Sweet Temtation.
Chapter 2
Those Days.
Beast Boy yawned as he continued typing on his computer. Raven was sleeping on his bed, and he just pulled an all nighter on the computer. He's composed 4 songs already. The world map took him the most time. He finally made up how to make it. The second song was the villian theme. It was hard work composing songs for a video game. You had to keep in mind how much space all of this music will take up on the disk. You have to use the minimum data possible. He could go all the way, but he just had to keep that in mind.
The main character's name was Hibiki Tokai (Heheh). He was a normal teenager who falls into a portal, sending him to another world. Now he has to save the galaxy as well as save the princesses of each world in the Guild galaxy. He just truly wanted to get back to his world. He falls in love with one of his female teammate, Dita (Heheheh.).
Beast boy yawned once more as he streched his arms. Its been a while since he pulled an all nighter. He was having lots of fun with what he did. No shame in that...mostly.
He found himself staring at Raven for a while. When she was sleeping, she seemed so peaceful. Nothing was bothering her. She was just resting. Away from everything bad in life.
He stood up and did his morning push-ups, and sit-ups. He always did one hundred each every morning. Thats how his legs went from boney to normal, and his puny stomach and arms to mostly muscular. Once finishing he walked into the Kitchen, grabbed a piece of bread, covered it in sugar, made some coffee, and went back to his room.
He almost forgot that he was supposed to be getting paid for this job. $575 a week. Pretty awesome. There were so many things he wanted to buy. For starters a decent MP3 player. He needed to upgrade his state-of-the-art computer too.
He sat down at his chair and began eating his breakfest. Bread covered in sugar, and coffee. So awesome. Once finished he went into the bathroom to brush his teeth. Thats something he was always careful about. His perly white teeth. His perly white very celan teeth. His breath always smelled and tasted fresh. No problems if he were to suddenly kiss a girl.
Once he was finished he went back to his work. It was only a few hours later that the other's began to wake up. They each said good morning to Beast Boy as they walked by his room. Raven was the only one who didn't wake up yet.
Beast Boy got started on his 5th song. He was making great time. If he continued like this everyday, he would have no problems. Of course he did have a life...or so he thought. He shook the thought from his head. The next song was supposed to be for the first cavern. The Cave of Guildiam. It had to introduce the player to the cavern atomosphere, but still keep everything on the level the player should be. Another hard one. When you think about it. In RPGs, the music is everything.
The sound of Raven moaning in her sleep broke Beast Boy from his thoughts. He grinned, "Good morning sleepy-head. Its 11:43 and your just waking up."
Raven groaned shifting the way she was, "Your bed is so soft. I sleep more on soft beds..."
He nodded, "Yeah. I know. Same thing happens to me every morning. Thats why I'm always the last one to wake up every day, you know?"
She sighed getting up and streching, "I can't believe I slept in your room."
"Whats wrong with that?"
"Nothing," She heading towards the door. She stopped then turned back, "Did you stay up all night working?"
He nodded, "Yeah? Why do you ask?"
"No reason," She said walking out of his room and towards hers. She would love to stay in that bed all day. Of cours she couldn't. I mean, how would that look?
For the first time in weeks. The alert system went off. Robin nearly choked on his cereal as he jumped to the Titans main computer, "An attack? Its downtown."
"Anyone we know?" Cyborg asked.
"Unknown," Was all that Robin had to say. He and the rest of the Titans ran outside towards the T-car. Beast Boy decided to fly. Raven flew, Starfire flew, and Robin took his T-cycle. Cyborg grinned. Less weight meant faster car. The team quickly went to the sight of the attack and stopped.
Floating right above a very large pile of rubble was a man in a dark-brown trench coat. He had a top hat on that was covering his face. All you could see were his piercing red eyes. In his hands were two silver 45 calibar guns. He had two Katanas in their sheath, and four hand-guns in their scabbards.
Under him were dead bodies, and lots of fire. It seems this unknown foe did a whole lot of damage in such a short period of time. It was obvious he used all of his weapons. You could tell from the dead carcasses sliced in half. Some had organs seeping out of their large wounds. Arteries splattering everywhere from being outside the body. The scene was enough to make you puke.
Beast Boy gasped, "Dude..."
Robin glared death at his new foe, "This guy is crazy! Just look what he did to everybody? And he can fly..." He grabbed his pol and extended it, "Titans, Go!"
Cyborg jumped out of the T-car and fired a sonic beam at the foe. It passed right through him, as the foe stood there looking at all of then. Starfire quickly grabbed Cyborg and flung him towards the foe. Cyborg tried an aerial punch, but that went straight through him as well. He slammed into the hard ground knocking him unconious.
Starfire quickly threw massive amounts of Starbolts at the new foe. This time they didn't go through him. They dissappeared then reappeared blasting through starfire, sending her limp body towards the ground. Robin gasped and caught his girlfriend, then gently laid her down.
Raven flew towards the foe, "Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos!" She chanted taking a bus and hurling it right through the foe. It simply passed right through him. Beast Boy growled and changed into an eagle, flying towards the foe. Once there he reverted to his normal form and slammed his fist right into the foe's body. Surprisingly he made contact, but it didn't do damage.
