Yuki: Okay! Karsap doesn't own Digimon or Teen Titans, but he owns Me Yuki Hata.
Titans Tower-Day
It was another beautiful day in Jump City an the Teen Titans were relaxing at the Tower since not much was going on. Yuki, Kotemon, Beast Boy, and Cyborg were watching TV, Robin and Starfire were in the kitchen, and Raven was reading one of her books at the couch. Things were definitely still awkward after what happened for the last four days with Slade and Robin donning the mask of Red X. After returning the chips, Robin sealed the Red X suit away, never to be seen or used again. There was still a little bit of tension left but not as bad as the day after, where none of the Titans really trusted Robin with being in charge and there were times that Starfire had to step in to stop the arguments. Eventually the tension started to go away but it was still there.
Suddenly Kotemon smelled something foul in the air. He took a couple more sniffs and definitely smelled something foul.
"Something wrong?" Robin asked from the kitchen stools.
"Do you not smell that?" The Digimon asked. The other Titans took a smell as well.
"Smells really...really...re-" Beast Boy said before suddenly passing out.
"BB?!" Cyborg yelled until he passed out as well.
"What is going-" Starfire said until she passed out. Robin went to go help her but passed out soon after. Yuki quickly cover his nose and mouth but was slowly started to feel the effects. He and Kotemon looked over to Raven who pass out as well.
"Raven..." Kotemon said before he passed out too, "Kote...mon..." Yuki said before falling to the ground with his hand reaching to his Digimon partner. As things started to go black, the Tamer saw the door open but failed to see who the intruder was before things went black.
Unknown Location
"*GASP*" Robin snapped his eyes open with a huge gasp as he sat up against a polished wooden chair. He looked around to survey the area: The place was large, partly lit atrium with several balconies running around the walls, as well as painting lining the walls. He looked at the floor and noticed it was tiled in a black and white checkerboard pattern. He looked at his wrists and saw them securely bound to the armrests of his chair while his ankles were bound to the front legs. He applied force to the restraints, but couldn't break free.
As he struggled, the lights of the room came on fully to show one Titan except for Kotemon after another also clamped into chairs. They except for Kotemon were all half-conscious, but came around with assorted groans, each having an additional binding: red energy ring around Starfire's wrists, steel straps over Cyborg's chest, a white energy band encircling Raven's, a giant rubber ban on Beast Boy's, Yuki had the same bindings as Robin's, and as for Kotemon he had two magnets side-by-side of him and was frozen stiff and in a daze due to the magnets.
"What?" The bionic Titan questioned when he came to, noticing the large metal bands that kept him in place.
"Huh? Am I the only one who has no idea where we are?" The green teen asked as he look around the large room.
"Why, you're right where you belong, my duckies." A male voice, with a heavy Cockney accent, called out. The six bound and conscious teens looked to the source of the voice and saw a man standing at an open set of double doors on a balcony atop a long staircase. The man was standing in front of a light that obscured his details, but they were able discern a cane in one hand. "You're in school!" Their captor cheered as he leapt onto the banister of the nearby staircase and slid down it. Once he landed in front of the team, every detail about him was revealed.
The man was in his early forties, and had red hair in a Beatles style cut with mutton chop sideburns, small rectangular sunglasses, a sport coat with the design of the British Union Jack flag, black shirt, white kerchief ted at the neck, white pants, and brown shoes with black socks. The cane he held was topped with a large ruby. "That's right, lads and loveys. You're the only students at Mad Mod's Institute for Bratty Teenage Do-Gooders." The British man now known as Mad Mod, explained before tossing the cane high from his left hand and catching it with his right. "And it's high time someone taught you sprogs a lesson."
On his last words, white light flared from the ruby as he held out the cane in front of the bound teens.
"Uh-oh." Beast Boy groaned as the crazy Englishman strolled leisurely toward them.
"Titans! Move!" The Boy Wonder shouted as he tried to break free of his binds. Try as they might, the other five teens were unable to do so. Beast Boy even cycled though lizard an cobra forms in an attempt to escape.
Their evil captor pranced around the foot of the stairs while he twirled his cane, apparently finding the teens' attempts at escaping rather amusing "My starbolts are useless!" Starfire cried, as she couldn't from her energy around her hands.
"Specially designed chairs, love." Mad Mod said as he leaned into her face, "Can't have those nasty superpowers disrupting my lecture now, can I?"
"Get away from her!" Robin growled.
The evil Brit straightened up, glanced over at the spiky-haired Titan, and then shoved the cane into his face. It's ruby flared up anew, more intensely, causing the poor Boy Wonder to recoil into his chair.
"Now don't get your knickers in a twist, my little snot." The mutton chopped man chuckled as he backed off and paced in front of the other Titans; "I didn't go to all the trouble of building this school an filling your Tower with knockout gas just to finish you off lickety-split."
