Teen Titans: The Son of Evil Part 2: Family

Chapter 5: Winner Takes All 2 pt1: The Game Begins Again

It's been three days since the Titans and Crane cured Raven of her disease. She was grateful to all of them, especially her younger brother, She even admitted that he was funny when he was inside her stomach, trying to distract the germs. Ever since then, things started to get interesting. In the first day, the Titans were fighting Overload in an area that didn't had any water, but Crane was able to stop him with a new power he didn't know that he had, all he did was launched a blast of crimson energy out of his eyes that reduced Overload back into his normal computer chip self, For the rest of the first day, Crane somehow had a unique talent for games, he was able to beat Beastboy and Cyborg at video games, next he was able to beat Robin and Starfire at arm wrestling, probably from his unholy demon strength, and last he even beaten his sis at master chess and checkers twenty times for each. During the second day, Crane proved to be excellent at cooking and Raven enjoyed his cooking, in fact she enjoyed it so much that she felt bloated, she even noticed that she gained a few pounds in the middle and for the rest of that day she worked at the gym room of the tower to get rid of the weight that she gained and Crane joined her, he said that he could use the exercise. And in the third Crane went to the park to play with his first friend Veronica ( If you thought I had forgotten about her, well you're dead wrong.), and while he was out, Raven was still in the tower knitting something for her brother (believe it or not, but in the episode 'winner takes all', I saw Raven knitting something at the time it showed when Cyborg's signal couldn't reached the titan phone), It was now the first day of December and Crane arrived to Earth near the end of November, she'd been thinking to herself about Crane, usually when she's out on the streets of Jump City, she would see a few families that had a few siblings that always argued and fought, But Crane was different because he would respect her, help keep the others from annoying her too much, and give her some alone time when she asks for it like Robin does. In fact Crane was the best sibling that Raven had ever saw and knew. She would enjoy the times when she and her bro would meditate together, and read books together and soon she will bring Crane to her favorite night club.

Now here in the present day, Crane was saying good bye to Veronica when she hugged him and give him a quick kiss on the cheek, then she left with her parents. Crane was on his way back to the Tower but somehow couldn't move, he was trapped in place. Then he felt strange to the core, then he disappeared which end up knocking him out.

Crane's eyes slowly opened up to him, blurry at first then became clear. He looked around to see like he was in a castle in space or something. Then he turned around to see a person extended its hand to him. "Hey buddy, let me help you up." said the person's voice. Crane's eyesight returned to normal to see who was talking to him. The person appeared to be a boy about the age of either 13 or 14 while Crane himself still remains 12. The boy had the same face as Crane's and even his hair looked a lot similar to his, Both of them had messy hair with a large blade of it coming down in front of their faces, almost covering their right eye. Except, this boy's hair is Ruby Red colored and had Green eyes, both out side and the pupil. And his skin was orange color. The boy wore a purple t-shirt with black short sleeves that ended in silver and has a black star with silver out lining in the middle,( the same ones from Earth) purple pants with black pockets, white normal socks, and black shoes similar to Crane's Azarathian shoes. Crane gave a weak smile and took the boy's hand. The boy helped Crane to his feet and he shooked his hand.

"Thanks" Crane spoked to the kid in front of him, he was as tall as Raven is.

"Your welcome, My name is Ryand'r or you could call me Ryan Anders or how about Rapidfire." said the boy now named Rapidfire.

"Really and my name is Crane Roth, nice to meet you Ryan, uh I mean Rapidfire." said Crane, feeling a bit happy.

"Excellent, oh and Crane, may I ask, where are you from, how did you get here, what's your favorite color, and do you wish to be my friend?" Rapidfire quickly asked. Crane's eyes shot wide open as he remembered that Starfire asked the same exact questions.

'Deja'vu' he thought " Um Azarath but now on Earth with my friends and sister, by portal, black, and sure." he finished.

"Dude, You ROCK!" Rapidfire said out loud as he gave Crane a normal human hug.

"Wow, you're more mature than Starfire." Crane said, but then Rapidfire was shocked at what he heard.

"You know Starfire?" asked Rapidfire.

"Yes she's one of my friends. Why?" he asked.

