Legato: Welcome my friends to another thrilling chapter
Crescendo: A thrilling chapter indeed. A thrillingly wonderful chapter. A wonderful chapter which I should not have had the honor to aid in the construction of! A beautifully wonderful chapter indeed!
Forte: Why do we have to listen to this friggin fairy.
Crescendo: Because, Forte, Fairies have wings. Wings give one the ability to fly. And flight gives fairies the ability to RAIN DEATH AND DESTRUCTION FROM ABOVE, ANNIHALLATING YOUR FAMILY AND EVERYTHING YOU HOLD DEAR AND LOVE!
Forte: EEEEP! (Runs out the door and breaks his neck.)
Crescendo: O my god! we killed Forte.
Legato: He'll be alright.
Chapter 17: Genesis
Robin was in Hellion dog territory. He decided instead of presenting himself as a target he'd try to lay low while he was there. He changed into a pair of baggy pants and a large hooded sweater. "I've gotta thank Cyborg when he gets back." Robin said thinking of the message they had gotten at the tower. "Hey guys, me and Jynx are over in metropolis looking for an apartment
I think I'm gonna stay here for awhile until she gets settled. Don't get into any trouble while I'm gone." He probably wasn't going to be back for a long time knowing him. Robin Smiled to himself as he stored a bo staff in his pocket along with several birdarangs. "I just hope Starfire wont get worried and come looking, the last thing I would need would be for the whole gang to pop out and kill us both." he said to himself laughing gently. He had learned not to take things to seriously no matter how bad they got. He wasn't going to be shelled up like Bruce in his mansion. Robin saw a group of Dogs ahead of him and they were talking among themselves. "Well better dive right in." he said walking towards them.
Starfire woke up to find that Robin was gone. He had stopped at the tower last night to pick up some supplies. He had talked with Starfire and they had agreed to become a couple. She was glad that he finally was able to talk to her so she could ask him. It had been weighing her down for awhile. She was finally truly happy, which in her levels hadn't happened in weeks due to the constant attacks. She got up humming and floated to the common room to find Beast Boy and Terra kissing passionately on the couch. Starfire smiled to herself secretly hoping that one day it would be her and Robin doing the same. She floated past them and went to the front door. She walked out into the sunlight of the crisp December morning and shivered. The sunlight warmed her as the ground cooled her, it was a perfect balance. "Today is a glorious day indeed." she said hovering in the air. She caught sight of the boat across the river heading toward the tower. "Raven and Lucius are back!" she cried ecstatically. The two teens were holding each other as they drove closer to the tower. Starfire flew to them excitedly and greeted them both with rather large and bone breaking hugs. "Glad to see you too Starfire." Raven said straitening her outfit. "Come friends you must tell us all about you trip! It must have been very good for you, you seem so relaxed." she said dragging them inside.
Robin hadn't wasted anytime getting into the gang. The things he did in order to get in would have to be another chapter of his darker past. The leader of the group he came across hit him on the back. "Damn, this little guy's got some balls after all." he said to the rest of the group who was helping up the member that Robin fought and beat. He had a broken jaw and a dislocated shoulder. "Lets take him to Cruze, after all he passed all the tests with flying colors. Robin just stood there with his shirt off, his breath short and his vision blurry. "Sounds good to me, he anyone that I can fight?" Robin said in a primal sounding tone. "Shit, I didn't realize we got ourselves a real ball buster." the leader said. He took Robin into a run down library " Now here's some advice kid, don't try anything stupid on him. He's ex-marine and he'll kill you easy. You might think your hot shit just cause you beat a little bitch like Marcus but he'll fuck you up." Robin nodded and thanked him. "So who the hell do we have here?" came a voice from the top of the stairs inside the library. There was a large Hispanic man standing there, with five other, slightly smaller, yet much more angry looking Hispanic men standing behind him. Robin could tell by the mere presence of the man in front that this was Cruze, the gang leader. "I'm here to stop you Cruze, you overstepped your boundaries and I'm here to end that." Robin said taking out his bo staff and extending it. "your kidding right? Do you honestly believe you can stop me all alone?" Robin pulled out one of his birdarangs and threw it at one of the support columns under the stairs. The whole balcony fell with Cruze landing on top of the rubble. He Still had the same pair of stripes down his face. But he was now wearing a pair of came pants and a thick bullet proof vest. He took aim with a revolver and fired at Robin who was able to dodge the shot and throw another disc. This one exploded in Cruze's face and sent him flying back into the wall. Robin capitalized by hitting him with a barrage of blows from his staff then a firm kick to the face. Cruze lay face down and Robin walked over to him holding his bo staff ready. The other five men looked down at Cruze's body, which lay lifeless upon the ground, and then attacked Robin with an intense fury that only a family could have in vengeance. In a dramatic display of power and style, Robin made quick work of the five bangers, and stood triumphant.
