"It's going to be at least another day before you recover." said the Green Raven. (Courage) "Just wish we knew what was going on outside."
"It's going to take forever to recover." said the gray cloaked Raven (sadness) "Afterwards, who knows what will happen?"
"Will you guys stop arguing?" Raven sighed. Emotions could be very annoying, especially in a dark place.
"Things will be fine." said the pink cloaked Raven. (Happy) "It's a wonderful world!"
"It doesn't look good, though." said the intellectual Raven. (Gold-cloaked) I've seen what's been going on, and the others are trying to capture out savior."
"Somehow, I'm less than surprised." said Raven. "Robin's always been impulsive, getting us into a lot of trouble."
"Don't worry, it'll be solved." said Happy.
"Or there could be total destruction." said Sad, hiding in her cloak.
"Look, I doubt that's going to happen." said Intellectual. "In any case, all we can do is help Raven recover. She's already recovering faster than I suspected."
"I'll see you later." said Raven, turning her back on them. All their arguing gave her nothing but a headache. At least Trigon was subdued for the moment.
Danny flew around Jump City, invisible, so he would hopefully not attract the Titan's attention. He tried to get his mind of things, but it wasn't working. He was wondering why he should bother even being Danny Phantom. Danny was beginning to hate his powers, despite their advantages.
He saw the Titans Tower, and for a moment, he was tempted to pay them back for their kindness, but once his sanity kicked in, he just flew away.
Suddenly, his ghost sense went off. There was a panther-ghost heading towards the Jump City Bank. Turning visible, he prepared to fight.
Meanwhile, the Titans had caught sight of Danny, and were preparing to fight. Robin got on his body armor, and the rest stopped what they were doing and prepared for action.
As they were heading to their destination, Robin noticed something. It was several of Slade's robots. Cyborg stopped his vehicle and the Titans attacked. Within seconds, the robots were defeated.
Unfortunately, they were only skirmishers. Cinderblock revealed himself along with about a dozen more of Slade's robots. However, these were upgraded, at least 4 times stronger than the regular ones. They were about 7 feet tall and had several weapons.
"Titans, Go!" said Robin, and he rushed towards the robots, while the others attacked Cinderblock.
Robin easily dodged the weapons and took one down, but the others were not swayed. They fired more quickly, which distracted Robin and eventually, a couple shots hit him. Fortunately, he had his body armor, so he wasn't injured too badly.
Meanwhile, Cyborg and Starfire fired at Cinderblock, while Beast Boy was ramming him in the form of a Triceratops. Eventually, Cinderblock was weakened, but before they could take him down, the robots turned on them.
Cyborg turned around and blasted one of them into oblivion. "Booyah!" he cried, but Cinderblock body-slammed him, and as strong as he was, he couldn't get free.
Meanwhile, Danny punched the ghost Panther in the gut, sending it to the roof. It fired energy out of its mouth, but Danny easily blocked it. He retaliated by firing a ghost stinger, stunning it. Within seconds, Danny sucked it into the Thermos.
However, his problems weren't over. 4 10-foot robots that looked like scorpions surrounded him. 2 fired lasers out of their tails, but Danny simply flew out of the way. Unfortunately, they could fly as well, and they were in rapid pursuit.
Eventually, they were over the river, and Danny decided to act. He fired his eye energy blasts, which knocked one back, but did no real damage. One of the robots fired a missile at him, and he barely managed to go intangible in time.
Danny turned around, determined to fight back. He fired a ghost stinger, damaging one badly. With a few more shots, he managed to destroy it. He prepared to fight the others, but they retreated for a reason Danny did not know.
"Maybe he isn't an evil ghost." said Jack. "We were wrong about him. Unfortunately, nobody will believe us."
"There's got to be somebody who thinks highly of him." said Maddie. She then noticed the S.W.A.T. team moving towards downtown Jump City. "Jack, we better check something out."
He grabbed her arm and went into the Ghost Assault Vehicle, pulling Maddie with him. He sped off and followed the cops. He saw a gigantic stone monster and several robots fighting a team of superheroes.
"Ghosts have created a stone monster!" said Jack. "Maddie, get the weapons ready! Fire on my command!"
She didn't wait for Jack. She prepared the ectoplamsic weapons and fired. Green and yellow bursts hit the 20-foot stone monster. It had some effect, but it wasn't taken down.
Jack readied the backup weapons and fired. Pink blasts knocked the monster back, giving the superheroes time to recover. They fired at the stone monster until it couldn't take any more and retreated.
"Very good, Titans, very good." said a voice, and they were sucked up in a vortex that led about 200 feet underground.
"Maddie, flight mode!" said Jack and the wings extended out the Ghost Assault Vehicle, flying after them. Unfortunately, the RV couldn't fly very well and they just barely avoided a collision. It looked like a metal tunnel and the path was ominous and smelled of death.
Jack and Maddie stepped out, Ghost Bazookas at the ready. The voice was behind them and they followed. Hopefully, it wasn't a ghost that had kidnapped Danny and Jasmine to get to them.
"If they've hurt my children, I'll tear them apart with my bare hands." said Jack. "Fortunately, I have the Fenton Ghost Gloves to do it. I've made some upgrades the past few days and..."
"Jack, be quiet!" Maddie hissed. "We don't want them to hear us."
Meanwhile, the Titans surrounded Slade, but he just chuckled. He was at least 5 times stronger than a normal person and an expert fighter. He also had an I.Q. of 184 and was a deadly enemy of the Titans.
"I see you haven't become soft." said Slade calmly, and he jumped about 10 feet in the air and kicked Cyborg in the head. Robin charged him and the fight began.
