Titan Wars: The Phantom Menace

Ch. 2: A New Face

The T-Ship took off from the tower, but unfortunately some cannons had already been set up to shoot down any trespassing aircrafts. So even with Cyborg's expert flying skills

they took a good hit. "Aw man," said Cy, "We've been hit. This isn't my ship but close enough. With the damage we won't be able to make it all the way back to Jump City."

"Then what are we supposed to do?" asked Robin.

"Obviously set down somewhere remote and get repairs," replied Raven.

Meanwhile

"Has the treaty been signed?" asked Deathstroke via the communication line.

"A ship got past our blockade, my lord," said a defeated Dr. Light, "The Titans got away and we are unable to locate them."

Deathstroke sneered, "I want that treaty signed. Luckily, I have my resources. I've managed to locate the Titans and am sending a professional to take care of them."

Just then another figure entered the screen. He wore a shredded black cape and body suit. He wore grey gloves and a grey belt as well. His mask was a skull with a red x on the

forehead. There were also red 'X' on his gloves and one on his chest.

"This is my apprentice, Red X. He will find the missing Titans."

The transmission was then cut off. Dr. Light looked at Killer Moth with a worried look.

"Oh great, now there's two of them," whined Light.

"We shouldn't have made that deal with him," said Killer Moth

Back to our heroes

There was enough power to get quite a ways away, but as they passed over a desolate desert area they had to land. The teams got out and assessed the damage. Little did they

know they were being watched. "Man," said Cyborg, "These parts can't be repaired. They'll have to be replaced." "And where are we supposed to do that?" asked Robin.

Just then the ground started to shake. Rocks fell everywhere around them and then they just stopped in midair held by a yellow glow. The team looked around. Then out of a

crevice there appeared a girl. She was a tad skinny with blond hair and blue eyes. She wore blue shorts, long sleeved beige shirt with a grey t-shirt over it, brown gloves and shoes,

goggles around her neck, and behind her right ear a silver butterfly hairclip kept the hair in place. Her hands glowed the same yellow as the rocks. As she walked up to the Titans

her hands stopped glowing and the rocks fell to the ground. Then she said, "Hi, I'm Terra. Having problems with your ship?"

"You could say that," replied Speedy. "You guys are the Teen Titans right?" she asked.

"Whatever gave you that idea?" said Raven.

Beast Boy jumped in front of everyone. "Hi, I'm Beast Boy. The handsome, green shape shifter. This angel is Raven. That's our obsessive leader Robin. Local alien hottie Starfire.

Technical genius slash video gamer Cyborg. And these other guys are Titans East. That's their leader Bumblebee. Robin clone Speedy. Fish-boy Tramm. Speed demon twins Mas

and Menos. Oh, and this pretty boy is Aqualad."

At his mention, Aqualad stepped forward and extended his hand. "Hello, Terra. Nice to meet you." As Terra looked at him, she began to feel weak. She took his hand and barely

uttered a soft, "Hi." They stared into each others eyes for a few seconds until Raven interrupted. "Ahem, can we continue this later?"

Terra regained her senses and said, "I know a place nearby that sells parts for vehicles. Maybe you could find what you're looking for there."

"Cool," said Cy, "Lead the way."

"Mas, Menos, and Tramm. Stay and watch the ship," said Bumblebee.

Terra used her powers to levitate a large rock over and jumped on top of it. She then moved forward beckoning the others to follow. They went a ways until they came to what

looked like an auto mechanic garage on wheels. As they approached they were greeted by a man in a leather jacket with a goatee and a white t-shirt with the letters DDD on it.

"What up, daddio?" the man said. "What did he say?" asked Cyborg.

"Well, my beatnik is a tad rusty," replied Beast Boy, "But I know he said hello."

"What brings you cool cats here?" asked the man.

"We need some parts for our ship," spoke up Bumblebee.

"You've come to the right place. What do ya need?"

Cyborg handed a list of the parts to the man.

"You cats are lucky. I just got some in this morning. It'll come to this much."

The man then gave Cy a piece of paper. Cy looked like he was about to faint.

"That much! We don't have that kind of money!"

"Too bad, so sad, man. Of course you could always enter in the big race tomorrow. The cash prize would more than pay for the parts. No flying of course. You gotta put the

rubber to the road. Other than that anything goes. But I gotta warn ya that nobody beats me, Ding Dong Daddy."

"We'll see about that," Cy said as he exited.

When he got a few feet away, Cy pressed a button on his arm. Robin stood next to him and pulled out a remote and pressed a button. The others were wondering what was going

on. "How are we gonna compete?" asked Speedy. "Simple," said Cy, "I just called for the T-Car and I know Rob just called his R-Cycle." Robin nodded in response.

"I can help," said Terra, "I know this terrain better than anyone. I can help you avoid any obstacles on the track." "All right then," said Cy, "Looks like we're all set. Let's go back

to the ship and wait for our vehicles to arrive."

They went back and eventually the car and cycle showed up. It was agreed that Star would ride with Robin while Terra, BB, and Raven would ride with Cyborg.

Elsewhere

"Enter that race and make sure the Titans don't win. If they do just do what I'd do. Attack them anyway," plotted Deathstroke.

"Great minds think alike, boss," replied Red X.

"You have been trained well, my apprentice. They will be no match for you."

The next day

"All right, DDD," said Cy, "We've got our ship as the entry fee. This race is on."

"You cats still got no chance against me even with two sets of wheels."

"Oh yeah?" challenged Beast Boy, "Well, how about a bet? If we win we keep all the winnings and get the parts. If you win you get the winnings, the car, the cycle, and the ship. What do ya think of that?"

"Deal, daddio. Might as well say goodbye to yo wheels 'cause they're good as mine."

As he walked off, the team gave BB a death glare.

"That was incredibly stupid, Beast Boy," said Raven.

"Indeed," said Starfire, "What shall happen to us if we lose?"

"We can't lose," was BB's reply. "We better not," threatened Cy, "Or Raven's gonna send you to another dimension." BB gulped and wished he kept his mouth shut.
