Ch.20: The End pt.1
"He's gone! Damn it, Slade took him!" yelled Victor as he sat on Garfield's bed.
"Who's Slade?" asked Jason confused.
"He's the guy that shot you mom and our sister." He sighed.
"Why haven't you told the police!" he yelled.
"He's the mayors son we cant they won't believe us and if you remember correctly the mayor owns the police so they cant do anything!"
"We have to do something!" yelled Jason as he slammed his hand into the wall.
"We call Kori, Richard, and Raven."
"But you're just a bunch f kids?"
"We may be kids but so is Slade and we are the only on that knows him the best."
"Call them and make sure they come over here."
Victor got up and phoned all the others and in less than 10 minutes they were at the door. Raven had tears in her eyes. But next to Richard was a tall man with black crew cut hair. His eyes were brown and wore a black jacket and jogging pants.
"Who are you?" asked Victor confused.
"Richard's step dad; Bruce Wayne."
"Bruce Wayne! The billionaire!" gasped Victor.
The man nodded and walked into Garfield's room.
"What happened?" asked Bruce.
"I don't know, he was asleep and they must have come through the window and taken him, but he isn't a sound sleeper they must have done something to him." sighed Jason.
"We have to do something dad he's our friend!" yelled Richard as he looked around the room.
"Hey I found something!" yelled Victor as he looked out the window.
"What is it?" asked Raven.
"A piece of paper, on the grass outside of his window!"
Victor climbed back into the room and pulled out a wet piece of folded paper. Bruce snatched it up and read it quickly.
"Its directions, this turns lead to the far end of the town. The only place I could think of with these directions would be the cement factory on the south side of Jump City." Bruce said softly.
"Come on we have to go there!" yelled Raven as she went to the door.
"We can take the Hummer get in!" yelled Bruce as he took the driver seat of the black tank vehicle.
The large car was big enough for all 6 of them to sit down. Bruce hit the ignition and the large machine took off at break neck speeds. He picked up his phone during the turns.
"Who are you calling?" asked Richard.
"The police."
"You can't Slade's the mayor's son."
"I know that, I'm not calling that police I'm calling the Dark Angels!"
"Who?" asked Kori confused.
"The Dark Angels are police forces that work for the common man and Bruce used to be in them, the Dark Angels leader and Bruce are good friends, he should surely help."
"Great so we got a trump card waiting for us!" laughed Victor as he looked at the road.
"Hello Sam, its Bruce, we need you help. Bring all of your guys and anything you need to the cement factory on the south side of Jump City, we are going in on a search and rescue mission."
---------------------------------------------------------------
At the south side Cement factory Terra, Cinderblock, Overload, Fang, General Immortus, and Mallah stood at the entrance. Terra was sitting on a step next to the large bat of mixing cement. Above hanging on a hook was Plasmus. By the looks of him he was unconscious. He had large bruises and dried blood on his bare chest and long scars down his back. His left hand was all blue, probably broken. His right eye couldn't open and blood dripped from his mouth. He was alive but didn't want to be.
Slade sat at a machine holding the boy up above the cement with a smile on his face. Next to him lay a sleeping Garfield that stirred in his sleep.
"Perfect." whispered Slade.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I sat up slowly and rubbed my head. I looked around and couldn't remember why I was here; in fact I couldn't remember anything. A group of teens were off to my right and a scary looking boy was next to me. I felt empty like I had nothing in me anymore, no happiness, no sadness, no anger, just calm peaceful nothing.
"Rise Beast." ordered the boy.
I rose to my feet confused and looked around.
"Is that my name? Beast?" I asked.
"Yes, and I am your master, and you work for me now."
"I do?"
"Yes you do."
"What do you want me to do sir?"
"Nothing at this moment, we are waiting for the bad guys."
"Bad guys?"
"Yes a bunch of kids who want to hurt you and me, and all of your friends."
"Really?"
"Yes and you are the only one strong enough to stop them."
"But I am not strong."
"Not now, but inside of you is a strength I have never seen before. Unleash your anger and destroy the bad people when they get here."
"Yes sir, but who is that on the hook?"
"Another bad man, we captured him before he was able to kill you, and now we are holding him for ransom so we can draw the bad people here and you can save everyone."
"So what do I do?"
"When I give you the signal you pull this lever here and we drop the boy into the cement."
"Yes sir but why?"
"Because he has been very bad and very mean."
"O.k. sir I understand."
"Good boy."
I rubbed my shoulder and looked at the scar on it. I sighed and looked over to a wall. Various knives were hanging there, old weapons; no doubt the master was planning for me to use them on the bad guys. But somehow I didn't feel like it was right.
My master placed a large axe in my hand and it felt so light. Like a feather, before I wouldn't be able to lift it, what was happening to me? Who am I?
--------------------------------------------------------
"There it is." said Bruce as he stared at it.
The building was tall and large with boarded up window and a large steel double front door. There was a sign above it but the letters to it were missing. And to the side was sure enough a large black van with an orange evil spray painted S.
