Ch 2 Blood Pain and Bruises
"Raven! Starfire! Lets go, theirs trouble downtown!" Robin's lets-go-save-the-world voice came on waking up Raven. She lumbered into the living room in which the rest of the team was waiting for her.
"Come on Raven!" said Beast boy, "Move your ass!"
"Can we take the car?" Raven groaned.
"Sure!" replied Cyborg, happy that he gets to drive. The titans loaded into the car, Robin in front with Cyborg and Starfire in middle back. Raven began to meditate silently.
"What happened to your hand?" asked Beast boy.
"Oh nothing," replied Starfire, "I must have hit it on something."
"Yeah, right," Beast boy said in a sarcastic tone.
"Why do you not believe me?"
"It looks you got attacked by a freakin' meat grinder"
"We're almost there" said Robin, saving Starfire from lying again.
"Raven stopped meditating and stared out the window. The only sound was the purr of the T-car. The evening sky was as gray as the pavement ahead. Cyborg halted the T-car and stood outside.
"What is it, Cy?" asked Robin.
"Take a look" There was a woman lying on the road bleeding and bruised. By then all of the team was outside and Starfire was knelt next to the woman.
"Is she..." started Robin.
"Dead" interrupted Starfire. The police and investigators showed up and took the body.
"Come on team," said Robin sounding defeated, "Let's go home." They started to the car when laughter boomed through to the city.
"Who's there!?!" Robin was only to be replied by more laughter. The laughter multiplied as many large brutes emerged from buildings, alleys, behind walls and even behind the T-car.
"You should have seen the look on her face when we slaughtered her." Said a strange voice.
"We're surrounded!" yelled Cyborg.
"No shit!" replied Beast boy.
"You see my minions?" the voice echoed.
"Who are you? Show yourself!" Robin bellowed.
"Me? I am the leader of the Black dragons, Silver Strike, you may meet me, if you posses enough power."
"You and your damned minions are nothing more then murderous basterds who deserve nothing more then to be dropped into a gorge of Vlornorks!" said Starfire, blinded with fury.
"Tough words for such a puny girl, lets see if you can back it up, ATTACK!!!"
"TITANS GO!!!" Cyborg unloaded a few rounds of seismic cannon while Robin threw a birdarang at a particularly large brute.
"YAH!" Starfire shot several starbolts with dead accuracy.
"Azerath Metrion Zinthos" nothing happened. "My powers!" Raven slowly backed up. The dust settled reveling all of the brutes unharmed and a strange force field surrounding them.
"What the hell!" cried Beast boy.
"You like", said Silver Strike, "I call them projectile stoppers"
"Well I guess we'll just have to do this the old fashioned way", with these words the team jumped into the battle field except Raven who watched in fear for she was defenseless without her powers.
"Eat this you sons-a-bitches!" Cyborg and Beast boy perfectly executed the Beast boy blitz while Starfire and Robin and Robin took on a team of enclosing Black Dragons. The sound of Robin's pole against flesh rung through Raven's ears, She was in a trance. She couldn't move at all. They were ripping them apart. The Titans were killing Black Dragons left and right with ease.
"This is too easy," declared Robin as Starfire yanked a sign off its pole to behead three to four Black Dragons. The sight of mass bloodshed made Raven tremble.
"We got'em all," stated Beast boy with a grin.
"Did you enjoy that, Silver Strike?" said Robin.
"More than ever, you stupid children"
"What are you getting at?" asked Robin.
"Take a closer look, you fools." Everyone except Raven, still paralyzed in fear, walked up to one of the bodies. Beast boy moved the head and a mask fell off revealing a person that recently went missing.
"These are all innocents!" cried Starfire.
"Right you are."
"So let me get this straight," said Cyborg, "You kidnapped a crap load of people, brainwashed'em, then sent them to their deaths! That's just low."
"Maybe, but what's worse, the abductor, or the murderer."
"Shut up! Shut up right now!" cried Raven, suddenly breaking her silence.
"Oh it's you, little miss darkness, aren't you the helpful one."
"Stop it! Cut it out!" Raven's hands were over her head as she was in a tremendous amount of pain.
"Don't mess with her you sicko!" boomed Cyborg on his toughest voice possible.
"Or maybe you should be proud, giving the fact your hands are clean while your so called friends are sopping wet with the blood of innocent lives.
"AHH, It hurts so much!" screamed Raven.
"Allow me to end your pain" after that a large man jumped from the roof of a tall building and landed with a clank on the body strewn pavement. Raven was leaning against a mailbox trying to keep collective.
"Good work Titans, you really got them good," laughed Silver Strike.
"DIE you sick creep!" The whole team except for Raven tried a head on assault only to be knocked back and sealed into odd bubbles.
"What the hell is...AHH!!!" Blood began to slowly seep out of the four Titans. They all cried for help. Silver Strike walked to Raven and held her eyes open.
"Now watch as your friends pay for the crimes they committed in blood."
Raven screamed and started to float, releasing large amounts of energy.
"LEAVE...THEM...ALONE," Raven's eyes turned white as snow and everything went silent.
"NOOO!" bellowed Silver Strike as he was evaporated by the power. The energy burst the bubbles and blew away the carnage. Unfortunately Beast boy was too close and was severely injured and getting worse by the minute. Thunder rolled. Rain started to trickle, then a downpour drenched everything. Raven returned to normal, and then passed out limp. The team retreated to the car, bruised and battered, Beast boy in Starfire's arms, and Raven in Cyborg's.
