But, ya had 2 go through with it 2 get the fic right! ;) But, this is one I think will turn out to be a much better chappie! Anyways, enjoy, read, review!
The Teen Titans had finally tracked down their target, the black cloaked man.
"FREEZE!" Robin cried out, as soon as he saw him poke out from a dark alley nearby. "Titans! GO!" He cried out his catch phrase and the group headed out after him.
The cloaked man dashed over trashcans, over fences, any obstacle he came across was easily conquered.
Until Hayley caught up to him along with Raven and Starfire.
"Surrender, please, we do not wish to bring harm to anyone!" Starfire said, but Raven had other plans at the moment. "Azerath Metrion Zinthos!" The gothic chanted as six large cinderblocks were hoisted into the air, and thrown towards the shadowy figure, whom dodged five, and severed the one in two at contact.
The three girls gasped and then the boys of the team showed up. The battle went on, for hours, but no matter what the team did to stop him, nothing helped, over and over that night it was chasing and fighting.
Eastern Jump City……..a ten year old girl called Daima sat on her porch, petting her cat, when the black cloaked man, and the Titans hot on his heels came rushing towards her.
Suddenly, the girl saw the white of one of his eyes widen, she too, was wearing a moonfire pendant.
The man then seized Daima and rushed away for a safer spot.
The Titans gasped, the little girl could be heard screaming all the way there. "SOMEBODY! ANYBODY! HEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLPPPP!" Was the girl's implore.
"Damn it!" Robin cursed, pounding his fist into the side of a brick building next to where he was standing.
"Robin, it wasn't you're fault, the asshole's just too fast for us, admit it." Hayley finally had to say it, and what she'd said, was unquestionably true. And there was no room for an argument.
"But, all that matters now, is finding him and that girl, before something worse happens." Raven chimed in, trying to terminate the relational argument between the two before it'd even started.
"Raven's right, Titans move out!" Robin cried as the team set off to try and locate their target.
Meanwhile, the black cloaked man had dragged Daima all the way to the city limits of Eastern Jump, and they were now sitting in a dark alley. The man still had the girl by the arms.
"OW! Let go of me!" Daima cried, as she suddenly felt his hand clasp over her fragile mouth.
"I'm not going to hurt you yet." The man stated, and with that being said, Daima's dark green eyes widened and she flailed around now even more uncontrollably.
"Shut up!" The man commanded, pulling out a knife. Now, all Daima could do was sit there with her eyes shut in horror.
But the next thing she felt wasn't a cold blade, it was the feeling of something slowly sliding off from her neck. Daima slowly opened her eyes, and first felt her thin neck, it was bare, he's sawed off her moonfire pendant.
"Oh." Daima gasped to herself, and looked around, the man was nowhere to be found, but the warmth of his body, and the coldness of his metal still lingered all around her. She was frightened.
Just then, the Titans rushed over, Robin's voice could now be heard. "I think it came from over there!" He shouted, Daima simply backed herself over into the far left corner of the alley. Just as the Titans walked in slowly.
Daima sat down, cowering with her eyes closed again. As if trying to escape reality, if only for a little while.
"It's okay, we're not going to hurt you. You're going to be alright." Robin said, as Daima looked up.
"Can you tell us where the man who captured you went?" Cyborg asked from behind his leader.
"I-I really dunno. He just stole my amulet, and took off. OH! And- and he said, that he wasn't going to hurt me, yet." Daima replied. "I'm Daima by the way, Daima Cameron." The brown haired girl said, getting up. Robin then found that the little girl only stood to about 2 ½ or maybe even 3- feet tall.
"Well, we'd better get you back home Daima, it's dangerous for you to be out her this time a night with him wandering around." Cyborg pointed out, as Robin turned around and nodded in agreement.
Later on that night, the arrived at the Cameron home.
"Thanks for walking me home, I'll let you know if anything else goes on with this guy!" Daima said, smiling and waving her new Titan Communicator around, as she waved and walked inside.
Meanwhile, in Pahora, Katrina was sitting in her room, playing on a large, white baby grand piano in the corner. A thing the young queen often did to soothe her depression and anger.
As of now, she was a mixture of both. Her kingdom was still in the midst of a fierce war, and as much as she didn't want to, she began drafting all Pahoran men over the age of seventeen. And sending them off to fight right away.
Just then, Violet, one of her other daughters walked in. She was a gothic girl, with short black hair, streaked red, and wearing a black, white and red outfit.
"Mother, what're you doing?" She asked, leaning over the piano, to look at her mother.
A form of meditation, now, I can see, that the joining of the two is near, it happens today." The red head stated, as her azure eyes shot open.
Back on Earth- It was Monday morning, but the Hive agents had off, which was good news for everyone. Especially those like Mammoth, See-More, and Private Hive, whom only had a couple of hours to throw together a project for combat techniques class. (I've been there before! Tee-Hee!)
Gizmo then walked down the stairs to join the others.
"Hey Jinx, I'm going into the city today, see what they've got up for grabs in that new tech store on main street." Gizmo called. "Have fun!" Jinx called as Gizmo grabbed a muffin and fled from the dorm home.
It was a lovely spring day, as Gizmo made his way down to the tech store, he quickly strapped on his tech and finished the muffin. (Ah, the wonders of multi- tasking! ;)
As he headed in, he unleashed the mechanical spider legs from his pack and sent people running and screaming in all possible directions. And little did he know, but Daima was outside watching the whole thing.
Gizmo snatched up as many computer chips, calculators 'n' such that he could carry.
When Daima walked in.
