Chapter 9:Sloth
People,I'm going to twek Sloth a little bit.I'm not going to change her character,just
give her some new powers.I mean,what's the fun in fighting a puddle on the ground?On with the show!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sin awoke in a sphere of darkness.He thought to himself,what happened?His question was answered when he saw Raven meditating by the biggest window in the
common room."Oh good.Your awake." said the gothic teen,unemotionally as usual.
"Raven,did I hurt anyone severly?" "Pride temporarily paralized Beast Boy,and he knocked Starfire out with the hilt of one of his swords." "Oh,are they all right?Is Beast
Boy still paralized?" he saw a veeeerrrry faint smile on Raven's face."Yes,but don't go
visit him.He's very ticked at Pride,and at everyone else for not showing him enough attention." "When will he be able to walk again?" Raven looked at a clock on a nearby wall."In about five minutes."Sin's eyes widened."Do you think I should hide?" "No.You
scare him to much.Your on about the same level as me as far as that goes."A few minutes went by,but the silence was broken by a ball of stinking socks."Ewwww,"
moaned Sin."Beast Boy,I'm gonna kill you."said the aforementioned homunculus.
Sin pick up the the stankball and hurled it at him,giving a little push with his liquid arm
The ball hit Beast Boy with force of a train!Well,a very small train.Beast Boy slammed into a nearby wall."Owww.You paralized me yesterday! I'm just getting back at you!"
Sin smirked and turned to Raven."And you're getting it too."He picked up the ball and wasmet by a four-eyed Raven"Don't even think about it." Sin smiled."We both know intimidation well,so four eyes don't scare me."He flung the ball'o'stinky socks at her and
stood back.The socks incinerated and fire was coming from all of Raven's eyes."You both die NOW!" Sin took on a anime uh-oh look,as did Beast Boy.The changeling lookedat Sin and said,"Run."The two sped off with Raven at their heels.(A view of the tower came pops up on the screen)"AHHHHHH!"Bam!Splosh!"Hey!You just ruined by cloak!""Self-defense,couldn't help it.Besides,it's just water." "It's part of your body!" "No it isn't!I regenerate remeber!" "That's sick!" "You're really dead now!" "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
screams of horror and pain were heard throughout the tower.(Back inside the tower.)
Sin was hanging up-side down by his feet and dark energy by a light fixture in the common room,while Beast Boy was also hanging from a light fixture,but by his tongue
and dark energy,just to make sure they stayed there for a few hours.Sin laughed a little.
"Wat aw youo laufing at?(translation:what are you laughing at?")"Well, just that your stuck,because just about every animal has a tongue.Plus,your tongueis held by dark energy. You're stuck my friend." Beast Boy's face was turning red,from anger,embarrasment,orto much blood rushing to the brain,Sin couldn't tell."Ow wea,yowa in te sam bowt!"(translation:Oh yea,well your in the same boat!")"No I'm not."Sin turned into his liquid form and fell to the floor with a splat."Wat abot MWEEEE!"(tanslation:What about MEEEE!")"Can't help you.See ya." "AHHHHHHHHH!Iw geat ew!" (translation:AHHHHHHHHH!I'll get you!") "Whatever."
The alarm began to sound.Raven walked over to the main computer."It's
Cinderblock in the fifth district.He's destroying the communication center there."
Robin was running down the stairs."Titans,GO!"Beast Boy fell to the floor. you just lower me?" "No." Cyborg cut into the argument by saying,"Let's
go!"The titans took to their various means of transportation and sped off to the fifth district.When they arrived,Cinderblock was mindlessly destroying things."Titans,attack!"
shouted Robin.He began by taking out his bo-staff and slammed it into Cinderblock's face."KYAAAA!UMPH!"Robin was punched out of the rock behemoth's face,only to
recieve a mouthfull of starbolts and dark energy.The creature yelled a cry of disgust
and pain.It's response was a punch to the to the two.Starfire and Raven were temporarilyknocked out.Sin clapped his hands together and slammed them on ground.Several spikes shot out of the ground towards Cinderblock.The result was a veeerrrry angry rock.Cinderblock grabbed one of the spikes and threw it at Sin.Sin changed his body into his liquid form,so the spike went straight through him.Cyborg shot his sonic cannon at it and managed to chip it here and there.Beast transformed into a t-rex and started to charge. Cinderblock braced for the impact.BAM!Beast Boy hit the giant rock with his tail,slamming it to the ground.Robin said out loud,more to himself,
"if Slade is dead,who is telling Cindeblock what to do?"Sin then had an idea.He transformed into Slade."Cinderblock."said Sin/Slade forcefully."Stop. here."
