All right, welcome to the begging of The Elemental Titans! Lots of past events come into focus for some characters, which I'll be adding into the bio sections! Hope you enjoy the next chapter! I don't own Teen Titans, but I do own Towerin, and The Elements Team (including Lasson, Cedric, Nora, Alyson, and Blaze)
Chapter 6- The Begging of The Elemental Titans
It was a clear and sunny day in Towerin. Clouds lazily rolled across the blue skies, as the city was a buzz with action. People were out and about, and people were all driving to work, or to the beach to enjoy such a beautiful day. From above, a green crow flew above the beach, wishing we could enjoy the day as well. The green crow continued on and flew to the same skyscraper they fought Blaze earlier that night and resumed human form.
"I've got nothing…" Beast Boy said into his communicator, which contacted to Thor and Robin back in Elements Manor. They were busy at work trying to find Slade and Blaze over the computer with trackers, with no luck.
"That isn't surprising, we don't have anything either, it is like those two just disappeared into thing air!" Thor said back towards Beast Boy, as he was just speaking his wind. Robin was looking at something in a file folder next to Thor.
"All right, we'll contact you if we get any new info," Thor said as he closed out Beast Boy's communication. He then turned over to Robin, "What'cha looking at Robin?"
"Well, I have a hunch about who Slade might being trying to revive," Robin told Thor over his shoulder, not turning around to look at him and keeping his eyes on the files he was flipping through rather quickly.
"Really? Who do you think?" Thor asked. He watched Robin work a little longer. It took a little while for Robin to respond.
"I'm not totally sure if I'm right, so I rather not say what he is trying to revive, I'm going to wait until I'm totally sure." Robin told Thor eventually. Thor seemed surprised that he actually got an answer from Robin. Thor computed the information.
"Wait, what do you mean "what" he is trying to revive? Isn't he trying to revive someone? Or free someone or something?" Thor asked. Robin got up, looking through a file. He closed it and closed the file folders as well. He had apparently found what he wanted.
"Well if my hunch is right, he isn't looking to free anyone at all, he is looking for something much worse!" Robin said, leaving up the staircase with the file he just found.
"Sounds interesting, if you need any help, I'll be down here all day!" Thor said, friendly towards Robin, hoping to open him up a little. Robin actually flickered a quick grin.
"Don't worry, I will!" Robin said and continued up the stairway. Thro was a little stunned by his response, but was happy Robin seemed to be coming around. He then turned around back to the giant TV screen that also doubled as their computer screen. He pressed a button with a weird communicator symbol encrypted on it. Suddenly, the location of all the Titans and Elements appeared on a map of Towerin. Beast Boy was watching around the ocean area with Allen and Lexsis. Raven and Crüsh were up north near the forest looking around. Starfire and Lelu were to the east, near the forest and city edge. Evline and Cyborg seemed to be driving in the heart of Towerin. It looked like they were heading back towards the oil plantation to look for possible clues of what those strange orbs Slade and Blaze managed to successfully take.
Near the beach, Allen and Lexsis were interviewing people and questioning them about strange appearances or shady characters. No one helped out as they all said "no". They were getting a little frustrated, but it was expected. Beast Boy was still up on the roof of the skyscraper looking around out in the ocean, looking for anything suspicious. Lexsis flew up behind him.
"Nothing new yet?" she asked her new green friend.
"Hey Lexsis, noting yet. What do you think Slade wanted with those orbs?" Beast Boy asked. Lexsis laughed,
"Isn't that Robin's job to think about?" Beast Boy laughed a little. They had really got to know each other since they first meet.
"I really don't think Slade and Blaze would have gone into the ocean, do you?" asked Beast Boy. Lexsis shook her head in agreement.
"I wouldn't see why they would go there, but we have the whole city under watch, so you never know!" Lexsis said, watching the people down on the beach enjoying the day.
"So, what was your past like Lexsis? You seem to know a lot about Blaze…" Beast Boy asked. Lexsis continued looking down at the beach.
