Note: Thanks for all the reviews! Sorry it took so long to bring chapter 4 but I've been suffering from a bad case of writer's block on what to do with the next chapter. Anyway here's the latest chapter in the Titan Hunt. Hope you enjoy it!
Robin thought it was over. It's never over. The Titan Hunt continues on.
Scene 4: A Clockwork Robin
The next scene was almost ready and the star was almost there. In the distance, a desolate junkyard looked upon the empty horizon with its deranged occupants waiting. The new gang, or the Junkmen, were brandishing their makeshift weapons of agony eagerly awaiting their newest victim. As they moved about their turf they were greeted by a familiar voice. "Okay, guys, get ready," Slade announced to his sadistic hunters, "I want you to give our guest a good warm welcoming. Make him feel right at home!" The Junkmen laughed cruelly and got into position. They had all night.
The van arrived in an alley near the junkyard where Robin was thrown out by the Undertakers and they drove off leaving him in his latest hellhole. "Okay so I lied," Slade began his deranged reasoning, "but hey. You're having fun...right! Now there are some more of these assholes in the junkyard up ahead. Call themselves the Junkmen and they tend to have a habit to blend in with their environment so my only advice would be to watch your fucking back."
Robin couldn't believe it. He killed his way to what he thought was his freedom only to be thrown back to the twisted hunters that vied for his blood. "Damn it, Slade! You said that last scene was my last and I'd be free!"
"Listen, little Robbie Poo, we still need a lot more footage and we still have the entire night ahead of us so chill the fuck up and kill something! And I wouldn't shout too much if I were you because they might be near as we speak so arm yourself and entertain the masses." Robin suddenly heard rustling up ahead in the junkyard and grabbed a long rusty piece of metal that made a nice shiv.
He dove to the shadows made by the various dirty objects and looked onto the field for any Junkman to come his way. Robin tried to keep calm but thoughts kept flooding his mind and he hated it. What if he'd never escape? What if he'd die in this horrible place? He'd never see his friends again...Tears began to coat his eyes but he fought when suddenly out of nowhere a hunter jumped from the rubble and lunged for Robin while screaming like a fucking lunatic. "I'm gonna cut you so frickin' bad!"
Robin dove out of the way while trying to make any kind of hit on his opponent who to Robin's dismay was covered in makeshift metal armor that protected his body. Robin scrambled for protection as the Junkman swung his rusty blade as the Boy Wonder's face. That's when Robin saw an opening and thrust his shiv directly into the hunter's mouth and pierced right through his head splattering blood and skull matter all over the place. Robin, in stunned silence, quickly yanked the shiv from the hunter's head which then caused the body to fall to the stained earth. But as Robin attempted to move he heard the rest of the pack coming. "Hey! I think I heard something coming from over here! Hurry! Stick to the junk damn it!"
'Shit!' Robin thought as he ran for cover in an attempt to hide from these camo-wearing hunters. From a safe view he saw them gather around the dead corpse which altogether gave away his position. "Shit! Shit! Shit! This cocksucker's near! Look everywhere! Anyone of you guys fuck this up and you can consider yourself dead meat as we bring you to the Trashman to have your guts ripped out! Now move it!"
"Trashman?" Robin said unaware he was speaking out loud until Slade stepped in.
"He's there leader. A real degenerate if I ever knew one...I think you two would do nice in a little junkyard war but that'll be for the next scene...if you can survive this one that is. Heh heh heh heh heh!" His laugh sickened Robin and filled him with an anger he never felt before. "Now hurry up! You're wasting our precious time, star."
-Titan's Tower-
The Titans were worried. They hadn't see their comrade since their skirmish with those hooded punks in the alley. It was almost as if he had disappeared off the face of the planet. The Titans did all they could by trying to gather clues and anything to find their friend. That's when they decided to question the hoods they had arrested and try to get them to spill their guts. After much interrogation, the Stalkers cracked and gave the Titans their only clue: "You wanna find your dead as shit buddy you're gonna have to head to the old section of Jump City. Just follow the road of dead assholes and try not to have a big lunch before then!"
The Titans gathered whatever they needed and headed for the old abandoned part of the city unaware of the twisted horrors they would fall into.
Robin had to separate them, single them out and kill them one by one. He picked up a can and chucked it far causing a sound of metal clashing with metal. "Oh shit! That must be him! Quickly into the shadows!" As if by magic the Junkmen disappeared into the garbage which left Robin knowing this was going to be difficult. He slowly crept through the shadows of the junk trying to find a hunter to waste. Robin decided to stealthily creep up a dark mountain of trash to get a better look at his surroundings but as he did the Boy Wonder slipped on a radiator and fell to the bottom causing a lot of noise and badly cutting his leg on some metal.
Robin grabbed his leg in pain and as he struggled to get up he saw the Junkmen emerge from their world of shit to see their play thing. "Hey there he is!" Robin pulled himself up and began to quickly run as fast as he could through the junkyard all the while clutching his bleeding leg. "He's getting away! Kill the fucker!" The Junkmen dove to the trash and seemed to go invisible as Robin painstakingly tried to find a place to hide. He finally managed to hide himself behind some garbage that made a good hiding place and sat down. He was breathing heavily and sweating as he grasped his leg and tried to stop the pain. "Hey guys! Look! His blood! That little bastard's bleeding us a nice little trail!"
