Ch.22: One of Those Days

Gizmo began to load and cock a shotgun, and began work on a AK47 that he thought was malfunctioning or broken due to Price's ban of the product 5 years earlier so his soldier could have enough of them. While the little man was putting weapons together and loading them, Cyborg, Nightwing, Speedy, and Aqua lad were working on the T-car. Cyborg had came up with the plan to power up the T-car with more deadly weapons, including a large double barrel rocket launcher hooked to the top of the car with a attached metal compartment large enough for Gizmo to aim and fire without being in danger. There was also a machine gun attached to the large roof weapon. To the sides were there would be passengers were mini guns hooked to the sides so they could fire at the sides. Then in back was a large chain gun for any over looked villains. Cyborg had also attached steel plating all over the T-car in its various weak points or un-protected spots. While the team of men were hooking and attaching the weapons, Logan was busy loading a colt 45 and a few automated pistols. He placed them in his pockets, wrapped around his stomach, and two wrapped around his legs. On his back were two standard rifles with a laser point and a shotgun hooked between them. Logan was lucky enough to find a box of grenades and a grenade launcher that he handed to Cyborg for the T-car. But Logan attached 4 of them to his belt and prayed for a safe battle. Jinx, Starfire and Raven, were loading up pistols and shotguns. Starfire even found a large machine that Cyborg assembled for her. It was a hand held chain gun; all she needed was to place it on the floor and extend the tips so it would hold still while she fired. She kept the weapons around her back like a back pack. Speedy just had simple AK's for each arm and a bag full of ammunition, every one had there own hidden area for ammunition, Speedy was the only one with a large bag with it. When they had all locked and loaded they stared at Mas and Mynos. They had dual pistols and a large shotgun that they held together. Bumble Bee wore a black bandana over her forehead and chains of ammunition around her body and a large automated machine gun in her hands. Aqua Lad had a sniper rifle and a few grenades. Nighwting on the other hand had two Uzi's both with customized standing point like Starfire's Machine gun. Cyborg was the only person without a gun; even Sarah had a pistol and shot gun at the ready.

"Where's your protection big guy?" asked Cyborg to Mammoth over in the corner.

Mammoth chuckled and spoke softly.

"I've got it right here."

With that he turned around and looked like a fucking robot. He had steel plating over his stomach and chest; he also wore a steel face mask and on his shoulders where two long barreled weapons.

"What the hell is that?" asked Cyborg confused.

"These are rocket launchers, for a tank, but sense I myself am like a tank I found them fit enough for me, all I need to do is either a push the triggers in my hands, or bite down on a mouth piece inside my mask to fir them, just in case something happens to my arms."

"Very smart, is that it?"

"Hell no"

With that Mammoth pulled on a trigger inside his chest plate and the breast plates, and stomach plates spread open revealing concealed AK attachments for special fire on tanks. He was a breathing tank without wheels. There must have been a second trigger on his hand held gripping and mouth pieces as well.

"Fucking awesome."

"Yo Cye where's your shit?"

"I got it; don't worry about that…they'll be there when I need them."

Mammoth smiled but didn't truly understand, but he didn't question his new friend's ideas at all.

"So is everyone ready?" asked Nightwing with a small frown.

Cyborg walked up to the T-car and lifted Gizmo who couldn't reach the roof into his small chair and closed the compartment steel door. The cannon and chain gun started moving in different directions and there was a crazy familiar chuckle form inside.

"You bet butt munch, it's cozy in here."

Cyborg chuckled and slapped the steel compartment.

"Owww! My head is ringing you dip shit, aint you ever herd of an echo sound wave?"

"Course I have, it's on my arm you idiot that why I did that."

"Quiet fooling around you two we got work to do." Nightwing barked as he held back laughter.

Cyborg smiled and slapped it again and went to the gathering of the heroes followed by a dizzy looking Gizmo.

"O.k. guys, we need to take points, Aqua lad sense you're the only one with a sniper were gona need you to take point on a building just a 14 yards away from the army holding base. When we charge in we need you to take out anyone that seems to be a major threat to us, until that happens feel free to snipe out anyone one with a Price sign."

"I'll hit them right in the mark." smiled Aqua lad as he put his gun around his shoulder.

"I'm counting on it; now I am gona go with Logan to Price corp. I want to eliminate Riku myself can you all handle the army yourselves?" asked Nigtwting with a smile.

"Yes we will be fine Richard but will you? The Riku character seems much different than his father." Starfire said while she was placing a hand on her in the middle of her chest.

