Hi everyone, took long but here it is, thanks to all who reviewed.
Robin ran to the medical bay of the tower followed closely by Beast Boy, as the boy wonder arrived he saw the silver claw raise, without further thought he threw a birdarang to where he believed was the hand holding the weapon, he was not wrong, the weapon stroke the wrist of the Predator destroying his cloaking device. Both Titans were shocked at the imposing figure before them.
-Dude... what... is.. that? - Beast Boy asked
-I don't know but we won't let it hurt Star. LET'S GO!
Beast Boy turned into a cheetah and charged against the invader but the Predator was no easy pick and with a swift move landed a blow to the changeling's face that sent him flying back out, he turned back to normal with blood coming out of his mouth, dizzy he got up, Robin threw another birdarang to him but the creature broke it in half.
-LEAVE HER ALONE! -Robin yelled as he drop-kicked him.
The predator fell on his back and Beast Boy turned into a gorilla.
-If I take him down with me... -he clenched his fists – I don't care... they would do the same for me...
Robin saw in awe and horror as his friend jumped on the Predator and both fell through the window.
-BEAST BOY!
On board the T-Ship Raven saw in shock as a green gorilla holding a strange creature flew through the top window of the tower.
-AZRATH'S WRATH! BEAST BOY!
Without more thought she flew out of the ship.
-AZRATH MYTRION ZYNTHOS! -she yelled
Her power wrapped the two figures just seconds before they hit the ground, though when she landed only Beast Boy was there, the boy had cuts on his face and he seemed groggy.
-Are you all right? -she asked.
-you should have not done that...
-EXCUSE ME?
-get... away... you're in danger...
-Wait, what is goi
Raven heard the characteristic sound of a knife being sprung, when she turned around she saw the most imposing and fearsome figure.
-get in... activate the defenses... -Raven ordered
-But you...
-NOW!
The changeling ran to the door as fast as the pain and dizziness allowed him, outside Raven prepared to fight.
-I don't know what kind of aberration you are but I'm going to stop you...
Raven jumped back as the Predator swung his claw at her, though he was still able to rip her cloak.
-AZRATH MYTRION ZYNTHOS!
Raven tried to hit him with a near rock but to her amazement the Predator vanished, his secondary cloaking device now active, Raven began to move slowly towards the main entrance of the Tower, inside Beast Boy turned into an eagle frantically searching for his leader, a scream made him crash against the wall, he returned to his normal self.
-Raven... raven... -he began to cry as he pounded the floor.
Outside Raven was literally nailed to the door by a spear the passed through her right shoulder, she was desperately trying to get herself free, the pain on her shoulder was unbearable, she felt her blood soaking her leotard, she knew that there was only one way to save her life, closing her eyes she used her power to control the spear, the radiance of her own energy burned through the wound making her bit her lip, she fell to her knees when the metal finally left her body, she felt herself covered by a shadow, as she raised her sight, the massive form of the Predator stood glaring at her, slowly she got up holding her shoulder, she was decided to not let him know the fear she was feeling, she sworn he smiled under his mask, taking a small object from his belt the press of a small button turned it into a weapon like the birdarang, but a little bigger. Inside Beast Boy raised his head as he heard a new scream from his friend.
-SHE'S ALIVE!
With renovated strength he turned back into an eagle and found Robin in the main room.
-Raven is in trouble!
Outside Raven was back on her knees with a cut on her leg. The Predator was taking his time, enjoying his prey as much as he could, but he was soon to be stopped.
-Get off from her... NOW!
A sonic blast sent the attacker into the sea, Cyborg ran to the aid of his friend.
-Raven...
-Help... me up...
She screamed when the movement remind her of the wound in her leg.
-You're bleeding too much, let's get you upstairs.
Later Raven laid beside Starfire.
-What was that thing? -Robin asked.
-I don't know... I never saw a thing like that before... -Cyborg replied
-Pre... pred... predator... - a voice said
-STAR!- Robin ran to her.
The Tameranian teen opened her eyes slowly.
-Easy...
-We are... in severe danger...
-Rest now, you'll tell us about it later. -Robin ordered.
Cyborg sighed in relief as the medicament given on Tameran was doing it's job. Later that night Starfire was in her room when someone knocked the door.
-Come in...
The figure of Robin walked inside.
-How do you feel?
-Better... thank you for your concern...
-You talked about a "Predator" was it?
Starfire sat on her bed.
-They are hunters... back on Tameran they used to come every year... after their thirst for blood and flesh was satisfied they left... we were used as trophies... I failed to identify his ship on the mountain... maybe... maybe it would have been best if he had taken my life back then... friend Raven would be safe and unharmed.
-No. But you know this "Predator" how can we stop it?
-I... do not know... they have a cloaking device to turn invisible... that's how they hunt us...
-I won't let him harm you again I promise -the boy wonder replied.
The Tameranian hugged him. In the medical bay Raven's sleep was assaulted by nightmares of the imposing creature coming at her, in her dream she was crawling in the sand as the Predator approached spear in hand, she yelled as the weapon made its way to her chest.
-Raven wake up! - yelled Cyborg
The girl opened her eyes and for the first time Cyborg saw a tear ran down her cheek.
-Easy... you're safe...
-I... was scared...
-We all were. -Cy replied
Starfire was in her room trying to sleep when a figure silently opened her window and jumped in, though Starfire heard the noise and turned around opening fire on the intruder, but she gasped in horror when she saw the figure laying against her closet.
-Oh no...
