"BATTLE ARENA"-RED X AND ROBIN ARE CAPTURED.CAN THEY WORK TOGETHER TO ESCAPE.
"BATTLE ARENA"
The air was still as the Titans faced their new opponent for today. Robin's masked eyes looked straight into the masked eyes of Red X.
"Titans, go!" Yelled Robin and the team jumped into action, not knowing that somewhere in the warehouse, someone was watching them.
Cyborg aimed his sonic cannon at Red X. Red X saw and quickly pushed the button on his belt. He teleported right next to Cyborg and threw a 'x' on his back. It sent bolts of electricity, causing Cyborg to fall to the ground. Beast Boy transformed into a gorilla and tried to hit Red X. Red X dodged all his attacks. Raven saw Beast Boy struggling, so she decided to help. She started to chant her magical words, but Red X saw and threw a 'x' at her, covering her mouth. He then shot a 'x' at Beast Boy. It pushed him back and sent him crashing into Raven. They were tied together.
"Nice try." Said Red X. He was then hit in the back by a starbolt, causing him to roll to the ground. He looked up to see Starfire. "Nice to see you again to, cutie." He said while standing up.
Starfire didn't waste any time and shot her starbolts. Red X dodged all of them. He then shot a 'x' at her. It hit and pinned her to the wall. She struggled to get free. Red X calmly walked up to her, putting his hand on her chin, he moved her face upwards so that she could look at him.
"Now, cutie, about that da-." He was cut off by a kick from Robin.
"Robin!" Cried out Starfire in joy.
Robin then turned his attention to Starfire. He quickly released her from the wall. "You ok?"
"I am undamaged."
Red X looked at the couple while standing up. He couldn't help but to be amused. He let out a small laugh and Robin and Starfire turned to face him.
"Don't tell me, you two are dating?" He asked.
Both Robin and Starfire blushed. They didn't want to tell one of their enemy's that they were involved, so they stayed quiet. It didn't matter, Red X could tell.
"Well, that's too bad. We could have been a great couple cutie." With that said, Red X teleported out of the warehouse.
"Starfire, I'll go after Red X. You help the others." Said Robin.
Starfire nodded and he ran out the warehouse. The strange figure that had been watching them followed Robin.
It didn't take long for Robin to find Red X. Robin chased after him, following his every move. They jumped from warehouse to warehouse, until Robin finally tackled Red X to the ground. He had him pinned, but Red X wasn't going down so easily. He kicked Robin off of him and they found themselves locked in battle. The figure watched them battle and smirked. He had orginaly came for Robin, but after seeing Red X's skill, why not just take them both.
"Give it up X, it's done." Said Robin between breaths.
"What's the matter, Robin? Wanna hurry and go see your girlfriend?" Said Red X.
Red X took a swing at Robin and Robin jumped back, creating a small distance between them. They stood there glaring at each other. Then they heard clapping. They turned their heads to see who it was. When the figure stepped out of the shadows, Robin knew who it was.
"I am the Master of Games and I am here to claim you two as my prizes!"
Robin and Red X looked at him like he was crazy.
"I don't know why you're here, but I'm not going any where with you." Said Robin, ready to attack if needed.
"Yeah, and if you don't mind, we were in the middle of something." Said Red X, ready to finish his battle with Robin.
"I wasn't asking." Said the Master with a smirk on his face.
Robin and Red X stared at him. Around the Master's neck was a black gem. It started to glow and before they knew it, Robin and Red X was knocked out.
Starfire finally managed to help her friends and they went in search of Robin. Beast Boy sniffed around and they came to the spot were Robin was last. Beast Boy took his human form. The Titans stared at Beast Boy.
"Well, what's up. Why did you stop?" Asked Cyborg.
"I don't know. His trail ends here." Said Beast Boy, just as puzzled as the rest of the Titans.
"But if Robin is not here, then where is he?" Asked Starfire worried.
