kmutt: Glad you like it. Just on a side not...I'm wondering if you've read my other stories, caue the plots are all connected

King Cheetah: Glad to see you're still reading. It seems like my readers have faded after "New Beginning" either that...or not reviewing. Oh well. Hope I don't scare you off before the end.

NOTES: Well, finally here is the fourth chapter. It didn't really take long to write...once I actually sat down and wrote it. Since I'm not getting a lot of reviews on this story, I'm assuming only a few people are actually reading it, so I don't really need to update with lighting speed because a million people are waiting to hear more. (Of course this has nothing to do with my 10-20 page art history paper, my 30 min speech presentation on gangs, my english poetry unit paper, or my drawing homeworklol ). Anyway, that aside, I will keep posting, but as the school year nears its end, fnals come along with it...and that will kinda consume my time...

Without further delay...chapter 4

Chapter Four: Ice Breaker

Terra paced around the living room of Titans Tower mumbling to herself. Warlock and Falcon stood off to the side talking to each other quietly. The door slid open and Vortex walked in, "What's going on here?" Terra looked up briefly and shook her head as she plopped down on the couch. Vortex looked over at Falcon and Warlock, "Well?" Warlock shrugged and Falcon walked over toward the couch where Terra was sitting. Vortex shook his head, "Would someone please tell me what's going on?" Falcon looked up, "Beast Boy's gone." Vortex shrugged, "He'll be back." Warlock shook his head, "Not this time."

Terra jumped off the couch, "I've gotta tell the League." Vortex stared at her, "Terra, no. There's no need for that." Terra looked over at him, "Why not?" Warlock walked over and put a hand on Terra's shoulder, "This is your team now. Nightwing and the others have too much to worry about. They don't need to know. We'll find Beast Boy." Suddenly the alert sirens went off throughout the Tower. Vortex ran over and checked the screen. He turned back to the others, "Maybe he'll find us." Falcon hurried over to Vortex, "What is it?" Vortex blinked, "Bank robbery. Police scanner says there's a green kid on the scene." Falcon gasped, "He wouldn't…" Terra ran toward the door, "Only one way to find out…let's go!"

Terra and the others arrived at the bank to find the building in pretty bad shape. There were numerous holes in the walls, and the interior had been torn apart. The Titans didn't want to admit it, but deep down, they knew it was Beast Boy. Terra rushed inside and the others followed behind her. They stopped dead in there tracks once they stepped through the doorway. Sure enough Beast Boy was inside gathering up the money scattered on the floor, but he was joined by three other teens. Beast Boy looked up as Terra walked over. Terra growled, "And you called me a traitor!" Beast Boy stood up quickly, "Terra, no it's not…" Terra shook her head, "Spare the lies Beast Boy. I don't wanna hear it!" Beast Boy's companions looked up suddenly. Warlock and Falcon stared at the kid standing next to Beast Boy. "Frostbyte," they muttered in unison. Frostbyte smirked, "Heh, nice to see you too…" Vortex's eyes popped out of his head as a young girl with fiery red hair turned and glared at him. He gasped, "Sarah! What are you doing…" The girl cut him off, "The name's Fireball now!"

Terra glared at Beast Boy, "I can't believe you!" Ever since I showed up at the Tower, you've done nothing but complain about my past. You hypocritical little…" Beast Boy ducked out of the way as Terra lunged forward, "Terra! Listen to me!" Terra kicked Beast Boy to the ground. The green teenager growled viciously, "Fine. If this is what you want…" He morphed into a gorilla and swung a massive fist at Terra. Terra jumped out of the way and hurled a rock back at him. Beast Boy ducked under the rock as he morphed into a cheetah. He charged forward and slammed into Terra, knocking her to the ground. He pinned her to the ground clawing at her face. Terra tore up a chunk of the earth and rose into the air. She flipped the rock upside down, and Beast Boy lost his grip and fell. He changed into a hawk and gently glided to the ground.

The ice was broken and the other Titans charged at each other both sides bent on bringing the other down. In the midst of all the commotion, two teenagers quickly crawled along the floor gathering the scattered money into their backpacks. They whispered to each other and smiled at their stroke of luck. Terra slammed into the ground after taking a blow from Beast Boy's large dinosaur tail. As she rolled over and pushed herself to her feet, she saw the two boys racing for the door with scattered bills spilling out of their half open packs. Terra ran forward to stop the two robbers but she was stopped dead in her tracks as a large octopus tentacle wrapped around her stomach and yanked her backward. Terra fell to the ground as Beast Boy reverted to his normal form. She jumped to her feet and glared at her former teammate.

Beast Boy shook his head, "I tried to tell you." Terra turned around and raced toward the door hoping to catch the real criminals. Once again a large tentacle pulled her back. Terra growled, "Beast Boy, they're getting away!" Beast Boy smirked, "I don't care anymore." Everyone but the Titans had left the bank, and the fighting had temporarily stopped. The opposing teams stood in silence as they watched the stand off between their leaders. Frostbyte leaned over to Nano as he gestured toward Beast Boy, "I think he's gonna crack…"

Beast Boy was shaking with rage. He watched Terra with an unbroken stare. Hateful words boiled deep inside his soul but refused to escape his mouth. Only a low, threatening rumble emerged. After a brief moment of silence, Beast Boy slowly opened his mouth. He looked around at his new team and knew what he wanted to say, but no words came out. He merely roared with every ounce of strength he had and charged forward into Terra. The others knew exactly what he was trying to say, and they charged forward and threw themselves into a chaotic frenzy of fists and screaming teenagers.

