Disclaimer: I don't own teen titans. But all others (xeph, insanity, ect.) are mine to rights. Oh and, please don't tell me how bad my grammar is. I failed that class. It's the story you will want to pay attention to. I will proof read my story and try to keep spelling errors to a minimum. Another thing. This story changes from first person view, to third person. When the original "Gladiator Issac" is out, it will be first person cause it's him telling the story. Xeph and Insanity are in third person view. This is because they aren't telling the story. Issac talks about them in the third person. Confusing, but you'll get used to it. Enjoyanyways.

At the Titians tower later that day...
"Can anyone confirm what the two boys looked like before they split?" Robin questioned.
"Sorry, man. All I saw was something human hit the car and bounce through the windshields," Cyborg replied.
"Umm…Cyborg. How did he manage to break through the T-cars reinforced windshields?" Raven asked in her monotone voice.
"Well, Slade's goons did kind of shoot them out with a rocket. Then I couldn't get any spares until my new shipment from Japan arrives. So I just put in a normal car window I had on hand," Cyborg said, slumping onto the main room's sofa.
"I don't care about the windshields. They're replaceable. What I do care about is that guy we hit. I need to know who he is, and where he came from," Robin stated.
"Yes. That poor boy's welfare is most important at hand. It must be difficult becoming 2 people from just one person," Starfire sympathized.
"Well, if that isn't stating the obvious," Beast boy mused.
"Shut up." -Bonk!-
"Dude, Raven, I know you love me but seriously, don't be hitting on me to much. I bruise easily," The changeling joked.
"...ew."
"Alright guys. IF no one has anything to give me, then two of us should go to the hospital and check out the condition of the our new friend duo," Robin ordered.
Everyone blinked as he said it. They all seemed to be thinking of something.
"Pfft. Not me, dawg. BB here still owes me a rematch!" Cyborg finally said flipping on the x-box.
"Oh yeah, baby! Lets rock!" Beast boy said, jumping to the sofa and grabbing a controller.
Robin swiveled about, and turned to face Starfire," How bout you Star?"
"Sorry robin, but I also owe Cyborg his rematch," Star replied, floating to the sofa," And a truly glorious victory for me the rematch shall be!"
Robin stood dumbfounded, "I didn't know she played video games."
"Strange things happen I guess. Her brain will rot in no time.," Raven spoke.
Robin brightened," So, raven, I guess it's just you and me."
"Huh? What? Me?"
"Who else?"
"Anyone."
"Why not?"
"Well...I was going to do some reading."
"That same book you said you were going to read the last six times you read it."
She growled, "Fine."
The two walked to the elevators as Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Starfire fought over who got first player.
"I had better be getting a vacation soon…"
-Bing- Robin, and Raven rod the elevator down to ground level. Then they walked to the garage. Cyborg's T-car sat with it's new windows from Japan. Robin's R-cycle rested next to it. Raven suddenly froze.
"Just how do you plan on getting us there?" She asked.
"My R-cycle, of course," Robin answered.
"NO! WAY! I hate that thing. It's just a deathtrap. Your in this one alone," Raven said. She proceeded in leaving the garage. Robin grabbed her by the arm and yank her over to the bike.
"HEY! Let me go!" She yelled.
Robin picked her up and placed her on the R-cycle's rear seat. Then slammed a helmet on her head.
"Your not gonna abandon me like the rest," He chuckled.
He hopped on the bike and turned it on.
"Robin! Stop! I demand you get this helmet off, and let me off," She said, struggling to remove the helmet.
Robin grinned, placed on his own helmet, and opened the garage door.
-VROOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!-
He sped out of the tower and down the bridge connecting top the city.
"ROBIN!" Raven screamed, tightening her grip around his waist.
X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X
They reached the hospital in less than half an hour.
"I hate you so, so much right now," Raven said as they approached the main desk.
"Hehe. What's new..." Robin whispered to himself.
Raven glared, "What was that?"
"Hello, miss," Robin spoke to the lady behind the desk," I'm here looking for---"
-BAM!- The doors to left burst open. Out came two very frightened young teens. One in a leather garb and funky golden black mage hat. The other in medieval standard armor.
They gasped at the sight of Robin, and Raven.
