Titans on Vacation chapter 6- The truth of Baker's Mansion
As the other Titans returned to the hotel each person had a story to tell.
"Terra saw something while we were in the pool." said Beast Boy as he held Terra firmly in his grasp to comfort her.
"Well I saw some guy disappear right before my eyes!" exclaimed Cyborg, his voice still shaking.
"Robin and I encountered a woman who looked at us with sad eyes and then walked right through a wall while we were returning to the beach." replied Starfire as she looked around as if she was being watched.
"Looks like we all had strange things happen to us today." said Robin.
"What does it all mean?" asked Terra, who was starting to cry. Beast Boy wiped away any potential tears and gave her a reassuring kiss.
"I don't know yet, but Raven should be able to explain it, where is she anyway?" Everyone looked around and then heard the chimes of a grandfather clock.
"It's 8:00 p.m. right now! Raven's never been late for anything!" said Cyborg with a surprising tone.
Almost as if on cue Mrs. Baker came running up to them panting. "Please you have to help me! Tom and your violet haired friend were taken by the ghosts!" she cried in anguish.
The other Titans followed her to the main staircase where part of it had fallen down to the floor to go downstairs instead of up.
"What is this?" questioned Beast Boy.
"This was used by African –Americans to hide and travel to the Underground Railroad, and was used as an escape route for hiding Confederate soldiers.
The group went down the stairs, even though they wanted Mrs. Baker to stay behind she insisted that she wanted to be sure that her husband was safe.
As they walked down the long dark tunnel, rats and spiders would scurry by and make Terra and Starfire jump.
Finally they saw light up ahead and walked through a wooden door. The room was completely made of stone and strange circles were drawn all over the floor, ceiling, and walls.
The group saw Raven up against one of the walls bound by rope and gagged. She looked at them with terror and was frantic to say something.
The other Titans ran over to her and un-gagged her.
"Run it's a trap!" Raven practically yelled, but before the others could do anything they were picked up and thrown against the wall by some invisible force. The force then tied them up with rope and put them all back against the wall with Raven.
They heard laughing as Mr. Baker emerged from the shadows with Jack and Lily by his side. Mrs. Baker joined him smiling at the Titans with an evil grin.
"They're the evil ones guys!" Raven pronounced as it echoed against the walls of the cavern room.
"Quite right my little Dove."
"That's Raven!" she said glaring at him.
"What's this all about Tom?" asked Robin.
"Well since you're all going to die I guess we might as well tell you, but let me first give you our real names. I am William Baker, my wife Susan, and my two children Zach and Samantha.
"WHAT?" the Titans said in unison.
"I discovered that earlier today after I saw a portrait of the Bakers in 1868 and all these Bakers looked all too familiar to the past Bakers. I knew that it wasn't just a family resemblance, these Bakers are the same Bakers from 1868!" Raven proclaimed.
The Bakers just smiled and laughed as the Titans struggled to break free of their ropes
"Hey I can't transform!" said, Beast Boy as he tried every animal he could think of to break out of his ropes.
"Don't bother you have no power in this room. All these symbols are magical seals that prohibit you from using your powers."
"You mean…" began Starfire
"Yes you all are now as powerless as humans!" chuckled the Bakers.
"Now let me tell you why we have gone through such an elaborate way to get you. My family and I have always wanted to find how to be eternally youthful and all powerful. We spent years searching, but ultimately failed. Until we discovered witchcraft, it gave us the opportunity, but it required that we suck the life force out of human beings every 20 years. At first we were hesitant, but then those Revolutionary soldiers came along and we decided that they were the perfect test subjects. In the end we succeeded and gained our temporary immortality. So every twenty years from then on we would lure people here and take their life force for our own. That is until…"
"Until Angel fought back!" interrupted Raven.
"Yes," said William Baker, obviously annoyed, "She thought what we were doing was wrong and that she didn't want to do it any more. She wanted to run away with that Clarence boy and leave us for good. Well we weren't going to let that happen so we caught them before they escaped and we drained them of their life essence. Anyone who rebelled was quickly silenced and forgotten.
"And the ghosts were all your victims, they were just trying to warn us so that we didn't suffer their fate." concluded Robin.
"Then how come the ghosts could posses us and not harm you?" asked Terra, who was still confused about the whole thing.
The Bakers revealed necklaces that were each made of a different colored stone.
"These amulets double our magic and create a barrier that no ghost can penetrate."
The Bakers kept on laughing and eventually stopped as they made their way to the Titans.
"There is just one more thing I want to know," said Robin.
"What?" asked Mrs. Baker, sounding impatient.
"Why us of all people? Why the Titans?"
"Because you all have huge amounts of power that no one else contains, we'll be able to live for at least two more centuries without a refill."
"Now that that's out of the way we can get down to business." said Mr. Baker.
Mr. Baker opened his palms and put each one over Robin and Starfire's head. Mrs. Baker did the same thing to Cyborg and Terra, as the two children went to Beast Boy and Raven.
Then their palms began to bear the image of the pentagram as if it was burned on their skin.
"Goodbye Titans." said the Bakers as they began to steal the Titans life energy, then Robin broke free of his bindings, he used his birdarang to cut the ropes. As the Bakers were distracted he threw it and in turn freed the rest of the Titans.
"Terra get out of here!" he yelled. Terra looked at him skeptically, but then realized what he wanted. She ran for the doors and broke threw them.
"Your friend cannot help you by running away." said Mr. Baker mockingly.
"Who she was running away?" asked Robin, "Terra, Now!" he cried as Terra, outside the room, used her returned powers to shake the room like a 6.7 earthquake, since the entire room was made of stone.
Everyone stumbled and fell down as little pieces of rock fell to the floor with a thud!
Suddenly the room was still, everyone got up and the Bakers merely laughed.
"Did you think that a little earthquake would defeat us?" asked Mrs. Baker.
"No, but then again it was never meant to!" said Robin as everyone looked around and saw what he meant. All the circles that prohibited the Titans from using their powers were either broken or destroyed. All the Titans felt their strength come back and were ready for action.
"Titans, don't attack them directly, just attack their amulets." he ordered. The others agreed and ran into battle.
The fight lasted only a few minutes, but all the amulets were now destroyed.
"We still have more than enough power to destroy you all." hissed the Bakers.
"We aren't your main concern anymore," said Beast Boy as the Titans began to leave the room nonchalantly.
Then the Bakers saw the large array of ghosts surrounding them, and then they remembered that now that the amulets are gone there is no stopping the ghost's revenge.
"Wait!" cried the Bakers on hands and knees, "Please show us mercy!" they pleaded.
"Sorry, but we aren't the judges anymore," said Robin and with that the Titans walked out hearing the screams of the Bakers getting their just desserts.
"Well" said Cyborg emerging from the house with his suitcase in his hand, "That was some vacation."
"Yeah, but I wanna go back home," said Raven, who sounded tired.
What are you talking about? This was hardly a vacation!" said Beast Boy agitated.
You and I can go back on vacation." suggested Terra snuggling close to Beast Boy.
"I'd like that," he said while kissing her neck.
"Barf" said Raven disgustingly, as everyone else laughed.
Robin and Starfire looked at each other and then proceeded to make out right in front of every body.
"Not you too!" cried Raven in terror.
Then Crborg began to sing All You Need is Love while pretending to be John Lennon.
"Oh I need a vacation from this vacation!" said Raven as she quickly packed her things into the trunk and went into the backseat.
Everyone smiled and got in and as they all drove home they all began to sing, "999 bottles of beer on the wall 999 bottles of beer!"
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! GET ME OUT OF HERE!"
THE END!
