On the beach along the shoreline.
"The last person," said Terra, "I would ever expect to show up, shows up. Man, this in one screwed up day and for the life of me I don't know why."
Terra's history with the True Master, Chu-hui, is vague at best. As most people would already know, Terra had spent most of her life a wanderer. It was only through mere coincidence that she met the True Master and came to live with her for a short period of time as well as pick up a few tricks in martial arts.
In the Far East, Terra came to Chu-hui's village from the northern countries as an exile and a runaway. A villager found her by chance in forest close to the village, unconscious from exhaustion and lack of food. She was brought to the village and was cared for. It wasn't long before she revealed the fact that she wasn't a normal human being.
The True Master, Chu-hui, came to Terra's aide there. She offered her help to Terra and the blonde teen readily accepted. She spent much time on the mountain peak where the True Master trained her students. She made friends with three guardians of the mountain and soon became very profound in martial arts.
Things seemed to be perfect for Terra but an incident involving some unknown aggressors made Terra's situation turn to worse. A group of bandits attacked the village. Terra did her best to rid the village of these aggressors and actually succeeded for the most part. Unfortunately, her powers went out of control and caused some damage and even hurt somebody.
Even though the damage was not that bad and nobody was seriously hurt. Terra felt very bad about herself. The village had generally forgiven her for her little mishap and even thanked her for ridding them of the bandits but Terra's own insecurities would not allow her to accept the praise. She soon left the village and though Chu-hui objected, the True Master could not convince her student otherwise.
Terra was again on the road. After a while she had cleared the continent and found herself in the western world. The rest is history.
Terra was seated on a fallen rock inside the half-dome cavern in the rock face. The fallen rock was actually her fault since her recent tantrum had caused a lot of rocks to fall as well as giving the rock face she was in an impromptu cave. To make the day even stranger was the old woman who was seated on another rock a couple of feet away from her.
That woman was Chu-hui known only to some as the True Master. As Terra had already mentioned, Master Chu-hui was the last person she had ever expected to actually show-up. After all, what are the chances that one of the world's greatest masters of martial arts would just happen to be half-way around the world from where she was supposed to be?
"You should be more appreciative of an old woman's company, you know," said Chu-hui, "Can you be any more rude than you already are?"
"Believe me, Master," said Terra, "If you had the day I've had, I'm sure you'd be a little rude yourself."
"Ohh? Then can you enlighten me?"
"It's nothing you'd be interested in."
"You underestimate my ability to listen, young lady."
Terra didn't say a word.
Chu-hui sighed. "I see you've not changed from our last meeting. Just like those long past days, you were always so quiet and repressed, never letting anyone get a glimpse of your thoughts. You were never like any of my other students."
"Master, I was nothing like your other students. None of your other students could just simply stand on a rock and fly to the peak of the mountain. Heck, if I wanted to, I could've made the peak of that mountain come down to me."
"You were special."
"I was a freak."
"I would rather not hear my own student refer to themselves as such, if you don't mind."
"My three best friends on that mountain were a talking bear, a talking monkey, and a talking snake. I'm pretty sure not a lot of people would consider that being normal, Master…"
"Taking shame in your past will only lead you doubt your future."
Terra laughed. "Heh, my future. There's an interesting case study."
"This humors you?"
"You wouldn't understand, I told you that already. Wait, what are you even doing here? you never answered my question."
"Same reason as you…" the True Master took in a deep breath, "I love the sea breeze, it's so relaxing."
A vein popped in Terra's temple. "You know that's not what I'm asking. I'm asking why would you be half-way around the world from where you lived. Aren't martial arts masters supposed to be anti-social secluded dudes who live on mountain peaks and talk to trees and--"
"Do not dare compare me to those idiotic stereotypes lest I pound you with my cane, child!"
"Heh, case in point… So what are your reasons for being here then?"
"Does one need a reason to visit family?"
"Family? You have a family here?"
"Yes, I do. Do you not remember?"
