Breakout
Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans, but I do own Element and al other characters I create.
Element escorted Gizmo and the knocked out Mammoth through the cells of the "special" polices jail, along with the guards and the other Titans. He motioned to the guard carrying Gizmo. "That cell right there looks good for the little squirt, make sure that no kind of technology or probably even metal gets to him, he'll probably use it to somehow get out, got that?"
"Yes sir." He saluted and continued to put Gizmo in the cell that Element mentioned.
Raven and the other Titans turned to stare at Element. "Sir?"
"What?" He turned his head to stare back at the incredulous teens. "I earned a kind of reputation with these guys while I was away, I mean considering all those guys I put in these places. Hey, you guys." He motioned to the gang carrying Mammoth. "Put him in a place designed for those criminals with immense strength."
One of the guards spoke up. "We know, we've handled this one before."
"That didn't stop him from getting out though, did it?"
With their heads bowed, the guards walked off to one of the cells that Element mentioned. While they were moving, Element headed forward, looking at the recent cells that had been filled. After a while he stopped and leaned up against a regular cell with only bars separating the prisoner, obviously one built for someone who wasn't a threat. The other Titans went to see what he was looking at when he started talking. "I see you finally got here, hope you're comfortable, Blazer."
As the Titans got to the cell they stared wide-eyed at the occupant. It was the same guy, just as Element described him, black hair, malice in his eyes, and a sneer on his face, although this time it seemed to be a sneer of hate instead of rebellion. Beast Boy was the first to speak. "Blazer. Dude, I thought that you beat his ass in a different town."
Starfire put a hand on her hand. "It is most confusing."
"Actually, it isn't." Element turned his head to look at the confused teens. "Before I left for Jump City I issued a request to ship this guy here, so that I might be able to get some information out of him, help figure out what was going on."
"Seems like I wasn't the person you got information out of, though, was it?" Blazer lifted his head. "So, who told you my name, was it one of those three idiots who keep trying to get better than me, like Jinx. Speaking of her, here she comes." He stared out of the cell to watch as Jinx was being escorted by Cyborg down the aisle of cells.
Something seemed odd about it to Element, though, something about how they acted around each other. Instead of walking by her or holding her hands behind her back, Cyborg was holding her right hand in his left, like a couple walking through the park. Maybe he's just lax, or something, I mean what would she do now, there's no way to get out. Also the air about them seemed strange, they both seemed calm, and was that happy? If it was it was only a little, although it could just be nothing, they both just seemed relaxed around each other. I'll think about this later, when I can get some straight thoughts, maybe after meditation.
Element turned back to the cell. "Yeah, it was one of those three, but enough about that info. You lied to me, I asked who sent you, you said no one, why did you lie."
Blazer muttered under his breath. "So they told him about that too, huh, Blood will here about this."
"What's that?" Element spoke back. "Did I hear you say Blood will here about this? Don't count on this, you aint getting out of here in a long time, and looking at the fact you don't have your little arm on, I doubt you'll be able to break out, either."
Blazer launched himself at the bars towards Element, slamming against them. He clutched at the bars as he stared face to face at the unflinching teen. "Looks like you and me are in a close quarters, I could have my hands around your neck in no time and ransom my way out, what do you have to say about that?"
Element was unimpressed. "I say you're a really good bluffer, or just an incredible idiot, and since I fought you before, I'd have to say the latter. You and I both know that without your little arm your nothing, and I could take you out in a second. So if you want to actually try your idea, go ahead." Then, in a whispered voice. "It won't be my fault if you not only no longer have your robotic arm but your real one, too."
Blazer was silent at this as his face drew back a little so that the two weren't so close. After a while of trying to stare the other down Cyborg came up, obviously just done with putting Jinx away. While he was approaching he seemed to be wiping something off of his right cheek.
Element broke the stare-down and turned his head to look at Cyborg, once again noticing that something seemed odd. "So, you got Jinx locked up?"
"Uh, yeah, why else would I be here?"
"Just making sure. What happened when you talked to her alone?"
"Yeah," Blazer cut in with a sneer. "Did the little bitch give you anymore information on us, cause if she did I guess that I'll have to teach her a lesson."
With speed equal to that of Element when he's pissed off, Cyborg shot his hand through the bars, slightly bending them in the process, and grabbed Blazer by the scruff of his neck, hauling him up until he was only a few feet under the ceiling. Cyborg stared into Blazer's eyes with a look of hatred, his robotic eye slightly lit up a little.
Element grabbed Cyborg's arm, trying unsuccessfully to bring it down. "Hey, man, what's wrong with you?"
