Hurah! Part three has arrived! Yes, I did make BB living in a cardboard box. Sorry all BB fans, but I kind of figured that could work since some animals sleep in boxes, etc. This chapter has Plasmus, but I don't think I did a very good job of describing him...
Anyway, this chapter begins to introduce Robin's leadership, and how he just naturally takes charge and wastes no time in battle, even for those who are important to him. I hope I did a good job of describing Robin's character in this. Starfire doesn't have a very big part in this, but Raven isn't even in this chapter! She'll come early in the fourth, though.
I also developed Cyborg in this. In the past two, Cyborg has been resentful of his robotic side, but I brought out his more playful side with a classic 'BOOYAH'. I kind of messed around somethings, because I wasn't sure of how somethings were done. I couldn't resist the part when Cyborg...Er, on second thought, I'll let you find out for yourselves. ;)
OMG! Thank you so much for all the reviews! I feel all tingly inside. Umm, so, enjoy! And don't forget, REVIEW!
The following morning, a sad looking boy was slowly and sadly kicking a can ahead of him until he reached it; where he kicked it again. He was unique looking, with a bold face and strong jaw line. He had a canine tooth that stuck up over his mouth, and, strangest of all, green skin.
His face was solemn and lonely looking; an expression that he rarely wore. It wasn't until the sound of a garbage can being knocked over and a cat's howl echoing down the alley he was passing until he realized he had wandered into the scummy part of the city.
Beast Boy, after walking back to the cardboard box he was currently spending his nights in, had gotten very dirty looks, and since had changed his attire around a bit. His purple and black jumpsuit was still snugly fitted as a first layer, but over his waist he wore a navy blue sweatshirt and baseball cap that shadowed his face. The lower part of his outfit looked like running shorts to anyone who passed by.
He was beginning to feel uneasy as he continued downtown, so, morphing into a falcon, he flew in the direction of a nearby office building. As he flew in the opposite direction he had been heading before, a strange shape was beginning to form on the bay. It looked like a construction site, but his keen eyesight could not make out any machinery.
He altered his course and headed straight for the small island. He screeched in his bird voice and quickly dived into the ocean, morphing into a dolphin upon contact.
He glided through the water with ease, jumping out for air every now and then. On one jump, a particularly high one, the changeling morphed himself one more. He felt his fins become wings, his head curved, and a sharp beak where his dolphin-nose had been formed. He landed on the shore of the island effortlessly, and returned to his human form.
The area was desolate, a plain stretch of green grass with certain rocky areas. In the middle of the island stood the beginnings of a building. The frame was completed, and, much to Beast Boy's surprise, looked like a 'T'. He was the only one on the island, but it was obvious that whoever was building this magnificent tower had left to replenish their supplies or would be returning shortly.
He began to circle it, but stopped dead when an alarm rang around the city. No human would've been able to hear it from where he was, but his hearing was magnified several more times then an average human's. With one last glance at the handy work, he jumped into the air and became a green eagle.
"It isn't much, but it is only temp-"
He was interrupted by loud, screeching noise. Across town, the police sirens were wailing. Even with the blaring alarm of the computer screaming through the cave walls, Robin could still make out the faint sounds of a police vehicle.
He wasted no time; he was out the cave before he would've had time to finish his sentence. The remaining occupants of the cave exchanged glances and followed after him.
One was airborne; her crimson-red hair wavering like a flag on a windy day. The other was on foot, running with a steady pace. His face was covered by a gray hood, and he was wearing very dull looking sweat clothes.
When the trio had arrived at the crime scene, they wasted no time. The spiky haired teenager, who had obviously appointed himself leader, yelled "Go!" and began throwing disks at the villain. It was the ugliest thing Robin had ever seen; it was as tall as a building, with gooey, maroon skin (If it could be described as that…). It screeched and slashed out at Robin, who ducked only in time.
One of the few things that could enrage Starfire was her friends in danger; Robin especially. Her eyes glowed the same threatening green they had when first meeting Cyborg, and she threw something that moved so fast they just looked like green flashes of light. They landed on the creature with a blast. When the smoke cleared, the creature threw an arm at Starfire, who was sent hurtling down to the ground, trapped in the goo that covered the monster. She used several attempts at flying out of the gooey substance, but they only resulted in the material snapping her down harder.
Robin ran towards her and began cutting the material with a knife in his utility belt. It wasn't affected by the knife, so Robin stepped back and threw a disk at the purple goo. It immediately was enclosed in ice, which Starfire easily broke from. She smiled broadly at him, but he didn't return the smile. Instead, he took off towards the monster.
The hooded man pulled back his sweatshirt sleeve to reveal a mechanical arm. He shifted his gears like he had done two nights before, and aimed his arm at the monsters eyes. He closed his eyes and clenched what felt like his fist as hard as he could, and an icy blue beam shot out from his arm.
He slowly opened his human eye. What was left of the monster was a man, who looked dead at first, but his chest was steadily rising up and down. The half-robotic man jumped up and down and did a dance similar to one that a foot ball player might do after scoring a touchdown.
"BOOYAH!" He yelled, punching a fist into the air. He quickly wished he hadn't. His yell awakened the man, who instantly grew twenty feet and covered in that oh-too-similar maroon goo.
Robin threw an angry look at Cyborg, but softened after he realized it. They continued to fight. Cyborg tried his sonic cannon once more, but this time the gooey monster was expecting it, and dodged every attack. The battle raged on, each one of the trio's attacks failing.
Before anyone could blink, a green figure attacked the beast. It jumped into the Monster's center, who quickly absorbed it and sealed it inside itself. This left the trio's mouths past their chins and their eyes wide with disbelief. The monster threw back its head and made a long, wailing sound that sounded as though it was laughing. It abruptly stopped, almost too quickly. Its eyes widened and stared down at his torso. The gooey skin began to shake and churn, and exploded.
Lying in the middle of a maroon puddle was a green whale. In a fraction of a second, the massive creature swirled and became a green-skinned boy. His legs wobbled, and he fell to his knees. His eyes were heavy, and a faint smile could be seen on his lips before he slipped out of consciousness.
Okay, in case you're wondering, Beast Boy came in and jumped into Plasmus. From there, he became a whale and blew up Plasmus. Sounds darker then it would've looked. Plasmus is still alive, sleeping soundly across the street from where BB is.
No Raven in this chapter, sorry! She'll be in the next chapter when she does something for Beast Boy.
I simply could not resist the foot ball-touchdown dance. I could totally picture Cyborg doing that, so I threw it in for some comedy.
I think there will probably be 2-3 more chapters. The next will introduce some more of BB, possibly Raven. If not, chapter five will. And I intend on making six a big battle scene and Titans tower is finished, and...
Oops, don't want to give too much away! Keep reviewing!
P.S. I know they might seem fairly short, but when I type them up, they're always at least three-four pages. If you read them aloud or mouth them they'll seem longer. And there's less dialogue and more descriptions, so there aren't as many paragraphs, etc.
