Teen Titans – The Hardest Foe
Chapter 1 – Fun at the Fair
The gun fired, as Wild Bill fell down from the shot fired by Sheriff Thomson. The Titans were enjoying a day at the fair and Robin and Starfire had stopped to watch the Wild West show.
"His aim was off," commented Starfire, "I do not see how he could have such accuracy with such primitive weapons at that range anyway."
"It's not real," replied Robin as he cheered the sheriff on, "Those guns just make loud noises, it's like TV, only up close."
"It is make believe?" asked Starfire confused, "They are not really hurt?"
"Of course they're not hurt," replied Robin, "How do you think they do three shows a day if they keep hurting each other, they'll all get up at the end of this and walk away."
"Hey guys!" yelled Cyborg walking up to them eating a corn dog, "Enjoying the show?"
"Sure am," replied Robin cheering as another criminal fell.
"That's good," said Cyborg, "You seen Terra and Beastboy around anywhere?"
"Someone call for us," came Beastboy's voice from behind as he walked up with Terra who was holding a giant teddy bear.
"Where'd you get that?" shrieked Starfire in delight pointing at the teddy bear.
"Beastboy won him for me," replied Terra smugly.
"I thought this place was rigged," replied Robin, "I threw as hard as I could and the acted as though they were glued on."
"Nailed actually," replied Beastboy acting even smugger than Terra, "I bet he wasn't expecting a gorilla to have a try though."
"Isn't that cheating?" asked Raven from behind Beastboy.
"I'm only cheating them back," replied Beastboy insistently, "I thought you wanted to see the magic show anyway?"
"Cheap illusions," muttered Raven in response.
"How'd you find us Raven?" asked Robin.
"I heard Starfire across the other side of the fair," replied Raven.
"So did we," giggled Terra.
Starfure looked a little grumpy at the comments but this was soon removed when an explosion came from across the fair.
"Titans move out!" yelled Robin a moment too late as Cyborg sprinted across the fair, Raven and Starfire started to fly as Terra levitated a rock followed by Beastboy as a Raven himself. Robin started off after the other Titans and arrived in to see something he had never thought possible.
Raven had a piece of red tape across her mouth in the shape of an X, Beastboy and Terra were trapped under nets which was draining their energy and Cyborg had a electro bug on his back which was overloading his power cells. But that wasn't what had made him stop and stare. In the centre of this carnage stood the mastermind behind the attack holding the prone form of Starfire in his hand.
"I wondered when you'd turn up," commented Red X.
