Hello everybody welcome to the longest chapter I have ever written. Which makes me all the more mad when my computer decided to screw with me again, this time it crashed just as I finished adding the fighting sequences. So instead of making you guys wait or give you a half-assed fight(s) I decided not to add the different fighting rounds. So this chapter will be more OC oriented and for that I apologize.
You see when I wrote this chapter I didn't add the other characters fight, instead I wrote only the fights that my OC were in. What I was going to do was go back and add the other fights in, but when I finished those fights my computer crashed causing me to lose all of the ones that I just added. So after colorfully displaying my displeasure I sat down and thought about how I was going to fix this. After much consideration I decided to not to go back and rewrite all of the fights, since it would take me a while I thought you guys had waited long enough and deserve the best, not some rush job.
As such I think I should let you guys know, that if I don't up date for a long time it would be because of this computer. I think it has a virus and the virus won't let me connect to the internet for minuets at a time or not all, even though the internet is working for everybody else. On a good note I'll be going back America in November and I'll be able to get my computer fix or get a new one we'll have to see. That means that I'll be able to update sooner, and expect a lot of updates too because I'm still going to write chapters.
Also I have a new poll up and this one for fans of Rosario Vampire. I said last chapter I've recently read a good series and it has me bringing all of my old stories our from storage, and I have two for this particular show.
One of them is about another human going to Yokai Academy, and the other is about a monster going to Yokai. Both stories will include Tsukune and crew, and the character will not be a student per say. Sorry but that's all I'm saying right now don't want to spoil it for you yet, but I will say that this character will not OP like it seems with most of the OC characters that are made. Most but not all.
Now the next poll I'll have up will be about what story I'll post next. Whether it will the RV story from above or a Starfox story will be up to you. Now the only difference is that I already have part of the Starfox story written out and I know where I generally want the story to go. As for the RV story, it is still in the develop stage, like the little details and such. (Where I want the story to go, and whose going to have a romantic attachment to the character and how that develops to that stage, or if I'm going to include elements from the show or am I going to branch out and how I'm going to do that. You know things like that.)
There will be a third choice that I'll put as other. If that choice wins then I'll look at my list of stories that I'm kicking around and put a new poll showing the ones that are close to the writing stage.
I still need theme songs: If it has a (?) by it that means it a possible theme song. If you guys agree with that choice send me a PM or review, and the one that has the most votes will become the theme. If a character already has a theme song chosen and you have a song that might be better. Go ahead and send it to me, if I think it's better than the current one I'll change it.

The Game
Which you just lost.
"Wood crushes soil," Blitz said tossing a card with a tree on it to the center of the table. Today The Teen Titans were sitting around enjoying one of their quieter moments. Since there was no crime so far the Titans decided to play a card game.
'It's not Magic the Gathering,' Blitz thought as his card came to a stop, 'But it will do.'
"Fire beats Wood," Raven said throwing a card with a flame over Blitz wood card, she threw him smug look. Blitz looked at her and just shrugged, with a smirk on his face, which kind of worried the mage.
"But Water beats Fire," Cyborg countered.
"Sun dries up Water," Beast Boy cut in.
"Thunderstorm blocks out Sun," Robin added.
"Tornado overpowers Thunderstorm," Terra interjected a smug look on her face.
"I'm out," Raven sighed putting her cards down and raising her hands. She looked over to Blitz who didn't seem to concern with the way the game was going, he just sat there waiting patiently holding his cards.
"Me too," Beast Boy sulked with ears drooping.
"I wish to… go the fish?" Starfire asked nervously looking at her hand with a hopeful smile. Raven and Beast Boy looked over her shoulders to see her hand. "Uh, you want to fold, Starfire," Beast Boy instructed after seeing her very terrible hand.
"Fold? That is good? I am victorious?" Star asked joyously, not understanding the concept. When the two Titans shook their heads she set her cards down sadly.
"Alright, I win," Terra said throwing her arms in the air, but before she could grab her prize somebody cut in.
"Ah-ah-ah," Cyborg interrupted as he placed his hands over hers. "How can you win if I've still got one card?" he asked as he, was holding up a single card. She then looked over to Robin and Blitz who still had a couple of cards left. "Come on, girl, you know you want to play me for it," Cyborg said shaking his eyebrow up and down, "One last round, winner take all!"
"I'm down," Blitz said coolly leaning back in his seat. His mind already calculated every possible move.
"Alright then," Terra said, "Let's do this."
"Hurricane," Robin began the round placing a card with cyclone on it, "Beat that," Boy Wonder said victoriously. Terra looked dumbstruck as she looked at her hand and back to the pile, while the other players 'Ooohed'.
"That was short lived," Terra said as she placed her cards down. Noticing her upset face Beast Boy transformed into a kitten and leapt into her lap and meow. "Aww, Beast Boy," Terra giggled picking up the green cat, "You always know how to cheer up."
"Well okay," Cyborg said bringing the attention back to the game.
"BOO-YAH," he hollered slamming his last card down revealing it to be….
"Meteor?" Robin exclaimed while Raven and Starfire gasped. The latter looked to Blitz who still sat in his seat, expression never changing.
'He just lost and his not upset?' Raven thought with a raised eyebrow, 'Then again it's just a card game. Maybe he's not letting it get to him.' Raven couldn't help smile a little about that, 'It just shows how mature he is.'
'It could also mean that he has a plan,' Logic cut in, 'A strategy of some sort.'
Raven couldn't argue with that.
"The one in million wild card that beats all others," Terra said in shock as Beast Boy, who was still in kitten form, jaw dropped.
Cyborg just looked smug as he began a victory dance, "Aw yea baby who's invincible now, that's right I am," he went to take the cards when a familiar quarterstaff came in clonk his hand. "Ow."
"The the game not over yet my large metal friend," Blitz said calmly as he retracted and holstered his staff and pulled out one card.
"Man there's no way you're going to win," Cyborg said rubbing his sore hand, "Unless you have….." he trailed off as Blitz placed one card on top of the meteor. "NO WAY," the cybernetic teen yelled as the card revealed to be…
"BLACK HOLE?!" the Titans exclaimed together as they got a good look at the card. Blitz stood up and calmly straightened out his coat.
"The most secret-super-ultra-rarest card in existence," Beast Boy said in shock reverting back to his human form with stars in his eyes.
"Now I believe I have won the right to do this," Blitz said calmly…before doing his own victory dance like a little kid, while the stunned Titans just stared. "Who's invincible now bitches," Blitz said dancing beside a shock Cyborg, "That,s right me motherfucker."
Raven rolled her eyes as she watch the boy, 'Scratch the mature part. But I don't mind seeing him like this happy though.' Since Raven is an empath she can feel other people's emotions, and sometime she can become affected by it. Raven let out a quiet sigh of contempt as she felt Blitzkrieg's happiness wash through her, but this time it felt different. It felt more…filling? More influential? She had to fight hard not to let loose a giggle along with Happy who was rolling on the floor of Nevermore laughing non-stop at both the Blitz's happiness and the ridiculous dance that he was doing.
Before she lost control and began laughing like the Mad Hatter. Blitz, Robin, and Beast Boy disappeared in a flash of white light leaving confused comrades.
"Huh?" Cy asked in confusion as he looked around, only to disappear in a white flash as well.
"This part of the game?" Starfire asked.
"Uh…" Raven returned shrugging her shoulders.
"So… round two?" Terra asked rubbing the back of her head.
Robin, Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Blitz suddenly appeared within a large atrium-like room. The room had a very good view of the starry night sky, if you don't mind staring at the roof the whole time. In the center of the room was an incline area, which overlooked the entire room.
Another flash and group notice that Aqualad, Gizmo, and four other teenage males had appeared as well. Everyone looked around just as confused as the next guy.
"Welcome, champions all!" a voiced boomed causing everybody to turn to the noise.
They saw a humanoid figure built like a Mac-truck. He had gold bands on his biceps, wrists, and shins, a pleated black and dark gold loincloth, which was held up by a belt that was the same color as his bands. His fur was white while his chest, face, and neck were gray. What disturbed most of the teens were the figure's chrisom eyes that seemed to stare at them like a predator. Around his neck was a ruby gem that was held in place by a simple black band. "I am the Master of Games, and you are hereby invited to compete in the Tournament of Heroes!"
'I have a bad feeling about this,' Light said, 'He's giving off a strange aura.'
'I know what you mean,' Blitz commented as he too felt uncomfortable around the tournament's host, 'we'll keep an eye on him, but this could just be a game like he said.'
'Or it could be a way for him to accomplish his plan, whatever his plan is,' Light chided, 'All inter-dimensional beings and objects have rules that they have to abide by or price that they have to pay. And from the vibes I'm getting, I think that jewel of his is the source of his power.'
