Bialya || September 4 12:00 EDT ||
Ruby is groaning in pain while holding her head. She couldn't remember what made her pass out and noticing she's not at Nelson house.
"Whe-where am I?" Muttering herself and groaning in pain. "My head hurts." Shaking it slightly and looking at her surroundings. "Am I in Egypt?"
She heard a vehicle heading towards her direction. Ruby immediately hides behind the rock and leaning on it. "Where is Aaliyah, Zara, Arthur and Caleb?" She asks sadly and looking down at her keys. "Since when did I gain new-"
"Hello." Ruby yelped in surprised to see a boy close to his age, with an 'R' symbol on his left chest. "Why are you here in Bialya?" He asks her curiously.
"I...um... who are you?" Ruby feels nervous around him and placing her right hand at the hilt of her fan.
"Woah, woah, woah!" He raises his hand up. "I'm not here to fight you."
"Why am I in Bialya?" She demanded some answers from him. "How do I know you're not an enemy?"
"I'm Robin and one of the good guys." He introduced himself to the unknown scarlet-haired girl. "I didn't know you're a hero too."
"What?" Ruby blinks her eyes and looking down at her outfit. She's wearing Chinese celestial robes and touching her face that has a mask to cover her half-face. "Why am I wearing this? I don't even remember of me being a hero." She muttered and shaking her head.
"When did you last remember?" Robin asks her curiously.
"I was recovering my health because I'm feeling unwell." Ruby half-lied. "What is the date day? I'm pretty sure we're a half week of March."
"We're actually in September." Robin corrected her.
"Wha-how!?" Ruby asks with a shocked tone. "What happened to March?"
"I should ask my mentor, Batman. To radio him up." Robin froze and remembering some words from his mentor.
"Maintain radio silence at all times." Echoing Robin's mind.
"Or not." Robin shakes his head. "Sorry young maiden, I can't contact Batman. I have to remain our radio silence all the time."
"I'm..." Ruby froze and remembering something.
"Your hero name is Celestial while Aaliyah is Kitsune and Zara is Angel." The elder sibling Nelson echoed through her mind.
"Celestial." Ruby uses her alias.
"Well, Celestial suits you." Robin commented and smirked seeing her blush. "Shall we?"
"EEEK!" Celestial yelped as she has been dragged down the boy wonder. "Who owns that tore shirt?" She asks curiously and Robin dragged her to examine it.
Robin looked at it closely and recognized the 'S' symbol from a certain man of steel. He stared at her closely and Celestial shakes her head, having no clue why they're in the Bialya in the first place.
"Ar... thur... wa...up... Arthur!" Arthur cried out in pain of being slapped by someone.
"Za-Zara?" He stuttered and accepting her hand to help him stands up. "Where are we?"
"I don't know." Zara answered in her adult form. "Arthur, I couldn't find Aaliyah and Ruby." She's worried about them, especially they're in the middle of a deserted area.
"We have to be calm-"
"Saber! It's great to see you man!" They turned around to see two girls and one boy are approaching them.
"You know them?" Zara asks the brunette curiously.
"Only Kid Flash and the other two?" Arthur shakes his head. "I don't know them."
"Arthur and Zara!" The green-skinned girl looks pleased to see them.
"Who are you two?" Arthur asks the two girls curiously.
"Not you too." The green-skinned girl groaned. "You're Arthur known as Saber while Zara is also known as Angel."
"Except the fact you're revealing too much." The blonde girl grumbled under her breath and Zara's ear twitch.
"Do you want to say that in face, Blondie?" Zara asks the blonde girl with a cold smile on her face.
"Don't fight her, Artemis." The green-skinned girl breaks up their fight. "She's just a kid who can transform into an adult form or cat."
"Who are you!?" Zara immediately sheathes her sword and pointing at the girl's face. "How did you know who I am!?" She asks angrily and gripping the hilt of her sword.
"Calm down, Zara!" Saber tried to calm down the halfling but she didn't budge. "You can't kill her!"
"I'll explain everything to you guys!" The green-skinned girl exclaimed and feels scared of her cold indigo eyes. "We lost our memories and need to regroup with Robin, Superboy, Celestial and Kitsune."
"Why would I trust you?" Zara asks her in a cold tone. "How do we know you're not our enemy?"
"I would never put you guys in danger." She answered and stared at her indigo eyes. "J'onn known as Martian Manhunter, he's my Uncle and I'm one of the good guys."
"Zara..." Saber called the halfling in a soft tone. "I trust her, there could be a chance we might see the others." He tried to persuade Zara's mind.
"Okay." Zara sighs and lowers her sword. "We can't waste anymore time. Let's go." Walking ahead of them without waiting for their response.
