Chapter 3

"A New Titan"

The ground shook as the giant bulky robot took a step forward. Kenji, able to keep his balance, now on guard grew determined. The robot sent down its fist as Kenji jumped back at the last moment. 'Whoa, he's pretty quick for a-' Kenji was then smacked back by the other hand and was sent flying into the ocean water. Kenji resurfaced, "-for a giant robot." He said spiting out water. The robot jumped in the air towards Kenji. Kenji grew shocked, taking a deep breath and headed underwater. The robot landed on its belly into the water sending a giant wave back to the island. "Surf's up!" Beastboy yelled as he turned into a hawk flying off with Terra on a rock as Starfire grabbed Cyborg getting out the way. The wave crashed into the rocks as some of the water smacked Robin and Raven in the face, in their elevated booth. The water receded as Kenji was washed up on shore staggering as he stood up. He looked back at the water to see the robot on his feet already staring at him with water dripping all over him. "Perfect." Kenji smiled as a sudden wind surrounded himself, drying himself off. Raven raised an eyebrow while Robin leaned over the booth's edge to take a closer look "Wind?" he asked himself.

Kenji disbursed the wind cutting his arm through it and brought his fists to his side as electricity shot out from them. "Now electricity?" Robin said as Raven took a step closer "Looks like we have not only a warrior but an Elementist too." She said. Kenji threw his arms forward as the electricity jumped out onto the robot and grew larger as it hit the water on it. The robot shook as it stumbled forward and then backwards, tipping over into the water as the electricity sparked out with the sudden income of more water. Suddenly a large explosion burst out the water sending another giant wave to the island. "Awwww man, at this rate we're gonna be living with Aqua Lad if this keeps up!" Cyborg said as Star grabbed him heading toward higher ground as Terra and Beastboy followed. Robin took a step back as a force field covered him and Raven as it vanished right before the wave hit the booth.

Terra looked over the steep cliff to see water and nothing but it "Where's Kenji?!" she said as Starfire gasped hovering over her "Do you think our new friend has…" "Let's hope not." Robin said stepping out of Raven's force field as it came out the ground. Beastboy pulled his ears down closing his eyes "Great! We let a fan have a chance at achieving his dream as a Titan, and what do we do? We kill him!" Beastboy shouted with guilt throwing his hands in the air. The others grew happy as they stared over the cliff as Beastboy walked back and forth in the background "We're criminals! We're supposed to be superheroes!" "Umm.. BB" Cyborg tried to interrupt "I can't go to jail! What if there's meat in the gruel they serve?" "BB…" "I might not even be sent to jail like you guys I might have to go to a doggy pound or something!" "Just look!" Cyborg yelled as his arm stretched grabbing Beastboy's head dragging him to look over the cliff. Beastboy opened his eyes to see Kenji waving at him and the others standing in the newly formed mud. "Oh." Beastboy said.