"The Tournament of Heroes, a friendly competition between the world's greatest young champions," The Master of Gamesannounced as the jewel around his neck glowed white, and began showing clips of the different champions with him narrating.
"Robin - the combat-equipped, kung-fu-trained one-man army," he announced as a clip of Robin doing a back flipping on a city skyline behind him. Robin then threw a bunch of disk, which exploded before he launched himself through the smoke with kick aimed at the camera.
"Hot Spot – a human flamethrower with a fiery temper to match," he announced as a clip of a teen, who wore a black uniform with red trims and had skin made of fire, throwing a barrage of fireballs towards the camera.
"Cyborg – the high-tech teen fighting machine," he announced as Cyborg's arm appeared and transformed into his sonic cannon. He then swept his cannon around, while firing, before jumping at the camera and throwing hard right hook.
"Aqualad – a water-breathing telepath with mastery over surf and sea," he announced as a clip of Aqualad swimming in the deep like a bullet, before using his telepathy powers to summon a pair of whales displayed on the screen.
"Wildebeast – four hundred pounds of primal heroic fury," he announced as the hero Wildebeest turned out to be the biggest out of all of them, with his head resembling that of a wildebeest with a thick black mane going down his neck. He was wearing black and blue armor with metal plates around his neck and waist. Wildebeest appeared on screen wearing, lifting a car over his head on a city street before throwing it.
"Gizmo – the nasty little boy, with the really big brain," he announced as a clip of Gizmo leaned in with his spider legs, and pair of laser blasters extending from his belt before firing.
"Beast Boy – a quick-witted changeling who can turn into any animal," he announced as Beast Boy transformed into a fierce-looking tiger before lunging at the screen.
"Speedy – the agile archer with an unstoppable arsenal of energy arrows," he announced as a clip of the showed a teen that looked a lot like Robin shooting a giant robot with his arrows. Speedy had short red-blond hair, and he wore a sleeveless red tunic marked with an S over his heart. He had yellow wrist guards, pants, boots, and belt on his waist, with a quiver on his back.
"Static–the human transformer who will put a shock to your systems," he announced, as a clip showed a young African-American boy that wore a white t-shirt with a black lightning bolt in a circle with black pants and combat boots, over which he had a blue trench coat with yellow lining on the inside. On his face he had a white domino mask with yellow goggles resting on his forehead, he also had black armored gloves on. In the clip it showed Static using his powers to throw a car at the screen.
"And Blitzkrieg –a powerhouse teen with the power of a Nine-tail fox at his fingertips," he announced, a clip of the teen surrounded by robots that look an awful lot like Slade's metal minions. The video showed Blitz, with his hood and mask up, looking left and right before spun around forming a cyclone of onyx fire and lightening. When he stopped his rotation, the robots were melted into the ground a few of them sparked ever so often. Blitz just straightens out his trench coat before walking towards the camera hands in his pockets.
The next moment there was another flash of light, the teens finding themselves back in the atrium-like room and facing the Master of Games once more.
"Ten brave and worthy champions, but only one shall win," The Master of Games finished.
"So…" Beast Boy said with wide eyes that were full of hope. "Does the winner get some kind of really cool prize, like… maybe… oh, I don't know… a moped?" he asked as began fantasying him and Terra driving through the streets of Paris on a moped.
"I have no moped, shape-shifter," the Master of Games answered bursting Beast Boy's fantasy. "But rest assured. When the Tournament is complete, there will be magnificent prizes. And, of course, the winner shall prove that he is the greatest young hero on Earth. However, any who do not wish to compete need only say the word, and I shall return you home at once," he said reassuringly, the jewel around his neck glowing.
The hero's (and one villain) gathered around and began discussing the proposition, "Looks like we're in – all of us," Robin announced stepping forward.
The Master of Games had a predatory grin on his lips, which was missed by all except one.
'Suspicious…' Light said making Blitz nodded.
'Agree.'
"The challenge is accepted. The Tournament begins! Prepare for competition!" the Master of Games announced as his jewel glowed, which was promptly followed by a white flash that transported him elsewhere leveling the Hero's and one villain alone.
Beast Boy walked towards Aqualad and gave him a high-five, "Aquadude! What's up?" the changeling asked thumping the Honorary Titan chest. "Ready to watch me claim all those prizes?"
"No," Aqualad scoffed. "But, after I win, I promise to let you have my autograph." Blitz came up held up a hand, "I'm Blitzkrieg we didn't get a chance to meet before."
"Aqualad," Aqualad introduce shaking the out stretched hand, "So how's Raven?"
Blitzkrieg fox ear flicked in annoyance, "Fine. Why?" he asked with narrow eyes.
"Just wondering if she single right now," Aqualad stated simply, "I was thinking about asking her out after I win the tournament."
'That's it. He's mine,' Blitz thought as the temperature in the room began to rise. Beast Boy thought he saw a white aura with black trim surrounding Blitz, and if he looked closely he could see a demonic fox head with glowing red eyes and its teeth bared at Aqualad.
'Wipe him out,' Brave cheered.
'Nail is ass to the wall,' Fury growled.
Beast Boy gulped and began praying for the poor water dweller. 'I kinda feel sorry of Aqualad. I hope that he doesn't fight Blitz, because he is so toast.'
"Hey, what's he doing here?" Cyborg called out pointing at Gizmo, "He's no hero! I thought this was a Tournament of-"
"What's the matter, Robo-Wimp?" Gizmo sneered, cutting Cyborg off. "Afraid I'll kick your stinking can?"
"Just try it!" Cy growled back as red laser beams striking between their faces.
Next to them Hotspot sniffed the air and gagged. "What's that sme-" he asked before he found Wildebeest grumbled something menacing at him. "Oh," he said nervously. The larger hero snorted, causing the flame teen to sweatdrop.
On the other side of room Robin and Speedy were circling around each other
"Speedy. I've heard you're good- real good," Robin said shaking Speedy's hand.
"Robin. Likewise. Great to finally meet you," Speedy said returning the sentiment.
"So, what are those arrows made of?" Boy Wonder asked pointing at the quiver.
"Polarized matrices of high-energy electrons," he said pulling one out, which Robin gazed at eagerly.
"Right. Same technology that packs the punch in my electric discs," Robin said pulling out one of his. "How do you overcome the quantum-entanglement problem?"
"Whoa dude," Beast Boy said to Cyborg as they watch the two teens, "Never knew Robin had a clone."
"Long time no see Robin," Static said patting the Boy Wonder on the back, "Like your new do' man."
"Thanks," Robin said running a hand through his head, "Thought I could use a new look."
"You still look like a traffic light though," Blitz snickered causing a tick mark to appear on Robin's head. Static turned his head to face the fox titan.
"Yo! Blitzkrieg," he called out startling the hero slightly, "You're like my inspiration man. It's great to finally meet you."
"I am? You are?" Blitz said with confusion.
"Yea, in fact you were the one where I got the idea to for this," Static reached into his grey utility belt and pulled out a small piece of silver Mylar, before zapping it making enlarged in a disk shape, and float above the air.
"Oh well I'm glad I was able to inspire you then," Blitz said clearly shocked. He couldn't help but feel warm with pride thinking that he managed to inspire an upcoming hero. Although even if he wasn't here he knew that Static would still find and alterative way to travel.
"Champions!" The Master of Games called out drawing everyone's attention to him, "Let's-"
"I got a quick question," Blitz shouted out catching the Master's attention.
"Yes Champion?" The Master of Games said curiously.
"Do we have to hold back or can we go all out without harming or killing our opponents?" Blitz asked.
"You may fight without limitations," The MoG answered, "The ones that are defeated will be healed of wounds that they have sustained. Any other questions?"
Blitz looked at Aqualad with psychotic grin, "None at all," he chuckled as he pulled up his mask and hood. Beast Boy began praying for the Titan.
"Very well then. Let's begin Round one! Champions, face your opponents!" The next moment a flash of light erupted taking the champions away.
"Cyborg versus Gizmo!"
"Robin versus Hot Spot"
"Aqualad versus Blitzkrieg!"
"Wildebeest versus Beast Boy!"
"Speedy versus Static!"
"Let the contest… begin!" he announced as the ten heroes were scattered in pairs.
Aqualad vs. Blitzkrieg
FIGHT!
Blitz found himself zapped on a stone platform, one of several that created a circle, located in a large body of water. In a yellow flash Blitz looked at the water to see Aqualad stick his head out of the water.
"You might want to give up now," Aqualad spoke; Blitz just crossed his arms and cocked his head to the side.
"Oh and what makes you say that?" he asked in an amused tone smiling behind his mask.
"I know you weakness," Aqualad shot a water ball at Blitz soaking him to the bone, "Now you can't use your powers, and your nowhere near as fast as I am since I'm surrounded by my element, so your martial arts is out of the question, and you can't beat me in strength either." He said cockily believing to have won the match before it even started.
