Chapter 6: Invasion
"Who is?" asked Cyborg, "Who's on our island?" Travis ran to him.
"The witch hunters from our village!" he explained. Umbra added, "They've been after us for days!" Daniel moved to his sister defensively.
"They killed our brother David. They're trying to kill us, too. But I'm not letting that happen. I'm not running anymore. I'm going to fight for my family; for my friends; for my brother."
"I'm fighting, too," said Merlina, "I'm ready to fight with you, Daniel."
"Count me in, too," said Cyborg, readying his cannon.
"I couldn't call myself a witch if I didn't fight, too," said Raven.
"And we couldn't call ourselves your friends if we didn't help," Robin put in, entering with Starfire (hand in hand, BTW.) Smiling, Merlina got out her wand and said, "Let's go!" There was a pounding on the front door (wherever it is). Robin came up with a plan and they scattered to their positions. The cats stayed put for safety.
The mobbers surrounded the tower. The leader pounded his fist on the door, shouting "Come out, witches! We know you're in there!" A cheerful "Coming!" was heard, and Starfire appeared in the doorway with her eyes happily pinched shut, her head cocked to the side, and her hands behind her (holding her wrist, clutching a fist) for the innocent look.
"May I help you?" she asked sweetly.
"Don't play games with us, missy!" the leader shouted, "Where are the witch and wizard?"
"Yeah!" the others shouted. The leader continued, "We know they're here! Now let us in so we can destroy them, once and for all!" Star's face looked sad (eyes still closed).
"I apologize," she said (starbolt forming in fist) "but I cannot (opens eyes, glowing green) allow that to happen." She brought her fists out over her head and fired two long beams of light, knocking many over. As chaos ensued, Robin dropped from above with his bo staff and landed on the leader in front of Star.
"Nice job, Star," he said, "now let's get 'em!" and went off to attack someone else.
"Right!" Star shouted as she flew off. The Titans came from everywhere: "Beast Boy as an eagle had Daniel in his claws, who was shooting blue bolts of shocking light from his wand. Raven descended from the roof, holding one of Merlina's hands with both of hers; Merlina was shooting cold energy from her wand. And Cyborg was aiming and shooting from the roof. At their signal, Beast Boy and Raven put Daniel and Merlina down.
"You ready, sis?" he asked. When she nodded, they held out their wands and shouted, "Stun sabers!" Instantly, a beam of light protruded from each of their wand tips (I know, just like Star Wars) one blue, (Merlina) one yellow (Daniel). Pointing his weapon towards the crowd (now consisting of 25 people) he shouted, "For years the blood of the innocent has cried against you! Today, your kind spilled the blood of my brother! Tomorrow..." Merlina pointed her own saber at them and finished, "It will be repaid with your own!" Shouting a battle cry, they ran into the crowd and proceeded to stun every man in their path (the Titans fought, too). The leader was left conscious.
"Let's have some fun with this one," said Daniel. Grinning, Merlina stepped towards the sniveling man and made little red and black demons come out of the ground with her hands. The man screamed as they crowded over him, then Merlina snapped her fingers and they disappeared. White faced and furious, the man got a gun and aimed at Daniel. But the gun went black and crumbled. Raven had done that. At the same time, a blast of magic K-O-d the leader. Everyone turned in the direction it had come from and saw a 25-year-old man with black hair, wearing black clothes with an aura along the lines of Hamlet and "Harry Potter's" Sirius Black.
"It's Jonathan!" yelled Merlina as she and Daniel ran to hug their oldest brother.
"You didn't think you were gonna have all the fun, did you, sprout?" Jonathan asked her.
"I told you not to call me that anymore!" she pouted. He laughed, "Look how big you've gotten. And you!" he turned to Daniel, "What happened to you? You're ripped!" The Coast Guard then came, and Jonathan said, "They're all unconscious, sir. Book 'em." As the Coast Guard and his men hauled away the unconscious mob, the Titans went to answer their questions. Merlina felt free.
"We did it!" she yelled as she hugged her brothers then went to hug Starfire. Jonathan went too, leaving Daniel alone with Raven.
"Thanks, Raven," he said. Blushing under her hood, Raven asked, "For what? The gun?"
"Everything," he replied. Looking over at his sister, he continued, "For helping set my sister and me free."
"It was nothing," Raven smiled at him, and he smiled back at her.
"So," Raven quickly said, "What do you plan to do with your freedom?"
"Can I make a suggestion?" asked Robin. Merlina and the others were standing together happily. Robin was holding out a communicator. Daniel stared at it, wide-eyed.
"Really?" he asked, excited.
"Yep!" said Robin.
"Merlina?" he asked about her. Merlina held up her own communicator, winking.
"Effective immediately!" she chimed.
"What about Travis and Umbra?" he asked about their cats.
"The official pets of the Teen Titans!" Beast Boy piped. Daniel took the communicator Robin was giving him.
"Why not?" he smiled.
Sorry about the mix-up, readers. I have no idea how this happened. I could have sworn I'd put this chapter up! Hmm... Oh, well. This chapter is actually kind of lame, but it's the best I could come up with for this one way back when. OK. L8R!
