Training. Honestly beast boy had gotten more active and he did achieve to have more tricks and attacks for combat but since his nutrition is very poor he sometimes can't keep up.

He also didn't do any weight training or just anything with weight because he tried to lose weight, not gain any. So his basic things he did for his training was skipping ropes, trying new attacks, workouts to lose weight, running, jogging in the nature as well as on the treadmill. But since he didn't do anything with weights, and was pretty much starved, he didn't really keep up with strength, sometimes not even with his animal forms.

But when the titans were training, everyone had to full fill the 4 areas:

1. Speed (treadmill)

2. Strength (weightlifting)

3. Practice of attacks

4. Combat

Today it was like usual. He started off with the speed area. But before he could get on the treadmill there was an announcement from Robin.

"Ok, titans, now last week we remember how mad mod had that gun that would take away of our powers, right? And in that scenario we don't want to lose, just because of our powers, alright? So we are going to focus on ourselves without our powers.

And of course Cyborg can't just put his strength away and the same goes for Starfire, but you can not use the starbolts, props, magic, flying, the sonic blast, oh and the animals you transform to. So now everybody tries to finish those 4 areas without your powers. Let's go!"

Shoot..

Was all beast boy could think, but then he accepted his fate and got on the treadmill. It was going nicely.

He was on the 3rd level. But he could go on. He got on the 4th one. He was starting to sweat. Normally he was the fastest obviously, since he can transform into fast animals, and when he normally was on the treadmill he reached the level 35.

More sweat was building up as it started to fall of his nose. He turned to 5. At this point his sweat was literally raining of his nose. He wasn't used to running this fast in human form and to that he was still malnourished.

After a while he switched to level 6. His muscles were burning like something lit up inside his thighs and the pain was going all the way down to his feet. He felt like his legs were slowly burning and dieying away. But he had to keep going. He had to go for more. So he switched to 7. All his muscles in his body were turned on at this point and he was panting louder than anyone in the room. The titans looked over to him in the room. The boy was sweating furiously but thought

'I can go longer, harder and better..' as he turned the switch to 8. At this point his friends weren't cheering and yelling anymore but we're actually concerned. They knew if you would push yourself on that machine you could end up hurt pretty badly. „Beast boy, I think that's enough, good job!" Robin shouted so beast boy would manage to hear it.

But the green kid had other plans. He was focused on pushing himself to the limit. He highered the level to 9.

His legs were basically not even on the ground. But still the pain in his body was spread everywhere.

Then beast boy almost tripped. 'Whew! That was close!' He thought putting his attention only on his legs.

To that the titans gasped almost had a heart attack. If he fell... you don't even want to know!

"Friend Beast boy, please, stop, that is enough! You will fall if you continue!" Starfire yelled.

"Yeah, B, you can stop already, that's a high level!" The half metal man shouted. But beast Boy wasn't thinking of stopping.

He carried on with it as the titans were still yelling and shouting for him to shut it off.

"You can't take it anymore!" Robin yelled. Beast boys vision got blurrier and those black spot enemies made their way onto his vision again. His legs felt numb as if he had none. And he was visibly shaking. His hair also looked like it hab been pouring rain outside and he went out. 'Ha!.. Can't take anymore.. I can and I will' and beast boy changed to 10. Enough.

Raven went to the emergency power station and pulled at the red one with the sign that said 'treadmill'.

Beast boy wasn't avarice of her doing that and he was still running so then he was pushed hardly against the treadmill screen and all. He shook his head and stepped off the treadmill. He was still panting, sweating to death and his legs felt like a part of his body again. Which was good but also bad since he could feel the pain again. "Dude! Why didn't you let me fini-" he was cut off by a person with the widest eyes of all of them.

"Are you Crazy?! Level ten, Without your animal abilities?! Don't you see that big warning that Robin taped on their just to make sure that people with a stupid brain, like you, wouldn't forget?!" Raven screamed at him. And yes there was really a red sign saying '6-7 is the max!'.

He looked up at her, but shouldn't have because

1. He was met by her death glare, that had surprisingly have a bit of concern it and

2. Because right when he looked up he was met with more of those nasty black spots, a slight bit of nausea and also

dizziness. His knees buckled slightly as he almost fell on the floor but supported himself with the treadmill.

'If this didn't make me lose weight..' a thought was build in the back of his mind.

"Are you alright, man?" Cyborg asked hold out a hand for beast boy to support himself. They all looked at him and waited for response. "Yeah, no, I'm fine, just you know, some cramps!" He said swinging energetically. He shouldn't have done that, it almost made him pass out again.

"Ok, beast boy since we are now still training I will speak to you afterwards.." the leader gave him a strict face. 'Great'

He thought but showed no emotions. "Let's continue." And they all walked to their areas. Ok so now he was done

with the first one. He decided to do the practice of attacks training next. He drank a little bit of water and dried the sweat of off him before stepping on the matt and learning new tricks. He felt dizzy and also faint throughout that but he managed to keep up and also learn some new cool tricks. He again rested for a while but it was not even 4 minutes before he stood up and continued. Weights station.. the worst, well for him. And the worst part was that Cyborg and Starfire were there.

Great. He thought. Now the strongest titans are besides the weakest one. But then he thought of that satisfaction that kept him going. He gulped as he walked to the area. He started of with the smallest dumbbells.

'Easy..' he thought of it as a little warm up. Then he took one that was three time it's size. It was also kind of easy.

It was heavier and harder but it was easy. He then took the 7th lightest. Oh yes that was hard. He started sweating a little.

Cyborg looked at him. He scoffed. "Is that all you can take, little man?" He joked as he saw his sweating best friend.

Beast boy pouted in response.

'Definitely going to laugh at me..' he thought happily. "No way tin man, I can do way more!" Beast boy said with a grin.

Cyborg scoffed again. "Oh, really?" He smiled back at his green friend. He knew that he wouldn't go for much longer.

"Wanna bet?" Beast boy asked as reply. Cyborg only looked at him with a look that said you're so on and started grabbing the dumbbell that was 2 times heavier than his current one. Beast boy did the same. But knew he couldn't do any more than that.

'Come on beast boy!' Beast boy thought to himself. His arm muscles were on fire going through the same thing his legs did when they were on the almost last stage. Cyborg grabbed another one 5 times heavier. He smiled at him nastily.

Beast boy at this point would usual accept his defeat and wouldn't even try but he was different today. He copied cyborg.

But he shouldn't have. His arms were about to break on him. Forever. His muscles felt like they were getting ripped apart and he then let go of the dumbbell. He panted and held his arm tightly.

"Awww, are you hurt because of a little weightlifting? And I thought I couldn't roast you anymore when you said that you gained some muscle mass! You're still that noodle dude!" He exclaimed in a baby voice. The satisfaction, the attention and the well feeling of his friend made him happier than usual. He crossed his arms and turned his back to him before turning to him again with a smile. "Well, this is really unfair, but do you know what would be fair? That you would do the same you did only with that one person that starts with a s, has red hair and eats everything with mustard. He turned to starfire.

"Oh, yes that shall be a great way of exercising!" She exclaimed. Cyborg gulped while beast boy giggled at him. But before they could even start Robin began talking.

"Alright, titans, stop at what you were doing because now we are going to start our combat. I will inform you your sparring partner I have chosen trying to put a good balance in it. But before I would like for you, if you have a weapon or prop, to put them into this box. I will now announce the partners.." Robin announced. Beast boy felt a tingle enter his body.

Yep not ready to lose, but ready for the laughs that will follow.