The foe quickly grabbed Katanas and did a quick cross slash. Beast Boy's eyes went wide when he felt the blades rip right through his skin. His cold body began falling down. The foe wasn't finished yet. He grabbed both shot guns and repeatedly blasted at Beast Boy.
Blood was splattered everywhere as the changling slammed onto the ground with great force. He was unconcious. He was in a near-death state. He was lying in his own pool of blood, and didn't even know it. Raven gasped and ran to his aid. She heard The foe silently whisper, "Beast...Boy?"
Robin growled and through his mini-bombs at the foe. The foe quickly grabbed all 5 and threw them each at the team members. It blew Cyborg further back. It blew Starfire through a few tall buildings. It blew Robin back a few hundred feet, and it blew Raven and Beast boy further into the creator.
The foe simply smiled, "Remember my name, humans. Tarak." With that he dissappeared. Raven was the only one who heard his name. She turned her attention to Beast Boy. He was dying. Very quickly.
Raven gently laid all of her team members on the couches with her powers. She was most worried about Beast Boy. His body felt cold. She held him close hoping that medicine she gave him worked. His head was resting on her lap. She wondered who that man was. Tarak he said his name was. If he wanted to he could of killed the Titans right there, but he did not.
A few hours passed and everybody was awake, all except for Beast Boy. He didn't wake up. Raven had to keep her emotions down or else something would explode. She wanted to cry. What if Beast Boy never woke up? What if he died?
Robin groaned lying on the chair, "Hey Raven. Don't worry about Beast Boy. He'll pull through. What we need to do now is find out just who Tarak is." He dragged himself over to the main computer and typed in Tarak. Almost instantly one result popped up, and Robin clicked it, "That seemed too easy."
The Bio read:
Name: Tarak Lech. Also known as "Tarak The Wicked."
Sex: Male
Age: Unknown
Birth date: Unknown
Blood type: Unknown
Not much is known about this Alien Life-force. He carries many weapons and is said to be lethal. In the course of 25 years he has concquered galaxies and worlds. His current target is planet Earth.
Beast Boy groaned, "T-Tarak."
Raven gasped, "Your awake. You've been sleeping for a very long time, Beast Boy." He sat up and looked at the Bio on the large screen. Tarak Lech. "Tarak The Wicked". Beast Boy, "Its...Thats...my brother."
Beast Boy squirted some BBQ sauce on his tofu platter. He sighed as he explained everything to his Teammates one last time, "I never told you all, but I have an older brother. He wasn't able to shapeshift like me, but when it comes to weapons, he kicks ass. He's known as 'Tarak The Wicked' and is feared by all galaxies. I didn't tell you all eariler because I thought you might...regret bringing me into the team."
Starfire placed a comforting hand on Beast Boy's shoulder, "We could never regret you, Beast Boy. You have been our friend for a very long time, regardless of what your past has been like."
"So this Tarak is a tough dude?" Cyborg asked looking just as serious as Robin, "He's unstoppable?"
Beast Boy nodded, "I never thought he would come to earth...He...He promised me he wouldn't come here. That basterd went back on his word!"
Raven was surprised at Beast Boy. It was super rare that Beast Boy got angry. He was usually in his usual mood throughout the day. She sighed and walked towards her bedroom to meditate.
Robin shook his head, "No body is unstoppable. Trigon was the lord of evil. We took him down. So Tarak should just be as easy to destroy."
"No," Starfire said, "Tarak will not be easy to destroy, Robin. Tarak is Beast Boy's brother."
Beast Boy nodded and began down the hallway, "Yeah...my big evil brother." He stopped at Raven's room and knocked on the door. He heard her sigh in fustration as she slid the door open.
"Yes?"
Beast Boy grinned, "I just want to say thanks for helping me back there, Raven. I couldn't of-" He was thrown off guard of the feeling of Raven in his arms. She embraced him tightly and cried onto his shirt. Some papers and books in her room being thrown all over the place due to her emotions.
"I...I was so scared, Beast Boy. I thought you were going to die."
The green changling blushed 3 shades of red, 'Whats with Raven? Shes never acted like this before.' Beast Boy thought as he held her in his arms, "Raven? You were worried about me?"
"Yes, I was."
"Well why?" Beast Boy asked in confusion, "You've never cared about anybody but yourself and Robin...no offense." He was even more surprised when he saw red tint over her face as she said.
"I just am, okay?" She said staring at the confusion in his eyes. She backed away from him and walked back into her room motioning Beast Boy to follow. Once inside she locked the door.
Beast Boy just looked around the room as if it was his first time in there. Books were sactterd around the room like crazy. He turned his full attention to Raven, "What did you call me in here for?"
Raven went over to her bed and grabbed a certin book. Inside that book was a small picture. Raven grabbed the picture and walked over to Beast Boy, "You said Tarak is your brother, right?"
Beast Boy nodded, "Yeah."
She handed him the picture, "Is this Tarak?"
Beast boy stared at the picture hard then sighed, "Well...it does look like him. We were just little kids when he dissappeared and became an outlaw. Where did you get this picture?"