"Well…" she said, "me and my sister came to Towerin one night. She left me alone for a few hours, well that is what it was supposed to be anyways, and never came back. I thought she wanted to be away from me, but later I learned Blaze had captured her. I found The Elements and asked to help them get revenge on Blaze, but it backfired and I ended up getting trapped and he forced me to do his bidding. Later, Thor made a deal with Blaze, which freed me but then Thor became Blaze's lackey. We freed him, but Blaze just kept coming, and soon he used Lasson, my sister, to attack us. He stopped him and she came out of his control, but she left with her three other friends and traveled the world. I stayed her, because I never knew a home besides the Elements…" Beast Boy watched carefully as she told him about her past. He kind of felt bad for asking her that question and making her go back over that rough history.
"So, you've never had anyone besides your sister to rely on?" Beast Boy asked. Lexsis shook her head,
"No, I have the team now to help look out for me, and I have you now!" Lexsis said happily. Her purple hair blew in the breeze that was coming from the ocean front. Beast Boy laughed, happy that Lexsis trusted her.
"Thanks for trusting me Beast Boy…" she said quietly. Beast Boy blushed a little. He remembered about Terra, and the same thing she had said to him that Lexsis just did.
"So what about you?" Lexsis asked turning to him. Beast Boy thought about all the times with the Titans, and the times before then, when he went with his parents to different countries and studied animals.
"Well, I've been with the Titans forever it seems like! But before I joined, I was just normal. But once when I went to Africa, I was bit by a strange monkey and contracted this strange disease that allows me to turn into any animal. It also gave me green skin and hair… but after words, I joined the Titans and helped fight with them." Beats Boy told her, who listened closely. Lexsis laughed.
"I don't know, I kind of like the green hair!" Lexsis said, giving a big smile. Beast Boy laughed, he hadn't felt this way since Terra was around.
"So, how is life with the Titans, and in Jump City?" Lexsis asked. She seemed to want to know everything about him and the Titans.
"It's pretty kewl! I mean, Titans Tower is awesome; the city is so fun, really big. Not to mention, we have all the tofu you can eat!" Beast Boy said, laughing. Lexsis laughed with him.
"You sure do know how to charm a girl!" Lexsis said friendly and jokingly. Beast Boy suddenly remembered when Terra said that to, when they sat under the moon on Titans Island the first night they meet. Lexsis and BB continued looking out into the ocean, letting the wind blow their hair and on their face. They enjoyed each others company. But before to long, a really large wind gust blew from behind them. They both looked behind them, where Allen gave a friendly smirk, as he was the source of the wind gust.
"Hey lazy bums, let's get back to searching for Slade and Blaze!" Allen said playfully. Lexsis laughed, and got up.
"I'll see you later Beast Boy!" She said as she flew into the air with Allen and they flew back into the city. Beast Boy watched them go before he got up and turned into a crow again, and flew off the skyscraper.
Robin was in this guest bedroom, sitting on his bed ready to open the file folder he grabbed from the lower living room. He breathed out slowly, and opened it, hoping it wasn't what he thought. He went trough lots of papers, looking around for something. Finally, he came to a document that he grabbed and leaned back and started reading. It was a news article from a newspaper a few years ago written by a Jump City Newspaper.
"The Teen Wonder Robin, and The Elements saved the world from a life threatening force. They worked together to destroy a demon that tried to destroy the world. The teens bravely evacuated the city and saved many people from certain death if they stayed. The demon was locked away in a crypt far in the mountain ranges of Towerin. The city is ordered for rebuilding after the destructive force wreaked havoc, and for The Elements Team to be built a manor for thanks." Robin read the article. He though to himself,
"No, it isn't the demon that attacked us years ago; it has got to e something else…" Robin thought to himself. He was very deep in his studies at this point, that he forgot where he was, not that he really cared at that moment anyway. He knew it couldn't be the demon Slade was trying to revive, because they destroyed him before locking him in. Suddenly, Robin found another paper under a stack, he apparently missed.
"What is this?" Robin asked, pulling out the paper from under the stack of parchments. He read it over,
"Deep within the jungles of South America, scientists recently discovered a temple devoted to the spiritual elements that make up the world. Many people recognize such elements as the team of teens living in Towerin. What is strange, to the scientists though, is that they only believed nine to exist. But the scientists recovered a stone slab located deep within the temple, that was an ancient writing on it, but the scientists were able to make out some of the writing. It suggested a tenth element living on Earth somewhere. The slab also suggested that this tenth element was a strange element, and that its element was unclassified. The scientists were unable to understand much more then that, but another twenty to thirty lines have yet to be deciphered."
