Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans. Wish I did thought. Cuz I would put me in there and I'd be kickin some serious rump!
(SKIT)
Cyborg and Beast Boy walked down the street talking about a game on Gamestation. Not far behind them, Terra and Raven walked as well. Terra tilted her head to the side as she watched Beast Boy.
"Hmm… I wonder why Beast Boy is green…" she said. Raven simply put her hood on. "Do you know why, Raven?" Terra asked her.
"No… What in Azarath makes you think I know?" Raven responded.
"Well… you two are LOVERS, aren't you?" Terra said.
Raven's eyes suddenly turned red with anger.
"… And that's how you beat Level 32!" Cyborg said as he folded his arms.
Beast Boy smiled brightly. "Cool! Now I'll be able to…"
Suddenly, Terra, who was fiercely tossed by Raven, hit Beast Boy dead on. The two of them went flying into a nearby tree. Cyborg watched the scene wide eyed. "Uh… what was that about?"
(END)
After the battle with Slade and the red-haired kid, Robin, Cyborg, Beast Boy, Terra, and Starfire all began to walk home together. Robin was estatic.
"Man, what a fight! Seeing that makes me want to train to be a fighter too!" He said happily.
"Oh please." Terra said as she rolled her eyes.
"What!" Robin said with a sneer.
"The last thing we need around here is yet ANOTHER wannabe tough guy!" She said back.
"I'm different!" Robin shouted. "I'll fight to protect! Not to bully! For truth… justice… and the American way!"
"Ok Superman." Cyborg said.
Robin ran ahead of the others. "I'll go home right now and start training with Batm—I MEAN with my dad!"
Starfire jumped up and down and started clapping. "Glorious! Let us celebrate our friend's new commitment!" she said excitedly.
"…Let's not…" Beast Boy said.
Cyborg, being Cyborg, decided to lighten the mood. "WHO WANTS TO PLAY A GAME OF ULTIMATE STANKBALL?" He shouted.
"I DO! I DO!" Beast Boy and Starfire said in unison.
The next day, Robin trained in the gym at Wayne Manor. He used the pair of boxing gloves he got for his birthday.
"I'll be so strong, I'll be able to take on Slade or that one bully, or anyone!" He thought as he happily trained.
Yes, it was a yet another beautiful Saturday afternoon. Outside, Beast Boy walked around, enjoying his afternoon.
"Dude! Today is a great day for…"
"YOU! GIVE ME YOUR MONEY! NOW!" came a voice from behind.
Beast Boy was suddenly frozen in his tracks. His skin even went from green to a sky blue like color. (His skin is GREEN, right!)
"T-That voice… it cant be…" Beast Boy muttered. He quickly whipped around to find The Red Haired kid yet again, staring him down. B.B. took a step back.
"B-B-But I thought… Slade…"
"Relax." Came another voice.
B.B. turned to see Slade with the red haired kid. "I am just training my new 'apprentice'." Slade said.
"Apprentice?" B.B. said, confused.
Slade handed B.B. a card, then turned to his apprentice. "Your approach is getting better. Now, on the next kid, I want you to focus more on physical appearance rather than verbal."
Beast Boy watched as the two of them walked away together. "Sometimes, the right appearance, stance, eye contact, etc, has a more profound effect on the victim rather than a loud voice…"
Beast Boy blinked with confusion, then looked at the card Slade gave him.
"Bully Training 101 in progress. Had this been an actual 'confrontation', you would have been required to hand over all valuables. We apologize for any inconvenience. Have a nice day."
Slade and the red haired kid (You know what? We'll just call him "Tommy") stood under a tree. Tommy took a seat, folding his legs, as he watched Slade.
"Bullying, like any other art form, must be executed with great care. Too much excessive force and the victim may go into permanent hiding after the first shake down. Too little force and you are in danger of not being taken seriously, jeopardizing any future repeat attempts." Slade explained.
"I see… so there's more to this craft than I first thought…" Tommy said.
Slade reached into a nearby backpack and pulled out some books. "Now here is some bully reading material. They should give you a better understanding of the career you have chosen to follow."
Tommy took the books, then followed as Slade lead him to an area where you could see a perfect view of the city.
"EVERYTHING as far as the eye can see is my territory. It took me MONTHS to acquire such a huge victim base. With lots of hard work perhaps one day you too can acquire something similar." Slade said as he pointed at the city.
