"The following people please step forward," King Shadow commanded, "Slade, Man Ray, Mammoth, Jinx, Gizmo, Negaduck, Father, Shocker, Zim, and Skulker!" Looking at one another the beings all stepped forward wonderingly while the others just looked at them from the main room's tables. "You all have been selected for a very difficult task. You shall all take part in the first assault against our nemesis! One of our biggest threats would probably be the pesky Teen Titans, therefore I am sending you all to their city to demolish them all! Don't fail, and meet us on the thirty-seventh within the next ten minutes! Dismissed, everyone else may watch the events from the TVs all around the room and it'll be on channel 9 in your own rooms showing reruns at 10 and 11 pm!"
Immediately everyone became extremely excited. They huddled in groups, hung out in the bars, and some just began to eat breakfast. "Hm, well, at least we're all on the same side." Slade told himself while veiwing the others.
"Well, I got stuck with you again green guy." Skulker told Zim. "They must've seen how well we can work together," the Irken replied closing eyes and yawning loudly.
Negaduck just looked at all of his companions making notes in his head about each one. 'Cool' 'shorty' 'metal head' 'lightning boy' 'deamon dad' 'unlucky chick (watch out for her!)' 'smart runt' 'stupid oaf' and 'water master'. He eyed each of them very carefully before heading over to the bar to get something to drink before departure.
"Good luck!" Amy told Gizmo as she kissed him on the nose. The boy fainted immediately and she muttered, "Don't think he'll last." "Amy," Jake called annoyed but smiling, "Stop playing with his emotions, it's not nice. He's gonna think you wanna date him or something." "But it's fun!" Amy cried happily as she rushed over to her best friend. "Awesome…" Gizmo unconciously moaned.
"Come on everybody!" Jake and Amy cried leading them to the elevator. Somehow they all fit in their and it zoomed downward. "Have a nice fight!" the kids told them letting the villains out. "Finally!" Jack cried greeting them and rushing them over to a platform where the Card Master was tapping its foot, "Card Master will take you to the city where you may cause mass mayhem attracting the heroes!" "Indeed." The Card Master agreed.
He held up a card and they were gone. "Hope they do good, but if they don't Card Master'll finish the job." Jack told himself. "Come on!" Shelaunda whined, "Let's get ready to get lunch!" "Coming!"
"ALERT! ALERT!" the alarm in Titans Tower blared deafeningly, "Villains attacking Pizza Parlor Code RED! Status: CRITICAL!" "Titans go!" Robin shouted jumping onto his cycle and racing towards the city and the others followed his lead.
"I must admit, this food you humans call pizza is delicious!" Skulker sighed leaning back in a chair and closing his eyes. "Well, don't expect to be eating for long…" Jinx told him, "The Titans will be here any second!" "Yeah, they always ruin the fun," Gizmo added cramming a slice into his mouth. "Just as long as their good at fighting," Skulker told them with his mouth full, "I always love a good hunt!" "Oh, you'll get one," commented Mammoth.
Just as Negaduck was picking up a slice the door slammed open and the heroes entered. "Put down that pizza!" shouted the tall robotic looking one as his hand transformed into a cannon and aimed at the duck's head. The slice fell out of Negaduck's hand with a plop and the battle began.
"The betting booths are now open! Place your bets on who you think will kick the most butt!" shouted a cowboy looking villain, "The name's Slipshot Joe! And I run the betting booths here so pay up and watch the battle!" "Here…" Dr. Eggman told the guy sliding him $1,000, "Slade…" "Will do!" Joe replied stuffing the money into a machine. "here, that Jinx person!" said a big brain headed man, the Lobe, as he handed in his $3,000.
"Yeah, that's it! Beat him down!" Professor Scam yelled jumping from chair to chair as he viewed the televised entertainment. Bam! The sound of Scam being blown off down a hallway drowned out the match's noise. "Man, that guy can punch!" Scam said as he rubbed the fist-shaped mark imprinted on his face.
"Sorry about that, but he was getting annoying." Jack told his friend Shelaunda before sitting back down, "Now, where were we?" "Well," the woman began, "we sat down with our bagels and stuff, then I told you that I like that we get to spend time together this much now, and then you punched Eddy into the middle of next week appearantly." "Oh, well, I'm glad we get to spend this time together as well," Jack blushing about punching the boy down the hall, "Yeah, we haven't spent time like this together ever since Shadow lost his body." "Well, at least he's not trying to get it back anymore, I feel so sorry that I left you and Masks alone to deal with him all those four years." Shelaunda told him sympathetically, "But I really wanted to travel the world before turning to my life of crime." "Ah, forget Masks," Jack told her laying his head down on her shoulder, "But he is real fun to annoy. I just don't get how he can eat and drink through that thing." "I just find it shocking that he actually used to be our teacher in collage." The blond haired woman told him.
