Chapter 3 Sewer Smell

"I am confused, friends," Starfire said as they walked up to the elevator door. "Where are we going?"

"Last night Krew gave us a mission to take out a few guns in the sewers," Daxter said with a bored sigh. "But we did not do it right away because I needed my precious sleep, and Jak here wanted to know if you were up yet."

"Who is this 'Krew' you speak of?" Starfire asked her new found fuzzy friend. The doors to the elevator opened up and the two stepped in. Right away the smell of the gross sewer water attacked all three of their noses.

"I'm working for him so he can give me information about the Baron," Jak said. He wrinkled his nose at the disgusting smell as the elevator took them under the city. The sewers were a perfect way to smuggle things because different pathways lead everywhere and it was easy to get lost if you did not know where you were going. It was a great place for Krew to smuggle things from the Wasteland. But once the Baron put motion sensor machine guns in the main chambers, the smuggling had to be put on hold. That is why Jak had been sent to take them all down. He was the only guy willing to do so at the moment.

"I see," Starfire said with a stiff nod. "Torn has told me what the Baron has been doing to your city. It is truly dreadful. I am sorry."

"You don't even know the half of it, sweetheart," Daxter muttered. Starfire noticed that both boys looked straight ahead with their own dark thoughts. They knew exactly what cruel things the Baron was doing to the poor city. They had even experienced it.

"Time to get to work," Jak finally said to break the odd silence. He took out his scatter gun with a wicked smile spreading across his face. He winked to Starfire, and she gave him a shy smile as she felt herself blush a little. The door to the elevator opened up and the smell hit them full force along with some nasty creatures.

Jak had the element of surprise on the few giant tadpole like creatures hanging around the entrance. Before they could look his way, the Elf had fired his gun a few shots. The blasts echoed around the dimly lit chamber. The creatures started to advance toward the three with growls of anger.

Starfire hovered a foot off the ground as her eyes and hands started to glow. With a few small battle yells she threw her starbolts at the creatures coming towards her and her new friends. They were quickly dead, and the girl came back down to the ground with a tiny smile of victory on her lips.

"You did not tell us you could do that, cutie!" Daxter yelled at her with surprise in his voice. Jak stared at her with astonishment. They were both kind of shocked at her superpowers.

Starfire could feel her cheeks turn red once again as she smiled and said innocently, "Sorry. I can fly and shoot starbolts from my eyes and hands. But you still like me, right?"

"Of course, Starfire!" Jak said with a wry smile. "Why wouldn't we?"

Starfire looked to the floor with a shrug. "Some people think that I would be weird," she said.

"You are nothing compared to Jak," Daxter said. Jak gave his furry friend a dirty glare to make him shut up about that matter. Sadly, Daxter did not know how to shut up. "He turns into this freaky dark eco demon like thing that scares the freaking crap out of some. But it is so awesome and comes in handy when a bunch of Krimson Guards or Metal Heads are after you."

Before Starfire could say something, Jak stormed off down the hallway with a sour look on his face. "What?" Starfire could hear Daxter ask his friend. She followed closely behind her Elf friend and stayed quiet. He seemed mad at something, and she did not want to say the wrong thing to him.

They walked down the metal chamber while trying to block out the overwhelming smell of the sewer. Daxter felt like he was going to pass out from it because of his over sensitive nose. The thought of the smell quickly vanished as they heard the sound of the first gun shooting.

Starfire started to hover off the ground absent mindedly. Daxter and Jak gave her an odd look as the Osttel said to her, "You might not want to do that in public, Star. It would freak a lot of people out." Starfire looked over to him with confusion in her deep green eyes.

"Let's just get this mission out of the way," Jak said while holding his gun up. "The first machine gun sounds like it is close." They all nodded and started to jog down the hallway. They came up to a vertical chamber that lead to other chambers like the one they were in. One small walkway let them go to another chamber where the shots were being heard from. Every three seconds a round of laser bullets ripped out of the chamber and slammed into the brick wall.

