Okay! Now this is an alternate universe. Starfire never came to earth to learn about earth's culture (I think that's why she came) but the teen titans still exist. They still have titans east, and honorary titans too. So basically what goes down is Robin, alias Richard 'Dick' Grayson, gets a call from Bruce. Bruce tells him that they need him and all the titans help in helping fight a war between two planets. He explains to him that Superman had been contacted by the planet in need of aid, Tamaran, and feels he owes it to them to help them, since they had helped Krypton in a war many, many, many years ago. So Robin agrees and they go to Tamaran to meet and talk about what they have to do. Now Princess Kom'ander and Prince Ry'ander have been taken captive by the Gordanians, who the Tamaranians are at war with, and the Grand Ruler of Tamaran had left a few days earlier with a team of Tamaranian warriors to go find them. So the titans and the justice league split up. Most of the justice league and Titans stay to plan and go fight, but Bruce gives the Teen Titans the job of searching for the Grand Ruler of Tamaran. During their journey they are attacked by a small group of Gordanian battle ships, so Robin gives the order to separate and fight. Robin takes a hit and crash-lands on the supposed planet that the Grand Ruler last contacted from. So Robin's ship is in need of repairs, but since he can't do much he decides to go searching for the missing Grand Ruler, but the Grand Ruler finds him and attacks, thinking he's an enemy. Thus they get off on the wrong foot and can't stand each other and bicker constantly, even though the Grand Ruler finds Robin undeniably attractive and Robin like wise. But despite that factor, Grand Ruler Kori'ander and Richard 'Dick' Grayson don't see eye to eye, but hey, who's to say things won't change?
Inside the main room of the ever famous "T" many animated sounds and childish taunting was occurring, not that that wasn't normal or anything…
"Ha! Take that ya little grass stain. Make ya think twice before challenging me!"
"You just wait you piece of scrap metal! I'll come out first in the end!"
"You know, you always say that, but ya never do Gar," the robot hybrid smirked.
The green changeling was about to retort when an alarm went off and a red light flashed throughout the tower. Within moments, the last two members of the team where in the room and in front of the big screen. Robin, the leader of the Teen Titans pushed a button and the screen focused on the person. Robin scowled.
"Whoa! Batman, how's it hangin'!" Gar, a.k.a. Beastboy greeted.
The Caped Crusader put on a small smile, but said nothing. Robin turned to his team, "Cyborg, Raven, Beastboy, you're dismissed."
"But dude! If The Batman is calling us, there must be trouble—
"Do as I say," Robin shot with a cold tone. Beastboy quickly rushed out of the room, the other two following closely behind. When the doors shut behind them Robin turned back to the screen and glared through his mask, "What do you want?"
Batman gave Robin a cold stare, "quit being a little ass, Dick, this is an important matter."
Robin's face dropped the angry stare and put on his serious face, "What is it?"
"Superman received a distress call from the planet Tamaran, asking for assistance. I'll play the tape for you," he pushed a button and the screen switched to the face of a large man, with orange tinted skin, a long shaggy red hair and beard, with pale green eyes.
"…Grand Ruler of Tamaran, and my name is Galfor. I contact you, Kalel, for help. Our planet is under attack by the Gordanians, a great enemy of ours and they are planning a hostile take over of our planet. We know we cannot win, but we have located a planet far away from them, that we may inhabit, but we do not have enough soldiers to hold them off and allow us time to get out. We ask for you help because we had aided your planet greatly long ago. We have no other hope but you Kalel. Our Princess and Prince have been captured by the Gordanians, and this is a second time for the princess of being in their possession and she almost did not survive the first. Please Kalel, you're our…" the tape cut off and went blank and a second later Batman returned to the screen.
"Wow, sounds like they could use all the help they can get," Robin stated matter-of-fact.
"They do, so the Justice League is going to aid the Tamaranians, and I called you so that you could gather all the titans to help."
Robin nodded, "Of course, I'll get right on it!"
"Thank you Dick, I'll send you the coordinates. Leave by tomorrow."
"It'll be first thing in the morning."
"We're gonna die," Beastboy whined in his pod of the T-ship.
Raven rolled her eyes, "if you have an attitude like that, you will."
"No one's going to die," Robin affirmed, "Look Beastboy, we're the good guys. The good guys never die," Robin said, hoping to cheer (and shut) up his teammate. It seemed to have worked and for the rest of the way he was fairly quiet. They reached the given coordinates and saw a white and magenta streaked planet. It looked peaceful and beautiful enough on the outside, but looks were deceiving. As they came through the atmosphere they saw a barren wasteland, and all that remained was a small tower of a community, that was almost in ruins. They landed the ship and saw that the Justice League was there, and Titans East as well. There were some of the honorary titans, but the rest hadn't gotten there yet. Robin went and greeted his long time friend, Speedy and shook hands with him, "Speedy, good to see you."
"Yah, too bad it's not under such great circumstances."
Superman walked over to the two, "Galfor will be meeting with us soon. But he's asked for a small team to go out as a search party. You up to it?"
"Sure, we'll do whatever we can."
The large doors opened and a giant man, whom upon closer observations proved to be Galfor, walked out to the large group of super heroes, "Many greetings and thank yous to you all! We cannot express how grateful we are to you for aiding us! And though I know it's short notice, but I believe there is a small team that will be going out as a search party?"
Robin stepped forward, "Yes, that would be my team and I."
The large man smiled at the boy, "I thank you young one. I'll give you the map that will lead you to the planet where The Grand Ruler's ship was crashed—
"Um, excuse me for interrupting but…aren't you the Grand Ruler?" Robin asked.
Galfor let out a hearty laugh, "No! I'm the Right Hand to the Grand Ruler."
Robin's cheeks reddened, "Oh, um well where was the Grand Ruler headed for?"
"To rescue our Prince and Princess."
"Oh, I see. Is the Grand Ruler the only survivor?"
"It was an outnumbered attack, and the Grand Ruler's ship went down. It's the only one that survived."
"Alright, well hand us the map, and we'll be on our way, sir."
"Oh wait!" Galfor handed the four an earpiece, "This will allow you to understand Tamaranians."
"Then how come we understand you just fine?" Beastboy asked.
"Because I was also an ambassador of Tamaran, long before I was the right hand. I know many dialects."
"Oh," was all Beastboy said.
The T-ship made it's way to a purple planet when Raven spoke up, "Robin, we have company. At least twenty ships, and they aren't Tamaranians."
No sooner had she told him this, were they shot at. Robin yelled out, "Titans! Separate!"
The four split off and managed to take care of eight ships, but it wasn't getting easier. Cyborg radioed out through his speaker, "Robin! We'll distract them! Lead them away or something! You get on that planet and find the Grand Ruler! We'll be fine! Try and let yourself get hit!"
"Are you crazy! Then me and the Grand Ruler will be stranded!"
"Not necessarily! Each ship has a repair kit in it! And you could use scrap metal from the Grand Ruler's ship if you really need to! Trust me, my ship is a lot more stronger then you think!"
Robin was hesitant before he gave the okay. He managed to get hit on the side and dove towards the planet. His team distracted and fought the Gordanians and he prayed this wouldn't be the last time he saw them.
