With a boulder overhead, Amara leapt into the fray, enraged. How dare that jar-head call her a pawn? She hurled the boulder at his ape.
"Come on, Kong, let's see you take THIS pawn!"
The ape leapt at her, caught the boulder and threw it back at her. She caught it and slammed it into the monkey before he got a chance to hit her, and whipped the boulder around and hurled it at the geezer. A look of death in her eyes, Amara leapt at the woman and grabbed at her. The woman stretched out of the way and pinned Amara down.
"We have her, Brain, should we freeze her now?"
"A good idea, Madame," came the monotone voice, "Do it."
The woman stretched one arm around Amara's and grabbed a canister from off of the shelf. Bringing it back, she picked up Amara and put her in. She then put Amara on the conveyor belt and away Amara went.
"Do you have any last words, girl?" asked Brain.
"I don't think so." With that, Amara kicked a hole in the container and leapt out.
"I thought they were indestructible, Madame," Brain said with a scowl on the electric screen.
"I did too!"
"Well, you weren't testing on Amara the Enraged, now were you?" Amara said, hefting another boulder above her head.
"Turn on the quantum generator!" commanded Brain. Madame Rouge stretched out to turn it on, but when she hit the button, all that came was a quack.
"I don't remember having that in," said Brain.
"Nope, because you don't remember ever turning it on without this," Amara said, flicking out a Triple-A battery.
"It's run on Triple-A?" asked Brain.
"Yep. Your power-cell is useless in your quantum generator. You need this rarest of batteries to get it to work."
"Damn," said the Brain. "Well, no matter, I'll just take it from you." The Brain grabbed the battery telekinetically, but Amara held on. She was overpowered, but she didn't let that stop her. Clutching for dear-life, Amara was dragged in with the battery. With a kick to the screen, Brain lost concentration, and the battery flicked into the liquid nitrogen.
"There goes your Quantum Generator," chuckled Amara as she turned around.
"We must get a Triple-A battery. Fortunately, they sell them in just about every gas station," mused Monsieur Mallah as he got back up.
"True," said Amara, "But I work in a gas station. The only two of you who wouldn't look suspicious aren't allowed in one since your little gas raid."
"Damn," said Madame Rouge, "I forgot about that."
"And for…hang on, getting a call."
Amara whipped out her cell-phone.
"Hello? No, I don't. What? Oh, fine. Tell Diego I said hi. Who? Never heard of him. The Great Dragon? Sheesh. I never took you for the kind to believe in dragons. Oh. Whatever. How's Deb? Good. Well, I'll talk to you later, I'm kinda busy right now. No, it's that stretchy broad with a desperate need to get on Swan. Okay. Later."
Amara hung up.
"Swan? I look much too good to be on that show!" shouted Madame Rouge, enraged. "And since when am I a broad?"
"You're freaking hideous and ancient, a broad."
"I never!"
"And now, you old cow, I'm leaving. I have work to do elsewhere." Amara walked out the door, an obviously enraged Madame Rouge glaring out the door.
"Way to capture the pawn, Brain!" shouted Madame Rouge. "She's completely unharmed, and what's more, she's beaten all of us!"
"Maybe I was wrong to class her as just another pawn. Perhaps she'd make a better Queen."
"Madame Rouge, Brain, you'll want to see this," said Monsieur Mallah, gazing at the floor. The two came out. On the floor were…
RED BISHOP TO E5.
"I've never heard of red chess pieces."
"Perhaps it's a fluke?" asked Madame Rouge.
"No, no," said Monsieur Mallah, "It's not just the Titans and Doom Patrol we need to look out for, though this set may do our work for us."
Yeah, that's right. A "Season 6" is in the works here. As I planned. That stupid chess analogy is back. This entire story has three real reasons, to create a "Season 6," to introduce some characters, and to put some more background on each of the main 6 Titans (i.e., Titans West and Terra) and create a background for Aqualad, Mammoth, and Red-X. It's kinda like Season 5, but now there's actual goodness to it (as in, I'm totally making fun of it.) It's got a lot to do with the Brotherhood, Trigon, and its key four characters, Raven, Beastboy, Mammoth, and Slade.
Until next time…
