Miyu: Hi ya! Sorry I took long but my family just moved so we don't get Internet for a LONG time.

Rain: Uh huh…

Miyu: Rain, do the disclaimer so I can post this chapter.

Rain: Miyu doesn't own the Teen Titans. It's too hot outside to think up a good disclaimer.

"Ya well, if you're good maybe I'll let you have Iceland or something."-Dagger.

Next Generation
Chapter #5: Combat practise.
T.T.T.T.T.T.T.T.T.T

Raven hidden in the Shadows in front of Violet's room watched as she came outside, locked the door, and ran down the hallway. Raven didn't hesitate as she fazed through the door, locks couldn't stop her. She arrived in the room only to see a quickly dimming green light. Puzzled, Raven thought for a moment, she had seen that light before…no doubt about it…but where?

Fazing through the other side of Violet's room to appear outside the tower she quickly flew too the combat area in front of the Tower, she'd give the green light some more thought…later. Even now it seemed less important.

Eagle looked up as Raven touched down next to her, she noticed the blank carefree look on her face with shock, there was no way that already- Aqualad broke her thoughts, "Hey, are you ok? Your kind of…staring at Raven." She blushed as nearly everyone turned to look at her, "Just…thinking…" She walked away from him, "Stupid fish brain…"

Violet finally joined them, "Sorry." Robin nodded to her, "Right, as it's your first day on this team, I think it would be best if you showed us what you guys can do. Jinx can go first." His voice had a trace of poison in that last sentence. Jinx stepped forward and stood nervously as Cyborg started the countdown, "5…4…3…2…GO!" Jinx ran forward and nimbly dodged all the explosives thrown at her. Suddenly her foot caught on a rock and she stumbled, doing a front flip she landed on her feet, running once more. 2 stone druids that Terra had helped Cyborg build blocked her path. Conjuring her magic, a pink wave hit the druids and split them right at the middle line. She walked between them confidently only to find herself stepping onto air. Jinx managed to hold onto the edge of the ditch and slowly pulled herself up and out.

Robin nodded at Cyborg, "I guess that fine Jinx." She ran back to Cyborg and gave him a quick hug. "Pyro, you can go next." Pyro nodded and stepped forward. He placed his new sunglasses he had just found over his eyes. Pyro gave Eagle a thumb up as Cyborg yelled GO! Flying up in a spiral he threw balls of green fire at the targets that just appeared. He didn't even give it thought that his course was different from Jinx's. He flew, lazily dodging the explosives with long practised ease. He flew once around the Tower for show and touched down in front of Robin, "Am I good? Or am I good?" Robin frowned, "You'll do." Eagle laughed as Pyro's face drooped.

"Eagle, if you'd please." She stepped up and smiled as Cyborg finished the countdown. "GO!" She started running towards the targets that were throwing explosives at her, running between them as they were crushed by boulders that seemed to come out of nowhere. Suddenly, like Jinx's, a large pit opened up underneath her. She fell in, morphed into a robin and flew out.

Back on the sidelines, Violet was hiding her face, "Doesn't the word, inconspicuous mean anything to her?" "I don't think she even knows what that means." Pyro said. She looked up at him, "You think? You mean you actually after all these years found a brain?"

"Haha…"

Robin watched as the small Robin flew up to him and morphed into Eagle, "Um…hey?" He nodded at her and she ran back to her friends with a sigh of relief.

"Last but not least, Violet," Cyborg said starting the countdown, "5…4…3…2…GO!" The explosives were thrown at her but she didn't even move, she drew out a small sphere and threw it at the floor before her feet, an invisible shield deflected the explosives. Then she drew out a hand full of little bead like objects, and threw them at the targets, they blew up upon impact it seemed, and her shield aloud her to shoot out. After a few seconds all her targets had been destroyed. Picking up her shield and putting it in her pocket, she walked towards Robin, "I may not be as fast as Eagle or as powerful as Pyro, but I do things my own way. And it usually works." Robin finally smiled, "Ya, I understand, maybe you could show me how your weapons work later? I've never been able to create a shield." She nodded and walked back to Eagle as the real combat practise began.

