Alternate Universe
-----------------------
Mad Mod, studied the video monitor to the left of his throne. He laughed hoarsely.
On the screen, the battle between Mad Mod forces and those of Killer Moth was being shown. His forces were losing some of the tanks and soldiers to the metal-eating moths but the new flamethrowers were overpowering, and cooking, the moths in much larger numbers. Mad Mod's forces were quickly winning the fight. The tanks continued to fire upon city hall and the surrounding areas.
Also fighting Mad Mod's soldiers was an old man, called the Advisor, and Fang. The Advisor swung a fire covered staff and destroy a Redcoat robot with two to three strike each. Fang was having a much more difficult time with just two of the robots. The blows he struck just bounced off of the robots.
Then a flamethrower covered the area with flame. The Advisor jumped out of the way while Fang fell badly burnt. The robotic soldiers were unaffected.
The Advisor ignored the fallen teen while Killer Moth shouted, "Fang!" Then more quietly he mumbled, "Now where else can I find a boy who can stand to be with my daughter?"
Fang twitched slightly.
Killer Moth flew down and picked Fang up. "Don't worry. For my daughter's sake… and my sanity, I will get you to a doctor."
Suddenly a teenager named Mammoth stepped out of a shattered seventh story window. He did not fall but floated. As the shells exploded on the building's walls, he ignored them as he closed his two red eyes. He concentrated and then opened four bright yellow eyes. He looked with boredom at the scene before him.
Mammoth held his open hand before him and in it formed a ball of silvery flame. He smiled slightly as the ball leaped from his hand flew toward some of the tanks. It hit the ground in the middle of four tanks. The slivery ball didn't explode or make any noises. It simply grew until it covered the tanks and faded away. The tanks were gone. Also missing was part of a building and the pavement touched by the ball.
Mad Mod yelled at his console, "Target that guy! Shoot Him! Shoot Him!"
The yellow eyed teenager looked straight into monitor, like he could see Mad Mod on the other side of the screen. Another slivery ball flew straight at the monitor and Mad Mod ducked as the monitor screen suddenly went blank.
Mad Mod said weakly, "Well… This can't be good."
-----------------------------
The hole in Cyborg's leg sealed over as he tested it. It supported his weight.
Speedy called out, "Here they come."
Coming down the street came confidently walking Johnny Rancid. He was followed by Cinderblock. Both of their eyes glowed red. Flying spread out above them were ten Phoenix-bots. Then behind them, on the ground walked Control Freak with normal eyes.
Johnny called back to Control Freak, "The Advisor never really trusted you with any serious powers, chunk-boy."
Control Freak stewed.
Still a distance away, Robin said to his team, Kori, Cyborg and Speedy, "We have go into one of the buildings to give us a chance against all of them."
Kori disagreed, "No, there are frequently normal people in those buildings. Follow me and I'll find a good place to do the battle."
Robin nodded.
Kori called out, "Friends, follow me."
She turned and started to run, followed by the rest of the crew.
------
Johnny Rancid exclaimed, "Those cowards are afraid of me: Johnny Rancid! Run you cowards!"
The Phoenix-bots started to fly towards the fleeing heroes, but Johnny yelled, "Hey, girls. Come back here. You are not going to wipe them out before I get there. In fact, I want you girls to fly me there. Fly me there in style!"
They flew back and hovered next to him. Two to them reached down, grabbed his arms and pulled him up. If the robots could look annoyed, they would.
The Phoenix-bots, with Johnny flew forward with Cinderblock and Control Freak trailing them.
----
Standing on a rooftop not too far away, Roy watched with a smile on his face. He chuckled, "This should be interesting. Let's see how that other 'Speedy' handles a little fight."
He turned and ran across the roof. He leaped when he reached the edge. Sixty feet away, he landed on another roof. He continued to run, following the Rancid's group.
----
Kori lead the group to a battered construction site. The skeletal steel beam framework for a four story tall building stood before them. Some earlier attempts at putting up walls were earlier blown away.
Cyborg called out, "Hey, what happened here?"
Kori answered as she approached the structure, "Before I met you, my new friends, Robin and us fought against the Phoenix's robots here. It may provide some cover against attacks from the air."
They enter into the construction area and took up positions behind four different vertical beams.
Robin ordered, "Attacks the robots first, then concentrate on Johnny Rancid. Ok?"
