To the story
Chapter 2: A Fatal Battle
Raven flew back towards the pizza place, and found a green hawk and a red haired girl flying above and a little ways ahead of the T-Car. Phasing into the vehicle from behind, she sat herself into the backseat and buckled herself up in the backseat. Cyborg was driving, while Robin was sitting in the front passenger seat. Raven was the first to speak.
"What are we dealing with?"
"There's some commotion at the city's museum," replied Robin, "the report was brief, and didn't specify who we are dealing with."
The car lurched a hard right, then a left as Cyborg dodged traffic at insane speeds. "Could you drive a little safer," said an irritated Raven, "because I don't feel like dying from a collision."
Cyborg grunted in answer, turning another left at 67 mph, "Why don't you drive? I don't see you doing-" A blast of red energy collided with the car, the impact blowing out the front side and hurling the piece of metal into the air towards a building.
"AAHHHHH!" Robin and Raven screamed, clinging onto their seats.
Cyborg joined them "NO! MY BABY!"
"Cyborg! We're about to die, and all you can think about is your car?" Robin said, surprised.
Beast Boy and Starfire watch as the T-Cargracefully tumbled over and over in the air, the occupants screaming that was not understandable. Starfire sped towards her doomed friends as Beast Boy flapped his wings paralyzed at the scene before him. The Tameran, with great difficulty managed to get behind the twirling vehicle and oriented herself between it and the building.
"Hold on friends!" she spoke, arms outstretched ready to catch the car. She and the car connected, but the alien managed to stop the momentum quickly enough to stop the car from smashing through the building, but her catch smashed much of the car's chassis, smashing the doors together and shattering the side windows. T-Car in hand, she drifted back towards the ground, where a despairing Beast Boy stood.
"Dude! Are they okay?" A mask of fear and worry washed over his face as the damaged the T-Car took caught his gaze." Moans, and groans answered him, and he and Starfire helped the three Titans out of the car. Raven was the first to get out, with Beast Boy's help, who ripped the door off the car with his Gorilla form.
"Never… going… to ride… again," muttered the dark girl, her voice quavering slightly as she sat on the curb. Her hair was ruffled, and her cape was missing a large section. Beast Boy shifted back to human form and stood to the right of her.
"It couldn't have been THAT bad," Beast Boy said with an empty cheerfulness. Both then turned to watch Starfire, who managed to get Robin out, who was reeling around the car."
"Ughh…..fell like I'm gonna-," said Robin, who turned a pale green and ran towards the nearest trash can. Starfire followed in close pursuit. Cyborg, got out of the car and began mourning for his car.
"NOOO! My Baby! The cruel world, snuffing her out at her prime," sobbed Cyborg, on his knees, looking up into the sky.
"Dude, it's just a car," said Beast Boy walking to him. Cyborg turned red in anger and marched up to him.
"JUST…A…CAR?" the metal man roared, "WHAT THE HELL DO YA MEAN!" Beast boy shrank back in fear and panic.
"Uhh…nothing. Forget I sad anything," the green titan said quickly, his voice slightly cracking as he made his hasty retreat. Robin and Starfire walked back into view, Robin looking better than a few minutes ago.
"Alright Titans, we have to get a move on. We have a job to do." Robin pounded his right fist into his left palm as he spoke, and Beast Boy, Raven, and Starfire nodded in agreement.
"Oh no… not until we find the idiot who knocked out my car!" Cyborg said irritably looking around for the attacker.
Raven pointed to a building across the street. "Uhh… chances are the person who did that is in the museum." They all turned their heads to the building, which looked like several artillery shells hit it in several key points. Muffled explosions emitted from the building.
"Uhh…right," replied Cyborg, calming down, "but I get dibbs on the bastard!"
Robin nodded. "Titans! Move out!"
They all headed off towards the building, Cyborg at the lead, followed by Starfire, Robin and Beast Boy. Raven however did not move a single step. 'What the hell is that?' Raven thought. A strange familiar feeling seemed to reverberate from the museum walls. Half of her told her to keep going, but the other half wanted her to leave the place. Her thoughts ran quickly, but her thoughts ended quickly as Beast Boy's voice chimed in.
"Raven! Come on!" He yelled at the top of his lungs. He was standing close to the museum's entrance. Raven flew towards him as Beast Boy yelled again.
"Everyone's inside—yow!" Raven seized him by the collar, and pulled rushed both of them through the door.
Deep within the museum, clangors of metal and explosions echoed from the Egyptian exhibit. Two figures battled it off in the dimly lit room. One was a man, his features hidden by a worn grey cloak, which surrounded his entire body. A long sword, decorated with a glinting bright blue pommel, rested in his right hand, and a dark blue aura enveloped his left hand. The other was a young woman, who was wearing a skin tight full body obsidian leotard, with a shimmering dark purple cape. She had long silvery hair that fell a bit farther down her neck that the ends rested on the cape. Her pale white face was shaped into a grin of amusement, her blood red eyes glinted laughingly as both of her arms rested at her sides.