Their discussion was suddenly interupted by an explosion that had come from the bar. Their stood the super villain bartender with his metal cylindrical hands glaring angrily down at a certain Mojojojo. His mouth was all wrapped in a white bandage and the red glowing eye gleemed through the hat into the monkey's horrified face. "Now then, green ape, you do not steal money from me! Next time I'm not gonna serve you anything." The bar tender told him before walking behind the counter to look at the place.
He bent down into the sink of dirty glasses and attached the bottom of one to his metal hand. The cups were all designed with special indentions for the for block-like formations on the end of the cylinders to fit into. Soap was poured on the cup, he dunked it under the clean side of the sink's water and his hand spun faster than a washing machine. The bartender then pulled it out, looked it over, and said, "perfect." The battle on the tvs raged on.
Robin manage to land one of his kicks right in Negaducks jaw as Man Ray spun around and punched the boy wonder. Father was throwing all his firepower at Raven which she simply deflected with a barrier and then smashed random objects into him from all sides. Starfire , Cyborg, and Beastboy took care of the others with their combined powers.
"Take this bolt-boy!" Gizmo sneered as he slapped a device onto Cyborg's chest causing him to short circuit. "Nicely done." The Card Master commented from the sidelines. Jinx was thrown across the room by one of Starfire's starbolts. "Might as well have some fun." The Card Master told itself and pulled out the plasma dragon card. The demonic monster appeared in the air and swallowed the alien girl whole. Robin leapt at the dragon which disappeared and instead implanted his figure into a wall.
Next to fall was Raven who jinx launched out the window. Beast Boy immediately ran over to where she had been and turned into a pteradactle. Man Ray shot a few lazers at the delicate creature and the dinosaur turned back into a boy who fell to the ground below with a cry. Last was Robin who had successfully beaten most of the villains and launched himself at the Card Master. "Boy, do not even try." It simply commanded and held up a card. The Kigiri swirled around the boy and he disappeared.
"Yeah!" Skulker cried with a slice of pizza in hand, "SUCCESS!" "Indeed." Zim agreed as he got up off the ground. "You all need to be better," the Card Master told the group, "Otherwise what the masters plan shall never be a reality." "You try taking people like that down!" Mammoth yelled. "I did…2 of them if you weren't looking," he replied holding up cards with Robin and Starfire on them, "We should take the robotic boy back with us as well for reprograming."
Mammoth went to pick up Cyborg and Man Ray took the rest of the pizza along. Meanwhile down below were the unconcious figures of Beast Boy and Raven on top of eacother hugging.
"Wahoo! What a show!" Jack exclaimed as the other various villains cheered at the first major victory. "Jack," Shelaunda said from her seat. "Yeah?" "Sit down, you'll need to save your energy for when they come back." She told him. "Oh, don't worry, all I need to do is just eat some o' this here candy and I'll be fit as a fiddle!" the scientist assured as he plopped back down and tore off the candy bar wrapper. Sploosh! The bar of sweetness melted in his fingers as his blonde collouge sprayed an acid gun at it and said, "No candy for you. We can't risk you going homicidal." "Aw!" Jack complained resting his head on her shoulder with a sympathetic face. "No." she announced and then went back to eating while Jack fell asleep upon her.
"Aw yeah! That's what I'm talking about!" Professor Scam exclaimed as he popped a party popper along with some other companions. Somehow the toilenator had made it past training and was scarfing down rainbow monkey cereal at the bar in excitement as his bill got higher and higher.
King Shadow was also checking up on progress and was a bit amused. He was happy to have come up with such a plan. Sure they could always send Jake and Amy to do the petty assignments, which they almost always failed at. Yes, he was sure it would work out now that he had gethered all these evil beings together from across the stars. It had to work! Nothing could stand in Shadow's way this time around!
"Yo! Shadow! When do they return?" Jack asked atop a large crowd. "Oh…um, in a few minutes." He replied. "In a few minutes! Outta my way people mad scientis coming through! I have to get down to the transport deck now!" the black haired man cried in desperation as he tried to make his way to the elevators. "That Jack, he hasn't changed a bit since I've known him." Shadow commented and sighed remembering all the times Jack had caused mischief in school.
(FLASHBACK)
"Jack and King! I can't believe this!" The principle cried in astonishment and pressed his hands on his desk piercing the young boys' eyes with his, "Especially from you King." "Shadow," the boy uttered his face turned to the ground. "What was that?" the man asked. "Shadow," the black haired boy which parted into two jester-like jolls repeated and explained, "The kids and myself call me by my last name. Calling me King infuriates some of them." "Why?" the principle asked tapping his middle claw anxiously on his desk. "He doesn't need to tell you! No rule no rule! You're dictatorship shall soon fall at the might of the mighty King!" Jack interrupted obviously in crazy mode.