"Then what do you want?" Raven asked angrily.
"Just what I said, dearie." The Brit said as he leaned closer to her, "To teach you lot a lesson!" He added as he turned away an scratched his rear, much to everyone's chagrin, "Yes, I've been watching you children misbehave. And I hate misbehaving children." Mad Mod said as he pointed the cane to his right. The six bound and conscious Titans looked over to the wall he pointed and saw a picture of the teacher, done in the style of Andy Warhol. It turned around and showed Cyborg and Raven beating on Thunder and Lightning, "Fighting crime." The Brit stated as another such painting swiveled around and showed Robin and Starfire cradling kittens they rescued from a blazing fire behind them, "Saving lives." A third painting flipped over to show Beast Boy as a green dog pulling down Plasmus' shorts while one final painting flipped to showed Kotemon as Musyamon defeating Devimon, and Asuramon defeating Arukenimon in in two separate images, "Interfering with the plans of hardworking villains. Why, you lot are nothing but a bunch of troublemakers!"
"Says the villain who kidnapped us," Yuki said pointing out the obvious while he smirks as Mad Mod turns to the Tamer and shoved the cane into his face. "You my lad are the worse of them all." The evil Brit said as the images that showed Yuki's Teammates and Digimon partner changed to show scenes that Yuki is with Starfire and Raven, but altered to show something horrible, "Whatever you got close to the loveys here you get a little flirtatious and giving them a kiss without their permissions." He said as the Tamer got wide eyed at it.
"Wait I never did-" Yuki protest but the evil Brit hits the Tamer on the head with his cane. "Ow!" he yelled. "But you'll learn your place soon enough." Mad Mod taunted as he goes to stand in front of Cyborg. "You see, I'm older than you, so I'm bigger, badder and better."
"Say wh-" Cyborg cried as he too was bashed with the cane. "Ow!"
"You're in my world now. And you won't be getting out 'til you've learned some proper respect," Mad Mod stated.
"We will get out. And when we do-" Robin threatened.
-BRIIIIING-
"Oh dear, there's the bell my duckies," he said giving the seven a two-fingered salute. "Off to class," he said as the floor tiles began dropping out beneath each Titan except for Kotemon who was on a big tile that the Digimon and Yuki was on, dropping them to who-knows-where.
Yuki open his eyes to find himself still bound to his chair and Kotemon next to him still had two magnets side-by-side of him, frozen stiff and in a daze due to the magnets. 'Still not smart, he had Kotemon close to me.' he thought as Mad Mod called out on the PA system, "Alright class. Today in Sex Ed we're going to watch a little movie!"
'Really Sex Ed this guy's nuts.' The Tamer thought, "Ooh, a movie!" he said sarcastically, "What's it called?" Yuki asked as the PA system answered the question, "It's called Hypno-Screen!" it answered as the chalk board and all the walls around them turned into a hypnotizing whirl of black and white. 'Hypnotizing me really, maybe I'll trick him to let me and Kotemon go.' he thought as he thought of the escape. "Hey Mad Mod if you want to teach me and Kotemon Sex Ed why don't you let us go and have the Hypno-Screen get us!" he called as the PA system replied, "Not a bad idea lad." it said as the bounds on his chair was removed, at the same time the two magnets side-by-side of the Digimon was retracted which made the Rookie go back to normal.
"Ugh what happen?" Kotemon asked after he shook his head, unaware of what's going on. "To make a long story short, a mad Brit kidnapped us and we need to find the others." Yuki said as he took out the Digivolution card as the PA system called out, "Hey you're not going anywhere, lads. No one leaves the classroom unless I said so." it said making the Digimon confused, "Well I guess you be sending us to detention Mod." Yuki said.
*Cue DigiModify! Blank track*
With that said Yuki whirls the Digivolution card around catching it in his hands he then swipes the card through the D-Arc "Digi-Modify..." as he shouted letting the data of the card run through it, "...Digivoltion Activate!"
*Cue Digimon Tamers~Digivolution Theme (US)*
The words DIGIVOLUTION appeared on Yuki's D-Arc and it begins the Digivoultion process with Kotemon shouting "Kotemon...Digivole to...Musyamon!"
This made PA system called out, "Oh really then okay, I've got my own little discipline committee to straighten the both of you's out!" At the last word, busts that have Mad Mod's head came out of the walls and revealed weapons that looked like they would be dreadful.
"Yeah and next time, do more research on Digimon before you enroll them Mod." Yuki smirk as he turned to Musyamon, "You know what to do Musyamon." He said, "Right, Shogun Sword!" Musyamon shouted as flames form on the blade of his Shiratori-maru and took the shape of the ghost-like dragon made of flames to impact on the busts, not only did it destroy the busts it also make a giant hole in the wall. "Right let's get out of here," Yuki said as he and Musyamon go though the hole to go find the others.
