Alternate Universe
-----------------------
On Titan Island, two vehicles leaped out of the giant black edged ring. Three distant Phoenix-bots fired their red energy bolts. Two were fired at the ring. The others missed the T-Car. Both the R-Cycle and T-Car drove out on top of the water of the bay.
Richard rode the now hydroplaning R-Cycle and yelled out, "Ya Who! I got to get me one of these."
Jinxie now driving/boating the T-Car, said into her communicator, "Robin, You're leaving us behind. We'll come ashore behind you. Have fun with the diversion."
Richard's voice responded, "Got it. Robin out."
Kori said from the back seat, "I really wish to go out and destroy those Phoenix-bots."
Tara said, "We all do, but you got a different part to play."
Kori asked, "Friend Terra, how is your back?"
Tara smiled, "Feeling just fine. Better that new. Raven knows her stuff."
Kori said, "Since there is no feeling of hostilities, I suggest we should hold a party of gratitude for our new friends."
Tara said, "Sounds great."
Jinxie added, "Same here. Get ready. Here comes the shore."
-------------------------------
Two Phoenix-bots dragged a man between them: each one holding onto an arm. The man was athletic looking and dressed in a blue jogging suit. His face had a large bruise on it.
They went through a side door.
The room was large, even though it has an eight-foot ceiling. Spaced even across the ceiling are hundreds of metal hooks. Hanging from forty of the hooks were webbed cocoons. Each one of the cocoons varied in length from 5 ½ to 6 ½ feet.
The carried man was brought before the room's only occupants: The Advisor and Fang.
The Advisor was holding a small red box with golden inscriptions written over it.
The Advisor said, "Please stand him up, my dears."
The Phoenix-bots stood the jogger up.
The man pleaded, "Please, let me go. I didn't do anything. I'm no rebel."
The Advisor opened the box and with his right hand, pulled out a glowing sphere of red light. The light changed to various shades of red as it pulsed.
The Advisor looked at the light and said, "You are not too pleased, my friend."
The sphere of light turned to a deep red. The Advisor looked at the jogger and then he smiled. The jogger nervously smiled back.
The Advisor shoved the sphere into the jogger's forehead. The jogger started screaming as the sphere sank into his head. When the sphere totally entered the man's skull, he became quiet, with his eyes closed. The jogger's eyes opened and they glowed brightly red.
The jogger in a deep voice announced, "Fools! What do you think you are trying to do to me?"
The Advisor said, "Nothing much. Just trying to break you up into ten thousand tiny little pieces, my friend. A little bit of you in one body, a little bit in another. Soon, your power will be spread out thin."
The possessed jogger said, "Mortal! When I come, you will be the first one I will torture! You cannot stop my arrival! You cannot stop Trigon!"
The Advisor said, "Yes, yes, we had this conversation many times before. Fang, be a good boy and wrap him."
Fang's reached out and grabbed the jogger. From his mouth spewed webbing on the jogger. The jogger just glared as the webbing covered him to form a cocoon. After he was covered, the two Phoenix-bots picked up the webbed cocoon containing the man and hung it on another hook.
---------------------------------------
Phoenix was sat in the throne in the room with blood-red glowing scripture written on the floor. She struggled to stand up, but some unseen forced bonded her to the chair. The room's double doors opened and The Advisor walked in.
Phoenix screamed in fury, "Release me from this chair, NOW! A gate had opened and closed at Titan's Island. I've felt it!"
The Advisor smoothly said, "My Lady, it your own body that holds you there. It needs the power gathered by the throne. Please hold still as I release you."
The Advisor walked to behind the throne.
Phoenix demanded, "Assign all my robots to go after these invaders."
The Advisor waved his hand over the head of the throne and said, "There. You are released, My Lady. I suggest we assign fifty Phoenix-bots to the island, seventy of them to hunt for intruders and the rest the maintain order in the city."
Phoenix stood. "Fine! I'm going to blast something… anything."
Phoenix flew out of the room.
The Advisor spoke thoughtfully to himself, "Foolish daughter, Foolish Father."
-------------------------------------
Richard raced the R-Cycle up the street. Flying a distances behind him were four Phoenix-bots. Red energy blasts emanated from their eyes, and they were aimed at the speeding Richard. Richard dodge the R-Cycle left and right as the blasts rain down around him.
He turned left onto another street, with a parking garage next to it. Richard raced into garage. The four Phoenix-bots flew into the structure. They slowed and split up to look for their target. The parking garage was filled with cars.