"We must help friend Robin!" said Starfire.
"Not right now, we're not." said Cyborg. "Odds are, we'll hit Robin instead. Until he gets some distance, he's on his own."
"We can't just sit here and do nothing!" said Beast Boy.
"We don't have a choice." said Cyborg. "None of us want to hurt Robin, so we have to hope for the best."
Beast Boy ignored him and turned him into a bull. He charged right at Slade, but he easily jumped over him, which left Robin trying to get away. Finally, Beast Boy managed to turn around and went after Slade again, who just stood there. He shocked him with about 2500 volts of electricity, which took him down for the count.
Robin charged him, but Slade did a back-flip and landed on a rock. At that moment, Danny Phantom arrived and prepared to fight.
"May I introduce my apprentice, Danny Phantom." said Slade. Of course, he wasn't his apprentice, but the Titans didn't know that, and Danny could be quite useful to him.
Cyborg fired his cannon at Danny, but he easily dodged and kicked him aside. He rushed towards Slade, but before he could reach him, Robin fired an exploding disk, knocking him back.
Danny weighed his options. He could go after Slade, but he had to go through the two titans. Or he could just leave, but they would be even more convinced that he was evil.
It seemed he didn't have a choice. Robin tried to hit him with his bow staff, but he grabbed it and sent into the wall. However, before he could attack Slade, Cyborg blasted him from behind. He fired his energy blasts and knocked him back, before throwing him into the metal ceiling.
He then punched Robin, who could not react quickly enough and was knocked out cold. Cyborg knew he didn't have much of a chance but attacked anyway. Starfire attacked, but soon met the same fate as Robin by falling to ghost lightning.
"Cool, I've got a new power." said Danny.
Ignored in all the chaos were Jack and Maddie. They decided on a course of action and fired their Bazookas at Slade, who was sent to the ground. He quickly got up, however, and headed towards them. Jack put down his bazooka and prepared to fight hand to hand.
Slade easily blocked his attacks and threw Jack aside. Maddie fired, but he dodged every shot and held her by the neck 3 feet above the ground. He was prepared to tear her head off when he was hit in the back of the head and dropped her.
That had hurt more than he wanted to admit. Human or not, this man was very strong and enraged. He put Maddie in front of him as a shield and laughed at the man's uncertainty.
"Hurt her and it'll be the last thing you ever do!" said Jack, pushing a button and a ghost fighting suit suddenly appeared. Good thing Maddie had figured out the trans-dimensional physics.
Slade was about to just break Maddie's neck but was hit with a very painful blast. Who did it come from? Robin and Beast Boy were out cold, and Danny was occupied with fighting Cyborg, quickly getting the upper hand, thanks to his new power.
Maddie didn't care as she got away as fast as she could, getting her ghost bazooka. Slade pushed a panel on the wall and escaped before either of them could do anything. Jack tried to follow, but he couldn't find the panel and Slade was long gone.
Danny had beaten Cyborg and flew beside them. Jack and Maddie decided not to fire at him, since they were at least willing to give him a chance.
"Nice to see you're not trying to kill me." Danny joked. He grabbed them by the shoulders, turned them all intangible and prepared to fly out.
"Wait, our RV is still here!" said Maddie.
Danny reluctantly followed directions and flew to the RV. Fortunately, there was a hole that they came in and they managed to get through, after about 2 minutes of uncertain flying.
By the time they got out, Danny was long gone, but Jack and Maddie now had a different opinion of him. The Titans would soon recover, as they had suffered no permanent damage.
Never thought I'd meet a superhero. Thought Jack.
As Jack predicted, the Titans had recovered and were now back at the tower, discussing further plans.
"I should've guessed Danny Phantom was Slade's apprentice." said Robin. "I'm going to take him down."
"Good luck." said Cyborg. "I'm going to be fixing the damage on my robot parts for at least a day."
"Maybe he isn't working for Slade." said Beast boy, but his voice revealed that he really didn't believe it.
"Do we really know him?" asked Starfire. "Slade's introduction could have just been a ruse."
"Or Danny could be working for Slade, trying to destroy us all." said Cyborg.
"We've got to take action as soon as Raven wakes up." said Robin. "Starfire, you've got to trust me."
"I do trust you." said Starfire. "I will fight, though I do not like it."
They each retired to their own rooms, wishing they could fight Danny, but knew they didn't stand at that point.
"Well, I now think differently of Danny Phantom, son." said Jack. "Me and Maddie even got to meet 4 teenage superheroes. I'm not often proven wrong."
"Actually, you're proven wrong twice a day, but I'll forgive you for that." said Maddie. "Anyway, we fought someone named Slade and Danny Phantom fought the Titans."
"I wonder why they think he's evil." Jack wondered, forgetting Slade said he was his apprentice.
"Mom, Dad, how about you give this a rest." said Danny. "I'm going to find Jazz."
I haven't talked to Jazz for 4 days. Thought Danny. Now the Titans hate me more than ever. Wonder why Raven hasn't convinced them otherwise.
Remember the offer. Said the voice. Remember, son.
I really hate my life. Danny sighed.
Hope you like the chapter! I think the new villain is pretty obvious now. I'll get the next chapter up in a couple of days, if I get my history project done. Sorry I made the ghost fight short, but it wasn't very important.
Next Chapter: Moving Pieces Pt1
Speedy and Aqualad arrive at Titans Tower, and Vlad has a little talk with Danny. To top it off, a new vigilante arrives in town.
Well, that should make the new enemy obvious. What do you think is going to happen to Danny?
