Teen Titans Forever Chapter 4: FEARSOME FIVE, a teen titans fanfic

"FEARSOME FIVE" - SHIMMER, MAMMOTH AND GIZMO ARE LOOKING FOR TWO NEW ADDITIONS TO THEIR GROUP.

FEARSOME FIVE

A man wearing a navy blue suit, white shirt, and red tie appeared on screen with a microphone in his hand. His brown hair was perfectly combed and he smiled at the camera. "Hello villains of Jump City! Welcome to the first ever Fearsome Five auditions. Today's event will determine which two lucky villains will join three of the lamest-" a chair was thrown at his head. Fortunately for him it missed. "-I mean greatest trio of villains ever to plague Jump City. It is my great pleasure, and fear, as the host of this show to introduce these trio of villains who will also be the judges of this event."

He walked over to a table and raised his arm, gesturing at the largest boy who sat at the table. "Mammoth."

Mammoth, who was stuffing his face with a baked turkey, put his meal down and burped loudly, ruffling the neatly combed hair of the host. He wiped his mouth and smiled sheepishly.

"Shimmer."

The view moved over to Shimmer who was applying lipstick. She noticed the camera, straightened up, and blew a kiss.

"And Gizmo."

Gizmo, who had a handheld game in his hand, lowered it and raised a brow. "Who the crud are you?"

The host walked away laughing. "Let the auditions begin!"

Shimmer, Mammoth, and Gizmo sat behind a table. Each one of them had a bored expression on their face.

"Why do we need to do this again?" Gizmo whined, slumping in his seat.

"Because how do you expect just the three of us to face the Titans? We'll get our butts creamed," Shimmer explained. "The only chance we have of winning is if we even the scale. We need two more members."

"Shhh!" Mammoth glared at his two companions, lowering the finger that he had raised to his lips. "The next person is up."

A scrawny boy with glasses stumbled on to the stage and into the spotlight. He straightened his glasses.

"Name and power please?" Shimmer inquired, clipboard and pencil in hand.

"M-my... na-ame is... S... S... Sabbac!"

At the call of his name a bolt of black lightning struck the boy. When it disappeared, instead of a scrawny boy, a tall red muscular demon stood on stage. The demon lifted into the air, flew above their heads and landed back on the stage. He then created fire in his hands.

"Cool!" Mammoth and Gizmo said in union, grinning.

Shimmer scribbled something on her paper. "Next!"

The auditions continued on with various villains making an appearance. Mumbo appeared and did multiple magic tricks. Punk Rocket played some tunes on his guitar. Fang came in swinging on a web. Katarou demonstrated some karate. Control Freak stepped up on stage and was immediately asked to leave. The same happened to Kitten.

"You'll be hearing from my daddy!" she screamed before two people came to escort her off the stage.

In addition to some old faces, a couple of new villains appeared as well. There was a guy named Neutron who was a pure energy being, a boy named Charger who had the ability to absorb and channel electricity, and another boy named Rumble who created sonic blasts from his helmet. He was currently leaving the stage and a girl walked past him. She stood in the center of the stage.

"Hey, she's kind of cute," Mammoth muttered to Gizmo behind Shimmer's chair. Gizmo nodded in agreement.

"Name and power," Shimmer snapped after hitting both Mammoth and Gizmo on the head. They fell to the floor, little disco balls floating above their heads.

"My name is Deuce," said the girl wearing a blue and black uniform. Suddenly there were five of her on stage and they all spoke at once. "And this is my power!"

Shimmer leaned forward in her chair. "You can multiply?"

"Uh, well not exactly," replied the one in the middle. She swatted her hand at the one next to her, her hand passing through her head. "They're more like illusions. A trick on the mind."

"What good is that useless power?" Shimmer snapped. She pointed a finger at the door. "Get out of here!"

Deuce's shoulders slumped and she left the stage, her head hung low.

Backstage Control Freak pointed a finger at her and laughed. "Wow! You're an even bigger loser than me!"

Deuce narrowed her eyes and punched him straight in the jaw.

The host appeared on screen again, this time he was standing infront of a closed bank. "The judges are currently taking an intermission to discuss the auditions, so while they're doing that I thought it would be nice to speak with Billy Numerous," the camera went in for a closeup of the grown man's face. "Billy Numerous is a former member of the Fearsome Five. Unfortunately disputes amongst the teammates caused him to walk away from the group."

A clip was shown back at the Fearsome Five's headquarters. Billy Numerous, along with a few of his clones, sat on the couch eating pizza.

Mammoth stormed into the room. "Billy, you ate all of the pizza again!"

"Sorry buddy. I have extra mouths to feed with all of these here clones."

"Billy," Gizmo stormed into the room. He held a broken game console that was snapped in half in his arms. "You broke my game console again!"

"Sorry buddy, me and the boys were rough housing."

