XD Cruel, wasn't I? But that's nothing to this chappie...Here's the second part. :D

Get the heck out of there.

That was his first thought, until he realised that Raven would have probably realised that as well. He'd have a dog's chance in a flea circus in escaping unharmed.

Strange the things you think of when you're moments away from being pounded.

He stood on the spot, still terrified as larger villains ran past him or shoved him out their way to confront the charging line. Wykkyd shook his heard sharply, forcing himself to get over his terror and focus, looking around. They could still win this.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Malchior transform into his dragon form, which shot a stream of fire at the scary teddy bear, only to be stopped by Raven's dark magic shield, blinding the battlefield with thick black smoke. He ran forward blindly, coughing, grabbing hold of each side of his cloak in case of sudden attack. It was lucky he did, as he almost ran right into Jericho, and, instinctively, he swiped his cloak at him, the edge just less than glass sharp. Jericho ducked and rolled, then, to Wykkyd's surprise, jumped up and leant into his face, looking directly into his eyes, startling Wykkyd.

Without warning, Jericho disappeared and Wykkyd suddenly felt extremely dizzy, his hearing and eyesight were muddy, and he was unable to move himself properly. He felt highly disorientated, and was only vaguely aware that he had teleported himself somewhere and was attacking someone… Someone with lots of legs…

He felt something slimy brush past his shoulder as his body leant to one side for some reason, he couldn't for the life of him figure out why. His arms slashed his cloak at the leggy-thing but Wykkyd could tell from the pressure his fingertips were exerting that they weren't cutting blows, more bludgeoning blows. Then, without a clear reason why he should be concerned, he found himself unable to move as two legs of the leggy-blur arched over his head and trapped him in place. He was dimly aware that his face was next to something with sharp teeth…

Then, just as suddenly, he felt his head clear, his senses come back and he found himself face to teeth with Fang, whose eyes had turned a wonderful shade of green. Wykkyd yelped silently, scrabbling back and slipping onto his behind as Fang let go of him, swept round and leapt back into the battle, his human body swinging uselessly beneath the spider head. Wykkyd grabbed the side of his head and jerked it from side to side, trying to realise what the heck had just happened to him.

His thoughts were interrupted when he heard another loud BANG from the main battlefield. He twisted around to see Ding-Dong-Daddy's car in flaming ruins, and a dark shape falling down from the ceiling towards him. He glanced up and rolled away in time as Gnarrk smashed into the ground where Wykkyd had been seconds before.

He looked upwards from his sitting position at the caveman's growling face, his arms bent, ready to swing down the-

Wykkyd looked past Gnarrk's face and up to the Neanderthal's combination weapon / best friend, who looked down at him with a crystalline look of fortitude. Wykkyd felt his face grow hot and his stomach tighten in embarrassment, even in this situation, as he looked up at her beautiful face, his mouth hanging open slightly. Kole's face, still crystallised, changed from one of determination to one of concerned puzzlement as she wondered why he just sat there like a dazed puppy.

"What's wrong?" She asked him quietly, her gem-like state warping her voice, making it ripple and waver. Gnarrk relaxed slightly, his frown less severe, as he looked between Kole and Kyd Wykkyd.

CRRRRUUACCCKKKK!

Mammoth's fist came out of nowhere, sucker-punching Gnarrk straight in the jaw and sending him flying backwards, Kole flying out of his hands and skidding along the floor, reverting to normal as she did so. Mammoth snorted triumphantly as Gnarrk landed, then turned to Wykkyd, giving him a thumbs up.

"Ya' owe me." He laughed, grabbing the stunned Wykkyd by the neck of his cape and dragging him to his feet. "Hive Five kicks butt together!" He added, lifting his massive hand up to Wykkyd. Wykkyd, half hating and half thanking him, grinned, high-fiving him out of habit. Mammoth nodded, then glanced around again, growling, "(Now where's that nuclear Russki-) Aha!" He added, bounding off towards Red Star for his revenge.

Wykkyd grinned after him, then, the previous moment catching him up, his face changed to instant regret; he snapped his head round to where Kole and Gnarrk landed. They hadn't wasted a second, as Gnarrk was hand-to-hand with Atlas, pushing against each other in a test of strength, and Kole was crystalline, facing away from Wykkyd as she deflected several laser shots from General Immortalus's soldiers.

He paused for a few seconds, wondering what she thought of him now… He would have led her into a trap, from her POV… He frowned to himself, biting the inside of his cheek and shaking his head as anger slowly rose in him. Great. Just… Great. First chance he got to meet her, and, thanks to Mammoth, she hates him like all the other villains.

