HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIYAAAAAAAAAAAAH! (Laugh) Melissa and those of you who watch Gravitation are probably laughing right now. Well, here it is; the tenth chapter. Wow, I've posted this many! And we're barley in the middle of the story. Awesome! I'm so proud of myself! Well, here it is readers, chapter number ten! (Shoots finger in the air standing in a heroic pose)
Brother Daniel: What do you think you're pointing at when you do that?
Me: . . . STOP QUOTING BABBIT!
(Laugh) Okay, enough joking around. Here it is; the tenth chapter!
Daniel: BABBIT RULES!
Me: I thought you liked Tsuyoshi? (Confuzzled)
Daniel: Hey, wouldn't it be weird if your butt fell off. I mean think about it, you wouldn't be able to pass gas or do any kind of sitting or—
Me: (Pushes Daniel in a pool that seems to pop out of nowhere)
Daniel: (Keeps rambling about how it would be like if your butt fell off while he's drowning)
Me: (Sigh) I gotta stop letting him watch Kodocha.
BAM!
Chris was down on the ground. She struggled to get up and ignored the pain that was overflowing her body. She looked up at her opponent and gave him an upper cut.
"Why are you doing this?" She yelled.
Her opponent was on the ground covering his face as though he were in pain. He then moved his hands away from his face and revealed blood dripping from his mouth.
"What the hell's your problem?" Chris asked. Her opponent ignored her and punched her hard in the face.
"You're my problem!" He screamed smashing his fist into her face. Chris hit the floor (Teehee. If you don't get it, then you're not a hard core Linkin Park fan!) hard tumbling helplessly. She groaned and tried picking herself up while her opponent walked towards her with his hands glowing a bright red.
She glared at him and shot a green plasma ray at her opponent. He was hit and fell to the ground. He opened his eyes and saw Chris in the air with her fist balled up ready to charge after him.
Her opponent gasped and quickly spun out of the way.
Chris landed on the ground and looked back at her opponent who was charging after her with his fist tightened.
He punched her, but Chris dodged his fist and kicked him in the legs. Her opponent jumped in the air and landed on Chris' shoulders as he jumped off of them and landed from behind her.
Chris turned around but got hit in the face again. She hit the floor (Laugh) once again and was filled with pain as she felt blood spilling out of her nose and mouth.
She looked up at her opponent who raised his hand at her. She then felt her body levitate off the ground.
She smacked into the wall in back of her as she saw her opponent walking towards her with an evil grin on his face.
"Why?" She whispered as she felt an invisible force choking her.
Her opponent looked at her with an evil glare as he raised his right hand which started to glow a dark red color.
"We use to be best friends Chris." He told her. "You were the greatest friend I ever had. You were so close to me it felt like you were a part of my family. But now, you never look at me the same way. I really cared about you Chris, but you pushed me away and fell for someone else." (Sniffles. How sad!)
"What are you talking about?" Chris choked.
Her opponent looked at her with his serious dark red eyes. Chris looked into his eyes. His face didn't express much, but his eyes were filled with betrayal, disappointment . . . and loneliness. A tear then ran down her opponents' cheek as he turned his head and shut his eyes lowering his hand setting Chris down.
Chris looked at her opponent and walked towards him slowly and cautiously. Her opponent looked at her with his blood red eyes filled with tears. Chris was amazed he still had a straight face on.
Her mysterious opponent then reached out his arms and wrapped them around Chris in a friendly hug. Chris was in shock, but then melted in her opponents strong arms.
"With You; the Reanimation remix. In the words of Chester Bennington: No matter how far we've come by, I can't wait to see tomorrow with you." Her opponent whispered softly in Chris' ear which made her body shiver pleasantly.
Her opponent then gently pushed her away and looked at her with a serious face as though he had absolutely no emotions in him. He turned away shutting his eyes tightly raising his glowing red hand.
"I'm sorry." He whispered shooting out a dark red plasma ray.
