Chapter 12: Flashbacks, Time Jumps and everything in between
As James and Zer were departing on a cargo ship to avoid unnecessary suspicion, Richard, Yaegashi, Fong, Raven and Kong were seeing them off. As the cargo ship departed the five remaining walked away from the departure platform.
" Well I hope they do ok. I'm sure going to miss them." Kong said
" They'll be back Kong the mission should only last about a week or so." Richard said comforting his large feline-like friend.
" Well how about we get some breakfast huh?" Raven suggested looking up at Richard whose hand she was holding.
" Yeah breakfast sound good right now." And they walked off towards the mess hall.
" Is it me or do they seem a little clingy towards one another?" Fong asked. Yaegashi on the other hand was fuming at the actions between the two former titans.
As Fong and Kong walked after them to the mess hall Fong noticed that Yaegashi wasn't walking with them anymore, " Hey Yaegi are you coming or not?"
" No I've suddenly lost my appetite." The Twil'lke said harshly.
" Ok but I think that you need to put this into perspective. It might be hard to take but he broke it off, I'm mad about it too but I think you need to respect that he has chosen someone else."
" I won't except this, there is something wrong with him I know it and I'm not going to give up on him until I figure this out. You should of heard the way he was talking to me after the meeting yesterday Fong, It's not like it as Richard at all."
" Ok Yaegi but remember that if you try too hard your just going to hurt yourself if you don't get the results you want, and that is the last thing any of us want especially Richard." She tried to comfort her friend and give the best advice she could.
Time jump: 2 weeks
Richard was pacing around his room uneasily, " They should have been back by now. What could be taking them so long? I mean two weeks and not even a message from them."
" I'm just as worried about them as you are Richard but pacing around the room isn't going to help them." Ravens said.
" I know that love but I can't help it. I guess some habits even if you forget them never die" he smirked as he sat down on the bed next to her.
As they sat on the bed holding hands there was a knock at the door. Richard went to answer it, Luke was at the door and walked into the room not caring if he was being rude or not.
" Richard I need to talk to you now! And preferable in privet" he said looking over at Raven who got the message loud and clear, walking out of the room.
" What is so urgent Luke?"
" James and Zer were discovered and are now prisoners of the Shadow Academy" Luke blurted out.
" WHAT?"
" You heard me right. They were discovered and now are being held prisoner, but it gets worse."
" Really how?"
" Their asking for you to come and replace them as the hostage, it would seem that after they were discovered the leader of the school killed Vog'ue and is now requesting that you relinquish yourself for the disgraces you have caused them. This is looking bad Richard." Luke said looking very worried.
" Well it looks like I'm going to the Shadow Academy after all. Trust me Luke I'm not going to mess this up, I am going to get them both out and alive and complete the mission even if I have to die for it" he said with a fire in his eyes that hadn't been seen since his days as a titan going after Slade.
Without further warning Richard went to the hanger, got in his ship and made a be line for the Shadow Academy.
Raven walked in the room just after seeing Richard depart and asked Luke, " Do you think it was a good idea for him to go on his own?"
" Do you think it would do any good to send backup with him?" he asked back.
Time jump: Richard at the Shadow Academy
" This is Richard Grayson, Let me in before I let myself in" he said loosing patients with the Sith.
" Ah, Master Grayson so glad you could make it please come in" the voice of a women in her mid thirties answered back.
' Oh I'm coming in you just don't know what I'm bringing with me' he thought as he entered the station.
" That's right my new apprentice come to me." Lady Narssisa said to herself.
(A/N: now it all of you are thinking this is going to be a repeat of Slade's apprentice your wrong. I'm not that uncreative at to fall back on what has already taken place in the teen titan's story. Anyways read on dudes/dudets I'm not sure that's a word but who really cares)
As Richard landed he was escorted to Lady Narssisa's office, When he arrived Lady Narssisa herself greeted him ushering him to sit down in the chairs in front of her desk.
" Now let us discuess the business at hand, you sent spies into my school with the objective of destroying it why?"
" I thought that would have been obvious. We were just returning the favor for what you had your graduates do to our school. As for sending them in as spies that was I think a little nicer than out right attacking students don't you think?" Richard spat out,
" Yes but our position wasn't merely to attack your students young Master."
" Really? Than please tell me what your true purpose of this little 'game' is then." Richard said almost playfully.
' Damn he's good. And is he flirting with me?' Lady Narssisa was think to herself, " Well the true purpose was to test our students against yours. Now seeing that we need to do a great deal more with our training. That was the only meaning of it, Vog'ue didn't kill any of the Jedi did he?"
