CHAPTER 15: Debriefing and Departure
Disclaimer I don't own the Teen Titans
With the Guznal dead there's nothing else for both to do there. They watched by one window of the kitchen that another starship headed for the stadium, but it was heavy hit by the anti-aircraft fire, and crashed a block away form Beast Boy and Raven location.
"Now it's our chance" Said Raven
And they leave the house with the dead body of the Guznal in the kitchen. Since the stadium was far away they needed a vehicle. Outside the house they found a red four-door Mercedes, they ride the car and travelled to the stadium, they passed a railroad crossing and the stadium was visible on the distance, but then something happened
"The bugs must have positions around the stadium, so let's be careful now" Said Raven
"Yes, let's see if we can dodge them" Responded Beast Boy
They where just two blocks away form the stadium
"Beast Boy brake!" Screamed Raven
At the scream Beast Boy stopped the car and saw the same that Raven, a ray-gun was towed by the bugs to the middle of the street
"Holly shit" managed to say Beast Boy as he putted the reverse shift and drove away, he turned on the lateral street, but with the rush to escape he didn't look where the car was going, and at the middle of the street the car crashed against a truck. Although they where shocked, both were unharmed
"Raven are you ok?" Asked Beast Boy
"Yes, don't worry, but what do we hit" She responded
As Beast Boy looked by the rear view mirror said "Its looks like a truck" and he moved the car forward but the engine died and the car sopped a few meters away
"Great just, great" he said with irony and both teens came out of the car
"We need to find another car, we are this close" Raven as Beast Boy looked at a familiar yellow seashell painted on the side of the truck
"Look at this Raven this is a fuel truck"
"Luckily for us didn't explode with the crash"
"Yes you are right. Hey that gives me an idea" Beast Boy said and looked in the wrecked trunk of the car and grabbed the car jack
"What are you going to do with that" She asked
"Don't worry Rae just look at this and take cover" He responded as he climbed to the cabin of the fuel truck
"Beast Boy get back here now" She screamed, but he only make noise with the claxon of the truck and wave his arm by the window
He speed up and headed for the ray-gun, when the truck reached sufficient speed, he putted the car jack on the accelerator and jumped of the cabin. The bugs activated the ray-gun and fired at the trucks, who keep advancing, and seconds before hit the ray the fuel of the tank exploded because of the overheating by the ray and destroyed the ray-guns along with the bugs.
He reunited with Raven who saw all this from the corner of the street
"Are you nuts, how cow you do something like this" She screamed at him
"Don't worry this cleared the way for us, now we just wait for the fire to extinguish and we can pass" Beast Boy responded
"Don't you ever do something like that, at least let me be with you when you do it"
"Hey don't sat those things" he responded "we can survive this we have to fight along with the other against the invaders, besides if we have to fight to the end we are going to do it side by side, but now just wait for the flames to extinguish"
And they looked how the flames disappeared in minutes clearing the way. Although it was clear, they run the last meters to the stadium, waiting for a hit of a ray-gun or a swarm of bugs, but none of that happened.
A sentinel form the top of the stands screamed "Hold your fire, they are form the recon patrol"
Luckily they where identified on time, hey had three machinegun nests aiming at them. Moments later they where on the offices of the stadium informing of the patrol to the Major and the rest of the officers
"And that's all, we have preferred to bring the Guznal alive but it was impossible the fear will kill them" concluded Raven
"Don't worry about that, your patrol has been very helpful, it was not your fault that the information obtained wasn't so clarified as we wanted" said the Major
Form outside the voice of a sentinel came
"Major! Hey Major come here quickly"
Moments before he arrived at the top of the stands where a crowd of soldiers has reunited
"What are you doing all of you here, don't you know that if they attack with the ray-gun you are all death"
"Impossible sir" one of the soldiers responded "There are no ray-guns or bugs in the area, that's what the sentinel informed to us"
"With the death of the Guznal and the destruction of the command post might convinced the invaders that we are no easy prey, but we must considerate that all this also could be a trap" said one of the officers
"I don't believe that this is a trap or that they are retreating, we don't' defeat them, but we managed to disconcerted them, and now we have to take and advantage and leave the stadium and continue to march into the city" the Major said, then he added "In war, like in the box when the opponent is vacillating you have to continue to hit him" he concluded
"Corporal, we need to leave the stadium in twenty minutes"
"Yes, Sir!" He responded
In that time the place was full of activity, meanwhile Beast Boy and Raven reunited with Stand and the rest of the conscripts, they where also ready to departure
As they leave the stadium, all looked back at the stands, which for three days protected them form, the attacks, they fell the sensation of being naked, but none of them stay behind, they where outside and it was better to attack with strength
Among the soldiers Tony appeared "Hey guys" he screamed at Beast Boy and Raven, who where already reunited with Jinx
"I heard that you have a "close encounter" he said as he pulled out the small notepad
"Yes, you see, when…" and Beast Boy started to tell the story of the recon patrol, and also Raven added some details