One Phoenix-bot spotted the parked R-Cycle with no Richard on it. Richard leaped out from between two other cars and struck the robot with his staff. The Phoenix-bot was still standing; with raw metal and circuits showing on it right shoulder.
Richard remarked, "You guys are not too bright."
The Phoenix-bot fired it eye beams toward Richard and he dodged it. The beams struck a car's gas tank. It blew up. Richard was blow to one side, but did a backwards flip and landed on top of another vehicle. He leaped.
The Phoenix-bot was standing back up when Richard's staff struck again. It's head bounce along the floor.
Richard said, "One down; three to go."
-------------------------------------------
As Jinxie was drove the T-Car, she said, "Get ready, Star."
Three Phoenix-bots followed the vehicle.
As the car turned a corner and temporary went out of sight of the pursuers, Jinxie yelled, "NOW!"
Kori flew out the car's right rear opened window and into an alleyway. She hid behind some trashcans as the three Phoenix-bot flew pass the mouth of the alleyway. Kori was not noticed.
Kori slowly stood up and then flew further down the alleyway. The alley opened up to a larger open area that contained loading docks for trucks. The area was deserted.
Kori spotted a manhole cover. She reached down and easily plied it open with her fingers.
Down the manhole she went and she landed in the sewer tunnel. She walked down the tunnel for twenty feet until she came to a stop.
She hit the wall three times and yelled, "Gizmo! Hurry!"
In the wall, a concealed door opened. Kori went through it. Into a hallway she went.
Mikron, this world's Gizmo, was standing there. "You're alive… where's Jinx?"
"She is with Terra. They will be picking us up soon. We are moving."
Mikron didn't looked to convinced. "We are moving where, dim brain?"
"To the place of our new allies. And please don't call me 'dim brain' when we get there. Starfire might react negatively to such a comment. She doesn't know you as well as I do."
Mikron became angry with confusion, "What? Have you been snortting some nose snotting drug, Star-Brain?"
Kori pulled out her communicator and said into it, "Tell Gizmo to come and bring Cyborg with us."
She handed it to Mikron.
Mikron looked at it and said, "Cool. An old style Teen Titan Comminucator."
Tara voice yelled out it, "Gizmo, Do It! And Hurry Or I WILL Flatten You!"
Mikron looked afraid and said, "Terra?"
Tara voice said, "Jinxie, you tell him."
Jinxie voice said, "Hurry Gizmo, we got to hurry"
Mikron said, "Alright, alright."
Kori took the communicator and put it away. She turned and ran down the hallway. Gizmo followed, mumbling and cursing all the way.
They enter a room filled with electronic equipment. Victor, this world's Cyborg, laid upon a table. A few tubes and wires connected him to equipment. He is missing an arm and part of a leg. He gave no indication that he was alive.
Kori asked, "How long can he survive without the wires?"
Mikron said, "The few batteries the tincan has will last an hour, but he been dead for months now."
Kori loudly said, "Not True! Not True!" "
Then she asked calmly, "Can we jettison his legs? We need to put in the back seat of a car."
"Not a problem, Dullfire."
Mikron expertly removed the legs.
Kori said to Mikron, "We will go, now!"
Kori said into the communicator, "We are heading to the surface."
Tara voice responded, "We hear you. We'll watch your position on the locater."
Kori handed the communicator to Mikron and said, "Watch Terra's location on this and tell me when she is near."
"Ok."
Kori wrapped one arm around Victor and grabbed Mikron with the other.
Mikron complained, "Hey! What are you doing, Snot-for-Brains?"
Kori said, "We move faster this way."
Kori then flew fast down the hall and stopped breifly for Mikron to reach out and to activate the opening of the concealed door. They flew out into the sewers and up the man hole. They waited at the mouth of the alley.
Mikron, who was examining the communicator, said, "Terra is coming in from the right and will be here in six seconds."
Kori wait a second then flew out of the alleyway, turning left. She accelerated, and the T-Car approached then from behind. Four Phoenix-bots were following the car. A disc of rock flew next to the car with bits and pieces of it broke off and fired up toward the Phoenix-bots.
Kori turned a corner and the T-Car followed. Before the Phoenix-bots could turn to corner, the T-Car caught up to Kori. As Kori flew next to the car, she first shoved Mikron into the backseat through the window using only one hand.
Tara flattened the flying disc of rock then positioned itself behind Kori as a shield. Kori proceeded to push Victor into the backseat, and then she followed him in.
Tara yelled, "Got them all!"
The driver, Jinxie, responded, "Another successful plan. Call Robin and tell him it's time to go home."