Robin was horrified as looked to the ground to see a red trail of blood that led to his hiding place! 'Fuck!' was all Robin could think as he scrambled to his feet and looked in all directions so as not to be caught by surprise. As Robin looked to his right he could see a Junkman creep out of the rubble and still looking for the Boy Wonder. 'This is my only chance' he thought to himself and crept behind the hunter and gently tapped him on his armored shoulder.
"Yeah who is..." As he turned around, Robin swung his shiv so it tore apart the Junkman's throat causing blood to spurt everywhere. He quickly grabbed the body and dragged it into the darkness and left a wave of blood leading to the hiding place. 'That should keep there attention there,' Robin thought to himself but stopped when he notice the hunter was wearing a headband. 'I'll use that for my leg wound!' He yanked it off the dead Junkman's head and took off to another hiding place in the junkyard.
"Jesus, Robin. You're making pussies outta these guys! I like it!" Slade was rambling on as Robin tied the band around his leg stopping the bleeding as well as cutting off some of the pain. "Now I would advise you to hurry up because well...I 'forgot' to mention that there is a gate out of this sorry shithole but the catch is that it's on a timer and if you don't get there in time it will lock you in here with your new friends."
Robin was horrified and frantically looked around for the gate. "Slade! You asshole! Why the fuck didn't you tell me?"
"Keep your goddamn mouth shut! Do you really wanna give away your location to these faggots? Anyway ya got five minutes left so you'd better move your ass and kill these shitheads before the gates close."
5:00
Robin ran to another part of the junkyard and looked around to see the last four Junkmen gathered around their fallen comrade. He had to get them alone and away from each other as far as possible. Soon the Boy Wonder thought up a plan and followed through by knocking on the junk next to him. The Junkmen looked to his direction and one of them ordered one of their own to search that location. The Junkman quickly ran to Robin spot only to find that he was gone. "What the fuck...?" Suddenly from the shadows above, Robin dropped down with his shiv and drove it straight down the hunter's spine causing him to scream out in pain before Robin finished by driving it forward and out his chest.
4:03
The other Junkmen heard their fellow hunter's cry and ran to his side. To draw their attention and lead them to their deaths, Robin ran out into the open and led the hunters in a chase of death. "Hey there's the dumb prick. Forget the strategy! Kill that cocksucking little bastard!" As they continued to chase him, Robin ran to a mound of trash and pulled it down crushing one of the Junkmen.
2:18
"I'll take him head on! You circle around and try to corner him!" The second hunter ran to another part of the junkyard while the first continued after Robin. This time he was gonna fight this one toe-to-toe and face the hunter and began striking in any exposed area of the Junkman's body. "Shit! Ahh! Why you son of a...AHH!" The Junkman was on the ground bleeding in agony. "Please no stop! I...I have a kid! Please let me live! Please!" The hunter reached into his armor and pulled out pictures...pictures of a little girl no older than six.
1:12
Robin didn't know what to do. He didn't wanna kill this man and leave that kid fatherless. He didn't wanna kill him. "Robin what the hell are you doing? Kill this motherfucker!" Slade was screaming into the ear piece.
"I...I can't," Robin whispered. "This guy has a kid..."
"Well the dumb fuck should've thought of her before enlisting in this little game now kill him or stay here to rot! Time's almost out, Boy Wonder, now finish this guy!" Robin didn't know what to do. 'I'm no killer...' but that thought put heavy emotions in him. 'I...am a killer...I've killed.' Robin was torn between his promise to hold up justice and the need to stay alive. 'What the hell am I gonna do?'
0:58
Robin knew he had no choice. He had to get out. Even if he left the Junkman alive he knew Slade would lock the gates anyway. He raised his shiv. "Wha...what the hell are you doing?" The hunter was in tears as Robin raised the shiv and began to stab him to death. "NO! NO! NO! STOP! PLEASE! AHHH!" He laid there...dead. Robin dropped to his knees in shock.
"That's my boy. Gave the bastard what he deserved. But don't worry, Robin. I'll take care of the girl. Maybe put her in my next film! Hahahahaha!" Robin snapped out of his shock and was filled with hate and rage. Hate for Slade.
"Slade! You bastard!"
0:35
"Now now, Robin, you'd better hurry. The time's almost up and you'd better hurry." Robin knew there was nothing else he could do and began to run to the gate. As he was almost there the other Junkman ran after him.
0:24
"Gonna skin ya alive Bird Boy!" Robin was almost there. He just wanted to get the hell outta there.

Freedom was close and Robin dashed to the gate.

As the Junkman reached out his arm to grab Robin, the gate closed on his arm and 4,000 volts of electricity rushed through the hunter's body causing him to scream out in pain as he started to fry. Robin watched in horror as he saw the Junkman's skin start to smolder and start to burn black and crispy until the screaming stopped. "Well done, Robin. You chewed up those assholes like a pro. Now toddle to the next scene. We got a lot more ground to cover."
R&R everyone and I'll bring up chapter 5!
