Ok... So I'm at school at 6:40am on Tuesday, don't ask, and I'm lying down with my coat under my head and my arm over my eyes when, BAM, an idea popped into my head... In other words, I just got an idea for another fan fiction... hooha, go me... Now, I can't tell you guys what it is about, and I can't start it until I finish this one... All I can say is that I was inspired by the episode "X" You know, the one with the second appearance of Red X... Oops... I've said too much... Enough with the future and back to the present... According to the reviews, or lack there of (there weren't that many) you guys didn't seem to like my last chapter too much... And I must admit, I didn't like it that much myself... Romance ain't my thing, so I'm not too good at it... So, to make up for it, I spent forever on chapter four... Action seems to be what I'm good at, and this chapter is stuffed full of it... But right now, on to the reviewer answer, thingies...
Big B: Yes, I know my story is kinda short... I don't write that much so I will admit my chapters are a bit short... You don't have to point out that my story isn't as good as White Dwarf's "The New Guy" I already know that... Also, I will admit that my last chapter mostly consisted of dialogue... I usually don't do that... I usually do go into more detail in my stories, at least I think so, so I don't know what your talking bout... Sorry if I sound critical, but I'm just saying what I think, which I'm sure that is exactly what you were doing
Gundamknight: What exactly did you find evil... You weren't exactly clear in that... Oh, and the reason why Raven levitated his mask off his head and into her hands, not over his head, was 1) she was too far away from him to just take it off by hand and 2) she wanted to have a little fun with him... I should really make these things more clear
Dr. Evans: Well, I'm glad at least someone seemed to like this chapter... Thanks man, it means a lot... Don't worry... I believe I got over my writers block for this next chapter... But we all know it will kick in again... It always does
J or The Blind: If you think something could be done better, then tell me... If you just say something needs work and then don't say anything else, how the hell am I gonna improve? Sheesh people... Give a guy a break will ya
Ok, now that all that is taken care of, back to the story... Finally, an action/fight scene... This is the moment you have all been waiting for so read on... Read darn you...
Disclaimer: I don't own the Titans or Spidey... The Titans and Spidey own me... And I don't mind... I love the shows and I can't get enough of them... But one of these days...
"Titans, trouble. Everyone, gather in the main room." Robin's voice sounded throughout the entire tower.
Cyborg was working under the T-Car when he heard the alarm. I startled him and caused him to hit his head on the underside of the hood. "Ouch!" Cyborg started to rub his head. "This better be a big emergency." He ran to the elevator and pushed the button for the main room, while still rubbing his head.
Beast Boy was in the kitchen fixing himself an ice cream sundae. "Yum. My tutti frutti tofu ice creamy. Too bad there is an emergency. Now I have to wait till I get back to eat it... or do I?" Beast Boy transformed into an alligator and ate the ice cream in one bite. Then he transformed back to normal.
"Ugh. Brain freeze!"
Starfire was already with Robin when the alarm went off so she didn't have to run very far.
Spidey looked at Raven still in her doorway. "Looks like there's trouble."
"Looks like it. Give me your hand." Raven held out her hand to Spidey. He looked at it strangely.
"Why?"
"We don't have time, just do what I ask." Spidey sighed and took Raven's hand in his. "Azerath Metrion Zinthos." Black energy engulfed the two of them and they phased through the ceiling and into the main room.
"Whoa, what a rush. That was quick" Spidey said as they arrived in the main room. Raven and Spidey ran to Robin's side. Beast Boy and Starfire were already there. Robin was typing furiously at the keypad.
Cyborg rushed through the elevator doors. "Sorry I'm late. What's the emergency?"
Robin punched in one final key and an image appeared on the giant screen. "See for yourself."
On the screen, a newsperson was talking with fear in his voice. "If you look behind me you can see the mass chaos that has happened here." In the background, a corner of a building had been smashed and was starting to crumble. People were lying in the street, some were seriously injured, and some were dead. Pools of blood were lying next to everyone almost. All the Titans and Spidey gasped in horror at this awful sight.
A car was flung across the screen and cries of agony and pain could be heard. The newsperson appeared on screen again. "The creature that is responsible appears to be a giant..." The newsperson suddenly turned pale and was horror struck. "Oh my God! No! Please don't! I beg of -" The newsperson was hit hard by something, and was flung back into a building. The force of the impact split his skull, killing him instantly.
