Welcome to the amazing chapter 3 (although its not that good). With my review count going through the roof (a joke, its as low as ever), I've decided to get this story done as quick as possible.
Thank you to the people who have already reviewed me, I greatly appreciate it.
Disclaimer: I don't own the Teen Titans…
The Beast jumped from building to building without any effort, his extra strength and speed giving him his advanced abilities. The Beast needed to get out of the city, or at least find somewhere safe to hide. His instincts told him to find somewhere dark and hidden, preferably underground.
The Beast scaled down the side of the building, as he headed for one of the endless dark alleys that filled the city. As he reached the ground he ripped open the small manhole that led down to the sewer system. Something was telling him that this was a safe place to hide out for a while, before it was dark enough to leave the city safely.
As he descended down to the awaiting darkness his sensitive sense of smell picked up something familiar, the smell of the strange orange female. He quickly jumped down into the sewers and bolted for the nearest dark corner.
Starfire was circling high above the ground in an effort to find her wanted friend before he had the chance to do something. Then she spotted him, or rather she thought she saw him.
"Friends, I think I have found Beast Boy" she cried into the communicator. Swooping down she saw the claw marks on the manhole cover, a definite sign that he had come this way.
"Good job, Star" said Robin "We're homing in on your co-ordinates now"
She only had to wait a few minutes before the rest of the Titans showed up. Cyborg arrived first in his T-car with Robin behind in tow. Raven quickly descended from the skies where she was patrolling for her missing friend. They gathered around the broken manhole that led down to the sewers.
"So…" Cyborg started.
"Um…I'll go in first and you can all back me up, okay?" Robin added nervously. They had already fought Beast Boy in this state before, and it wasn't pretty. They all nodded nervously, except for Raven. She knew if they could calm Beast Boy down then they'd be fine, but with Robin out for a fight then it could only mean trouble.
Robin slowly descended down into the darkness of the sewers, an eerie feeling coming over him. With a brief look around he motioned for the other Titans to follow him down into the sewers. Starfire quickly joined him, floating slowly down with her Star bolts illuminating the tunnel. Raven quickly followed suit an gently floated down to join her comrades. Cyborg, however, with no ability to fly simply jumped down into the dirty waters below.
"Now Titans, the only way to find him is if Raven can sense him, so we'll need to stick in a group" Robin spoke quietly.
"I don't think that would be a good idea" responded Raven as she turned to see her leader. Robin looked stunned with Raven's suggestion. Beast Boy didn't have his communicator and there was no way of finding him without Raven. Besides, Beast Boy had defeated three of them before, and one-on-one was just plain dangerous.
"Look" Raven started before Robin could argue "I can't get an exact location of Beast Boy but I can give some general directions of where he might be. And if we split up then we can find him quicker, then call for back up"
Robin saw sense in her plan, and he had no choice but to comply with her wishes. Sighing, he turned to the others in the darkness.
"Okay, we'll split up. Starfire, you take the east passage over there. Cyborg, you take the west passage down there while Raven will take the south passage down that wa-" he stated but was cut off by Raven.
"I'll take the north passage, Robin, and you take the south passage" she ordered, She knew where Beast Boy was, and she needed to find him first before the others. Robin nodded in reply before turning back to Cyborg and Starfire.
"Remember, you find him don't try to take him on yourselves. Call for back up and update every minute on your whereabouts, got it?" he told them. They all nodded before they went their separate ways.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Cyborg slowly walked down the dark tunnel with his arm already morphed into his cannon. With his friend like this he wasn't going to take any risks.
'Oh man, I hope I don't find him first' he thought to himself. His heavy metal feet were creating too much noise, and the Beast could probably hear him a mile off.
As he walked further down the sewers he could hear a faint snarling from somewhere deep within the sewers.
'I recognise that snarling. Damn, why'd it have to be me who finds him' he thought unhappily. As he continued the snarling grew stronger and stronger as he walked into a small open room. Then suddenly it stopped. Cyborg looked around the space wearily, trying to find any traces of his friend. Suddenly, a large object jumped him from behind, knocking him to the floor. The snarling Beast pinned the mechanical teen to the floor without any effort. Bucking uncontrollably Cyborg managed to angle his arm behind him to take a shot at Beast Boy. Blasting his cannon on his arm he managed to hit his attacker full force in the chest. The Beast was flung back with a loud yelp and hurled into a wall causing a loud crash.
