Happy Halloween, everyone!
"C'mon, you rotting bag of bones!" Cyborg shouted. His sonic cannon blasted an arm off on one of the shambling creatures, leaving a dusty hole in what should have been a bleeding wound. The ghoul let out a long, slow moan and shuffled closer, as his dozens of cohorts shambled stiffly down the main hallway.
"It did not work!" Starfire shrieked, before letting off a dazzling barrage of star bolts. The shimmering green orbs of energy exploded in chaotic patterns, blowing huge chunks of necrid flesh off the hordes of the undead. Still, they came with their jaws hung open, their skin a light shade of grey as their eyes were dull and sunken in. Their teeth were jagged and yellow, as a thick, black goo oozed down their jaws.
The zombies seem to have come out of nowhere, waltzing right past Cyborg's defense systems as the various turrets and lasers were designed to locate vital signs only. The undead had attacked the front door of the tower, pushing through the main gates with just their sheer size and numbers. It had been a struggle all night long, with four of the Titans (Beast Boy had run to the store for more toilet paper) gradually being forced back into OPs were they were making their last stand.
"There's too many of them!" Raven shouted, before hurling the couch at a cluster of zombies with her powers. Dry, brittle bones cracked in the midnight air, snapping some of the ghouls in half. With their lower torsos missing, they crawled towards the empath, hissing as they snapped their decrepit jaws at her. "It's almost as if the entire city became these…things."
"I don't know." Robin said sternly, sending a zombie's skull flying with a spin from his bo-staff. "All I know is that I refuse to lose to these monsters and we will defeat them. We just have to discover their weakness."
"I betcha B would know." Cyborg said. As a zombie lurched for the metal Titan, Cyborg swung a mighty right hook to the creature, only to wince in disgust as his fist became stuck in it's chest. "Aw man, that's just nasty." he lamented. A surge of black energy tore up the creature, before being ripped in half by the dark powers of the Azarathian. "Don't you got like a spell or something that can get rid of these things?"
"I have no way of being certain." Raven said, blocking a group from tearing her jugular off with a shield of energy. "My spell books are in my bedroom and I can't make it there on my own."
"Ohhh this is not good." Starfire worried loudly, eeking in fear as a zombie attempted to grab her flame red hair. "I do not wish to be eaten by these zombies."
"It won't happen, not tonight, not ever." Robin said as he flung three razor sharp Birdarangs. They sunk into the shoulder, neck and chest of a small batch of zombies, barely fazing them as they continued to press on. "I will defend you to my last breath, Starfire."
"I hope Beast Boy is okay." Raven said, trying to swallow the nasty lingering fear that was welling up within her. She had said goodbye to her green beau hours ago and the fact he had yet to return from the twenty four hour S-Mart had her concerned.
"Beast Boy can take care of himself, I know this." Robin said. Truthfully, he had his doubts as the four of them were struggling with the horde, let alone one of them. He knew Raven could sense his frustration, but hoped it would be drowned out in the chaos of the battle.
More and more they came, breaking through walls and doors, some of them even climbing up the walls of the Tower and breaking through the large glass windows. It wasn't long before the remaining Titans were literally backed into a corner, the stench of the army of darkness strangling their senses. It seemed hopeless, with certain doom coming in a flash of necromantic cannibalistic frenzy.
"I shall miss you, Robin." Starfire said quietly, a single tear running down her cheek.
Before Robin could utter a reply, the sound of an engine revving seemed to echo through the cold night sky. With a resounding crash, a moped broke through one of the last remaining windows, with the driver jumping off in mid air and landing in a perfect three point crouched position. The moped landed into a group of zombies, exploding upon impact and reducing them to mere moldy chunks of zombified flesh. In the glow of the fire and moonlight, Raven easily indentified her green lover. Beast Boy had returned.
"I came here to kick butt and chew tofu." he said, loading what appeared to be a sawed off, double barreled Remington shotgun. "And I'm all outta tofu." The zombies moaned in response, ignoring the rest of the Titans and staggering towards the green Happy Meal before them. "Let's dance." the changeling said with a smirk.
Easily he dodged a zombie, before rolling backwards and firing the mighty boomstick. With a loud splurt, the zombie's skull exploded, sending a grisly shower of moldy brain matter and rotted skull fragments on the carpet. "You guys need to calm down. You keep losing your heads." Beast Boy said, before smashing in the face of another zombie with the butt-end of the boomstick.
What followed next could only be described as a macabre ballet, as Beast Boy jumped, flipped, rolled and spun his way to evade the horde, firing off round after round from his mighty shotgun, aiming for the head each time and achieving a perfect kill ratio. No shells were wasted, and soon, the changeling stood triumphant as the bodies of the rotting invaders lay at in his feet in pieces.
"Friend Beast Boy! You have saved the day!" Starfire said, zipping across the room for a mighty hug.
"Yeah, B. I gotta say, I'm impressed." Cyborg said, offering a fist bump to his best friend.
"That was some serious moves you just pulled, Beast Boy." Robin said. "Maybe…maybe you might be able to teach me some of them later?"
"Heh, I'm not Batman, but I'll try my best." Beast Boy said with a laugh.
"That was so incredibly hot." Raven cooed, wrapping her arms around Beast Boy's waist. "Have I mentioned just how turned on I am right now? You are so getting laid tonight. I'll even do that thing with my tongue you always wanted me to do."
"Hail to the king, baby." was all Beast Boy said, swooping his violet-haired seductress down for an engrossing kiss. "Gimmie some sugar."
Raven giggled, playfully licking his lips slowly and softly. "Oh, you'll get your sugar, green machine. But before I tear the clothes off you and ravage you all night long, I just gotta know one thing."
"Oh yeah? And what's that?"
"When are you going to wake up?"
"…huh?"
"I said, when are you going to wake up?"
Raven stood over the edge of their bed, gently rocking the changeling to alertness.
"I let you sleep in till 10, and that's long enough. Cyborg even took the liberty of making you tofu bacon and Starfire wants you to carve 'the lanterns of jack' with her."
Beast Boy sat up in bed, rubbing the crusty sleep dust from his eyes. He yawned, stretching his lanky limbs as sunlight poured into the bedroom.
"Dude, I had the most awesome dream. Lots of zombies, and explosions, and I had a shotgun and it was totally cool."
"I'm sure it was fantastic." Raven said dryly. "But how about you get dressed and meet the rest of us in OPs, ok?"
"Yeah, sure, Rae. Sounds good."
Raven turned around to walk out the door, but stopped as if she had suddenly reconsidered something. Turning around, she walked back to Beast Boy, who was still sitting upright in bed.
"Happy Halloween, Garfield." she said, before kissing his lips gently.
"Happy Halloween, Rae."
