I do not own the Teen Titans.
Alright just a little recap of whats happened so far, if you havn't read the other two books, is: A new person,calling himself Kaiser, has come to Jump City with crazy powers, He helped the Titans out and decided to join them. No one really knew much about him not even his real name, All they know is he ran away from home after his mother died after a car wreck. It happened when Kaiser was very sick and he lost control of his powers and blasted one of the car wheels off. His mother, before she passed away, let the doctors perform an operation to replace his left leg and arm that got infected and needed to be amputated from the car wreck. None of the other Titans knew about that. Kaiser works out after waking up from the same nightmare he has had ever since the car wreck. It happened when he was 12 and now he's 16 so you can kinda get how much sleep he gets and how traumatizing it was. One day when he was working out Raven followed him one day after he woke up in the morning, Kaiser then told her about the wreck and about his metasl limbs and how he hides them using a fake skin. Then He told everyone his real name was Kevin Michaels. His only childhood friend, Alex, from his old town came to the town and was evil, He was known as Quick Draw and he is a really good shot. The day they met he shot Starfire, and Kaiser/Kevin had to heal her. Slade then returned and severly burned his right leg when Kevin pushed Raven out of the way of a flamethrower. Kevin wanted to try and be friends again with Quick Draw/Alex but he tried to kill Robin and Kevin just lost all faith in his friend. Now for the Next Installment.
Chapter 1: Your damn right I'm angry!
After the incident with Quick Draw Kevin had other things on his mind, mainly Slade. He wanted revenge for what happened to his leg. All the Titans started to research the odd symbol on Slade's forehead hoping that it was a clue. The had been spending the last three days looking for clues. Kevin had been looking at any and all books he could to find out what he needed to know but he really had was the books in the Titans library and they didn't have much on Magic. The only person who could have that sort of material was Raven and she had been shut in her room for the past three days as well, reaserching.
"So did we find anything out?" Kevin asked entering the room rubbing his eyes from the 3 straight hours of looking at a book.
"I think I have discovered the origin of the mark." Stafire said as she pointed at the outline of the strange symbol on a piece of paper. "This symbol was used on my planet as a dark ritual where a being would devour mass quantities of worms as..." Starfire was then cut off by Beast Boy as he ripped off a piece of food from the paper.
"Actually um thats Tofu Curry, my bad." He then threw it behind his back as Silky jumped up and nabbed the food.
"Oh. Nevermind." Starfire then put away the pointer.
"So nothing yet huh?" Kevin then stretched out a little bit. The alarm then promptly went off as everyone looked at the screen to see what ws going on. They saw that it was Slade. "Finally, Revenge." Kevin and the others quickly rushed out to go and attempt to stop Slade.
The Titans quickly arrived at the scene watching as Slade was destroying random buildings.
"Vandalism? Isn't that a little out of style for you?" Robin said smartly as Slade landed in front of them.
"Oh Robin I am just here to do what I was ordered to do." Slade said.
"Less talkie more blasty!" Kevin then shot an energy ball straight at Slade, which of course, he dodged. The Titans chased after Slade as he continued to destroy buildings.
"Isn't this place condemed to be destroyed anyways?" Beast Boy said.
"Who cares, we'll stop him anyway." Robin said. Beast Boy and Cyborg then teamed up on Slade and launched an attack. Slade was able to escape trapping them in a firewall. Kevin then jumped in and started a full on asault by kicking Slade in the back.
"That was for burning me. And this ones for nearly getting Raven burned." Kevin then punched at Slade but he managed to move out of the way of the punch.
"Still a little angry are we?" Slade said in his smart-ass tone.
"Your damn right I'm angry!" He then continued his offensive but Slade was matching Kevin punch for punch. Slade eventually got away from him sending flaming debris in front of Kevin.
Robin then started to attack Slade pulling out his staff. The two fighters continued to attack each other. Robin using his staff and Slade using his fire powers. "How are you still alive? Who gave you these powers? What is that symbol on your head?" Robin said as he continued to attack Slade.
"It's the mark of Skath. And you will meet the person who gave me these powers very soon. I am just a messenger, and as any good messenger, I want my message to be heard." Slade then escaped from Robin blasting a flame wall around the boy wonder. Robin then took out his communicator.
"Where are you guys I cant see you?" The other's then took out there communicators.
"I can't either." Kevin said.
"I can and I can see somthing else." Starfire was in the air and saw that Slade had made a giant Mark of Skath. The others then got out of the flames, to where Robin was, in front of an old lirary.
"This was the only building that Slade left standing. We should check it out for clues." Robin said. A sign then fell off of the building revieling the symbol. "The Mark of Skath." Everyone was surprised that Robin knew what the symbol was. "Slade told me." They then started to walk up to the library.
"Wait it might be a trap." Raven said a little hesitant to enter the library.
