Blitzkrieg's Journal
Entry #3
It has been three days since we have moved into our new home which is dubbed Titans Tower. Living with the Titans is…different to say the least. The first morning at the Tower Beast Boy made it clear about his vegan diet, much to the displeasure of Cyborg. They already started arguing about which is better meat or tofu, so much for a peaceful breakfast. But then again, we are superheroes when are things ever peaceful. Robin and I have been sparing on a regular basis's now, I have pick up some new tricks that I can use in combat. Starfire has been helping me with my flying and teaching me a little bit of her culture and native tongue, while Robin and I have in turn been teaching her about Earth and its customs. Raven has been working with me on controlling my emotions though mediation. It is really helping me, I don't have as many emotional outburst, but I do let Light out every so often so everyone else can acquainted with him. Heh Raven hates him; she won't even talk to him at all, the others like him well enough. Especially Beast Boy they are like a peas in a pod.
All in all I have been getting along with everyone; I could say that this is the happiest time of my life. I have to leave now, Robin says there is a carnival at the docks so we are heading there to relax and have some fun.
At the moment, the team and I was at the fair taking place at Jump's boardwalk, carnival rides, games, and all assortments of unhealthy snack foods abound; Robin and Starfire were riding the Ferris wheel together while Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Raven, much to the mage's distress, had formed a little group taking their tries at the carnival games. I was currently winning prizes for everyone as thanks for everything they have done. We were in uniform which made some people stare and take pictures but that was it. For the others at least, I only got stares and hated looks as usual. I made my way over to a game to win a gift for Raven.
"Excuse me, how much for this game?" I asked politely, stepping up to the dart tossing game, much like any other you'd find at a fair, carnival, or festival. I look at the man behind the counter, he was smirking.
"One dollah for three darts!" the man behind the counter said animatedly, since such mannerisms prompted people into spending five bucks at the least for each visit. "Pop a balloon, win a prize," he said pointing to the ceiling, an array of stuffed animals and plushies from varying media. After looking around, most of the prizes too distasteful or too troublesome to win or carry around, my eyes landed on a Jack Skellington and a Sally plushie.
'Perfect not to girly, and dark...it will probably be better than what Beast boy will get her... like a giant chicken or something to that nature.' I thought.
"Three darts please," I said passing a one dollar bill to the clerk, who happily slipped it the note into the lock box before handing over three red darts.
"Here ya go kid. Three darts," the man returned. Staring intently at the slightly-pointed projectiles, I figured out that with the way that they were slightly dulled, that I would need more force than a straight-forward trajectory to pop the balloons. Hence that is just how the game was rigged. However, this guy wasn't dealing with the average carnival-goer, but someone who had a very large collective knowledge of every martial art known to man. I knew enough that I would need a parabolic arc. The descent would give the dulled darts enough force to pop the balloons.
"I think he believes that you will be his next sucker Sean. Let's teach him a lesson. Please~" Light coed.
In a flash I had thrown them with enough force to pop two balloons, but the third dart bounce off its target and fell to the ground. Okay so I haven't mastered it yet so what, I works out I do not need a third prize from this game.
"Huh. Guess you win two prizes then," the man said scowling, noticing the parabolic arc used. "Well alright then. What's the man want?"
I point to the Jack Skellington and a Sally plushie, the man retrieving the two before tossing them to me. With my prizes I went to find everyone and give them their gifts.
Normal P.O.V
At the same time, Beast boy and Cyborg were by the ring toss carnival game, Raven wishing she'd have some alone time with Blitzkrieg...wait Blitzkrieg... alone. 'Why do I want to be alone with him, sure he is a great mediation partner and friend but that is it. Besides, there is no way he would be interested in me.'
As all these thoughts were going through her head, Beast Boy and Cyborg were apparently making a big deal out of winning the ring toss, exchanging a high five before the changeling grabbed the biggest and most cumbersome prize he could get his grey-gloved hands on.
"I told ya we'd win a prize," Beast boy said handing her a large egg-shaped chicken plushie, the thing up to Beast Boy's shoulder.
"A giant chicken. I must be the luckiest girl in the world," Raven sighed as she begrudgingly took the chicken, her voice practically oozing with sarcasm.
"Yes you are," a voice behind them said.
They turn around to see Blitzkrieg holding a bag full of prizes in one hand and in the other a Jack Skellington and a Sally plushie. "Not only do you get a fabulous giant chicken, but also a Sally plushie," Blitz said starting with sarcasm and ended with his normal smooth voice.
"You got this for me?" Raven asked surprised taking the Sally plushie
"Yes, consider it a thank you for helping me." Blitz said "And with this one we now have two of a pair." he said motioning to the Jack Skellington in his hands with a smile. Pushing the chicken plushie into BB's arms, the changeling pouted at how readily she took the other plushie instead, Blitz notice this and handed him and Cyborg own, "You guys didn't think I forgot about you now," he reach into the bag and gave them there gifts, "here you go."
