Wasteland

Intro

In 2007 a Terrorist group called "The Defilers" stole three Bio-chemical nuclear missiles from an army convoy that was being escorted to Trainall Army Base or TAB for short. On it's way across the Lesten River bridge the group detonated mines attached to the bridge, taking out the convoy's escorts and leaving it defenceless. They then killed the personal in the convoy and transported the missiles on a boat to an unknown destination. Five hours later they launched the missiles at destinations around California and the U.S.A. Jump city was about half a mile away from one of the missile destinations, a secret government recon station. The blast destroyed the whole city and wiped out three quarters of the population. Half of the remaining survivors were mutated by the chemicals, turning them in to crazy rampaging monsters that killed heartlessly. Among the survivors were the Teen Titans. The team consisted of Robin-a human, leader of the team and trained in combat-,Raven-a pale skinned Goth, with empath powers-,Starfire-a Tamaranian alien, with tanned skin and red hair, she could shoot star bolts and fly-,Cyborg-a half-humn half-robot dark skinned male with incredible strength-and finally Beast boy-a green skinned changeling. When the missile blast hit, the tower protected them but they were knocked out for two days. When they awoke they found there home and city destroyed and crazed killer mutations everywhere. A radio wave told them that Trainall Army Base was taking survivors. The base was five hundred miles away and the path littered with danger. Grabbing a few meagre possessions they set off in to the dawn, ready to face the danger that the new sun brought.

Chapter 1

Realization

"Jesus fucking Christ," said Beast boy ",what the hell happened?"

They where standing on the outskirts of jump city, having just made the journey from the tower to the docks. There were car wreckages and bodies everywhere. They had walked about a hundred meters before seeing the extant of damage the blast had done. The radio wave had explained about the terrorists and the blast.

"shit! Guys come look at this!" shouted Cyborg, crouching beside a body. The others walked over.

"oh….." Raven said simply.

The body was horribly mutated. It had a short deformed arm growing out of it's left bicep and it's face was distorted and warped.

"what is it" asked Starfire weakly.

"it's nothing Star, honest" said cyborg standing up and kicking the body under a flaming car, where it started to burn.

"if you say" Star said turning.

Robin took her by the arm and walked with her to the outside of a shop. The windows had been smashed and there were smouldering ash everywhere. Most of the inventory had been taken but from what Robin could tell it was an electronics store. He let go of Star and moved down the rows of shops till he cam to what he was looking for. "Larry's ammunitions store" the sign read. Robin tried the door but it was locked so he went through the smashed window. It was dark in side. Robin turned around looking for a light switch. Eventually he saw the faint outline of one on the other side of the store. He started to make his way across the room and then stopped. Faintly in the back store room he could here muffled groans.

"hello, anyone there?" he called in to the darkness.

He switched on the light on and went to the store room door, his hand poised over the handle. The moans continued to sound, it sounded as if the person was in pain. He took a deep breath and placed his hand on the handle and then stopped. Quickly he ran to one of the walls and picked up a hunting rifle. He walked over to the counter and loaded it, then he cocked back the hammer and walked back over to the door. The moans had stopped and instead there was a low scratching sound, like nails against cement. Robin took three deep breaths and then flung the door open. The room was dark but in the corner he could make out a hunched over shape.

"uh…hello?" he asked it, fingering the trigger of the gun reassuringly.

The figure stopped and turned towards him. Then it stepped in to the light. Robin gasped. The creature had four arms. It had no ears or nose and like the body it's face was terribly twisted. Bones protruded through it's brown rotting flesh and patches of infected skin hung off of it.

"oh shit," Robin said, bringing the gun up to his eye ",stay where you are or I swear to God I'll blow your brains out!"

The figure stopped for a second then opened it's mouth baring it's sharp teeth, saliva dripping from it's lips. Robin didn't think twice. He pulled the trigger and fired a dozen rounds in to the creature. It dropped to the floor and twitched. Robin shot it again pressing the barrel to the thing's head. Then he slumped to the floor. He heard the others shout and he heard Starfire blow down the door.

"friend Robin" she called.

"in here Star" he said wearily looking up, finally realizing that this was no longer a world he knew and that in this world the only people to protect was themselves.

Star came round the corner followed by Cyborg and BB.

"what happened Rob?" asked Cy, crouching down beside him.

Robin nodded his head towards the body of the thing. Looking at it now it was almost humorous. It's legs were stuck up in the air and it's arms looked like they were hugging an invisible person. He smiled then shook his head knowing there was nothing funny about it.

"I came in here looking for a gun when I heard it. I opened the door and there it was so I….shot it" he said the last bit shamefully as if what he had done was evil.

"hey you did the right thing" Cy said, slapping him on the back.

"yeah I guess, were is Raven?"

As if on cue they heard a loud shout from outside and then a smashing sound. With out saying a word they all jumped up and hurried to the door. Outside Raven was standing on top of a car and battling with five of the creatures and there were several more running down the road.

"could use a little help here!" Raven called as she sent one of them flying in to a brick wall. But while she was doing this another climbed up the back of the car and hit her round the head. Losing her balance she fell off in to the hands of the crazed killers and they started to hit her with there arms and legs.

"Raven!" Beast boy shouted, changing in to a rhino.

He ran at the horde of mutants, sending three flying through the air. He turned and impaled another one on his horn. It didn't die instantly but instead thrashed about howling with pain. Beast boy shook it off and stamped on it's head. The one remaining mutant joined the others that were running down the road. Now there were about fourteen in total. Half of the fighting force jumped on BB's back. Only to be cut down by a spray of star bolts. Cyborg ran up to Raven and slung her over his shoulder.

"there's too many of them" shouted Robin as he beat them back with his Boa staff. "we have to get out of here!"

And with that they turned and ran down the street, Star staying behind and holding them off with star bolts until they had gotten round the corner. Then she took to the skies and flew after them, the army of mutants hot on there tail.

"which way do we go?" panted BB.

"we go west until we get to the road out of here and leading to TAB" Robin panted back.

And with those words they ran through the city killing the mutants that got in there way.
