Titan's Universe

---------------------

Raven sat at the edge of the obstacle course, waiting. The sun beat down upon her causing her some discomfort. She heard the sounds of padded boots walking toward her.

The Beast was approaching her. He looked like Beastboy except for the more determined look he had on his face.

While he was twenty feet from her, Raven said flatly, "Stop."

The Beast stopped and looked around. "Are everyone else in my home dimension?"

Raven nodded and then said, "You shouldn't be here. When you're former teammates return, they'll take a dim view of you being here."

The Beast gave a short bark of a laugh. "I don't really blame them… I just want to see what happens to my Robin, Starfire, Cyborg and… the Phoenix. They were all my friends."

"…Then let us wait here together."

-----------------------

Alternate Universe

-----------------------

Six blocks east of city hall, a deserted burnt house splintered as a tank surged out of it. On tank's side, a union jack was painted on. Out of other houses and places, more tanks appeared along sixteen-foot tall 'Mad Mod' type of robots. They gathered up and turned toward city hall. Shots rang out from the tanks and explosions occurred on the city hall building and in the area around it.

As the army marched toward city hall, the sky darkened with a multitude of giant moths. Those moths dived down toward the army. From a select few of Mad Mod's robots, flames licked out from the flamethrower equipment that they carried.

The two groups collided with Moths chewing of the Mad Mod's mechanical army and receiving in return bullets and flames.

A lone street sweeper watching this shook his head. "I'm not going to clean this up."

--------------------

The Advisor looked up when the building shook several times from cannon shell hits.

He turned and left Phoenix's throne room and commands the Phoenix-bots out in the hallway, "The real attack has begun. Gather our forces."

The doors closed behind him leaving the Phoenix unconscious on the throne. A few minutes later, the doors opened again and in crept Slade. He surveyed the room. He walked up to the floor's diagram. "Interesting," he said.

The four corner posts and the throne he studied, too. The Phoenix remained asleep.

"I can use this."

Mammoth stepped into the room. "Who are you?" he demanded.

"Dear Mammoth, I'm Slade."

"Actually, you are entertainment."

Mammoth charged forward but as he reached the edge of the floor's inscribed circle he hit an invisible wall.

Slade said evenly, "It appears that the maker of this room has found a way to seal you out. You do not sound like Mammoth. Who are you?"

"I will be the destroyer of your world."

"Trigon… How nice it is to see you again."

"You will break the seal of this circle, mortal."

"Mmm, according the spells on four posts, part of you is already within this poor child of your."

"Give her to me and I will grant you powers beyond your belief!"

"Somehow, I already know that you will not keep your word permanently. Now go away and allow me to resume my studies."

"Man called Slade, I will find the Advisor and have him break the seal in this room."

Slade ignored him.

Mammoth turned and walked out.

-----------------------------

Johnny Rancid came charging down the street and away from the battle. Waiting for him were Control Freak, Cinderblock and ten Phoenix-bots.

Control Freak spoke up, "Titans beat you?"

"They destroyed both my creatures."

Control Freak taunted by saying, "Let me guess, John-boy. You, with your Phoenix enhanced powers, just watch the battle to see how well you B-Movie toys did against the titans. You then come to me, who am not trusted with any new powers, to get help. Right?"

Johnny Rancid picked Control Freak up by the front of shirt. "Listen Movie-Boy, you-"

There is an interruption of Control Freak's shirt ripping for it couldn't hold the weight. Control Freak landed butt first on the payment.

Johnny started laughing as Control Freak stood back up.

"That was my best shirt."

"It was your only shirt."

"…Maybe true, but we still have the titans to defeat. Let's go."

---------------------------

In front of a men's clothing store, Kori was ripping up a white long sleeve shirt and using it for bandages for a Beastboy's feet. He was unconscious with a paler color of green than normal. Next to them, Kid Flash was still holding his side.

Cyborg stood as his repair system worked on his leg. Speedy was lookout out for any new trouble.

Robin asked Kid Flash, "How is it going?"

"I still have two or three fights left in me."

Robin frowned and said, "I want you to take Beastboy the Titan Island and stay there. Can you do it?"

"Moving BB is no problem, but I'm coming back."

"No, I want you to stay there. You're wounded and if you die, Jinx will first kill me and then kill you all over again."

Kid Flash chuckled. "And I think she can do it, too."

