Hey, people! Welcome to the first chapter of Digital Titans. I'm sorry it took me so long to upload this, but Feb is my busy month. Anyway, I'm here now, and the story will go on!

Digital Titans takes place two years after Raven, Help Me. Robin, Raven are 18, Cyborg is 19, TK and Kari are 16, and Beast Boy and Starfire are 17. Enjoy!

Chapter 1: Fanged Battle

Moonlight shines down on a jewelry store in downtown Jump City, as said jewelry store turned off it's lights and the employee inside left.

A minute later, the innocent image of the closed store is shattered as a brick is thrown into the front window, shattering the glass. A shadow leaps inside and begins to grab jewelry at random. It finally stops and holds up a large diamond. Before it can examine it closly, however, a bird-shaped boomerang slams into the hand holding it.

The bird-a-rang flew back into Robin's hand. "Nice to see you again, Fang." said the Boy Wonder. "Now drop the bag and we'll take you quietly. Raven, the lights."

The lights turned on and revealed the culprit. He looked like an average 16-year-old punk rocker, except that he had the head of a spider, complete with fangs and fou large spider legs.

Surrounding him were the Teen Titans. Cyborg had his white sound cannon chraged and ready to fire a blast at the human/spider hybrid. Starfire had her star bolts active, ready to do likewise. Robin had his hand cocked, ready to loose the bird-a-rang at a moment's notice. Raven had several objects floating around her with her telekinesis, Light had two arrows nocked on her bow, and Hope had his shield powered. Beast Boy was a tiger, and Angemon and Nifertimon floated above the scene. All of them were as tense as Light's bowstring.

So all were ready when Fang sprayed some kind of webbing at them. They all dodged and Fang leaped out of the skylight. He was quickly followed by the fliers of the Titans. Starfire loosed her star bolts just as Light loosed her arrows. They missed and Fang whirled around and sent more webbing at them.

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" Living shadows envoloped the web and directed it at Fang, who dropped to the ground and sent more web after them.

"Thanks Raven!" Light called as her jetpack carried her over the floating goth girl.

Raven gave a rare smile as Light, Starfire and Hope zoomed off after Fang before turning back to where she left. "You coming?"

Robin leaped on the roof next to her as Cyborg and Beast Boy sped down the street in the T-Car. "Of course." He smirked. "Your way or mine?"

Raven gave a smirk of her own and created a shadow platform under Robin's feet. Raising the platform, Raven sped off after the others, Robin right beside her.

The chase was still in action twenty minutes later, with the Titans getting frustrated. It didn't help matters when Hope spotted a small robbery in an electronics store.

He pulled out his Titans Communicator. "You guys go on." he said into the little machine. "I'll catch up."

"Just hurry." Robin said.

"Be careful." Raven added.

Hope acknowledged and closed the device before diving at the looters. Before they knew what hit them, Hope had knocked two out and had a third trapped in a sonic net on his first pass.

Before he could make his second, however, the last man pulled out a pistol. Hope twisted, avoiding the bullets, but a lucky shot clipped his jetpack wings. Caught in a tailspin, Hope dived for the softest landing spot he could find: A large pile of cardboard boxes just inside the store.

Hope shed his jetpack before crawling out of the boxes, reaching for one of his newer weapons. Cyborg had constructed new weapons with the same technology as the T-Car and himself, including the sonic net and a beam sword, making them safe and effective.

Standing up and activating the sword and his shield, Hope faced the last thug, who had his pistol leveled at the young hero. Moving quickly, Hope brought up his sheild and pressed a button on his wrist, extending the yellow glow to cover his whole body. The thug's shots were vaporized against the energy as he kept fireing again and again.

Finally, the thug pulled the trigger only to hear a 'click.' In one smooth motion, Hope leaped forward and brought his beam sword down on the thug's head, knocking him out.

Hope surveyed the area before pulling out his commiunicator. "Guys, I've got a problem. Some idiot decided to take potshots at me, leaving me grounded."

"Don't worry about it." Light's voice sang through. "We've got spider-boy. Beast Boy, Cyborg and Starfire are taking him away while Robin, Raven and I are looking for you. Where are you, anyway?"

Hope grabbed another device from his belt and held it into the air. A bright light shot into the air from it.

"There you are. Alright, Teeks, just hold tight and we'll pick you up."

Smiling, Hope leaned against a street pole. "I owe you one, Light."

"Sleep through the night for once and we'll call it even."

"No promises." And he closed the link.
