BioTitans

by LuisJM

After surviving a freak thunder storm, the Titans detected a distress signal at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. When they got down there, they weren't expecting an underwater utopia filled with insane citizens, big metal monsters, and a ruling dictator. Will they be able to find a way out of this nightmare with the help of some unlikely alliances? (TT/Bioshock X-Over)

4. Daddies and Sisters

Okay, so before I start with the story, I want to share with you regarding the future of cartoons. So Transformers: Robots in Disguise now has a second season out on Cartoon Network. Now I have that set on my DVR and I'll watch it when I have the time. I still didn't get the chance in watching the season finale of RiD and I have a lot of stuff to handle from here and there. There is of course the one serious issue I have that I need to get off my chest. See, Transformers: RiD was meant to have a total of three seasons just like it's predecessor, Prime. But as I stated before in my little rant on YouTube, that Cartoon Network has the tendency in airing anything that's mostly action based early in the morning when an older audience and most children are still asleep and filling most of their timeslots with their dumb programming through marathons. So Transformers being shown at 6:30 on a Saturday morning would lead to some serious re-precautions. The end result is that the promised three seasons got down to two with a mini movie to conclude it and the episode count got cut from 26 to 13 - 16. The same type of treatment that plagued Prime with their Beast Hunter season.

Now I know Truth has the slogan that 'We will be the next generation to end smoking.' and YouTube users are asking to YouTube 'Where's the fair use?'. But I wanted to ask Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, and Discover Family (Once the Hub Network), Where's the Good Cartoons. We've seen great cartoons that shows a lot of promise such as Symbiotic Titan, Megas XLR, Beware the Batman, Tron: Uprising, and many more. But due to terrible schedule making, poor ratings, and legal disputes, these shows get canned after the first season while dumb shows such as Uncle Grandpa, Breadwinners, Regular Show, Pig, Goat, Banana, and Cricket, even the abomination of Teen Titans Go!, get more air time like there's no tomorrow. At least Disney tends to have more variety with their combination of good and bad shows. But these channels I've mentioned tend to focus solely on the dumb shows that show no morals, low brow comedy, and toilet humor just for the purpose to brainwash the children of this generation while hiding good shows that have more potential then any other. And I fear that this trend will continue until someone would take a stand on it. We should be the ones that would have our voices heard, demanding channels to improve on their schedules, to give shows such as Transformers, Legend or Korra, or any future show that's going to come out, a chance at the spotlight and have more than just a single day on a morning or a late night. The time has come to tell these cartoon executives that, in the words of Owen Hart, enough is enough and it's time for a change! If all of you think that Cartoon Network and other cartoon channels should do better with their programming, share this hashtag throughout Twitter and YouTube and ask them…

Now that that service announcement is out of the way, on to the story!

So from the last chapter, I got almost a hundred of views, not so much, giving that I put up a lot of work for the chapter. Still, I am going to continue to write these chapters down for the sake of fun. However, with three chapters in and the forth one updated, no one hasn't reviewed or critiqued on my work. I mean favoriting me and alerting others about this story is good and all, but without someone reviewing me, then all of my work was for nothing. So if anyone is reading this, please send me a review and let me know what you think of this story. I hate to see a story such as this reviewless.

On this forth chapter of BioTitans, the team must find a way to regroup and figure out what to do next. But as one of them got separated from the others to find a place to get them out of there, he encountered a threat even more dangerous as the splicers. A huge bulky metal monster with a little girl as a companion. Will LM be able to survive its wrath? This is the match of the ages!

Chapter Notes

Now in this chapter, the Big Daddy and Little Sister will make their appearance. And since we're dealing with different classes, I'll start with the Bouncer Big Daddy since they are the toughest in the Bioshock games. Also as added bonus, I will add the drill launcher with the cable from the Burial at Sea DLC to make the Big Daddy fiercer. Sure that was removed from the end of the second part of Burial, but a part of me wants to keep that mechanic as it shows how dangerous these Bouncers are. And since I was thinking about LM and the Bouncer for a long time, it would be a perfect match up. Another thing is what to do with all the other Big Daddies in the game. I know that during the game, you have to kill the Big Daddy in order to save or harvest the Little Sister's Adam. But since I don't want the Titans to get injected with Plasmids since they are already super powered, I do not want them to do what Jack and Delta has done in the games. So the Big Daddies won't be too much of a threat. Perhaps I would let most of the Daddies become part of the some actions scenes with the Splicers so they can take on the Titans… I don't really know. But we'll see in the future chapters. For now, let's stick with this one. I will also tease on another enemy type that I will bring to the fold in future chapters. I think you know what they are. Those that crawl on the walls and ceiling. Ring any bells? Well, you'll see what I mean as you continue with the story.

Chapter Four: Daddies and Sisters

'I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father's protection.'
S. Freud

Around thirty minutes into Rapture and the Teen Titans weren't prepared with what they encountered. At first, this mission was a simple one. When they picked up a distress signal, their plan was to get to the source of the distress signal and aid the person if this person was found. But if city at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean was one thing, the other is that this city went into some sort of Civil War within itself and the survivors in this city turned into crazed killers by injecting a drug like substance that will give them super human powers. The group survived as much as they could and managed to lose these crazies, or splicers as the city calls them, and escaped through two specific areas.

One group comprised of LM, Raven, Beast Boy, and Terra as they had their first run in with the splicers as they were chased around by them. Thankfully, Raven lead them to the Kashmir Restaurant and they managed to get them to the place safely, course with the help of LM setting a grenade to blow the splicers up and used his pistol to destroy the lever and lock the door. Still that wouldn't be enough. At the inside of the restaurant, the team was barricading the door with what could be blockable. Beast Boy and Terra found some chairs and placed them on the door. Raven used here telekinesis in lifting the heavy objects such as sofas and tables and placed them on the door as well. LM though looked on at the barricade and was still worried if it was enough.

LM: "You sure all that would hold them back? I mean my grenade just stopped them but I don't know if I got all of them."

Raven finished placing the furniture on the door as she floated down to him and told him that it was all right.

Raven: "At least we are away from those splicers. Just as long as we've blocked their way through that door, then we'll be safe."

The rebel Titan didn't like the sound of it, since they are in a new place that could still have threats.

LM: "Really? That coming from the Goth that decided to head down to a restaurant in a city filled with psychopaths. Or perhaps you've forgotten that maybe this restaurant still have some crazed lunatics running amok to kill us?"

Rae remained eerily quiet and realized that he does have a point. Just cause they've escaped a chase doesn't mean they're out of the woods yet.

Raven: "Then we'll check this place to see if there are any splicers around."

Beast Boy and Terra soon enough joined them and didn't like the sound of it.

Beast Boy: "Whoa! Back up. You're telling us that they're more of these whack jobs in here too?"

Terra placed her hands on her hips and responded to that unexpected news.

Terra: "That's some way of keeping us safe, Raven. Are you really trying to kill us?"

The telepath quickly turned to them and told them that they still need to check.

Raven: "A minor setback. But we'll check the area out to see if the coast is clear. Meanwhile, we need to figure out a way in regrouping with the others to form the next course of action."

Just as she said that, they could hear the ringing of LM's phone in his jacket. Taking it out, the rebel saw Robin's name on the caller ID and flipped it open to gain contact with the leader.

LM: "Yes, Robin?"

He could hear Robin's voice as it sounded like he was barely out of breath.

Robin: "LM, what's your position? Is everyone all right?"

The rebel heard his worry and explained the situation.

LM: "We're fine. Got nearly over runned by these splicers, but made an escape. We are currently bunkered into a restaurant called the Kashmir, keeping ourselves away from these psychos. Though I'm pretty sure that this place is crawling with those loons as well. What about you? What's the situation on your side?"

---

Back with Robin, Cyborg, and Starfire, they managed to make their own escape and went into maintenance hall without getting killed. However, they still needed to make sure that the others won't follow them into the hall. Starfire and Cyborg were barricading the door with everything that's around from metal shelves and crates as Robin was contacting the other half of the team.

Robin: "We're safe, for the moment. You weren't the only ones that were having trouble with those Splicers. We had to escape a horde of our own, shooting us down and lobbing home made grenades at us. It was a whole lot frustrating let me tell you. We gave them the slip when we took down the ceiling and escaped through maintenance. But it will be a matter of time before they find out where we are and burst through that door. Luckily, the maintenance hall has a connected number of tunnels that go about this building, perhaps the entire city."

---

To LM, Raven, Beast Boy, and Terra…

Robin: "We'll be scouting on ahead and hopefully find a way back to the terminal. Think you can find a maintenance passage in the building?"

LM looked around the entrance of the restaurant and responded back.

LM: "I guess so… Depends if we know where the entrance to the maintenance passage is. We'll update you if we find one."

He then hung up the phone, turning to the others for further orders.

LM: "Robin contacted me. Says that he and the others have made it safe and are in the maintenance passage. We have to find a maintenance passage too if we are to regroup with them. Let's look around."

The others soon turned to him and understood what he meant. So they left the reception and walked past the dead body that was on the chair with a bullet to the head. This was the same person that was bored on New Years Eve of Rapture and looks like someone put him out of his misery.

---

Returning to the other half of the team, Robin took the lead while Starfire and Cyborg followed him down the long tunnel. Looking around, they could tell that these halls are filled with pipes and gears spinning, but it seems like there's a lack of maintenance around there. A few pipes were leaking water as a few gears looked broken apart or stuck in the process. Cy looked to all of this and was surprised that there was some serious engineering within the city, whistling to himself.

Cyborg: "Man, these tunnels look vast and innovated. So much so then the city itself. Shame that most of the pipes are in disrepair."

