Chapter 5: General Immortal Arrives

As several hours finally passed, General Immortal arrived on the scene with his flagship which was a large battleship along with several of his fleet. The general then got onto a shuttle and it took off toward the carrier that Cree and Chad were on. Both Cree and Chad along with the remnants of their forces greeted General Immortal as they stood in traditional military positions and opening the welcome mat as General Immortal emerged from the shuttle.

"General Immortal" bowed Cree and Chad.

"I'm very disappointed with you two" said General Immortal, "your forces could have done some damage if it were not for a spy within your inner circle that you were trusting."

"It's about time you finally arrived" said Madame Rogue as she walked into the scene, "I had to deal with all of this incompetence with these two."

"I have noticed" added General Immortal.

"But it wasn't our fault!" protested Cree.

"Don't you dare snap back at me!" shouted General Immortal, "You very well should know that you should always suspect an enemy mole within your inner circle. That is why you continue to fail because of such moles."

"So what do you want us to do, general?" asked Chad.

"I want your ship to be beside my flagship and watch over the battle against the Titans" replied General Immortal, "if Sector V and the Titans and the enemy mole are in the Titan Tower, we can strike now."

"A wise choice" said Madame Rogue.

"And what do we do?" asked one of the teenagers to General Immortal.

"You?" laughed General Immortal, "You do nothing but watch and learn! Your incompetence of stamping out the enemy mole surrendered your rights to attack your enemy. Now you are under my control and my orders are to say that you do nothing throughout this battle! Understood?"

"Yes sir" sighed all of the teenagers along with Cree and Chad.

"Good" said General Immortal as he was walking back toward his shuttle, "I'll start directing the battle from my flagship. Madame Rogue shall make sure your incompetence doesn't interfere with my plans."

Meanwhile back at Titan Tower, Titans East and the Teen Titans along with Sector V were in the main room.

"So who was that you helped out awhile ago?" asked Number 1 to Speedy.

"It was somebody in trouble" replied Speedy, "so I did what I just did."

"Let's get back to business" said Robin.

"We're having our first meeting on our dealings against the Brotherhood of Evil" continued Robin, "and I can tell you that they are quite a bunch of baddies."

"But I'm more concern of their ties with Father and his minions" said Number 1.

"We don't seem to have any evidence of that" said Raven.

"But we saw those cruddy teenagers who work for Father organize a large armada of some type right outside the bay of this city" said Number 4.

"We should take their word over this" said Aqualad, "it's not like that Father's minions would move a large armada in attempt to attack us."

"Hmm, perhaps you are right" said Robin to Number 1, "Father does have the type of character that would form an alliance with the Brotherhood of Evil."

"And besides" added Number 1, "what better way for this Brotherhood of Evil to be more evil than to capture and use the entire adult population under their whim through someone like Father."

"So let's go out there and kick their butts!" shouted Number 4.

"I think we might be already too late" interrupted Speedy, "I heard and saw some explosions in the distance before I rescued the person fleeing from the scene."

"Say did you happen to get a good look at the person who fled the scene?" asked Number 5.

"Well, not really" replied Speedy, "when I saved his life, he thanked me and then just took off."

"Sounds like Maurice to me" whispered Number 5 to herself.

"Who?" asked Speedy.

"Uh, never mind" replied Number 5.

Suddenly Minos and Menos came from right outside the tower with urgent news.

"What's the problem?" asked Bumblebee.

"There is a large armada that's heading this way" said Minos.

"I thought you said that armada was destroyed" said Number 5 to Speedy.

"I did" said Speedy.

"Let's take a closer look at who's behind this armada" said Number 1 as he took out his binoculars., "I can see Cree and Chad in one of the ships, but I don't know who is the old guy on the high tech battleship really is."

"It must be General Immortal" said Raven.

"I don't think we can take them all on" said Cyborg.

"We have to find a way to get out of here and fast" said Number 2.

"We'll combine your ship with the T-sub and use it as a space shuttle" said Robin.

"Let's get cracking then" said Cyborg.

As the Titans and Sector V were combining their ships together, General Immortal was finally ready to make his move against Titan Tower. But before General Immortal could even give out his command, a computer screen popped up with the image of the Delightful Children from Down the Lane.

"This better be important" said General Immortal as he was sitting in his command chair in the command center on his flagship, "I'm about to annihilate the Titans."

"We have been waiting for your guidance to launch our attack against the Kids Next Door Moon Base" said the Delightful Children, "and Father is most impatient about it."

"Your Father needs to learn about patience" said General Immortal, "it is one reason why he along with you have failed as well."

"Very well then" said the Delightful Children, "have it your way."

"Bah!" shouted General Immortal as he turned off the computer monitor, "Incompetent fools! On with the battle!"

"Uh, general" said one of the soldiers as he learned over the general, "you are not going to like this."

Suddenly the computer monitor came on again with a strange shuttle leaving Titan Tower and heading toward space.

"Looks like Sector V is helping the Titans" asid Cree as she looked at it with her binoculars, "time to chase them down. Ready to come along Chad?"

"The pleasure is all mine" said Chad.

As both of them were heading toward their vehicles, Madame Rogue and several soldiers from the Brotherhood of Evil stood in their path.

"Out of our way!" shouted Cree.

"Or you'll what?" asked Madame Rogue, "It is your own incompetence that allowed your own forces to be destroyed by an enemy mole. Why should I let them pass?"

"Let them pass" said General Immortal as he interrupted her through her communicator, "I think I know what they are doing. Let them prove their loyalty to us."

"Very well then general" said Madame Rogue as she turned off her communicator, "you two may go at your own risk."

As Madame Rogue signaled the soldiers to stand aside and allow Cree and Chad get onto their vehicles, Chad and Cree took off and began to chase down Sector V and the Titans. Meanwhile, Father was having a secret meeting with the Brain and Mala in his secret compound.

"I'm very displeased to see where this has been going" said Father to the Brain, "if you want to subvert the adult population under your whim, you have to produce some results to convince me."

"Don't worry Father" said the Brain, "we'll be delivering it."

"Uh, sir" whispered Mala to the Brain, "General Immortal and Madame Rogue ran into some trouble. It seems that Sector V and the Titans fled Titan Tower before General Immortal could arrive. Apparently it was because the Delightful Children called him and allowed them to get away."

"What!" shouted Father as he lid up and slammed his fist on the table, "I thought this general of yours was the best!"

"Patience Father" said the Brain, "in due time we shall receive some results. I did hear reports that two of your best agents are chasing Sector V and the Titans down."

"Good" said Father as he calmed down, "send me some report when we get the results."