"Oh wait, yeah. I do remember. You did say you have family living here…"
Terra knew the story well. The story was told to her by her master, Chu-hui, which regarded her life's story. Chu-hui was once part of a large family. Chu-hui grew up with a semi-lavish lifestyle since her family was part of the upper class. But, when she got into martial arts she developed a passion for it and did everything in accordance with mastering it. Despite the fact that all her mastering has distanced her from her family, she did a fine job of keeping ties with them.
Every once and a while, a family member would visit her village and sometimes she herself would go out of the village and meet her family members where they live. Today seemed to be the latter case. Chu-hui then explained to Terra that she came to this country to visit a grandnephew who she knew was having some issues. Her meeting with Terra was nothing but a complete coincidence.
"In the continuous journey that is life," said Chu-hui, "one is always pressed to move forward. However, one must never forget one's roots for they are one's identity. One would be lost without identity…"
Terra looked at the sand on her feet. "Roots… tsk…"
"Again, you humor at the subject, young lady. Maybe there is something that we should discuss. I think that would be best."
"Damn, not again… There's nothing to talk about! Why can't people just drop it and leave me alone?
"From the way you sound, it seems that there is plenty to talk about."
"No there isn't! You wouldn't understand! Nobody would understand… Why am I even talking to you like this? I'm not even your student for gods' sake…"
"Oh? How is that?"
"How is what?"
"You're not my student, you say. But I see you and you have the same face, the same body, and the same rude disposition to your elders. You are my student."
"No, Master, I am not. I'm…something else."
"…Care to explain to an old woman?"
"It wouldn't do you much good…"
"How would you know if you won't even try?"
Terra sighed exasperatingly. She knew enough about Chu-hui to know that at that point she would not let the subject go no matter what Terra might ever say to her. So, Terra started to explain.

In the mountain ranges outside the city.
The five members of the Titans East have gathered near the base of the peak known as False Vulcan. They were familiar with the mountain and its particular history. It has been sort of a signature mark for Steel City. They have also visited the site a couple of times in the past. They never would have expected that at that very moment, the mountain would be hiding what could be the most dangerous weapon on Earth to date.
The Titans gathered on a small cliff where the slope of the mountain met the end of the forest surrounding it. In front of them was the rising slope of the mountain and behind them was a drop-off into the forest below. They were there on a search mission but what exactly were they searching for was up for debate. They came here only through rough information that was gathered through a captured henchman. Being that as it may, they still went out on blind trust of the henchman's information.
After all, even unreliable information is better than no information, the Titans' experiences would attest to that. Even if they couldn't confirm the information right away it was that they had to act on. Plus, they had another more pressing obstacle: time. Now that the super weapon GeoHammer was nearing completion and they were pressed for time.
"You guys find anything yet?" inquired Bumble Bee.
"Somos sorry decir que no hemos encontrado algo sospechoso," said the twins.
"I haven't seen anything, either," said Aqualad.
"Same here," said Speedy, "This is turning out to be a lousy night."
"There are still some areas we haven't searched yet," said Bumble Bee, "We have to keep going, the fate of the world hangs in the balance."
"Since when has it not?…" said Speedy.
Suddenly a rumbling in the ground caught the Titans' attention. The Titans nearly lost their balance as the sudden and localized quake escalated as if the epicenter was rising to the surface. Moments later, it did. On the edge of the clearing behind the Titans, an explosion of dirt and grass shot up into the air. As soon as the cloud of dust cleared the Titans craned their heads to see what it was.
Standing near a freshly made hole in the ground, a gigantic humanoid machine in black and yellow armor loomed over the Titans East. Its left arm had a drill bit that was still spinning at a high velocity. In side the vertical cockpit of the machine grinned menacingly down at the Titans who in turn prepared themselves for battle.
"A stonecutter!" exclaimed Bumble Bee, "Be careful guys, that thing's tough, real tough!"
"There's only one of it," said Aqualad, "I sort of expected a bit more from the likes of Blood and Chang."
Just as Aqualad finished his statement more rumbling emanated from the soil beneath them. Two more explosions of dirt and grass came from behind the Titans. The Titans took a moment to look behind them. Two more stonecutters stood next to freshly made holes.
Speedy gave an annoyed glare at Aqualad, "Again, you just had to say something, didn't you?"
