Chapter 7: "Old Acquaintance"

As Geo-Force and Gun Wraith threw rocks and blasts at each other, Red X stood shrouded in darkness.

"Your taking too long Brion! Use all of your power!" X scolded his partner as he could hear him. Red X paid no attention to Dyggar or Terra as they broke free of their rock bondage.

"Now I'm pissed!" Dyggar roared as the rocks flew off his body.

Terra escaped and looked up. "Red X!"

"He's mine, Ter!" Dyggar flew on a boulder towards the caped man, dodging shots from the Xs in his palms until he was face to mask with him.

X took no time to think as he quickly disappeared and reappeared behind Dyggar; grabbing him in a choke-hold.

Dyggar thrashed and rammed his back against the wall again and again before a dazed Red X fell off. Dyggar lifted him up by the collar and spat on his mask. "Weak lil pussy.." he taunted.

"You maybe.." Red X delivered a devastating kick to his head, which caused Dyggar to let go. As X spun around, he took a stance. "Bring it, Rock boy!"

"Should've stayed down.." Dyggar threw punch after punch, each was easily dodged.

"Way too slow.." Red X commented as he continued to move, bob, and weave. He never moved more than one foot, his arms remained at his side, under his cape. "C'mon! Hit me!"

Red X did not realize that he fell into a trap as he stepped into a mud puddle. A wicked smile came upon Dyggar's face, his platinum crowned canines shining. Red X felt the mud grow and surround his entire body and hold him with incredible strength. As he struggled, Dyggar laughed.

"w-What's wrong with you? Aren't you supposed to be a good guy!"

"I play tha part, but I'm not very nice." Dyggar back-handed Red X into the stone wall.

"Dyggar! Don't loose it!" Terra called to him.

"You got it babe!"

"Ooooh and what a babe she is.." X was trying to play with Dyggar's head.. and it was working..

"Shut tha fuck up!" Dyggar absent mindedly punched at X's abdomen and broke the encasement he was in.

"Thanks.." Was his response as he hammered his fists into Dyggar's stomach. The speed was incredible and inhuman as Dyggar quickly bent over in pain.

Dyggar fell to his knees and nearly fell down as his arms hit the ledge they were on. Dyggar began to cough up blood as he looked at Red X's masked face, that was inches from his.

"Nice, huh? You can thank bird boy wonder for that.." X graved his throat and head butted him repeatedly. After about seven strikes he pulled back to see that he knocked his opponent out, his eyes rolled in the back of his head. "You need to control that temper" he said as he dropped him.

The next sound Red X heard was Terra's battle cry as he was hit with a barrage of boulders. X quickly recovered and jumped from rock to rock until he reached Terra, knocking her unconscious with a jumping roundhouse kick.

As she fell, the other Squad members looked on in shock. Especially when she was caught by Geo-Force.

"w-w-whut?" Gun Wraith questioned what he saw as Geo-Force laid Terra down gently. Gun Wraith continued to stare until he was bound by a red gooey substance fired from Red X. As he struggled to no avail, X simply walked pat him and took a stance befor Moth.

"C'mon Big man, let's see what ya got…" Red X's taunts meant nothing as Moth casually removed his long, black trench coat and spread his massive moth/bat wings.

He peered into X's mask with glowing red eyes. Out of the four blood brothers, he had the most control over his transformation. Dyggar needed righteous fury, Gun Wraith needed a balance of good and evil, Beast Boy needed the help of psychic powers and vengeance, and Moth needed tranquility; so his true beast form was easy to reach.

As he grew to eight feet tall, his skinned darkened to a medium gray, and his long baggy pants turned into ripped baggy shorts, Red X stepped back a few steps.

"Um…. Ray… we should go…"

"No Brion! I'm staying until I get that scroll!"

"Ray?... Ah, I know your identity Red X, or should I say Krack?" (this version of X is mine)

"Shut up Tobias!"

"You were a misfit thief then, and you're one now…"

"I said 'SHUT UP!' " enraged, Red X fired shot after shot, each different projectile seemingly hit Moth, but on direct impact was destroyed by a strange blue, black, and red aura.

Geo-Force ran to his partner's side. "Ray! Let's go!"

Paying no attention to Geo-Force, Red X shouted "Tobias! Fight me as a man, not a monster!"

Nodding, he reverted back to his full human form, his wings were now a lot smaller than what they previously were and folded behind his back and disappeared. "Alright then… Let's go Ray…"

"The name is Red X.." he said coldly and sternly as he removed his belt and cape. "I have no power now…"

"Shall we begin?" Moth asked, taking a stance.

"You asked for it." X replied, taking a stance of his own.

(X and Moth have a history together.. more on that in tha next chapter!)