Blitz just chuckled causing the Honorary Titan to cock his eyebrow, "What's so funny?" he asked.
"You," Blitz said uncrossing his arms, "You're seriously underestimating me. Didn't you hear the Master of Games when he introduced me?"
[Fight Theme: Mortal Combat Theme song]
Blitz brought his right arm out and turned on his holographic computer turning on his built in music player, as steam began rising from his body as he used his inner fire to dry him off. "I have the power of a Nine-tail fox at my finger tips," he said turning off his computer as the Mortal Combat Theme Song began playing through unseen speakers. "Now then," Blitz said as his arms were engulfed in flames, "Let's dance." The music began reaching it peak, while his grappling hooks came out and were lit on fire.
MORTAL COMBAT!
Aqualad's eyes widen at the realization that Blitz had a few tricks up his sleeves, he quickly dodge the black-fire whips that were flicked at him. Diving deep the Atlantian came up with a plan, hoping to end this fight quickly before Blitz could do some real harm. After all Blitz mobility was limited to the stone platforms unlike Aqualad who had the whole body of water to work with.
Shooting out of the water Aqualad aim to drag Blitz to the deep and let him drown, but that plan was shot as soon as the platform that Blitzkrieg was standing on as, well as all the others, rose quickly. Aqualad face planted on the stone pillar with the foxy Titian laughing at his misfortune, Blitz quickly stood up and was caught off guard as multiple pillars of water shot up around him. Each one having a silhouette of his opponent's, Blitz tried to find the real one, but was punched in the face by Aqualad's right hook. Flying off the pillar Blitz shot one grappling hook to another pillar, while shooting the other at Aqualad tying him up.
As Blitz swung around and landed on another pillar, he took the other hook that was connected with the Atlantian and flung him into another pillar making it collapse in a puff of dust and debris. With a groan Aqualad was hoisted in the air and was met Blitz face to face.
"Yo," he said kicking the teen hero into the air. Blitz jump up in the air after him and disappeared, and reappeared in front of the ascending Titan and kneed him in the gut. Aqualad feel from the force of the impact quickly losing sight of Blitz, only for him to show up from behind to elbow the Honorary Titan to the side.
"You're probably wondering," Blitz said reappearing and kicking Aqualad into the air again, "if I'm teleporting. Well let me set you mind at ease." Aqualad called up a wave of water to whisk him away to a nearby pillar gathering as much water around him as he can. "I'm not," Blitz said from above him a ball of fire in his hands. If Aqualad looked closely he would have seen and seven tail fox barely glowing on Blitz's chest, "I'm just that fast."
The ball of flames in Blitz's hand grew as he held it in above him. The fire ball flatten and took the shape of a giant throwing star, "Fox Fire Style: Rasenshuriken"he called out throwing his attack as Aqualad pulled as much water has he could in front of him in a protective shell just before the flaming shuriken hit causing the entire area to be covered in smoke and steam.
'Why are do you steal the names of attacks and abilities from animes?' Light asked with an amused tone.
'I can't help it if all the good names are already taken,' Blitz said as the smoke began to clear, 'besides it helps me remember all of the attacks that I have.'
'I'm going to laugh when you get sued.'
As the smoke cleared Blitz could see a second degreed burned Aqualad wobbling around.
FINSH HIM
Blitz landed in front of Aqualad and flicked him on the nose causing him to shoot into the next pillar making it crumble and collapse.
FLICK-FATALITY
"Winner… Blitz!" the Master of Games announced as a lighten bolt struck Aqualad making him disappear.
"*Tsh* I didn't get a chance to go all out," Blitz said as the seven tail fox on his chest became a nine tail fox before disappearing.
'That's what you get for trying to take our mate,' Fury yelled out.
'She's not my mate,' Blitz yelled back embarrassed, 'we haven't even bonded yet.'
'But you have started to bond to each other though,' Light chimed in from Blitz's mind, a smirk lined her face.
'We have?' Blitz asked curiously.
Light nodded, 'Yep, since you visited Nevermore the first time,' Light then materialized a cup of tea for herself before continuing, 'Man the clan is going to flip when they find out that your mate is Rachel.'
'SHE'S NOT MY MATE!' Blitz shouted back before continuing softly, 'And what do you mean they're going to flip?'
'But you want her to be don't your mate though don't you,' Light said smirking as she sipped on her tea.
'….'
'That's what I thought, as for the clan you know that we use to be at war with the demons of hell right.' Blitz nodded, 'And for you to mate with….'
'She's not my mate,' Blitz said again with finality making Light roll her eyes.
'…bonding with Raven, who is Trigon's daughter, how do you think they're going to react to that? You know, now that I think about it, since she's Trigon's daughter that makes her like a princess or something you know that right? I mean Trigon is one of the Lords of Hell right, which practically makes her royalty.'
'Huh I guess you're right.'
'You they will be coming soon, it is that time you know. And no you can't escape it even though you just recently joined the clan.'
Blitz let out a sigh thinking of them coming and starting trouble, 'I rather not think of what is to come right now. So we'll continue this discussion later.' Blitz said before he was whisked away the same manner that Aqualad was. And found himself back in the main room surrounded by the winners of the first round; Cyborg, Robin, Speedy, Wildebeast, and himself.
"Speedy! All right, you won!" Robin whooped giving the archer a high-five.
"Yea, but Beast Boy didn't," Cyborg said sad that his friend didn't make it past the first round.
"Well played, young champions. You have survived Round One," the Master of Games announced as he flashed in.
"Survived? What happened to the losers?" Robin demanded while Blitz gave a glare.
"Yeah. Where's our friend?" Cyborg demanded getting angry.
"Peace, heroes," the Master of Games chuckled. "Survived is merely… an expression. Beast Boy and the other losers have returned home safely," he said, causing Robin to nod his head to Cyborg while Blitz narrowed his eyes if that was possible. "But think not of the vanquished, my champions. Now you must rest, for tomorrow you face… Round Two!" he announced as a flash of light took the five heroes out of the room, leaving only himself, a smile pulling at his face. "Oh, what a marvelous game. No matter who is victorious. I win all the prizes," he said as his gem gleamed, muffled voices crying out for help.
That night, after everyone had eaten and went to bed, Cyborg went to Robin's room and knocked on the door, "Yo Robin it me. Open up."
The door slid open to reveal an obviously tired Robin, and for once his hair was not slick back. With a yawn Robin said, "Cyborg? Its late," the Boy Wonder stuck his head out of his room and looked up and down the hall, "and I don't think we're supposed to be out of…"
"Can't sleep," Cyborg said cutting Robin off, "I tried calling home to make sure Beast Boy's okay…." The robotic teen held up his arm which showed the words BUSY in red while giving the busy tone. "….but I can't get a signal through."
Robin sleepily glared at Cyborg, "We're in an alternate dimension. Kind of outside your calling plan." The Boy Wonder held up his hand to cut Cyborg's next sentence off, "I'm sure he's fine. The Master said that all the losers were sent home safe and sound."
"Yeah, I know," Cyborg said making sure to keep his voice down as to not be overheard, "But I've just got a bad feeling. There's something weird with this game."
"I guess it couldn't hurt to look around," Robin said all tiredness wiped away, and somehow his hair went back to its spiky form. Robin stepped out of his room before stopping his eyes widen with realization. "Hold on." he said his head did a complete 180 so he could glare at his teammate, "I know what you're doing."
The cybernetic part of Cyborg's head turned into a question mark, "What I'm I doing?" he asked confused.
"You're trying to trick me," Robin said pointing an accusing finger, "Like you did with the card game."
"I am?" Cyborg said getting even more confused.
"Sure," Robin said before explaining Cyborg's 'plan', "We'll go 'investigate' and be up all night and find nothing. Then you'll recharge your batteries in 15 minutes while I get no sleep."
"SAY WHAT," Cyborg yelled incredulously.
"When round 2 starts, I'll be fighting fatigue and you'll be that closer to winning the prize," Robin finished explaining Cyborg's evil plan.
"No, man," Cyborg said trying to ease Robin misplaced thoughts, "For real, I'm worried about BB."
"Right then, where's Blitzkrieg? Why isn't he with you?" Robin asked with arms crossed.
"Man you know what happen last time we tried to get him up in the middle of the night," Cyborg said point a finger at Robin.
[Flashback]
"Yo, B-man wake up," Cyborg yelled out as he, Robin, and Beast Boy stood in front of Blitz's door, "Were going to a party downtown. Wanna come?"
The trio stood there a waiting for a reply that won't come.
"Is he asleep already?" Robin asked looking at the time on his communicator.
"Dude, it's like, nine pm," Beast Boy said tapping his foot.
"Maybe we should go without him," Cyborg said stepping away from the door.
"Or maybe we need to knock a little louder," Beast Boy said before banging on the door, "GET UP MAN IT'S TIME TO PARTY"
The door to Blitzkrieg's room opened up showing nothing but darkness.