"As far as the eye can see… impressive…" Tommy said as he looked at the city.
"Yes… well they're be more if those damn skyscrapers didn't block the view. I plan on having them demolished in the near future."
In the city…
Robin took a walk outside, determined to find a sparring partner. He was anxious to try out his new boxing gloves. What he found was an unsuspecting Beast Boy, sitting against a tree, taking a nap. A HUGE smile shot across Robin's face as he quietly walked over to Beast Boy. Without warning, Robin punched Beast Boy in the side of the head. B.B. fell over, shocked. He jumped to his feet to see Robin standing there in his boxing gloves. B.B. turned into a Rhino and started to chase Robin.
"I WAS ONLY TESTING THEM!" Robin shouted back.
Robin was able to elude Beast Boy as he hid in a bush. He poked his head out to make sure the coast was clear.
"Phew… that was close…" He said. Robin noticed that he was in Cyborg's neighborhood. "Hey! Cyborg! Maybe he's got some training robots at his house!" Robin ran to Cy's house, then knocked on the door.
Cyborg opened the door. He was wearing a belt of tools and a visor on his head. "Yo! Robin!" He said. The two of them gave each other dab.
"Whats up Cyborg!" Robin said.
"Not too much. Just making some cool new gear!" Cy said excitedly.
"Cool! So, you got any of those training robots?" Robin asked.
"Yeah…well my dad does. But what do you need with one of those?" Cy answered.
"Well I wanna do some training. The only thing I've done so far was use a punching bag… then I kinda sucker punched Beast Boy earlier."
Cyborg began busting up laughing. "HAHAHAHAHA! OH MAN, THAT'S HILARIOUS! But seriously Robin, you should take it easy on B.B. You know that boy get's picked on on a daily basis."
"I know. I thought he would be used to it by now. I mean, its not like he has any major injuries or something…"
Meanwhile…
Beast Boy walked around the park, dazed. "…what's my name again?"
Back at Cyborg's house…
Cyborg took Robin inside his laboratory. He showed Robin a floating spherical like robot that had two arms that hung from its sides. Boxing gloves were put at the end of the arms. The sphere had a large black shell that covered the sensors that served as its "eyes".
"This is my dad's pride and joy. It's the only fighting robot we have. We rent this bad boy out to professional boxers for training purposes." Cyborg said.
"That's cool… but it's kinda high, don't ya think?" Robin said.
The robot did in fact hover a few feet over the short Cyborg and Robin.
"Hmm… let me fix that." Cyborg said. He walked to the end of the lab, then came back with a large stool.
"Here ya go. Knock yourself out… not literally though." Cy said.
"… Your kidding, right?" Robin said as he stared at the stool.
"You got any better ideas?"
"Can't you make this thing hover lower to the ground!"
"Yo! Weren't you listening! I said my dad made this thing for PROFESSIONAL boxers! Not little kids!"
"Can't you put some damn legs on it so I can have something to hit!"
Cyborg got annoyed, then walked away. "I'll be in my workshop. Call me if you have something IMPORTANT to tell me…"
Robin groaned, then climbed on the stool, then took a swing at the robot. The robot however, just nimbly floated backwards. Robin shook his head, then climbed off the stool, picked it up, then moved it closer to the robot. He climbed back up on the stool and swung, but the robot simply floated backwards again. This process went on for at least 20 minutes.
"This is so STUPID!" Robin said after the 30th attempt.
Robin climbed back on the stool. This time he didn't take a swing. "Ok you stupid robot! If you want a piece of me, come and get it!" he shouted. But the robot just hovered there, as if waiting for Robin to swing again. Robin finally broke, then swung, but the robot moved back yet again.
"I hate technology…" Robin complained as he jumped off the stool.
Robin moved the stool closer and climbed back up top to repeat his swing tactic. The result was the same. That was it. Robin got so annoyed that he jumped off the stool, picked the stool up, but instead of moving it closer to the robot, he jumped up and swung the stool, shattering the robot in to millions of pieces. Robin then let out a sigh of relief, then walked into the work room where Cyborg was.
Cy was wearing protection goggles and using a blow torch on some new invention.
"Cyborg! Hey Cyborg… you got anymore of those fighting robots?" Robin shouted.
Cyborg looked over his shoulder.
