I own nothing but Junior, The Teen Titans and everything else rightfully belong to DC
The Titan of Jump
Chapter 6
The atmosphere was suffocating as Raven hovered before them, her magic slowly seeping out of her and pressing down on all those present, it seemed almost alive the way it reached out wanting to touch something, wanting to hurt something. Nightwing placed his arm out and slowly backed away from his friend, he'd never seen her like this before and he would be lying if he said that she wasn't currently forcing the fear of God into him.
The rest of the group started putting more space between her and them as well, each feeling the emotions running rampant through the air as the world seemed to come to a standstill around them. Darkseid was...cautious about the being that now stood before him, he remembered her vaguely as one of the old teammates of his new weapon, he remembered how easily they fell before the might of his inferior soldier back then...but now.
He glanced up at his currently frozen troops, all of them who were so filled with energy merely waiting for the go-ahead to tear the futile resistance of these heroes to shreds now hovered in the air, none daring to move in the face of this...woman. He noted her blazing yellow eyes were fixed solely upon him, and while he was no stranger to beings wishing to kill him, to the killing intent and eventual desperation to put an end to his unstoppable onslaught, he'd never once felt even the tiniest bit of fear, until now.
"Titan!" he yelled and the reaction was immediate, his soldier burst forth from the platform throwing himself upon the biggest threat before them. He didn't even manage to reach her before with a mere twitch of her taloned finger a mass of purple and black shadows collided with him and carried him off to a whole different part of the city.
Raven refused to even look upon the being that used to be the man she loved, this...thing that stood next to the monster known as Darkseid only managed to further enrage her currently out of control emotions. She could barely keep the slight hold on herself she currently had and knew that if his presence persisted her control would completely slip and this city would be nothing more than a smoking crater in the face of her power.
So she did the only thing she could when he launched himself at her, she got him away...away from what she had become, the monster she was willing to be so that vengeance could be had. The memory of what he used to be surged to the forefront of her mind and with a but a minor thought, the thing was gone from her sight and would be kept properly busy while she exacted her bloody vengeance. Then to make sure he stayed away she looked to Nightwing and the rest of them, now standing away from her as if waiting for an attack...it should have hurt, but the only emotions she could feel at the moment was the despair of how her life turned out, and the unrelenting rage aimed at the so-called God before her.
"Keep that thing busy, while I deal with him," she said not even recognizing her now multilayered voice that sent a bone-deep shiver down everyone's spines.
Nightwing looked into her eyes, trying to see if she was still in there somewhere, and he must have found her because he just gave her a swift nod and mobilized everyone towards the plume of smoke in the distance.
They quickly left, leaving her alone with Darkseid, just the way she wanted it...and with a mighty scream, her dark magic came flooding forth before splitting into an innumerable amount of deep black tentacles that began spearing through each and every Parademon they could find. Their screeches did nothing to ease her rage as she slowly fixed her gaze back upon the one that caused all this, for she would have her revenge, she would have justice, she would kill Darkseid once and for all...even if it killed her.
Titan collided hard with the street, his impact forcing the ground to split and crack apart as the numerous cars around were shot feet into the air before coming down hard, windows shattered and tires blowing out upon impact. The buildings shook as he attempted to get his bearings only for a pitch-black hand to grab his face and raise him back to his feet before a thundering blow sent him careening even further down the street.
He managed to get back to his feet swiftly and locked his blank eyes upon the thing that the mass of dark magic had become, it was tall and wide, a literal wall of a being, pitch black in color with the only deviation being the purple that glowed from behind the sunglasses that formed from the darkness. Its hair was wild and blew in an invisible wind as it stalked forward, its mouth forming an irritated scowl with a pitch-black cigarette hanging from its lips as it got closer.
Even a blind man could tell you what the dark magic had created, but Junior was so far gone, his consciousness had already moved on from this world, so there was no possible way he could recognize the being before him. The old him, the hero, the man that could do anything, this was Raven's feelings and memories of him made manifest through the will of her emotions and magic, the shadows seemed to condense around his frame forming a leather jacket. This wasn't Titan, it wasn't Mutilar...It was Junior before everything started to go wrong in their lives, before she rejected him again and again due to circumstances she couldn't control, before he became a shell of what he used to be, this was the strongest form of Junior in Raven's eyes, and it was here to right a wrong.
