Chapter 7

Starjadenight- Yes, Blackout has big plans and they come into play in this chapter. I also have the Rob/Rae I promised.

The Most Humble and Obidient Author- Somthing is up, as you will see in this chapter, but Starfire and Slade merely wern't mentioned in the fight seen.

Rocky- White Wolf of Curses- Not that i think you reviews suck or you opinion doesn't matter but nothing much to respond to so I'll just say THANKS FOR THE REVIEW.


Robin sat in the middle of the Carpizi Brothers restraunt. "Raven was supposed to be here half an hour ago." he said to the now empty restraunt. Suddenly he felt hands push down on his shoulders forcing him into his seat. Robin scowled as Blackout sat down in the chair set for Raven, spagetti with sausage sat before him.

"Good evening Robin" said Blackout said tucking a naptkin into his collar and picking up a fork.

"What do you want Blackout?" yelled Robin as B.O stabbed a sausage but didn't answer. "I said...!"

The villan looked up at him "I know" he said calmly.

"Quit eating that it's for..." said Robin watching Blackout eat some pasta.

"...Raven" the ninja finished coldly. "You've dissappointed me Robin" he then said angrly brandishing a sausage flinging litle bits of sause at him.

"What are you talking about?"said Robin, confused

"He means that you've failed us and must pay the price."said Slade calmly, walking out of the shadows

"What do you mean US? Slade help me!"

Slade just chuckled pulling out a pistol. There was a gun shot and then everything went black.


Robin awoke with a start sending his stuffed bear flying across the room.

Cyborg opened the door, a grave look on his face. "We've got a problem" he said "Raven's missing"

Robin jumped out of bed and rushed into his study grabbing a map of jump city and the microchip Blackout had given him. Robin then ran into the living room, cape billowing, and slammed the two objects down on the table. He gazed at them for a moment before throwing them back down.

Beast Boy walked in sleepily and picked up the chip. He gazed at it for a minute then took out a red marker and drew 16 dots.

"Friend Beast Boy, how did you..." said Starfire.

"If you break up the serial number it becomes several cordinates." he replied

"He's right but there's like 16 points now do we just search them all?' asked Cyborg

"O.K"said the shapeshifter connecting 4 of the plots diagonally to make an X. He repeated this on all 4 plot groups, drawing a dot were each pair of line intersected. "Then just connect those 4 dots and TADA!" he said drawing a green dot where those lines intersected. He pointed to the dot "That's where Raven is."

The others just starred.


Everyone ran into the garage and hopped into the T-car. Cyborg jumpped into the driver's seat and turnned the key. The engine struggled to life for a few moments and the backfired. Cyborg clenched his fists, chrushing the steering wheel 'That twisted dude is gonna' pay!"

After five minutes Robin, Beast Boy, Cyborg and Starfire were all speeding through the streets on the R-cycle. They continued untill they reached the Ti industries building. Everyone stormed inside only to stop suddenly in surprise as a man with Blackout's insagnia on his chest.

"Blackout is expecting you" he said gesturing to the elevator "this way"

The Titans scepticly followed. The attendant inserted and ID card and pushed a button. The lift came to a stop on level 36. Robin stepped out into the 3 story tall room. The man then took a 2-way radio and said into it "they're here" he then looked at the titans "Blackout will be with you shortly" he said as the doors closed.

Up on the second floor they could all hear foot steps, every 2 steps there was a metallic thunk. a moment later Blackout apperaed on the balcony a morningstar in hand (A/N: anyone who does not know what a morningstar is go to:http/www.atari .com/thematrixpathofneo and click on weapons, a circle of guns will appear around neo, cliack on the word melee by neo's left arm, a circle of melee weapons will appear, click on any one and all the weapons from the circle will apear on neo's left, the moringstar is second from the top.).

"Hello, everyone" said the ninja "I'd like you to meet my new house guest, say hello Raven." Raven appeared in a large bubble. "Anti-energy bubble"

"What's your plan Blackout? What do you want with Raven!" yelled Robin

Blackout laughed "Very well Robin, my plan is simple. I'm going to set off this" he said pulling out a small bomb

"But it is so tiny, it could not harm a flogrsnetle!" exclaimed Starfire

The ninja laughed again 'This is a flux bomb."

"Oh no" said Robin and Cyborg at the same time. Starfire gasped.

"Why don't I ever know what these things are!" yelled Beast Boy

"A flux bomb halts time, simply put." said Blackout cooly

"Oh"

"Now" he said angrily "When I went back to the bank after that bafoon 'Dr. Light' tried to rob it, my final component the tempral scapel, desined to rip the space tim blah, blah, blah and make my device work, I only found a fake!" He pulled out a gun and took aim at Raven. "Now , tell me where the real scapel is or you freind dies, you have untill the count of ten!"

"We don't have it! Someone else must have stolen it!" pleaded Robin

"ONE!"

"Please no"

"TWO!"

"Take me instead not Raven please."

"THREE!"

"NOO, not Raven" screamed Robin, tears streaming down his face.

"FOUR!"

"Don't do this man" pleaded Cyborg

"FIVE!"

"Dude, we can work this out" tried Beast Boy

"SIX!"

"No not Raven...I love her"

"SEVEN!"

"Please, do not harm our freind! perhaps we can get this object for you"

"EIGHT!"

"Noooo!" cried Robin

"NINE!"

"No, Raven! please Blackout don't do this I don't have it!'

"TEN!"