Raven sighed, "He attacked Azarath a long time ago. We just managed to provoke him to leave, when everyone in Azarath combined power. It wasn't nearly enough to destroy him, but we gave him a warning. I guess he just didn't feel like killing us all that day."
Beast Boy shook his head and headed for the door. He still hurt in places but it wasn't that bad, "Okay...Well I've got some work to do. I'll see you later."
Once inside his room Beast Boy checked out the list. He had to go to the office tomorrow so he wanted at least 15 songs done. He's done 4 so far. He had a whole bunch of work ahead of him. He was going to begin typing when he felt a pair of really soft hands go around his neck.
Beast Boy closed his eyes as a woman in his head flashed, "Marina...Hey Raven, your hands feel like my-" He turned around and gasped. Standing right before him was a very beautiful woman. She was wearing a dark red mini skirt, with a matching tight shirt.. Her hair was black and it fell down just past her shoulders. Her hair was a nice shade of just slight tan. Her eyes were sky blue and matched the little flower that was in her hair. Her green skin was so smooth and perfect. Beast Boy's mouth dropped knowing exactly who is twas. The woman smiled and said, "Hey Beast Boy. Your dating another woman now?"
"Marina!" He gasped getting a better look at her, "Your...Your on Earth!" He ran up to her and gave her a tight hug. She giggled and held him close, "Marina! I can't believe its really you!"
She smiled, "I just thought it was time to come and see you. I felt bad about what happened a long time ago. I just did what had to be done."
Beast Boy finally let go of her and took a step back, "So what are you doing here on Earth?"
"I just thought I should come and check up on my old boyfriend," She said with a sexy smile. Beast Boy grinned, "I wanted to see how you were doing. I see you've grown."
Beast Boy smirked, "And I see you've grown" He said pointing to her breasts, "So how long are you staying on earth?" He was hoping for a long time. Marina was his ex-girlfriend. They didn't break up, but something happened back of Beast Boy's home planet.
"I'm just passing through for the day," She said staring out the window, "But I was hoping for a night I would never forget." She said watching Beast Boy turn off his computer, "I'll be back someday."
"So you want something strong to drink I presume?" He asked. She nodded as he left his room to go get some drinks. He snuck into the kitchen and looked in the drawer. Ha gasped as he pulled out a bottle, "What the hell? Who drinks Sake in America?" He shrugged it off and grabbed two fancy glasses. He then zoomed off into his room.
"I got what you needed, Marina." Beast Boy said as he walked over to her. She smiled at him as she glanced at the bottle, "Yeah I know its strange to drink Sake but its all we had." He poured them both a have glass.
She smiled as she pulled out a dropper with some red liquid inside it. She gave Beast Boy a hug as she poured just a little into his glass. She pulled back and made sure she didn't see what she did.
"A toast," Beast Boy said holding up his glass, "A toast to Japanese drinks. And to us!"
Sitting in his seat typing up his 15th song, Beast Boy yawned loudly. He didn't get much of a workout because Marina said she was a virgin and wanted to stay that way. All they really did was hug a few times and talk about the old days. It was 6:00am and Beast Boy had to finish this next song to impress Mr. Harpies.
This song was supposed to be sad. One of the characters died and the song was suppose to fill the player with emotions. The tough part about this was that this song was supposed to have at least half of the fanfare in it. Almost like a remix of the fanfare in slow version.
He heard a knocking at his door which made him jump. He stood up and opened the door, "Raven? What are you doing here?" He took the cup of coffee she handed to him and drank it all in one sip, "Raven, its 6:03 in the morning."
"You were up all night," She said turning to him, "I woke up a little early and I heard typing."
Beast Boy sat down at the seat and continued typing, "Hey Raven. Maybe after I present my work to Mr. Harpies, we can go out for pizza? Just the two of us."
Raven stared at him for a moment, "I don't think so Beast Boy. Maybe you should go to work by yourself."
Beast Boy gasped and clicked his mouse a few times. With a few keys to type he quickly pushed the play button and a song came out. It was perfect for the 15th song. It had the fanfare in it but he added parts to it and made it a slow beat. He added it into the folder, saved it in a disk and took it out.
"Wow...you can make music like that in a video game?"
Beast Boy nodded putting the disk in his CD case, "Its obvious you haven't play games in a while. The technology has really increased." He headed for the door, "See you later. I'm going to get an early start to work. The sooner I get there, the sooner I can get back." He ran outside and began his walk towards work.
It was 1:00pm and Beast Boy still hasn't returned to Titans tower. Apart from Cyborg flipping through channels like crazy, and Robin making out with Starfire, Raven didn't have much to complain about. She was way in the back of the living room meditating. Finally the big door was swung open to the side and Beast Boy stepped in.
Raven opened one eye and gasped. Beast Boy had a bullet hole in his leg and it looked like he was beaten to a bloodly pulp. Starfire quickly ran to his aid as he fell to the ground unconcious, "Beast Boy! You must open your eyes, friend!"
Robin shook his head, "Lets lay him down on the couch and fix his wounds. He's unconious so there isn't anything we can do right now."