"About time you open-" Beast Boy began only to nailed against the wall by a bunch of kunai
"Shut up, and go away." A demonic voice said from inside before the door slid closed slowly.
"Uh…mental note never wake Blitz up," Beast Boy said as he Cyborg, and Robin nodded as they too were nailed to the wall.
The door next to them slide open and a very irked Raven came out. Raven glared at them before looking at the throwing knives that held them to the wall. "Well I was going to tell you guys off about yelling in the middle of the night," Raven said as she smirked, "But I think Blitz made his point." Inwardly Happy giggled at the pun. Turning around she headed towards her room Beast Boy yelled out, "Wait Raven aren't you going to help?"
The mage looked at them before waving her hands causing a black band to appear over the boy's mouth silencing their cries.
"There we go," Raven said going to her room, "Had to get my revenge too."
"Don't worry," she said to the freaked out trio, "I'll let you guys loose…..eventually."
"Good point," Robin said remembering that night, "But I still won't fall for your trick."
Cyborg let out an irritated sigh, "Come on man winning isn't-" he said before getting cut off by Robin shutting the door.
"Right," he said before locking the door.
"Crazy, paranoid, hyper-competitive, spiky-haired, little…"Cyborg grumbled as he made his way down the hallway, his flashlight lighting his way. 'Maybe I should get Blitz, at least he has a clearer head than hair-gel boy.' Cyborg thought before picking up a familiar sound from behind.
Cutting off his light Cyborg hid in the shadows as a being with four metallic spider legs walked by.
"Gizmo?" Cyborg said after the being past him disconnecting his right hand and turning it into a spy-bot he quietly followed 'Gizmo' until he reached the main room. Enhancing his spy hand's optic camera, Cyborg got a good look at 'Gizmo' who actually turned out to be The Master of Games.
"Magnificent," The Master of Games said lowering himself to the floor, "Absolutely magnificent prizes. Gizmo, Hot Spot, Aqualad, Static, Beast Boy." The Master said as he used all of his new found powers. "Now that the vanquished are in my possession," he said examine his gorilla arms, "their powers are mine to command!"
"I can scarcely wait to see what I win in round two," Master of Games said getting excited just thinking about having the power of the remaining champions.
"There's not gonna be a round two," Cyborg said as his hand came back and reattached, "Game. Over."
The Master of Games turns to look at the cybernetic teenage hero, "The game is never over young champion. But I'm afraid that you are disqualified!" he yelled out as his head glowed like Hot Spot before smashing the ground causing earth spikes to shoot out throwing Cyborg on his back. Cyborg then jump up quickly to avoid a fire ball, now back on his feet he transformed his arm into a sonic cannon and fired at the Master of Game's gem.
The Master just laughed as his gem sucked Cyborg in using the sonic beam as a medium, and trapped him with the rest of the losers. "Never challenge the master," The Master of Games said dispelling the rest of his abilities and changing his right arm into Cy's sonic cannon, "I always win."
"Hmmm," The Master began thinking out loud, "I think I should accelerate the tournament. Don't want the more powerful hero's finding out my plans are and causing some serious problems," he said.
Meanwhile back the Titans Tower the girls were in the OPS room. Starfire was sitting next to a red phone with the Titans emblem on it, and Terra was sitting on the couch next to Raven who was…knitting?
"You know how to knit?" Terra asked in shock.
"Yes," Raven monotone, "Why is that surprising?" Of course Raven knew had to knit how else was she suppose to get her spare cloaks. It was also another form of meditation for her, and she needed to mediate.
Bad.
Especially now since Blitz sudden disappearance had nearly caused her to have panic attack as her negative emotions, like Timid, began to rise and nearly taking control of her. 'Damn it why does Sean affect me like this.' Raven thought as she continued to knit, 'After everything I've tried to keep him away, I can't stop thinking about him. I can't stop him from working his way into my heart. Damn him this is all his fault. Stupid, handsome, good for nothing, fox boy.'
"You just seem the knitting type," Terra said as she watched the mage knit with fascination. 'I wonder if she'll teach me how to knit. So I can make something for Beast Boy.'
"So whatcha making?" the earth user asked.
Raven stopped her knitting, 'What am I making?'
"Is it a sweater for Blitzkrieg?" Terra said slyly.
Raven stood up and said, "I'm going to meditate," and floated to her room.
"She got it bad," Terra said watching the retreating mage. 'I can't believe I lost to her.'
"What does Raven have friend Terra?" Starfire said finally turning away from the telephone.
"Nothing Star," Terra said laying down on the couch. 'But then again I didn't have much of chance with Blitz anyway. He was already in love with her, besides BB is way better the Blitz.'
"Good luck today. May the best man win," Speedy said as the rest of the champions gathered in the main room preparing for the next round. Wildebeest snorted at the archer's greeting, "Sorry. May the best… champion win," Speedy corrected, not wanting to offend his potential opponent, the giant teen nodded that said, 'Better'.
"Ready for me to kick your ass Blitzkrieg?" Robin said smugly to the fox Titan.
'Cocky little shit ain't he?' Light said with a slight southern accent, 'Let's show him his place.'
"Don't make the same mistake Aqualad made Robin," Blitz said coolly, "I haven't been back that long, so you haven't seen all of my tricks just yet."
"We'll see about that," Robin said arrogantly before looking around, "Where's Cyborg? It's not like him to be late."
"Cyborg will not be joining us," the Master of Games called out gaining everyone's attention, "Your friend has been disqualified for attempting to sabotage his fellow champions."
"He should have played fair," Robin said with a chuckled as he shook his head to the side.
'Cyborg wouldn't do that,' Blitz thought as he looked at the Master with narrow eyes, 'Something's not right here.'
"In light of this we shall directly precede to the final round," the Master of Games said throwing his arms out as his pendant flashed taking the champions to their arena.
"Robin vs. Speedy vs. Wildebeast vs. Blitzkrieg! In a 4-man fight to the finish."
"Let the contest… begin!"
The battlefield for the final fight was station in the middle of space over a light-gray moon that orbited a purple Saturn like planet.
Robin started the final fight when he ran towards Wildebeast aiming a kick at the hero's face, only to be grabbed and flung to the side nearly making the Boy Wonder fall off the edge.
Speedy fired off a few arrows at Blitz and Wildebeast, while latter snatched out of the air and flicked the explosive ended away, the former took the shot head on and not even flinching before he charged at domino masked teens.
The duo charged at Wildebeast throwing and firing their disc and arrow, receptively, this did nothing to stop him. Robin flipped over Wildebeast getting at a safe distance while Speedy fired three arrows. The arrows proved to be ineffective against Wlidebeast's hide as they just bounced off. Speedy ready another arrow, but before he could aim and shot Robin came up from behind him and pushed off against Speedy's chest. Robin flew through the air and grabbed on Wildebeast antlers and slammed him to the ground, sliding past the archer, "Thanks Robin," he said.
"Don't thank me yet," the Boy Wonder said pointing at Speedy's feet. The archer looked down to see one of Robin's ice discs. The disc activated and froze the ground beneath Speedy causing him to slip and fall, "We are playing to win aren't we?" Robin said not noticing Wildebeast sneaking up behind him. Before Wildebeast could grab Robin, Blitz landed in front of Robin scaring the day lights out of him. "Hope you didn't forget about me," he said grabbing a fist full of Robin's uniform and slung him at Speedy who just got back up only to be land on his back again, only this time with Robin on top of him. Blitz turned around and kicked Wildebeast in jaw making him stumble backwards.
"FALCON PUNCH," Blitz roared out punching Wildebeast in stomach. The teen hero gasp for breath while Blitz flipped over him, grabbed his shoulders, and using all of his strength Blitz slammed Wildebeast head first into the ground. Making him stick out of the ground like a plant, a very odd humanoid-plant.
Blitz turned to looked at the shocked Robin and Speedy, "Don't make this too easy for me boys," he said with a chuckle as Wildebeast was zapped out of the fight showing that he was down for the count. The ground beneath him began to crack and crumble away.
"Temporary truce," Robin said knowing that he couldn't take Blitz on by himself with his current armaments, since he couldn't go to the tower to resupply he was running low on everything. Speedy just nodded, "Truce," he said as the floating rock crumbled and broke.
As the hero's began to free fall to a crater below them, they each used their own grappling hook system to grab on a nearby descending rock. Robin began hopping from on rock to the next until he was on the same one as Blitz. The Boy Wonder pulled out his bo-staff while Blitz brought out his quarterstaff.
-CLANG-
A clanging noise echoed out as the two titans's battled it out with their respective staffs. "You've gotten better," Robin said as he blocked a horizontal swing from Blitz, "Maybe you can teach me a few things later."