As Kori powered up and Cyborg's arm converted into a sonic cannon, Speedy notched two arrows in his bow and fired. It was a long-range shot and the Phoenix-bots could normally dodge the arrows, the two holding up Rancid couldn't dodge without dropping him. The arrows hit their targets and, upon exploding, destroyed the two Rancid carrying Phoenix-bots. It started him on a thirty-foot drop to the ground below.
He yelled, "Catch me!"
The closest Phoenix-bot dived toward him. As she came closer, Johnny reached his hand out to her. Her fingers touched his just as he crashed into the ground. The Phoenix-bot, unable to instantly stop, crashed into him from above. Johnny roared with anger as he tore the robot apart, sending its pieces in several directions.
Cyborg grinned. "Not bad, Speedy. You took out three robots with two arrows."
Speedy gave a thumb up.
Johnny charged with a remaining Phoenix-bots following. Cinderblock and Control Freak still haven't arrived yet.
Robin started to climb the beam he was behind up to the second floor. He took out three darts in each hand and waited.
Cyborg and Kori fired at the incoming group, aiming at the Phoenix-bots. Two of the robots landed on the ground and they returned fire. Most of the Phoenix-bots' eye beam attacks only hit the vertical beams and the ground, but one blast smashed into Kori's shoulder, causing her to spin away from behind her protective beam and into the open. Cyborg, seeing this, jumped into the open and started firing.
Speedy ran out from under the steel structure towards a big cab truck, firing arrows as he ran. Kori, in pain rolled to behind another steel beam as more blasts came from the robots. She was hit once again, but Cyborg and Speedy's attacks dropped two more.
-------
Mikron flew low over the rooftops. "Where are the teenie tots?" He muttered to himself.
A series of explosions catch his attention and he flew toward that direction. He came upon the battle with Johnny Rancid and three Phoenix-bots against somebody in steel frame of a building.
"Found them," He chuckled.
Mikron pointed a finger at the hindmost Phoenix-bots and said, "Let the games begin!"
His hand glowed.
-------
Robin shouted down, "Kori! Are you all right?"
Kori groaned, "I have been hurt worst than this. Please continue to do the fighting."
Johnny Rancid came within sixty feet of the building when Robin threw the first set of three darts at Johnny Rancid. One missed, but the other two impacted upon Johnny's chest and blew up. Johnny grunted, but he was surprised when he was hit from behind by one of the Phoenix-bot's eye beams.
Johnny yelled, "What the Hell?"
Robin threw the second set of three darts. All of them hit, exploded, and threw him off of his feet. The red glow in Rancid's eyes flared as he picked himself up. Another blast from the Phoenix-bot from behind hit him again with no effect. The other two Phoenix-bots fell to the assault of Cyborg and Speedy.
Cinderblock and Control Freak arrived on the scene as Johnny marched into the steel structure. As they advanced, they saw the flying Phoenix-bot blasting Johnny from behind.
Control Freak thoughtfully said, "That's not right…"
He pulled out his remote control and clicked it at her. "Attack the Titans," He said.
Cyborg basted again and again at Johnny, receiving only grunts as a reward. Arrows and darts exploded upon him with similar results. Kori's blasted in a continuous stream seem to get Johnny the most angry. The remaining Phoenix-bot changed it targeting from Johnny to Cyborg. It fire, hitting the metal titan and sending him into the grasp of Johnny. He grabbed each of Cyborg's arms in a hand and laughed, "Hey, look bird-boy. Lets see what happens when I pulled real hard on both arms…"
"Not going to happen," exclaimed Robin as he jump down and delivered a kick to Johnny's jaw. Speedy fired an arrow and destroyed the last Phoenix-bot, while Kori pounded Johnny from the side. Johnny went flying the room and Cyborg slipped out of his grasp.
As Johnny stood up, three of the titans were breathing hard and Cyborg whispered, "I'm getting low on power."
Johnny laughed, "Now let's really get this fight going."
-----
Mikron grumbled, "Stupid snot-eating booger heads," as he watched the Phoenix-bot, the one he was controlling, get demolished.
As Cinderblock and Control Freak, who were advancing toward the fight, came up next to the big cab truck, Mikron pointed his finger at the truck and smiled. His hand glowed.
--------
Roy was watching the fight and having a good time. He saw Cinderblock and Control Freak advancing and grinned. He notched an arrow into his bow.
-------
Control Freak said to Cinderblock, "Be careful, these are titans we are dealing with. So expect anything."
Suddenly the truck next to them twisted, like living being, and brought its front end off of the ground and down into the side of Cinderblock.
