Ch. 4: Battle and Chase
Raven was just welcoming Beast Boy back to the group when a soldier reported to her.
"Ma'am, our forces are being hit hard."
Raven and Beast Boy turned to see what was doing the damage. They saw the giant mechanical dog, the large amount of enemy robots, and a punk on a motorcycle.
"Get ready to attack," Rae said to the robot soldier.
She and BB then led a group of robots to meet the enemy head on. Some of the enemy machines were blasted and this caused Johnny to turn around and stop gloating.
He saw them coming and revved up his cycle. He signaled for Wrex and the remaining units to attack as well. Beast Boy morphed into an elephant as Raven rode him.
The two armies met head on. Robots from both armies were exploding from left to right. Beast Boy smashed any nearby robots and Raven used her powers to slam any farther away robots into each other. Then Wrex came running straight at them.
"Ha ha ha," taunted Johnny, "My dog is gonna kick your-"
Just then, Wrex was sent reeling back into Rancid and knocked him off his cycle. Johnny Rancid then pulled out two metal prongs that shot out red bolts of energy.
The two Titans dodged and Raven sent objects straight at him. He dodged as well and sent Wrex at them. The mechanical mutt revved up and sped forward.
Raven had had enough and, thanks to BB holding it down with a T-Rex morph, she lifted the dog into the air and sent it crashing to the ground right on top of Rancid.
"Good job, BB," she said.
"Not as good as you, Rae," he replied.
They then got a call from the army.
"Ma'am, sir, we are in position," a high ranking machine said.
"We're on our way," Raven replied as they flew off to join the troops.
Just as the Titans had flown off into the distance, the remains of Wrex started moving. A muscular arm wrenched itself free from the debris.
Minutes pass
Rae and BB meet up with the troops. Inside the control room, Mumbo and several dozens patrolling guard robots are awaiting what will happen next. Obviously they didn't expect a surprise attack. In a quick showdown every enemy robot in the vicinity is destroyed. Mumbo tries to get away, but Raven quickly grabs his hat and wand with her powers.
A robot grabbed Mumbo to keep him from running away.
"Please don't hurt me," Mumbo begs.
"That depends on whether or not you surrender," answers Raven.
Suddenly, a loud booming noise is heard in the distance and is getting nearer. Then a wall is destroyed and there stands Johnny Rancid with a bigger, stronger machine.
"You destroyed my dog, but I made a monster. Say hello to Wrexzilla!"
Said monster was an even bigger robot than the last and it looked like a cross between a bulldog and a tyrannosaur. It stood on two massive feet and extended its arms to reveal four cannons and seven missile launchers. It stomped forward and Raven grabbed Beast Boy. She ordered all robots to evacuate with the captive Mumbo.
"Gar," she said, "I want you to get out now. I have to do this alone."
"I can't leave you, Rae."
"Just trust me."
BB nodded and ran for the exit. Then he turned back to look at Raven.
"You called me by my real name," was all he said. He then went outside.
"Aw, your boyfriend left you," Rancid taunted, "Too bad."
Raven did the unthinkable. She flew into the mouth of the war machine.
"Man this girl is nuts," Rancid proclaimed.
BB was watching the whole thing as a vulture in the sky. He was shocked. Suddenly, Wrexzilla was covered in black energy. The monster began collapsing and then a giant black raven made of the dark energy erupted from the machine. The large pieces of the destroyed robot fell to the ground right on top of Johnny Rancid. This time he didn't get up.
Raven checked to confirm if he was still alive or not. It seemed that this battle was indeed over. Raven went outside and Mumbo was cowering on the ground.
"Where were we? Oh yes, you were surrendering," she stated.
Mumbo was lead away and Beast Boy swept Raven into his arms.
"Don't ever scare me like that again, Rae."
"Sorry, but it had to be done, Garfield."
"Hey, what's with the real name thing?"
"I just wanted to see your reaction."
"Well, it sounds nice coming from you. Just try not to do it in front of the others."
"Deal," she replied and sealed it with a kiss.
Terra
Terra was leading her army to victory. Every enemy robot they encountered was destroyed and barely any of hers were. She sent rocks flying at every enemy post and felt quite confident that she was bound to earn some respect. She then made a quick call.
"Aqualad? I'm not interrupting, am I? Oh, okay, good. We should be back soon. See you then."
She smiled to herself as one of the robots came up.
"Ma'am," said a robot, "Only a few enemy units left and -"
Just then, blasts of energy were being fired at Terra's army. A figure flew past at great speed, but Terra managed to get a good enough look.
"Starfire? No, she wouldn't do anything like this."
"How right you are!" said the figure as they suddenly turned around.
"Perhaps my little sister has mentioned big sister Blackfire?"
"Oh, so you're the egotistical jerk that she's related to."
"What? How dare you! Just for that I should destroy you and the rest of your army, but that isn't fun enough so I will simply say: catch me if you can."
Terra sped off in pursuit of the Starfire look alike. Any rocks she threw either missed or were blown up. Terra was so caught up in chasing Blackfire down in fact that she didn't notice that they passed right by Beast Boy and Raven.
"Terra," Raven called on the communicator, "What are you doing?"
"This hussy came along and started destroying my army. I'm going after her and stopping her. Her name is Blackfire by the way."
"Star's sister Blackfire?" questioned BB.
"Terra," Raven said, "Come back here right now. Don't go after her. Do you hear me?"
"Sorry, but you're breaking up," answered Terra and the link was cut.
Raven was pretty mad.
"That girl doesn't know when to listen," she griped.
"Don't worry," replied BB, "We can track her."
Raven ordered a group of robots to follow Terra.
"We'd better call Robin," said Rae.
"Wait," Beast Boy stayed her hand, "I have a better idea of who to call."
