Chapter 2: Battle on the Bridge
Everyone on the bridge was in panic, and for good reason, too. In the blink of an eye, 100 black creatures armed with all sorts of weapons walked out of the shadows. As soon as they appeared, they began wrecking everything their glowing yellow eyes could see. Cars were tipped over & burning, and a few of the suspension wires had been cut. The creatures continued their merciless onslaught, destroying objects and attacking any people who got in their way.
All the people unlucky enough to be on the bridge at the time were now fleeing for their lives. The creatures continued to pursue the fleeing masses like beasts on the hunt.
One small boy tripped on his shoelace and hit the ground hard. His shin hit a piece of chipped off concrete, fracturing it instantly. The boy clutched his leg in pain, crying out for his mother.
"Billy!" the boy's mother yelled out. She had heard his crying and was now struggling to get through the shoving crowds. She tried to tell them to let her through, bet her voice was drowned out by the other screams of panic.
"Mommy!" he screamed, "Help me!" The boy was now crying and bawling in pain, grabbing his leg and rolling around on the ground. He looked up and he could see his mother fighting her way through the crowd to get to her.
'Almost there' she thought. The boy's mother had almost made it to him, when one of the creatures appeared behind her son. Then, the shadow grabbed the boy in the neck and started strangling him. Add to the fact that the creature had clawed fingers and one can imagine the boy's pain. He was only ten. As active as he was, he had nowhere near enough strength to fight off a strong creature, let alone stop it from strangling him and piercing him in the neck.
"No!!!!!!!" yelled his mother "Please stop! He's only a little boy! More than that he's my son!" tears rolled down her cheeks as each word came screaming out of her mouth.
"Are you expecting me to care?" hissed the shadow being. It then looked at the woman with its glowing yellow eyes. "It is not my fault that he is a weakling little boy. If he truly deserves to live, he should be strong enough to fight for his right to live. But as you can see here, that is not the case." The creature then hit the boy over the head, knocking him unconscious. He looked back to the kid's mother "His wiggling was pissing me off. You've got a very irritating son, soon to be a very dead one. But don't worry, I'll end you're misery as soon as I end his." The being then materialized a black sword in his free hand and pointed the blade to the boy, preparing to stab him.
The mother cried and prayed to any force that would listen to her. Her prayers were answered with a light, a blue light that did not come from the sky, but from behind the being. It hit the creature hard, sending it flying off the bridge and taking the boy with it. As the creature was falling off the bridge, it let go of the boy. A black platform materialized in thin air, catching the boy before he hit the water. The platform brought the kid back up to the bridge next to his mother.
"Nice catch Raven" said Robin "Alright. Beast Boy, get them out of here as fast as you can."
"Fast. OK, got it," replied beast boy. He then morphed into a horse and ran up next to the kid and his mom, signaling for them to get on. The mother nodded, picking up her knocked out son and getting on BB's back. They then ran off towards the exit of the bridge, dodging any creatures that got in their way.
The creature that had been knocked off the bridge somehow managed to jump back onto the bridge and was now staring down his attackers.
"So, you must be the Teen Titans." It said with a sneer.
"And you must be the guys who ended my winning streak", replied Cyborg while charging up his sonic cannon "nice to meet you".
"Alright you maniacs", said Robin "you've got one chance to leave. If you choose not to take it, that's fine with me. Just don't expect a second opportunity". He cracked his knuckles at the end of his threat. The creature looked at Robin for a few seconds before suddenly breaking out into a maniacal laugh that sounded like a hundred souls shrieking and laughing at the same time. It was so disturbing that even Raven shuddered.
"The Specter back down from no enemy, whether it be man, woman, or even some extra terrestrial freak girl" he said, pointing to Starfire.
"If I am a freak then you are a Vlorbian Guardnog!!!" Starfire yelled back with glowing green eyes and star bolts ready to blow up the creature. If Raven had not held her back she would have gone ballistic on EVERYONES'S ass. The creature merely grinned. "Like I said, we're not leaving", he said. "Well, at least not until your dead and limbless, not necessarily in that order."
