WeaselChick: Uh...It's a little late, I know. My excuse? Naruto. I blame Naruto. And Yugioh. Stupid shows. Anyway, here's the next chapter and it's a lot more actiony...I doubt that's a word, but oh well.

Red X paused in front of one the busted windows and glanced at a clock installed in the wall. Damn pizza company! he thought angrily, destroying the clock with an X. I'm tired of waiting! (The Titans delay had lasted at least 10 minutes.) He gazed down at the Titans and his team members fighting and reached for the X on his belt. Maybe fighting them will take my mind off of food, he though as he disappeared. He reappeared in the middle of the battle, and began to look around for someone he could fight, only to be knocked forward by one of Terra's stray rocks. He flew through the air, miraciously missing all of the flying weapons, and fell into Raven.

"Why do you always end up on top of me?" Raven growled, narrowing her eyes.

Red X pushed himself up on his hands. "I don't know," he replied, shrugging. "But I have to admit, I rather like the scenery."

Raven snarled and kicked him off of her, combining her own strength with her powers to throw himto the brink of the rock slab. "That was a little too close," Red X remarked, skidding to stop about two inches from the edge. He looked back up to see Raven flying at him, her hands enveloped in black magic. "Damn!" He ducked and swerved, bringing one of his legs up and connecting with Raven, throwing her backwards to the ground. "When will you Titans learn?" he said, shooting an X at Raven. "You can't beat me." He turned away as the X expanded and covered her waist, pinning her arms to her sides and limiting her mobility. Then he ducked again as a rock tore through the air and crashed into the rock wall behind him. "Terra! Watch where you flinging those damn rocks!"

"It's not me!" Terra shouted, another rock shooting across the rock from her powers. "I think Slade's doing it!"

Red X looked down at Raven struggling in the X, at the other Titans fighting, and then pressed the button on his belt and appeared beside Thorn. "Uh, Thorn," he said over the clash of Thorn's sword against the claws of the tiger form of Beast Boy. "I've got a bit of bad news for you. Terra thinks Slade is screwing around with her powers."

"Then do me a favor and go stop him," Thorn ordered calmly, defending himself against another one of Beast Boy's attacks.

Red X shrugged and reached down to press the button again, but a slab of stone ripped up from the ground and flew rapidly at him. He yanked his hand out of the way as it flew up, then jumped back to avoid it as it moved forward. The stone picked up speed, coming swiftly at him. Red X leaped, at the last second, and landed on top of it. Now it's just a matter of balance, he thought. I can do this, no prob.

Rorek fired up shield after shield as Jinx fired hex after hex at him. "You know," he said to her between shields. "I really don't want to hurt you...I guess it's because my mother always told me that I'm supposed to - Woah!" One of Jinx's hexes blinked out of sight nearly one-half inch away from him.

"You're too much of a gentlemen," Jinx said in disgust. "Go ahead and fight me like a man!" She sneered and fired another hex at him, which he instantly blocked. Only this time, she didn't get out of the way in time and it hit her. She stumbled backwards, tripped over a rock, and landed hard on the ground, hitting her head on another rock and knocking herself unconscious.

"Dude," Rorek muttered, looking down at her. "That is such a lame way to win a fight...Even I was hoping for a better one! And I don't even like fights!" He sighed and looked around the room, trying to spy another way out besides the building Thorn was standing in front of. "Ah ha!" he exclaimed, realizing that the stairs that led into the tunnel was right beside him. He turned and jogged up the steps, hoping to get out of the battle and into somewhere where he could sleep. I never did get my twelve hours...he thought miserably.

Robin glared at Gizmo as he flew around him on metal wings. "I'm up against you?" Gizmo had remarked when he saw that Robin was the only Titan without an opponent. "This'll be way easy!" It wasn't as easy as Gizmo had said, but it certainly wasn't the hardest fight Robin had ever been in. He kept his eyes on Gizmo, and backflipped when he fired missiles at him.

Robin landed beside Raven, who was still struggling to release herself from Red X's weapon. He kneeled down beside her, whipped out a birdarang, and sawed at the X until it snapped.

"Thanks, Robin," Raven said, flying away frow him and towards where Red X was.

Robin turned back to Gizmo, leapt to avoid more missiles, and threw his weapon at him.

Raven aimed herself straight at Red X, planning to knock him off of the rock he was currently standing on, but when she reached him, the rock stopped its shaking for a moment. She reached forward with her magic, formed into the shape of a hand, and unlatched Red X's belt. As she did, she released more power and hit him with that just as the rock tossed him backwards. He flew through the air, through one of the unbroken windows on the building and slid across the floor to the wall. Raven attached the belt around her waist and followed him in.
Below them, Dayna, watching Thorn and Beast Boy fight, was suddenly coated in shards of glass. "Oh, this is wonderful," she said to herself sardonically. "I've always wanted to be covered in broken glass while watching two guys fight inwhat seems like ato the death battlein front of me." She sighed, then focused upon the fight in front of her.

Thorn had heard the glass break and his head to see what had happened. He watched as Raven knocked Red X into the building, possibly knocking him unconscious, and narrowed his eyes. I'm going to kill Slade, he promised himself. His grip on his sword tightened and, fueled on anger, he swung it in an arch that nearly cut Beast Boy in half. Right after I'm finished with him!

Perhaps Thorn making the fight more fierce while he was angry wasn't the best thing for him to do. Beast Boy used this to his advantage and turned into a gnat. Thorn hadn't been expecting this, he really hadn't been expecting anything for his mind wasn't clear enough for him to think, and he had to pause his sword swinging to listen for sounds of it. By the time he heard it, Beast Boy had already changed into a raptor. He reached forward with his jaws, picked Thorn up by one leg, and bit down. The bone cracked, and Beast Boy tossed him away, disgusted at himself for breaking his leg, and Thorn flew over the edge.

Dayna watched him fall with mixed feelings. She was happy for Beast Boy for defeating Thorn, but also felt a pang of sadness for Thorn. Thorn...