As Robin stood victorious over the Hell Dog gang, he still felt unsettled. Something in the pit of his stomach, a tingling in his skeleton said something was yet to come, much like the elderly can sense the coming of a dark storm. The silence of the dead room was broken by the sound of clapping. Robin looked around eagerly in a search for the origin of the resonating sound. His eyes came to the corner of the room, which was covered by shadows. As he watched, a teen slowly walked out and revealed himself. He was dressed all in black wearing a trench coat. When he opened his eyes to look at Robin, the bright silver color seemed to flood the room, or perhaps it was only Robin's perception.
The boy wonder struck a fighting stance, holding his staff firmly, prepared and almost eager for one final fight. The teen grinned and ran his fingers through his silver shining hair as he walked towards Robin. He reached out and with one hand lowered Robin's staff. He continued walking until his shoulder met Robin's, then began to whisper. "Hello, Robin, how are you?" "Who are you?" Robin asked in an interrogative tone. The boy laughed. "For now, you may call me Cy, but soon you will know me as your most powerful enemy and your greatest fear." Robin grinned, "I'm not afraid of anything," he replied. "I doubt that Drake." said Cy. He walked on, turning his back to Robin. "You see, Robin," Cy began, "I've done some homework. I've done my share of research on the Titans. There's you, Raven, Beast Boy, the lummox Cyborg, and then there's the beautiful Starfire." Cy turned around to face Robin, who now had a stern look on his face. "What do you know about Star?" "Ha! What fun would it be if I told YOU that?" Cy responded. You see, Robin, I've had a very boring existence over the past few years. I've been, how do you say, emancipated just recently, and now that I'm back in the world, I'm looking to have some fun!" Robin got in fighting stance. "Then let's play!" he shouted dramatically.
Cy laughed. "No, no, no you simpleton! Fighting may be a sufficient past time for a monkey like you, but for me, I prefer something a bit more... mentally stimulating." A sadistic smile began to cross his face. "I understand that you have certain... feelings... for the alien girl," Cy said, putting his hands behind his back and standing very professionally. He never broke eye contact with Robin. "I know you'd die for her, Robin. I know you love her." Robin widened his stance, preparing to defend himself, but through the conversation he had had with Cy, he had lost all hope of launching his own attack. A certain shaky feeling had come over him since the introduction of this new player. Cy looked at the ground and began to walk towards Robin. "I also know exactly how to get into your tower. In light of that, I know exactly how to get to the alien girl when she's most vulnerable." "There's no way into the tower without triggering some sort of alarm," Robin proclaimed proudly. Cy looked up with an incredible confidence in his piercing silver eyes. "There's always a back door," he said in a frightening tone. He continued approaching Robin. Robin held his ground as his legs began to shake.
"I know that the only light in your life comes from Star. I also know how to block that star of yours out, and I plan on bringing about an eternal eclipse within your soul." He was now face to face with Robin, who had heard enough. He struck at Cy with his staff, but came to find that he had hit only the empty, dead air. Cy had dashed out of the way at an incredible speed. Robin had seen speed like that before, and immediately thought of Lucious. He dashed towards the monster. He whipped a birderang from his belt and threw it, but Cy once again dodged. This time, however, he dashed towards Robin. He was on the ground, and took down the boy wonder with a swift sweep kick. As Robin fell to the ground, Cy whipped around behind him and grabbed Robin's hair, tearing his head upwards. leaning down, he whispered into Robin's ear, "I know you would die for her, Robin, and the time is coming when you will have the chance to do so. But after I slowly wrench the guilty soul from your body, and you're swept in that eternal typhoon with Pablo and Francesca, who will be there to protect your precious sun?" Cy released Robin and jumped into the air, bashing his way through the roof, and then, he was gone.
"Its only a little farther now Sicele." Larson said as he opened the rusted door to his room in the gas station. "I'm sorry its so dirty but there isn't any safer of a place for now." He said looking gently into her eyes. "It's alright, I've lived in much worse. After my father died I was orphaned and you wouldn't believe the places I've stayed." she said as she shifted past some broken shelving units. Her skirt caught on one of them and ripped to her mid-thigh. "Damn that's a run of bad luck." she said looking at her now torn skirt. Larson walked over to her and looked on the ground where he found a needle like piece of metal. "Not to worry, I can fix it easy." he said as he undid a piece of his sweater and it suddenly turned the same color as Sicele's skirt. He went to work sowing her skirt back up perfectly. "Is that what your power is Larson?" she asked amazed as he fixed it almost better than new. "Yes, my power isn't sowing aloe however." Larson opened the door to his room and there Sicele saw a rack of weapons and different pieces of technology that looked almost unreal. "You made all of these!" she said seeing an assault rifle that seemed like it could punch through a tank (And probably could too!). "Yes, my powers allow me to be a genius with technology and other instruments." he said sitting on his bed. Sicele sat down next to him and held his arm "This is all so interesting, maybe I should hang around here." she said laughing slightly. Larson joined her and they both cuddled close to each other. "Promise you'll come back for me Larson." she said holding him close to her. "I promise with all my heart Sicele. Nothing will stop me." he said to her getting closer. They both kissed each other gently and then broke away.
