A few hours later Danny was playing DOOM against Cyborg at Titan's Tower when there was something that sounded like a large doorbell that sounded through the building. "I'll get it!" Cyborg said excitedly and ran to the front door.
"If you want to, you can change now," Robin told Danny quietly.
Danny nodded and transformed while Cyborg de-activated the security system to let in whoever was outside.
"That is still very cool," Beast Boy said with a grin.
Danny smiled back while Cyborg was attacked by two kids speaking very quickly in what Danny guessed was Spanish. "Who?" he asked.
"Mas and Menos," a slender boy with black hair and black eyes said. "They're twins, they only speak Spanish and their super power is super speed then they're touching."
"And you are?" Danny asked.
He smiled and held out his hand, "Hi, my name is Aqualad," he replied in a calm voice.
"Speedy!" Robin said happily and held out his hand.
"Hey Robin!" the tall youth replied and took Robin's hand in a firm shake.
"My name is Bumblebee," a pretty African American girl said behind Danny.
Danny spun around and almost fell over but he managed to catch himself and hover in mid air about level with Bumblebee. "Hi, my name is Phantom."
She nodded, "Nice to meet you. So I heard the bad guy we're after is your villain."
Danny nodded, "Pretty much. His name is Plasmius, he's half human and half ghost like me only there's a 20 year difference in our powers."
She winced, "Ouch."
Danny nodded, "Yeah."
"Woah, back up," Speedy said, "Did you say ghost?"
Danny nodded, "Yeup."
"There's no such thing as ghosts," Speedy said with a smirk.
Danny vanished and flew behind Speedy picking him up off the ground then letting him land lightly back on his feet. Then Danny re-appeared hanging upside-down in front of him. "So I don't exist?" he asked.
Beast Boy and Cyborg started to roar with laughter while Robin and Bumblebee tried to keep it in. Mas and Menos merely looked puzzled. "Quales?" Mas asked.
Cyborg pulled out a Spanish dictionary he had gotten after he had met the two. "Erm…" he said while flipping through the pages, "Danny… es un fantasma…" he said in broken Spanish.
"QUE?" they both yelled and looked at Danny who was still hovering upside-down.
"What did you tell them?" Danny asked.
"I told them you're a ghost," Cyborg said. "Or at least I think I did."
"You think," Danny said with a grin.
"Well can you speak Spanish?" Cyborg teased.
Danny laughed and flipped back over, "No, but my sister can."
"So, where do we go from here?" Bumblebee asked.
Danny scratched his head, "Well, let's see, last we saw Vlad and Asimov were both attacking each other and then I kinda had to leave. I have no idea if anything else has changed since then."
"Quickest way," Cyborg said and pointed at the TV. "The news."
Robin nodded and turned on the TV to see Asimov's robot attacking the down town area and Vlad was no where to be seen. "Oh that can not be good," Starfire said fearfully.
Danny growled, "Vlad probably got away," he said. "He's got more recourses then just his powers and I can grantee you he will use them."
Robin nodded, "I agree with that. Well then, shall we go?"
Everyone nodded, "Sounds like fun," Beast Boy said. "Ready to kick some bad guy butt?"
Danny laughed, "You bet."
Robin nodded again, "All right then. Danny, Raven, Beast Boy, Starfire and Bumblebee, since you all can fly I want you to go ahead and scope out the battle situation but do not engage in battle. Not yet. We still need a strategy."
They all nodded and Danny merely went intangible to fly out the window where as everyone else went out the door. Robin waited till they were gone and gave his remaining friends a small grin, "Everyone else, to the T-car."
"T-car!" Mas and Menos cheered and grabbed hands before flying down to the basement.
"You two better not mess up my pain job!" Cyborg bellowed while trying to catch up with the super speedy twins.
Robin let him self have a chuckle before he, Speedy and Aqualad all followed Cyborg out the door.
Cyborg pulled the T-car up to a large segment of building in the middle of the street where Starfire was hovering. "Well?" Robin asked.
Starfire smiled as she saw Robin approach, "It looks like he is searching for something as he is not actually stealing anything."
"Or someone," a voice said.
Robin looked around and Danny appeared in front of him. "Vlad?" he asked.
"He's close," Danny sighed, "But I can't tell where, all I know is that he's biding his time."
"He's probably trying to make the Asimov guy run out of juice," Cyborg mused. "That robot thing has to take quite a bit of fuel."
"It's a theory," Robin said. "Anything else?"
The rest of the Titans chose to appear just about that time. "Nothin," Beast Boy muttered.
Raven shook her head, "I couldn't find out anything either."
Bumblebee shook her head, "The guy is just tearing up the downtown. Only thing I can gather is why you had to retreat, the thing is really powerful."
"And has a giant shield covering it's butt," Beast Boy snapped. "Nothing the city throws at it can touch it."
"And we're surprised about that… why?" Cyborg asked.
Beast Boy opened his mouth and held up a finger before putting his hand down and shaking his head, "Yeah, I got nothing."
Robin nodded, "Okay then, we'll try old tactics first. Phantom, Cyborg see if you can double team the force field."
Danny and Cyborg nodded before running at the giant robot that was starting to head their way. Danny pulled back his hands and unleashed an energy blast big enough to knock out a small electrical plant while Cyborg pumped his energy levels to 100 and fired off his own blast.
The results were mixed, while the two blasts did weaken the shield it did not have the desired effect of destroying them completely.
"Darn it!" Cyborg hissed and jumped out of the way as a robotic arm came flying at him to bury its self in the street below.
Danny flew around behind it and tried another blast, but it didn't do any more damage then the one before.
Robin growled, "We need to take that shield down!" he yelled. "Titan's GO!"
Everyone else flew into the fray hoping that somehow their combined attacks would be enough to break down the energy shield.
From inside the giant robot Asimov chuckled, "Well, well, well, the Teen Titans. A formidable opponent indeed."
"Look out!" Danny yelled and made him self and Raven intangible just before a huge missile destroyed the building that was behind her.
"Thanks," she gasped trying to maintain her spell that was holding several rocks poised to crush an arm that was holding Beast Boy captive. She let go of the rocks and the arm was weakened enough that Beast Boy was able to morph into a dinosaur and get free before hitting the giant robot with his tail and knocking it off kilter a bit.
Danny looked around wildly while it became apparent that the Titans were loosing the battle against the huge robot. It just had too much technology.
"Phantom, look out!" Robin yelled right before Danny found himself in the clutches of the giant robot. A green haze appeared around the arm before Danny felt a nasty electrical shock jolt his body. He cried out in pain until it stopped and Asimov's voice could be heard.
"So, you think you can defeat me?" he asked.
There was the sound of a high powered ecto grenade launcher going off before Danny felt the metal arm let go. Danny felt himself get caught and supported by Bumblebee and Starfire before they all looked to see where the attack had come from.
Maddie Fenton lowered her gun and smiled, "Yes, I think we do!" she yelled and a large cheer rose from the crowd of ghost hunters behind her.