Raven was noting that her gift wasn't too girly for her tastes, though before she could thank him things started heating up at the Ferris wheel.
"Titans, trouble!" Robin said jumping down from the Ferris wheel.
"Where's Starfire?" Cyborg asked looking around for said alien.
"That's the trouble!" Said Robin as he took off running towards the docks and they followed him to see Starfire being chased by a pink robotic squid.
"No more chasing now please!" Star cried as she took off, taking off past the others who had made it to the end of the boardwalk, when the squid was about to pass however...
"Hold this please." Blitz said to Raven as he passed the bag full of plushies to her and pulling out his quarterstaff extending half of it, then as the squid was about to pass he swung the it with all his might slowing it down. He grabs one of the tentacles and delivered 1200 volts of electricity into its body, it was not effective at all.
Blitz muttered an, "Oh Shit," as he taken for a ride for a bit as it reengaged the chase. Starfire circled around the Ferris wheel and stopped back with the group, but when she stopped Blitz's grip was slipping plus the tentacles lashing at him and forced him to let go, causing him to nearly bowl right to the others, had Raven not plucked him out of the air with her magic, a smile on the electro-kinetic face under his face mask when he saw the girl had looped the rings on the backs of their plushies onto her belt.
Beast boy leaping forward had transformed into a crocodile in order to bite into the thing, only for it to prove too slippery as it flew past them. Raven then chucked a hot dog stand at the thing, only for the pink, black, and grey tentacle monster to plow right through it. When it tried to fly past Cyborg however, quickly grabbed the thing's tentacles.
"Rrrgh. Don't know what you did to make this thing mad Star, but it couldn't hurt to apologize," Cyborg grunted out as he held the thing back, even as it tried flying forward.
"I am... sorry?" she asked more as a statement, still trying to wrap her head around what was going on. When the thing squirmed out of Cyborg's grip however, Robin and Blitz quickly whipped out their respective staffs and leap at the thing, slamming the staffs into it with a loud ringing sound as it stumbled back before falling into the sea with a loud splash.
"So... Did we just win?" Beast boy saw fit to ask as he looked over the edge, only for it to shoot up through the boardwalk.
"You had to say that didn't you," Blitz said as the thing went after Starfire again, only for Robin to leap onto it and steer it away, looking for an off switch before he decided to just make one, punching through a maintenance hatch before yanking out whatever he could get his hands on, some alien wiring by the looks of it, before he hopped off, the thing bulging and convulsing as it headed into the sky and exploded spectacularly in the heavens.
"Whatever that thing was, it can't hurt you now," Robin said trying to reassure her.
"But... Why did it wish to hurt me at all?" she asked worriedly. As far as she knew, the Gordanians would lay off now that they'd been shown their advances wouldn't be taken quietly, so who would send a sophisticated drone like that to try and capture her?
(Back at the Tower)
Given that Cyborg was still developing the Teen Titan's overall mode of transportation at the moment -which he kept hidden under a tarp when not working on it-, the Teen Titans had two main modes of transportation available to them before that time came. One was for the flyers to help those who couldn't along, Star being the only one actually capable of carrying Cyborg's ton-weight bulk. The other was via an unmarked patrol car in the form of a van capable of holding them all with a little lack of elbow room, or just the ground-bound with plenty of elbow room, should the team be exhausted from their patrols.
"Come friends. I shall thank you for my rescue by reciting the Poem of Gratitude," Star said as oddly enough, the scenery around her became very flowery, "All six thousand verses."
"I see you haven't changed a bit," a girl with black hair, orange skin, and purple eyes highly resembling the team's alien said from against the back of the couch, though her eyes were slightly more narrowed than Star's and were purple. As if to make things weirder, the girl appeared to be wearing the exact same, if not slightly modified, outfit that Star had been wearing when she initially escaped the Gordanians, only without the headdress and with slight aesthetic modifications. "When we were little I was always rescuing Starfire."
"Eee! Sister!" Starfire squealed as she ran up and hugged the black-haired version of her.
"Brought you the present," the black-haired girl said after separating, pulling out what look a stout Green Rupee with a metal loop on the top attached to a black cord.
"A Centauri Moon Diamond? Where did you get-" Starfire gasped
"On the Centauri moons of course," the black-haired girl replied. "Oh look, it matches your eyes," she said with a smile after looping the cord around the girl's neck, who smiled widely before pulling her over to the others.