By the time the Titans made it to the scene the battle was already underway, and what they saw stunned them all, the shadow being that took the form of their friend in his younger years traded ground shaking blows with it's corrupted and broken future self. Their hands were a blur as they blocked, parried, and struck out at each other in perfect sync with neither one seeming to gain the upper hand as the street beneath their feet cracked and cratered from the force of each strike.
"Yo, this is just weird" Hextech muttered as Titan let loose a right stronger than the previous blows that the shadowy form of Junior met head-on with a punch of its own.
Their fists collided and the force shattered every window around them and once again sent the battered vehicles bouncing into the air. The backlash of the collision proved to be too much for the shadow being as its arm burst into an abyssal cloud, the sudden disappearance of the counterforce managing to throw Titan off balance leaving his face wide open for the shadows crushing left hook that sent him rocketing down the street.
The shadows arm reformed quickly making it whole once more as the Titans moved forward to stand beside it, staring down the unharmed form of Titan that skid to a stop across from them. Nightwing looked at the shadow of his friend only to find it's bright purple orbs gazing upon him, it nodded once before facing forward once more filling the original Titans with a strong sense of nostalgia as Nightwing pulled a tube from his coat that quickly extended into a staff, electricity arcing from both ends, and as the sky began to change into a deep red he pointed his staff at Titan and gave his command.
"Titans Go!"
Darkseid was angry, he was livid beyond measure for once again he faced down the wrath of a being so far beneath him, so insignificant in the grand scheme of the universe that the mere thought of it challenging him was laughable at best. Yet this red-skinned demoness stood before him, decimating his troops with naught but a wave of her hand and the dark magic that filled the air was so potent that it even managed to place a strain upon him.
The bodies of his Parademons fell from the skies by the hundreds, massive holes where their chest cavities should be, bodies missing their entire lower half, severed arms, crushed skulls and so on and so forth. They now littered the streets, their blood coming together to form a dark green river below the two, and all the while this woman didn't bat an eye.
Even as blood came down as thick green rain spattering them both with its disgusting stench she continued staring down upon him as if he was the insect in this situation. This had gone far enough, and with a thought his Omega Beams shot from his eyes and locked on to the woman who dared defy his will, but they never reached their target...for in the next instant Darkseid found himself being drug across the sky a hand wrapped firmly across his face before colliding painfully with the ground.
He swung at the woman but she was gone once again, the sound of splitting metal was heard before a searing pain spread like wildfire across his back and he swung once again hitting nothing but air. He caught sight of her in the sky looking down upon him again, only this time her taloned fingers dripping fresh blood upon the street below. He watched as her hand came up and a forked tongue flicked out to taste the liquid and the grin that followed held far too many teeth.
"It's as disgusting as I'd thought it would be," she said lowly her voice holding near-visible weight as if reality itself was attempting to deny the very sound leaving her mouth.
It was then that Darkseid knew true fear, but most of all it was at this moment he understood what true rage felt like, for it didn't matter what needed to be sacrificed...he needed to see this woman broken before him.
He never noticed the dark tendrils snaking their way towards the platform he once stood upon, nor the sudden disappearance of Superman but a few moments later.
Crush, to put it bluntly, has seen some shit in her relatively short life.
Raised by gypsies and constantly on the move throughout her early life she's seen the worst of humankind despite her parent's best efforts.
"It wouldn't be a tragic backstory if my parents were still alive" she'd often tell people when they asked about her past, and since their deaths, she's done everything she could to find their killer.
Underground fighting rings, learning about where she came from and what she was, then joining the Teen Titans, so you could say she's been around and fought with the best of them...But this, this was something else entirely. She watched from her spot cratered in the side of a building as Kyra rushed Titan who was busy fighting off his shadowy doppelganger and the older members of the Titans.
The girl drug her hand across the ground mid-run as the asphalt seemed to leap up to her arm before encasing her entire body like a second skin, the green-haired girl leapt up and let loose a ferocious double stomp to the back of Titans head, and it did absolutely nothing.
He didn't even glance at the girl as he let loose a backhand with enough force to take her head clean off her shoulders if not for Robin's timely intervention. He came from the shadows and quickly pulled her back by her shoulder letting the hand swing over them, the displaced air letting off a thunderous crack as a crater formed in the building behind them.