"Thanks," Blitz growled as brought his staff to the side to block, "Does that mean you're admitting that I'm more skilled than you?" Blitz swung his staff around to meet Robin's staff. "No just saying that I can learn a few things after I beat you," Robin said parrying Blitz's strike before jumping away. Blitz heard a whistle in the air and turned around to smack Speedy's arrows away, "Working together to bring me down, and in the process tiring each other out for an easier takedown." Blitz said with a chuckle as he dodge a few bird-a-rangs, "Good plan, but you're going to have to better than that."
Blitz brought a few glowing kunai and flung them at the rock that Speedy had been using, a few moments after contact they exploded destroying the rock sending the archer into the air. Before Speedy could grab a hold onto another rock Blitz was right in front of him and delivered a right hook.
Robin then swung in and kicked Blitz to the side, "Jeez," Speedy said as he and Robin got on a falling rock, "who is this guy, Deathstroke's son?"
"Sure feels like it," Robin said as they watched Blitz landed on a bolder. Everybody stopped moving since they were closed the ground.
With a loud boom the falling rock landed covering the entire crater that the trio landed in dust. Nobody moved until all of the rocks had fallen and dust settled. Robin and Speedy had their weapons of choice out looking at Blitz who had his staff rested on his shoulders. Blitz did a flashy flourish before getting into a stance, "Ready," he said.
After a tensed moment Robin let loose a battle cry as he charged Blitz.
"Always on the move," Blitz muttered as he charged the Boy Wonder dodging left to right to avoid Speedy's energy arrows. As the charging hero's met Blitz jumped up and over Robin kicking him in the back of the head making him trip and fall. Blitz however landed and began running towards Speedy.
The archer's eye widen as began firing arrows at the advancing hero. Blitz easily smacked or dodged the incoming projectiles. When Blitz was in range he jumped up and readied his staff to slam down on the archer. Speedy blocked Blitz's attack with his bow surprising the Titan with the durability of the bow.
Blitz flipped in the air brought his foot down on the bow hoping to break it in half only for it to hold. Growling in frustration Blitz dropped to the ground and swept it with his staff Speedy easily jumped in the air firing his energy arrows. Blitz brought up his staff and spun it around blocking the arrows.
Suddenly Blitz felt his arms and torso freeze; he looked down to see that his entire upper body had been frozen.
"Hope you didn't forget about me," a voice said mockingly behind Blitz.
'SEAN DUCK,' Light yelled out a warning. Blitz ducked just in time to avoid Robin's flying kick.
"Wondering when you get back up, I worried that I knocked you too hard" Blitz said tauntingly to the Boy Wonder then he said to Light, 'Thanks for the save.'
'We fight together now. In mind and body…' Light said with affection as Blitz flared his inner fox fire shattering the ice that held him.
'….for now till the end of time,' Blitz said finishing the oath that the worriers from his clan take when they complete their training, when they truly became one with each other.
'Shall we take this up a notch?' Light asked her host
'Yes, lets,' Blitz said to his partner with a feral grin behind his mask.
"I got a bad feeling about this," Robin said as he saw Blitz change his stance, he thought he saw something on Blitz's chest glow.
"Dude, we should win this game just by taking him down," Speedy said as he notching three arrows on your bow, "I have a plan." Speedy quickly whispered his plan to Robin.
"You sure it will work?" the Boy Wonder asked as Blitz tense like he was ready to pounce.
"You got a better idea," Speedy said. Robin didn't say anything flung explosive discs around Blitz causing smoke and debris to cloud his eyesight. Robin ran forward flipping out his bo-staff and with all of his might he jumped and brought the staff down.
Robin heard a resounding thud as his staff made contact. With a grin of satisfaction Robin began making plans on how to deal with Speedy. "That's it?" Blitz said as the smoke clear showing that he had blocked Robin's bo-staff with two kunai in a X formation, "I'm a little disappointed," he said slicing the bo-staff and punched Robin to the side.
Speedy shot three arrows which Blitz easily dodge by rolling to the side, when he heard the arrows still whistling he turned around to see the arrows swinging around and coming back, "Heat Seekers!" he said in shock as he began running away.
He saw Robin and got an idea, quickly changing course he ran towards the Boy Wonder. Robin shook his head to rid himself of the drowsiness.
'When did he get this good? Was he always this good?' Robin asked himself as he got up not noticing Blitz making a bee-line for him, 'I can see why Slade would want him, but there something else. There a connection to those two and I have to find out what.'
"Heads up," Robin looked up to see Blitz running towards him. The Boy Wonder got into a defense stance ready for Blitz too…..leap frog over him. He thought he heard Blitzkrieg say "Lightening Strings plus Fire Tag" as he used jumped over him.
Robin looked behind him to see Blitz running on the side of the crater. "Huh?" he said before he looked in front of him as the arrows came towards him. Robin tried to roll to the side but found out that he couldn't. He quickly looked down to see blue lines sewn into his shoes sticking him into the ground.
'Shit,' he thought as he brought out an explosive disc hoping to blow his feet free, that's when he notice the two kunai that Blitz had used before were stuck to his chest the same way his feet were. On the ninja knives the kanji for fire burning on the handles, Robin looked up with a look of defeat. "Fu-"
-BOOM-
Robin was cut off when the three explosive arrows hit him and took him out of the fight.
Speedy watched in shock as his ally/opponent was taken out by friendly fire. Apparently somebody left it one.
"You both fought well," Blitz said from behind him. Speedy spun around and swung his bow at Blitz, only to have him to grab it and break it easily since it was already weakened by Blitzkrieg's earlier strikes.
"My bow," Speedy said as he watched his weapon fall in two pieces completely useless.
"If your timing was better your plan would have worked, to an extent," Blitz said, "but you didn't count on Robin's impulsiveness. Nor my new enhanced abilities," Blitz then reared his arm back and punched Speedy in the jaw. KO him in an instant ending the fight.
"Well done, Champion of Champions. Victory is yours," the Master of Games announced as the fox host found himself back in the atrium.
"So about that prize?" Blitz asked.
"I did say there would be prizes, young champion," the Master of Games said as he descended the dais steps. "However I did not say, that they were for you."
"What are you saying?" Blitz asked with a growl and narrowed eyes…well narrower.
"You may be the winner," the Master of Games said looking at Blitz at eye level while holding up amulet. "But the losers are mine to keep," he finished as multiple voices cried out in panic and anger.
Blitz's eyes widening as everything came together
'Called it,' Light yelled, 'I knew something was fishy about this guy and his sexiest game.'
'Not now,' Blitz snapped back.
"And with all their powers at my command, no one will defeat the Master of Games!" the Master said chuckling evilly as he rose up on Gizmo's spider legs, his right arm becoming Cyborg's while his left formed Beast Boy's gorilla arm, Wildebeest's horns sprouting from his forehead, his face becoming like Hotspot's a second later and Robin's belt forming around his waist over his own. "I am… invincible!"
'Damn it I should have seen this coming,' Blitz thought as he desperately tried to make a strategy, 'Maybe if I could somehow get the others free we could defeat him. But how to…..that's it!'
"Really? And how can you be invincible if you don't have me? The Champion of Champions?" Blitz asked confidently.
The Master of Games he lowered himself to Blitz' level, pacing around him on Gizmo's robotic legs studying him. "Hmmm… You are quite skilled," the Master mused to himself before he smile like a crazy mad man, "And if I have the power of the Nine-Tail Fox at my disposal I will truly be invincible."
"Then maybe, this game isn't over yet," Blitz smirked.
"Not yet," Master said.
"What do you say to one last round? Winner take all?" Blitz asked as he drew his quarterstaff. The Master of Games smiling rising to his full height.
Blitzkrieg Vs. The Master of Games!
Let the contest begin
The Master of Games began the fight by shooting white beams from his eyes.
"Who shoots beams from their eyes," Blitz said backpedaling while listing all of the hero's that had participated in the tournament, and going over their abilities. He quickly jumped in the air to avoid Cy's sonic cannon, only to dodge Speedy's arrows.
"Damn he's not letting me breath," Blitz said as he landed on the ground and began running. While blocking the oncoming arrows with his staff Blitz reached into belt and pulled a few glowing throwing stars, and quickly tossing them at the Master's face.
The stars exploded blinding the Master just long enough for Blitz to close in on him and kick square in the jaw. The Master went flying right into a pillar causing a fairly large crater to appear. The blow seemed to do little damage as The Master of Games sat up and cracked his jaw before spewing static charged water at Blitz.
The water mixed with static discharged stunned the Titan long enough for the evil villain to blast him fire enhanced sonic blast sending him flying into the wall making another crater. Just as Blitz was about to fall a grappling hook wrapped around him and flung him to another wall, and another, before slamming him into the ground.
"HAHAHA," The Master of Games crackled, "Never challenge the master," he said before throwing a giant fireball at the prone hero. "I always win."
