Chapter 7: Wrath
Sin woke up in the force field feeling like he had eaten something that he wasn't supposed to eat. Robin came down later with a cup of tea."Hey,Robin."
called a very sick Sin.Robin answered,"Yea,what is it." "What did I eat yesterday?"
Robin chuckled under his breath."You ate some of Starfire's food.You also ate the plates,the bowls,the silverware,the table-cloth,and even the table."Sin hugged his
stomach tighter."Ugh.I was Gluttony wasn't I ?"Robin nodded."Ohh.I knew he would eat
something disgusting.Sin just groaned.Robin couldn't resist adding,"Oh,by the way.Raven killed Gluttony one time yesterday by stuffing a dumpster down his throat.
-hehe-He exploded." Sin groaned even louder."C'mon.Let's go get some Aspirin or something for your stomach." "If it's okay,I would like some of Raven's herbal tea instead.Do you think she'll mind?" Robin shrugged."I don't know.You will just have to
ask her."
The rest of the titans were waiting for Sin to come up.They wanted him to make
breakfast that morning.When the homunculus emerged from the stairwell, Beast Boy ,Starfire,and Cyborg immediatly asked to make their favorite things."Yo,Sin.Would you
make breakfast this morning?PLEASE.I want that avocado salad I didn't get to eat last
time." "Yes friend Sin!Please make your wonderful biscuits of the breakfast!" "Hey man,
I've been craving one of those steaks that you made with eggs the other day.Do you think you could make it again today?" Sin just looked at them pitifully."I don't think so."
The others-excluding Raven and Robin-looked a little shocked."I'm sorry,but you guys
let me eat Starfire's food,legendary for it's potency, when I was a mindless hungry fat
guy.Now my stomach is killing me.Please,I just need a cup of tea."Beast Boy acted as if
he just remebered yesterday."Oh,yea.After you've had tea,then do you think you could make breakfast?" Sin glared at Beast Boy,then smiled.He held up his index finger,and
turned it into one of his bodily knives.Beast Boy fainted dead away.Everyone(yes,even
Raven)started laughing.But they stopped when the alarm went off.Cyborg went to the nearest terminal."It's Control Freak.He's at the electronic manufactuer on the south side
of Jump City." "Titans,GO!"shouted the titan leader.This time Sin's choice was to transform into a medium-sized phoenix like creature.Beast Boy looked at him with big eyes."Cooool." But,Sin decided to stay with the group this time,just in case he transformed again.
They reached the factory in time to see experimental robot prototypes
installing a satellite on top of the factory."Starfire,you and Raven take out the the robots
and the satellite.The rest of us will split up and look for Control Freak.I'll take Beast Boy
and the west-side of the factory.Cyborg and Sin will take the east-side.Let's go!"Raven and Starfire flew to the top of the factory,while Beast Boy,Cyborg,Robin,and Sin ran into the factory.A little ways inside,they were met by possesed Gamestations.Cyborg cried,
"But I don't wanna destroy THEM!" Sin retorted,"Fine with me."and stabbed about six of
them with his fingers."NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"Sin slapped him."Cyborg!You ether
kill them,or I will let them kill you.Get to it."Cyborg nodded and started blasting them with his sonic canon.Sin looked over at Beast Boy and Robin,and saw they were nearly finished.So he and Cyborg went on ahead.
After about thirty minutes or so,Sin and Cy had taken out gamestations,stereos,laptops,desktops,lcd screen tv's,and plasma screen tv's."Man,"
complained Cyborg,"why does he have to make me mess up my favorite things?" Sin
rolled his eyes."Sure,Control Freak probably did it just because of you,huh." Cy looked
at Sin.He was getting as bad as Raven.The duo heard a nerdy,maniacal laughter.Cyborg
said,as if he were saying today's forecast,"That's Control Freak." "Hmmmm.He doesn't
sound very threatening.In fact,he sounds like you when you play video games with Beast Boy and Robin."said Sin.Cyborg gave him a flat look."Whatever."They crept around the corner,slow enough not to be heard,yet fast enough to get exceed the turtle speed limit.More weird laughter.When they came around the corner,they saw that Control Freak was actually playing a game,while his robots were programing a computer/satelitte hook-up.Cyborg and Sin just looked at the verrrry fat man,with their mouths wide open.Sin,however,recovered first.He extended his knife-finger into the consol,making it of
no
more use whatsoever."Ahhh.WHY DID YOU DO THAT!!! I HAD ALMOST
BEAT VAN
STRAGENHOFF OF THE GERMANIC VAMPIRE LEAGUE!!!YOU
IDIOTS!!!!!!!!!!"Sin
responded hardening his skin,taking on black shiny look."Hmph.We will see who is the
idiot.He clapped his hands and slammed them on the ground. A bright red light lit up the
room as Sin transmuted two swords with mini-scythes at the Freak stood bug-eyed."Umm,oh crap.Robots,attack them!"Sin and Cyborg easily took out the robots.
