Revised Chapter 4 up! All right, I still don't own Teen Titans, but I still own Towerin and The Elements! Okay, please read and review!
Chapter 4- Titanic Elements
The Titans all looked in front of them; there was the massive structure of Elements Manor. It stood a little shorter then Titans Tower, but still massive all the same. The monument on the roof was still strong and tall, with the six elements floating around it in rings. The Elements Team opened the main door to their manor which sat alone on a hill in the middle of Towerin. The door swooshed open and the Titans (except for Robin) were even more surprised by what waited inside. The Elements Team welcomed the Titans in, and once they did, a massive living room awaited. Right to the right of the Titans once they walked in was a stairway that was carpeted with a polished wood holder. The steps curved into a 90 degree angle to the second floor. To the left of the entrance was a massive kitchen where the countertops were polished to perfection to really show the teal color. The floor was a polished wood as well. In front of them was a step that led down to a teal carpeted living room.
There was another step that led to an oval area with was at a lower elevation then the main floor. A couch encircled half of the oval, in which faced towards a massively large TV screen that doubled as a villain radar, just like in Titans Tower. To the other end of the manor's first floor was another clear swooshing door that leads to the backyard which had a pool and a large football playing field.
"Wow, this place is colossal! I mean, not as big as Titans Tower by any means, but wow, we don't have a pool!" Cyborg said, pretty impressed by the manor.
"Yes, it is all wonderful! Tell me, where do the stairs lead?" Starfire asked Lelu, who she bonded the best with on this new team.
"Well," Lelu told her, "it leads up to the other nine floors of the manor!" Lelu said in the exact same tone as Starfire.
"Yeah, we have extra rooms, work out rooms, science rooms, medical and healing rooms, spare bedrooms, and any other type of room you could imagine!" Evline told the Titans, flipping her golden bangs out of the way.
"Really, do you have a… mediation room?" Raven asked, intrigued, but keeping her curiosity to her basic monotonous tone.
"Of course…" Crüsh answered, in the same monotonous as how Raven talks, except more masculine, "I've got to keep the dark powers within me under control."
"So, you know meditation?" Raven asked, suddenly really interested in Crüsh. Crüsh lead Raven up the stairways, as Lelu and Starfire went into the kitchen.
"Do you enjoy cooking Starfire?" Lelu asked Starfire.
"Indeed friend Lelu! I love making delicacies from my home planet of Tamberon!" Starfire replied, "do you know how to cultivate fungus?" Back to the main area, Beast Boy and Cyborg tried hitting it off with the members from The Elements Team.
"So…," Beast Boy started as he slid over to Lexsis, the girl with purple hair, "are you the element of lightning?"
"Yup, what do you do?" Lexsis asked. Allen walked over to them.
"Well, I'm a changeling! I can morph into any animal!" Beast Boy said. Lexsis suddenly seemed interested, as was Allen.
"Can you turn into an ermine?" Lexsis asked, very excited. Allen watched Beast Boy as well, interested at this green figure.
"Sure can!" Beast Boy said, not able to resist saying "no" to a pretty girl. Beast Boy turned into an ermine, a jumped into Lexsis's arms. Lexsis started laughing.
"That is so awesome Beast Boy!" Lexsis said as Beast Boy jumped down and resumed human form.
"So, you can literally turn into any animal? Can you turn into alien animals, or mythological ones?" Allen asked, interested in Beast Boy's powers. Beast Boy was besieged, no one ever was so fascinated in him, well maybe except for Terra.
"Well, I've turned into an alien animal before, but I don't know abut mythological ones…" Beast Boy told Lexsis and Allen as they walked over to the couch and continued talking.
"Yo, how is he suddenly a ladies man!" Cyborg asked, astounded at BB's luck. Evline laughed, surprising Cyborg at how close she was to him.
"I'm guessing a little jealousy factor there? Or are you two just competing?" Evline asked, cracking Cyborg in half. Cyborg was really into Evline.
"Yeah, we're best buds!" Cyborg said.
"So, I'm also guessing you like mechanics!" Evline asked. Cyborg looked at her, she was two for two!
"Of course, you like mechanics!" Cyborg asked. Evline nodded. Cyborg was happy; he finally met someone who liked mechanics like himself.
"The garage is right this way!" Evline said, leading Cyborg past Beast Boy, Lexsis, and Allen and into a door on the western side of the floor. All that was left in the door way was Thor and Robin.
"That is so awesome that everyone is getting along! I mean, even Crüsh is happy by your visit, which is weird, he is never happy!" Thor said to Robin, hoping Robin would relieve some pressure that is locked in his head.
