Disclaimer :I don't own the Teen Titans, but I do own Jack Shoreshooter. So don't you use that character, unless of course you talk to me first.

To samuraiduck27: it's pleasant to know at least someone read and liked my story. Enjoy it mate!


Although she had a bad feeling, (and it was not only the buzzing in her head) she went down the tower with her hood over her head, and looked at the young man on the metal box. He didn't seem to be dangerous. His black hair, covered in dreadlocks was washed by the salty water, as his black vest, heavy black pants and leather boots. He struggled, and fell from the box, slamming the ground.

Raven came near, he had a sea smell alright, but didn't seem like a sailor, he might have been around sixteen years old, and just looked like he had been hit and thrown into the sea. She came nearer, the young man was just lying on the ground, between choking, and too punished to move, but, there was something in him that made her doubt of getting near, on his belt, a long, smooth saber was hanging on its sheath.

She couldn't think very well either, this headache was driving her mad, but, the man didn't seem bad, she should help him… Before she could decide, the young man struggled again, and with much effort and spiting sea water, he got on his knees. He opened his brown eyes, watching carefully where he was now, he saw Raven, and simply got mad.

"You!" he said angrily, took his blade with his right hand and... Stopped, calmed down and looked again at Raven. He opened his arms, leaving his chest open. "Go on. Shoot!"

Raven didn't know what to do; the young man seemed to want to be killed. He just waited there, to be attacked, but she won't strike, because she had no reason, and didn't feel like using her powers again in the rest of the day. But that seemed not enough for the young man, he suddenly stood up and grabbed his blade again, Raven didn't had time enough to thin about it, she just shoot her psychic powers at him; but it didn't work, somehow, he "caught" them, with naked hands, turning a black orb of energy into a blue one, and shooting it back at Raven. The sphere took the shape of a giant claw and slammed Raven at the towers wall, leaving her trapped.

The blow was far too hard, she hit her head, which made her headache even worse, she couldn't use her power now, that was for sure.

"Well, well." The young man said in an arrogant voice. "What have we learned today? How about… DON'T MESS WITH ME OR YOULL GET KILLED?"

He came near to her, got his sword out and pointed it at her throat. Actually, she wasn't even aware of this, she was more concerned about her headache.

"Anyhow" the young man continued. "You might want to tell this to your friends in the underworld…"

He was blown apart before he could finish the phrase, Cyborg standed on the other side of the beach with his sonic-wave canyon ready to shot another wave.

"Tell us what?" Robin said sarcastically.

"Raven! Are you okay?" Starfire hurried to support Raven, though she didn't know how to get her out of the blue claw.

"I would be better if you kept silence" Raven said. "I still have that headache"

"You want to play? Well we'll play!" the young man attacked Robin ferociously, as he was the one nearest to him, although his careless aparience, he handled his sword masterfully, and didn't take long till Robin and him took their fight several feet away from the tower, on the rocky beach, Cyborg and the Beast Boy got near to help, but Robin gave a look of: "let me handle this" they didn't want to disturb, so they were just fallowing for support.

The swordsmen gave a slash, Robin dodged it and hit him in the chin with his boo staff, then, the young men gave him a pair of clear cuts in both legs, and let him on the sand with a strong side kick. Cyborg and a rhinoceros Beast Boy talked him together, then Cyborg shot his canyon, and sand blew everywhere. There was just left a whole in the sand.

"Sure you don't have that thing in "super-lethal" or something?" Beast Boy inquired turning back to normal.

"Where the hell did he go?" Cyborg asked, looking around to trace him.

As both of them turned around the young man jumped out of the whole and gave them both a kick on the back, then gave the Beast Boy a hit with his swords handle on the back of his forehead, as for Cyborg, he opened his back and twisted a pair of cables, causing him to shut down.

"That was quite easy" he said to himself as he headed back to where the metal box, Starfire and Raven. When he got there, Starfire was still trying to get Raven out of the blue claw without success.

"Oh you!" Starfire said when she saw him coming. "How dare you do this!"

"Hey hey! Step aside! I need to end the work!" he said in a bothered tone.

"I won't let you!" Starfire said as she prepared her eyebeams and energy in her hands. She shot one beam out of her hands to the swordsmen's chest.

"Whoa! That's hot!" the young man said as he avoided it. Then he ran behind the metal box.

"You wont hide" Starfire said as she shot once again, this time doing a hole on the metal box and sending it flying into the ocean.

"Oh come on!" the young man said sadly. "Now this I can't stand it!"

He fell over Strfire and with a kick send her to the ground; she stayed there feeling the pain in her chest as he got near to the still trapped Raven.

"As I said. Well meet again…"

"No wait!" Starfire screamed.

"Don't bug me up girl! I will do what I…" he stopped in panic, he watched fearfully his right hand, holding his sabers point on Ravens throat, he was bleeding, the veins in his wrist had opened somehow, and he knew what was next. "Oh no… not now…."

As if it was a chain reaction, the veins of his arm all opened, rushing towards his shoulder, then on his chest, his legs, his back, finally, his face has filled in scars, and he fell on the sand, on a puddle of blood.

The blue claw disappeared; Raven fell on the blood puddle next to the young swordsman, and fainted by her headache.
