Disclaimer: ;---; you just like making me sad? don't make me repeat it!
This episode is 'Sisters'. Once again, the Tamaraneans' names are gay gay gay. But, whatever. :)
I really like this story and it's potential, 'cause its fun to write, but I'd really like more reivews. It motivates me.
Ok, so read and enjoy!
"I must agree with you, Robyn, that your 'fireworks' are most enjoyable. But…such explosions would signal war on my home planet. You are certain Earth is not under attack?"
Robyn chuckled and leaned back in her seat, taking a bit off the end of the pink cotton candy. "I'm sure."
Satisfied, Blazefire leaned back in his seat as the finale made its grand entrance. For once, his tone didn't display naivety or (as Beast Girl would say) gay-osity. He was becoming more aware of his surroundings, and was so working on his view on the world. He had taken a sudden liking to eating more food, weapons, and…erhm…the female population… "Earth's culture is most fascinating, wouldn't you agree?"
Giving him a playful smile, Robyn mimicked him and also leaned back. "Best planet I've ever been to."
Below the Ferris wheel, three teens were watching a man struggle to throw a ring over a bottle.
Once his turn was up, Beast Girl turned to Revan, pouting. Bionica chuckled. "Please, Revan?" She cooed, sticking her lower lip out.
"These games are rigged, Beast Girl. A monkey could see this," He responded dully, leaning against the wooden pole of the booth.
"For me?" If it were possible, her lip stuck out even further.
"C'mon, Rev. Look at the poor kid," Bionica supplied, putting her arms around Beast Girl's shoulders, who was feigning sadness and dismay.
He sighed and rolled his eyes, muttering, "Fine."
Beast Girl squealed and hopped to the side as the overzealous carnie explained how the game worked. Revan titled his head at the game, as though studying it and a strand of violet hair fell in his eyes. He held the red rings in his hands, feeling them with calloused hands. Not uttering a word, he flicked his arm so fast; it appeared as a dark blur. The ring landed on the bottle with a small clatter. The carnie's eyes widened as he slowly reached for a large stuffed chicken on the shelf, close to gathering dust.
Revan pushed the fowl at Beast Girl, who tugged it tightly. "Thank you Revan," She smiled at him and nuzzled the stuffed creature with her nose. He snorted and returned to his post of I-just-wanna-screw-the-world-so-fuck-off.
Suddenly, a male yelp sounded from above, mixed in with a cry that yelled Blazefire's name.
The trio looked up to see Robyn, leaning over the seat, arm reached out towards the sky. They all jerked their heads to see a mysterious pink octopus-like machine carrying Blazefire in the direction Robyn's arm was aimed.
They wasted no time; Beast Girl immediately threw down the fowl and ran towards the dock.
Revan looked annoyed as he flew, glancing down at Beast Girl. "After all that trouble I went through to get it for you?"
She laughed. "I'll get it later."
The three met with Robyn at the dock. Blazefire had managed to free himself from the alien machine's grasp and was flying dangerously close the water, machine in close pursuit.
"What's going on?" Bionica asked, charging up her sonic cannon.
"I'm not sure," Robyn replied quickly, waiting for Blazefire to fly past them. He did, and Bionica grabbed the pink tentacles, holding them back with all her might.
"What exactly did you do to make this thing so angry, Blaze?" She grunted. The machine flew from her arms at an exhilarating speed. It flung past the team and hovered over the water, like a cat waiting to pounce.
"I am unsure…I have never seen a machine like this before," he said, scratching his head in confusion.
Thinking it was the right moment, the machine hurled itself in their direction. As it neared the group, Robyn jumped on top, riding it like a bull.
She slid down the machine until her hand rested on a part that looked like the control panel. She flicked out her Bo staff and pushed it, hard, into the machinery. The pink device crackled and fizzled. Robyn quickly jumped off. In a sudden burst of energy, it spurted into the air and exploded in a flash of light that any other person would've written off as the ultimate fireworks ending.
"Whatever that thing was, it can't hurt you now," Robyn said, her voice hinting worry.
"The real question is why it wanted to hurt him at all," Revan said mysteriously, the red embers from the explosion mirroring in his eyes.
"Come, friends! I shall fetch my chlorbag pipes and we can have a celebration in your honor of my rescue!"
His fellow teammates' eyes bulged, half in fear of their ears bleeding, half in shock at his sudden mood change.
A low, throaty chuckle came from behind Blazefire. He whipped around to see a familiar looking boy. He looked much like Blazefire, only with shiny black hair and dark blue-violet eyes, only a bit bluer then Revan's. He was also clothed similarly to Blazefire, only his outfit was the same color of his hair. Also, wherever there was skin showing on Blazefire, the boy's arms were covered in a shiny armor.