The rock obeyed and looked at Sin,waiting for a command."I want you to go to the jail
and turn your-self in to the police until I contact you.Understand?"Cinderblock nodded
and stomped of to the jail.When Cinderblock couldn't see Sin anymore,he changed back
into his normal form.By this time,Raven and Starfire became conscience again."Good
job Sin.I told how them how you beat Cinderblock." Raven went where he was standing
and patted him on the back."Good job." But Starfire hugged him with everything she had."OHH!Friend Sin!You are so smart!Your attack plan was ingenious!" "Star,gasp,
can't breeeaaaatthh!" Starfire let go and said she was sorry.He looked at Raven and
blushed."Thanks,but it was Robin who gave the idea." "Me?How did I do that?" Sin
looked away from Raven and at Robin."When you mentioned that Slade was it's master,
I got the idea to turn into Slade.That's all." Raven then said,"Well,I guess that means that Cinderblock was just destroying things because he had nothing else to do."
"Apparantly." Beast Boy's stomach grumbled,"It's about lunch time,so I'm going to get
something to eat." Cyborg smiled a humongous(sp.?)smile."Yea!Let's go to the pizza
parlor.We can have an eating contest." "Your on!"Beast Boy and Cyborg started running
to the parlor,"I'll even beat you there!"Sin turned to the other titans."You think we should race them?I mean,I know I'll win."Raven looked at him."In your dreams."Raven flew off
in a burst of dark energy."Hmph."said Sin as he transformed into Raven and did the same.The real Raven soon caught up to BB and Cyborg."Hey!Slow down." Raven looked down."No."This delay allowed Sin to pass her.Robin jumped off of buildings
also passing the three other titans.Starfire passed them soon also.But when they saw
Sin sitting at the parlor looking like Raven,they stopped,except for BB and his one track
mind."I WIN!" "No you don't." He turned and saw Sin/Raven,then turned again and saw
the real Raven."But,how,who.."When he turned again and saw this time Sin.His eyes went white anime-style,then small little black eyes."Oh,you turned into Raven."
When they were finished,they headed back to the tower.They had indeed an eating
contest.Cvborg won,with Starfire and Sin in second place,Beast in third,Robin in fourth, and Raven in last.Robin and Beast Boy looked very sick."Ohhh.Raven,can you,uwpp,teleport us to the tower?"asked a greener than usual Beast Boy."No.You need to walk off that pizza." "Plllleeeeaaassseeee!" "No." "Cyborg,can we use the T-car?" "It's
at the tower,remeber?" "Oh yea."Sin then intervened."You can turn into animals BB."
"I can't fly.My stomach is to full." "Oh well,see you at the tower." Sin transformed into an
eagle and flew away."Why does everyone hate me?"Robin,who was supported by Starfire,rebuked Beast Boy,"I'm not complaning Beast Boy.Just bear it." "Excuse me,but
you have a person who can lift 10 tons supporting you!" Robin blushed,and pulled Starfire
along as if to suggest "hurry up".The next half hour was spent with Beast Boy's complaints.Finally,Raven had had enough,"Shut the #&# up!" Beast Boy looked at Raven wide-eyed."You have some,colorful language there."Raven glared at Beast Boy as
they reached the tower.Robin typed a code onto a screen by the door.The door gave a sigh of confirmation and open.When it opened,painful moans could be heard.Robin shouted,"Titans Go!".He thought to himself,Oh no,he's transforming!When they reached the common room,however,he was proven wrong.The Teen Titans west were playing
twister with Sin,all of whom,except Bee,were in awkard and painful positions.You see,
the Titans west had traveled about five-hundred miles in one night,so they were kinda
tired and slept in.Bee,who hadn't noticed the other titans,yelled,"Okay,Menos,right hand
red."Menos managed to get his stubby little hand on the red circle.The spinner was spun.
"Sin,left foot,blue."Sin had almost reached it,but he fell.As a result,the whole group fell.
Moans and groans were heard from the mass of humanity on the twister mat.Speedy
managed to get his voice back first."Awww,Sin.Why did you have to fall.I almost won.
Sin?" Sin didn't answer.He instead went into convulsions.His hair grew to the middle of
his back and became a beautiful,yet sinful shade off chesnut.His iris's became a mournful shade blue,and the rest of his body,er,took on the appearance of a blest woman
Speedy and Aqualad,as well as Robin,Beast Boy,and Cyborg,could only mutter a,"Whoa."The woman lifted her head and looked at them.She saw the boy's faces and
smiled.She thought to herself,At least they're giving me looks of admiration and not
lust."Hmmm.How nice to meet you." She was met by two starbolts,one sonic cannon,
several shuriken-like shards of dark energy,a t-rex tail,and several bombs.As they smoke
cleared,the other titans had wide-eyed,no nose anime looks on their faces.Bee sorta yelled,sorta said,"Why the heck did you kill her."Robin's eyes narrowed."She's not dead."