"Yes I figured that out, Riku is much more dangerous than his father lets on to be, so I think I should take him out before he can do some real damage."

"So whose gona take you all to Price corp.?" asked Bumble Bee,

"I'll take them in the van, then I will meet back up with you guys at the base, is that alright?" asked Speedy without looking at the team.

"Ya, but the T-car is gona be packed…but I guess somehow we can fit everyone inside." Cyborg said with a sigh.

"Well I can use my powers to lift everyone to the base." Raven added.

"You sure you're strong enough to do that?" asked Logan.

"I'm not a little girl anymore."

"Good then its settled we leave in one hour, we want to get there right when the sun sets, somehow I believe there gona leave at midnight, Price is that kind of dramatic guy." Nightwing said as he walked over to the T-car.

"But its only 7:00." said Aqua lad with a confused look.

"Well we don't want to give him too little of a time lapse."

"Fine by me, o.k. Titans lets get ready." Cyborg yelled out as he opened up his arm and started a countdown.

Price Corp.

Johnny Price was sitting in his office chair watching the sun come closer to the ground knowing that in little less that 5 hours he would control the city in a matter of minutes.

"Those Titans can't stop me now…no buddy can, I have eliminated all the threats in Jump City, there the only ones standing." He mumbled to himself.

Then he heard a voice come over his intercom.

"Sir, there is a video message from agent 4, he says its good news."

"Thank you Miss. Cross, please input it into my screen, then you can leave, no need staying for a dangerous presentation."

"Thank you sir, good luck."

"I don't need luck, I have power."

The intercom went dead and his large screen in front of his desk clicked on and a room was shown, there wasn't much to see because the lights were off but he could see a large bed behind a shadowed figure wearing a Price cloak with the symbol on the top of the cloak's hood. There was only a patch of white young skin shown through the darkness.

"Yes agent 4 good evening I suppose all is going according to plan?"

"Yes master, I have located the Titans and wish for a squad team to come down to Bobby's Bullets, on Mercer St. they are holding up there, but there is a side door tell them to come through there silently, I am across the street in a motel I can see it all from my window." said a soft young voice.

"Thank you agent 4; if I may call you that."

"Call me Deadeye sir….Deadeye."

"Very well Mr. Deadeye, a squad team is on its way."

Price closed the video screen and sat back in his chair. He clicked a button on the bottom of his watch and held it to his mouth.

"Team Orlander…I need you to do something for me."

Back outside of the Price corp. building, the shadowed agent 4 known as Deadeye sighed and rubbed his unseen eyes.

"A man's got to do what a man's got to do."

The shadowed character looked outside his window and could see Price's military base from it, he saw a small black dot start to move forward from it. But from there he could see 12 soldiers marching shoulder to shoulder with M16's to the sides.

"A man of his word, there is no doubt."

20 minutes inside of Bobby's Bullets. The team of titans and HIVE students were bored out of there minds. They were nervous beyond belief and a few times Mammoth, Logan, and Nightwing had risen to go vomit in the bathroom from nervousness. But sitting around and waiting for the sun to fall was actually the most horrible thing they have had to do yet.

"Come on you son of a bitch, hit he floor so we can finish this." mumbled Cyborg to himself.

"Calm down big guy…it will all end soon enough." smiled Speedy from the top of the staircase.

"Your one to talk." He said back silently.

The sun had almost come close to the earth when Logan looked up and sniffed the air. His pointy ears were ringing and he got up and walked over to the door. He put his ear to the wall and tried to listen outside. He soon was hit with a loud sound of a cocking gun.

"Everybody hit the floor now!" he yelled out as a barrage of bullets came blasting through the walls.

Raven was quick to react by putting up a large black aura shield around everybody including Logan. The bullets hit the shield and evaporated into the blackness. When the barrage stopped she let down her shield and saw Logan stand up next to the door and signal for everybody to scatter. There was a loud bang on the door and then it creek open and in the doorway was a tall man, his body armor was a silverfish black with the Price sign on his chest. His helmet was different than regular Price soldiers. He had pure black helmet with an eye shield that was crimson red. His forehead had a three dotted sign with a red light shining from it making a laser pointed signal. His eyes were all black from what anyone could see from the eye shield. He held a M16 and a pistol in his hands. Bullets lay at his feet in piles.

"No sign of any living life form yet captain. I will start the retrieve search immediately." He spoke softly with a deep voice.