It's what came next that was going to be hard.A battle robot,that looked just like a Gundam or a mecha, stepped out from two enormous steel doors.This time Sin said,"Umm,oh crap."But then he had an idea."He Cyborg,how good is your throwing arm?" "Uh,I can throw a lampost 200 yards." "That's good enough.Throw me at that thing's head."Cyborg looked skeptical,but did as he was told.In moments,Sin was
flying throw the air with the force of a bullet.When he hit the robot,Sin dented half of the
things head.Sin was fine,being as hard as diamond,but the battle machine wobbled back and forth.But when it didn't fall,he resorted to plan B.He clapped his hands together and slammed them onto the massive machine.A red light filled them room again.The result of
this transmutation was a large cage,with a perplexed Control Freak in it."How did you do that?Ah-ah-ah!"Sin had his knife-like fingers under Control Freak's arms,legs,crotch,and two on both sides of his neck."Don't move,they're as sharp as razors."Sin took one of his
free fingers and demonstrated.He cut the main terminal in the room into two pieces.CF
gulped.The two stayed in that position until the police arrived.When the police and the rest of the titans came into the room,CF said in a meek tone,"Help."The people couldn't
help but snicker,seeing a fat man in such an awkard pose.Robin went to Control Freak and said forcefully,"What was your plan?" CF looked at him indignatly,"I don't have to tell
you."and stuck out his tongue."Hey Sin,this gu..." "Wait!Okay,okay,I'll tell you.This dude
hired me to get control of satellite for him.That's all."Robin narrowed his eyes,but was
interrupted by Starfire's,"Friend Sin!"He turned and saw the homunculus on the floor,
shrinking and writhing in pain.He stopped shrinking when he reached the size of a 10-12
year-old size.His hair grew long,and his skin became pale except for his right arm and
left leg.His eyes turned a violet color.When the transformation was complete,he stood up.He appeared to be a child.But the anger in his eyes showed the hatred only capable
of achieving after holding a grudge for a century.So,Robin thought,this must be Wrath.
Wrath clapped his hands together and slammed them on the ground."DIE!"Huge spikes
began coming out of the ground.Luckily,the police were gone,so Sin wouldn't be blamed
for innocent deaths.Still,Cyborg couldn't fly,so he and Robin had a hard time dodging them.Robin took out his bo-staff just in time to stop Wrath's,well,wrath.The juvenile
homunculus was relentless in his attacks.When he stopped for second,Robin saw that
his foe had a sword,but that it was part of his arm!Wrath almost started attacking again,
when Starfire put him in a head lock,and Raven cited some strange mantra.The child became unconscience."Whew,so much anger for a child.How is that possible?"Raven
thought out loud."I don't know,but we have to hurry back home to put him in the force-field."said the concerned titans leader.He was slowly starting to trust the homunculus.
He could tell everyone else was to.He may not be human,but he acted human.
The titans rushed home,with Raven carrying the child in her dark energy.
Once inside the forcefield,Wrath immediatly woke up."Let me out!You cheated!Let me
out &&#T$."The team stood back with their mouths open.Starfire stated an obvious fact,"All of friend Sin's form's are very violent with their speech,except the gluttonious
one.He was sooo cute!"The other titans looked at her with raised eye-brows.The child
sat on the floor of his electronic prison indian-style,with his eyes and mouth in pouty-
style.Robin looked at the pouting juvenile,"Okay,what are we having for dinner."Starfire
jumped up and down,"OHH!We will have the Tamarean victory feast!" "Uhh,how about
pizza instead." "Okay." Cyborg turned to Robin."I'll be a little while.I have to run some
diagnostics on the forcefield to make sure that it's prepared for pouty's other forms."
Robin nodded,"Okay."
For a few hours,Cyborg worked in silence.Finally,he asked Wrath,"Hey,I have
a question.Why are you so angry,huh?"Wrath looked at him."I'll tell you why.When an idiot alchemist tries to beat death,he will try to bring back his loved one back ,mind, body, and soul.He attemps to give life to inanimate objects,making humans from from carbon and other human ingredients.This is how homunculi are born.This is how the souls of the
damned are made."Wrath glared at Cyborg as if it were his fault that he was made. Cybog had a look pf pity and sadness in his eyes."How were you created?" Wrath frownedand narrowed his eyes,"A woman,who lost her child,attempted to bring it back using the forbidden human transmutation.In an act of desperation and love,I was born.A monster from the pits of hell.Now do you see why I'm angry!" Cyborg looked shocked.
He turned,not knowing what to say,and began working again.This gave Wrath a window of oppurtunity.He clapped his hands together and put them on the metal base of the force
field generater.The force-field exploded,sending Cyborg flying into a wall.Wrath saw his moment to attack and made his arm into part sword.He dashed to where Cyborg had fallen.He jumped and landed right on Cyborg's huge chest and reared back his arm as
if to pierce the cyborg's heart.But he stopped.Cyborg looked at his arm.It was trembling,
like some force inside was struggling to control the arm.He followed the arm to Wrath's
eyes.The would change from red to violet,and back again in moments.The child began
crying."Let me go.I need to see other's in pain so ease mine.NO,he..my...friend.You..won't hurt...him.Let go!No!Now!I won't ...give you...CONTROL!The child fell to the floor and began convulsing."Stop!This is my TIME!"
There was a flash of light, and the child became Sin.He panting and sweating heavily.
"I'm(pant)sorry.Ughh."Sin fainted from sheer exhaustion.Robin and the others came running downstairs."What happened!"Cyborg sat where he fell dazed.His answer was
equally dazed."He...almost killed me,but stopped...like Wrath was losing control or...
something.Sin stopped himself from killing."Cyborg snapped back to reality."He didn't
kill me!Robin,during the fight,and when he was contained,Wrath said some things you
should hear."

Whew.That was a long one for me.Sorry it got so heavy towards the end.But that is
how the homunculus,except Sin,feel.Any way,please review and tell me which of the
remaining sins should be portrayed next.You're choices are Envy,Sloth,or Pride,the Fuhrer one.See ya later.