Robin felt dizzy and confused. His head hurt, like if he had got hit on the head. His eyes began to slowly open. He looked at his surroundings. He found himself to be trapped in a cage. He lifted himself off the cold ground. He then heard a grunting sound. He turned his head around to see Red X slowly waking up.' What is going on?' thought Robin to himself. Robin then heard a noise. It sounded like gears. The ceiling above them began to open and the ground started to be lifted. It was like a elevator. When they reached the top, they found themselves in a stadium. They were surrounded by a screaming crowd. There was not only villains in the crowd, but also some creatures that looked like the Master of Games. Robin and Red X looked around.
"Ok, what's going on?" Asked Red X.
"I don't know." Said Robin. The last thing he remembered was fighting Red X, then that's when the Master of Games showed up. "The Master of Games must be behind this."
That's when the crowd stopped cheering. There was a balcony located above the stadium. A figure walked out. He had on a long blue cloak and a black gem around his neck.
"I am the Master of Games!" He said in a loud voice. "Today, we bring in two young warriors to battle. Place your bets!"
In the crowd the people picked up a small box. They pushed the button for the person they thought would win.
"Wait, so we have to fight each other?" Asked Robin.
The Master of Games laughed. "You are mistaken. You're not fighting each other."
He then pointed to a door, which slowly opened. What they saw was a tall creature with one eye. It walked out of the door.
"Whoa, who let Shrek out of his cage." Said Red X with a laugh.
"This is serious!" Said Robin, angry at the way Red X was responding to the situation.
"Let the battle begin!" Yelled the Master of Games.
The monster came charging in. It threw it's hands down, in a attempt to hit Robin and Red X, but they quickly moved out of the way. The ground crumbled where the monster hit.
"Stronger then it looks" Said Red X, looking at the now crumbled ground. He turned to Robin. "So, do you have plan on how to stop this thing?"
"Yeah, we take it down."
"Fine by me."
Robin and Red X ran at the monster. They threw anything and everything in their belts. The monster dodged their attacks. That's when one of Red X 'x' hit the monster, tying it's legs together. Robin then took out his bo staff and hit the creature. A couple of more punches and the creature went down. The crowd cheered over their victory.
"Behold! Our new champions!" Shouted the Master of Games and the crowd cheered louder.
That's when the ground below Robin and Red X started to go down. They tried to make a run for it, but was blocked by a force field. Minutes later they were in the same cage. Robin punched his fist in anger. A figure walked up to them. It was the Master of Games.
"That was quite the battle champions."
"Spare me the talk." Said Robin. "What do you with us?"
"This is quite a business I have made, isn't it."
"Business?" Questioned Red X.
"Yes. You see, I find people worthy of battle, then I have them compete. Then the crowd places bets on who they think will win."
"So basically your using us to make a profit." Said Robin.
"That's exactly what I'm saying. So, until your next match you both will remain here."
Red X let out a laugh. "I don't know who you think you are, but I'm no one's puppet." He then threw three x's at the master, but they were blocked by a force field.
"That's a nice attempt, but it will serve you best to save your weapons for your next match." With that said he walked away.
Robin was furious. He kicked and punched at the force field. Red X was leaning against a wall, sitting down.
"Give it up kid, it's not going to work."
Robin turned to face Red X. "At least I'm trying, your just sitting around!"
"Lighten up chuckles. Were going to have to save our strength if we want to survive this."
As much as Robin hated to admit it, Red X was right. Robin walked over to the wall opposite of Red X and sat down.
"So, how long?"
Robin looked up to face Red X. "How long what?"
"How long you and cutie been going at it?"
Robin's face turned red. "I don't know what your talking about."
"Whatever. So, what do you think about our situation?"
"I don't know. The master of games isn't really all that powerful."
"So you don't know how to beat him."
Robin thought about it. The last time he faced him he was able to stop him with the help of his friends. All they had to do was get his necklace away from him. 'Wait a minute the necklace. The Master of Games had a black gem around his neck. That must be his power source.'
