Titan Wars VI: Return of the Titans
Ch. 1: Arrivals
Not quite so long ago, in a place not very far away…
The Teen Titans have regrouped in order to rescue Robin from the European fortress of The Brain. However, the Brotherhood of Evil has been secretly constructing a base that will house a new weapon even more powerful than the particle beam that uses the dangerous substance xenothium. When the weapon is completed it will most likely spell doom for the Titans and their rebellion unless they can stop the Empire at the source once and for all.
A large ship sailed overhead in the sky as a smaller ship emerged from it and descended into the hidden base. See-More was at a station waiting for the code to enter.
"Okay," he said, "Your code checks out. Come on in."
"Better tell Gizmo that Terra's here," Mammoth said to Kwiz Kid, "He's gonna blow a gasket when he finds out."
The small ship landed as the Slade-bots and assorted teens gathered around to greet Terra. Three new recruits emerged first. The first was a large, muscular girl with a mask.
Her name was Rock for her ability to turn her fists into rock. The second was another skinny girl named Paper who could stretch herself out over anything and cover it.
The third was a short boy with a few ban-aids on his face. His name was Scissors for his talent to turn his fingers into sharp blades. They came out and lined up by the door as Terra stepped out for all to see. Just then Gizmo came flying up on his jet pack with the bat wings extended. He was, as the others expected, furious.
He quickly switched to his four mechanical legs and walked along with Terra.
"What's the idea coming here, Terra?" he questioned, "Everything's going they way it should. We don't need you supervising!"
"Please, Gizmo," she replied calmly, "Enough pleasantries. I'm here to get you back on schedule. Slade thinks you're taking too long."
"Well maybe he should send more troops to help!"
"Well perhaps you can tell him when he arrives."
Gizmo looked shocked, "He's coming here?"
"Yep, and he's not very happy about how long it's taking. He wants it done now."
"We'll double our efforts!"
"I hope so, Gizmo, for your sake. Slade's not as forgiving as I am."
With that, she walked away and left Gizmo shaking in his spot.
Elsewhere
In a dark alley in Paris, France, Cyborg and Fixit made their way through the twist and turns to get to Brain's hideout. Cyborg looked a bit nervous.
"You are not worried are you, Cyborg?" asked Fixit.
"Me? No, of course not. But if I was then so should you. Jinx and Kid Flash never came back. Brain may be a jar, but he's an evil wacko as well."
"It can't be that bad."
"Oh yeah? If I told you half the things I heard about The Brain, then you'd probably short circuit or pass out or something."
Despite the objections, the pair went on until they arrived at the gate to the Brain's fortress. Cy banged on the door.
"Well, looks like no one's home. Let's go!"
A panel slid open to reveal a pair of eyes. A deep French accented voice spoke up.
"What ees eet you want?"
"We need to see The Brain at once," explained Fixit.
"Why should he have to see you two?" questioned the Frenchie.
"We've got a message for him," challenged Cyborg.
"And a gift as well," added Fixit.
"We do?" Cy said with a confused look.
"Very well," the voice replied and the panel closed.
Then the gate slowly rose open and the pair of half machines went inside. As they proceeded, they ran into a couple of Slade-bots. Slade, in an attempt to keep Brain out of the way, sent over a few dozen Slade-bots to serve and guard him. From behind the cyborgs came a large hulking figure. It was Brain's right hand ape, Monsieur Mallah.
"Give this message to me," demanded Mallah.
"We will only give it to The Brain himself," replied Fixit.
"We're stubborn," added Cyborg with a smirk.
Mallah growled, but led them on with, "Come with me."
Atop a pedestal, in his skull marked vessel, sat Brain. Adonis was in one corner with Master of Games and Slade-bots were all around. Cy and Fixit stood in front of Brain as Mallah went to his side.
"What do you want?" asked Brain.
"Play the message, man," whispered Cy.
Fixit pulled out a hologram projector. It shot out an image of Beast Boy.
"Hello, Brain," BB's image said.
"Well if it isn't the former Doom Patrol mascot," taunted Brain.
"I know you think you're all that, so how about a deal? You give us back Robin and we won't do anything hasty. As a gift we give you these two half machines."
"Hey!" shouted Cyborg.
"They're both hard workers," continued the projection, "Until we meet then."
As it ended, Cyborg was ranting.
"They did not just do this to me! It's cause I'm part machine isn't it?"
"There will be no bargaining," stated Brain, "I much prefer Robin right where he is. You young heroes do not frighten me. Take these two away."
Mallah nodded and had a pair of Slade-bots push Cy and Fixit into another room. The two looked back and saw Robin still frozen in place against a wall. Their once proud leader was reduced to a mere statue.