Chris gasped in shock shooting up from her bed all sweaty and panting very hard. She looked around in the guest room the Titans let her sleep in. It was empty, nothing more than a bed, a TV, and a dresser.
Chris sighed rubbing her forehead trying to remove the sweat from it as her breathing started to go back to normal.
"I need some air." She said getting up from her bed and heading to the roof.
"What was up with that nightmare I just had?" She asked herself bringing her legs close to her chest and resting her head on top of her knees. "I'm just really stressed right now. I'm sure that nightmare meant nothing."
Chris then had a quick flash of the guy in her dream. He had semi-long jet black hair and blood red eyes. The outfit he wore was similar to his. A dark red shirt with a silver neck guard, gloves, belt, and boots along with long dark red pants. His face looked so serious and emotionless and his body felt hard which probably meant that he worked-out.
Chris blushed. She remembered how warm he felt and how comfortable he made her feel when he wasn't beating the crap out of her. Why was he doing that anyway?
Just then, Chris felt a cold shiver run down her spine as she breathed out cold air. (You know, like Danny's ghost sense)
"What the hell?' She said in confusion. Her eyes widened as she felt danger approaching from behind her. A white ring then formed around her once again and changed her into her supernatural form. She quickly moved out of the way and saw a purple ray hit the spot where she was sitting. Chris gasped in shock.
"Wow, you're skills are better than I though they would be." Dark Angel said as her and the rest of her team looked down at Chris.
"What do you guys want?" Chris asked clenching her fist.
"Oh, it's not what we want, it's what you want." Super Nova said to her as red flames formed in her hand. Chris gasped and saw Super Nova throw the flames at her.
Chris quickly dodged the flames and saw Dark Angel, Sasuke, Super Nova, and Envy come down to the roof facing her.
"Come on powers; wake up! Make me turn invisible! Do something!" Chris yelled.
"Hit her with everything you've got." Dark Angel ordered as her team did what they were told. Dark Angel's eyes were glowing a bright purple, Sasuke's were a dark red, Super Nova took out her long sword that glowed a bright blue, and Envy's hands glowed a dark red.
"Come on! Damn it, what the hell do I have to do to unleash these stupid powers? Um—come out powers! Powers come alive! Come on!" Chris yelled, but nothing happened.
"Looks like this will be easier than we thought." Super Nova said as her and the rest of the team were about to unleash their power on Chris, when a dark voice told them not to.
"Hold it my apprentices." Said the dark voice. The four apprentices turned around and saw their master walk from out of the shadows. "We didn't come here to kill the girl. We came here to reason with her, remember?"
"Sorry Master." Dark Angel said while she and the rest of her team drained their attacks.
"You must be Slade." Chris said looking at him.
"And I assume the Titans must've already told you about me?" Slade said in his usual dark tone. Chris didn't say anything. "So, you must be the Titans little secret weapon."
"No, I'm just here so that they could help me with my so called, 'powers'. After that, I'm heading back home. No ifs, ands, or buts about it." She told him.
"My, my. Aren't we the thoughtful person?" He mocked.
"Hey, don't get sarcastic with me pal." She said angrily.
"Ooh; and a temper to match."
"What the hell are you doing here anyway? You said something about reasoning didn't you?"
"Yes I did. We're here to make an offer with you."
Chris looked at Slade with a confused and also curious look on her face. "What kind of offer?"
"You're hanging with the wrong team." Sasuke told her.
"What do you mean?"
"The Teen Titans are a group of superheroes that wan to destroy us and they chose you to help them." Dark Angel explained. "But the thing is, instead of you helping them, you should be helping us."
"Okay, first of all, I'm not helping the Titans. Second of all, why should I be helping you guys?"
"Chris, Chris, Chris." Slade said walking towards her with his hands behind his back.
"What? What? What?" Chris mocked.
"The Titans are just using you. They may act like they're cool with you not helping them defeat us, but once you have control over your powers, they're gonna make you a Titan no matter what." Super Nova told her.