"Not today," Blitz said as he swiped the fire away with his fox tail, his trench coat having been burned off.
'I may need to get that fireproofed,' Blitz made a mental note.
'It was already fireproofed,' Knowledge said.
'I need get it done again.'
'Sean, aim for the ruby,' Light called out, 'It might be our only shot, since it is the source of his power. If not we made need to use that.'
'I rather not use that or the other one.'
'You might not have a choice.'
With a groan Blitz got into a fighting stance, "You never learn do you," the Master said bringing both hands up.
"Well I'm one stubborn person," Blitz retorted pulling out his last kunai flipping it in a reversed grip.
The Master of Games was about to fire when he notice the air around him become increasing hot, which was weird because of Hot Spot's normal body temperature was higher than a normal human it shouldn't have bothered him. He looked at Blitz to see him surrounded by white and black aura as his nine tail fox tattoo on his chest began to glow. Slowly three tails joined with Blitzkrieg's one bumping up the count to four. "So this is the power of the Kitsune Clan," he said as a shiver ran down his spine, "And now that power is mine!" the Master yelled as his ruby pendant glowed and shot a red beam at Blitz.
In an instant Blitz sprinted forward and past The Master of Games at lightning speed dodging the beam, "That's it?" he said with a laugh appearing to have taken no damage what so ever, "All that and you MISSED!"
"I didn't miss," Blitz said as the three tails disappeared and his kunai shattered. Blitz fought to stay awake as he nearly collapsed. 'I didn't think that would tire me out this much.'
'Well you did have a pretty big fight before hand,' Light said as the ruby necklace glowed, 'but it seemed to have worked.'
In a flash Blitz was surrounded by Cyborg, Robin, and Speedy. "Told you there something weird about this game," Cyborg scolded Boy Wonder.
Robin ignored him and focused on Blitz who was panting heavily, "Blitzkrieg, are you all right?"
"Yea just give me a sec. to get my second wind," Blitz panted out as Light began trickling some of her natural energy into him, "Aim for his jewel that's how I got you guys out." He said taking a deep breath and got into a combat stance ready for the next round.
The Master of Games looked at his right arm which had turned back to normal, "Victory shall be mine!" he roared out as Cyborg charged his sonic cannon, and Speedy prepped an arrow. The Master roared as he charged the quad of hero's firing fire beams at them, while Cyborg and Blitz fired at him knocking him around.
Speedy just waited to take his shot as Master of Games was thrown around by Cy's and Blitz's shots. Finally he saw an opening and fired just as his arrow tip grew red hitting the gem, but it did not fully pierce the jewel.
"Time to end this," Blitz said as he jumps into the air and kicked Speedy's arrow so it fully went in.
"NOOOOOO!" he cried as a tremendous amount of light poured out from the stone, the inter-dimensional fell to the floor. When the light died out the rest heroes and Gizmo where released.
The Master of Games looked up at Blitzkrieg who had his arms crossed, "I lose," he said before disappearing in a flash of light and smoke, with the necklace falling to the floor at Blitz's feet.
"As far as I'm concerned, you're all honorary Titans," Robin said passing everyone a T-Comm.
"Cool!" Gizmo awed after getting his, only for Cyborg to snatch his out of his hand a moment later. "Yo, gimme that! You're not a good guy, remember?" he said with a smug grin.
"Scrum-buffing toe-jamming gunk-eater," Gizmo growled.
"I don't about you guys, but I need a shower," Blitz said tossing the amulet to Boy Wonder, "So how about we head home."
Robin simply held up the medallion.
"Well dudes, it's been fun," Beast Boy said stretching.
"And if you ever need us, you know how to reach us," Robin said as the gem began to glow.
"Right back at you," Speedy returned before the teen heroes disappeared in a bright flash leaving behind the Master of Game's necklace, which clattered to the floor. It began to glow by its own power. A few seconds later, ten more blasts of lightning and smoke appeared, Starfire, Raven, Terra, and seven other young women looking around at their new surroundings.
"Welcome, champions all!" a booming voice echoed from atop the dais. "I am the Master of Games, and you are all hereby invited to compete in the Tournament of Heroines!"
"Raven?"
"Yeah?"
"I have a bad feeling about this," Star muttered worrisome.
Meanwhile at Titan's Tower…
"Ugh," Blitz groaned as he, Robin, Cyborg, and Beast Boy found themselves back in the Ops Room, "I'm going to grab a power bar, followed by a shower, and nap." He said making his way out of the room.
"Where are the girls?" Robin asked looking around the room noticing that they were alone.
"Don't know," Blitz said not looking back, "I'll go check my room." When the doors of the room shut Beast Boy asked. "Why would they be in his room?" Cyborg just sighed before heading towards the computer, hoping to find a trace of the girls, while Robin grabbed Beast Boy so they could check the Tower.
As soon as the door closed to his room Blitz ripped off his flak jacket, under shirt, boots and socks before reaching into his night stand and pulled out an energy bar made specifically for him by his clan. Because they had high stamina and endurance hosts of nine-tail foxes they needed a high calorie and protein intake, and that's just what the energy bar does.
"I wish they could make it tastier," Blitz said popping the rest of the bar in his mouth and tossing the wrapper in the trash bin. He took a look around his room, which he had redecorated to mirror his ancestry. Oriental style objects littered the room; there was even a stand for two katanas.
Blitz got off his bed, "And now for that-" he began as he moved to removed his belt only to be cut off as he was zapped by a familiar bolt of energy.
"—shower," Blitz finished before pausing immediately noticing that he was not in his room. In fact he was very sure where he was.
Fixing his belt Blitz looked to the heavens, "OH HELL~ NA," he yelled out his southern accent bleeding through, "I'm not going through this shit again." He saw that The Master of Games floating in front of him.
"YOU!" they yelled at each other
"Blitz?!" a confused yet relived voice said from behind him. He turned around to Raven on the floor.
"Raven what…." Blitz said before getting a good look at Raven. The mage looked like she been through a war zone. Her cloak was ripped to shreds as well as her leotard, giving him a good view of her skin. That was not covered in light burns and scratches.
"You're going to pay," Blitz growled as the tattoo on his chest glowed keeping a rhythmic pulse. Slowly two of the tails on the nine-tail fox tattoo disappeared just as another tail appeared on Blitz's lower back making him a two tail.
"You took the words right out of my mouth," Master of Games said as he raised his hands forming a giant blue fire ball and threw it at the two Titans changing the area into ocean of flames. "I win, HAHAHA I always win," the Master crackled.
"Didn't you say that last time," Blitz said from behind him. The Master of Games spun around to Blitz standing on the inclined area, holding on to a blushing mage bridle style. "You okay?" he asked Raven not taking his eyes off The Master.
"Y-Yea," Raven said trying to calm down her emotions.
"How did you transport me here?" Blitz asked trying to piece together what had happen.
"I had…THE AMULENT!" Raven cried realizing that she no longer had the necklace, which she used to transport Blitz to the room.
"How did you…. you know what tell me later," Blitz said setting her down gently, "So who does he have?"
"Starfire, Terra, Artemis, Pantha, Wonder Girl, Supergirl, Argent, Zero, and Batgirl," Raven listed off. Blitz looked at Raven with an amazed and respective gaze.
"And you managed beat them, color me impressed."
Raven blushed again as she began to fidget as pride began to swell in her chest. "Well Argent wasn't all that hard, Terra almost gave me a run for my money, but Zero gave me the most trouble."
"You here that he's impressed by our skills," Brave whooped.
"Maybe he'll reward us," Love giggled perversely with Lust.
"I hope so too," Lust said drooling.
"I wonder if he'll give us something nice," Happy chirp completely unaware of what Love and Lust were talking about.
Raven just groaned, 'Why me?'
"My sister was here?" Blitz asked with a raised eyebrow as the Master found his necklace and put it on.
"Look I'll tell you everything later," Raven said as she began healing herself, "So why don't you use your resonation ability, and finish him off."
Blitz shook his head, "Can't. That ability only works on demonic entities, if I were to use on him it would be like using a gun with blanks, you get all the bells and whistles but in the end you're not hitting anything." Blitz cracked his neck to the left then to the right before punching his fist into this hand, "I'll just do this the old fashion way," he said as he was engulfed in his aura causing Raven to shudder.
'What is this feeling,' she thought as she felt lightening shot down her spine that shook her to the very core.
'I don't know,' Lust said as she and the other emotion-clones were sprawled out on Nevermore, 'But I want another shot of it.'
'I think it would be best if we go though that book that Sean's teacher gave us,' Logic said she got up with shaking feet, 'We know that Sean is causing this but we to know why.'
'A-a-a-agree,' Raven stammered biting her lower lip to keep a moan from escaping her lips. She quickly used all of her training at her disposal to calm her body's reaction down, which was proving difficult as Blitz aura flared even higher causing his hair band to snap making the star color hair to flow and ripple like water.