"Looks like fun," Daxter said sarcastically. Jak smiled slyly as he glanced up to his friend. They ran down the pathway to the other chamber. The sound of the machine gun blasted into their ears and echoed around the rest of the sewer tunnels as if to ward off all who came near.

"Ready, set, go!" Jak yelled quickly before Daxter or Starfire could figure out a plan to take down the gun. Jak jumped out of his cover after putting his gun away. Daxter gave a sharp yell as he cursed Jak's hastiness. Starfire gasped. She thought for sure her new Elf friend would get creamed!

She looked out from her cover to see the skilled Elf work his magic. He had a grace about him as he duck rolled out of the way of bullets then jump out of the way of others. It was a mystery how Daxter stayed on the young man's shoulder that whole time. When Jak was near the machine gun, he took out his own gun at and barely had time to take aim before shooting. The machine gun blew up in one big ball of fire and debris flew into the air.

"Glorious!" Starfire yelled happily as she flew up to Jak. She hugged him for his victory against the machine gun. Jak's cheeks flushed the color of red at the girl's actions. Her alien strength started to crush his bones, and his embarrassment quickly changed into panic as he could not breathe.

"Star!" he gasped. "Air!"

"Oh!" Starfire said as she let go of him with a sorry look on her face. She often did that to others at home. "I am most sorry. I am stronger than I look."

"Pift!" Daxter said with the wave of his paw. "Who cares? But how 'bouts a small victory kiss for your favorite orange Osttel?" He tapped his furry cheek with an index finger with a goofy grin spreading across his face.

Starfire giggled and gave him a small kiss. Jak shook his head at his friend's actions. Daxter had not changed at all for those two years they had been apart. But Jak had changed greatly. He was more dark and mysterious. One of the big things that changed was that he could now talk. He was not that little mute kid anymore. Daxter and Jak had only rejoined for a few days after being separated for two whole years. Once Daxter got to know the new Jak would they still be good friends? This question bothered Jak deeply. He often thought about it.

"On to the next gun," Jak muttered as he started to walk away from Starfire. The girl flew in the air next to them, and it was an odd sight for the two to see the girl flying.

They came to an underground river of sewer water. Jak jumped to the different round platforms in the disgusting water. The same type of creatures they had taken down at the elevator were now swimming around in the nasty water and just waiting for one of the three to fall in.

The three made it to the other side of the water and started to walk on the narrow pathway with metal cage fencing blocking them from going deeper into broken down tunnels. Starfire looked into them and gave a small shiver. Her feet touched the ground and she started to walk with Jak as her emotions lost all happy thoughts. The place was creeping her out.

Suddenly a Metal Head slammed into the metal fencing next to Starfire and Jak. All three of them screamed out of fright as the thing smacked into the fence. Starfire grabbed onto Jak's arm with her eyes wide with fear. This knocked Jak off balance. Daxter fell off his shoulder with a sharp yell of surprise and fell into the water with a big splash.

"Dax!" Jak yelled as he got to his knees and stuck out his hand for the animal to grab hold of it.

Before anyone could get his or her head on straight, one the swimming creatures grabbed Daxter's tail by its sharp teeth and pulled Daxter down into the water. There was a pause as both Jak and Starfire stared down into the water with shock.

Jak swore under his breath as he took off his shirt and armor. He glanced to Starfire and said quickly, "Kill the stupid Metal Head. I'll be back with Dax." With that said, Jak jumped into the air and did a graceful dive into the brown water with a small splash.

Starfire killed the attacking Metal Head that was trying desperately to get to her through the wire. Starfire then looked to the water with worry as she held her breath. They were under the water for way too long! Were they dead? The alien girl wanted to cry.

At the last moment, Jak's head popped up on the surface of the water with a deep gasp for breath. He threw a soaked Daxter at Starfire, and she caught the half conscious Osttel in her hands. She looked to Jak with wide eyes and saw him trying to swim away from the creature in the water. He was defenseless against the unhappy animal that just lost his meal.

