"Where is our new friend, Kerri?" Starfire asked, "I have not seen her for quite some time now."

"She's in her room, I think." Cyborg replied. He and Robin were playing the card game found in episode "Winner Takes All." Beast Boy was on the couch watching TV.

"Yeah, she's in her room." Beast Boy was flipping through the channels, "She told me she was making some sort of bo-staff." Robin's ears perked up.

"She's been in there all day. It shouldn't be taking that long." He put down a card that beat Cyborg's, who pouted, "Does she need any help?"

"She's probably leaving something out of what she told you." Raven had come out of her room a while ago. She was reading, like usual.

"No! She's just making her staff more complicated some how." Beast Boy tried to explain.

"How, exactly, does she plan on making it more complicated?" Raven raised an eyebrow.

"She..." He paused, "She told me it would be a surprise." Raven went back to her book. Starfire sighed and flew over to watch the card game between Robin and Cyborg. They had started a new one since Robin won. A few minutes went by when The door opened and Kerri walked in.

"Hey, what' up?" She asked.

"Finally! Did you finish it?" Beast Boy asked jumping up from the couch in excitement.

"Uh... Yah... It's in my room..." She said pointing behind her, "I can go get it if you want me to."

"Oh yes! We would be delighted!" Starfire shouted for joy.

"Ok, I'll be back in a second." Kerri turned around to go back to her room.

"You know, we haven't really trained with her yet." Cyborg said when Kerri was out of the room, "We got to see some of what she could do when we fought Slade's robots, but I wasn't completely watching her."

"I know what you mean." Robin responded, "I only noticed her when she was after the disk, but I didn't see what she was capable of before that."

"Well, I saw everything!" Beast Boy said proudly. His ears drooped down when the others looked at him undoubtedly and disappointed. "Ok, I missed the first five or ten minutes. But, that's more than you guys saw."

"Then, perhaps, we should ask her to train when she returns?" Starfire asked in her usual bubbly manner.

"We never built a new obstacle course." Raven said. She was looking into her book still. She didn't quite care about the conversation.

"What about sparring? That's always fun." Beast Boy suggested.

"Beast Boy may be on to something." Robin agreed, "In fact, I'll spar with her."

"Ok I don't know if the design is right, so if I'm wrong it doesn't work like I think it should." Kerri said as she entered the room, without using the door, but by fasing through the wall. She was holding a metal pole in her hand.

"Kerri, would you be interested in sparring?" Robin asked. Kerri looked up from her newly made bo-staff and smiled.

"Sure, why not?" She answered with a question.

"Go Kerri!" Beast Boy shouted. They two, Kerri and Robin, decided to let it take place on the roof. They were both sure that no one would fall off, and if for some reason they did, one or more of the other four titans would catch their fall unless they could prevent it themselves. The rules to the spar were simple:

1. If you're hit in the chest, you lose.
2. There are no boundary lines.
3. No head, neck, or crotch shots.

Everything else was common since like, no killing.

They both took their fighting stance.

"Ba Gua, Kun Fu?" Robin asked as he noticed her stance.

"Yeh." She answered, a bit shocked to see that he reconized it. She didn't know as much about artial arts as him, so she didn't know what he was using. That was a disadvantage.

"That style, it deals with circular movement, is that right?" He asked.

"Actually, yes. What style are you..." Kerri was interested in what he was using since it was now perfectly clear that he knew what she was using, though she did not know what to expect from him. He answered her question before she even finished.

"I've mastered many styles. I tend to mix them together instead of using one."

"Oh." Was all that Kerri could say. She was now in knee deep. Even if she was able to figure out one of his styles, it wouldn't be the only one thrown at her. Also, she lacked in martial arts knowledge. She would be suprised if she could figure out the purpose of that one.

"Ok, when I say the word 'go' you can start." Cyborg said, "On your mark, get set..."

Mwahahahah! Cliff hangers! You just got to love them. I'm going to take a try at an action fight again. I hope I get reviews this time. Also, in my last chapter, I said Kerri has a "T" on her shirt... At the moment I am looking at my keyboard confused as to how my finger went from the "K" to the "T." Oh well, the world may never know. Sorry about that confusion but I did mean to write "K." Also, I am going to add a full summary to Chapter 1. My original one was too long, so I shortened it. I changed my mind now, and like I just said I'm going to just make a full summary. If you want to read it, just go back and do so. And now, my friend has just informed me that I have to have a disclaimer to my story in at least one of my chapters. I'll just put that here. Reveiw please.
