Once again I have taken a long time to update. (don't yell at me AstaOmega11 please!) I deeply apologize to everyone that's been patient and impatient, but these ideas don't come at me all of a sudden, I sometimes have to think it through to give you guys top quality FF here. Now, on to the story.

They arrived at the parlor and came out one by one. They turtles started to drool a bit, seeing that the parlor actually looks like a giant slice of pizza. The brothers took a big wiff in the air and recognized the scent immediately. "Oh man, how long has it been since our last bite?" Mikey asked is brothers. "Exactly 2 hours." Don calculated. "That's 2 hours too long." The Titans entered the parlor and were greeted with cheers by the people inside. The heroes waved and talked to the cashier who was a rather cute teen girl with brown hair in a pony tail and hazel eyes. "Well if isn't the Teen Titans, glad to have you back."

"Glad to be back." Cyborg said walking up to the girl. Her name was Jill, as it said on her name tag. Beast Boy ran in front of him and put an elbow on the counter and hand to his hip, acting quite nonchalant. "Hey baby, hope you didn't miss me too much?"

"Hello Beast Boy." Jill said rolling her eyes, obviously not phased by his charm. "C'mon Jill, when are your lips and mine gonna get better acquainted?" He asked this raising an eyebrow suggestively. Raven was quite mad at the last comment and in a fury, grabbed his ear and pulled extremely hard. "OW, Raven! Quit it. Stop! I was only kidding! OW."

"If you're going to embarrass yourself in public, please don't do it when I'm here." She continued to hold his ear and dragged him all the way to their usual table. The Titans laughed as Raven showed her "affection". Jill, on the other hand, was distracted. "Hey, you know those guys?" She pointed to the four turtles with their faces plastered on the glass door, eyes closed and smelling the sweet perfume of their favorite dish. Starfire went up to the door and just opened it. They all fell all over themselves while Starfire giggled. "Friends of yours?" She asked. "Oh yes they are our newly acquired friends." The turtles just stood up and looked around, unsure of what to do. They never have been into a public building before. Jill looked them up and down and started to wonder. "Are those your costumes?" She asked with a slight unsureness in her voice. "Uh no." Leo responded. "We were sorta born this way." Jill looked on with a blank stare and so did the turtles. "Well anyways, we should probably get to our table." Cyborg said, breaking the silence. They got two tables and pushed them closer to each other to sit closer to their new found friends. Soon enough a waiter appeared to take their order. "What'll you have?"

"Cheese"

"Meat Lovers!"

"Veggie"

"Pepperoni"

"Mustard"

Each of the Titans stared off at each other, this was the first time they all wanted something different, including Raven. Raven turned over to the Turtles. "You guys better order first, we're gonna take a while." She turned back and saw Beast Boy and Cyborg arguing once again. The waiter turned over to the turtles with a pen and paper ready to take anything. The Turtles all looked into the menu to look to see if anything appealed to them. At the same time they all put down their menus and said, "Everything." The waiter quickly wrote down the order and went toward the kitchen. He knew that the Titans would take a while to decide their order. About 15 minutes later the waiter came back with the Turtles order and found the Titans still arguing. He sighed and placed the dish in front of the Turtles. They looked at it a bit puzzled. Leo looked over to Mikey. "Mikey can you go get our condiments?" He nodded and headed out the door and into the car. He looked around a bit and found a small paper bag and went back to his brothers. He handed some chocolate sauce to Don, honey to Leo, Hot sauce to Raph and some maple syrup for himself. The Titans stared at the odd condiments and the choice of pizza they had. "Your not seriously gonna put that on your pizza right?" Robin asked to the Turtles. The Turtles looked back at the Titans and smiled as they each put two hands on their bottles and squirted every inch of their pizzas. (AN: I've never seen them eat or read about what kind of pizza they liked so I decided they like anything on a pizza, they are from New York) They each took a slice of the pizza and slowly inched them toward their hungry mouths. As everyone looked on, they wondered if the Turtles would actually do it then…

CHOMP!