"My gun!" he yelled up to Starfire. The girl quickly set Daxter down and finished the creature off herself. With a loud battle cry, she flung a big starbolt at the thing about to bite her Elf friend. The thing let out a dying screech before it stopped moving and floated on top of the water dead.

"Are you undamaged?" Starfire asked Jak as she pulled him out of the water easily with her alien strength. She set him down as he tried to regain his senses. He nodded with a small smile.

"Thanks," he said. He looked over to Daxter with a wide grin spreading over his face. The animal was shivering with a sour look planted on his face. "Next time tell me when you want to take a swim, Dax," Jak joked with him.

"Daxter wanted to swim in that water?" Starfire asked Jak while glancing at the water.

"No, it was a joke," Jak said while shaking his head. She sure was a weird one!

"That was so gross!" Daxter said. "I stink so bad!"

"Should we go on with this mission, friends?" Starfire asked them with concern in her voice.

"Yep!" Jak said with a nod. He flashed her a smile as he forced himself to his feet. He pulled his shirt and armor back on. "Aren't you coming, Dax?" he asked his fuzzy friend who was looking at him a little fearfully.

"Maybe it would be safer on her shoulder," Daxter said while shoving his thumb in Starfire's direction.

Jak's spirit fell as he stared at Daxter for a few seconds. He had been right. It seemed like Daxter did not like the new Jak very much. He tried not to show his emotions on his face as he tried to smile down at his old friend. He decided to let it pass by joking around with Daxter.

"Her shoulder seems really safe," Jak said sarcastically. "She flies and shoots lasers out of her hands."

Daxter looked back and forth from Jak to Starfire. He slowly contemplated the situation carefully. He finally climbed back up to Jak's shoulder with a grin spreading over his face. "I'll choose the landlubber. No offense, Star."

Starfire smiled at him sweetly but her mind was somewhere else. She saw the pain in Jak's eyes when Daxter had first refused to ride on his shoulder. There was sadness in them. But why? From what she could see, the two were really tight. Kind of like Cyborg and Beast Boy. She knew Daxter well enough by now to know that he had been joking a little. Then how come Jak looked so hurt inside?

She never got to think much of the question because they could hear the shooting of the next gun. Her mind quickly went back into mission mode.

- Cyborg -

Keira whistled loudly as Cyborg got done telling his story in detail on how his team got there. They were both sitting on a work bench in Keira's small garage next to the stadium. Both held a cup of some dark purple liquid that tasted and smelled very similar to coffee.

"So you have nowhere to go?" she asked Cyborg with wonder in her voice.

"Yep," Cyborg said. "You do believe me, right?"

Keira nodded her head and said, "Erol has been on the lookout for you short eared people. He will gladly take you in to stay at the Palace."

"Really?" Cyborg asked with a smile coming to his face. He thought for sure that he would be left homeless if Keira refused to take him in for a few days. "That would be great!" He paused then asked her, "Did you say palace? And who is this Erol?"

"Yeah," she said with another nod. "Erol is the leader of all Krimson Guards and right hand man of the Baron. He is also one of the best zoomer racers I've ever seen. You'll like him! He should be showing up in a few hours."

"So he has been looking for people who look like me?" Cyborg asked her with deep confusion in his voice. "Why? Does he know that my friends and I would suddenly show up?"

"He did not tell me very much," Keira said with a small shrug. She looked the ceiling with those big green eyes of hers in thought. "He said that there was some prophecy about five short eared teens would come to this world and help save it. We do have all those Metal Heads attacking us. Maybe your superhero team was meant to come here to help us fight back and win this war against them."

Cyborg thought deeply on what she had just said. He wished he had his team with him right now. Robin would have an answer to all their problems in only the matter of seconds. Starfire would be her cheery self as Raven would sit in a corner just to support the team. Beast Boy would say a few corny jokes here and there. He missed them already.

Suddenly there was a knock on Keira's garage door. She jumped off the bench and pressed a button on the wall to open the door for her visitor. The door slid open and there was Erol himself with Raven by his side. There was surprise for a few seconds as they all expressed shocked faces.