Robin looked to this and was in strong agreement about what he said.

Robin: "This city has gone through Hell, Cyborg. Certainly reminds me of what we've been through back at the UAC in the future. After all, Alex did save us from the demons and brought us back to our home before sacrificing himself to save his world. Bless his soul."

Starfire then started to look around and was concerned about something.

Starfire: "Even after what we have been through back then, this underwater city does not have the demons from Hell. Only normal humans acting like the demons from hell. I still do not know how we will be able to find the others."

Robin: "We'll find a way. These tunnels are deep within this building. It wouldn't take that long to find them."

The three continued to walk around until they stopped at an intersection that would take them to multiple directions. Seeing the three directions they didn't take, Rob scratched the back of his head and was completely confused.

Robin: "Then again, this might take longer then expected."

Cyborg scanned the area and was curious about where to go to find the rest of the team. Checking the area out with his cybernetic eye, something caught his attention and pointed to the right.

Cyborg: "Yo! What is that?"

The other two turned and was curious what he they saw is what looks like an unknown energy field that looked like a bit of a ripple near a doorway. Curious, the three walked to the unknown energy field as the leader rubbed his chin in confusion.

Robin: "Huh… That's strange… Never seen anything like this before. Cyborg?"

Cy activated his mini computer on his arm and started to scan the unknown field. Looking to the results, he was just as confused as him.

Cyborg: "You're asking the wrong robot. My scanners aren't picking up anything about this other than the energy readout going off the charts. What do you suppose it is?"

Robin turned back to the hybrid and was curious about it as well.

Robin: "I don't know. But giving we're in a city in the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, it does look like it's another thing that's out of the ordinary. We have to be careful to avoid them. Giving little we know about it, we can't just rush in and cause more trouble.

As they were speaking about it, Starfire slowly walked to the strange energy field, not paying attention to what the boys are saying. Being an alien from another world, she's always curious about whatever is going on this planet. And this energy thing that's levitating near the door was one of them. Curious, she reached out her hand to try and touch it. But just as she was about to do touch the surface, something unexpected happened. The moment she got near it, the thin line of energy opened up like a portal showing the same spot near the door, only newer than before. The Tamaranean got startled as she backed up and nearly fell. The two boys saw her backing up and the energy field opened up as Robin was a bit upset.

Robin: "Starfire? What did you…"

Star turned to the Titan leader and told him that it wasn't her fault.

Starfire: "I did not do anything! The strange energy activated itself when I got near it."

Rob looked to her and then looked to the energy that opened that strange portal, curious of what she said. He then asked Cy to check on it again.

Robin: "Cyborg?"

The hybrid check on the now opened portal and observed it fully.

Cyborg: "Hmm… Whatever Star did, this energy field seems to open a portal of some kind, showing the same place, only different. Still, I have no clue what it did. Wait! I see something… Looks like people are heading to the door."

Robin raised an eyebrow and was confused by what he meant. Slowly approaching it, he soon found out what he was talking about. Within this tunnel, a small group of people was running right into the door as one of them told the others to keep running.

Wallace: "C'mon you slowpokes! Pick up the pace! Kyle expects us to join him before midnight and put Atlas's plan in motion. We can't keep him waiting forever!"

The group came through the door one at a time as the last one was trying to get in. This person, Jimmy, nearly slipped and dropped to the floor. During the drop, the same recording device the team encountered fell off his side and dropped to the floor. Wallace picked him up and told him to keep going.

Wallace: "Stop lying on the job, Jimmy! We're already running late as it is."

Jimmy quickly got up and realized he was missing something.

Jimmy: "My Vox recorder! I must've dropped it!"

He started to search for his missing recorder while Wallace told him to forget about it.

Wallace: "Forget about that stupid recorder of yours! We have to get to Kyle before midnight! You'll get it when we're done with the mission."

Wallace pulled Jimmy away as they went through that door. As they were leaving the portal immediately closed and vanished into thin air, catching the three by surprise. As soon as it disappeared, the three Titans were completely confused and didn't know what just happened.

Starfire: "Will this be the time when I say 'That was just plain freaky'?"

Cyborg: "You're asking that's freaky, Star? I'm starting to think this entire place ranks an eleven in my WTF meter. What did we just see?"

Robin too was a bit curious and thought of something that he thought was impossible.

Robin: "I think I know what we were looking at."

He soon turned to the two and explained about what happened.

Robin: "I remember Batman telling me that half of the League stumbled into an alternate world where it resembles the same Earth, but in a different setting. If what we saw is accurate, it was showing us another world, or another timeline before this."

The two Titans looked to each other and was intrigued by it. It was then that Cy asked something.

Cyborg: "So what were we looking at? Was it a portal to another world, another timeline, or both?"

Robin thought of that too and was curious as well. Turning back around to where the portal appeared, he could see the recording device that Jimmy left behind. Curious, he approached it and answered Cyborg's question.

Robin: "More like a clue."

He quickly approached the recorder and picked it up to see what's so important about it. Quickly hitting play, he could hear the voice of Jimmy saying something.

"So, Atlas contacted me and the others that he's planning to attack the Kashmir Restaurant during the New Years celebration at midnight. I suppose with mostly everyplace in the city is under high security, that restaurant is a softest of targets. The only problem I have is the strategy he set up. The one group would be at the restaurant shooting up the place while the other group would place a bomb within the service tunnels from underneath. Guess who's part of the group that will blow up the building. I wish I 'd been with the group to raise some Hell. Instead, I get stuck with the one mission that would be suicidal. Heard that the Big Daddies patrol the tunnels for maintenance and would attack anyone that trespasses. That part scares me the most. But Kyle did state that everything is under control. Yeah right… No one who saw a Big Daddy lives to tell about it. I just hope we don't run into one on New Years. If I know one thing, is that you will never mess with those metal bastards."

The recorder soon stopped when Robin heard every word out of it. The others listened in as well as Starfire remembered something.

Starfire: "I do recall friend LM stating that he and the others are in the restaurant of the Kashmir. You think the people we saw in that portal was going to the same place?"

Rob soon turned to the open door and was curious about it as well. Walking to that door, he opened up to reveal a long and narrow hall that more service tunnels. Looking on, he told the others that he was thinking the same thing.

Robin: "It seems so. Whoever these people are certainly knows where they're going. We better check this place out, see if where they went will take us to the restaurant."

Cyborg though asked him about this threat Jimmy said on the recorder.

Cyborg: "And what about that threat this person said on the recorder? He did state that this place is watched over by these 'Big Daddies', whoever they are."

Robin heard of that too and could tell that they could be dangerous.

Robin: "Then we better take a close watch on them. C'mon, the rest of the team needs us."

So the three passed into the door and continued the search for the rest of the team. As the group entered, something was passing close by. That something was crawling on the ceiling.

---

Returning to the rest of the team, they walked down the hall to see where they can find a way to get to Robin and the others. As they were walking, Beast Boy looked to the one of the posters that had the bunny rabbit mask with a title above that that says, 'New Years Masquerade Ball'.

Beast Boy: "Dudes, check it! They had a party here? Why wasn't I invited? I am the best party animal of all time!"

Raven turned to him with a glare and didn't like the sound of it.

Raven: "Really? You want to party after what he had been through? You really are a prick."

BB turned to the telepath and argued his point.

Beast Boy: "C'mon Rae! You know I really like to bust a move! And even after what we've all been through, I so need a break so badly!"

Terra listened in and had that smile on her face.

Terra: "You and me both Beast Boy. I could really cut a rug on the dance floor. Remember when we were at the Titans East Gala. We were definitely the center of attention."

The two laughed it up and remembered that time at the party. Raven though groaned to herself and remembered about what had happened in that place. The fact that they were complete party crashers disgusted her to the point that she would want to send them to another dimension.

Raven: "Idiots."

But as they were looking at the poster, LM went ahead to see where they were. When he saw something that he didn't expect he told the others about it.

LM: "Hey Beast Boy? Terra? You might want to take a quick rain check on your plans. Cause it looks like someone already beaten you to the punch."

The three turned to see LM starring at something in front of him. They soon joined him to see what he was talking about. By the time they got to him, they saw what he saw and were in complete shock. What they saw was a huge restaurant with two floors, a dining area in the front and dance hall in the back, and a stage for music and entertainment. But they also saw what looked like an aftermath from a disaster movie. Tables were turned over, decaying bodies were scattered, a neon sign was sparking on and off over the stage, and to complete shock, there was a huge hole on the floor leading to somewhere. Everyone looked on to see the whole disaster area and just couldn't believe what just happened.

Beast Boy: "Okay… Looks like we missed the party."

LM: "A party? This looks like a hurricane up on this joint. Wonder what happened here?"

The group walked around the dining area to see the damage that had been caused by this unknown event. Terra was on the right side seeing the bodies that laid a strewn on floor and turned away to see the rotting and decaying flesh. As she was walking by, she spotted something on one of the tables and took a closer look at it. It was another Vox Recorder with a lot of alcoholic bottles in the middle.

Terra: "Guys! I found something! Looks like one of those recording devices we've seen lately."

The others soon turned to the Earth bender and then approached her to see what she found. When they noticed it was a recorder, LM told her to start it.

LM: "Play it."

She then pushed play to hear what this recorder had. From what she and the others heard, it sounded like music was playing in the background as party goers were having a good time. But the voice of a woman was not having a good time as she was completely drunk and slurring her words.

