Hello readers! This is the first serious chapter of the story. It's sort of short, but it contains many important things. This chapter picks up right after the end of Spawn of Slade. Really, it's liketwo seconds after that story ends.
Disclaimer: I do not own the Teen Titans and that is that. Aqua, Ventus, Ignis, Caelum, and the Doc are mine, so do not touch! 2-NY-1489 is QuietlyInsane's property that needed a home, so I put him in my story with her permission.
Teen Titans: Return of the Elements
Chapter 1:
Missing
"Missing," Robin asked. The remaining Elementals shook their heads in a sad conformation.
"We thought she may have come here, but I guess we were wrong," said Caelum looking around as if hoping Aqua was just hiding and was going to jump out and surprise them at any minute.
"She's not here," said Raven noticing Caelum's search.
"Come," said Starfire, "let us sit and converse." As they made their way to the living room, 2-NY-1489 came rushing towards them with his chain saw buzzing.
"Wait," cried Cyborg, "they're our friends."
"I am sorry," said the little robot, "I thought you were in danger."
"Who's this little guy," questioned Ventus.
"Oh, that's 2-NY-1489," said Cyborg.
"We call him Barry," Beast Boy added.
"Pleased to meet you," said Ignis offering her hand, which Barry took and shook.
"Where'd you get him," asked Caelum as he poked the little robot's metal exterior.
"We uh…it's a long story," said Robin.
"We'd like to hear it," said Ignis. And so, the Titans told the Elementals the story of their encounter with Project Apprentice.
TTT
"That sounds just awful," said Ventus after the Titans finished the story.
"It truly was," said Starfire, the memories still fresh in her mind.
"So you have no idea where Aqua or Slade is," asked Ignis.
"No," replied Robin, "but I'm starting to think that if we find one, we may find the other." The other Titans nodded in agreement. Suddenly, red lights began to flash around the Tower.
"Hey," said Cyborg, "you guys up for a little butt kickin'?" The group gave a collective shout and ran out the door.
TTT
As they arrived on the scene they were greeted by a salvo of laser fire from hundreds of Slade's robots. As the eight spread out explosions began to erupt around the battlefield as the group of teens quickly began to reduce the robots numbers.
Caelum, who was using his staff to tear through his mechanical opponents, suddenly noticed a shadow figure moving among the robots. As he turned to alert the others, he felt something smooth and cool wrap around his ankle. He watched in horror as his own staff was yanked out of his hands and wrapped around his legs by some unseen force. Before he fell to the ground, he let out a squawk that attracted the attention of Raven who was fighting nearby.
Raven quickly finished off the robots she was fighting and levitated over to where Caelum was trying to stand up.
"How did that happen," she asked pointing to the metal rod that was wrapped around his feet.
"Perhaps I can explain," said a voice behind her. Raven turned around to face a girl about her own age. She had black-green hair and was wearing what looked like the top half of a black ripped up tank top and some ripped black shorts. In her hair she wore a red ribbon, and she had scraps of white cloth wrapped around both her feet and arms. Her deep brown eyes stood out against her ghostly pale skin. She was very thin as though she had not eaten in days.
"Who are you," asked Raven.
"Your worst nightmare," replied the girl.
Well there's the chapter, and a cliffie (sort of) to boot. Too much talkingin this chapter for my tastes, but it had to be done.I apologize for the shortness, but I think the next chapter should be longer. I don't know when it will be up though because I have a ton of stuff I need to do for school, but I have an hour long study lab every day, so I think I should get it done soon enough. As always, please review!
