Chapter I: Power
Slade sat with his eye closed as a large pendulum swung back and forth behind him. "You understand that failure will not be tolerated."
"I do." A male voice spoke.
"Everything has been going according to plan so far, and I don't need a kid to mess it up."
"I understand."
"Now go, ensure me robots' victories."
"Yes, father."
… … … … …
Beastboy, finally out of his room, took a quick shower and headed downstairs. "FRIEND BEASTBOY!" Starfire yelled. She flew over to him and nearly squeezed him to death with one of her famous death hu… I mean hugs.
"Hi… Starfire…" She squeezed him even harder. "Can't…. breathe!" He said.
"Oh, sorry…"
"Look who decided to come out of his room." Cyborg said.
"What can I say, I got tired of staring at my ceiling all day."
… … … … …
Two white creatures broke out of the ground. These ones were rather weak looking and had dim red eyes. One found pedestrian and sucked green ooze from the pedestrian's head. As it went into the body of the white creature, it grew in size and its muscles grew twice as large. The being spoke in the pedestrian's voice to the other. "This girl knows many friends… tonight we feast!" It let out a high pitched scream of joy, as did its companion. Their bodies change into concrete and they walked slowly down the city streets.
"Yo, hold it!"
"The Cyborg!" It said. "The others can't be far, lets go!"
"Wait, they can talk?" Before Cyborg could get an answer, he was blasted back by a blast of energy.
"Move on Memory Eaters, grow. I'll handle these creeps." The energy originated from a familiar face, in the same suit once worn by Robin and carrying the very blaster that Robin had used.
"No way… Beastboy?" Raven asked. The Memory Eaters moved on as Beastboy fired several lasers at Raven and Cyborg before moving on to Robin and Starfire.
"Things are never as they seem…" Beastboy knocked out Starfire. "Remember that." Beastboy aimed for Robin and fired. Robin quickly got out of the way and returned the attempted blow with a punch to the face. Beastboy angrily turned his arm into a gorilla's and knocked Robin through several buildings. Beastboy stood still for a moment, looking around for Robin. Robin snuck up behind his former friend and pulled off an uppercut on his chin as Beastboy turned around and kicking him high into the air. Beastboy flew into a nearby building, crashing through the third floor window, sliding on the linoleum floor, and crashed into a desk at the end of the room.
"Beastboy, what's wrong with you?" A beat up Beastboy covered half his face as he stepped out of the building.
"As I said…" Beastboy grinned. "Things aren't always what they seem."
… … … … …
Two males now stood before Slade, with a spotlight on the beat up Beastboy. "Their power is achieved by teamwork." Slade said. "You are my secret weapon."
"I understand."