'Another New Year's, another night alone. I'm out, and you're stuck in Hephaestus, working. Imagine my surprise. I just guess I'll have another drink... here's a toast to Diane McClintock, silliest girl in Rapture. Silly enough to fall in love with Andrew Ryan, silly enough to-'

Suddenly, the music stopped as an explosion was heard in the background followed by gunfire. People were running and screaming for their lives, as voices of the attackers were loud.

'Long live Atlas!'

'Death to Ryan!'

Meanwhile, they could hear the woman on the recorder surviving the attack and was traumatized by what happened.

'What... what happened... I'm bleeding... oh, God... what's happening...'

The audio recorder soon stopped as the team listened in. Hearing all of this, LM deduced what happened.

LM: "Hmm… Sounds like some uninvited party guests came by to crash the festivities."

Terra listened in as well and was completely confused.

Terra: "Crashing? I sounded like an invasion. Who is this Atlas guy?"

LM: "Don't know, but if experience taught me anything, is that any random bystander can turn into a revolutionary. Looking at all of this, I say that Atlas's uprising went a little too far."

Beast Boy though decided to keep searching and spotted a huge hole in the middle of the room. Slowly approaching it, he spotted another floor underneath the restaurant.

Beast Boy: "Guys, I think I found a way out."

The others soon turned to him and approached the changeling. Once they joined in, the look down to what Beast Boy was looking at and could tell that this was an opening to the lower maintenance level.

Raven: "A hole underground. Judging by the size and of it, it appears that someone must've blown it up underneath."

LM could see that and nodded in agreement.

LM: "Well, whatever the case, we do have an escape plan. Let's head on down there and continue looking for the rest of the team. Better then getting stuck up here, that's for sure."

The rebel Titan then jumped down to the lower level while Raven levitated after him followed by Beast Boy turning into a hawk and Terra jumping down. As soon as they were in the lower level, they could tell that it was a complete mess as they saw scorch marks on the walls, floor, and ceiling. But they even noticed scotched remains of people that had holes in their chests and looks completely un-identical. Looking to all of this, they turned their heads away and were a little disgusted by it.

Terra: "Well, at least we found the culprits that blew the place up from underground. Too bad they didn't fair well."

LM approached one of the burnt bodies and closely examined it.

LM: "Obviously the burnt remains are from the aftermath of the explosion. But the hole in this poor man's chest, it almost looks like someone impaled him. The question is who did this?"

BB then approached the way through and decided that they should leave.

Beast Boy: "I don't know about you guys, but I think we should make our leave now before more of those splicers show up."

The renegade looked to him and nodded.

LM: "You read my mind, BB. Let's go."

Soon enough, the group started to walk away from the crime scene and continued the search for the rest of the team. But back up at the Kashmir, they didn't notice the neon sign over the stage that said, 'Happy New Year'. It started to spark, as another message appeared below it that says, '1959' before it fizzled out once again.

---

As half the team was on the search, the other half were finding them. Robin was in the lead, looking for the path that they need to find their friends. Cyborg and Starfire were behind him as Cy got his shoulder-mounted flashlight on to help illuminate the way. They walked down the narrow hallway as they were looking for where this small group of people went. During the search, Robin could hear some strange sounds coming from on of the rooms. Searching through the doors, he heard the fourth one getting louder and pointed to it.

Robin: "There, I can hear something in that room. Get ready."

The two Titans nodded as they armed their weapons and powers incase this was a trap. Robin then kicked the door down as the three stormed in for another fight. But as they were in, all they could see is an empty room with a lone table and a blinking light. However, right in front of them, is what looks like another energy rift just like the one before it. Seeing this, the Titan leader got closer and waited for something to happen. Just then, the rift opened up and it showed the same room, only less bleaker than before and the group of people they saw from the last portal, with a different person at the table looking at the contents within the bag, which looked like explosives.

Kyle: "You're late…"

The youngest of the group approached the person on the table and explained his reason.

Jimmy: "I'm sorry Kyle, but we got a little lost. The map you gave us didn't prove to be effective and we've been going around the place two or three times. We didn't mean to keep you-"

Kyle stopped him and told him that it's no excuse.

Kyle: "Shut it Jimmy! You and the others here are supposed to be here for back up. These tunnels are filled with these metal daddies and we need to be on our guard."

Just then, he and the others heard footsteps above as they looked up to see the ceiling, where a group of people must've rushed in to dance. Getting the water out of his face, he looked back to Jimmy and the others and decided follow the plan.

Kyle: "The midnight hour is near, boys. This plan needs to be pulled if we're going to start the New Year with a bang. We can't have any distractions get in the way with his plan."

Getting his duffle bag with the title of 'Fontaine Fisheries' he opened it up and placed the bomb into the bag. Once he zipped it up, he handed each of the people a weapon to fight. Jimmy got a bat and looked at it with nervousness.

Jimmy: "Don't you think we should've get some better weapons than this? These are no match for those Big Daddies."

Kyle looked to him and told him that it was unavoidable.

Kyle: "True… But just as long as we brush pass them, we might get to our location easily."

He checked his watch and noticed that it was seven minutes before midnight.

Kyle: "It's almost time. Let's get going."

As soon as the group left, the rift closed and disappeared completely. Once it was gone, they got a chance to know where they were going.

Starfire: "Another one of those mysterious portals. Must be the normal in this underwater utopia."

Cy though turned to her and retorted to what she said.

Cyborg: "If you call a city that's filled with insane residents, normal. This portal tops the list of the strangest things we've ever seen."

Robin though looked to the portal that disappeared and told the others to continue.

Robin: "Either way, at least we got a lead to the restaurant the rest of our team is in. Come on, let's follow where they went to."

The group continued to walk to the other side of the room just to see where the Kashmir was located. During that time, there was something that was looking through the vents with deep breaths and blood shot eyes. Giving a snarl, the person crawled through the vents with the sound of hooks clanking on the metal.

---

Returning to the rest of the team, they were walking through the maze of tunnels just to look for Robin and the others. As they were walking, they were going through one turn to the next as Terra thought it wasn't getting them anywhere.

Terra: "Are you sure we're going to the right way? Because I'm sure that we passed this area before."

LM was starting to get a little aggravated and told her that he got it.

LM: "Yes. For the hundredth billionth time, I know where we're going. Besides this is a different hall than the others."

BB groaned and was getting himself annoyed by this.

Beast Boy: "Are you sure? Cause all these halls and tunnels as the exact same thing. Dark, dreary, drippy, miserable. Something Raven would like."

Rae heard that and has an anime pulse pumping on the side of the head. Turning to him, she told him to be quiet.

Raven: "Keep talking, Beast Boy, and I'll be sure you get shoved into another dimension."

The changeling looked to her and told her what it is.

Beast Boy: "Hey! It's true! You always are so dark and miserable 24/7. When do you think you can get yourself in a better mood."

Raven though smirked a little and responded with a quick remark.

Raven: "When Hell freezes over."

BB blinked a little bit and was surprised by what she said.

Beast Boy: "Dude... Did you... Did you just make a joke?"

Raven: "No... It's just a remark."

Beast Boy: "C'mon Rae. You know you've made a joke of what I said."

Raven: "Yeah? Well don't count on me being a comedian. I won't last that long."

Terra then heard her and thought of something about what she said.

Terra: "You really are a comedian, Rae. You like to portray a sad clown."

BB heard of this and laughed himself off about it.

Beast Boy: "Ha, ha! Nice one Terra!"

The two gave each other a high five and thought that last part was funny. Raven though didn't like it one bit as she gave them a deep glare and threatened them.

Raven: "Do I look like a sad clown to you?"

The two backed away for a little bit and tried not to get into her side of her temper.

Beast Boy: "No... You look more like a angry woman about to choke the closest neck around."

LM decided that he heard enough as he turned back to the others to quiet them.

LM: "Enough!"

They all stopped what they're doing and turned to the rebel Titan as he almost lost it.

LM: "Look, as much as I want to get distracted by what we had to go through, now isn't a good time to joke around. We have to find Robin and the others and find this person that sent the distress signal, if this person is still alive. So we must focus at the task at hand and not get misdirected by all this foolishness. You got me?"

Both Beast Boy and Terra looked to each other, knowing they were the distraction, and turned back with a quick nod.

Beast Boy: "Uh-huh..."

Terra: "Nothing on my back."

LM smiled and was pleased that they have got the message.

LM: "Good..."

Looking around, he saw that they were located at a three-way intersection that goes in different directions, one of which they were in. Looking to this fork in the road, LM thought of where to go and looked to the others.

LM: "I'm going to head to the right to see if the rest of the team is waiting for us. The rest of you will take the left side."

The three looked to him with worry and didn't like the idea he has.

Raven: "You think it's best that I would come along? After what we've been through already, you could use some serious backup."

The rebel gave her a quick smirk and told her that he got this.

LM: "You worry too much, Rae. You know that I can handle myself in any situation. Not to mention that I have all the backup that I have behind me."

He peeked back at the two weapons he has strapped to his back before turning back to the telepath.

LM: "Besides, someone has to keep these two lovebirds in one piece."

Raven looked back to the Beast Boy and Terra and didn't like his idea at all.

Raven: "Great… I'm thrilled…"

LM sighed and decided to make his leave.

LM: "Just contact me if you find the others. I'll do the same. Good luck out there."

The telepath look back to him and decided to listen to him for once.

Raven: "All right. Be careful out there."

LM: "Thanks, you too."

Soon enough, the rebel Titan went to the right side while Beast Boy, Terra, and Raven went to the left. As they separate, someone was watching from afar and was clinging to the ceiling. Looking on with a slow snarl, he crawled on the ceiling and headed to the right side where LM went.

Returning to Robin and the others, they continued to walk down the corridor and was looking for another one of those unknown rifts that appeared in front of them before. After a long walk, they soon start to realize that they weren't going anywhere.

