A/N: Fallen Samurai here with an all new fic in the works. "Destiny's Embrace" is for anyone who loves action to the fullest, adventure beyond belief and romance in between it all. I'm trying to put in what action/adventure cravers want, but still keep it soft enough to have what romance cravers love. But don't dwell drama and mystery fans because there's enough of that too. I'm basically typing this story to show my appreciation for Fan Fiction, Teen Titans and all the stories I've read on this great site. Also if you review tell me some things you may want to see in the story and I'll tell you what I can do when I update. I also like to know how I am doing. Anyways here goes the story. Read, review but most of all enjoy.

Destiny's Embrace
ACT I: Heroes
"A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself…"
-Joseph Campbell
I: Wind
Siege looked at himself in the mirror as he rubbed cold water on his face. He had been traveling for weeks, going from place to place with no incidents. He looked at his hand. He had no idea what he was looking for but the way he always kept moving he knew he was looking for something.
His clothes showed sign of travel. A beat up pair of jeans, a hoody with the sleeves ripped off, some boots and a pair of gloves with his fingertips showing made up his wardrobe. He was truly in need of some new threads.
But what really clogged his mind was what to do next.
His thoughts where interrupted by the sound of a huge crash. Siege immediately ran outside the store bathroom to see a very large human robbing the place. The store entrance was destroyed and now literally had a public view.
"Come on, come on, I don't have all day" said the large figure. "I have other places I have to get to."
Siege looked on and got ready to strike until something caught his eye.
"The only place you'll be going is jail Adonis" said a masked boy. Four teenagers stood behind him.
People began to flee the store, everyone except Siege, Adonis and the five teenagers standing at the entrance. Siege held his hand in back of him not fully understanding what was about to happen next. A little stand off began to occur as everyone noticed each other. One of the teenagers, a red haired almost orange skinned girl, noticed Siege as he looked on at Adonis who watched the masked boy. Before anyone could make a move a frightened cashier who nobody had seemed to notice raised her head above the counter, in her hands two large duffel bags full of the store's earnings. With quick response Adonis picked up a large counter and hurled it at the teenagers.
"Titans, go!" yelled the masked boy. The five teens separated and ran towards Adonis the counter crashing where they once stood. But Adonis already had his motive and was quick to complete it. Realizing he didn't have enough time he grabbed the young female cashier still holding the bags and ran towards the exit. Black circles encased at his feet but he managed to dodge them while ducking from green blasts simultaneously. A large robotic boy jumped in front of him with the masked boy landing right behind him. Adonis used all of his strength and blew right threw them knocking both of them to the wall. A green teenager stood in his way at the entrance. A stare down took place between them for a spilt second before Adonis coldly said "I'll take care of you another time."
He jumped over the boy and began to run away from the scene, the cashier screaming in his arms.
"Come on we have to catch him" yelled the masked boy as the teenagers stomped off. Curious Siege ran after them. Adonis jumped up onto the side of a building and began to climb.
"Who does this guy think he is King Cong!" said the robotic teen.
It was as if Adonis had heard him. He suddenly stopped climbing and smiled at the teens. Shock overtook them all as Adonis managed to grab the duffel bags out of the cashier's hands and then stuck her out in the air.
"How about a game of catch?" yelled Adonis. He instantly let go of the girl. The red head teen flew up to catch her but Adonis did something unexpected. He jumped off the side of the building and caught the red head in the air keeping her from saving the screaming girl trapped on the path to death. A cloaked teen raised her hand just as a strong gust of wind blew past her. Everyone watched amazed as the girl slowed down in the air and safely landed on her feet. The teens looked back to see a heavily breathing Siege.
"Whoa dude, how did you-" the green boy started but was cut off when the red head girl flew past him and landed hard on the ground.
"No time for introductions Beast Boy" said the masked boy. "We have to catch-" but again there was an interruption this time being caused by a small circular object. The boy flipped it open and sighed at what he saw.
"We have a double" he said. "Mumbo Jumbo on the other side of town." He pressed a button on his belt and in seconds a motorcycle pulled up next to him.
"Yo Robin, Adonis is getting away" noted the robotic boy. Siege noticed the bulky frame of Adonis as he ran off into the distance.
"Alright team, Raven, Starfire and I will track Mumbo. Cyborg, you and Beast Boy go after Adonis and bring him down" said Robin.
Everyone began to run off when Beast Boy loudly cleared his throat. "Uh Robin what about him" he said pointing to Siege.
Robin thought for a minute and then looked at the now calm female cashier. "Take him with you, he may be a valuable asset. We'll deal with things later. You have your orders now move!"
Everyone nodded and ran off. Beast Boy signaled for Siege to come. They ran into an alleyway next to the store where a blue and pearl white, what looked like a cross between a luxury sedan and a sporty SUV was waiting. "Hop in" said Cyborg. They got in, Beast Boy in the front and Siege in the back, and began to race after Adonis.