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of town Dagger and Malchior had just found the cave. Dagger collapsed onto a rock slab he was using as a bed, "Wake me up once you've cleaned this place up." Malchior frowned, "And why should I?" Dagger opened one eye, "Oh ya." He flicked his wrist and a gold collar appeared around Malchior's neck. "That's the collar of slavery. My own invention, now you have to do everything Violet and I say. Now clean up."

Malchior fumed at the ears but started cleaning anyways, "Oh woe to the days when I was in charge and was so close to ruling the world I could taste it." Dagger opened an eye, "Ya well, if you're good maybe I'll let you have Iceland or something."
"How about Europe?" Malchior asked.
"Australia."
"Half of Europe."
"Central America."
"A third of Europe."
"…Fine."
Malchior smiled, "Thank you very much. Now go back to sleep. I'll have this place looking decent in an hour." Dagger turned around and fell asleep. Malchior's hands glowed for a minute before a black blanket appeared in the air; he covered Dagger and then headed into town.

Back at the Titans' Tower, Beast Boy had just finished giving the newbies a tour of the Tower. "And here-" He said walking into the main room, "Is where we all go to just hang out." They weren't listening. Eagle was filing her nails, Pyro was staring blankly at the wall, and Violet was deep in thought.

"Hello!" Beast Boy said waving his hand in front of Pyro's face, "Anybody home?" Pyro looked at him, "Home?" He looked at the floor sadly, "I do not have much luck in homes…" Eagle patted him on the back, "Here can be home. If we're good." Pyro nodded and walked to the couch, sitting next to Cyborg. Eagle followed him, Violet walked to Robin who was sitting at a table with a light explosive in hand.

"I don't understand it," He said when she sat down across from him, "No cracks on the cover, no wires broken…I just don't understand why it doesn't work!" "May I?" Violet asked taking the explosive from him, she smiled and showed him the problem, "Idiot, you forgot to turn it on!" She laughed as he took it back with a shocked face.

Robin looked up at her, "So…" He began, "Where are you guys from?" Violet looked up, "Uh…Pyro's from outer space, Eagle and I are from Ju-…uh…JEM city." She smiled, "Yup, that's where were from." Robin raised an eye-brow, "As good a fighter you are, a liar your not." She shrugged, "My mom once told me that it doesn't matter how bad the lie is as long as the truth is still unknown." Robin smiled, "Your mom is very wise, what's her name?" Violet looked at the time, "Uh…you know I really should…uh…go…" She stood up and ran into the hallway.

Robin caught up to her and put a hand on her shoulder, "Hey, it's ok if you don't want to talk about it. I shouldn't have asked." Violet sighed, "At least your parent's loved and wanted you-" Suddenly the Titan alarm rang. "Come on." Robin led her to the computer screen.

The others were already there, "What's the trouble?" Robin asked as they neared. Cyborg answered, "It's Mumbo Jumbo, looks like he's gotten into a fight with a civilian." Robin sighed, "Well, it'll only take one of us to sort him out, anyone volunteer?" "I'll go." Raven and Violet said at the same time. Robin looked at them, "Well then you'd better get going, the fight's on the corner of Elm and 51st. The nodded and flew out to door.

T.T.T.T.T.T.T.T.T.T

Miyu: Three guesses to whom the civilian is.

Rain: Here's a hint, he's tall, mysterious and was trapped in a book for a thousand years.

Miyu: ding ding ding you got it! The dread dragon Malchior, now servant to two young teens.

Rain: Coming next chapter- Malchior saves Raven's life; Dagger goes to the next Super Villain's conference and reveals a bit of his plan. And Beast Boy get's suspicious of Violet.