Kyra had enough time to press her palm against his pitch-black leg plate letting the material rip itself from his left leg and replace the asphalt that crumbled from her as nothing but dust. They leapt back as her father slid in front of them, his arms taking the form of a gorilla to block the follow-up punch Titan sent towards them, the ground under him cracking from the force but he held it back with a long drawn out grunt. Crush witnessed all of this in the time it took her to wrench herself from the building, and she just shook her head.
"We are so fucked" she muttered before leaping back into action with a roll of her shoulders, a chain whipping out from her left to wrap around her hand.
Starfire was terrified, and Nightwing knew it as he glanced back at her guarding Hextech while the young pink-haired teen did her thing. He leapt back when the body of Shadow Junior slammed into the ground before him, the darkness holding his form exploding out before quickly reforming. Viktor and Garfield were doing what they could to hold Titan off, Viktor's suit torn to shreds from the many different weapons and transformations his body had to undergo just to stay in the fight.
Garfield wasn't looking much better, having to quickly swap body parts and fully transform from animals that have long gone extinct to some that Nightwing has never even seen before just to keep up. The ultra-fine control he had over his body was the only thing keeping him fighting as every broken bone was swiftly changed on a molecular level to something without bones then swapped back in a matter of microseconds quickly repairing the damage but it was taking its toll on the man.
Every transformation was getting increasingly more frantic and outlandish, and his body was hard-pressed to keep up with the constant change his mind demanded it takes. Nightwing sent a few talons sailing towards Titan and they detonated when they hit his face, alleviating some pressure from his quickly tiring friends. Pink energy raced across the ground under Titan before the street just so happened to collapse under his leg trapping him for a moment that Cyborg quickly capitalized on.
He threw his arm back and it exploded into a cloud of millions of nanomachines that quickly reformed into a much larger and far more devastating fist that soon met Titans face, the blow rocketed Titan into the building behind him but the fist shattered upon impact before returning to Cyborg and replacing his arm. The reformation was slower than usual and Cyborg gave his hand a few experimental clenches to make sure everything was still working right, never once taking his eyes off the hole Titan's body made.
Various mechanical parts flew through the air as Hextech worked as fast as she could, light purple energy flared out around her as she systematically warped and modified every piece of tech surrounding her to suit her needs. Starfire stood beside her keeping her safe as her family and team fought that psycho monster that used to be her parent's friend.
"Are you almost done friend Tech?" Starfire asked and though she tried, she couldn't quite keep the panic from her voice, not that she could blame the girl because while she's always been able to keep up a strong front, she was about two seconds from breaking down herself.
"Almost done girl, just let me concentrate'' she replied as she modified the last few pieces and implanted them into her creation, she let out a breath as the 12-foot mechanical creature came online, bright pink lights coming to life from within a blank metal mask.
Just in time too as Titan strolled out of the building he was sent through moments before.
"Sic em boy!" she yelled as the robot shot forward aided by twin thrusters hooked to it's back.
It engaged the target swiftly and managed to get a few good hits in before Titan started to respond in kind, Hextech grimaced as a fist blew its way through the mech but the mechanical beast kept up its assault.
"Alright Marie, no time to waste," she told herself before setting about gathering even more materials from the destruction around her.
She knew they were slowly losing, she knew that anything she could make from the materials available wouldn't be able to do much to this monster, but she'd be damned if she let her parents and friends get hurt without putting up a fight. So she centered herself, ignored the throbbing headache currently making itself known, and focused on making as many weapons and mechs that she could because if her dad taught her anything, it's that there was no such thing as a limit.
Robin grimaced as he pulled Kyra out of harm's way once more, Nightwing giving them much needed cover with a well-aimed smokescreen to Titans face, a wrecked pile of scrap metal was all that remained of Hextech's mech but he could see the various different components flying through the air above them so he was confident another creation was on its way.
They pulled back a bit from the battle letting Cyborg and Beast Boy rejoin Shadow Junior at the front, Kyra tried to keep smiling but he could tell she was losing energy fast as the black alien material she got from Titan's leg plate shifted and shuddered as it tried to keep covering her lithe body. Robin let out a growl when he saw the older heroes get bat aside as Shadow Junior fought Titan alone once more, they needed a change of pace quickly otherwise he feared they would eventually be overwhelmed and beaten. Kyra pulled herself gently from his grasp as she got herself together once more, the black material shifting itself to settle comfortably across her body as she gave Robin a confident smile.