The green skinned boy looked back at Siege. "Dude what you did was amazing. How you'd do it?"
"I don't really know, it's just something I can do" said Siege. "It takes a lot of energy to do though."
"What are you here for in Jump City?" asked Cyborg.
"Anything I'm just a traveler, I go where I think I should…like the wind" said Siege.
"Dude that's pretty cool" Beast Boy responded. "You know maybe you should join up with us, being a superhero can be pretty sweet. Plus you get to hang out with people like you."
"Well you're not the first I hung with like me" Siege replied.
"Really, who were you with before?" Beast Boy asked curiously.
"This girl, she was pretty amazing. Could move earth with her hands. This girl named Terra" said Siege.
"No way" said Beast Boy and Cyborg together. Beast Boy slunk back into his seat. Siege wondered what he had said.
"Did you-" started Siege.
"I've got something" said Cyborg as a beeping sound broke through the conversation.
"Well where is he?" asked Beast Boy ready to fight.
"I can't tell. The way the monitor shows it he's directly north of us, but I don't see anything. So I don't get how he could be directly nor-" suddenly a large figure landed on the hood of the car then jumped off causing it to spin out of control. Cyborg regained control and pulled it to a stop. The three of them stepped out.
"Well looks like the rest of you wannabe heroes got scared" laughed Adonis.
"Right, Titans go!" yelled Cyborg. All three of them rushed towards Adonis at full speed. Adonis began running towards them. People in the streets began to crowd wanting to get a view of the action.
Cyborg jumped high into the air and came down a fist waiting to strike. Adonis grabbed his whole hand midair and threw him against the side of a building. Cyborg with his metal hull went right through. Beast Boy changed into a gorilla hoping to match power with power.
"Not this time loser" yelled Adonis. He rushed towards Beast Boy then rolled when Beast Boy tried to strike him. The changeling's blow missed Adonis taking Beast Boy by surprise as Adonis rolled behind him and grabbed him. He then bended backwards Beast Boy still in grip and slammed him into the pavement. Beast Boy changed back into his normal self clutching his head. Adonis proceeded to kick him in the stomach but a gust of wind pushed his leg to the side causing him to lose balance. Adonis caught himself quickly and looked over at Siege.
"Heh, a new Titan huh, well I'll take care of you." Adonis ran quickly over to Siege and began throwing punches. Siege rolled out of the way of the first one then flipped himself up onto Adonis's arm and back kicked him in the face. Beast Boy and Cyborg had both gotten up and were watching with surprise at Siege's skills almost like a test to see what he could do.
Siege dropped back onto the ground but not on his feet. Instead he softly landed on his back. A gust of wind formed and Siege began to spin like a top. His feet still in the air his spinning caused him to kick Adonis in the chest over and over with such force that Adonis was forced back into the side of a car.
Siege spun back onto his feet as Cyborg and Beast Boy watched in amazement.
"BOOOO YAH! That had to be the coolest thing I've seen in awhile" said Cyborg. "Way to take out the baddie in style."
"Wow, where'd you learn all those moves?" asked Beast Boy.
"Well" started Siege smiling. "It's kind of a long story."
"AAAARRRRGGGGGG"
Siege, Cyborg, and Beast Boy looked back.
"There is no way I'm going to let a bunch of loser heroes beat me, not this time!" yelled Adonis.
He pressed two small buttons on his left and right arms. The boys watched not sure of what was about to happen. For a minute it looked like whatever Adonis wanted to happen wasn't but that all changed a few seconds afterwards. Adonis began to breathe heavily as his whole body began to shake. Drool began to drip from the boy's mouth as he started to grow more and more muscular. In the suit he stood about 6'8. However with this sudden change he was going through he was slowly but surely reaching a good 8 feet tall. His arms expanded, his legs and calves grew in width and his chest widened. Then just as soon as it had begun it stopped. Adonis was breathing heavily but that was it. Then he spoke.
"Heh, now lets see what you puny losers can do against me. See you in hell bitches." Adonis had a much deeper and darker voice and had grown to considerable size.
"Doesn't matter how big you get" started Cyborg.
"Cause the Teen Titans are gonna take you down" Beast Boy ended.
"Lets see you try" said Adonis.
"Saddle up, Titans go!" yelled Cyborg.
Again the three boys charged towards Adonis but this time he made no move. Cyborg was about to jump again to try the same move but Adonis suddenly ran towards him caught him before his feet could even leave the ground and slammed him into the roof of a car. People, realizing it wasn't a tourist attraction anymore began fleeing the scene. But some stayed taping and snapping pictures of what would be the greatest thing they ever saw. Beast Boy turned into a woodpecker flew past Adonis's face and pecked hard at the ear part of his helmet. Adonis with amazing speed caught Beast Boy in his hand and tried to crush him but Beast Boy was fast and turned into a turtle and retreated into his shell. There was one problem with his plan; he didn't realize how strong Adonis had become. He began to crack the shell Beast Boy was hiding in.
