A Sound decision
Chapter 4
The alert was directed Down Town because someone, or rather something, was trashing the place. When the Teen Titans arrived, they met a fiery figure burning to ash anything it came across or felt like obliterating.
This figure seemed feminine like, and its face was almost birdlike. The flames emanating from its being looked like feathers of flame rising upwards. It turned to look at us and gave a loud screech like a battle cry. While screeching, five more figures jumped out of this being created out of its flames.
"Anyone bring a fire extinguisher?" Beast Boy asked humorously.
"These beings are called Erivs. They are born from the flames of a Phoenix." Boom Box said.
"Feena…what? What are you talking about?" Cyborg asked.
"Phoenix, a mystical bird born from flames and ash." Boom Box exclaimed.
"Either way, we'll take them down, Titans Go!" Robin yelled. The Erivs stayed in place testing there opponents abilities. Robin jumped into the air and threw some ice bombs, Starfire flung about a dozen starbolts, Raven grabbed some cars telepathically and tried to crush the Erivs, Cyborg fired his enhanced sonic boom, and Beast Boy transformed into an elephant to blow water at them. There first wave of attack hit there target, but they remained standing as they did before.
"These creatures cannot be killed by normal means, you must defeat them all at once, or they'll regenerate in the blink of an eye." Boom Box said. He then walked up toward the beings until they were only about ten feet apart. Boom Box then went into some type of karate position bringing his right leg back, along with his right fist. He next twisted his body so he could fling out his fist full force, and annihilated them without touching them.
Nothing remained of the Erivs, only smoke and five smoldering spots were left.
"Dude! What did you do?" Beast Boy yelled.
"It's a type of Martial Arts move using a special force called chi, but it wasn't chi was it Boom Box?" Robin asked.
"No, I used my vibration powers. To put it bluntly, I hurled a five ton force upon them." Boom Box replied.
Raven then quietly back away toward the castle, nearly no one noticed…nearly.
Back at the Tower, everyone was either training, looking up information about Phoenix's, or keeping quiet in there rooms wondering why a long lost friend has appeared.
'Why is he here? No one is safe around him, even I'm safer. Why is he after the fabled Phoenix? He can't be after power, but that's all it can offer? Unless he's…' Raven's thoughts were interrupted by a knocking on her door. But it wasn't a hand knocking; it was more like a battering ram blasting her door very lightly.
"What do you want?" Raven asked.
"A nice car and a house on the open range, I would like entry please." Keam said sarcastically. Raven gave a slight smile, and opened the door. Surprisingly no one was there, but Raven knew her friend better than that.
"Get down here." Raven called out. Keam jumped down from the ceiling and landed in front of Raven.
"How'd ya know I was up there?" Keam asked.
"…what do you want?" Raven asked, slightly mad.
"Nice way to say hello after all these years…I need help." Keam said.
"You, need help?" Raven asked incredulously. Keam never needs helps; he always could handle any situation. Of course he was clumsy, or forgetful, and lacking common sense, but he could handle himself.
"If you have a problem ask Robin, he's the problem solver." Raven answered him.
"You know as well as I do that Robin can offer no assistance that I need. I need your help finding the Phoenix." Keam said.
"…No." Even though it hurt Raven to deny him, she had to, for everyone's protection.
"Very well, I bid you adieu." Keam bowed his head, and left.