"You must meet my friends," she said before yanking the girl off her feet. "I wish to introduce my big sister-"
"Blackfire," the girl spoke,whose English was more fluent than Star's. "And since Star told me all about the Titans in her transmissions, let me guess... Cyborg," she said addressing the larger teen.
"Pleased to meet you little lady," he said with a smile giving her handshake, when he raised his hand up it was crushed from the girl's blatant super strength. "Little lady, big hand shake," he chuckled with a grin. "Well all right."
"Raven," she said stepping over to the mage. "I like that gemstone on your Anja chakra," she said commenting the red gem on the girl's forehead.
"You... know about chakras?" she asked.
"I got way into meditation on Altara Prime," Black answered. "Beast Boy, what's up?" she then asked the greenette.
"Nothin' but the ceiling baby," he quipped.
"Ah haha. Good one," she chuckled.
"See. She thinks I'm funny," BB said over his shoulder.
"Statistically, I suppose someone has to," Rae then returned.
Blackfire turn her attention to Robin. "You must be Robin. Oh I am loving this cape, it's positively luscious," she said leaping to his back and running her fingers along the left edge of his cape.
"Thanks. It's a high-density polymerized titanium, ten times stronger than steel," he went on to explain.
"Fascinating," the girl returned with intrigued eyes. "And this mask makes you look very mysterious," she then said leaning towards him, causing Star to gape.
"Yo was up everybody," said Blitz who was now Light said as he walk in, "Who is this?" he asked pointing at Blackfire.
"Ah you must be her 'teacher of Earth's customs', Blitzkrieg," she said extending a hand to electro-kinetic which he took, "The names Blackfire."
"Pleasure," Blitz said politely, taking her hand giving it kiss though his mask much to the surprise for everyone. Blitzkrieg is never this open even if Light is in control.
"My my, you're a real gentleman aren't you," she said with a smirk as she started tracing Blitz's jaw line, "I just love you eyes," she said seductively looking deeply into his eyes, "There mysterious." By this time Blitz had managed to take control of himself and pulled back. "So it is true you do have two personalities, you are very interesting I can't wait to get to know you even better," Blackfire said etching closer to Blitz who was slowly backing up his face beet red.
"So, beloved sister, what brings you to Earth?" Starfire interrupted.
"I was in the quadrant. Thought I'd see if Earthlings liked to party," she said throwing her legs over the couch. "Besides, I needed a rest. Nearly got sucked into a black hole on the way here," she went on to explain, Robin, Beast Boy, and Cy suddenly very interested in how the girl got there voicing their own questions. "Okay, I'm cruising through the Draconus Nebula and-"
"Sister, that nebula is full of black holes. You know travel there is forbidden," Star stated worriedly, though that was understandable since a person getting sucked into a black hole wasn't something to turn your nose up to.
"Most fun things in life are. Now, be a sweetie and get me one of those sodas I've heard so much about," Black said waving off her sister, the girl grumbling as she walked over to the fridge and grabbed a yellow and green can labeled Soda.
"I see you haven't changed much either," she sighed, the tone of her voice showing that the initial thrill of having her older sister there had long since been expired. Little did she know that thousands of miles away, the alien probe from earlier had friends, one of which, even in death, was pointing a group of red-armored aliens straight towards Earth.
(Next day)
"Sister? Sister? Sister, I seek your companionship," Star called out as she looked around the next day, having not found her sister in the Titan's guest room where she'd been sleeping after thrilling the boys the previous night. Blitz did not take part in it, instead he went to the roof to meditate with Raven, having not been recorded to coming back until an hour or so after Blackfire had finished regaling a series of fascinating stories to the other guys, where they then went on to watch TV accompanied by pizza before heading to bed.
Coming to the common area, she saw BB and Cy using the holographic TV screen to play a racing-type game, this one where you could customize the racers.
"You wanna pass me, but you can't pass me," Cy said with a smile before he faltered at a beeping sound. "You can't pa- passed me!"
"Tighten the turn, jets, and NITRO! Hahahaha!" the changeling whooped as he passed the cyborg's blue and white racer.
"Excuse me, but have any of you seen Blackfire?" she asked approaching the two.
"Blazin' B? She was here just a second ago," BB said half-focused on the game.
"Aw yeah! Back in the lead! Hahaha!" Cy grinned as he knocked BB's racer off the track.
"What fun. May I join your game?" Star asked happily.
"Winner plays Blackfire," Cy said as he continued playing while BB tried desperately to get back in the game.
"Yeah, she rules at this game," BB said with hearts in his eyes.
"I see," Star said walking out.
Star had then walked up to Raven's door and knocked, waiting patiently before the door had opened a few inches.
"Is... my sister in there?" she then asked.
"No," she said plainly as she closed the door.
"Oh. Might you wish to, hang... out, with me?" she asked, the door opening just enough to see a bit of Raven's face. "We could visit your favorite depressing cafe."