Logan pulled out his Massacre from his pocket and released the blade slowly. He put the tip of the blade at a point wear it met the guards head. He pulled the door back and swung it hard sending the guard outside and with a quick motion stabbed the blade through the door and cracked through the guards circle symbol and exiting out of his skull. The Massacre returned to its original handle and he listened outside for more footsteps. He heard to pairs of them walking to the front of the door. He looked threw the hole made by his blade and saw another similar looking guard reloading his M16. Logan took a grenade and stabbed it into the small hole. The green man knocked on the door and heard the guard cock his gun quickly. Logan smiled and jumped back to the nearest right corner. The guard fired his M16 at all places of the door. And like Logan hoped he shot the grenade setting it off and blowing the door and most of the outer area and inner area up. Logan laughed when he heard the guard scream as it exploded. To be sure Logan withdrew his shotgun and had it at the ready. He picked over the corner and saw a body on the floor, its entire front part brunt and shredded. Then he saw a person on the floor he was holding his leg that wasn't there. Blood and meat was splashed onto the floor in front. Logan withdrew a pistol and quickly shot the guard in the skull and saw him fall flat on the cement. The warm red liquid oozed out of his skull and onto the floor. Logan double looked the porch and then looked inside.

"Check all the doors, someone hit the side door and someone hit the factory entrance now!"

Speedy ran to the side door while the others went to the factory door being the largest and weakest entrance in the store. Speedy went into the small room and heed in the darkness waiting of ran attack, while Cyborg stood guard in front of the closed door and Speedy inside, Logan walked out of the room and picked up the 3 ownerless M16's while he searched the remainders of the bodies, he found clips and pistol ammo, a couple army knives and a handful of grenades which he placed in his back pack. He then too a enemy pistol in hand and army knives in the other and slowly stepped over the bodies and to the corner of the store making sure to have no trace of footsteps. He slowly peeked around the corner and saw a group of soldiers standing outside the door, 3 of them had guns pointed at side door. Logan slowly walked up behind the group and took one army knife and stabbed it through a guard's neck and out of his throat. The he quickly made a pez dispenser out of the guard next to him. The rest of the group had heard the last attack and turned around and one of them got a army knife in the skull. One of them pulled out a pistol but Logan grabbed a guard coming up to him by the shoulder and pulled him in to block the shots being made at close range. He then snapped the wounded guard and did a front flip off of the dead guards still standing body and slammed the back of his boot into the pistol guards head. Before he hit the ground he spun in the air and slammed the guard face first into the pavement and dropped his elbow into the back of his neck. Logan got up quickly and avoided shots of pistols. The wounded guard began to get up but Logan used his body as a spring board and leapt over 2 guards that were firing at him. In the air he slammed his feet down on the collarbones and snapped them both. As he landed he smashed the guards head's together and pulled there necks in opposite directions snapping them and instantly killing them both. The now almost prop like guard was getting up but Logan jumped sideways and pushed off of his stomach sending him backwards and Logan into the remaining 5 guards. Logan then flipped up and wrapped his feet around a guard's neck and pulled him self up on the guards body and slammed his fists into the guards head like a gorilla would. He saw a guard loading his pistol and quickly grabbed the body of the fallen guard and slammed it up against him. Logan took the guards pistol arm and snapped it; he then placed it to guards jaw and fired. There were 3 more rising guards and Logan used the two pistols he now had to fire bullets into all of them, one shot after another. The guards all fell t the floor dead in a know pool of blood from all of there comrades. Logan smiled and turned around to see the one guard that he had used as a prop. The guard held a pistol to Logan's chest.

"I am no fucking joke." laughed the guard as he pulled off his wrecked helmet.

Logan laughed and smashed his boot into the guard's knees turning his legs inside out. The guard fell; to the floor and his skull was smashed by a large boot. His eyes popped out of his head and oozed blood, meat, and brain tissue. The last guard was finally dead.

"No your not a fucking joke…you're a fucking annoyance."

With that Logan began his raid of all the guards of all there weapons and ammo. As he carried all of the weapons inside, he saw Speedy looking at him with hell fire eyes behind a mask.

"Where the fuck was you?" asked Logan with an eyebrow.

"You handled yourself so good I thought it would be rude to interrupt." Speedy answered with a sarcastic tone.

Logan wiped the blood off of his brow and walked back into the store were he laid the guns and ammo down on a table. While Speedy kept staring back at Logan and the sign of carnage and blood shed outside the door. He rubbed his eyes behind his mask and sighed.

"Damn, this is gona be one of those days."