As Cyborg reached up to grab his communicator to contact his team mates the animal jumped across the room with surprising speed and smashed Cyborg into the wall behind him. Dropping the communicator he cursed loudly and attempted to pry the animal off him.
"Get off B.B, there's no need to do this" he shouted while he struggled with the Beast impressive strength. The Beast could only snarl in reply as it quickly slashed at the metal teen, cutting open his chest plate, revealing his wiring in plain view.
"B.B don't!" Cyborg shouted, but to no avail. The Beast had already picked him up and threw him across the room into the broken wall, knocking his friend out. Snarling with satisfaction that his territory was safe, he hurriedly dived into a small alcove further down the tunnel. More intruders were on their way, and he needed to protect himself and his territory.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Raven could feel Beast Boy's anger at their intrusion, an she could sense his fight with Cyborg too. She never knew the Beast was so fast, it had crossed the entire sewer system in about a minute. She had no time to warn Cyborg before he descended upon him, she could only hope that Beast Boy hadn't done too mush damage to their friend.
Slowly but surely, her plan to get hold of Beast Boy first was falling apart, and it only left her friends in danger.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Starfire gently floated down the tunnel, her Star bolts softly illuminating the walls in an eerie green glow. She didn't like the dark tunnels of the sewers, she was more at home in the sunlight. She was slightly afraid of the dark, too many memories of her sister locking her away in dark cupboards for hours.
'I am sure Raven is not afraid of the dark' she told herself 'And I believe Robin is not afraid either' she added.
As she turned a corner she could hear the slight sound of scuttling just in front of her. Fearing it was Beast Boy she threw her Star Blots in panic, sending out a huge explosion as they collided with the wall. In the bright flash she could she they were only rats, or whatever the humans called them. As the echoes died down she heard her communicator go off, the shrill alarm making her jump.
"Starfire, was that you?" asked the voice.
"Yes Robin, it was me" she answered.
"What was that? Are you okay?" Robin asked her.
Starfire could feel herself blush at Robin's protectiveness over her well being. She blushed even harder when she remembered why she had attacked the well…wall.
"There was something scuttling around and I thought that it was Beast Boy, and well I attacked" she told him. She thought she heard a small grunt from Raven over the intercom, but it could be her imagination.
"Was it him?" asked Robin.
"No, it was some…what do you call them…rats?" she finished doubtfully.
"Yes, their called rats, but be careful Star" answered Robin.
"I will" she told him. She could almost see Robin's worried face talking into his communicator.
"Starfire" came Raven's voice filled with urgency.
"What Raven? Is there something the matter?" she asked her gothic friend.
"Beast Boy is heading your way!" cried Raven into the communicator.
"Thank you friend Raven for the adv-" she started but she was cut off by something hitting her from the side.
"Starfire!" shouted Robin through his communicator. He didn't wait for a reply, he simply ran in the direction of his endangered friend.
Raven could sense the pandemonium from were she was, and Starfire was fairing badly. After being blindsided by the Beast she didn't have a chance, and the fight was soon over, another one of her friends had been taken down by Beast Boy. She broke out into a run in an attempt to get to Beast Boy before Robin was. After hurting Starfire, Robin wasn't going to be helpful for her plan now.
'I just hope I get there before something really bad happens' she thought sadly as she quickly made her way towards the upcoming fight.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Robin ran as fast as his legs could go take him, his extra speed fuelled by worry and anger. He was worried about Starfire's safety with Beast Boy on the prowl after them, and his anger towards the green shape shifter. He knew Beast Boy couldn't help it but it still angered him to no ends that he had attacked Starfire. As he got closer he could hear the painful cries of Starfire as something loud crashed, and the occasional roar from Beast Boy. Turning a corner he found himself seeing Beast Boy bodily slam Starfire into the hard stone floor, cracking it and knocking her out cold.
"Starfire!" cried Robin, trying to get a response but none came. Seeing red, he turned angrily to Beast Boy.
"Now it's just you and me" he said angrily, preparing to attack.
That is it for this chapter, I didn't get as far as I hoped to in this story, and the big fight between Robin and Beast Boy is coming soon.
Please Review and tell me what you think. Also, what superheroes do you want to enter the next chapter to fight Beast Boy.