A second later, a green flash rushed the camera and signal went dead, but not before a blood curdling scream of pain and the sound of flesh being ripped apart could be heard.
Everyone in Titans Tower was wide-eyed in horror. Beast Boy was the first to break the silence.
"What in the world was that thing?!"
Robin looked down at the keypad and started typing in combinations. "I don't know, but we're going to find out." The video started to play again. "And still frame............ Now!" Robin punched a button and the video stopped.
The creature that was causing so much chaos was now frozen in mid air on screen. It wore a white lab coat with the sleeve ends and bottom tattered and ripped. It also wore tattered and ripped purple pants. These articles of clothing covered most of the creature's dark green scaly skin. Its 3 inch long claws were reaching forward towards the camera with the intention to kill. It's mouth was open revealing razor sharp fangs and a long serpentine tongue. It's eyes were yellow and had the look of a mindless killing machine.
'Oh no, not another tongue' Starfire thought to herself as she cringed at the sight of the creature. (Read "Trust" to get why Star is so freaked out by giant tongues)
"Poor Dr. Connors." The Titans all turned to see that Spidey had collapsed onto one of the couches. "I was hoping I would never have to fight him ever again. But I guess I never have that kinda luck." He closed his hands and bowed his head.
"Are you telling us you've fought this thing before?" Beast Boy asked, pointing back to the screen.
Spidey sighed. "Unfortunately yes. I hate fighting my friends."
The Titans looked at each other in surprise, then back to Spidey. "That monster is your friend?!" Beast Boy yelled.
"Not the monster itself, but the person inside the monster. Dr. Connors was working with reptilian DNA on animals who had lost a limb. 'If a limb could be regrown on a rodent, just think of what this means for humanity' he told me. He tested it on himself, since he had lost his right arm. It worked, for a while. But every time he loses control of his anger, he transforms into what you see before you." Spidey pointed towards the screen. "The Lizard."
Raven felt a pang in her chest. She felt so sorry for Spidey. She could almost feel the same hurt and sorrow that he felt. Raven walked over to the couch and sat down next to Spidey. She wrapped her arms around him, trying her best to comfort him.
Spidey reached up and placed his hand on her arm. "Thanks" he said as he looked into her soft violet eyes. Raven smiled a weak smile in response.
"So, how do we stop him?" Robin asked.
Spidey motioned to Raven to let go, and she did as she was asked. Spidey stood up to face Robin. "A blast of radio active energy usually does the trick, causing the Lizard side of Dr. Connors conscience to stay dormant for a longer period of time. But, since we don't have anything like that, knocking him out works just as well. It wont keep the Lizard from resurfacing at an earlier time, but right now, we don't have much of a choice."
Robin started to rub his chin as he stared at Spidey. "I see." He then turned to the other Titans as he slammed his fist into his palm. "Alright team. Its almost just like fighting Plasmus. Hit him hard and knock him out. It wont be easy, but we have to do it."
"Right on!" Beast Boy yelled.
"Booyah!" Cyborg chanted.
"Yes, let us kick the butt!" Starfire said.
Raven looked over to Spidey. "You sure you want to do this." There was a look of concern in her eyes.
Spidey gave her a thumbs up. "I wouldn't be a super hero if I didn't. No worries. Let's do this."
"Alright then team!" Robin yelled. "Titans, Go!"
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
The Lizard was rampaging through the city. His ration mind was clouded with anger and malice. All he could think of doing was to kill. People were fleeing in terror as fast as the could, but not all were so lucky. A young woman holding her child in her arms fell to the ground. She clutched the child as the rest of the crowd stampeded around them.
When the woman looked up again, she saw the Lizard standing over her. The woman's eyes filled with horror at the realization that she was going to die.
'Kill... Kill... KILL!' The Lizard let out a horrible roar and lunged for the woman. The woman clutched her child, closed her eyes, and screamed.
"Not so fast you oversized wallet!" Spidey shot out two weblines that connected with the Lizard's tail and back, stopping the Lizard in his tracks.
"Starfire, get that woman out of here" Robin yelled out, pointing to the woman and her child, lying on the street right in front of the Lizard.