" Why do you think you can lie to me and think nothing of it?" Richard asked,
" My dear Richard what ever do you mean I am not lying to you" she said as innocently as possible
" I mean that you have been using the attacks to persuade the Jedi students into thinking that they would become stronger if they became Sith" Richard said calmly. As Lady Narssisa stood up and walked around to the front of her desk and sat on it showing off every curve she had to Richard.
" Well since you know that I don't really think I have to tell you your choices do I?" she said in a friendly tone.
" Well tell me anyways."
" You have two choices, either I kill you, or you join us. I would really prefer not killing you as you see I've come to the understanding that you are almost a Sith right now, " As she was saying this a familiar little voice started to speech up in Richard's head,
" Take her up on it Richard. You know you want to."
' No I don't and stop trying to turn to the dark side, I thought we already had this conversation?'
" Oh we did but we never finished it. Now you know how strong you can be with the sith so why don't you take the offer. Besides if you do you might even get to tap that ass." The voice implied.
To be honest Richard was attracted to the Sith lady in front of him but would never express it in any way, shape, or form as long he was in control of himself. " I think that I would rather rot in hell then join the Shadow Academy. Thanks for the offer but I'm going to have to turn you down. Sorry but I'm sure you understand" he said walking away when he felt something shock him in the back.
" I'm sorry too but I can't let you go without hearing the consequences of disobeying your new master" she said smiling evilly as Richard blacked out.
Richard woke up in a cell about 8'X10' with a flat metal bed and a door, noting else. He had been 'disarmed' (meaning they took his light saber, but to anyone who watches the show you can't completely disarm Robin, it just can't be done) and when he sat up on the bed the door came open and a guard told him to get out cause Lady Narssisa wanted to speak with him. Complying with the guard's request he followed the guard out of the little cell and back to the school's head mistresses office.
Once there he sat down in the same chair he sat in when he first got there but this time clamps came over his wrists and ankles, " Now this is a cold reception. Was I really that bad last time?" Richard asked raising his right eyebrow.
" No but I think you need to fully comprehend the position that you are in my young friend" Narsssisa said moving to the front of her desk.
" I think you made your point very clear. A: join you or B: die, I took options C: leave and kill you later. Now what are you doing t do with me, torture, or just death?"
" I'm going to give you one last chance to take up my generous offer to join me so what do you say?"
" Well I think I'm going to need a better offer than death as an alternative. How about you let my friends go and I'll conceder it but it's highly doubtful of that happening."
" Really and here I thought that if I released your friends and tortured you until you submit my rule you might see that I'm not such a bad person after all."
" Now I think that the whole 'torture' thing could put a damper on our relationship" Richard said with a smirk.
" Now Richard if I don't know any better I'd say your flirting with me," giggled like a schoolgirl.
" Who said I'm not flirting?"
' Damn he is good and hot, maybe I don't have to torture him to get him on our side' she thought. " Well Richard if you're not playing me I think that something could be arraigned." She said.
' Damn she's even more globule than I thought if she's really buying this,' Richard thought, "You know your not joking when you said that to her, you want to fuck her senseless and you know it, hell if you let her go I'm sure that she'll do it all for you." The voice snickered, ' hey stay out of my head!' " Now Lady Narssisa," he said, " what is it you really want from me?"
" I want you to join me and be by my side. Simple don't you think" she smiled.
" Yeah but why me? Can't you find someone who is willing to join you?"
" Yes but you're the strongest person I've met next to Skywalker. So it would seem that the best way to go is to have the next strongest Jedi at my side to rule. Don't you think?"
" Yeah but there is just one little problem with that. I'm not going to join you so you really should let me and my friends go before I have to kill all of you, and I really don't want to do that."
" Oh I think you'll change your mind," she said as she reached for a syringe that had a clear liquid in it. Richard just thought is was a sedative but he was wrong, " I've just injected you with a little something to make you more compliant with what I want you to do for me. Oh and just incase you think it won't work on you, you should know that no one has been able to refuse me after I give them this, see you in a few minutes." She said and walked out of the room.
Sitting in the chair Richard felt the effect of the drug-taking place and then for some reason wearing off almost immediately. ' Huh I wonder what it was suppose to be?' he thought before Narssisa walked back in the room wearing a different outfit. This outfit was a bit more reveling that the last on, it showed more skin around her midriff and a lot more cleavage, also her walk was more sensual she swayed her hips more and then it hit Richard the drug was an aphrodisiac, she was trying to get him so horny that I would do anything for her well I'm going to play along for a while and maybe I can accomplish what I set out to do in the process.
" Well Richard are you feeling the affects of my little concoction?" she said with a glowing smile on her face.
' Well if you wanted this to work you should have caught me when I was 14 stupid.' Richard thought thinking back to way it doesn't work on him.
: Flashback:
Bat cave when Richard was 14
" Ok bats what did you want to take to me about?" a 14 year old Robin asked.
