Disclaimer- I don't own the teen Titans

Robin knelt down by Starfire felling somewhat worthless, he never like not being able to help, especially Starfire. The man, Robin assumed from the tone of his voice, was about five feet from the two of them. The man held his green glowing sword in front of him with both hands, his body very relaxed. The thing had one claw behind him posed to strike and the other at his side, it's body was very tense. The thing was about ten feet from the man, the thing was addressing the man with the same piercing voice.

"So Cardinal you came all this way to protect them and now you'll just be the first in the line, how excellent."

"There's only going to be one in the line that fall, and that one will be you," the man named Cardinal replied.

"Like father like son eh?" the thing scoffed with an evil smile, Cardinal shifted his weight, Robin was just puzzled. Then in a blink Cardinal exploded forward with the force of a cannon, on the opposite sided the thing, with a great flap of it's wings, did the same. They slammed into each other with the force of a train, the sword seemed ineffective against the things claw.

"You can't win this Klal, I will defeat you, just like before,"

the thing called Klal growled and flew backward Cardinal hopped back and waited from his attack. Klal just smiled and waved his claw at Cardinal, and he not wasting a second flew forward and slammed into Klal. Klal absorbed the hit with one claw and with the other delivered a defining blow to Cardinal's chest. He hit the wall hard enough to break almost completely through, but in a blink soared upward. Klal saw this and made for an intercept, as Klal drew closer Cardinal remained motionless. Then just inches before Klal's struck, Cardinal dove strait down like a bullet, Klal stunned at the move, followed close behind. Cardinal hit the ground hard enough to leave a large indentation, but quick as a flash he darted to the wall, pushed off that and headed strait for Klal. Klal just smiled as the green glowing blade drew nearer, "is that the best you got," Klal sneered as the blade met his claw. In two flashes both combatants were on either side of the alley, then in another they crossed each other with a resonating sound. They continued this jousting match with each pass going higher and higher up the walls, each attack growing in ferocity. Finally they were standing on the roof on either side, both ready and waiting for the next attack to come. It seemed that they each decided to attack at the same time and met each other with blinding force. So much so that it sent both of them staggering backward slightly, they regained themselves in less then a breath. Again they struck Cardinal moving his blade with ease blocking each of the barrage of attacks made by Klal. It was a midair battle of the utmost grace and extreme power, it seemed one wanted the other not to walk away after the fight. Cardinal threw his sword straight at Klal, it was spinning so fast that it looked like a wheel of green light. Klal dodged the sword easily and lunged at Cardinal, who dodged the attack, then smiling Cardinal pointed behind Klal. The spinning blade was coming back around 'clever, he has defiantly improved.' Klal dodged the spinning sword for the second time, but didn't get by Cardinal now with a window of opportunity, was waiting to strike. He balled his hands together, then Robin saw something very interesting, his hands began to glow green. Gust as Klal moved aside he looked up in time to see the hand come right down on his face. Klal shot downward like a bullet and Cardinal caught the sword with ease, then smiled. Klal hit the ground with the force of a train, a huge cloud of dust filled the alley, Robin couldn't see a thing.

'Great,' he thought pulling out a bird-a-rang, and waited, listening for any sound, he shut his eyes and waited. The second he heard it he knew he would be too late Klal was right over him, claw posed, ready to strike. Robin covered Starfire and waited, then looked up and sighed in relief Cardinal blocked his claw. 'Wait a sec,' thought Robin 'he was at the very least thirty feet away, and it was hardly two seconds, how did he cover so much ground so fast? Not even Star could do that.'

The two combatants left the boy wonder wondering, while they were desperately trying to kill each other. Cardinal still managed to keep his defenses up, but could make an attack, he was beginning to weaken. Robin looked up in horror to see Cardinal lung, Klal doge then slam Cardinal with both his claws. Cardinal was hurled toward the ground right in front of Robin, he hit the ground with such force that he slammed into the ground and made a trench about seven feet long. Robin then noticed that his sword was flickering, then in a blink, it was out completely. Klal had already pick Cardinal up and held him in his huge claw.

"I'll deal with you after him," he said to Robin shoving him away with his free claw "well looks like this is the end for you." Klal laughed "I said before, you can't bet me alone," that's when Robin attacked. He knew it would do next to nothing, but quite frankly, he was sick of this freak, Klal seemed annoyed. "You dare attack me when you know you can't win, what were you thinking."

"He was thinking," came a strong voice, "that maybe I could district him long enough," Cardinal kicked Klal with all him might. Klal went flying and landed hard "maybe that guy could recover and kick you're butt."

Klal gave a huge almighty roar and opened his wings all the way, he spoke at nearly a shout "you are both fools. You can never bet me alone, did you not remember, have you forgotten, you can't bet me."

"Well" said Cardinal nonchalantly, "you are right about one think, I can't bet you alone," then he smiled," but then who said that I was alone."

At that moment there was an almightily cry, all eyes turned up, two were confused, two were gleeful, and the last two were glowing in rage. Suddenly Klal was engulfed in a mass amount of electricity, he look and sounded like he was in tremendous pain. Then the figure that was attacking landed, it was a teen no older then fifteen. He wore baggy blue shorts and a white t-shirt his blond hair was cut in a buzz, the he turned, his eyes were an electric blue.

"Shocking aren't I?" he grinded, Cardinal grounded,

"do you have to say that every time?"

"Yes,"

"big deal two against one, still, you have no chance," as is on cue a large elephant landed right on top of him.

"Beast Boy?" Robin asked puzzled he must be getting faster.

"Only half right I'm afraid," came a high voice from the cloud of dust made, Robin's jaw dropped, it was a girl. She was wearing a purple sleeveless jumpsuit with only short, but she had green skin and green eyes and long green pony tail.

Klal seemed outraged then Robin heard three words that made him turn "Azarath Metrion Zinthos." Only that came from a deeper voice, yet he was wearing the familiar blue cloak, even his face was covered. But when he spoke a black beam shot forward and slammed into Klal, he staggered but looked very tired.

"Perhaps I'll kill you next time, seeing as your other friends are now coming here," then he folded his wings around his body and melted into the ground. The new comers all sighed and looked like they were about to leave.

"Hold it," said a loud deep voice belonging to Cyborg, he rased his sonic cannon prepared to fire. All the others were also preparing for battle, then before anyone could move Robin stood between them arm out.

"Titans, stand down," they all looked stunned at their leader, but a glare made them obey. The others had not, but they waited for orders, for attack or retreat, Cardinal smiled under his still hidden face.

"Team, stand down," there was instant objecting.

"Card, are you nuts," said the next to him that was dressed exactly like Raven, she couldn't help but noticed this, but decided to say nothing, blue clocks were rather popular.

"Yea you know the laws," said the green girl, Which Beast Boy couldn't help but notice, that she was very cute.

"I am well aware of them, both of you, but if anyone has a right to know what's chasing them and why, it's them."

"So what was that strange creature that was so strong?" everyone turned to see Starfire drafting toward Robin.

"First I think you should introduce ourselves,"

"I'm Bolt, howdy," said the teen electricity flowing between his fingers.

"I'm Crow," said blue clocked figure lowering his hood, he was just as pale as Raven and the same violet eyes. But his hair was cut much shorter.

"I'm Beast Girl, hi," she smiled and gave a wave.

"and I'm Cardinal" as he spoke he removed the note that held his cloak, "I'm leader of the Teen Titans."

A/N plot twist, I think I'll save his description for next time, sorry, well will write more if you want it, till then.