The Master of Games growled as he pulled a piece of the wall with Terra's power and threw it at Blitz and Raven. Blitz jump forward and punched the stone shattering it to a thousand pieces. He quickly brought back his other fist and punched the gem on the surprised MoG chest hopping to bring this fight to a quick finish.
Blitz only succeeded in bringing out one person that was trapped inside.
"Hello sister," Blitz said as he landed next to his sister who had tumbled to the ground after being ejected.
"Hello lil'bro," Zero said popping her knuckles, "What are you doing here?"
"I could ask you the same question," Blitz retorted.
The Master of Games roared as he fired Supergirl's laser beams while throwing Starfire's starbolts. The twins back flipped in perfect sync to safety.
"Save the family reunion for later," Blitz said to his sister as his arms were engulfed in lightening, and his nails grew longer and sharper.
"Fine by me," Zero said as blue flames danced around her arms, "Let's show him our power."
[Globus-Europa-instrumental version]
The twins charged the Master at high speeds who was firing Starfire's starbolts at a very high rate. When they were half way to him Zero jumped up into the air and landed on Blitz out stretched leg, he then flung Zero at MoG.
Slade's agent flipped in the air and kicked the Master collarbone, thanks to the heavy hitters that he captured the bone didn't shattered to a million pieces. Zero brought her foot and slammed it to the Master of Games's jaw she then brought both of her feet and kicked his chest launching herself away. Blitz jumped towards her and with his arms outstretched grabs his twin's hands. Zero used all of her strength and Blitz's momentum and flung her brother at their enemy. The Titan snapped his legs together and kicked the Master in the chest then swung his lower leg around and kick the side of his enemies head.
Blitz brought his foot back and kicked the Master of Games in the face from the left, right, up, down, and finished with a mid air stomp on his gem and pushed off. Once again the Master of Games found himself imbedded in the wall by Blitzkrieg.
In a flash Batgirl found herself in the arms of Blitz who was skidding backwards coming to a stop in front of Raven.
"Wow," Batgirl said admiring Blitz's physic, "Now this is what you call a prize."
Blitz just shook his head to clear the blush that was on his face, and set the girl down next to Raven, "Wait here we'll deal with this," he said evenly stepping next to his sister so they could get ready for round two.
"I WONT LOSE YOU AGAIN!" The Master of Games roared as he pushed off the wall shooting rock everywhere, his eyes glowing red before he shot a pair of ruby beams. Zero jumped in the air while Blitz slide on the ground nether of twins losing their momentum as they charged.
The siblings pulled out their respective staffs and fused them with fire for Zero and lightening with Blitzkrieg. The duo dragged their staffs so it created a burn trail behind them. Zero and Blitz crossed paths once to dodge starbolts, then again to avoid two giant red hands that tried to smash them into the ground.
They cross one more time, but this time to attack the MoG leaving a burn in the shape of an X on his chest.
Meanwhile Raven and Batgirl sat there and watched in awe, "Friends of yours?" Batgirl asked Raven as they ducked behind a boulder to avoid a pair of red beams that was shot in their general direction.
"Sort of…" Raven answered as she continued to heal herself.
Batgirl looked at her with a curios glance, "What do you mean sort of," she said remembering what Dick told her about his team.
"Well Se-Blitz is on the team and Zero is well…." The mage trailed off not knowing whether or not she should continue.
"This is for taken my sister," Blitz yelled out followed by a shockwave. The two heroines hissed watching the fight escalate.
"…yea," Raven finished, "It's complicated."
"No kidding," Batgirl said as there was another flash, "Especially with Robin having a hard-on for Slade." Raven looked at the bat-theme heroine, "You said it not me." The girls looked to see Blitz slid back this time with Argent and Supergirl draped over him in questionable positions.
"Hey hottie come here often," Supergirl flirted with a red Blitz.
"Are you single?" Agent asked rubbing Blitz's chest. Raven watched all of this while growling like an animal. Raven then became confused, 'Why did I just growl? Like an animal?'
Batgirl studied Raven then and put the two together. Getting up quickly she grabbed the two heroines. "Go I'll take care of things over here," She said Blitz who nodded and once he was free of his cargo launched back into battle.
"So who's that guy?" Argent asked pointed at Blitz who drove his knees into the back of the Master of Games. When he turned to retaliate Zero decked him across his jaw. "And where can I get his number?"
"He's Blitzkrieg one of the founding and current members of the Teen Titans," Batgirl answered before leaning in with Supergirl doing the same, while Raven just kept her eyes on the fox Titan. "And between you and me I think that he's already taken," Batgirl whispered pointing with her head and the mage.
"Damn it," Supergirl cursed, "All the good ones are always taken."
"So they're together?" Argent asked a little disappointed.
Batgirl shook her head, "I don't think so. From what I heard from Robin those two don't like to show their emotions that much and tend to keep to themselves."
"So they like each other, but are too shy to admit one another?" Supergirl said as a guess.
"That or they are in denial," the female bat-theme heroine said.
"Soooo he's single then," Argent murmured to herself.
Meanwhile the fight between Blitzkrieg, Zero, and the Master of Games had reached its climax.
The twins were breathing heavily ready to make a final assault.
"I don't know about you sis," Blitz said rolling his neck around, "But I'm but done with this game."
"I feel the same way lil'bro," Zero said punching her hands together.
"Let's go then," Blitz said as Zero jump in the air along with him. The fox twins grabbed each other's hand and began spinning around and around. The very air around them began to crackle and burn as fire and lightening began to form around the spinning duo. Soon the twins were spinning so fast that they became a typhoon of fire with lightening lashing out at random ripping the ground.
The rescued heroines had to retreat further away from the fight so they wouldn't get hit by the massive attack.
"Man, remind me not to get on their bad side," Supergirl said as she floated in the air above the group ready to swoop in and help were she can.
Suddenly the hurricane of fire and lightening split in two and sped forward toward the Master like a bullet. The Master of Games formed a wall of earth as the two bullet shaped objects got closer to him.
"ITS…." Zero called out as her and Blitz made contact with the earthen wall shattering it completely.
"OVER," Blitz yelled out as the power house twins struck the gem of the surprised Master.
The entire area was surrounded by a flash of white light as once again the Master of Games found himself surrounded by the ones he tired to capture and used. "I lose," he said as he found himself imbedded deep into the wall with blood coming out of his mouth, "How do I keep losing to you?"
"Because you fight for yourself, and for your selfish desires," Blitz said, "I fight for the ones that I love."
"I see," the Master said before he was zapped away.
"So," Terra said looking at Blitz, "Any particular reason why you're not wearing not wearing a shirt, and shoes?"
Blitz looked down at his bare chest, "I was about to take a shower before I was zapped." He then chuckled, "Good thing I didn't get zap while I was in the shower. Now that would be awkward."
"When did you get tattoos?" Raven asked pointing at nine-tail fox on his chest and the dragon around his arm. The mage had pulled up her hood so she could hide her blush.
"There not really tattoos, more like seals," Blitz answered.
Terra came up tapped Blitz's chest, "Well it's nice ink if you..." she trailed off seeing that Blitz and Zero glaring at each other.
"Raven," Blitz said reaching down and picking up the necklace, "Can you try and find a way to get us home without leaving this behind." He tossed the gem to the mage, "I rather not do this again."
"I'll try," Raven said catching the amulet, "It might take me a while though."
"That's okay," Blitz said his eyes never leaving his sister, "I have something I need to do first. Terra make a barrier around us I rather not be disturbed."
The geo-kinetic looked nervously to Blitzkrieg and Zero before to Raven, who just nodded, "Alright," she said before making a wall between the heroines and the two siblings.
After half an hour Raven finally found a way to get them home and keep the Master of Games from returning to start a new Tournament. "Okay I can get us home," Raven said walking to the group, "Are they done yet?" she asked pointing to the wall were the twins where they were talking.
At least, that is what they hope they were doing.
As to answer the mage's question the wall crumbled and fell to the floor. The champions looked up to see Blitz embracing his sister.
"Remember, there's always room for family," he said releasing Zero.
"I still think you should join us, but I'll keep your offer in mind," Zero said roughly, "I still don't believe the things you said about our father though and if our father tells me to capture you then…."
"I wouldn't expect anything less," Blitz finished as he and Zero joined the others, "Ready?"
Raven nodded as he took his place by her side. She wanted to ask what they talked about but decided against it.
"Well last time Robin handed out commentators and made everyone Honorary Titans," Blitz said as Raven held up the ruby necklace, "I don't have any spare communicator but you can consider self Honorary Titans."
"If you're in trouble," Terra said.
"You know who to call," Starfire said as Raven held up the gem and transported everybody back in a flash of light.
