Chapter 9
Catboy crashed down with his foot on Slade's chest. Slade was knocked back and Catboy flipped off of him landing roughly. Slade bounded off a tree and pulled out a titanium staff. "By sending Beast Boy out after that decoy, you've given me a chance to get you alone," Slade said. Catboy turned into a cat and scurried up a tree. Slade pole vaulted up into the tree. "Nowhere to run."
"I'm not playing cat and mouse," Catboy said. He turned into a human and sliced down the tree with a dark energy claw. Slade jumped off of the tree and landed behind Catboy he grabbed him by the shoulders. Catboy flipped him over into the ground.
"You're good," Slade sighed. "But you have a lot to learn." Slade took the staff and smacked Catboy across the face with it. Catboy bounced back into a rock. His nose bled. He magically healed himself.
"That is the first and last time you make me bleed," Catboy growled. His eyes glowed black and began to flare. "What Beast Boy said about you was true. You are a monster," Catboy's eyes blasted and two dual black beams fired from his eyes. Slade flipped out of the way. Slade took out his staff again and twirled it rapidly. Catboy flipped up and telekinetically hurled a tree at Slade. He countered it with his twirling staff. It overpowered him and knocked him down a hill. Catboy charged after him. Slade got up. They were next to a river. Slade jumped onto a stone and then jumped over to the other side.
"It was great getting to know you," Slade snickered.
"You were the one who injected Beast Boy with the anti-virus and lured us here," Catboy growled. Slade laughed.
"You just realized that. You must be new to this whole evil plot thing," Slade snickered. Catboy's eyes flared up even more. Catboy's hands glowed a deep red. He shot red energy beams at Slade. He flipped onto another rock to avoid the beam. Catboy turned into a half cat half human beast. He leaped up and dove for Slade. Slade pulled out his staff.
"Batter up," Slade growled.
"Hey Slade!" Beast Boy yelled from the bridge. He threw down a green stuffed monkey. He caught it.
"My decoy?" Slade asked.
"Yeah, I found what I was looking for," Beast Boy came out of the shadows with green skin. "What do you know? There was actually a green Sakutia infected monkey in Australia all along!" Beast Boy roared. He jumped off the bridge and turned into an elephant. Catboy flew off the ground. Beast Boy smashed to the ground and shook Slade back into the foliage. "Let's get out of here." Catboy teleported himself and Beast Boy back to Jump City.