"Already been. It was open mic, and Blackfire wanted to share. You sister's poetry is surprisingly dark," she said with a ghost of a smile on her face before closing the door fully. With a sigh, the girl walked down the hallways, coming up to the gym just in time to see Robin and Blackfire's shadows get very close to one another, the red-head faltering before she rushed in, somewhat thankful that Robin had been thrown to the other side of the gym, and that it wasn't what she thought she was seeing.
"Learned that from a Ben'zou master on Tyrus 3," Blackfire remarked once Robin oriented himself.
"Hello Robin and... my sister," Star said coming in trying to act like she wasn't upset. "Am I interrupting?"
"Not at all. Blackfire was just showing me some alien martial arts. How come you never taught me these cool moves?" he asked.
"Probably because she doesn't know them," Black said in a slightly condescending tone. "I always was the better fighter. Come on, I'll show you a technique I once used to stop a raging Orthax," she then said dragging the blushing Robin away, Star's expression saddening as she made her way out of the gym and into the hall. After walking absently down the corridors for an hour or so, hard to tell since there were no clocks actively placed in the tower, her expression brightened when she saw her friend Blitz toweling off his neck after coming out of the training room, currently walking down the hallway.
"Friend Blitz, do you wish to spend time teaching me so more of Earth customs and maybe some drawing?" Starfire asked, Blitz had promised her that he would teach her how to draw after she saw how wonderful his drawings were.
"Of course Onee-chan, I would love to teach you now," Blitz answered, Star look at him with a confused look, "Onee-chan is Japanese for older sister, in other words I consider you like an older sister to me," he explained.
"Really friend Blitz," Star said excitedly with stars in her eyes flew over and hugged Blitz.
Blitz notice something was off about Starfire because she was trembling slightly, "Okay, Starfire, is something wrong," Blitz said pulling them apart which was surprisingly easy, "Please, tell me why my bubbly Onee-chan is so down?" he asked clasping her hands together.
"Oh, it is most worrisome friend Blitz," Starfire sighed. "My big sister Blackfire, she is... monopolizing, the others time, and I'm afraid that she will replace me on the team," she found herself admitting.
"Talking about me behind my back?" Blackfire asked suddenly coming up behind her, causing her to 'eep' and whirl around. "That's certainly new for you. Glad to see you've grown up a little bit," she said before turning her attention to Blitz. "Come on Babe. Let me see your drawings that everyone has been talking about," she said as she took the electro-kinetic by arm and started dragging him off, despite the protests and leaving behind a saddened red-haired Tamaranian behind.
(A few hours later)
An hour or so later Blitz and Blackfire had returned, after that the group had all moved into the living room, each doing their own thing; Robin was using a console, Raven was reading, Beast Boy and Cy were watching TV, and Blitz was reading his own book next to Raven. It was at that moment, the sun setting in the distance, that Starfire came into the living room, a large stack of DVDs, popcorn, and snacks piled high on her hands.
"Friends, I invite you to join me in the togetherness of a stay-home movie night," she said getting their attention. "I bring you popcorn, and non-cotton candies. Tell me, what sort of movie shall we view?"
"Action."
"Comedy."
"Sci Fi."
"Horror."
"Historically-based," Blitz said following Robin, Beast Boy, Cyborg, and Raven's answers, the four looking at him oddly at his choice of movie. "What? If you don't learn from the past you are doom to repeat in the future." he said the others continued to look at oddly except Raven who couldn't help but smile at the electro-kinetic 'Wise words. Not too many people have them.' Raven thought.
This of course -the varied answers - caused Star to visibly deflate, dropping all that she carried in. "Perhaps... a double-feature?" she went on to ask with a distressed look. The guys really weren't making it easy for her to hang out with them at the present time, and Blackfire-
"Forget the flicks kids. We're going out," she said walking into the living room...And wearing Star's clothes.
"We are? Where did you-? Are those my-?"
"Heard about a party downtown. Cool crowd, hot music," Black said totally ignoring her sister.
"Cool." "I'm in." and "Why not," were Beast Boy, Cyborg, and Robin's respective answers.
"And it's in a creepy run-down warehouse," Blackfire then tacked on; garnering Raven's attention from the dusty old book she was reading. At that the team left for the party, though for some odd reason Beast Boy had transformed into a gorilla after passing Starfire.
"Hey sweetie. Raided your closet. Hope you don't mind me borrowing your look," Blackfire said as she passed her sister.
"Why not? You have already borrowed my friends," Starfire said with a deadpanned expression.
"Come on now. You know that's not true," Blitz said placing a hand on her shoulder, surprising the red-head at his presence beside her, since she'd assumed he would leave like the others.
