Chapter 4: The Sabotage
As the shuttle carrying the team of teenager pilots landed on the air craft carrier, Cree along with Chad were on the runway along with other armored teenagers waiting for them. When the hatch of the shuttle opened, they were shocked to see Madame Rogue standing in the entrance.
"Madame Rogue!" said Chad in an astonished voice as he kneeled down to her, "We did not expect you to be with us."
"You were never to expect me" said Madame Rogue as she stepped onto the carrier's platform, "I was on assignment by the Brain and Father to root out a spy within your group."
"A spy!" asked Cree in a astonished voice, "I can assure you we have no spies here that would cause any trouble."
"I would hope that you don't" said Madame Rogue, "but let's say there is a spy in your inner circle. Who would it be?"
"Uh, somebody who is being shown the ropes?" asked Chad.
"Absolutely" replied Madame Rogue as she walked up to Chad, "and I suspect a certain someone within your inner circle is the main culprit on giving the information to the enemy."
"But who would be the one to do this?" asked Cree.
After Cree made that statement, there were several explosions against the fleet the teenagers were commanding. Each of the explosives blew up, destroying all of the fighters and all of the ships. Madame Rogue could see a small ship fleeing from the explosion.
"Who the heck did this!" cried Chad as he was about to pull out some hair.
"Let me handle this" said Madame Rogue, "you two handle Father and the Brain."
As Cree and Chad went into the main command center on the aircraft carrier, Madame Rogue then got onto a motor boat which the teenagers provided her with. She then began to follow the ship that fled the explosions. The ship that was fleeing from the explosions had Maurice with the wheel. Maurice was heading straight toward Titan Tower and knew that someone was on his tail.
"So, you are a spy for the Titans, or perhaps for those pesky Kids Next Door?" asked Madame Rogue then she noticed the control panel on the motor boat which controlled the weapons. "So, let's see how you do against a few heat seeking missiles."
As she pressed the buttons on the control panel, the rockets emerged from the motor boat. When Maurice took a look from the mirror of the ship, he noticed two rockets coming toward him. He attempted to do several maneuvers to evade the rockets, but the rockets kept against Maurice. He then attempted to contact Titan Tower to receive any help, yet there didn't seem to be any signal coming from the tower as Madame Rogue was secretly jamming his signal as well. As the two rockets continued to close in on Maurice, he closed his eyes for just a second, but suddenly one of the rockets were destroyed. As Maurice turned around, an arrow hit the second rocket, destroying it before it could reach Maurice. When he turned around, he noticed a strange figure on the island with the Titan Tower. The strange figure on the island seemed to signal Maurice to come onto it, and as he finally arrived on the island, he noticed that it was Speedy of Titans East.
"So you were the one who destroyed those rockets?" asked Maurice.
"Yep" replied Speedy, "I'm Speedy of Titans East. I noticed that you were being chased by Madame Rogue from top of the tower."
"Uh, look" said Maurice, "this is just a temporary stop for me. After this, I'm heading off."
Meanwhile, back on the main aircraft carrier, Chad and Cree were in a secret room with the computer image of Father and another image of the Brain.
"What do you have to report?" asked Father, "Is everything going according to plan?"
"We, uh" replied Chad as sweat ran down his neck and forehead, "ran into some trouble."
"Let me guess" said the Brain, "you were sabotaged by somebody weren't you?"
"How did he know that?" whispered Cree to Chad.
"I know because I sent Madame Rogue" replied the Brain, "to investigate anything that might deal with a spy in Father's teenager army."
"Looks like you were right on the money with that" said Father then he turns to Chad and Cree, "I'm very disappointed with you two. You two were my top agents who were assigned to go against the Teen Titans."
"Don't be so hard on them" said the Brain, "you are equally responsible for this as well."
"You are blaming me for something that I didn't do?" asked Father in an astonished voice.
"Your failures are the reason why you haven't destroyed your enemies" replied the Brain, "as for Chad and Cree, I'm sending in a real general. General Immortal shall come to aid you with some of my elite soldiers along with a new set of fleet."
"Well, let's hope he doesn't run into the same type of trouble my two top agents went through" said Father.
"I can assure you that he won't" said the Brain.
"You two may go now" said Father to Chad and Cree, "and oh, give respect to General Immortal when he arrives with the fleet."
"Yes Father" said both Chad and Cree as they both bowed and left the scene.
The scene then changes to the Brain which Mala and General Immortal stand beside him.
"I told you I sensed some trouble" said Mala to the Brain.
"Don't worry" said the Brain, "this time we shall destroy the Titans. I just hope Father's Delightful Children won't have any problems directing an attack against the Kids Next Door moon base."
"I just hope they succeed so that I won't have to come in and baby sit them like I have to do with these teenagers who are loyal to Father" said General Immortal.
"Don't worry" said the Brain, "I'm sure you'll do fine."
