Part 1
The Teen Titans walked about downtown, taking advantage of their day off. Of course, most of the time, their day off was interrupted by some villain or other. But this time, nothing really happened. That is, until they got back into Titan Tower. As soon as they entered the living room, the alarms rang, signaling some crime. Apparently, someone was robbing a bank. They left hurriedly, actually wanting the action after the rest.
Once they got there, however, all seemed to have finished by itself. They walked over to a cowering bank teller, whose eyes were wide with terror and fear.
"Excuse me, sir," Robin started," But what happened here?"
"Billy… they killed Billy!" The man stammered out. Beast Boy risked a glance to see another man being pulled away by a stretcher, either knocked out… or dead.
"Sorry to hear that, but we cannot help without you telling us who did this." Robin stated. The man took a deep breath.
"I… I'm not sure. Some kind of… machine… three of them…"
"Did they take anything?"
"No… money… they wanted… the book we were… holding for… Doctor Smith-Peterson…"
"A book? But why?" Beast Boy asked.
"I… don't know why…" The man replied helplessly.
"What was the book about?" Robin asked, hoping that it might help them out.
"I… believe it was… on ways to… change the need for oil… to a different fuel…"
"What did these machines look like?" Cyborg asked.
"I… can't fully remember… They let out this aura of fear that consumed me… I'm sorry I can't help much…" the man said.
"That's alright. We'll take it from here." Robin said, patting the man's shoulders. He pointed to the right.
"I believe they went down that way… but I'm not entirely sure." The man said. Robin thanked him and the Titans went back to their Tower to discuss plans and theories.
The TARDIS Time And Relative Dimensions In Space flew through space soundlessly, its occupants standing by the controls. The Doctor stood watching the flashing buttons, making sure the TARDIS didn't mess up like last time. Romana was playing with K-9, the Doctor's faithful robotic dog.
"Alright, K-9, that's ten times you've beat me in chess. You're not even going easy on me, are you?" Romana asked playfully.
"That's not quite the point of chess, now is it?" K-9 asked back innocently.
"We are about to land." The Doctor said, "It may be a little bumpy."
Robin stayed up late, working out any reasons of why any machine would want a book about fuel… he had one theory: their creator wanted better fuel to run them and thus work and destroy better. It was very plausible, but Robin felt something was not quite right… He decided to wait till these machines struck again, hoping that the fuel book wasn't all the machines were after.
The room was dark as the machine intruders infiltrated the island that housed Titan Tower. Silently they glided towards the Tower. One stepped forward and inserted one of its stalks into the door frame and turned off the safety devices before they opened the door.
Robin was in his room about to go to bed when his emergency alarm went off. Checking it, he found the safeties had turned off. He exited his room, waking the other Titans by calling them via their walkie-talkies. Robin told them to meet him in the living room.
As Robin got there first, he checked over his equipment, just in case. Just then, the door busted open, but it wasn't his fellow Titans. Instead, three strange things that looked like machines glided in. The apparent leader turned a stalk towards Robin and then shouted:
"Exterminate!" The others also turned to Robin, joining in, sending shivers down Robin's spine as their metallic voices shouted:
"Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate!"