Starfire: "It appears that there are no more of these paranormal rifts from this point forward."

Cyborg: "Sure looks that way, Star. Without a clear indication where this restaurant is located, we cannot get to the others in time."

Robin through didn't feel like giving up and told the others that they were close.

Robin: "Whatever the case, we could be getting close to the place. We just have to keep a close eye on where we need to go, otherwise we could get lost in this maze of tunnels."

So the group kept on walking down the tunnel to find out where they are. As they were walking, they soon stopped and spotted three separate hallways that goes into different directions in front of them. Looking on, they didn't know where to go.

Cyborg: "Well, this is not good. Now where do we go?"

The Titan leader looked to the three different directions and scratched his chin a little.

Robin: "Looks like we have to pick one of these tunnels to find the rest of our teammates. We pick wrong, and we'll be forever lost."

As they were thinking of where to go, Starfire heard something scattering on the ceiling and almost panicked.

Starfire: "What was that?"

Cyborg heard that from behind and turned around to see what's following them. Shining his light through the other end, all he could see is nothing.

Cyborg: "Don't see anything. Everything seems quiet. You think it's another one of those splicers?"

Rob turned to the hall they came in and was curious about it as well.

Robin: "Could be… But we cannot keep our guard down. Have your eyes on every corner. We cannot be too vulnerable to any attack."

Suddenly, they could hear a huge clank coming from the right hall in the three way split. They soon turned to the right hall and knew what they sound meant.

Cyborg: "Sounds like more of them splicers are down that hall. Not the silent type, huh?"

Rob looked to that hall and decided to take the risk.

Robin: "Then we will take them by surprise. Move out, quietly."

The three started to walked to the third hall and was prepared to take on whatever is ahead of them.

---

In another part of the maintenance tunnel, LM was walking all alone in the hall, looking for Robin, Starfire, and Cyborg. During the search, he soon grumbled to himself.

LM: "I can't believe that this. One minute we were on our way to Titans East, the next we get stuck in some underwater city that's filled with insane citizens wanting to kill me. A simple check with the other Titan teams turned into a survival game. Can this day get any worse…? No! Wait! Scratch that. Ignore the last part I said."

As he was walking, he approached a two way intersection from left to right. But on the left side, it was blocked off by debris as it looked like some type of underwater quake caved the place in. Looking to this, he sighed and guessed that he has only one choice.

LM: "Guess I'm not going that way, huh? Looks like there's one way through.

Turning to the right, he could see the other passage and decided to take that path. Just then, he heard scuffling on the wall close to where he was and took his pistol out, pointing it to the one direction that he was at. But he didn't see anything as he thought they were watching him. He lifted his pistol up and knew what they are planning.

LM: "Who's hunting who?"

Putting his pistol away, he decided to head down the only passage to find the others. He spent most of the time walking down to hall to find the others. But as he was walking, he spotted another path blocked by more debris and a loose lighting blinking on and off. Looking to this, he groaned and knew what this meant.

LM: "Great… Another dead end… Looks like I have to get back to the others then."

As he was going to get back, he turned to see an automatic door that looks like it's still operational. Seeing that, he came up with a second option of his own.

LM: "Or, I could see what's behind door number one."

Seeing his option, he decided to take the option he chose.

LM: "Door number one it is then."

Walking to the door, it opened up automatically as he entered through it. When he did, it was a change of atmosphere. He went from a dark and creepy maintenance area to an area that looked like a small bar area with a lounge on one end and what looked like movies posters on the wall with titles he had never heard of before. Still, like all the other places, it had been through hell. Furniture was turned over, walls looked cracked, a few lights were short circuiting, and one of the posters fell off and was on the floor. Looking around, the rebel wondered where he was. That's when he spotted a neon like sign over the bar area that has title, 'Lightfoot Theater' shown in bright letters. Seeing this place, he was starting to look impressed by the change of scenery.

LM: "Okay… Looks like those maintenance passages connect to pretty much every section of the building. Perhaps they could be of some use if we're going around the city looking for this person, wherever he is."

Walking towards the table counter, he could see half drunken liquor bottles that were left behind. Mostly splicers that had their way in drinking their lives away. On the wall are shelves of more liquor and two TVs in between with the 'Please Stand By' message and the logo of the lighthouse in the sea.

LM: "Hmph… Wouldn't it kill them to finish their drinks? I know this is a war, but they can't leave such good refreshments to waste."

Looking down, he then noticed something underneath the bar counter. Getting on one knee, he saw what looks like another one of those audio recorders the team have encountered lately. Out of curiosity, he picked it up and inspected thoroughly, mashing the play button and see what it said. What he got is a voice of a woman sounding a little depressed.

"Two weeks… It's been two weeks since I've last seen Sally. I thought that a nice little family vacation in Rapture would make her happy, since our work gets us preoccupied. I don't know what I was thinking… We turned our head away for one second looking at the jewels and she was gone. Turned one second, gone. We checked around Fort Frolic and no sign of her. Even spoke to the cops around here and they didn't see her. My husband gave up and told me to come home. He was even thinking that we could set up an adoption to replace her. But I didn't want to give up. Booker never gave up on me when he rescued me. I will never give up on Sally. After all, no adopted child will not replace my girl. So I stayed in Rapture to begin my search. Yet I still got nothing as this place is vast and quite busy with the New Year's celebration happening in two weeks. Perhaps if I could head down to one of the police precincts in the city, they might have a lead on her. Closest one is at Neptune's Bounty, so I'll start there. Don't worry Sally, I'm coming to get you."

The audio stopped playing as LM heard that message well.

LM: "Hmm… Sounds like we're not the only one that's having an issue in this city. Looks like this woman is trying to find this Sally girl. I wonder if she was able to find her, let alone if they are still alive."

Putting the audio diary away, he could hear his phone ringing. Taking it out, he could see the caller ID of 'Raven' on it with a picture of a raven in the background. Knowing it was the telepath, he picked it up to see what she wants.

LM: "Talk to me."

---

Moments before, Raven, Terra, and Beast Boy were walking down the hall like tunnel, searching for their teammates. During the search, Beast Boy looked around and was getting very nervous at the environment around them.

Beast Boy: "Dudes? Is it me, or is this place getting creepier?"

Rae looked back to her and answered him very dryly.

Raven: "It's just you… Now shut up and keep walking."

BB though was till nervous and he could see how dark and dingy the tunnels are.

Beast Boy: "Sorry Rae, but these tunnels are starting to scare me. I mean, I feel like we're not the only one in these tunnels. I could've sworn that we are being watched."

He turned back thing, he saw something following them, but there was nothing. However, he wasn't looking as he approached a bunch of steel pipes that were left discarded for a while. The moment he hit them, they tumbled over each other and made loud sounds. Just the noise alone started him as he jumped back and panicked. Seeing the pipes scattered on the floor, he took a breather and thought that it was a false alarm. Terra looked to him and could tell that she made a bit of a mistake.

Terra: "Really, Beast Boy? You said that we are being watched? I'm pretty sure the moment they heard that, they would come to us. No doubt about it."

The changeling turned to her and explained about what just happened.

Beast Boy: "Hey! That nearly startled me! I thought that was a splicer!"

The two continued to argue until Raven stopped them, hearing something close by.

Raven: "Shh… Quiet! Do you hear that? Sounds like someone's coming."

Beast Boy used his sensitive ears and could hear that as well.

Beast Boy: "You're right, Rae. Someone is coming, and it sounds like it's getting closer."

Terra then deducted the one thing that makes the most logical sense.

Terra: "Maybe it's more of the splicers, obviously hearing that noise you made, Beast Boy."

She soon glared at the changeling as BB laughed a little sheepishly. Raven though ignored the argument and told them to focus.

Raven: "Whatever the case, we need to be at the ready. We can't let our guard down for some second."

The two turned to the telepath and both gave unison nods. Slowly, they got to cover in the path where the sound of steps were coming from and waited for whatever was coming. Raven closed her fist and it was engulfed in black energy while Beast Boy turned into a wolf to charge at whoever is out there. Terra though didn't want to use her Earth bending power, otherwise, she could bury everyone, including her teammates and herself. Looking down, she could see one of the steel pipes Beast Boy bumped into and picked it up, using it as an alternative weapon. The three waited for whatever comes to them and spotted three unknown shadows slowly approaching them. Seeinf them, Raven gestured a countdown and went from three… two… one… Just like that, they all charged in got out of cover and charged in, with their powers and brute force ready to fight. But as they charged in, they were stopped by exploding disks, a sonic blaster cannon, and two fists with charged starbolts. Just like that, the team was reunited in a strange way as Raven, Beast Boy, and Terra were facing Robin, Starfire, and Cyborg. The three looked at each other and was relieved that they found each other.

Starfire: "Raven! Beast Boy! Terra! Oh, we are so glad to see you again."

Knowing that it was their teammates they all lowered their weapons and powers and took a deep breather. The Titan Leader turned to Raven and apologized for what just happened.

Robin: "Sorry about that, Raven. I thought for certain that you guys are splicers."

Raven shrugged it off and was in agreement.

Raven: "You and me both, Robin. These people, whatever happened to them, lost their complete sanity. It's almost like they aren't human anymore."

Cyborg overheard that and was a little overzealous.

Cyborg: "Really Rae? I think they aren't human to begin with. Whatever is in their system, Adam or not, turned them into complete monsters. You got to be fully aware of what you are up against."

Robin looked to the hybrid and decided to let what he said slide.

Robin: "Regardless of what they were or used to be, at least we are together again for the moment. We can't separate when those splicers are around and in this underwater city."

