Chapter 7: Tigress' Unveiling
Terra was dressed in a black ninja suit, revealing only her eyes and her blonde hair. She had a long black cape, and also held the Sword of the Storm. "What do you think?" she asked Wuya. Wuya nodded approvingly. "Now, shall we attack?" Terra rolled her eyes. "Yes," she muttered. "We shall."
"Back, then?" Robin nodded. Starfire was by his side. "I think it's pretty obvious we are," Robin muttered. "Such comebacks," Cyborg muttered. "I wonder where you get them." Suddenly, a blonde-haired girl came in the door. "Change your security codes, already." Beast Boy stopped what he was doing. "Who are you?" he asked through a mouth full of tofu. "Tigress," Terra said. "Now, fear my wrath!" Tigress raised her arms, and a support beam of the Tower almost crashed down on Robin. "Titans, GO!" shouted Robin, preparing to fight this new foe.
"Bad news," Kimiko muttered. Raimundo had sat down next to her. "What is it?" he asked. "You know the Psychic Dragon?" asked Kimiko. Raimundo nodded. The Scrolls had told him that. "Well, she's on the Heylin side. And, she's attacking Titan Tower. Even with a new member, they can't win." Raimundo looked at her. "They've got a new member? We better get going." Kimiko shrugged. "Dojo won't approve," she said darkly. "He didn't approve of Robin." Raimundo pulled something from under his pillow. "Come outside," he said.
Omi watched as Raimundo and Kimiko went into the Silver Manta-Ray. "We must follow them," he whispered to Dojo and Clay.
As they landed near Titan Tower, they saw that it was in disrepair. They entered. "It's too dark in here," said Raimundo. "No problem," said Kimiko. "Judallei Flip, Fire!" The room was immediately illuminated- it was dark, and had black curtains hung. "Raven's room," Raimundo guessed. Kimiko pulled out the Mind-Reader Conch. "I'm going to use the Conch to seek out the nearest people," Kimiko said. Raimundo nodded. "Okay, but quickly. Heylin Dragons are fast." Kimiko whispered, "Mind-Reader Conch." She tried to pick up other people, but she could hear Raimundo's thoughts. I can't listen to Raimundo's thoughts like this! she thought desperately, trying to undo the Conch's effect. However, his thoughts were too loud. She's really good looking, Raimundo was thinking. Much prettier than the girls in Rio... Kimiko dropped the Conch. "Well?" Raimundo said. "Did you find anything?" Kimiko shook her head. "You read my thoughts, didn't you?" yelled Raimundo. "Just by accident!" she said, and she was surprised to find she was crying. "Oh, really? Did you find anything out?" Raimundo's face was burning. "Well, y-you were thinking t-that I was pretty, or s-something..." Raimundo looked doubtful. "You can focus the powers," he said quietly. "I'm sorry!" she sobbed. "I-it's just I feel the same way about you, and I just wanted to k-know if you felt the s-same about me!" There was a stunned silence between the two dragons. "I'm sorry for yelling at you, Kim," Raimundo said softly. "It's okay, I shouldn't have anyway." Kimiko replied. There was another pause, and Kimiko threw her arms around him. Raimundo patted her on the back.
Slade smiled. "The Xiaolin Dragons are... busy. But their teammates shall be coming soon." Whiplash smirked. "The cowboy and the bald kid... easy pickings. Let me take care of it." Slade shook his head. "No, it's my turn to go. We'll let the Titans know exactly what they're dealing with. Then, we strike."
"Hiyah!" cried Tigress, flipping over Cyborg and kicking Raven. Robin threw a Birdarang, and it exploded, shrouding Tigress in smoke. She jumped, ripping rocks from the walls. They were flung at Robin. However, Starfire came in front of him, throwing the rock back into the wall. "Thanks," Robin yelled. Beast Boy was still trading punches with Tigress when one hit Tigress' face, punching her mask off. "Terra!" Beast Boy said. "That's right," she sneered. "And the Heylin side will rule!" She raised the Sword of the Storm. "Terra," said Beast Boy. "Don't-" Terra grinned in an evil way. "Sword of the Storm!" A gust of wind hit Beast Boy in the stomach, and he was propelled backwards. The window shattered from the impact of the Sword's power, and someone came through- a masked someone. "Slade," Robin breathed, walking towards him.