It.

Was.

Just.

Un.

Fair!

In case you were wondering, Wykkyd was definitely angry now… He needed something to vent it into. And the closest things happened to be the other heroes.

Spinning around on the spot, he looked around for the closest one, and spotted Starfire fly by overhead, mid battle with Killer Moth. She'd do.

Growling to himself, he span, teleporting directly in front of her and turned his momentum into a spinning-heel kick that hit directly in her jaw, stopping her in her tracks. Still spinning, he teleported behind her, swinging his elbow and smashing it backwards into the back of her head. One again, he teleported away, but re-appeared above her, swinging his legs at her neck to Scissor-Kick her. But before he could move, Starfire span and grabbed hold of his ankles, growling at him, her eyes glowing emerald green.

"That was not a wise action…" Before he knew it, she swung him round and down at the ground, throwing a Starbolt after him. He landed solidly on his back on the ground, and then silently yelled as the Starbolt hit him directly in the chest, ploughing him a bit deeper into the tiles.

Grunting, he opened one eye and slowly peeled his back off the floor, sure he had heard a crunch from his spine. But as he could move it was nothing serious, a broken tile maybe, and, wincing, he got shakily to his feet. Well… at least he wasn't so angry anymore…

"You're lucky. She's in a good mood." He heard a deadpan voice say from behind him. He froze, holding his side and looking straight forwards, mouth open and eyes wide as he started to shake with nerves.

Oh… No…

Very slowly, he turned his head and upper body to face behind him.

Raven.

He stood still.

She stood still.

He blinked.

She blinked.

The battle raged around them.

"I should be beating you senseless now…" She said slowly, as she seemingly grew taller and thinner, her voice becoming raspy. "That's the way things are. I'm a heroine, you're a villain."

Wykkyd, shaking and eyeing the tentacles of dark power swirling out from underneath her cloak, nodded, gulping.

"As long as we both know…" She growled angrily, making the tentacles rise around her in a threatening posture, her eyes glowing red. Wykkyd, still frozen to the spot, tried to prepare for the worst. He didn't even have a chance to move as one shot towards him at supersonic speed, and he clenched his eyes shut.

…

Poke.

…

He slowly opened one eye to find the same tentacle inches away from his nose where it had poked him. The end of it flicked up and down, as if waving. He looked back up to Raven, dumbfounded more than usual, and was surprised to see her smiling slightly, slowly growing smaller as the tentacles withdrew.

"…that's all you really deserve from me personally." She said, her eyes becoming violet and her voice becoming more deadpan, despite the smirk still on her face. "I'm still going to have to arrest you, you know that."

Wykkyd nodded, slowly starting to calm down. Raven's smile became more pronounced, pleased that he was prepared to take responsibility for his actions.

"Told you you weren't a villain." She added, her smile migrating to Wykkyd's face. After a short pause, he nodded gently, sighing. "…Y'know, the position of honorary Titan is still-"

PSSSSCCHHABANG!

A loud explosion cut her off in mid-sentence and, before Kyd realised it, someone grabbed him from behind as a large, pupil-ed bubble enveloped the distracted Raven.

"C'mon Wykkyd!" See-More hissed to him, pushing him away from Raven as she struggled to free herself. Wykkyd looked over his shoulder whilst running, shooting See-More a questioning look. "Waddya mean 'What?'-! Look!" He jabbed his finger towards the wall of frozen heroes… Who weren't so frozen anymore…

"We godda find the rest of the HIVE Five!" See-More told him, pushing Wykkyd forward as he turned away. "You get the Billy Numerii; I'll get Mammoth and Gizmo!" And without waiting for a reply, he ran off towards one side of the hall. Wykkyd hesitated, then shrugged; He'd explain it to him later. He glanced round to see if any Billys were nearby, but, spotting Argent making a beeline for him, he was forced to teleport away. He doubted whether the other heroes would believe his changing sides. He re-appeared up on the same rafter he had used only two hours before, scanning the room for any Numerii.

"Oh no you don't!" He heard someone yell behind him, and he turned in time to see Bumblebee nail him in the chest with her stingers without waiting for him to react. He slipped and fell of, chest stinging, but twisted his cloak round him and teleported to the ground, biting his lip in pain. He looked up in time to smash heads with a stray flying Billy that Cyborg had thrown.