Robin checked the date this was printed. It reported that it was a few years ago, Robin wondered if ay more headway had been made at discovering this strange slab. He left his room, and headed back downstairs.
"Thor!" he said. Thor turned around from his working spot at the computer.
"Yeah?" he asked. Robin walked over to him, and handed Thor the report. Thor looked it over.
"Do you know anything about this?" Robin asked. Thor finished the article. He had a strange face on.
"No, I've never heard about this before, I don't even know how this got in that folder, because I didn't put it in there. Sounds… strange…" Thor said puzzled.
"I also found this!" Robin said, handing over the article about the demon and The Elements stopping it.
"I remember this!" Thor said! He read over the part about it being locked in the crypt, "Wait, do you think this is what Slade wants to unleash the demon again?"
'No, because it was destroyed while it was locked into the crypt, so he couldn't possibly be trying to revive a destroyed force." Robin told Thor. Thor looked puzzled some more.
"Maybe, he is trying to find this tenth element! I mean, it said it was unclassified!" Thor suggested.
"True, but he already has Blaze, why would he want another kid running around with him? I mean, the tenth element, if there even is one, could just be some weak element that everyone just built to much anticipation around it!" Robin also suggested. Thor thought long and hard.
"True, because the elements go in a cycle. We all die at the same time, and are born back with a span of three years from each other. I mean, Allen and Crüsh are 18, me and Evline are 17, and Lelu and Lexsis are 16. So it has to be somewhere around that age, which makes you ask why Slade and Blaze want him or her." Thor said.
"Well then, we need to figure out where both crypts are! I know the crypt we locked the demon in is in the mountains east of here, but they said they have no idea where the tenth teen element is sleeping!" Robin said.
"Right, but that could be anywhere in the world! Where do we even start looking?" Thor asked.
"On the internet, we need to see if these people have discovered anymore news about this slab. Because that article is a few years old," Robin said, jumping into a chair next to Thor and typing something into the computer. A page about the discovery came up.
"Looks… old…" Thor said. Robin checked the date last updated. A few days after the newspaper article was printed.
"Well that is helpful…" Robin said, as he and Thor pondered more about what Slade could be planning, now that new clues were in the works.
Cyborg and Evline made their way through the oil plantation, looking for where Slade acquired the sphere. They were in the basement, but hadn't found the doorway leading towards the power room, but they were making their way around anyways. Suddenly, Cyborg got a message through his…arm.
"Yeah?" Cyborg asked into the communicator built into his arm. Evline stopped and waiting up for him, amazed at the cyborg that was Cyborg. Robin was on the other end.
"We think we might have a lead, but we don't want to say anything yet, but if you find anything suspicious, make sure to report it to us!" Robin said. Cyborg nodded, and turned the communicator off.
"Okay, so we have to look things suspicious… aren't we doing that all ready?" Evline joked. Cyborg laughed,
"Yeah, but Robin does that anyways, tells you hundreds of time to do something!" Cyborg told her. Evline cringed,
"I don't know if I could live with someone like that!" Evline said. Cyborg laughed again.
"I'm not how I live with it either!" he said. They continued on. Evline finally turned her head over and noticed the door to the power room.
"I'm guessing that is where Slade and Blaze found the sphere…" Evline said, walking over to the door. Cyborg followed her. They opened the door, and looked for a light switch.
"No mean these people didn't build lights in this room? What were they thinking?" Evline asked. Cyborg got his shoulder light on, right as Evline light her hands with her light disks, both of their powers combined to make the room very bright.
"Okay, so were would the sphere thingy be if Slade hadn't toke it?" Cyborg asked, walking into the room. Evline walked in as well, her powers still activated o she could see. She looked around the room, not finding anything. Cyborg went over the furnace looking machine, were he saw that a little metal door had been burned open.
"I think I just found where it was…" Cyborg said, looking inside seeing it was big enough to fit one of the spheres.
"Okay, so anything suspicious in this place?" Evline asked. Cyborg looked around as did Evline, finding nothing.
"Wait a second…" Evline said in the darkness. Cyborg looked over to her. Evline was holding one of her hands in the air, keeping it light with her light powers, but she was looking at something on a table with her other.
