Chapter 7 - Black and green
Part 1 - 'Food fight'
After a hard day of training on the obstacle course and in the gym, the titans left to their usual pizza place to eat and hang out. Rage also came along but wared his ski mask. He said he did this so that no one would recognize his face and that he wears it every where when he is outside. The titans sat at the table and checked out the menu and of course, doo to BB's vegetarian type diet Cyborg started an argument.
"The last three times we ordered we ate that vegi-tofu pizza crud. We're haveing extra anchovies and extra cheese this time" said Cyborg confident that he'll be backed up by the others.
"No way, you know I don't do meat and you just want more for yourself. You don't fool me" replied Beast Boy.
"Okay then, super extra anchovies and mega cheese with red hot peppers it is".
Beast Boy jumped up after hearing what Cyborg said and didn't know that Cy was just jokeing and tried to get on his nerves for the fun of it.
"Slow down guys, slow down" intervined Robin "I have some extra cash so everybody can order what they like".
After inspecting the menu thurely a waitres came to take their order. She noticed that Rage was at the table but didn't ask who he was. They each ordered what they liked but when it was Rage's time to order he was just looking at the sky like he was admiring the clouds or something.
"Dudeee" said BB adresing Rage and snaping his fingers in front of his face "...hello, earth to Rage, time to order, ain't cha hungry?".
Rage snaped out of his day dream but didn't know what to order as he didn't check the menu out.
"Umm, let's see now" Rage pondered scratching his head. "I don't know guys? You order for me whatever you think is good".
Beast Boy raised a finger and told the waitres to bring two vegi-pizzas, one for him and one for Rage. After the waitres left Cy looked at BB like he wanted to start another argument.
"Smooth move salad head, how do you know Rage will even like it? What are you trying to do, convert him to vegeterianism?".
"That's okay Cyborg" replied Rage "There's no need to be mad at him, I'm not really a picky eater so I'll eat just about everything".
"Have you ever ate tofu before?" asked Cyborg with a note of good will in his voice.
"No, but I did eat bugs once, how bad could tofu be?".
Cyborg shruged his shoulders, "Okay, just don't say I didn't warn you".
The titans ate and talked being glad that they were spending quality time togheter. Robin sat next to Starfire and BB next to Raven. Everything was going just fine when all of the sudden they noticed people running and heared loud music. They turned their atention to the place they heared the music and noticed no one other than Punk Rocket causing mayhem.
"Who's that?" asked Rage.
"Punk Rocket, an old friend of ours" replied Robin as everyone stood up.
Rage stood up as well but seemed more relaxed. "Do you mean punk as in 'Sex Pistols' and 'The Exploited' punk?".
"Worst, those guys only held concerts, Punk Rocket just likes to cause mayhem".
Rage squinted his eyes while looking at the villain as he was playing his music. Robin tried to call the attack knowing what type of threat Punk Rocket was but Rage went in front of him not leaving Punk Rocket out of his sight.
"Good" replied Rage who had an evil smirk under his mask " ... you guys stay here and eat, I'd like to take care of him my self".
Cyborg intervined after hearing his friend. "Man are you crazy? Maybe you have't noticed but that guys sound can make your ear drums go boom".
"I'm rather aware of that. But please, let me handle him, I know you haven't had a chance to fight for a week now but please let me handle him, just this once. Look, if I fall down two times or if I get seriously hurt then you can help me. What do you say?".
Robin looked at Rage and smiled "Okay, but just this once".
"Thanks chief!" replied Rage who jumped down and went towards the musical criminal.
Punk Rocket was playing his music louder than usual, it seemed like he desperatly needed an audience. Rage stoped 15 yards away from him.
"Hey punk!" he shouted.
After hearing someone calling him out Punk Rocket turned around. His spiked hair looked like knvies in the afternoon light.
"That's Punk Rocket to you mate" he replied angry.
"What ever. Look, I'm asking you nicely to give me your guitar and leave. Now please hand it over".
Punk Rocket couldn't help him self from laughing franticly and almost falling down. He found Rage's threat as being amuseing and at the same time pityful.
"Hahaha. You're funny you know that? You could very well be the next sensation after Rowan Atkinson".
Rage's eyes started to turn red but he tryed to keep his cool.
"I was not jokeing, now please give me your guitar or I'll take it from you by force" he replied while starting to walk towards him.
"Make one step further and I'll blow you out you're boots" threatend Punk Rocket.
Rage kept walking towards him and was now five yards away. Punk Rocket played a note on his modified electric guitar that pushed Rage back a bit.
"That is pathetic. Is that all you got?".
"Ha!You'd wish" replied the villain who turned up the volume to 6. He played another note and this time he made his oponent lose his balance.
Rage's eyes turned blood red and he went on the attack. Punk Rocket played another note but couldn't stop Rage who grabed him by the throat and threw him into a wall makeing him drop his guitar. He then took the musical instrument and snaped it like a twig.
"My lovely!" screamed Punk Rocket "You'll pay for what you did to my lovely".
Punk Rocket stood up and furiously ran towards Rage punching him in the face. After hiting him he realised he made a big mistake. Rage turned his head and moved it to make it crack. He looked at his oponent like a maniac. Punk Rocket started to be afraid and the terror soon got hold of him.
"BOO!" yelled all of the sudden Rage making Punk Rocket panic and run into the wall by mistake.
"You tried to hit me ey?" asked Rage " Come here!".
Rage picked up Punk Rocket from were he was standing and threw him into the wall he first ran into. For the next ten minutes Rage didn't stop hiting, punching, throwing and kicking Punk Rocket into submision. After beating him he got hold of Punk Rockets arm and twisted it. A snap sounded and the villain droped to the ground in pain.
"Ahhh! You broke my arm you bloody wanker".
"And that wasn't even half of what I can do".
The rest of the team was now behind Rage observing him. They all thought that breaking someones arm is very unpleasnt but seeing how Punk Rocket deserved it they didn't protest.
"Next time I ask something be sure to do it" said Rage to his adversary who was now limping. He kicked Punk Rocket in the behind with his steel toed combat boot and told him to scram.
After seeing what happened the titans let Punk Rocket go. After all, he had a broken arm which suited him just fine.
"How is it that you were not harmed by the sound of the Punk Rocket's musical instrument?" asked Starfire.
"Yeah" intervined BB " You must have more wax in your ears then I've ever had. Tell me, what's your secret?" asked the changeling grining.
"After you sit next to an artilery batery and shell the hell out the enemy for five hours straight you get used to sounds like these" replied Rage.
"But still, that type of sound should have afected you even slightly" said Raven.
Rage smiled and laughed, "To me, that sounded just like a bad mixer with spoons in it".