"Can you do it?"

"Yeah, I can carry Beastboy and I'll stay there."

"Good."

Kori spoke up, "Beastboy is prepared to be moved. Please be gentle, Friend Kid Flash."

Kid Flash gave a cocky smile. "No problem."

With a grunt, he picked up Beastboy and started to run. Sweat came down his face as he headed back to the island.

Speedy called out "here they come."

-------------------------------

Down the hallway boldly marched Bumblebee. Behind her came three Phoenix-bots and Richard, Victor and Terra in manacles. Confused people got out of their way. The whispers of "I thought she was imprisoned", "How did she get back out" and "She got the Phoenix-bots as guards" came from the passing guards.

They traveled for a bit and then came down a hallway filled with prison cell doors with only two guards seated in front on one of them.

The guards froze in surprise and then one reached for a communicator on his belt. Bumblebee quickly pulled out her two stringer and fire two electrical blasts: one at each guard. They jerk, quivered and fell.

As the titans behind her removed their manacles, Bumblebee came up to the cell's door.

She heard someone speaking with her own voice, "That sounded like my stringers. If those turkeys are playing my stringers, their behinds are mine!"

A voice that sounded like Terra's came through the door, "Shut up! Will you just Shut Up?!?"

One of the Phoenix-bots stood behind Bumblebee as she opened up the door.

--------------------

Within the cell, Karen snapped back at Tara, "Shut up? Don't you tell me to shut up. You shut your mouth, girl! I'm trying to listen to what happening outside the door!"

Tara yelled back, "Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!"

Jinxie pleaded, "You both been at it all night. Will you both please give it a rest?"

The cell's door clicked, as it is unlocked. It started to open.

Jinxie called out to the door, "Please shoot me now. I can't stand another night with these two."

While Karen and Tara continued to glare at each other, the door opened. It revealed Bumblebee and a Phoenix-bot standing there. Jinxie's mouth just hung open in shock.

Bumblebee announced, "Hey ladies, the rescue… team… Why are you two in Robin's clothes? And Jinx, why is your hair green?"

That caught the attention of Tara and Karen.

Karen said in shock, "I've been cloned."

Tara stared and muttered, "You can forget that memory erasure, Bumbling Bee. You are going to be terminated by your boss."

Bumblebee spoke up, "You got it all wrong. I'm-"

Richard stepped up from behind and interrupted, "Bumblebee here is an ally from the other dimension. Don't harm her. What's the situation?"

Jinxie spoke up, "Other than being driven half mad by these two, the collars around our necks electrocute all of us when any of us uses our powers."

The building shook and the sounds of explosion can be heard.

Richard walked up to Jinxie and started to examine her collar.

Tara said, "Remove my collar, first."

Richard asked, "Why?"

"If anything went wrong, I would rather it happened to me, not to Jinxie-pooh."

Richard and Jinxie smiled. He said, "You, as always, are the best of ally, Terra. Now be quite as I work on Jinxie."

Terra and Victor walked into the cell. Terra looked at Karen's collar as Karen glared back. Tara stared at Terra, too. Terra's eyes widened with surprise as she studied the collar.

Richard examined the collar. It was a simple large brass colored neck collar. On the collar was a small rectangular plate with three keyholes in it. Richard stared at the collar as he reached down to his utility belt and pulled out a lock pick. As he positioned the lock pick over the center keyholes, Terra said firmly, "Don't touch that. It will blow all of their heads off."

Richard looked puzzled. "How do you know that?"

Terra reached over to Karen's collar and said, "Watch."

Terra with one hand squeezed the collar to the right of the keyhole plate and with the other hand she rotated the plate counter-clockwise one quarter of a turn. She then pressed then left side of the collar.

She explained as she worked, "I was Slade's apprentice. He trained me in several of his restraint devices. This is one of them. Anyone using a keyhole will cause all the collars to detonate. There must be a version of Slade in this universe."

Richard said, "I see."

As Terra continued a series of actions of rotating the plate and pressing parts of the collar, she said to Karen, "I heard a little of your story. When I release you, you will stay next to me and I'll protect you. Ok?"

Karen nodded slowly.

Victor spoke up, "Hey, the Phoenix-bot just left."

Bumblebee remarked, "Maybe some one higher up than me called them."

The collar came off of Karen's neck. Karen instantly shrunk out her restraints. Bumblebee pull out her strings and Richard had out his staff.

