Dragon 2/28/05
Mîr hurried back to her room after Robin invited her to battle practice. She ran over to her backpack and began tearing through it. "OH! Where is it?" She said tossing clothes everywhere. "Finally." She pulled out a small wooden box from the bottom of her bag and placed it beside her. She opened it and took out several silver pieces of armor. She began to sort through it and chose only one piece, the right for-arm piece. She pulled her sleeve up to reveal a poorly bandaged part of her arm. She clipped the armor over it and pulled her sleeve back down, then hurried back out the door to the training room.
When Mîr arrived all the titans where training separately. Robin practicing punches into a punching bag. Starfire dodging shoots from flying androids and shooting at them. Raven mediating and manipulating water with her powers. Cyborg lifting waits and BeastBoy on a treadmill. Mîr stood at the door for a few minute before anyone noticed her. Robin noticed finally and went over to her.
"Mîr." He said happily. "Glad you decided to come." She smiled then suddenly Star shouted.
"ROBIN! Look out!" One of the androids had malfunctioned and had shot a rather large energy blast at him. The blast was mere inches from him when Mîr reacted. She pushed him out of the way and brought her forearm to block the blow. Star gasped and the other titans looked over. Mîr stood unharmed, the armor on her arm now showing. It had a slight red tint to it and was releasing some sparks of red electricity.
"What was that?" BeastBoy whispered, as everyone ran over to the two. Star flew over and helped Robin up.
"You are unharmed?" She asked looking very worried.
"Yeah, I'm fine." He said looking up at Mîr. "Why did you do that?" Mîr turned to him rubbing the armor.
"I knew this could absorb the blow, and I didn't want to see you fried." She said honestly.
"What is that?" Cyborg asked the team surrounding Mîr.
"Armor of my grandfathers." She said. "I managed to get it before my step-dad sold it." She paused and looked over to the android. The shoot had ricocheted off the armor and had blown a hole through it. "So, what do I need to do?" She asked.
"Well first off I'd like to see how strong your powers are." Robin said
"As long as I don't have to deal with those things" She said pointing to the android.
"I'll do about anything." Robin thought for a moment than motioned for the team to follow him. They stood around him as he discussed his idea. "How would you all feel about doing a quick fight with Mîr?" He said looking at them. "With all of us." He added.
Most of the team nodded there head but BeastBoy crossed his arms and gave Robin a dirty look.
"No way." He complained. Raven rolled her eyes and looked at him.
"Then you can go last then." She said turning back to the group. Cy snickered and mocked.
"What you chicken?" This just made BB seem more annoyed. Robin turned back to Mîr.
"Would you mind just having a quick fight with all of us?" He said. "One at a time of course." Mîr thought about it for awhile before nodding yes. Robin smiled and turned back to the group.
"Who wants to go first?" He said to the group. Cyborg stood proudly and said.
"I'll go first." He stepped out from the circle they had been in and faced Mîr. "All right girl" He said readying his sonic cannon. "Show me what you can do!" Mîr smiled and readied herself. Cyborg came charging, shooting everywhere. She dodged all the shoots still as a human and transformed into a ram as he got closer. She charged and he dodged easily, but catched her by her horns. "You better learn some new tricks!" He said, Mîr transformed back into a human and delivered a nasty kick to Cyborgs jaw. He went flying back but recovered quickly. "Not bad." He complimented. She smiled and turned into a horse this time. She reared then charged, Cy was ready and jumped over her as she passed, landing on her back. She reared to a stop and snorted angrily. She started running, poor Cyborg hanging on for dear life. She reared and bucked, and kicked and stomped, but he still managed to stay on. Finally she decided on one of her favorite moves. She dove at the ground, rolling over onto her back, momentarily smashing Cy into the ground. When she reared back up he was clinging to her forelock. She snorted angrily, seeing Cyborg's frightened face. She reared up and launched him againist the opposite wall.
"TIME!" Robin called for a distance. Cy got up rubbing his head and offered his congrats to Mîr as the rest of the team decided who would be next.
"I'll go next." Raven said placing down a book she had been skimming while Cy had been fighting. She walking over to where Cyborg had started as Cy can over by Robin.
"Well?" Robin asked as Cy gratefully took a bottle of water from Starfire.
"She's tough." Cy said. "But something tells me she can be more than just a ram, horse and a panther. " Robin nodded in agreement as he restarted the clock.
