Chapter 5 "Rescue"
"Firebird are you there? Firebird come in." Circuit's voice came from the communicator on the floor. Firebird bent down and picked it up. "I'm here, just a little shaken up."
"Okay, don't worry about Timezone." Cyberwasp cut in. "Since Ravager was with him they should still be in the city."
"Okay I'll be back at the tower as soon as I can-"
"No stay where you are, we'll search for Ravager and contact you once we find her."
"Yo, who's this Ravager anyway?" Cyborg asked off-screen.
"We'll explain back at the tower."
The signal broke off their.
(ttb)
"Slade." Robin's voice echoed threw the room.
"Ah, so nice that you remember me." Slade said "Though I'm sure you've tried to forget about my presence."
"How did you survive Terra's attack?" Robin yelled remembering that Slade fell into the lava created by the volcano the former Titan accidentally triggered.
"You don't know?" The masked man questioned. "Well you'll just have to see for yourself, if you live long enough of course."
Robin's eyes narrowed 'What is he planning?' he thought to himself. His eyes then fell on Ravager. "Who's that, your new apprentice?"
"Oh, forgive me for not giving any proper introductions. Robin this is Ravager, my daughter."
(ttb)
"Say what!" Cyborg shouted. The seven remaining titans returned to Titans Tower, where the Cyberwasp and the others told Cyborg and Beast Boy about Ravager, including who her dear old daddy was. "Slade has a daughter?"
"Dude that's just un-Slade like." Beast Boy blurted out.
"That's love; you never know where it'll bring you." Arella said.
"Good point."
"So now that we have you guys up-to-date, how do we find Robin?" Changer asked.
"Can't we just track him from his communicator?" Archie suggested
"The hardware is forty years out dated." Cyberwasp said.
"So is ours." Cyborg pointed. This gets Beast Boy's brain working. "Dude, that's it!" The green shape shifter shouted.
"What's it?"
"We'll use our communicators to find Robin."
"Good idea…wait Beast Boy had a good idea?" Cyborg quickly shrugged it off and activated his arm communicator while Beast Boy took out his. After several seconds a little red dot appeared on Cyborg's screen. "I got a lock on his location."
Cyberwasp took out his comm. "Firebird we found were Robin is and am sending the coordinates right now."
The Titans set out shortly after Cyberwasp sent Firebird the location. She met up with them on the streets. Once she got there Arella used her powers to remove a nearby sewer lid.
"Dude, why did it have to be the sewers?" Beast Boy asked once they got down.
"It's the perfect hiding place." Archie answered, "How many people would think to look down here?"
While they walked through the sewers Slade, Ravager and Robin, who is still tied up, watched them on monitors.
"Excellent, the Titans are coming." Slade spoke then turned to Ravager. "Is everything prepared?"
"Everything's all set, but I must ask you something. If we can destroy them now, why do we need Timezone's help anyway?"
"If Timezone had finished the Titans off in the past we wouldn't have to do this now would we."
Ravager shrugged unsure how to answer then walked out of the room. Slade turned back to the monitors to see that the teenagers had entered his base.
They silently walked down a path. Beast Boy was the first to break the silence, "Dude, why can't Slade be like an ordinary bad guy and have statues and pictures dedicated to himself?"
Before anyone could respond a laser hit Beast Boy knocking him over. Slades robots were blocking their path, and Ravager was the leader.
"Hello Titans. Dad's been expecting you." As she said this the ninja like robots sprang to life and went for the Titans.
The Titans jumped out of the way. Firebird flew into the air and threw some firebolts at the robots while avoiding some lasers. One tackled her from behind knocking her to the ground.
Cyborg punched one robot after another then whipped out his sonic cannon and fired it at several more. Beast Boy and Changer turned into a wolf and cheetah. They jumped on and dug their claws into the ninja robots. Arella used her powers to push them into the walls or into each other.
Firebird threw off the robot on her and took out her bo-staff. She jabbed it into on of the robot heads. Arella then flew over. "We'll take care of these guys, go find Robin!" Firebird nodded and flew off her bo-staff still in her hand.
Cyberwasp fired his sonic cannons getting rid of more ninjas. Several started jumping on him, but he used his bee stinger like a top and spun around. The robots flew off him and into the walls or into other robots. Meanwhile Archie fired arrow after arrow at Ravager. Ravager dodged a few, then took out a bo-staff. She used it to block more arrows then ran forward. She swung at Archie's ribs. The archer girl jumped back and used her bow to block a second strike. After getting to a good distance Archie strung another arrow into her bow and fired it, but Ravager avoided that one also.