"Friend Blitz? Why are you not going to the party with the others?" she asked.
"I don't like big crowds," he said shrugging his shoulders. "But if you want I can escort you there anyway Onee-chan," he said affectionately extending a hand to her. Blitz knows that Star was hurting on the inside, she was afraid that she would be forgotten something that Blitz knows all to well.
"Oh thank you friend Blitz! You are most and truly kind!" she said bypassing his extended hand and pulling him into a crushing hug, a loud cracking sound ringing through the air which Beast Boy swore he heard from the lobby.
(The Party)
Flashing neon lights, loud booming music and more people packed inside than a can of sardines. Yet Blackfire seemed to have an invisible barrier on her that allowed her to pass through the masses and into the heart of the club. Starfire however, was not as lucky, as she bumped into party goers and one of them even stepped on her foot. This sight made Raven shake her head and continue, Blitz would have helped but he disappeared shortly after arriving.
"Don't tell me you big tough superheros are afraid of a little dancing." Blackfire said to Beast boy, Cyborg, and Robin who were the ones closest to her as she danced.
"I bet you Cyborg can do the robot." Beast boy joked as he did the robot, but the un-amused stare that Cyborg gave him made him stop, then Cyborg, Beast boy, and Robin started to dance
"This party is pointless." Raven said, then a goth looking boy walked up to Raven
"Everything's pointless, wanna go talk about it?" The goth boy asked Raven who shrugged and started to walk away with him.
(A few minutes later) Blitz P.O.V
I was sitting in the raptors looking down into the party; my nerves started getting the best of me.
'something is not right here i know that Starfire had a sister but that it. if only Trigon hadn't removed that information i might be able to remember.
"There is no point in worrying about it, besides she not that bad," Light said
"Of course you would say that she hasn't stop seducing us since she got here, well us and Robin." I told him sighing.
I decided to move to the roof. I was just in time to see a pink hair Blackfire pulling Robin back into the party. I walk towards a downtrodden Star. Before I could ask her if she was okay, pink tentacles grab me and threw me though the glass roof.
Normal P.O.V
Beast boy was having a great time as he was dancing with Cyborg behind him and two lovely ladies next to him. Then looking up he spotted Blitz falling. He quickly transform into a tiger and grabbing Blitz mid fall. When they landed Blitz said, "Squidward had friends ugh," he groaned shaking himself.
"Cy, Star's in trouble!" Beast boy shouted to Cyborg who froze mid-dance and turned towards Beast boy and Blitz, but was shocked when Beast boy was abducted by another probe, Cyborg then ran after him only to get tackled to the ground by a second one. Blitz ran to help Beast Boy. Safe to say at this point the party goers scattered….
"So you like show tunes?-" The goth boy asked Raven who was leaning against a tower of boxes. Then the captured Beast boy floated by with the pink squid's tentacles binding him being chase by Blitz, the goth boy ran away while Raven got out of her relaxed positions.
Raven floated upwards and smashed two crates at the thing as Blitz threw two shock cards for good measure, the thing then let go of Beast boy who landed on his backside. Raven then looked up and noticed a third one flying around with Star in its clutches, Raven was grabbed by Blitz and was pulled towards him as the tentacle monster had suddenly dived down through the skylight smashing in some debris.
"Um, Blitz you can let go now," Raven said blushing as she was held close to Blitz's chest, surprisingly she was not that bothered by it.
"What," he said looking down his own blush creeping up on him, "oh I am sorry about that," he said as he released her.
"It's no problem," Raven said calming down, "Anyway we need to go help Starfire," with that she floated away, "Right," Blitz flowing close behind.
Cyborg knock one of the aliens to the side as Starfire broke free of the debris, blasting one of the aliens with a star-beam. Beast Boy leaped out of the way and transformed into a tiger mid-flip, who pounced at the tentacle monster and smacked it back with its paw, the three suddenly turning their attention to Star, Cy, Blitz, and Raven coming to her aid knocked two out of the way, Cy grappling with one of them as Blitz slammed his lighting enhanced staff at the other sending it back. Cyborg getting knocked away when one of the things knocked him away as it spun around wildly with Blitz dodging it and augmenting his feet with lighting magnetizing them he stuck himself to the ceiling.
"That is going to hurt in the morning..." Blitz muttered flinching when Cy burst through one of the walls, catching Robin and Blackfire by surprise when the dust settled.
"What's going on?" Robin asked, having been a bit preoccupied with Blackfire's advances towards him.
"Remember that thing that attacked Star? It had friends," Cy said before getting up and running back into the brawl. Following after him, the Boy Wonder faced Blackfire and noticed she had yet to move from her spot,
"Didn't you hear him? Your sister needs help." Robin said quickly, pointing to where the fighting is
"Right... Of course," the black-haired Tamaranian said discarding her pink wig and running to join the fight.