"What is it Ev?" Cyborg asked. He walked over as well, looking at what appeared to be a map, not before getting an awkward smile from Evline first. On the map was Towerin, which was circled in a black circle. A blue line connected Towerin with Jump City, which went straight north for about a foot on the map. A blue circle was around Jump City, and a red line connected that with Steel City, which was south east of Jump City, but the line connected about a foot still. A red circle was around Steel City, and a black line connected with Towerin which was about a foot south west on the map. Between all the lines was a large triangle, and in the middle of the triangle was another circle, it looked penciled.
"Where that circle is, it is the top of the Deltonic Mountain, the mountain between all three cities." Evline said.
"And someone circled where each of the spheres Slade collected were from. So, this map just told us that something is on Mount Deltonic!" Cyborg said. Evline gave him a high five as she collected the map and they walked out of the dark room.
A Little East of Deltonic Mountain…
Lasson was flying quickly through the air, Cedric was flying on his floating metal plate, and Nora and Alyson were floating on a second one, provided by Cedric.
"What would the Teen Titans be doing down in Towerin?" asked Lasson. The others seemed as confused as she was.
"Do you think something happened and they had to go down there?" Nora asked. Alyson replied,
"Well, what if The Elements needed help with something?" she asked. They all thought about all the possibilities of why the Titans were with the Elements. Suddenly, an explosion was heard and the four friends looked down. An explosion had just erupted next to the base of Deltonic Mountain, and the smoke rose into the sunny sky. The four decided to go check out what was causing all the problems. They landed in the forest and walked through the thick jungle of trees. They saw that the smoke had stopped, but some dust was still floating around ahead of them. They continued forward, stepping over rocks, logs, and fallen over trees.
"Who are they?" asked Cedric as they stepped into a clearing where the dust had just settled, reveling Slade and Blaze standing in front of the mouth to a cave, that seemed to lead towards Deltonic Mountain, which rose quite high above them.
"BLAZE!" they yelled in unanimity due to surprise. Blaze turned around, surprised by who we saw.
"Eleme… wait… you're not The Titans and Elements! Oh, lookie here, it is Lasson and her friends!" Blaze said, as he figured out who she was.
"What are you doing now Blaze?" asked Lasson, her hands in fists, which were know glowing a light colored blue.
"Yeah, and who is your ugly looking friend there?" Alyson asked, talking about Slade. Slade just narrowed his eyes at her by that last comment.
"We're kind of busy here ladies and guy!" Blaze said, igniting his hands with fire. Cedric's eyes started glowing an orange color as his hands started glowing the same color. Alyson just had her hands in a fist, ready for action. Nora had her hands glowing with green light. Blaze looked over to Slade, who took his hands out from being cross-armed. Blaze jumped over towards the four and swiped his fire hands, which shot out a cut of fire. Lasson and Cedric flew into the air, avoiding the attack, but Nora and Alyson were sent into trees, with a hard crash. Lasson shot her blue hands outward, which caused a thunderous sound to be heard as she blasted out a light blue blast and sent it towards Blaze. Blaze did an air cartwheel and avoided the attack. Cedric jumped off his levitating metal plate and landed on a tree branch, then controlled the metal plate down towards Slade and Blaze. Blaze jumped out of the way, but Slade was a little more taken aback and was hit with the plate. He quickly recovered his dignity, and shot a fire blast out of his hands at the tree trunk. Cedric controlled the metal plate back towards him and jumped back on it, as the blast smashed into the tree, making it collapse.
Lasson shot her hands outward about six more times. Loud noises were heard as multiple thunder blasts smashed into the ground near Slade and Blaze. Slade avoided the attacks, but Blaze was hit hard by one, sending him into a wall of the cave that was outside.
"You'll pay for that one!" Blaze said, his fire on his hands extending up his elbows. Slade was already dealing with Alyson, as she was controlling wood pieces to send them towards Slade, smacking onto him. Alyson then controlled the tree Slade had previously knocked down and smashed Slade with it. Slade was buried by the tree, but he shot his hands out, blasting the free with a fire blast, sending the tree into the air and smashing back down, giving Slade enough time to make his way out of the wooden trap. Nora then came up behind Slade and shot a green blast with her hands at him. Slade was sent flying into another tree, but quickly recovered. Suddenly, Slade was floating in the air due to another force, and then send into the cave wall Blaze had just smashed into, hard. Cedric had a smirk on his face, seeing he could control Slade since we was wearing metal.
