Showdown: Red X vs. Teen Titans!
I kinda stopped liking teen titans, and I just couldn't write for it. The new series saved me from doing something I would have regretted: taking down the story. Anyways, here's the next chapter! You've all waited patiently, so ill try to make it really good. Enjoy!
Raven awoke from a much needed rest. Golden rays of sunshine pierced the closed curtains. Opening them with her powers, she beheld the marvellous view of the city, bathed in radiant sunlight. Then she suddenly remembered Red X and Jennie.
"I will save you." Raven muttered through gritted teeth. Images of Red X's smirking face boiled her blood, but she remained calm. Raven drew the curtains as she left her room. She was too tired yesterday to take into account that she was safe again. Raven let out a small sigh, and descended the stairs.
As she entered the living room, Raven felt four pairs of eyes fall on her.
"Good morning, head of sleepiness." Starfire greeted cheerfully. Raven smiled. Starfire always knew how to cheer people up if it was on purpose of not. She walked into the room and sat down on the purple sofa.
"Are you sure you're up to this?" Robin asked, concerned.
"Yes." Raven replied. "When do we leave?"
"As soon as you eat!" beast boy grinned, holding out a breakfast tray holding toast and tofu eggs. Raven sighed. Beast boy would make her eat anyway, so she forced down a slice of toast and grinned weakly at her friends.
"Okay Titans, lets go!" Robin commanded.
Jennie awoke, her body still immobile. She would have major pins and needles if she could feel her legs. She tilted her head up and scanned the room. No sign of red X. What was he up to? Jennie let her head drop back onto the cushion. I need to do something. She screamed in her head. I hate being alone…
It was midday when Raven found the mansion that was her ex-prison. It was atop a grass covered cliff, a gravel path winding up to the medieval wooden doors, covered in iron symbols. The building looked out onto the endless blue ocean, the sun dancing on its surface.
"That's where Red X is, and…" Raven stopped and looked at the floor. She felt a hand rest on her shoulder, reassuring her.
"We'll get her back, you'll see." Beast boy said.
" Red X is goin down!" Cyborg shouted, his fists punching the air. The teen titans advanced on the mansion.
Red X was standing in one of the buildings many hallways. He smirked to himself. He already had one of the chosen ones, and two more were soon to arrive on his doorstep. Things were perfect.
"Ultimate wealth will soon be mine!" Red X laughed to himself. He was cut short as the wall facing him was demolished. Five teens stood in its place.
"What can you do with wealth when you're in jail?" Robin challenged.
"Ah, my guests have arrived." Red X said.
"Not much of a welcoming committee." Cyborg grunted as he fired his arm laser at the thief. Easily dodging the beam, Red X laughed.
" I'm more than enough entertainment for you." He chuckled as he charged at them. Starfire threw a barrage of starbolts as she flew directly at him. Using the suit, Red X disappeared to avoid the bolts, and reappeared behind the tameranian.
"I'm not after you yet." He said as he grabbed her back. He used the momentum of the fall to throw her at Robin. He caught Starfire, and placed her on her feet. Extending his staff, he leaped at Red X, the end of his weapon clashing with Red X's X shaped arm guards. Many blows were exchanged as beast boy made his move.
" Robin, back off!" He shouted as he jumped into the air and morphed into a hippo. Gravity took its effect as he plummeted towards his target. Robin managed to get out of harms way as hippo and human collided. Red X disappeared beneath green skin as the hippo made cracks in the floor. A huge explosion came from beneath as beast boy flew to the wall beside raven. Red X stood unscathed.
"We'll take care of him, you go and find your friend!" Beast boy shouted in pain. Raven agreed, and flew down one of the corridors while Cyborg charged at Red X.
Jennie heard the fighting from her chamber, and tried desperately to get a response from her paralysed body.
"I gotta help!" she told herself. Realising it was useless, she let out a sigh and just hoped someone would find her. Her wish granted. She saw her dark friend phase through the wall.
"Raven! You're safe!" Jennie cried.
"I've come to save you." Raven smiled at her friend. Using her powers, Raven removed the drug from her friends body and helped her stand.
"It feels so good to be able to move again." Jennie said, relieved.
"Sorry I left you." Ravel apologised.
"You had to, don't punish yourself." Jennie told Raven. "Lets go help you're friends!"
"I'm, afraid you're to late," came a familiar deep voice. Red X appeared leaning against the doorframe. "You're comrades fighting skills are a little rusty." He laughed. Raven gritted her teeth and clenched her fist.
"Prepare to become prisoners once more!" He screamed as he flew at them. Ready for combat, Jennie and Raven took up stances and prepared their spells.
Seem familiar? Once again they are both fighting Red X. But will the result be different this time? Sorry I took so long with the chap, ill try updating soon. Once again, thanks for being patient!
