Okay people, I know I said that this was not going to be updated, but I had this written down for a while and decided to type it up. Also, after watching a TT episode last night that gave the biggest hintings to Rob/Rae that I have ever seen, I got a brainstorm. I'm writing it down on paper before I type it up, but that might take a while. Anyway, let's go to reviews.
MazukoPrincess: Happy Birthday! Here's your present!
nunofyorbiz: Nope. I'm trying to end it, but that's gonna take a while.
DarkSin: Here's your update.
That's it, and don't think about finding a chappie for this for a while. I still have to write the other one, but like I said, I'm focusing on the Metroid and Season 4 stories. Sorry!
Chapter 6: How Do You Catch Magic?
After a day's sleep, the Titans were ready to take on Mumbo again. This time, though, TK decided to step up their arsenal a notch.
"Go for it, Pata!" TK said to the little pigbat, holding on his D-3 and pushing a button.
"Patamon Digivolve to…"
All of the Titans, minus TK, Kari and Gatomon, watched in awe as Patamon grew to a seven foot tall, six winged angel. On his head was a silver helmet with the same design of TK and Kari's helmets, and a golden staff in his hand. "Angemon!"
And so the Titans found themselves on the Jump City Museum on the north side of town, waiting for Mumbo to go after the emerald apple.
"Any sign of him?" Robin's voice asked from every Titans comm device.
"Front door is clear." Cyborg's voice answered.
"There is no one in the Dwelling of the Stiff and Sticky People." Starfire sang out. (A/N: In case anyone was wondering, she's in the wax room.)
"Storeroom is empty." Speedy reported.
"No one in the art room." Raven said.
"I nearly stepped on Beast Boy, but other than him, the underground rooms are clear." Light said with Gatomon on her shoulder. "What about you three?"
"Angemon is flying around the perimeter." Robin replied. "Hope and I are just bored."
"Scratch that." Hope cut in. "I just spotted him; he's in the artifacts room! Angemon, get over here, now!"
Angemon rushed over to the two boys and they jumped into the skylight, smashing it and landing in front of Mumbo just as all doors to the room opened and the other Titans ran in.
"So, you foiled me in my quiet escape again." Mumbo said, grinning. "Quite good!"
"Where is the ruby apple?" Robin snarled, drawing his staff.
"My base of operations." Mumbo grinned. "You'll never find it."
"Shouldn't be too hard." Hope commented. "We discovered the Digimon Emperor's base just fine, and that was never in the same place every hour."
During the talk, Beast Boy had snuck behind Mumbo. The changeling leapt at the emerald in the man's hand. Grabbing the gem, he landed and ran like the raccoon he currently was behind Cyborg.
"You pack rat!" Mumbo raged. "You're going to pay for that! Hocus pocus!"
He pulled out a wand and sent a blast of lightning at the now turtle, but Angemon got in the way. "Angel Rod!"
The staff in the angel's hand sent the blast onto the stone floor.
"What does it take to stop you brats!" Mumbo yelled, sending cards at the kids. While they dodged or blocked the cards, he leapt at a hole in the skylight.
"After him!" Robin yelled.
Angemon, Starfire, Hope and Light zoomed after him while Raven provided a means of getting through the skylight for those who couldn't fly.
Mumbo ran across the rooftops with Robin, Speedy and Gatomon in fast pursuit while Raven, Starfire, Angemon, Hope and Light followed from the air. Beast Boy and Cyborg were on the ground in the T-Car.
"Get back here!" Robin yelled.
Light nocked an arrow and fired it at Mumbo. The arrow broke its pink shell and revealed a net, which Mumbo barely avoided, giving the Titans time to catch up.
Robin's staff and Hope's shield came down, but Mumbo used his wand to block both, as well as arrows from Speedy and Light. Starfire shot several star bolts, but Mumbo dodged them.
"Azerath metrion zinthos!" Raven sent several shadows at the magician, but he'd produced a shield out of nowhere, blocking them.
"Hand of Fate!" Angemon loosed a beam of holy energy, hitting the shield and shattering it.
Deciding that they needed more firepower as well as a distraction, Light pulled out her D-3 and pushed a button, shouting "Digi Armor, Energize!"
"Gatomon Armor Digivolve to…Nifertimon, the Angel of Light!"
The Titans took advantage of Mumbo's distraction and attacked. Starfire and Raven released energy blasts and Speedy and Light loosed arrows while Angemon and Nifertimon launched their attacks while yelling "Hand of Fate!" and "Rosetta Stone!"
The magician flew back from the force of the attacks, right into Robin's staff, which sent him to Hope's shield. Hope sent him down to the ground, where the T-Car was waiting. Cyborg opened the roof and The Amazing Mumbo fell into the waiting tentacles of the octopus known to us as Beast Boy.
"Yeah!"

After dropping Mumbo off at the police station and recovering the ruby apple (Mumbo's so called "base of operations" was in fact extremely easy to find.), the Titans headed back to Titans Tower for quick showers and rest.
Later, when TK had retreated into his room, he made a extremely important (to him, anyway) discovery about tomorrow.
