Okay, here's the next one. This will have a lot more action and will begin to reaveal part of Slade and Naraku's plans.
(Same disclaimer as always.)
Scene 12: Putting Aside Our Differences
Kagura led Kanna and the robots into the Tower. She placed a small device on the wall of the stair-way, as Slade had instructed her, and the security system was short circuited.
Silently and swiftly, the robots went from room to room.
First, they went to the living room and knocked out Kilala and Silky. Then they went into Raven's room and knocked out Sango just as she woke up and prepared to fight.
Next was Beastboy and Shippo.
Kagome heard a noise and got up to see what it was. Starfire also woke up and watched Kagome. "What is wrong?" She whispered.
"I heard something." Kagome whispered back, just before the door opened revealing a robot. Starfire pushed Kagome out of the way as it aimed the device at her, but all this did was cause the robot to shock her first, then Kagome.
Miroku sensed something wrong and reached for his staff.
"Cyborg." He said seriously. "There's someone here."
Cyborg woke up and looked at Miroku. "Man, if anyone was here my alarms would've gone off by now."
"I know I sense someone here."
"(Sigh.) Alright, alright, let's go check it out." But no sooner had he said this then a robot came in and knocked Miroku out. "Miroku!"
Had the robot been an actual person, it would have flinched from the mistake it made in allowing Cyborg to shout. But the robot was only programmed to take out the Titans and their friends. It simply aimed the device at Cyborg and fired.
Inuyasha heard Cyborg's yell, as did Robin. They woke up and immediately glared at each-other.
"What did you do!" They both shouted. But then they heard footsteps outside the door.
Only two robots stepped up to the door of Robin's room. They opened the door and looked inside, but saw no-one there.
One of the robots walked inside but was sliced in half. When the other one followed, Robin crushed its head with his Bo-staff.
"So much for this tower being 'impenetrable'!" Said Inuyasha, flexing his fingers.
"Shut up!" Robin replied. "We need to help the others!"
Inuyasha and Robin ran out into the hallway but found no-one in the rooms.
They ran to the living-room and saw everyone unconscious and held by their arms by the robots.
"Starfire!" Robin shouted worriedly.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha shouted, equally worried.
Kagura stepped out of the shadows. "Well, well, well." She said. "Look who decided to join the party."
"Kagura!" Inuyasha yelled. "You're pretty stupid to come here for me to kill ya!"
"You made a big mistake coming here Kagura!" Said Robin. "And an even bigger mistake in not taking care of us!"
Kagura laughed again. "How foolish you are. Everything is going exactly as planned. Even you and Inuyasha waking up."
"What do you mean?"
"Slade ordered me to bring your friends to him and Naraku. But he told me you were to stay here. Those robots were meant to let you know we were here, not capture you. And now, we must be going!" Kagura motioned with her fan and a gust of wind temporarily blinded Inuyasha and Robin.
When they were finally able to open their eyes, Kagura and the others were gone.
"This isn't good." Said Robin. "With the others captured, Slade and Naraku have the upper hand."
"It gets worse." Said Inuyasha. "I didn't see Draco with them."
"We have to find them!"
"Yeah, great plan. Except we have no idea where they are! Some hero you are. Thanks to you our friends are in danger!"
Robin couldn't take it any more. "Shut up! They're my friends too! I'm just as worried! And as far as I'm concerned, I would have heard them coming and stopped them if it weren't for you!"
"That's it squirt! I've had my fill of you! I'm gonna end this once and for all!"
Inuyasha tried to punch Robin, but Robin lifted his Bo-staff and blocked his fist.
Suddenly, before the fight could continue, they heard a voice coming from the view screen.
"Now, now boys." Said Slade, as he and Naraku appeared on the screen. "Save your strength. You'll need it."
"Slade." Said Robin.
"What do you want?" Inuyasha growled.
"We want to tell you that we are giving you the chance to find your friends." Naraku replied.
"Or die trying." Slade finished.
"We're listening." Said Robin.
"I have placed several clues all across the city." Slade continued. "You will follow the clues to my hidden base where Naraku and I await you. If you successfully decipher each clue, you will find us and have the chance to defeat your greatest enemies… if we don't destroy you first." Slade spoke this last part as though he were certain it would end that way.
"And if we don't decipher each clue?" Inuyasha asked.
"If you get even one clue wrong," Naraku replied. "You will activate a bomb which will not only destroy you… but it will annihilate half your city."
"The first clue will be displayed on the screen momentarily." Said Slade. "You have 24 hours. So I suggest you stop fighting amongst yourselves and get started. Farewell boys."
"And good luck." Naraku added.
The masked faces vanished from the screen and Inuyasha and Robin looked at each-other.
"Looks like we have a job to do." Said Robin.
"Yep." Inuyasha replied. "And it looks like we'll have to do it together."
Robin nodded. "Truce?" He held out his hand.
Inuyasha looked at Robin's hand, then took it in his own. "Truce."
They shook hands, and the truce was official.
Now it was time to track down Naraku and Slade… or die trying!
Okay then. Send reviews please!