The T-Car came around another corner. Floating in the air just down the road where Karen, this world's Bumblebee, and six Phoenix-bots. Jinxie immediately turned the car into a side street as bolts of energy started to rain down.
As Jinxie flipped a switch on the car's dashboard marked 'smokescreen', she said, "Tell Robin we are going to be slightly delayed."
---------------------------------------------
Mad Mod leaded over the monitor on the control panel next to his throne.
King Monty muttered, "The Teen Titans came back and started a fight without notifying me; their one and only King Monty. These yanks have no proper respect for my throne. Well, time to show these children who is in charge here. Time to send the redcoats in."
--------------------------------------------
Richard was hiding between two parked cars. He put his communicator away. Smoke poured out from burning cars and the fire was getting worse.
Three Phoenix-bots floated around the garage, searching.
While holding his staff in his left hand, Richard pulled three discs from his utility belt. He popped his head over the top the nearby vehicle and threw the three discs. He ducked and rolled to another location as three explosions occurred.
Two sets of eye beam attacks blew up the car he was formerly behind.
Richard was thrown for another ten feet. He jumped on top of another car.
He saw before him the wreckage of one Phoenix-bot, one that that damaged and one without a single scratch.
Richard muttered, "I should have got all three."
Richard somersaulted dodging the energy blast of the unharmed robot, but was nailed by damaged one. He groaned in pain as he was thrown backwards. He fell between parked cars, hidden from view. He crawled quickly.
A minor blast hit the car he was next to, setting its interior on fire.
He jumped out from the parked cars, and leap towards the damaged Phoenix-bot. Richard swung his staff. The robot had only one operating arm, and it reached up grabbing the staff. It's eyes started to glow.
Robin flipped over the top of it, grabbed it from behind and moved in between him and the undamaged Phoenix-bot. The undamaged one fired it eyes blasts, hitting the other robot. The one that Richard was holding sizzled and sparked as it collapsed.
Richard then threw two discs at the last Phoenix-bot. The discs exploded, sending parts of the Phoenix-bot all over the place.
Richard sighed and rubbed his scorched right side.
A single person's clapping sounded out over the roaring of the fires. Standing next to the R-Cycle was Phoenix with six phoenix-bots.
Richard said, "Hello, Phoenix."
Phoenix smiled evilly. "Hello, Robin. Are you still hanging out with that whining bitch Starfire?"
Richard slowly reached towards his belt. "Yeah, she's someone I can depend on. Still having deep thoughtful talks with The Beast?"
Phoenix warned, "Keep moving your hand towards that belt and you end up missing all you fingers."
She continued, "Yes, The Beast. I've never been able to get him to talk since his change. He's become a mute. Now tell me, who gave you this cute bike here? I'll kill him."
Richard glared at Phoenix. "I don't turn on my friends."
Phoenix waved her hand, and suddenly Richard was hoisted into the air, his arms pinned to his sides.
Phoenix mused, "Now time for a little fun."
Richard growled out, "Phoenix, you can go to hell."
Phoenix smiled, "Gone there, came back. Now, how can I amuse myself with you? I can't whip you like I did Terra. How is her back? Still nicely scarred?"
Richard snarled, "Don't talk about Terra, Raven."
Phoenix stopped for a bit and looked confused. "Raven… Raven… I haven't heard that name for a while… But Raven is gone. Phoenix is here!"
Flames started to crawl across Richard's body. He hissed in pain.
Phoenix said, "Now the fun begins."
--------------------------------------
Outside the parking garage, ten twelve-foot tall redcoat robots aim their rifles into the garage.
--------------------------------------
The flames on Richard's body increased in intensity. Richard growled, trying to hold back the scream of pain.
The concrete wall near Phoenix exploded. Flying debris flew struck Phoenix and her six robots. The Phoenix-bots had received a few dents and some slight damage. Phoenix was unaffected by the hits.
Phoenix looked at the wall's new hole. The robotic face of a redcoat robot can be seen.
Phoenix shouted, "Redcoats! Destroy them my minions."
As the Phoenix-bots charge toward the hole, Phoenix turned back to her captive. But Richard was gone.
Phoenix screamed out in fury. Around her, an expanding sphere of fire appeared. As it touched the surrounding vehicles, they blew up. A mighty explosion rocked the parking garage and part of it collapsed.
From the collapsed section, Phoenix's voice could be weakly heard. "Ouch… I got to stop doing that."
Then flames started lick out from under the rubble. The rubble started to shift and the flames intensified as Phoenix renewed angry fanned the flames.