The Turtles bit their pizzas at the same time. The Titans looked on, feeling a bit noxious. Suddenly, Starfire took out a bottle of mustard that she got from the car and walked over to the Turtles. "May I?" She asked politely. Leo handed her a piece. "You may." He answered back. She took a slice and splattered the mustard on her pizza and began to eat. "Mmmmmmmm…." She chewed happily along with the Turtles, the Titans began to feel even more sick. "I think I'm going to pass on the pizza." Raven said while her pale face was turning a slight green while jogging a bit to the girl's bathroom. Beast Boy and Cyborg ran to the bathroom as well, holding their mouths and torsos. Robin seemed unfazed by their odd choices of condiments and pizza. He walked over to the Turtles and Starfire and sat near Leo. "Hey Leonardo" He looked over to the masked leader."Yes what is it?" Robin got in closer, motioning Leo to do the same and he did. "Your martial art, its jujitsu right?" Leo cocked an eyebrow and wondered why he asked such a question. "Yes it is. Why did you ask that?" Robin gave off a smirk, hoping that Leo would catch his drift. It finally clicked in his head and smirked along with Robin. "You sure you want to?" Robin and Leo's faces were inches away from each other with fire in their eyes and the same smirk they had on the first time they put it on. Starfire and the other turtles looked on at the phenomenon before them. The two were standing, glaring each other down. Leo didn't even finish his honey smothered pizza. The turtles knew what was about to come but poor Starfire was left out and was bewildered as to what Leo and Robin was going through their minds. As soon as the others were back Robin greeted them and told them they were leaving. "But we didn't even get out pizza." Whined Cyborg and Beast Boy. "Just get some at home." Robin stepped out the door leaving the Titans in confusion. They went over to Starfire and asked what happened during their time of absence. She told them what she saw. Raven held her head with her hand and walked out mumbling something. "Star, are you sure that's what happened?" Starfire nodded. "Yes, they looked at each other as fierce as enemies but smiled like friends, could you explain, is this an earthly custom?" Cyborg looked at Beast Boy and Beast Boy to him and smiled with excitement. They ran towards the car leaving Starfire in the shadows.

Soon, they were back on the island. They all headed to the "back yard" of the Titans island and toward the training area. They moved to the obstacle course, and then Cyborg went up to the computer console. He pushed and held the power button until a green light blinked on, confirming that it was activated. "Please insert password and hand signature please." Cyborg typed in "TINMAN" as the password and placed his hand on the screen. "Hello Victor, How may I help you today?" A woman's voice was heard, clearly in her early 20's. Her face appeared on screen but not of a human woman. Her face looked electronic with buzzing numbers passing through her transparent face. "We got a special event happening today Sheila." Sheila's face disappeared from the screen and her slender frame appeared upon a hologram orb that Cyborg built to give a more realistic feel of a computer program having a conversation with you. She was no taller than six inches with tinted light blue glow. A small rotating crystal floated next to her. "What kind of event? Another silly contest of Dick's? Surely he's already proven himself as leader already." Cyborg specially designed Sheila an AI that gives her the ability to talk to people like a real person. "You can say that." Cyborg ran his fingers across the keyboard with ease and began initiating commands to Sheila. "Commencing program "RING"…Transmitting arena…Prefacing area nodes to prevent falls…Transferring sidelines…" The ground began to erupt and to obstacle course sank into the ground leaving a cloud of dust. When the dust cleared, a 50X50 yard long arena could be seen; along with it were a set of stands of three rows. Robin had this installed to hold martial arts training, in case the others powers were disabled. "Sheila, give me a tune…a beat that pumps up the blood you know." Sheila's color started to hum and buzz, searching for a file containing Cyborg's music. She looked far the specific tune Cyborg requested and found one. "How's this?" The name of the song appeared on the screen. He nodded in approval and walked toward the stands. "Okay dudes and dudettes, we here at Titan's Tower here proud to present a once in a life time event!" Beastboy ran up into the middle of the ring holding a microphone. "You, the select few, are in for a real treat." He spun and pointed his hand toward Robin who was sitting on a stool in a corner with Cyborg , sporting a dark grey skull cap and a towel slung over his shoulder. "In this corner, weighing in about 176 pounds, wearing a bad ass karate gi, the Boy Wonder, Robin!" Starfire jumped the minute Robin's name was called. "Hurray! Go Robin! I hope for your victory!" Raven, sitting next to her waved her finger around, wore a frown. "Yay" Cyborg started to whisper in his ear. "You can take him Robin! He's a bum!" Robin was getting a little anxious and irritated. "Yeah, yeah cut the Rocky impressions and get this thing started, will yah?" Cyborg was caught off guard for moment but quickly regained his posture.