"I see you haven't changed a bit. When we were younger, I was always rescuing Blazefire." He laughed, spreading his arms out for a brotherly hug. Blaze let out a cry and slapped the boy on the back.
"Brought you a present." He held up a silver belt made of material similar to the metal on their clothes. In the middle rested a green stone the color of his eyes.
Beast Girl held her hands at her chin, cooing. "Aw, how cute, it matches his eyes!"
"A centauri moon diamond! Where did you—"
"On the centauri moons, of course."
Blazefire gave the boy a push in the direction of the titans. "My friends, I wish for you to meet my brother—"
"Nightfire," He interrupted, pushing past his brother.
"I've heard much about you," He continued. "Let me guess...Bionica." He started at Bionica, holding out his hand for her to shake it, which she did.
"I'm surprised you know how to greet someone, Blaze had no idea what a handshake was when he came here first," Bionica said with a laugh. Blazefire's cheeks flushed.
He moved on to Revan, who was rolling his eyes as his arms folded. Nightfire studied him for a moment, then nodded his head at him. "I like the gem stone on your Ajna chakra."
Revan double took. "You…know about chakras?"
Nightfire smugly smiled, approaching Beast Girl. She bit her lip and smiled up at him. "You must be Beast Girl. Much prettier then my brother let on."
Her smile grew.
"And you must Robyn." He said nothing more, but his expression said it for him. Had anyone been paying attention to Blazefire, they would've seen the normally passive green eye twitching in anger.
"Friends, have you seen my brother?"
Beast Girl, who had been flipping through one of her many feminine magazines, turned so quickly around she practically broke the sound barrier.
"No, I haven't. But, oh my god Blaze! You never told us your brother was such a hunk!" She squealed dreamily, resting her chin on the couch's spine.
Behind his book, Revan's temple pulsed. Yes, okay Beast Girl. We get it. He's a 'hunksicle'. Now shut up and move on!
"Revan? Have you seen my brother?"
Revan put the book down, sighing. Looks like someone up there didn't want him to finish this book today. "Not since we got back."
"Got back? Got back from where?" Blaze asked, tilting his head at Revan. Beast Girl and Bionica turned their heads to Revan. He did the disappearing thing all the time, but had he gone somewhere with Nightfire? Beast Girl couldn't help but feel a little jealous. (A/N: Of whom? -shifty eyes-)
"We went to one of my cafés," He said. He didn't dislike Nightfire, he was just sick of hearing people talk about him. "Your…brother's poetry is surprisingly dark and good."
Blazefire drooped and ushered himself out the door.
"That's it, Robyn. Now hold my arm just like that…"
Blazefire blinked. All he saw from his position around the corner was two figures, Robyn and his brother, becoming dangerously close together. Resisting the urge to charge his blaze bolts, he stiffened as he continued towards them.
As he neared the corner, he came just in time to see Robyn throwing Nightfire at the wall. Being able to fly, he stopped just inches away from the wall.
"Good job, Robyn. You're learning well."
"Hello Robyn, and….my brother. Am I interrupting?"
Robyn smiled at him as she grabbed a work out bag. She pulled a water bottle out and splashed some over her head. Nightfire smirked behind her.
"Not at all. Nightfire was just showing me some cool moves," She paused and looked up at him questioningly. "How come you've never showed me these before?"
Nightfire laughed smugly. "Probably because he doesn't know them; I always was the better fighter."
Blazefire grumbled and looked to his feet. That was the second or third time he'd said that?
"Friends, I wish to partake in the movie feast!" Blazefire appeared through the doors, boxes of DVDs and assorted candies in arm.
"You mean movie fest, Blaze," Bionica corrected. He replied by blushing.
"Tell me, what sort of movie shall we watch?"
"Action."
"Romantic comedy!"
"Sci-fi."
"Horror."
He dropped anything and everything in his arms. "Uh…"
"Forget the flicks, kids. We're going out," A voice said from behind them. The smugness gave away who it was. Nightfire brushed past Blaze, donning his clothes.
"Are those my—"
"Heard about a party downtown. Cool crowd; hot music. You in?"
Beast Girl squealed and grabbed Bionica by the hand, rushing to the door. Robyn smiled and followed. Nightfire turned to Revan. "Are you coming, Rev?"
"Rev-AN. And no thanks, I don't do parties."
"It's in a creepy run down old warehouse."
Revan rolled his eyes. Did that change anything? Before he could give a dry responsive comment, Beast Girl and Bionica grabbed him by the hands and dragged him to the door. Beast Girl, he could throw off. But Bionica had a…bionic grip on his arm and wasn't planning on letting go anytime soon.
