Chapter 4: Training practice

Later that day the titans began their training. Robin decided to bring up a new way to train.

"Alright everyone I think today we should begin by fighting each other directly and without our powers and weapons. So Cyborg is against Beast Boy, Raven is against Blaze, and I am against Starfire. First fight with your powers then without them, this is to find out your teammates weaknesses and strengths." Robin grabbed his staff and signaled. "You can train anywhere in or out of the tower and I suggest that are teams separate."

Blaze looked at Raven "So where do you want to train?" "It doesn't matter." Blaze thought about it. "Well let's go to the roof." As they both entered the roof Blaze went straight for the edge of the tower looking out towards the city. "Alright, Raven are you ready?" Raven looked over towards him. "Sure."

Blaze turned around and started off at his full speed with a full strike on Raven. She disappeared into a raven into the air and circled around for her attack "Azerath Metrion Zinthos!" Those words shocked the areas of Blaze's mind as he heard it and he prepared for the attack. A box came right at him and he barely dodged it recovering just long enough to dodge the next item. "Great but you have to be faster than that." So as he recovered "She is fast, I have to slow her down." "Solar Flash!"

As the flash of light was created Raven was caught off guard and blinded for a few moments. This was the perfect moment for Blaze and he knew it. "Well I better finish this fight. Time to charge up for my finisher." As Raven tried to regain her sight Blaze, as he did against Cinderblock, shot 3 black spikes from each arm. And he used two dark spikes to attack Raven. "Now it's time Darkness Revolver Double Shot!" Blaze flew towards Raven with his charged attack and stopped right before he would have hit her. At that same moment her vision returned and she braced for the hit as fast as she could. Right after she noticed Blaze on the ground with 6 dark spikes again. "What? Why did you stop?" Blaze looked at her surprised "That's a finisher for my enemies. It's something I don't shoot in training."

Raven looked at Blaze heavily breathing and surprised that he stopped. Blaze turned to the city letting his mind daydream for a moment while she rested. Raven then noticed the spikes on his arms. "So those spikes are like your ammunition counter for your special attacks right?" Blaze looked back to Raven "Yeah, your right that's what these spikes represent. They tell me how Darkness Revolver, or Light Cannon shots I have." Raven began to relax "So how did you use the flash attack?" "Oh that, well, I've known that attack since I was 6 years old. And it uses energy around me to cause the flash." Blaze sat down to rest his legs for a moment and Raven did the same. "So are you ready for another round?" Raven looked up to Blaze "Sure." Blaze stood back up "Or should we go to the hand-to-hand combat." Raven stood up "No, let's continue normal training."

Blaze walked away 20 yards and turned around. "Ok, it's your turn to attack." Blaze prepared himself and Raven lifted a few items and started to levitate with them. "Azerath Metrion Zinthos!" With all of her strength she threw the objects at Blaze but he dodged each one successfully and skillfully and as he recovered one of his dark spikes disappeared. "Darkness Revolver!" A shot of dark energy was fired straight at Raven she dodged it but then the attack followed her everywhere she flew. Blaze landed as she was trying to escape the shot. Another of Blaze's spikes disappeared and this one was also aimed at Raven. "Now try and dodge two. Darkness Revolver!" Raven flew at her full speed and managed to get both shots to strike each other making them explode. She paused in the air looking straight at Blaze awaiting his next attack. Blaze looked back at her in amazement. "I'm impressed that was a nice move!" "Wow nobody has ever dodged my darkness revolver completely even if that meant they had to shield themselves from it. But she got away entirely, amazing." Raven landed back on the roof and came towards Blaze. "Thanks, but all I did was find a weakness in your attack." "Well then let's combat train." Raven and Blaze got ready and began to continue their fight.

Meanwhile in the training room…

Beast Boy trained with Cyborg pushing they're own limits. "Come on Cy you can hit me whenever you like." Every time Cyborg tried to strike Beast Boy he dodged it in one of his transformations. "Come here you little grass stain!" Finally Cyborg used his sonic cannon and blasted near Beast Boy knocking him off balance long enough to catch him. "Booya, I caught you BB." Beast Boy transformed back too normal "Aww man and I was doing good too."

Cyborg and Beast Boy began they're combat training early and fought hand-to-hand where Cyborg easily beat Beast Boy. But he also had some nice move to counter his mechanical friend.

Meanwhile outside of the tower…

Robin and Starfire began their training simply enough. Starfire began throwing star bolts at Robin. He dodged them to the best of his ability and right before he had gotten struck by one of the bolts he threw a stun disc right at Starfire which hit it's mark. She was knocked down from the hit she took. "Well we both at least took a hit." Robin recovered quickly and began to attack Starfire. He pulled out his bo-staff and attacked her in ground combat. He took a full swing at her and she managed to stop the strike and break the staff. He pulled away to gather himself for another attack. Finally as he went on for another attack Star recovered and flew up again flying towards Robin to deliver a devastating blow. But he saw her just in time to dodge the strike and knocked her to the ground. Robin stopped when he realized Starfire was exhausted. But then they both look towards the roof wondering what the explosions they heard were.

Back to Blaze and Raven…

Blaze ran at full speed and made a flying kick towards Raven. She dodged it and countered with a punch towards his back. But he even countered this by rolling forward and flipping back too his feet. He turned towards Raven who was now completely exhausted from the training but Blaze felt he had a little more to go. But he became considerate of her condition. "Well I think that's it for us today." Raven dropped to the ground and realizes she is worn out. "Yeah, I'm done." Blaze walked up to her at reached out his hand to help her inside "Come on, let's go inside." Raven looked up at him and grabbed his hand as a lift. And afterwards they both entered the tower.

Not too long after the rest of the titans returned to their rooms to clean up and get some rest. Blaze went too the common room after a shower and went too sleep as another day passed he had many thoughts.

Blaze looked out to the city calmed by the lights and darkness of the city. "Well I hope that tomorrow is easier but I kind of doubt it. I wonder if that dream I had will come back, well it's best not to dwell on it I guess." Blaze looked at the clock on the monitor it read 10:27 p.m. He shortly after looking at the clock went to the sleep.