"Security!" the object of authority cried in pain as the young scientist beat upon the man's head with all his might. Soon enough a pair of bullet proof armoured Silveronians entered and strapped down the insane child to a chair as Shadow's face grew red in embarresment. "No! I will find a way out of these accursed straps someday Black Men!" Jack hollered as they covered his mouth with masking tape. "Nevermind the question about your name I guess Kin-er Shadow!" the principle quickly corrected himself glancing at the struggling Jack whos eyes had changed colors, "But why did you two do it? I mean I can understand Jack sort of, but why would you put chemicals down a girl's shirt?" "Eh…Jack told me it would set off a reaction in her body making it so that she would fall into a state of sleep so that we could exam her for its effects. We would of course have to strip her of her clothes and check how hot all the parts of her body were so as not to let them melt to-" "I get the idea, this was going to be another one of Jack's pranks again wasn't it?" the man asked. "Yes sir it was." Shadow replied. "Well, Shelaunda will probably be having a discussion of sorts with you two after school for ruining her shirt. Good day to you both." "Well hello." Shelaunda greeted them grinning and angry, "Jack you, me, after school, the courtyard, fight!" "Uh oh, Jack, do you think you can take her?" Shadow asked doubtfully. "Don't worry old buddy, all you need to do is get me a candy bar." Jack replied happily. Shadow sighed.
(END FLASHBACK)
"I'm surprised how long Shelaunda was able to survive in the arena with hyper crazy Jack as her opponent." Shadow said to himself with his arms crossed. They had really used all the courtyard. Unfortunately while Jack had been in crazy mode Shelaunda had flipped him into a vending machine and had been covered in candy. That was the first time Shadow had seen the horrors and usefulness of Hyper Crazy Jack. He had nearly killed his current blonde friend that day tearing off nearly all her clothes and leaving her cut up and bruised along with a few other unfortunate students.
Dr. Jack Kite had finally made it through the bustling hordes of villains to the elevators and was currently decending quitely towards the interior of the meteor base the had made their base upon to greet the returning squad with their trophies. Just recently Jack and Shelaunda had finished up the designs on the Super Power Draining Machine (SPDM) which would drain all the powers of a super into a machine to be transferred to one being, preferably Jack, Masks, Shelaunda, or King Shadow making them near if not invincible.
Finally Jack had reached sublevel 8 and the door slid open with a hiss to the docking bay. The scientist stumbled onto a platform and stood up straight just as the criminals stepped out of a portal that had obviously been created by the vicious Card Master. The leader with the jester hat stepped forward with his deck of newly collected heroes and the cyborg.
"Excellent!" Jack exclaimed taking the prizes, "Now you all head back upstairs and enjoy yourselves!" The youngin's did as they were told and zipped up through the elevator. Jack put the cards and the robot man in some slots leading to the SPDM. He then headed down to sublevel 77 where Shadow had descended to.
"That was freakin awesome!" Doctor Eggman Robotnik exclaimed, "I mean I could have definitely taken on those teens but not like that!" "Indeed that was something," Vlad the phantom agreed with a sneer, "I can see why Shadow brought us all together now. And besides anyone who defies him now will have to go through all those loyal to him. That would be quite painful." "Ah, it was nothing Dok Ock, I just made an instant metallic fusion reactor extractor." Gizmo explained to the chubby man who listened closely.
"You're so full of yourself kiddo, to me and Jack that's child's play," Shelaunda sighed from her seat, "Especially Jack." "Oh yeah?" Gizmo yelled angrily. "Yeah, sure as heck is." "I bet I could beat you two at anything!" Gizmo exclaimed. The female scientist burst out laughing hysterically and fell to the floor. "Real funny!" she cried wiping a tear from her eye and then slashed the kid's body with her claws sending him to the ground, "Stupid baka."
"So what'll you be having?" the villain bar owner asked Jinx. "A vodka, and make it snappy!" the pink haired female snapped. "Sheesh, fine don't get all worked up!" "Hey," Mammoth said seating himself next to her looking around quickly and then saying, "I hope there's no monster tonight again!" "Monster?" the bar tender asked as he spun the drink around in his machine hands, "Oh yeah! I forgot, I was locked down in here all night and got to see all the action from in here, it was awesome!" "Man that was creepy!" Jinx announced as they walked out of the bar later and night had set. The bar tender locked himself up again and stood in behind the counter. There was a hiss and his special elevator lowered him down to his underground dwelling.
Meanwhile King Shadow and Jack were setting up for the new operation tonight: Operation Crazy Jack! "Remember," Shadow reminded his friend, "Eat the candy bar after you get up there and no hurting Jake and Amy we'll need them for another thing." "Yeah, yeah, got it!" Jack said cutting off his buddy and stuffing the bar of sweetness into his lab coat pocket eagerly, "I'll be upstairs!" With that Dr. Jack Kite ran towards the elevator and hit # 55, the main meeting/hang out room.
I hope everyone liked this chapter. I know it was probably a bit boring, but next up is Operation Crazy Jack. That means Jack's gonna have candy in his system at night. Oh boy, it'll be an adventure the villains will never forget!