"Let's do this!" barked Richard as he reached for the handle.
"Hold it, you don't know what they have behind those doors!" warned Bruce.
"We know, but it's probably nothing because Slade would want us to suffer not take us out quick. It's just not him." Victor said softly.
"I am going in there with you; Bruce can wait for the back up." Jason said quickly.
"You sure about that?" asked Bruce.
"I can handle myself." smiled Jason.
Bruce nodded and opened the door. All of the others packed out and Bruce gave them each an item wrapped in cloth. They were knives? Butcher knives?
"What are these for?"
"To protect yourself." Bruce warned.
"Why do you keep these in your trunk?" asked Richard.
"Well to be honest I used to have a side job as a butcher, I just never got these out of there. Be careful, all of you." warned Bruce as he gave Richard a ruff hug.
The group walked up to the door. Jason took the front and placed his foot on the middle of the door. He pulled it back and with all the force he had he slammed hi foot against the door and smashed it open.
"Nice." whispered Victor.
In front of them were a battle ready team, all of there enemies had chains, knives, or bats in there hands.
"Welcome all, I guess you are here for him?" laughed Slade as he pointed to Garfield with an axe in his hand.
"Garfield?" gasped Raven.
"My master told me about all of you! You won't hurt me, him or my friends!" he yelled back.
Garfield walked down to them and starred into there eyes. Jason walked up to him and placed his hand on his shoulder. Before anything happened the butt of the axe was slammed into his stomach sending him back, feet's.
"Where did he get this strength?" asked Jason as he rubbed his stomach in pain.
Garfield ran back and put his hand on the lever. The group looked up and gasped at the sight of Plasmus hanging by the hook.
"Garfield let him go! You don't want to do this!" yelled Raven in sadness.
"Master told me about you witch! I know what you do to unsuspecting men!" he yelled back as he gripped his axe.
Raven was brought to tears by his words. This wasn't the Garfield she knew, not her Garfield.
"If you all want to play then let's play!" yelled Victor as he charged at the lot of them.
Jason and Richard followed him with anger.
"Kori, try to get Plasmus down from there while I go get Garfield." Raven yelled.
The young girl nodded as she went over to the batch of cement. Victor ran into Overload and Cinderblock with a scream and sent the two to the edge of a bar. Overloads head connected with the bar and he fell unconscious. Cinderblock's back as cracked up against the bar and Victor watched as he fell to the ground in pain. That only left Immortus, Fang, and Mallah.
"Seems even, what do you guys want?" asked Victor as he, Jason, and Richasrd stood in front of the three.
"Jason, take Mallah, Victor can you deal with Fang and the other one? I am heading for Slade!" barked Richard.
"You got it!" yelled the two in agreement.
Jason jumped up and wrapped his forearm around Mallah's thick skull and slammed it into the cold steel floor.
"How do you like my DDT? You big ass monkey." He laughed.
Mallah didn't answer as he rose to his feet, he shook his head and rubbed his forehead and growled.
"Shit." gasped Jason.
Victor on the other went out swinging and slammed a large fist into Fang's chin, he felt the boy's tooth fall out of his mouth as he slammed against a tank of cement. Immortus charged with a groul only to get a blade slash at his stomach making a small wound on his stomach. The boy stopped before anything else came at him and was paid back with a boot to his chest sending him to the steel railing of the floor. Fang rose from the floor and whipped the blood from his chin and approached Victor.
"You want some more? I got a whole house fool of pain punk." He growled.
Raven slowly walked up the railing away from the fighting boys but was stopped by a clawing hand to her cheek scratching her skin. She walked back and saw that she herself had an opponent.
"Terra!"
"Raven."
"Coward!"
"Witch!"
Raven charged the blond and slammed her down on the steel floor. Terra easily pushed her off of herself.
"You want blood little girl? You got it!" growled Terra as she pulled out a small stick that became a long poll.
"Crap!" sighed Raven as she backed up from the deadly blonde.
"Raven heads up!" yelled Richard as he pulled on the bar railing and ripped off a piece of the poll and threw it to her.
The poll was long and strong enough to compete with hers. She twirled it in her hands carefully keeping her eyes on the girl.
"You don't even know how to use that thing!" laughed Terra.
"No but I once tried to be a cheerleader."
Raven twirled the poll in her fingers and threw it up high. Terra followed the poll with her eyes while Raven slammed her fist into Terra's face.
"And I also took a year of boxing classes." smiled Raven as she rubbed her knuckles.
Terra fell on her back with a bloody nose and a cry of pain while Raven walked over her and up the railing.
She ran up to Richard's side who was staring into Slade's eyes. Garfield walked next to Slade and looked at the two of them.
"You ready to do this?" asked Richard curiously.
Raven held her poll in her hand and nodded sadly.
"Let's go!"
Richard tried to kick Slade but her evaded his attack quickly and landed a punch in Richard's chest as he moved away.