"You mean, force me?"
"Wow, looks like you aren't as dumb as you look." Dark Angel smirked.
Chris glared at her with her eyes and hands glowing green but then calmed down when Sasuke started talking.
"Besides, do you really think the Titans are gonna spend every day trying to help you control your powers?"
Chris was silent.
"So, what you guys are trying to say is that I shouldn't trust the Titans?" She asked.
"Exactly." Slade told her. "you wan tot get back home as soon as possible don't you?"
"Well, yeah."
"Then you're going to have to learn how to control your powers quickly." He told her walking towards Chris. "You need more than the Titans' help. You need a teacher. A mentor. And above all, a team with experience."
"That's us." Dark Angel said with a smile.
Chris looked at Slade's apprentices and then looked back at Slade.
"I—I don't know. The Titans told me you're—"
"Who are you really going to believe Chris? The people that took you from your home and tried to make you fight when you had absolutely no experience, or the people that are willing to help you with your problem and get you back home?" Slade asked her.
Chris clenched her fist angrily remembering why she was even here in the first place. Anger filled her body which made her hands and eyes glow green.
She turned around and looked at Slade and his apprentices still clenching her fist in anger.
"I'm in." She said.
"Good, we'll start your training—now." Slade said as Super Nova changed into a T-Rex and whacked Chris with her tail.
Chris was hit and was sent flying into the ocean.
"Attack!" Slade yelled as his apprentices did as they were told. Sasuke grew claw-like wings, Dark Angel grew black wings, Super Nova levitated from the roof, and Envy got a hold of Super Nova's shoulder absorbing a little bit of her levitation powers as they all charged after Chris.
"What the hell is this?" Chris asked floating in the water.
"Your training." Dark Angel said to her as she got a hold of Envy's hand to give her some of her power. Dark Angel and the rest of her team then all transformed into sharks, except for Sasuke who go transformed into a shark by Dark Angel. They all dove into the water.
Chris looked around the water and couldn't see any of them. She then felt cold and saw her breath once again.
"Uh oh." She said to herself as she felt danger coming. She then saw Dark Angel and Sasuke pop out of the water charging after Chris and saw Super Nova and Envy with their mouths open showing their sharp teeth also charging after her.
Chris gave out a terrified scream and threw her arms over her ready for the pain she was about to feel, but instead was surrounded by a green force field that Dark Angel, Sasuke, Super Nova, and Envy crashed into.
They all shook off the pain and then changed back into their normal forms flying in their air.
"So, your powers normally come out when you're in danger." Envy said.
Dark Angel then raised her hand and made Chris levitate out of the water floating in front of her and the rest of her team.
"Let's see how much danger you have to be in, in order to make all of your powers come out." She said with an evil grin on her face as her eyes started to glow purple.
"Wait, I think there's a better way to experience all of her powers." Envy said stopping Dark Angel from seriously hurting Chris.
"Ah man." Dark Angel said a little disappointed as Envy got a hold of Chris' arm and started absorbing her powers. Chris changed back.
Envy then closed her eyes and transformed into an outfit that was similar to the one Chris was wearing. She had a black midriff and black mini skirt with white gloves and white boots. She also had long white hair and glowing green eyes.
"Oh my God." Envy said to herself.
"What is it?" Sasuke asked. "Her powers are incredible! I can feel all her energy and strength. It's ten times stronger than any other power I've ever come in contact with!" Envy told them.
Envy's whole body then started to glow green. She groaned in pain as she held onto her head and yelled in agony.
"Envy! What's happening!" Super Nova panicked.
Suddenly, a green cylinder formed around her and then formed into a bright beam of light.
When the light dimmed, Envy was falling and was about to hit the ocean, but Super Nova flew towards her and caught her.
"Are you okay?" Super Nova asked.
Envy shook her head trying to get back to her senses. "Yeah, I'm fine."
"What happened?" Sasuke asked.