"YOU!" The armored one yelled," What the hell have you done to me!"
"Yeah!" The leather garbed one yelled. Though in a voice slightly younger than his partner.
Robin looked to raven. She shrugged and shook her head. Robin took a step forward towards the two boys.
"We don't know what happened to you. All we know is we accidentally hit you with our car, and---" He said calmly.
"A car! What is a car?" The one with the leather asked.
Robin raised an eyebrow. He looked the two young men over.
"Let's just start by getting your names."
"Ummm. Well. We don't know our names," The armored guy said.
A doctor ran through the broken doors, stumbling to a stop Everyone looked his way. He looked very stressed.
"You two! Hold it right there! This is the last straw! Cease this nonsense! Not another move!" He exclaimed.
"Haven't we told you enough! We don't take orders from you dirty Greeks!"
Robin waved his hands around," Wait! How long have they been awake?"
"Since they entered the hospital van," The doc. replied," We managed to drive them here, but then they started running through building like mad! They act like they haven't ever seen, or heard of a hospital before!"
"We haven't! Nor do we want to if it is run by Greeks like you!"
"For the last time. I. AM. NOT. A. GREEK!" The doctor yelled. He stormed over to the two boys and attempted to stab the closest one in the neck with a needle of some sorts. The armored one held him at bay by pushing with his hand on the man's forehead.
"Ok," Raven spoke, " We got a warrior, a mage ..er...leather...person. An they think your a Greek?"
"Yes, their delirious!" The doc/Greek said through thrust attempts with the needle.
Raven's eyes glowed a faint gray as she pluck the needle from the man's hand via telekinesis. " You two. Name yourselves. Now!" She commanded.
They both whimpered then turned around into a huddle. "I don't have the slightest clue to what are names are!" The leather suited one whispered hoarsely, " We're just gonna have to make new ones up."
"Hmmm...yes. That sounds good. I'll be...Xeph." The armored one announced.
"Xeph...why do you want a weird name like that?" The unnamed one asked.
"He was that really wanted thief, remember. I always thought he was a very honorable man...er, for such a evil man of course," Xeph replied.
"...That's screwed up man. Well...I'll be...um..."
Robin cleared his throat. The two turned to face him. he had a look of impatience to his face. "Named yourselves yet?"
"Y-yes, " Xeph stammered, " I'm Xeph, and this here is---"
"Insanity!"
"What the hell kind of name is that!" Xeph exclaimed. A mix of a confused and surprised look on him.
"A good one! Now leave me alone, Mr. Xeph!" Insanity crossed his arms and stuck his tongue.
"Enough! Xeph, Insanity, I'm sure you don't know what it is, but vandalism is a crime here in this city. You two will respect the law like every other citizen." Robin spoke, "Now I know you may have amnesia, but that still doesn't make it ok to just tear things up. You will control yourselves and do as the doctor instructs. He is here to help you...and he isn't a Greek."
Both of the boys had this stupefied look to them. Xeph let go of the doctors head. He quickly retreated back a few steps.
"Amnesia? What is this, amnesia?" Insanity asked curiously.
"It's a disease. It means you have lost your memory. You don't know your past. Either all of it, or a large portion of it," Raven answered.
"Disease!" Xeph shouted in alarm. He started to check his arms and hands, but they were covered in armor. Robin chuckled a bit. Raven seem annoyed.
She glared at Robin, "What are you laughing at. You have to file a report on this."
"What? Nothings happened here really save for these two ---"
-CRACK!- -FIZZZZ!-
"!" Robin's eyes widened under his mask, "What the hell!" The ground was erupting open forming a fissure nearly 20 meters long and 3 feet thick. It resembled that of a crack from a volcano, steaming and glowing reddish yellow.
"Ummmm…that wasn't us," Xeph simpered as he back away.
"gggggrrrrrr" Someone growled from inside the newly open crack. Raven slowly walk near it. She peaked slightly over the edge just before---
"AHHHHH!" What looked to be a skeleton hand reached up and yanked her down to the fissure by her cloak hood.
"RAVEN!" Robin exclaimed as he dove forth to save her.
"Don't worry! I got her!" Insanity yelled as he too jumped forth to save Raven.
