Chapter 8: The Wicked Princess!
"This sucks!" Beast Boy whined, as the Titans left King Regald's room. Glanicng at the entrance to the Prime Minister's room, Beast Boy kicked the door feverishly.
"Hey, grass stain! What the heck are you doing?" Cyborg questioned, as he watched Beast Boy with curiosity.
"I don't know, if we should trust King Regaled!" He seems a bit off!" Beast Boy huffed, as he tried to unlock to Emily's resting place.
"Don't!" Karen yelped, as Beast Boy turned into a Tyrannosaurus. The floor bed creaked and groaned in protest, as Beast Boy remained in his dinosaur form. Shrinking into his regular size, Beast Boy gave his friends a look of inquisitiveness.
"What?" Beast Boy asked, as Robin glared at him angrily. Robin's stare pierced his forehead, and he scratched his head wonderingly.
"You'll alert Emily of our presence, so we have to be quiet! Charging at the door will cause a lot of ruckus, and the floor was about to cave in!" Robin scolded, as Beast Boy blushed embarrassedly.
"We made a lot of noise, when we were fighting King Regaled!" Beast Boy whined, as his eyes widened innocently.
"It doesn't matter!" Robin muttered, his voice shaking. "We should go after the Princess, before Emily leaves this place."
"Boyfriend Robin, is right! We should make with the haste!" Starfire chirped, as she followed Robin down the Museum hallway. Following closely, Beast Boy shrugged his shoulder's anxiously. They approached the Princess Persephone's room, and Robin gripped the door handle nervously.
"Be prepared." Robin ordered, as the Titans organized themselves. Shoving the door open, the Titans saw their target. The Titans expected a fight, but they were disappointed.
"I was expecting you." Princess Persephone stated, as she turned around. Staring at the Titans, her evil eye's shimmered. It was obvious that this girl was being controlled, and her eyes were overcome by a eerie glaze.
"You were?" Beast Boy asked, surprised by the possessed ghost's tactics
"Do you wish to do the batteling?" Starfire questioned, looking at the beautiful specter. Persephone's shimmering, long, silver hair clung to her shoulder blades, and her body was extremely thin. The dress revealed much of the girls breasts, and a slit in her dress, showed off her right leg. The ghost did not float, but she moved with grace. Her diminutive feet were beautiful, and her shoes were richly propositional. She was so beautiful, that she could have been the reincarnation of Helen.
"No, battle is pointless. My form is to exquisite for fighting, but I do have another task for you." Princess Persephone responded, her face remaining stale.
"What's the task?" Robin question, as he crossed his arms in aggravation.
"You must answer three riddles, but there is a penalty. If you answer the riddle wrongly, then you will be killed. If you are unable to answer, then you shall be locked in this room for a eternity. After death, your souls will still be unable to escape the premises." Persephone smirked, as she tapped her foot impatiently.
"Do you still wish to challenge me?" Princess Persephone asked, her voice shaking with laughter. Robin looked at his teammates, and they all nodded in response.
"We'll do it." Robin stated, as he gave a anxious sigh.
"Here is your Riddle." Persephone said to Robin, with a sickening smile plastered on her face. "There are ten bags containing marbles. Each bag has at least 10 marbles in it. Nine of the bags contains only marbles weighting 10 grams each. One of the bags contains only marbles weighing nine grams each. Each bag has a different number of marbles in it. All of the marbles look exactly the same. The riddle is how can you know which bag has the nine gram marbles if the only device allowed to be used is a weighing scales which you can use only once?"
"Dude! Couldn't you have asked a easier question?" Beast Boy moaned, as he scratched the back of his head. A look of aggravation crossed his face, and he tightened his lips. Ignoring Beast Boy's question, the Ghost continued to smile.
"Have you given up?" Princess Persephone asked, eagerness smothered her beautiful face.
"No!" Robin snapped, as he placed his hand on his chin.
"Friends, I have acquired the answer." Starfire chirped, as Persephone's face fell. Put all 55 marbles that you selected from the bags together on the balance. The number of grams that the total weight of these 55 marbles differs from 550 grams, is equal to the number of marbles of 9 grams that are among those 55 marbles, and that is equal to the number of the bag which contains only marbles of 9 grams."
