Chapter Twelve - Enemy Attack


: Gaia - Kalm Town Area :

Comet flew down into the earth after, a powerful blow from the blunt side of the large sword.

"Ugh!"

The match had been going on for only seconds now, he could not even lay one finger on Cloud. The Materia he used just made him too fast, and he was at even more of a disadvantage when Cloud cast Slow on him, effectively disabling his natural powers. Without decent velocity behind his attacks, he couldn't cause a suitable impact, meaning that he couldn't create explosions.

'Damn..at least the other Titans..and Yuffie..aren't here to see this..' Comet thought, as he flipped off of his back and landed on his feet.

"Nanaki, this is a huge waste of time. Am I to kill this guy, or what?" Cloud asked as he fell back to the earth with the Buster Sword resting on his shoulder.

"I am not sure of his true intentions,but I believe he is an ally to the Titans."

"These Titans, they owe me one." Cloud said, sauntering towards the thief.

"Ok pal, had enough?" he asked, still holding the Buster Sword over his shoulder.

"You tell me." Comet smirked, holding up the green Time materia he had swiped from Cloud's sword when it hit him.

Cloud's eyes went wide.

'He didn't even use a Materia for that...he's good.'

Comet slammed the Materia into his bangle and focused his energy on it, immediately casting Haste on himself. This spell cancelled the Slow spell from before and made him even faster. Needless to say with his powers back, and the haste spell, he easily out raced Cloud. Though Comet was faster, Cloud looked unimpressed.

"You're kidding right? You think one Haste spell will when you this fight?" Cloud asked.

"You're wrong. This Haste spell let me use my mojo again. You see, without it, I can't use my Limit."

Comet clenched his fists shut as red energy radiated on them. He smirked a little.

"But now that I'm faster, it'll be even stronger."

"Limit's your game, huh? I didn't want to have to do this, but you don't seem to want to stay down, and I need to finish this."

Simultaneously, red power surged around both of them on oppposite sides of the field. Determined not to lose, Comet gathered as much energy as he could. Putting his fists together he slammed them into the ground, creating a small crater around him. The wave of red energy shot out and raced towards Cloud, leaving the dry earth glowing with energy in it's wake. The wave got smaller as it traveled, and was about to his Cloud, but it completely went through him, leaving the ground below his shaking with energy.

Cloud remained in his same position, still gathering power for his own Limit technique. He pondered over which one to use. His options were limited considering he didn't want to kill this guy, but he was still fairly strong.

'Got it!' Cloud thought, bring the sword forth.

Comet gritted his teeth, struggling to contain the massive amount of energy that laid before him. He snapped once, just as he did before, causing the energy to thrust Cloud high into the air.

"Ah!"

Leaving the earth in small volleys, a few blasts of energy shot into Cloud, and he could feel his own body absorbing the explosive energy. He knew he had to stop this if he wanted to remain alive.

By this point, Comet wasn't focused on Cloud, but was willing the power to fly up into him. Suddenly, before Comet could react, the energy began to rain back towards him, causing several explosions around him.

"What! No!"

Cloud had began batting the energy back towards Comet, his sword powered with his own Limit. Trying to escape his own attack, Comet started to take off into the air before Cloud came down with a devastating swing of his sword, leaving a red vertical slash in the air. He followed up with two equally strong attacks, and when the assault was done, a red Kanji was left in the air. It expanded and faded, leaving Comet completely paralyzed.

"The Comet it unable to continue. Cloud is the winner." Red XIII said.

'Big surprise. This guy's more arrogant than the Shinra family was..' Nanaki thought to himself.

"This isn't over! You hear?" Comet could barely move his mouth.

Cloud took his Time materia out of Comet's bangle.

"Looks over to me."

"Cloud!"

Cloud whirled around to see Tifa, Yuffie and a girl he didn't recognize coming towards him.

'Damn it, I can't let Yuffie see me like this!'

Yuffie casually walked over to him. He was frozen in the same position he had been when he was initially attacked.

"Tsk tsk tsk. Cross-Slash will do it, everytime." Yuffie said, shaking her head.

"Spare me, and just..do something!" Comet said, getting frustrated.

"Cloud, we have to get to Midgar! Shinra is under attack!" Tifa told him.

"What..? Oh no...Terra!"

: Gaia - Shinra HQ (Canon Port) :

Vincent, Cyborg, Robin, Beast Boy, and Reeve all stood at the edge of a docking platform for the powerful canon, the Sister Ray II. Seeing as how Meteor destroyed the first one, another was built, but currently it was at Junon.

All of them had been bound by their arms in reinforced restraints that even Cyborg couldn't get to budge. Beast Boy could attempt to transform into anything useful without injuring himself with the cuffs on. Terra stood before them. By this point, she and Plasmus had taken care of nearly all of the soldiers in the entire building.

"Well guys, it's been real. Seriously. But it's time you guys bailed." she said, smiling to them.

"Terra, why are you doing this?" Robin asked.

This would be the second time she had betrayed the Titans.

"Robin, Robin, Robin. Can't you see that's beside the point? I mean, you are the detective. So come on. Why ask why..."

