Chapter 7: Going Back to Business
As the Titans charged at the Delightful Children, the Delightful Children armed themselves with the special rockets that were used against the Kids Next Door. They fired several of the rockets at the Titans, but the Titans dodged the rockets.
"So you Titans are more challenging than these KN Dorks" said the Delightful Children.
"It's time to give you a little spanking" said Cyborg as he geared up his laser cannon.
The laser cannon fired a direct hit against the machine. The Delightful Children managed to maintain control, but fell down. This angered the Delightful Children and fired a rocket at Cyborg. Raven then used her power to protect Cyborg and instead throw the rocket at the Delightful Children. The Delightful Children put up their shield and the rocket exploded, doing no harm to the Delightful Children or have their machine in a sticky situation.
"That was tougher than we thought" said the Delightful Children, "then it's time to hit everything we got as you Titans!"
The Delightful Children started to fire their rockets at the rest of the Titans. Starfire dodged several rockets and fired her star bolts at the machine. Beast Boy then turned into a tyrannosaurus and roared right in front of the Delightful Children. The Delightful Children charged their machine and knocked Beast Boy to the ground.
"This machine is pretty heavy" said Beast Boy as he recovering from the attack.
But before Beast Boy could attack again, the Delightful Children managed to fire a rocket at Beast Boy, putting Beast Boy in a sticky situation. Beast Boy than changed into all sorts of animals trying to get out of the glue, but it was no use.
"Hmm, maybe you Titans are not so hard after all" said the Delightful Children as they looked down at Beast Boy who was trying to free himself.
As the Delightful Children were busy laughing at Beast Boy's misery, Robin threw several of his exploding disks at the Delightful Children's machine. The Delightful Children turned around and started up their lasers at Robin. They fired several rockets at Robin, but Robin managed to dodge most of them, except for one that managed to explode and prevented him from moving any further.
"And then there were just three" said the Delightful Children as they set their sights on the three remaining Titans.
"Let's take them down" said Cyborg.
Cyborg fired his laser cannon again at the machine, and managed to knock it down. But the Delightful Children pulled together and got their large machine up and fired several rockets at Cyborg.
"Oh boy" said Cyborg as he saw the rockets coming toward him.
Cyborg then leaped out of the way of the rockets and used his laser cannon to destroy some of them. Yet when he destroyed one that was coming in way too close, glue was all over him, preventing him from moving. The Delightful Children laughed as Cyborg tried to free himself, yet as they were laughing, Starfire fired several more star bolts at the Delightful Children and their machine. She then raced toward the machine and gave it a good punch, sending it to the wall. The Delightful Children once again pulled together and fired a rocket at Starfire. The rocket exploded and sent Starfire to the wall. Starfire tried to free herself from the glue that was trapping her to the wall, but it was no use. The Delightful Children then turned their attention to Raven and Number 4 who was hiding behind her.
"Is this all you got left?" asked the Delightful Children, "You KN Dorks and your Tiny Titans are pathetic."
"Do you have a plan of some sort?" asked Number 4 to Raven.
"I was about to say the same thing to you" replied Raven, "do you have anything that can counter their large machine? Like any other machine?"
"I'm so stupid" said Number 4 as he placed his hand on his forehead, "Number 1 and 2 were finishing up the weapon system of a new large mech."
"Then why didn't you use it before?" asked Raven in an angry voice.
"We didn't know the Delightful Children were going to do something like this" replied Number 4.
"Tell you what" said Raven, "I'll try to hold these Delightful people off long enough for you to get that mech."
"No problem" said Number 4.
As Raven was using her powers to fight off the Delightful Children, Number 4 head toward his locker, there he opened it to get the special backpack that had the mech in it. As he placed on the backpack, he signaled the large mech to come up. Meanwhile Raven was having a lot of trouble with the Delightful Children. Although every time the Delightful Children fired rockets at Raven, she used her power to throw the rockets in a different direction. Suddenly Raven found herself cornered by the Delightful Children.
"It seems like victory is just a few inches away from your defeat" said the Delightful Children as they armed themselves with rockets.
"Hey Delightful Dorks!" said a voice, "Why don't you pick on somebody your own size like me!"