Elsewhere, a man sounding similar to the one who had kidnapped the Titans, but appearing twenty years older with most of the hair atop his head gone, was sitting in front of bank of monitors showing each Titan in separate classrooms, and saw the partners escaping their classroom.
"Blimy I can't believe that he tricked me, well no matter they can't find the others in time." he said, but as soon as he said that he noticed that Robin found Starfire and Cyborg found Raven.
Back with Yuki and Musyamon they where running down the halls with the latter taking out traps that Mad Mod set for them as said evil Brit called out on the PA system once more, "Run, my duckies! Run all you like-but you'll never get out!"
Then the Tamer and Digimon came to a door that's marked with symbols of the chemical elements, "The Chemistry Lab! One of the others must be in here." Yuki said as he open the door and both went in, inside the two found a room filled with giant beakers, test tubes filled with solutions, a giant microscope and a Bunsen burner, and models of molecules.
At the same time Robin and Starfire crashed though the ceiling as the Tamer and Digimon ran up to them, "Wow Robin, Starfire are you two okay?" Musyamon asked. "We are fine friend Musyamon where did you and friend Yuki's captor send you?" Starfire asked the two, "Sex Ed." Yuki answered, "Where did Mod send-" before the Tamer finished his question Mad Mod called out on the PA system.
"It's no good procrastinating, really." They heard the instructors' voice speak again as the four walked further into the room, "Because sooner or later you'll four end up like him."
"Beast Boy!" Robin cried as the four of them reached the end of the lab, where a few desks were set up.
At the front of the classroom, an overhead projector screen hung down from the ceiling at an angle; the hypnotic patter play across it. Once the four freed members of the team reached the chair that was front and center, they saw their shape-sifting friend siting motionless, wearing a dunce cap, fully under the screens' spell with drool running down his chin as he babbled incoherently.
"Ah, yeah. A model student, that one. Lovely. Sits there, quietly, never thinks about misbehaving-mater of fact, he never thinks at all!" it said as it laughed.
"Beast Boy! Awaken!" The Tamaranian waved her left hand in front of the hypnotized teens' face while Yuki and Musyamon look around the room as Robin use his tiny torch on the restraints, "Your friends are here!" She said as she removed the dunce cap on his head. "Beast Boy?" She try once again to snap her friend out of his trance by actually snapping her fingers, to no avail. She then glance over to the Hypno-Screen and walked toward it, warming up a starbolt to destroy it.
"Wait!" The Boy Wonder called out as he ran to her and grabbed her wrist, stopping her from firing as Yuki and Musyamon walked up "Um why?" the Champion asked as Robin turn to them, "Trust me." he said, "We don't know if that should work Musyamon," The Digimon's Tamer added.
Soon after, sounds of test tubes their stoppers could be heard from around the room. The four Titans scanned the room and saw all the chemicals in the place boil over, spilling colorful slop across the floor. This odd combination of fluids proved to be acidic as it began dissolving desks when it reach them.
"Here's your hall pass." The Boy Wonder said as he freed Beast Boy from the chair and handed him to Starfire. "Meet you outside."
With a nod, the Tamaranian flew away as Robin turn to Yuki and Musyamon, "Yuki and Musyamon follow-" but before he finish the Tamer took out his D-Arc, and pulled out his Agility card. "Yeah we know." Yuki said.
*Cue DigiModify! Blank track*
He spins the selected card around gaining it in his hand then he slide it threw the card slot. "Digi-Modify!" he pauses letting the card read thew "Agility Activate!"
With that Musyamon picks up his Tamer and leapfrogged along the disintegrated desks to traverse the lab with Robin behind. Riding one like a surfboard across the dangerous liquid, they approached the door that Yuki and Musyamon came in now Starfire now stood. With one final vault(jump for Musyamon), the three bounced off one of the giant molecular models before diving through the door, where Robin finally slammed it shut, fully ridding themselves of the hazardous room as the Champion placed his Tamer down.
After safely returning to the main trim, the four coherent Titans placed their babbling green friend against the large staircase, where he crumbled to the floor.
"Beast Boy?" Starfire asked with concern as she knelt down next to the changeling who begin drooling all over his clothes. "It is I, Starfire. Please! Speak to me!" She tried grabbing his right hand, "Beast Boy?" She then grabbed his head and shook it, "Beast Boy?" She called out louder. Nothing seemed to work as she tried knocking on his head a couple of times. For one final attempt to snap the green teen out of the trance he was in, she inhaled deeply as her head grew too many times normal size. "BEEEEEEAAAAAASSSSSSTTTTTT BOOOOOOYYYYYY!" The Tamaranian shouted with enough force to push the boy's face back n his skull.
The force of the shout was enough to leave Robin, Yuki, and Musyamon a bit stunned, with the former two shoved their fingers in their ears to protect them while the latter cringed. When Starfire finally let up, Beast Boy only drooled and babbled some more before kneeling over.
