Teen Titans: The Son of Evil Part 2: Family

Chapter 6: Winner Takes All 2 pt2: Crane And Rapidfire's Limits

"LET ROUND ONE COMMENCE!" announced The Master of Games.

Crane vs Jynx

"Don't even think about going easy on me just because I'm a girl." said Jynx, ready to take on the half-demon she's facing.

"Who said I was going to? I show mercy to no one." responded Crane, sounding a little dark, cold, and emotionless. Jynx's eyes glowed pink as she fired her hexes at her opponent. But then Crane's eyes glowed white and then "Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos!" he shouted then fired a beam of telekinetic energy back which both ended up in a collision.

Blackfire vs Rapidfire

"Well, well, well. This is it, it's finally time to settle our rivalry once and for all, brother." bellowed Blackfire at her opponent which is none other than her own flesh and blood. She then throw two violet/pink starbolts at Rapidfire who quickly dodge them and threw two Red starbolts back at her who also dodged.

"I won't fight you Blackfire!" said Rapidfire who as much as he dislikes her, he wouldn't want to fight or hurt his own sister.

"Then that means that you had sealed your own fate!" said Blackfire as she charged at him at full throttle.

Adonis vs Bumblebee

"Well little lady, you can either surrender and not be clobbered, or we can play rough." said Adonis.

"I would rather play rough!" yelled Bumblebee as she shot her lasers things at Adonis which stung him each time it hit him. He then swung his massive arm at Bumblebee which had sent her flying to the other side of the cage they were in. She then shrunk to her bee size state and charged agin, this time not only shooting at him, but also throwing her super punches at him as well. That was until he caught her within his giant hand and threw her at one of the bars until she returned to her normal size.

Mos and Minos vs Cinderblock

Mos and Minos ran around Cinderblock, who couldn't fit in the tube so he had to crawl inside it.

But the two speed heroes couldn't penetrate Cinderblock's hard body. Then he punched them with his fist which sent them flying all the way to the other side of the of the tube. They both know that they wouldn't survive another attack like that, so figured that there's one part of Cinderblock that they hadn't hit yet. Together, they connected their hands and started to zoom towards the giant cement golem. Cinderblock threw his arm at them again, but Mos and Minos jumped above it and ran on his arm and together they both made bulls eye kick at his head. The damage was critical that it left a crack in the middle of his head. With that, Cinderblock was defeated.

"Winner: Mos and Minos!" announced The Master of Game's voice.

"Wow. That was short and easy." said both Mos and Minos. The Teen Titans East had taught to speak English as their second language. Then they both disappear.

Adonis vs Bumblebee

Adonis was winning his fight. But Bumblebee had found his weakness before she took that last hit she got. She was too weak to change size so she had just one shot left. She just hopes that the bars of the cage that they were fighting in reflects beams. She then lifted her laser thing at the bars just as Adonis was about to deliver the final blow. But she fired her weapon repeatedly as the beams indeed reflected and are bouncing around out of control, and two managed to hit Adonis's weak spots: his armpits. Then his armor suit started to short circuit and fell apart as the real weakling Adonis had fall unconscious.

"Winner: Bumblebee!" Announced The Master's voice again. Then she disappeared.

Crane vs Jynx

So far these two hadn't got the upper hand against one another. They kept throwing telekinetic energy and hexes at each other until they finally were able to hit their targets. They both flew down and started to attack each other with punches and kicks. Until Jynx was able to grab the end of Crane's cloak and used it to swing him to the other side of their arena, but Crane hovered back at full speed and trip Jynx then he grabbed both of her pig tails and swung her into the water. Then she fired her hexes at the pillar that he was standing on and he too fell into the water. They were both fighting under water and Jynx was winning. She was starting the strangle Crane and keep him from reaching the surface. Then Crane stopped moving. But before she could reach the surface, Crane's eyes shot wide open and fired crimson energy out of them at Jynx which blasted her off of him then he flew out of the water and landed on another pillar.

Crane felt so weak that he didn't know if he could keep fighting, for three good reasons: 1. He could hardly breath and his body felt numbed. 2. He used up so much energy at once when he fired so many barrages. And 3. He was feeling strange and awkward about Jynx. Yes of course they are suppose to be fighting in this contest. But as soon as he once saw her, he felt strange inside his heart, like it had skipped a beat, plus he read her mind and discovered that she had a horrible life, before and after she had her powers, he don't know why she was called Jynx, but she didn't seem to be dangerous and superstitious to his eyes in fact she almost was similar to both Raven and himself. And maybe he just wants to help make her life better. But then she jumped at him from nowhere and placed her hands on his chest and fired her hexes at him. He was launched onto the next pillar and screamed in pain, his cloak, since it was soaked, was starting to get to heavy for him to carry, so he pulled it off. He felt major pain and heat coming from inside his chest, like it was burning. Then Jynx was gearing up for another attack, but Crane seemed to be collapsing, due to his chest burn, he felt it rising up into his throat, like he was going to throw up, but he then got back up on his feet. Then he fired streams of fire at Jynx, but she fired her hexes back at it. The streams were launched back at Crane, but had enough strength to dodge it. He then shot his Crimson laser out of his eyes at her which made a direct hit, but she still had a lot of strength to keep fighting. Crane couldn't take it anymore, his chest burn was getting worst, he even felt it starting to enter his throat right now. 'Man I'm going to...' He thought until it whatever it was, it's in his mouth right now. He couldn't hold it anymore. He only blast open his mouth to let it out, BUT! It wasn't vomit. It was LAVA! He only vomited out a blast of lava and it came out like a beam. (This is the same power that Trigon used on Beastboy, Starfire and Cyborg in 'The End' and they shield themselves with the Ring of Azar.)