"Right!" Starfire zoomed past the Lizard and grabbed hold of the woman and child. She flew off and carried them to safety. Starfire returned shortly after.
"We can't have you going around killing people to your hearts content now can we? Looks like we will just have to take you out" Robin said, pointing a defiant finger at the Lizard.
'Kill... Kill... I... Must... KILL!' The Lizard let out a roar and slashed at the weblines with his claws. This caused Spidey to stumble back. The Lizard then charged for the Titans.
Beast Boy morphed into a velociraptor and charged at the Lizard. He slashed at him with his ferocious claws and fiercely bit at him.
The Lizard jumped over the claw attacks and ducked under the biting. He then thrust forward his claws and dug into Beast Boy's neck. Then, with his claws still in the neck, the Lizard flung himself onto Beast Boy's back. He released his claws, only to replace them with his teeth, which dug deeper into Beast Boy's neck. Blood stated to seep out of the many wounds.
Beast Boy let out a horrible cry of pain, but the Lizard would not let go. All of a sudden, a beam of blue energy came towards the two. The Lizard saw this and pulled his victim in front of him, letting Beast Boy take the full force of the attack. The Lizard them jumped off of Beast Boy's back, letting him fall to the ground in his normal form. He was unconscious and bleeding from multiple holes in his neck.
'Kill... Kill... KILL!' The Lizard grabbed Beast Boy by the hair and flung him towards Cyborg.
"Crap. I missed. But I wont miss... again?! Hold on BB. I got ya!" Cyborg changed his seismic cannon back to normal and caught Beast Boy.
The Lizard then rushed towards Cyborg with claws slashing. With Beast Boy in his arms, Cyborg could only try and dodge the attacks. He didn't do too well though. The Lizard slashed the skin on one of Cyborg's arms, causing him to let out a cry of pain. The Lizard then whipped around, causing his tail to crash into Cyborg. Beast Boy and Cyborg both went flying.
The Lizard turned around just in time to catch a star bolt right in the face. He was caught off guard, but he wasn't injured. He turned his death glare towards Starfire.
She sent forth a massive amount of star bolts and eye beams, but the Lizard just weaved in and out of them with the greatest of ease. In a few seconds he was on top of Starfire. His eyes had hatred in them as his mouth opened to reveal his sharp teeth and long tongue, with saliva dripping from every corner of his mouth.
'Not another tongue.' Starfire winced at the sight of it.
"Get off of her you monster!" Robin yelled. He pulled out his retractable bo staff and was charging towards the Lizard. Robin jumped in the air and was about to hit the Lizard with everything he had, when the Lizard back-handed him right in the face. This sent Robin spinning back. But before he hit the ground, the Lizard whipped around and smacked Robin in mid air with his tail.
Robin was sent flying across the street, and straight into a lamp post. The impact caused the post to bend and break, and fall right towards Robin's unconscious body.
"Robin!" Starfire yelled. She tried to get, but the Lizard was still on her. He grabbed her face with his claws and forced it into the ground, knocking her out.
Just as the lamp post was about to fall on Robin, a black and white blur rushed over him and pulled him to safety.
"Well Spider. It looks like you and your friends are having a bit of trouble. Mind if I help?" Spidey and Raven both looked at the source of the voice. It was Black Cat.
'Not her again' Raven thought. "What are you doing here?"
"I was in the neighborhood" Black Cat replied.
"Hey, that's my line" Spidey said, with a bit of a sarcastic pout to his voice.
Black Cat laid Robin down, then pulled out her whip. With the twist of her wrist, the whip flung forward and snatched onto a street light post. She then swung down towards Spidey and Raven. Then, with another twist of her wrist, the whip let go and she landed gracefully before the two remaining teen heroes.
'I know we need help, but did it have to come from... her?' Raven looked over to Black Cat with a questioning look.
Black Cat saw Raven's look. "Hey now, I'm just here to help you and Spider out. We're all friends, right?" she said in a sexy tone.
"Cat, we'd be very grateful for your help. As you can see, we're having a bit of trouble." Spidey gestured to the battle scene with the rest of the Titans unconscious.
'Cat? He has a nick name for her as well? Wait, why am I thinking about this? This is not the time.' Raven pulled her hood over her head, covering most of her face. "Now is the time to fight."
Spidey looked over at Raven then to Black Cat. 'This should be an interesting team up.'