"So after all this time Richard, you finally get the courage to attack me?" laughed Slade.
Richard rose to his feet and held his fists in defense.
Garfield didn't hold back as he tried to slash Raven in half. But he missed by centimeters. Raven grabbed Garfield's hands and held them to his side as she tried to get into his mind. She kept her mind concentrated but she couldn't get into her boyfriends sealed mind. There was only one thing to do, she placed her lips against his and felt his shield and she entered his mind. All of his lost memories came flooding back.
"Raven?" he said confused.
He looked at her and then fell to his knees.
"What are you waiting for slave? Strike her know!" yelled Slade in anger.
"No…no…not Raven, I can't hurt her, I love…her!" yelled Garfield as he threw the axe away.
Slade let out a yell of anger as threw Richard to the wall.
"If you won't get the job done! I will!" yelled Slade as he pulled the lever.
Plasmus fell from the chain and was about to slip into the cement until Kori swung by on another chain and grabbed him and dropped him to the ground below.
"No! No! No! This can't be!" yelled Slade as he watched his plan uncoil before him.
Raven sighed as she leaned back only to be grabbed by a bloody Terra.
"You think that trick was funny, witch?" she growled as she wrapped raven around the chain hanging over the batch and watched as it began to dunk Raven in the cement.
Garfield watched with anger as Raven began to sink. He ran and grabbed the edge of the chain and tied it to a loop on the floor holding Raven just above the batch of cement.
"What the hell?" yelled Terra as she grabbed Raven and began to pull her down!
Terra gasped as she felt a pair of hands on her legs.
"Hey Terra! That kiss, was second rate." Garfield yelled as he yanked her feet from in under her and watched as she fell into the cement.
Her feet began to sink and she yelled as she clawed for the edge of the tank.
"Slade help me baby!" she yelled in pain.
Slade looked at her and gave her a small smile.
"Sorry kid but I can't hang around failures." He whispered.
Terra screamed as she sank into the cement and her final words before she was taken up by the liquid of death.
"I really did love you."
Garfield carried Raven in his hands to the others who were sitting to the side sweating and bleeding. Jason and Victor had slammed the two goons together and made a belly up sandwich out of them.
They had all dragged the knocked out slaves of Slade to the front in a line. But Richard kneeled on one knee holding his ribs as he watched Slade rise to his feet from a steel pole to the face.
"No way, what will it take to stop this guy?" huffed Jason as he got back up.
The group approached Slade and looked at him confused.
"Why do you fight back Slade? You've lost it all." stammered Raven.
"Very untrue, I still can end the green one's miserable life!" he laughed as he pulled out a pistol from hi pocket.
Before anyone could react the bullet blasted from the barrel and traveled to Garfield's skull, but a black arm blocked its path. The arm took the bullet and shot it back at Slade with a metal on metal clink. The deadly bullet traveled and impacted in Slade's right chest. The bullet pierced his back and the boy fell to the ground with a scream of pain as he sat there unmoving.
"But how?" he gasped.
Victor pulled off his shirt and pulled on a scar at his joints. The skin peeled off revealing a metal grey and blue arm.
"When I lost my parents, I lost both of my arms. But luckily the good people at S.T.A.R.S libratory gave me these metal ones." smiled Victor as he looked at the defeated man.
"No, no, no, this cannot be, beaten by a group of kids? Teenagers? You think you all are gods, Titans of this city. Well you're wrong. Teen Titans are still just kids. One day you all will fall by my hand. You can't stop me I will be back!"
"No you won't at this moment a bounty tem called the Dark Angels are coming to take you into custody. Your daddy's cops can't save you now." smiled Jason as he through Plasmus's unconscious body over his shoulder.
"No, no, no, you all are wrong I will be back, you just watch."
Just as he finished his sentence the door busted open and a group of leather dressed men walked in. The cuffed all of the fallen teens, and a tall leathered man with a long brown beard came over to Slade.
"Slade Wilson Jr., it's about time we found you. You have so many file's that you wont be out for a long time." laughed the man.
"My father will get me out, you just watch."
"No he won't boy, now that we have you in custody your father can't touch you or the prison we send you to and at this moment a group of my men are pulling your father out from under him. You will spend the rest of your life in hell you sick little bastard."
Slade let out a laugh so evil it sent shivers down the teens spines.
"You haven't seen the last of me Garfield Logan, I will get you, you just watch, I will get you!" he yelled as the man put the boy in the car and drove off.
Bruce approached the boys and smiled at them.
"Good work guys you did a hell of a job." He smiled.
"What's happening to the mayor?"
"Well the government has found a file containing a bunch of notes and scams on Wilson and at this moment they are stripping him of his power and appointing a new mayor."
"That's awesome!" laughed Garfield in joy.
"Hey guys what is it he called us?" asked Victor with a smile.
"Teen Titans I think it is." laughed Richard.
Garfield put his arm around Raven and smiled.
"The Teen Titans, I like it."