"Beast Boy" yelled Siege. He struck his hands forward as a massive wind came about and knocked Adonis to the side right in the line of Cyborg's sonic cannon blast. Cyborg fired immediately causing Adonis to quickly throw Beast Boy aside. Beast Boy continued to roll back because of the wind. Adonis braced himself, put his arms up and ran straight towards Cyborg's incoming sonic blast despite the strength of Siege's wind. He collided head on with the blast but continued to run toward Cyborg himself. Cyborg pushed his circuitry but Adonis continued to run in his direction. When he got close Cyborg threw a punch at him with his left hand but Adonis reached out with his right and caught it. A struggle began as Adonis struggle to push the sonic blast back. Cyborg struggled with all his might but to no avail as Adonis pushed the blast all the way back into Cyborg's arm. He then grabbed Cyborg by the head and easily tossed him into a store window.
Siege ran over to Cyborg but Adonis with incredible speed blocked his way and punched him in the face. Siege flew back onto the ground. In the window Cyborg struggled to get up when he felt something in his arm. Without warning his arm imploded blowing him further back into the store and causing sparks to fly everywhere. A few of the sparks flew into the ceiling light causing them to fall as an electrical fire began to start. People inside the store began to rush out screaming. Adonis smiled pleased with himself. He turned around to be tackled by a tiger form of Beast Boy. He noticed a large cut on it's back was bleeding severely from when he made cracks on his shell before. Beast Boy ran to him again and slashed at him with his claws. He then tried to use his speed to get behind him but Adonis caught on and grabbed his tail. Adonis then slammed him onto the ground. Beast Boy landed on his back and shifted back into his normal form in extreme pain. Adonis this time was able to kick him in the stomach hurling Beast Boy in a second floor window of a tall building.
Siege got up his mouth bleeding and charged at Adonis. He threw a punch but Adonis evaded it. He threw another then a kick. Miss again. Siege then proceed to run him down but this time Adonis went on the attack rushing towards Siege. When he got close he raised his left foot high and struck down on Siege causing him to crash face first into the pavement. However the force from the kick was so strong that the ground broke threw and Siege fell below.
Adonis looked on for a minute. There were no more counters or anyone attacking.
"Yes…I've done it, no one can stand up to me, no one can defeat Adonis" he yelled. "Three Titans down, three to go."
He began to walk away from the scene. A few totaled cars, a burning store, broken windows, holes in buildings and a large hole in the street. As Adonis began to walk back the ground beneath his feet began to shake. He looked back to see water rise up threw the hole. It spun violently like a fierce tornado until there was no more water but instead just air.
Wind.
The tornado began to move in Adonis's direction braking up the ground as it went. He began to brace himself but this was an attack he could not stop. The tornado hit him dead on and blew him onto the ground hard. The air then dissipated revealing Siege as he landed on his feet. Adonis got to his feet as well. They stared at each other before running full speed toward one another. Adonis struck first throwing a flurry of punches. Siege used the wind around him to move faster which allowed him to evade every punch. He then threw another punch of his own. Adonis blocked it. Siege threw another punch with his other hand this time knocking him backwards. Adonis looked curiously at what could cause such a hit. Around Siege's hands were little tornados. They began to form at his feet as well. Then in an instant he disappeared. Adonis looked all around but saw nothing. He then looked up and was kicked in the face sending him threw the pavement. But Adonis caught himself, and was hanging on.
Siege then closed his eyes and clasped his hands together. The ground shook again but this time much worse than before. Dust began to fly around fast. Adonis holding on with one hand started to pull himself up. Siege grabbed his arm and pulled him up instead only to punch him over and over in the stomach with the tornados blows. With the suit though Adonis was able to take most of the punches. He grabbed Siege by the shoulders but Siege kicked him in the chest breaking them apart.
"You can't beat me kid, give it up" yelled Adonis as the ground was now shaking very hard.
"Sorry, I've already won" said Siege.
Adonis looked behind him to see a giant tornado tear down the street. It was moving in one direction. No buildings where getting destroyed or anything. It was a controlled tornado and it was just for him.
"Enjoy" said Siege.
The tornado caught Adonis and swept him of his feet. Spinning at a high speed the armor began to break around his body. Siege rose up his closed right fist and opened it and with that the tornado stopped instantly. Adonis fell to the ground but with no armor just the puny boy inside it all.
"Done" said Siege softly as he fell to the ground.
His strength was all gone and from this point he had no idea what was going to happen. Laying out on the road in front off the setting sun he closed his eyes to the past with no idea of what was in his future.