------------------------------------
The T-Car tires screamed as Jinxie accelerated the T-Car around the corner. Karen and now twelve Phoenix-bots flying after it.
Tara was trying to keep the flying rock shield between the car and the pursuers. Kori, who was leaning out car's window, fired her energy bolt when possible. From Mikron's backpack, a long sinuous cable, that ended with a lens, aimed and fired, too.
Jinxie called out, "Where is Robin, Gizmo?"
Gizmo, who still held Kori's communicator, said, "The bird brain snot head finally started to move; moving fast, too. Where did you get the cool car from?"
Jinxie said, "Tell you later."
The car shook from a hit on the car's roof. The roof bent downwards.
Mikron said sourly, "You snot eating bird brains brought me out of a safe place into this? What were you thinking?"
Tara glared angrily at Mikron. "You said anything, bug?"
Fearfully, he sank back into his seat.
Tara turned away. "I thought not."
Mikron examined the communicator again and said, "Rob-o-brain is at the bay; circling."
Jinxie said, "Time for the second smoke screen. And will you two stop fighting?"
Mikron needled, "She started it."
Tara glared at Mikron, "SHUT UP!"
Kori quietly said, "Friends, there are people still shooting at us."
----------------------------------------------------------
From the debris that covered Phoenix, flames shot upwards. High above the city, the flames formed into a giant flaming bird. The bird, Phoenix, cried an angrily shriek into the air. Then it scanned the city.
Going down one of the streets near the bay, something was leaving a long trail of smoke.
Phoenix flapped her wings and flew toward the mobile source of the smoke.
---------------------------------------------------------
The T-Car drove out into the bay with the smoke screen pouring out of it tail end.
Richard was flying. His cape had transformed into large flat wing on his back with a small rocket engine. He flew down to T-Car, diving to gain speed.
Inside the car, Tara yelled, "We got someone diving down on us."
Starfire took aim at the incoming yellow, red, green and black shape.
Mikron remarked, "It probably Bird Boy. Blast him if you wish."
Kori held her back her attack as Richard flew next to the car and grabbed the doorway next to Tara's spot. He jettisoned the rocket pack and the wing collapsed into a cape. He squeezed into Tara's singlewide seat.
Tara teased, "Robin, I didn't know you cared."
Kori wrapped her arms around Richard from behind and said, "Robin!"
Richard hissed in pain. A faint burnt smell floated in the air.
Tara said, "Robin has some burns."
Ignoring the comments, Richard reached into his utility belt pulled out a small black sphere.
He said, "I'm calling for the gate."
Mikron demanded, "What is going on here?"
Jinxie said, "I'll tell you later."
Mikron said, "That's what you said last time."
Richard concentrated on the black sphere and the said, "I hope that does it."
As they approached the island a small cloud of dots circle above it. Each dot was a Phoenix-bot. Behind the T-Car; following at a distance there were more Phoenix-bots and Karen. Behind them was Phoenix.
Near the ruins of the Titan's Tower, a black rip in the air appeared. It rippled and the rip expanded.
Mikron yelled, "What in the snot boogers is that?"
Richard said, "The doorway to our new home."
Jinxie activated the cannon and missile launcher switches on the dashboard.
She said, "Robin, try to figure out the missile controls, I got the cannon. Don't hit too close to the gate."
The rip in space expanded further then reshaped itself into a circular opening. The gate was formed.
The flying Phoenix-bots swarmed around the gate and fired at it. Three missiles exploded amongst the Phoenix-bots, the fourth one missed and went through the gate.
"Damn!" was all Richard could say.
The Proton Cannon fired at the Phoenix-bot nearest to the gate. The car exited the bay and barreled toward the gate.
Then they noticed something unexpected was happening. The Phoenix-bots were in conflict with individuals dressed in black full body suits wearing metallic gray armor over parts of their bodies and the black face coverings had an orange circle painted between the eyes.
Tara exclaimed, "Great, we got reinforcements!"
One of those so-called reinforcements started to fire at the car.
The front end took a hit and the vehicle driving got rough, the engine irregular.
Kori started to fire her energy bolts from the window seat.
Tara's eyes glowed and the earth near the gate exploded, forcing most of the combatants out of the car's path.
The vehicle shuddered and Kori called out, "The back of car has the fire coming from it."
An instant before they entered the gate, a two-foot in diameter disc-like projectile came flying out of the gate. It impacted and crushed the front right wheel. The car started to swerve to the right, and then flipped.
The burning car tumbled, end over end, into the gate.