"Uh, Star? I don't think that's working." The Boy Wonder pointed out as he look at his fallen teammate.
"But we must do something or he will remain this way forever." The worried alien said as Beast Boy sat up, wavered a bit, and tumbled against her midsection, smearing drool against her.
The next moment, the sound of a door opening rang throughout the atrium. "Mad Mod! Come on!" Robin said hushing Starfire as he ran to the side of one of the stairs, Yuki, Musyamon, and Stafrire joined him, the latter holding the unconscious Beast Boy in her arms. "We'll hie here and then take him by surprise." He turned back to face the direction the door opened, but a little bit of random mumbling from the hypnotized Titan got on his nerves. "Any way to keep him quiet?"
Thinking quickly, Starfire clapped a hand over the slack mouth of the changeling, only to shudder mightily as drool oozed though her fingers, the Tamer and Digimon was seriously grossed out. Seeing the noise problem was taking care of, Robin peeked over the side of the stairs and saw a shadow approaching. He quickly duck back briefly before he, the Tamaranian, the Tamer, and the Digimon leapt out, the Boy Wonder's foot extended for a flying kick, her hands ready to fire starbolts, the Tamer took out his D-Arc and one of his best cards, and the Champion started to swing his Shiratori-maru.
It was at that moment the Tamer first realized who it really was "Wait it's-" Yuki said as Robin was suspended by black magic above Cyborg's head, who head, who had his sonic cannon pointed at Starfire's chest, her own fists glowing green inches away from his chest Musyamon's Shiratori-maru hovering away from Raven's throat, who also coated it in black energy, then everyone relaxed dropping their stances.
"Cyborg! Raven!" Starfire cried as she dispelled her energy, "Oh, how we are glad we are glad to see you!"
Just as relived to have found their missing friends, Cyborg and Musyamon disarmed themselves while Raven put Robin back on the ground. "This place is making me crazy!" The masked Titan voiced his annoyance.
"Tell me about it Mad Mod's wacked-out computer lab nearly crashed my hard drive." The bionic teen explained.
"Where did our captor send you?" Starfire asked the gloomy mage.
Raven open her cloak partially and revealed that a white jersey with a large zero on it's front had taken the place of her usual outfit. "Gym" She stated flatly as Yuki tried to hold his laughter.
"Anybody seen BB?" Cyborg asked.
The answer to his question came from the sound of babbling on the ground. All six teammates looked toward the floor and saw their shape-shifting friend slithering along like a inchworm, with copious amounts of saliva lubricating the path.
Before anyone could ask, Robin spoke up, "Mad Mod's hypno-screens." He explained, "We can't snap him out of it. We've tried everything."
"Did you tried this?" The metallic teen picked the unfortunate Titan off the ground and leaned to the side of his head. Pulling Beast Boy's ear wide open, he unleashed a major-league -BUUURRRRP- into it.
"Nice one! Hahahaha!" The changeling laughed, completely shaken out of his trance. His laughter died down as he looked around the room. "Uh... how did I get here and why am I covered in drool?"
"Wonderful! Now we need only to locate an ext." Starfire cheered.
"Or just keep blasting 'til we make one." Cyborg smirked as he brought out his cannon.
"I'm all for that idea." Musyamon agree as he grinned maliciously as his yellow eyes change to red a little that no-one noticed.
"Easy. Last thing I smashed tried to smash me back." Robin told him, "I'm sure this place is booby-trapped."
"Then how are we supposed to get out?" Beast Boy asked as he wiped all the saliva from his body.
"We're not." Raven answered, "Don't you get it? Mad Mod's just gonna keep messing with us until-"
"We mess with him." The Boy Wonder exclaimed, "that cane of his controls everything in here. We take the cane-"
"-we take control-" Cyborg adds before Beast Boy adds one more.
"-and take him down!" The greenling grinned maliciously as he began crossing the floor. "Oh, I'll find him. That demented doofus is never hypnotizing me again!" At his last word, a painting on the wall popped out and swung to face him, showing the hypnotic ring pattern. In no time flat, he was salivating, gurgling, and stumbling to the floor as Starfire an up to catch him as the painting-turned-hypno-screen receded back into the wall.
"Well so much for that." Yuki stated as he did a face palm.
"Come on." Mad Mod's voice called out to them. The six non-hypnotize heroes looked to the end the room and saw their villainous teacher rise though a trick black tile in the floor, "Won't you lot ever learn?" Mad Mod asked rhetorically as he balanced the can on one finger before twirling it in his hand, "You're in my world, my duckies. You can't win." He taunted as he pressed the ruby on the top. The doors behind him opened and with that, he was off in a heartbeat.
"Titans! GO!" Robin exclaimed as he ran after the evil Brit. Cyborg, Raven, Yuki, and Musyamon followed suit, leaving Starfire tend to the green shape-shifter.
