Woot, two chapters in one day!
Still got writer's block for DITL, but don't worry, since I'm on break and virtually have no plans as of right now, I should get some chapters up soon. :)
So...yeah. A lot like Final Exam, as it should be, but I changed it around.
Disclaimer: Do I really need to say? e-e;
"I'm telling you, I'm not touching any meat! I'm on a diet! Besides, how would you feel if people wanted to eat you?"
"Oh, get over it. You don't need to diet. Look at you, you're like a twig."
Beast Girl, so very maturely, stuck out her tongue and folded her arms.
"I suggest we have a pizza with mustard, pickles, and the butter of peanuts!" Blaze suggested.
The rest of the team gave her a disbelieving blink and fell over in their seats.
"Techna to Hexus; begin phase one."
The tall boy nodded, sending an arm in the direction of a bus. He was slender but muscular, with pale gray skin and bright pink hair. The hair was tied in two bands that resembled devil's horns, with two sideburns trailing down the sides of his face. And don't let him hear you if you decide to make a comment on his hair; 'cause he'll track you down and personally make life miserable for you. His eyes', also pink, pupils slit like a cat's.
He was clothed simply, in a sleek black shirt that was torn at the ends, purposely, with pants that gave a similar effect. He wore plain blue shoes with a small rise.
The bus began to roll down the hill, headed straight for a little girl crossing the street. She was small, with jet black hair that stopped just below her hair, decorated with yellow clips to match her yellow dress and clack shoes. Had her back not been to the Titans, they would've seen the girl's somewhat evil smirk.
She let out a girly scream and pointed at the bus.
Robyn's head snapped up immediately at the scream and wasted no time in jumping out of her seat with a, "Titans, GO!"
"Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos!" Revan yelled, sending his arms in the direction of the bus. The bus was immediately encased in black light. He closed his fists and gave a small cry as he struggled to stop the bus.
Bionica jumped in front of the bus and used her enhanced strength to push it to a halt. With the combined power of Revan and Bionica, the bus came to a quick stop.
When the rest of the titans turned to the cross walk, the girl was gone.
Beast Girl put her hands on her hips. "Don't buses usually have passengers; drivers at least?"
"Where'd the girl go?" Robyn asked, glancing around the area.
"Over here…" The girl could faintly be seen in an alley, feigning fear.
"Please, small one, everything is okay, now," Blaze coaxed, stepping close to the girl.
She immediately switched expressions, now looking completely deranged. She pulled at the dress, as if to pull off a disguise, but nothing happened. She tugged harder.
"Stupid dress!" When she succeeded in taking off the costume, a green jumpsuit appeared underneath. The bows were gone from her hair, and a mechanical looking backpack now rested on her back.
Beast Girl let out a small gasp as the girl pressed a button. Four spider legs immediately sprouted from her backpack, making her grow seven feet at the least.
"What the—" Bionica started, backing away. She stopped when she had backed into something big. She whipped around and looked up to see a mean looking girl with orange hair and a bulky figure.
"Going somewhere?" She taunted, pushing Bionica to the ground.
"Just getting started." She smirked, shifting her gears in her hand so it now looked like a cannon. But she didn't have time to fire. While the larger girl was holding her still, the short girl appeared behind her and slapped a gadget onto her back.
The device began to change. It grew more elongated, and a small pipe resembling an exhaust pipe spurted out the back. It coughed up a flame and thrust Bionica into the air.
"AHH!" She screamed, flailing around in the sky like a crashing airplane. Blaze looked up to see Bionica being hurled in the direction of Gotham City. Without a second thought, he jumped into the air and flew in her direction, leaving Beast Girl, Revan, and Robyn to finish off the three.
"Who are you?" Revan asked, monotone as always.
The pink-haired boy stepped in front of the two girls, looking smug. "We're the HIVE. And we're taking you down."
"That's what you think!" Beast Girl shouted, morphing into a cheetah. She took off in a jog, headed straight for Hexus.
He clicked disapprovingly. "Bad kitty."
With that, he sent out a wave of pink lines. Upon contact with the ground, the concrete flew up in a pile of rubble, sending Beast Girl into the air. She landed on her leg. She gave a small cry and rubbed it, but got up immediately and ran towards Hexus again.
Revan chanted his mantra, enveloping the small girl, Techna, in the familiar black light. She yelped and flailed her legs wildly. "Tink!" She cried.
The red-head stopped her combat with Robyn and head butted Revan to the ground.
Hexus was beginning to grow annoyed. "Let's finish this," He commanded, waving his hand in the direction of the three titans. Tink, at the last minute, stomped hard on the ground, making it collapse. The trio each gave their own unique yell as they were submerged into the darkness.
Hours later, Revan and Beast Girl stumbled through the entrance. Revan slung his arm around Beast Girl's shoulder for balance as she limped to one of the seats.
Placing a hand on her leg, scraped and bloody, it glowed blue. The wounds disappeared. She gave him a smile.
"Thanks."
He nodded, standing up.
"Did…that really happen?" Beast Girl asked after a few minutes. He nodded again.
"Whether we like it or not, it did."
She sighed as the main door opened, letting in a white light.
Blazefire and Bionica entered, both looking sore.
Bionica forced a meek smile, plopping down into one of the chairs.
"I was already halfway to Gotham before Blaze caught up with me. So how'd it go? How bad we whup 'em?" She asked, now smirking.
FLASHBACK
"Beast Girl? Beast Girl, where are you?" Revan called, treading through the murky water. "This isn't funny, Beast Girl."
As his eyes slowly adjusted to the light, he began to make out a lone silhouette lying in the barely ankle-length water. It was Beast Girl, knocked unconscious. Her lip and leg were bleeding.