"Two minutes." He stated, "Starting…." The girls prepared themselves. "NOW!" Raven rose into the sir already saying her spell." Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" Three barrels from the corner of the room came hurtling at Mîr. Her eyes widened in fright at first but she thought fast and turned into a black panther. She jumped above the first barrel and landed on the second. She jumped from it to third, and then lunged at Raven. Raven on the other hand easily conjured a shield and Mîr went flying off. She landed on her feet and returned to her human form. She was already tired; she hadn't battle this hard in a long time. Raven took advantage of Mîr's quick break and landed in front of her. She shot jets of the black energy at her. Two of the blast missed completely, but one Mîr managed to block with her amour again. This also ricocheted and went flying back at its sender. Raven dodged it and shot once more. This hit Mîr with some force and sent her flying. She landed motionless on the other side of the arena. Raven flew over and landed next to her. Mîr had been faking injury and whipped around, knocking Raven down with a ground kick. She stood quickly and jumped back just as Robin called "TIME!"
Mîr sighed in relief and went back over to Raven to help her up. Both girls gave congratulatory nods as Star came over to Mîr. Her eyes turned green and green orbs began to form around her hands. Mîr once again prepared for battle and made herself relax. "GO!" Robin cried as both girls took for the air. Mîr now flying around and dodging Stars star-bolts as a falcon. Starfire was shooting so rapidly Mîr began to believe that she wouldn't be able to even get near her. But apparently conjuring the bolts and shooting them as fast as she was very tiring. Star stopped only for a second but it gave Mîr time far a quick attack. She swooped down and grazed Star across the shoulder with her talons. She winced and began to shoot again. Then the most brilliant idea came to her. She soared quickly over Star, flipped around to face her and turned human. Starfire aimed and would have hit her but once again the amour was proving invincible. Star's shot ricocheted and hit her right in the stomach. She fell to the ground and Robin called time.
Mîr hurried over and apologized for the talon injury. Star thought nothing of it and walked back over to her friends. By now Mîr was completely worn out and was breathing very heavy and fast.
As Star returned to the group Robin looked over a BeastBoy who was still pouting. "Are you going to go or not?" The Boy Wonder asked the stubborn changeling. BeastBoy looked away as Robin turned to Mîr. She looked extremely tired and began to question whether or not he should continue this. But Mîr answered for him.
"It's ok Robin." She said in a slight paint. "I'll be fine let's start, the sooner I defeat you the sooner I can defeat BB." This perked BeastBoy's interest in the fight. Robin smiled and hurried over.
"Don't be so sure you'll win." He said taking his normal fighting stance. Surprisingly enough Mîr did the same.
"Oh, I'm sure." She said. The timer began and the two began tot fight. Robin doing his best. Right punch, Left punch, the right kick. Mîr dodged all his moves, not even transforming and doing so in a martial art way.
"You've fought like this before." Robin said has he dodged one of her punches
"My grandfather was a martial arts instructor." Mîr said. "I learned from him." The two continued in an even matched duel for over the time limit. Finally both where close to collapsing and Cyborg and to call a tie. Robin allowed a short break for Mîr before she would start again. But what Mîr didn't understand was why he thought she still had someone to fight. She wasn't blind to BeastBoy's pouting and was wondering if he was really going to back down. She tossed aside her now empty water bottle and looked over at him.
"Look, I could care less if you wanted to fight me or not but I need an answer." Mîr said suddenly.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" BeastBoy said in a cool manner. "I can beat you any time I want to." Mîr tried to whisper but all the titans heard what she said.
"I'm sure you can…"She said with that last comment BB snapped. She lunged at Mîr as a tiger and scrapped her right shoulder with his claws. Blood began to pour from her arm. Robin looked very angry along with everyone else.
"What was that for." He asked looked at Mîr's cut. She growled and transformed into a tiger as well and lunged at BB. They both started moving in circles around each other, watching each others moves. Finally BB attacked again but Mîr was the one who tasted blood. She sunk her fangs deep into his shoulder and clawed his stomach. He roared and whipped around knocking her away. The rest of the team did not like where this looked like it was going but where frozen in place. BeastBoy lunged unexpectingly at Mîr's right leg and was surprised when his teeth did not cut flesh but rather metal. Mîr's armor was still on and he had chopped down so hard he had broken a fang. He backed away in shock as Mîr lunged again and delivered a nasty blow to his face. BeastBoy was getting feed up and transformed in his most powerful form, A tyrannosaurs rex. Mîr looked up in fear and started to back off. BeastBoy roared and charged at her. He grabbed her in his jaws and she turned back into a human. His teeth were sinking into her sides, pain erupting all around her. She began to panic but before she could scream five star-bolts went pounding into his neck. BeastBoy groaned and released her. Mîr hit the ground hard and soon a small pool of blood was around her.
Star landed next to her and looked evilly at the rex. She helped Mîr up as the rest of the team came over. All giving BeastBoy equally dirty looks. He soon returned to normal and stormed out of the room. Which left only one question, Robin looked at Mîr and asked.
"You can't transform into dinosaurs?"