Blazefire, left alone, trailed behind slowly.
The minute they entered Nightfire grabbed Robyn, twirling her in another direction. She laughed and went along with it.
Beast Girl and Bionica immediately started dancing, Beast Girl getting…pretty in to it.
Revan folded his arms as Blazefire yelled at someone for stepping on his foot.
Beast Girl danced over to him, followed by Bionica. He was a little surprised by how they moved. Beast Girl was dancing like the true teenager in her, and Bionica, despite her robotic counterparts, still moved well.
"This party is pointless. I'm leaving," He snorted, walking towards the exit.
"Oh no, you don't!" Beast Girl grabbed him and snaked her arms around him, all in good fun, pulling him towards the middle of the dance floor. He shook his head and rested his feet firmly on the ground. That was when Bionica came over. His face fell, because he knew what was happening next.
Blazefire finished his rant just in time to see Nightfire leading Robyn into a heavy crowd, and Beast Girl grinning slyly as Bionica pulled him into a crowd.
"Nooo! Stop, I don't do dancing! Let me go! What, no! Stop!"
He sighed and made his way to the roof. He was stopped by two teenaged girls gripping to his arms like they would fall to the ground should they let go.
"Hey there, cutie!" One squealed.
"Oh my god, he's one of the teen titans!" The other yelled. "We love what you do for the city! And the tight pants don't make it half bad, either," She added with a wink.
His eye twitched, something he had been doing a lot of lately, and flew up towards the roof, leaving the girls giggling.
"Blaze? Blaze, are you up here?" Robyn's voice called from the roof entrance.
He let out a sigh to let her know he was.
"Blaze, what's wrong? C'mon, you should be down there partying with the rest of us."
"It is…complicated."
"It's Nightfire, isn't it?"
He sighed and nodded again, running a hand through his hair.
"How did you know I would be here?"
"I saw those girl practically attack you on the dance floor, and saw you fly up here."
He smiled faintly. "I was not aware, when I joined the 'superhero' business, there would be so many fans of what we do."
"It's not just what you do, it's what you wear and how you look," She replied quickly, before she could stop it. She blushed lightly.
"I do not understand."
"You will someday. Now, why don't you tell me what's up?" (A/N: Katie's translation: Robyn thinks Blaze is hot.)
"I—"
"Hey kids! Like the look?" The two turned to see Nightfire, adorned in light up bracelets and necklaces.
"You look…bright. Um, can you give us a second here?"
He shook his head. "No can do, pretty lady. C'mon, I love this song." He grabbed her and pulled her down to the club, leaving Blazefire alone.
Bionica looked up from her dance partner, a male teen who was in bliss right now, to see a familiar looking octopus-like creature attacking Blazefire on the roof. She stopped dancing and ran to Beast Girl, who was in the process of teaching Revan how to dance. He stood straight as a pole, eyes somewhat wide as she ran her hands over his arms. She flailed them around, purposely making him look like an idiot.
"Beast Girl, Revan! Blaze's in trouble!" She yelled over the pounding music
They both stopped; or rather, Beast Girl stopped. She let go of his hands and they dropped to his sides.
He breathed a sigh of relief and followed after his two female teammates.
A large boom echoed the warehouse. The teenagers, too into their music, paused momentarily, but quickly went back to dancing when the music continued.
Robyn, however, heard it. She pulled away from Nightfire to investigate, but he tugged on her arm.
"Where are you going, Robyn? We're halfway through the song; you can't leave now," He coaxed. She grabbed her arm from him and flipped open a communicator.
"Report," She said into the screen. Bionica's face flickered into view.
"Remember that thing that attacked Blaze? It had friends!" She yelled, while ducking a box that was hurled at her head.
Robyn nodded. "Where are you?"
"We're at the docks, hurry!"
She snapped the communicator shut and wove her way through the crowd. She stopped, realizing Nightfire hadn't followed.
"Didn't you hear? Your brother's in trouble!"
He smiled, as though being snapped into reality. "Right…of course."
"I do not know what I did to make you so angry, but I assure you, I did not mean harm!" Blaze shouted, throwing a few orbs of green energy at the machines.
Beast Girl, morphing into a tiger, swiped at the machine. It caught her paw and threw her into Revan, who was just beginning his mantra.
Bionica slammed into the wall next to them seconds later. "Damn! What kinda shit these things fueled on?"
"What's going on?" Robyn asked, helping Bionica out of the hole in the wall she herself had created.
"We're getting thrashed, that's what," Beast Girl added, grabbing the hand Revan offered her up.
A muffled male scream could be heard from the dumpster. Faint green lines the color of his blaze bolts escaped around the rim.