"Well? Let's get back in there Rob!" she said brightly before throwing herself at danger once more, Robin was quick to follow his keen eyes picking up everything they could on the situation so he could predict Titan's next move.
They threw themselves upon him in sync, Robin efficiently guiding Kyra around Titans blows with each push and pull and she let him, taking every chance presented to land a crushing blow, her armored skin empowering her every strike. He pulled her back behind him as a powerful haymaker struck where her head was just a split second ago, one of his swords came up to parry the blow and get them some extra breathing room but it was ripped from his fingers on contact.
His hand grew numb but Kyra was quick to use his body like a pole to swing herself around and land a dropkick to Titans facemask, Robin grabbed her hands and spun her around landing a second devastating blow which managed to push him back a step. They took the chance to backstep as Shadow Junior stepped up once more, taking the opening and rushing Titan down with a barrage of blows so fast they could barely keep up.
Titan pushed through the punishment quickly however and snapped out with a crushing right hand that sent the shadow crashing into the building behind them black smoke dispersing around the impact area before snapping back to reform him. He seemed fine and was quick to jump back into the fray but he couldn't escape the keen eyes of Robin, one startling observation left him feeling just a tad bit more despair, the fact that Shadow Junior a being made purely from Raven's magic was now missing the black cigarette that once hung from its lips.
For the first time since the battle started Raven now found herself on the defensive, weaving in and out of buildings as Darkseid crashed through them in hot pursuit, his normally stoic visage now a mask of pure unadulterated rage. Omega beams seared past her form as she flew nimbly through the air, despite Darkseid's best efforts it seemed that the ability to catch the demon woman was still out of his reach.
Black tendrils slammed into his form and crushed him to the earth below as a black raven descended from the heavens only to explode once it made contact with his prone body. He roared once the dust settled and leapt into the air once more burns covering his gray skin and eyes glowing with the promise of unending pain, Raven only scowled and resumed her evasive maneuvers.
She could feel the power behind every strike he threw, buildings toppled and the ground shook more and more littering the earth with cracks and fissures. His strength seemed to grow with his rage and Raven once again felt her mind wander to that of the one who bested him before, how strong Junior must have been in the last moments of his life to face this being head-on and crush him.
She steeled herself, her magic beginning to calm itself from the raging storm it once was, she had to push her power even further than what he had if she was to stop this being from taking anything else from her. She halted abruptly and the omega beams were stopped dead by a pitch-black shield that quickly pushed back colliding with Darkseid before wrapping around him like a cocoon.
She sent it high into the air, her mind straining to keep the cocoon intact as he raged inside, more of her dark power rushed up to meet the black prison merging with it and condensing. More and more magic flowed into and around the prison as Raven willed it to condense further and further until it became nothing more than a floating orb in the sky, filled with untold amounts of energy. A bead of sweat made its way down her face before with a grunt of exertion she let all of the restrained magic burst forth at once.
Day turned to night in an instant as darkness swept over the city, the force of the explosion shattering windows and knocking Darkseid's flagship out of the sky, it hit the waters of Jump and the resulting waves toppled the unlucky buildings lining the edge of the city. Water ran down the streets as the sunlight slowly began to pierce the dark magics filling the sky above, Raven watched as Darkseid collided with the earth punching through a few buildings on his way down before lying still in a crater.
She felt the magic keeping her summon on this plane of existence waning as she stared down upon the smoking and unmoving form of Darkseid, a cruel smirk crossed her features before darting off towards the battle raging near her.
Nightwing shuddered when another wave of magic fell over the city, the amount of emotion that fell upon the group was almost too much to handle though Titan seemed wholly unaffected as he took the chance to bat away Shadow Junior once more before moving on to the stunned Crush who fell swiftly before his blows. The mechanical parts floating around them fell to the ground as Hextech let out a shudder and gasp and Starfire fell to her knees, Robin and Nightwing had an easier time keeping themselves together silently thanking Batman for his training as they engaged Titan to give the rest of their team time to recenter themselves.
