I don't own Teen Titans.

Chapter 16: Cyborg Troopers

Cyborg fired his sonic cannon at another spider like creature that crawled towards him. No matter how many he killed more just seemed to crawl over or under the piles of bodies. He was trying his hardest to keep the arachnid creatures from getting to him and using their spines. He had already seen what their spines, claws, and pincers could do to a human body just by looking at the severed and mangled bodies at his feet. The other humans he was fighting alongside had been in this situation before and were ready to die. They had fought enough bugs to know what the price of failure would be. They had to defend the outpost they were stationed at all costs.

"Hey Rico! How long till that drop ship gets here!"

"Just hold out for a few more minutes Cyborg! They're almost here!"

"Got it! Oh shit!"

Cyborg dodged a scything claw that nearly cleft him in two. He blasted the bug and the one behind it in one shot. He heard the beeping of his arm and saw he was already at 50 efficiency.

'Damn, not good. Im not gonna quit now not while we're so close!'

"Rico, Behind you!"

Johnny Rico, leader of Rico's roughnecks dodged the arachnid jaws just in time and fired a shotgun round into the head causing the bug to go down with a squish.

"Thanks Cyborg."

"No problem, how long now?"

Rico checked his watch to see they had exactly a minute left till the drop ship landed.

'Come on Carmen, don't fail me now.'

"We got a minute left Cyborg!"

"Got it! Boo-Yah!"

Another couple bugs went down and Cyborg could tell they weren't gonna let up anytime soon. They didn't care if their comrades were alive or dead they just trampled over them to get to the remaining human survivors. Their orders were to slaughter the humans down to the last man. Though Cyborg and the roughnecks were making it hard. The squad collected together in a circle formation totally surrounded by arachnids but not letting any get close enough to do any damage. They suddenly all heard gunfire and the roar of engine thrusters and saw the horde of arachnids beginning to diminish and a path being cleared for them to get to the drop ship. Cyborg gave the marines cover fire while they carried the wounded on board. The swarm was still coming and was not giving up.

"Damn! Don't these things know when to give up! Just die already!"

"Cyborg! Get in! We gotta go we got everyone in now! That's an order!"

"Got it!"

Cyborg climbed in a fired off more sonic beams at the large beetle like creatures lumbering towards them but had to close the door as they took off. Rico held out his hand and Cyborg took his hand and shook it.

"Thanks Cyborg, you really helped us out there. If you hadn't shown up we would've been dead for sure."

"No problem Rico, helping people is what I do."

"Rico, get up here! Carl wants to speak with you!"

"Coming."

Cyborg sat down and looked at the survivors. Out of nearly a hundred only two dozen survived, and that was thanks to him. He looked at his arm and saw he was at 20 now.

"I hope they got something I can use to recharge."

Cyborg could hear Rico giving what seemed to be a report to someone on a communication link. He heard several references to him but they sounded good so he didn't worry much. Rico came to the back shortly after.

"Okay Roughnecks, seems there wasn't a brain-bug in the area so Command is gonna torch the place and meet our new hero here."

"Who me!"

"Yes you Cyborg."

"Alright I got no problem with that."

"Well sit down then, we got a few minutes till we reach the ship."

"How many times have you fought these things Rico?"

"More than I care to remember my friend, more than I care to remember."

Cyborg laid his head back and rested his eyes wondering how advanced this universe was. He was awoken a few seconds later when the ship docked.

"Hey wake up. We're here. Command wants to meet you in person."

Meanwhile on the planet Priscillis Five, the arachnids were going underground to a large cavern. In the middle was a large praying mantis like creature that nearly took up most of the cavern. Six clawed arms clicked together and two large eyes scanned the room while the rest of the arachnid horde piled in. The creature noticed most of the original swarm was gone and this was not normal for only a hundred humans. She looked at one of the Arachlings while it was screeching something at her. She found out that it was a human clad in blue metal that helped destroy most of the swarm. She gave out a loud roar that shook the cavern and nearly collapsed the roof.

Cyborg was shown to a station where he could recharge himself and lied down. A man dressed in an officers uniform walked in and sat next to him.

"You must be Cyborg. Johnny told me a lot about you. Pretty impressive equipment you have to nearly nuke an entire swarm."

"Yeah but don't you have stuff like this in this time and age?"

"If we did we would've slaughtered the bugs a long time ago. But forgive me for my rudeness, I'm Carl, Military Intelligence at your service."

"Im Cyborg as you know and.."

"No need to thank me for letting you use the recharge station. My pleasure."

"How did you know.."

"What you were gonna say? Im psychic, that's why im in intelligence. Sorry if that creeped you out."

"No problem my friend Raven is psychic though she's an empath not a telepath like you probably are."

"How did you know I was a telepath?"

"I don't know I said the first thing that came to my mind."

"Not bad and you didn't even read my mind. Anyway on to business, how did you get here?"

"A little creep named Control Freak zapped me and my friends to different places and I got sent here."

"Well im glad for that but also sad. Glad that you came and saved lots of lives but sad it was at your expense."

"Thanks that means a lot."

'Don't worry guys im coming for you all.'

Okay Chapter done and ready! Now for some fun. What movies should the others be put in? I leave that up to my reviewers but make sure they're live action. If no one has any ideas I'll put them where I want. The future is in your hands!
