Teen Titans vs. the Sinister Six
Chapter 13: Mysterio's Menace
Starfire jumped out of the corner and fired her eye beams at the top section of the theater. Mysterio noticed and looks to see Starfire floating above the fire at least 10 yards away.
"You will stop hurting these people." Star said with her fists and eyes glowing green.
"Puny alien." Mysterio said. "You are no match for the powers of Mysterio."
"HELP US!" Shouted one of the eight people in the theater.
Starfire looked up and saw one of the eight people hanging onto the ledge of the theater. Across from him was a woman also hanging onto the ledge. Both are losing their grips due to the thick smoke that is filling up the theater. If they both lose their grips, they will fall 20 ft. to the flames below to their deaths. Not only that, but the flying drones are hovering above them. Star must make a decision: attack Mysterio or save the eight people.
"HELP!" Shouted the man again. "I'M SLIPPING!"
Suddenly, the man lost his grip and fell. Starfire flew as fast as she could and grabs the man in time.
"Please, I am here to help you." Starfire said to the man. "I'm taking you to the exit of second floor."
Starfire flew to the second floor balcony, which is safe. The man thanks Star and headed towards the exit. Starfire went to the woman who is suffering the same fate as the man. Star grabbed her and took her to the second floor balcony. The woman was safe and exited the theater.
"IF YOU DO NOT HURRY!" Mysterio shouted. "YOUR FELLOW HUMANS WILL BE DESTROYED WHILE YOU WASTE TIME!"
Starfire grabbed two more people and took them to safety. The last four were on the stage where Mysterio is standing. Starfire fired a star bolt to get Mysterio's attention but the bolt went right through him.
"Another hologram?" Starfire asked Mysterio.
"HA!" Mysterio said. "I MAY NOT SOIL MY HANDS WITH A PATHETIC ALIEN LIKE YOU!"
"YOU DARE CALL ME PATHETIC?"
Star gets angry fires 12 star bolts at the imposter Mysterio but came to no avail. She resists firing and continues to rescue the last four people. Once the theater was clear, Starfire focused her attention on the flying drones. She uses her bolts and eyebeams to destroy each of them easily.
Outside the mall, The Teen Titans (except Beast Boy) and Spider-Man arrived. Police, medics, and firefighters had blocked the entrances to the mall. Medics ran inside to help the injured while the firemen went inside with axes, fire hoses, oxygen tanks, and other useful equipment to put out the fire. Cyborg checks his forearm panel and tries to locate Star's location. The panel read that Star is located northeast of the mall.
"Starfire is still inside." Cyborg said to Robin.
"Then we're going in." Robin said. "TITANS! GO!"
The titans and Spider-Man ran inside the mall. Back to the theater, Star continues to fight the flying drones with her star bolts. After she destroys the last one, the hologram of Mysterio gave an angry snarl.
"A QUITE IMPRESSIVE GESTURE, ALIEN!" Mysterio said. "EVEN AS WE SPEAK, MY ARMY IS ADVANCING ON YOUR CITY! OUR FIRST TARGET WILL BE YOUR TOWER! BETTER HURRY, STARFIRE! MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Suddenly, the hologram fades away. The Titans and Spider-Man arrived from the second floor balcony. However, the balcony was filled with smoke that none of the heroes can see anything.
"STARFIRE!" Robin shouted.
Starfire heard Robin's yell and flew to the second floor. She appeared out of the smoke and into the arms of Robin.
"Oh friends." Starfire said. "You have made it."
"We're glad to see that you are okay Starfire." Robin said.
"Where's Mysterio?" Spider-Man asked.
"The Mysterio had vanished. He said that his army is attacking the tower."
"Say what?" Cyborg questioned.
"Are you serious?" Raven added.
"Yes. He is attacking our home and we must stop him."
"You heard her." Robin said. "Back to tower."
The Titans and Spider-Man headed back to the tower.