"Hey you! I'm calling the Titans! You shouldn't be in here doing this!" Daima cried out from down below, but before she could, one of Gizmo's spider legs knocked it out of her hands.
An into a shelf of computer manuals, and computers themselves. "Look out!" He cried, stopping the computers from falling. But the small metal attachments, accessories, and manuals, uh, that's another story.
"OW!" Daima cried out from under a pile of, rather light rubble.
Gizmo then hopped down to help her, something he'd NEVER do for any other victim like that on another Hive crime spree. However, Gizmo had a strange feeling, that this girl was different.
Gizmo pulled her out from under the rubble, and flew her out onto the roof, just as the Titans showed up to examine the damage.
"Hey! You're just a little kid!" Daima cried out as Gizmo deposited her onto the roof.
"Like you have room to talk!" Gizmo yelled back.
"WELL! Agh, anyways, I'm Daima Cameron." The girl said, calming herself as she ang Gizmo sat down. "I'm Gizmo Tremaine." He answered.
"So, what were you doing in there?" Daima asked.
"I'm an agent for this place called Hive Academy, and we pretty much do crap like that all the time. You see this tech, I built it, that's, where I got the name Gizmo from." He said proudly.
"Wow, you made all this stuff!" Daima exclaimed. As her new acquaintance nodded.
"So, you, uh, wanna come back to the academy and, uh, meet my friends or something?" Gizmo asked as Daima gave it some thought.
"Well, okay! It's not like I have anything better to do today anyways." Daima said as Gizmo picked her up with a little struggle and flew them down from the roof, and off to Hive academy. And fleeing the store without a trace.
"What happened?" Robin questioned as he looked around the heavily damaged store. There were no clues to be found. However, they safely assumed that it wasn't the black hooded assassin.
Meanwhile (I gotta stop using this….) at Hive Academy, Gizmo had been showing Daima around, when he finally stopped at Dorm Home #16.
"So, this is where you live during the school year?" Daima asked as Gizmo nodded and opened the door. "So, where are you during the school year?" Gizmo asked as Daima simply shrugged and said- "Home. I don't go to school, I'm home schooled. Ever since my adopted family, well found out this- thing about me, they've pulled me out of a lot of things out in public so I wouldn't get hurt. Like they said I probably would." Daima stated as they walked in.
"So, Dai, how old are you?" Gizmo asked, as the two took a seat on the couch.
"I'm ten. My birthday is on February sixteenth." Daima said as Gizmo's black eyes widened at this coincidence.
"So's mine! And I'm ten too! Same year!" Gizmo cried out, just as the other six of the Hive Seven turned to look at them. "What?" Gizmo asked, looking around in sheer annoyance.
"Aww! That's sweet!" Mimi cooed.
"Um, what's so sweet?" Gizmo asked mockingly. "I didn't know you had a girlfriend!" Mimi replied smiling. Daima then blushed and Gizmo's eyes widened. "GIRLFRIEND? She is NOT MY GIRLFRIEND! She's just a friend, that happened to be a girl. Okay!" Gizmo cried out.
"Sorry." Mimi scoffed.
"C'mon Daima, let's go upstairs where we can talk- ALONE!" Gizmo yelled back as he dragged the girl upstairs and into his room. While Mimi rested a hand on her chin, with a look on her face that said- "Hmm, I wonder what they're doing up there." (Oooh! AC! Tee-Hee!)
Meanwhile, in Gizmo's room, the two were talking once more.
"So, you're adopted as well?" Daima asked. As her friend nodded twice in silence. "So, what did you're real family leave you with before you were adopted?" Gizmo asked, hoping that they'd both not say the same thing.
"A pendant with a crescent moon on fire. Why? OH! And it had the word- Orrei carved into the back." Daima finished, as Gizmo looked on in utter shock. "What's wrong?" Daima asked. "N-nothing, it's just that, I was left, with the same pendant. But mine had the word Chiheo on the back." Gizmo replied as they both looked at each other with even more shock.
"O-kay, now I think, we are waaay more alike than we thought." Daima stated as Gizmo nodded with a whispered 'yeah' before deciding to change the subject.
Back on Pahora, Katrina was sitting on her throne, beside an empty one, her beloved husband's.
Kris- or, Gizmo the third, her husband, was presumed dead after the first birthday of Chiheo and Orrei. "Oh Kris, why couldn't you've just stayed away from the battles that night? Why did you have to go and leave me here all alone? WHY!" Katrina thought to herself in sadness.
When suddenly, the black hooded man walked into her courtroom, with Chiheo and Orrei's amulets at hand.
"I told you, I never wanted to see you're damned soul in this palace again! This time you will- Katrina was then cut off as the man dropped the amulets into her husband's throne.
"W-what are these?" She asked, her voice shaking slightly.
"Just read the backs dear Katrina, you'll know in an instant." The man said, a sinister streak in his tone. Katrina then picked up the pendants and gasped. –"Chiheo, Orrei. Where- are- they?" She asked in an overwhelmed and enraged voice.
"They're together, but I'm afraid, that they won't have much longer to last, once I get to them at least." The man threatened.
"You will NEVER get you're hands on my children! Do you hear me? The prince and the princess will return as prophesized." Katrina finished. Sitting back down, still red in the face from intense frustration.
"Hmm, I'd like to believe that, Katrina, really, truly. But you no longer have a say in the matter. In three more days, at the stroke of twelve, we level you're planet, and Chiheo and Orrei, will DIE!" The man cried out, as Katrina backed away, imploring that he need not harm them, or the innocent residents of her planet.
"Stroke of twelve my liege. That's all it takes." The hooded man said, as he exited the kingdom, leaving the queen to sulk in tears alone in the dark room.