Terra demanded, "Hey, I said 'Stay next to me'! There is nothing left for you in this world. Your own boss has imprisoned you. Come with me back to my world. Now grow big and Stay Next To Me!"

Karen returned to her normal size next to Terra. She was crouched and ready for a fight.

Richard asked angrily, "Terra, what are you doing?"

"Everyone come back with us alive."

"Not Bumblebee!"

Bumblebee looked with concern at Richard.

Victor laid a hand on Richard's shoulder. "Hey man. We are not cold blooded killers."

Tara spoke up, "Cyborg. That is how our group operates. We are in a war!"

Victor said, "I'm not the Cyborg you met before. You have to make choices in your life to determine what kind of person you are. Are you a cold blooded killer or are you a hero?"

Tara couldn't reply.

Richard grumbled at Karen, "Leave, Bumblebee. Get out of here."

Terra spoke up as she walked over to Jinxie, "No, she is coming with us. She believed she was on the good guys side. She deserves another chance."

Terra started to work on Jinxie's collar. Jinxie looked nervous.

Terra smiled slightly, "Don't worry. I'll get the collar off."

Then she said loudly, "Of everyone in this room, only I had intentionally work for a villain, intentionally did bad things. Yet the people I betrayed gave me another chance."

The collar came off of Jinxie's neck. Terra walked over to Tara and continued, "So here I am trying to be a hero like they are. Trying to be a friend like they are. I'm asking you to give the same chance to Bumblebee."

Tara muttered at Terra, "School Girl, I don't want to be saved by you. I hate you."

Terra replied as she worked on the collar, "Then, Dangerous Girl, who is going to save your teammates if I don't save you. I hate you too, but being hero, we sometimes have to do things we don't like. Besides, I have my powers back, so leave Bumblebee alone. Give her a chance to become the heroine she thought she was."

Richard and Victor just finished releasing Jinxie from the manacles as Tara's collar came off. Tara's eyes glowed yellow briefly and her manacles fell out of the brick wall. She removed them.

Bumblebee said quietly to Karen, "You can also stick close to me, girl."

Richard said, "We got one more person to pick up… Kitten."

Both Jinxie and Tara groaned when they heard the name.

Victor asked, "A major villainess?"

Jinxie replied, "A major pain in the behind."

A voice came from the cell across the hall. "I heard that. I'll tell Fang!"

Richard asked, "Any volunteers?"

Terra said, "Maybe I could."

Tara said with a smile, "Yeah, School Girl. She can stay with you, too."

Terra huffed, "Sure, Dangerous Girl. No problem."

Jinxie just shook her head.

Terra walked to Kitten's cell door, looking uncertain. Tara had a large smile while Richard looked like he had a headache.

Terra unlocked and opened the door. Standing behind it was Kitten. Kitten's cell consisted of a nice twin sized bed, a throw rug, a table, chair and a television. A small refrigerator sat against the far wall with a microwave oven sitting on top of it.

Kitten screeched, "You finally came to get me out of this hell hole. Why are you here instead of Robin, Dirt Girl?"

In shocked Terra asked, "What?"

Tara snickered behind her.

Kitten then got really upset. "Hey! Who is laughing at me? Who?"

She looked around Terra and saw Tara. "Oh… I didn't know that you had an identical twin idiot."

Both Terra and Tara faces expressed anger as their voices rang out in stereo, "Hey! Take that back!"

Kitten smirked. "You two must have practiced that line in front of a mirror for a whole week."

Karen's voice drifted in from the back of the crowd, "Kitten, it's time to shut your mouth, again."

Kitten's eyes widened in fear and said, "No! You're not here. It's not fair! You're one of the bad guys. These guys should be tearing you up."

Karen worked her way up through the crowd, with Richard following.

Karen asked, "You wouldn't want a repeat of what happened the last time you gave me some back talk?"

Kitten declared, "There she is! It's Bumblebee! Knock her down; Stomp on her. She has assaulted your most valuable ally: Me."

Karen commanded, "Quiet, Girl."

Kitten shut her mouth. She looked to the other people to assist her, but nobody did. But she did see the other one: Bumblebee.

Richard said, "Let's head out. We need to get to the diversion group."

Bumblebee whispered to Karen, "Stay next to me or the happy Terra, Bee."

"…Ok."