"But how do I-" the Tamaranian asked.
"Make him laugh!" The titanium Titan called over his shoulder before he and the others ran though the door.
Starfire found herself standing alone, supporting the hypnotized Titan by his armpits. After a moment, she hoisted him up to look him in the eye. "How many Okaarans dose it take to hoegee a morflank?" The Tamaranian asked with a huge smile stretched across her face, "Finbarr!" Shewas sure the greenling would have been rolling on the ground laughing until his lung gave out if he were Tamaranian, but since he wasn't, there was no change in his mumbling and driveling. After thinking for a second, Starfire spoke again, "Um... boo-gers?" She then asked.
"Hahahaha! Boogers!" Beast Boy laughed, snapping out of the trance again. "Aw, man!" he cried as he realized that Mad Mod had hypnotized him again.
Now that he was coherent, Starfire yanked the green teen by the wrist to join in the chase.
*Cue K2G by Puffy AmiYumi*
Mad Mod was now wearing goggles and a sheepskin coat and helmet over his suit as he zoomed along on a motor scooter with the Titans in hot pursuit. They were running down a hallway lined with various pictures of the villainous teacher; among them was one of him in his Union Jack sport coat with a bunch of bananas hiding his face. Once the group of heroes passed the picture, the redhead Brit pulled the bananas away and glared at the team before throwing the fruit down the far end of the hall. The insane instructor then jumped from the painting and ran down the opposite end with the Titans soon following.
Back on his scooter, Mad Mod down the hall as the seven heroes did likewise. However, they soon found themselves running for their lives in the direction they came as the villainous educator chased them while firing an enormous bazooka time after time.
After running out of ammo, and slipping into a nearby room Mad Mod led the Titans to a wide room that had the floor and ceiling marked with a lattice of large holes. The villain rolled in on his scooter again and dropped out of sight. The Titans tried to follow, but the hole solidified and blocked them. As Robin drummed his fingers on the floor, the villainous teacher popped back up two spots over, without his scooter. The team leader ran to grab him, but suddenly dropped though the hole between him and the educator. Beast Boy transformed into a tiger to jump after the villain but missed when is target rose though a hole in the ceiling, the others sticking their heads down a black hole each with their heads coming out at impossible places. Cyborg then picked up a hole and held it sideways, Yuki and Musyamon examining it before they and Cyborg entered it from opposite ends before the hole dropped like a manhole cover, Starfire jumping for it before shrugging and dropping out of sight when it ceased to be solid. Alone Raven's eyes darted around the room as the other's heads began popping out of the other holes like a Wack-a-Mole game gone haywire, she was scared into a hole when Cyborg peeped up with his head much larger than normal. A moment all seven leapt from the holes and regrouped, only this time with musical instruments and dressed in the sort of garish cloths often used by British bands of the 1960s except for Musyamon. Robin held a guitar, Cyborg held a bass, Raven was standing behind a keyboard, Beast Boy had a bowl cut and was seated behind a drum set, Starfire held a tambourine, and Yuki was holding a microphone while Musyamon was beside him. Soon after, Mad Mod drove past, leaning back on the seat, and the Titans that was dressed zipped out of their new threads to give chase.
The seven heroes soon found themselves running up a winding staircase as they pursued the British villain. He was powering his scooter up the incline while they raced along for all they were worth. Reaching a door at the top of the stairs, Mad Mod pressed the cane's ruby, turning the stairs into a slide. Raven, and Starfire floated above the surface as they watched the five others slide down. At the bottom, a hatch opened and a short stretch of stairs emerged, turning itself into a set of snapping jaws.
Beast Boy screamed and became an octopus as the five neared the floor. The two flyers made it down and grabbed a tentacle to pull him back up. As they progressed, Robin crashed into the green octopus, , and then panic just in time to get four hundred pounds of bionic Titan plowed into his face. Dazed from the impact, the Boy Wonder sat up and glared at the metallic teen as he grinned sheepishly who then followed by the Tamer and the Champion.
The chase then led the entire group into a long hallway with many doors on either side. At the end of the hallway a Mad Mod bust stood. Said teacher the bust was modeled after rode in and, as the Titans slid through in a heap, exited through a far door. Beast Boy reverted to human form and stood there slightly dazed while the other six bolted to the other end. The changeling ran across the hall and soon had a green dog nipping at his heels. Robin peeked out of another door, caught sight of the redhead, and ran toward him while Cyborg crossed the hall. After the bionic left, a green gorilla shambled through and just missed the crazy instructor riding a "penny-farthing" bicycle. Starfire and Raven soon flew through two other doors, exchanging doors as they passed each other. Yuki and Musyamon then went out of a far end door just in time to see two other doors down the hall flip open, one to the ceiling, the other to the ground, and Mad Mod driving across in an old-style roadster. Once he was out of sight, climbed the tracks after him before the doors could close again. The bionic Titan came in again from a nearby door and ran to the end of the hallway; this time his size didn't shrink, forcing him to crawl through the end door. The Boy Wonder then dashed out close to the back wall and toward a near door; his size also didn't change and he was left tiny, as he had to jump up to grab a door and open it.