" We're having a problem with Ivy as I'm sure you're aware every time we get close to catching her she uses her pheromones and confuses us into getting away. We have to stop this so it doesn't happen again." Bruce stated.
' I think he means that every time she does he gets a woody and can't walk straight.' Robin thought. "Ok Bruce what do we do about it?"
" We stay in that state until our bodies become accustomed to the presence of the pheromone."
" Wait you mean were going to pump that stuff in here until we can think straight? What about school?"
" I've called your school and said that your going to be out of town for a while with me on business and there going to send you work here, that will be the tests to see if we can think straight."
" So if I can do my homework we can leave the cave?"
" Yes."
" Ok but do you have an idea on how long this will take?"
" No." was all the Dark Knight said.
: End Flashback:
Richard just grinned at how little these people knew about him as Lady Narssisa was sitting on his lap. " Well if that is what you had in mind from the beginning we should have started earlier." He said playing along.
She moved her face closer to his almost kissing him but stopping just before contact. Testing Richard to see if the drug was taking the effect she wanted. She was rewarded went Richard closed the gap giving her a hungry kiss.
Pulling back breaking the kiss Narssisa grinned at him mischievously, got up and released his arms and legs. Richard rubbed his wrists after they were released and looked into Lady Narssisa's eyes and got on one knee and said, " Master I will follow your every order without question." But he was thinking, ' God I should get an award for this performance.'
" Good now what I want you to do is come over here and start working for me." She said and Richard got up, moved over to her and she turned her back to him. She grabbed the zipper on her outfit and started to unzip it want Richard intervened. He grabbed the zipper and pulled it down himself with his left hand while his right was starting to feel all of Lady Narssisa's peaks and valleys. His touch was so soft to her she couldn't help but moan at what his hands were doing to her.
A/N: Sex scene coming up so please take all small children out of the room now. Thank you
Even thought the drug didn't work her moans were getting him hard. After he was done with her shirt he used both hands and cupped her C-cup breasts in both hands and tweaked her hardening nipples between his thumb and forefinger causing her to thrust her head back and release a low moan from the back of her throat. With her breast in his left hand he began to move his right slowly down her flat stomach and stopped at the top of her pants. " Yessss" was all he got in response as he pulled her pants down; they slid down her slender legs. Richard started to play around her mound when she walked over to her chair and sat down in it. " Get over her and lick me off apprentice." She said and Richard complied. Hey his got to play along with this but anyway back to the story. He knelt in front of her and began to like her womanhood. She thrust her hips towards his face trying to drive his tongue deeper into her folds.
She moaned and bucked wildly as his tongue gave her, her first orgasm from him. Sinking into her chair she said, " Now that is what I expected from my apprentice, well done now I have a few assignments for you.
Time Jump: couple of hours
Richard was told to interrogate the two intruders, which gave Richard a golden opportunity to get a message back to the Jedi Academy without Narssisa knowing it.
As Richard interrogated James and Zer he gave subtle hints that he was doing it to take down the Shadow Academy, also he slipped James a note that he was to give to Luke and Raven.
After they were interrogated Richard convinced Narssisa to let them take a message from the Shadow Academy back with them about Richard's 'conversion' to the dark side. The notes that Richard sent with James would explain what was going on and what he was intending to do.
Yavin 4
Himself, Raven, James, Zer, Mara and Yaegashi, now occupied Luke's office reading the notes. One was addressed to Luke and the other Raven. Luke's note gave a brief explanation of what happened after he got to the to the Shadow Academy up until the point where he got stunned and at the bottom it said to ask Raven about what was happening next. " Well Raven what does your note say.
Dear, Raven:
Apprenticeship, going to play along. Look for TT notes.
Robin.
" What does that mean?" Yaegashi said.
Raven just smiled. " It means that Richard is playing them, they think that they have control over him, some sort of leverage and it's going to back fire in there faces." She started to laugh but everyone just looked at her with confusion so she explained. " Back when Richard and I were Titans a villain named Slade tried to make him his apprentice by infecting the rest of us with nanotech bugs that would kill us if Richard didn't do everything he said. Slade made Richard fight us and when he refused Slade activated the nanobots to prove that he was serious. The entire time Richard was buying his time to strike back and now he's doing the same think. They have no idea what they just did to him and they're going to regret it."
" Ok but what does the last part mean?" Luke piped up.
" It means he's going to contact us through a series of riddles, so if you find a slip of paper on your door and you think it's from him give it to me." Raven said
" Why should we give it to you?" Yaegashi said angrily.
" Because Richard is going to be using Teen Titan code and unless any of you know it which I highly doubt you're going to need me to interpret it for you." And Raven walked away towards her room.