The first stonecutter charged at them. The stonecutters left drill arm was thrust to the ground in an attempt mince the Titans. All five of them scrambled in different directions. Bumble Bee and Speedy jumped backwards while Aqualad and the twins jumped to their sides.
Speedy and Bumble Bee who ended up close together began unleashing their arsenal at the first stonecutter. Speedy shot a couple of explosive arrows while Bumble Bee shot rapidly with her twin stingers. The attacks did very little to damage the stonecutter's heavy armor. In side the cockpit, the pilot grinned cockily.
Speedy and Bumble Bee then noticed a rumbling sound behind them. They looked and found the second stonecutter was upon them and ready to bring down its drill arm to where they stood. As the drill arm of the second stonecutter came down, Bumble Bee took to the air and Speedy rolled to the side.
While in the air, Bumble Bee began to fire on the second stonecutter with bolts from her twin stingers. But, just like the first, the armor took little damage. Wile she was distracted trying to fight the second stonecutter from the air, Bumble Bee failed to notice the third stonecutter aiming its right claw arm at her.
Without warning, the claw of the third stonecutter's right arm launched itself into the air and flew towards Bumble Bee. Trailing the flying claw was a long, steel cable that was being fed through the forearm and attached to the claw itself. The claw flew all the way to Bumble Bee's level. It made contact and clamped down on Bumble Bee's ankle. Bumble Bee was caught off-guard.
Suddenly the cord tightened and Bumble Bee found herself being reeled in like a fish from the water. She was unable to help herself so someone had to do it for her.
"Hey, dude!" exclaimed Aqualad as he charged from the side, "Show the lady some manners!"
Aqualad rushed in towards the preoccupied stonecutter. The pilot of the stone cutter noticed too late and was promptly shook out of his focus when Aqualad launched himself into the air and came back down with a kick to the stonecutter's right shoulder. The shock of the impact caused the stonecutter's claw to release Bumble Bee. Bumble Bee flew off to safety as Aqualad squared off with the third stonecutter.
Meanwhile, Speedy was having troubles dealing with the second and the first coming at him simultaneously. The first came at Speedy, trying to grab him with its claw and failing to do so as Speedy jumped back. Speedy quickly countered with an explosive arrow. The arrow was blocked be the first stonecutter's drill arm.
The second stonecutter charged at Speedy while he was in this vulnerable state. But just as the stonecutter was about to grab Speedy with it claw, Más and Menos stepped in from nowhere and began running circles around the giant ape-like machine, creating a blurry red and white circle as well as kicking up a lot of dust creating a cloud of it. This cloud left the pilot of the stonecutter blind and relatively helpless.
Speedy prepared himself again but was soon under the mercy of the first stonecutter that was charging him again. Speedy managed to dodge the charging machine by sliding to the side at the last second. Due to momentum, the stonecutter could not stop itself on a dime. A fact that Bumble Bee took advantage of.
Bumble Bee came swooping down and shooting with her stingers. But she wasn't aiming for the stonecutter itself, instead she was aiming at the ground beneath its feet. Her plow worked. The stonecutter tripped on a freshly made pothole courtesy of Bumble Bee's stingers. The gigantic machine fell forward and slid on the ground for a short distance before coming to rest.
"Well," said Bumble Bee, "the bigger they are…"
Bumble Bee looked around and saw that Speedy and the twins were fairly holding their own against the second stonecutter. She looked behind her and saw that Aqualad was having a bit of trouble with third stonecutter. Bumble Bee rushed to help out Aqualad.
Back at Speedy's side, the twins were still running circles around the stonecutter. The stonecutter was desperately swinging its drill arm without having much success. Speedy took this time to load another specialized arrow onto his bow. Speedy then waited for the opportune moment. It came soon enough.
At one point, the twins stopped in order to sort of mock the pilot of the stonecutter. The twins stood still for a moment, Más was picking his nose while Menos was cleaning his ear with his index finger. The pilot of the stonecutter fumed. The pilot raised the left arm, drill bit spinning, and thrust it back down towards the twins.