As the Delightful Children turned around, they saw a large mech-like robot with Number 4 at the top controlling it.
"So you have finally come around with some muscle" said the Delightful Children, "well, bring it on already!"
"Right away" said Number 4 as he grinded the mech's robotic fists together, "Raven, I'll take care of the Delightful Dorks from here, you go and free the others from their sticky situations."
As Raven went about her business of freeing the others, Number 4 was busy battling the Delightful Children. Number 4 gave a good punch at the Delightful Children's machine, sending them flying across over the school and onto the street. The Delightful Children got up and charged their machine at Number 4. They fired several rockets at Number 4, but Number 4 fired several counter rockets. The rockets exploded as they hit each other. The Delightful Children then used their machine and rammed it into the mech Number 4 was controlling. Number 4 managed to maintain control of the mech. Number 4 then took out a sword from the mech's backpack and sliced the parts of the Delightful Children's machine were the rockets came out.
"So you are challenging" said the Delightful Children.
"And that's not all this mech can pack" said Number 4 as he was still controlling the mech which was wielding the sword.
The Delightful Children were then so angry they charged right at Number 4, and knocked his sword out of the mech's hand and also sent the mech to the ground. The Delightful Children then prepared a large bazooka-like cannon and aimed it at Number 4 who was trying to get the mech off the ground.
"So now you will be in a sticky situation" said the Delightful Children, "just like all the rest of them!"
"That's what you think" said a voice behind them.
As the Delightful Children placed their weapon down, they saw Raven right behind them.
"I have to warn you" said Raven, "I'm one of the most powerful Teen Titans."
"You shouldn't believe this is just a bluff" said Robin as he stood next to her.
"You must be joking" said the Delightful Children as they laughed at them, "if we were able to kick your butts once, we can do it again."
"I don't think so" said Raven.
Raven then used her power against the Delightful Children. Her power created a large black sphere around the Delightful Children's machine. The Delightful Children did everything they could to free themselves from the dark black sphere. Raven then used her powers to systematically dismantle the Delightful Children's machine. As the dark-black sphere went away, the Delightful Children found themselves floating in the air and fell to the ground. Number 4 then pressed the buttons and the mech went back into the backpack it was once in.
"This looks like it's all our fault" said Number 1 as he was coming into the scene, "thanks Titans for saving us."
"Well, we were out of bound too" said Cyborg, "sorry about all those hard courses I made for you."
"Look, I think we should head back to the tower" said Robin to the rest of the Titans as they were coming to the scene.
"Yes, I am feeling a little home sick myself" said Starfire.
"Well, it's about time" said Number 86, "you people were driving us crazy."
"Give them some slack" said Number 5, "at least they helped us when the Delightful Children betrayed us."
"Yea" said Number 4, "give them a break."
"Fine" said Number 86.
"What's this?" asked Robin as Number 86 handed him a communicator.
"It's a Kids Next Door communicator" replied Number 86, "since we might get in trouble with the Delightful Children or any other super villains, we might want to give you people a call."
"Sounds fair enough" said Cyborg, "now let's get back to the tower. I miss that place."
As the Titans were getting back in the T-Ship, Number 4 watched as the T-Ship lifted off. The Delightful Children finally got up and found themselves surrounded by Kids Next Door operatives.
"Let us give you a message the next time you try to pull of something like that" said Number 86, "do that again and we'll send the Titans to kick you butts."
"Y-y-yes" said the Delightful Children. The Delightful Children then ran off crying and running away.
As Number 4 was still watching the T-Ship heading off, Number 2 entered the scene.
"What's wrong?" asked Number 2, "Miss your girlfriend?"
"Enough already!" replied Number 4 in an angry voice, "She is just a friend and girl with the word girl separate from the word friend! Got it!"
"Alright" said Number 2, "it was just a joke."
"You don't hear me blabbing about that with Cree" said Number 4.
"Okay, I'll knock it off" said Number 2, "I promise."
"Good" said Number 4.
"Come on" said Number 1 as he came in, "let's clean up this school. It's a mess from the battle with the Delightful Children."
"Yea, lots of glue" said Number 2.
"Let's get busy" said Number 1, "I think we won't be hearing from the Delightful Children for quite sometime."