"You're loss", said Robin. "Titans, GO!" he yelled out, not noticing that the creatures had surrounded them.

In an abandoned warehouse by the seaport, a lone figure practices martial arts. He is a teenage boy, about 17, with a very muscular body, but not a bulky one, the body you'd expect to see on a martial artist (think Bruce Lee body, only a little bit bigger). He punches and kicks the empty air around him with skill and strength. He keeps striking, chaining all his moves together with split second precision, not stopping or sowing down for anything at all. Suddenly, halfway through a roundhouse kick, he comes to a stop.
"Hey Akujin", he said, "Do you sense that?"
"Yeah, I'm feeling it", answered a voice from the darkness. "I guess they finally decided to pop-up. Took them long enough." The boy smiled.
"We'd better get going, I don't know how long the Titans can hold them back." He then picked up his sheathed katana, placed it on his belt, and put on his long black coat before getting on his motorcycle and riding off towards the bridge.

It has been half an hour since the Titans began fighting against the strange shadow creatures that call themselves the Specters, and since the beginning, they had been on the defensive. Starfire was flying over the bridge, repeatedly looking behind her and firing star bolts at the creatures that chased her. One of the Specters jumped up from the bridge behind her and grabbed Starfire, pulling her back down to the ground. As soon as they hit the ground, a group of five had already surrounded her. She quickly fired a star bolt at the one that grabbed her and while she was distracted one of the others rushed at her with its sword.
Luckily for her, Robin ran in and punched the Specter in the face, causing it to stagger before Robin delivered an uppercut to its chin, knocking him down. He then hit the nearest Specter with a spinning right kick and sent it flying before quickly tripping the nest one with a sweeping low kick. While he had done all this, Starfire had charged at the other two and fired off two star bolts, each one hitting their target square in the chest. She then looked down to see a Specter sneaking up behind Robin. She fired a star bolt at the sneaking creature, knocking it off the bridge. She flew back down to Robin.
"Thanks" said Robin.
"You're welcome", replied Starfire happily. Her grin soon disappeared when she realized that they were now surrounded by 12 Specters. She backed up and wound up standing back to back with Robin, who had drawn his staff.
"Go help the others, Star, I'll handle these guys", said Robin. As much as she didn't want to leave his side, Starfire could see Cyborg and Beast Boy being dog piled by a lot of Specters.
"Okay" she said as she began flying away. "Be careful!" she yelled back. She looked back at her secret crush and saw him taunting the freaks to bring it on.
Starfire looked at the huge pile that now covered Cyborg and BB. She began firing star bolts at the horde to get as many of the creatures off of them as possible. When she had removed about 9 of them, the pile got off the other two Titans and began to attack Starfire. 5 of the Specters who were armed with machine guns began firing wildly at Starfire. Starfire closed her eyes and put her arms up in defense, when a black shield came up out of the ground and stopped the bullets. Starfire and the Specters looked at the shield in a moment of confusion when they heard a voice.
"Do it now! Hurry!"
It was Raven. The Specters looked behind them where Cyborg and beast boy had gotten back up. Cyborg fired a sonic blast in a sweeping motion, taking out all the confused creatures.
"BOOYA! 14 in one shot!" said Cyborg. "Top that, Creature Feature."
"Tch, no problem." said BB. He then morphed into a rhino and began charging all over the place, taking out any Specters who got in the way. But he was quickly stopped when one of the Specters grabbed his horn and tossed him aside, causing him to morph back to his normal form.
"Not as easy as I thought it would be", said BB. Before he could get up, another one shoulder tackled him, sending him flying towards Cyborg. Cyborg caught him, but they both ended up on the ground. "Hehe, sorry?" said Beast Boy.
