Hi, people! I'm back again, though it took me a week to start writing this. I can't believe I have three weeks off school for Spring Break, and I wasted one week reading other fanfics and listening to Launch. Anywho, I'm back and I've got another chapter of Raven, Help Me! for everybody! Let's answer reviews before we start.
Gilraen Luinwe: Thanks! Glad you like it!
Isumo1489: I heard your plea. Hope you like this chapter.
ELM-Tree10: Um, sorry. I have a problem writing Rob/Rae couples. I'm trying though.
nunofyorbiz: Later. When the Titans go to the Digital World with TK and Kari.
thiller: Thanks for the support. You're right.
BlueSakuramon: As soon as Lent's over I'll know you've read this. No, It's not ending for a couple more chapters.

This is the most reviews I've ever had for any chapter. But still, at this rate. I might get more. Anyway, R&R as always, and lookout for my next Digimon: Power Rangers Style chapter, hopefully coming out tomorrow. Ja ne! Enjoy!
Chapter 5: An Apple a Day Keeps the Bad Guys Coming
A week had passed before TK had noticed. He and Kari were enrolled in school, though they didn't tell anybody where they stayed. They, Patamon and Gatomon enjoyed every minute of their stay; from the crime busting to the martial arts training Robin was giving them.
TK and Kari had both received costumes for they're crime fighting. TK's resembled MagnaAngemon. The only things different were the shield, wings, sword and helmet. Cyborg had constructed a beam shield for him to use, though it was yellow instead of purple. He had also constructed a pair of metal angel wings with a jetpack attached to the back of the costume. The helmet was like Angemon's helmet. TK could see due to extremely tiny cameras placed where his eyes would be. Inside the helmet, screen would show him what the cameras were seeing.
Kari's resembled Angewomon's outfit, minus the wings and ribbon. Everything else, from the mismatched gloves down to the boots, was the same. Her helmet was like TK's, micro cameras where her eyes would be, connecting to screens inside. Her wings were also like TK's. Her weapon was a bow, and the arrows she used were constructed by Speedy, who was staying in the tower for a couple weeks.
That morning, a week after their arrival, found TK and Patamon at the beach, the former going for his now-usual swim, and the latter sleeping next to his partner's stuff. Later that day, The two of them, Kari, Gatomon, Raven, and Robin were going to the movies, Raven going to keep TK happy (though it wasn't necessary any more) and Robin going because the movie they were going to see was one he had wanted to see for a long time.
Patamon, asleep where TK had gone into the water, was awakened by TK's Titan's communicator. "Yes?" he asked sleepily.
"Yo, sorry to wake you, Patamon," came Cyborg's voice, "But we've got a problem. Could you tell TK to meet us in the control room?"
"We'll be right there." Patamon said. He flew out to his partner. "TK, there's a problem. Cyborg says to meet in the control room."
"Thanks, Pata-pal." TK said, shifting his course and heading back to the island.
When TK and Patamon arrived at the control room, Robin, Cyborg, Beast Boy, Starfire, Raven, Speedy, Kari, and Gatomon were waiting for them.
"What's going on?" TK asked, coming up beside Kari, Patamon on his head.
"We don't know yet." Raven said. "Robin's looking into it."
"Got it!" Robin said. "It's Mumbo! He's after the ruby apple."
TK nodded to Kari and both ran to their rooms. When they came back, they were in their Hope and Light costumes.
"Everybody ready? Titans, LET'S ROCK!"
In the Jump City Museum, a figure was fiddling with the security around the ruby apple. Unlike other thieves, who would've used electronic equipment to disable the security, this guy used one word.
"Abracadabra!"
He grabbed the glass over the ruby apple and unceremoniously tossed it over his shoulder. He grinned as he picked up the glimmering apple.
Leaping outside onto the rooftop, he scanned the area for any annoying kids. If the rumors were true, the Titans had two new members, both of whom had strange pets; the boy had a golden abraxen, and the girl a white sphinx.
Seeing the coast was clear, he made a mad dash for the edge, but skidded to a halt, eyes wide, when a voice called form the shadows. "Hello, Mumbo. It's been a while."
He turned and saw the five Titans, plus two. Standing on Robin's left, under Raven, was the boy he'd heard about. On Robin's right, under Starfire, stood the girl. A pig with bat ears floated next to Raven and an oversized cat stood in front of the girl. Also, next to Beast Boy was a new boy with a bow in his hands.
"Titans." Mumbo greeted. "So you have made it to yet another of one of my performances. Who are the three new ones?"
"I'm sure you've heard of me." Said the boy with the boy. "The name's Speedy."
Mumbo nodded. He had heard of Speedy. If the rumors were true, the boy was supposed to have uncanny aim.
"I am Hope, keeper of hopes of the worlds." Said the armored teen under Raven.
"I am Light, the light of the worlds." Said the armored girl under Starfire.
"Interesting." Mumbo muttered. 'Keeper of hopes and the light of the worlds? Are they perhaps Gods of New Genesis?
'Oh, well. Let's get this party started.' He thought. He raised his arm and yelled "Alakazam!" as razor sharp playing cards flew from his sleeve.
The Titans dodged or blocked the shots. Mumbo noticed that Hope had jumped in front of Light and deflected the cards with his shield. What he didn't notice was that he was buying her time to nock an arrow and release it at him.
The arrow opened to reveal a pink boxing glove that nearly hit him, but he saw it at the last minute and deflected it with his cape.
"No one hits the Amazing Mumbo!" he gloated.
"Oh, yeah?" Cyborg asked. He fired a white sound blast at Mumbo and hit him, knocking him to the ground.
That caused the magician to start steaming. "Hocus pocus!" he shouted, sending everything from the cards to explosive stuffed bunnies at them, so frequently that Hope had trouble deflecting them.
"Boom Bubble!" Then Patamon sent a blast of air that hit the magician in the face and stopped his barrage.
"Lightning Paw!" Gatomon sent a paw to his gut, sending him to the ground again.
Beast Boy turned into an elephant and charged, but Mumbo held up and hypno disk that caught the shape-shifter in a trance, reverting him to his regular shape.
"Try my hypnosis!" Gatomon shouted, her eyes glowing pink. "Cat's Eye Hypnotism!"
The beam that shot from her eyes paralyzed Mumbo long enough to be frozen in place by arrows from Speedy and Light.
With only his head free, Mumbo saw Robin leap overhead with his staff and Hope flying low with his shield energized. "Uh-oh…"
The staff sent Mumbo at Hope, who swung his shield. But Hope's momentum was sent into the swing, and the force sent Mumbo over the side of the roof.
The Titans ran over to the edge. On the ground were pieces of ice, but no magician.
"Aw, nuts." Cyborg said, changing his cannon back into his arm.
"It's not over." Robin said. "The ruby apple has a counterpart, the emerald apple. Mumbo will be after it tonight. Let's bead back to the Tower and get some sleep. We're going on a steak-out tonight."
Everyone agreed, Raven created a platform for those who couldn't fly, and they zoomed back to Titan's Tower.