Shadow Academy
" Have they reached Yavin 4 yet Darth Falcon?" Lady Narssisa asked her new apprentice. She gave Richard the new name of Flacon at his suggestion.
" Yes Master and if I'm not mistaken they have already reported to Luke about the little change in events."
There was a knock at the door and Geraco waked in, " Sorry to disturb you Lady but Phase One is now ready for deployment any time you see fit." Geraco glared at Richard. He didn't like to fact that he was with her when he used to be the enemy but he held his tongue and didn't express himself in front of his master.
" Very good Geraco now if you excuse us Falcon and I have some business to discuss." She said.
" Very well Lady." And with that he left the room.
" What business do we need to discuss Lady?" Richard asked but knew the answer when she motioned over to the desk. For some odd reason they always had the best sex on her desk. Anyway after all of the (A/N: What did you think I was going to give you people another sex scene. God you people are a bunch of horny bastards. Ok here's a deal you give me a lot of reviews and I mean a lot, tell your friends about it and everything and I'll consider putting it in the next chapter ok.) sex in the office 'Falcon' and Narssisa went about their day. Richard was now an instructor and the Shadow Academy in combat. Big surprise right but anyway his students were a disappointment to say the least. It seems that they all look for the easy way out and with the way Richard teaches there is no easy way. After his first class he thought it better if they would go back to basics, which he also taught.
" Alright class as some of you noticed I'll be your combat teacher no matter where you are so listen up. All of you no matter what you think are the same in my eyes. No one is better than the others until you prove it to me and that is something that will take time. Now are there any questions before the beatings commence?"
" Yes Master Falcon," a girl in the third row asked, " Is it true that you use to be a Jedi?"
" I'm still a Jedi, the only difference between Jedi and Sith is what you're willing to do to get what you want. A Jedi will not use the force on a living person were a sith will attack with all the forces that he has no matter if the target is alive or not. Are there any other questions?"
This time a boy (one he sent back to this class raised his hand) " When will we be trained to use a saber?"
" When I deem that you are ready and not before if I find out that any of you have constructed a light saber before I say you're ready you will wait a minimum of two years before I will even think about letting you try again is that understood?"
The entire class said 'yes' in unison before Richard went on. " Now lets begin with the basics. First I want everyone to show me a basic fighting stance." As he said that the students stood up and got into there stances. Richard walked around the class looking at what he had to work with. As he came around he say one student was just standing there and he walked over to him. " Is there some problem student?"
" This is pointless." Was the student's reply.
" Well let's see what you got then." Richard said. Looking the kid over he was a Zabrak (just in case you don't know that is what Darth Maul was) about 6' tall, fairly muscular and acted like everyone was beneath him. ' Well this should be interesting.'
They both got into there respective fighting stances and the kid was the first to move. He came at Richard with a right hook followed by a roundhouse, both of which Richard easily dogged. The kid continued the fight by throwing a series of kick combos at Richards's head. The last one Richard caught the heal of he foot, held it and threw him a crossed the room. " What's your name boy?"
" Kooth Aan" he said getting up and charged Richard yet again.
Richard saw it coming and decided to end this once and for all. He grabbed Kooth Aan's right arm pulled it behind his back and kicked him in-between the legs. This lifted Kooth off the ground and when he was in mid air Richard did a roundhouse kick to his back sending the young student into another wall this time leaving a crater in it. Everyone gasped in the aftermath of what happened and Richard just walked over to the fallen student and smiled. " If you think that anything I do is pointless you will not survive my test is that understood." He said raising his voice at the end for everyone to hear. In unison everyone said yes and the class went on as normal with the exception of Kooth Aan who was sitting in the corner nursing his wounds.
At the end of class Richard walked over to the young Zabrak and said, " I know you feel insulted for having to come back to this class after passing it before and you showed some talent, so I'm going to make an exception with your training. You will train in combat directly under me from here on out is that understood?"
At first the young man didn't know what to think, here was the guy that just gave him an unholy beat down and now he was giving him a complement, something didn't add up. " Why?"
" Because you have the talent to make a great fighter if you are just willing enough to but the effort in and I'm not taking this lightly if you thought that this little demonstration was bad the real training is much worse."
The boy didn't know what to say but "Thank you master I will put my best effort forward."
" Be sure that you do cause if you don't I will make sure you never get out of this class while I'm here is that understood."
" Yes."
" Good now go." And he dismissed the kid for the class. ' Man if I could get that kid to come with me we would have one of there best students.' Richard thought watching the kid leave.

A/N: Well things seem to be getting very interesting and it looks like Richard might have an apprentice of his own. I will say this though I want a lot of reviews for this one so tell your friends, e-mail as many as you can, just get me those damn reviews or I will end the series with the next chapter is that understood. Good now R&R.