Saber sighs heavily and Kid Flash patted his shoulder. "Dude, didn't know she's a heartless one." Kid Flash commented. "I didn't know you knew her very well."
"We met each other before." Saber answered. "We lost our memories and the other two girls are missing." Saber informed him. "Those two girls are very close to each other as sisters. I'm sorry about Zara's sudden behavior."
"No worries." The green-skinned girl assured Saber. "Those three are like family. I'm not surprised by Zara's action."
Robin is using his computer hologram to follow the map together with Celestial. "Wish I could remember why I put GPS marker here." He grumbled and pull Celestial down to avoid getting caught. "Huh! Guessing that's why."
"Wait!" Celestial stops him. "I sense someone is hiding around that machine, what shall we do?"
"Beat them up." He smirked and Celestial blushed slightly. "How did you sense them?"
"My magic." She muttered and grabbing one of her scarlet keys. "I need to summon one of my Chinese spirits to help us out."
"There's no door, Celestial." Robin spoke up and Celestial ignore him.
"Saru no mon! Watashi wa anata o hiraku, Sun Ce! (Gate of the monkey! I open thee, Sun Ce!)" Celestial called one of her Chinese spirits as a young boy wearing brown Chinese long sleeve as his ears are the shape of a monkey with a tail.
"Sun Ce, help us!" Celestial ordered her Chinese Spirit.
"Yes, ma'am!" Sun Ce salutes Celestial and attacking the hidden enemies. "Saruken! (Monkey fists!)" He uses his magic to defeat them.
Celestial and Robin are helping Sun Ce out as someone decided to help them. Celestial smiled in relief to see familiar faces. "Za- Angel and Saber!" The scarlet-haired girl tackled them into a hug.
"Thank goodness we found you." Saber sighs in relief. "Have you seen Kitsune?" He asks Celestial worriedly.
"No." Celestial answered. "Robin and I haven't seen her."
"We can have a reunion later." Robin intervened them. "Let's hogtie these creeps and compare notes."
Miss Martian explained everything to them they're Team. "So we're a team?" Robin asks the Martian girl.
"The 7 of us, Kitsune and Superboy." Miss Martian told them.
"Then his must be his." Robin showed a torn shirt.
"Yes! Did you see him?" She asks him worriedly.
"I think we did." Artemis spoke up since herself and Kid Flash saw Superboy and no signs of Kitsune at all.
"Feral boy?" Kid Flash asks curiously and rubbing his chin. "Some teammate. He attacked us."
"He didn't know who we are." Artemis pointed out. "I don't know who we are."
"I remember Batman ordering radio silence." Robin informed them. "Our team must work for him."
"I also happened to remember our alias when Ca- I mean, Knight gave us." Celestial informed them.
"How do you know we don't work for my mentor?" Kid Flash asks Miss Martian curiously and pressing his emblem to reveal his original suit, not the stealth mode. "Whoa. This is so cool!" He presses it again with a smile on his face.
Robin and Artemis tried it to press their emblem, to see if their suit changed as well. It is futile and only Kid Flash himself could change his suit to stealth mode or the original one.
"We look ridiculous." Artemis spoke up angrily. "Quit touching yourself! We need our memories back." She scolded Kid Flash and Saber sighs heavily.
"Celestial." Saber called the scarlet-haired girl. "Can Kurama bring back our memories?" He asks her curiously.
"Unfortunately, no." Celestial answered and shaking her head. "Kurama can cure anything but not the mind itself."
"I see..." He nodded his head in understanding.
Miss Martian uses her powers as the six of them are somewhere in the memories dimension. "I brought you into my mind. To share what I've remembered so far. But I need your help. Together, our broken memories can form a whole, if you open your minds to mine."
"Hell no!" Angel denied the idea of her sharing memories to someone she just met. "I won't allow anyone to share my memories I just met!"
Celestial is tense and gripping Robin's cape as she looks down on the ground. Robin notice she's is shivering in fear of sharing memories. The boy wonder held her hand to calm Celestial down.
"You want to paw through our private thoughts?" Artemis asks the Martian girl.
"I have no wish to intrude, but-" Miss Martian was cut off by someone.
"We need to hack our minds to grok what happened to us. Got it. Go." Robin agreed on Miss Martian's idea.
"My brain's all yours." Kid Flash agreed.
"Mine as well." Saber told Miss Martian with a smile on his face.
"Try not to let its brilliance overwhelm you." Kid Flash teased Miss Martian with a smirk on his face.
"Or underwhelm you." Robin commented. "Hey, why isn't anyone ever just whelmed?"
"Celestial, Angel and Artemis?" Saber called the other three girls.