"Huh? No, we don't… why!" he said. There was silence. "Oh no… YOU DIDN'T!"
Cyborg turned off his blow torch, then dropped all his tools as he jumped from his seat and ran into the lab. He saw the debris from the fighting robot that Robin shattered. Cyborg screamed.
"YOU… YOU… YOU DESTROYED IT!" Cyborg shouted.
"Yeah. Now who will I spar with?" Robin asked.
Cyborg turned to Robin with anger and fire in his eyes. "DO YOU REALIZE HOW MUCH THAT ROBOT COSTS IN PARTS! MY DAD IS GOING TO BLOW AN ARTERY WHEN HE FINDS THIS OUT! HE'LL TAKE THIS OUT OF MY ALLOWANCE… AND OUT OF MY BUTT!"
"Wow Cyborg… your pretty pissed off…" Robin said.
"YOU'RE DAMN SKIPPY I'M PISSED OFF!" Cyborg shouted.
Robin smiled. "WANNA SPAR!"
A vein could be seen popping out of the human side of Cyborg's head. Robin ran out of Cyborg's house, followed by an array of sonic blasts from Cyborg's arm.
Robin walked through the park a few minutes later. "Wow, Cyborg was pretty pissed. Glad I got out of there… I don't know why he was so mad though. His whole family are geniuses. Not like they cant make another fighting robot. He just needs some time to calm down. I'm sure he's forgotten all about this whole incident already…"
Back at Cyborg's house…
Cyborg was on his built-in phone, with his face still red from anger.
"HELLO, POLICE! WE'VE HAD SOME PROPERTY VANDELIZED…"
Back at the park…
Robin continued to walk around.
"Friend! How are you?" Robin turned around to see Starfire behind him. Robin went into goofy mode as when he always sees Starfire.
"Would you like to do the playing thing!" she asked.
"S-s-sure…" Robin said.
"Ok! What would you like to play? How about dolls?"
"Dolls? No way! That's boring!"
"No it isn't! Come on!" Starfire said as she pulled Robin's arm. She lead him over to her little play area, where a doll house and a pile of dolls sat on the ground. She handed Robin a male doll.
"Ok… You will be Mr. Newman, and I will be Mrs. Newman. We just got married and now…"
And so, Robin was forced to play dolls with Starfire. After a while, Robin, still wearing his boxing gloves, broke the male doll. Starfire gasped as she covered her mouth.
"YOU BROKE MY DOLLY!" she shouted.
"Don't worry! I'll fix it!" Robin said. But he only ended up breaking it even more. This enraged Starfire.
"Lets do something else, Star… playing with dolls is boring." Robin said.
"… NO IT ISNT… IT DEVELOPS RESPONSIBILITY!" Starfire said, her eyes turning bright green.
Robin crossed his arms. "No it doesn't. That's just something girls say because they know they cant do man things, so they play dolls as an excuse."
Starfire rolled up her sleeves. "THOSE ARE FIGHTING WORDS, BUDDY!"
Robin once again wore a grin on his face. "Wanna spar?" He jumped into a fighting stance.
Starfire began firing her starbolts at Robin. He jumped back and charged at Starfire and threw a punch, which connected with her hed. Starfire went down, unconscience, with her eyes in spirals.
Robin watched Starfire on the ground for a few minutes. "… Um, I think I might have over did it a little bit…Star… STARFIRE!"
Robin shook her to try to wake her, but it was no good. Starfire was out cold. Robin suddenly got a thought. "If she's knocked out… then ill have to give her… mouth to mouth!"
He climbed over Star, his heart pumping a thousand times per second and sweat rolling down his face. He was half an inch from connecting with Starfire's beautiful lips, until she started groaning. He quickly jumped up and ran off. "OH MAN! IF ANYONE SEES THAT, THEYRE GONNA CALL RAPE! I GOTTA GET OUTTA HERE!"
A few minutes later, Beast Boy walked around with the top of his had bandaged up from the sucker punch from earlier. He caught a glimpse of the unconscience Starfire. He gasped and ran to her side.
"OMIGOSH! STAR! STARFIRE! ARE YOU OK! WHO DID THIS TO YOU? WAS IT SLADE!" Beast Boy panicked.
Starfire began to mutter something in Tamaranian. Beast Boy began to listen close. "A bird knocked you out? What!" It was then that it hit Beat Boy like a ton of bricks. "…ROBIN!"