"Chris' power is so strong. Other people would die trying to control that much power. Since she was born with these powers, they got use to forming in her body for fourteen years. Only Chris can control that much power." Envy explained.
"Is that good or bad" Chris asked.
"I don't really know." Envy told her. "What I do know, is that you have ghost powers."
"Ghost powers?" She repeated.
"Yes. You could go through solid objects, disappear, fly, produce green force fields, shoot green plasma rays, control other people's bodies, make other objects including people levitate, yell out super sonic waves, and duplicate yourself."
"Wow, I got a lot of kick ass powers.' Chris said with a smile on her face. "Now, what do I have to do in order to control transforming?'
"There's a thing you have to say. It lets your body know that you want to unleash your powers." Envy told her.
"And the thing I have to say is—" She asked waiting for Envy to tell her.
"That's something you have to figure out."
"Aw man." Chris whined.
"All right, close your eyes and think of the first thing that comes to your mind." Envy instructed.
Chris did as she was told and closed her eyes thinking of anything that came to her mind.
"I'm—I'm going . . . ghost? I'm going ghost!" She yelled as a white ring formed around her and transformed her into her ghostly form.
"I did it!' Chris said happily as she started to float up in the air.
"Well whoopty-doo for you." Dark Angel said dryly.
Chris glared at Dark Angel but then ignored her and kept on listening to Envy.
"All right. Now in order to control a certain power, or unleash it, you need to have a certain feeling." She explained. "We already know anger unleashes your plasma rays. Now what about everything else?'
"I got it." Dark Angel said as her eyes started to glow purple and shot out a ray which was coming towards Chris.
Chris yelped and covered her face with her arms which formed a green force field protecting her from the ray.
"So, when something's coming after you, your force field pops up." Dark Angel said to her. "What else is their?"
"Hmm. I see a patter." Sasuke said to them. "Anger unleashes her plasma rays. Fear brings out her force fields."
"Emotions! Her powers are inclined with her emotions! Oh Sasuke you're brilliant!" Dark Angel said hugging him. Sasuke blushed.
"Oh brother." Super Nova, Envy, and Chris groaned.
"Are they always like this?" Chris asked.
"Pretty much." Super Nova and Envy said in unison.
"All right, break it up you two." Super Nova said pulling Dark Angel and Sasuke apart.
"Okay, we've covered anger; fear. What else is their?" Envy asked.
"How 'bout happiness?" Dark Angel suggested.
"All right. Think about something that makes you happy Chris." Envy told her.
"(Cough)(Cough) Having a figure (Cough)(Cough)." Dark Angel teased. Chris looked back at Dark Angel and gave her a death glare.
"Ignore her." Envy said. "Just think of something that makes you happy."
"I already have something in mind." Chris said still glaring at Dark Angel. She then closed her eyes and concentrated. She vanished.
"Invisibility. Awesome." Super Nova smiled. Chris then appeared in front of them again.
"Very nice. What did you think about?" Envy asked.
"Oh, nothing really important." She said glancing at Dark Angel.
Dark Angel got hit in the stomach with a green plasma ray which made her fall to the ground coughing up a little blood.
"I said I wanted Hot Cheatos stupid ass!" Chris yelled.
"Yes Chris. I'm very very sorry." Dark Angel apologized bowing her head like crazy. "It'll never happen again."
"It better not. Now go get me some Hot Cheatos, oh, and while you're at it, go to the store and get me that Linkin Park Live From Texas DVD." Chris ordered.
"Yes Master." Dark Angel said bowing. "I only live to serve you your greatness."
"Hey Chris. What are you smiling about?" Super Nova asked.
"Um, nothing." Chris said coming back to reality. "All right. Let's try thinking of more emotions that'll help me open up my powers."
"You got it." Envy said.
"And we won't stop until we've seen you use all your powers." Super Nova said.
"We're here for ya." Dark Angel said with a smile.
Chris smiled too. "You can't fool me with that friendly smile Dark Angel." She thought.
"Thanks guys."
