Jynx: "Thanks. That sounds like you mean it. Not"
Robin: "Will the two of you quit it already? I do not want to hear this all day long."
Later that night, Kojiro was sitting on top of Titans Tower looking up at the night sky. Raven floated up from the room below. "Nice night isn't it?" Kojiro asked without looking. "Yes." Raven simply said. They remained where they were for a few moments before Kojiro spoke up again. "You want to know why I trust her to keep her word?" Kojiro asked. "The thought did cross my mind." Raven admitted. "When I found her, her own teammates were trying to kill her. I know what you're thinking, old trick, right? I've seen that situation before too. But it felt different this time. I think they were really trying to kill her. Things like that tend to change people." Kojiro explained. "What else is it?" Raven asked. "Are you reading my mind Raven?" Kojiro asked. "No, but that explanation was a little weak." Raven said. "Fair enough. The other reason is how similar Jynx's situation was to ours." Kojiro said. "I don't understand what we have to do with it." Raven said. "No, not us, I was talking about my race. We were practically the living definition of evil, ruthless, savage, destructive, and relentless. We used to clear off planets of all life to sell to something else." Kojiro said. "Why? What reason did you have for doing that?" Raven asked. "We were ordered too. The Saiyans used to be controled by Freiza, a tyrant who used us for his menial work. But he became paranoid that one day we would become too powerful to control and turn on him. Well he was right about that, but he didn't want to wait. When he thought the only Saiyan that would survive was Prince Vegeta, Freiza destroyed our home planet. A few survivors made it off the planet in time thanks to an early warning by another Saiyan. My family and some others fled Planet Vegeta before it exploded. We found a new planet and turned it into New Vegeta, and started over again, this time for ourselves. Then on the day I was to go out into space for my first mission, Freiza found us again. This time only a handful survived." Kojiro said. "So almost becoming extinct changed your minds?" Raven asked. "No, eventually, we all made it to Earth where Kakarot was. First he beat his brother, then Nappa and Vegeta. When Kakarot Beat Freiza, Vegeta decided to stay on Earth. Eventually, Musashi and Myself made our own ways to Earth and started living there too. There was no real question about weither we wanted to join them, but we did. So we've spent the last several years protecting the Earth. Now my enemies are here, so I must be too." Kojiro said. "But why do you trust Jynx so easily?" Raven asked. "Like I said before, I know what it feels like to be hated everywhere you go. I know the desire to rid yourself of that feeling, even if you have to change everything about yourself. The point I was trying to make it that, we Saiyans were not good people. Had the first Saiyan to reach Earth not been Kakarot, or if he didn't forget his mission, the Earth might not exist where I came from, then I wouldn't be here. Sometimes when I think about it, I have to laugh. The first large threat from an alien race to Earth, became its' greatest protector. Maybe the same thing will happen here too." Kojiro said. "Well you're here now. Perhaps it will." Raven said.
Down in Hell, Spectre Kai was sitting atop a throne of skulls. He watched as the Demons trained themselves in the manner Spectre told them too. Slade stood to the side, watching the Demons. "Why aren't you training as well?" Spectre asked. "I am already an expert fighter. I have dealt with the best before. They need training for more than I." Slade said. "You may be proficient enough for the mortals up there, But Takamashi is a Saiyan from another planet." Spectre said. "The Titans have an alien on their team already. She is not much threat." Slade commented. "You're a fool to assume the Alien Titan and Takamashi are the same." Spectre said. "The girl is a Tamoranian. Her strength is greatly above any human on Earth. Yet I have faced her and gotten away." Slade mentioned. "Fine. If you insist. I have a mission for you then. If I am to rule this world after I get Takamashi, I'll need some more Generals besides you. I want you to go to the surface and scout out some possible candidates." Spectre said. "I already know of a few that would suit our needs." Slade said. "Really? Why didn't you present this information to me sooner?" Spectre asked. "I just thought you were satisfied with me as your general, I did not think you would want more." Slade said. "Well you thought wrong. I was one of five generals my old master created, but Takamashi killed them all, WITHOUT this cursed blade of his. He still posses the greatest threat to my goals." Spectre said. "Then why not have him killed?" Slade asked. "We did that once already. That's when he destroyed my fellow generals, and almost killed my old master." Slade said. "Almost? I thought you were the master of the demons." Slade asked. "I am now. I took his power, and along with it came the minions. It was that old fools actions that turned me into this, how amusing that it was me and not Takamashi that finished him off." Spectre grinned.
"Are there any qualities you want the Generals to have?" Slade asked. "They have to be strong. They also have to have some degree of inteligence." Spectre listed, "I trust you'll figure out a few more choices once you begin your search. You'll be able to teleport yourself back to the surface. But remember, they don't have to be dead to become one of my Generals. If they're still alive, it gives them more reason to fight harder." Spectre Kai said. "Very well, I shall go at once. I have a few people in mind that might take the offer." Slade said as Spectre Kai opened a portal for Slade. Spectre Kai waited all of ten minutes before he was tired of waiting around in this world's hell. Standing up from his throne of skulls, Spectre Kai called for some of the lesser Shadow Demons to accompany him to the surface. "I think it's time Takamashi got to know what I've become." Spectre Kai proclaimed and summoned another portal leading to the suface.
Meanwhile, inside Titan Tower;
Beast Boy moved as slow and as stealthly as he could. Kojiro had been one of them for 3 days now, and so far he hadn't been 'Initiated.' Beast Boy knew Robin wouldn't get up this early for something like this, and Cyborg was still recharging his system. Starfire would blow the whole thing early by talking to Kojiro while they set things up, and Raven proclaimed long ago she didn't want anything to do with Initiations. So now it was up to Beast Boy alone. Setting up the rubber band across the hall, and a balloon full of shaving cream (why they have shaving cream when none of them shave we'll never know). Beast Boy tip-toed over to Kojiro's door and knocked. When he got no response, he knocked harder. Finally he ponded on the door with both fists. This Time Beast Boy heard Kojiro getting out of his bed and slowly walking to the door. 'Good, he's half asleep. This will be AWSOME!' Beast Boy cheered in his mind and ran to the other end of the hall and around the corner. Kojiro opened the door and faintly recognized the sound of a rubber band snapping into action. Before Kojiro could form another thought, he was smacked in the face with a balloon that popped and spread the contained shaving cream all over the hall. Kojiro soon came to his senses after that. His first thought was, 'Hey, I have shaving cream on my face.' This thought was soon followed by an angered thought of, 'I bet Beast Boy had something to do with this.' And that thought was accompanied with Kojiro's aura flaring to life, and igniting the shaving cream.
Starfire: "Mr. Author"
Author: "Yes Starfire, what is it?"
Starfire: "I was wondering if Mr. Musashi was going to get that story he suggested"

Jynx: "Been watching Red vs Blue again, have you"
Author: "Yes I have"
Kojiro: "Okay then, what happens next"
Author: "What do you mean"
Kojiro: "This is the teaser for the next chapter isn't it? You're supposed to hint to the next chapter"
Author: "Maybe, but I find this more fun"
Kojiro: "More fun huh? Alright. Why are you taking so long to get out more chapters"
Author: "Writer's block with no feedback. I acctually read the responses people put up. It could inspire me to change some things they didn't like"
Beast Boy: "How many reviews have we gotten so far"
Author: "None"
Beast Boy: O.O
Kojiro: 8-p
Author: "Great. Now comes the emoticon taunting. Remember people, your reviews can influence changes in the story."