"Yeah, it is great," Robin said quickly and obstinately. Thor just looked at him in disbelief since he wasn't happy for his team.
"So how has life been since we last saw you?" Thor asked. Robin cringed; Thor guessed he hit a sore spot.
"Not much. Where are your spare bedrooms, I need to do some stuff," Robin asked Thor, eager to go into hiding again.
"Ummmm, sure you don't want to just hang out with everyone? Everyone else is, you need to unwind man, and you really need it! I remember last time you were here…" Thor started, before Robin walked over to him, and in a really quiet voice that only Thor could hear,
"I don't care Thor. I need to catch Slade, and I'll leave my team behind if I need to. And don't mention I was here before, I don't want the other Titans knowing everything about why I was here, all right?" he told Thor. Robin backed away and waited for Thor to react. Thor just looked at him his frozen blue eyes.
"Fine, I'll show you to your room," Thor said, leading Robin up the stairs. Thor stopped at the closest spare room, which was on the second floor, the first door to the right. Robin looked down the hall, seeing it dimly lit with a staircase to the right at the very end, obviously leading to the third floor. Thor opened the door, and kept it open for Robin to walk through.
"If you need anything, don't feel a need to ask!" Thor said friendly, hoping for some sort of response from Robin. Robin just ignored him and walked in, closing the door forcefully behind him.
"Well, he certainly changed since we last talked," Thor said to himself, then walking back down the stairway. Lelu and Starfire were on their way up as Thor was heading down.
"And I shall show you my vacuum, and my pet anteater Anters!" Lelu started talking to Starfire, who was listening intently, before Starfire noticed Thor.
"Hello new friend Thor, where is Robin?" asked Starfire to Thor.
"Oh, he is in his room already, said he needed to do something!" Thor said happily, and putting on a false smile.
"Is all well Thor?" Lelu asked him. Thor was kind of surprised by the question.
"Oh, yeah! Of course!" Thor said, and then continued down the stairway to the first floor.
Towerin Oil Plantation…
Slade slowly walked up to the oil plantation. He had finally got there from jumping around the city. The oil plant was atop a hill a little into the forest from the suburbs. Slade leisurely walked to the front doors and smashed the doors wide open.
"Well, easy so far! And no sign of the Titans, or Elements…" Slade said, turning around and checking the city once more, making sure no one was watching. Slade then turned back around and went into the gloomy plant. Slade walked for some time before finding a door in the basement that had the words "Power Source" encrypted on it.
"Finally…" Slade stated quietly and victorious. Slade opened the door and went into the dismal room. Nothing could be seen in the dark room, but this didn't stop Slade. Slade suddenly ignited his hands, with flames came out of and light the dark room. Slade looked around before finding a strange machine that looked like a furnace. Slade gradually walked over to it, and extinguished one of his hands.
"Finally, the last orb is mine…," Slade said as he opened a small door. Slade suddenly opened his eyes wide. Inside the small door was… nothing at all.
"What?" Slade yelled angrily, "This is where the last orb is to sleep!"
"Really, sounds interesting!" a voice came from the darkness to Slade's ears. Slade looked around, not seeing anyone.
"Well, it looks like you are a very good master of disguise, why don't you show yourself? You seem interested by the tone of your voice…" Slade said blindly into the darkness. Suddenly a figure jumped to the ground behind Slade, who immediately turned around, fists of flames ready. What surprised Slade was what was waiting for him. He faced a teenager with fists of flames also, almost Slade's height, Blaze.
"I'm guessing you are looking for this!" Blaze said, extinguishing a hand, and holding a black spherical glass orb, about that size of a baseball.
"Yes, that would be what I'm looking for…" Slade narrowed his eyes down at the teen, "what are you hoping to accomplish with it?"
"Well, nothing, except find out your plans," Blaze told Slade, unafraid.
"I believe that is none of your business!" Slade told Blaze, but Blaze didn't easily give up.
"I've meet the Titans Slade, I know all about your past with them!" Blaze said. Slade narrowed his eyes down further at the teen.
"Now why would you care about such information?" Slade asked.
"Because, the Titans asked me earlier about you. I didn't know, but I quickly found out and found you. I guessed this is what you were looking for, looks like I got it exactly right!" Blaze said, still holding the sphere.
"Really, are you an element then?" Slade asked, still having his fists aflame and pointed straight at the teen who wasn't flinching at all.
"Yes, I am an element, but not part of that silly team they have. I'm my own force to recon with; the element of fire doesn't lose easily!" Blaze told Slade. Slade suddenly sounded intrigued.
"So, you are the enemy against The Elements? What are you offering then, I'm curious?" Slade asked the teen, lowering his fists and putting them behind his back, extinguished them.