The man sent a blue sphere of energy from his left hand towards the woman, and charged forward long sword ready. The woman leaped into the air grabbing onto one of the cloth decorations hanging from the ceiling and landed softly onto the ground behind the man. The man responded by whirling the blade behind him in a jab slash motion, but the young woman jumped back from the swipes. The man sent another sphere of blue energy after her, only to watch it connect to the wall behind her as she dove into the air onto the pyramid exhibit, and rebounded onto one of the ceiling rails.
"My my," said the young woman, smirking with an evil glint in her eye, "You're holding back."
The young man grunted in reply, "You are well aware why, but that doesn't mean I can't stop you Everto." In a swift motion he embedded the sword halfway into the ground, and glared at his opponent.
The young woman laughed darkly, swaying back and forth on the railing. "Funny you say that, because you are a vas of the Everto. Must be hard, knowing in the end, you will become what you fought for centuries!"
The young man smiled. "I plan to be dead long before that happens. For now, I think I'll make sure your master does not get this." With this, he pulls out a blood red stone, large enough to barely enclose in the palm of your hand, and waves it mockingly at the silver haired woman.
With a battle cry, the woman dived down, straight at her foe, sending several blasts of energy in front of her. The man quickly shoved the stone back under his cloak, and thrust his right hand outward. A wavy blue strand of energy flew out of the man's right hand and tangled itself on the handle of the long sword. With a loud grunt, the man pulled on the "energy harness", ripping out the long sword from the ground and began whirling the combination like a flail, connecting with each of the blasts, sending them in random directions around the room.
The woman still falling, moved ever closer to the flail of death. In a quick move, she mustered a powerful blast that sent her reeling back into the air. The man threw the makeshift flail aside, and thrust his hands outward to the incoming column of energy. A blue barrier of energy folded around him from his hands, and the blast glided around him. The blast of energy, however, burned all the flooring around him, and his blue silhouette fell into the museum's underground basement. The woman quickly grabbed the railing and gracefully dropped down to the ground, smirking.
She strutted slowly to the opening in the floor and smiled widely. "That all you got?" she said tauntingly.
A voice spoke from the other side of the room. "I don't know why you're trashing the museum, but it stops here!" She turned and looked at the source.
It was Robin, with the titans close behind him. Cyborg was behind Robin, Starfire at Cyborg's left, and Beast Boy and Raven in the back.
"Titan's-," Robin began, but a blur of blue and white shoved him aside.
"Lady, you are SOOO DEAD!" yelled Cyborg, running at full speed, sonic cannon extended. "First, you ruin my day by blowing stuff up! THEN YOU BLOW UP MY CAR! YOU ARE GONNA REGRET THAT!"
"Regret?" the woman replied. "Well then, we'll see who'll be regretting what." She raised her right hand up towards him and the metal teen stopped in his tracks; black-red energy surrounded him entirely. Efforts of struggle were evident on Cyborg's face, but he still could not move.
"You chose a wrong day to mess with an Everto, and you shall pay your folly with your life!" Cyborg began rising into the air slowly, and he began to emit choking noises."
"Cyborg!" Robin yelled, and the titans advanced quickly to their friend's aid. The silver-haired woman responded to this with a swish of her other hand, which sent a large whip-like blast towards the four titans. One by one, the four titans were thrown into the walls behind them and covered in a dark red barrier.
"Don't worry, when I'm finished with your fool of a friend here, you'll have your own turn." Cyborg was raised higher into the air, and the energy around him grew more brighter and thicker. A cry of despair emitted from his mouth. His struggles began to lessen.
"Yes, give in to the pain. The sooner you die, the sooner I can get back to-," Two hands shot through the floor before she could finish, grabbed onto her ankles and pulled her under in a thundering crash. The field surrounding Cyborg dissipated, dropping his metal body to the ground, the impact making him groan. The barriers surrounding the others fell also, and they rushed to his side. Starfire got to him first.
"Friend, are you alright?" she asked, in a distressful voice. Cyborg answered with another groan. Clanging and explosions shook the building as an unseen battle took part in the basement.
Robin took command of the situation. "Starfire, take Cyborg out of here and see if you can get us help, everyone else, you're with me." Starfire hoisted Cyborg up with his arm and made way out of the museum as Robin, Raven, and Beast boy jumped through the hole into the basement.
Two figures attacked each other with a combination of melee and energy blasts, some blows connecting, others flying astray into a wall or support beam. "You cannot deny that you enjoyed the suffering that one had, said the woman with silver hair, amist the battle. "You may deny the facts for years to come, but in the end, Nurak will preside and you will be nothing."
The young man didn't answer, and three Titan's fell from the opening above to see the spectacle before them. "Last time to come in quietly you two!" yelled Robin over the uproar of sound from the fight.
"Uhhh, dude…, I don't think they can hear you." said Beast Boy.
"Alright then, we take them down. Raven, separate them!"
Raven muttered her mantra and black energy enveloped the two. The Goth moved her arms forcefully out to her sides, sending both of the combatants into adjacent walls.
Robin smiled. "Good work Raven. Beast Boy, lets move in!"
