Oh and for my recent reviewer yes the part about Slade' past is mostly true.
Ch.16: The Biggest Battle Pt.1
There they were, standing in front of the mysterious club. They saw the blood still on the cement, but the bodies were gone. There was a cop standing near the scene he was looking away with a pale face.
"What happened here?" asked Robin cautiously.
"The…guards, we found them first. On the top floor was the owner, looks like he might have been killed with a poison. But these guys, we had to get ride of them, there faces were to…to…to horrible there on there way to the morgue same with the others."
The Titans looked at him confused.
"How many were there?" asked Cyborg coldly.
"Almost 100, sir there was even kids under the age of 17 lying dead, whoever did this will pay, and I've never seen such a massacre."
The Titans looked down, how were they going to catch this mad man, who was doing it, who was he doing it, this was all too weird. Beast Boy's body did not even give off a hint of fear or nervousness. He just stood there, his bright smile gone, his bright eyes, now dull as Raven's. Robin told the guard to take the rest of the night off. The guard sniffed and walked to his patrol car. He drove off without a second thought. Then they were all alone, the other guards had to be inside, so they went in to the place. Raven stopped one foot in the door to meat darkness, someone had turned of the lights, now it was pitch black, but she could feel someone in the place. Her body shivered and her head rang like a gong. She let out a cry telling the Titans to stop.
"Friend Raven are you o.k.?" Starfire asked floating to her side.
The Goth shook her head, she didn't know what was wrong, and her powers seemed to be going haywire because she heard pops of light bulbs from down the street. Before the Titans could help her get outside the big metal door slammed shut, there was the sound of clicking locks and rusty metal rubbing against each other. Robin ran up to the dark door and slammed his fist in it, no one knew but Robin was always timid in the darkness that's the only place he felt so uncomfortable it angered him.
"Let us out! Is any one out there?"
"No…but there are plenty in here." came a cold voice.
Robin twirled around to face darkness; he drew his bow staff and flung it madly.
"Better put that down little boy, someone could get hurt."
Robin put it down to his side and closed his eyes; he tried to remember his training with the True Master, he couldn't see of her, or even feel anything, whatever was out there, it wasn't there now.
"Cyborg, give us some light, see if you can find anything."
The metal man opened his shoulder and a bright beam shot out to the distance. They looked on the floor and saw the chalk lines for the dead bodies and the puddles of blood everywhere. The air stank of death and decay, it made Robin want to vomit. Starfire gave some extra light but still they couldn't see anything.
"Well, I thought your kids would be brighter than that."
The Titans huddled in a circle, they looked everywhere but no movement or shadow could be detected. Then a blinding light came into there eyes, the central lights came blazing on. They looked around the room and saw horrible sights. The floor was covered in blood, long claws marks had been imbedded in the metal walls. Red bloods flowed from the wall and hanging from a chandelier in the middle of the room were seven guards, they were tied together and hoisted above the ground, and blood flowed from the dangling bodies like a river. They had there eyes gauged out like the original victim. They had found the mad man who did all this, but, were is he? The team couldn't see him anywhere; all they saw was the red blood and carpet.
Inside Beast Boy's mind he stared blankly at the vision in front of him.
"Get out of there guys! He's there be careful come on you can do this!"
To his side he saw Evangel looking worried at the screen, and then he looked at the door to the side of him, he was screwed if he couldn't move the door. He sat back and rubbed his forehead.
In the real world the team began to search around, but Beast Boy's body went straight for the upper room. There he saw Kruger sitting on the chair smiling at him.
"Nice to see ya kid, how are your victims doing?"
Beast Boy nodded and pointed to the door.
"Ahh… I see, you need your claws well I'll let you go but come straight back we cant waist time here."
Freddy pointed his claws to the wall next to him and spun them around, the wall split open and Beast Boy jumped out, he quickly ran for the car and pulled out his back pack. He ran back around the building and into the club again. There he saw Kruger get up and the wall closed behind him. Kruger pointed to the seat and went for the door, Beast Boy slipped on his claws and looked at the smooth metal, he couldn't wait to work with them again.
