Here I am again, sooner than I thought, peeps… I just got so many reviews so quickly since my last part, I couldn't stand to keep anyone waiting! Huzzah! Well, it's time to go rescue Raven, so on we go! (I don't own Teen Titans.)

PART 15: Infiltration

"Ty…tyranno……" Beast Boy was sitting amongst dozens of animal books when Robin came to find him. A big, scary picture of a T-rex was on the page he was looking at. He was trying to sound out the name, and storing the picture in memory for later. Who knew how many different shapes he would have to take during battle. "Tyrannosaurus… Ruh… reh…" he kept mumbling, looking at the name very closely.

"Beast Boy." Robin's voice made him look up. "It's time to go."

"Up, up, and away…" the green teen mumbled, shutting his book and standing. "To Raven?"

"That's right." Robin nodded.

Cyborg, Robin, and Beast Boy all got into the T-car, speeding down the street. They headed towards the very same forest where they'd been hunting their new friend for so long, and stopped. "We'll go on foot from here." Cyborg said, locking up the T-car. They stepped out, intense looks of determination on their faces. "It's that way, about four hundred meters underground." He pointed. There was a well-used dirt road there. "There's enough tech hidden along that road to protect a small base. Looks like they're expecting us."

"I'd expect us too if I'd stolen Raven." Beast Boy spoke his first full sentence. Robin and Cyborg stared at him. He smiled, sticking his tongue out innocently. Oh well, it had been a fleeting moment of intelligence…

"Yeeeeah… well, let's go." Robin said. "We'll stay off the path, and hopefully out of scanner range. They treaded carefully into the forest. Beast Boy became a monkey, swinging from branch to branch. Robin followed, leaping tree by tree forward.

Cyborg, their ground support, already had his sonic cannon ready. He pointed it forward, walking carefully to follow his friends. "Sure is dark…" Cyborg mumbled. He tapped the metal side of his head a few times, and his red night vision came on. He saw Robin and Beast Boy's heat signatures by their shapes, and a basic sonar screen in the corner of his vision. "You guys okay?"

"Yeah, just take it slow." Robin said. "No surprises." Beast Boy climbed carefully ahead, stopping to sniff now and then. That scent he knew was caught on the breeze. Was it her? Was it… B-406?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

B-406's eyes snapped open, and she sat up. Her long, green hair complimented her eyes in the light. They were close, she knew. She could feel the green one's scent in the air. No doubt he could smell hers as well. Getting off the simple bed, she went to the door. It slid open before she got there, and she found Garfield Logan standing in the doorway. "Are you ready, B-406?" He asked. She nodded, actually smiling at him. A head shorter than him, she leaned into his chest. A loving purr escaped her throat, and he stroked her hair with one hand. "Good. They're almost here." He said, straightening his tie. She drew away, her eyes retaining their cold stare again. "Kill them all… and bring the green one to me. Understand?" She nodded that she did, and grinned from under her eyebrows. The game was just beginning, and she was the player now.

Her jet black, skintight suite made no sound as she ran down the hall and towards one of the hidden exits. Opening the one-way hatch, she emerged out into the night. Transforming slowly, she worked her parts into the forest itself. Now, she waited.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Raven paced impatiently. Her powers were in check only because of the bracelets, because otherwise they would've blown up half the building by now. There was a lot of commotion outside, but she couldn't make out any of it. People were rushing around, and red lights were flashing now and then. What the hell was going on out there? She practically pressed her nose to the tiny window in her white cell, trying to see just a little further…

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Beast Boy jerked to a halt. The scent was strong. B-406 was close. Robin noticed his odd behavior, and jumped to the limb where he was. "What's wrong?"

"Trouble…" He whispered back.

"Cyborg, any luck?" Robin looked down. "……Cyborg?" About two hundred feet away, a beam of blue light lanced skyward, and another one leveled a tree. There was a battle going on! "Cyborg!" Robin and Beast Boy ran in his direction with all speed. Beast Boy became a falcon and soared above the trees as Robin leapt from branch to branch.