Shimmer came into the room next. She was wearing a new outfit which consisted of black leather pants, a black choker, a black leather jacket, and yellow top. "Hello boys! What do you think? I got this outfit today at the mall."

Gizmo grumbled. "Whatever."

Mammoth showered her with praise. "You look awesome sis!"

Billy walked up to her, examining her head to toe. He turned his attention to her face. "Those pants make you look fat."

What happened next was complete chaos. Shimmer attacked Billy using all of her strength, his clones fleeing the room to hide. There were screams as Mammoth and Gizmo tried to hold Shimmer back as a running Billy Numerous clone ran into the security camera, knocking it to the ground as he screamed for help. Static appeared and the clip ended.

The host returned to view. "Since then Billy Numerous has decided to work solo, er, or rather, he's a one man team. Him and his clones."

The bank's alarm was heard and Billy Numerous burst through the doors running, a sack of money in his hand.

The host ran after him, matching his pace. "Billy Numerous, a word please!"

"Eh, kind of in the middle of escaping here," Billy announced

"Just a few questions," the host pleaded. "For your fans."

Billy Numerous abruptly stopped. "Fans?"

The host nodded.

"Well, shucks, I guess a few questions wouldn't hurt," the villain said, smiling.

"Excellent. Now tell the world your feelings about being replaced from the Fearsome Five."

Billy Numerous' face was one of shock. "Replaced?"

Police sirens were heard and three cops tackled Billy Numerous to the ground.

The host inched away from the scene. "...We'll get back to you, Billy."

He dropped his mic and ran.

The host reappeared. This time he was sitting at a table with Kyd Wykkyd by his side.

"Kyd Wykkyd, please tell us your thoughts about being replaced from the Fearsome Five," the host requested.

Kyd Wykkyd looked at the camera and then back at the host. Silence.

The host cleared his throat uncomfortably. "Perhaps you can tell us why you are no longer apart of the Fearsome Five?"

Kyd Wykkyd looked at the camera and then back at the host. Silence.

"Well this is a big waste of time," the host said, clearly disappointed as he rested his chin in the palm of his hand, his elbow on the table. Someone to his right handed him a card. He took it and read it. Immediately he perked up and smiled at the camera. "Ladies and gentlemen, I've just been informed that our judges are ready to announce their decision."

Those who auditioned for the two available spots on the Fearsome Five team stood on stage. Some looked smug, others nervous. A moment passed and Shimmer, Gizmo and Mammoth reclaimed their seats. The lights died down and focused in on Shimmer and the two boys beside her.

Shimmer pulled a microphone to her lips. "First I would like to thank everyone here today for auditioning. Some of you were amazing, other not so amazing."

Eyes turned to Control Freak, Kitten, and Deuce. Control Freak fiddled his fingers and Deuce crossed her arms. Kitten poked out her tongue.

Shimmer continued. "We wish we could pick more than two members-"

"Not really," Gizmo snorted. Shimmer smacked him upside his head. "Ow!"

"Shut it midget, I'm trying to be professional," she hissed. She stood up straight and laughed sheepishly. "Now where was I...? Oh, I remember! As I was saying we would love to pick more than two, but unfortunately we're the Fearsome Five, which means there is a limit to how many people can join."

"How come we're the Fearsome Five?" asked Mammoth. "Why not the Fearsome Eight? Or we could go back to being the Hive-"

"Fearsome Five sounds cooler!" Shimmer snapped, causing Mammoth to shrink back. She sighed. "Oh for the love of... I'm done with formalities. Psimon and Dr. Light, you guys are in. Everyone else can leave."

There were multiple reactions at once. First there were groans and complaints mixed in with Dr. Light's triumphant cheer which was followed by him shaking his hips in a victory dance.

Psimon grinned evilly, rubbing his hands together. "Excellent," he said.

Some of those who weren't picked shouted, claiming vengeance. Sabbac changed into his demon form and roared. He then flew upwards, crashing into the roof and leaving a gaping hole as well as rubble in his wake. One person left the stage in a crying fit. Eventually the area cleared out, leaving only the Fearsome Five. Shimmer, Mammoth and Gizmo joined their new teammates on stage.

Shimmer placed her hands on her hips. "We're finally ready to make our presence known to the Teen Titans," she pointed a finger forwward. Mammoth and Gizmo stood to her left, Psimon and Dr. Light to her right, all in battle stances. Lights shined behind them. "Fearsome Five, go!"

"Um... go where exactly?" Dr. Light asked timidly.

The lights behind them disappeared and Shimmer smacked her forehead. She glared at Dr. Light, smoke coming out of her nostrils and flame spitting out of her mouth. "We're going to go face the Titans you idiot!" she shouted, Dr. Light cringing in fear. She stormed off the stage in a fit of wrath, the boys looking at her fearfully.

"... Is she always like this?" Dr. Light asked Mammoth.

"Pretty much," he replied, Gizmo nodding besides him. "Yeah."