Titan had other plans, his gaze instantly locked onto the two girls at the backline of the formation, one obviously set there for protection while the other was more than likely responsible for the mechanical beast that attacked him earlier. Robin and Nightwing went ignored as they assaulted his body with their ineffective weaponry as he made a mad dash for the pair, intent on taking them out of the fight permanently.
"Hex! Starfire! Get out of there!" Nightwing roared as he was bat aside, quickly picking up on Titan's goal as he ignored the hail of batarangs thrown by Robin.
Starfire was still struggling to stand when she heard him call out to her, she quickly spotted Titan rushing towards them and her heart nearly stopped, her eyes grew wide as green energy filled her hands and her eyes lit up. A salvo of star bolts left her hands and struck the advancing monster but they did nothing to stop his dash, her breathing began to grow erratic as he grew closer, those blank white eyes locked solely upon her. Her legs refused to move and her arms just continued to lob bolt after bolt at him to no avail.
It was when he was nearly upon her that her mind went blank with fear, and her body took action without her mind's command.
The rest of the team had to shield their eyes as all the energy stored within Starfires body came together and was expelled all at once, concentrated into a bright green beam and impacted and quickly overtook the advancing Titan, a small trench was formed from the heat of the beam as Titan was forced back down across the street. It ended as quickly as it began and the light left Starfire's eyes as she collapsed into the arms of an almost recovered Hex.
Nightwing rushed over to them with a shout of alarm, and when he reached them Hex quickly allowed him to take the girl and refocused on building her next machine, Nightwing looked her over and came to the conclusion that she was merely unconscious. He let out a sigh of relief before looking back to see Titan get back to his feet, steaming but ultimately unharmed.
So he gently laid Starfire down next to Hex, as Jennifer took up the mantle of protecting her daughter, before rejoining the fight, his mind already racing with plans of getting Starfire back home where she belonged.
He sent out another wave of Talons at Titan before quickly placing a finger to his ear to contact someone outside of the city as the earth beneath their feet rocked once more.
"Status" he grunted and the communicator was silent for a moment before a woman's voice replied between gasping breaths.
"I'm keeping the tremors localized but I don't know for how much longer" she replied as Nightwing ducked and rolled away from another of Titan's blows.
Robin was quick to hop on Titans shoulders and place multiple explosive birdarangs on his head before leaping away as they detonated.
"Just do what you can, we can't let these tremors loose upon the world, I don't know how much more it can take" he sighed and after hearing her agreeance he cut the call and watched as Titan walked from the smoke of the explosion unharmed.
Nightwing cursed as Titan quickly beared down upon him only to be stopped by an unfinished mechanized construct, it was missing an arm and half of its face but it was enough to let Nightwing fall back beside Viktor. They prepared themselves for his pursuit but were caught off guard when he simply tossed the mech at them and shot straight for the creator once more, and this time without Starfire to protect her Hextech gasped and tried to retreat but fell back to the ground when her head pulsed and blood dripped from her nose.
Jennifer was quick to unleash a hail of pink and energy blasts at the approaching Titan but they did little to slow him down, it was then that a pair of shadowy arms wrapped around his torso and lifted him back into a street cracking suplex. Shadow Junior stood up seeming less defined as he once was, his leather jacket was gone and a bit of his features were shaky at best but he still stood tall before Titan ready to continue the fight.
Titan pulled his head from the ground with a jerk as Shadow Junior took a familiar stance, he slumped forward a bit and took an almost wide-legged boxer stance. Nightwing quickly remembered what this was, but Titan on the other hand didn't hesitate to rush the shadow with a haymaker.
Shadow Junior ducked under the arm and unleashed two punches to his abdomen much faster than his previous but held almost none of the same impact before hopping back a few steps and falling back into his stance. Titan pushed forward again faster than before only to hit nothing but air and receive a few more blows to the face, again and again, this went on as the two moved faster and faster up and down the street until they were nothing but blurs as the rest of the Titans got themselves back together...they never saw the Shadows eyes flash a familiar green.
Jennifer and Viktor rushed over to Hextech picking her up and checking her over as Garfield made his way over to Kyra, the black material covering her body shook and shuddered before falling away as black dust leaving her in nothing but her tank top and jean shorts. She was only being held up by Robin who seemed a bit unsteady himself, his normally tame black hair sticking up at odd angles and his uniform covered in dust, torn in places and the armor cracked in others.