Terra jumped away from Beast Boy's initial attack and yanked a small column of stone up from the floor. Beast Boy charged into it head on. He turned quickly and morphed into an octopus as he launched a tentacle at Terra. Terra ducked under the first limb, but a second grabbed her from behind. Beast Boy slammed her to the ground once then threw her across the building. Terra crashed into the wall with a loud crunch. She fell to the ground and lay motionless for a moment as Beast Boy raced forward to strike again.

In the middle of the fight, Falcon and Warlock stood back to back fighting off Nano and Frostbyte. Frostbyte launched a barrage of ice shards at his opponents. Warlock ducked out of the way as Falcon whipped out her bow staff and swung it at the frozen projectiles and shattered them. Frostbyte charged forward at Warlock and prepared to strike. At the last second Warlock jumped out of the way, and Falcon's fist slammed hard into Frostbyte's stomach. Warlock added insult to injury and kicked Frostbyte across the room.

Warlock wheeled around as Nano charged forward. Her right arm reached out and dismantled one of the computers behind the bank counter. In the blink of an eye, her hand had grown to three times its original size. Warlock pulled out a short metal rod. He gripped one end tightly, and the rod began to glow with a faint hint of electrical energy. He swung his weapon down onto Nano's large mechanical fist. The electrical charge short circuited the limb and the hand instantly shrunk to its normal size.

Vortex and Fireball battled each other in a vicious case of sibling rivalry. Fireball chucked a flaming projectile at her brother, but Vortex unleashed a small gust of wind that blew the flame in another direction. He ran forward and kicked Fireball's legs out from under her. Fireball grunted as she hit the ground. Vortex held out a hand to his sister, "It doesn't 'ave to be this way, Sarah. You don't belong with these guys." Fireball jumped up and punched her brother in the stomach, "It's better than being abandoned by you!" Vortex glared at her, "That's not what happened!" Fireball shook her head "I don't think I can believe that…"

Back across the room, Terra and Beast Boy had abandoned the use of their powers, and resorted to a grudge match of flying fists. When it came to hand to hand combat, Terra had trained with one of the best. Slade may have been a criminal, but he knew how to fight, and he passed his skills along to his former apprentice. All his life, Beast Boy had relied solely on his powers for combat purposes, and even those he chose not o develop to their full potential. However, his sheer hatred for Terra had released a hidden reserve of strength and skill that even he didn't know existed.

Terra and Beast Boy moved about the room in a lighting fast blur of movement. Punching, kicking, and blocking. Neither teen able to lay a blow on the other. Now, it was simply a matter of who tired first. Beast Boy fought with animal like fury, relying only on his instincts to attack his opponent, and Terra concentrated closely on her martial arts training. Beast Boy charged full speed at Terra, who stepped to the side and kicked him to the ground. Beast Boy growled and jumped up; he was starting to lose focus. He came at her again, and as Terra swung a fist in his direction Beast Boy morphed into a goat and slammed his horns into Terra's stomach. Terra, surprised by the attack, gasped for air violently. Beast Boy moved to strike again but Falcon flew in over Terra and swung her bow staff into Beast Boy skull. Beast Boy collapsed on the ground and moaned slightly.

Falcon held out a hand and helped Terra to her feet. Beast Boy stood up slowly, and Terra prepared to fight back. Though, instead of charging at her, Beast Boy called out to his teammates, "Titans, fall back!" Beast Boy turned back to Terra, "Just wait…I will bring you down Terra. The True Teen Titans are here to stay!" With that, he morphed into a hawk and flew off after the rest of his team. Terra raced after him but Warlock reached out and pulled her back, "Let him go." Terra turned on him, "What?" Warlock shook his head, "As much as I hate to admit it…he'll come looking for us again. He wants revenge, and Beast Boy was never one to give up so easily."

Beast Boy sat in the tower with his new team. Frostbyte came and sat next to him, "Any one of us could have told you this would happen. You can't expect to split from the Titans and still be a hero." Nano nodded, "He's right. We were criminals before the fight even began." Beast Boy sighed, "They won't get off so easy next time. We're gonna finish them off…someday…"
Falcon slumped down on the couch in Titans Tower. She looked over at Warlock, "Beast Boy…My dad should have booted him when he had the chance." Warlock shook his head, "No one could know he would do something like this…" Falcon nodded, "Maybe, but he never really was part of the team. He was an outsider, and he…" Terra walked over and sat with Falcon and Warlock, "Is a traitor." Warlock looked up at Terra, "You're tossin that word around pretty freely." Terra shrugged, "I'm going to give him a second chance. I owe it to him after how his parents treated me. But if he pulls something like this again. We have to take him down…no questions asked."

Ok well, I really felt like I needed a battle in this sotry before people got bored of characters talking...so here is the first fight. In case you're wondering why I called this chapter "Ice Breaker", it's becaue the ice has been broken...and it seems that Beast Boy and the True Teen Titans have gone sour...