Raven was using telekinetic shields to block the rapid sword slices of one of the Specters. She was doing fine until she was shot in the back. She fell to the ground, clutching her right side in pain. She tried to stand up, but when she did she just staggered back to the ground. Only this time, the pain seemed to be getting worse. She then saw the Specter that was slashing at her earlier.
"Hurts, doesn't it?" it said. "It is designed for fighters like you, fighters who require perfect concentration and focus in order to perform their attacks. This bullet, called a Drill Bullet, digs into your body until it reaches the nearest muscle tissue. It then releases 25 half-inch talons and begins slowly tuning. First in one direction, then again in the other. Whenever you attempt to perform a mind technique or an energy attack, it quickens it turns until you submit and fall again. It slows down and waits for you to try to do it again. Also, while it's doing all this, it's also absorbing your life energy. It's truly one of master Daemos' greatest creations"
'Daemos?' Raven thought. 'That was the name of the knight in my...' Her thoughts suddenly stopped as she felt the bullet continue to writhe and twist inside her body. 'It's so painful' was all she could think.
"Let me ease your suffering, girl", said the looming Specter. It raised its sword, preparing to bring it down in a powerful vertical chop. The other Titans looked over to Raven, but none could get to her. Robin was in an inescapable deadlock with one of the Specters, Cyborg was cornered by a large group and firing like crazy to try and get out, and Beast Boy had been pinned down by multiple Specters. Starfire was flying towards her but was too far away. She wouldn't make it in time.
"Raven, GET OUT OF THERE!!!" Robin yelled.
"Get out of the way!" Cyborg yelled in frustration at the stalking creatures. He kept firing at them, but they kept blocking and deflecting his shots with their swords.
"I...must...go...faster..." Starfire said to herself as she flew as fast as she could. But it seemed, even to her, that she would not make it.
"Raven, no!" yelled Beast Boy. He tried to crawl out of the pile he was in, but there were too many, and he just wasn't strong enough. He reached out to her, tears beginning to form in his eyes. There was so much he wanted to tell her...
"It's OVER!!!!" yelled the Specter as it brought down its sword to finally finish off Raven. Raven closed her eyes, and waited for the impact. But it never came. She opened her eyes and saw the sword, just centimeters away from her face. Why had it stopped, she wondered. She then saw a blade sticking out of the creature's chest. Its eyes had lost their yellow color and became a dull gray. Suddenly, the creature's body began to be absorbed into the blade, leaving only a small blue orb that vanished as quickly as it had appeared. She looked at the wielder of the blade and was surprised at what she saw.
There stood a boy, wearing a long black coat that had a hood, which covered his face. The coat was zipped up at the upper body section (torso to lower collar bone). He wore black jeans and black zip-up Nike shoes (the lace less ones with the convenient zipper on them). He wore open finger gloves and a silver necklace with a cross on it. She also felt a large amount of energy emanating from him. But the strangest thing was the fact that he had wings on his back. Large, black wings that were slowly flapping, keeping him aloft.
"Turn over please", he said calmly. 'Turn over? What' he going to do to me? I just met the guy and now he's telling me what to do?' she thought.
"I'm here to help", he said, sensing her confusion, "now please turn over so I can get the bullet out". Raven hesitated before finally doing so. She then felt his warm palm on her back. "Just relax," he said. He then pulled his hand away slowly and multiple small lightning bolts appeared between his palm and her skin. Raven then felt the bullet slow down until it completely stopped twisting and began to move out of her flesh. She then felt the bullet completely exit the wound, leaving her weak but relieved.
"Just relax now", he assured her, "the bullet took a lot of energy out of you and you need to rest."
"But..." she tried to talk but was too tired and weak.
"I'll handle the Specters. You rest." He said. 'How does he know about the Specters?' she wondered. She was too tired to think. She just closed her eyes and slept. She still heard her rescuers next words... "Alright then", she then heard him crack his neck, "who's next?"
