain itself, but a staff through its body kept Osmosis down. Robin, the staff wielder, retracted his staff and took a step back.

"You're washed up," Robin said with contempt.

"Enough… with the one liners…" Osmosis gurgled.

The portions of Osmosis's eroded body began to react and spring towards the Titans. Forceful impacts threw the heroes into Osmosis's body as the gooky villain once again became whole. After pulling itself together, Osmosis used its bodily talents to pin the Titans to house walls.

"He was playing possum!" Cyborg exclaimed.

"I do not like how he plays! It is not very fun!" Starfire added.

"Don't worry, guys! I know how we can get out of this one!" Beast Boy reassured.

"If your plan is to become the eel again, it will not work, unless your friends are… disposable to you," Osmosis frothed.

"He's right. He's practically water," Raven responded. "Any electricity you use will shock us."

"We have to find some way out of his grip!" Robin yelled as he struggled to break free.

"By the time you free yourself, it will be too late," Osmosis scoffed, "I am named Osmosis for a reason. I consume what I grasp, and you are all in my clutches…"

The Titans began to scream as they felt themselves being consumed. Osmosis began to laugh and gurgle until the tentacles that pinned the Titans were severed by swift slashes; too swift for anyone to see, until Katatz appeared with dual energy swords in hand. Osmosis howled, as the Titans broke free of their gunky imprisonment.

"Katatz!" Robin called out.

"I'm telling you, you don't know what you're missing!" Katatz erroneously greeted. "Oh, yo!"

With blank stares on the faces of the Titans, Raven turned to Cyborg and said "Now you can hear firsthand how pizza arguments ruin the mind."

"Ha! I'm more of a role model than I thought!" Cyborg exclaimed.

"Enough drivel!" Osmosis belched before he acknowledged Katatz. "Who are you?"

"I am Katatz." The Arcanian illustrated, "If you require an opponent outside of your capabilities to defeat, I will fight you."

"Where five people have failed to defeat me, a lone warrior will fare no better," Osmosis frothed. "You have squandered your element of surprise. How will you win?"

"Let me worry about that." Katatz retorted with a smirk as he took a fighting stance.

"Thanks to Katatz, we have another chance to beat Osmosis. Titans, move!" Robin commanded.

The five Titans rushed towards Osmosis once more. Using its gooey tentacles, Osmosis smacked four of the Titans away. Only Robin remained on the charge, and he got some hits on the gloppy mass. A roundhouse kick to a leg sweep, followed by some swipes with his dual nightsticks did little more than ripple the liquefied behemoth, and a binding with one tentacle and a flurry of whippings from the other tentacles was the price Robin paid for his failed attack. But a swift slash of Katatz's energy sword freed Robin from yet another hopeless situation. He shook himself off and rose to his feet, but before Robin could attempt another attack, Katatz blocked his path using his energy sword.

"Enough, Robin!" Katatz exclaimed.

"You're kidding, right! Get your Halo 2 newb stick out of my way!" Robin shot back. "We have to beat Osmosis!"

"Just like you have been doing?" Katatz questioned. "Listen, a hero can do no good if he fails to accomplish his act of heroism. Your aim is to quell Osmosis's evil, yet he is quelling your good."

The other Titans regrouped with Robin and Katatz.

"As much as none of us want to admit, we have no way of beating Osmosis right now." Raven added. "He's a new villain, and we came into this battle entirely unprepared."

"There's a way to beat everyone." Robin responded. "Beast Boy, do you think you can use the electric eel again?"

"If Kenshin Himura lets me get another crack at him." Beast Boy replied as he pointed towards Katatz walking towards Osmosis.

Katatz gazed at Osmosis. A look of determination was on his face as Osmosis paused his demolition of nearby buildings and prepared to duel the Arcanian

'He's entirely amorphous.' Katatz thought to himself. 'Physical attacks will do nothing to him, and neither will small energy attacks. But unlike the Titans, I have something that might actually work.'

"So the big bad lone wolf is finally going to step up to my might…" Osmosis cockily said.

'I think I will have to destroy Osmosis with one massive attack. If this fight keeps lingering, the H-District will crumble. If I fail, the H-District crumbles, because it is clear that the Titans cannot defeat Osmosis, and he is free to continue his rampage. I suppose this is the Divine Presence's way of testing me to see if I am fit to be a champion.'

Osmosis made the first move. A flurry of tentacles suddenly shot at Katatz, but using his great speed, Katatz was able to dodge the tentacles as he approached the liquefied mass.

'I will have to launch Osmosis into the skies in order to spare the architecture from my attack…' Katatz thought as he proceeded with his rush.

A leap into the air freed the Arcanian from the flurry of tentacles, only for him to confront another barrage of processed limbs. With little control of himself in the air, Katatz resorted to hacking away the tentacles with his dual swords, until he plummeted into Osmosis's very essense.

"That motherfucker is nuts!" Cyborg said from the sidelines. "He's right where Osmosis can do his worst!"

"If he absorbs Katatz, that's just more trouble for us! Let's… woah…" Robin stopped his own rant.

"HAHAHAHA!" Osmosis scoffed. "For someone who thought he could defeat me, you sure did last a whole five seconds in combat. Now you're merely a warrior fit for a meal…" Osmosis continued to laugh, unaware of the energies Katatz was generating from within.

'Keep saying that…'Katatz thought as he powered up.

In an instant, Katatz exploded with power. A tower of energy was the aftermath of the Arcanian's power eruption, and Osmosis was expelled into the sky, while Katatz remained on ground level. Getting a firm foothold on the ground, Katatz cupped his hands and channeled more energy. A white orb appeared inside the area of his two cupped palms.

"Be purified by light!" Katatz screamed. "Juu'co Juu'co Miedotat!"

As he completed his incantation, he forced his arms towards Osmosis and fired a tremendous blast of concentrated light energy, kicking up a cloud of dust that blanketed the entire region and disrupted the view of the Titans. The dust was the least of the attack, for there was the attack itself that impaled Osmosis. As the gooey mass gurgled in pain, he disintegrated within the blast.

The dust dissipated momentarily, and the Titans regained the view of the H-District, where all that remained was Katatz. Osmosis was nowhere to be seen.

"That was the Fighting Street, yes?" Starfire asked her teammates.

"More like something you'd see out of Dragon Ball Z…" Beast Boy said with astonishment.

Where the five Teen Titans had failed in battle, a lone warrior succeeded in little time, with a power far beyond anyone could've comprehended. A realization left one thought in their minds…

'Who is this guy?'
