Teen Titans vs. the Sinister Six
Chapter 10: The Beast Has Become the Hunted
The next day, the titans and Spidey were relaxing as they waited for another surprise attack from the Sinister Six. Beast Boy was reading a magazine called Moped Monthly. He was looking at some pictures of some cool and dull looking Mopeds. However, though, he doesn't have cash to buy one at all. He walks towards the garage where Cyborg was fixing his T-Car.
"Yo Cyborg!" Beast Boy called.
"Hey BB!" Cyborg replied. "What's up, man?"
"Dude, I need you to make me a moped."
"Huh? Why?"
"Well, I'm interested in mopeds and I know you made your car. So make me one. Please?"
"Sorry, BB. But you can fly and you don't even need one."
"Oh come on, Cy."
"I rest my case."
"Fine. I'll leave you alone."
BB leaves the garage disappointed while Cyborg remained in the garage fixing his car. BB walks to the living room where Spider-Man was sitting on the round couch reading a newspaper called The Jump City Courier. Beast Boy was pacing around and protesting behind Spidey.
"This is hopeless." BB said, "How am I suppose to get a moped? Cyborg won't even build one for me."
"Well you can always get a job and buy one." Spidey said to BB.
"Are you nuts? I tried that before when I worked at a meat restaurant and ended up being an alien ship ran by space tofu."
"Gee, I never knew that vegetables were that bad."
"So there must be another way dude. How can I get a moped?"
"Like I said. Get a job!"
"What kind of job is there?"
"I'm reading the Help Wanted section right now. I guess I just found you the right job for you."
"What?"
"It says 'Zookeeper wanted! Full-time job! $100 an hour for cleaning the Zoo! No experiences necessary!' What do you think BB?"
There was no response. Spidey looks around his surroundings of the living for BB. He turns to the door behind him and say it closed by itself. Spidey realizes that Beast Boy left for the job.
"Show off." Spidey said as he continues to read the paper.
Minutes later, Beast Boy arrived at the Jump City Zoo. He got accepted by the park manager and was granted the job.
"Well at least I get paid for this." BB said to himself.
Beast Boy thought it was going to be an easy job but it wasn't that easy. Thousands of people came to the park and dropped their trash everywhere. Animals needed to be fed and washed. It was a non-stop job with no breaks. This made Beast Boy disappointed but he is not leaving unless he gets enough money for his moped.
At 10:00 P.M., the zoo was closing and Beast Boy's final job was to clean the lions' area. With all safety precautions, all the lions were inside their dens to prevent any escapes or attacks on Beast Boy. Tall trees, grass, and bushes surrounded the lions' den. The only duty that BB had to do was to pick up the bones off the grass. Beast Boy was humming a song to himself as he did his job. But something bothered Beast Boy. He thought that someone was watching him. He stops and looks in the trees and the bushes to see if there was anyone but there was nobody insight. Beast Boy didn't worry about it until he finished his job. Once again, the thought that bothered BB resurfaced. He turns to his back and notices something on his chest – a laser. Beast Boy looks and sees a sniper gun pointed right at him from the trees. He screams in fear as the gun fires. He goes for cover in the bushes as the sniper misses his target.
"Who are you?" BB yelled at the bushes.
There was no response. Beast Boy walks out of the bushes but only to get caught in a bear trap. Beast Boy yells in pain as his right foot was caught between the metal jaws of the trap. Beast Boy tries his best to remove the trap but the pain was to excruciating. He heard footsteps coming right behind him. Beast Boy turns his head to the left and to his surprise, was Kraven the Hunter.
"Looks like the hunter has claimed his prize." Kraven laughed evilly.
"Kraven?" BB said. "What are you doing here?"
"I've been stalking you ever since you took your job."
"You…you did?"
"Yes. Now the beast has become the hunted."
"But why are you doing this?"
"Ha! Silly boy, I won't tell you about this."
Kraven reaches something out of his pocket. He took out a small dagger and hoisted up in the air.
"Say goodbye Beast Boy." Kraven said.
"NNOOOOOO!" BB yelled.
Kraven was about to swing the dagger when…it got yanked away by a web line. Kraven was shocked to discover this. He turns around to see…Spider-Man and the Teen Titans.
"Sorry, Kraven." Robin said. "But hunting season is over."
"The Teen Titans and the web head." Kraven said. "So nice of you to arrive to save your friend. But it looks like the damage is done."
Kraven reaches for something else in his pocket. He took out a smoke grenade.
"Ta Ta." He said as he pulls the pin and vanishes. The titans and Spidey didn't care about that. Cyborg removes the bear trap from BB's bloody leg and carries him to the T-Car.
"We need to take Beast Boy to the infirmary." Robin said. "We need to get him stitched up."