"Well she's my older sister." Rapidfire said. And just like that, Crane did an anime fall. Then he got back up. "Why?" he asked again.

"Well My sister is also older than me. What a coincidence to eh, so I guess that you're a tamaranian from Tamaran, you came here by portal as well, your favorite color is gold, and you probably like mustard like your sister and what's her real name.?" Crane asked again.

"Okay, three things. First how'd you know all that stuff, second I allergic to mustard, and third Starfire's real name is Koriand'r or in English, Kori Anders. "Asked and responded Rapidfire.

"I can read thoughts, I have telekinesis." Crane finished but was interrupted by another voice.

"Well, well, well, What do we have hear? It's my baby brother and a little friend that looks like someone I've met before." said none other than Blackfire. (Bum, Bum, BUM !)

"Can it Anders, what do you want now?" said Rapidfire, feeling a bit of anger.

"Who's she?" asked Crane, whispering.

"My Oldest sister, Komand'r, or you can call her Kom Anders or Blackfire." whispered back Rapidfire.

"Oh Ryan can't you just see that I just want to make up with you for all the times that we fought, argued, or didn't agree, I just you to love me the same way that I love you." Blackfire said in a hurt tone of voice as she walked up and started to hug Rapidfire. As much as Rapidfire wants to break free of his evil sister's grasp, he can't for two reasons: 1. Blackfire is using her alien strength to give her brother a big hug and Rapid is too uncomfortable to use his alien strength to break. And 2. She has his face buried in her chest area (lucky guy). He continues to struggle for freedom, but is in the clutches of Blackfire. Than Crane walks up to them and uses his telekinesis to separate them.

Blackfire then dusts her outfit and walked away from her younger sibling and his half-demon friend.

"Is your family usually like this?" asked Crane.

"Well when our parents died, they trusted their best friend Galifor (whatever his name is.) To raise us as we were his own children, out of the three sibling children of Tamaran's royal family, Blackfire, even though she's the oldest of my siblings, is usually the evil brat. Starfire, the middle, is usually the kind, confused nut freak of us three, and I, the youngest is usually the lone wolf." finished Rapidfire before another voice interrupted them.

"Welcome Champions all, to the contest of heroes and heroines!" announced what we all call the King of Games. "Here you'll be challenged against one another for prizes and the Title of the Champion of Champions! If you don't wish to participate in the contest, you just say the word, and I'll return you all home safely. So what do you say?" finished The King of Games.

All of the contenders huddled around each other and soon agreed to the King's challenge.

"Excellent Champions, but first, before we all begin, let me introduce to each other."The King said. "Behold the Contenders, Balckfire the mischievous but powerful Tamaranian. Adonis the muscular punk jerk fighter."

"I am Not!" shouted Adonis.

"As I was saying. Next Bumblebee the younger woman who can float like a butterfly and sting like a bee. Cinderblock the mighty pulverizing Golem. Jynx the enchanted sorceress who hexes means bad luck for her opponents. Mos and Minos the fast traveling duo warriors. Rapidfire the younger sibling of Blackfire who also packs a punch. And last but not least, Crane the half-demon filled with all kinds of dark surprises." finished The King of Games.

'I won't enter this contest for prizes and the title for champion of champions. I'll only enter to see if I'll get a new power, just like the day I defeated Overload. It doesn't matter if I lose, None of the other contenders know about my destiny and what's in stored for them and Galaxy. But just hope that none of it will happen.' thought Crane, a little nervous.

"Now that's settled with, let round 1 begin!" The King called out as the contenders were teleported to their chosen arenas.

"First Crane vs Jynx!" as both Crane and Jynx were teleported to the arena where Speedy and Aqualad fought.

"Blackfire vs Rapidfire!" (This one ought to be GOOD!) As Rapidfire and Blackfire were teleported to the arena where Cyborg and Gizmo fought.

"Adonis vs Bumblebee!" as they were teleported to the arena where Beastboy and Wilderbeast fought.

"And Mos and Minos vs Cinderblock!" as they were teleported to the arena where Robin and Hotspot fought.

"LET ROUND ONE COMMENCE!"
