Robin back stepped as Miist blurred at him hotly, blocking his strikes with his twirling bo-staff. When he saw an opportunity, he struck at Miist's steaming legs. Miist jumped over it and slammed both of his feet into Robin's face, sending him flying to the ground.
"Heheheheh!" He cackled, his eyes wide and unstable. "Does it hurt?"
Robin growled as he worked his way up into a crouched position.
"You tell me!" He dove at Miist, his bo-staff reared back.
Miist smirked and turned to steam. Robin jumped through him and skidded to a stop.
"Well now. You're now a wonder at all, boy! Hahahah!"
Meanwhile, on the deck of the Soggy Bottom, Beast Boy stood across from Fraust. He looked at her, not sure what to make of her sad face.
"What do you want?"
Fraust looked down.
"I want...release."
A pair of glittering ice rapiers appeared in her hand.
CHING!
She spun at Beast Boy, slashing at him.
"Wh-whoa!" Beast Boy turned into a green snake, slithered through her legs and changed back. "Look! I don't want to fight you!"
"Then don't!" Fraust slashed at him again.
TUNGGGGG!
Static Shock slammed into the interior side of the ship and slumped down to his knees. Flaar flew in with him, waiting for him to get back up.
"Ugh...let me tell ya something, man. You've picked the wrong cat to mess with!" Static stood up and held out his fingerless gloved hands. "Get ready for a shock to your system!"
Purple electricity shot out from Static's fingertips and dance through the metal of the ship. All at once, it shot and tangled Flaar up like a shocking spiderweb.
"Augh!" Flaar clutched his eyes shut and shook. He started to smoke, but then he reopened his eyes and they were glowing green.
"Wha-?"
Z-ZAAAAAAAAAAAF!
Green beams shot out and hit Static in the chest, slamming his against the inside of the ship again.
"This...is getting old..."
Starfire shook her head and slowly made it to her feet.
GURK!
She floated away just in time to avoid the green acid that landed and sizzled in the sand.
Acyd smirked viciously at her.
"Sorry. Must be something I ate."
Cyborg had finally trudged his way out of the water. The blue of his circuitry blinked erratically.
"Nobody!" He bellowed as he plucked a tendril of seaweed off of his shoulder. "Nobody messes with my tech!"
Acyd didn't see his famous left hook until it was too late.
WHAM!
She rolled and tumbled across the sand.
Terra had finally climbed back on the ship and, soaking wet, she plopped down on the deck.
"You look tired."
Terra looked up and Polaar stood before her. Her face was blank and her gray metal cape stood out behind her.
"I'm not too tired to take care of you!" Terra jumped to her feet.
Polaar looked calmly to the left and held out her hand. A metal brace supporting a mast started to crinkled, closing in on the wooden beam.
CRACK!
Terra's eyes widened as the mast feel towards her.
"!" She dove out of the way, but the shock wave of the impact sent her rolling.
WHAM!
Robin flew over the side of the ship from Miist's uppercut. At the last second, he grasped on to the guardrail to keep from falling in the water. Miist stood over him, a satisfied look on his face.
"You know what they say. Ever bird must someday...heheheh...die!" He drew back his hand and readied a pulse of burning steam. "Ack!"
A caped figure in black jump kicked him away and landed in his place.
"Robin, Robin, Robin..." Came an electronic voice behind the mask. "Still playing the hero, I see."
Robin grit his teeth.
"X..." He vaulted over to the deck and charged him, but he was met with a red elastic X that slammed into him and pinned him to the guardrail.
"Since you're tied up here, I think I'll go help myself to some Xenothium. You can never have enough, you understand. Like-UH!"
Murking, Noir slammed into his side. Red-X skidded across the deck, but then he hand vaulted up to his feet. He fell into a fighting stance across from the swordsman, but then he seemed to change his mind.
"I don't have time to mess with you, kid." He turned and sprinted down into the ship.
Noir followed him.
That's when I landed on the deck of the ship. I looked at Robin, tied up against the rail.
"So...what did I miss?"
