Titan Wars V: The Brotherhood Strikes Back

Ch. 4: Happenings

Beast Boy and Raven went off in one direction and avoided being seen by the Brotherhood ships. However, the other four Titans had to cross through the enemy ships to escape and narrowly avoided being blown out of the sky.

"Man," said Cyborg, "Someone must have messed with the T-Ship. If BB were here I'd be looking at him."

"Friend Beast Boy knows better than to do the tampering with your vehicles, Cyborg," assured Starfire.

"I think the best strategy right now would be to hide somewhere," said Robin.

"How about a cave?" suggested Kid Flash.

"Good idea," replied Rob, "How'd you come with that?"

"Because there's one right there."

There was indeed a large cave that could easily hide the T-Ship. They dove in and landed the ship and hid while Cy tried to tune up the T-Ship. Of course they never let their guard down since the empire would be searching for them.

Villains

The T-Ship disappeared from the enemy ship's view. The officers voted to see who would tell Terra the news.

"You're bigger than her, Mammoth," said Gizmo, "You tell her."

"No way," griped Mammoth, "She scares even me. Let See-More tell her."

"Hey," shouted See-More in protest, "Why don't you do it, Gizmo, if you're so smart?"

"I'm not taking the risk!"

When it came down to it, they chose Kitten since she was a girl and probably wouldn't be smacked. With a roll of her eyes, she headed to Terra's room.

It had Terra's name in big bold letters on the front. She knocked on the door, but there was no answer. Kitten found that the door wasn't locked so she went inside.

The room was completely empty. She looked around and saw there was a light coming from the bathroom. She snuck over and peeked through the door to see Terra sitting on the toilet seat, silently crying, and looking at a picture in her hands. On the back there were words in neat hand writing.

To Tara: At last our first date. Love, Garth

Terra let out a sob as she turned the picture around. On the front was a picture of her doing something she hadn't done in what seemed like forever: smiling happily.

By her side was Aqualad who had his arm around her and was also smiling. Tears were still running down her cheeks as she kissed the photo and put it in her front chest plate.

She washed her face and as she dried it with a towel, Kitten ran back outside the room. She knocked again and Terra answered.

"What is it?" she hissed.

"The Titans disappeared, Terra," Kitten explained, "We can't locate them on the scanners. Now what?"

"Get out and look for them," Terra calmly replied, "I don't care if they're hiding. Search the entire vicinity until you've found them. They can't escape again."

Kitten sighed, "Fine, whatever you say." She turned and walked off.

Terra slammed the door shut to her room and sat on her bed. She put her head in her hands and let out a sniffle as she quietly said, "Aqualad."

Meanwhile

Beast Boy and Raven had arrived where Robin told them to go. The location of the True Master was right in front of them.

"So how do we know who the True Master is?" asked Beast Boy.

"Robin said we'll know just by looking at them," Raven replied, "Though I think that's pretty stupid if you ask me."

BB nodded as they walked into the village. After a little ways, a short, elderly woman came up to them.

"Greetings, young travelers," she said.

Beast Boy and Raven looked at each other.

"You're the True Master," stated Raven.

"You're very good," she replied, "I am Chui-Hui."

"Not a word about that to Robin," said BB, "He'll never shut up."

"Ah, you know the one who takes himself too seriously."

"That's him alright," replied Beast Boy, "He's our leader. So he says."

"Then I will take you up the mountain myself. Tell me, why has he sent you here?"

"He said we needed to split up too make ourselves harder to catch," explained Raven.

"Ah yes, this so called 'empire' is everywhere. They must be stopped if we are to have any peace. But no matter how many victories to obtain, it will all be in vain unless you destroy the Brotherhood at the source. Well, time to stop."

"But we just got started," said Raven.

"It is getting dark and it is time to eat," Chui-Hui replied.

"Can't argue with that," said Beast Boy.

Raven sighed, but agreed since she hadn't eaten in awhile.

BoE

Terra was receiving a call from Fang via hologram.

"Come on, Terra," he griped, "Were wasting all this time and we can't find them."

A boy in a green suit with a question mark on the front and wearing a mask walked up next to Fang. He was called Kwiz Kid for his ability to make up tricky riddles.

"Maybe they crashed already," he added.

"No," Terra replied calmly, "They are alive and out there somewhere. Search the entire vicinity until you've found them."

"Right away, Terra," they both replied.

Terra was about to leave when Gizmo came up.

"Yo, Terra," Gizmo called out.

"What is it, Gizmo?"

"Slade wants you to call him."

Terra gave an annoyed look, "Patch him through to my private transmission."

Gizmo nodded as she went to her room. She turned on her communication screen and kneeled before Slade's eerie image.

"What can I do for you, master?" Terra asked.

"You can continue your search for the Titans," Slade replied, "Why is it taking so long?"

"The wimps are hiding somewhere, but we'll find them. You'll have the whole set soon enough, boss. So quit calling and getting worked up over nothing."

"Don't forget who you're talking to, Terra. I want them captured quickly. They're getting to be more annoying ever since they destroyed the particle beam."

"I've been thinking, Slade. What if we could get one of them to join us?"

Slade narrowed his eye in thought.

"Yes," he said, "They could become a powerful ally. Can it be done?"

Terra chuckled softly to herself.

"They will join us or pay the price of being turned into a living statue, my master."