He soon look around and noticed someone is missing from the team. Looking back to Rae, he asked for this missing individual.

Robin: "Where's LM?"

The telepath looked to him and could tell that he wants answers. So he took a deep sigh and explained it in detail.

Raven: "LM separated from us while we were searching for you."

There was a bit of silence as Robin snapped on her.

Robin: "What?! Why didn't you stop him from going on his own?! What were you thinking?"

Raven argued back and continued with her explanation.

Raven: "It's not our fault. He thought it was a good idea that he checked the other side to find you guys and split from us. It was under his orders. He said that we'll contact each other if we find you."

Robin listened to it and gave a deep sigh while rubbing the temples of his head. Indeed, LM was once a leader of his own team back in the day. But that doesn't mean that he would be taking his own orders. At lease he does keep in touch with the other Titans.

Robin: "Call him. Let him know that we're all here."

Raven nodded as she took her communicator out and automatically called LM's cell. After a couple of rings, she could hear the voice of the rebel Titan picking up.

LM: "Talk to me."

Raven: "LM, this is Raven. We have found Robin and the others. Got a little on edge at the moment, but at least we didn't hurt each other in the process."

There was a bit of silence as LM heard what transpired.

LM: "Okay… I'm going to pretend that didn't happen. Are you guys still at maintenance?"

Raven: "Yes we are. Get back to us so we can return to the search for the person that sent us that distress signal."

LM was quiet over this and decided to tell them to come to him.

LM: "That will be a negative, Raven. I think it's best that you guys leave the maintenance and head to my position instead. Turns out those tunnels aren't as safe as the rest of this upside down city. I was being pursued by some watcher. Could be a splicer, but difficult to tell because it was far away. It appears that this splicer can crawl along the walls and ceiling, making it easier to attack us."

Rae raised an eyebrow and was a little confused over something like that. Turning to Robin for an explanation, he was in agreement with their little black sheep.

Robin: "He's telling the truth. Starfire, Cyborg, and I saw something watching us while we were looking for you. Obviously, someone, or something, is watching our every move and is looking for the right moment in striking us when we're off our guard. If we don't know what we're up against this person, then we have to take up LM's advice."

Raven heard the leader's case and decided to take it as a compliment. Looking to the communicator, she asked the rebel Titan on where to go.

Raven: "All right. Where do you want us to meet you?"

Hearing that, LM told them where he was.

LM: "I'm at the lounge of some kind of movie theater called the Lightfoot Theater. It's not far from where we separated. Get to the spot we left and took the path I went to. It's a direct path and you don't have to worry about getting lost."

Raven nodded and decided to trust him on that one.

Raven: "Understood. We'll meet up with you as soon as we can. Just don't do anything stupid until we get there."

There was a bit of a laugh on the other line as LM joked around about it.

LM: "I don't keep promises Rae. Trouble always find me. Besides, I haven't see any splicer since I got here, so I'm in the clear for now. However, you all better get here as soon as possible, because who knows how long until they do come."

Raven: "Got it. We're on our way."

As soon as she hung up, Robin looked to her and asked if she knows the way.

Robin: "Do you know where LM went to when you split up?"

Raven looked to him and answered truthfully.

Raven: "I do, yes. It's not far from here."

Rob got serious as he ordered her to move.

Robin: "Then take us to him."

Soon enough, the group left the area with Raven taking the lead. As they were making their leave, the mysterious splicer saw them while clinging to the ceiling, keeping a close watch on them. Just then, another one crawled on the same ceiling and was next to the other one, asking about them.

"What do you see…? Is it someone new…?"

"More like someones… Young rascals with bizarre attire and new types of Plasmid powers I have never seen before. They are the rambunctious bunch, are they…?"

"Shall we go and greet them…? I've been itching for some fresh meat."

The first one looked to the group leaving and was cautious about this bunch.

"No… We are not going after them. Not yet…"

The second Splicer hanging on the ceiling turned to the first and was confused.

"What? But why?"

The first splicer turned to his comrade and told him why.

"This group is much different that the others that wondered around the tunnels. They seem well organized and smarter then they look. We need to keep our distance until the time is the others about this group. They need to be aware of them."

The second splicer was a bit quiet and decided to follow his advice. He quickly crawled away from him on the ceiling to speak with their comrades. The first one looked back to the team that disappeared and was curious.

"Soon… You will all perish under our might…:"

He soon crawled away on the ceiling and disappeared in the darkness.

---

Returning to LM, he was still at the lounge area and was looking at the liquor that was still around at the bar. When he heard that Raven and the others finally found the rest of the team, he was relieved and told him to meet up with him at the Lightfoot Theater. Since there were strange splicers down there, it wasn't safe for them. Then again, the entire city isn't safe for them. He just hope that they would get to him in time, otherwise, whatever was down there will kill them. Searching through the liquor, he picked up a bottle of Vodka and popped the cork. Taking a good whiff, he shook for a little bit and turned his head away in disgust.

LM: "Jesus Christ… This stuff smells awful! Damn liquor must've expired for some time. How do these people drink this stuff? Guess here in Rapture, people don't care if they get stomach poisoning. Still, wouldn't hurt for them to have Senor Sangria."

Giving out a deep sigh, LM place the Vodka bottle on the shelf and walked away. Figuring there's not much to have that's fresh, he started to dig into his jacket pocket and took out a Snickers bar he got during the inspection trip. Looking to it, he smiled and was pleased with this little chocolate bar.

LM: "Oh well, I guess I could just have this now and wait until we leave. Though I wish I brought more during these inspections. I always go a little impatient when I'm hungry."

He started to open the wrapper up and was about to take a bite on his snack. But before he could actually do that, he heard something that was a very creepy rhyme sung by a girl.

"Mr. Bubbles, Mr. Bubbles;
Are you there, Are you there;
Come and give me lollies, Come and give me dollies;
Teddy bear, Teddy bear;"

The rebel Titan was a little quiet when he heard it and wondered what that was about. Lowering his candy bar, he looked to the other end of where the voice was and called this person out.

LM: "Hello? Is someone there?"

There was a bit of silence as no one responded. Figuring this could be a trap, he went inside his jacket and took his pistol out with his free hand. Slowly, he walked on down through the lounge and away from the bar, reaching the corner and turning to the right. Walking straight ahead, he spotted a theater like door that he believes goes straight to the theater itself. Looking around, he wondered where the voice was coming from. That is until he heard it again.

"Almost done little Angel. Don't cry…"

Hearing that again, LM turned to the door to his right and figured that the girl's voice was coming from within the theater. Lifting his pistol up, he slowly walked to the door and gently pushed it, just to not make a sound if someone is around. Once he walked in quietly, he walked forward and looked at his surroundings. To his point of view, it does look like this was actually a theater, a small one, but a theater none the less. There were rows of chairs on a slanted ramp while at the front, a small stage was there with a curtain closed and a couple of lights shining. Of course, the place had seen worse for wares with the folded chairs ripped and strewn across the floor and a couple of spotlights were on the stage floor with others blinking on and off. He could even see a couple of dead bodies scattered here and there, preferably some people that were trying to hide from whatever attacked them but didn't make it. The rebel looked to this scene and knew that these are the peoples graves as he doesn't want to disturb them. Still, he needed to be careful. After all, who knows if these dead bodies are actually dead. He started to check the area to see where the voice was coming from. As he was looking around, he heard a sound of a stab that was loud and clear. He quickly turned to the left where the sound came from and pointed the pistol at whatever was there. But when he did that, he was caught by such a surprise. Right in front of him was a little girl no more then seven with brown hair wrapped in a bow and a sundress that looked raggedy and dirty. Her skin was pale like Raven's and she was bear footed. But the one thing he noticed was a strange looking syringe that was filled with a glowing red liquid. The girl was plunging the syringe into one of the dead bodies and was humming a little tune.

"Good girls gather, gather, gather…"

LM looked at the strange girl and was a little weirded out by this girl. But what happened next was something he didn't expect. Once she was done extracting the blood like substance, she got up and opened the top of the tube and drank it up like it's juice. But then there are the eyes… They are yellow with a glowing hint around them, like something out of horror movies. The rebel Titan stared at the girl for a while and was very silent over what he saw. Lowering his pistol, he mouthed out the words without uttering it out, 'What the fuck…'. The strange girl finished drinking the substance and placed the cap back on, turning to get to somewhere. But when she saw LM standing there with his pistol in hand, she panicked and fell off his rear, crawling back to the corpse she extracted. LM noticed her scared and tries to calm her down, even after what he'd witness.

LM: "Whoa, whoa… Easy there… I'm not here to hurt you."

Still the girl was in fear of this person and had her back up against the corpse. See this, he looked down to his hand and noticed that he's still carrying the pistol. Looking up to her, he found out why she was so afraid of him.

LM: "Oh… I see… You are scared of this, are you? No worries. I'll put it away."

To that end, he slowly placed his pistol into his holster underneath his jacket and was unarmed for the child. Showing that he has no gun, he told her that everything is all right.

LM: "See? No pistol in my hand. You're safe now."

But the girl didn't believe that as she was still in fear of this stranger. LM sighed and knew that this was going to take a while. Bending down on one knee, he offered his hand to her and gave her a pleasant smile.

LM: "My name is LM. I'm with the Teen Titans. What's your name?"

The girl still wouldn't answer as she was completely scared. Still, the rebel Titan didn't give up as he tried to coax her out.

LM: "Now, there's nothing to be afraid of. I'm here to help. Just take my hand and I'll protect you."