"No." Celestial shakes her head. "I don't want to! Please, Saber!" She pleads and biting her lower lips to prevent herself from crying. The celestial mage has a history of someone to manipulate her memories and she didn't want the history repeats itself.
"Celestial..." He stared at her worriedly since Saber is the only one who can understand Angel and Celestial speaking in Japanese.
"Hey..." Robin called Celestial softly and he wipes her tears under her half mask. "I know you don't want anyone to invade your memories. Miss Martian will help us recover our memories for 6 months only."
"Robin is right." Saber spoke up. "Only 6 months not everything."
"Saber and I are here for you, Celestial." Robin caressed her soft cheeks. "If you can't trust us, trust me."
"Ha-hai. (ye-yes)." Celestial reluctantly give in.
"Angel?" Saber called the halfling. "If not for you, do it for Kitsune."
"Fine." Angel sighs heavily. "I'll do it." She reverts herself back into a yellow cat.
"Artemis?"
"Last 6 months only, and only what you need." Artemis finally agreed.
Miss Martian nodded her head and going to recover their memories for the last 6 months.
~Flashback~
"The watchtower detected an immense power surge in the Bialyan desert." Batman brief the Team about their new mission. "Spectral analysis revealed elements non-terrestrial in origin. Find out what happened at the site, what landed there. Bialya is a rogue state ruled by Queen Bee." Showing them the picture of a woman. "And not a member of the League's U.N Charter. All communications are subject to interception. Maintain radio silence at all times. You'll land in Kourak on Bialya's border, 2 clicks from the hot zone."
The next scenario they already arrive at the Bialya as Superboy carried the machine by himself.
"All clear." Robin informed them.
"The Bialyans control the site." Artemis spoke up when herself and Robin are observing them from above.
"Set up here." Kitsune ordered the clone.
"We'll be up and running in no time." Robin told them when he's doing setting up the machine.
"Jackpot!" Kid Flash exclaimed happily. "The site's lousy with zeta beam radiation."
"Detecting non-terrestrial trace elements from the tent." Robin pointed out.
"I'll check it out in camouflage mode." Miss Martian volunteered.
"Good idea. Go." Aqualad agreed to her idea.
"What's wrong, Kitsune?" Saber asks the Water Dragon Slayer curiously.
"There's something... I feel like someone knew we're already here." Kitsune answered him truthfully.
"You're being paranoid, Kitsune." Angel spoke up. "Miss Martian is going to check it out."
"She's right." Celestial spoke up. "Just try to calm yourself down."
"I will..." Kitsune sighs heavily and feels uneasy.
"Careful." Superboy told Miss Martian.
"Remember, don't use the comm." Kitsune reminded them.
"And maintain telepathic contact." Aqualad spoke up.
"I will, Aqualad." Miss Martian assured her.
~Flashback ends~
"Aqualad!" Everyone cried out of Atlantean's alias.
"Where is he? What happened next?" Robin asks Miss Martian.
"I don't know!" Miss Martian answered. "That's the last thing I-we remember."
Artemis takes her hand away from Kid Flash while he rubs his head sheepishly. "Ehh... We landed 24 hours ago." Kid Flash pointed out.
"If Kaldur's been wandering the desert that long, well... that's not good for a guy with gills." Saber commented.
"Especially he's Atlantean." Angel pointed out. "I just hope he stayed with Kitsune."
"None of us know where Kitsune is." Saber pointed out and feels worried about her. "We don't even know-"
"I'm here with Aqualad." They turned around to see Kitsune is holding Aqualad in a piggyback style. "I use too much magic on Aqualad to prevent him from dehydrate."
Saber and Kid Flash immediately grabs Aqualad to give Kitsune a rest. "Did you lost your memories, Kitsune?" Artemis asks her curiously.
"No... just a massive headache." Kitsune shakes her head. "All I remember was we got separated by a mind blast. I managed to find Aqualad while the enemies are lurking around... I have to protect him seeing he's in no condition to fight." She explained.
"How come you didn't lose your memories?" Kid Flash asks Kitsune with a skeptical look on his face. He didn't believe Kitsune of losing her memories.
"I've been experiencing this type of psychic before... I need to build up my will and not letting anyone control me." Kitsune spoke up and stared at Miss Martian. "What's his prognosis?"
"I'm glad you manage to make him rehydrated... I still can't restore his memories, Kitsune." Miss Martian explained.
"He needs immediate rehydration. Miss Martian, I need you to call the bioship." Kitsune ordered her.
"It's out of range, but can get him there fast." Miss Martian spoke up and referring to Kid Flash who will carry Aqualad towards the bioship.
"He's too heavy." Kid Flash answered. "And I'm too low on fuel. Right now, I couldn't even carry her." Pointing his right thumb at Artemis direction.