Raven however, was losing a mental battle holding them down. "Can't….hold…" Her face was strewn in concentration, every bit of her mind trying to keep the two held against the walls. Then, she felt a presence behind her. Whirling around, the wall behind her gave away and she was thrown back, smacking into Beast Boy and Robin. All three landed in a heap on the ground.
Raven's voice quipped up in the heap. "Ugh…. Beast Boy…"
"Uhh….yeah?" replied Beast Boy.
"You're ass is in my face."
"Both of you get off me!" yelled Robin.
The two combatants, now free from Raven's loss of concentration, glared at each other once more. Each stood firm, waiting for the other to make the next move. Then, both caught the shape of a massive creature heading toward them. The woman smiled.
"This is where you lose Tyan," she said in a dark cheerful tone. The young man turned to the new figure approaching them. It was gigantic, around 14 feet high, and built with muscle. Its skin was a murky blue, but had the same eyes as the woman, though the creature's hair was jet black and all over the place on its head. It also had four tentacles, two in front of its body and two on the back.
"So," said Tyan, "Long time no see, Kruak…" The behemoth answered by sending multiple bolts of dark energy at the young man. Tyan formed a blue barrier between him and the behemoth, bouncing the bolts harmlessly away. But then a sharp pain ripped through his lower back. The barrier fell away and he was pelted by several bolts, which pierced cleanly through him. Tyan slowly looked down to the source of pain. A tentacle dug through the infrastructure of the building and pierced through his back and out his chest. Blood flowing freely from his wounds, he dropped to the ground face first and twitching. The tentacle retracted back to its owner and the behemoth laughed wickedly. Then he turned to the woman. Seeing this, she bowed deeply to Kruak.
"My lord, I could have taken him myself."
"No, my Throlanna," Kruak answered in a powerful but whispery voice, "you were losing. And they do not tolerate failure with an important task of this. Fetch the stone and the device around his neck my adsecula."
The woman Throlanna, quickly nodded and hurried to Tyan's body. She kicked him hard in the side, rolling him onto his back and took the blood red stone from his belt under his cloak. Then, she removed the amulet around his neck. The amulet had a green stone in the middle, ancient runes carved into its surface. Done with the task, she blasted Tyan's body once with a bolt of energy. The young man made no sign of life. Satisfied with her master's work, she hurried back to him and handed them the items. Then three explosions impacted on the behemoth's back, making it lurch in pain. The three Titan's were up and about, and Robin had tossed his explosive disks into its back. Raven, taking bits and pieces of stone from the battle before, levitated them and sent them flying at Kruak and Throlanna. Throlanna took refuge by hiding behind her master and the giant summoned up a barrier to shield them from the onslaught. Beast Boy, began bounding towards them in a Tyrannosaurus Rex Charge.
"ENOUGH!" bellowed the giant. A wave of energy knocked all the Titans down (Beast Boy's human again), and red energy harnesses held all the titans down on the floor.
"Dude, not cool," said Beast Boy, squirming under his harnesses.
"Azarath Met-," Raven began, but another strand of energy covered her mouth. The giant chuckled.
"Better for you to stay quiet. You'll live a bit longer that way." It turned to Throlanna. "You done your duties well my adsecula. Your kin would be proud." The woman smiled.
Kruak continued, "I will bring the stone back to Solisar, and you may do whatever you wish to these three." He points to the Titan's one by one. "Make sure it's painful."
"Yes my lord," the woman replied, "but what of the necklace?"
The giant dropped the necklace on the ground and smashed it into pieces with his foot. "That object gave him the means to traverse the planes rapidly. It is to make sure he doesn't bother our plans adsecula." Kruak then began to sink into the ground.
"Yes my lord."
"And also, adsecula," Kruak said before his head sunk into the ground, "make sure you come back before four passes. Otherwise you'll be stuck here till the incoming slaughter." The giant then disappeared from view.
"Understood my lord" said Throlanna. She turned her attention to the three titans.
"Now, who'll be first to die?" said the woman with blood red eyes. She walked over to Beast Boy. "The green one? No. You'll be last. You are barely a threat." She walks over to Robin. "I think I'll kill you first, with that mouth of yours." Robin's mask widens as he struggles against his bindings as hard as he can, but to no avail. Throlanna grips her left hand and a shimmering red energy blade forms. The Boy Wonder's struggles intensifies at the sight of it, and Beast Boy and Raven watch in horror as the woman angled the blade toward Robin's heart.
"Goodbye" she stated simply as she brought the blade up. Robin shut his eyes in anticipation as he heard the blade whiz threw the air. The sound of flesh tearing echoed throughout the basement of the Museum. Robin opened his eyes. The woman was stumbling backwards away from him, a long sword with a bright blue pommel embedded through her chest. Robin's eyes darted towards the other end of the room where Tyan lay. He was standing, blood-soaked and right arm outstretched.
"…How?" Throlanna's last word poured weakly out of her mouth as she fell backwards unmoving. Tyan chuckled before he himself hit the floor. Rain began to trickle through the gaps in the rooftop and floor as three Titans, and two others lay unmoving on the cold cement.