An hour later…
Cyborg was desparately trying to fix the fighting robot that was brutally destroyed by Robin, til there was a knock on the door. Cyborg quickly went to answer it.
"I swear if that's Robin, he's getting a sonic blast to the face!" he said. He opened the door, and Beast Boy and a woosy Starfire stood there.
"Hey Cy, have you seen Robin?" Beast Boy asked. "Hey suckerpunched me and knocked poor Starfire out!"
Starfire then spoke in Tamaran again.
"WHAT!" Cyborg said. "That jerk destroyed one of my robots a little while ago, then took off!"
Starfire finally came to her sences. "We must find our dangerous friend and give him the teaching of a lesson!" she said.
The three of them took off running down the side walk. "Theres no telling which poor kid will be his next victim!" Beast Boy shouted.
Back at the park…
Robin through a punch. His arm when right through Pud's blob like body. "Darn it, Pud! This isn't working!" Robin shouted.
It was then where Robin heard something behind some bushes. "What's that… I'll be right back, Pud!"
Robin ran over and took a peek into the bushes. Raven was sitting in deep meditation.
"Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos… Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos…"
"YES! It's Raven! She'll fight with me! And this time, I'm not taking ANY chances!" Robin thought.
He quickly ran to town and in a costume shop. He came out a moment later dressed exactly like Beast Boy. Died green hair, same clothes… only difference is he kept his mask on.
He looked at himself in a pocket sized mirror. "Yes! This is perfect! Now Raven will want to beat the crap out of me just by LOOKING at me!"
Robin dashed back to the park, and leaped over the bushes where Raven was meditating.
Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos… Azarath, Metrion, Zin…"
"HEY BABY!" Robin shouted.
Raven opened one of her eyes and caught a view of the disguised Robin.
"It's me! Beast Boy… the LOVE MACHINE! Here to give you some good lovin!"
Raven stared at Robin as if he were crazy. "Wanna go to the movies… and hold hands, baby?" Robin continued. Still, Raven didn't budge.
"Something's not right…" Robin thought. "Let's see… what's something Beast Boy would say…"
"How bout we go to the club and get FUNNNKAY!" Robin said with a huge grin. Raven still stared at him.
"This is SOOOO not working…" Robin thought.
Suddenly, Beast Boy popped his head in the bushes. "Hey Raven, have you seen…"
Robin and Beast Boy stared at each other for a minute. Robin then broke into a mad dash through the bushes. Raven and Beast Boy stared at the scene for a moment.
"I think Robin has been in the special herbs with Mad Mod…" Raven said.
Cyborg and Starfire joined them in the bushes. They all explained the situation to Raven.
"… So he took off after destroying your father's robot? That idiot! What was he thinking!" Raven said.
"Yeah! My dad is gonna be SO pissed when he gets home!" Cyborg said.
"Then he knocked me out and left me to rot like a Tamaranian sewer slug!" Starfire cried.
"…That jerk…" Raven said.
"HE SUCKER PUNCHED ME AND ALMOST GAVE ME A CONCUSSION!" Beast Boy shouted.
Raven stared at Beast Boy for a second. Ladies and Gentlemen, for the first time in her life, Raven dropped to the ground, LAUGHING! The bushes surrounding them began to get engulfed by Raven's sudden burst of laughter, then exploded. Cyborg and Starfire were a little scared by this, while Beast Boy crossed his arms and looked away, annoyed.
Raven finally got control of herself. "… None of you say that." She said solemnly.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the park, Pud watched Robin as he shadow boxed. Robin (now out of his Beast Boy disguise and back to his normal self) was obviously upset because he couldn't find a sparring partner. Pud closed his eyes, then opened them again.
"… Hey Robin. Have you ever seen a lynch mob?" Pud said.
"Huh?" Robin said as he looked at Pud. The two of them peeked into some nearby bushes to see Cyborg, Starfire, Beast Boy, and Raven looking around, each of them holding a garden tool.
"They're looking for YOU. And it doesn't take a mind reader to see that they are EXTREMELY pissed." Pud continued.
"Looking for me? Why? What did I do to get them so mad?" Robin said. Pud looked at him. "It also doesn't take a mind reader to see that your gonna have a LOT of enemies in your future."