"Insanity. NO!" Xeph cried, but to no avail. The two boys collide and fell short of the hole.
"Hehehehahahaha" The creature bellowed as it dragged ravens body further down the hole.
"Get…OFF!" Raven yelled as her eyes turned a dark shade of gray and she literally ripped the skeletons arm off with her telekinesis power. For pure spite it seemed, she ripped off its other arm too.
"Uh Oh…" Now armless the skeleton being began to fall down the pit into the flames below.
Free of its grip Raven floated back up through the crack. She dusted herself off a bit and walked to the others, standing beside Robin.
"Raven! Your ok, good," Robin spoke," I guess now I can write up a report."
Still looking annoyed, a little pissed. She turned to look at the hole. "Wonder what that was. We've had to deal with some skeletons before but that didn't look like a machine to me," Raven pondered. Still in her droning voice.
"Ok…don't forget about us here," Xeph announced," We'd still like to know what's going on here and where the hell we are!"
"Vulgar little kids aren't they," Robin said.
"Yes, they are," Came a strange voice from above Robin and Raven.
The two jerked their heads up. There sitting on the edge of the ceiling light, was a rather large figure. Black robes, and a thick hooded cloak. It jumped down and landed in front of Xeph. Insanity just to his right. All the doctors, and nurses (including the Greek), ran cowardly out the nearest exit.
"I've been look for you two," The figure stated in a very burly voice. " You weren't hard to find though. I just followed the sound of walls crumbling. Luckily I wasn't far."
"Ummm…..who are you again?" Xeph asked.
"Yes. I think we'd all like to be enlightened a bit," Robin announced from behind the hooded thing.
"Alright. So you don't remember either," It went on, ignoring Robin," I couldn't remember for well around three days."
"Dude…what the crap are you rambling on about? Have we---" -WHAM!-
The figure slammed his open palm into the side of Xeph's. He went flying through the air and straight through a wall out into the middle of the street. Everyone stared at Xeph for a moment as he lay in there, seemingly unconscious. Cars honking there horns at the sudden delay in movement.
-WHAM!-
This time Insanity went sprawling out into the street, landing a few feet from where Xeph had hit.
"What do you think your doing!" Robin exclaimed.
"Sod off." The figure replied. Drawing what looked to be a very well crafted, steel with golden hilt, machete. " I've heard of you. Mr. Titan. Many people here call you, and your friend, heroes.' He spoke calmly. As though the word hero meant nothing.
"Yes. We are. And we usually kick peoples ass for attacking people like that," Raven growled. Her eyes turning gray.
"Oh. Please tell," The figure chuckled," Or better yet…show me!" He then charged them with his sword.
"Titans! GO!" Robin announced to Raven as he drew out his retractable staff.
"Show me how mere teenagers like yourself have gained so much fame, and glory! Show me the might of a titan!" And at that, the figure swung a downward slash at Robin. Raven waved a hand and deflected the blow with black telekinesis. Robin swung a mighty swing at the foe's head. It connected hard.
"Just like that!" Robin yelled.
-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X
"Owwwww….." Xeph groaned. He stirred a bit and clutched his head.
"Duuuuude…." Insanity moaned as he too stirred awake.
-Honk!- -Honk, honk!-
Many people had gathered around the two. Cars still blowing away at there horns. Craters had formed where the two boy's had landed.
"Move it!"
"C'mon! Get out of the road!"
"What's the big commotion about!"
Random angry drivers shouted. Xeph stood up. Held a hand down for Insanity and helped him to his feet. The two looked around at the screaming, annoyed and surprised people.
"I…I remember…." Xeph stuttered, "Everything….the fights…This city….The tornado…rift…The King! Our friends!" His eyes widened
"Yes…the coliseum. I remember it too. How we remember this city though, I have no clue," Insanity spoke. " We've never been here. Not in this place. Not even in this time! How is it possible we remember it?"
"I don't know…but I think he does." Xeph pointed to the figure fighting the two titans.. "Let's go get some answers."
The two walked back to the hole they made when crashing outside. Relieved the roadblock was gone, cars began to speed by again. Not many seemed to be all to concerned about the boys being thrown into the road like they were. They simply swerved around the craters. Some curious pedestrians still followed Xeph and Insanity though.
