Hello everyone, Magma88 here! I got bored so I decided to post the next chappie of my story, Magma. Just as a side note, the new character is the only thing I own, so don't yell at me. As another note, my character is not in any way like me, so don't think I'm a ruthless, evil person, just to let you know. This chapter may be short, but I promise to try to prolong the next few. Thanks for reading and please review!
Chapter 2
High above Jump City, the teen stood on a plateau on a cliff-face. His hood was down, revealing shoulder-length reddish blonde hair that fell over the left side of his face. Underneath the hair was an eye-patch that covered his eye. It was a high-tech piece of machinery that had three lenses protruding from the fabric. He was skinny, but still had traces of muscle on his chest. He wore a black t-shirt under his cloak and wore jet-black jeans. On his feet he wore black, steel-toed boots that were not very different from Robin's. At the moment, one of the lenses on his patch was sticking out of his hair and was rotating at an alarming rate. The teen scowled.
"This city...somehow...it feels familiar for some reason," he muttered to himself.
Then, he looked up the rock-face and saw a jet-black motorcycle leaning on its kickstand. He grinned. "Time to play cat and mouse, Titans," he sneered as he leapt towards the vehicle.
"Try to smother my flames if you can!" The motor roared to life as he started it up and zipped down the mountain, leaving a trail of flames in its wake.
The Titans all sat around the kitchen table, sullen-faced and tired. Robin's head was roughly bandaged where there was a cut on his scalp. Cyborg was busily repairing his left arm, changing transistors and such. Starfire was also bandaged where her burns resided. Raven had just magically healed her wounds, her usual grimace planted on her pale complexion. Beastboy had bumps and bruises, but otherwise, he had minimal injuries.
"That was a disgrace!" snarled Robin, causing the others to jump out of their skins.
"You're telling me. We haven't been beaten that bad since Robin joined forces Slade," Beastboy's knack at saying the wrong thing at the wrong time habit showed. The others, particularly Robin, glared at the Changeling. Beastboy put on a meek smile.
"What?" he asked innocently.
"The point is," Robin continued, "is that this new criminal is almost as strong as Slade, maybe even stronger. We have to make sure he doesn't cause trouble." The others hung their heads. Suddenly, a blaring alarm sounded. Everybody started blinking crimson somewhere.
"Trouble!" Robin yelled.
They all ran towards the computer that was flashing crimson, too. Robin got to the keyboard and pressed a few buttons, making a layout of Jump City appear on the screen. The city was laid out in a maze of streets and back alleys.
"Look," Cyborg said as he pointed to an area on the map. A small blue dot was flashing. It was zipping in and out of the streets and halted at an area void of buildings.
"That's the amusement park," Beastboy breathed.
"Titans, go!" Robin yelled.
The Titans reached the park to find a black motorcycle parked at the entrance. Cyborg approached it and began to examine the vehicle. "Rancid?" Cyborg wondered aloud. Robin approached and bent down to also examine the machine. He stood back up after a minute or so, shaking his head.
"No, Rancid's bike is a lighter shade of midnight blue. This one is pure black in color," Robin assessed.
"Could it be our friend from the cavern?" Raven asked in her monotone voice.
"Let's just be ready for anything," Robin advised. They abandoned the bike and entered the amusement park, alert and looking for the slightest thing out of the ordinary. The place had been closed for years and had aged considerably. Dank stalls lined the roads, some of their walls splintered and full of termites. Cotton candy machines lined some of these stalls and looked as though they had had a nasty run-in with a sledgehammer. An old test your strength game lay on its side, the bell completely dented and broken. As the Titans inched closer to the heart of the park, five splits in the road loomed closer. Each Titan looked down a different road.
"Split up team, and keep an eye out," Robin ordered and they went their separate ways.
Beastboy walked down a lonely path. 'This place brings back memories,' He thought to himself. He looked at one of the rides on his road, the roller-coaster. Suddenly his mind played an image of him and Terra hugging each other close as their cars went over the coasters edge. He had screamed like a baby while Terra laughed at him. Beastboy inwardly smiled to himself. Then he spied the stall were Terra and he had shared a hot dog, or at least she ate it and he watched her in disgust. A single tear ran down his small cheek. As he wiped it away he approached another ride, the Ferris wheel. He was then reminded of that awful moment when Slade had shown up. Beastboy and Terra were about to kiss when he ruined it. Beastboy shook his head, clenching his fists.
'I can't think about that,' He told himself and tried to end his trip down memory lane.
Finally, he reached the end of the road and stared at the last building, the hall of mirrors. He gulped and entered the hall, reminded of the fateful battle between himself and Slade. He walked down one corridor. The glass on either side was either caked with dust, or broken, the fragments littering the floor. He the realized that this was where Terra revealed that she was working for Slade all along and was only with the Titans to learn their weaknesses. He shook his head again.
'Can't think about that either,' Beastboy thought. He continued down the corridor, bumping into mirrors now and then when he heard a strange noise.
"Tick, tack, tick, tack," He turned to find the source of the noise.
"Is someone there?" He yelled, ready for a fight. He turned back to the way he was going, hearing the sound growing louder. After a few bumps along the way, Beastboy entered huge chamber filled with broken mirrors, the room where he and Slade had fought.
"Tick, tack, tick, tack," the sound was louder now. He turned to see the source of the noise, a small metallic ball. He stared at the object, confused. Just then, the ball exploded, the force of the explosion sending him flying across the room. Chunks of the building began to crumble. Beastboy tried to stay conscious, but felt weak. Then, a shadowy figure came into his vision. He could've sworn he recognized the face.
"Teā¦Terra?" he whispered. Then, Beastboy was gone.
Does Beastboy kick the bucket? Well maybe you'll see in the next chapter! Once again,please review!