As he said this,two whip-like streams of liquid shot out of the smoke and attacked him.
Starfire gasped,"Robin!"The smoke cleared to show a woman in a shoulder strap,black
dress that went to the floor."I only said hi."the lady smiled.The ends of her hands became
spikes of ice."I guess that I'll have to kill you now."Her ice tipped whips met their mark on
Speedy's leg and hip.Blood spurted to the ground."Arrrhhhggg!"Speedy's leg collasped, and he fell to the floor.Bee assisted Speedy,while everyone else assualted the woman.
Raven began floating in the air,"So,your Sloth." Sloth nodded.Beast Boy appeared shocked,"What?!You're Sloth and you look like that!?" "Hmhm.You're sweet.I hate sweet
children.They remind me of that ignorant Alphonse Elric." "Who?"asked Robin.Sloth
smiled."My creator,and son."This statment shocked everyone in the room."You're,son?"
"Well,the son of the person I'm supposed to be." I'm sorry." "Don't be.Because I'm not going to be sorry when I kill every single one you." Everyone,excluding Bee and Speedy,
took on a defensive pose."We aren't going down without a fight."retorted Robin."Titans,
Go!"
Sloth looked at the number of attackers."There's to many of you.I'll have to thin you out."Sloth brought her arms to her chest and hunched over.After a second or two,she
pushed her chest out and threw her arms down.Several spikes of ice shot out of her(still attached to her) and impaled several of the teens,those being Beast Boy,Aqualad,and both Mas and Menos.One of the spikes hit Cyborg,but it couldn't get through his 'skin'
and instead shattered.All of a sudden,the spikes exploded with dark energy.This seemed
to hurt Sloth,because she scream a short scream of pain.The said impaled teens fell to
the floor,holding there bloody,but not fatal,wounds."You'll pay for that witch."Raven seemed unfazed by the insult."Bring it."Sloth hadn't noticed that Starfire had sneaked
behind her.She soon found out the hard way.Starfire made two starbolts on her fists,
but,instead of shooting them,she drove them into Sloth's body.The homunculus' body
began to boil.Sloth shrieked in pain.The watery creature's body began bubbling more
violently,causing her to explode.Starfire yelped a little as some of the super-heated water
came into contact with her skin.Bee was still in a daze from what she saw."Is she dead?"
Raven shook her."No."As soon as she said this,the water puddles around the room began moving to the center of the room.It joined together to form a human-shaped
liquid woman.That soon changed,as Sloth regained her normal form."Hmmm,you guys
are very creative.I'll have to be just as creative.She melted to the floor,and began covering the room with a thin layer of Sloth liquid.Starbolts,dark energy blasts,and
electrified birdarangs couldn't stop her.As soon as she had covered the room,the liquid
became frozen.Robin attempted to move,but couldn't.His feet had been frozen in place
with icy restraints.The walls seemed to silently laughing.They all managed to break the
restraints quickly,but couldn't dogde the many needle thin spikes that skewered through
the three titans.Small rivulets of blood slowly drizzled through the wounds.The liquid melted,and Sloth became normal again.Cyborg appeared behind her with a container of
sorts.She saw him,but couldn't evade the container.Cyborg turned it over quickly,and slammed the lid shut.Sloth said some words that sounded like,"I'll get out of here."Cyborg
shook his finger close to the glass in front of her face."Oh no you won't.It's airtight."Still,
Sloth tried to get out,but was unsuccesful.She sighed and resigned herself to her fate.
When Bee saw that the conflict was over,she ran to the infirmary,soon returning with
bandages,antiseptices,plasma packs,and antibiotics.She and Cyborg went around cleaning up the injured teens,while Raven healed herself and began healing severed veins and arteries.The bones were to complex,and she didn't have enough energy to
support it anyway,so she did what she could.The bones would have to heal by themselves.Luckily,Cyborg was testing a increased healing agent,something that makes
wounds heal faster,and thought that this was a perfect time to test it."You won't be fully
healed until about noon tommorow."The rest of the day was spent cleaning up the common room,but Robin's mind couldn't concentrate on what he was doing.He couldn't
help but think that if Sloth was that bad,then what would Envy be like.

I hope that Sloth's new powers didn't surprise you much.I think that I ended this chapter appropatley,so don't flame me about cliff-hangers,cause that wasn't much of
one.Please,please,please R&R.I've had about five-hundred hits and only six reviews.
Is it that bad?Oh and thank you crimcon shroud and Green gallant for reviewing.
