Chapter two
"Raven?" Starfire asked as the two of them floated along, looking for... well, the dragon thing. It looked like a dragon, at least. The video had been fuzzy.
"Hmm?" Raven looked over at Starfire, who looked like she was about to have a nervous wreck.
"Do you think... well, that this could be a pranking by naughty boys?"
"I dunno, Starfire. We'l have to see," Raven said, trying to sound convincing.
"Holy Master Chief!" Cyborg yelled in their ear-pieces. Both Starfire and Raven winced from the loudness and held their ears.
"Cyborg! What is it?" Robin replied.
"Dude! I was a freaking wolf when you said that. Do you have any idea how sensitive wolves ears are?" Beast Boy chimed in, sounding very miffed.
"I found the dragon. It's definitely a dragon. And it's got someone cornered... you better get here quick!" Cyborg said in a rush.
Starfire let out a yelp of surprise, while Raven froze, causing her to fall quite a few feet.
"We're coming, Cyborg. Don't attack. Hang in until we get there," Robin ordered, and was answered by Cyborg yelling...
"Hey Scaly! I killed your mom in Metroid!" Which was followed by the sounds of his arm cannon firing.
"So much for that..." Raven murmured as she and Starfire started toward the coordinates Robin had given them.
"RRRAAGGGHAR!" something screamed in their earpieces, which instantly caused screeching feedback. Both Raven and Starfire stopped flying in shock and dropped down, holding their painful ears.
Raven was the first of the two of them to recover. She ripped out the earpiece, which looked like it was busted, anyway, and regained her flight. Seeing Starfire, Raven murmured something, which caused a black ball of energy to encase Starfire and stop her fall. Starfire, after a moment, ripped the earpiece out and threw it down. She then gave Raven the thumbs up. Raven released the ball of energy and the two of them sped off toward where they were beginning to hear distinct screaming of both humans... and something else.
It was huge, about the size of all five Titans' bedrooms combined, and nearly as tall as a two story house. It was scaled and had massive claws, with a long spiked tail that whipped around and knocked over cars and moved with the speed of a race car. It had massive horns protruding from it's huge skull which tapered into wicked sharp points. When it roared, it revealed two rows of razor sharp teeth, like a shark's. From it's back sprouted two massive bat-like wings.
"That's certainly what I would call a 'dragon.'" Raven commented, her voice not giving away any emotion. Cyborg beckoned them over to an alley that he was hiding in. All of the Titans quickly came over, all keeping a wary eye on the dark purple dragon. Even though it was about a block down, being this close to something that looked so ferocious and vicious was making all of them nervous.
"Ugh! It's so frustrating... None of my power beams work on it's scales. It just bounces off," Cyborg said softly. More then one person took a sharp intake of breath. Cyborg's power beams didn't have any effect?
"Titans," Robin said after a moment of silence. It seemed like he had just come up with a plan. Everyone looked at him, hopeful. "We'll have to give it all we got. Don't hold back."
Both Raven and Cyborg looked at Robin sharply.
"Did you not just hear that-" Cyborg started.
"Robin, you don't even know why this dragon is here. Don't you-" Raven cut in.
"... My power beams don't work? That-"
"...Think we try to figure out that first?" Raven finished.
"...is my best!" Cyborg finished, as well.
Robin looked at them for a moment, obviously trying to sort out who said what.
"Cyborg: That's your best arm cannon strength, but what about your other skills? Raven: It's here to destroy. It's already brought down half of this side of town. We need to stop it. If we stop to ask questions it may destroy everything else. Titans, move out!" He dashed out of the alley, not giving anyone time to argue or ask questions. Beast Boy gulped and shifted into a panther and followed. Starfire took a breath and then got a determined look on her face. Her eyes started glowing neon green and orbs of light started shining around her hands as she flew after them. Raven pulled her cloak up and floated after them, and Cyborg did a quick check on his vitals on his arm meter.
Soon, all five Titans were running down the street toward the purple dragon.
"Please destroy something else!" Starfire yelled and shot her star bullets at the dragon's eyes. It roared and tried to swipe at her with it's lethal claws, but she easily dodged by flying higher. Robin took out some of his ninja stars and threw them at the softer looking skin of the dragon's belly. Beast Boy shifted into a T-rex and roared in the dragon's face. The dragon seemed shocked for a moment, then...
"RAAAAWWWGGHHRRR!" It returned to Beast Boy, who shifted down into a mouse in fright. Cyborg shot a powered up beam into the dragon's mouth, to which the dragon gagged and shook and swayed. It's yellow eyes bulged as smoke trickled out of it's slightly open mouth.
"Good work, Cyborg! Everyone, aim for it's mouth!" Robin shouted and he did three flips backwards as the dragon's flailing and deadly tail lashed around and nearly hit him. Starfire charged up and got ready to shoot the dragon's mouth with her powerful eye laser, while Beast Boy, who had recovered, shifted into a hummingbird and darted up to it's head. Cyborg charged up another shot. Raven's hands began to have her black energy swirl around as her cloak began to float about her.
But the dragon had learned it's lesson and had clamped it's mouth shut. It growled and swiped at Cyborg with it's massive paw. Cyborg yelped and just barely managed to jump back in time, but the dragon's sharp claws still managed to scratch Cyborg's metal chest. Some electricity flickered around the three slashes, and Cyborg winced.
"That's my favorite rib cage!" He yelled in anger and began to charge up his arm cannon again.
"Azurath Metrion Zinthos!" Raven said and black energy clamped onto the dragon's mouth and wrenched it's jaws apart. The dragon screamed and lashed around, but Raven held on to her power. She was beginning to feel sweat bead up on her forehead, this dragon was putting up a hard fight.
"Guys..." She gasped. "Do it... now!"
The other four Titans all moved at once.
Beast Boy shifted into an eagle and stabbed at one of the dragon's eyes, screeching.
Cyborg shot his power beam at the dragon's mouth.
Robin pulled out one of his powerful bombs and threw it underneath the dragon.
Starfire shot her eye laser and hit the dragon's mouth.
The dragon screamed in pain and stumbled backwards. Robin's bomb exploded underneath it and it collapsed. Beast Boy shifted into a T-rex again and growled, waiting to see through the dust if the dragon would rise.
"No! Zorath!" A girl's anguished voice cut through the silence. All of the Titans turned at the same time to see a girl about their age standing there in the clearing dust. Starfire let out a yelp of surprise while Cyborg's mouth dropped.
The girl was of a small build, and pale. She had jet-black shaggy hair that fell into her eyes and just brushed her shoulder blades. Because of her hair, none of them could make out the color of the girl's eyes. She was wearing a faded red hoodie that was so beg it nearly touched her knees with ragged jeans that was covered in grass stains. She was barefoot, but the length of her jeans only let her toes peek out.
But that wasn't what was causing the Titans to stare.
The girl was sitting right by the dragon's head, her frail body draped over it's snout. And she didn't seem afraid or scared in any way.