She walked up to Robin, and stood inches away from him.

"..when how is so much better."

Terra shoved him once, sending him plummeting from the edge.

"Robin!" Cyborg called.

He growled, before charging Terra.

"Ah ah ah...you wouldn't hit your favorite lil' rock and roller, would ya Cy?"

Terra jumped into the air, delivering a powerful kick to Cyborg's stomach, causing him to take a few steps back. A dropkick to the face sent him flying into Reeve and they both fell.

Terra lifted an eyebrow when she saw Vincent.

"I don't even know you. Sorry, no catchy line for you."

Terra quickly snapped, the floor under Vincent crumbling as he fell, just like the others.

"Terra...this isn't you! You beat Slade's influence before, you can do it again!" Beast Boy coaxed desperately.

Terra's face leaned in right next to his and whispered into his pointed ear.

"I just love these little head games B." she quickly kissed him on the cheek before booting him in the gut and sending him spiraling towards the ground like the others.

Terra smiled cockily for a second, before she fell to her knees clutching her head. Electricity danced around the two probes on her head.

'Beast Boy! No..'

She struggled with the commands Slade had given her. Ever since he had activated the suit she was wearing again, she was falling in and out of awareness. Her body would move and speak, even when her mind seemed to be asleep. She wish she hadn't seen her self do what she had just done.

Robin gritted his teeth as he fell straight down towards the air. He looked up and saw the others fall from the edge in the distance.

'Looks like this is it...' he said, preparing for the worst.

Vincent growled as his pupils quickly became skinny. He quickly transformed into the Chaos demon and large wings sprouted from his back. He struggled before ripping the arm restraints apart. Roaring, he flew and grabbed up Reeve, the closest person to him.

"I owe ya one!"

The beast only growled in response.

"Shutting up now." Reeve said, a sweat drop going down his face.

Robin had seen Vincent's transformation, and looked down towards the ground that quickly rushed towards him. With less than twenty feet to go, he clenched his eyes tight.

"Robin!" Starfire's voice rang out, and his eyes quickly snapped open.

The tameranian blazed through the air faster than he had ever seen her move. With her arms stretched forward, she scooped him up just in time.

"Robin, are you injured?" Starfire asked, flying higher.

"I'm fine! But Cyborg and Beast Boy need help!" Robin said, nodding towards the still falling Titans and Starfire gasped.

She quickly turned in the air and bolted back torwards them, but she and Robin knew that she wouldn't be able to make it in time.

"Robin, I cannot save them!" Starfire admitted, tears welling in her eyes.

She still flew torwards them but they were falling too fast. Cyborg was a tenth of an inch to the barren ground below before a red streak blazed by and scooped him up. Before even Cyborg knew what happened, it straight upwards and grabbed Beast Boy by his belt, resulting in an uber-wedgie.

"Dude!" Beast Boy groaned, looking up.

"You're late!" Cyborg said, his eyes still swirling around.

"This better effect my sentancing!" Comet snapped as he turned about, carrying the male Titans

He flew up beside Starfire and Vincent and Reeve followed behing them.

The Highwind shot across the sky, dodging the hail storm of boulders and rocks that were being sent from Midgar. Terra had began her assault.

"Get your assed in here! This ship's pulling out!" Cid yelled from the loud speaker on the ship.

Starfire, the Comet, and Vincent touched down on the deck of the ship, setting down the others.

"Punch it, old man!" Yuffie yelled, tumbling over as the aircraft shook and rocked after each blow from Terra's blizzard of boulders.

Scrambling into the ship, the Titans and AVALANCHE took cover as the Highwind turned around and flew away from Midgar.

: Gaia - Shinra HQ ( Hojo's Lab ) :

Raven's eyes quickly snapped open, and she gasped deeply. She was strapped to a metal operating table, and couldn't break the restraint. From the position she was in, she was strapped to the table in an upright position and was facing a dark wall. A dim light swung over her head, making a long squeeking noise.

'Is this the best Slade has...?' Raven pictured the strong restraints to become engulfed in her black power, and breaking away from the table.

Usually, just imagining a small act like this would trigger the desired results, but her powers did not respond.

'What the...just relax..don't put to much energy into it..' Raven closed her eyes, attempting to focus her energy.

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos.." Raven said, expecting to free herself of the simple bindings.

Again, she did not feel the familiar vibration of her own energy.Raven's easily agitated temper began to flare now.

"Why can't I do this?" she asked.

"Beacause the power is no longer yours to command."

Slade's tall figure slowly sauntered before Raven holding a large needle. Unknown to Raven, it contained a large dose of Mako and deadly J-E-N-O-V-A cells.

"And when I'm through dear girl, it will be mine."

Raven's eyes squinted when several bright lights suddenly flashed on. The wall before her was revealed to be a large mirror. Intentionally walking in front of Raven, Slade blocked her view.

"Slade!" Raven nearly spat.

His was the one she truly hated only second to her father's.

"What are you planning?"

"First Robin, the boy wonder. Next Terra, the master of earth." Slade said.

"What's that the supposed to mean?"