Vines were everywhere, flashing and whipping and writhing in battle! Cyborg was fighting the tree-monster that was B-406. Then… stillness. A shiver running down his spine, Robin landed on the ground. Beast Boy came soon after, and they looked for their metal friend. No sign of him, save the blast marks that went here and there. "Cyborg!"Beast Boy cupped his hands over his mouth to call for him. "Cyborg!" but there was no answer.

Robin looked carefully from one direction to another. Beast Boy, who stood poised for battle, was only a few feet away from him. Surely whatever it was wouldn't attack both of them at the same time. "Beast Boy, we've gotta– mrrph!" The green teen whirled around, but Robin was already gone.

"Cyborg? Robin?" He whimpered softly, looking around. "Raven…?" he squeaked her name last, his pointed ears perked for any sign of danger. He turned into a green tiger, slinking further into the thicket. It was her, he knew. It had to be B-406, in her tree form. How else could she snatch them both and him not see it coming?

Vines!

Beast Boy dodged just in time to see a nearby tree splintered by the oncoming attack! Roaring his challenge he leapt forward to make a grab for them. Snatching one in his teeth he bit clean through it. Purple blood sprayed across the thicket as well as him, and it writhed like a cut off lizard's tail. Dropping it, he followed the stump he'd just made towards the source.

More Vines! And a branch!

The branch managed to knock him aside as the whip-like vine cut deep into his side with a lash. He yelped in pain, roaring in anger right afterwards. How come he couldn't turn into something like that for an even fight? He'd tried to become a tree monster like that several times, but he couldn't do it. B-406 must've had mutated genes inside her to turn into things that don't actually exist in the animal kingdom… The tiger that was Beast Boy grabbed the branch in his teeth, holding it down with both paws and tearing a huge chuck off. More purple blood sprayed, and the vine came back for him. It wrapped quickly around his front-right paw, and almost tugged him into the air. He dug his claws into the branch as well as the ground so it wouldn't be so, but it didn't work.

Letting out a roar of surprise he was jerked into the air, straight towards B-406! The creature let out some sort of battle cry, even though it had no mouth to speak of. The giant tree monster uprooted itself, revealing it had been close-by all along. Beast Boy became an elephant and crashed back to the ground. The vine that held him snapped, and he trumpeted wildly as he charged forward. This was how he'd beaten her last time, and he had to pay her back for that low blow! Charging with three tons of pure African elephant muscle, Beast Boy –!

Was stopped!

B-406 concentrated all of its vines on him, and he was tangled in hundreds of them. Even the mighty elephant couldn't break through all that confusion and wriggling vines. Dozens of them were around every leg, and six apiece on each tusk. Having effectively stopped her opponent, B-406 started crushing him. Beast Boy trumpeted in pain, trying to rear up on his hind legs and get away. The vines were tightening on all his limbs, and digging into the skin like saw grass. Blood was starting to become visible here and there.

Bigger! He need to be bigger! But what was bigger than an elephant? Beast Boy thought desperately as the life was being squeezed out of him. What on Earth could possibly combat with this giant monster that was before him?

TYRANNOSAURUS REX!

The roar of the mighty king of beasts echoed all the way to Jump City, and snapped vines flailed everywhere! Sprays of purple and severed parts littered the ground, and teeth the size of yardsticks flashed into view. Whited out eyes signaled the fact that it was Beast Boy, but the rage of the animal itself has taken over. How dare this mere creature attack the king of beasts, the T-Rex? T must've been insane, or had a death wish!

Beast Boy, who lurked in the mind of the T-Rex's instincts, only egged it on. He'd tried to reason with his opponent and gotten kicked in the balls for it. They'd tried blowing it up, cutting it up, and beating it down. Now… it was time for the last showdown. Only one of the shape-shifters would walk away from this fight. It was B-406 versus B-407, and the battle began NOW.

Cliffie! Naaaargh! O.O I promise I'll be back soon with another part, but this was all I had time to write today! Why did I get rid of Robin and Cyborg for the time being? I wanted BB to prove himself by beating the one just like him in one on one combat, of course. I guess we can assume they're tied up in the vines somewhere, ya? Okay! Please leave a review if you have the time. Its that little button there at the bottom left, and I'll be sure to update really soon if you do! Thankies! Next time on BARCODE! It's "Showdown!" See ya soon, I promise!