The twins didn't move until the last possible nanosecond when the dashed to the side in a blur of white and red. The drill bit missed them completely and dug deep into the ground. This was the opportune moment Speedy was waiting for. He shot his arrow at the place where the drill bit met the ground. The arrow was soon revealed to be a freeze arrow as it completely encased the drill bit in solid ice. The stonecutter was now stuck on the ground through its drill arm.
"That'll hold you," said Speedy, "Más, and Menos, go help out the others!"
"Sí, ¡podemos!" replied the twins.
The twins rushed towards where Aqualad and Bumble Bee were fighting with the third stonecutter. Speedy was about to run in after them but was suddenly stopped in his tracks when his vision suddenly flashed for a split-second. As soon as he opened his eyes again, he found that there was nothing left to look at as he was suddenly staring down an empty void.
Meanwhile, Aqualad was having trouble trying to get free from the stonecutter's grip while Bumble Bee was knocked down on the ground. Somewhere in the middle of their fight the stonecutter found an opening and had Aqualad clamped down in its claw and was now steadily crushing the Atlantean. Bumble Bee came in and was promptly swatted by chance of the drill arm. She was stunned but fairly uninjured. It would've been hopeless for Aqualad had he not have a few friends at hand.
Inside the cockpit of the third stonecutter, the pilot was grinning in cockiness. That grinned quickly turned into a gape of shock when Más and Menos suddenly appeared hanging onto the canopy, grinning ridiculously at the pilot. The sudden appearance of the twins caught the pilot off-guard and forced him to stumble backwards and at the same time let go of Aqualad.
Aqualad dropped safely to the ground. The twins were still hanging on to the canopy mockingly grinning and sticking their tongues out. Try as he might, the hapless pilot couldn't maneuver his large robotic arms in order to remove the annoying twins. This gave Aqualad some time to recover along with Bumble Bee who was just getting up.
Bumble Bee noticed the situation with the twins and the stonecutter and tried to think of a way to help. She flew to the air hoping to be able to make some airborne strike down at the distracted stonecutter. She was distracted herself as a she suddenly found herself in the hold of another claw. Looking down, she saw that the first stonecutter, the one she tripped, was back up on its feet and was reeling her in. However, she was ready for it.
To escape from the grip of the claw, she shrunk herself to the size of a grain of rice and promptly flew off. The pilot of the stonecutter was somewhat surprised to find that he was gripping nothing but air when his claw came back. Bumble Bee returned to her normal size in mid-air. The pilot looked up and saw the Titan leader grinning down at him. The pilot grumbled to himself.
Bumble Bee then noticed a bright flame shooting out of the back end of the stonecutter. She seemed curious for a bit then soon came to realization when she remembered one crucial fact about the stonecutters: the have jet packs.
The stonecutter launched into the air. Bumble was nearly swiped by the stonecutter's swinging drill arm. Bumble Bee managed to evade at the last second. She distanced herself to ensure she had enough room to maneuver while keeping her twin stingers at ready. The stonecutter and Bumble Bee were in an air battle.
Back on the ground, Speedy was having his own problems. In fact, he wasn't even sure where he was anymore. In his mind's eye he was somewhere else.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
Somewhere else…
Speedy stood on a rock crag that seemed to be in the middle of nowhere. He looked around him and all he saw were towering rocks across a vast wasteland of gray earth. Speedy looked up. The sky above him was of an unnatural color. He pondered on a number of theories as to how he could have possibly ended up alone in such a place while he was just fighting alongside his friend just ten seconds ago.
He found that looking around was a pointless task. There was nothing around him worth being interested in. he moved his train of thoughts from trying to figure out how he got here to trying to figure out how he can get out of here. He could already tell it would not be simple.
"Such it is human nature that we are so lost in a world unfamiliar," a female voice suddenly came out of nowhere.
Speedy nearly jumped when he heard that voice. He couldn't figure out where it had come from. From where he stood, it was as if the voice came from all directions at once, including the inside of his head.
"Who are you?" inquired Speedy into the empty air.
"Me?" said the voice, "I am but a humble maiden…"
"Wait a minute… you're that girl who's called 'Fallacy' aren't you?"