It's a complete madhouse. Starfire charged through the hallway again, this time riding a green ostrich, and Mad Mod-now wearing a coonskin cap atop his suit-paddled a canoe across the floor. Raven flew out and floated for just a moment before a gargantuan green gerbil ran across; her eyes popped in surprise as she followed it out. After that, Robin ran into the hall and watched as the other six Titans run past him; a green whale slid past with Yuki and Musyamon holding onto its' tail at one point, then the other four dashed through a lower panel of a door, accompanied by a small green elephant, and through another panel as perspective-tricked miniatures.
Robin then saw a green penguin fly past, followed by the other five Titans and the sixth as a monkey. Finally all the Titans gathered in one place, and he pointed furiously in several directions. They fanned out to the six other doors and, at a signal from Robin, pulled them open all at once. Nothing behind any of them, so they tiptoed to the door farthest from the Mad Mod bust, which no one tried. The Boy Wonder smirked at his comrades and yanked the knob, only for the team to scream when the head of a colossal reptilian creature greeted them as it poked through and roared.
Meanwhile, Mad Mod stepped leisurely from a far door and waved to them before walking out through a hidden passageway behind the bust. The Titans ran up and Robin flipped the head back to expose a knob. A quick twist, and the wall opened. Color the teens surprised as they were faced with a passageway that lead to an opening that exposed a peaceful meadow.
"No way!" The mage exclaimed.
"Is that what I think it is?" The greenling asked in disbelief.
"One way to find out." Robin responded as he and the others began walking toward the meadow.
"Looks like the real deal." Cyborg stated before the six fell through a fabric screen, dumping them onto the floor. "No!" He cried realizing the opening was only a picture.
"You can't be serious." Musyamon groaned as he lifted his body up with his hands "Oh come on!" Yuki shouted as he looked up.
"Right back where we started!" The Boy Wonder growled as he scanned room. They were back in the atrium where the whole Mad Mod fiasco began, or at least a room identical to it.
A section of the floor flipped over, bringing said villain into the room. "Of course you are, my duckies." He taunted as he tapped the tiles with his cane, causing the section of the floor to carry him high into the air. "Class is over-and you lot haven't learned a thing. That's a failing grade for each bloomin' one of ya." A big red F appeared on the underside of the platform as it rose higher and higher. "There's only one thing for it. You'll have to repeat the entire lesson!" He cackled madly.
At then end of his little speech, the main stairs retracted up to the first balcony before all the walls fell outward, exposing a curving black-and-white sunburst patter all around. It was broken only by the doors and paintings, which remained exactly where they were. Many more busts moved in, sporting a nasty variety of weapons.
Standing in the middle of the others, the re-hypnotized Beast Boy started babbling and driveling as he crumpled slowly toward the ground, Raven catching him before he hit the floor.
"Time for class, my duckies. Everyone back to your seats!" Mad Mod whooped as the busts began moving in on the teenage superheroes.
"Titans! Get that cane!" Robin shouted. Cyborg, Starfire, and Musyamon gave a hearty yell at his order and charged.
"Um…" A visibly disgusted Raven uttered as she tried figuring out what to do with Beast Boy as she and Yuki stayed behind with the re-hypnotized changeling over her shoulder.
The fronts of several busts opened up to reveal small missile launchers that fired off a heavy salvo. The angered mage created a shield to protect herself and her charge as the glare of explosions covered her. Soon after, Cyborg plowed through the smoke, caught up to Robin, and linked his hands. The spiky-haired Titan took this opportunity to jump up onto his palms and got a hefty upward boost as a result. A bust flew in and the metallic juggernaut crushed it to gravel with a single punch.
Continuing his charge, Robin began hopping from one airborne stone head to another, dodging the occasional laser blast along the way. More busts flew in and started firing, but were blown apart by starbolts and Musyamon's Shogun Sword, with the shooters flying past the clouds of dust that had been created.
"Oy, no roughhousing!" Mad Mod cried from the top of his platform, "Do I have to separate you lot?" He pressed the ruby on his cane and caused the floor tiles to rise up as square columns.
Starfire was on a collision course with the evil educator and ready to shoot him full of holes, but had no such luxury as a column rose in front of her target without warning. "Eek!" she cried as she stopped barely and swerved around the obstacle, only for her path to be obstructed before another panel carried her up against her will. While Robin tried leapfrogging up to Mad Mod, a column suddenly rose up from in front of him and knocked him down while Musyamon and Cyborg was carried up towards the ceiling on two separate columns. "Yo!" the latter cried out as the motion stopped. He looked around and saw the tiles rose into that of a staggered pyramid of steps with Robin on a different level than him.