"Urgh… Thanks for the 'catch', buddy," Billy groaned, rubbing his head. "Makes ya' wish you were in one of them there pillow forts of yours, huh?" He laughed, pulling Wykkyd to his feet. "What's up with you?" He queried to Wykkyd's frantic miming.

Wykkyd cupped a hand to the middle of his forehead, pointing to the centre of it, then, opening his arms wide, he brought them in to his chest. He jabbed his finger at Billy, then out into the battlefield, and then jerked his thumb over his shoulder. He raised his finger up as an afterthought, tapped his own chest, then, reluctantly, pointed towards the now vacant wall of heroes, but then he waved his hands frantically, pointing at himself, then Billy, then over Billy's shoulder.

See-More's getting all the Hive Five together, including you and the others, to get out of here. I'm afraid… I'm one of the good guys now, but it's alright! I'm still going to help you guys out of here!

A few seconds silence.

"…I have no idea what you just said." He said bluntly, folding his arms. Wykkyd growled audibly, grabbing his face and drooping his head forward in exasperation. He leant up, grabbed Billy's shoulders, twisted him round and pointed, over his shoulder, at the only exit.

Out.

"Well now, why dincha say so in the fist place?" Billy laughed, slapping Kyd on the back. "C'mon!" Wykkyd looked skyward, gritting his teeth and clenching his fists in aggravation at Billy. He shook his head, then followed him across the battlefield. They halted sharply as XL-Terrestrial collapsed to the ground in front of them, Beast-Boy leaping over him and towards The Brain. After a few seconds, XL shrank, allowing them to run by him. Wykkyd stopped briefly to try and help him up, but Billy grabbed him and pulled him along; "No time!" When they reached the other side, however, they found only mammoth and Gizmo waiting for them.

"Where's See-More?" Billy quickly asked them.

"That bodysnatchin' blondie Jericho got hold of him!" Gizmo yelled, pointing back to where See-More was now shooting eye-bubbles at Psimon. Suddenly, their view of the battlefield was obscured by Thunder's resounding sonic boom.

"Cludge it!" Gizmo semi-swore, turning round and herding the rest of the Hive Five towards the exit, with him in front. "Let's get outta here!" Suddenly, without warning, they were faced by the person who had foiled their first attempt at a crime wave: Kid Flash. He grinned at them, then, whilst preening himself, said,

"Now's the time you're probably thinking, 'I shouldn't have hooked up with these Brotherhood guys." He held up his hands to them, closing his eyes. "Hate to say it, but- Told ya!" He smirked, pointing at them with both hands. Wykkyd was just about to hold his hands up and to try and explain about himself, but, suddenly, Cyborg came crashing onto the stairs, grunting. After a brief looked between them, Kid Flash calmly talked to him as if he'd been there all along.

"Sorry I'm late; I had to pick up a friend." He jabbed his thumb over his shoulder at the last person Wykkyd expected at a time like this; Jinx.

The Hive 5's jaws dropped simultaneously for different reasons. Wykkyd was knocked for a loop: Where'd he find her? The Hive (minus See-More) had looked all over Jump City for her-! How'd Kid Flash find her so easily?

"You're with him?" Gizmo spat, growling jealously at Kid Flash. "Traitor!"

"You probably have some catching up to do." Flash said in (Wykkyd could almost swear he heard it) an affectionate way to her before speeding off to the main battlefield. After briefly following his path with their gazes, they turned back to their former temporary leader. She smiled sweetly at them, shrugged, then said

"Nothing personal." She clicked her fingers. Before they realised, a pink wave of bad luck swept them aside, and they landed heavily on the floor, groaning loudly. Wykkyd grimaced as he felt his ankle twist, and he grabbed hold of it, gritting his teeth. The others tried to struggle to their feet, but they were noticed by Lightning, one of the elemental god brothers.

"Oh no you don't, evil mortals!" He cackled, jabbing his hand towards them. Bolts of electricity shot towards them and, before Wykkyd could attempt to stop him, he felt a surge of pain shoot through him, making his limbs twitch spontaneously without his control. He slipped and fell onto his side, paralysed, along with the other Hive 5. He vainly attempted to move his hand and wave to him, to let him know he had made a mistake, but he was unable to move.

Suddenly, without warning, he felt himself be lifted, carried and deposited on top of Mammoth in a single second, the other two piled on top of him. Gritting his teeth, he moved his gaze upwards to see the nitrogen cannon above him. With a feeling of dread, he slowly looked round to see Mas and Menos at the controls, looking the other way. He opened his mouth to actually say something, but before he got the chance-

PSSSSSSSCCCCCCHHHHHHHH…