Nightwing went to help Crush out of another crater before pulling her over to sit by Starfire who was beginning to wake up. He looked around at his friends and team before finally looking at Starfire, and he knew what he had to do, she didn't belong in this mess, she didn't have to see this future...she didn't have to die at the hands of this corrupted and empty version of their former friend.
He wouldn't let that happen.
Viktor read the various status reports on his body as they flashed across his eyes, his energy levels were reading at 25% and there were more than a few million nanomachines that needed to enter a repair cycle. Overall his body was far away from being battle-ready and every movement felt stiff and awkward, but none of that mattered as he tended to his daughter who was barely holding on to consciousness.
"Man my head hurts'' she whispered as her face scrunched up from the pain, Jennifer placed her hand across her forehead and it seemed to ease the pain just a bit.
Viktor went about wiping the blood from under her nose as he scanned her for any other injuries, but luckily there was nothing aside from the backlash of overusing her powers. He looked around them as another particularly loud crash echoed throughout the city but couldn't find the two beings currently battling it out, he let out a sigh and just assessed the situation for a moment while they had the chance. He noticed Nightwing doing the same and could make a solid guess as to what was going through his mind, another street cracking crash rang out and he even spotted one of the buildings about a mile out crash to the ground.
"Things sure have escalated," Jennifer said quietly holding her daughter's head in her lap attempting to soothe what must have been the mother of all headaches currently pounding away in Marie's skull.
"I still remember a time when the worst we had to worry about was Cinderblock wrecking a couple of streets'' Viktor said with a strained smile.
"Now we're dealing with an interplanetary invasion fighting beings that could crack the earth in half if they wanted too" she sighed laying her head across his shoulder.
He placed his arm around her shoulders and just shook his head, at just how much times have changed.
"How are we going to get through this one?" she asked quietly as another plume of smoke rose into the air about a mile out.
"Dick's coming up with something, he always does" he replied rubbing her arm in a soothing gesture.
"Have any idea what that something would be?" she asked but he just kept silent, not wanting to upset her with what he expected the plan to be, but you don't stay married to someone for this long without being able to pick up on things like that so she leaned away to get a better look at his face.
"I'm not going to like this plan am I" she stated evenly and he shook his head, she stared at him for a few moments more before returning to her previous position, trusting him to know what he was doing.
Shadow Junior was not having an easy time, ever since his birth mere hours ago his prime motivation was keeping this being away from Raven, the secondary objective was born during those hours and that was to keep the others alive. The power of Raven's magic was the only thing keeping him on this plane of existence, it fueled each blow and reformed him after every dispersal of his body.
He could feel it beginning to waver however, each reformation leaving out a small part of the whole, each strike held less power and every block left him feeling weaker. He couldn't remember what came over him to take on this stance, he couldn't fathom where these new moves and tactics came from but Shadow Junior was grateful all the same.
With this new and oddly familiar knowledge fueling his efforts in the fight he found himself using less of the dwindling magic this body was created from which kept it in the fight far longer than if it kept on the way it did earlier. It was an odd experience however, because every now and again he could feel his body do things without any input, felt a bit of a disconnection from the magic that created him whenever he lashed out at an impossibly small opening.
This creature it was fighting was relentless and far from savage but every strike was expertly dodged and every opening was taken for everything it was worth. Shadow Junior knew what he was, a manifestation of Raven's memories, a figment of the man she loves, and while that gave it adequate information on the fighting style of the being before him. That couldn't possibly explain the instantaneous reactions to this modified fighting style Titan was currently utilizing.
It was as if something was guiding the movements of this body, something that had in-depth knowledge of the beast before him. And while Shadow Junior was perfectly fine with letting this mysterious presence guide this bodies fists and feet, it knew that sooner or later there wouldn't be enough magic to sustain him and that he would no longer be of use to Raven or her friends, Shadow Junior could only hope that they could triumph over this seemingly unstoppable foe once this body finally dispersed...
And it was after these thoughts that the world went dark, and the city trembled with far more force than any other quake that came before it, buildings fell around the two until finally, they fell on top of the two beings...and only one of them had the strength to break their way through the untold tons of steel and concrete.