However, the Boy Wonder had no time to ponder the geometry as laser shots from above forced him to start jumping from one level to the next. He worked his way up and seized a passing bust, which carried him yelling toward a floating door. Working up a little momentum, he flipped clear just before the sculpture crashed into it and exploded. With the force of the flip, he threw a birdarang at the villainous instructor, who leapt straight up to avoid it and passed the teen in midair.
A bust flew by and strafed, just missing Yuki, Raven and Beast Boy, then doubled back for another pass as two others joined it. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" The cloaked girl chanted, hurtling three floor tiles, standing vertically, through the air and slicing the attacking stone works in half. The pieces tumbled down around her, followed by a yelling Cyborg, who had been blown off his high perch. "A little help here? I don't do funny." The mage motioned to the drooling idiot.
The bionic teen stood up quickly, happy to oblige his fellow teammate, "You asked for it." He grinned as he pulled her hood back. Next he licked his finger, depositing plenty of saliva on the tip, but before he gave Raven a wet willy they heard Yuki call out "Musyamon behind you!" he yelled as the look up and saw two busts was aiming at the Champion while his back was turned as he looked down to his Tamer after destroying more busts, "What was that Yuki?" he asked but it was to late as the two busts shoot him in the back, reverting him back into Kotemon and landed on ground level. "Kotemon are you okay? Speak to me?" Yuki said and the Digimon now dazed looks at the others "London Bridge is falling down, falling down, falling ground, London Bridge is falling down... falling down, falling ground... London Bridge is falling down, my fair Palmon!" then the Digimon fainted.
"Hahahaha! Changing some lyrics awesome!" Beast Boy said as he laughed hysterically before realizing he was hypnotized again, "Aw, not again!"
Happily that she didn't get the wet willy Raven pull up her hood as Cyborg sighed and Yuki picked up his unconscious partner.
The four standing heroes then saw bursts with metal spider legs jumping down from the higher platforms toward them. Beast Boy morphed into a rhinoceros and charged, smashing the models to bits.
Flying through the air, Starfire shot down a few of the flying sculptures. Spinning through the air to shoot them, she failed to notice one move in behind her with two thin metal arms extended from its shoulders. "Huh?" She looked behind her to see the stone model grab her by the wrists and haul her higher into the air, putting her into a half-spread eagle. Another Mad Mod head approached and extended a laser chainsaw from its base, but a swing of her legs knocked it away, causing it to slice a long gash through the cloth of a giant hypno-screen that formed the wall.
Yuki and Cyborg watched as the bust that cut the screen exploded behind the columns the latter and Musyamon was standing on. He then glanced to the ground and notice more sculptures on tall pedestals and tank treads coming down from vertical surfaces and up from a trapdoor to form an advancing line.
"They just keep coming." The Tamer stated as he hold Kotemon in his arms.
"Then we just keep smashing!" The titanium teen shouted as he leapt to the ground and incapacitated one of the busts with a kick. As it flipped in the air, the Titan seized it and heaved it straight at the oncoming enemies, destroying every one of them. Behind him, one more popped out, stun gun extended from the mouth, and rolled toward his back and flowed with electricity, giving Cyborg a hair-raising jolt that knocked him out as a net flew past and trapped both Yuki and Kotemon, dragging them to the ground.
The place began rearranging itself; doors and paintings changed locations, and the row of tiles the trapped Titans were lying on moved like a conveyor belt and carried them away.
Nearby, a chair, just like the one she was originally in when the team first arrived at the school, seized Raven. "No!" The mage cried out as she struggled to get free. This proved to be useless as her arms and legs were clamped to the chair, and a white energy band fastened itself around her midsection. Yuki, Kotemon Cyborg were nearby, being hauled into their own chairs.
From above, the green rhino watched helplessly as his friends were being trapped in their wooden seats. Before he could do anything, a hypno-screen popped up right in front of him; reverting to human form, Beast Boy turned his head and squeezed his eyes shut as a long metal arm reached up. "Don't look at the screen, don't look at the screen." The metal arm grabbed his head and turned it toward the screen, "Don't look at the screen, don't look at the screen. Do-" For the fourth time, the green teen succumbed to the mind-numbing effects and started burbling and drooling… again.
As the only one making any progress, Robin quickly made his way up toward Mad Mod's platform. Once he reached it, he threw a kick that hit a big bunch of nothing as the villain easily sidestepped. Teacher planted his cane upright and balanced on its end.
"Oh, give it a rest, snotty. You've already lost!" The Brit shouted as he gestured with his cane and, oddly enough, stayed in midair.
The angered Titan looked down from the platform and saw Beast Boy sitting before the screen with the other four Titans secured in chairs. With a growl, he rushed at Mad Mod and dove for the cane. Extending his hand, Robin found himself completely passing through his target.