Cyborg turned his head, seemingly jarred out of something, he dropped Blazer from his height, making him fall down hard to the ground. Blazer scrambled up, dusting off his clothes in the process, and sat down on his cot, a small smile on his face.
Element got in front of Cyborg to block him off from Blazer, in case something happened again. "What just happened there?"
"Oh... um... sorry, I got a little mad, him threatening Jinx like that..." Element gave him a questioning look. "She being one of the prisoners," Cyborg cut in quickly, "we might need some more information or something, it just got me mad, and..."
"Okay, okay, I get it, just don't let it happen again. Unless, of course..." a grin appeared on his face. "I approve of it." He turned around and looked at the sitting Blazer. "You know, I'm getting a little bored, you guys want to head back to the tower, I could probably do with some tea and meditation."
Raven sighed. "No arguing here, I was thinking the same thing myself."
The rest of the Titans muttered a yes, except for Cyborg, who wasn't talking due to the fact that he didn't want to give anything away about him and Jinx. With that, the Titans, plus Element, headed out of the facility and back towards Titans tower, leaving a knocked out Mammoth, a pissed off Gizmo, a calm and joyous Jinx, and a contemplating and revenge ridden Blazer behind them.
It was night, the city was lit up, the Titans were asleep, and the town was quiet... well, almost quiet.
Blazer was laying down on his cot, contemplating on how he could get out of this god forbidden cell. I have to admit, Element was right in the fact that I don't have my arm any more, otherwise I'd blow this hell hole to kingdom come. Now, how the hell am I going to get out of here?
"Hey!"
Curious at the source of the noise, Blazer sat up from his cot and looked outside of his cell, standing away from the bars just in case. One of the guards ran past the front of his cell to the left. Wonder what the problem is? Maybe one of the other inmates were able to get out of their cell, won't help them now, though, if it's a cell in this area.
A scuffling sound was heard, obviously the guard and other person had just met. Wanting to get a closer look at who the guy was that escaped, Blazer cautiously bent his head to stare out of the bars. He quickly flung his head back, though, as the guard that ran by him before was just sent sailing through the air back the way he came. Something seemed curious to Blazer about how he went through the air. He seemed to go too... straight across in the air to me, maybe the guy that broke out is just incredibly strong, or shot him with some kind of energy beam, or something. Then why didn't I see anything trailing him, and if it was some guy that's really powerful, he still shouldn't of gone that straight. The only thing that I can think of that can do that is... oh crap.
Blazer ran to the back of his cell, stumbling a little as he backed into the cot. He hid behind his cot, knowing that it might not do much... heck, it might not do anything, but it was his best bet. His hands went up over his head, and he twitched nervously as he heard the footsteps coming towards his cell.
Tap... tap... tap... tap... then there was silence.
Blazer shook as he nervously started to peak over his bed at the figure standing in front of the cell. The figure's hand raised, coming level with Blazer, who put his hands over his head once more and cowered. "Please... please don't hurt me...I'm sorry I failed... I promise it won't happen again... just don't hurt me." His voice was shaky, his breaths deep, as he thought about what might happen to him, until he heard the sound of bending metal.
His head bent down, his arms over it, waiting for the inevitable pain. After a long while without feeling or hearing anything else, Blazer looked back up to see what had happened. The middle bars of the cage were bent outward, enough so that you could stick something through it, and framed in the middle of the bars, the light of the hallway shining on his face, was Brother Blood.
"Stop your whining, I didn't train you like that, get up."
Blazer stood shakily up, still cautious at what Blood might do to him. He flinched when Blood raised his hands once more, but calmed down when he realized that he just threw something through the bar's opening. "Here, put these on."
Blazer bent to see what was on the ground, an evil smile lit his face as he figured out what they were. He picked up the two robotic arms that were identical to the one he used to wear. He slipped them over his own arms as Blood turned to look down the hall. "Get out of their quickly, some more guards are coming down here."
The familiar sneer reappeared on Blazer's face. "Why are you worrying about them? We both know that you're able to take guards down like dominoes."
Blood looked at Blazer with impatience on his face. "True, but I want to see what you can do with two of those things on."
Blazer's sneer turned into a mocking smile as he started quickly tapping on two transparent green keyboards that had just appeared in the air. From his hands grew the two white energy swords. He lunged forward and slashed at the cage, one sword going through the top bars and the other going through the bottom bars. Blood stepped to the side as the wall of bars fell outward, clanging on the ground.
Blazer stepped out of the cell and faced the running guards, his two swords extinguished. He raised his hands up in the air and started tapping...
It was quiet in Raven's room as she and Element slept together, Element's arms wrapped gently around Raven's body, her head resting in his hand as his face was lightly pressed against her hair. Even as they slept they could feel each other there next to them, partly due to their thought connection. It was extremely peaceful, but it just couldn't last.