"I can call Sora to carry Aqualad." Celestial volunteered.
"Sora is big enough to get Bialyan soldier's attention." Kitsune spoke up and sighs heavily. "Angel, carry Aqualad. Saber and Miss Martian, go and find Superboy. Superboy is acting like an animal impulse and hurt anyone he sees."
"I almost forgot Superboy was a clone to Superman." Saber pointed out.
"If there is anyone to restore Superboy's mind, that's you, Miss Martian." Kitsune spoke up. "Send us the coordinates of your bioship."
"Are you sure it's a great idea for Saber and Miss Martian to go by themselves?" Kid Flash asks Kitsune curiously. "Superboy's indestructible."
"Sun Ce." Celestial called her Chinese monkey spirit. "Can you go with them?"
"Are you sure, Celestial?" Sun Ce asks his Master curiously. "What if you need me?"
"I'll be fine." Celestial assured him. "Sun Ce is one of my strongest Chinese spirits. He's more stronger than Superboy."
"Okay. Go. Remember Miss Martian, strong will. That goes for you two." Kitsune warned them.
Angel is carrying Aqualad in her arms in an adult form. Robin leads them where the bioship is and they hide behind the pillar. Kitsune frowned behind her half when Aqualad muttered Tula all over again.
"We can't risk a firefight with Aqualad ko'ed like this." Robin informed them.
"Let's go, Robin. Celestial and Angel, you two stay here and seeing Kid Flash is going to collapse in a minute whereas Artemis almost run out of arrows." Kitsune ordered as Robin followed her.
"Is Kitsune always bossy?" Kid Flash asks Celestial and Angel curiously.
"Not all the time." Celestial answered.
"Hey, you never said why your dad would want you to ktttk! Me." Kid Flash told Artemis while Angel and Celestial looked curious about it.
"Uh... I got confused by some old movie I saw the other night." Artemis lied and looked away from their eyes. "About a ninja girl whose ninja dad ordered her to kill her ninja boyfriend... cause he was from a rival ninja clan." She rambled and Celestial sweatdropped but remained silent.
"So, I'm your ninja boyfriend, huh?" Kid Flash asks Artemis with a smirk on his face.
"Hey, amnesia, remember?" Artemis snapped him out while Angel sighs at their bickering again. "Completely forgot how truly annoying you are."
"Here we go again." Angel muttered under her breath while Celestial smiled nervously.
"Oh, like you're the Goddess of Congeniality!" Kid Flash retorted back.
"You guys talked so loud." Kitsune and Robin come back.
"They need a room." Robin commented.
"We should get to the bioship." Angel changes the subject and carried Aqualad.
Qurac || September 5, 02:32 EDT ||
Kitsune is cleaning Aqualad's head using the towel. She is curious who Tula is and didn't want to pry more about it.
"Here you go." Kitsune accepts the water from Celestial's offer. "You need more water than we do, considering you're using too much magic."
"Thank you." The Water Dragon Slayer thanked the celestial mage.
"Hey everybody. We've got Superboy." Miss Martian told everyone through telepathic. "He's back to normal and we're on our way."
Aqualad gasped and immediately sitting up straight. "Who are you, and how did you get inside of my head?" The Atlantean asks them curiously.
"Did he forgets that you save his life?" Celestial ask Kitsune in Japanese.
"He's half-conscious and I'm not expecting him to remember me." Kitsune pointed out.
"You need to restore Aqualad's memories." Saber reminded the Martian girl. "Considering Kitsune ordered us while they need Aqualad to rehydrate."
"Hehe..." Miss Martian laughs sheepishly. "I almost forgot about it."
"Aw, man." Kid Flash groaned and still looking for food. "Me, too. I didn't get a souvenir from the mission."
"Don't worry, KF." Saber assured the yellow speedster. "Got the souvenir thing covered."
"Aqualad, you need to lay down." Kitsune gives him instruction. "You were dehydrated due to lack of liquid inside of your system."
"Not to mention, Kitsune used a lot of magic powers to make you stable." Celestial spoke up. "She managed to stable you despite she almost passed out for using it."
"Thank you, Kitsune." Aqualad thanked the nine-tailed fox. "I am forever in your debt."
"No need." Kitsune waves her hand. "All that matters is you're alright."
Aqualad followed her instructions as Miss Martian, Saber and Superboy came back together with a giant sphere with them. Sun Ce went back to the Spirit World right after they save them since it's pointless for him to get back Celestial. Kitsune allowed Miss Martian to restore Aqualad's memories while she's going to take a rest to conserve her magic.
Today is an uneventful day for them to lose memories, excluding Kitsune, for 6 months. They are fortunate enough to Miss Martian because she restored their memories.