As they walked down the hall, Richard suspiciously asked Karen, "What did you do to Kitten?"

"I've introduced the flat side of my hand to the loud mouth's behind several time."

Richard tried not to chuckle in front of his enemy. "What?"

"I spanked the hell out of her."

"Oh."

As they rounded the corner, Kitten remarked, "I like what you did with your green hair and robin costumer, Jinx. Very cool. Very you. Now you have to work on the rest of your look."

Jinxie snapped, "Shut up, Kitten."

---------------------------

Starfire and Jinx tumbled into a beak landscape. Islands and bridges of rock floated in the mindscape.

Jinx looked around. "So this is Raven's mind. Why am I not surprised?"

Starfire said, "I did not expect to see this, but this is Phoenix's mind, not Raven's. I am sure that the mind of Raven looks much nicer than this. We must return quickly to the world of outside of Phoenix's mind."

They both scan area near them.

Jinx frowned. "I can't see an exit around here."

"Then we must travel and look for one, Friend Jinx. Friends Cyborg and Beastboy were able to leave the mind of Raven, so we will be victorious in finding the exit of the mind of Phoenix."

Jinx said, "Hey Star. What if we just start blasting? We can take out Phoenix from within her own mind."

Starfire thinks for a bit before smiling. "It is a fine idea, friend. Let us do the blasting."

The pair fire off blasts of green and pink energies hitting the landscape around them. The ground shook slightly. Jinx shouted, "Keep firing."

Starfire noticed a red cloud forming in the distance sky. That cloud started to advance toward the girls.

Starfire said uncertainly, "Jinx? I think we have a big problem."

Jinx turned and looked. "What?" she asked before she studied the cloud closely.

As the cloud came closer, it can be seen that the cloud is made up of red ravens with black eyes.

Jinx and Starfire started to blast at the ravens as they backed away. Some fell but there was many more left. Starfire reached over and picked Jinx up.

"Starfire! What are you doing?"

"I am executing the plan of retreat."

She started to fly when the ravens caught up with them. The ravens flew by them, each one striking with its small claws at the pair. Both of them received cuts, but Starfire received most of them. As the ravens circled back as a group, Starfire released one of her handholds on Jinx and a green glow covered that hand.

Starfire fired the star-bolt into the ravens just before they plowed into her.

Jinx received more cuts, but Starfire received the blunt of the attack. Starfire groaned as she semi-consciously released Jinx. They both started to fall apart into the open space below them.

The bird followed, and then turned around, refusing to dive any lower into Phoenix's mind.

Jinx fell for thirty seconds before hitting a floating island. As she stood with some minor bruises, she said, "If this was real life, that fall would have killed me."

As she turned, she a huge red Phoenix bonded in chains. Those chains were covered in inscriptions. The Phoenix looked to be over a hundred feet tall and she struggled against those chains. "Hatred" it chanted.

Around the giant's feet is a still scene that contained Garfield, Victor, Rachel, a red giant and several different color copies of Rachel. The scene that was froze in time.

Jinx walked over towards the unconscious Garfield. Next to him are three Rachel replicas: The purple holding Garfield's head and was without a cloak, A pink one standing one side with a smile on her face and the third one in gray, at Garfield's side, looking worried. A purple cloak was folded and under Beastboy's head.

Jinx said softly, "This must be Beastboy before he became the Beast."

Jinx reached over and touched Garfield and her finger went slightly through the image of him. Then the scene started to move.

----------------------------

The one in gray said to the downed Garfield, "I knew you wouldn't like me. I'm really sorry about this."

Off to one side, the yellow one with glasses mumbles, "I think I should take some time to study this situation before I start to formulating a plan."

Rachel shook her head, trying to clear it. "What… What happen?"

Jinx jumped back. "I hope I survive this. Where is Starfire?"

--------------------------------

In the Past Memory

--------------------------------

Victor flew after another blast hit him. The eyes of the giant started to glow again, when the green cloak replica let out a battle cry as she charged over the hill. The one in yellow stood on the top of the hill looking bored. The giant said loudly, "Raven, you're hiding behind the lesser ones."

The giant charged toward the hill as the green one jump up to kick him is the knee. With a grunt, the giant ignore her and continued running up the hill. The green one charged him from behind.

Rachel looked up the hill, spotting the giant as it towered over the hill. Reddish beams launch out from the giant's four eyes, all missing Rachel; all impacting on Garfield.

