"1,349 people killed in unexplainable murders," hissed Robin. "It's disgusting!"
"Ever since those stupid, hairy, creepy spiders showed up," struggled Beast Boy, "there has been so much crime."
Raven smirked. "They can't be much stupider than you."
Starfire looked up. "Raven, this is not a time for the joking of friends. It is a time of grievance and justice." She was now sobbing.
"But, I mean, it's kinda true." Cyborg was serious.
"And why," said a near volcanic BB, "do you say that!"
"Because I found this." Cyborg held out his open hand. There was a large shiny mass. Lying next to it was a small red sphere.
"What is that?" said robin. He looked concerned.
"This," Cyborg said while pointing at the mass, "is a data storage cube. In other words, a really powerful chip." Now Cyborg frowned. He pointed at the sphere. "This is a nanobot." He seemed to wince. "It was…made by the spiders. And it's more advanced than anything I have ever seen."
"What does the robot have to do with that cube?" asked Raven.
"The bot literally sucked the data from my cube, just like how a spider sucks the liquefied insides out of a bug."
Starfire charged a starbolt. "Then let us destroy it!"
"Wait, Cyborg would have already done that if it could be destroyed," said Robin.
"And there's more." Cyborg stared as if mystified at the sphere.
BB pouted. "I still don't get what you said before!"
"Well, you'll understand this." Cyborg paused. "It's alive."
"Oh, soooo powerful! Oh, soooo mighty!" said a sarcastic bird-eating spider.
"Yeh, oi cun't bulive et, huw lung et touk em, eh?" said a common house spider. "Thee most beh thinker'n yoo!"
"Would you shut up? And I am not dumb. You are! I mean, who built the Acromantula?" said the first.
The house spider turned angrily. "Yeh, bot hoo mede thuh I-bB03905?"
"Just get back to work." The bird-eating spider rolled his eyes. "'House spiders are quiet. Hervet won't bother you.' What a load of scat."
"Was that a complaint, Cap'n O.?" teased Hervet. "Were you…mocking the Divine Titan?"
"No! No no no no no no no! I was…uhh, well, telling myself His Glory's words, and I…I saw a load…of scat on the observation screen?" The said "Captain O." shuddered nervously, awaiting his partner's verdict.
"What a wreak you are." Hervet was smiling wickedly. "I would never tell on my apprentice."
"Y-your-" stuttered Cap'n O. Then his fangs drooped in realization. "Oh, yeah. I get it."
"Good, now go retrieve the Acromantula." Hervet make a obviously fake pout face. "We wouldn't want it to get scratched on its way out. And besides, you need a little exercise."
"Yes," said a deep, earthquake voice, "he does need some exercise."
"Divine..Titan?" shouted Hervet.
"Of course. And, I think you could use a permanent brake!"
The observation screen flickered, then shattered at a shrill war cry.
"The Cursed will soon be no more, and the golden era will presume."