"We have to risk it. It's our only lead." Starfire then ripped off the baricade that was closing the library. The Titans entered not knowing what to expect.
"Man this place is as old as the city." Cyborg said as he checked information on the library on his arm, eventually reaching a dead end.
"Dang, Dead end." Beast Boy said.
"Looks like there's nothing here can we go now." Raven said just wanting to leave the place. No one noticed it when the symbols on Raven flashed revieling a secret passage. The others then walked towards the the entrance going down. The Titans started to go down the strange area as Cyborg got more info on his arm.
"Man this place is old. Older than the city itself." Cyborg told the others. Ravens symbols glowed again as strange symbols apperaed on the walls of the place. Strange Images then came out of statues looking like ghost and saying the same thing over and over again.
"The gem shall be his portal." The ghosts chanted.
"What do they mean gem?" Kevin said felling a little extra cautios.
"I have to go I shouldn't be here." Raven then rushed up the stairs. Kevin then ran after her to see what was wrong.
"Raven are you all right?" Kevin said.
"I can't stay I have to leave." Raven covering up the symbols so he couldn't see.
"Raven you can talk to me about it." Kevin moving closer.
"No i need to leave." Raven then teleported out of the library and went back to the tower. Kevin then went back to the others. Telling them that Raven left.
"Well whatever this gem is we have to get it if Slade is after it." Robin said as they walked towards the dorrs and opened them. Then went through the doors and saw a long spiral staircase leading down.
"How far do you thinkit is?" Cyborg said.
"Only one way to find out." Beast Boy said as he gathered and spit a loogie.
"Dude that was nasty." Kevin added as the listened for it to land. I took a good 15 seconds for them to hear anything.
"Thats pretty far down." Cyborg said.
"Common lets go." Robin then started down the steps. They continued to climb down for a good while as all of a sudden ghosts apperead out of nowhere and started to attack them.
"Holy crap!" Kaiser said as he moved out of the way kicking one. But nothing happened. Robin threw a punch and it went right through it.
"I can't hit them." Robin then took out his staff and swung at them. Kevin used his powers on the stone wall to make himself a staff and started an assault on the ghost's. The Titan's started to fight there way down the small stairs. The ghost's just kept comming one after the other. For every one they destroyed two would take it's place.
"Man they just keep comming." Kevin said as he swung and exploded another one.
"Follow me." Robin then jumped off of the steps and entered a freefall. Everyone just shrugged and follwed him. They continued to fall untill Robin saw another passage with the mark of Skathe. He quickly took out his grappling hook and shot at the symbol sending himself up to the passage. The others saw him and quickly followed before they fell into a giant pit of ghost's. They entered the passage and started to run from the pursuing ghosts. They reached a romm with two new passage's.
"The one with the mark go through that." Kevin said in a hurry as the Titans ran through the hall. The ghost were starting to catch up, as Robin in Kevin attacked the few that were right on there tail. They made it to another hall with six passage's.
"Which one there's no mark." Cyborg yelled.
"Eennie, meanie, minnie, moe." Beast Boy then ran through the hall that he chose. He then came running back out followed by more ghosts, "NOT MOE, NOT MOE!" Beast Boy came running back out. Robin looked at the signs and saw a hall with the symbol of a bird.
"This one!" Robin then ran through that hall as everyone else followed. The made it through the hall just in the nick of time before all the ghost's could get to them. Right when they made it through a stone wall came down closing off the entrance. Everyone was still on end, but the ghost's didn't come through the wall.
"Looks like they stopped following us." Kevin said as he started to calm down.
Everyone looked at the room they were in. It was dark and strange, filled with statues and a giant stone hand protruding out of the ground. Everyone looked at the strange statue's and was wierded out because all of it seemed realy familiar to all of them.
"I'm gettin a serious Dejavue vibe from this place." Cyborg said.
"That and something about this place seems really familiar." Beast Boy said as everyone just looked at him.
"Look at these strange statue's." Starfire said as she flew up to inspect them closser.
"They look like Raven." Robin said as he went farther into the room. "We have to find that gem before Slade does com'mon." Robin then ran towards the giant hand and started to climb it, he finally reached the top of the hand and saw nothing. "The gems not here."
"That is because it is closer to you then you think." Everyone looked around to see that Slade had entered the room. As they saw him they all got ready to attack with everything they had.
And thats where I will stop for today. But do not worry I will have the next chapter up by tommorow, or today if you wanna get technical. On to the reviews.
From: J Grippa: That was a good chapter.Not much happned.Um maybe you should make the
books longer, if you ask me
this should at least be in the middle of thesecond book and not the
end.Just a suggestion.
Remotely Mellow: Finaly some one gave me some criticism, I was starting to get an Ego there for a sec. But to answer you question I probably will make this book a little long maybe about 8 or 9 chapters instead of 7. But we'll just see what happens.