The young girl looked to him and then his hand. Seeing this, she soon turned away and didn't want to go near him. LM looked to this and knew this wasn't going anywhere. With these splicers all over the place, he knows that he has to look after the girl, even if she was drinking blood from a syringe tube. But how to trust her? That's when you remembered the candy bar you still have in your other hand. Deciding to do it the old fashion way and asked her something.

LM: "Hey! Do you like candy? You hungry?"

He then showed her the Snickers bars and offered it to her.

LM: "Here! It's a candy bar. It's good for you."

The girl looked to the candy bar and was a little hesitant. Seeing this, LM told her that it's safe.

LM: "Don't worry; it's not poisonous. I'll show you."

He started to open the wrapper and took a small piece off the bar. He then put it into his mouth, chew it, and then swallow it to show how good it is. Once he was done, he looked to the girl and told him that he was alright.

LM: "You see? Tastes really good! Here, try it."

He then gave the rest of the Snickers to the girl, hoping to get her to his side. Still, the girl wouldn't budge an inch as she was looking terrified. Still, LM wouldn't give up on her just yet. So he shook that candy bar again and told her to get it.

LM: "I said, take it."

Yet the girl kept refusing, not wanting to go near him. Groaning to himself, he decided to move on to plan C.

LM: "Okay. How about this. I'll lay it down on the floor and I'll let you take it.

He placed it on the floor and got up to see her take it on the floor.

LM: "There! Bon appetite!"

The little girl looked down to the candy bar and up to the rebel. Seeing it on the floor, she was a bit hungry and wanted to get something to eat. Even if she drank the substance in the corpse, she wanted something sweet. Slowly approaching it, she reached out her hand and grabbed the chocolate bar from the floor. But just as she was doing that, LM took that opportunity and grabbed her by the arm.

LM: "Got you!"

The girl immediately freaked out and struggled to get out of the situation. LM though kept calming her down and told her to be quiet.

LM: "Shh… Be quiet! Stop struggling! I'm not here to harm you! Just hold still and let me help you."

The girl continued to pry herself out, but to no avail. So giving that she was running out of options, she said the one thing that caught the Titan off guard.

"MR. BUBBLES!"

LM looked at her strangely and was confused by the name.

LM: "Mr. Bubbles? Who…"

Suddenly, he could hear a loud roar coming from close by. Of course what he didn't expect it a drill hurtling towards him right in the face. Seeing that, he reacted to focusing and bending backwards close to the ground, letting the girl go in the process. The drill flew above him as it went straight to a nearby wall and latched itself completely. The rebel quickly got up to see the drill latched onto the wall before it started to detach and retract back to someplace. Turning back to the direction of the drill being retracted, he saw something on the stage that he didn't expect. Standing on the stage is a huge metal man in an old fashioned diving suit who's big and intimidating. It has a huge air canister on its back, a metal cage wrapped around the helmet, and a drill connected on its right hand that had launched right at you. There was a glow through the portholes and were glowing on the inside and it was glowing red in anger. It then roared out loud to the Titan that it nearly shook the theater. LM looked to the huge behemoth and didn't expect this monster, at all.

LM: "Well shit..."

The huge metal creature jumped off the stage and landed on the ground looking up to the rebel with sheer hatred. Winding back its drill, it swung it like a bat and hit a theater chair right at the target. LM focused hard and jumped up to perform an acrobatic move, avoiding the chair that was below him. The metal monster swung the next chair, and the next, and the next, letting them fly to his position. The Titan continuously flipped and twisted in the air, jumping from one side to the other to avoid the flying objects. The moment he landed on the ground, he took out both of his Mac11's and fired right at the creature. The bullets hit the metal beast, but the armor like body deflected off of it. Still, LM can't back down as he kept on firing away. The metal monster quickly got into a stance and bolted right to the rebel as he continued to fire right at it. But as soon as it got close to him, LM had little choice but to cover himself up for the next hit. The beast then winded back and hit the Titan with its ordinary fist. He was pushed by the punch and was went flying to the wall, slamming into it in the process. Slouching back down, he quickly got back up and was going to fight back. Unfortunately, the beast rushed to him again and this time, used the drill to penetrate him from the gut. LM knew he was in danger and focused hard to let time slow down. Jumping up to the wall, he bounced off it and did a somersault over the brute as it missed him and drilled right into the wall. The metal monster struggled to get its drill of the wall and it was so deep, it was impossible to get out. Landing on the other side, LM continued to fire with dual weapons and kept on bringing the punishment on it. Giving how many bullets he'd wasted, he realized that it was getting tedious and complained about it.

LM: "Sheesh... How many bullets does it take to bring you down?! Die already!?"

He continued to fire more and more just so he could get a good enough shot. The metal monster was getting frustrated as it couldn't take it anymore. Activating its drill, it spun violently as he slammed to the ground. That caused the entire foundation to shake violently as LM started to loose his balance, causing himself to fall to the floor and on his back. The rebel Titan groaned to himself and didn't expect that to happen at all. Trying to recover, he looked up to see the metal lug approaching him and was about to impale him. In a bit of a panic, he crawled backwards and to get away from it as it pounded its drill over and over again, only to miss him but the few inches from the crotch. LM looked to the drill near his privates and had the look of relief, yet fear. He soon looked up to the metal creature and was a bit flabbergasted.

LM: "Seriously?!"

The drill continues to pound away from the ground, trying to impale the Titan with its drill. Yet he continues to avoid the near death experience by pointy object. He needed an escape plan and fast before he runs out of ground to crawl away from. Dropping his Mac 11s, he quickly dug inside his jacket while using one hand to crawl away. The huge metal monster got him where it wants him as it lifted its spinning drill to deliver the final blow. LM finally got something from his hand and took out a flash bang grenade, arming it and tossing it to its face. The creature was about to kill the rebel when the object went up to its metal mask and detonated right in front of it. LM turned his head away to prevent himself from getting blinded. But the huge being wasn't so lucky as it saw a white light and was blinded for the moment. Seeing it out, LM took the opportunity in taking it down. Charging in, he soon delivered a number of high and low blows to the metal helmet with sheer focus and power. The creature staggered for a little bit and was dazed, bringing it down with the stopped drill on the floor. Looking to that, the rebel Titan took that opportunity and charged in, getting his feet on the drill and launching himself upward, planting a straight kick to the bottom part of the helmet, bringing it backwards from surprise. LM did a flip in the air in slow motion and was gravity defining. Landing on the ground with his hands and knees were on the ground, he looked up to see if that did the trick. But sadly, it has proven ineffective as the metal brute got angry and the lights in the potholes glowing blood red. Pointing its drill to him, it spun incredibly fast and fired right at him. The Titan saw this and quickly rolled out of the way, just for the drill to miss him completely. He looked back to see the drill pulled back like a boomerang and was attached to the creature's arm. Seeing this, he knew what he did.

LM: "And I made him angry… Great…"

Turning to him, the metal scuba diver fired the drill right at him again. Once again, LM rolled out of the way and then got up to made a mad dash to avoid that fire power. The huge creature fight and drill at him again and again, but just missed him by inches as he could feel the sharp sides nearly clipped the back end of his trench coat jacket. He needed to retaliate and fast as he can't get near his target. Seeing his Mac 11s on the ground, he stretched his hands out and focused hard. That is when the guns floated off the ground and flew straight to him. Both guns got to his hands as he grabbed them with ease, shooting them right at the metal monster. Soon enough, it became a stalemate as LM ran in a circle to keep on shooting, jumping over chairs, while the metal creature fired its drill, only to miss him more and more. That's when it started to think as his speed made it impossible to miss him completely. So, it decided to apply the breaks by shooting the drill, only this time, to aim at the front instead of the back. LM saw it trying to stop him and dodged that attack, coming down to his knees and sliding beneath the metal wire connected to the drill. At first, he was in the clear, but unfortunately, he didn't expect what's going to come next. As he was sliding, he spotted the girl he was trying to save blocking his path. Realizing it, he twisted his body and tried to stop, only to trip off his knees and rolled around the floor, passing the girl and smashing through a bunch of chairs. Groaning to himself, he struggled and pushed the chairs away from him. He rubbed the back of his head and was a bit angry over what has happened.

LM: "Damn it, girl. I'm trying to help you. The least you can do is get out of my way!"

As he got up, he didn't see the creature coming up to him and reached its huge hand at him. LM soon looked up and all he saw is a huge hand engulfing his entire face. He was caught off guard as the metal being lifted him up in the air and shook him violently, trying to choke the life out of him. The rebel Titan struggled so much and couldn't free himself. He needs to make an escape and fast before he passes out completely. Then, remembering that he still has his Mac 11s with him, slowly lifted him to the head and twisted to the being, pulling the trigger. The bullets hit the helmet as the creature felt that, struggling to get itself out of the way of bullet fire. With one swift move, it flung the rebel and tossed him to the side of theater. He then tumbled on the ground, plowing through more theater chairs, until stopping dead in his tracks. LM coughed up a bit as he was trying to get air back into his lungs.

LM: "Jesus Christ! That stinks! When was the last time this freak had a bath?"

Turning back to the creature, he saw it in agony and knew he got the chance to finish it. Pointing his Mac11s, he was about to fire, when he heard a click, but no bullets coming out of it. Looking to his guns, he realized that he had empty clips and sighed to himself.

LM: "Crap… Perfect timing boys."

The huge metal beast gave out another roar as he was ready to put a stop to the rebel. LM put his Mac11s and get to his back to grab his M739 Light Machine Gun. Loading it up, he pointed his gun and gave a bit of a smirk.

LM: "All right, big guy. Let's dance..."