"So you've heard of me, I see. But I know a lot about you too, O Masked archer…"
"Let me out of this place, now!"
"Begging your pardon, Masked archer, but I believe that you are in no position to make any sot of threats. You are in my domain now. You will not escape unless I permit you to escape…"
"When I get my hands on you, I'll--"
"As I said, you are in no position to do anything at the moment. So I would recommend that you simply stay put for the time being."
Speedy was stuck. He couldn't do anything at all. He knew that all he needed was one moment of opportunity. All she has to do is to show a moment of vulnerability and he might find an avenue of escape. But how could he attack her if he can't even see her? That question was about to be answered.
"Maybe I should entertain you personally so that you don't get bored…"
Speedy's ears pricked. That time, the voice came from only one direction. Speedy quickly turned his head in the corresponding direction of the voice. He saw Fallacy seated atop a nearby rock, looking coyly back at him. Speedy reacted in an instant by preparing a snare arrow. Living up to his namesake, Speedy aimed and fired the arrow in less than a tenth of a second.
Speedy's snare arrow flew up at Fallacy.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
Speedy's snare arrow flew up at Bumble Bee.
Bumble Bee was too busy squaring off with the airborne stonecutter to notice. She was totally off-guard when the snare arrow suddenly ensnared her in an unbreakable Kevlar rope net. The impact didn't hurt her but was enough to stun her. She fell to the ground in a daze.
"Oof!"
The stonecutter landed next to her. The pilot in side grinned knowing that he had won the battle by default. Aqualad saw what had happened to Bumble Bee through his peripheral vision again. He looked towards Speedy. As soon as he looked at Speedy his head ached all of the sudden.
"Dah!
The sting on his head was oddly familiar. Aqualad was already trying to remember where he had felt the exact same sensation. His memory brought back the moments of last night when Terra was captured. That time when his telepathic abilities detected a disturbance. It was Fallacy.
It mad sense now. Speedy was under influence of Fallacy's powers. He attacked Bumble Bee by complete accident. Aqualad tried to call out to Speedy to some how snap him back to his senses.
"Speedy!" Aqualad exclaimed, "It's Fallacy, she's tricking you! Don't fall for her--!"
Too late. Speedy was already loading another arrow onto his bow and he now aimed for Aqualad. Aqualad's pupils shrunk.
"Not again…" he mumbled.
Speedy fired the arrow. In a similar fashion as Bumble Bee, Aqualad was ensnared a Kevlar net and was stunned to the ground.
Meanwhile, the twins were still having fun annoying the pilot of the last stonecutter. A sudden 'whump' sound that came from the top of the stone cutter grabbed their attention. As the twins looked up, they saw a mech-ranger with his sword held at ready. The mech-ranger swung down at the twins. The twins yelped and jumped backwards and off the stonecutter's canopy in order to avoid the blade.
They fell to the ground on their butts. They looked up and they saw the mech-ranger had leapt off the stonecutter and came down again with a slash. The twins yelped again and rolled away from each other in order to keep their limbs. They both rolled a distance before getting back up on their feet. With the mech-ranger in between them, they didn't have access to their powers.
Más and Menos had the same idea of running around the mech-ranger so that they could come into contact with each other. But they were never able to execute their plan since they were both grabbed by the collar from behind by two other mech-rangers that just happened to show up. They were now helpless as they were lifted into the air, hanging by the mech-rangers' grip.
"Bien, esto no es bueno..." said the twins.
By that Time Speedy was finally waking up. He rubbed his eyes as the spell that he was in finally dissipated. He quickly examined the situation around him It didn't take a genius to know that the situation around him was bleak. Very bleak.
Speedy was about to rush in and help out his comrades but was suddenly grabbed from behind by another mech-ranger that appeared out of nowhere. The mech-ranger had Speedy in a bear hug and wasn't letting go anytime soon. Speedy, like the rest of his teammates, was now helpless. By now Aqualad and Bumble Bee were just recovering and also finding themselves helpless.