(ttb)
Firebird opened the door leading to where Slade had Robin tied up. She saw Robin and flew over. "Are you alright?" she asked untying him from the pole.
"He hasn't been harmed." A voice said. Firebird looked up at one over the balcony's to see Slade his bo-staff in hand. Firebird quickly untied Robin and took out her own bo, as did Robin. Firebird flew up to Slade while Robin used the gears and beams. Firebird struck first connecting with Slades staff when he blocked. Robin came up from behind trying to kick Slade in the head. However Slade was one step ahead. He spun around knocking Firebird into some gear and Robin off the ledge.
Robin to out his grappling hook and fired it at a support beam and used it to swing to a safe area. That safe area wasn't safe for long. Slade jumped down trying to aim a kick at Robins face, but Robin rolled out of the way then lunged forward with a punch. Slade grabbed Robins hand and kneed him in the stomach bring Robin to his knees.
Firebird flew in back into the action kicking Slade in the side. "For someone whose got to be in his early seventies this guys pretty tough." She muttered.
"Tough or not he's still going down." Robin said painfully rubbing his stomach.
Firebird watched as Slade easily recovered from her kick. 'Yeah but it won't be easy.' She thought as Robin ran at Slade.
(ttb)
Archie fired another arrow, which Ravager effortlessly avoided then ran forward for a kick. Archie got out of the way and searched through her quiver for another arrow, but she didn't have anymore.
"Out of arrows are you." Ravager said. Archie scowled and ran forward trying to get her fist on Ravagers face, but Ravager grabbed her arm and twisted the archer-girls body around so body was facing the opposite direction and shoulder was being pulled back.
"You do realize you were fighting a losing battle the whole time right." Ravager said. Archie tried to turn around, but her arms position made it impossible and sent more pain down her spine.
"Not very strong without your arrows are you." Ravager taunted.
"Be quiet…"Archie whispered.
"But it's true, without any arrows you're useless."
"Stop it." She said much louder her blue eyes turning a yellow color.
"I'm only speaking the truth and you know it."
"Stop!"
The ground started shaking around them as the place started to cave in. Arella was the first to notice and used her powers to push Ravager off of Archie, who collapsed on the ground breathing hard. Circuit used his powers to trap Ravager in an electric net as Arella flew over to her red-haired friend.
"Are you alright?" She asked helping Archie up when she nodded Arella asked the next question. "What happened?"
"I'm not sure." Archie whispered. Her attention was changed when Robin and Firebird came running/flying down to them.
"We have to get out of here." Firebird said.
"What about Slade?" Cyborg asked. Robin shook his head, "He got away when the gears started to fall."
(ttb)
Several hours after all the chaos that occurred at Slades hideout the Titans returned to Titans tower.
"And thanks to the Teen Titans, Rose Wilson, also known as the Ravager, has been put behind bars. Her father has yet to be captured." The news was one while the Titans were sitting in their 'living room' trying to figure out how Slades hideout suddenly collapsed.
"The place was too stable to suddenly fall apart." Firebird said turning off the large TV as the newscaster reported of another company's failer to buy WAYNE ENTERPRISE.
"The only person who could do something like that was Terra." Beast Boy pointed out. "She could only do it when she was angry though."
"I did it." Archie said, fiddling with one of her new arrows.
"Uh, Archie last time we checked, you didn't have your moms powers." Cyberwasp pointed out.
"Well maybe I did, they were just dormant until now."
"Any idea if you'll be able to control them, or if you'll ever be able to use them again?" Changer asked. Archie stopped fiddling with her arrow and put it on the table.
"I'm not sure." She answered then changed the subject, "Don't we have more to worry about any way, like where Slade is or how we're gonna stop Timezone?"
"But…"Changer started, but was interrupted by Arella.
"Lay off Changer, we don't need you two arguing right now."
"I still don't get it." Robin said out loud.
"Get what?" Cyborg asked.
"How did Slade survive falling into the lava? No one can survive that."
"You're right and he didn't survive."
Robin looked at Firebird who spoke at that time.
"What did you say?" He asked to make sure his ears were working properly.
"I said that Slade didn't survive falling into the lava."
"Then how is he alive now?" Robin asked
"That is the story for another day."
End Chapter 5
Okay first off I'm sorry that this chapter didn't get posted sooner. Second school's starting in a few days so I may up-date more frequently or less frequently depending on how many study halls I get first semester (I tend to write faster and have more inspiration while in school ironic huh). So hope I get a Study hall filled schedule so I can update more frequently, I already have plans for the next two chapters and another Teen Titans story. Finally I apoligize if any dialogue seems...weird.See ya around.