"Well someone's got their tights in a knot."

"Look, I just want to start alright?"

"You sure It's not just impress Star?"

"What do you think?"

"I think you should just ask her out on a date."

"WHAT? Not that! I mean Leonardo!"

"You wanna ask him out on a date?"

"NO! Argh! Just go to the stands would you?"

With that, Cyborg left with a sense of satisfaction and a smile on his face, but started to worry upon some thoughts. Messing around with Robin was very rare among the Titans. It's easy when it comes to Starfire, but he often never speaks of it. Cyborg realized how brutal Robin can be in a fight and how tactical he can be with his moves. Starfires heart just amplifies his will to win to a whole new level. He'll just have to sit back and watch if Leo is up for an empowered onslaught. Beast Boy had long been off the ring and Mikey soon took the mike. "Now, in this corner, weighing in at about 260 pounds, he says it's his shell but I say he's getting fat…" A small pebble hit Mikey's head, leaving a small bump. When he turned he saw Leo tossing up and down another small pebble with a sour face. "Get on with it." He mumbled. "…a guy that can't take a joke, Leonardo." Raph and Don cheered on their brother sitting next to the Titans. Leo and Robin sat there in their corners just staring at each other. Their arms crossed, eyes focused upon their soon to be opponent, analyzing whatever strengths or weaknesses they could find. The tension was soon cut by Sheila arriving in the ring. "The rules will now be announced; both combatants will follow these rules or else be disqualified. Are you both ready?" Both of them nodded. Sheila dipped her hand inside the crystal and two small screens appeared in front of Leo and Robin and another bigger screen in front of the stands. The rules were shown in purple text…

RULE 1: NO WEAPONS WILL BE ALLOWED DURING THE FIGHT

RULE 2: NO LOW BLOWS

RULE 3: BOTH COMBATANTS MUST REMOVE ANY HIDDEN WEAPONRY OR ELSE THEY WILL BE DISQUALIFIED. (A SCAN WILL BE IMPLEMENTED)

RULE 4: ALL OUTSIDE INTERFEARENCE WILL BE DISCOURAGED AND DISABLED DURING THE FIGHT.

RULE 5: THE FIGHT WILL CONTINUE UNTIL EITHER OF THE OPPONENTS IS UNABLE TO CONTINUE OR RENOUNCE THEIR POSITION.

The Titans and the Turtles looked closely at the 5th rule. They know their fighter will never say they'll give up. So they're going to be here for a long, very brutal, very violent fight. "Hope your boy's up for a mean brawl." Cyborg blurted out. "Don't you worry your shiny metal head, Leo's built tough, real tough." Raph countered. "Pssh, bet Leo goes down in the first 5 minutes, 10 tops." Beast boy declared his trust in his leader. "Please would both fighters come to the middle of the ring for their body scan." Robin and Leo approached the center of the square circle as 2 disks of light surrounded them and slowly went up and down upon their figures. "Scan Commencing…Robin?" Sheila looked toward Robin. "Would you please remove your retractable staff please?" Robin just smirked at Leo and shrugged. He reached for his staff that was safely tucked away in between the knot of his belt and his gi. He tossed it aside out of the ring. "Leo, would you please remove your shurukin please?" Leo followed Robin's expression and obtained his concealed weapon in his belt and threw it at a nearby tree which it landed with a satisfactory thuck in the tree bark. "Now that the fighters are within bounds of the rules, I will begin the fight as soon as I signal you." Leo and Robin stood there eye to eye not saying a word. Standing as if they were the only ones in existence. The others were but mere shadows in the dark.