Moments later, Fallacy came out of nowhere snickering to herself. "O, how the mighty have fallen…"
Fallacy managed to grab the attention of all the Titans. They met her glace with accusing glares. Fallacy moved towards Bumble Bee who was still tied up on the ground. Dropped down and sat on her heels so that she could face Bumble Bee more clearly.
"It would seem that I am the victor tonight, Old friend…" said Fallacy.
"Maybe…" said Bumble Bee, "So what do you figure happens now?"
"Now? Well, I have orders to take you in. You should count yourselves lucky, Brother Blood is allowing you to live for a while longer. He still has plenty of experiments to do, even after we've taken over this world. It is preferable that he have…extraordinary test subjects…."
"You'll never get away with whatever you're planning, you know that?"
"O, I beg to differ, Old friend…"
Speedy has had enough by that point. His anger had already reached its limit. Speedy threw his head back knocking the back the mech-ranger that was holding and forced it to let go of him. Speedy quickly unleashed his bow and charged at Fallacy who was just noticing him.
Half-way from reaching her, the first mech-ranger crossed Speedy's path. Speedy couldn't react in time as the mech-soldier was already swinging his blade out towards Speedy. The archer couldn't do anything but raise his bow in front of him to block. The blade met Speedy's bow in a spine-tingling impact.
The impact was so hard that Speedy actually flew backwards. At the same time, Speedy also lost hold of his bow, which was shaken from his hand. Speedy slid and rolled all the way down the elevated clearing they were all standing on and fell right off the edge of the cliff and down into the forest below with a scream.
"Aaaahhh!"
"Speedy!" exclaimed all the Titans as they watched him go over the edge.
"…He left us no choice," said Fallacy, then looked back at Bumble Bee, "Too bad for him then…"
"Damn you, you heartless little--"
"Save your curses for later, Old friend, there fates much more worse than his. And all of them are reserved for you…"
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
Back at the beach.
Terra had just finished her story. There was silence between the two women. The younger was patiently waiting for the older to say something meaningful. And, truth be told, she was getting tired of waiting. Despite the fact of her title as the True Master, which would indicate her level of wisdom, one would think she would have something to say by now, or at least half-an-hour ago.
"Well," Chu-hui finally spoke up, "Your story is quite interesting…"
Terra was stunned. "That's it? That's all you can say about my story."
"Yes. What did you expect?"
"What, no lengthy lectures, philosophical speeches, and all that. Master, do you even have any idea how big this issue is for me? I just bared my soul to you in telling you that I am just a genetic copy of the original synthetically made in a laboratory, and all you can say about it is that it was "interesting"?"
"This is the problem of watching too much TV. You expect too much when everything is so simple."
Terra was frustrated. "This is the farthest thing from simple!"
"…It sounds to me as if you want this to be a bigger issue than it's supposed to be."
Terra gave an exasperating sigh. "What are you talking about?"
Chu-hui stood up to show that what she was about to say was serious. "You say that you are a clone. That you are artificial and that you don't have the right to exist. Yet you feel emotion. You feel frustration, shock, anger, all of which you have exhibited in front of me since the start of our conversation. How can you deny such feelings? Those feelings our genuine and therefore you are genuine…"
"Master, please…"
"Let me finish. You say you are not real. That maybe true, maybe not. But that does not matter to me and it should not matter to you either."
"…Why not?"
"You are a living creature. You have a future. It should not matter whether you were born yesterday, or a hundred years ago. You are here, now, and you are alive. You have a story to write."
"A story… to write?"
"We each have our own story in life that we must continuously write. And like all stories, only we have te right to decide when we end our story. Do you want to end your story now? I don't believe so. As long as you can keep writing story, the future holds an infinite choice of possibilities. The true measure of any person is their ability to keep writing their story as far as it can go. How far are you willing to write your story?"
Terra looked down onto the sand, deep in thought, "My story…"
Chu-hui simply stood by and waited for Terra to say something. There was a long moment of silence where neither of the two moved or talked.
Eventually, Terra spoke up again. "…If I choose to continue my story, what could I live for?"
"That, my dear student, is entirely up to you…"

Author's Note: Terra and Chu-hui's conversation continues next update, alone with what happens next to the Titans East. Pls. R&R. If you do, I might update sooner.