"Azerath Metrion Zinthos!" Raven's dark energy enveloped two nearby cars and hurled them at the Lizard. He smacked one away with his tail and jumped over the other.
Black Cat and Spidey took this chance and rushed the Lizard head on. Spidey shot a webline around the Lizard's legs. Just before the Lizard could slash the webline to shreds, the lamp post that had almost landed on Robin was covered in Raven's dark energy and was hurled at the Lizard. He slashed it to pieces, but the Black Cat wrapped her whip around the Lizard's claws, rendering them useless.
"Azerath Metrion Zinthos!" More poles were enveloped by Raven's dark energy and were uprooted from where they stood. They rushed in and plowed into the Lizard from all directions. The poles then bent and wrapped themselves around the Lizard. Spidey and Black Cat pulled their weblines and whips forward, forcing the Lizard down to the ground.
Spidey looked at the two girls. "I think its time to finish this."
Raven and Black Cat answered in unison. "Right!"
All three rushed towards the Lizard, who was struggling with his bonds. Raven jumped into the air and delivered a powerful round house kick right into the Lizard's face, sending him back quite a bit. Black Cat sprang in and gave a devastating upper cut to the Lizard's chin, sending him into the air. Spidey jumped up after him and did a back flip kick to the top of the Lizard's head, sending him plummeting back down to the ground below with an explosion of dirt and dust.
As the cloud of dust cleared away, the three heroes could see the Lizard lying still, except for the occasional spasm. His eyes and mouth were clenched in pain, then they relaxed. The Lizard's right arm started to pulse and contort before it disappeared into the tattered coat. His snout and sharp teeth molded back to form a human face. The green skin seemed to flake off to reveal human skin. The figure that was now there was no longer the blood hungry Lizard, but the unconscious form of Dr. Connors.
Spidey plopped himself on the ground and leaned back. "Whew. Glad that's over with."
Black Cat pounced onto Spidey. "Well Spider. It looks like we did it. Together."
"Um, Cat? Two things. One..." Spidey raised his index finger, "Raven helped too. There would be no way any of us could have defeated the Lizard without team work. And two, please get off of me. I need my personal space."
Black Cat started to pout. "Awww. You're no fun." She got up off of Spidey and crossed her arms across her chest.
Spidey looked over to Raven and she could almost feel the reassuring smile he was no doubt giving her.
As Spidey was getting to his feet, sirens could be heard coming towards them. "Well girls, it looks like we won. But maybe, just maybe, we should get the others to a hospital." Spidey pointed to the unconscious Titans. "Cat, could you help Raven out? I got something I gotta take care of."
Black Cat looked at Raven and Raven in turn looked at Black Cat. Both turned from the other with arms crossed. "I'll help her Spider, but I'm only doing if for you."
'I don't need her help, but I guess I'll do it for him.' Raven and Black Cat turned to the task at hand and set to work.
Spidey shot out a webline and swung towards to top of a nearby building. "Good thing I remembered to set this thing up ahead of time." Spidey pulled a camera away from some webbing and put it to his belt. "I guess JJ was right about something big going down in Jump City. But who was that guy on the phone and how did he know the Lizard was going to show up. All very good questions, but for now, I got good, newsworthy photos and now JJ can't yell at me for not doing my job. Not bad Spidey. Not bad at all."
As Spidey jumped off the building to rejoin the girls, he didn't notice the floating camera that had caught the whole fight on tape.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
Two figures were watching the fight between the Titans and Spidey against the Lizard unfold.
"So my dear friend. Are you looking forward to getting your revenge on him?" The figure that spoke crossed his arms behind his back as he looked to his companion.
"Yes, we are most excited to rip him, and his new little friends, to shreds. Their powers are impressive, but ours is greater."
"True. Their powers are most impressive, but don't be too over confident about yours. They all have things that they hide. But, I too am looking forward on getting my revenge on him."
"Whatever. All we care about is our own personal satisfaction." The second figure turned from the screens and the first figure, and started to walk away. 'Soon Parker. I will rip you to shreds with my own two hands.'
The first figure looked after his receding companion, then back to the screens. "Soon."

So, I'm a little tired so I am going to pass out... But before I do, I must remind you to read and review... Now that that has been said, I'm go pass out now... Laterz... ::passes out::