"Huh?" The rest of the Boy Wonder's body phased through the cane before he stumbled to the edge of the platform and looked at his hand. The surprised teacher hopped to his feet and slammed his stick onto the platform. "The cane isn't real!" Robin exclaimed as he figured out the entire gimmick the villain put the team through, "Which means Mad Mod is just as fake as everything else in here!" He leapt straight at the Brit's image and ran right through it. "Time for a reality check!" The Titan shouted as he flung himself off the edge.
The holographic instructor swung the cane and sent two busts out after the delinquent. Their bases opened to expose missiles locked on target with lasers coming out of their ears.
Robin continued sailing through the air toward the rip made by the laser chainsaw just as a salvo of lasers and missiles came right for him. Just before he could be blasted to the next world, the masked teen tumbled through the opening of a small service duct, with the ordnance exploding behind him.
Back to the old man sounding similar to Mad Mod who was gloating to himself, "Yeah, this should teach those saucy little ankle-biters some respect." the older Mad Mod continued fiddling around with some levers and wenches until one of the screens on the bank of monitors became static. "Just a tick. I've lost Robin."
With a scream, the old man watched as one by one, the other side screens winked out, leaving only the large central monitor still working.
Inside another part of the service duct, the missing disrespectful youngster was crawling around and ripping out every handful of wiring he could find.
In the crazed room, the four Titans in chairs struggled against their bonds as the fifth kept slobbering all over the floor and the sixth was unconscious in his Tamer's arms. In front of the six, the hypnotic pattern on the screen started to waver as the Mad Mod image stepped in front of it.
"Uh… minor technical hitch, my duckies." The fake Brit tried explaining as he tugged on his collar, "Pay no mind, I'll have it fixed in a-" Before he could finish his sentence, his own image fizzled out and disappeared.
As the pattern shut itself off, Cyborg, Raven, Starfire, and Yuki broke out of their chairs. Unfortunately, Beast Boy just lied on the floor, still mesmerized and salivating all over himself.
One after another, the pictures of Mad Mod faded away in their frames and crashed to the floor; the surviving busts were knocked over as well. The fabric walls reeled up like window shades, exposing the machinery that made all the insanity possible, and a forgotten door swung through the air on its support rope.
Back inside the hidden room with the monitors, Mad Mod yelled and stumbled backward as his systems shorted out in a plume of smoke. "My machines! That meddling little snot will pay for-AAAHHH!" The graying villain cried in fear as he turned around and discovered Robin waiting for him. He was then promptly dragged forward by his lapels and came face to face with the angry Titan. "Hello, guv'nor." The old man choked.
"School's out, Mod. And you're looking at about twenty years of detention." The Boy Wonder assured while the elderly Englishman recoiled at bit at the prospect.
"Ha!" Cyborg cheered as he opened an overhead hatch to see the sky above. Finding himself on a steel platform on the outskirts of an oil-rig, he climbed out of the hole he was in, followed by Raven, then Yuki carried an unconscious Kotemon, and a properly trussed-up Mad Mod was thrown out after. "Oh, yeah, this is definitely the real deal." The bionic Titan cheered as he stretched his arms out wide and took in the fresh air.
"School always seems smaller after you graduate, doesn't it?" Robin retorted as he emerged from the hole.
"Guess it depends where you go." Yuki added as he and the others walked back to the hole.
"Just don't expect me to go to any reunions." Raven stated as the four of them peered inside in time to hear a moan come from Starfire.
Struggling through the hole, the Tamaranian carried the seventh member of the team and place him down on the steel ground. "I cannot awaken Beast Boy," The girl cried, "I have tried the tickling, all manner of bodily noises, and the word "underpants." I fear that this time his brain is gone forever."
The other four Titans stared at the drooling changeling with no real looks of concern on their faces. "Beast Boy had a brain?" Raven asked sardonically.
After a long moment, he sat up completely cured of his trance, "Good one!" He laughed. The smile on his face quickly disappeared as the meaning of the mages' words sank in. "Dude! That's not funny!" Beast Boy shouted as he stood up. Everyone else began walking away, Cyborg carrying Mad Mod. "I totally have a brain!" Steam shot from the green teens' ears before he ran off to catch up with the rest of his friends.
"I just don't use it much."
A/N: Wow this chapter took for a loong time to write again, I put in Mad Mod framing my OC with you know what is the the exact same thing that His Voice Actor is going though right now and if you still think he's still a YKW, REMEMBER DON'T BE A MAD MOD.
So time to respond a review from the last chapter:
To Gry21:
That's right and for Kotemon's case, there's something special why he can't be able to be Zanbamon, and no Yuki and the others won't see the Devas attacking Shinjuku on TV in the tower
And that's that. What happens next? Find out next time on Titan Tamer of The Swordsman. R&R