It was a regular day in Jump City. The sun was out and the citizens were going about their business. The atmosphere was calm. So calm in fact that the Teen Titans decided to venture out of their tower and enjoy themselves. Currently they were at their favorite pizza place.

"Man, can we please, for once, just have a nice meal without you complaining about meat?" Cyborg said to Beast Boy.

"Dude, how can I not when you want to order pepperoni!" Beast Boy shot back.

"If you don't like it just pick the pepperoni off!"

"Hello, dude, I have a very sensitive tongue. I'd still be able to taste it's after flavor and smell it! Do you want me to puke?"

"That's an image I don't need," Raven said flatly.

"See, now you've grossed out Raven!"

"Me? You're the one who started it!"

"Dude, no pepperoni!"

"Yes pepperoni!"

The two boys growled at each other and a scruffle broke out, their fight concealed in a cloud of smoke with various limbs, and even tentacles, poking out every now and then.

Robin sighed and glanced at Starfire. "Star, would you mind?"

"Not at all," she replied cheerfully, smiling ear to ear. Suddenly her expression became fierce and she dived right into the scruffle.

The sound of crashes, breaking glass, animal noises, and horns were heard, and by the end of it all both Cyborg and Beast Boy sat crossed legged on the floor by Starfire's feet. They were both grumbling and had a few bandages, their arms crossed. Starfire smiled proudly.

Raven smirked. "I think we have a new weapon against their stupidity."

Robin chuckled at that, ready to make a reply, but was interrupted.

"Titans!" someone bellowed.

The Titans looked around. They were the only ones sitting outside on top of the pizzaria.

"Dudes," Beast Boy called, looking down, his hands gripping the ledge. "You gotta come see this."

They all joined Beast Boy's side, peering down. Below, standing outside the pizzaria, was Psimon, Mammoth, Shimmer, Dr. Light and Gizmo.

"What's Dr. Light and Psimon doing hanging with those three?" Cyborg questioned.

"We're the Fearsome Five!" Shimmer announced. She pointed a finger at the Titans. "And we challenge you to a fight!"

Starfire glanced at the boy besides her. "Robin?"

"If it's a fight they want," Robin began, his eyes narrowed. "It's a fight they're going to get."

Shimmer grinned, chuckling madly, her hands glowing a dark pink. "Bring it."

The host appeared on screen, microphone in hand and his trademark shining smile plastered to his face. Behind him was the pizzaria, only slightly torn down with smoke and flames wafting off of it. "You are now looking at the scene where an epic battle between the Teen Titans and Fearsome Five took place. Unfortunately the clash between these warriors resulted in the destroying of Jump City's best pizzaria."

The camera zoomed in on firefighters who were currently spraying the flames with water.

"It was a great struggle and the Fearsome Five fought on until the bitter end, proving that they are a strong team indeed," he said proudly. He paused before grinning. "But not stronger than the Titans! Yes, Jump City's finest were just a little better than our favorite team of villains. Let's have a word with them, shall we?"

The camera zoomed in on Cyborg who was on his knees, crying at the destruction of his favorite pizzaria. Starfire was by his side doing her best to console him. There was static and the camera switched over to a view of Beast Boy who was gestering wildly with his hands as he retold the fight (which he tweaked to better fit his image).

"-and I was all like POW! And Mammoth was all like 'NOO!' and went down in one blow! Then, I totally went like KA-BAM on Psimon, saving Robin's butt. Robin was all like 'oh you're so cool and epic Beast Boy. I wish I was as strong and brave as you. You're totally better looking and deserve to be leader and-"

Robin appeared by the green teen's side, jabbing a finger at him, his countenance an angry one. "I never said any of that! And that never happened in the fight!" he looked at the camera, his brow raised. "Wait, are you filming this?"

The camera moved up and down. Yes.

Static filled the screen once more and switched over to a view of Raven. The host was standing besides her.

"Raven, tell the world what you think about today's battle," the host requested, moving the mic over to Raven.

Raven glanced at it, then at the host. "...Who are you?"

The host laughed. "Delightful!"

One by one the Fearsome Five, all bound by special handcuffs that blocked their powers, entered the police van. Gizmo was the last one to enter and he sat across from Shimmer. He glared at her.

"Nice going snot for brains," the small boy spat.

Shimmer gritted her teeth and kicked him, his yell of pain being the last thing heard as the doors shut on the team of villains. The van then drove off towards the prison.

The host appeared again. "I'm you host. Thanks for watching this special on the Fearsome Five," he smiled. "Until next time."

Someone clicked their remote, the tv screen shutting off and the face of the host disappeared. The person placed the remote on their coffee table and leaned back in their chair, the light hitting their face. The person was revealed to be Control Freak, and sitting besides him were all the other villains who were rejected membership to the Fearsome Five.

Deuce smirked. "Serves them right."

Her, Control Freak, and the rest bursted into laughter.