The moment he pulled the trigger, multiple bullets came out and the metal being was immediately bombarded by they. It stumbled around and spun in a circle, trying to cover itself from the attack. LM soon enough saw a bit of a rupture in the tank and rips on the metal plating, meaning that its working. By the time it turned to him, it was seething and ran up to him. LM could see this and rushed in as well, getting closer for some more damage. By the time they got close, the metal creature lifted its drill to deliver the killing blow. The Titan quickly parried out of the attack and stuck his arm out that's holding the weapon to fire point blank right at the helmet. The creature could feel it as the shots nearly penetrated the metal plating. It staggered back and covered its face from the pain. With it weakening, LM charged in and grabbed the cage of the helmet, gripping it tightly to get an opening and using his rifle hand to push the rifle deep into the metal surface. The metal creature knew that its life was in danger as it struggled to escape it. After all the struggling, it managed to free itself and used the huge hand to slap the two arms away from him. LM stumbled back and got himself off guard by opening himself up. The huge metal creature found its opening and wind its drill back to deliver an impaling blow. Quickly, the rebel is repositioning himself and got his legs in a defensive position. From there, he used his gun as a defensive weapon and blocked the drill from the side as sparks came from both weapons. With deep focusing, the rebel Titan pushed his rifle away, causing the metal creature to stumble back. He soon charged in and continued to shoot right at his target. The creature staggered and has had it with him. It charged in and went right to the attack. LM then ran straight towards him while shooting his weapon at it. The two were close to each other as they were ready to battle. The metal monster pulled its drill back and was ready crush him. The Titan saw it from a mile away and brought his body down into a slide as he went through the wide legs of the brute and went under it. The big creature missed him as it wondered what happened. That's when LM got up, turned around, and sprayed more bullets from behind the creature. It felt that and screamed in complete pain as the bullets pierced its tough back. During the attack, LM noticed that the air tank was penetrated and was spewing out steam. Seeing the weakness, he ran to it and placed his rifle to the tank, wanting to finish the blow.

LM: "Game over, bitch."

He was about to pull the trigger when the unexpected happened. The metal creature did a quick turn and backed hand him with a heavy fist. The rebel was knocked down because of it and rolled on the floor. LM shook off the hit and rubbed his chin to get the feeling back from his lower jaw. Looking around, he noticed that he dropped his M739 Light Machine Gun and it laid there in front of him. He quickly crawled to it in order to get his hands on his weapon. But just as he was about to get it, he heard the loud foot steps as the big metal boot was in front of him and crushed the gun on contact. LM saw this and slowly looked up to see the huge behemoth towering over him with a red glow in his portholes. It soon grabbed the rebel by the trench coat and tossed him to the other side of the theater. He rolled around until he was on his back and was getting dazed. Turning to his right, he could see the young girl he's trying to save, looking very frightened. She soon turned to the creature approaching its enemy and backed away. Seeing her doing that, he knew it meant trouble is coming. Looking straight away, the creature was fast approaching him with its drill heavily spinning. Having little time to escape, he had to get on the defensive. Turning his head to the right, he could see a loose piece of a chair that was detached for quite some time. Lifting his hand to it, it started to levitate and flew right to the rebel. By the time he grabbed it, he looked back at the metal creature and it looked ready to dish out some punishment. With its drill spinning, it was going to slam that weapon to his head. Looking to this, he got the piece of the seat in front of his face and held it with both hands. The metal man slammed the drill to the seat cushion and spun it to penetrate the object. LM held on as much as he could as the drill pushed on further. He could see the point stilling out in the middle while splinters were raining down on his face. He could see the drill getting awfully close to breaking through the piece of furniture and thought that it was pretty much a goner. But just as he thought that he was a goner…

Raven: "Azarath, Mentrion, Zinthos!"

Almost immediately, the creature was incased in a black aura as it couldn't move a single inch. It then floated up in the air before getting tossed into the middle of the theater and through rows of seats. LM survived that whole ordeal and was confused on what just happened. Slowly sitting up, he saw something that he was glad to see. Standing before him are the Teen Titans, all together again and very confident. He soon got up and was happy to see them.

LM: "Guys! Oh, I'm so glad to see you. I thought for certain that I was a goner!"

When he approached Robin, he wasn't too pleased as he reminded him of what just happened.

Robin: "LM, I thought we told you on not doing anything stupid. Yet we see you nearly getting yourself killed."

The rebel knew the leader wanted an explanation as he spoke about it.

LM: "Hey, it's like I said before. Trouble always find me."

Rob starred him down and wanted to speak to him further. That however was soon interrupted when they heard a loud roar coming from close by. They all soon looked to the end of the theater to see the huge metal creature lumbering out of the wreck it caused with the piece of furniture still attached to the drill. With a quick swing, it unlatched itself from the piece of furniture and roared out more time. The team kept their ground as Terra was in awe by this being.

Terra: "Whoa… What is that thing? Some kind of mutant scuba diver or something?"

LM got with his comrades as he pulled out his SS Shotgun from his back and loaded it up for battle.

LM: "Don't know, don't care. From what I've experienced, this thing is tough and resilient. Took him out with everything I got and is still moving."

The Titan leader took his Bo Staff out and got into a stance to prepare himself for battle.

Robin: "Not all enemies are invincible, LM. They all have a weakness. We just need to exploit it."

The rebel Titan rolled his eyes and sighed, explaining another reason why he can't take it down.

LM: "Well, I was working on exploiting this thing, however I was a little distracted of not harming the girl."

Rob soon did a double take after hearing that and was a little confused.

Robin: "Girl? What girl?"

That's then the rebel pointed to the direction of the busted down chairs and answered back.

LM: "That girl. I saw her in the theater and tried to help her out. Of course, that was until this thing showed up and attacked me."

Robin soon turned to his direction as saw a young girl with pale skin and glowing yellow eyes hiding behind one of the damaged chairs. As first, he thought that way she looks was very creepy. However, he knew that she's an innocent and is in danger. So he soon turned to Beast Boy and asked for a favor.

Robin: "Beast Boy, take the girl and get her as far away form the place as you can."

BB turned to the leader and was a little worried.

Beast Boy: "Excuse me? C'mon Rob, I'm a Titan, not a babysitter."

Robin though was a little impatient and told him to do it.

Robin: "Just do it! Take her someplace safe, or find her family. They got to be close by, I hope. Now go!"

Beast Boy heard him and decided to follow his order. Turning into a cheetah, he rushed to the girl and shifted back, picking her up and making a break for it.

Beast Boy: "I got the girl! I'll make sure that she's safe and away from harm!"

As he was leaving, the little girl was in a panic and struggled to escape.

"No! Let me go! Mr. B! Help me!"

The metal monster turned to see the changeling having the girl in his possession. Seeing that, it roared out loud and went right after them. But just as it was about to go after them, a star bolt hit the ground in front of it and blocked its path. The creature looked up to see Starfire floating off the ground and had her arm lifted up with a fist glowing in a green projectile.

Starfire: "Do not go near our friend, you huge brute of a monster."

The creature looked to the Titans and was very angry over it. Its portholes was glowing brighter and was ready to kill off anyone that get in its way. The Titans got into their position and were ready for another battle. Robin pointed his staff right at being and asked Robin something.

Robin: "This thing you're facing, how tough is it?"

LM pointed his shotgun to it and gave him a bit of a warning.

LM: "Tough? Let's just he's like Cinderblock. Bigger they are, harder they fall."

Robin heard that and decided to smirk over that answer.

Robin: "Sounds like my kind of fun. Titans, GO!"

Soon enough, the group charged in as they headed straight to the metal being. The creature roared and charged in, letting the drill spinning violently. Both sides drew closer and closer as they were ready for the battle of their lives. The creature headed to the Titan leader and pulled back its weapon to plunge it into the head. The leader quickly placed the staff and the ground and used it as a pole vault, launching himself into the air and over the enemy, letting it miss him completely. As he was over it, he took out three exploding disks from his utility belt and threw them right at the creature. The disks hit its back and exploded, having it stumble around for a bit. Feeling that, it turned around and fired its drill right at him, only to miss him by a few inches. It pulled the drill back with its cable as Robin landed on the ground safely. It was going to attack again, only to be bombarded by multiple green and black projectiles from above. Looking up, it could see Starfire and Raven with their hands glowing green and black and was furious by the attack. Pointing its drill arm up, it fired it's weapon right at them. The two immediately split up and the drill flew right between them. Starfire went to the left and fired more Starbolts right at it. Still, it has proven to be of little effect as it barely damaged the creature. Raven flew to the right and took a different course of action. Lifting her hands up, she encased a bunch of loose seats in her dark magic and lifted them up in the air, gesturing to toss them to the metal being. The chairs hit it, but it has proven to be effective at all. It simply angered the brute as it turned around and fired the drill at it. Raven though didn't avoid it as the weapon hit her and pierced her chest. But as that happened, her body went completely black and shatters into pieces, shifting into ravens and flying towards the monster. It was unprepared for that as the birds swarmed it and flew all over the place. The creature moved around and tried to shoo the birds away, but it has proven useless for it. As it was distracted, LM and Cyborg fast approached it and armed their weapons for battle.

Cyborg: "Man, this guy's not playing around huh?"

LM: "You have no idea. At least the girl is away from danger. I just hope Beast Boy doesn't get killed."

They soon pointed their weapons right at their target and fired away. At the same time, the black birds flew away while the projectiles hit it continuously. The creature was getting incredibly annoyed by all of this and decided to take care of them completely. Turning to the two, it charged right in to begin the assault. Seeing this, the two jumped out of the way as Terra jumped in with her eyes glowing yellow. With her hands glowing the same color, she lifted her hands up and a stone wall rose form the floor and created a blockade that the being hit. Due to that, it used the drill to punch to smash through while Terra got out of the way. Breaching the wall, the creature looked around and realized that it was tricked. It roared out loud and really had it with the team, beginning its next attack.