"Wow!" Beast Boy said, as his mouth fell open.
"On my planet, mathematics is highlythought of." Starfire responded, laughing at Beast Boy's befuddled stare.
"Very well." Princess Persephone responded, as she gave Starfire a agitated look. "Here is your next question. "You are in a cold house in the winter. It is dark. You have one match. There is a candle, and there is a wood burning stove. Which do you light first?"
"Wouldn't you light the candle first?" Beast Boy asked, staring at Persephone curiously.
"That answer is incorrect! You have sealed your fate, and now you must die!" Princess Persephone hissed, as a large monster materialized behind her. It charged passed the Princess, and immediately attacked Karen. The monster picked Karen up in its claws, and Karen fainted from fright.
"Titans go!" Robin hollered, as the Titans charged the ferocious beast. It immediately released the unconscious girl, but the Titans knew they were in trouble. Without Karen, they could not defeat Princess Persephone. Beast Boy ran forwards attacking the mighty animal, and he ripped the creatures head off. Blood engulfed the floor.
"That was easy!" Beast Boy cried, as he leapt happily. Surprisingly, Princess Persephone began to laugh merrily.
"That can's be good." Cyborg muttered, staring at the laughing girl. Beyond Persephone, two more monsters began to form.
"Crap." Beast Boy grunted, as the Titans were attacked.
"Cyborg! I want you to wake Karen up!" Robin ordered. Nodding, Cyborg rushed past their leader. Leaning over the unconscious girl, Cyborg did all he could to awaked her. Shaking her shoulders, Cyborg gave a agitated growl.
"She won't wake up!" Cyborg hollered, as Robin was tackled by the creature.
"Keep trying!" Robin stated, still struggling. Curiously, Cyborg began to dig in Karen's bag. Finding a tampon, Cyborg let out a horrible squeal.
"Yuck!" Cyborg said, as he dropped the Tampon. He soon found a water bottle, and it was filled with cold water. He doused the girl's face, and she jumped out of her slumber.
"HEY!" Karen snapped, as she pulled hair from her face.
"We could use a little help." Cyborg said, as he pointed towards the raging battle behind him. Turning around, Karen began to dig inside of her backpack. Pulling out her full-size book, she began to turn the pages frantically.
"I can't work, when somebody is watching me." Karen said, as she began to blush. Jumping to his feet, Cyborg returned to the raging battle. Turning the pages desperately, Karen soon acquired the spell for getting rid of monsters.
"Lipsonen, Lipo, Minox!" Karen cried, as her voice boomed. The monsters vanished, and the Titans gave a sigh of relief.
"I'm glad that is over." Beast Boy whispered, as Princess Persesphone fell to her knees.
"I'm so, so sorry!" The princess cried, as her eyes returned to normal. "I'm not sure what happened."
"It's alright, you were possessed." Robin whispered, as he walked towards the trembling ghost. She gave him a small smile, and she soon returned to her feet. "Your father sent us here."
"I see." The princess whispered, as she stared at her feet. "Will you take my to him?"
"Yes, but are you alright." Robin questioned, as the ghost touched her head.
"I'm already dead, so it's hard not to be." Persephone responded, as she gave a queenly smile. She stood with a smile, and you could tell she was royalty.
"Wait! What was the answer to the riddle?" Beast Boy question, as curiosity got the better of him.
"Well, you would light the match first." The Princess giggled, as her smile increased. Her ghostly glow shook when she laughed, which caused everyone to smile.
"That's a good one! I'll have to tell, Raven." Beast Boy chirped, but his face fell. His eyes became unfocused, and he gave a sad sigh.
"Let's go." Robin whispered, as he walked out of the princess's room. Beast Boy continued to frown, while Persephone gave him a concerned look. They soon entered the King's room, but it was empty.
"What the heck!" Beast Boy cried, as he pounded on the floor angrily.
"He's gone!" Robin cried, staring at the room angrily.
"What's going on?" Persesphone asked, as she looked at her angry companions.
"Your father was supposed to be here! He was going to help us!" Beast boy hollered, as he flopped down on the bed.
"Oh dear." Persesphone grimaced, as she flinched. "He has done something like this before."
"We are totally screwed!"