"Let me in on your plans, because I want to get back at The Elements for what they've done to me in recent years, foiling my every plan. I hear you work good with destroy people, and making people suffer, such as the Titans. If we join forces Slade, we can get rid of those annoying Titans and Elements at the same time!" Blaze offered towards Slade. Slade thought about it for a few minutes, eyeing the teen over a few times.
"You seem strong… and you are unafraid, standing up to me! I like you! I think this can work out…" Slade told the teen.
"Well then, to get this sphere then, you have to let me in on your plans!" Blaze told Slade.
"You are diabolical aren't you? Well, hand over the sphere first, let's see if you can trust me first, if you can't, then this won't work!" Slade told the teen. Blaze was pretty surprised. But, he handed over the sphere anyways. Slade took the sphere and looked down at Blaze.
"All right, with these spheres that I have collected, I'm going to raise my master from his crypt. He shall once again wash this world over in darkness…" Slade told Blaze, who was listening intently.
"So, who or what is you master? And where is his crypt?" Blaze asked, "and how many more spheres are need to wake him?"
"Silly boy, I have collected all the spheres needed to open the first door!" Slade said, revealing three spheres, the black one he just got, a red one and a blue sphere.
"The first door?" Blaze asked Slade.
"Yes boy, there are three doors necessary to open the crypt and unleash my master, collecting all three spheres and enclosing them within the first door opens it!" Slade told Blaze.
"And your master can lay waste to the Titans and Elements? What exactly is your master? Is he a magician or demon or something?" Blaze asked, very interested in Slade's plan.
"He is a force not to reckon with!" Slade simply said.
Back in Elements Manor…
Robin looked out the window towards the city. He was in a very nice room; a double bed was sitting against a wall with a closet on the other wall. A few pictures of some landscapes hung up from around the room. Robin collapsed to his bed, wondering what to do next. What was Slade planning, where was he? So many question filled Robin's mind. What was he supposed to do about his teammates who seemed to be more concerned about making friends with this new team rather then catching and stopping Slade? Suddenly there was a knock on the door; Robin quickly got up and walked over to the door. He opened it to see Starfire standing there holding a tray with a sandwich and juice.
"Hello Robin, may I come in?" Starfire said very happily, hoping to boost Robin's mood. Robin just stared at her for a few seconds, and then finally answered.
"Sure, come on in." Robin said, opening the door for Starfire to come in. He closed it behind her, gently. Starfire put the tray on a nightstand next to the bed that had a lamp on it.
"I brought you something to eat, just in case you were hungry…" Starfire said, tuning to Robin. Robin thanked her but just kept looking out the window.
"Robin, I can sense something else is wrong then just you wishing to catch Slade… please tell me." Starfire said gently, walking over and sitting ext to Robin on the bed and looked out the window with him.
"I'm fine." Robin said quickly, not letting Starfire to get a counter in.
"Robin… you've always told me that no one on this team will be replaced, but I feel you have been replaced Robin! We don't see the fun, enjoyable Robin anymore! You are as secluded in your head as Raven, and you don't let anyone even get close! Please tell me what is wrong. I promise I shall not tell the others. How come this new team has known about you?" Starfire asked. She just watched Robin, who didn't seem to move.
"I'm sorry Starfire, but right now just isn't the right time to tell you about my experiences with The Elements. Other then that, I'm just trying to figure out what Slade is planning. It just doesn't make sense for him to strike three separate oil plantation. There was got to be something that he wants within them." Robin told Starfire.
"Agreed Robin, but if you allow all of us to hear your thoughts, one of us might conclude to a solution that could help greatly!" Starfire said. Robin still ignored it. Starfire thought of what else to say, before a knock on the door was heard again. Robin got up and went over to it and opened it. Standing there was Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Raven. Robin seemed surprised.
"All right dude, you are going to tell us what is wrong, and we're not letting you out of this room until you tell us!" Beast Boy said playfully, putting on a smile. Cyborg walked into the room.
"Yeah, so get your butt over here and tell us what is wrong!" Cyborg said friendly, as Raven and Beast Boy walked into the room as well, Robin closing the door behind them.
"Please Robin; tell your friends what is on your mind. If you do not wish to tell about The Elements, please do not feel pressured, but at least tell them what you just told me…" Starfire said towards Robin. Robin finally felt strong enough to tell them. Robin told the team what he just told Starfire.
"Maybe it is something each oil plantation carries, like some type of oil that is rare or something!" Cyborg said once Robin was done.
"But why would Slade need that?" Raven asked.