Control Freak weakly said, "Expect anything, but that." Then he got mad. "Hey, that is my power you are playing with, thief!"
Mikron voice chuckled from above, "Yeah, the best powers are those you can steal, fart-brain."
As Cinderblock ripped apart the truck, Control Freak clicked his remote at Mikron. Nothing happened. He clicked again with the same results. "What is going on?"
Mikron snickered, "I've protected all my gadgets from your powers. I'm the best genius here. Get use to it."
Mikron dodged as Cinderblock threw a part of the truck at him.
An arrow Speedy fired impacted on Cinderblock's chest and exploded. Cinderblock was sent flying for fifty yards before he plowed into a parked car.
----
Above the city, two earthen platforms came flying. On the first one were Tara, Richard and Jinxie. The second one had Terra, Victor and Kitten. Bumblebee and Karen flew next to them.
Richard, who was studying a Titan's communicator, said, "They should be just two more blocks from here."
He pressed a button twice on the communicator to signal Robin.
Kitten complained, "Where is my father! And all of this wind is messing up my hair!"
-----
Killer Moth, while carrying the gravely injured Fang, spotted the group of flying teenagers. He stared a bit, before he saw someone who could be his daughter in the group. He flew after them.
-----
Johnny reached down and picked up a small chuck of concrete. "Looks like the Teen Titans are the Team Losers, Birdie. I'm hardly sweating and you guys are sweating like mad."
Robin's communicator beeped twice.
Robin frowned and then commanded, "Titans, go outside!"
They started to retreat, but Johnny threw the concrete rock he had at Speedy. Speedy turned tried to deflect it with the staff of his bow, but came too fast, too hard. The bow snapped in two and Speedy was hit squarely in the stomach. He gave a weak grin to Robin before he fell over.
Johnny walked toward the downed titan and then Kori slammed into Johnny from the side. Johnny was sent flying into the streets.
Robin yelled, "Cyborg, take care of Speedy. Kori, come with me."
----
After an unsuccessful brief scan the area for the attacker of Cinderblock, Mikron and Control Freak glared at each other.
Control Freak pointed his remote at a hanging metal sign and clicked at it. The sign wrestled itself from it anchors and started to flap, like a butterfly, towards Mikron. The edges of the sign were razor sharp. Mikron looked impressed. "Hey, that's pretty cool!"
Control Freak puff up and replied, "Yes it is. It took me two days to master that one."
Mikron pointed at the advancing butterfly of death and it crumpled into a ball. It fell. "It only took me five seconds to figure out its weakness."
Control Freak groaned.
Mikron pointed at a mailbox and it started to advance at Control Freak. Its mail flap became a mouth with needle sharp teeth.
Control Freak pointed his remote at it and squashed the metallic monster. He said happily, "My turn."
Mikron said sarcastically, "No, it not, fur brain." Two tentacles grew out of his backpack.
Control Freak asked, "Why is that? It's my turn! Besides we both have the same powers, so it is a tie."
Mikron smiled, "Well, barf-bag, we both have your power, but only I have my powers!"
Control Freak looked up as the tentacles both fired a bolt of electricity at his. They both hit.
A slightly fried and burnt Control Freak said, "No fair." He then fell over, unconscious.
------
Robin had out his staff and leaped at Johnny while Kori flew up to above Johnny. Johnny grabbed the flying Robin and threw him with force into a parked car. The car's side door was caved in. Robin got up on unsteady feet and then fell over.
Kori, in a power dive slammed into Johnny from above. Both of them hit the payment hard, creating a small crater. Kori started to fly back up, but Johnny swung at her. The smack of his fist hitting was heard four city blocks away. She slammed into one of the steel beams the structure they were hiding in before. She sank to the ground.
Johnny cheered, "Nobody can beat Johnny Rancid! Nobody!"
Suddenly one of the parking meters, next to Johnny, twisted and wrapped it self around Johnny's legs. Johnny reached down and pulled the twisted metal off of him. He looked around and spotted the flying Mikron. Johnny smiled as balled up the metal into a ball.
Suddenly pink cursed bolts with electrical and sonic blasts hit him from the side.
Richard and crew had arrived.
-----------
Roy watched to scene, with an arrow ready. Before him, he can see two Robins. In fact there are two of a couple of people down there. And Killer Moth and Fang had arrived, too. He waited.
--------
As Johnny prepared to throw his ball, the earth around him erupted and buried him.
Richard yelled, "Quick, see to the wounded!" He spotted Killer Moth and yelled, "Get Fang over here, too."