At the same time outside, Star had been knocked through a warehouse wall and into another before falling into an open dumpster, the lid falling over her from the sudden jarring. Before she could get out however, one of the tentacle monster clamped down on it and held it shut, its cohort's then heading off towards the horizon. A few seconds into the girl's screams however, Robin's bird-a-rangs had cut off two tentacles dropping the dumpster.
"Teen Titans go!" the group leader said as he caught his projectile weapon, Blackfire rushing at the aliens as they suddenly found her worth noticing, flying straight towards her with tentacles forward. To the Titan's surprise, the black-haired girl had suddenly fired purple eye beams straight through the thing's lower bodies, which sparked before they each detonated. As bits and pieces of the tentacle monsters clattered across the ground, Robin, Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Raven approached the black-haired girl, whereas Blitz went ahead to check on Starfire.
"Aw yeah! Good times!" Cy said as he ran up to her.
"Nice shootin' Tex," BB added.
"Very nice," Rae complimented.
"How did you know where to hit them?" Robin asked, finding how quickly she took the three down a bit odd.
"Lucky guess," the girl offered.
"We could use luck like that. Maybe you outta join the team," Cy offered.
"Me? A Teen Titan?" Blackfire asked with partially-hidden shock, Starfire opening the lid on the dumpster and gasping with wide eyes. This action had the accidental effect of nailing Blitz in the chin knocking him out.
(Back at the Tower)
Later that evening at the shocking revelation, the group had gotten back home to the tower, the majority of the group celebrating their victory. While Robin, Beast Boy, and Cyborg celebrated with Blackfire, Raven and Blitz went back to their rooms for their own reasons. For Raven, it was because she was disappointed that the goth she was speaking with brought up something as peppy as show tunes. For Blitz it was to put ice on his chin and do some research on Trigon (of course he didn't tell anyone that).
It was later into that evening that Starfire was walking to the edge of the roof, a pink backpack in hand with a few meager possessions stowed away. Looking up at the moon, the girl sighed as she was about to take off into the wild blue yonder, and then into the ether. However, before she could do so, a familiar voice caught her attention.
"Are you just going to leave without saying goodbye?" Robin asked walking up to the roof. Flying over to him, the girl let her bag drop from her shoulders as she attempted to collect her thoughts.
"Robin... I *gasp*" was all the girl could say before a grey alien drop ship with a pair of red-armored crustacean aliens suddenly dropped down, the low humming being the only thing to alert them to their presence. Robin quickly whipped out his cape to act like a guard, the first red-armored alien releasing a green tentacle-like weapon from its clawed arm and bypassing his guard, sending the spiky-haired teen reeling from the force of the hit. On the return trip, it wrapped around Starfire's waist, arms, and mouth, preventing her from even crying out.
Growling as he got up, the Boy Wonder ran at Starfire in an attempt to grab onto the tentacle that was taking her away, leaping off the roof and flying a dozen or so feet before he lost momentum and began falling. Losing sight of the Boy Wonder, Star cried out against the thing across her mouth as she was taken away into the night sky.
At the same time, as Robin fell just short of catching Starfire, he suddenly felt someone grab his belt and saw a grappling hook attach to the alien ship. Robin looked over his shoulder to look at Blitz who was reeling them in closer to the ship.
"You know for being name after a bird you don't fly so well." Blitz said to him, eyes crinkling to show that he was smiling at Robin under his mask.
"Blitz? I thought that you were in your room..." Robin said even as they headed towards the ship.
"It is very hard not to notice a giant ship outside your window." Blitz explained which Robin made an, 'oh' sound at.
"Any way shouldn't we go save your girlfriend?" Blitz stated still smiling.
"S-She's not my girlfriend," the Boy Wonder muttered with a tinged of red on his face.
"Are you sure?" Blitz asked amused, "You could have fooled me."
"Just focus on getting us to the ship!" Robin shouted blushing; Blitz chuckled as he continued with what he was doing.
(In the Air)
Elsewhere high in the clouds, the sky tinted purple and the moon tinted violet, the alien ship prepared to leave Earth's atmosphere, the capturing alien placing a thin barrier of translucent energy around the captured Tamaranian, the green tentacle-like binds still holding her arms to her body and her mouth shut. Despite all this, the girl continued to struggle, crying out incessantly against her binds.
"Prepare to leave Earth orbit. We have the Tamaranian girl," the first alien stated to his partner, who was currently guarding the dome holding Starfire.
"Once we return to Centauri, you will pay for what you have done," the guarding alien then said leaning over Star imposingly.
On the underside of the ship Blitz and Robin were perched there due to Blitz's powers and Robin's magnetic shoes; they were on different sides of the ship ready to attack from both sides.