"Raven!" Cyborg yelled as he wrapped his arms around her in a great bear hug that Raven did not share with him. He quickly let go of her with his cheeks turning slightly red for a few seconds. "Sorry," he said with a nervous grin spreading over his face. "I was just worried about the team. I'm so glad to see that you're okay."

Raven gave him a big smile to show him that she did not mind the hug too much and that she understood his expression of happiness. She was kind of surprised that she smiled that big. She usually did not show that much emotion in front of anyone. Maybe she just missed her team.

"I'm guessing that this is one of your friends," Erol said to Raven as he saw the two smile at each other out of relief.

"Yes," Raven answered with a nod. She then quickly introduced the boys to each other. "Erol, this is Cyborg. Cyborg, this is the Krimson Guard Commander, Erol. The leader of this city, Baron Praxis, has ordered Erol to find and take care of the Teen Titans."

"Cool," Cyborg said with a warm grin. "Keira was just talking about Erol."

The two team members did not notice Erol give Keira a wink. Her cheeks turned a hint of pink as she smiled shyly at the Elf. It took a moment for Raven to feel the vibe between the two Elves. For some reason it was harder for her to sense vibes with Elves. But the vibe coming from Keira was defiantly something along the lines of love. A flare of jealousy sparked up inside of her. She shook the feeling away and was confused with herself. She hoped that she was not getting feelings for the same Elf.

"Tomorrow we need to go look for your other friends, Raven," Erol said as the four sat down in the garage to talk about the situation at hand. "I think all of you were separated. The other three could be anywhere in the city. So we need to send out a search party for them."

"I hope these friends of yours are okay," Keira said while giving Cyborg a faint sweet smile.

"I know Robin and Star could easily take care of themselves," Cyborg said with a shrug. "I'm just worried about BB."

"They all could be in danger," Raven said. "They don't know anything about this world." A thought hit her and she turned to Erol with a worried expression on her face. "What if one of them joins the Underground?"

"The what?" Cyborg asked. He was left in the dust.

"I had been thinking just that," Erol said in deep thought. "You said that Robin was the leader of your team. If we find him, the others are sure to follow right? Is he a good leader?"

"Don't question Robin's leadership," Cyborg said. "He is a perfect leader for our team. None of us have doubt about his decisions." He did not mention that one time where they did think that he had cracked and had gone insane. They had all thought that their leader was mad and seriously questioned him being leader at the time. But it just ended up that the teen had been hallucinating because of some dust that Slade had on his mask. But no one on the team would ever be able to forget that they had betrayed Robin at the time, but he had also betrayed them as well.

"So our main goal should be to find Robin," Erol said. "Don't worry about the others joining the Underground because I'm sure that they will just follow the leader."

"What is the Underground?" Cyborg asked Erol.

"A group of Elves against the Baron," Erol answered quickly. He stood up and put his hands on his hips to command attention from the group. "I'm going to take Raven and Cyborg back to the palace right now. Tomorrow we both look for Robin and the others. I'll send out a search party tonight. Keira, tell me if you see anyone with short ears around here. Let's go."

Raven and Cyborg nodded and followed Erol out of the garage after saying a few goodbyes to the girl mechanic. "If you need fixing, Cyborg," she called after them. "I might be able to help."

"Thanks!" Cyborg yelled back with a smile. She was sweet and very helpful. Without her, Cyborg would still be knocked out. She had to be a really good mechanic to work with Earth stuff that was totally alien to her. Maybe she could fix him all the way up so he would be able fight.

"Have you tried to contact Robin with your communicator, Raven?" Cyborg asked his friend as the three started to walk back to the palace. "I can't because my power cell had been burned out. Keira made me a different one, so I can only do a limited of things."

"I tried, but this world does not let them work," Raven answered with a small sigh. "We will just have to search for the others. I really hope that they are all okay."

A/N: Okay, I'm really sorry that the ending of the chapter was extremely boring! I just had to explain a few things and get it ready for the next chapter. I'm also sorry if the chapter was a bit short. But please give a review! Thanks!