The door slammed open as Beast Boy burst in the room. "Guys, get up, something's happened!"
"I'm up." Element spoke quickly but still sleepy as he rolled from his spot in bed, falling off the edge and landing kind of hard on the ground. He slowly put himself up on his elbows and put his hand over his aching face, groaning a little. As Element pulled himself completely up he heard a yawn from the bed, obviously Raven.
"Mmm, what's the..." she stopped in mid sentence and raised her head up to stare at Beast Boy, a bewildered, but still sleepy, look on her face. "What the heck are you doing, get OUT!"
Beast Boy looked down, suddenly realizing what he'd just done, he held his hands up in front of him. "Raven, I'm sorry, I didn't mean..." His midsection was covered in darkness as he got thrown out of Raven's room to be slammed against the wall.
The door was slammed shut as Raven once again covered it in darkness. As soon as it shut she moved her legs over the edge and stood up out of bed, stretching. "I doubt that we'll be able to meditate this morning, or at least, automatically."
Element chuckled. "Yeah right, I doubt sunlight is going to hit us for a few hours, it aint going to even be our type of morning for a good while." He held his hand in front of his face, palm towards him, and sent a blast of water his way to wake him up. After he got soaked, he held his hand up once again and formed a stone cup. The water droplets on his face and hair all flew off, leaving him dry again, and fell into the cup. He downed the cup to clear his throat better and walked towards the door. "I'm going to see what's happened."
Element opened the door to see Beast Boy sitting on the ground, rubbing his head. "Did she really have to do that?"
Element closed the door. "You know the rules, no going in Raven's room, it's your own fault that that happened. Okay, now, what happened to make you wake up us like that?"
"Well, Robin was the one who first got the call, you know him, staying up almost all night. He woke me up so that I could tell you two and proceeded to the other guys. It seems that something happened in the place we locked up H.I.V.E., there's been a jail break."
Element sighed. "Great, just great, now we have to round everyone up."
"Actually," Beast Boy interjected. "We only have to round one person up, know one else escaped, Robin thinks that only that one person was focused on to get out."
"Hmm, who is it, and what do you know about him?"
Beast Boy gave a small laugh. "We should be asking you that, cause we know nothing, the person who escaped was Blazer."
Element threw his head back against the wall he was leaning on. "Ah, crap, this is bad, worse than before. Okay, let's get all the Titans up and look at the scene of what happened, we might be able to get some information."
"Don't you want to try and chase the guy?"
"Yeah, right, he's probably back in H.I.V.E. by now, and if he isn't he's going to be soon. Besides, I'm not sure if we'll be able to get him back, there must have been someone powerful who broke him out, and I'm not sure we can beat both of them."
Element walked over to the other Titans, who were standing in the midst of the destruction of the facility. One fourth of the facility was blown away in what seemed like an explosion, although the bottom walls were still there, still holding the prisoners in their cells, so even though it seemed you were outside, you were still technically in the facility. Element reached the Titans and started talking. "I just got done talking with a few of the guards, it seemed that some guy in robes busted Blazer out, they said he had some kind of telekinetic powers."
"That would be Blood." Cyborg interjected, a hateful look on his face.
"That would make sense, Blazer does work for him, and is his best student. Well, after Blazer got out, Blood didn't really do anything, just watched as Blazer started destroying the place and taking out guards."
Robin looked around the place. "One thing I want to know is how could he do something like this, I mean I know he's powerful but that's with his robotic arm, and besides I don't think even that could do this."
"That leads me to the last thing they told me, it seems that when he fought the guards he had two of those robotic arms, the place was cleared in seconds, since all of the guards could only remember a little bit. He must of done this other destruction for fun, or worse," he shivered. "The blast that did this was the same that knocked out the guards."
Beast Boy sat down on a small pile of rubble. "So what do we do, what's the plan?" He looked towards Robin, who started to open his mouth, until Element interrupted.
"I'll tell you what we do, we go to H.I.V.E. and take them down. I was planning on waiting to figure out a good plan, but with Blazer out, having two of those arms, we can't risk waiting. We have to hit them, tonight."
Alright, let me see. First, I want to apologize it took a week to write this, I was going to do it on Sunday, but I wasn't able to complete it due to something, I can't remember what, and during the rest of the week I was only able to get a little up per day, except for today, of course. Hope you guys liked this chapter, I think that I wrote it pretty well. The next chapter should come out (hopefully) soon, and it should have a fight scene, and I mean a really good fight scene, up there with Element vs. Slade, unless of course I get another idea and next chapter is something different, but I doubt it will be. That's all I have, Read and Review!