"Nobody's taking her away." Robin muttered out, he then gave Blitz the signal and he nodded.
Starfire was about to cry again but stopped as Robin dropped down behind the guard looming over her, while Blitz dropped down behind the pilot. Tears of joy were on the break of leaking from her eyes when she saw that not only was Robin okay and here to help her, but Blitz had come as well.
"Our friend stays here!" Robin shouted as he engaged the first red-armored alien in combat. The second one had set it to autopilot and was about to attack the Boy Wonder, only for the electro-kinetic to spin kick him sending the alien back a bit.
"You have to get though me first crabby." Blitz said tauntingly as he pulled out his staff and fully extending it, giving the 'crab' alien a 'come hither' motion with two fingers. The alien charged at Blitz who blocked the incoming claw with the staff he then quickly spun it around and smack the alien in the head. The alien recovered and shot out a green tentacle binding bidding him. Blitz use his powers to augment his entire body melting the tentacle, the alien was moving towards Robin. Blitz launches a lightbolt (Like Starfire's starbolts) missing the alien and hitting the controls, blowing them up pushing the crab alien. The craft started ship was drifting towards the ground at a fast pace with one flaming turbine being the cause. 'Did I do that,"
'Smooth move dumbass ,' Light said to Blitz, who then noticed that Robin had turned off the barrier and ran towards him only to be stopped by the pilot who launched a claw at him only to be sweep kicked and land on his back. Blitz then ran over to Robin who had pry off the tentacle that bound Starfire, Robin then clasped her hand while Blitz jumped on his disc, they then jumped off the ship as it crashed into the ground. Then Starfire floated and set Robin down on the ground when the ship landed flat on its top. Blitz was not so luck he lost his balance and fell with a *crunch*.
"Blitz," Robin said as he ran over with Starfire, "You okay?" he asked.
Through gritted teeth he said, "Dislocated shoulder, can you-AH," he yelled as Robin fix the arm with a snap. Blitz muttered thanks.
"Star! Robin! Blitz!" Beast Boy called out as he ran up to them.
"Are you guys okay?" Cy asked, the group looking over their shoulders to see the two red-armored aliens walking away from their downed ship.
"Titans, get ready," Robin said as he and the others assumed fighting stances, he, Cy, BB, and Blitz forming up around Star while Raven stuck to the back and prepared to call out her magic.
"In the name of the Grand Centauri Empire, you are all under arrest," the leading alien said as it walked up to them, pulling a yellow black-marked pentagon-shaped badge from the plate of armor on its chest, throwing the six off completely.
"Wha-" Blitz said, very confused at the moment...
"Uh, you can't be the good guys. We're the good guys," Beast Boy argued.
"And we are Centauri police," the alien guard enunciated.
"The Tamaranian girl is a liar and a thief. She's committed high crimes against the entire Centauri system," the piloting alien said then pointing to Starfire, or rather, the Centauri Moon Diamond around her neck.
"I have never even been to the Centauri moons," Star said worriedly, Robin then pulling the rupee-esque necklace from around her neck off and examining the diamond on the end.
"But I know someone who has," Robin then said, causing Star to gasp. "You've been chasing the wrong girl," he explained to the police as he tossed the diamond toward the leading alien, hoping not to cause an intergalactic incident.
"Wait where is Blackfire?" Blitz asked looking around "she is not here."
"Uh..." Beast Boy stated pointing to the sky, a black dot moving through the heavens at a fast pace.
"Don't worry Star. She won't get away with this," Robin stated.
"No she will not!" Star growled with glowing narrowed eyes as she took off into the heavens, flying past a surprised Blackfire before coming to a stop. "Hello sister," she said with narrowed eyes and crossed arms.
"Aw, you're mad," Blackfire cooed finding it adorable. "I know, I should've told you I was leaving but I know how you hate goodbyes and-"
"You are a criminal and were about to let me take your place in jail," Star interrupted.
"Oh... Well... Yeah," she defended weakly.
"You will return what you have stolen and turn yourself over to the police," Star then said jabbing a finger at her sister.
"And what will you do if I don't?" Blackfire suddenly asked, her eyes glowing purple before she blasted Star with a concentrated starbolt, knocking the girl out of the sky with a cry of pain. "I always was the better fighter," she remarked, even as Star righted herself.
"Not anymore," she argued, her sister firing an array of starbolts at her, which she began flying straight through, the hours in the simulator practicing to avoid situations like this paying off as she weaved around every shot, not a single movement wasted before she was right on top of the black-haired girl. The next moment she chucked a starbolt at the girl's right hand, somehow short-circuiting her powers as she rose up to face her sister, twin orbs of light glowing brightly in her hands. Blackfire was about to begin the fight anew, a chuckle rising from her lips before it was suddenly caught off, a green alien tentacle wrapping around her arms and body, the last of the length coiling around her neck.
