Ch. 7: A dangerous new foe

In another part of New York, Wildebeest was leading a charge of his own army against the enemy forces. They were winning and to top it off the H.I.V.E. robots suddenly deactivated. Wildebeest received a call on his communicator from Raven.

"Mumbo has surrendered. Jump City is victorious. Now let's go home."

Wildebeest let out a triumphant roar as he headed back to Jump City. Meanwhile, Raven and Beast Boy were anxiously waiting for Terra and Starfire to return.

At last the two girls showed up. Raven stared hard at Terra as she approached. Terra looked at the ground as she spoke.

"Sorry I didn't listen to you Raven," Terra said, "It was a trap to kill me and the other Titans. Luckily Starfire came to help out otherwise we wouldn't have won."

"Sweet," exclaimed Beast Boy. Raven gave him a look and he shut his mouth.

"That's no excuse," reprimanded Raven, "You could have been killed. If you try something like that again you'll be kicked off the team. I'm very suspicious about those behind all this and I think -"

Raven was interrupted by the communicator. It was Speedy who, after Bumblebee and the others returned from their mission, had decided to get off his lazy butt and help out.

"Raven? Raven!"

"What Speedy?"

"Our army is wiped out and there's a new general leading the H.I.V.E. robots. He's really powerful and I don't think we can take him. I don't know how long we'll last. He's hunting us. We need backup now before we're -"

Speedy's transmission was cut short by something or someone.

"Speedy, come in," called Raven, "Speedy?"

The communicator was destroyed with a stomp. Speedy's unconscious body was tossed aside. He wasn't dead, yet. There were six other Titans hiding in an abandoned building and surrounded by an army of robots. The army drew closer and was then stopped by their new general. The six said Titans were Red Star, Pantha, Argent, Hot Spot, Killowatt, and Jericho. They were prepared for the oncoming attack.

"Why have they stopped?" wondered Red Star.

"That new guy is unstoppable," said a tired Argent.

"There are six of us and yet we were outsmarted," added Pantha.

"We will come out of this for we are Titans," said Red Star.

Killowatt and Jericho nodded in response. Then they heard someone shouting.

"Titans," said the voice, "Your army is destroyed and you are surrounded. But know that I, Brother Blood, haveno intention of killing you. I only want to bring you to the edge of death. So prepare for pain as you fall like the insolent brats that you are!"

Blood began to walk towards the Titans.

"He is coming alone," Red Star said.

"We'll take him," growled Hot Spot.

The group hid in place and waited to attack. Brother Blood drew nearer with every passing moment. Hot Spot, being the hothead he is, was sick of waiting and charged.

Something landed on him as he made it out of the building. It was a tall, skinny yet muscular man. His white hair stuck up into points on his head and he wore a white robe with a gold and black chest emblemized with a skull with horns. He stared with a sickening smile at the remaining Titans and whipped off his robe.

Underneath he wore a black and red samurai outfit with gray gloves. He then attacked with a flurry of punches and kicks.

All five Titans tried to take him on. Blood quickly jumped over there attacks.

He then grabbed Argent and Killowatt and sent them hurtling over to the other side of the building. Jericho tried to look Blood in the eyes, but Blood's eyes glowed a spooky red and he immediately gave Jericho a hard blow to the head. Red Star and Pantha moved in to attack at once. Blood stood up to even Pantha's super strength.

He gave Red Star a kick to send him flying and then punched Pantha across the room. Red Star got up to see Pantha out cold.

"No, Pantha!" he cried.

He was mad now and charged straight at Blood. Brother Blood merely smiled as the Titan came to him as his next victim and he jumped into the air to engage him.