He casually stepped out of her way, allowing her to look into the mirror.

"Allow me to introduce my newest apprentice."

Raven looked at herself on the table, wearing the same exact apprentice's suit as Terra.

"No..."

"Yes Raven. You see, you however, are unlike Terra. My technology alone will not be able to control the key component of our world's armageddon." Slade said, knowing that would really get her angry.

"You'll never control me like you do that weakling Terra!" Raven yelled.

"How right you are. Which is why.."

Slade held up a small syringe, containing a large dose of Mako. He flicked the container a few times, causing a thick drop to escape the needle.

"..I'll be forced to surrender your leash, to a somewhat, higher power."

Approaching Raven with the needle clenched in one fist, Slade laughed loudly as he walked towards her. His evil chuckled echoed throughout the lab, as the bright lights shut off, leaving only the original dim one, swinging above.

: Gaia - The Highwind :

"Whoo! That was close!" Cid slapped his knee, laughing hardily.

"Man I tell ya! Just like the old days, huh Spike? Ha ha ha!" Cid laughed, leaning on Cloud's shoulder.

"Jesus! Are you guys alright?" Barret looked towards the Titans.

"As far as can count, your missing that creepy goth girl." Comet said, counting Titans.

"Raven!" Beast Boy said, looking around quickly.

"Vincent, where is she? She was with you last, right?" Cyborg asked.

"Right, I almost forgot. You two were unconscience." Vincent said, looking towards them.

"Beast Boy, I'm sorry..." Robin walked over, and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Terra captured her and gave her to Slade. Right now, finding Raven is our top priority. Even over saving Terra."

When Beast Boy heard, this he didn't even hesitate to react.

"What! What about Terra? You know she's under Slade's control!" he yelled, causing everyone else to quiet down and look at the ranting green Titan.

"Beast Boy, I realize that. But Raven is-"

Beast Boy cut him off.

"I don't want to hear it! We can't just abandon Terra! Right?" Beast Boy asked aloud.

No one answered.

Beast Boy looked to Cyborg for help. The metallic Titan had to agree with his leader. The fact was, Raven was a Titan, while Terra was an ex-Titan. He slowly shook his head, looking away from his green buddy.

Beast Boy quickly turned and looked to Starfire. Starfire had did nothing but try to be Terra's friend, but even she knew Raven's safety took presidence. She only lowered her head.

Beast Boy turned again, this time, coming face to face with the Comet. He was rummaging through his large, pocketed utility belt. His gloved hands produced the end of one of the special cigars he had gotten in Costa Del Sol. He placed it in his mouth so that it moved when it spoke.

"Got a light?" he asked, quirking an eyebrow, completely ignoring the topic at hand.

As far as he was concerned, one less Titan meant more of a chance that he would be able to escape when they got back to Jump City.

Beast Boy, however, was not in the mood. He grabbed Comet by the shirt and suddenly pushed him against the hard metal wall of the ship. Beast Boy bared his teeth and emitted a small growl.

"I've put up with your crap long enough, and I'm sick of it." He nearly threatened.

"Big talk for-" Comet's witty come back was cut off by a quick right hook from Beast Boy that left the thief stunned on the ground.

"Shut up! If it weren't for all of your bull$#$, we could've gotten here sooner and I could've found her!You don't care about anyone but yourself."

At the end of his sentence, Beast Boy attempted to throw another fist into Comet's face. This time, Comet quickly caught Beast Boy's tight hand. Much stronger and faster than the changeling, Comet countered with his own punch that sent Beast Boy into the opposite wall.

"I'll let you know what I start to care." Comet said, leaning his face in closer to BB's.

They glared at each other.

'This guy...I hate this guy!" Beast Boy told himself.

'This guy...I hate this bastard!' Comet thought.

'I swear...if something happens to Terra...or Raven for that matter...'

'..he doesn't know anything about me..touch me again Bitch Boy..I dare you..'

'I'll kill him!' They thought simultaneously.

Robin stepped between them, seperating the fighting teens.

"I hope that'll settle things here-" Robin started, but was again cut off.

Beast Boy suddenly pushed by him.

"This isn't over!" He said pointing at the Comet, who only quirked an eyebrow.

"And as for you guys.." he threw his communicator onto the floor and it slid to a stop at Robin's foot.

"If you won't help me save Terra, then I'll do it myself!" Beast Boy pushed past Cyborg and Starfire, back towards the deck.

"Aw, B..don't do this." Cyborg said, but it was too late. Beast Boy had dived from the Highwind, transformed into a small bird in the distance and was gone.

No one said anything in the deck and Robin gritted his teeth. Comet casually picked up Beast Boy's communicator and looked at it.

"Jeez, what's that guy's problem?" Comet asked, smiling.

Everyone else in the group started at the thief and wore solemn, serious expressions.

With an unenthusiastic yawn, the Comet turned.

"Hint taken. This place was full of stiffs any way."

Walking towards the deck, he passed Yuffie and said

"Not you." he quickly whispered, and a small sweat drop appeared on her head.

The Comet sauntered up to the deck and flew away, abandoning the team just as Beast Boy had done.