One shower and one cup of tea later Raven sat on her bed with the book that Sakura gave to her. With a sigh she opened up and began scrolling through the table of contents until she found a general area to look for.
'I guess I'll start with power and abilities section and go from there,' Raven thought as she flicked to the chapter in question. When she found the spot she was looking for she began skimming for anything that could explain the aura that Sean protruded, and why it affected her like the way it.
'You have to admit that you liked it,' Lust said huskily, 'In fact you probably won't find anybody in Nevermore who didn't like it. In fact I think even Rage liked it.'
'Can you go away I'm trying to do something important here,' Raven said to her perverse emotion-clone.
'As you wish,' Lust said but before she left she said, 'Page 132, third paragraph from the bottom.'
'What?' Rachel questioned the clone, but didn't get a response from the emotion. So following the directions she turned to the corresponding page and read the section that was pointed out.
"All Kitsune host have an aura that powers all of their abilities. The most common of these abilities is the use and control of lightening and fire, or commonly known as fox fire. The host can also create illusions as well other abilities with this aura, but unlike fox fire these abilities depend on the aura level that the host have. Usually only a two tailed host can perform a basic illusion. To tell what level a host is simply look at the number of tails a host has another. Normally the number tails shown is usually shows the power level and age, but in rare cases it doesn't. In those cases only the Kitsune living in the host know the true power of their vessel, since all Kitsune hosts have the tail and ears."
Raven looked up from reading and thought about how many tails Sean has, 'I know he has one, but when he did his resonation ability he had three tails.'
'Maybe because of being sealed for so long might have disrupted something,' Logic said which made since.
Raven nodded and went back to reading.
"The host can use this aura to also affect the area and people around them…."
'Ah here what I wanted,' Raven thought victoriously.
"…It can calm animals and allow the host to interact with them, it is unknown whether it is because of the Nine-tail fox spirit inside of them or union with the host that causes this. The host can also 'Flare' their aura, which is when they push outward with their aura. The telltale signs is the rise of temperature in the area around the host or a flame surrounding them, the color varies from host to host. Now this can many affects to the people around them, but the two main ones are; intimidation to their foes, or sometimes pleasure to the host's bond partner, or mate. (See bonding pg 254)"
The book slipped from Raven's grasp, a look of shock on her face. "No…way," she said breathlessly, "We can't have bonded." Raven's shock quickly grew to anger.
"Did he do something to me against my will," she growled as objects around her room began to shake due to the run off of her magic. "How dare he! Why would he do something like that to me? I thought I could trust him!"
'Rachel, you know Sean wouldn't do something like that,' Logic cut in, 'Let's go to the bonding chapter and see.'
Raven took a deep breath quickly gaining control over her power again. Once her head was cleared she began thinking clearly, and Logic was right. In the shock she completely lost her head.
Picking up the book once again she turned to the chapter on bonding.
"Members of the Kitsune Clan form many types of bonds with each other many with family and comrades, but the most profound bond are the ones that they share with their mate and children. In order to find a good mate amongst the members of the opposite sex, the Kitsune Host would spend untold amount of time with members of the clan to find the right one. As with many mystical aspects of the Kitsune Clan, it is unknown how the process begins or what is even required to begin, but it is known for a fact that both individuals must feel the same way for each other on some level."
"There are many way to know if one is bonded or on the way of being bonded. The most common one is telepathy most bonded pair share a link of the mind so strong that they can hear each other's thoughts. Usually when the pair is first starting down the path they can only can get a feel of each other emotions or where they're located….."
Raven continued to read growing more and more unsure about herself and her feelings. She skimmed through the chapter not really taking anything in. 'Do I really have feelings for Sean? Does he have feelings for me? What should I do?'
For the first time in Raven's life she was unsure how she should proceed. The mage locked away her emotions for reasons like this. This way she would always make the right choice no matter what the situation, and never hesitate. This way Raven's magic won't run off and hurt somebody.
Does she crave the championship that her friends are always trying to give?
You know Trigon-damn she does, but her unstable magic and her destiny had always overran those urges.
Logic over desires.
She knew that if she got to close to anyone that leaving would only bring pain to both parties. It would be even more painful knowing what she would leave them behind, or at least what won't be left behind.
Something thing in the book caught Raven's eye. She wiped her eyes to find that they were wet with tears. 'Only Sean would do this to me,' Raven thought as she began reading again
"It is common for Kitsune Host to find their mate's from any different sub-clans. It is very rare for host to find mates outside of the clan even rarer to find them outside of their species. Even though they are very uncommon it does happen, if so the non-Kitsune host will experience a few changes themselves, although they are very small. They may develop animalistic characteristics like growling or the top of their hair forming small fox ears. For more details….."
Raven closed the book tossed it in front of her, "Great," she mumbled, "Not only am I bonding with a member of a clan of demon fighters, but I'm going to turn into one."
Raven stood up and walked to her window to see the sinking sun. She watched as the star was swallowed by the horizon casting red and purple glow to the sky. Raven couldn't help but wonder what her life could have been if her destiny wasn't to destroy the world. She could see her spending time with the rest of the Titans as they went out for pizza, laughing and enjoying herself. She could really see herself holding onto Sean's arms as he showered her with love and affection.
"Azar," the mage whispered trying to hold back the tears that threaten to fall from her eyes, "Arella…mother help me. I don't know what to do. Should I give in to these feelings? What should I do?"
As to answer her question, a small white dove fluttered to her window before flying to the roof. Phasing through the window Raven followed the direction that the bird took off to. Reaching to the roof she looked to see where it went off to. She was about to call it quits and go back to her room when the sound of something fluttering in the wind caught her attention.
The mage turned around to the noise to see Sean standing there, with the dove in his hands as he pet it gently.
"Hey Rachel," Sean said looking up at her. Raven looked around the Titan to see that he was surrounded by ravens of all sizes. Sean picked up her wondering glance, "Yea they just started swarming me all of a sudden," he said as a raven on his shoulder began rubbing its head against his cheek.
The Kitsune Host chuckled before the birds took off circling around Rachel in a typhoon, causing her cloak to flutter before flying off to the city. The Duchess of Darkness watched as the birds now being followed the dove disappeared into the city.
'By Inari's breath, she's so beautiful,' Raven snapped her head to Sean eyes wide and blush working its way on her face.
"What did you say?" she asked.
"I didn't say anything," Sean answered with a raised eyebrow.
'She really cute when she blushes,' a more perky version of Sean's voice spoke up.
"Shut up happy, your going to ruin the moment,' another version of Sean's said.
'A little late for that,' Sean said. Raven watched as the entire conversation happened without him moving his mouth.
That's when Raven's eye widen as she managed to do the math. 'I'm listening to his mind,' she thought before putting up her mental defenses. But something felt weird. Not in a bad way but defenses felt…different, like there was an armored tunnel.
"Are you okay?" Sean asked with a concern look on his face.
"Yea," Raven said hurriedly, "Just a little tired from the tournament that's all," she explained quickly.
The Kitsune Clan member nodded his head, walking forward and kissing her on her charka stone, "Go get some rest, I'll bring you some tea that I got from sensei to help me relax later on." With that said Sean left Raven on the roof top.
"I have my answer now."
In the dark abyss beneath a semi-dormant volcano Slade listen to his agent explanation on why she disappeared suddenly.
"So," Slade said his voice low, "You participated in a tournament of heroines with a few of the well known supers, and you LOST?!" Slade growled at the end causing Zero who was kneeling before him to flinched.
"I would have suspected for you to lose against Supergirl maybe even Wondergirl," Slade continued is voice raising, "but to lose against RAVEN! That is unacceptable for someone of your caliber." He roared standing up and kicking Zero to the side.
Zero tried to get back up but was stopped by Slade pressing his foot on her chest cutting off her breathing. "Its bad enough that I couldn't get Terra to join us thanks to your brother, but now your being defeated by one measly mage," he said as Zero tried to breathe through the pressure of Slade's boot.
"The only reason why I'm not punishing you even further," Slade said pressing his foot deeper, "Is because you brought me this to me." Deathstroke said pointing at one of the large screens beside him, which showed skeleton of a human body.
Underneath it the words Sean 'Blitzkrieg' Wilson was printed in blue.
Next to it the words: Chip activated.
Slade lifted his foot to allow Zero to gasp for air which quickly turned into coughing as she tried to replace much needed air in her lungs.
"Since it seems you can't handle someone as weak as Raven," Slade said moving to one of the computers, "I'm going to bring somebody who can."
Slade typed away on the computer sending a message to one person.
A person who goes by the name of Ravager.
Well that all I got for now don't forget to Review.
Also I'm sorry if everything feels rushed, the reason for that is because I'm going to do a lot of skipping around for the third season before we hit the fourth and you know what happens then. Most of the episodes I won't do mainly because I really didn't like most of them, but I will mention them in some way to show that they still happen off screen.