He rushed towards her, helping her up. Her legs wobbled and she nearly fell back into the water; he caught her.
Slowly, her green lashes fluttered open. "Wha—?"
He hushed her and continued down the tunnel silently. He would've levitated or flown, but his energy was drained and he didn't want to push himself. He gave a glance to the weary-eyed pretty girl leaning on his shoulder. She smiled weakly.
"Revan…where's Robyn?"
He said nothing.
END FLASHBACK
Both Revan and Beast Girl's eyes diverted to the ground.
"Well? C'mon, I want the details."
They said nothing.
Blaze looked around the room. "Where is Robyn?"
"We don't know," Beast Girl said finally.
Blaze's eyes glowed lime green. "What? We need to find her; now!"
"Easy, Blaze. C'mon, you know how Robyn is. She'll come walking through any second—"
The doors began to open, slowly.
"What…?" Bionica stammered as the HIVE casually strolled into the Tower.
"Ohh, my head…" Beast Girl put a hand to her head to steady herself.
"Shut up," Bionica spat, throwing a rock in the water.
"Hey! What's your deal?"
"Gee, I don't know. Maybe because someone hacked into MY tower, my arm is gone, and we are now, officially, royally screwed!"
FLASHBACK
Panting, Bionica leaned against a wall, just barely glancing around the corner. She breathed a sigh of relief, only to turn her head to Techna.
"Looking for me?"
Still out of breath, Bionica lurched at the girl, only to fly through her and land into the other wall. She ran a mechanical hand through the girl. The image blurred, and then regained itself once the hand was removed.
The smaller girl's laughter echoed the hallway. It was dimly light; no one used this part of the Tower. It was for storage. Her footsteps ricocheted in all directions at the same time.
Twirling around in a circle, Bionica switched on her night vision; still nothing. Just boxes, boxes, and…wait! Something moved. Something wasn't right here…
She felt something on her back. Before she had time to react, her body went limp. Someone had overridden her systems. She couldn't feel it, but saw her right arm lying next to her, no longer attached to her body.
Techna picked it up, examining it. She gave a slight look of approval and tucked it under her arm. "As a souvenir," She explained.
She pressed a button on her backpack and Bionica was sent flying through the roof. While in midair, she gained control over her body again.
It was a good thing, because she was headed straight for the water…
END FLASHBACK
"So what, big whoop!" Beast Girl screamed, throwing her arms around. "'Least you didn't have to have the same wound healed twice! Inflicted by the same person!"
FLASHBACK
"Come now, don't be shy," Hexus coaxed, turning around a corner.
A good few feet away, Beast Girl rested her hands on her knees and gasped for breath.
"This is a familiar scene, isn't it? A pretty young girl running from a big, scary man," He continued, approaching her. He accentuated 'big, scary man' like it was a joke.
Hearing him near, she took off in another run. He grinned evilly, sending a hex at the door in front of her.
It collapsed in a pile of rubble, blocking her exit.
"Going somewhere?"
END FLASHBACK
"Everyone, calm down," Revan instructed, pulling his legs into lotus position. He chanted softly, trying to forget how he and Blazefire had been so embarrassedly beaten by one person.
FLASHBACK
"We should be safe here," Revan said calmly as Blaze pushed some of their physical equipment in front of the door.
An explosion followed by a loud boom filled the training room. When the dust cleared, Tink was standing in front of a large hole in the wall, hands on her waist.
"It's a shame, really. You two are cute...just not my type."
She grinned and walked slowly, but eerily creepily, towards them.
END FLASHBACK
"We cannot waste time. We need to find Robyn," Blazefire injected, still looking angry.
"What's the point? They whooped us."
"Are you really going to give up, just like that?" A female voice called. The four turned to see a slender girl perched atop a boulder, arms folded. Her legs dangled over the edge.
"Ha. If this doesn't get us hired, I don't know what will," Techna snorted, sorting through a CD rack. "Ravager's gonna wanna kiss our feet once she finds out that we beat 'em and took their cruddy tower."
"Food sucks," Tink supplied, turning on the television.
"You should see their clothes," Hexus added, walking through the door.
CRASH
"What was that?" Hexus turned around quickly, preparing himself for an attack.
The other two looked around apprehensively.
"Oof!" Tink let out a yell as she was flung into the wall. Bionica's hand, the one Techna had so kindly "borrowed", was levitating in the air, two small jets keeping it up. It was held in a fist formation.
A black claw, one resembling a raven's, appeared from the floor and grabbed Hexus, pulling him into a black vortex. He didn't even have time to yell.
Techna's eyes darted around the room. Silence filled the atmosphere. Tink had been taken somewhere in the commotion; she was alone.
Suddenly, the robotic hand flew in front of her face. A screen appeared on the arm, a face flickering into view. "Remember me?" It taunted. The arm suddenly grabbed Techna by the backpack and flew thru the ceiling. It let go of Techna, who dropped to the roof ground among her teammates.
"Trouble, team?" A female voice asked through a speaker on Techna's backpack.
"N-no Ravager—" She was cut off as Robyn snatched the device, inspecting it.
She slid it into her belt, grabbing Techna by the cuff of her collar. "Who is Ravager?"
Across town, a dozen screens lit up the room, a single phrase being repeated over and over again.
Who is Ravager?
Who is Ravager?
Who is Ravager?
Okay...This is my gender-bendered version of Final Exam. I formatted it differently, changing some things around.
Let me know what you think, like I said before. If no one likes this, I'll just cancel it.
Next episode/chapter...Probably Sisters...I liked that episode, and I need to introduce Blackfire. Name will probably just be Blackfire, or Nightfire. I can't name any of the Tamaranean's. At all. CORNY!
To jjayno1, yes I know. Blaze sounds incredibly gay in this story. I apologize. :)
