Titan Wars II: Attack of the Robots

Ch. 4: Rescue Mission

Meanwhile back at Titans Tower, Terra and Aqualad had indeed stayed put as Robin ordered. Terra was looking out the window when a topic came to her mind that she had to share with someone. Who better than the boy she liked?

"Aqualad, I love being a Titan," she started.

"Well, I imagine you do," he replied, "Otherwise we probably wouldn't be here."

"But there's one thing that's been bothering me. It's Raven."

"Raven?"

"I get the feeling she doesn't trust me."

"I'm sure she trusts you with her life."

"It just that she can be so overly critical. She never listens to me either. She can be so aloof, especially when it comes to my powers. In some ways I know I'm better than her."

Aqualad walked over to stand by Terra at the window and noticed several rock outside floating in the air. He put his hand on her shoulder and the rocks dropped to the ground.

"Sometimes others that have been around longer have a way of seeing more of our faults than we like. Its how one learns."

He hesitated, but continued.

"Maybe she's just a little envious."

"You mean she's jealous of me?" asked a confused Terra.

"Think about it. You and Beast Boy hang out a lot don't you?"

"Yeah, he's been like my best friend since I joined the team."

"You two have a lot in common, don't you?"

"Well, sure. I'm one of the few who laugh at his jokes."

"Raven can't really do all those things," Aqualad explained, "If she gets really upset then bad things start happening because of her powers. They're controlled by her emotions and she has to keep them in check. She can express them now, but she's pretty cautious about doing so. She doesn't want to take any risks so she's missing out on quite a bit. Like for example, love. Not family love like with the team, but real love."

Terra remained silent. She spoke up after a minute or two.

"I had no idea. They don't really talk about it much."

"Well, now you know. So just give her time and she'll come around."

Terra turned to Aqualad and gave him a hug.

"Thanks," was all she said.

Italy

"This has become more serious than I thought," said Robin.

"Indeed," said Starfire, "The lizard aliens as you call them are called Gordanians. They travel around capturing and selling rare creatures. They are the bad news."

"That settles it. We have to tell Chancellor Slade about this."

"You, Cyborg, and Star should go back and tell him," said Raven, "Well stay and keep an eye on these guys."

"Good idea, Raven. Star, let's go."

Star flew off with Robin and Cy in her arms back to the T-Ship. Beast Boy and Raven stayed behind. Little did they know they were being watched.

"I'll call Terra and tell her Rob's on his way back," said BB.

Titans Tower

"Look," said Aqualad, "A transmission is coming through."

"Hey guys," Beast Boy said, "We're in Italy spying on some villains who are teaming up to take over the world, but everything's fine. Robin's going back there to talk to Slade to tell him everything. Uh oh."

"Hands up," said a robot.

Then there was a lot of shooting in the background and the communicator went black.

"We've got to go help them," said Terra.

"But they told us to stay here," said Aqualad.

"I'm not going to let them die. Now come on let's go."

"But we don't have a ship."

"A ship would be too easily spotted. Besides we don't need a ship."

A large boulder levitated in front of them.

"Hop on," Terra said, "If I get tired you can help me swim the rest of the way."

With that, they left on their rescue mission.

Italy

Raven and Beast Boy were now captive. They had power inhibitors on their wrists to prevent them from escaping and were behind bars. Just then, Malchior came in to talk with them.

"What do you want?" Raven asked acidly.

"This has all been a terrible mistake. They've gone too far imprisoning the Titans."

"I thought you were the ringleader?" asked Beast Boy.

"This has nothing to do with me," Malchior replied, "I'll petition to have you set free."

"Hope it doesn't take too long," Raven said.

"Why are you here anyway?"

"We came initially to find a assassin named Cheshire. Seen her around?"

"There are no assassins here I assure you."

"Robin saw her arrive, so she is here."

"A pity we've never met before," Malchior said changing the subject, "I have heard so much about you and the other Titans."

He was talking mostly to Raven and ignoring Beast Boy.

"I could use your help since I've discovered the truth."

"What truth?" piped up Beast Boy.

"A criminal mastermind is now in control of the senate," Malchior explained.

"That's a lie," shot back Raven, "We would have figured it out."

"He is very cunning. His name is Deathstroke. Dr. Light was once in league with him, but was betrayed and came to me for help. Join me and we will defeat him."

"You're lying," said Raven, "We'll never join you, Malchior."

"Yeah, what she said," added Beast Boy.

Malchior began to walk out of the prison. He turned to say one last thing.

"It may be difficult to secure your release."

RobStar

Some time later, Robin and the others returned to Jump City and informed the senate of the impending danger. A meeting was in session and Robin was there to voice his opinion on the matter.

"If we don't do something then Jump City and the whole world are in danger. In order to combat this threat, I propose that you give emergency powers to Chancellor Slade."

The room was filled with applause. Slade stood and quieted the crowd.

"I reluctantly accept this decision. I love democracy and will lay down this power once this ordeal is over. My first order will be to create a grand army for Jump City."

With that, Robin left the senate and met up with Star and Cy.

"It's done then. Call all the Titans and we'll head back to Italy to get back with Beast Boy and Raven. Also call Fixit and get that army over there quickly."

Italy

Terra and Aqualad, after a long trip, had arrived in Italy and were now at the hidden base. (obviously it wasn't very well hidden)

They made their way inside and looked around for any signs of BB or Rae. They had no idea they were being followed.

"Maybe we should split up to look," said Terra.

"Okay, I'll go left and you go right," replied Aqualad.

They went down their respective hallways. Just then, several dozen Gordanians flew in holding spears. Terra unleashed a barrage of rocks from the sides of the walls at them.

She ran as she did so, but was stopped by even more Gordanians. The biggest one with a sort of crown on his head quickly stepped forward and slapped a power inhibitor on her wrist. "You are trapped now, Titan," he said, "The mighty Trogaar will now deliver you to your doom."

"Speaking in third person can't be good," Terra said as she was dragged away.

Meanwhile, Aqualad encountered a mass of robots and was fighting them with his fists since there was no water available.

Suddenly, Cheshire sprang out of nowhere and gave him a swift kick. She then placed a power inhibitor on him. She flashed her claws and had the robots take Aqualad away.

Now four Titans were captured.