"He's in the dumpster!" Robyn yelled as the machines lifted it into the air. The yells grew louder and pounding on the inside could be heard.
"Leave this to me," Nightfire said, flying ahead. Pulling back an arm, he shot out three orbs of purple energy at the three pink octopus-machines. Each hit the machine dead on and it short circuited.
"That was amazing!" Beast Girl clapped her hands together and hugged Nightfire. He chuckled.
"How'd you know where to hit them?" Robyn asked, somewhat suspicious.
He shrugged. "Lucky guess?"
"We could use luck like that!" Bionica exclaimed.
Beast Girl laughed. "Maybe he should join the team?"
Revan rolled his eyes and stole a glance to the astonished-looking Blazefire, who currently had a banana on his head.
Shaking his head hard enough, Blazefire managed to get the snot-colored out of his mouth. "Let me go! I have done nothing to you!"
"You are a liar and a thief. Do you think we would believe you so easily?"
The plane let out a whirr and began to descend. The robotic-like aliens pressed the controls frantically. One leaned against a machine for support. "What's happening?"
"We're going down! I can't control it!" The other shouted.
Blazefire felt someone grab his hand, pulling away at his restraints. He opened his glowing green eyes to see Robyn, smiling. Still holding hands, they jumped off the ship as it landed into the woods.
They were soon joined by the rest of the titans, save for Nightfire.
When the smoke cleared, two alien creatures walked towards them, heads held high.
"Hand over the Tamaranean and we will be lenient," One commanded.
"Or what?" Bionica threatened, charging up her sonic cannon.
The other alien let out a snort that sounded like it was scoffing. "By order of the Centauri police, you are all under arrest."
"Oh yeah? Well…wait, what?" Beast Girl moved out of fighting stance and settled her hands on her hips.
One pointed to Blazefire. "He has created high treason within the Centauri Empire."
"But I have never been to Centauri!" He protested.
Robyn's eyes narrowed. "I know someone who has," she pointed at the belt Blazefire hadn't taken off since his brother gave it to him. His eyes glowed green as he picked up the belt and dropped it hard on the ground.
"You've been chasing the wrong person," Robyn said to the police.
"Uhm…" Revan pointed up to see a black figure flying up to the sky.
"He won't get away with this," Robyn said angrily.
"No he will not." Without another word, he shot off into the air. He used every ounce of speed he had, stopping right in front of Nightfire.
"Oh, hey. Look, no hard feelings? I know I shouldn't have left without saying goodbye, but you know how it is," He said, shrugging his shoulders.
"You are a criminal, and you were going to let me take your place in jail!" He said coldly, flickers of green light appearing at his finger tips.
"Oh, that." Nightfire rubbed his neck uncomfortably.
"You are going to let me take you to jail," Blazefire continued.
"And what are you going to do if I don't?" Without waiting for reply, Nightfire charged up a purple energy bolt and aimed at his brother's stomach. He was sent flying.
He laughed. "I always was the better fighter."
"Not anymore!" Dodging the machine-gun barrage of energy bolts Nightfire had released, Blazefire sent two long rays of green energy from his hands, knocking his brother downward.
Nightfire looked shocked momentarily, but then fell into laughs. The laughter died down as the same green material that had captured Blazefire wrapped itself around him.
"Farewell, brother. I shall hope our next encounter will be much nicer!" He waved as the aliens dragged him towards the ship.
"Slkn'sho! Aski'na fo'slpa! Trok'nak usna't ka'lkt!" Nightfire yelled in Tamaranean.
Blazefire paled and flew down towards his teammates.
"What did he say?" Beast Girl asked, rubbing her arm. She felt ashamed of how well she had thought of Blazefire.
"I do not think…you need to know," He replied softly.
Hours later, Robyn found Blazefire watching the sun rise at the roof.
"Is everything okay?"
He nodded. "It is now."
"How are you feeling?"
"I am disappointed in my brother."
"And for yourself?"
"I am just glad the truth was discovered before I was replaced."
"Replaced? Blaze, what are you talking about?"
He wiggled his fingers nervously. "It's just…you…everyone was having such fun with him and—"
"Look, your brother was…interesting, but he could never take your place."
Blazefire smiled as she rested her head on his shoulder, watching the sun rise before them.
God, this one is loooonnngggg. It looks like they're all gonna be long, now.
Ok, so next chapter will probably Nevermore. I'm going a little out of order in my seasons, but the season 1 will end after the apprentice ones. I am gonna take requests, so ask away!
PLEASE READ:
It makes it soooo much easier to write the stories if I can watch them while I type. If you have any of the episodes downloaded that you can send to me, I would love you and give you a cameo in one of my other stories! I already have the episodes on Bluemage14's post on the BBxRae shrine, so...yeah.