Kitten cried out, "Fang! He is all broken."
Then the earth covering Johnny exploded outwards.
Johnny exclaimed, "Nobody can beat Johnny Rancid… Why are there two dirt-girls?"
Both Terra and Tara looked insulted.
-------------
From what remained of city hall, a scream of pain and madness rang out. Phoenix had been hurt for part of her shred mind had vanished into Starfire along with the last of her sanity. Johnny grabbed his head and collapsed to the ground. Roy, on a rooftop, also fell over. From the city hall a red mist flowed out into the air.
Richard spotting this yelled, "Terra and Terra: make your flying earth platforms. Every one else, bring the wounded to them!"
Tara said, "Let's kill Rancid, now."
Richard yelled, "No! Hurry! It may be to late now!"
Richard pulled out a small black sphere out and concentrated on it before saying, "Raven, we are coming in and Phoenix will be following us!"
Tara paled, but covered Rancid in earth anyway.
--------
On the island, Starfire dully looked at Beastboy's badly cut feet. Without any emotion, she touched the wounds. A slight dark glow surrounded her hands.
-----
Jinx checked Kid Flash over. He groaned and opened his eyes. He smiled weakly up at her. "Hey, Jinx. How are you feeling?"
"How Am I Feeling? How Am I Feeling? You Are The One Who Is Hurt!"
"I can't seem to be able to fool you… Hey, a black thingie…"
Jinx turned her head and looked.
A black blob was floating in the air. It suddenly flattened and grew into a ring like shape. Raven had created a gate, to the home dimension.
Jinx yelled over to Starfire, "Hurry, get Beastboy through the gate!"
Starfire looked at her with blank eyes, and then started to look around. "A gate," she said with confusion in her eyes. She picked up Beastboy and flew him through the gate.
Jinx helped Kid Flash to stand up and, slowly, they went together to the other side.
-----
Above city hall the giant, ghostly form of a fiery phoenix appeared. From its beak, balls of fire spit out onto parts of the city around her. Some motions catch the attention of Phoenix: the motions of the fleeing titans. The Phoenix cried out and a red gate ring was formed. It was a gate to hell. It slowly started to move, then speeded up. The ring chased after the titans.
---------------------
Titan's Universe
---------------------
The Beast asked, "How long can you hold open the gate?"
Raven responded, "I can hold it open for maybe an hour. The opening of the gate is the hard part."
First Starfire carrying Beastboy, then Jinx and Kid Flash came through the gate. Starfire started to fly up toward where Raven was.
Raven studied the gate then said, "Oh, no."
The Beast asked, "What?"
"Phoenix sent another gate after my friends. It will catch them before they can come through here… Azarath Metrion Zinthos."
"What are you doing?"
"I'm sending my gate to them. Hopefully, I'll be in time."
The black ring gate started to move out across the bay, toward the titans in the other dimension.
The Beast asked, "What if Phoenix's gate came through to our side? Would that be bad?"
"It won't happen. It's likely the gate will cancel each other out… The energy feedback will cause some harm to Phoenix."
The Beast sighed, "Don't hurt her too badly…"
-----------------------
Alternate Universe
-----------------------
Two heavily load earthen platforms flew toward Titan's island. Behind them the red gate was catching up. Jinxie prepared to cast her cursed bolt in an attempt to mess up the gate.
Karen yelled, "Look ahead. The other gate is moving. Richard turned and looked. The black gate looked like it wouldn't arrive in time.
Richard yelled, "Terra, we need to go faster!"
Tara shouted, "I'm going as faster as I possibly can."
Terra added from the other platform, "Same here!"
Richard thinks for a second and then said, "Now is the time to determine which of you two is the faster. Which of you two can beat the other in this race!"
Richard received two "What?"
Richard asked, "Which of you two is the winner and which is the loser?"
Tara grimly said, "I won't lose to Schoolgirl."
"Eat my tail winds, Dangerous girl.
The two pushed hard, the flight speed increase some.
Kitten wailed, "We're all going to die."
Killer Moth said, "There, there, my girl… Daddy will make it all right."
As the two rings approached each other, the titans barely across into the black ring when they hit. The two rings vanished.
------
The Phoenix cried out in pain and the ghostly form faded. On the ground before city hall, the Phoenix laid unconscious.
---------------------
Titan's Universe
---------------------
As the last of the titans with guests crossed in from the gate, the gate vanished. Raven cried out in pain and fell.