At the same time, Beast Boy left the Lightfoot Theater and was running through an eerie hall holding the young girl to his body. As he was taking the girl to safety, she was squirming around and was trying to get out.

"Let me go! Let me GO! I want to be with Mr. B! Please!"

Beast Boy hear her screaming over and over and was getting a bit of a headache.

Beast Boy: "Calm down dudette! I'm one of the good guys! I'm here to help!"

"No! You're a bad man! You're just like all the other bad men that want to kill me! I don't like you!"

BB was getting a little aggravated and told her that it wasn't true.

Beast Boy: "C'mon girl! Why can't you accept that my friends and I aren't bad? The least you can do is show some gratitude in saving you."

By the time he said that, the girl responded by opening her mouth and bit the changeling by the shoulder. He soon felt that and screamed out loud in an anime like style, stopping dead in his tracks and demanding why she did that.

Beast Boy: "Damn! That hurts!"

He soon placed the girl on the floor and gave it to her straight.

Beast Boy: "What's your deal! We are here to find this person that sent a distress signal and this is what we got. A city filled with lunatics, a metal freak that wants to kill us. And now you biting me like a vampire or something! I don't know what's going on around here, but none of this isn't normal! At all! So if you want help, you should trust me. Got it?"

The little girl turned her head away and pouted, really not wanting his help. It's almost like Beast Boy is a stranger, which to her, he really is. What the two didn't know is that a small group of shadows arrived when they heard the scream and were getting closer. BB didn't know about it as he had his back turned. But the little girl saw it as she backed up and screamed the loudest scream. The green Titan placed his hands on his pointy ears to told her to be quiet.

Beast Boy: "AHH! Quiet, dudette. Are you trying to get into trouble?!"

Just as he asked that, he heard a raspy and dangerous voice from behind.

"Actually kid, trouble has found you…"

The moment he heard it, his blood started to run cold and he slowly turned behind to see four men in disheveled suits and were wearing animal masks that were meant for a fancy party. Starring at them for a few seconds, he soon realized what he was in for.

Beast Boy: "Oh crud…"

Just as he said it, one of the stick his hand out and was ready to attack. The changeling then turned to the girl and gripped her in a bear hug to protect her. What he didn't expect was that a forceful find came out of his hand and pushed the two to the end of the hallway. At the end, there was a glass wall that was showing the lower level of some kind of lobby as they smashed through it. They soon stopped as Beast Boy rolled around, dropped the girl and hit the back of his head and the remains of a T-Bone stairway with the bottom half nearly gone and water was pouring down the middle. Beast Boy sat there nearly lifeless as was in an unconscious state.

Beast Boy's POV

Ow… That hurt, a lot. What happened? All I could remember is those four splicer dudes behind and I had to protect the girl. The next thing I knew is I was hit by something forceful and took the two of us for a ride. The rest was such a blur. I remember going through the glass, but the rest was mostly a deep impact. Am I dead? Did they kill me? Oh, this would blow if I die already. I haven't married Terra yet.

"Is he dead?"

"No, he's still breathing and he has a pulse. Sheesh, this one is a tough cookie."

Wait… Did I hear that? I could hear voices, a little mumbled, but it is enough to listen to. I think one of them says I'm alive. I groaned a little and tried to open my eyes. A bit blurry at first, but I could see enough to witness what looks like two of those splicers looking me over while I saw two more keeping the girl from escaping.

"Look at this one. He looks more like a freak than us."

"Tell me about it. The green skin, those pointy ears, that tooth sticking out of his mouth. It almost looks like he ran away from the circus or something. Wonder if he has any Adam in him."

Just then, I could hear one of them in the back calling the other two out.

"Hey! The two of you get back here! Forget about the boy! We got a Little Sister with enough Adam to keep us well fed."

The two splicers looked to him and got up, approaching to aid the other two. I blanked out once more, as I was slipping in and out of consciousness. When I regained my sight, I could see the three holding the girl down while the fourth one paced back and forth with an intent to kill.

"Well now, look what we have here. A Little Sister all lost and alone and no Big Daddy around to protect her. This is going to be easy street for us boys. Now let's cut this bitch wide open to get the slug in her belly, shall we?"

I could see him drawing a sharp, but rusty knife out of his pocket, looking ready to kill her. In my head, I was scared for her and tried to get up. But no matter how hard I tried, my body wouldn't respond. All I had to do is watch as they were intent in killing an innocent life.

"No! NO! Mr. B! Mr. B!"

The splicer kneeled down and trace the knife on her chest, sounding a little coy.

"You're little bodyguard is not here to take care of you, sweetie. It's just you, me, my friends, and a bit of tasty Adam for us to drink."

The girl continues to struggle as the splicer was ready to plunge the knife to the stomach. Again, I tried to get up, yet my body wouldn't respond with my mind. I started to blank out again as I don't know if the girl got killed or not. That's when I head a loud roar followed by a loud stomp on the ground. Along with voices of those I've heard and one I did not hear.

"What the Hell! What's that Alpha Daddy doing here?"

"Let the girl go!"

"Hang on. Who the bloody Hell are you? Are you friends with this green freak over there."

"I said let the girl go, or you'll regret it."

"Not going to happen bud. Get 'em boys!"

"Delta, with me!"

Before I know it, there were guns firing and screams of the girl as I couldn't make out what's going on. Luckily, the fight only lasted a few minutes as the room was silent. I was able to get my sight back again to see something very unexpected. Difficult to tell, but it looks like all those splicers are dead while the girl is still alive. But in between her are two different individuals that don't look like splicers. One is a normal person wearing a wool like sweater and was holding an old fashioned Tommy gun. The other looks like another one of those metal things my team is fighting, but it looked different. Despite the metal and the glowing porthole, it almost look human in nature. They looked down to see the scared girl as the person in the wool sweater approached her and offered a hand.

"Hey there…"

The girl staggered back and rested on the Vita Chamber behind her.

"Hey now, it's okay. I'm not here to hurt you. Here, let me help you. There's nothing to be afraid of."

He offered a hand out to her and the girl was still scared about it. However, his smiled warmed her and she was intrigued about it. Getting up, she slowly walked to him and raised her hand to him. The last thing I saw before I passed out again was that this person's hand was glowing white. I was unconscious for that time until I heard the sound of loud footsteps getting closer. I opened my eyes again, I could see the taller big daddy close to me with a drill attached to its arm. But behind it, I saw something very strange. The man was there, but the girl was different. Her eyes glowed yellow before, but now they were a normal and has no glow to it. The girl looked to herself and was pleased that she was back to her old self and had her hands together in thanks.

"Thank you, mister. Thank you for saving me."

The man smiled as he told her that it was all right.

"Just doing my job. Now get into those vents and head to Dr. Tennenbaum. She'll take care of you."

The girl nodded as she hurried to a fancy like vent close by, climbing up into it to get to what the person said. The creature moaned to get to the person's attention a he turned to see it looking a little antsy.

"What is it, Delta?"

I blacked out again as I was really beginning to lose it. Thankfully I opened one more time to see the person in a closer look. Didn't get much of his face, but I looked to his wrist and noticed a chain tattoo on it. I don't know what it meant, but it had to be something. Looking to me, he seemed worried.

"Shit. It's one of the people Elizabeth told us about. Looks like he's hurt. I have to call it in."

Getting up, he turned on some old fashioned radio to contact someone.

"Elizabeth, this is Jack. We got a problem."

I could hear a crackling on the radio as some one responded to it.

"I hear you Jack, what is the problem?"

"We have one of the people you want us to keep track of. Looks like he got separated from the group while keeping a Little Sister safe. Was ambushed by a small group of splicers and is badly hurt."

"How is he?"

This person, this Jack as he called himself, checked on me again and placed his fingers on my neck, checking on my pulse.

"His pulse is steady. His breathing is normal. But it looks as though he has a concussion and there's a cut on his forehead."

He got up and looked around the area, seeing the shattered glass on the second floor.

"Looks like one of them used a Sonic Boom Plasmid to push him through the window on the second floor and brought him down to the first, right to the broken staircase."

"Hmm… An attack like that would've killed a man, but he's more resilient than I thought."

"Yeah, well he's still badly injured. What should we do? Should we take him to Holy Grounds to be patched up."

There was a bit of silence as Elizabeth answered back.

"No, leave him. He's going to survive. His team isn't far away, I'm sure that they'll aid him."

Jack was silent about this and explained a bit more of the situation.

"Are you sure?"

"I'm positive. You and Delta need to stay clear from them until it's time to bring them in. They have a role to play in this city. They just need to stay on that path. Now keep close watch on them, would you kindly?"

Jack was silent as he responded in a calm manner.

"But of course. Over and out."

He turned off his radio and turned to the metal creature that's called Delta.

"Come now, Delta. We still have work to do."

He soon walked away from me as this Delta thing looked to me before following him. That's when I blanked out one more time and went into a deep sleep.

And that's the end of chapter four of BioTitans. Man that was a good one with the Big Daddy fight. Sorry if I had to cut it off, but I think it's best doing that for the chapter to end on a much more lighter note. Oh, and for those of you wondering about Beast Boy, he's still alive. Don't worry; I'm not going to kill off the Titans, after all they are a well knit team. As for the next chapter, I'm going to finish of the Titans vs. Big Daddy fight and introduce an enemy even worse than a Big Daddy. Andrew Ryan. Please Review. #WherearetheGoodCartoons?