"Blackfire of Tamaran, you are under arrest," the alien guard said from the other end of the green tentacle, having gotten their ship off the ground during the fight.
"Farewell sister. Although you did betray and attack me, it was... still very nice to see you," Star said waving her sister goodbye, even as she struggled against her bonds.
"Next time it won't be so nice," Blackfire threatened. "I will get out of jail little sister, and I will get even!"
(Next day)
The next morning after the sun rose into the sky, Starfire was sitting at the edge of the roof, the wind blowing through her hair as the clouds blew by, her body soaking up the sun's rays as she thought back to how she and her sister had been separated. How things had gone wrong between them.
"Hey. How're you doing?" Robin asked as he came up to the girl and sat down beside her.
"I am... sad for my sister," she admitted.
"And for yourself?" Robin asked.
"I am just glad that the truth was discovered before I was replaced," Starfire sighed. Had Blackfire's plan succeeded, and she was taken away from Earth to the Centauri prisons, she wasn't sure what she'd do.
"What're you talking about?" Robin asked worriedly.
"Well, you... Everyone was having such fun with her, and then Cyborg said…" Starfire rambled, drumming her ungloved fingers against her knees
"Look, your sister was... interesting," Robin said stopping her rambling and placing his hands on her own. "But she could never take your place. No one... could ever take your place," he finished with a smile, the Tamaranian girl smiling warmly. They then watched the sunrise together for the next few hours, breakfast could wait...
(Danger Room/Simulation Floor) Blitz P.O.V
I was currently fighting against assortment of Centauri police and their squid things. Both of my quarterstaff were out one was fully extended while the other was only half extended. While I was fighting against I started scolding myself.
"Damn it why can't I beat them. I have to be better than this if I want any chance against Trigon and his minions."
I was down to a single Centauri guard. My quarterstaffs were on the other side of the room, having been knocked out of my hand by the squids, the guard move launching a green tentacle. I side step to the side and moved forward, kicking it in the face pushing it back. I began back stepping, putting as much distance as I could away from the alien. I gather as much lighting as I could in the palm of my right hand.
'CHIDORI'
I ran towards the lone Centauri and punch all the way though its armor. When I pulled out my hand the hologram dissipated, that is when I felt the burning sensation in my right hand. I took off my gloves and my hand was covered in first almost second degree burns. 'Shit' I thought putting my glove back on, I retrieved my staffs and made my way the medical bay. When I entered the medical room I began searching for bandages and ointment. 'I need to find some way to reduce the heat so I don't burn off my hands' I thought as I was searching. I located the materials and began applying the ointment and bandages. When I was finished I putting everything back, not noticing Robin coming in the room.
"You need something?" he said I gave a small yelp in surprise.
"Uh yea you know where I could find some aspirin." He opens a cabinet and pull out a small white bottle tossing it to me. "Thanks," I said pulling out two pills and giving the bottle.
"You shouldn't exert yourself to much when you train you won't be any good to us if you hurt yourself," Robin said, I gave no reply as I left the room.
DR: So what do you think
Blackfire: I didn't like it
DR: Of course you didn't you are going to jail.
Blackfire: But don't worry i will have my revenge. Don't forget to R&R or i will obliterate you all
DR: Sure you will. *Grabs Blackfire by the ear and throws her out the door* Now that is taken care of. On a side note i will have the next chapter up with in a few days i am doing some final editing work on it.
NEXT TIME ON THE TEEN TITANS
A gray-haired woman stepped in front of the monitor, wearing a view-sever dark outfit with a hexagonal gold patch on her right sleeve.
"Well, Mr. Slade?" the woman asked.
"Impressive. Truly," the man spoke from the shadows. "However, robots and obstacle courses only prove so much. My plans demand operatives who can function in the real world," he said getting up from his seat, the woman following him as he made his way across the catwalk behind his shadowed throne. "If your students are going to serve me, they will have to pass one final exam," he said as he ascended to a platform overlooking the gray-haired woman under one spotlight, while Jinx, Gizmo, and Mammoth all stood on the other. "Destroy the Teen Titans, and then we'll talk."
"Will that be all?" the woman asked.
"This one," he said pointing to a monitor showing Blitzkrieg. "Bring him to me alive, and you'll receive a healthy bonus, consider it as part of the primary objective." Slade said in a tone that left no room for any mistakes. With a bow the woman and her three students left, the light sources shutting off as the two factions went their separate ways. Slade turn towards the monitors that shown all of Jump at different sectors, "Let's see if you pass my little test, Sean." He said to no one in particular.