Kruger turned the knob and looked at the wandering Titans below; they were so confused it was funny to watch. They scattered around like ants, his foot ready to smash, now he had them all but dead, he could see the fear in there eyes, oh the wonderful fear that created him in the first place. Kruger slwly walked down the stairs making sure his shoes made a clank on the metal stairs, luckily it did and the Titans heard it, they froze automatically and looked towards the sound. That's when they saw the one thing they feared most, him.
"Titans, so glad you could make it, I have been watching you for sometime now."
Robin put his bow staff to shoulder and was ready to pounce but his body wouldn't move. He was so afraid his system shut down and now he was as solid as Terra.
"What are you?" asked Cyborg looking at him with fear in his mechanical eye.
"What aren't I? I am everything you fear, I am darkness itself, I am hatred, anger, pain, agony all wrapped up in this form. I am Death."
"Where is Beast Boy?" asked Robin looking around with nervousness.
"The green boy? He is fine; I just…took him down for a while. He knew to much about me and was a danger to my plan."
The Titans looked at him with anger. Then Cyborg spoke up.
"You're the one that's been killing everyone! You're the one who killed the only person I loved!"
"Yes now I remember you, Bumble Bee's little lackey, don't worry boy, I tried her out she's not that good, then again I got wood you got steel." laughed Freddy.
"Shut up! You will die!" Cyborg yelled in anger as he ran towards him.
Kruger lifted his claws and stabbed them into Cyborgs metal chest.
"Listen Humanoid, you got nothing in your tin can ass to stop me, so I would like to see you try and hurt me."
Cyborg opened his robotic arm and shot him with the sonic cannon, the blue beam sent Kruger flying to the wall, leaving a deep dent in it. But the man pulled himself out of the hole and gently dusted his shoulders.
"That would have been good, if you had the power to hurt me."
With that Kruger ran at a lightning speed and sliced across Cyborgs chest continuously till a bird-a-rang became lodged in his arm. Kruger leapt back and held his arm screaming in pain, and then he smiled and pulled the weapon out like a toothpick in his side. He tossed the bird-a-rang at Cyborg lodging it in his knee cap, with another force of speed he rammed Cyborg and pushed him into a wall, he raised his hands and the metal wrapped around him, he tried to escape but he found it to tough to break through.
"Well, that was a bust, anyone else wana try?"
Kruger stretched out his body and let out a yawn but his grabbed in a black aura, and then he was blasted with bright green starbolts. He fell back to the ground and was repeatedly picked up and then slammed down hard to the ground, the floor cracked and chipped with the pressure. His nose bled but he still smiled his crooked grin. The black aura lifted him up but this time it stopped in mid air, he raised his claw and swiped, the aura shattered away like glass.
"Impossible…no one can break through that." Raven gasped.
"Child, I believe I just did." Freddy smiled.
Starfire charged Kruger but he easily dogged her, he the gave her and elbow drop while she was flying past him, he picked her up by the heal and slammed her back an forth until two large holes were at his side, the Tammeranian was broken but not done, she quickly got up and bolt punched him in the stomach then laser beamed his back, when he was on the ground she kneed him in the chin, the blast sent him tumbling across the floor to the far away wall, Starfire went directly towards Cyborg in his metal prison, she tried to open it but found the metal to tight to pry open. She blasted it again with starbolts but the metal didn't even burn. What was this that surrounded the weak metal?
"What is this substance around the metal?" she asked angrily.
"It's a dream power my dear, something you would never understand." came the mans voice.
Starfire turned around to the Kruger on his feet, he was wobbly but he still stood. She charged him again but she felt an extreme pain in her chest, she looked down to see 4 long claws deep in her upper abdomin, right below her breasts, her red blowed started to pour from the wounds and she went to her knees, she lay on the floor as the blood came out of her, she had lost, but was not dead. From a distance he heard an angry voice yelling.
"STARFIRE!"
He turned around to see Robin and Raven looking at him, Raven had tears in her eyes, and Robin gritted his teeth, under his mask Kruger could see fire burning in the boy' eyes. He smiled and waved his hand to the two.
"Now the battle really begins."