Jynx knew that she couldn't doge or protect herself against an attack like this. She only braced herself for impact as she was swallowed by Crane's lava attack. When it was all over Jynx survived, but she covered all over in burnt ash. She then faint and Crane grabbed his cloak and put it back on. His chest burn was gone and he could relax, but that attack used up too much of his strength that he couldn't stand anymore. He then fell to his knees and was panting heavily.

"Winner: Crane!" announced the Master for the third time. Then both Crane and Jynx disappeared.

Blackfire vs Rapidfire

Rapidfire has taken a major beating by his sister. He still refused to fight her but she only responded in giving him pain. He only used his powers for defense. But it wasn't enough to keep him from getting hurt. Blackfire delivered another punch into his stomach, then another kick in his face. "I still won't fight you!" he yelled in pain.

"Why won't you fight me brother, is it because that you love me as a sister, well guess what..." Blackfire said as she fired violet starlasers out of her eyes which hit Rapidfire and sent him to the ground. "...I never loved you as a brother. I always wanted to destroy you and Kori as soon as the day you two were born. And now I'll have my wish: to be ruler of Tamaran once again without you two there to stop me. Our parents may have created us, but you were never my brother, and I never wanted to have siblings." she finished as walked over to him and picked him up by his neck and then threw him towards another one of those floating disc things. Blackfire then flew over and walked towards her brother. "What's the matter Ryan? Throughout our entire lives, On Tamaran or almost any where else the three of us go, our people and other people always liked me and Kori better, they gave us more attention than you. They always think me and Kori were better than you, do you know why? Because noone's a fan of your role as the lone wolf, because you like to keep your secrets and your problems to yourself." Tears started to drip down from Rapidfire's eyes. "And you never opened up to me and Kori, that's why everyone hates you, that's why I hate you, and maybe Kori hates you for that as well, I never really love you, and after all these years of me trying to destroy you, deep down inside your heart You really thought that I am and was your older sister that you always loved." She finished. (Sound familiar)

That's when she crossed the line big time. Rapidfire's eyes shot open in berserk rage as he jumped up and uppercut punch her in the chin and sent her flying, then he zoomed up and fired a barrage of red starbolts at her. Then she fell to one of the floating discs. He then flew over and grabbed her by the front collar of her outfit and his fist started to glow red, then he released his fury and punched her in the face, which had sent her flying, then he flew straight at her and grabbed her by her long black hair and swung her in a circle, then he threw at another floating disc. She got back up and flew straight at him but he fired red starlasers out of his eyes and hit her and she fell towards the disc. "I HATE YOU!" He screamed out as loud as he can as his red glowing eyes started to glow even more red, then he unleashed a power that not even Starfire nor Blackfire could know. He fired a powerful red starbeam through his throat and out of his mouth. The red Starbeam made a direct bulls eye hit at Blackfire's chest and she fell again onto the floating discs but this time, she was knocked out.

'Great now my transformation is going to happen soon, but when?' Rapid thought as he slowly calmed himself down.

"Winner: Rapidfire!" The Master announced the last time. Then the siblings disappeared.

The winners reappeared in the Master's throne room. Both Crane and Rapidfire were relieved that they had made it, but through major costs. Bumblebee and Mos and Minos were hugging and laughing at the same time. Then the Master of Games appeared on his throne.

"Congratulations champions!" called out the Master.

"No more, were done with your challenges, we don't care who's the champion of champions, we won't be in your contest any more, now released the losers!" called out Crane.

"The challenge is never over young champion. And besides, the losers are now mine, they are now trapped inside the amulet around my neck, and now their powers are now mine!" said The Master of Games.

"Release them or else we'll force you!" yelled Rapidfire.

"Is that a challenge I hear coming from you two young champions?" said The Master.

"As a matter of fact yes! We'll face you in one last fight, Winner Takes All!" said Crane getting ready to fight again since his strength had already returned to him.

"Very well, I accept your challenges, but since you two wanted to challenge me. We don't need those three to interrupt us." Then the Master of Games raised his amulet and sucked Bumblebee and Mos and Minos into his amulet.

"Let's get this over with." said Rapidfire.

"Very well. Crane and Rapidfire vs The Master of Games, LET THE FINAL ROUND BEGIN!"

TO BE CONTINUED... next chapter: Crane and Rapidfire must team up to Take down The Master of Games. But will their combine strength and teamwork be enough to win, wait till next time.