"We will begin in…5"

The two fighters stand, waiting for the final call to be made. The others looked on in a helpless state of excitement and fear for the upcoming events. The environment seemed to have changed around them. A more serious air loomed over the ring. Robin started to crack his knuckles in anticipation. Leo was busy doing last minute stretches.

"…4…"

A song opened in Cyborg's head. A random fight song from his favorite video game started to play and he started to bob his head a little to the track. Watching doesn't seem as entertaining without a good fight song to go with it.

"…3…"

Raph and Beast Boy continued the argument between the bet's they've made and the statistics of the fighters. Mikey suddenly yawned and started talking to Raven who didn't respond as he had hoped so he told a joke. Raven obviously annoyed, levitated Mikey away from her and sat him next to Cyborg.

"…2…"

Starfire began to worry and began to bite on her nails. "Oh, I wish that no one will get hurt too severely!" she cried. "Don't worry Starfire, I know my brother, he's not going to go all out on Robin, I mean, It's a just a spar fight right?" Donnie put in his opinion. This only made Starfire more paranoid than before. Donnie consolingly put his hand on her shoulder and started writhing in pain when she quickly grabbed his hand in her vice like grip out of worry of her friends.

"…1…"

Robin and Leo soon took their seigan no kamae. Concentrating on their enemy's stance to see how and when he will strike. Robin tried to focus upon Leo's stance but couldn't trace it where it came from. It then clicked in his head and started to smile. "Well this should be entertaining." Robin soon made his favorite stance of Jujitsu, The Ude Ate.

Leo noticed the stance and prepared himself.

"…GO!"

The bell rang and the fight started. No one moved. The two fighters stood there without moving in or out of the stances and waited. The audience looked on wondering who will strike first. Then, they both moved at the same time, Leo to the left and Robin to the right. Both of them making small steps and locking their eyes upon one another. Robin soon lunged at Leo with his finger tips directly pointed and fired at Leo. He dodged and shifted his feet toward Robin and punched directly into his mid section and quickly jumped and used both of his heels to knock him into the invisible wall of the ring. Leo regained his posture and let Robin get back to his feet. Robin gave a quick chuckle to himself and regained his Ude Ate stance. "Very nice Leo, I never fought someone who knew Shinden Fudo Ryu." Leo smiled a bit but this left the Titans a little confused. "Shinko fuwhat now?" Beast Boy obviously confused. "It means 'School of the Immoveable Heart'" Everyone looked to their left and saw the seriousness of the look on Donnie's face. "It's a type of fighting style that the ninja use. It's a very complicated style since there is no direct stance. The fighter creates their own defensive stance with their imagination. The basic of the fighting style is to empower your strikes with movements." All the other turtles looked just as serious although Donnie was holding his hand after Starfire let go. 'Leo doesn't go into this style until he knows he's in for a long fight like with Raph' Donnie thought, 'Why is he getting so serious so early, I wonder…' the turtles silence seemed to have shocked the Titans. 'Leo must really think this guy is real tough' Raph started to twitch and his foot started to jump. 'Man, why does Leo always get the good fights?'

"How do you 'empower your strikes?" Beast Boy asked. Donnie pointed to the fighters. While the conversation was going on, they resumed the fight. "Normally, when you punch or kick, it just leaves a mark but when you take a step you can focus that force and channel it through your strike. Simple kinetic energy." Donnie simply put it. "Oh, like someone throwing a rock or something." Beast boy simplified it. Raven quickly gave him a punch on the arm. "OW! What was that for?" She pointed to Raph who was rubbing the back of his head. "Oh…my bad."

Leo and Robin looked like two dancers in a ballet. Each taking their step in the others style, making sure they could follow up. All the punches and kicks was placed so specifically that you would think that they had rehearsed it for years. The square ring turned into a dance hall and their observers into other dancers taking their own steps. Leo moved his steps inch by inch to increase his blows while Robin nimbly dodged and countered with a few blows and a final throw. But, Leo would always land on his feet unfazed and continue his onslaught.

And that's enough for this chapter. Trust me, the next one's going to have a lot more action. A LOT! And maybe even some more romance…hee hee. But I'm not saying who. You got's to wait ad find out! Well, till next chapter, see ya!