"… We've gotta get out of here…" Robin said quietly.
The four mini titans looked around for Robin. "He could NOT have gone very far…" Beast Boy said.
"He's gonna need a plastic surgeon when I'm through with him!" Cyborg said.
Pud hopped along across the park, right past the others.
"Hey Pud! Have you seen Robin?" Beast Boy asked.
"Nope." Pud answered as he kept hopping.
"Well if you see him, give us a shout, ok?"
"Sure, why not."
Pud was soon out of sight. He looked around to make sure that Beast Boy and the others where nowhere in view.
"Coast is clear." Pud said. Robin poked his head out from Pud's rubbery stomach. "Phew! That was close… now lets get out of here!"
Pud continued to hop. As Robin kept his head out. "HEY PUD, LOOK! I'M ROO! LETS GO STEAL SOME HONEY FROM THAT STUPID BEAR AND BOUNCE ALONGSIDE TIGGER!"
"You know, I can take you back to the others." Pud said in a reminding voice.
The two eventually arrived at the half wall with the huge gap in it where the Slade/Tommy fight took place. The two of them sat behind it, as if they were hiding out.
"I'd go over and apologize to them but… well… Pud… I'm… scared…" Robin said. "You scanned their thoughts, didn't you? What do they plan on doing to me when they find me?"
Pud looked at Robin. "I'd tell you, but the SHOCK would most likely kill you." Pud answered.
Then there was silence for a good five minutes. Robin finally broke it with a new plan.
"Ok, check this out, Pud… I'll wait for them to cool down, then I go over there and apologize to them… a deep, sincere apology. That way, no bloodshed will occur."
Pud looked at Robin again. "That's a good plan. But there's just one fatal flaw in it."
"What's that?" Robin asked.
Beast Boy's head appeared over the wall. "HE'S OVER HERE!" He shouted. Robin's hair stood straight up.
Cyborg, Starfire, Raven, and Beast Boy surrounded Robin. He dropped to his knees as a last ditch effort.
"I am SO SORRY! I didn't mean to do what I did to you guys!" Robin cried.
"B.S.!" Cyborg shouted. "It's time to pluck me a birdie!"
"NO!" Starfire said. "Even though he did bad things to us, he is still our friend."
Robin jumped up and hugged Starfire. "THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!" He said happily.
"But still…" Starfire continued. "A punishment is in order."
Robin gulped.
"Please wait here while we confer a proper punishment for you." Starfire said. She walked over to Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Raven. They were all in a football like huddle. They talked amongst themselves for a few minutes. Suddenly, Cyborg popped out of the huddle.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN A MISSLE STRIKE IS OUT OF THE QUESTION!" He shouted.
Robin began to sweat. Cyborg joined the huddle again.
The others came out of the huddle and walked over to Robin. Starfire put her hand on his shoulder.
"Robin. We have thought of an appropriate punishment." She said.
Beast Boy walked over to him. "For making your friends suffer, we will now tie you to a chair, duct tape your eyes open, and force you to watch EVERY episode of Mucha Lucha ever made!"
"No… no… no… NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHH!" Robin shouted.
He dropped to the ground in hysterics. " PLEASE! ANYTHING LIKE THAT! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, JUST PUT A BULLET THROUGH MY BRAIN!"
Beast Boy crossed his arms as he and the others watched him in satisfaction. "See. Told you it would work!" B.B. said.
"I guess every dog has its day." Raven said.
"HEY! WHATS THAT SUSPOSED TO MEAN?"
Robin got off the ground and fiercely took his boxing gloves off. "Darn these stupid gloves! This is all because of them! I never should have put them on!" Robin ran, then threw the gloves as far as he could.
"I RELEASE THEE AND CAST YE OUT! BEGONE!" He shouted.
The gloves flew until they hit an unsuspecting paperboy doing his route. The paperboy was knocked off his bike and into the street, where a car, flying down the street, saw him and quickly swerved out of the way, hitting a fire hydrant. Water shot up from the fire hydrant as the man got out of his car seconds before the engine suddenly exploded.
Robin, Cyborg, Beast Boy, Starfire, Raven, and Pud watched the scene, wide eyed in amazement. Raven looked over at Robin. "I'm sure after that, you're a LOT safer to be around with."
The End.
The end of yet another fun misadventure. I hope you all enjoyed. Please R&R!