Rachel yelled, "NO! BEAST BOY!" Then in a quieter angrier voice, she said "I Will Get You For This!"

The red giant straightened up. Victor's sonic blast hit it from behind and the green replica jumped up and kicked it in the stomach. It didn't notice either attack.

Victor yelled, "It just got stronger! Can't hurt it anymore!"

The giant said, "Yes. Yes. Let the rage consume you, Raven. Let us become stronger."

Rachel looks stunned for a second, and then said, "No, I will not give in to rage. I will not give in to you. I will succeed in controlling you."

The giant laughed, "But you have already lost, Raven."

The eyes of Garfield opened. They're red. Claws appeared on him fingers as his arms became hairy.

As Jinx watched, she shouted, "Beastboy! No!"

The last words of the replica in gray were, "See, I knew you didn't like me."

His claws swipe the gray one and parts of her floated off like scraps of cloth. Rachel fell to her knees in pain, holding her head. Two more swipes and parts of the pink and purple ones floated off, too. Garfield, who was now the Beast, howled into the air and with his eyes glowing bright red. He charged at the yellow one.

Jinx threw her pink cursed bolts at the Beast but they just went through him. She wasn't part of the illusion that was Phoenix's memory.

Victor still shooting at the red giant yelled, "What happened?"

The giant responded, "Beastboy is now mine."

Four eyes beam lanced out from the giant and impacted upon the green cloaked one. She fragmented into several thin scraps.

Victor yelled, "Eat this, monster." He fired his sonic cannon on overload at the giant with no effect.

Rachel barely said, "No… Cyborg… Azarath… Metrion… Zinthos."

A black beam was fired off from her at the same time the red giant's beams were fired. Both stuck Victor. Parts flew off Victor as he fell.

The giant remarked, "You've stopped time on his organic parts. But who will be the one to remove that spell?"

The Beast just completed slashing the last of the replicas and Rachel screamed in pain as if trying to hold on to her sanity. The red giant started to shrink as Rachel's blue cloak slowly changed color to red. The look of pain was replaced by a smirk, as she grew larger.

Rachael exclaimed, "Raven is dead. Hope and Kindness are dead. I am reborn as the Phoenix."

A burst of power came off of her. The Beast and Victor, with all of his parts were swept out of the Phoenix's mind."

Jinx said, "Wow…" as the past images faded away.

As she looked around, she saw part of the sky was red, with four slit-like yellow eyes watching her.

---------------------------

Starfire woke up groaned as she stood up. On the floating island that she was on, there was a grave. The gravestone was made up of a gray porous stone with letters written on it. Starfire read the name, "Raven".

Starfire in shocked stumbled over to the headstone and touched it. "No, Raven. This cannot be your grave in this world."

She wrapped her arms around the stone. "Raven of the other world, if I met you, I'm sure we would have been friends, very good friends. And I love all my friends."

As she closed her eyes, patches of colors leaked out of the ground around the grave.

They lightly touched Starfire and then plunged into her. Starfire gave a gasp as the colors pour out of the grave and into her. The colors were those of Phoenix's demolished replicas. As Starfire opened her eyes, the gravestone crumbled.

-------------------

Jinx shuddered as she looked at the far off eyes. Suddenly the eyes opened wide and the giant chained Phoenix screamed in pain. The inscribed chains shattered and an explosion occurred.

Jinx was thrown through the air and blown out a cave-like opening.

Jinx came to rest back in the ruins of the Titan's Tower and Starfire landed next to her.

Starfire looked dazed and Jinx said, "What a ride. Where is the mirror?"

Starfire started to look around slowly, but Jinx found the mirror first. The mirror's glass was badly cracked.

As Starfire brought out a bag and put the mirror into it, Jinx said, "I hope Raven can still use this."

Starfire stood unsteadily.

Jinx asked with concern, "Are you all right, Star?"

Starfire said slowly without any attempt to smile, "Friend Jinx, I am hurting, but I am all right."

As they climb out of the ruins, Jinx spotted two people lying on the ground. She cried out, "Kid Flash! Beastboy!"

------------------------

Slade was studying the inscriptions on Phoenix's throne when Phoenix suddenly stood up and yelled, "Hatred! Anger! Rage! Death to My Enemies!"

Fire licked off of red cloak.