"I think I know how to beat him. Remember that gem around his neck?"
"What about it."
"I think if we get that we can get home, but it will mean we have to work together."
Red X shrugged his shoulders. "Well, I already played hero before. One more time won't hurt."
The ground below them started to rise. Their next match would begin any moment. Then all the had to do is grab the gem and escape. They found themselves once again in the stadium, surrounded by the same cheering crowd. Up in the balcony was the Master of Games.
"Today's match will be Robin against Red X!" He yelled. "Place your bets!"
Up in the crowd, Punk Rocket sat next to Professor Chang.
"My money is going on Robin. Who you betting on Chang?"
"I think I'll go with Red X. He's a far better fighter."
Back to the stadium, Robin was surprised. Him and Red X had made a plan to help each other, not the other way around.
"Let the match begin!" Yelled the Master.
"Just one minute!" Said Robin. "I refuse to fight with ..."
He was cut off by a kick to the stomach. He looked up to see Red X.
"Sorry kid. I'm more of a solo guy."
Robin stood to his feet. "Well if that's the way you wanna be ..." Robin took out his bo staff. "That's fine by me."
Two metal x's appeared on Red X hands. They started to spin and he ran at Robin. Robin jumped in the air, avoiding his attack. He took out two smoke bombs and threw them, blinding Red X. He then threw a birdarang, which cut off one of his x's. Red X did a back flip and threw some x's. Robin blocked them with his bo staff. Red X ran in and using the x he had left, cut Robin's bo staff. They then started to fight hand to hand.
"Once I'm done with you, maybe I'll look cutie up."
They made Robin fight harder. Red X noticed. This was the perfect time to put his plan into action. He jumped back, creating a distance between himself and Robin. He took smoke bombs from his belt and threw them. The whole stadium was covered in smoke. The crowd blinded by the smoke. Robin two was surprised and blinded, until he felt someone tap him on his shoulder. He turned around to face Red X.
"Follow my lead."
Robin nodded in response. Up in the balcony, the Master was furious. He couldn't see what was happening. The smoke began to clear and his eyes went wide at what he saw. His guards were unconscious and the ones responsible was Red X and Robin. The Master called for more guards but it was to late. Robin had already attacked and grabbed his gem of his neck. Robin and Red X then made a run for it.
"After them!"
Red X and Robin had already made it down the hall, they saw light up ahead. They new the guards was close behind. Red X stopped running.
"What are you doing?" Asked Robin.
"Taking care of our fanclub."
The guards were now even closer. Red X pulled out a x that grew in size. It crashed into the guards and pinned them to the wall. They finally made it outside. Robin activated the gem and a portal appeared. They jumped through.
The Titans were still searching the warehouse, when a portal opened. They were happy to see it was their leader that came back.
"Robin!" Said Starfire giving him a bone crushing hug.
"Dude, your okay!" Said Beast Boy.
"Yeah man, we were looking all over for you." Said Cyborg.
"So, what happened?" Asked Raven.
"The Master of Games kidnaped me and Red X to compete in his tournament in his tournament."
"Uh ... dude. Where's Red X?" Asked Beast Boy looking around.
"Up here kids." They looked up to see Red X, standing on a crate high above. "As much as I would love to stay for this welcome back party, I have stuff to do." He turned to leave, but stopped. "Oh, and cutie, if you ever get tried of bird boy, look me up." He then pushed the button on his belt and disappeared.
"Should we go after him?" Asked Raven.
"No. I've had enough of Red X for one day. How about we just get some pizza?" Said Robin.
"Booya!" Yelled Cyborg. "I say we get meat pizza!"
"No way dude!" Said Beast Boy. "I want tofu pizza!"
Raven just shrugged her shoulders and followed the two. "Whatever."
Starfire looked back to Robin. "I am really glad you are safe, Robin." She kissed him on his cheek and flew after the others.
Robin put his hand to his cheek. "It's good to be back." And he left to go follow his team.