"See Robin, all you needed to do is tell us this! Look how quickly we are thinking about something that Slade might be planning!" Starfire told Robin.
"But, we still don't have anything!" Robin said, then thinking again.
"Maybe one of the elements knows?" Beast Boy asked.
"No, we still don't want to have them involved with this. They have nothing to do with Slade. We just need to keep this between us!" Robin told his team.
"All right, but don't think to hard about it!" Beast Boy said, getting up from sitting on the frame of the bed.
"Yeah, we'll continue thinking about it to!" Cyborg said, "I'll try and use their computer to do research."
"All right team, let's talk more tomorrow, that is when we're going for Slade!" Robin said as the other Titans left the room. Beast Boy was the last to leave and as he left the room, he immediately ran into Lexsis, literally.
"Oh, hey Lexsis!" Beast Boy said, trying to play off hitting Lexsis.
"Hey, we're looking for you guys!" Lexsis said.
"Really? Didn't I do something wrong or something?" Beast Boy flirted with Lexsis. Lexsis laughed.
"No, but we thought you Titans might like to learn a little about us Elements, seeing as you look pretty confused about our powers!" she said.
"Ummmm, sure!" Beast Boy told her. She seemed excited and led Beast Boy down the stairwell to the main living room. There he saw the other Titans (except Robin, of course) waiting for him. Lexsis got them down there and sat Beast Boy down between Raven and Cyborg.
"All right, I'm guessing Robin isn't coming down?" Thor asked excited. All of the Titans just shacked their heads "no", "Thought so…" stated Thor.
"Anyways, any questions before we start?" asked Evline. The Titans looked at each other.
"Ummmm, don't questions come at the end?" Beast Boy asked. Lexsis simply laughed.
"Ummmm, I guess I have a question!" Cyborg said, "What elements are to two?" he asked, pointing to Thro and Evline.
"Yeah, I was kind of wondering the same thing, I mean I know Crüsh is water, Allen is wind, Lelu is earth, and Lexsis is lightning," Raven said with her arms folded.
"Well, it starts somewhere I guess," Evline said, "Well, I'm the element of light, and Thor is the element of darkness!" The Titans seemed suddenly surprised.
"I didn't know elements of darkness and light existed!" Raven said, astounded.
"Yup, but most people think of them more as the elements of Yin and Yang, but we are darkness and light!" Thor said.
"So, how many elements are there? I believe I thought there was only four…" Starfire asked. The Elements all looked at each other.
"Well," began Crüsh, talking for once in his dull tone, "lots of people think there are only four elements. But, truth is, many more exist. Water, Wind, Fire, and Earth are the ones that "gave birth" to the other elements that exist now!"
"Yeah, there are also the elements of darkness, light, lightning, thunder, and metal!" Allen continued on.
"Who controls thunder and metal?" Cyborg asked, wondering what the element of metal is like. Crüsh continued again with his dull voice.
"Lasson, Lexsis's sister, is element of thunder. Cedric is the element of metal."
"Where are they?" asked Beast Boy. He was curious at this Lasson character. Cyborg wanted to meet this Cedric character.
"They are travel around with each other and with two of our other friends, who can't control elements, but have powers anyways." Evline told them.
"So, there is a total of 9 elements?" asked Beast Boy, trying to remember all the members.
"Yup, 9 elements that makes up the balance of the world. And it old prophecies, it says only 9 exist." Thor said. The Titans just stared in partial amazement.
"You guys are weird," Raven said in a playful but dull tone. Suddenly, a horrible noise was heard through the manor, some sort of siren. The room started flashing red as well as the alarms had activated.
"What is going on?" Beast Boy asked. The other Titans had gotten to their feet, and Robin was running down the stairwell.
"Look like we have trouble in the city!" said Evline, turning to the TV screen behind her and typing some stuff in. A picture of Slade suddenly appeared on screen. Robin was suddenly shocked, the Elements had just found out about Slade escaping into the Towerin.
"Looks like someone named Slade just stole something from the oil plantation on the south side of Towerin…" Thor stated. The Titans looked at each other.
"Don't worry, we've got this!' Robin said, hoping the Elements agreed. But, to his misfortune, they looked at him strangely.
"Why would we want to miss out of the fun!" Evline asked. She stared at Robin. Robin tried thinking of some excuse.
"Dude, we already know Slade is from Jump City and your bad guy, but we don't want to miss out of the action!" Thor stood up to Robin.
"No, you can't go; you don't know him like us! He is really dangerous!" Robin said. Thor was about to talk back, not to nicely either, before a "bling" sound was heard from the TV screen. Evline typed something in, and another pop-up appeared that made everyone gasp with horror.