Lasson suddenly came floating down to Blaze and shot a thunder blast straight at him, sending him back into the same stone wall he was just sent into earlier. Nora shot multiple blasts to where they were recovering, blasting them more into the cave wall. Alyson smashed another tree on top of them. The four friends stopped their attacks at the thought of success. Suddenly, Blaze heated the heat particles round him and delivered a powerful heat release that blasted everything within a twenty foot radius, including the four powerful teens. They feel hard against the dirt ground, and Slade and Blaze rose from where they were bombarded by attacks.
"Looks like we win again! I think we're pretty unstoppable!" Blaze said, triumphantly. Slade gave him a glare.
"Don't get to cocky Blaze. The Titans are stronger then have showed, and I'm guessing The Elements haven't shown there full force either. They are growing stronger by the minutes, so best prepare yourself!" Slade said, looking at the four teens in front of the, knocked out by such a powerful blast.
"What do we do with them?' Blaze asked. Slade thought for a few seconds.
"Actually, they are going to prove quite useful to our plans!" Slade said, as we walked over and looked at the unconscious teens, "Yes, especially these two!" Slade said again, looking at Lasson and Cedric.
Back in Towerin, Evening…
Crüsh and Raven floated back towards Elements Manor through the sky which was a bright yellow, due to the sunset. They were floating straight over the city from the cliffs they were scanning all day.
"What do you think Thor wanted?" Raven asked Crüsh, Raven's hood on, shadowing her face.
"Maybe they found something while we were out!" Crüsh said in the monotonous voice, "maybe they want to share it with us now?"
"Maybe… so yeah do you have to meditate?" Raven asked, trying to make conversation of their flight home.
"Well, about two years ago my step brother and sister cam to visit. My brother was older, my sister was younger. Anyways, my brother tried to destroy me, but I backfired and stopped him. The only way to stop him though, was to trap him within this…" Crüsh said, pulling out his necklace, which Raven finally got to see his pendant. It was a mixture between a black and blue tiger, with evil red eyes.
"Is that your brother's influence that makes it like that?" Raven asked. Crüsh nodded "yes."
"But he did succeed in putting dark particles within me, so I have to meditate with Thor to keep them under control, otherwise my brother could escape and try to destroy me again." Crüsh continued on. Raven was pretty interested in his story.
"What about you?" Crüsh asked, looking over to Raven. She sighed under her shadowed face and started telling Crüsh about Trigon, and his demonic ways. She seemed to finish right in time, as they were at Elements Manor now. They walked inside, and saw everybody else waiting for them.
"Sorry we're late…" Raven said as they walked in. Thor and Robin were up waiting for everyone, and as Raven and Crüsh sat down, they started.
"Okay everyone, I think we found out what Slade is really after!" Thor said. Robin nodded and took over from there,
"All right, by the map Cyborg and Evline found, we saw that the three cities that were circled," up on the computer screen, the map that Cy and Evline found earlier showed up, "the colors represent where each sphere was found! And the star in between each city, Deltonic Mountain, is where Slade is reviving his "master." We have to stop Slade from unleashing his "master." Robin finished.
"Only problem is, we have two guesses on who Slade is trying to revive. Except in Deltonic Mountain is where the demon was sealed, but we're thinking Slade is trying to find the tenth element!" Thor said.
"I thought that was just a myth, they never confirmed there was actually a tenth one though!" Evline said.
"Yeah, but I think he is trying to see if it is true or not!" Robin said. The other Titans and Elements just looked at each other and murmured.
"But don't worry, we're going to Deltonic Mountain, because we recently got word that there was an explosion there earlier today." Thor said.
"So, do we all promise to work together?" Robin asked. Starfire murmured up.
"Yes Robin, we already work well with each other, it is you that we have been waiting to say that!" Starfire said happily. Robin grinned.
'All right, so, I think it is fitting for us to stop being two separate teams for right now, right?" Robin asked. Everyone agreed.
"Then, we agree to be one big team until this is done?" Thor asked. Everyone agreed again.
'Good," said Robin, "everyone! Welcome to the Elemental Titans!"
